I flew down the street. Where was team phantom when you wanted to hang out with them? Although I should probably watch out for Sam, she's beginning to get suspicious of me but I still like her character. She's the one who inspired me to be my own person and not care about girly stuff and all that.

And being distracted, I ran into a tree. "Ow…" I rubbed my head, really stupid of me. Weird that I felt pain from that but I was still going to feel pain and need other regular human like things (other than breathing) until my first death day. Although by smashing into the tree, I managed to spot the trio across the street. "Hey guys!" I appeared in front of them upside down.

They jumped slightly but relaxed when they saw it was just me. "Where ya goin'?" I asked still upside down. "School" they said in unison dully. I floated in the air next to them on their way to school. "Can I check out your school? I've never seen a high school before" and here come the weird stares. Okay, time to change the subject, "hey what's that?" I pointed to a random sign I saw and turned invisible when they weren't looking.

"A circus is here?" wait what? I turned visible and looked at the sign I had pointed to and saw it indeed was a sign for a circus.

Cirque des ombres,

This circus is like no circus ever seen before!

There was the area where the circus was performing below the picture of the creepy ring master. There was something about that guy that looked familiar. "What do you guys think?" I asked the others who were talking between themselves.

"I've had a bad experience with a circus. I don't think I'm gonna see it" said Sam crossing her arms. "Circuses aren't my kind of thing" Tucker said quickly playing with his PDA. "I wouldn't mind going, it would be fun" Danny smiled and I smiled too. "Great cause I'm gonna go check out that place. I've never seen a circus before, so I'll see you guys there, well Danny at least" I flew above them but before going I heard my name being mentioned. I turned invisible and snuck close enough for my enhanced hearing to kick in but far enough so that Danny's ghost sense didn't go off.

"-you trust her? She's hiding something. I mean how could she have never seen a high school before?" that's all I could take. I flew away as fast as I could, where I was going I didn't care. It figures that I annoyed the friends I made here too. Same with my human life, I hated it! Why couldn't I just make some friends that wouldn't betray me in some weird twisted way?!

It's not fair. Why couldn't people just like me? I crashed into a forest and cried. I couldn't stand the emotional pain. No matter where I went, no matter what I did, I was destined to ruin every friendship I made. My afterlife was a total mess just like my human life. "Why so gloom child?" I stopped my crying and looked up. Oh no… of all the people to see me here why did it have to be him?

"Stay back" I forgot all my training for a moment and just backed away, a shadow beam ready to fire in my hand. "Looks like the little ghost girl has skill. How would you like to perform in my circus hmm?" I shot the beam at him, he dodged it. I shook away the sadness and took out my emergency weapon. Turning it into scythe mode I prepared to attack.

"No need for hostilities, I was just looking for some new talent for my show. You-" he looked me up and down "-would do nicely." "Why would you want me? I wouldn't attract a single person to your dumb circus. One minute in and they'd be out before you could even say hi" I pointed the blade to his neck and he raised both hands in surrender.

"Oh quite the contrary. With a new costume and an amazing performance the people would love you" he gave that freaky smile he always did and I just pushed my blade closer to his neck. "Oh yeah and what's in it for you? I'm pretty sure you don't want me to perform in your show just because I have a pretty face" I didn't think his smile could get any creepier.

"No nothing more than that, just a new performance in my show. Nothing in it for me except a bigger audience" the scythe touched his neck, one move and he would have no head. "If I know your kind of people, there's always more to that" his hand slipped down into his trench coat pocket. "I was going to let you join by your own free will, but they so rarely do. However this is the more efficient way of getting performers" he pulled out a pendant from his pocket and held it in front of me.

It was a single red crystal on a string and the crystal shone a bright red at me. I dropped my scythe as he held it in front of me. "Like it? When my staff broke, I collected all the crystals and made them into these. The power still works and is even more convenient for me" I fell to the ground struggling to remain conscience. "Welcome to the circus" he slipped the necklace around my neck and I saw a flash of red before everything became dark.

Flashes of images appeared but were lost very quickly. I saw me performing, stealing and getting Danny onboard with the circus. The next thing I knew I was back in the forest wearing a black and white leotard. "What happened?" I tried to remember but I came up with nothing, it was just plain nothing. "Freakshow controlled you and Danny. We managed to snap Danny out of it easier than you" I craned my neck to see Freakshow behind them complaining about how he just lost his star attraction.

"What did I do?" Tucker showed me the screen of his PDA. It showed me doing my shadow manipulation and combining it with light beam along with my scythe. I felt around and found my weapon next to me. "That explains the leotard" Danny tossed me my old clothes and I quickly put on my cloak. "What else did I do?" I turned invisible and changed clothes, Danny knew not to look so he turned around for a second.

"I think you're better off left in the dark about that one" I was about to protest when I turned visible but Danny put a hand on my shoulder and shook his head. "They wouldn't tell me about it either" he whispered into my ear and I could see Sam looking slightly peed off.

"Yeah I think so too" I threw my hood on and walked in the opposite direction to Danny's house.

"Where you going?" I shrugged, "going home, a girl's still gotta rest, ghost or not" I mock saluted them and left. Somehow I had a feeling that if I had stayed longer Sam would try to strangle me, even if I could just phase through her.
