**Amity*
"Good morning class," Mr. Lancer said looking over the classroom.
A frown formed on his face as he looked at Danny's empty chair. He then looked at Sam, "Is Mr. Fenton joining us today?"
Sam smiled an obviously fake grin, "Oh I'm sure he will be here."
As if on cue, Danny ran into the classroom, saying as he ran in, "Sorry Mr. Lancer."
"As you are everyday," Lancer said writing on the bored.
Danny blushed and took his seat. He was a mess, hair uncombed, clothes thrown on, and purple haft circles under his tired eyes.
Sam leaned over and whispered, "What happen?"
"It's all of the ghost! They just keep coming, I don't even know how many I fought last night. I didn't even change from yesterday, not even an hour of sleep last night," Danny said putting his head down on the desk.
"How are they getting out?" Sam asked.
"I'm guessing a natural portal opened some where around here, I don't know what else it could be," Danny answered.
**Fenton's*
"And with just a push of a button we can access the ghost zone," Jack said pushing the door open and close. As he did this one, by one a ghost flew the ought the portal.
**Clockwork's tower*
Serene continued to stack and organize the book and papers of the small assortment of books that the time mastered owned. They young girl was in her ghostly form, all bruises and markings were gone from her face. She wore her usual leaf made attire. Her gaze locked on reading the papers and books, the reading material was not much to her fancy, only history books and a few invention journals, along with few medieval time piece that Serene recognized from there childhood.
It had been nearly a month since she had regained her memory, and still had not told Clockwork, Serene decided it best to keep this secret. Adding to the list the already existed.
The creek of the floor boards caught Serene's attention. She flipped her vision to the sound, Clockwork stood in the doorway. The girl merly smiled and returned to her books.
"How many times have you read those?" Clockwork asked jokingly.
"Twice, today," Serene said coldly.
She had not told Clockwork of her memory, though she still distended herself from him. She was hurt, and it killed her that the only person in the world she trusted was that one who hurt her.
"I'm sorry I asked," Clockwork said a little confused.
Serene took a deep breath, "No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't snap at you like that. It's just, I've been cooped up for so long, I think I just need a little time out."
"Understandable, why not see if Ghost Writer needs any help, gives you a little broader of a reading selection." Clockwork joked.
"I found your other reading selections a while ago," Serene joked.
The time ghost blushed, "I do not know what you're talking about."
"I think it's sweet," Serene said throwing a red covered book at the time ghost.
The cover was written in gold, Romeo and Juliet. Clockwork blushed and set the book on the table.
"I keep this for, um, historical reasons," Clockwork lied.
"I bet," Serene said lifting her eyebrow and flying from the room.
Once gone, Clockwork looked at the red cover, he lifted the book in his hand and opened it to a page and smiled. Serene appeared in front of the time ghost startling him. " I bet in deed," Serene laughed leaving.
**Ghost Zone*
Serene floated through the green air of the ghost zone. The world seemed to be buzzing with life, Serene kept her hood up to prevent anyone from recognizing her.
Something was strange, all of the ghost seem to be flying into the same direction. The girl rose a eyebrow to this, "What on earth is going on?" Serene asked herself.
"Find out," Thorn said.
"Oh great you," Serene moaned.
"Yes me, I don't just go away you know," Thorn hissed.
"And how I wish you would," Serene said.
"Just follow them," Thorn said.
"Anything you say is never good, and I need to go to the library," serene said flying towards the library.
"Wouldn't you rather go on an adventure? Beats paperwork," Thor reasoned.
Serene thought of a moment, " She could always go to the library a little later, and an adventure sounded fun."
She sighed, "Time to get ride of some teenage anxiety." Serene began following the ghost.
In the distance she could make out many more ghost, they were in a huge line coming out of the Fenton's portal. The green cloaked girl flew up to the front of the line. A young girl, a few years older than Serene. She wore a red biker's outfit along with her short green hair and purple scarf. Serene recognize her as Kitty.
"What is going on here Kitty?" Serene asked.
"Hun?" The girl said looking at the green figure, "How do you know my name?" Kitty asked.
"I work for Clockwork," Serene lied.
"Oh, we're all just waiting to get out of the portal, the orange moron has been opening it all day." Kitty said, "Jonny will be right back you can go on ahead, I'm going to wait."
Serene looked at the closed silver door as it began to open, she missed the forest, the land, her friends, Danny. As the portal opened fully the girl flew through quickly. Serene rolled into the lab's floor. She stared at the family, like a deer in the head lights. They don't turn around as if they heard her. She jumped to her feet softly creating a small noise, the red headed girl turned around. Serene placed her hand to her mouth placing a finger over her lips. Jazz stood wide eye and jaw dropped, the girl screamed causing the family to turn around.
