Chapter 1 – Prologue

Phantom's POV

"So boss, how are you this fine evening?" I looked over to Cecelia who was sitting on top of my working desk with some papers in her hand. Cecelia was a kind woman I met three years ago who helped me to get this job I have now.

"Same as always Cecelia…. Same as always…" The work job I have now is very interesting and fun and I really don't see why a lot of people would get stressed from their work. I continued writing stuff about physics on a piece of paper in front of me while I started to have flashbacks on how I got here. I don't know why but I've been getting them a lot lately…

Flashback…

"Excuse me but is your name Phantom?" I turned around to see a woman with blonde hair, red eyes, and a slender body. It was weird to meet someone with red eyes but then again, you hardly meet anyone that has green eyes.

"Yes… who are you?" She was wearing blue clothing that I don't even recognize and she was holding a piece of paper in her hand.

"My name is Cecelia and I have a note right here telling me to meet someone named Phantom in this exact place and this exact time. I even have a description of you on this letter…" She handed a letter to me and I took it, wondering what she was talking about. The way she described the letter was exactly the way the letter was written. It had my name, hair color, and eye color, even the usual clothes I wear… but who wrote this and why?

"Do you happen to know who sent you this?" She pouted as she explained why she was here.

"Not at all but I thought you sent it to me in Houston, Texas." Houston, Texas? Who would send a letter all the way over there about me… and why would this girl even come this far just to see me?

"Nope… I didn't send any kind of letter like this…" I gave the letter back and she took it and shoved it into her pocket. She sighed sadly as she spoke once more.

"I can't believe this… was this letter a prank or something? This letter even said that you knew everything about Physics and Math…"

"Um, I do know everything about those two subjects…" The only reason why I knew everything about them is because of Clockwork. I had asked him a huge favor by asking him to send me back into the past because I had studied up on these subjects for almost a hundred years and I had no idea why I studied them in the first place… And now I'm currently in the past, the day I told Danny my confession and the day I had separated from him when we were hit by one of his parents' inventions. Luckily, his parents weren't around at the time… I had told him my feelings about him soon after but he didn't quite return them the way I was hoping he would. He said he was straight and that he didn't go that way and that he liked Sam. I was crushed and I felt like leaving but I couldn't leave without giving Danny a copy of my powers so he would be able to protect Amity Park while I was away. So later that night while he was asleep, I had kissed him, sending that blue wisp that would tell me whenever a ghost is nearby into him.

I was able to get twenty seconds in before Danny woke up and pushed me away violently, asking me why I had done that. His face showed anger but I knew I had to do it; it was for the best, well for him it was... I didn't answer him as I went invisible, left the house, and found myself next to the fountain in the park talking to this girl named Cecelia from Texas…

"Hello? Are you still there?" I shook my head to rid myself of the thoughts from the past and tried to focus on what was going on in front of me.

"Sorry… I was… somewhere else… So, what did you say?"

"It's okay, you don't have to be sorry. I get like that sometimes too… Anyway, I said I was hoping to meet a person like you. We could really use someone what all that knowledge down at NASA to help us with some stuff down there." My eyes widened at what she just said… was she asking me to work at NASA? The famous place where people are astronauts and they go off into space?

"Do you happen to work at NASA?" She nodded and I felt really anxious and excited all of a sudden.

"So let's see here… your full name is Danny Phantom. Age is 27…" 27? I'm the same age as Danny… even though I just lived a hundred years but Clockwork did bend time a bit for me. "Well, I'm not going to tell you the rest as I already know them already and I'm sure you know your own profile. You know, this is rare for people from NASA to go out searching for people but when I got this note about you, I was happy because you knew everything about Physics and Math and you're so young too! And I must say you're cute as well… you must really hit it off with the ladies…" I kind of forced myself to chuckle at her little joke since I don't go for girls…

"Yeah… I guess I do…"

"Anyway, would you like to come work for us?" Oh man… this is a chance in a lifetime that I'm not going to miss at all.

"Definitely!" She smiled at my response as she waved at me to follow her out of the park. I walked besides her as we went down the block from the park we were just in. Maybe today will get better now… The streets were dark and there were few cars passing by as we turned a corner.

