This was my first story, Two Dimensions, but now my writing's to a point that this needs to be improved, and rewritten.This should be more enjoyable. I'd like to thank those who read, reviewed, faved, and put it on alert last time. If you didn't, welcome, and this is not how Danny got his powers, you'll find out later.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Fenton Portal, I don't own Tucker's beret, and I do not own Danny Phantom.

Portal Accident

Three teens sat in the Fenton's lab, staring at the useless portal. It hadn't been long since the inventors, Jack and Maddie, had walked away in defeat at their failure. They had hoped that it would connect two very different dimensions, giving planet Earth proof of the existence of a myth.

"Do you think they're real?" asked Tucker, the technology-loving friend of the Fenton's son who didn't go to the bathroom without his red beret or PDA. He was talking to his friends, but his eyes were fixed on the controls to the device.

"Not really," replied Danny.

"Go check it out," urged their other friend, Sam. But Danny was uncertain.

"Are you sure? It seems kinda creepy."

"Since when haven't your parents inventions been safe?"

"Well, actually," began Danny, thinking back to an event that was still clear in his mind. "Remember the last time my dad tried to build a portal? He sucked the house into another dimension."

Tucker laughed. "I remember that. Your mom still doesn't leave him alone in the lab!"

"Come on Danny," tested Sam. "Who knows what type of cool things are in store for the portal? I dare you to go check it out."

Danny cringed. "Okay, here goes nothing," he said, trying to convince himself of the statement. Danny approached the portal.

"Wait a minute!" cried Tucker. "I want to play with the buttons and switches first!"

Danny rolled his eyes. "All right, Tucker. You can 'play with the buttons and switches first'."

"Dude! Thanks!" hollered Tucker, as he rushed to mess with them. Danny gulped and took a deep breath as he strode into the device. It was dark inside, with loose wires all over. Nervously, he stepped forward, only to trip over a stray cord. He fell, with his hand blushing against a button. Coincidently, it was the 'on' button that his scientist parents had forgotten to activate.

A green light-like substance came from the center of the portal and expanded outward, consuming the unfortunate boy. "Danny!" screamed Sam and Tucker.

The strange substance swirled around but did not leave the portal, like the figure that staggered through. It was Danny, with something different about him. He was paler; his features weren't as bright as they had been a second before, and he had collapsed on the floor.

Tears and black eyeliner streamed down Sam's face. "Oh no! This is all my fault! He probably hates me. He's gonna do something terrible, I just know it."

The noise she was making attracted Danny's attention. Once he had gathered the strength to pull himself out, he looked up at her. "Sam?" he asked, the expression on his face that of surprise, and worry. "Uh, guys, what happened?"

Tucker answered him. "Dude, you went inside your parents' new portal. While you were inside, the thing turned on and it . . . " he paused, not wanting to finish the sentence. "Look for yourself."

Danny glanced down at himself. "Tuck? What's the deal? You're telling me to see that I look the same And what happened to you two?"

Sam took a deep breath. "Nothing happened to us, Danny. But you, you're a, a human!"
