New Chapter! And after a long month of me desperately writing 3... 2000 word essays, in the span of 2 weeks. Include that with university work, sports and trying to create new chapters for you guys. All of this created a very tiring and hectic November.

Though I love Movember, gives me an excuse of making a weak moustache... and helps give awareness to cancer. (I'm a guy, btw)

Now with December I have finals, which are going to bog me down in the next week. That is why I put the effort of posting this just before to show that I still live.

A quick note about the chapter; it will be based on episode 3 of Danny Phantom, 'One of a Kind.' If you don't know that episode, look it up and try to notice the differences I make. (Toonsurfer is a good source for that)

Sorry for the mini rant, here's the chapter!

Chapter 12

The weekend passed and the new week of school began. Star sat in the cafeteria looking through her Biology textbook trying desperately to remember the phylum's for insects.

"Why does there have to be so many!" Star said in frustration under her breath. A big test for Biology was next period and she really wanted to get a good mark.

She still looked down at her textbook looking over some more testable material when she heard a chair scrap across the floor. She looked up and saw Danny looking tired and exhausted with dark bags underneath his eyes.

He sat down on the chair and simply sat his head on the table, his forehead letting off a soft bang when landing on the table.

"You Ok?" Star asked.

Danny just groaned in response, too tired to even talk.

"You ready for the biology test?" Star asked concerned.

Danny groaned again, not moving to show any indication of an answer.

"Is that a yes or a no...?" Star said with a small smirk

"I'm as ready as I could be; I spent way too much time studying last night." Danny said with his head on the table.

A few days later...

The tests were now being handed back to the Biology class. The teacher did an amazing job getting the tests marked, though the scantron portion of the test probably helped.

Star was handed her test. Written across the top was a 77/90. With the mark was the teacher's writing saying: 'Good work, keep up the good work.'

Star's heart lifted, the feeling of all the hard work studying now felt like it was finally worth it. She felt like bursting out of her chair and fist pumping the air, but she tried to keep her emotions in check.

'Maybe that saying, you could have a social life, good sleep or good grades, pick two because you can only have two, is true...' Star thought to herself.

At the moment this was a fact for Star. She was getting a good enough amounts of sleep and her grades were now rising with the absence of her royal social life. Though she still hung out with Danny, Sam and Tucker slowly getting to know them.

Star then looked over to her right and saw Danny looking down at his test in disbelief and shock. Star lifted her head over his shoulder to get a view of his test score.

Written across the top of Danny's test paper was a 47/90 with a comment from the teacher, 'Disappointing, try to study the material.'

"I got a D..." Danny said shocked, visibly crunching the paper.

Star looked over at Danny sadly.

'I manage to get 2 of the 3 fundamentals of teenage life while Danny barely gets one at all.' Star thought sadly.

The black haired teen looked exhausted, he was deemed one of the biggest losers in the school and now his grades were dropping, he couldn't catch a break anywhere.

"Hey Danny, it's going to be alright, I'm sure you'll do better on the next test." Star said trying cheer her friend up.

Danny sighed, slowly turning his head towards Star. "Yeah well once my parents find out about this..."

"Hey come on, I'm sure there's a way for you to improve." Star said hopefully.

"Yeah..."

"Come on, how about you come over to my house tomorrow and we could study?" Star asked hopeful.

Danny thought over it over for a second before he answered.

"That's a great idea...thanks Star." Danny said softly, giving off a smirk.

The next day

Star limped her way with Danny at her side, staying slow with her slow pace.

As she walked with Danny she noticed how tense and timid he was. It was like Danny was a cat with its back arched, ready to jump if anything moved. This was strange because yesterday Danny seemed pretty relaxed, minus the biology mark he had gotten. But it looked as though he'd put that behind him and was focused to improve for the future.

Danny looked into alleyways and searched up and around the buildings while trying to keep up small talk with Star.

'What is with him today?' Star thought puzzled.

She stepped up the front porch and opened the door letting Danny and herself inside of her home. As Danny stepped through, he looked as though he had visibly started to relax once he was inside the home.

"Do want anything to eat?" Star asked Danny.

Danny shook his head.

"Ok, so I'm going to get something to eat, why don't you set up somewhere in the living room, ok?" Star told Danny.

Danny nodded and walked into the living room with his bag, sitting down in one of the surrounding chairs.

