Yay! New story!

Yes, this one is actually after PP. To tell you the truth, I wrote this chapter last year, so sorry if the style isn't exactly as good and a few characters are OOC.

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Danny Phantom . It's owned by the N-Ni...that word.


Danny wasn't a typical kid. He was one of the only three human/ghost hybrids in the universe. Also, for the past two years, no one knew that he was half-ghost except for his best friends, Sam and Tucker, along with his sister, Jazz, and all of his enemies. No one knew about the other two hybrids either, except for those who also knew Danny's secret. Danny had been protecting Amity Park from ghosts ever since he was turned into half of one by stepping into a non-working Ghost Portal on a dare from his best friend, Sam, and accidentally turned it on, fusing his DNA with ectoplasm. Did I forget mention that he wasn't just any ghost, but the Danny Phantom? A little while ago, though, an asteroid made of a substance ghosts can't touch called Ectoranium headed on a crash course for Earth. After gaining back the powers he got rid of due to their great burden, he ended up saving the entire planet. After that, he revealed his secret, that Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom were one and the same. His best friend, Sam, finally became his girlfriend, his best friend became mayor, and it seemed like happy ever after, but that's where you're wrong. Little did he know that his life was about to get harder.

School was on temporary break so that everyone could get themselves together. It was less than a week ago that everyone discovered his secret. Danny walked into his room with Sam and Tucker, collapsing on his bed with his best friend and girlfriend sitting next to him.

"Have fun running from all those fans?" Sam asked jokingly.

"Tons." Danny replied sarcastically.

Just then, a helicopter appeared outside his window with all of the occupants shouting at him excitedly.

"Don't you people ever give it a break?!" Danny yelled as he hopped out of his bed and ran over to close his window and make sure no one could see them. He dragged himself back to the bed tiredly before falling onto it once again.

A ringing noise came from Tucker's pocket. He took out his cell phone and started to talk on it.

"Hello…yeah…well, okay…be right there…bye." He hung up. "Guys, I have to take care of some mayoral business. Sorry, bye." Tucker told them sadly as he left the room, running to city hall.

"Guess it's just us." Sam observed.

"Looks like it." Danny responded.

The two shared a smile and leaned in to kiss when Danny's ghost sense went off. The half-ghost sighed as he tilted his face away from Sam's approaching lips.

"Sorry, Sam. Duty calls." He apologized.

Danny transformed into his ghostly self, Danny Phantom, and took off. Left behind was a slightly depressed Sam. The night of the ceremony had been one of the best nights of her life, when Danny had asked her to be his girlfriend. Since then, they hardly got any time together. Danny was always running off somewhere to do something or other and when he actually got time with her, the fans and paparazzi ruined it. Sometimes, she wished that it was back to just her, Tucker, and Jazz who knew. Actually, she wished that all the time now. It was nice that she didn't have to play girlfriend for only one half, but what good was that when they couldn't be together at all?

Outside, Danny was faced with Skulker. The helicopters had taken off when the ghost appeared.

"Hello, whelp." Skulker greeted with an evil smirk.

"Skulker." Danny returned in the same tone. It held neither anger nor happiness nor sadness. It was just, plain and cold. "Back so soon?"

"Of course. Like I said; I'll never stop hunting you." Skulker replied coolly.

"Give me your best shot." Danny challenged.

"Oh, I intend to." The robotic ghost agreed.

The fight had started. Danny planned to take out all of his frustration on this ghost. Everything that had built up in the last week, it was all being let out. Hello, misplaced aggression. Danny fired rounds of ecto-blasts before Skulker could even fire his first shot. When the ghost did get around to it, Danny simply blocked it with a shield and let out a fury of sharp icicles. The stakes of ice penetrated the ghost's suit. Skulker looked at his damaged suit.

"Ruining another of my suits? You're going to regret that." Skulker hissed.

"You're going to regret coming here in the first place!" Danny shouted, flying up to Skulker and punching him as hard as possible. It was enough to push the robotic specter back and dent the metal of his suit.

"Hmmm, this is unlike you. Since when are you this mad?" Skulker commented.

"Since I needed to find a way for all of my built up frustration from the last few days out and, lucky you, you're my punching bag right now." The ghost boy responded.

Danny froze Skulker's arm and blasted it off. He sent another ghost ray at it before it hit the ground, completely obliterating it. Skulker summoned large guns from his shoulders, but Danny blasted them off before he could do anything. Danny sent out another round of punches before knocking the head off of Skulker and removing his tiny form.

"Ah, much better." Danny sighed, holding the small green blob by its legs.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Skulker claimed as Danny sucked him into the Fenton Thermos.

"Sadly, I probably haven't." Danny remarked.

The boy returned to his room where his girlfriend was waiting for him. He flew up above the bed and changed back, letting his body fall onto his bed. Sam gave him a soft smile. It had a certain sadness to it.

"Now, where were we?" Danny asked teasingly.

He and Sam both leaned in for the kiss. They were only inches away when…

"Sam, you have to go home now!" Jazz shouted.

They both sighed and dropped their heads with dissatisfaction. Sam slowly stood up and headed to the door. She waved softly.

"Bye, Danny. I'll see you tomorrow at school." Sam said with a slightly depressing tone.

"Bye, Sam." He waved back in the same, sad way.

Sam turned and walked out of his room. He stared at the spot that she had been only a few minutes before. A new figure jumped into the scene; a tall, red-headed girl. Jazz.

"Hey, Jazz." Danny greeted miserably.

"Hey, little brother. Mom and Dad wanted to know if you were ready for school tomorrow." Jazz informed him.

"Define 'ready'." Danny joked wearily.

"I'll take that as a yes. Are you okay? You seem a little…depressed." Jazz inquired.

"It's just…my new life isn't as great as I thought it would be. I can't get two seconds alone, Tucker always has mayor duties, Sam and I hardly get to be together, and all of the reporters and fans are getting annoying. I can barely have a personal life!" Danny replied unhappily.

"It will get better." Jazz comforted. "They can only be interested in one thing for so long. Eventually, they'll move on."

"I hope." Danny prayed. "I never thought that I'd actually miss being ignored. Ever since I became Danny Phantom and created that secret, I've only complained about how it ruined my life. Now, I see that the secret was the only thing keeping my life in check and stopping all of this from happening."

"You wish that you had your secret back, don't you?" The soon-to-be psychologist questioned.

"More than anything in the world." Danny replied.

"Just don't forget; you have friends to help you make it through this." Jazz reminded him, stepping out of his room.

Danny sat there once again, going over his thoughts. It didn't matter what anyone said, no one could comfort him right now, and no one could assure him that everything would get better.


So, now I'm telling you all that I think Danny's life would be miserable after Phantom Planet. Although, I guess that you already figured that out. -Sigh- They need a season 4.

Review please!
