Danny smiled as he closed his textbook. Now, usually, he would be out on patrol right now, however, ever since the fight with the mysterious cloaked figure, his powers hadn't worked at all. He remembered back to the fight

"Having a hard time?" mocked the cloaked figure.

Danny rolled his eyes and prepared for a flying assault

The cloaked figure started off on another taunt, Danny went to grab the Fenton Thermos, but he was in the back with a blast from none other than Valerie.

The blast propelled him into a nearby alley, where the sheer force of the blast combined with the impact forced him to revert to human form. Or so he had thought.

Now that he thought about it, his powers had become increasingly irregular throughout the fight with that ghost. Everything varied from high to low. He couldn't fly one minute, and the next he was 30 feet in the air. He had thought he was just tired, but now he wondered what had really been happening.

As he recalled back to the event, he remembered that most of the ghost's attack had been taunting him. Even with witty banter, he noted in his head, there's still usually a fight, or at least an attempt at one. Ah well, better not give it too much thought or I'll end up like my parents.

As he tried to clear his mind (unsuccessfully), his phone rang.

"Hello?" he answered.

"Hey Danny, it's Sam," replied (obviously) Sam. "Tucker and I are going to see Dead Teacher VII later. You in?"

"Yeah, that'd be great, but what time?"

"Well, we're going to the 7 'o clock showing, and it's 6 right now, so that gives you about 45 minutes to get ready if we want good seats."

Still thinking about the fight, Danny said, "OK, see you soon."

As Danny walked towards the theater, he still couldn't get the fight off of his mind.

It just doesn't make sense. I get into a fight with a ghost, no actual fighting occurs, and I lose my ghost powers? What is going on?

As Danny pondered what had truly happened, he saw Sam and Tucker. Deciding to forget it for now, he met up with his friends and entered the theater.

--

When the movie was over, they left the theater, and Danny and Tucker couldn't stop ranting about the movie. Sam just looked over and smiled. I swear, someday they will lose the ability to form a sentence.

As she threw out her garbage, she almost swore she saw Danny's eyes flicker green. Thinking it a trick of the mind, she forgot about it and went back up to her friends. Just as they were about to leave, the really annoying person who happens to be everywhere when a ghost attacks shouted, "It's the Box Ghost! Run!" Resisting the urge to smack the person, Danny went to take care of him... for now.

"Again I am no longer the Box Ghost! I am now the Bendy Straw Ghost! BEWARE!"

"This isn't even worth telling my parents. Hey, Sam, do you still carry around a Fenton Thermos?"

"Yeah, do you want it back? I don't really see the 'Bendy Straw Ghost' as worth it.." she replied.

"Eh, it'll get him out of everyone's hair for a while. Maybe I should just keep him in thermos and lock it away," said Danny with a smile.

A little less confident, the Ghost Formerly known as Box Ghost flew away hastily, as the friends began to crack up.

--

A little later, Sam noticed Danny's eyes were green again. This time she was sure it was no trick of the mind. "Hey Danny, are you wearing contacts?" asked Sam rather bluntly.

"No, why would I be? No one in my family wears glasses or anything…"

"You may want to see this..." Sam then turned him to a rather reflective store window.

Danny looked in the window. Instead of Danny Fenton's icy blue eyes, he was looking at Danny Phantom's vibrant green eyes.

A/N: Yep, I finished Chapter 1. Sorry about the two for one chapter thing, I had sporadic writing periods. Next time I'll finish a chapter before I post it, but I wanted to see what people thought. Again, please review!
