I do not own DP only my ocs because if I own DP then it will crash before it started.
We went back to my house,mid afternoon, telling Dmitri to go clean himself up first.
"Here, clean yourself with this." I threw him a clean hand towel and he caught it. "Are you sure you don't want to go first?" He asked, one of his eyebrows raised. I waved my hand dismissively "Its fine I'm gonna do something first." He nodded then went for the bathroom.
I pulled my drawer open and immediately reach out to my googles at the back and retrieved a box of tools and folded blueprints in another drawer and proceeded to work on my bed.
If we're gonna continue doing this then we need something that would help us follow their trail.
Me and Dmitri were skeptical at first to the idea of the existence of ghost (I like to explore but doesn't mean I believe they're real) but mom and dad's portal to the other world mysteriously started working, meat attacked the school, rumors of a dragon attacking the party (surprised it's not viral or something)
I even remembered a time when Danny started a garage sale (without mom and dad knowing but he has my full support) and ended up being possessed by a ghost.
Yeah, we're really convinced that ghosts exist after that so we decided to look a little deeper.
Which ended up not as fruitful as we thought it would be. After looking through the Internet the only thing we discovered anything ghostly related to school was locker 724, where a student in the 1950's haunt it (I know Danny had it as a locker once but ended up receiving disapproving looks when they found out that the mirror is shattered)
That's why I was hoping my project will help us with this, after all it's purpose was to detect nearby ectoplasmic entities.
Although the female ghost from today though reminds me of something...
...something really sad...
"Aliyah still there?!" Dmitri snapped me out of my thoughts. He definitely looks much more cleaner right now "Oh whoops." I subconsciously rubbed behind my neck "Went to another universe back there." He gave me a small smile "Your turn to clean yourself up." He handed me the towel. I grabbed it, making sure I'm holding the clean part, and was about to walk out of the room until I stopped by the doorway.
"Have we ever talked about a sad story related to this ghost before?"
He simply shrugged as he sat on the edge of my bed, careful not to break anything "We talked about a lot of stories and I don't remember anything related to her." I hummed in thought "Can you check what you remember in the Internet that looks like that ghost earlier? My laptop is in the false bottom of the drawer." He looked at me incredulously.
"You have a false bottom." I shrugged "More like a poor attempt of one." Then I walked away to the bathroom just to remember that I forgot to get a change of clothes and returned to the bedroom to get it (Dmitri already typing away in the laptop) and went to back to the bathroom.
I came out of the bathroom wearing a yellow shirt with a pink star in the middle and blue pants without my usual googles (left it in the bathroom for thorough cleaning next time)
"Found anything?" He shook his head. "Not yet, there's three more that I'm gonna search." I walked and sat right next to him as he search, both of us saying no to the first two, until I saw the last one.
"I think this is it." He nodded in agreement.
A story of a harem woman complete with illustrations and commentary.
"Wow, the drawing even matched that ghost." Dmitri said while zooming in the picture "Whoever made this must know the whole story."
Somewhere in the shops of SwapMeet, an old woman sneezed.
"Anonymous..." I said in a disappointed tone.
"She came out of a genie lamp though." Dmitri recalled as he unconsciously look up (his habit of doing when he tries to remembering something.)
"A ghost who grants wishes huh?" I lay down on my bed with my arms crossed and my eyes close " Assuming that she is a wish granting ghost then since the lamp is broken most likely she has no master." My eyes opened to look at him "Do you think she only grants three wishes?" He shook his head.
"I don't know and we're not even sure she grant wishes, for all we know she's a strong ghost who simply got trapped in a lamp that people just called a 'genie in a lamp.'" He answered. "True." I agreed as I absentmindedly continued my project.
He closed the laptop "How's your invention?" He asked as he stood up and returned the laptop's original hiding spot. "Almost done... A little this and a little that then it should work." I told him without looking away from it.
Silence.
Dmitri looks at the clock in my desk "Wow it's already 5, the game is about to start in few hours."
Silence.
"Wanna go to the football game tonight?" He asked, I raised my head to look at him " If it means I'll see the football star bully then maybe not." He open his mouth to say something but he closed it up and let out a defeated sigh.
"Okay but I'll save you a seat in case you change your mind." I nodded as I waved him goodbye.
I heard his footsteps and the sound of the door closing, he must have left the house now, I sighed
'I really wanted to finish this project for a long time...'
I don't know how long I was doing it but I finally finished it. All my sweat, tears, sleep (not that I could sleep much anyway) and joy, It's done!
I excitedly wore it then the world was tinted in red. I press a button on the side and waited.
And waited...
And waited...
I gave out a sigh, maybe I should walk around.
I stood up and was about to leave my room until my cellphone rang in 'simple and clean' ringtone signaling that Dmitri is calling.
"Hello?"
"Ahh Aliyah I don't know whether you like to know this or not but did you know your brother is the mascot?" Next thing I knew I was already out of the house.
"I'm on my way!"
Out of the corner of my eyes, while I was running, something glowed green and flew past by me.
Must be the trick of the light I am still wearing my googles.
