Christmas finally came, there was a Christmas truce party later in the ghost zone but right now I would rather pay attention to the matter at hand. Snow ball fight. I was in Amity again currently in the middle of an intense snowball fight between me, Danny, Sam, Tucker and Jazz. The plan for today was for me and the gang to spend time together until the party at 7. At the same time I managed to see what their auras were and they were pretty interesting.
I threw the snowball at Jazz and dodged three from Danny. I and Danny had the upper hand because of our powers so we were the ones mostly winning. Tucker surrendered after Sam snuck up behind him and stuck snow down his pants. "Kids hot chocolate!" shouted a voice from behind. I stop mid snowball and everyone turned to face Maddie. "Race ya" I said suddenly flying off towards the house, doing loop-de-loops in the air. "Hey!" I laughed and Danny transformed and chased after me. We were now neck-in-neck, almost at his house, when we both got hit with snowballs from behind.
Danny got one straight to the head and crashed into a snow pile. I got hit in the head soon after and landed on top of Danny. "Sorry dude" I brushed off the snow as I got up, Danny doing the same. Sam was laughing as she ran past us going into the house followed by Jazz and Tucker. We looked at them then at each other before looking at the house and rushing in. The rest were already in the kitchen sipping hot chocolate and we joined them.
Danny transformed human again as he grabbed a cup and kissed Sam lightly on the lips. I sat cross-legged in mid-air while watching everyone drink hot chocolate. Everyone was having their own conversations making me feel like I'm intruding. I decided to try and see Maddie and Jack's aura. I took out my notebook and concentrated.
I took a quick glance and quickly wrote it down and stopped seeing their auras. Most people think that you would have only one aura but actually everyone has more than one because they have their different personalities and obsessions. My notebook held all the auras I had experienced so far and their meanings.

Sam: green, earth, yellow

Jazz: dark yellow, blue, orange-yellow
Ember: orange-red, yellow

Meanings:
Gold: protection, wisdom, inner knowledge, divine guidance, spiritual mind, intuitive thinker

Orange-red: confidence, creative, power
Green: growth, balance, love of people, animals, nature, teacher, social
Earth: a love of the earth
Yellow: awakening, inspiration, intelligence, creative, playful, optimistic, easy-going
Orange-yellow: creative, intelligent, detail oriented, perfectionist, scientific
Metallic silver: receptive to new ideas, intuitive, nurturing
Dark yellow: someone who stains at studying and tries to learn everything at once

Amazing how they can describe a person really well. I close my notebook to see everyone staring at me weirdly. "What?" I asked holding my book close to my chest. "You kind of zoned out there. What were you doing?" questioned Danny. I showed them the page I wrote my aura notes on.
"I was writing notes on the auras that you guys have. I write them down so that I wouldn't forget what they were" I explained as they looked wide eyed at their respective different auras. "Inner knowledge?" I was a little uncomfortable at their amazed expressions.
I shut my book close and stood up. "I better get going. I'll see you at the party later" I phased down into the lab and went into the ghost portal. Once I was in the Far Frozen I went straight into my room. The whole place was practically empty since everyone was getting ready for the party. Ember said that she was going to show me the way to the party later so I had a little time to do whatever I wanted.
I put my notebook into the shelf and took out my diary. Frostbite suggested it when I started to feel a little upset, sort of came back from when I was human. I suffered slight depression.
Dear diary,
Well, it's Christmas, there's a party on later. I hope it turns out well. I never do well at parties, even with people I know. It's been a while since my death. I'm beginning to forget some things from back home. Well not everything, just a few memories. But what I wish I could forget was school. I don't hate school; it's just that I hated my friends. I rather not say why, too many bad memories, but I'll just say that I have terrible taste in friends. I still can't believe that I'm in a cartoon show, Danny is cuter in person, and I still haven't figured out why. Frostbite said not to worry and just focus on training. I better stop writing now before I get too emotional and destroy everything.
And with that I closed my diary and hid it again. Guessing that I still had time to kill, I flew to the training room. I used training as an outlet to get rid of my emotions. I did some basic things beams, shadow manipulation, a few martial arts moves that Frostbite taught me. Taking out my weapon, I spun it making it turn into a Bo staff and I turned it into a scythe. I swung the blade around to get the rhythm of it before combining it with actual attacks.
"Hey Spirit!" reacting quickly I pointed the shadow blade right at the neck of the person. It was Ember and she had her hands up in surrender as I relaxed and turned the scythe back into its original state. "It's just you" Ember laughed a little as I kept my weapon.
"Yeah, it's just me baby pop. Now can we get to the party? The fans are waiting" I laughed at the last sentence and nodded. The venue was actually pretty close by. Once there, Ember went straight for Skulker and dumped a Christmas hat on him while putting on her head as well. All the ghosts were here, except Clockwork cause he has his job to do, and I managed to spot Danny by the punch bowl talking to Kitty and Johnny.
Having no one to talk to, since Ember is busy setting up the stage and stuff, I stood there awkwardly. Danny spotted me and gestured for me to go over. I obliged and went over to him. "Hi Danny" he replied with a quick 'hi' and introduced me to Kitty and Johnny. Although I already knew them, I had to pretend I've never seen them before in my life.
"Where's Sam and Tucker? I thought they were gonna come?" at that moment Danny just pointed to the door, which was now open, and the Specter speeder was parked in front, Sam and Tucker getting out. I waved to them and they waved back.
"Hey guys! It's time for some Christmas caroling!" Ember announced from the stage. Everyone cheered and she started to sing Jingle bells. I guess Christmas songs are universal no matter what dimension. Once she finished she jumped down and pulled me to the stage. Knowing that it would be useless to escape I went along with her. She handed me a microphone and the music started. I recognized it as the song 'All I want for Christmas is you' as Ember sang the first few lines. I sang along with her and our voices harmonized.
After the song, Ember high fived me and I jumped off stage almost immediately. Even though I was in my school choir and I had to perform on stage a lot, I still get nervous. "Nice job! You sounded actually experienced at singing. I think" I shrugged. "I was in my school choir back home so I do a lot of singing" I could tell that they were interested about what my home was like. I could see their curiosity in their eyes.
"Want to know more about my home?" they nodded and I began to explain some stuff. That was different there. "My home was ok. The government was always emphasizing about helping the environment. There was probably a ton of stuff that you guys would like. Like Sam, for example, there was a shop that sold nothing but soy products. And for Tucker, while with my parents I found a shop with nothing but meat. I'm not sure what there would be for you though Danny, you're pretty much neutral" Tucker was drooling at the idea at an all meat shop and Sam looked a little happy about the environment friendly government and a soy based shop.
"Of course there were some downsides. Like there was never snow. My mom always said that if it were to start snowing it would be the end of the world. All we ever had was sun and rain. In fact, today was the first time I actually ever seen snow" I should've said less because Sam actually started to look a little suspicious. "Where exactly did you live?" I tensed slightly.
Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer this. I couldn't say where I was originally from because it may not exist in the cartoon world. Thankfully Frostbite saw Danny and chose to talk to him causing the topic to be forgotten, at least for now. I mouthed Frostbite a 'thanks' and he winked at me.
I hope that I would be able to handle this conversation better in future.
