The Half-Ghost and the Half-Witch
Chapter 1: Ghosts in Greendale
Sabrina Spellman and her aunts, Hilda and Zelda, were at Greendale Airport watching Sabrina's Uncle Quigley board a plane for Ireland. "I'm going to miss him." Sabrina commented.
"I won't miss needing him as a legal guardian." Hilda Spellman said. As a centuries-old witch, she hated being trapped in a teenage body and having a mortal telling her how to behave.
"Hilda!" Zelda scolded her sister. While Zelda also hated the idea and wanted to go back to being an ugly witch, she was more polite about it.
"That's true and you know it, Zelda." Hilda replied and then noticed a man in an orange jumpsuit. "Oh no!"
"What happened, Aunt Hilda?" Sabrina asked. "You look like you've seen a ghost."
"Worse than that." Hilda replied, still scared. "I believe I saw John Fenton Nightingale."
Meanwhile, nearby, a family of four was waiting for their luggage after their flight from Amity Park. "Kids, aren't you excited?" The father, Jack Fenton, asked, not aware of how Danny and Jasmine Fenton felt.
"Not exactly, Dad." Danny replied.
"Why are we even here?" Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton asked.
"To investigate paranormal visions, of course." Jack replied.
"What happens if some ghost attacks Amity Park while we're here?" Danny asked.
"Danny, while your concern is admirable, I'm sure the Guys in White and the Red Huntress will take care of any ghosts that appear." Maddie reassured her son.
"If not, it will teach people to respect us." Jack said.
Back to the witches, they were leaving the airport. "Hilda, I don't know who you saw in there but it couldn't be John Fenton Nightingale." Zelda told her sister. "He was from the 17th century."
"Who is John Fenton Nightingale?" Sabrina asked.
"A witch hunter who lived a long time ago, Sabrina." Hilda replied. "To us he wasn't a threat like Tim the Witch Smeller but ghosts weren't so lucky."
"Perhaps you have seen a descendant of his, Aunt Hilda." Sabrina suggested.
"Not perhaps, Sabrina." A talking cat said as he approached the witches. "That man is a descendant of John Fenton Nightingale."
"We talk about it at home." Zelda declared and the four returned.
"Okay, Salem." Hilda said after the cat and the witches returned home. "How do you know that mortal is actually a descendant of John Fenton Nightingale instead of simply someone who looks like him?"
The cat, Salem, presented a magazine that had the Fentons on the cover. "That man is Jack Fenton, a ghost hunter who lives in Amity Park." He said. "His wife, Maddie Fenton, also hunts ghosts. They were in the magazine because their son, Danny, found out the albino gorilla at a zoo in their town is a female."
Sabrina was worried. "Do you think the Fentons came here to hunt us?" She asked.
"Not necessarily." Hilda replied. "While they and everyone else who lives in Amity Park knows that ghosts exist, there is no indication that they know or even suspect that witches exist."
"Still, it's better not to take any chances." Zelda said. "We don't know why the Fentons came to Greendale."
Meanwhile, the Fentons approached the house of one of Sabrina's former classmates. Jack knocked on the door and a man answered. "Can I help you?" he asked.
"Yes." Jack said. "We're looking for a Perry McDonald."
"What do you want with my son?" Mr. McDonald asked, understandably worried about strangers asking about his son.
"I'm Jack Fenton and Perry McDonald contacted me about some ghosts that have been seen in this town." Jack said, making Mr. McDonald pinch his nose in frustration.
"I'm sorry that my son involved you in his crazy things but every sane adult knows that ghosts don't exist." Mr. McDonald said.
"Yes there are, Dad." A boy said. "Are you Jack and Maddie Fenton? It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Perry McDonald, I presume." Maddie Fenton said.
"Yes, but my friends call me "Pi"." Pi replied.
"Perry, didn't you already cause enough trouble when you made people think an alien landed at the Spellman house?" His father asked and directed his attention back to the Fentons. "If you want to waste time looking for ghosts, that's your problem, but don't involve my son in this."
"Thank you for your time, Mr. McDonald." Jack said and the Fentons were gone.
"Can we go home now?" Danny asked.
"No, son." Jack replied with a smile. "Let's go to the place where the ghosts were seen."
Meanwhile, Sabrina was trying not to think about the Fentons when her cell phone rang. "Pi?" She asked.
"Sabrina, guess who just showed up here!" Pi happily exclaimed.
"The President?" Sabrina asked halfheartedly.
"Better than that!" Pi responded without noticing (or caring about) Sabrina's disinterest. "Jack Fenton!"
"What?" Sabrina was horrified that the ghost hunter who had become a source of concern for her family had contacted a friend of hers.
"I knew you would be impressed!" Pi commented, oblivious to the situation. "Remember my post about the ghost seen in the park? It's the reason the Fentons came to Greendale!" He was proud. "My father doesn't let me leave the house because of this, so could you go there and ask for an autograph from him and his wife for me?"
"S-sure, Pi." Sabrina hesitantly responded.
"Thank you, Sabrina. Bye." Pi said and ended the call.
