Hello readers! Like l said this is not my season. I dislocated my wrist and broke my finger on a school trip and typing is hard. I hope l get better. So l hope you know why l have not updated in a long while and this is why the chapter will be short, cause typing with one hand ain't easy.

SO enough with my problems and let me continue...

Guest: It's Sam.

Unlucky Alis: Just wait...patience is a virtue.

randomphandom: This is the kind of motivation that made me write this chapter even though my hand was messed up.

ShinyMudkipGal: Thanks!

Sophia the daughter of Nyx: Thanks!

Chapter 5: New girl is the target.

It was now three months after the Killaso fleet attacked. The school was now back to normal...well, some things. Even though Danny saved pupils lives they still treated him like dirt because Dash still had the upper hand. But whenever they mistreated him they mistreated him with respect.

They still wanted to keep their social status intact and Dash had the the mandate and power to change it. Although his social life was still intact, his Phantom life was not as easy as it used to be.

Ever since he 'accidentally' made Skulker disappear ghost activity decreased. When ghosts did attack they would be extremely malevolent ghosts, that ranged in the power levels of nine and ten. The only low level ghost that would attack was the box ghost, but he didn't count, did he?

To make matters worse, two weeks after the Skulker incident, he figured out his power levels had increased in Ghost 101 class, from seven to nine. Unlike other ghosts that only ever increased power levels, once or twice, he started from three to were he was now. Even Vlad's levels never changed like that.

To add onto his problems when he went to the ghost zone for help there were no ghosts in sight.

The problem was that there were there but they seemed to be hiding...but from what? When he went to Clockwork's tower he could not find him anywhere which was odd because Clockwork never leaves his tower. Again when he went to Far Frozen to ask about his problems they didn't know, which was confusing because they all wore the "l know something, but you don't" look. This was extremely annoying.

When he met Klemper instead of asking him to be his friend, he whimpered away. Whatever it was everyone knew but him, and it infuriated him. The situation was now hopeless, but at times like this he always learnt to wait...as they say, patience is a virtue. Other that that, everything was okay...okay in Danny's terms.

He walked into the halls of Casper high, looking at the students as he passed by. Everyone was doing their own thing and most chatting about useless topics. His feet automatically turned to the direction of his locker, it was hard to miss it. It was the one with the word 'loser' spray painted onto it. He took out his books for English class and sighed. The night before he was being hunted by Crystal, a ghost whose obsession was with crystals, well at least we know one thing...she sure lives up to her name. Most of the ghosts that would hunt him were always talking about "ripping out his ghost core" for some reason. It was now getting annoying.

"Hey," Sam said as she was nearing Danny. She came back to school a week after the hostage incident.

Ever since fourteen she was slowly developing into a beautiful young woman. She now had an hourglass shaped body, an appropriate one...unlike Paulina's. She was petite. Her attire had also changed. She now wore a black skinny jean, an extremely dark purple tank top with a skull icon on it and her usual combat boots. She now wore here hair long, right above the waist.

Danny had also grown up. His voice gave into puberty and was now a baritone close to the one of Dan's. When this happened, he always refused to talk. The voice seemed to scare him. His parents thought he was retarded for a while until he started getting used to it. He was now taller although he didn't show it because he always walked while slouching... for certain reasons. His hormones too had grown up. It was now becoming a bit impossible to not notice how cough-mature-cough how his female best friend became, but because of his hero complex and the fact that he can't get too close to someone made him push the feeling aside. This would have been easy if he wasn't a teenage boy.

"Hey," he said back. Sam just rolled her eyes and reached for her locker, which Danny was currently standing in front of. She nodded her head in the direction of the locker, seeing that he was making no efforts to move out of the way, she shoved him. "Ey, daydreaming already, l thought you only did that in Lancer's class," she mocked.

Danny immediately blushed and got out of the way. This wouldn't have been awkward if it hadn't been for the fact that he had been staring at her.

She took out some books and headed for the direction of their class.

Before Danny got his powers, she would have stayed and chatted with him...but now things where different. She wanted to be as far from Danny as possible. She didn't want to be hurt anymore. As Danny thought about this, he remembered when she had made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

"Why are you so secretive! Is this so called secret more important than your best friends...than me," she said the last part a bit quietly, so quiet that no human could hear it, but Danny heard it just fine. She was obviously hurt and angry. "Sam..." Danny breathed out. "Don't Sam me!" She yelled at him, "Just tell me, what do you want to protect us from...nothing is after me!"

