Haven't written a fic in years but in honor of one of my top five favorite shows 10th anniversary I finally picked up a pen and wrote a short drabble for that lovable dork we all love, Danny Phantom
Had a few ideas to choose from, finally settled on this one. I'll post the others after revising them later :3 (I have them all written down in a notebook and waiting basically) I have a list of ideas
Also, hello! Sorry it's been so long, I haven't been inspired to write any fics at all. But when rc9gn came out and the season finale came and went I had the urge again. Re-watching Danny Phantom helped.
So! Enjoy!
Discovery
It's been roughly two days since Danny stepped into the portal. Sam and Tucker, informed by Jazz, had been visiting after school for hours on end until they were forced to go home by their calling parents. They were the only two Danny had told, he wasn't planning on telling Jazz as she'd worry her brains out and he definitely wasn't telling his parents. Whether it was the small fear they'd hunt him down or the guilt he'd feel because they would blame themselves for inventing the thing that technically killed him, he kept his mouth shut.
In truth, the fear of being hunted down was brought about by Tucker. He was the first of the trio to pipe in the theory that Danny was half-ghost after he had relayed his story. Danny knew Tuck hadn't meant anything bad by it, it was just a cool theory he had. And Danny hoped it was wrong and that he was currently just hallucinating.
At the moment, though, he had the feeling he wasn't dreaming. Currently, he was home alone because his parents didn't want him to strain himself, thinking he might have contracted some kind of "ecto-poison" from the portal; of which they were elated it worked. Jazz still had to go to school and his parents had left to by more supplies for the lab in eager anticipation to build new hunting equipment. This portal was a huge break for their ghost hunting careers and in their field of paranormal science. Danny had to admit, even if the rest of the science world laughed at them for believing in ghosts, he was happy they were finally going to be recognized by somebody for their brains in a field they enjoyed so much instead of their other endeavors. However... floating above his bed didn't really give him a good idea of a future living in a house of ghost hunting parents.
He was trying to calm himself down. He had, after a while, been able to calm down for a moment before and floated down a little before floating right back up again when he noticed. He needed control to calm his powers down. He was picking up on that little tick already.
Eventually he was back on his bed again. But the fun didn't stop there, of course not. He randomly turned invisible- quite frequently, actually. And then his skin would turn blue and his arm would phase through whatever it was leaning or lying on. He'd drop things from the uncontrollable invisibility and have to say it slipped. He'd randomly walk through a wall and end up in the next room or even outside. His breath would become cold and he'd see it just as a ghost flew by or came near. Something he'd lovingly coined his "ghost sense".
At the moment, though, he was trying trying to figure out how to at least try to control these new powers.
His favorite part wasn't the residual powers, though, it was the transforming into a real ghost. It was an odd feeling, having those rings of light wash over him and suddenly he's a different entity in the same body. It felt like water, really. He wasn't quite sure how to explain it, but water was the closest he could come to. With his other half he could fly, not just float. And he felt like he had a sense of power forming up in him when he transformed.
But, as the days passed and he wasn't breaking any ground nearly as fast as he would've hoped, Danny began to realize this annoyance of no control was going to last much longer than he would like it to.
On the bright side - these powers were fun as hell