"So Danny… when would you like to leave for your new job? I already read through your resume so you'll have no problems finding a position down at NASA." I didn't like being called Danny as it just reminded me of what I was about to leave behind and what I lost to Sam…

"Can you just call me Phantom? My first name kind of reminds me of someone else… And can we leave now?" She laughed at what I just said and I had no idea why she was laughing. I'm pretty sure I didn't say anything that was funny… at least to me nothing was humorous.

"Sure, I'll call you Phantom from now on and you want to leave now? Don't you want to say goodbye first to your friends or family and maybe get your stuff before we leave?" I didn't have any friends or family here at all… and I didn't own anything here… I just separated from Danny today just because of an accident…

"I don't have… family or friends… and I actually don't possess anything here…" She stopped suddenly and looked at me.

"You don't have any friends or family?" I nodded. "Oh… I'm so sorry to hear that… well sure, we can leave now if you want."

End Flashback…

"Phantom! Would you snap out of it already?" I heard Cecelia's voice call me from my flashbacks as I snapped back into reality.

"Huh, what?" These flashbacks are becoming annoying… and heart wrecking as most of only reminded me of what happened three years ago… Cecelia was now sitting on my desk right in front of me with a mad face on her. I wonder how I didn't see her do that…

"You've been going out of it a lot recently and it's a lot more than I usually do… can I ask why?" I was sitting in a dark room with only a lamp to give some light in this darkness. I felt another flashback coming as I closed my eyes…

Flashback…

"Congratulations Phantom! You got promoted in only one year! I'm so envious of you…" Cecelia was hugging me with an honorary plaque in my hand. I couldn't believe it… my intelligence is actually being used here… and I got promoted? Can this day get any better?

"Thanks Cecelia. I couldn't have done it without you…" Right now, we were both standing in the middle of the room with a lot of people clapping for us. I was so surprised when I found out that most people here liked me… but none of them could compare with Cecelia. I feel as if she was my sister of something…

"Aw shucks… don't say that… you'll make me blush…" We both laughed as the people around us got into a line to shake my hand. It was a custom here to shake the person who just got promoted and I know my hand will be so tired at the end since there's like… a million people here!

"I know I only met you just one year ago but… for some reason… I feel like you're my sister…" Cecelia looked so happy when she heard that as I continued shaking hands involuntarily.

"Really?" I nodded happily. "Then I guess I'll be your sister from now on!" She hugged me from behind as I heard some of the guys who saw this sight say something like, 'They should get married already…' Before I knew it, the two administrators who held the highest position were now in front of me. They were my bosses'… one girl and one guy. "I told you guys that Phantom wouldn't let us down…" I don't know if it was just me but it seemed as though that Cecelia and the two administrators had some sort of a relationship.

"We know Cecelia… you've been telling us that over and over for a year now. And he has showed us his ability with great integrity…" The male administrator named Robbie was smiling at the both of us and I didn't have a clue whether it was a good smile or a bad one.

"You somehow always find the best people for a position here at NASA and Robbie and I knew it would be a great idea to hire you as our secretary. You've shown some prowess of your own when you hired Phantom here… I was so surprised to meet a person of his age to know every single thing about Physics and Math…" Cecelia was their secretary? How come she never told me that? Cecelia began to rant on how thankful she was like she always does when she didn't know what to say. The female administrator named Briony stretched out her hand as I did the same. We both shook hands as I gave a small thank you.

"I hope to see some more improvements out of you in the future Phantom." Chuckled Robbie as left to mingle with the ladies in the nearby dance floor. I'm still surprised that NASA had their own party hall here… Robbie was a bit taller than me and every time you saw him, he was always wearing a suit… I wonder if he ever takes it off… He had burgundy hair, brown eyes, and a slim body, just like almost everyone else here. Hardly anyone is fat thanks to the training they receive here… it's so rigorous…

"You know Phantom," I looked back to Briony who was wearing black long pants and a black top. I guess she liked the color black… She had brown hair and green eyes that were very similar to mine and I can very well tell that almost every guy here has the hots for her… "When I first saw you, I thought you were going to have a tough time adjusting here but you fit in quite well and fast. And the first words I heard out of you was that, 'How was Physics and Math used here?'

"And you said it's used in everything. From building rocket ships to making the tiniest space pod." She smiled when I finished off her sentence.