"Sabrina, what happened?" Her Aunt Zelda asked.
"The Fentons came here because of a ghost Pi saw in the park." Sabrina answered.
"A ghost?" Aunt Hilda asked as she and her sister glared at Salem.
"How was I supposed to know my friend would be seen?" Salem asked.
"Well, asking for an autograph would be a good excuse to approach the Fentons." Aunt Zelda commented.
"Oh, great." Sabrina sarcastically said.
Later, the Fentons were in the park looking for ghosts. Or better said, Jack and Maddie Fenton were looking for ghosts while their children looked for excuses to leave them behind. "Not a ghost in sight." Jack declared. "For now."
"Maybe the ghost only appears at night." Danny suggested. "How about you guys come back here at night while Jazz and I relax in comfortable hotel beds?"
"Danny, I know that ghosts and other supernatural beings are usually associated with the night but they may have simply become invisible." Jack said and presented a device. "That's why I brought the Fenton Finder!"
'Uh-oh.' Danny and Jazz thought. "I'm going to find a bathroom." Danny quickly said and ran off.
"Ghost moving away." Fenton Finder said. "Turn around."
"It's the same direction Danny went!" Jack exclaimed in horror. "The ghost must be planning to attack him!"
"After him!" Maddie screamed.
"I'll help!" Jazz said and "accidentally" bumped into her parents. "Sorry."
Unbeknownst to Jazz, Danny actually needed a bathroom. "I shouldn't have drunk so much soda except it gave me an excuse." He commented to himself.
Sabrina Spellman and Salem Saberhagen were nearby looking for the Fentons. "Look, there's Danny Fenton!" Salem said.
Remembering the agreed act, Sabrina approached Danny. "Excuse me, are you Danny Fenton?" She asked, surprising Danny.
"How do you know my name?" Danny asked, surprised that a girl he'd never seen before knew.
"I'm Sabrina Spellman." Sabrina introduced herself. "My friend Pi told me that your family would be here and he asked me to get your parents' autographs."
This made Danny worried but he didn't show it. "I'll talk to them, Sabrina."
"While you're at it, could you autograph this magazine cover for me?" Sabrina asked, showing the infamous genius magazine cover.
"Ugh." Danny reluctantly responded as he autographed the cover.
"You can stand to get close enough to a gorilla to know if it's a male or a female but can't bear to see a post about it?" Sabrina asked with a giggle.
"I did not want to get that close to the gorilla, Sabrina." Danny explained. "I just wanted to earn extra credit, and despite my breakthrough, my grade only went up to a C."
"A C?" Sabrina asked in surprise. "I thought you were a genius."
"The magazine exaggerated that part." Danny grumbled.
"Danny!" They heard someone call. Looking around, they saw Jack, Maddie, and Jazz.
"Is this the bathroom, son?" Jack asked, embarrassing Danny.
"Dad, Mom, Jazz, this is Sabrina Spellman." Danny said. "She's Pi's friend and he asked her to get his autographs."
"With pleasure!" Jack happily said and then he and Maddie signed a piece of paper for Pi.
Jazz recognized the magazine Sabrina was holding. "Genius Magazine?" she asked, hating to see a reminder of her failed attempt to get people to see her mother as something other than a ghost-obsessed weirdo.
"Maddie, our son has a fan." Jack commented upon seeing the autograph Danny gave Sabrina. "Danny, get her out of here before the park ghost comes back." He then took Jazz and Maddie to another area of the park.
"I apologize for my father." Danny said.
"It's okay, Danny." Sabrina replied. "So, is there any particular place you want to see or do we say goodbye after leaving the park?"
"Do you know where I can find a good snack bar around here?" Danny asked.
"Meow." Salem said and jumped at Danny's feet.
"Whoa, kitty." Danny said.
"Sorry, Danny." Sabrina replied. "Sometimes Salem plays overprotective."
"Don't worry, Salem." He said to the cat. "I don't bite."
"Meow." Salem said, reminding himself that he should avoid speaking in the presence of mortals.
"Then I'll guide you to the snack bar." Sabrina said.
As Danny and Sabrina started walking, Salem jumped on her shoulder. "Sabrina, what do you think you're doing?" Salem whispered.
"Trying to find out what modern-day Fentons know about witches, Salem." Sabrina whispered back.
"What did you say, Sabrina?" Danny asked.
Sabrina thought quickly. "I was wondering: if ghosts exist, what about other supernatural beings?"
"As far as I know, only ghosts although some turn into dragons." Danny explained, feeling there would be no harm in saying so.
'Whether we know about witches or not, this boy seems to have lived as interesting a magical life as mine.' Sabrina thought.
When they arrived at Sabrina's chosen place, Danny ordered an ice cream and she, inspired by his decision, ordered one for herself. "Thanks for pointing me to this place, Sabrina." Danny said.
"Thank you." An employee said.
"Anyway, I have to call Pi to tell him I got the autographs he asked for." Sabrina said.
Danny nodded and continued to eat his ice cream. After they finished, someone one of them knew showed up. "Hi, Brina."