"You say you are my friend, but I'm starting to doubt that. I tried to-to be there, just like any best friend but you won't let me!"

"Danny, don't make me give up on you, because I'm not a quiter!" She stopped to give the guy a chance to talk. "If that's what it takes to let me go..." he started slowly. "Wait, you actually want me to let you go! You know what, so be it! I want nothing to do with you ever Danny Fenton!" And with that she left.

This happened two days after Sam was discharged. When this thought came into his head, he banged his head onto the locker. Why did being a hero need so many sacrifices.

A crowd suddenly burst into the halls. A beautiful girl surrounded by the A-lister's moved down the halls. The girl looked like she was trying to escape. She didn't seem to like the company although she looked like one of them. Mhmm, maybe she was another one of those fake people who faked around people to be popular.

As the crowd passed Danny, the two shared a glance, she momentary waved at him and was dragged by the crowd. Danny was left dumbfounded.


Lunch, most students favorite time of school. Danny navigated himself through the crowd of students. He found his place next to his best friends under the tree. Since it was such a beautiful and sunny day, Mr Lancer suggested that the students ate outside to boost their spirits. Ha! Like that would ever work.

"Sup, dude!" Tucker asked as cheery as ever. Although Tucker was angry at Danny he knew whatever it was he was keeping from them, it was for a good reason.

"What's got you in a good mood," he got into a pretend thoughtful stance, "You got a date?" He asked. "Um, no, well close enough, l talked to the new girl. Well we only introduced ourselves to each other because we were in a group assignment, but that still counts," he replied.

"New girl? l guess it's that one l saw from the halls, that waved to me for no apparent reason," he said. "Wait, you mean the Everest Metafonia waved to you," gasps, "The one walking towards us," his eyes went wide, Sam must rolled her eyes and the girl now known as Everest stopped in front of them.

"Hey," she said so sweetly that she could make a five-year old seem like their voice was a deep baritone.

Danny seemed to be paying no attention to the strawberry coloured haired girl behind him. "Hey! Remember me from Bio!" Tucker said out loud. "Um, yes" she said slowly. "What do you want," Sam asked coldly. "I was just coming to ask if l could sit here and eat, if that is okay," she said in a sugar coated voice that could give you diabetes. She tapped on Danny's shoulder, breaking him from what ever train of thoughts he was aboard on. "Wha-huh, oh yeah, that's cool with me," he said like someone has asked him a question right after waking up.

She smiled and sat down next to Danny. "So you couldn't resist me," Tucker asked. "Well no, 'coz l wanted to see Danny, he looks like a nice guy," she said. "Yeah, wait till he stabs you in the back," Sam said.

"Believe me when l say l am a good judge of personality," she replied. "Suite yourself," she shrugged, "I think you got lost, the A-listers sit over there," she pointed out. "Oh, no! Those people are imbicles and immoral! They only would let you associate with them for your looks and if you were rich," she corrected. Sam smirked, "This should be a start of a beautiful friendship, I'm Samantha Manson but call me Sam if you want to wake up the next day! This is Tucker Foley-" she was interrupted.

"TF for too fine," he topped this off by winking at her. "Sorry he does that to every girl...even me when we first met and that was in third grade and he still can't get a date...l wonder why?" She said in fake thought. "This is Daniel Fenton, l believe you know him," she said. "Yeah, l saw him in math class," she explained. "I never saw you," he finally said something since the beginning of the conversation.

"That's because l sit behind you," she said a bit nervously, "But l sit at the back of the class so how can you be behind me," he quizzed as he leaned over to her in suspicion, eyes narrowed. "I-uh, um-" she was interrupted when a large guy towered over her. "Hey, do you want to sit with us," the blonde said, "l understand if you haven't noticed, these are losers you're sitting with and a cherry like you deserves to sit with royalty," he said as he put on his million dollar smile. Everest frowned and stood up, "You think l would wanna hang with a jerk like you! Please! Only someone with half a brain would agree, so leave me alone!" She ended up yelling.

Dash frowned, "You will regret this!" With that, he left.

"Wow cool you stood up for yourself, not many girls have all the five senses to do that anymore!" Sam remarked as she gave her a fist pump. She didn't look like she knew what it was at first but she tagged along.