"Ghost!" They yelled at the same time.
Serene yelled slightly as she flew quickly through the ceiling and out of the home.
The cold rush air brushed against the girl's face, the warm light of the sun warmed every inch of the girl. Her peaceful flight was interrupted by a green ray. The girl flipped her vision to see a green and white RV close behind her.
"We have you now," Jack yelled from the RV.
"Don't you ever give up?" Serene asked.
"Not until we rip you apart molecule by molecule!" Jack yelled.
"Good luck," Serene said flying as fast as she could from the Fenton's. It wasn't long until she was clear across town, near the school. Serene looked behind her to be sure the Fenton's had not followed her. A thud turned her vision forward as she fell a few feet down. She looked up to see Danny Phantom rubbing his head.
"Watch it," he said.
"Great idea thorn," Serene snapped.
Danny looked at the green cloaked girl, " Who are you?" He asked in confusion, he didn't recognize her.
"Not important, I'm not here to cause trouble," Serene said flying away.
Danny caught up with her and said, "Oh yah, then why are you here?" Danny asked.
Serene stopped abruptly, "Look, I know what happens and honestly that doesn't need to happen again," Serene was cut off by.
"We have you now!" Jack yelled from the RV.
"Perfect," Serene said flying away as the RV chased after her.
Danny flew quickly behind them watching as the Fenton's fired at the girl.
She dropped suddenly, causing her to miss the first shot. The second shot, Serene twisted around, by the third shot the Fenton's realized this wasn't working. A disk like object formed on top the roof of the RV. Serene recognized the object and stopped, she quickly began flying towards them and Danny.
The boy stopped in midflight, he was confused as didn't really understand what was going on. For one, he had never seen that disk like thing his parents had, and two, and more obvious this ghost girl was flying straight at him. Hey eyes seemed locked on him as she flew, Danny was in a gaze almost, his mind was playing tricks on him.
He could heard the muffles of the girl, "Run!"
Danny still didn't move, a pain formed in his stomach as the girl hit him forcing them to the ground. Danny slid across the pulled up dirt and looked at the girl laying close to him.
He finally managed to speak, "What's your problem?"
His jaw was grabbed by the girl in a tight grip, Danny tried to pull away but the girl was too strong for him. The green ghost pulled something from her cloak pocket and placed it in Danny's ears. The boy looked quickly to each side for anyone to help him, or anything that could help him escape her. The green hooded girl bent down close to his ear, still holding him in place. She whispered softly, "I would keep those in if I were you."
The girl released Danny's jaws he instantly reached from his ears, Serene made a snapping noise with her fingers, Danny stopped. This ghost was very powerful, he didn't know whether he was a match for her or not, but he didn't want to take that chance.
"Who are you?" Danny asked.
The green hooded girl flew over to the boy grabbing his white collar, she pulled it down just enough to see the red markings forming. From the last time she had seen them a diamond formed at the ends of the strands, connecting two of them together. She stood back and released the collar and said softly, "If your parent's know anything about ghost mythology, don't show them that marking," she warned.
"How did you know about theses?" Danny asked in surprise.
Serene opened her mouth to answer when a sharp noise formed from behind her. She covered her ears and shrieked. She looked at Danny who seemed to be unaffected by the noise. Serene wrapped thick layers of green vines around her ears in attempt to cloud out the noise, it worked slightly, but not so much that is didn't hurt. The green hooded girl flew up into the air in full sight of the Fenton's. She looked down at Danny and then back at the hunters, Serene took off flying in the opposite direction, with the Fenton's close behind her.
Danny now alone pulled the headphones from his ears. He looked at the sleek metal and green lining, and then at the embryo on the side of each of them, "CW?" Danny asked himself.
**Fenton's home*
Danny walked into the front the Fenton work's home, throwing his backpack on the couch. Danny looked at his parents sitting in the kitchen, Madi was working on a new invention while Jack was eating fudge from the fridge. Danny wondered what ever happened to the green hooded girl, he wondered if his parent had gotten her, or if she got away.
"Hey sweaty," Madi said noticing Danny had entered.
"Hey mom, how was, today?" Danny said wondering about what happened.
"Well, today we found an actual ghost," Madi said in a peppy tone.
"Darn ghost nearly gave Jazz a heart attack," Jack said looking from the fridge.
"We chased her around the city using our new sound wave generator," Madi said.
"Your what?" Danny asked confused by the statement.
"It's a new invention we had been working on, it knocks out any ghost that hears it," Madi said.
"Really? What happened to her?" Danny gulped.
"I don't know, after a while she just seemed to disappear, even from radar. We figure she found a natural portal," Madi sighed.
"Oh," Danny sighed with relief.