"And it seems you have good memory as well. I like that in a guy. Well if you continue with what you're doing, I'm sure you'll be promoted in perhaps a year again. For now, let us all take a break and have some fun for today." She took off to enjoy the party of my promotion while I stared at the plaque that Cecelia had shoved into my hands. It looked really cool to me… but I still find it funny how I have this job in the first place and how people think I'm 28 now… but I still wonder who sent that note to Cecelia… My thoughts were quickly disappeared when Cecelia shook me a bit.

"Hey Phantom, wanna dance?" I gladly responded by placing down my plaque onto a nearby table, took her hand and led her to the dance floor.

End Flashback

"Phantom! Geez, you're really out of it today…" Cecelia sighed as she jumped off my desk and placed a piece of paper right in front of me. "We're having another tour tomorrow from an additional school and Robbie wants you to be the tour guide so can you please sign here?" She pointed at the line where an 'x' was marked right in front of it.

"Why can't he do it? Briony also wanted me to check ups on all the rockets, fuel pods, and all that other stuff." And again, I felt another flashback coming up…

Flashback…

"Phantom, Robbie and I have decided you should become an administrator and run some of the things here like we do. And I know it's against what the board wants but I'll have a nice talk with them later…" I was really shocked… me, becoming an administrator after working for just three years? That's amazing… "After all the hard work you've done in just three years, our tests and experiments of going into space have increased almost fifty fold! And that's something you should be proud of."

"Did I really do that much?" I was surprised myself that I could do so much in such little time. It was practically unbelievable…

"Of course! Do you really think I'm lying to you?"

"No, no, of course not. I'm just… shocked that I increased the progression of space travel." She handed me the brown envelope she was holding as I wondered what was inside of it.

"Since I know you're going to say to your new position, here's the certificate. You even get to have your own office so make sure you hang the certificate up there along with the other awards you earned while you were here." Wow, getting all of this at the same time is making my heart pound like crazy.

"Thank you…" She smiled as she took me into a hug, which surprised me. I felt really nervous being hugged by someone I hardly talked to but it was nice…

"You're welcome Phantom." She took her arms off me and smiled once more. Her smile always seemed to get me to smile as well… "Being an administrator won't be easy you know since you'll get into so many situations you wouldn't even think of being in but I'm sure you'll handle it just fine. Besides the certificate being inside that envelope, there's also a piece of paper that tells you what you can and can't do while you're an administrator and it also tells you your privileges…" Administrators had privileges? She patted me on my shoulder before she took off somewhere else.

"Oh my gosh! You're an admin of NASA now!" Cecelia popped out of nowhere and practically jumped on me, making me fall face down into the floor with Cecelia hugging me from behind tightly. "That means I'm your secretary now! How fun will this be?"

"Very fun…" My voice was muffled since I was on the floor but I phased through the ground and came right back up right where Cecelia took my position.

"Hey, you can't do that with your powers! You're so cheap sometimes…" I grinned as another flashback came into my flashback.

Flashback… Flashback…

"Cecelia… I have something very important to tell you…" Cecelia and I were sitting down in one of the lounges NASA had in each building.

"What is it?" I held the cup of ice, cold water firmly in my hands, as I looked right into her eyes.

"Well… I don't know how you're going to respond to this but I still hope you'll be my sister after I tell you this…" Cecelia immediately stood up and took a seat right next to me.

"Phantom, no matter what you tell me, I'll still be your ever, loyal sister!" She wrapped her arm around my shoulder as she began to stroke my back. "Now tell your sister what you want to say." I took in a deep breath before telling her what I had wanted to say to her for a long time now.

"I don't know how to say this but… I'm a ghost… and I have ghost powers…" I looked at her face, trying to figure out what she was thinking right now and judging from her countenance, she looked very amazed at what I just said.

"So you're saying you're a ghost?" I nodded. "And that you have ghost powers?" I nodded once more. I really hoped things would stay the same between us, as I didn't want to lose my sister and my best friend. Before I knew it, she squealed like a little girl. "That is so cool! Can you show me one of your powers?" I exhaled heavily knowing that she was taking it very well than what I had expected of her. I thought she would hate me but I received the opposite.

