I came up with this fic idea when I at school, so I decided to write it for fun, here's the full summery:

Plot: While eating at the Krusty Krab after a fight, the Nicktoons decide to get to know each other better by telling stories about how their lives were before they met. Danny tells about how he got his ghost powers, Jimmy talks about how he beat the Yolkians for the first time, Timmy talks about how he met his godparents, and SpongeBob talks about how he got his job at the Krusty Krab. Join them as they reminisce with clips from the past.

The Nicktoons' Growth Diaries

Going Hero

At the Krusty Krab, Jimmy, Timmy, Danny, and SpongeBob were sitting at a table having lunch.

"Beating Plankton and his giant robot was too easy." Danny said as he ate. "Now we can just relax."

"Easy?" Timmy said. "Of course it was easy. Did you see the way you shot that ghost ray at him?"

"I'm familiar with the way I shoot." Danny said as he smiled.

"Hey, Danny, I was wondering," SpongeBob said. "How did you get your ghost powers anyway?"

Danny seemed surprised, "You wanna know how I got my ghost powers?"

"Yeah," Jimmy replied. "I've always wondered that myself."

"Okay, well…" Danny began. "I guess it all started when my parents built the Ghost Portal. I didn't really believe in ghosts back then, but I did think the portal was cool. The only problem was…it didn't work."

"Aw," SpongeBob said disappointed. "But, how did you get it to work?"

Danny continued, "After I told Sam and Tucker about the portal at school, they wanted to check it out. I said 'no' since I could get into trouble with my parents, but they talk me into it, so I decided to show them the portal. I wanted to leave as soon as I showed it to them, but then Sam suggested I go in and check out what's inside. I didn't think it was a good idea at first, but I kinda did want to see what was in there."


Danny put on the white and black jumpsuit, and started walking into the portal.

"The inside was pretty dark, so I couldn't see that well. But it was so dark, that I accidentally pushed a button on the wall, a button that turned on the portal.

Danny pushed the 'on button' on the wall of the portal, and a green blast shot out and Danny screamed as his molecules began to change. He crawled out of the portal, only he now had a black and white jumpsuit, white hair, and green eyes.


"Whoa," Timmy said amazed. "I've never heard it like that before."

"Did it hurt?" SpongeBob asked.

"When ghost DNA merged with my own?" Danny asked. "Yeah, it can be pretty painful."

"So, what was it like now that you had your ghost half?" Jimmy asked interested.

Danny answered, "Well, it felt a little weird at first."


While Danny was eating cereal, the spoon fell through his intangible hand, when he realized what happened; he quickly hid his transparent hand behind his back.

Danny continued, "I also was a bit…shaky."

Danny started phasing through the floor until Sam and Tucker pulled him back up.

In a ghost fight, Danny accidentally changed back into Danny Fenton. "Oops, I didn't mean to do that." He told Sam.

In another ghost fight, Danny tried to shoot a ghost ray out of his hand. "Ghost ray, ghost ray," But, it instead came out of his butt. "Well, that can't be right, but it'll have to do." He shot the ghost ray at Desiree.


"You couldn't control your powers?" Timmy asked as he chuckled. "How lame." Jimmy punched him. "Ow!"

"Well, you did obviously learn better control. "Jimmy mentioned. "And you decided to do the right thing with your powers."

"Yeah," Danny said as he smiled.


Danny overshadowed Dash to crash his head into a mop bucket.

He overshadowed Tucker and said, "Hi, I'm Tucker. Don't let the PDA, glasses, and lack of muscles fool ya. I'm a stud."

An invisible Danny stuffed frogs down Dash's pants.

Danny phased out of the girls' locker room with a big grin on his face.


"Danny?" Jimmy asked.

Danny still had a smile on his face. "Yeah, the right thing."

"Danny!" Jimmy called still trying to get his attention.

Danny finally snapped back, "Huh, what?"

SpongeBob jumped up and down excitedly. "Ooh, ooh! Tell about how you became the all-powerful Danny Phantom!"

"Okay," Danny began. "It was a month after I got my powers, and I still wasn't sure whether to tell my parents or keep it a secret. But, after I used my ghost half to fight off those ecto-pusses, I thought it was pretty cool."


Danny knocked the two ecto-pusses back into the Ghost Zone without his dad knowing.

"Then, I started to remember a few superhero comics I used to read as a kid. And with my ghost half, Danny Phantom, I figured well, you know…" He chuckled, "Why not?"

"I'm going ghost!" Danny shouted before he transformed into Danny Phantom.

"Believe it or not, ghost fighting was a synch."

Danny sucked the Lunch Lady Ghost into the Fenton Thermos and closed the lid.

"After a while, I started to get the hang of my ghost powers."

Danny transformed into Danny Phantom and flew off. He shot a powerful ghost ray toward Bertrand, put up a ghost shield to guard against Vlad's attack, turned intangible for the knives to go through him, used the Go Ghost Stinger to save Wulf, used his Ghostly Wail on Dark Dan, duplicated into three when fighting Vortex, and froze all of Undergrowth's weeds with his ice powers.


Danny had a calm smile. "And that's how I went from a struggling kid with ghost powers to a hero."

Jimmy, Timmy, and SpongeBob looked amazed.

"Wow," SpongeBob said with a big smile. "I never would've thought you were bad at using your ghost powers."

Danny looked embarrassed for a bit. "Well, I wouldn't say 'bad', but it was a little tricky at first."

"Gee, it must've been hard being normal and then having your life suddenly change like that." Jimmy guessed. "Of course, I've been a genius my whole life."

"Yeah right," Timmy said in disbelief. "You couldn't have been a genius your WHOLE life."

"Well, I naturally didn't realize my genius gene until I was four," Jimmy admitted. "But, I still had the knowledge that made me a genius."

"What was it like being a genius your whole life, Jimmy?" SpongeBob curiously asked.

"Well, it was pretty interesting." Jimmy began. "I guess it started when I first moved to Retroville when I was eight."

Next time, Jimmy will talk about his life in Retroville before the Yolkians showed up, and when he beat them. Be sure to review on what you think.
