1: Harsh Discovery

Danny-

It took all of his will power to keep from screaming. All his concentrated energy to keep from letting out a cry of rage go rushing out his mouth. He just couldn't believe this was happening; right now; this very second.

"How could you?" He managed to say so softly you can barely hear it.

Danny Fenton, the world's most popular super hero known as Danny Phantom the ghost boy, is now just watching his own girlfriend Sam Manson kissing another boy. He couldn't understand what he had done wrong to have Sam go off and be with another boy.

Danny felt disgusted right to his stomach to see his used be girlfriend kissing some other boy he had never really seen before. The memory of that kid who used Sam was coming clear into his mind once again. But this was different.

Danny had thought when they had kissed on that day of the crater nearly destroyed Earth, he and Sam will forever be together…but now…THIS happens…

Not wanting to see more of this go on, Danny came of his hiding place and marched over, looking very angry and sorrow, "Excuse me…" He said in a loud enough voice to cause the kissing couple to jump back.

"Danny?!" Sam cried, looking both shocked and embarrassed at the same time.

"Sam…" Danny growled slightly before glancing over at the kid Sam was making out with.

He was a Goth kid, wearing black studs, chains, and he looked fine…maybe to Sam's taste at least, "Sam…um…I thought you told me you broke up with Danny already…" the kid said, turning his attention away from the angry ghost kid.

Sam gulped, "Well…I did…sort of…" she was speechless and Danny could see she was trying to ponder on what to do next until she glanced over at the kid, "Um…can you excuse us for a moment, Tyler?"

"Sure…I'll catch you later, babe…" Tyler nodded before walking leaving Danny and Sam alone.

Sam sighed before turning to Danny who literally shaking with impulse rage, "I know you want an explanation…" Sam said looking really depressed.

"Sam, how could you?! Why on earth would you go off, and make out with some other boy I don't know, when you've already got me anyway?!" Danny cried all in the same breath, causing Sam to back up slightly.

"Truthfully Danny? Because…I don't know…the whole you being a superhero just isn't my style…I try to get my head around it…seriously…but…I just know that our dating thing would probably NEVER work out," Sam explained, hoping Danny would understand; he was silent and she continued, "When I met Tyler…well…I don't know…my heart raced out for him…I just…I meant to break up with you first before going out with him…but I guess…"

"You started cheating on me…" Danny stated with a slump.

"I'm so sorry...really I am!" Sam said as she tried to put her hand on her ex-boyfriend's shoulder, who in return jerked away.

"Sam…I don't want to talk to you…if it's Tyler you want to be with…so be it…I'm going someplace where I don't have to see you…" Danny mumbled as he turned around to walk away.

"Danny?" Sam called, feeling sorry she hurt Danny's feelings this way, but he snapped,

"Leave me alone!" He cried before rushing down the hallway of the school, "We're through! I don't want to see your face ever again!"

Danny felt appositely hurt right down to the core. He felt both hurt and angry of everything that has happened to him…His girlfriend…the girl he thought he loved…was cheating on him. And now…they were no longer a couple. Why in the world did this happen?"

He slowed to a walk before letting his head fall to his chest before marching on. Danny never felt so upset in his entirely life. Why?

Bam!

Danny gasped when he bumped head on into someone and he fell to the ground in agony. He shook his head and glared at the one person to dare to bump right into him at his most depressed moment.

It was Star; the blonde girl who hung out with Paulina. She too was on the floor and she put her hand to her head before opening her eyes which were aqua like the ocean before her expression went from pain to annoy.

Danny didn't wait for her to open her mouth so he stood up and said, "Watch where you're going will you? I've got bigger problems to worry about than see you!" Danny marched off leaving Star now in surprise.

Star-

Star was late. She wanted to make early class before she got detention…again. She rushed down the hallways of Casper High as fast she could. She wondered if she had everything, so she looked down to see if she had all there is in her bag when…

Bam!

