I was so glad that Tucker thought to cut the live feed on the cameras before I transformed in front of the people of Amity Park. They knew my secret but the rest of the world only knew my human half as "the boy who saved the planet". I was still famous but not as much as "the ghost boy" who went into the ghost zone at my human half's request and gathered all the ghosts to save the world.

The point I am trying to make is I. AM. FAMOUS. In both forms, and what do famous people have to deal with? Reporters. I shudder every time I hear them outside, they are the one thing that truly scares me. It's gotten so bad that I refuse to go outside for anything less than a ghost fight or a date with Sam.

Sadly both those activities were rare, the press were always prowling outside my house and the ghosts had given me a break after saving the world. Well, all except Skulker, who made good on his promise to hunt his "most valuable prize" and the box ghost whom no one was afraid of.

Mom and Dad weren't much better than the people of Amity, they weren't hero-worshipping me more like they were experimenting with me. I love them but they get over excited sometimes, Jazz had to step in before they could find out what weapons worked in the vault. Eventually they programmed everything to ignore my ecto signature.

I still remember the day the G.I.W came over to arrest me, they came under the pretense of "congratulating" me but when they pulled out an ecto-gun it got ugly. I still don't know how the town people did it but they were on the agents even before I could blink. I still laugh when I think of Paulina jumping on agent K's back with black eyeliner and underlining his eyes perfectly while he struggled before dumping the rest of the bottle on his white suit.

They were shut down as an agency that same day for never catching a ghost and letting a criminal escape their custody. I think they meant Freak show because he came after me soon after, but he was still human so it didn't take much to take him down. Since the disastroid I had fans but after I caught freak show I had people camping outside my house and screaming my name just to meet me.

I don't know what I am going to do with school, I liked that I didn't have to lie to the teachers anymore but I didn't want to deal with the fake friendships that were sure to come. Fame sucks. Even Tucker was starting to hate being the youngest mayor in history, it seemed that Sam was the only one not affected, in fact she used it to convert people to being ultra-recyclo-vegetarian. Her protests gained momentum too. Now there was a whole new section to the nasty burger and school menu.

Outside was beginning to get louder as the sun started to come up, it was early and the only reason why I was up was because at night is the only time I can think to myself. As the sun climbed higher the noise got louder with, hurting my sensitive ears. I could hear Sam and Tuck making their way through the crowd.

Suddenly the noise stopped and the world was tinted in blue, I smiled because there was only one person or ghost in the universe who could do that. I turned to see my mentor "Clockwork!" I said before leaning forward and hugging the old ghost. He smiled in a grandfather-like way and returned my hold. When we finally parted he cleared his throat, I don't know why he did since he's dead but it's nice to see the ghosts display human traits.

"Daniel, how are you doing?" he asked and I smiled "I'm okay a bit swamped with people but otherwise fine…. But you knew that didn't you." I said

He nodded and chuckled a bit "That I did, but today I did not come here to exchange pleasantries, come we have a matter to discuss about your future."

I stopped dead, was he talking about Dark Dan? "Did….he get out?" I asked. Clockwork shook his head and explained "all is as it should be, you should never have to worry about him anymore, if this plan goes off without a hitch. Follow young Daniel."

He floated down to my sister's room and phased through the door. When I went through too I found him putting the medallion over her head, smart, she learn to asked questions first and let me do the shooting later. She seemed pretty surprised when she suddenly wasn't alone.

"Who are you? How did you get here? And why are you and Danny in my room?" she quizzed in rapid fire. See? Questions. This is probably why she figured out my identity when no one else in Amity could. I mean really? Danny is my first name in both forms for goodness sakes! I looked over to Clockwork who again smiled that grandfatherly smile and answered back just as fast if not faster. "I am Clockwork, we floated here and phased through the door and we are in your room to get you before getting your parents to discuss a matter concerning Danny." Jazz looked worried before she got up and followed us outside her room, having to actually open the door because she couldn't just walk through. I love ghost powers.