"Sure." I went invisible right before her eyes and she gave an 'ooohhh-ing' sound. Then I appeared and she clapped for some reason. Cecelia did have a weird personality but that's what I liked about her, she always had a way to surprise me.

"You went invisible didn't you?" I nodded. "I knew it since I still felt my arm on your shoulder when you disappeared." Huh… she's smart when she wants to be…

"Um, I have another confession to make as well." I said nervously…

"Another one?" She asked in a very shocked tone. She must not have been expecting more than one confession right now.

"Uh-huh and this one may be hard to believe for you…" Cecelia stared at me with such intensity in her eyes that I was getting even more unnerved. "Um, I'm going to say this short and sweet so… I'm don't go for girls…" She gasped loudly, which probably means she immediately got what I meant.

"You don't?" Her tone says that she's very confused and shocked at the same time. I nodded my head shakily. "Well that's hard to believe since I've never seen you hit on a guy before…"

"I know… but it's the truth and the reason why I don't go for anyone here at NASA is because… well this is hard for me to admit but I already have someone in my heart. But the thing is that he's… straight." I practically had to force myself to say that word as I felt my upper-left chest start to hurt a bit. She took me into a soft hug and patted me on my back.

"Then the guy you like must not know what he's missing…" I chuckled at her words as I sustained my talk.

"His name is Danny Fenton… he goes to Amity Park high school right now…" She took me out of her hug all of a sudden and had a confused look on her visage.

"Wait, high school? Aren't you like 30 years old right now?" I chuckled very nervously as I devised a way to tell her I wasn't actually 30 years old.

"Keep this a secret from everyone else but I'm actually the same age as Danny; 17." She gasped again as I was getting more anxious by her reactions.

"That means the guy you like is in Amity Park, the town were I first met you right?" I shook my head. "And that must mean you were 14 when I met you… wow, you're really young to know all of stuff you know… and now I can discern why you don't want to be called Danny. The name reminds you of him doesn't it?" I nodded as I wondered how she was so smart at this kind of stuff.

End Flashback Flashback

So basically, Cecelia knew everything about me. She knew about my ghost powers, my love for Danny that hasn't faded away, and what my true age is. One thing I have to be thankful about is that she can keep a secret really well from the other people here.

"You can't you use your powers! That's cheating…"

"Really? I don't recall using a power being called cheating…" I grinned as I avoided her every time she tried to jump on me. "I wonder how long you can keep this up…"

"As long as I want to!" Cecelia really acted like a kid sometimes… but she acted really mature at times as well.

End Flashback

"PHANTOM!" I soon felt a smack across my face, which really hurt.

"What was that for?" I rubbed the spot where she had slapped me and I could feel my cheek starting to go numb. When she slapped, you had better prepare yourself for a pain in your face…

"Do you know how many times I've been saying your name? And stop daydreaming already! You still have to sign the paper you know." I groaned as I picked up one of my pens that were lying on my desk and right before I signed my name, I just remembered something.

"Wait a second, you still didn't tell me why Robbie couldn't do it himself." She sighed as she began to repeat the words I didn't hear thanks to my flashbacks.

"I said that Robbie had to attend a meeting with the U.N. about their next plan in space. That's why he wanted you to do it." Robbie and his little meetings always had to intercourse with the plans Briony wanted me to do.

"Geez, they always put all the work on me don't they?" I signed my name onto the paper as Cecelia took it back and placed it into one of the envelopes she was holding. A sudden idea came to me that may help me with this current problem. "Can you come with me with the tour tomorrow?"

"What for?" She began to assemble the messy pile that was on my desk and organized them in a neat fashion.

"Well I was thinking that maybe you could help me with the tour while I could do the things Briony wanted me to do at the same time." I stood up from the chair and stretched my body out. Some of my muscles were aching by sitting in that chair for a long time…

"Sure. I was a tour guide for some of the tours before and they turned out great. The students were all engrossed at all the stuff we had here. They must all want to be astronauts…" I chuckled at how I knew why we were even doing tours in the first place.

"It's still hard to believe how we're doing tours just make money and a million dollars per person? Now that's expensive… I think only the rich people can join the tour or if they win the contests that NASA gives out sometimes." I started to walk back and forth in my office getting some feeling back in my legs.

"NASA does need some money to help pay for the things we need." By now, my desk was neatly organized once again.

