Prom Night

Heya Fans!

Once again the plot bunnies have attacked me! This time a different group of bunnies decided to bite me! This time, it's Danny Phantom!

I've been a fan of the show for a while and started watching the episodes again recently and it made me remember how funny, action packed and sometimes dark it was for a cartoon show, often referred as Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Ghostbusters.

I've got another Danny Phantom fic that I've started writing yet that won't be posted until at least before Halloween, but as I was writing it, I thought I'd write what you would call a teaser fic to get you prepped for that upcoming fic.

Hope you enjoy it, and let me know how I did!

Chapter One

Preparation

Sam Manson

"Oh Sammykins?"

I rolled my eyes at the nickname, I'm used to it, but I still feel annoyed, but there's no point telling mum that, she never listens.

"Yeah?" I called back.

"You ready for me to do your hair now?" mum's cheerful voice called from behind the door.

"Yeah!" I called back and mum swept into the room, her face beaming as she entered my domain, well technically, my bedroom.

"Oh my little princess!" Mum gushed "It's finally here! The prom! The best night of your life!"

Normally I'd be groaning at such formal events, but not today, in fact I was just as excited as mum was.

I had finally reached the end of High School and it was the night of the prom, then after that, graduation.

I had been looking forward to the prom for a long time, not just because I was finally leaving High School, nor the fact that this was the night all students looked forward to, but because I was not going alone.

I had been to school dances before, but normally I wouldn't have a date, mainly because all the boys were interested in other girls, especially the Head Cheerleader and Queen Bee Paulina Sanchez and her girl posse.

But it wasn't just any boy I wanted to take me to the prom, it was a boy I had feelings for, for as long as I could remember, at least since I first starting realising such feelings.

Danny Fenton, I've known him since 2nd grade, and we had grown up together and gone through many trials and tribulations, including many adventures teenagers wouldn't comprehend in their wildest dreams!

Now he was taking me to the prom as an actual date, rather than just joining me as a friend. He was going to meet me here so we could go to the prom together.

Mum sat me down in front of the mirror and began to comb my hair, I had let it grow in the past four years and it now came to my waist.

Feeling the comb go through my hair, I felt relaxed.

I used to not like it when mum did my hair as she would try and do it in a girlie cute style, but in recent years we had started to grow close as she had decided to pay an interest in what I liked and I had started to experiment more with my style rather than stick to one thing.

As a teen, I had always been into Goth culture much to her and dad's chagrin who had wished I had been a girlie girl and liked pink.

Mum said I used to love that stuff when I was younger, though I don't remember much of it, oh well, I must have been too young, all I do remember was wanting to wear a black dress to Danny's 7th Birthday and since then I had decided black was always going to be my favourite colour, that and more since I discovered I loved the Goth culture and the rock music!

Before long, she did my hair in loose curls and put some of it up so it was off my face then let me start on my make up whilst she went to get my prom dress.

I was especially excited about the prom dress as I had designed it myself. In fact when I had designed it, the designers mum had paid to make the dress had commented that it was a unique style.

Mum soon brought the dress to me, and I couldn't help but fall in love with it again.

I had designed it so it was a black and white lacy corset with a white skirt with black mesh and lace skirt that opened to reveal black and grey hot pants underneath.

I had been so excited when the dress was finally finished and couldn't wait to wear it, as well as see how Danny would react to it, as well as the rest of Casper High School.

In fact, I had enjoyed designing the dress so much, I had decided that after High School I would do a degree in Fashion Design as well as Environmental Studies.

I never imagined I would get so interested in it, but as well as designing my dress I had become rather fascinated in what Gothic looks I could create as well as design clothes that were animal-free and kind to the environment.

Mum helped me into my dress, and I couldn't help but feel my smile creep up on my usual sullen Goth face.

I felt like a true Gothic princess, part of me wondered why I didn't design a dress like this when Casper High had held that Beauty Pageant set up by the Dragon Ghost Dora four years ago, but then again I was rebelling against it's rules before realising it's true purpose.

As well as my unige dress, I wore sheer grey tights and knee high lace heeled shoes along with black fingerless gloves and a lace choker with jet stones.

"Oh Sammykins!" Mum wept as she looked into the full length mirror "You look so pretty!"

"Thanks mum!" I said, my own tears threatening to spill, yet I held them back not wanting to make a mess of my make-up.

"Your Ghost Boy will be so pleased." mum gushed "I'm so glad he chose you as his date! Couldn't think of anyone better than Earth's Hero to be my daughter's Date!"

I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes.

Four Years ago, mum and dad had disapproved of Danny and the Fenton's, especially because of their status and their so-called weird ways, and they had thought Danny was a bad influence.