When we arrived downstairs, Clockwork lead us to the kitchen where Jazz and I saw something that we will never un-see. My parents were about two inches away from each other's face, their lips puckered for a kiss. Jazz and I immediately turned around with grossed out looks on our faces. No one wants to see their parents make out frozen in time. With a flick of his scepter my parents weapons floated into the living room behind us, anything that could hurt a ghost was soon out of their reach. One arsenal and a toaster later, Clockwork handed us the time medallions. I went to my Dad while Jazz went to my mom. As soon as the medallions were over their heads they resumed their kiss, complete with gross kissing noises.

Ew. When they finally stopped kissing and opened their eyes they jumped when they saw their children less than 3 feet from them when they thought they were in their rooms. And they dived for the nearest weapon when they saw the ghost standing in the entrance. (My dad going for the toaster.) When that turned out to be futile they turned back to the ancient ghost, a small look of panic crossed their faces. Before I stepped in and vouched for him, behind us, in the living room the toaster popped with a slightly burnt piece of Fenton toast.

Shortly after we found ourselves on the couch, my dad eating the toast and listening intently to what Clockwork said. "It has come to my attention that Danny cannot go to school here in Amity anymore. The fame he has enjoyed will prevent him from learning and continuing his life. I have used some old connections and got him accepted in a school that won't know who he is."

"Most of the world knows Danny, how could you find a school that will teach him when we couldn't?" Mom asked. Dad jumped up and added his two cents "yeah, no one on earth doesn't know my boy!" I rolled my eyes at their antics, I had no doubt that Clockwork could find a school that didn't know about me. He is the time ghost, if he wanted he could send me back in time to go to school. I didn't say anything though, not wanting to upset my parents or tell them how powerful Clockwork really was.

Clockwork nodded towards me. "Young Daniel may be known to the human world, but did it ever cross your minds that since ghosts exist so do other super naturals?" That threw me for a loop, super naturals? As in vampires, and werewolves? Now that I thought about it, it shouldn't surprise me that much. I had friends in the ghost zone who were dragons and wolf men so it shouldn't be too big of a stretch to assume that they existed in the human world too.

"Others? As in monsters? Vampires, werewolves, Zombies?" Jazz said trembling it looked like she wasn't going to sleep tonight. Clockwork nodded and smiled as the family blanched at the thought of all the "things that go bump in the night" that might be visiting. I had to laugh at this, now that mom and dad knew this they would begin to make weapons to protect themselves and just like the ghost weapons, they would work.

Clockwork nodded and continued "Danny needs an education, the monsters, or Yokai, as they prefer to be called are going to reunite with the populace at large. Danny as king will lead the ghosts –"

Whoa. Wait. What? My family had the same reaction shouting "WHAT?" before Clockwork smiled and continued "And be an ambassador for the Yokai and humans." Clockwork finished. I jumped off the couch and pulled the purple robed Ghost closer to me."What do you mean king?" I asked hysterically, no one told me I was king! How the heck did that happen? Clockwork, in true ghost fashion, phased out of my grip and smirked before he looked at the grandfather clock on his chest "Opps, its time I must leave. All is as it should be. TIME IN." The blue faded and the medallions disappeared. That faker! He controls time! He could stay as long as he wanted.

I didn't have long to think on this before Sam and Tucker walked through my front door, briefly bringing me out of my mind and into the world of noise and reporters. Sam and Tuck looked at the rest of my family with a questioning look, when I turned to look my entire family was stunned. Quite a feat considering they can defy logic and physics by packing a tent in a pill.

"Uh, did we miss something?" Sam asked

"Yeah dude, what's with your parents?" Tuck said. I laughed a bit and just walked over to try to wake them up from their trance. I should have let them stay in it, my dad was so loud when he finally gained his sense back.

"MY BOY IS A KING! OF GHOSTS NO LESS!" my ears were ringing as Sam and Tuck turned to each other, raising their eyebrows in question.

"Well if you think about it, it makes sense….I mean he did defeat Pariah Dark, the previous king." Sam said

"Yeah, and he has made friends with at least 3 royal ghosts in the zone. So it shouldn't really be that surprising." Tuck said fiddling with his PDA and bringing up the list of friendly ghosts who were my allies. He showed my parents Dora, Frostbite, and Pandora.

We talked about this before Sam saw something on the coffee table and picked it up to read aloud. "Thank you for choosing Yokai Academy to send your precious little monster too. We take pride in our education and our graduating students co-existing successfully with humans. We have never had a problem with the humans getting past our borders since 1882. Please contact the school to have your uniform to be sent to you." Raising an eyebrow she looked up at Danny before saying "you need to learn Japanese if you want to go to this school."