Star limped towards the fridge, opening it and looking around for something to eat. She took out a soft bun with some chicken and veggies and started to make herself a sandwich. She also took out a large bowl and filled up with chips, just in case Danny got hungry while they studied.

Stepping through the doorway was Julian with his large muscular frame, looking at Star with a small smirk.

"You're making yourself a sandwich? You really make it too easy to tease you, you know that?" Julian said mockingly.

"Oh shut up butt head." Star retorted.

She then took the bowl of chips and started to limp with only one crutch to keep balance, deciding to make two trips for all the food.

"Please don't tell me all that food is for yourself." Julian commented.

"For your information, it's for me and my friend Danny. Were studying biology."

"Where is he now, your room to try and sneak a peek at your stuff?" Julian said dryly.

"No, in the living room. And he's not like that other guy Douglas." Star said defensively.

"Yeah because you're a real good judge of character." Julian said just as Star left the room.

Star just ignored and tried to focus more on balancing herself with the bowl clutched in her free hand.

Star hobbled into the living room expecting to find Danny waiting for her with his biology work; instead Star found the room empty of life, though Danny's stuff was still there.

'Where did he-' Star thought just as she heard a large boom outside.

Star jolted in panic from the sudden crashing noise, making all the chips in the bowl to fall to the ground.

"What was that?" Julian said rushing towards her.

"I-I don't know." Star said after taking a deep breath to calm her nerves.

Another boom followed by a high pitched screech with a grinding sound started again startling both Julian and Star.

The two of them rushed for the windows drawing the blinds back to see what was causing the noise.

"What do think that was?" Star said anxiously to Julian, trying not to sound as afraid as she was.

"I don't know Star, could've been a car down the-"

Just as Julian was about to finish, a car on the other side of the street had a silver blur suddenly impact into the roof of the car. The roof frame crunched inward on the car with a sickening boom, glass breaking everywhere on the street.

Star started to look around the street a bit more and noticed a dent marking in the wall house across the street and heard a faint but fast whizzing noise.

She looked out towards the now crunched car and saw the white haired that saved her from before starting to get up from the car, dazed but seemingly ok.

"No way" Julian said under his breath. "He's real? I mean I thought you were just trying to get attention."

"I wasn't lying Jules" Star said in annoyance.

The boy started to float a little bit it the air looking around the area for someone or something. Suddenly a flash of blinding light started came out from underneath the glowing teen blinding him as well as Star and Julian.

Just as the light went away for the two human teens, they saw a seven foot mechanical monster with a green flaming Mohawk standing on the street with a faint unearthly glow. Guns and machinery covered the machines arms as he stood over the white haired boy with glowing green blade extending out of its forearm.

Just as the monster was to put the finishing blow on the blinded teen he swipe his leg across in a swift kick into the monster's knees, making it fall into the ground, with a large thud. The white haired teen wasted no time as he shot up in the air wobbly and not very straight, showing that the flash bang was still having lingering effects on the teen.

The machine got up from the pavement and raised one of its arms and fired a glowing blue rope, wrapping itself around the floating teenager. With a hard tug of the rope, the white haired boy was thrown down into the street. This caused a large boom that shook the house and cracked the pavement. Both Star and Julian winced at the sound of the boy falling into the ground.

The boy looked up weakly at the tall mechanical ghost in a mixture of pain and helpless despair. He gritted his teeth as he tried to get up but it looked as though his back was in too much pain to bend in the slightest of angles.

The monster grabbed the boy by the chest holding him by the excess part of the spandex by the chest. He smiled at the hurt teen's face, evil and full of bloodlust as the machine's eyes glowed with a green that resembled death.

"Now you're coming back to the ghost zone, where you belong, ghost child!" The mechanical monster declared in the middle of the street.

"ghost..." Star said slowly, trying to comprehend it all.

'Could it be possible that the boy who'd saved me was a ghost? That would explain why he was glowing...but also doesn't explain how he was solid when he carried me.' Star thought, her brain thinking at full speed.

She looked over at the conflict again and saw that green flamed mechanical monster spring out some sort of plane wings out his back and with rev of an engine burst up in the air. It was like a jet pack from the future.

Just as they're both 20 feet in the air the glowing boy got out of the monster's grip and with a powerful punch to the wing, he made the ghost fly out of control. The machine figure span erratically, fast and furious into a wall across the street.

The glowing boy followed the machine with his remaining speed and strength struck his leg right into the monster's arm, causing it to break off in a hard crunch. The mechanical monster tried to blast the boy with its other arms blaster but the boy dodged it and made the machine's own arm hit the monster's chest, making the mechanical monster to blast its own chest.

