Here is a new story of mine, Life On The Outside. Note: this is a DF/DP story so if that offends you, then don't read it. And, Danny is 16 here.

((Danny's P.O.V.))

As the noise outside grew, I felt Phantom pull me inside. I knew his was invisible. Ever since my secret was revealed, Phantom stayed invisible whenever we went out. We had been separate since the day the world found out my secret. My parents weren't home. They hardly ever where home anymore. Jazz had left for college earlier this month. So for the past few weeks it had been mostly just me and Phantom.

With a sigh of relief that I'd escaped the crowd, I sat down on the couch. Phantom sat down beside me and placed his arm around me. I cuddled up next to him. It had been 3 months since everyone found out, but the memory was still as fresh as if it happened earlier this morning.

Flashback

((No P.O.V.))

Danny was weak from lack of sleep. Ghosts had kept him up the past few nights and by now he was so tired, he could fall asleep standing up. His ghost sense goes off again. With a heavy sigh Danny looked around before going ghost. Danny flew up to be face to face with Vlad. And he didn't look happy.

A large ecto blast was aimed at Danny. Danny put up a shied and the blast was sent away. "Is that all you got!"

Vlad smirked and sent out another blast. This one hit Danny. He put a hand over his side. Lack of sleep was causing him to lose focus on what was going on. He knew he'd better get his head in the fight or he'd lose. Why a crowed gathered, Danny didn't know, but sure enough, a group of people stood by. There weren't many, maybe 15 or so, but they were standing by, watching.

Danny looked down on the crowed only to be hit by another blast. He moaned in pain while he tried to tell himself to pay more attention. He turned to Vlad. "What do you want!"

"Oh dear boy, you know what I want." With that he fired another blast. Danny jumped up and avoided it. Between lack of sleep, and the two hits he took earlier, he hoped the fight would end soon, he didn't know how much longer he could hold out.

"I WON'T join you, not now, not EVER!" Upon saying ever he lost control over the ghostly wail and it was let out. Before he realized what had happened, he already felt himself turning human.

Danny stopped the wail as quick as he could. He managed to stop it before he went back to human. Vlad was weakened as he was hit, but now Danny was weaker. With barely enough strength to stay standing, Danny threw out an ecto-ball. It hit Vlad. Vlad only grunted his pain as he shot another blast at Danny. Too weak to move the blast hit him.

Danny fell back to the ground. He hadn't turned human, not yet anyway. But he now knew that this is what Vlad came for, to reveal his secret to the world. So he'd weaken Danny into joining him. He felt Vlad's foot land on his chest. He groaned in pain. "Since you won't join me, I'm going to make your life horrible." Vlad told him as he hit him with a blast. A weak one, but strong enough to change him back to human. Gasps went up from the crowd.

Summoning up all the energy he could, Danny took himself inside. It didn't take long, a few hours and already most everyone heard about what happened. That Danny Fenton was Danny Phantom. The news spread to his parents. His parents were disappointed. They left that day, and didn't come back for another week. His sister watched him. It was during the first week he separated from Phantom. Mostly so that when he did meet someone, he wouldn't be able to go ghost.

But as the second week was ending, he found himself growing more than glad for the time spent alone with Phantom. He was the only one that knew exactly how he felt. It was nice to have someone that understood.

End Flashback

As the weeks turned into months, Phantom and Danny's friendship turned into more. With only Jazz around for most of the summer, it left the two of them together most of the time. Danny's parents were often gone. Always saying that they were out to find the ghost that ruined Danny's life. Danny never knew if they meant Plasmius, or "Invisobill".

Jazz went to college earlier that month. In the last 3 weeks Danny's parents had been home for all of 3 days. Sam and Tucker still came around, but at home, it was just Phantom and Danny. Sam and Tucker still did not suspect anything. In fact they didn't even know that they were separate. They had been back in school for just a week, but already Danny wanted out. The attention was unbearable.

Paulina was all over him. Before he would've jumped in joy at this. But now, it just annoyed him. Dash still didn't hesitate to beat on him. He figured that if he had powers before, but still didn't hurt him, then he wouldn't hurt him now.

Danny would just mumble that he was lucky he had separated himself from Phantom so he couldn't fight back with powers. Tucker didn't notice anything different about Danny, but Sam did. Sam noticed that as much as possible Danny avoided her and Tucker. And that when she asked about home, he stuttered and avoided the question.

((Danny's P.O.V))

Finally we had made it home from school and were back at home. As usual, Mom and Dad weren't home. I cuddled up next to Phantom on the couch. It had become our usual, cuddling after school. It was these moments of calm after a hard day that I looked forward to. Things were doing a bit better. Everybody wasn't as crazy about the secret or ex-secret as they were at fist. But still, it was crazy.

In the last few days Phantom had become more, flirty. Like today. Phantom turned at looked at me with love in his eyes. Running his finger down my chin he placed a soft kiss on my lips. This wasn't the first time he'd kissed me, and I didn't mind. He pulled away. I longed for more and I could tell he did too. Our faces were close enough that I could feel his breath on me still.

I felt his arms snake around my waist. He pulled me onto his lap. I wrapped my legs around his waist. The moment would've been perfect, had I not heart my dad's loud shouting outside. Fearing he'd walk in soon, we quickly separated. Phantom disappeared to the bedroom, leaving me to face my parents.

The door swung open and my dad stormed in. He didn't seem mad, but more upset. He was always like this when they came back. They never had any luck. This was the times I hated most. I couldn't be seen around Phantom when Mom and Dad were home. But, I knew that they'd be gone again in the next week. So, I could deal with them being home for a while.