I forgot all about that. To be honest it sounded interesting and it would be good to figure out how to make peace with other creatures if they were going to be integrated into the human world.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, monsters exist? I mean ghosts do. Sure, but monsters?" Tucker said, he looked like he would be with Jazz on the not sleeping part of this. Both Sam and I looked at him before Sam grabbed his PDA and brought up Dora and Wolf. "Oh." Was all he said.

"Are you going to the school?" Jazz asked. I had a feeling that she was more worried that she couldn't protect me if I leave than she was that I was going to a school full of monsters. I love Jazz.

"I think he should." Sam said "it would be good to learn about other monsters so we can protect ourselves." They all nodded when the world was tinted blue again briefly before a note appeared pinned to my shirt.

'I forgot to tell you, you have the gift of tongues. I sped up your time to when you get it in a few months. So no need to worry about language.'

"Well I guess I am going to Yokai academy." I said. Who knows maybe it will be fun, though I should be careful in case some of these monsters don't like ghosts. Suddenly a thought hit me. "What should I pack for monster school?"

A week later I was in my room finishing up my packing "Okay I have the Fenton Anti-creep stick, quarterstaff, and thermos, Fenton phones, fishing line untangled, weasel, ecto gun, and wrist rays. Some clothes and money. I think I am ready for anything."

"Not yet." Sam said, she walked across my room and kissed me on my mouth. I grinned dopily and grabbed her hand as we walked down into the basement, we decided that instead of wasting money on a plane I would just take the ghost zone and go through a portal that will open for 2 minutes in Japan. I still had to get my passport but at least we would be saving money. It was a small goodbye party, only my friends and family were there, which suited me just fine. Small hugs were given by the men and kisses on the check by my mother and sister. Sam and I kissed one more time before I turned to enter the ghost zone. Transforming I stepped through and started to fly to where the portal would be.

Distance didn't matter in the ghost zone, I could fly for less than a minute and be across the world or fly back and have to take an hour to get back. I flew for about 10 minutes before I arrived at the place I needed to be. Surprisingly none of the ghosts attacked me, sure they usually left me alone but now I was on their turf. The portal opened soon after I got to the place and I stepped through into the busiest place I had ever seen. According to the map Clockwork dropped over earlier that week, (it was on the back of the pamphlet.) I was supposed to go down an alley labeled as 悪魔 it took a while but they marks changed and slowly became a word "Ak- uma alley?"

I adjusted the suitcase, shrugged and began walking. It didn't take long to find it, when I went down the alley I took note of the dark and dank atmosphere. I found the bus stop and waited for the bus that would take me to school. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, the air was thick and it made me miss the clear skies of home. "You gonna get on kid?" My eyes flew open and a huge yellow bus was sitting idle in front of me, I didn't even hear it drive up. I stood and grabbed my suitcase and adjusted the tie on my uniform.

When I stepped on the bus I saw the driver for the first time, his eyes seemed to glow and he had a long face with pointed teeth that smiled up at him. He kind of gave me the creeps. He felt powerful. Not as much as a ghost but I still didn't want to test it. "Good to know you have sense, boy" he said before closing the door and driving off.

I was alone on the bus for a while when I felt the bus slow down, the door slid open an a boy got on he had black hair and brown eyes he looked about my age so I guess we would both be first years in this new school. 'That's strange' I thought 'he doesn't look like a monster' in fact he didn't even trigger any of my warning senses maybe he was just really weak. 'Unless…he's human.' We then passed through a tunnel and the world began to look a lot more like the ghost zone.

The ocean was blood red and it looked like a dead forest lay in front of the school, the boy next to me began to freak out. 'Yep, defiantly human.' He missed his chance to leave when he freaked out so I thought I should help him, my obsession kicking in I turned to him and introduced myself.

"Hey, I am Danny Fenton." My language was slow, I found that just because I have the gift of tongues didnt mean I didnt have to study the language. It just meant I could understand what people were saying in that language.

"Tsukune Aono" he said quietly before he seemed to remember something, "Fenton, Danny as in the one who saved the world?"
