Hey, hey , hey guys! So I'm going to say straight up that OC submissions have been RE-OPENED! This mainly is because I'm still getting people submitting OC's on Chapter 1 and then realsiing on Chapter 2 that they're closed, but I've decided that I'll just re-open them.

Just a quick note- anyone who PM'd me their OC, can you please re-submit in a review, because I like to keep them all together (VampireFrootloopsRule, you have permission not to review your OC, because I asked for a PM, so don't panic)

Also, Jeanette9a, can you please submit your OC's appearance and not just the link because I can't access that link off my phone.

Ermmmm….. What else do I need to say?

Oh, heaps of people have been asking how many OC's got excepted and I'm pretty sure they all did, but I might not use yours as much as others. I'll have a list in the DISCLAIMER of whoever's OC's I am using in that Chapter.

And thanks everyone who liked Gale Flint! Haha, I've got some requests to use him again, so I just might ;-)

Also sorry if you don't like this chapter. I hope you don't mind the 'Nasty burger' too much.

More information at the bottom about OC submission!

I'm going to stop talking… ah typing?... now and get on with this chapter, so…

I DO NOT own Danny Phantom, Butch Hartman does

I DO NOT own Emilia Pedrosa, xXRandomnessXx does

I DO own Grace Takniss though (and Jess if you can count her)

Chapter 3- Prey

Valerie Grey watched along with the rest of the staff and customers, as Danny walked into the nasty burger with Sam, Tucker and two other girls.

Gulping, she observed silently as they strolled over to their usual cubicle in the corner. This was the first time Danny and his friends had come to Nasty Burger since the Diasteroid incident and as soon as they'd taken their seats behind the counter turned chaotic.

"Can I serve them?" Wailed one of the staff.

"No me!" Whined another.

"But I'm his biggest fan!" Cried a third. Valerie looked over at the cubicle. The one of the girls she'd never seen before, but the other she recognized from school. Her name was Grant or something. Valerie screwed up her nose and shook her head.

"Grant? How stupid am I? What parent calls their daughter Grant?" Valerie's attention returned to the argument behind the counter between her colleagues.

No I'm his biggest Fan!"

"No I am! I bought all his merchandise!"

"I brushed his elbow once at school! He'll remember me and feel more comfortable!"

Valerie rolled her eyes and decided it was best to ignore what was occurring and began type random sums into a calculator.

"Miss Grey," called the manager at last. Valerie looked up to see him beckoning towards the cubicle. Valerie's heart stopped. She couldn't serve him, especially after all the time she had spent hunting him!

"Miss Grey," he repeated. "Let's not keep valued customers waiting." Finally Valeria scooped up her serving pad and a pen and began to advance towards the group, leaving the moans of the other staff members behind her.

Upon reaching the cubicle she decided to act as casual as she could.

"Hi and welcome to Nasty Burger, have you dec-"Danny cut her off.

"Valerie!" Valerie looked up at him, looking as though she would burst into tears and run away screaming any second. He was smiling.

"Haven't seen you in ages! Thanks for all the help with the Diasteroid though. I haven't had the chance to thank you." Valerie gaped at him. He didn't even care!

"Ah… it's okay?"

"Anyway, this is Grace Takniss and Emilia Pedrosa," Danny continued.

"Grace! That's it! Not Grant."

"Ermm… hi?" Valerie was very confused, she definitely wasn't expecting her reunion with her, well, prey, to go like this.

"Hi Valerie," replied Emilia as Grace flashed her a smile.

"So what's been up with you Valerie?" Danny asked. "I'm surprised your still working here, I heard your dad got paid a lot for helping out with the Diasteroid."

"Well, he did but… I got, well, really bored having no work to do…." Valerie tried as hard as she could to steer clear of mentioning her 'red huntress' face. "So I came back here, to do work… because I'm used to working here all the time and… yeah." Valerie looked at the faces of Sam, Tucker, Grace and Emilia and saw that she had just extremely confused them. Mentally slapping herself and the way she just explained why she was still working at Nasty Burger, she tried to change the subject.

