A/N: Fifth chapter(is that how you spell fifth?)! YAY! Come on, be happy! Thank you for those who reviewed. Even if they weren't too many people. Ah well. Can't really expect much in only one day! Well, I hope this is good enough for you and I hope I don't make too many typos
Alice had decided not to dwell on her brother's rude instrusion and went back down the stairs to call up her friends. Surely they could console her. She knew she couldn't go to her parents. They would probably only say her brother is lying and that she has nothing to worry about. Obvious. She made sure to take her sketchpad with her incase Andrew would try anything.
Picking up the phone, she punched in Jonathan's number and waited for him to pick up. To tell the truth, it was also Jeanette's number since they were twins. The Myst Twins to be exact. They were quite the team. Jeanette was the serious type, always wanting everything to be in perfect control. She had sparkling hazel eyes and brown hair just like her brother and was usually seen in a black skirt with a purple T-shirt that said 'Back Off" on the front and "Better Believe It" on the back.
Her brother was a little on the clumsy side. His eyes were hazel and his hair dark brown. He was always making jokes and was sometimes a little hard to take serious. He was usually seen in blue jeans or khaki color cargo shorts with a black T-shirt that had a 'J for Jerk' logo on it. He loved that shirt for somr reason. Not even his sister knew why, he just did. He was really sweet and his big hazel eyes only made him a little more adorable. Alice thought he was great to be around with, but he sometimes made things seem like such a big deal it was annoying. But you get used to it.
The phone was picked up at the other end after only the third ring. It was Jonathan. "Hello?" he answered sleepily. Alice looked at the clock. 9:10 A.M.
"Hey, it's me, Alice," she answered back. "Did I wake you up or something?"
"No, I was just bored because Jeanette is trying to explain to me the periodic table."
"Should I even wonder why?" Alice asked.
"Trust me, don't ask! So what's up?"
"I wanted to check out all the newspapers you have. Mind meeting me at the park later so I can?"
"Sure, no prob, should I bring Jeanette along?"
"As if she won't come anyway!" Alice said, laughing slightly. Jonathan laughed at the other end as well.
"Okay, meet you there in twenty?"
"Deal, see you then," Alice said. Jonathan said bye and she hung up the phone. She got up and rushed up the stairs to get her shoes. Putting them on, she rushed back down the stairs, shouting out to her parents all the while. "Mom! Dad! I'm going to the park!" she shouted, reaching the door.
"Where?" Danny asked, peeking out the kitchen.
"Park with Jeanette and Jonathan," Alice said quickly, going out the door.
Danny followed after her and she jumped over the steps of the porch. "For how long!" he shouted after her.
"I'll be fine, bye, Dad!" Alice shouted, waving as she ran for the park, sketchpad in hand.
At the park, later on that day, Alice was looking through the binder filled with old newspaper articles, each in perfect condition. Jonathan and Jeanette were looking at the sketch. "He does look familair," Jonathan mumbled, handing it back to Alice.
"I know, but I don't know why," she mumbled.
"Have you asked your parents?" Jeanette asked. "Maybe it was a relative we've met of yours or something."
"Doubt it, besides, they'd just ask questions," Alice mumbled, flipping through a few more pages. "They wouldn't understand." Jeanette grimaced, really thinking she should ask her parents.
Alice stumbled upon an article reading: 'Inviso-Bill States His Name!' It continued on to say:
After a few days of ghostly captivity, Amity Park was rescued by our very own Inviso-Bill. He, on the other hand, was reluctant to accept any gratitude for he vanished before we could give him any. He did, however, state that his name was not Inviso-Bill but Danny Phantom, or just plain Phantom. Turns out our little ghostboy is actually the hero of our town! We wish his luck on the next battle versus evil!
After that was a picture of the boy, Phantom, in flight. "That's him!" she exclaimed. "It's him, it's him!" She showed her friends, putting her sketch next to the picture.
"You're right it is," Jonathan said, not believing his eyes.
"Imagine the chances," Jeanette mumbled.
"But what does it mean?" Jonathan asked. The Twins had a habit of talking along the same line and seemingly completing each other's thoughts.
Alice looked at the pictures, the name, the details. "I don't know," she mumbled. "But if I ask around for this Danny Phantom guy, I'm sure I'll get my answer."
As the teens talked, a figure far off smirked slightly. "So, the father has not yet explained his title," the figure said in an evil-sounding voice. "All in good time, and all in good word." The figure laughed evilly at his inside joke. Who is this guy?
End Note: I wonder if anyone will figure out who this mysterious figure is? Hmmm...