"I somehow think that NASA already has more than enough money than they need…" I moved my head left to right, up to down. My neck feels sore…

"Then I guess they're just getting young people to get interested in this kind of thing. Aren't you supposed to know everything about NASA? You are an administrator you know…" Cecelia took a seat in my chair as I stretched out my fingers. Man, I hate working like this… makes every part of my body throb so much…

"Just because I'm an administrator doesn't mean I know everything that goes on around here." I took a seat on the couch that was placed in my office. I can't believe it was so expensive…

"You're supposed to…" She swung the chair around like a child and began to laugh at her own antics. A knock was soon heard from my door as I stood up and opened it to see Briony.

"Phantom and Cecelia, I was hoping to catch the both of you here." She entered the office quite perturbed and had shut the door behind her. "We have a small problem going right outside out gates."

"What's going on?" I asked, wanting to know why she was acting in such a way.

"There's a school bus right outside with a paper saying they came here for the tour that was scheduled for tomorrow but their paper says it was scheduled for tonight! I have no idea what we should do… I'm not good at thinking so suddenly you know… I need time to think things out but I know you two always had a way to solve things quickly." Cecelia and I looked at Briony who was currently in a state of panic but that wasn't needed.

"Cecelia and I will take care of this." I turned to Cecelia and gave a grin. "Shall we?" She stood up from the chair and gave a smile as she stood next to me.

"Let's go! And don't worry Briony, I'm sure Phantom and I will take care of this problem without any trouble at all." As soon as we left the office, I heard Briony mumble some words that said, 'I am so going to fire the person who messed up that timesheet…' Ouch, I feel bad for the guy who did that… "Phantom, can you use your power to get us to the gate quicker?" I chuckled every time she asked me to use my powers because she always had fun when I used it.

"Anything for my sis…" I grabbed her by the hand and phased us through the ground. We went through the soil of the earth as I sped up a bit to get to the entrance. The distance from the entry to my office is really big so I had to move at a fast pace if I wanted to get there quicker. About three minutes had passed since we've entered the earth so I decided to take a peek from the ground and saw that we were only a mile away from the gate now. I pulled Cecelia back onto the ground and saw that she had the time of her life.

"That was fun! Let's do it again!" I shook my head at the way she was acting right now.

"Maybe another time Cecelia… we do have a job to accomplish remember?" She smacked her forehead as we began to walk towards the front.

"Of course… how could I have forgotten so quickly?" We both laughed as she began to straighten up the clothes she was wearing. Of course I didn't have to straighten up anything since this was a jumpsuit… at least I think it was and thanks to Cecelia, she somehow made like ten of these for me so I would be able to alternate clothing even though they all looked alike.

"Don't blame yourself, I know how doing that can be fun sometimes…" I looked at my surroundings as I thought about whether or not to say something about this road to Briony and Robbie. It was very dark and there were hardly any lights around at all… someone could get into an accident here.

"So… what should we say to them?" I looked at my secretary at disbelief.

"How do you not know what to say to them? Of course we're going to let them in and let them stay the night at an unoccupied bunker here." Now it was her turn to look at me in disbelief.

"Can we do that?"

"Of course we can! I am an administrator here… and we'll just let them stay the night until the tour starts tomorrow." I always liked how I could always figure out problems easily. Just like figuring out how 3 – 2 5. It's so simple… yet so tricky for people who don't know to think outside the box. We had finally reached the gate and saw a long school bus with its engine on that waiting outside the gate with someone talking to the guard in the booth. "Open the gate!" The guard jumped in astonishment but he opened the gate as he was told. The person who was talking to the guard came over to us and he seemed oddly familiar.

"I am Mr. Lancer, one of the chaperones of this tour. I have a paper here saying that we were supposed to be here tonight." Mr. Lancer? Oh shit… that's not good at all! They must have come from Amity Park… But wait, how was he able to get a trip here with a school bus? Doesn't it cost a million dollars per head? There's no way they had enough money in their school budget to pay for that… Cecelia took the paper and began to read it as I tried to avoid eye contact from Mr. Lancer. I didn't want him to recognize me… I'm pretty sure that the ghost boy's fame in Amity Park is still going on…

"Oh would you look at this boss." I looked at where Cecelia was pointing to at the paper that read that they were supposed to be here at this time. Looks someone really did mess this up… Above that, I saw the reason on why they were here… they had won a contest somehow and they brought 25 students from the school. That's great! That means there's a chance that Danny and his friends weren't on that bus…

"Hmm… looks like the paper really does say that." I noticed that the students on the bus were half asleep now, probably from exhaustion. "Oh I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mr. Phantom, an administrator here at NASA."