"So are you all ready to order?"

"Oh yeah, sure," Tucker replied. He looked down at his menu with the rest of the group.

"I'll get a salad wrap," said Sam, as Valerie scribbled on her pad.

"I'll have a chocolate milkshake," ordered Grace. "I'm not really hungry."

"Steak sandwich for me please," ordered Emilia.

"Good choose, make that two Steak Sandwiches," Tucker added.

"And I'll just have a Cheeseburger," said Danny, placing his menu back in the center of the table. Valerie scribbled down the last meal and walked off for the counter, which upon reaching she was bombarded by other staff trying to find out which of the meals Danny had ordered.

"She seemed nervous," Tucker said, once Valerie was out of ear shot.

"I'm not surprised," replied Danny, referring to the fact she's the 'red huntress'. Sam tucked her head up against Danny's neck and he wrapped his arm over her shoulder.

Grace leaned out of the booth and looked over at the counter where the staff were going crazy.

"I have a feeling our meals may take a while," she stated simply, slipping back into the booth.

"Well while we have the time, I've been wondering about your powers," said Danny, referring to the girls.

"Well, I have all the basic powers like intangibility, invisibility, force fields, so on so forth, except I can't duplicate very well. I can also shoot hot or cold water from my hands and I can shape shift into small animals like cats, bunnies, birds, mice, stuff like that," Emilia explained. Danny nodded.

"Cool."

"Well I have all the basics, plus I'm telekinetic. I can also sense any ghosts that are around," explained Grace.

"So a ghost sense like Danny's?" Asked Sam.

"Sort of, but mine's a bit stronger because I can sense which ghost it is."

"Is that how you knew Ember, Technus and Skulker were there?" Grace nodded.

"Yes, because I've fought them before, but Youngblood on the other hand I've never seen so I didn't recognize the ecto-signiture," explained Grace. "And I can also do this." Grace reached across the table and touched Sam's shoulder and then sat back down in her seat.

Sam and Danny exchanged a puzzled glance.

"What?" Tucker asked.

Grace just smiled and then her body sort of rippled and she was replaced by Sam.

The Sam in Danny's arms jumped up out of her seat.

"What!"

The Sam across from her smiled and then touched Emilia's shoulder who was sitting next to her. Her skin rippled and then a second Emilia appeared.

"Epicness!" Exclaimed Tucker as the second Emilia became Grace again.

"What just happened?" Wailed Sam, siting back down in Danny's arm.

"I can shape shift Sam," Grace laughed. "But only people I have touched in my lifetime," she explained.

"That's pretty cool," complimented Danny.

"I guess that's what happens when it's Amorpho who turned me into a halfa," Grace laughed, just as Valerie began to make her way over to their table carrying Grace's milk shake and two plates with Sam and Danny's meals. Beside her was a second girl maybe and year younger then the group, carrying Tucker and Emilia's meals. The girl was smiling so much it looked as though she'd explode of pure joy.

"Here you go," Valerie said, setting the wrap down in front of Sam, the cheeseburger in front of Danny and the milkshake, Grace. The other girl reached over the table to set down Emilia and Tucker's meals, making it clear that she was so excited that she was shaking. Valerie reached to remove the menu's from the middle of the table when the girl burst out.

"Can I have your autograph?"

"Jess!" Scowled Valerie. 'Jess' hung her head and turned and walked away from the booth.

"Sorry about that," apologized Valerie, trying to act as casual as possible.

"It's okay," laughed Danny, then he had a thought. "Hey Valerie, what time do you finish your shift?"

"Ahhh… about 4," she replied. Danny looked up at the clock on the wall. It was about 15 minutes until then.

"Well we're on patrol at 5 if you want to come."

Valerie stood gaping as Emilia and Grace exchanged a look. They had no idea that Valerie was the red huntress.

"Re-really?" Valerie stuttered.

"Yeah why not?"

"But you seriously trust me?"

By now, Emilia and Grace were seriously confused.

