"Finally! End of school!" I simply stated when the teacher dismissed us for the day. I trudged to my locker and pull out my bag and filled it with homework and stuff to get done… This wasn't a lot of stuff. I simply walked out of the school and back home; I was so caught up with my thoughts that I didn't notice Danny and his friends walk up behind me.

"Hey there! What are you up to Mel?"

:*:Danny Pov:*:

I just watched when tucker called out to Melody; I swore she jumped a meter into the air,

"WHA- Oh hi."

"Hey do you want hang out with us?" I ask not sure if she wanted to join us, especially if a ghost shows up.

"Yea sure, I wouldn't mind hanging out with you guys. So where do you want to go?" Now this made me happy

"Sweet! How about we go to the arcade?" Tucker suggested excided, don't blame him though. It's been a while since we went there, though Sam just sighed in disappointment.

"Sure!" Mel replied with a smile that made me and Tucker grin whilst Sam was shocked. We walked over to the Arcade and started playing; soon it was me and Tucker 'vs.' Sam and Mel. By the time we left the Arcade the scores were:

Me and Tucker: 4

Sam and Mel: 6

So we had to pay for the ice-cream that we got afterwards. Although after ice-cream Sam wanted to talk to me, "so Sam, what did you want to talk to me about?" I ask bluntly,

"There is something odd about her Danny,"

"Like what? She has only been here for a few days," I said with a hid of sarcasm in my voice.

"Yea but, when we were in the arcade she, was always on edge like she was ready to attack, like you when your ghost sense goes off."

"Actually, whenever Melody is around my ghost sense goes off but… today… I didn't happen at all…" I trailed off at the end, I was actually confused about it, well that was the case before my ghost sense went off, along with a scream and a laugh. I quickly change into my ghost form to see Melody shielding over Tucker from Skulker.

:*:Melody Pov:*:

When Sam pull Danny away, I was concerned that they figured who I was, but then why did they leave Tucker behind? I decided to start a conversation with Tucker "So, what was that all about?"

"I don't know… Maybe Sam is finally confessing her love~"

"Seriously? I know they are in denial but sill, Sam would have a date first before confessing her love to Danny." I stated in a blank tone.

"Hmm, so true…" Tucker said and nodded in agreement, we started to chat about the newest technology before my ghost sense when off. I quickly looked around, I guess Tucker noticed how 'on-edge' I was and asked me

"Hey Mel, is there something wrong?" I looked at him and shook my head and said that nothing was wrong but, as soon as I said those words, Skulker came flying in demanding to see the 'ghost boy'. Skulker went to the closes people, who were just so happens to be me and Tucker, and demanded to know where the ghost kid was. Of course I didn't know so I spoke up, "Ghost kid? Who is he?" I said in a sarcastic tone, not once showing fear in my voice.

"You whelp! You should fear me! Not making fun of me!" Skulker Raised fist in anger and instead of me taking the blow, Tucker jumped in front and took it for me…

"Tucker!" 'Crap I can't transform while Tucker here… But I can't leave him…' I did the next best thing and quickly stood in front of him, shielding him from Skulker before I started to growl and my eyes flickered orange while staring him down, like I was ready to strike any moment.

"Seriously Skulker? You're picking a fight with a girl? Dude that's low."

Me and Skulker where both surprised when we heard the voice although Skulker whipped around and moved a bit back revealing a boy with white hair, glowing green eyes, a black HASMAT suit with white collar, gloves and boots also he had a green glow indicating that he was a ghost. I quickly dropped my 'ghost eyes' and let them turn back into my normal brown eyes, 'That ghost… I feel like I've seen him before but… Where? Great a case of Deja vu, just what I wanted.' The Ghost kid's name was apparently Danny… Danny continued to taunt Skulker and attack him whilst I grab Tucker and hid somewhere safe, I quickly scanned over Tucker to see if he is really hurt but, looks like he would just form a big bruise, so it wasn't that bad.

A few ecto blasts later, and Sam appearing with the thermos sucking the mechanical ghost into it, I continued to hide with Tucker until,

"Ow. What happened?" Tucker started to sit up while I helped him, the ghost kid or Phantom soon left, Sam and Danny quickly ran over to us before Danny asked us if we were ok, I nodded while Tucker started to complain about his head. I really didn't want to stick around so I suggested that we should leave, Danny agreed with me and they decided to go Danny's house.

A few minutes later we arrived back 'home' I was just standing behind Danny and the others and simply continued to act like a ghost… I didn't really fit in with the group; they held secrets that I didn't know about. As soon we got to the door Danny opened it he called out to his parents and quickly ran upstairs with Tucker and Sam. I was about head up to my room when Maddie came to the lounge room and saw me,

"Oh hello Mel how was school?" I shrugged before saying it was ok,

"Well that's good; also something came in the mail today from a guy called Nero." I smiled at this; Vlad had sent me something, I told him if he ever had to/ if he wants to send me something he should call himself 'Nero'

"I put it up in your room if you wondering." I smiled before nodding and running up stairs to my room, as I walked passed Danny's room I saw his friends discussing something, although I didn't really care so I left to my room. As I got to my room I saw the box on my desk, I quickly opened it to find a note and a small white box. I opened the white box to find a black silver bracelet in the shape of a dragon with red ruby eyes, I gasped at this, 'Holy crap! This is cool!' I picked it up and put it on before I looked at the note,

'Dear little dragon,

I hope you that the Fentons have been treating you well, As I was look at the days I relised that your birthday was coming up and so this is an early birthday present. If trouble were ever to arise you can contact me though the bracelet, well then have a happy 14th birthday and sorry if I can't make it.

–Nero Dalv.' Or in other words Vlad Masters.
