The ground was cold. That was the last thing I remembered before blacking out.

Earlier that day.

"Danny it is time to wake up!" Jazz sang as she came into my room. She proceeded towards the window and opened up the blinds. Unfortunately, it was a bright sunny day. The sun burned my bright blue eyes.

"Ughh, Jazz, do you have to do that every morning?" I grumbled.

"Danny you and I both know that you would not get up if I did not force you." She smiled at me.

"Whatever." I mumbled under my breath. I pushed my way in front of Jazz and headed to the bathroom to get ready for school. I glanced at the clock that hung in the hallway. Was it really almost seven-thirty? I better hurry this morning.

I took a quick shower and towel-dried my hair. I knew combing it would do nothing to help the messiness. Whatever I did to it, it still stood up on the top of my head and into my face. I spread deodorant on and put a typical outfit on consisting of a t-shirt and light jeans. Sam was always telling me that I needed to spice my usual outfit up a bit and try something different, but I liked what I wore and I am not going to change it.

I went downstairs to the smell of eggs and toast. Yuck. I hated toast, and I was not a huge fan of eggs. Especially if my mom made them. I went to the cupboard and pulled out of box of cereal. I poured it into a bowl.

"Danny, remember that I want to see you do well in school so don't be late!" My mom ordered me as I chewed my cereal. My mom always wants me to do well in school. Something about being the son of two scientists kinda puts a lot of pressure on your schoolwork. Plus Jazz was always getting good grades and had good studying habits. I mostly just wanted to go through the day without getting hit by Dash Baxter.

"Yeah mom, I know." I rested my chin on the palm of my hand.

"Sweetie," she grabbed my chin and made it so I had to look in her eyes. "It is okay to tell me when I am being hard on you. I would not be upset if you told me I was." She half-smiled.

I did not want to tell her that I felt pressured. It would break her heart if she found out that I wished she would just leave me alone.

"No mom, I am fine." I told her. But if I did not move I was going to be late to school! I grabbed my purple backpack and ran out of the kitchen. "Bye mom, love you!" I shouted to her on my way out.

Once out on the street, I ran to an alley. Not looking, I changed into my alter-ego, Danny Phantom. I then flew to school at, well, I would say almost 112 miles per hour.

Nathan POV

Every time I see her all, my heart melts and I just want to be with her for the rest of my life. She is as beautiful as a Greek goddess sent down from Mount Olympus by Zeus himself. She walked with the essence of a graceful swan flying over a peaceful lake.

It is Valerie. She is the love of my life. I would do anything to be with her, just to hear her speak with the smoothness of a steady stream gliding over a small pebble. I love her.

I was thinking all this as I walked to school. I only lived about two blocks from Casper High where I was a freshman. On my way, while thinking about Valerie, I saw Danny Fenton running down the sidewalk on the other side of the street. Danny was also a freshman at the same school as me.

Normally, I did not mind Danny. But nowadays, I see him with Valerie more and more. And it irked me. They flirted nonstop in the hallways, during class, and at lunch.

They always leave class at the same time too. They both ask to be excused or to go to the restroom. I know they don't really go there because I went shortly after them once and neither of them was anywhere to be seen. I even looked in both bathrooms. They probably went to some obscure place to make out or whatever. These thoughts stewed in my soul and reveled there.

Anyway, I saw Danny Fenton running into a dark alley. I wondered what he was going in there for. Maybe it was drugs or something dangerous.

I proceeded to the alley and peered around the corner. I could not believe what I saw! Danny threw his arms up in the air, and muttered something about ghosts. Then he turned into one. And immediately I recognized the ghost he turned into. It was none other than the so-called hero of Amity Park, Danny Phantom!
