Chapter 1
From the minute 14 year old Daniel Fenton woke up that morning, he knew something was about to happen, and he could sense it wasn't going to be good. He managed to get up and get ready for school without difficulty, but at the breakfast table his parents were talking loudly and fast. "I know there's something going on in the Ghost Zone, Maddie, I can feel it", said Danny's father, Jack Fenton. His mother, Maddie Fenton, looked a bit worried. "I know there's something happening, too, Jack, but I'm not sure what". Danny also knew there was something going on, for he hadn't battled a single ghost for about a week now. There hadn't been any disruptions in the Ghost Zone, either. It just seemed really strange; usually he battled something, but not lately. Stealing a quick glance at the clock, Danny quickly grabbed his books and ran out the door with a quick good-bye…..
As Danny quickly approached the school, he saw his 2 best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, walking up the steps into the school. "Hey you guys, wait up!" he called out to them. They stopped abruptly, waiting for Danny, who had begun running towards them. "Hey Danny, what's the rush?" asked Sam. As usual, she was dressed in a black and purple skirt, top, and had on dark make-up. "Nothing, but I do have some interesting things to share with you. It's about the Ghost Zone". Both Sam and Tucker raised their eyebrows in curiosity, but Danny was hurrying towards his first class of the day. The last thing he needed was to have a detention under his belt when he really needed to solve the mystery of the Ghost Zone.
"Danny!" a familiar voice called out to him. Danny looked behind him, and saw Paulina, the most popular girl in the school, running towards him. "Hey Paulina, what's going on?" he asked, feeling a bit suspicious as to why she was suddenly talking to him. "Oh, not too much. I was just wondering if you were going to Homecoming or not." She looked a little nervous, but happy to see him. "Umm, I'm not sure yet, I've been thinking about it, though. Are you going?" "Actually, if you, umm…..well, uh,…if you don't have a date….I was kinda wondering if you'd like to, uh, go with me?" Danny didn't try to cover his surprise. Paulina looked sheepish. "Well, I know your probably surprised, but I've been thinking, and I really kinda….like you, Danny." Sam and Tucker were standing right behind Danny, looking really surprised. Especially Sam, who looked like she'd sat on a tack. "Well, uh, sure, ok, I guess I'll go to Homecoming with you, Paulina," said Danny. "Great. So, I'll talk to you later then?" "Sure thing. Bye!"
Danny began walking toward his first class again, not even caring that he would probably be late. The most popular girl in school had just asked him, Danny Fenton, to the biggest dance of the year, next to Senior prom. And not to mention that the guy is supposed to ask the girl, not the other way around. "Danny, wait," called Tucker. Sam followed behind him, looking mad. "Jeez, Sam, what's wrong with you"? asked Tucker, who had turned around to make sure she was following. "Nothing, I'm fine, can't you see that? Why don't you just go talk to Danny about 'Paulina' and leave me alone!" she yelled, and stomped off to their first class of the day.
Danny sighed, remembering last time he'd been to a school dance with Paulina. Sam had also gone, and she'd had an ok time. Paulina thought that Danny and Sam were going out, but when she found out they were only good friends, she broke up with Danny. Unfortunately, the amulet Danny gave to Paulina, who gave it to Sam, had been cursed and when people got mad, it made them turn into a big, angry blue dragon. He'd had to stop Sam's rampage and save people at the same time, and that dance had pretty much been ruined. Danny could most certainly see why Sam didn't like the fact that he'd said yes to Paulina, but what he couldn't understand was why Sam wasn't willing to give her a second chance…….
I'll try and get my second chapter up A.S.A.P.!
