Dreamscape Alternate: My Life Goin' Ghost
Updated Note: The only characters I do own are Evelyn and myself.
Chapter 3: Casper High
As far as I could tell, Desiree was going to have to be my 'foster' parent in this world. Well, I did get better in a couple of days. During the recovery days Desiree had somehow been able to get my files into the Casper High data files as a new student from Ohio. Errgh...what I could do without school.
The third day turned out to be Monday (god I hated Mondays), which meant I was going to suffer a full week of schoolwork and stuff I probably already knew.
Getting to Mr. Lancer's office was easy, after that...let's say getting to know the corridors and hallways of Casper High was not an easy task.
"Uh okay...room 132." I paused and looked around. From what I could tell, I was next to room 12 and Math Class was upstairs. I spotted the nearest staircase and swiftly walked up to it. "This is going to be easy!" I though to myself only to see a bunch of Football Players was running down the stairs trying to get to football practice.
"Great..." I moaned bitterly before getting run over. I wound up back at the bottom of the stairs before standing up and dusting the footprints off me. "What could possibly go worse?"
I walked up the stairs and into Math Class. I was introduced before being placed next to a window and alongside a punk girl with pink colored hair and pigtails. Her outfit seemed to be from a soccer team except she wore jeans. Gee, never saw her before.
"Hi, I'm Evelyn." She introduced.
"My name's Mona..." I replied a bit sheepishly. "Nice to meet you...?"
"First day jitters huh?" Evelyn asked with a welcoming smile.
"Uh...yeah..." I nodded.
So far, I got to know one friend. Evelyn seemed a bit like my sister only more punk-ish and a lot nicer. One thing I do remember of my sister is her constant whining and cursing. Heck, the wish got me away from her and into a PG rated zone, HA!
Lunchtime was pretty much okay, I still hadn't caught a glimpse of Danny, Tucker, or Sam, not to mention it was a bit too quiet for my opinion.
"What is it Mona?" Evelyn asked as I held a rather suspicious look towards the door and silently chewed my sandwich.
"Has anything weird happened here?" I asked after swallowing.
"Besides a giant meat monster, an armored ghost, and a ghost boy, everything's been fine." She responded. Great, I was in a lost zone or I was in between episodes. I chose the second opinion again. So far I could tell that everything was normal. I was about to get up and get another soda when I realized that the extra two dollars Desiree got me were in my locker.
"Great..." I muttered.
"What is it?" Evelyn asked.
"I have to get something from my locker." I responded. "I'll be right back!"
Right back, not really the term for fast, wouldn't you say? Once I got to my locker I spotted Dash. He had a smug look on his face after slamming a locker shut and I took this as a good time to pretend I was an average teenager "minding my own business". This worked and he passed me.
I breathed a sigh of relief and closed my locker after fishing my two dollars out. "Close call..." I walked in the direction of the locker Dash left and paused. He might have locked an unexpecting teen in there. I noticed the locker was somewhat unhinged so it was easy to open. I cautiously opened it and paused in time to hear a body fall and a groan.
"Oh geez..." I groaned. "Are you okay?" I asked in a worried manner when I saw Danny holding his head.
"Uh...yeah." He responded. "This happens all the time." Danny stood up and brushed himself off. Just seeing Danny Fenton in person was just as exciting as meeting someone who acted in an old sci-fi TV series in a convention. Fortunately I was able to contain myself.
"Um, my name's Mona." I introduced and extended my hand towards him. I kept it from quivering as he shook it.
"Danny..." He responded. "New kid right?"
"Uh...yeah..." I nodded.
"Were you the same one who got run over by the football team this morning?" Danny asked as he released my hand. Eyebrow raise...didn't see that coming.
"You guessed it..." I had a very embarrassed look. Great, my first day at Casper High and I'm the court jester. "Well, I have to get back to the lunchroom. Evelyn is probably bored and..."
"I cannot believe you only came out with footprints!" Danny pointed out. "I usually wind up the nurse's office!"
"Eh...yeah..." I shrugged. True...it could happen. Then again Desiree probably followed me around. I did make that wish earlier. "I just got lucky."
"Okay...it was nice meeting you."
"You have Mr. Lancer in seventh period English right?" I asked, slightly hoping I was in the same classes with one or more main characters.
"Yes?"
"I could meet up with you there right?"
"Sure!"
"Okay I'd better be going then." I said before I headed towards the lunch hall and Danny went the other direction.
Things were looking up so far. If I was lucky enough I would get Desiree back into the Ghost Zone. There was just a tiny problem...I forgot about a very certain element that could happen every now and then.
"Huh?" I looked up suddenly and had my eyes narrow. "Oh no...not you..."
"I AM THE BOX GHOST!!!!!" The chubby ghost shouted. I was surprised that even Danny didn't hear him.
"I'm seriously going to be late for lunch..." I groaned before the contents of a box labeled 'Wizard of Oddball' fell on me. I stood up in the costume of what appeared to be a dog and grimaced as the ghost flew away laughing. "Good thing nobody's staring at me or I'd be transferring."
Boy was I wrong...I didn't realize that my arrival on Amity Park was not only viewed by Desiree, but by one of Danny's strongest enemies.
Meanwhile, in an isolated area...possibly the ghost zone...
"She's still here sir."
"Good...don't let her out of your sight..."
"Sir, yes sir..."
"And do me a favor and stop calling me sir!"
"Sorry sir!"
"AAARGH!!!"
