Danny phantom: the next generation

Prologue 1

Year: 2010

Date: March 11

For so long he had been waiting this moment. Danny Fenton, now 20 years old, was waiting outside of Sam's new apartment building. It was chilly for it being the middle of spring. Danny stood there shivering. I mean, how long can it take one girl to get dressed? The last time he had to wait this long for Sam was at the senior prom. He would never forget that night.

:Flashback:

Danny stood there, waiting for her to come out. He was whistling a weird tune he picked up when he saw her come out. When he saw her, his breath hitched in his throat. She was GORGEOUS! She was wearing a ankle length black gown, with red and purple trim laced into it. At the waist she had a purple belt with a ruby in the middle, and the dress showed off JUST enough leg and midriff. You could see she was more mature than when she was fourteen. Her hair was longer, though she still wore it in a small ponytail, and she was taller and curvier. She was wearing a black and purple chocker around her neck with matching earrings and bracelets. She had also switched her normal combat boots for knee high black leather boots. But enough about her appearance, you could tell Danny was drooling. Sam blushed "um Danny, could you stop drooling so we can go?" Danny snapped out of his trance and nodded dumbly.

Later during the prom:

They were sitting on the sidelines, watching the couples dance. Tucker and Valerie were among them, having both given up on watching Sam and Danny struggle over their feelings. They never did figure it out, Sam and Danny I mean. As they sat Danny spoke up. "Umm Sam? Uhhh there's been some thing I wanna ask and... Umm…" Sam looked hopeful. " Actually Danny, there's something I've been wanting to ask you too." Sam and Danny looked at each other. Then Danny and Sam said, at the same time, " I love you" then looked away blushing. "He he, I guess that means we're "lovebirds" now, eh?" Danny said. Then Sam smiled "yeah I guess so." They looked at each other, then leaned in for a kiss, and this time, it wasn't going to be fake. They were so involved in their kiss that they didn't notice when tucker and Valerie started clapping, nor when the whole school joined in to clap for the finally together lovebirds. At least, not until they broke apart, gasping for breath, and blushing at seeing the entire school clapping for them.

End flashback.

"Hey ghost boy, are you going to get your head out of the clouds so we can go?" Danny jumped, startled, and whipped around to see Sam standing there in a gown similar to the dress she wore at the prom. He blushed and they walked to his car.

A few minutes later…

They stepped out of the car. Danny had brought them to a really fancy restaurant for the occasion. " Wow Danny. Do you really think you can afford to eat here?" Danny smiled. " Of course. I think it's the perfect place." Sam looked at him curiously. "Whadda you mean by that?" "You'll see." They walked inside. "Table for two please." "Right this way." Once seated, they looked over their menus. "So, why here Danny?" Danny opened his mouth to speak, only to be interrupted when the waiter came out and asked what they wanted. After they ordered, and the food had been served, Sam asked again. " Now what were you going to say before the waiter came?" Danny blushed. " Well about that… ummm… you see I… oh how do I say this! Ummmm… w-w-well w-w-what I'm t-t-trying t-t-to say is," Danny kneeled down in front of her and got out a box. " Sam, will you merry me?" Sam looked at the box, eyes wide. The ring was made of black gold, with onyx and amethyst jewels adorning the top. For a finishing touch the ring was engraved with 'I will always love you- Danny& Sam 3/11/10' Sam started crying, "of course I will Danny! I will marry you!"

One month later…

It had been one month since the night Danny proposed. On this particular day, Danny was out fighting a particularly bad ghost. " Come on stupid! You can do better than that! Then again, you probably lost your brain when you lost the rest of your innards, you stupid blob!" the ghost turned towards Danny, eyes burning with rage. 'Okay, so maybe making it more mad was a bad idea.' "Ahhhhhhh!" The ghost slammed Danny into the apartment building that he and Sam lived at. Sam ran out into the lobby Danny was slammed into. "Danny!" She rushed towards him. "Sam! No! Stay back! Ahhh!" the ghost slammed Danny into Sam, knocking them into the wall. Danny got up. Unfortunately, Sam had taken the brunt of the attack, and lay unconscious behind him. Danny glared at the ghost, his eyes full of rage. " You hurt Sam. YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT! " Danny relentlessly attacked the ghost, head on, till it was knocked unconscious, then sucked it up into the thermos. Danny then looked around to see that no one was there, then turned human and ran over to Sam. "Are you okay!" She didn't seem to be moving. Danny checked her pulse and heartbeat. She was alive, just very bruised and battered.

After the fight and Sam was okay, Danny and Sam had a long talk. Danny felt it was time to give up his ghost powers, for the safety of his soon-to-be wife and (hopefully) future kids. (AN: no, Sam is not pregnant or anything. Not yet at least. And there will NOT be any lemons in this story.) Sam didn't like the idea, but gave in for their sake. Danny didn't want to do this either, but knew it had to be done.

" So Danny, you want to give up your ghost powers for you and your soon-to-be family's safety?" Danny and Sam had both come to clockwork for answers. Tucker had come along as well, considering that he was there when Danny got his powers, he had to see him through loosing them as well. "Yes. I mean I'll miss having ghost powers, being able to fly, being able to be invisible, and even being able to be a hero. But it's the only way I can keep us safe from ghosts. Yesterday, I was afraid that Sam was going to die because of some minor ghost. If I can't keep her safe from minor ghosts, who's to say I can protect her from ghosts like Skulker, or Vlad? Without ghost powers, the ghosts wont have reason to come after me anymore, and the portal can be closed, for good this time." Clockwork sighed. "Very well. But what is done is done, and I cannot give you your powers back once they are gone. Knowing this, do you still wish to go through with this?" Danny looked at his friend, and at his soon-to-be wife, and sighed. "Yes." "Then I shall proceed." Suddenly, Danny was hit by a brilliant flash of light, and felt like he was being torn apart. Then, it was over. Instead of Danny phantom there was just ordinary Danny Fenton. "Thank you clockwork. Even though I know you probably didn't like this idea, you went through with it anyways. You are a true friend." Danny gave clockwork a hug, knowing it was probably the last time he would ever see him. Then clockwork sent them home.

Once he knew they were gone, Clockwork sighed to himself. "I'm sorry Danny, I know you may not trust me ever again for doing this, but I know this is for the best." Clockwork knew he did the right thing. He just made Danny's powers dormant, instead of taking them away. After all, he had seen the future, and he knew Danny would be in need of those powers very soon.

I hope this is a bit longer. I will try and update as soon as possible, but i may not have time. so i'll keep you satisfied with this untill later.

Ja ne!