She cried out in both pain and surprise before falling harshly to the ground right on her bottom. She rubbed her sore head and opened her eyes to see it was none other than Danny Fenton aka Danny Phantom, world's greatest superhero.

Star became annoyed that he will be willing to collide right into her and she opened her mouth to say something when he stood up, looking thunderstruck, "Watch where you're going will you? I've got bigger problems to worry about than see you!" Danny spat before marching past her and walking off.

Star was now speechless…she normally never heard him say anything like that. Not even to her. She wondered what his deal was. She got up slowly before dusting herself off before going on her merry way.

She wanted to focus more on what's happening in class, but the image of Danny looking upset kept pushing its way back into her mind. She wondered slightly on why he was so upset for one thing.

Star sighed and tried to concentrate on the lesson being held today…but her stupid brain kept going back to Danny…why? Just because she found out he's a superhero now, doesn't mean she started liking him. She still finds his parents to be freaks for one thing. And she knew for all intention purposes, he was going out with Sam Manson. But her curious mind wondered on why he was angry this morning.

It couldn't be because they ram into each other head on; because accidents happened right? Besides…he did he had bigger problems.

Her stupid conscience kept bugging her all day. Maybe you better find out what is wrong with him… Star shook her head so hard, it made her long silky blonde hair fall in her face. Grumbling she pushed her hair off her grill before walking off to the next class. She tried to ignore that annoying little voice. But it kept telling her to find out what was wrong with that half ghost boy.

On the last period of class, Star gave up to her conscience and decided to find out what was wrong with Danny, "But that's it…" She mumbled as the last bell rang.

She got up to walk out when she heard, "Hey Star!" She turned to see her friend Valerie Gray rush up.

Star, happy to have a distraction to keep her mind off of Danny, smiled as Valerie walked up to her, "Hi Val…what's going on?" Star asked.

"Nothing much, but I'm just curious if you heard the latest?"

"What latest?" Star questioned.

"That Danny and Sam broke up," Valerie asked.

Star gasped as she snapped her head to stare at her friend, "They what?"

Valerie frowned; since she still harbored feelings for Danny Fenton, but she was too afraid to try to go out with Danny again, "Yeah…didn't you hear?"

"No…although he and I bumped into each other early this morning…" Star mumbled.

Valerie frowned even more as they continued to walk down the hallway, "Yeah well…Danny caught Sam cheating on this Goth guy named Tyler…rumor has it Sam got tired of him…or something like that…" Valerie went on.

Star frowned at this…no wonder Danny look so upset this morning; she turned to Valerie, "That would explain why he yelled at me…"

Valerie sighed, "Break-ups are harsh yeah…but listen I need to run…my dad is waiting for me…" Valerie started to run down the hallway before waving, "Bye Star!"

Star waved back slightly before she went down the other hallway to take the main doors. She now knew of Danny's unexplained anger. But something else still bugged her…her natural instincts of the kind person she could be told her she needed to at least comfort Danny.

Star stopped in her tracks, "Uh…no way…" She said shaking her head, "What is with me? Just because he's now single? For crying out loud…" Star became angry with herself and started to march down hallway, cursing and mumbling.

She flung the doors open and was about to walk down the steps when she stopped in her tracks to see Danny Fenton sitting on the steps, moping… Star stared as she stood there. She had hoped to avoid him…she gulped and got ready to past him when he turned to upwards.

Their eyes met, and Star took notice how icy blue Danny's eyes were. She had to admit, he had beautiful eyes. But her common sense made her get back to reality and his harsh voice too…

"What do you want?" Danny asked before turning back.

Star glared, "Excuse me…this is not your office. I'm just going home…" Star walked past him and started walking off with her nose in the air.

She didn't even look back. She half expected him to call her back and apologize, but she heard nothing. She snorted and continued walking when suddenly…

Wires came out of the ground and flew high in the air. Star gasped as they flew around her head and suddenly wrapped tightly around her. She started to scream in both pain and fright.

