Happy (3 days late) 4th of July! XD I have no excuses so please just read this really short chapter. 6_6" Enjoy Chapter 3!

Danny was reading one of Clockwork's thousands of books in the library. He had been at Clockwork's tower for five days now, not including when he was unconscious the first two days, making a week. He still couldn't really believe it, ghosts were real!

…And he was half ghost.

He never thought of this ever happening, ever. After all who would?

He sighed and rubbed his charred hand gently. He remembered what Clockwork had told him that first day while they ate.

Danny sat at the table, shifting nervously as he watched Clockwork make sandwiches. "You…You never told me what happened to my arm."

"No I did not, we did get a little side tracked I believe. Didn't we?' Clockwork replies without turning around. 'Would you like the long or short explanation?"

"Uhh…short.' Danny says rubbing his neck with his un-charred hand. 'I have a feeling I won't understand the long."

Clockwork sent him an amused look over his shoulder before putting the finishing touches to their food and walking to the table and setting the two plates down. "When the lightning got attracted to the energy the portal was making and with it hitting at the moment you touched the portal; the mix of electricity and ectoplasm gave you a permanent 3rd degree burn."

Danny blinked in shock. "So…my arm will always be like this?"

Clockwork gave him a sorrowful look. "Yes. When the ectoplasm joined your DNA it gave you basically speed healing. It repaired most of the damaged skin but was not able to heal all of it. You can still use it, but it will be weaker then your other. With training when your powers come in, along with your added strength as a ghost, should make it two where it's weaker state with hardly be noticed."

Danny rubbed the hand, feeling the rough and crispy like texture. To get his mind off it he looked at Clockwork with interest. "Added strength? What do you mean?"

Clockwork's eyes showed pity and a bit of amusement at Danny's not so settle subject change. Still he went along with it, which Danny was grateful for. "Well all ghosts get it…"

After that they continued to talk for a while before Danny became tired. Danny sighed and decided he wanted to take a quick shower to relax him self.

He left the book on a small table next to the chair he had been on and walked back to his room. Once he reached it he grabbed some spare clothes Clockwork had gave him and moved to the room next to his. Don't ask him why there wasn't a door between the two Clockwork was just weird.

He put his new clothes on the counter before taking off his shirt. He looked up at the mirror and gasped.

"WHAT THE HECK?!" He shouts.

He looked down at his chest, or more specify the little white glowing, hairs on it.

Clockwork floated in calmly, lips twitching at Danny's bewildered look. "I see you have found one of the other side effects as well."

"Why is my chest hair glowing?!" Danny asks, not even notice he was shirtless in front of someone.

"Your ghost half it growing, remember?' Clockwork asks with a raised brow. 'It will go through adolescence with you. Your hair is going to be white as a ghost so your hair is turning white."

Danny suddenly blushed a bright red. "…All of it?"

Clockwork nodded making Danny blush even more, if that was possible.

Danny seemed to finally notice his shirtless state and quickly ushered Clockwork out, once the door had slammed shut behind him Clockwork let him self give a small quiet chuckle.

"If anything you with be amusing to have around, little Phantom." Clockwork says to him self as he floats back to the viewing room.

After Danny's shower he relaxed and red for bed. He had been reading most of the day, but it gets tiring after a few hours.

As he was drying his hair he noticed the white streak had gotten bigger, taking up most of the top of his head. He sighed; it was still weird to think he was slowly becoming a ghost, at least half of one.

After putting on his new clothes he went to his room and fell on the bed, sleep coming quickly.

SO SHORT! D'X Hope you liked! :) R&R plz! Ta.
