Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom
Summary: The Sequel to The New Class. As this is not part of the challenge, I can do my own twists. During the Ghost 101 class, the students are asked to do a report on ectoplasm. Danny decides to hint a bit about Vlad, but ends up not only hinting about his arch foe, but hints about himself.
The Assignment
Chapter 1: The Assignment
It was a warm Friday afternoon and Samantha Manson, Daniel Fenton, and Tucker Foley were at the Nasty Burger
"I cannot believe this assignment" Sam Manson said "'Write a report on ectoplasm and the effects it can have in the real world' Doesn't your Mom know that your Dad forgot to cover that?"
"Well…it wasn't so much as FORGOT to cover rather than he wasn't aware that he wasn't covering it" Danny Fenton admitted
"Danny? Did you overshadow your Dad again?" Sam asked
"I didn't want to risk anyone getting any hints" Danny defended "All it takes is for SOMEONE to remember the lab accident. Mom and Dad know that Phantom got the way he is because of ectoplasmic radiation."
"Well, maybe you can use this to your advantage" Tucker said, mouth full of his hamburger
"How?" Danny asked
"Look. What all do your parents know of the Accident?"
"That I was shocked by the portal" Danny answered. "You know that"
"You're the one who told them" Sam said
Flashback
Sam and Tucker couldn't believe it. They had witnessed the death of their best friend as his ghost paced while panicking as he rambled on about how his parents would probably react.
"Danny!" Sam said grabbing the ghost boy's shoulder. "Relax"
"RELAX! Sam. I'm a GHOST! My parents are ghost HUNTERS!"
"We won't let them get to you" Sam promised.
Danny looked at Sam and then at Tucker. Seeing Tucker nod in agreement, Danny relaxed.
Then, a white light formed around his torso and split into two rings that traveled up and down his body transforming him into the Danny Fenton he was before he put on the hazmat suit.
"What just happened?" Tucker asked as Danny looked himself over
Sam placed two fingers on Danny's neck.
"You have a pulse" she said. "Danny! You're NOT dead!"
"Thank goodness" Danny sighed
"Kids?" Maddie's voice came as she and Jack came into the lab
The trio turned and saw the highly confused ghost hunters.
"Hey!" Jack exclaimed. "The portal's working!"
"Danny?" Maddie asked. "Did you and your friends fix the portal?"
"Not much to fix." Danny admitted with a nervous laugh
"Worst it did was give him a BIT of a shock" Tucker said
"Well, no more messing around our equipment without an adult supervisor" Maddie said hugging her son
"Don't worry" Danny said
End Flashback
"I see what you mean" Danny told Tucker. "They could have taken 'shock' as it surprised us. AND…I can hint about Plasmius and basically tell them the story of Vlad's accident, but not use any names so that Plasmius can't TECHNICALLY blame me because for all Mr. Mayor knows, I could have been talking about my OWN accident"