"Of course I do. Especially since you helped me save Danielle and then let me go free." Valerie bit her lip.

"Yeah I did do that, didn't I…"

"Okay, sure." Valerie agreed. Danny smiled at her as she scurried back over to the counter with the menus and the group began to eat, and drink.

(15 minutes later)

Valerie draped her apron over the rack out the back of the shop and walked out to join the group in the front of the shop.

"So you ready to go?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Have you got your suit?" Valerie shook her head.

"Why?" Tucker asked.

"I haven't used it since the Diasteroid," she replied nervously.

"Well we better go and get it," Danny said, leading the group outside. Valerie only live around the corner from the Nasty Burger, so it didn't take them long to all get there. Opening the unlocked door, Valerie strolled inside her house as the other 5 waited outside.

"What do you mean by 'her suit'?" Grace asked finally.

"Valerie's the Red Huntress," Danny explained. Grace's eye's widened.

"Really?" Danny nodded. It wasn't very long until Valerie was back. She was out of her Nasty Burger uniform and in her normal orange outfit. She had a red back-pack strung over her shoulders as well.

"So you're the red huntress?" Grace said straight away, causing Valerie to blush.

"Yeah…"

"Cool!"

"Well patrol doesn't officially start for another 40 minutes, so what you guys want to do?" Danny asked. Nobody responded, just looked at each other hoping that they would say something.

After a minute of silence, Danny decided to speak.

"Okay then... Do you guys just want to sit around and talk for a abit?" Sam laughed.

"I guess we'll have to, there's not many other options."

"You guys wanna come in? Dad's home but he's down in his study and probably won't even notice us," asked Valerie.

"Sure," replied Danny as Valerie pushed the front door open. Walking into the house, they straight away entered a lounge room which was part of a kitchen. The walls were all ocean blue and the floor, wooden. Valerie lead the group over to the kitchen bench which had three seats on one side and then the kitchen on the other. Emilia, Sam and Danny sat down on the three chairs while Grace, Tucker and Valerie went and grabbed one each from the other room and set them down on the other side of the bench.

Valerie made herself busy getting orange juice and glasses for the group. Setting the jug on the table with the six glasses, she sat down on the spare seat beside Tucker.

"So how's school been Grace?" Valerie asked immediately. She figured by starting the conversation completely away from anything involving ghosts would be best.

"Great actually, except I can't stand Lancer as a teacher he-" Grace began to reply, but Danny cut her off.

"Wai-wai-wait. You go to Casper High?"

"Yeah, for almost a year now."

"Your kidding!"

"No. We had French together last year, but that was it. And it's not like you did French very long." Danny nodded, recalling the fact he couldn't stand learning French and started just skipping the classes. Well most of the time it wasn't on purpose, ghost attacks usually, but seening as the French teacher didn't even realize he was in the class at all, he managed to get out of it.

"But you knew she was at Casper?" Danny asked Valerie. Valerie nodded.

"Yeah, were in the same Science and Math's classes," Valerie explained. Danny looked at Emilia.

"What about you?" He asked.

"Yeah I go to Casper High too," Emilia replied. Danny mentally slapped himself, feeling that he was probably making his new friends feel like they were nothing.

"But not as long as Grace," Emilia added. "I only moved to Amity a week before the Diasteroid." Danny nodded. Well at least that's better than if she'd been at school with him since he started himself.

"So if you guys don't know each other from school, how come you're hanging out?" Valerie asked.

"Because Grace and Emilia are halfas too," Sam explained simply. Valerie's heart froze.

"You guys are halfas?"

"Yeah, I just said that," answered Sam for the girls. Valeria had nothing to say except,

"Really?"

"YES!" Yelled Sam as Grace, Emilia and Tucker tried not to laugh.

"Oh…" said Valerie simply, a million thoughts running through her mind. Danny looked up at the clock on the wall and tried to change the subject.

"Okay, patrol starts in 20 minutes. Let's head over to my place so we can get some weapons for Sam and Tucker," he suggested, pushing off the stool.

Sorry if you found this Chapter Boring….