"Well, I'm going to go do my homework, or something like that," Danny said walking up the stairs.
Danny walked into his room and a blue mist flew from his lips. He shut the door quickly and turned into his ghost form. Danny flew from his window and looked around the darkened city from any indication of ghost. A spec of moment caught his attention. He followed the small hint, his ghost since began going off even more than before. Danny looked around, he normal didn't come into this part of town, the buildings were old and falling apart, garbage filled the dead years of broken fences homes. There was no drought about it, Danny was on Red Road.
**Red Road*
Danny stop in the darken chill of the air. He looked at the girl in the green hood below, kneeled in a pile of ash from a home that had burnt down. She was sitting there, just talking, as if to a friend. The young girl wiped her eye with the sleeve of the green cloak and continued talking.
"I'm sorry I could protect you, I should have warned you, done anything something, but I didn't. Dam him, dam them all. How could this happen? Not to you, it's my fault. I treated you more as a parent, not a child. Now you're gone, you know how much I, …loved you and if there was anything I could do….. But there's not, there's nothing I could have done…." Serene said to the ash.
The green ghost screamed with anger throwing her hands into the ash. Danny wasn't sure of what to do, he only watched with a saddened pit in his stomach.
"Nothing I could have done…" Serene repeated this in a whisper.
A single red and silver flower formed below her masked face.
A rush of cold air blew the girl's hood from her face, along with some leaves from the tree tops. The leafs seemed to dance around the ashes in a circle, a smiled formed from the girl's lips as she began to move much like the leaves around the yard, humming a melody of notes while spinning. Serene looked at the white haired boy and stopped moving as the leafs brushed by him and the wind died down. The boy flew down to where the girl stood.
"Did, I mean, you," Danny said pointing down.
"If you're asking if I died in this fire then no, but someone I knew however," Serene said lowering her gaze and pulling her green hood over her golden locks once more.
"I'm sorry," Danny said rubbing his head.
"Aren't you going to try to shove me in that little thermos of yours?" Serene growled not looking up.
"You're not doing anything," Danny joked.
Serene looked up and stared into Danny's eyes, "Never stopped you before," Serene said.
"Serene?" Danny asked in confusion.
As they looked into each other's eyes a blue and green mist escaped from their lips. Serene hugged the boy tightly and whispered in his ear, "What took you so long?"
The two ghost sat in the wet grass with the sound of rushing water of the waterfall behind them. The forest was dark and the stars were brightly painted in the sky. Serene sat with her legs near her chest with Danny close to her side.
"So that's I wiped your memory," Serene said.
"How has this helped you get anywhere closer to moving on?" Danny asked.
"I don't know, all I've been doing is paperwork," Serene groaned.
"Does that really seem fair? It's not like you work for Simon right?" Danny asked.
"I don't but he's hopeless at paperwork, I told him to have Ghost Writer help, but he is convinced that he will alter history," Serene said annoyed.
"I mean he has to have a reason, he's the master of time, there's always a reason," Serene said burring her head in her knees.
"He's also your brother who couldn't protect you when he needed to," Danny said.
"He's proudly on a wide goose chance for me right now," Serene said through muffles.
"Why?" Danny asked.
"I'm supposed to be at the library," Serene laughed slightly.
"Very interesting definition of a library," Danny laughed.
"I prefer this to any old book," Serene blushed.
Danny returned the blush.
"I should be getting back," Serene groaned.
"Are you coming back?" Danny asked.
"I promise," Serene smiled.
"Then I promise to be waiting for you," Danny smiled.
"But one more thing before you go, what are these?" Danny asked pulling down his collar to revealing the markings.
"There a sign of your future, and if you are wise I wouldn't show people that, especially your parents. Heavens know what they think about me when they see the tattoos all over my ghostly body," Serene said standing.
"What exactly do yours mean any way?" Danny asked.
"Story for another time," Serene said floating into the air.
"But," Danny said.
"If you want to know," Serene's eyes narrowed, "Catch me."
The green girl flew quickly off, with Danny right behind her. The two flew quickly through the chill of the night air, Serene focused on her chaser, feeling his power, giving her an idea of where he was. Danny watched the green cloaked figure, memories still filling his head. Serene took a quick turn confusing Danny for a moment before the boy regain track. The two ghost flew quickly through he air watching as the sun came up on the horizon. Both laughing, smiling, pure bliss. For what seemed the longest time Serene felt happy again, true happiness. Serene did a small flip turning herself upside down as she flew directly below Danny, starring at his neon green eyes. Her heart pounded in her cheats reminding her that she was still alive, Danny smiled back down at the girl. Eyes locked, mist forming at lips, bliss of the morning air around them. Lips met in an airless kiss.
Serene pulled away and flew towards the Fenton home below.
