Chapter 18
CARI'S POV
I ran into the hall and made sure no one is around. After deeming the hall safe I shifted back into my human form. I tried my best to stop laughing and then walked back into the classroom. I already had a plan.
"Oh my gosh what happened in here!?" I said feigning surprise. Sam of course immediately caught on.
"Some person fell through the roof!" she yelled as I walked in and towards my desk.
"What do you mean where did they go?" I asked, feeling very proud of my acting skills.
"I don't know she ran into the hall and then you came in." Danny answered I guess he had caught on too. Tucker, on the other hand still look rather confused but, luckily, he kept his mouth shut.
"Well here's a question Ms. Silver, why were you in the hallway?" Mr. Lancer added glaring at me.
"Don't you remember?" I asked him skeptically, "I had asked you if I could use the bathroom."
He seemed to be thinking this over trying to remember, "Well I guess that makes sense. Okay everyone we have to start class now. I'll tell the janitor about the mess later." To my surprise everyone obeyed him and quieted down. So I headed to my seat behind Sam and endured a very boring class with a slight draft coming from the ceiling.

DANNY'S POV
I was surprised she had pretty much mastered flying so quickly, and her sarcasm was the best. My nerves about her being a halfa had defiantly decreased after that whole incident. She could definitely handle herself. So I guess that meant we could move on to the more difficult stuff. I wish I had had a ghost mentor everything would have been so much easier.
I guessed may she may even have different powers than me. I mean the ghost portal was on a different setting when she was turned, but then there was also the fact that she was most certainly going to be targeted by other ghosts. So I assumed her catching on so quickly would really pay off in the near future. I made a mental note to ask her when she wanted to practice next just before the bell rang signaling that class was over. The real fun was about to start, well after a few more periods.

CARI'S POV
After school Danny and I decided since I had mastered flying I should learn how to stop and possibly learn to use my ghost ray. Well that was if I had that power. To be honest I hoped my powers were a little cooler than that.
"Okay so stopping." Danny started as he clapped his hands together. Sam and Tucker were going to meet us later they both wanted to finish all the homework they had been putting off. Danny had said he hadn't planned on doing it anyway. "You have to kinda pretend the sky is the ground. Like, if you're running really fast and you slide to a stop, it's kind of like that."
"Umm I think I get it." I answered, this could either go really well or end up being a complete disaster depending on whether or not I crashed into the side/roof of my house and I still hadn't figured out a way to explain that to my parents.
"Well then let's see." Danny was smiling at me which was really encouraging. His smile was really contagious and kinda cute.
"Here I go!" I yelled shifting into my ghost form, my white and red hair flew in all directions and my amber eyes turned bright green. As soon I was sure I was fully ghost I pushed off of the ground trying a different tactic from this morning. As soon as I had a decent amount of momentum gathered I stuck out my feet and tried to push myself into a stop. It almost worked but at the last second I tripped (yes I tripped on the air I know) and flew head over heels towards the ground.
I wanted to try and faze through the ground, ya know try to make the best of the situation, but in the end I guess Danny had tried to catch me but I fazed through his arm and still managed hit the ground. "URGH man am I am idiot." I mumbled as I stood back up. Danny landed next to me trying not to laugh.
"Well it could've gone worse but you get the idea." He said from behind his hand since he still wanted to laugh but didn't want to make me feel bad.
"Go ahead and laugh I don't care soon enough I'll get it soon enough but I wanna learn how to shoot stuff out of my hands." I said as a pretended to shoots ghost days out if my hands.
"Well aren't you enthusiastic today." Danny said still in his ghost form. He knocked me in the shoulder with his elbow.
"Hey guys how it going?" Danny and I turned to see Sam and Tucker walking into the yard.
"Well enough that I'm not seriously injured." I said as I walked over to Sam and put an arm around her shoulder which she quickly shoved off.
"So I take it you've hit the ground." she said smirking.
"I technically didn't say that, but ya I did. So I gave that up and now I'm gonna learn how to shoot stuff out of my hands."
"Well I can see you're excited." Tucker said as he whipped out his PDA. "I wonder if your ghost powers will be any different from Danny's"
"Hey, Danny thought the same thing." I sorta yelled without meaning to.
"Then go start I wanna see how this turns out." Sam said as she headed over to one of our semi broken stereotypical white lawn chairs.