"And I'm Ms. Burne, the secretary of all three administrators here."

"An administrator? I'm surprised that someone as high as your position here has the time to settle this issue out." Mr. Lancer's tone of voice hasn't changed one bit.

"Well, let's say that I do my work on time." I smirked as he kept staring at the both of us with a straight face.

"If only the students were as diligent…" And it looks like that nothing has changed in the high school of Amity Park. Things were still the same… Even though I didn't want to go back to Amity, I still wanted to know how things were going over there.

"If you don't mind Mr. Lancer, I'm going to tell you what we're going to do about this issue. Hold on, did you guys even eat dinner?"

"We spent the whole day getting here and we didn't stop for anything but gas…" Geez, then I'm guessing that everyone was tired, hungry, and needed to go to the bathroom really badly.

"All right then. Let's get on the bus and I'll direct you to one of the bunkers here." He nodded as Cecelia followed him onto the bus as I went behind Cecelia. Luckily, it was dark inside the bus when the door closed so none of the students could make out my face clearly. Mr. Lancer took a seat behind the bus driver as Cecelia did the same.

"What are you doing?" Cecelia gazed at me as if she wasn't doing anything wrong. I find it weird how she thinks like that sometimes…

"What? I get tired if I stand up for a long time." I looked at her incredulity at how she said that. She wasn't even standing for more than ten minutes… she over exaggerates every now and then. I looked at the road ahead of us before giving instructions to the driver.

"Okay, go down this road until I tell you otherwise and keep going straight. I don't want you getting off the boulevard here…" Yep, we definitely need some lights here. I turned around and saw that most people were wide-awake now as they saw the scenery from some of the buildings as we entered the vicinity of NASA. Some of them were launching some of the mini pods up into the space while others had sparks near the building which means that a rocket ship was being built. I felt a tap on my shoulder by the bus driver and turned to face him and I was shocked out of my senses to see whom it was. "Yeah? What is it?"

"We're at an intersection here… should I still keep going?"

"Uh-huh…" Dash is driving the school bus? Eh, he was probably forced to… I know he wouldn't this if he had the choice. His face had matured a bit but not a whole lot and he looked exactly the same as I remembered him. He was wearing a new jock jacket now…

"Aren't you a little young to be driving?" He chuckled a bit before I got my answer.

"Definitely not. I'm 18 and I can drive at any time I want…" Dash was 18? This early? Now that's surprising… Maybe he had to repeat a grade…

"Mr. Phantom," I turned around to Mr. Lancer who just called me. "Would you mind if I asked what you have in plan for us?"

"Not at all. First, like I said before, we'll be going to a bunker where you guys can change clothes and perhaps go to the bathroom. Then I'll have people come over to serve you guys dinner and you guys can go straight to sleep. Tomorrow morning, we can get started on the tour we have planned out."

"Looks like you know how to schedule your plans perfectly. Most people can't do that so I can say that I'm proud that you can do that, especially since you're an administrator here." He smiled at me, which kind of scared me. I didn't know if that was a good smile or not… I turned back to the front again and saw that we were soon coming up to the mess hall.

"Stop in front of that building when we get closer." Dash slowly pulled up to the mess hall as he opened the door, which unexpectedly made the lights in the bus turn on. I was thinking of asking Cecelia to go and ask her to do something but I'll do it myself… I don't want any of them knowing that the ghost boy was here on their bus. "Stay here and wait for me to come back." I got off the bus quickly before Dash had a chance to look at me in the light. I entered the front entrance swiftly and saw that people were still having their meals at this time. Usually, people would eat around six or seven but isn't eight right now? Maybe it's the late shift…

"Hey Phantom! How's it going?" I was greeted by almost everyone here in the mess hall. They always did since they knew I was a bureaucrat now and still their friend so they had no difficulty talking to me about their troubles.

"Everything's going great. Does anyone know where I can find the head cook?" A random person answered my question really quickly.

