Nikki's POV
So now my brother, cousin, aunt and I are finally here. Where is here, you ask well we are now in the past with Jazz driving us to our house that is about two blocks away from dad's old house. I wanted to know if we keep our names or if we change them, so I asked, "Jazz are we going to keep our names or are we going to change them?" She looked at me as if confused that I could actually understand the importance of the question. "Well Nikki why don't you tell me." Now she caught me off guard with that, "Well I think we don't have to since no one knows us at all and we answer to our names quicker than we would our alias's." I stated it as if it was the simplest thing to understand. Jazz smiled at me through the mirror and told me that I was correct and that tomorrow we will be starting school with our parents.
Derek's POV
Ugh. My sister, cousin and I now have to start our first day of high school. Well I guess it's time to meet our parent's younger selves. As soon as I got dressed there was a voice in my head saying "Hey Derek you need to hurry up, Jazz said that we are leaving for school in five minutes." I was startled at first but then I remembered how to respond, "ok, did she say how we are getting there?" Jazz usually hates it when we use this power to communicate but we need to communicate from across the house without shouting so it works, another response from Nikki, "Yea, we are walking so that we can meet mom, dad, and Uncle Tucker on the way there. So get down here now." Ok now Nikki's mad, not good. I went down stairs and Jazz looked at me and said that we had to leave in order to catch up with our parents and uncle. She said that Tucker and Danny always wait for Sam in the morning; she said that just because she was a Goth doesn't mean that she didn't worry about her looks. Alex and I laughed at this until we saw Nikki's face, Nikki was a Goth just like our mother and she is also a vegetarian. We left and walked down the street and found Danny and Tucker outside of Sam's house. Jazz told us we have to get use to calling them by their first names. So we approached the two.
Nikki's POV
We approached Danny and Tucker, I told the guys to think before they say anything so that they don't slip up and give us away. As we neared them, they turned around and smiled, Tucker came up to me and said "Why hello there, why is a pretty thing like you walking around with these two boys?" I groaned and said, "Well one is my brother and the other is my cousin." When he saw Derek glaring at him he backed off and scratched the back of his neck, Danny laughed and said, "Well hi, I'm Danny and the one that just tried to hit on you is Tucker, we are students at Casper High. So why are you three out walking around this early?" I answered because I didn't trust the two boys I was with, "We are also students enrolled in Casper High that's why we are out walking, and I'm Nicole but call me Nikki, this is my brother Derek and this is our cousin Alex." The two boys next to me smiled and waved at the other two, then the door to the house we were in front of opened and Sam walked out. She looked at the five of us and said, "Hey Danny, Tucker. Who are you three?" She asked it nice but her eyes is what made me go behind Danny out of reflex. Danny seeing this action looked at me and then he looked at Sam and said, "Sam try to hide your anger a little better so you don't scare them. The one hiding behind me is Nikki, the one wearing the blue jeans and blue shirt is Derek her brother and the other one is their cousin Alex." When he was done he turned to me and knelt down and put his hands on my shoulders and said, "Don't be afraid of Sam she's nice once you get to know her, she'll warm up to you guys just be patient. Now, who's older you or your brother?" After he asked me this question I looked at Sam whose eyes held nothing but assurance, she smiled at me, "I'm older by a few minutes, but I'm still responsible for my brother's safety and for my cousin's safety as well." I said looking at both of them and I smiled as Danny said, "Well Sam, Tucker, and I will share that burden with you. Right, guys?" He said, Sam smiled at me and said, "Why wouldn't we share such a burden, I mean us girls have to stick together right?" I smiled back and Sam walked up to me and gave me hug and said, I'm sorry for scaring you before, you just reminded me of me so much that I thought you would be ten times worse, but your ten times better." With that the six of us made our way to the school. On our way I showed Sam my schedule she looked it over and said, "Wow. Your schedule is identical to mine." I smiled at her and said "So I can just follow you to find my classes."
Sam's POV
I couldn't believe that Nikki and I have the exact same schedule; Danny and Derek have the same classes to and so does Alex and Tucker. This is weird but whatever it doesn't mean anything. My thoughts were interrupted by seeing Danny's ghost sense going off, and I saw something similar coming from the twins, then all of sudden all three of them said, "I have to go!" They all looked at each other and Danny and Nikki said "To the bathroom." They looked at each other shrugged and ran off. I was confused, I followed Nikki without her knowing. I saw her walk into a stall in a black tank top and black jeans but she came out with white hair, glowing green eyes, and a jump suit that reminded me of Dani's only Nikki's had pink where Dani's would have black. Nikki's suit had NP instead of DP. She looked at me and as soon as she saw me her eyes started to fill with tears. I was really confused now, after that she flew out of the bathroom.