Danny-

Danny was on the steps of Casper High, feeling appositely miserable from what had happened today. He thought about he bumped into Star that morning. But it didn't stay long since all day long, he was just too upset about Sam to think about that blonde hair girl.

However, he heard soft footsteps come behind him and stop. He turned to see it was none other than Star herself. For a moment, being the sweet kind hearted boy he was, he wanted to apologize to her for what he had said to her that morning. But his anger at Sam got the better of him and he said harshly like before, "What do you want?"

He heard a snort before he heard Star answer just as harshly, "Excuse me…this is not your office. I'm just going home…"

Danny frowned as he watched Star walk off with her nose in the air. He rolled his eyes when suddenly he felt his ghost sense go off, "What in?"

Suddenly Danny gasped as he saw wires come out of the ground around Star and wrap around her like a python. The ghost boy halfa watched in shock as Star start to scream in pain from the electricity and the lack of space.

"Ah ha! I Technus now will rule the world!" Danny moaned to see the Technology ghost come into view.

Danny turned into his ghost form and flew up to Technus, "Hey Technus!"

The ghost turned before meeting a fist come in contact with his grill. Technus shook his head and glared to see Danny, "Well…if it ain't the ghost child! Be careful what you do!" Technus pointed at Star who was helpless at this moment, "She could die at the snap of my fingers!"

Danny frowned before turning to Star, who couldn't scream anymore because wires had covered her mouth; the boy halfa could see her aqua eyes were full of fear and his heart went out slightly for her, even though he hardly even knew that girl.

Danny turned back to Technus, looking determined, "Let her go Technus! I don't even know her!"

"Really? But I thought every person's life was important to you! Oh well…guess I will kill her!" Technus snapped his fingers and Danny gasped to see Star was beginning to lose air as the wires wrapped around her tighter.

"Star!" Danny cried before flying over to her and started to blast the wires.

But nothing seemed to affect them. The boy halfa was running out of time. And he can see Star was starting to lose conscious from the lack of air. Danny glanced at the wire and got an idea. He took a bit of it and ignored the electricity before he pulled as hard as he could. And the wires unwrapped around Star like toilet paper.

Once the wires were off of her, she started to fall and Danny caught her just in time. He flew to the ground to set her safely down. As he set her down, her eyes flickered open and she managed to choke, "Why…?"

Danny smiled, "Technus is right about one thing…I wouldn't let anyone die…even if I don't know you…"

Star blinked before Danny turned to fight Technus.

Star-

Star never felt more frightened. As the wires tightened around her, she felt fearful at realizing she could die. She watched as Danny and Technus argue. She couldn't hear what they were saying, but she did hear Danny Phantom say, "Let her go Technus! I don't even know her!"

Star felt more some reason slightly hurt by that, but the wires around her tightened even more and she felt herself black out; before she heard a, "Star!"

She was sure it was Danny Phantom who said that before she found herself waking up in the arms of Danny. She was both surprised and relieve. She was glad she was alive, but she wondered why he saved her, "Why…?" she chocked.

She watched as he smiled; and she thought she felt her heart skip a beat when he did, before he answered, "Technus is right about one thing…I wouldn't let anyone die…even if I don't know you…"

She stared into his glowing green eyes and felt embarrassed, but he flew off to beat that ghost who had put her in harms way. She watched in amazement; she also took notice Danny's hard muscles flexing underneath his hazmat suit. She felt warmth spread across her cheeks and realized she was blushing. She shook her head and watched as Danny sucks that Technus in with the Thermos.

She stood up as Danny flew back down and turned human, "You ok?" He asked, out of concern.

Star stared and nodded, "Yeah…um…thanks…I guess…"

"No problem…it's what I do…" Danny smiled sadly before walking off.

Star stared after him; she nearly called him back, but she stopped herself. He had saved her life…and she was glad…but she wondered…why does she care?