"He's in the kitchen." Obviously… there's where all the cooks were anyway. Now I feel dumb that I asked that question… I walked through the double doors into the kitchen and immediately felt the extreme heat in here.

"Holy shit it's hot in here…" Some of the cooks who heard me laughed as they cooked the food in front of them. "Can I ask who's the head cook in here?" One of them with a tall white hat took a step towards me.

"I'm the head cook of this kitchen. Do you need something Mr. Phantom?" Looks like everyone really did know me…

"I was hoping that some of the cooks here could bring some food over to bunker 1147. We have unexpected visitors here." He stared at me for quite a while before answering.

"Sure, there's no problem but the food will arrive there in one hour."

"As long as it gets there before ten, there will be no problem. Thank you!" I took my leave immediately as I wanted to get out of this heat. This was just too much to bear… I wonder how the cooks can handle that much heat and wearing those clothes at the same time… As soon as I left the mess hall, I felt the cold sweep over me once again and I found that the students were out of the bus, walking around. Now that's not good at all… Cecelia ran up to me from the other side of the road looking all happy.

"What's going on?" I asked nervously. Any one of these students can cause uproar if they saw and knew me.

"Well some of them asked to go to the lavatory so I told them they could go to the bathroom over there and practically all of them went." She pointed to the building opposite of the mess hall while laughing quietly a bit.. I still find it amazing how we even have buildings here made just for bathrooms… maybe it's because we have a lot of people who work here. I moved myself to a non-lit place so that no one would be able to see me visibly. "What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to not get noticed by the students here. They're from Amity Park, the city where I came from?" I asked her, trying to find out if she even remembered what I said about that town.

"Oh yeah… now I remember what you said about that place and the fame you earned while you were there."

"Yeah well the fame isn't mine anymore but if any of them recognizes me, they might think I'm the ghost boy." She understood what I meant when she pushed me back into the mess hall.

"Well stay in here and I'll call you when all the students are back on the bus." She gave thumbs up for a reason I do not know and she went back outside again. For some motive, she's always smart when problems were about me and I'm thankful for that as well. I took a seat at one of the empty tables and found the head cook approaching me. He was really sweaty when he stood across the table from me.

"Ah Mr. Phantom. I had forgotten to ask you what kind of food you wanted to be brought over there. Would you like something ordinary like pizza or something special like salad, pasta, etc?"

"Um…" I guess the students could use something really good right now after their long ride… "You can bring the special." He nodded as he went back into the kitchen. I laid my head on the table, waiting for Cecelia to call me as I was becoming bored by the second. But that all went away when I heard something going on a few tables away from me. I looked up to see what was happening and found one of the guys here being pushed around by a couple of other people.

"Why do you even work here?"

"You're so useless you can't do anything right…" Everyone's attention was soon diverted at what I was looking at as I stood up. They continued pushing the poor guy around until I stood next to them and shouted.

"What do you think you're doing?" The three guys who were pushing the guy in the middle immediately quivered in fear when they saw me and now everyone who was here in the mess hall was now looking in my direction.

"Mr. Phantom! We were just…"

"I didn't ask for you to speak now did I?" If there was one thing I couldn't stand, it was bullying. That was the thing I couldn't stand the most… picking on someone else just so they can laugh… pft, pathetic.

"No sir… but…"

"No buts! You three will listen to me and you had better listen well. The next time I catch you three doing something like this, you had better pack up because you'll be out of a job here at NASA. You got that?" The three men nodded understanding every word I said. "You're dismissed for the day." The three of them left the mess hall as I glared at them, even as they walked away. Once they left, I turned back to the man who was being pushed around a few seconds ago. "Are you all right?"

"Yeah… thanks…" I patted him on the back and reassured him.

"Don't worry, the three of them won't come back to bother you anymore. I'll make sure of that." He gave a small smile and that was all I needed to know that he was feeling better. "If you don't mind, I'll be off now." When I turned around, I noticed that everyone was still gaped at me. "Is there something you guys need?"

"Not at all administrator." Some of them wanted to call me administrator instead of calling me Mr. Phantom but I had no problem with that at all. The crowd soon dispersed as I made my way to the entrance to find out if it was time to go yet. Before I reached the door, Cecelia ran through and looked all around her. When she saw me, she ran rapidly over to where I was standing.

