A Ghosts Secrets one-shots

Birthday

Hello! So I'm putting this at the beginning of the chapter because why not? As I said in the last chapter, I'm hoping to write a Q and A for A Ghosts Secrets. You can ask the characters questions, questions about the story, or anything else you want to ask. Once I get enough questions I'll write the Q and A before posting it. Anyways, enjoy the chapter!

This chapter was requested by @fallenfrost24

*****

Today was a day Phantom would rather forget, he really hated today, it was his birthday. There were a few reasons why he hated his birthday, they always turned out bad, he was always alone, and it was also his death day. That's right, he died when it was his birthday, some birthday present am I right?

The day he turned fourteen he died, a few days later he was shot at, fun times (Sarcasm.) The last two years he was even experimented on and tortured, he really hated today, it was kind of hard not to. He wanted to forget today he always got super depressed on his birthday/death day.

That was why he had locked himself in his room with his blankets wrapped around him as he held his knees to his chest with his back pressed against the wall. The lights were turned off and he didn't move, he didn't make a sound as he sat in his room. When the team saw that Phantom was nowhere to be seen they all went to his room, the air around his room was surprisingly cold.

Robin knocked on the door, "Phantom, it's us, will you come out of your room?"

Phantom looked at the door when he heard Robin's voice, "No." Phantom's voice sounded hollow when he spoke.

Robin frowned, "Will you at least open the door?"

Phantom sighed as he got up and walked over to the door before opening it, "What?" Phantom's eyes were still glowing but they seemed dull, he looked a bit tired, and if they had to put it in words, done with the world.

Kid Flash looked at Phantom sadly, "Dude, what's wrong?"

Phantom didn't want to answer but the looks on everyone's faces made him give in, "Today's my birthday." Everyone started to talk but Phantom held up a hand and they stopped immediately, the halfa mentally sighed, "It's also my death day."

The young heroes all stared at him with wide eyes and Artemis eventually spoke, "Why didn't you tell us?"

Phantom crossed his arms, he had been leaning on the door frame the whole time, "I hate today. It's nothing but bad memories, just forget about it and let me celebrate my birthday/death day by being depressed in a dark room." Phantom closed the door and went back to sitting on his bed like he had been before, the team tried to get him to talk but he wouldn't.

The heroes went to the living room after over twenty minutes of trying to talk to Phantom. Black Canary came in to train the team and they told her what was wrong with Phantom. After training, which they all did half heartedly, they all tried to do things to pass the time but they were worried about Phantom.

At around two in the afternoon Robin thought of something, he snuck away without the others noticing and he took out a cell phone. However this isn't a normal cell phone, it could be used to contact ghosts in the ghost zone. Several ghosts knew that he and Phantom were dating so they gave Robin their phone numbers in case something happened.

Robin called one ghost after another to tell them what was going on and they all said they'd come to the mountain. When they showed up they were all holding wrapped boxes, things full of decorations, and Dora was holding a box with a cake in it. The team, minus Robin, all had shocked and confused looks on their faces but the ghosts didn't care.

Most of the ghosts started setting everything up while Lunch lady, along with her little girl Box Lunch, told the team what they were doing. Box Lunch tried to get out of her mother's arms to find Phantom but Lunch lady wouldn't let her. If Box Lunch went to find Phantom it might ruin the surprise and she didn't want that to happen.

Box Lunch was born five months ago and she really liked Phantom, even when she was first born. Phantom had been named her god father when she was born and Phantom couldn't have been happier. When the baby ghost saw Robin she smiled and tried to get to him, she didn't like him as much as Phantom but she still liked him.

Phantom would take Robin to the ghost zone sometimes without the rest of the team and that's when he met Box Lunch. The baby flew over to Robin and he hugged her back, she was cute and he absolutely loved her. His teammates were surprised yet again but Lunch lady just smiled and went to help the others.

Robin noticed that the others were looking at him and he smiled, "She seems to like me." Robin held Box Lunch as the ghosts set everything up, it took a few hours and the team helped, aside from Robin for obvious reasons. As they were setting everything up Batman called them because Black Canary told him about Phantom.

It wasn't long before the mentors, Black Canary, Red Tornado, and Dr. Fate showed up at the mountain. Red Tornado hadn't been there because the Leaguers had a meeting that day but now that it was over he was back. When everything was finally set up it was six and the ghosts approved, that was when they went to get Phantom.

Johnny was tasked with getting Phantom so the biker ghost walked to his room. When Phantom wouldn't even answer him he phased through the door, the only reason he didn't drag him was because Phantom walked absentmindedly where Johnny lead him. When he finally got Phantom to the living room the halfa heard people shout surprise and he looked around.

His eyes widened when he saw his ghost friends, some members of the League, and the team all smiling at him. Even Batman was smiling, Batman was actually smiling, Phantom hadn't thought it was possible! Box Lunch flew over to him and hugged him, the halfa couldn't help but smile when she did that.

It wasn't long before people started talking or playing games, Phantom didn't play all of them but he did play a few. Box Lunch refused to let him go but he was fine with that, he loved his god daughter. After over an hour of talking and playing games they had Phantom open presents, much to his dismay, they didn't have to get him presents.

After half an hour of opening presents, there were a lot of them, it was time for cake. After people sang happy birthday, while Phantom pulled his hood over his face, he blew out the candles. As people were clapping Box Lunch tugged on his sleeve, "Ph- Phan- Phantom."

The ghosts stared at her in shock and Phantom's eyes seemed to shine with happiness. After getting over their shock at Box Lunch saying her first word they cut the cake. Another forty-five minutes passed before people started heading home, the team opted to stay at the mountain.

The team watched movies together until almost everyone fell asleep, Phantom and Robin were the only ones that were still awake by the end of the second movie. Robin looked at Phantom, "I hope you liked your birthday/death day, you seemed really depressed before."

Phantom hummed, "This was definitely the best birthday/death day I've had. On my past birthdays I was alone and for the last two I was at the GIW's lab, on my fourteenth birthday I half died so that one was horrible."

Robin frowned a little before he kissed Phantom's cheek, "I'm sorry that happened, at least you won't be alone anymore."

Phantom smiled a little, "I guess so, thanks." Robin smiled and kissed Phantom, the two ended up falling asleep on the couch and Phantom was happy.
