So a new fanfic and a new story. This fanfic starts roughly a month after the events of Phantom Planet. I thought of this story as I was interested of how things would be like after Danny revealed his secret.
I'll forewarn you, this story takes a long time to get "started" and that is because it focuses on two things. Danny adjusting to being famous and then how do the Guys in White react to him being half ghost.
The first two chapters are a little like a prologue but it's also in a way the start of everything. You'll see what I mean.
So, oh yeah, I don't own Danny Phantom.
And on with the story.
Danny sat in his dressing room, staring at himself, sadly. The make-up artist had just left. Danny missed being at home. He missed being able to disappear into a crowd. He wanted to spend time with his new girlfriend, Sam. He wanted to play Doomed with Tucker. He'd even settle for a normal day at school at this point. But things had changed once his secret came out. The disasteroid had come and gone a month ago and things still hadn't settled back down yet. He had to be dramatic and show everyone at the North Pole. He could have asked for a private room and shown his parents, but no. He had to be a show off and reveal his secret to everyone.
Danny scowled at his reflection. He hated wearing make-up, but after a while he had given up protesting against it. He sighed forlornly. Sam had been right. He'd been really busy since his secret came out. He had had to dodge fans everywhere he went as Fenton or Phantom. All his classmates were overly nice to him, it freaked him out. Reporters took to following him, hoping to get an exclusive.
Danny smiled at the memory of his PR agent hiring herself. Yuna White. She had arrived one day the week after the statue unveiling ceremony and knocked on the door. Jazz had answered the door and Yuna had barged right in. Dark short hair, pressed pencil skirt suit and high heels.
"Danny! I can call you Danny, right? Pack your bags! I got you a spot on a talk show in Chicago," She shouted up the stairs. Danny emerged from his room, completely perplexed.
"Talk show? Excuse me, who are you?" Jazz asked.
"I'm Danny's PR agent, Yuna White," Yuna introduced herself and gave Jazz a firm handshake.
"I didn't hire a PR agent," Danny informed her cautiously. He had grown very wary of strangers like Yuna since reporters had attempted to corner him.
"Of course you didn't. I took the job without you needing to ask. Now hurry up, the plane leaves in an hour," Yuna told Danny firmly.
"Danny can't just go to Chicago! He has school and responsibilities here. Besides our parents haven't agreed to any of this and Danny is a minor," Jazz argued on a frazzled Danny's behalf. Yuna raised an eyebrow. Then marched off to the kitchen without asking.
"Mr and Mrs Fenton, can I have a word?" Yuna called down to the basement lab.
His parents had started work on making sure none of their weapons targeted Danny now that they knew why they did. They used the Boo-merang's data to get Danny's ecto-signature and input that information into all their weapons. It was taking them a lot of time. Yuna walked into the lab and took out a document and a pen.
"I'm Danny's PR agent, Yuna White and I need you to sign this document to give me permission to take Danny to a talk show in Chicago," Yuna told them and handed them the document expectantly.
There was a knock on Danny's dressing room door.
"Ten minutes until the start of the show, Mr. Fenton," A female voice called to him. Danny didn't answer. There was no need, she'd already be gone. Danny stood up slowly and made his way to the door. This was the tenth talk show Yuna had arranged. He'd made guest appearances on so many shows, Danny had lost count but Danny knew this was the tenth talk show because Yuna had remarked on it. Danny had complained in the start about doing all this publicity stuff but Yuna just told him that it was better to do these shows and give the people what they wanted rather than reporters trying to find a story to print. Eventually Danny gave up on arguing with Yuna. His parents stayed in Amity Park to deal with the ghosts that attacked with Sam and Valerie and occasionally Tucker, if he had the time.
Danny still hadn't spoken to Valerie about him and Danny Phantom being the same person. Honestly, he didn't want that conversation. Danny and Sam hadn't spent much time with each other since the "big reveal", people called it. At least Sam was understanding. Danny called her every chance he got. Sometimes she couldn't answer but when she could they'd talk for as long as possible. Enjoying each other's company even if they weren't physically together.
Jazz had taken the month off school with Danny and helped him keep up to date with his school work and was in contact with Mr. Lancer and their principal on an almost daily basis. She became his tutor as well as only the source of normalcy during the last few weeks. Yuna insisted on taking Danny on a tour around big cities to appear on different TV shows and everyone always watched him. They looked at him sometimes with awe, sometimes with disgust and sometimes with a little of both. But Jazz treated him as he was, a normal teen who just so happened to have ghost powers. He was always her little brother and Danny was grateful beyond words for the support she gave him. She could handle Yuna. Danny often got confused and ended up doing whatever Yuna suggested, but Jazz didn't.
Don't get him wrong he liked Yuna. She could be funny and interesting to talk to. But when she wanted something, there was no way Danny could talk her out of it. Only Jazz could manage to talk Yuna out of taking Danny to appear on shows he didn't want to be on or pushing himself too much. However Yuna had gotten Danny to agree to this talk show before Jazz could intervene. Danny really didn't like the guy hosting this show. The show got a lot of viewers, which is why Yuna got him on it, but the host always managed to twist whatever the guest said to sound worse than it was. Some talk show hosts were like that. They asked the difficult questions and put words in his mouth before he could correct them. However some were cool and were way more understanding. They spoke to Danny as a person and asked how he felt about his powers and how the town had reacted to him. With one last steadying sigh Danny opened the door and walked out of his dressing room towards the stage. Better get this over with.
So mainly a quick overview of how life is treating him recently. The next chapter will be the talk show and it'll show how much he has had to grow to adapt to the new experiences.
So, until the next chapter.
