Do not own Danny Phantom.
Also, thanks to my beta, Westward to Alliot, for betaing and suggesting how to make my stuff look better

Danny's left eye twitched visibly.
Of all the things that could happen, this was the most frustrating ever.
Not only he was trying to juggle school, homework, protecting the city from ghosts, escaping a wide number of people for various reasons AND keeping his secret identity a secret, now there was something else that had been thrown into the mix without his agreement.
"What?!" Danny Phantom's sudden outburst cracked several windows along the street he was floating in.
Ignoring the destruction caused by the teen ghost and Skulker's recent fight, the Member of the Council floated forward and, before Danny could protest or refuse, shoved two items into the boy's chest and retracted quickly.
"The Council must abide to the ancient laws," the councilor said with a stoic voice. "You have defeated Pariah Dark, and as per custom, you shall be bestowed with the Crown of Fire and the Ring of Rage."
How the High Council of the Ghost Zone had managed to recover the powerful ring that had ended up being locked within the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep with Pariah Dark was a mystery to him, but apparently they had found a way.
Danny held the two powerful ghostly items out and shook his head. "No. I already have problems of my own. I don't need more."
But before the boy could give the Ghost King's insignias back and officially refuse the 'job', the ancient ghost disappeared into thin air and left a bewildered Danny floating in the middle of a deserted and destroyed street, hands holding a burning crown and a shining ring that he never wanted anything to do with the first place.
Twitch…
School, homework, protecting the city, avoiding people for various reasons, keeping his secret identity and now Ghost King…
What was next?
An explosion shook the ground and Danny turned around in time to see a rogue appliance - a washing machine, if he was correct – float out of a house and make its way down the street.
"I, Technus, Master of Technology and All Things Electronic and Beeping…"
Twitch…
That was it. Danny Phantom was going to get a vacation from all the madness that seemed to fill his life.
