Normal POV

Danny walked through the rows of books in the library, scanning the shelves for something that would help him write his essay on the Second World War. He was so busy looking at the shelves he didn't notice the person he was walking towards until…

"Oww." He groaned as he looked up from where he had fallen on the floor. What he saw was the taller and much stronger person who had walked into him.

Danny POV

I knew it was it was going to one of the jocks but did it have to be that jock. Dash Baxter, star quarter-back, successful with the girls and 'the biggest bane of my existence'. I groaned again, this time not out of pain or surprise, but out of misfortune.

Dash POV

I heard a groan from the person I'd just knocked over and looked down. I couldn't help but smirk. Danny Fenten, the unpopular ('and unfortunate') boy that has come to be known as my punching bag.

He lay on his back, propped up on his elbows. His eyes were closed and his hair was messy but then again it usually is. He opened his eyes, saw me and quickly shut them again, groaning softly. I felt slightly disappointed that he hated me so much but I'd never tell anyone that.

"Watch where yir going Fenten." I snap as I storm past, not stopping to help him to his feet. He'd probably find that odd anyway.

Danny POV

I watched him stomp off; glad he didn't decide to stay. I sat up and breathed out in relief – I'd been holding my breathe the whole time, it wouldn't have surprised me if he'd decided to practice his punching skills out on me. Even though we're in the library we're right at the back so nobody would see us anyway. As I breathed out a thin trail of blue mist made its way out of my mouth. I smiled to myself, just what I needed to take my mind off things. I stood up quickly and went ghost.

My raven black hair turned snow white, while my blue eyes turned an eerie glowing green. My traditional outfit appeared as the rings of light travelled up and down my body – black spandex and white gloves and boots. 'Now that I think about it where did that outfit come from anyway?'

I jumped into the air and phased through the wall and ended up flying right into the ghost I'd sensed. I was pushed backwards and had an ectoplasm ball shot at me, a pretty weak one – it didn't leave a scratch. The ghost saw this and turned to flee but I grabbed hold of its wispy tail and threw it, snatching the Fenten Thermal and containing it. I smirked, something I only do when I'm Danny Phantom and flew away.

Dash POV

As soon as it'd gone I stepped out from behind the bushes and stood watching the sky where it had been. I'd seen him (I know it was a boy) come through the wall and attack the other…guess the only word for it is ghost. Even though it fired that green thing at him he'd still beaten it.

I sighed. He was the most beautiful creature I'd ever seen. Pure white hair, light green eyes…. I'm gonna see him again no matter if it's the last thing I do.
