Chapter One – Another Day
Another day started in Amity Park as an alarm blared on and on for attention in a certain room. A hand slithering out from a pile of blankets to silence it after a little bit. Danny Fenton turned over with a groan. Eyes already starting to slide closed when he caught sight of the clock. It took a few minutes for the time to actually register in his sleepy mind before it sent a rush of adrenaline throughout his body.
"Crud." Danny whispered to himself as he saw that it was nearly eight in the morning.
He jumped out of bed with an agility that most teens seem to possess when they realize that they are late. Phasing through of his covers as he went as he started getting ready for the day. Not even seeing what he grabbed on his way to the bathroom.
Danny had managed to get shampoo in his eyes in his rush to wash his hair. The water had barley starting to warm as he finished up. He phased the water off before starting to get dressed. Nearly falling over in his haste to pull on his pants and almost ripping his shirt.
It wasn't long before the teen found himself standing in front of the mirror. Exhausted ice blue eyes stared back at him. His normally messy black hair was sticking up in odd directions. The fifteen year old started brushing his teeth. He was wearing a light green shirt that had red trimming with a red starry sky in the center along with a pair of jeans and red sneakers.
Danny glared at his reflection as his thought wandered around his current circumstances. Why didn't anyone bother waking him up? He was definitely getting detention today except that wasn't anything new. Continuing to grumble to himself, he nearly didn't hear that someone had been knocking on his door until he heard his bedroom door open.
"Danny, are you awake?" He heard his older sister ask to his shock because she would definitely be at school right now. "Danny?"
"I'm awake." The confused teen yelled in response before he started to rinse his mouth out.
Danny thought that she had laughed before she leaving to his confusion. As he walked back into his room to grab his stuff for school. He checked his phone for the first time that morning only to discover that it was only seven in the morning.
It was way too early for him to be awake right now.

"It's nice to see that you discovered the secret to waking up early, little brother." Jazz teased him with a smile as he walked into the kitchen.
"Shut it." The teen hissed as he stalked towards the cabinets in search of something edible. He settled for a bowl of cereal.
"Did the power go out or something? My clock was off." Danny asked as he sat down at the table across from his sister. Jasmine Fenton was seventeen year old with aquamarine eyes and orange hair. She was wearing a black tee with a pair of jeans and pair of black flats.
She took a bite of her cereal before giving him a smile. "I noticed, mom and dad blew a fuse last night."
He frowned at her. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jazz just gave him a look that made him sink down into his seat. He took another bite of his dry cereal. They were out of milk since it got contaminated.
The door to the lab slammed open as their dad bounded into the living room. Their dad making a beeline for the table.
"Morning Jazzy Princess! Morning Danny!" Jack Fenton yelled in greeting as he entered the kitchen. He was wearing a bright orange jumpsuit that covered his whole body except for his head revealing a pair a blue eyes and graying hair.
"Do you two know what this is?" The older man asked excitedly as he slammed a device down on the table that looked like any of their other inventions. He didn't wait to see if they replied or not as he went off on a rant about the device. Danny immediately tuning out as he returned his attention back to his cereal.
"Morning kids," Maddie Fenton acknowledged as entered the kitchen, "you're up early, Danny."
"It can opens portals, Danny!" Jack explained excitedly catching Danny's attention except Danny didn't see how that was special since they already had the Fenton Bazooka.
Their parents explained their invention while their dad practically vibrated with energy throughout breakfast. The most that Danny got from the conversation was that they couldn't wait to test out their invention in the field.
Jazz stopped him before they went their separate ways after they exited the house. "Try to careful today."
He gave her what he hoped was a reassuring smile. "I always am."

Danny met up with his best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, on his way to school. New invention long forgotten as they started talking about the Dead Teacher series reboot.
"I just don't like how they had to change everything just because they got the funding to create a reboot. They needed to stick with their roots." Sam growled, she was a pale fifteen year old with violet eyes. Who was wearing a black middriff tank top that had the image of a three eyed owl with a pair of ripped jeans that were rolled up above her ankles and steel toed boots.
"Sam, it was bound to happen eventually since series has been going on for years." Danny tried to reason with her.
"But a reboot, COME ON! It was perfect the way it was..."
"You have to admit that the updated plot and CGI makes the movie a bit better though because it was just a B rated horror franchise." Tucker pointed out, he was a fifteen year old African-American teenager with turquoise eyes. Who was wearing a yellow turtleneck sweater with brown cargo pants and boots. The whole assemble was topped off with a red beret.
"It doesn't mean that we needed a whole new series though."
This argument continued throughout the day as Sam tried to convince the other two that the new Dead Teacher series reboot was awful.
It wasn't working.
The day had gone by without a single ghost attack which gave Danny the chance to actually focus on school for once. Before they knew it they were heading towards the Nasty Burger to hang out. That was when Danny's ghost sense went off causing his friends to tense besides him. He ran off towards an ally with them following close behind him.
Glancing quickly around himself to make sure there weren't any witnesses before he shouted. "Going ghost!" As he shifted forms, in a flash of bright white light, turning him from Danny Fenton to Danny Phantom.
Phantom was the name of his ghost form that he had gained in an accident in his parents lab when he had just turned fourteen. In this form, he had pale skin with ectoplasmic green eyes and snow white hair. He was wearing a black jumpsuit that had a logo of a 'P' inside a 'D' in the center with white gloves, boots, and a belt. His whole body gave off an unnatural glow.
Already rushing towards the direction that he knew that the ghost was in with Sam and Tucker following closely behind him. He was ready to fight only to want to scream as he was met with the one ghost he didn't want to see as he entered the building.
"BEWARE! I AM THE BOX GHOST! GHOST BOY TREMBLE BEFORE MY MIGHTY BOXES OF DOOM!" As a floating blue man in overalls, otherwise know as The Box Ghost, tried to threaten the Phantom needlessly.
Danny stared the ghost before throwing his arms up in the air. "Why is it always you?"
"BEWARE!" The ghost exclaimed before he quickly flew off in a random direction.
Danny was just about to follow him when he felt something strike him on the side so hard that he spun around in midair. The last thing that he saw were Sam and Tucker's panicked faces before everything turned to black.

This is a rewrite that I have been working on for a bit. However, surprisingly... I managed to write this chapter in about a few hours using free writing. Hooray, something that produces updates.
On the rewrite, I don't think it affects much as I only wrote one chapter so far. My updates will arrive when they arrive. Figuring that I will just write and post since if I don't do anything the story will never be finished. Which might make the writing a bit weird, sorry.
If anyone has any questions about the story, please feel free to ask me.
