Hello, everyone! I'm here to contribute my story to the Danny Phantom Archive! Now, I was looking through the Danny Phantom forums, when I came across a plot bunny. "Basically, the plot goes that Danny tweaks off some crazy obsessive cat-lady and she turns him into a kitten. In a cruel twist of irony, though, Vlad finds out and takes him in to try and use the situation to his advantage." Now, I'm going to have a twist on this concept, otherwise I would have just told you the entire plot! By the way, something I want to say about the title is that it's a play on the theme song. Also, I have a story that I worked really hard on, Pokemon in Amity Park, and I was hoping that some of you guys would read it. I just hate the fact that so far, not many people have bothered to look at when I worked so hard on it! Anyways, enough of my whining. Let's move onto the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. All rights go to Butch Hartman, the man behind this great show!
Danny weaved in and out of the giant ghost squid's tentacles. It was currently 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday, and all Danny wanted to do was go back to sleep. Seriously, this was one of the few days he got to sleep in! The ghost squid backed up, preparing to shoot some ink. Luckily, Danny saw it coming and dodged. He charged up an ectoblast and fired it at the ghost squid's eye. The beam hit it dead on, causing to screech in pain. Danny took this as an opportunity to suck the ghost into the thermos. Danny let out a satisfied sigh. Now he could go back to sleep!
A crash from an alleyway underneath him caught his attention. Danny stared down at the alleyway, debating whether he should check it out or not. Eventually he came to the decision that he should go see what had made the noise. Even if he did ignore it and went home, the thought that he might have let a ghost roam free to cause havoc would keep him up anyway.
He floated down cautiously to the alleyway, prepared for the worst. He landed on the ground as he scanned the alley for any sign of a ghost. A flicker of movement behind a trash can caught his eye. He began to approach the trash can slowly. He peered around the trash can and saw a glowing green cat with a dark green streak on its back. The cat turned to face Danny and meowed.
Danny let out a sigh. It was only a cat. A ghost cat, but a cat nonetheless. This wouldn't be too hard. "Alright, kitty, I'm just going to take you back to your home," Danny said as he reached out to pick up the cat. The cat's back arched slightly. "Relax. I'm not going to hurt you," Danny soothed, reaching slower this time.
The cat refused to be consoled and lashed out, scratching at Danny's hands. Danny barely managed to pull his hands out of the cat's reach. He sent the cat a glare. Maybe this was going to be harder than he thought. The cat let out a low growl and a hiss.
The cat's body began to grow. Giant fangs popped out of the cat's mouth, giving the appearance of a Saber Tooth Tiger. Danny could now see the big, sharp claws that the cat truly possessed. Yeah, this was going to be way harder than he thought. The giant cat let out a roar akin to a tiger and pounced at him. Danny's eyes widened in surprise at the cat's sudden movement. Danny dove to the side and rolled. The giant cat landed right where Danny had been floating, but instead of turning around to fight him, it began to run out into the street.
Danny sprang up off the ground and flew into the skies. He could see the giant cat running through the streets. It looked like it was going somewhere. The giant cat turned sharply into another alleyway that led to one of the older parts of town. Danny successfully followed the cat through the maze of alleys. The cat sprinted faster down the alley and turned into another street once again. Danny sped up to keep up with the cat, but when he got out of the alley, he only saw a glimpse of the cat as it phased through the wall of an old building.
Danny phased through the wall of the building. There didn't seem to be anyone there. The room was littered with old furniture. Couches, chairs, tables, even a few old TVs. Danny walked alertly, looking for any sign of the darn cat that was causing him to lose sleep. Finally, he spotted a soft, green glow coming from one of the couches. Danny crept up to the couch and saw an old woman. Her white hair was pulled into a bun with a few wisps of hair flying out. She wore a purple shawl.
"Why hello there, dearie," the elderly woman greeted. "Are you lost?"
Danny was caught off guard. He didn't think anyone was here, let alone an old woman. She didn't seem to be the slightest bit perturbed by him either. "Um, I'm looking for a cat," Danny said, barely managing to not stutter.
"Oh? Why I just love cats!" the lady exclaimed cheerfully. "Is it your cat?" the old woman asked curiously.
"No, ma'am," Danny responded. "It's a ghost cat. I want to find it and be sure it's not causing trouble."
This seemed to catch the old woman's attention. "So you're the one who angered my little Mandalay," the old lady said with an edge. The old woman stood up and turned around, letting Danny get a good look at her. She had wrinkly, green skin.
She lifted up her hands as they lit up with green energy. "I'll teach you not to mess with my cat!" the old lady exclaimed. She shot her rays at Danny, who dodged by flying. "Mandalay! Get him!" the woman commanded. The giant cat came out of nowhere and whacked Danny over the head with her paw. Danny landed on the hard floor, a bit dazed. The old woman raised her hands once again and shot the beams of energy at Danny. This time Danny couldn't dodge due to his daze. All he saw was the bright green light and then darkness.
Okay, so how'd I do? I love feedback! Please tell me what you thought. Also, please go check out that other story I mentioned! You've got to do something while you wait on the next chapter, so why not go see if you like my writing style. You don't have to, but I'd really appreciate it if you did. Also, yes the cat's name is a reference to My Hero Academia. Anyways, until the next chapter!