"Phantom! Mr. Lancer counted the students on the bus but three of them were missing. He gave me the names of the students that were missing and one of them was Danny Fenton! Would you believe that?" I felt as if my heart was about to come out of my mouth right now. Danny… was here? Then that must mean his friends were here as well.

"It's very hard to believe… well, in any case, we have to find them." Looks like I have to do my best to avoid the three of them at all costs. I saw that Cecelia's eyes were looking behind me and not at me.

"I think I found them…" Without asking any more questions, I already knew what she meant.

"They're behind me aren't they?" She nodded. "And they're looking at me right?" She nodded once more. "How far away are they?"

"A couple tables back…" I can't believe the three of them decided to wonder around while they were off the bus. I bet they already knew who I was… I just have to stick with my plan, try to avoid them and if you can't, pretend you don't know them. I'm sure that plan will work out just fine…

"Get them on the bus, I'll be waiting outside." When Cecelia walked passed me, I stepped outside of the building and into the shadows where there wasn't any light. It had to be my luck when Mr. Lancer saw me.

"Mr. Phantom. Did you find the three missing students?" He got off the bus and began to make his way towards me.

"Yeah, my secretary is getting them as we speak." Each step that he made towards me, made me more uncomfortable. Luckily, Cecelia came out with the three of them just before Mr. Lancer could have seen my face. My luck right now is really acting weird today…

"Ah, Danny Fenton, Tucker Foley, and Sam Manson. How nice of you to join us. When we get back to Amity Park, I'll remember to put you three in detention." The three of them began to say excuses as I couldn't believe how the three of them were here. I swear, someone up there doesn't like me… I heard Cecelia walk over to me until she was standing right next to me.

"So, do you still like Danny?" I didn't know how to answer this question. Danny was wearing his usual blue jeans, a white shirt with a red oval in the middle. He didn't even look like he changed one bit. In face, he looks just like the day I left him… except for the fact he grew a bit. I wasn't sure if I was still the same height as him now… "Well?" I felt adrenaline rush into me and my heart was pounding fast.

"Maybe…"

"You know, Danny looks almost like you except he has black hair, blue eyes, and the color of his skin is a bit more pale. Yours looks like you had a tan. And he's just as cute as you are. Too bad he likes that Goth girl… and you guys look like you have the same height." She looked back and forth between us as I moved over to Sam. She still wore the same black clothes she used to wear and she didn't change at all. And Tucker, well he looks like he has gadgetry all over him but he was also still wearing his usual clothes as well. I guess people don't change that much in three years…

"We didn't cause them any trouble Mr. Lancer. After all, they already knew where we were in the first place." And Sam still had that attitude of hers when you can easily tell she didn't like that person or what was happening.

"If they knew where you were, then how come Ms. Burne had to out and look for you? Well?" None of them spoke but I had the feeling that I should intervene in this.

"Don't be so harsh Mr. Lancer." All of them turned to look at me, even Danny did as well. "I knew where they were since I saw them enter the mess hall so there really wasn't any trouble at all. And I'm sure they won't do something like that again, right?"

"Uh, of course we won't. We won't do something like that ever again." Tucker and Sam had started to agree but I noticed that Danny wasn't saying anything. I guess he probably doesn't like me… I did hear a quote that said love hurts… This is probably what it meant.

"Fine, but only because Mr. Phantom here said so. Now get on the bus quickly." The three of them rushed into the bus and took their seat. "We can go now right?"

"Sure, I just have to speak with Ms. Burne first before we get on." Mr. Lancer also went into the bus as I looked at Cecelia.

"Is there something you want to say to me?"

"Nope, I only said that so he would go inside before I went in. I didn't want him to see me, especially now that three students now know that I'm here and my identity." She shooed at me with a gesture of her hand.

"Don't worry about it. They won't bother you if they don't want to speak to you right?" Where was she going with this? "You don't have to avoid them you know. I'm sure that they're going to try to do that themselves if they don't want to get noticed by you."

"Perhaps but I'm still going to do what I planned out." She shrugged as she entered the bus without saying any more words. I sighed before getting onto the bus myself… I just hope that nothing wrong will happen tonight and tomorrow during the tour.
