"Oh no! I can't go to school like this! What do I do now?" She watched her reflection smirk, then wink at her. She froze. She gaped at a moving reflection. "W-why is my reflection m-m-moving when I'm not?" The reflection of herself laughed "I hope this happens to Danny too..." She was afraid that if she looked away from her reflection, that it would run off. Cassandra pulled her phone out of her back pocket, and texted Tucker. "You need to come over to my house right now! I have a serious problem!"

"On my way" was his reply.

When she looked back up at the computer screen, her reflection hadn't left. "Why do you move separately from me?" she asked the reflection. Her mouth moved, but no sound escaped her reflected lips. "I wonder if this happens to Danny."

After about ten minutes, the doorbell announced that someone was at her doorstep. She opened the door to greet Tucker. He was startled by her new look.

"What?" Cassandra said.

"Your eyes aren't the same color as Danny's. I thought they'd be the same.

"What color are Danny's eyes in his ghost form?"

"A neon blue," replied Tucker. "Can I come in?"

"OH-yeah." She moved to the side to let Tucker in, then shut the door behind him.

"So, why did you need me here ASAP?" He sat on the living room couch.

"Well..." She looked at the mirror on the living room wall that sat above the couch, and watcher her reflection wave at her. "I don't know how to change into my human form and... my reflection moves."

"Pff-what? Your reflection moves? Everyone's reflection moves!" He chuckled.

"Not like this." Cassandra pointed at her reflection.

His smirk evaporated, and he stood up to turn around and look at Cassandra's reflection. He looked at her, then at her reflection, and watched as they were not in sync. "What the heck? I've never seen anything like this!"

"You mean, this never happened to Danny?"

"No, dude! He's never had problems with his reflection!" He paused, then looked at Cassandra. "But I might know someone who can help us."

"Who?"

"You'll see. Get dressed, and get some breakfast. We're going to school. You have a car right?"

"Yeah, but I don't want anyone at school seeing me like this."

"Everyone's already in class, no one will see us."

Cassandra drove both of them to school, then Tucker snuck them through the back so that none of the staff from the school would see them. He led them to a locker that looked older than any other locker in the school. The locker was covered in dust, had stains on it, and the door was only held on by one hinge.

"Ew."

"So, there's a ghost in the mirror inside this locker, don't look at the mirror, or he can pull you into his world, and take over your body."

"Um... okay?" She was skeptical.

Tucker opened the locker, but wouldn't look inside it. "You there, Sidney?"

"What do you think?" said the mirror that Cassandra was tempted to look at.

"We need your help."

"With what?" the person in the locker suddenly seemed interested.

"My friend here is a halfa, and she's having problems with her reflection."

"Another halfa. Interesting." The mirror was quiet for a while. "What does she look like?"

What's a halfa? thought Cassandra.

"She's got white hair, and golden eyes, and-"

The mirror cut Tucker off. "no idiot! What does her human form look like!"

"I have brown hair, and hazel eyes, I'm 5'5'' and I have a lot of freckles on my arms."

"Sounds like the ghost that just joined my school." The ghost said.

"What do you mean a ghost just joined your school?" Tucker sounded surprised.

"A couple of days ago, this girl just walked onto our campus, and has been doing pretty well here. She told us her name's The Escaped Shadow. If this girl is your reflection, then that would mean you and your reflection are two separate beings."

"Is that even possible?" Tucker scrunched his nose, and had been staring at the school's trophy case opposite from the locker.

Cassandra realized he was doing this for a reason, she could see the reflection of the mirror in the locker through the glass pane of the trophy case. There was a boy in the mirror with crazy hair, broken glasses, and buck teeth. He was in the mirror just like Tucker said.

"Is there a way to connect them back together?"

"Sometimes having a rogue reflection can be helpful," said Sidney.

"How so?" she asked.

"Well, us reflections can mess with stuff in your world. So, if you get your reflection to like you, and to listen to you, you can get them to move objects for you, and to mimic your moves so that people think there's nothing wrong with your reflection."

"But what if my reflection doesn't like me?"

"She's basically an alternate universe of you, I'm sure you two will get along just fine. Do you want to see her? I can bring her up to the mirror."

"I already know what I look like."

"No, Cassandra. He's asking that because this is the only mirror you can have the reflections talk through to you."

"Oh, okay. Then yeah. I want to see her."

She watched the ghost move out of view of the mirror. She could see an old trophy case in black and white that had less trophy's then the one theirs had. The walls of the school in the mirror looked different too.

Tucker looked at Cassandra. "I'm sure you'll find a way to get your reflection back.

"Hello!" She heard herself say. She looked at the mirror and saw a black and white reflection.

"It's so nice to be free!" The reflection squealed and twirled in the mirror.

"Why are we separated?" Cassandra asked.

"Because I'm a part of your new ghost powers, silly!"

"Really?" Tucker shifted. "But Danny's never had powers with his reflection."

"Not all halfas are going to have the same powers, Tucker."

"Do you know what kind of powers I'm going to have?"

"You mean we, what kind of powers we are going to have. And yes, I do know what kind of powers we're going to have.

"Will you tell me-"

"What's the fun in that? You'll just have to find your powers the hard way." She smirked.

"Can you at least help me learn how to change into my ghost form at will?"

"I can't do that, so what makes you think I'd know how to change into a ghost form?"

"I don't know!" Cassandra shrugged. "I just assumed that, if you know what kind of powers I'll have, you'd know how to change forms."

"Well I don't, so... Good luck!" She waved her fingers, then left the mirror.

"Sidney?" Tucker called.

There wasn't a reply.

"That's weird." Tucker peaked into the locker.

Cassandra felt a jolt of energy, then a ring ran across her body, and changed her back into her human form.

Tucker smiled. "Hey, at least we can get to class now."

"Why weren't you in your classes already?"

The two of them, jumped from the sound of someone else's voice. One of the teachers was walking down the hall towards them.

"Detention, for both of you," said Mr. Lancer.

"What!" Cassandra never had detention.

"What do you expect? You two aren't in class. You'll go to detention unless you have a hall pass from your teachers."

Cassandra looked down at the cracks in the tile floor. "No, I don't."
