A/N: As I said in my profile, I am a new user and I'm not used to writing Danny Phantom stories on the computer. Besides, I'm still trying to figure out how to work FanFiction! Anyways, writing Danny stories seem kind of weird, so don't be surprised if I take a bit long writing new chapters at first. Oh, well. Here I go...
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom.
CURSED: THE CURSE OF SHADOWSPELL
CHAPTER ONE: ANNOYANCES
"Finally!" Danny said as he walked out the front doors of Casper High.
"I know," Tucker said as walked beside him. "18 homework assignments, 6 boring tests-"
"And not to mention that I lost my essay about American History that I spent three weeks doing and that's worth 25 of my grade!" Sam yelled.
"But the good news is that when we get home, it's nothing but good old-fashioned fun!" Tucker said.
"What do you mean "fun?"" Danny alleged. "You just told us 45 seconds ago that we had 18 homework assignments!"
"Oh yeah. Right."
But just then Danny's ghost sense went off.
"Uh oh. Here? Now?" Danny said. "Guys, I need to go-"
"To the bathroom?" Sam cut in.
"No!" Danny yelled. "Ghost!"
"Oh." Tucker and Sam said. "We'll go get the thermos."
Danny ran into the nearest alley and went ghost. Sure enough, Danny Phantom transpired from the alley with no sign of his human half.
"I am the Box Ghost!" a familiar voice wailed behind him. Danny turned around. There floated a blue skinned ghost wearing overalls.
"What?" Danny moaned. "You? Again?"
"Yes! It is I! The Box Ghost! Master of all things cardboard and square!" he stated. Then The Box Ghost paused for a moment. "I am The Box Ghost!"
"You just said that," Danny commented. "But, anyways, I have a test to study for, and I don't need you to waste my time, Box Ghost." Danny flew down to the alley and turned back to his human form.
"Do not ignore me, foolish human! For I am-"
"The Box Ghost! We all know that already! Give it a rest! You say that what, 40 times a day or something?" Danny walked away with his back facing the irritating ghost. Then he saw Sam and Tucker running up to him.
"Danny!" they said when they caught up to him. "We got the thermos!"
"I don't need it," Danny explained. "It was The Box-- Duck!"
"Box Duck? Who's The Box- Whoa!" A cardboard box was sent flying in their direction and hit Danny, Sam and Tucker directly. They landed in a gigantic trimmed bush. Danny opened his eyes.
"On second thought, maybe I do need the thermos." Danny corrected. He jumped out of the bushes with sticks and leaves still stuck to his hair. "Nice," he said as he pulled a stick out. Then Danny looked around. "Going ghost... again!" Two glowing white rings of light formed around his waist and traveled in opposite directions up and down his body, changing his raven-black hair to a snowy silver white, his sky blue eyes to a bright glowing green, and his blue jeans and T-shirt to a black jumpsuit with silver accents and an emblem labeled "DP." Danny flew up, met face-to-face with the bothersome Box Ghost, and shot an ecto-blast. The Box Ghost was sent flying backwards. Danny met up with him again. Suddenly, from behind him, a gray rock-hard box tackled him and left Danny lying on the ground.
"What the- Who would get the idea to make a stone box?" Danny said as he leisurely stood up.
But without notice, out of the box fell a mysterious purplish-black glowing gem, which fell into Danny's backpack. (He was still wearing it.) Then he looked at The Box Ghost. "Okay, that's it! I've already spent a half-hour trying to deal with you, so no more Mr. Nice Phantom!"
Danny took a deep breath, and used his Ghostly Wail. An earsplitting, ghastly shriek ascended over the ground, knocking over some trees, The Box Ghost, and windows.
"Tucker, now!" Sam commanded.
"Okay!" Tucker replied.
He opened the lid of the thermos and activated it. A stream of shining blue light hit The Box ghost and captured him while Danny was still using his wail. Then the wail softened, and Danny fell to the ground and transformed back to his human self. Sam and tucker walked up to him.
"You used your wail against The Box Ghost, your weakest enemy?" Tucker asked.
"Well... yeah," Danny said, panting. "Do you even know how annoying he is?"
"But still," Sam joined in. "You didn't really have a reason to-"
"Who cares if I didn't have a reason to?" Danny argued. "All I wanted to do is to get the idiotic fight over with, finish our homework before Lancer fries us again, and be prepared for the twenty ghosts that bother me tomorrow!"
"How do you know that it's going to be twenty?" Tucker joked.
"Tucker..."
"Um... let's... just... go home now before something's going to happen..." and with that Tucker rushed off down the street.
"Come-" Sam prevented Danny from finishing.
"Ignore him," Sam said. Then she and Danny walked home together.
A/N: Okay, how was it? closes eyes, crosses fingers I hope it wasn't too bad, I mean, it really IS my first FanFic. And I'll never be as good as you guys who are reading this...
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it, and I'll be looking forward to your reviews. Also, I'll try to make Danny say as many "Going ghosts" as possible, because something will happen later on that will prevent him from saying it throughout the whole "Cursed" series. And that's because I write my stories on notebook paper first before I type it on FanFiction. I'm already on my 2nd story in there.
