A super short little story for you. To anyone that reads my fic "How It Happened and a Tape" I'm really sory for not updating. Just let me get through school and then I'll work on it again. There will probably be one or two more chapter left. Anyway, enjoy!


Zero to Hero

A Danny Phantom short story that is set before "Phantom Planet."

Summary: Danny reflects on what it's like to lead two lives.

Have you ever noticed that the difference between being a hero and a zero is one little letter? I have. I find it amazing how much of a difference that one letter can have. For me it's the difference of being shoved in a locker to being chased by mobs of people that want your autograph.

Unfortunately, I get to experience both of these. Sometimes I think about giving up either one or the other. I think about whether I would want to always be a hero or a zero. Being shoved in a locker or chased by fans. Call me crazy, but neither sound too appealing.

That's always the first excuse I come up with when I wonder why I keep doing what I do: leading an impossible double life. Then I realize that I just can't give up the hero. It's a part of who I am. I also couldn't give up the zero.

Although I haven't been a true zero since the accident, I just can't bring myself to give up that small sense of normality in my hectic life. Each time someone calls me a loser I just roll with it because I know that in only a short time they will all be falling over their feet trying to get my autograph before I pull a disappearing act. Sometimes I begin to laugh at the irony of it all. That's when I get demoted to freak.

You see how my life is? You think you understand what it's like to be a zero and a hero? Well you don't. Nobody does. I'm not complaining though. Sometimes I think I'm happier with this life of lies. Just as long as I'm doing some good I can live with being misunderstood.

Do you still think you know what it's like to go from a zero to hero?

THE END


I made this a while ago so I don't really care if you don't like, but no flames please. I'm not really in the mood to laugh at annoying reviews at the moment.

In other words:

Review or I'll sic the E-VIL BUNNEH OF DOOM on you.