They all started to talk about themselves and their lives with the new kid, now known as Eve. Turns out that she was actually a hippie, with an actual sense in fashion. Well how could l miss that, l mean she was wearing a flowery head band and extremely colourful clothing. She was colour blocking to be exact.

Like green skinny jeans, purple and yellow striped crop top with a bright red peace sign and red pumps with a white flower. She had green eyes, almost unearthly, was what Danny thought about them. She had caramel coloured skin and strawberry red curly hair. All in all she was extremely beautiful. She was a vegetarian, unlike Sam who was an ultra-recyclo vegetarian. Neither the less Sam appreciated that about Eve. She was from Australia. Every time Eve explained about her life Sam like her more while Tucker just eyed her. While the three were engrossed in their conversation Danny to a close look at her...there was something fishy about her he couldn't put a finger on.


"I can't believe you actually want to join ghostketeers, l on the other hand joined it without knowing," she glared at Tucker. "Ey, I'm just joining it because my mates are in it," she confessed.

"Well good luck," Sam said as they walked into Fenton household. They walked into the living room which had plastic chairs for each student to sit on. The now a quartet took their seats. They waited about four minutes till the place was full. The Fenton's walked into the room carrying guns. Danny didn't like the looks of this.

"Good afternoon my fellow ghostketeers. Today as you can see we are going to be doing something that involves weapons," she said as she pointed to the guns Jack was holding. He didn't get the correct message of this gesture, so he jumped in and, "We're going to learn how to handle ghost weapons," he said out loud. "So to start off let us go to the lab, downstairs," she ushered the students into the kitchen and down the stairs to the lab. The students were awestruck at how high tech the place was. Danny on the other hand was used to this place that it wasn't so amazing to him.

He had his hands folded over his chest.

"So now we are going show you the weapons," Maddie said. "Jack, l hand over to you," Jack's face brightened up at this. "Now this here baby, is an ecto-blaster. It blasts ghost beams to shoot ecto scums," he pointed to one. "This is the Fenton Grappler, this posses as a net for ghosts. This bad boy here is the Fenton bazooka, there are two types one that flushes ghost back into the ghost zone, and the one that shoots ghost beams." He said as he walked over to them.

"This is the Boo-merang, it senses a ghosts unique ecto signature and tracks them down, although we haven't worked the bugs yet...it keeps on tracking Danny-o," giggles were heard around the room.

"This is the Fenton double bladed lightsaber, a lightsaber, for hunting ghosts! Here is the Fenton crammer, it shrinks ghosts!" He told the class, "Why didn't you just call it the ghost shrinker?" Someone asked, "That's what they would expect!" Was his smart reply, Maddie facepalmed. "Here is the updated Fenton anti-creep stick, it is covered in ectoplasm so ghosts cannot go though it! This is the Fenton wrist ray, it blasts ghosts! This is the Jack o' nine tails, when it catches ghosts it electrocutes them. This is the Spector deflector, it protects you from ghosts! If one touches you while you're wearing it, it zaps them, like a bug!"

When he was Done with the long inventory everyone sighed in relief.

"That's almost everything folks so now let's hand out the weopons," he said. Maddie pulled a high tech looking wagon with weapons in it. "We're going to be giving you according to your height, strength and capability," Maddie explained.

"Dash you get a bazooka, " she gave it to him but it was a bit too heavy that he had a hard time carrying it, but he wouldn't show it.

"Qwan you get between a large sized blaster and the flush bazooka, which one do you prefer?" She asked. "Bazooka!" He answered quickly, he just wanted to be like his friend. "Brock you get an anti-creep stick," she handed out the weapon to the ginger haired. "Star, wrist ray."

"Sam, medium sized blaster," Sam smirked devilishly. "Tucker, Jack o' nine tails," he groaned, it had Jack's face on it. "Paulina, lipstick blaster," her face brightened, "What flavour it it," she asked, "It's not real lipstick, it is a blaster," she said as if she was explaining to a five year old. She continued giving out weapons until she got to Danny. She eyed Danny for a while, "lipstick blaster or wrist ray," Danny looked at her like she had grown another head.

Something in Danny broke. Snap! Like a twig. He just wanted to slap the hell out of the woman. Did she really think he was that weak! If only she knew...