The machine yelled in rage the gun blast destroyed a large part of the machine's chest. The boy followed his attack with a loud yell of rage, raising his fists and striking fast into the glowing mechanical head. The head instantly started to spark and move sporadically.

Exploding off into in a shower of sparks making the body go limp in the glowing teens grasp. The boy took the suit and threw it off into the distance, too far for Star to see where it had landed.

Once the headless machine was out of sight the boy sighed in relief and vanished in thin air.

Star and Julian both looked at each other, having no idea what to say after that display on the street. The battle was beyond the works anything man made, it was the paranormal side of the world being put on full display for the two teen siblings. Nothing could be except just to gawk.

"Did that really just happen?" Julian asked Star confused.

"Yeah..."

"But how were they both able to fly?" Julian asked confused.

"How should I know?" Star retorted.

"I just thought that since you'd seen him before that you might've known." Julian said guilty.

The two of them continued to stare out the window, trying to see anything else was going to happen on the street. More than a minute passed before Julian lost interest and got himself up from the window.

Star still sat by the window hoping desperately for another second or so to see the glowing boy who'd saved her from two different terrifying monsters. Seeing him for the fourth time was probably by far the most amazing. She finally found out that she may not just be crazy since Julian saw the boy too. Star finally found out how the boy could fly and glow. He was a ghost.

It made so much sense now. The reason he glowed, how he turned invisible, how he could faze through walls. He was proof of a paranormal world out there. Proof that maybe the world she was taught to know wasn't so normal and boring.

It was bliss and in some ways an escape from thinking of life being so dull and small.

"Hey, where did your friend go?"

That got Star up from the window, since Danny was nowhere to be seen. Ever since she went to get food she hadn't seen him, she'd noticed before but the glowing boy's fight had distracted her.

'Where could he be? (déjà vu much)' Star thought with mild frustration.

"I don't know..." Star told her brother.

Julian just shrugged his shoulders, walking back to the kitchen leisurely.

She started walking around the first floor as fast as she could trying to look for her missing friend.

'Not here...maybe he's upstairs.'

With some difficulty Star started to climb the steps, but sadly for her, this was a well accustomed difficulty. She made it up in a few seconds compared to the minutes when she first became crippled.

Just as she was to begin her search of the second level she heard a footsteps coming from down the hall. Appearing from around the corner was Danny, shaking his hands, his hair messier than ever.

"Where have you been?" Star asked the boy very quickly.

"Probably looking in your room at your stuff." Julian suddenly said from behind carrying a plate of food with him.

Julian then stepped around her and walked in front of Danny looking down at him trying to impose his height and strength on him. If Danny was scared of Dash, then he was probably terrified of Julian, considering he could make Dash run for the hills.

"N-No, I went to the washroom..." Danny said fidgeting.

"Then why didn't you go to the one downstairs?" Julian retorted.

"Stop it Jules, this is his first time here. He obviously didn't know that! Now buzz off!" Star said angry.

Julian turned to her looking angry and looking a little bit hurt. Then without a word he left down the hall to his room, closing the door with a snap with emphasis.

Danny sighed, his fists becoming unclenched his breathing get back to normal.

"I'm sorry if I-"

"Don't worry about it; Julian can just be a little overprotective of me." Star said dismissively. She grabbed her crutches and started to maneuver herself down the stairs.

Danny nodded and followed her down the steps. Neither said a word. Just as they made it to the final step, Star turned to him.

"Hey, did you see the fight going on outside? It was so cool!" Star asked excitedly.

Danny froze for a second on the steps before he got stepped down the final step, his face contorting in thought.

"No I didn't, what happened?" Danny asked.

"Well..."

And so began Star's story of the fight between she'd just witnessed. She tried to explain everything so simply to him, to make him understand how amazing the fight she'd witnessed was. But without sounding crazy or just impossible in what she described.

"What do you think that guy was?" Danny asked timidly and a little bit scared.

"It was a ghost" Star said confidently and with finality.

Danny's eyes widened at the statement, but it went unnoticed to Star since she was too happy to notice.

Well there goes Danny's studying...

Thank you to all my readers that have been following this story. Your patience and support is amazing! Thank you so much for everything.

(P.S: I couldn't resist with the sandwich gag. Maybe I'm just morbid like that...)

Until next time,
