CARI'S POV

Once I was home my parents ran towards me. "Cari," my father yelled enthusiastically, "we need you to do some serious advertising tonight!" I leaned my crutches against the wall by the door. I didn't really need them unless I was walking a lot. Plus they annoyed me to no end.

"Your father and I came up with some amazing ideas for a whole new line of jumpsuits." My mother said as she escorted me to my room. "So we need you to go out wearing the suit your father and I designed especially for you. We want everyone to see it." Before I could even get a word in she shut my bedroom door and left me standing there completely disoriented.

As soon as I regained my sense of direction I turned to see a red, black, and silver jumpsuit laid out on my bed. I had to admit my parents had outdone themselves. This suit had silver gloves and an amazing black and scarlet flame pattern on the legs and arms. The boots were silver and had an extremely complicated design running up the sides them. I picked it up and was about to put it on when I heard a knock. I walked over to my door and opened it but no one was there. So of course when I heard the knock again I prepared myself for the beginning of a horror movie scene. I went rigid and stood completely still.

"Hey!" someone called, "Just let me in." Wait I knew that voice. It sounded like that Danny Fenton kid from school. I turned to see someone floating outside my window. Danny Phantom waved at me and smiled. I let out a little laugh and ran over towards the window to open it for him. He then clambered through onto my bedroom floor.

"What are you doing here?" I asked a little confused.

"I...err... don't really know." Danny said awkwardly. He looked at me with the same worried/sorry expression Danny Fenton did. I guess they have two things in common.

"Well that explains everything" I answered sarcastically.

"I guess I just feel bad about the other day" he said sadly.

"What is there to feel bad about? You're the reason I'm okay. Without you I could've been in way worse shape."

"I know that but...well, I just feel responsible. You could've been seriously injured."

I sat down on my bed and faced him, "Well I'm fine all I have is a fractured ankle. Which will be fine in a few weeks."

"Speaking of that," he said taking a quick look around the room, "where are your crutches?"

"They're downstairs I don't really need them with this boot on. How did you know I had crutches anyway?"

"I-I just assumed" he stuttered. I gave him a 'sure you did' look. He sighed, "I've seen you a few times and you've had them every time."

"Well someone's a creeper!" I laughed.

"Hey!" he said getting defensive. Then he began to laugh.

It was then that I had a brilliant idea "Hey Danny my parents wanted me to do some advertising, and I think by having the infamous 'Ghost Boy' helping me the word would spread. Well, it would spread as far as anyone who is crazy enough to buy these."

"I think that is a great idea." Danny said his face lighting up. I guess he was happy he had a way to help fix whatever he was sorry for.

"The only problem is," I said thinking hard, "how can I wear my jumpsuit and this stupid boot at the same time?"

"Your right." Danny said, "Maybe you could take it off and use your crutches?"

"You don't know much about injuries do you?" I laughed.

"Well with being a ghost and all" he said while scratching the back of his head. "How about you don't wear it and we can just do some sign spinning."

"You know, that is actually a really good idea. Let's do it." His face brightened even more.

"Let's go then." Danny said as he fazed through the wall. I made my way down the stairs grabbed two signs that said 'Silver's jumpsuits are the only jumpsuits for you!' and my crutches.

Danny was waiting for me outside. He laughed when he saw the signs. "I know my parents are no good with advertisement. Now you know why they send me. Oh, can you carry them until we find a place to show off our spinning skills."

"Sure." he answered grabbing them from under my arm. I replaced them with my crutches and we headed off.

We ended up in the park next to a bench where only a few people could see us. Which was a lot better. I really didn't want a lot of people to see me. It turned out that Danny is actually pretty good at sign spinning. As for me I'm not so good. The first time I dropped it Danny laughed at me, so I threw it at his head. He didn't laugh after that.

Everything went swimmingly until Sam and Tucker showed up. "Danny!" Sam yelled she seemed surprised but slightly annoyed. I guess she didn't see me. "We thought you went home. Why are you out here?"

"Was there a ghost or something?" Tucker asked. They both began to walk towards us but stopped when they saw me.

"What are you doing with her?" Sam asked.

I frowned at her. She returned it with a glare. "Uh Sam, Tucker can I talk to you, alone." Danny said. They gave him a weird look but nodded and followed him to where I couldn't hear them.

I continued my crappy sign flipping and tried not to think about those three. But of course it was hard to avoid. I had a sure feeling that they were talking about me.

I wondered how Tucker and Sam seemed to know a lot about Danny. I know Danny had mentioned having a home, but Sam made it sound like he was supposed to be in his bedroom studying, and I honestly did not think that was possible.

I was so zoned out that I didn't notice anyone around me. That was until I heard Paulina's voice. I saw Dash, Kwan, Star, and Paulina watching me. I was completely embarrassed.

Paulina came closer she was smirking, and that was never a good sign with her. "Hey Cari, you having fun there." she said in a mocking tone.

I could hear Star talking in a loud whisper, "Wow I can't believe she has to have a job, and spinning signs so lame."

My heart began to sink, no this couldn't be happening. They were all laughing at me. Paulina took my sign and threw it over Dash, "Look at this." she laughed. They just about lost their heads laughing so hard. I felt tears coming to my eyes.

Dash then threw it back at me. It hit me so hard in the stomach I almost fell over. "See ya looser!" they all said as they walked away laughing.

I sank to the ground on my knees. I was seriously on the verge of crying. What was I going to do now? I had made everyone hate me and now I would be the laughing stock of the school. I had really screwed up, and I didn't know how to fix it.
