Something's Not Right Here - Danny Phantom

DANNY'S POV

As soon as Cari lowered her head and covered her ears she turned completely invisible.

My suspicions and fears had been confirmed Cari was half ghost. At least she would have someone guide her. She wouldn't be all alone like had been. But this also gave Vlad and Skulker a new prize to aim for. My next thought was to tell Sam and Tucker the news. They were just as worried about her as I was. Before Cari picked her head up I flew out the window and back towards my house where they were waiting to hear from me.

CARI'S POV

When I came back to reality Danny was gone and it was dark outside. I was beginning to feel better. I guess electric currents running through your body can really screw you up.

I walked downstairs and made a ham and lettuce sandwich. I hate cheese, unless it's like on nachos or something it just doesn't appeal to me at all.

I was surprised that my parents weren't at the house. It made me wonder what Danny had told them because, "Your daughter walked into a ghost portal and got zapped until she passed out and almost died" didn't seem like the right answer. Maybe he had told them I was hit in the head with a soccer ball or something. The idea made me laugh a little. My parents had never been the brightest crayons in the box.

I took my sandwich and my thoughts back upstairs, but as soon as I started eating I had to go back down to make another. I hadn't realized how hungry I was. I didn't even bother to take my empty dishes back downstairs. I just passed out ripped jeans on and everything.

The next morning my alarm clock woke me with its insanely obnoxious beeping. "Shut up" I mumbled my face shoved into one of my pillows. But of cores it continued to beep. "I said quiet" I said now a little more awake. This was a normal morning argument that I never won, only this time it ended a little differently. My alarm abruptly silenced.

That got me up. I looked at my alarm. Yep it was off. I guess I had just done one of those half asleep actions you can never quite remember. Either way I had to get ready for school I felt a lot better and was ready to go see Sam and Tucker again and let them know I was perfectly okay.

I was out of the house in time to see Danny, Sam, and Tucker walking about 50 feet in front of me. I jumped into a sprint and tackled Sam with a hug. Which of course she didn't appreciate, but I found it rather amusing.

"URGH Cari get off!" she grumbled while Tucker and Danny laughed.

"I see you feeling better" Tucker said after he had stopped laughing.

"Yep. I feel better than ever." I said happily as I draped my arms over his and Danny's shoulders. "I'm ready to face the day."

"Exactly how much coffee did you have this morning?" Sam asked as we started walking again.

"More than I needed and then I smothered my cereal in sugar." I answered happily.

"Well that's way too much for my comfort stay over there." she said with a small smile.

We laughed the whole way to Casper High and then all the way to our lockers. Of course we got some annoyed looks from people. And my day wouldn't have been complete without a death glare from Paulina but none of us really cared. We all avoided the subject of what had happened and the fact that I knew Danny's secret. I know he told them I had found out he's a pretty honest person beside the, ya know ghost situation.

"You should all come over to my house and see how much of a dork I am sometime." I said as I slammed my locker shut. I tended to make a game out of how loudly I could slam it. My record is having 3 teachers yell at me. Which in my opinion is pretty impressive.

"It is pretty geeky" Danny said in an amusing tone.

"Do you have a ton of electronics or something?!" Tucker asked excitedly.

"Uhhh no" I said as I leaned back on my locker, "It's more like posters and - WOAH!" It felt like I was falling backwards into the lockers. Which I very soon after realized that was exactly what was happening.

"Cari!" Sam yelled as she grabbed my hand and pulled me back up to my feet. When I looked back around the three of them were just staring at me. I suddenly felt really nervous.

"Uh Danny, did you do that?" I asked hopefully.

He shook his head. I looked at Sam and Tucker hoping they would give me an explanation on what had just happened, but they just looked at Danny and then looked back to me.

We stood there for less than three seconds but it felt like an eternity before Danny took him a large amount of air and said "Cari, you're half ghost."
