Danny rushed from the school, his ice blue eyes looking for one girl in particular. It was the last day of school and he had only seen her once that day and it had possibly been the worst viewing of all time.
"Damn it, where could she be?" the halfa inquired out loud as several of his peers loitered the large front lawn of Casper High. As he was shoved from behind he growled only to find Paulina. The Hispanic had been his crush for such a long time, but then he had found out a few things about the girl in question that he had not known and none of them were very flattering. For one she was as shallow as Sam, his best friend, had called her. At first it had been an accident, but after that Sam had refereed to her as shallow on a daily basis. Danny had found it rather annoying until one day he had caught Sam and Paulina behind the school a couple of years ago. The Goth girl had been on the ground, her knee scrapped as Paulina had stood over her, but Sam had not cried and she had never told Danny what had happened that day not knowing that he had seen the very end of the exchange.
Flashback
"I know that you like him and after all that I have found out I think that I will date him," Paulina said with a giggle. "That would make me the most popular girl in the world."
"You need to back off!" Sam had warned. "Danny doesn't need someone like you in his life!" The Hispanic had smirked as she kicked Sam in the chest.
"Oh, honey, have you forgotten that Danny loves me and not you!" Sam had looked crestfallen for like two seconds before regaining her look of detachment. Danny had almost stepped in at that moment, but Sam had grabbed the Queen of Casper High and yanking had pulled the girl down to her level.
"You think that he is dumb and that he wouldn't see through your scheme. Danny is smarter than anyone gives him credit for."
"He could be as dumb as a brick wall and I wouldn't care," the Hispanic hissed. "He's a superhero! I would be like Lois Lane with her Superman! Everyone one would envy me while he fights to protect me from every evil that would come my way! He already worships me as I am, but he would wait hand and foot on me just to make me happy!" the dark haired teen gloated. Sam punched the other girl before getting up.
"Danny would never do that!" Just then Dash showed up, his teal eyes taking in the squabbling females.
"You need to lay off each other," the blond jock stated as he grabbed Paulina's arm before dragging her away from the irate Goth.
End of Flashback
"Hello Danny," the dark haired girl cooed. She had been trying to get him for a while now, but he seemed immune to her charms now. He was probably pissed about the incident earlier that day, but that was okay. He would forgive her now that the Goth was out of the picture. The Hispanic grabbed his upper forearm, his body stiffening under her hands. "It's okay. She's gone now. She understands that we are together now." Danny growled as he yanked his arm out of her grasp causing the popular girl to gasp out. The movement around them seemed to stop at his next words.
"Paulina, you and I will never be together. You are a shallow and hateful bitch and I just don't see me dating someone like that, much less waiting hand and foot on someone like you." He stormed off as someone called out that they had caught it on tape while others applauded his dis to the most popular girl in high school. Where could she be? Suddenly he felt a vibration in his left pocket. Turning Phantom he pulled the small phone out of his pocket. "Hello?"
"Danny!" Tucker yelled. "Sam's parents just called looking for you!" That was unusual for the Mansons. They hated him or at least her father did. Her mother had warmed up to him, but that was beside the point. As the wind forced his hair back and made Tucker sound lower in volume then he really was Danny asked him why. "Sam came home and then just as quickly she left. She took a few things with her in her purple spider backpack."
"Damn! She's running?" This was odd. Sam never ran from anything, well, almost never. After today he wasn't so sure.
Earlier That Day
Danny sat at their usual table as the others around him droned on about another boring day. It was the last day of school and most people were talking about their summer vacation while the seniors talked about what they were going to be doing with their lives. Danny knew what he was doing. He was staying in Amity Park to help his parents. He had done the whole astronaut thing and found that was not the path he wanted. He would continue to help fight ghosts while helping his parents with their many inventions. Tucker was still mayor and seemed that he would continue to be after his graduation. He knew what people wanted and over the years had found him less selfish, though not entirely, and more in tune with others. He was dating Valerie, who upon finding out that Vlad was a ghost using her as a pawn as well as finding out that Danny was a ghost that was helping protect the world, was quite content with a male who did not have ghost powers. Sure, she had liked him at one point, but didn't want to be more than friends after really getting to know Tucker. As for Sam, he wasn't sure what she was planning since she herself wasn't really sure. She knew that she wanted to leave her parents, but she wasn't sure what she was going to do and where she was going to go. She had implied that she would like to help Danny in his ghost catching as Tucker really had no time for that with his soon to be full time job, but at the same time she seemed quite hesitant in committing to that idea. As he waited for his friends who should show up but Paulina.
"Hey Danny," the teen said as she slid in next to him. He frowned at her. He really had no feelings for the Queen Bee of their High School. He had grown out of her and found that she wasn't really what he had wanted. She had been a crush and nothing more. He was looking for someone more like... "Danny. I wanted to ask you something," the Hispanic girl whined to get his attention. He turned just in time for the teen to lay her lips right on his. Danny sat there in shock before he heard a tray behind him clatter. Shoving her off he found Sam running from the lunchroom with a very pissed off Valerie and Tucker standing there.
"Sam!" he had called out only to find that his friends wouldn't let him pass. "Tucker," he growled.
"You finally did it," the ghost fighting teen stated, his teal eyes flashing. "You threw her for a loop and let her crash and burn." Valerie nodded. Now he was confused. They hadn't seen the whole thing and they were pissed. He was a million times more pissed as he shoved them aside only to run into Lancer.
"I don't know where you are going in such a hurry, Mr. Fenton, but it better be to class." The bell above them rang alerting all to the fact that they still had class even if there were no real classes for the day.
Back to Present
This was not good. What did he do now. Just then a crash sounded below as a taxi was t-boned by a red sports car that was being followed by several flashing lights. Screams filled the air as someone yelled out, "Is she all right?"
