-One Year Later Sarah's POV-

One more hour. Just one more hour and I can rest. I can't believe I've been out here a WHOLE year. So many things have changed since I got away from that horrible place. I wish I could be more like Danielle, she seemed to have this thing all figured out. Maybe running away wasn't such a good idea.

At least Danielle found a home and family. If only I had a chance to meet Danny Phantom one of the times he fought Vlad, he might have been able to help me...Wait a minute I'm part ghost too. Maybe, just maybe if I ask him nicely he would help me. He is a superhero after all.

-Danny's POV-

I sat watching as my two best friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley once again started a fight over the type of pizza we should order for movie night. I can't believe how much has changed in just a year. Sam, once my best friend, is now my girlfriend and Tucker, the high school tech geek, is now the mayor of amity park.

Sam is still as goth as ever, but now is more willing to open up to the rest of us. Her hair now hangs just below her shoulders with her signature ponytail on the top of her head with a dark purple streak on the right side, and her outfit changed too. She now wears dark blue jean shorts with rips and black leggings on underneath. Her shirt is the same, but she added a jean jacket over top and a black choker with a bat in the center that I got for her birthday.

Tucker exchanged the beret and yellow sweatshirt for a top hat, dress shirt, tie, and coat. After that he just wears jeans and tennis shoes like anyone else. He still loves his tech more than most people, but still managed to get Valerie as his girlfriend. I think they may have bonded when he helped her fix up her ghost hunting equipment or something, but they seem happy.

"For the last time Tucker we are NOT ordering the meaty meat lovers pizza!" Sam said, starting to get irritated.

"Come ON Sam. Not all of us eat grass you know, the body NEEDS MEAT!" Tucker argued right back. The only way Tucker seems to be able to face Sam's wrath head on is if he wants his meat. I don't even mind their arguing right now. Ever since I revealed my secret to the world my life has been a whirlwind. If it's not a ghost attack it's my parents constant questions about my ghost powers or the ghosts I've faced. Even if I do manage to avoid all of that there's the news reporters and fans who want interviews or autographs. It's these little moments with my two best friends that i appreciate the most. When I can just be me, not the hero everyone expects me to be.

"Danny would you pleeease tell YOUR friend that to get that meat he loves poor animals have to suffer!"

"Well Danny would you mind telling YOUR girlfriend that I am just helping complete the circle of life. I mean if a lion ate a zebra you wouldn't have anythig to complain about!"

"Uhh..." Luckily for me the doorbell chose that moment to ring. "Oh well, that must be Ellie. I'll get it and you guys can figure out the pizza ok? Ok." With that I took off up the stairs to get the door leaving them to their arguement. I can't believe my luck today: no ghost attacks, Mom and Dad busy with Jazz, AND staying out of an arguement between Sam and Tucker.

One other thing that has changed in the past few weeks is Danielle finally came to stay at Amity Park. She was pretty reluctent to stay with us at first, but with the shape she was in when I found her there was no way I would let her leave. She was severly underweight and covered from head to toe in big purple bruises, some are just now beginning to fade away. So far Ellie hasn't told me the reasons behind those bruises and I won't ask. She's now as much a member of the family as Sam or Tucker.

"Hey Danny," Danielle says, a big smile on her face. Her eyes, the exact shade of blue as mine, shined almost all of the time these days. Her hairstyle stayed the same although now it reaches her mid-back covered with a denim beanie. Her outfit now consists of a long sleeved shirt striped purple and black covered by a black t-shirt with the DP logo on the front, and skinny jeans with white tennis shoes to finish off the look. Even with the outfit change poor Ellie still has yet to grow an inch, and is the shortest in her class. Lately all of us have taken to calling her Ellie to keep the confusion down, though I try to keep the peace by calling her Dani whenever the others aren't around.

"Hey there you. You ready for a nice ghost free movie night?" I asked her, trying to stall going back to the arguement Sam and Tucker are more than likely still having.

"Ya, but are you gonna invite me in or do I have to watch from outside?" She asked me in an amused voice.

"Just buying time. Hopefully Sam and Tucker will be done fighting when we get back so all we have to do is kick back and relax."

"HA! You just don't want to be in the middle of a fight between your friend and your girlfriend."

"Sooo...What's your point?"

"Danny? What's taking so long? You left like 20 minutes ago." Sam said as she and Tucker came up behind me at the door.

"Ya man I'm ready to make some popcorn and watch the movie." Ellie's smile got even bigger as she opened her mouth to (more than likely) agree with Tucker, when I felt it. Ahh come on, not now! I could tell Danielle felt it to from the look in her eyes. It's time to fight. Sam and Tucker both just sighed when they saw the exchange between us.

"Please Danny, try to make it quick. We've been planning this for over a week now."

"I know Sam, don't worry with Ellie's help this shouldn't take anytime at all," hopefully.

With that said Dani and I both shouted, "I'm goin ghost!" We both had white rings circle us, spreading up and down our bodies changing us to ghost form, and as we flew off I could only groan as I heard the voice in the distance give off a VERY familiar battlecry. Did it have to be HIM?

"BEWARE, for I am the Box Ghost!"