Nikki's POV
I couldn't help it my eyes just started tearing up when I saw Sam standing there and knowing that she knows that I have ghost powers. I flew out of the bathroom as quick as I could at the same time I saw Danny fly out of the boy's bathroom. We got to the cafeteria and in the middle of the lunch room was Skulker. I groaned and said, "Can you just leave so that we don't have to waste our energy to beat you to a pulp, you piece of scrap metal."
Danny's POV
Sam's POV
I don't know who this ghost girl is but she defiantly has some good witty banter by calling Skulker a piece of scrap metal. I looked at her and she looked so much like Nikki that I was going to ask but just than an ect-blast from Skulker's wrist gun hit her in the chest. I flew and caught her, whoa she's a halfa, she's changing, I watched as the girl in my arms changed into the human form of none other than, Nikki. I looked up and saw Sam running over to me, she said, "You have Nikki good." I looked down at Nikki and then Sam said "But, she's out cold and she's out of her ghost form which means." I saw her digging through her backpack for a minute, then she pulled out her wrist ray and pointed it at Skulker and said, "You hurt Nikki you're going to get hurt by me."I may not have known Nikki for very long but she already became my best friend. When someone hurts my best friend they pay for it, this is how I ended up pointing a wrist ray at Skulker. I don't care if she is a halfa she's still my friend and I'm going to make Skulker pay for what he did. I looked at Danny, he was still holding Nikki, "Danny get Nikki out of here. Skulker shouldn't be too hard for someone who's actually paying attention." Hopefully he won't be too hard, man Nikki why did you have to use banter like that? I hope she's ok, well I'll figure that out as soon as I'm done here. I saw the look on Danny's face, he didn't want to leave me here to fight Skulker so I knew what to say, "Danny get her out of here and then come back." He said, "Sam I'm not going to just leave you here to fight Skulker by yourself," he handed Nikki to me, "you get Nikki to the bathroom and try to wake her up before class, NOW." He said the last word loudly, so loud that I turned around in time to see Skulker flying at me. The next thing I know Skulker is flying THROUGH me. I looked down to see Nikki looking up at me smiling, "um… hey there Sam. So I miss class yet?" I smiled at her and said "no. but I do know that you're a halfa, so now how did it happen to you Nikki?" I said as nicely and calmly as I could. I saw her face fall, I decided I'd let her rest before she tells me, "You know what why don't you just rest until a minute before class starts that way we won't be late to class, ok?" She smiled at me and nodded her head, and then she closed her eyes and next thing I know she's sleeping soundly in my arms. I nodded my head at Danny and walked to the bathroom, once I got into the bathroom I set Nikki down on the counter. I looked down at her and smiled, she reminds me of me so much, whatever happens I will protect you, you can count on me, Nikki. I looked at my watch and it said there was still two hours left before our first class started, I'm just going to go to sleep before the first class starts. Why do we always get here so early? I took one last look at Nikki who was still sleeping and I went and sat against the wall and fell asleep.
Nikki's POV
I sat up and saw that I was in the girl's bathroom at the high school. I looked around and saw Sam leaning against the wall sleeping. I smiled jumped off the counter and walked over to her and shook her shoulder. Her eyes snapped open and her fist went for my face, but I caught it because I was for it. Wow some things never change. I looked at her with her fist still in my hand and I raised an eyebrow at her and said, "You jumpy Sam? I mean I don't find myself scary, but I guess you do." She looked at me and smiled and said, "No I don't find you scary and I'm not jumpy I just have reflexes when people wake me up, that's why my parents stand to the side of me when they wake me up." I helped her up, I looked at my watch and it said that we had two minutes before class started. "We should probably get going class is going to start in a couple of minutes, and I bet we'll have to talk to Derek about why we were in there for two hours." I groaned at how Derek will play the concerned brother role. Sam laughed and said, "He's your brother so of course he's going to be concerned as to why you were in a bathroom for two hours." We walked out of the bathroom just to be greeted by Danny and Derek, I forgot that the two of them had a free period for the first class. Sam spoke first, "Lecture us at lunch because unlike some people we actually have a class to get to so, bye. C'mon Nikki." I smiled as I followed Sam to our first class.