"In that case then don't bother giving me a weapon. I'll sit it out," he said with a edge. She didn't seem to listen to him and she tossed him a wrist ray. Eve ended up getting a lightsaber after making it known that she could use a sword, how insulting was that!

"Okay, now pick a target, l will walk around showing you how to use each and every one of the weapons," she instructed and everyone obliged. Danny on the other hand didn't. Something in him was not right. He felt like going on mount Everest and shout a chain of curses. He just stood there, he took a deep breath in and breathed out. He sat down a nearby chair and watched them. After everyone was taught how to use them, they went onto target practice.

Danny watched as Dash tried to shoot the target. He kept on missing, he would shoot at the edges of the target. Danny snorted but it didn't go unheard by Dash.

"What's so funny, Fen-ton, you think you can do better. Ha! Look at you, a wrist ray seriously, and you're laughing at me, amateur!" He teased. "It's called underestimation Dash!" He retorted. "Oh, then try, l bet you can't even lift it up," he mocked him. Danny got up his eyes flashing green for a moment. He took the the blaster easily from Dash like it was as light as a feather. Dash was shocked but he returned to his cool exterior after. "Let the boss show you how it's done," he spat out, his baritone voice making what he had said sound a like the ghost of Wisconsin had said it or some other evil ghost.

As Danny pulled the trigger, his mother was now on the way to take the gun away from him, but she was too late. The blast shot the dummy head on destroying it. It evaporated before their eyes. His mother stopped in mid-step awestruck by what her son had done. She blinked a couple of times and walked over to him.

"How did you do that," she asked. "Mom I'm a child of ghost hunters. Isn't there a slightest chance that ghosts may go after me because of that, so I think you can read behind the lines of what I'm tryna say here," he lied smoothly, he wasn't sure if that was a bad thing or just sad. She hugged Danny obviously had gotten the message. "Sorry for understanding you," she apologized. "Mom, PDA!" He whispered into her ear. She let go of him, "Can l change your weapon for you," she offered. "No, it's okay," he smiled. Turns out that's all he wanted wasfor his mom to acknowledge things are not always what they seem, but be knew that after this he would slap himself for what he did.

He returned to looking at the students they were doing pretty bad. He went to see how Sam and Tucker were doing. Tucker was doing fairly well with the moving target as he was trying to grab it will the jack o'nine tails. Sam on the other hand was having a little trouble with the blaster.

"Hey, need help," he asked Sam.

Sam sighed and agreed, she knew when she needed help although sometimes she was stubborn. "How you're holding the gun is okay, but your stance it not so good. You cannot shoot with both your eyes. Which one your dominant eye!" He asked. "Uh, my right eye," she answered. "Yeah, so aim with that one. You're positioning the blaster all wrong, now hold it a little more higher," Sam did catch onto this quickly so Danny pushed it into position.

He glanced at her feet and pressed his own foot at the side of hers a forced them apart. He leaned forward over her shoulder to examine how she held her gun since he had moved her. "You lowered it, bring it back up," he instructed and she did so. "Good," he nodded. He grabbed her waist, which Sam was not comfortable with she blushed. Danny pulled her a back a little and moved away. Sam was now blushing so badly she looked like a tomato after realizing how close he was. "Pull the trigger," she did that and the ray his the dummy dead on.

Her eyes went wide when she saw this, she smiled and hugged Danny. "Thank you!" She said a bit out of character.

"Your welcome," he said as he awkwardly returned the hug. When the exercise was done everyone settled in the living room.

"Today was a tiresome day and l want to congratulate you for your outstanding work. So now l know you want to rest and do your own leisure activities. So goodbye students." Maddie dismissed them and they all went home. When Danny was now half way up the stairs his ghost sense went off.

Danny muttered something and ran into his room and turned into his alter ego.

He flew out to look for the ghost. He stopped at the place where he sensed where the ghost was. He stood there and saw flickers of light. Suddenly the lights multiplied and joined together and formed a being. It was a she. She had golden blazing hair. Amethyst orbs for eyes and pink skin. She was wearing a blue robe and golden gladiators.

"Greetings Phantom," she said.

"I'm Celestia, heir to the throne, right after l remove your core," she emphasized by making her hand into a fist.

"What's with you ghosts and my core," he said in exasperation. "My, my, my, you are as oblivious as they say you are," she laughed. Danny narrowed his eyes and went into a battle stance, "Let's dance!"
