So, here it is: the sequel to Never Trust a Teacher.
I don't own Danny Phantom.
'You've let yourself go, Lancer.' He thought, switching his gaze between an all-too-truthful mirror and a happy photograph of himself and his old girlfriend, Liza. Liza was a nice girl, tall, thin, and with long brown hair the colour of dark chocolate. The only thing that had a semblance of a flaw was that she had one tooth higher than the rest. If somebody took a look at her then and him now, they'd have wondered how in the world he'd landed a girl like her. But back then, when they were together and happy, he hadn't been bald, or overweight. He had been lean and skinny, with a head full of shaggy black hair.
He had broken up with Liza only a few days before he'd moved out of town and back to his old hometown, Amity Park. She'd been hurt and confused; he hadn't given her any reason as to why he'd left. It wasn't even a month later that he'd tried to drive back in hopes of explaining everything-inner turmoil and all-and maybe even getting back together. But the old town of Krikket was gone, having disappeared without a trace. And wherever he looked, he couldn't find anybody he'd known there either.
He had a theory why; most likely, after the one thing that had kept paranormal threats away from the public had been taken away by force, ghosts had overrun the town. And the same people that he'd called in concern for the safety of fourteen year old Jaden Glass didn't have a choice but to evacuate the town, and somehow make it disappear off the face of the Earth.
And so any and all chances of Rick Lancer getting back together with Liza Mailencho were gone.
I know, I know, it's incredibly short, which is sort of unsurprising, considering the length of the chapters in Never Trust a Teacher. However, the rest of the chapters will be relatively normal length.
And while I really, really hope that it's been made obvious from my writing (which I...sorta doubt, but you tell me) I need to point out something that you really need to pay attention to before you read the rest of the story or else it will NEVER make sense. That thing is: I never said Danny's name in the prequel to this. The only name I mentioned in that story is Mr Lancer. So...guess who Jaden Glass is?