I found myself on my knees, panting, the moment I saw the field.
"I *gasp* made it!" I internally screamed.
"Woah Aliyah, you okay?" Dmitri came running at me, he must have been looking for me the whole time.
"I'm *inhale* fine."
He nodded and gave me a hand and pulled myself up. I took one last deep breath "So...where's Danny?" He let out an amused smile at my statement and leaded me to the seats somewhere in front.
We sat at our seat and I immediately saw our Raven mascot, apparently covered in bandages "What in the world happened to him?" Dmitri followed my line of sight "Players are a bit rough with mascots."
Oh...I thought the mascots are supposed to help boost the player's morale.
We continued to watch the game , looking at Danny once in a while (I smile every time and I could even see a little but if his blue eyes) I can sense a bit of disappointment from Dmitri.
"Our team is losing." I simply nodded in agreement.
Until I noticed a green glow once again.
My eyes widened and my mouth opened at the sight of the genie ghost. A green swirl went to the blonde foot ball player and started to grow in size and turning green. The genie ghost started to glow a little brighter.
He started to win the games.
"Wow, those high protein breakfast has started to pay off." I shook my head at the statement of the announcer.
"Dmitri," I shook him "Dmitri." He kept smiling, maybe at the fact the team is winning.
"Dmitri the ghost gave the football player ghost strength." (Well..I just assumed) I finally got his attention then he squinted his eyes a bit then frowned.
"What are we gonna do?" He asked in a monotone voice.
I bit my lip. I never thought of hunt ghosts (and it's not like I have weapons right now)
My train of thoughts was destroyed when a saw something floating that is glowing green (with a tint of blue?) went to the infected player.
"Do you see that?" He looked at me, his eyebrow raised "I see nothing."
Another floating thing came out of the guy and the player turned back to normal.
"Do you see that?" He nodded "A translucent ghost...never seen that one before before." I groaned he still can't see the other one.
I opened my cellphone and switched it to camera, I can still see all of them through the camera, and took a picture of the three of them.
Then I noticed the wish granting ghost left and the unknown glow brought the other one to the back of the seats. Immediately stood up and followed them.
I arrived during the process of the other one being pulled into the glowing thing and disappeared.
Did it eat it?
I panicked at the idea.
The glow, somehow, faced me. I stared at it for a moment, after an eternity, it left.
I stood in place, not knowing what to think until I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"What happened?" He asked, I shook my head. "I'm not sure but I think... The glow...the one you couldn't see... ate the ghost."
His eyes looked upwards, after a moment he sighed " I'll bring you home and you better sleep early tonight." I gave him a quizzical look.
What does sleep has to do with this?
I continued to give him the same look "Come on, let's walk to your house together."
I thought for a while...then decided to think about this at home, better just standing around here.
We started walking home but I immediately stopped and ran to the mascot, who is currently on the post, hanging.
"Danny?" I started helping him down then Dmitri finally reached me and helped me with the process.
When the mascot is finally down he shouted out in joy " I'm free!" Then I realized that he's not Danny and took a good long look at the person inside.
Then I realized he's Danny friend (the Tucker guy I think.)
"I can't believe he ditched me!" He shouted out loud then turned to face me again "Thank you dudes!" Then he quickly left.
He apparently didn't recognized me.
But something else is bothering me.
"When did they switch costume though...?" He shrugged "Maybe they switched while we were distracted by the ghost." I nodded, accepting his idea.
"So, continue walking home?" I nodded once again and we started walking in the night.
Once Dmitri brought me home, he left to go back to his. I sighed as I walked in the house and went upstairs.
I was about to walk into my room until I heard a sneezed in Danny's room.
"Are you okay?" I asked from the other side of his closed door. "...I'm fine." He took few seconds long before answering. I bit my lip in worry "You should wear a scarf or at least a jacket tomorrow." After another pause "Okay sis, you should rest up too...I saw mom and dad sick downstairs." I smiled at his concern.
"Okay." I happily replied and went to my room.
I plopped on my bed and let out a long sight. I was about to cover my eyes with my arm until I felt my googles "Ah... I forgot I was wearing this the whole time." I removed it and placed it on my drawer and covered my eyes.
My mind wondered about what happened today, the shops, cotton candy, the backstory, not that I'm overloaded but I never worked myself so physically before.
I moved my arm a bit and one of eyes open, as my other hand went to grab my cellphone to examine the picture.
...only to find out I only saw the two ghost, the wish granting one and the one who came out of the player.
"Wha..." Then I remembered my googles and immediately wore it again.
I kept alternating, removing it and putting it back on then I smiled.
Things are getting interesting.
Hey guys :3 nice to see you all and I wanted to say... I cry... with tears of joy QwQ

Although the thing is...I don't have plans on continuing this but I mean I will continue this for a bit but then I feel disappointed at my ideas and I would have preferred someone else doing this but most likely I'll continue this (but lacking of fixed update or no sched for the next release) but I will type on :)until my typing inspirations dies lol but as long as it lives I'll try to continue typing.
Thank you all for taking time reading this poor excuse of a story T-T