But since Danny saved the planet with his ghost powers against a Meteor that was about to collide with Earth they had totally changed their tune about him and his family.

In a way it was embarrassing as I guessed they wanted to be friends with the Fenton's since their son had become an overnight international celebrity and was now one of the wealthiest and most famous people in the world which meant it would raise their status and reputation, but it was also a relief that they weren't going to try and steer me away from the man I loved so I decided to not complain.

After checking my make-up again and making sure I had my other accessories, I was ready and it was good timing as I heard my dad call up the stairs.

"Hey Princess!" he shouted "Your Prince Charming has arrived!"

I rolled my eyes at how dramatic that sounded, but my heart beat fast in my chest as I realised that Danny was waiting for me.

"Good luck Sammykins! Have a wonderful time!" mum said kissing my cheek then gently pushing me out of my room to head to the staircase.

On the way out, I saw my grandmother on her scooter, her eyes sparkling.

"Awww!" she said "My beautiful Gothic Cinderella ready for the ball!"

That comment made me blush as well as want to cry and I hugged my grandmother close.

"Thanks grandmother." I said "I'll tell you all about it when I see you tomorrow!"

"Have a good time!" Grandmother said with a smile and tears glistening in her eyes "Dance! Make Merry! Now off you go! And have a magical night!"

"I will!" I said kissing her again before heading to the staircase, where I knew my date and boyfriend was waiting.

Danny Fenton

I twisted my fingers as I stood at the bottom of the staircase, waiting for Sam Manson to emerge.

I had made sure I looked my best for this special night, for this was the very night!

Sure we had been on many dates since we confessed our feelings to each other on that hill four years ago, but this was going to be one of these nights to remember forever.

Despite everything, I was nervous when I rang the doorbell of the Manson's mansion and seeing Mr Manson answer the door I felt I was going to phase right out of my tuxedo!

But luckily the man let me in and said he would call for Sam.

When he referred to me as 'Her Prince Charming' I felt so awkward, I could feel myself get hot and bothered and it was already a very warm evening!

I had spent a long time getting ready, which is usual! Even for me! But I wanted to look my best.

In fact, Jazz had helped me get ready and had given me some tips on making this a great night.

I had gelled my hair so it still looked like is regular mess after fighting Ghosts if not a bit more presentable, and I was wearing aftershave.

I quickly wiped the sweat from my forehead and looked up at the staircase to see when Sam would appear, I wasn't sure what she would look like for the prom, but I knew that whatever she dressed in, she would be so beautiful in my eyes.

Hell! Even in her everyday gear she looked gorgeous.

Before long, my eyes widened and and had to take every once of my willpower not to let my jaw drop to the ground.

There she was, Sam Manson, all dressed up and ready for the prom and walking down the stairs, my proper Gothic Cinderella.

I was especially impressed with her dress! The way it showed off her long graceful legs under the open flowing skirt and how the corset defined her curves and her toned shoulders, seeing how it was designed and analysing it's colour scheme I knew that it was a homage to her Ghost hunting skills and my colour scheme as my hero's alias Danny Phantom.

Mr Manson was just as stunned as I was, seeing his daughter all dressed for the prom, and I could see tears in his eyes as well.

"Samantha!" Mr Manson gasped as he hugged her "You look so ravishing!"

"Thanks dad!" Sam blushed then looked across to me.

"Hi Danny." she said.

"Wow..." I said finding my voice as she walked up in front of me and blushed slightly "You look amazing!"

"Thanks!" she said pushing a stray hair behind her ear "You look great too!"

I could feel myself get hot and I was soon struggling what to say.

"So, you ready to go?" I asked.

Sam nodded and I held out my arm for her which she took gratefully.

"Don't worry Mr Manson!" I said to he father as he watched me "I'll take care of Sam!"

"I know you will my boy!" Mr Manson replied "You've looked after her so far, and I trust you, being Amity Park and now Earth's Hero and all!"

Sam grimaced a little and I felt awkward.

"Thanks sir!" I said as I walked Sam out the door "See you soon!"

We soon made it outside, and Sam looked slightly confused as they was no transport for us, but little did she know this was one of the surprises I had planned.

"Um, how are we gonna get to the prom Danny?" she asked as she looked around.

"Simple!" I winked then I shouted my catchphrase "Goin' Ghost!" then Sam gasped as she saw my transform into my Ghost form.

I smirked then held out my hand to her which she gratefully took, her eyes were sparkling and she looked excited.

"You're going to fly us there?" she asked.

"Sure!" I said "What better way to take my girl to the prom?"

Sam chuckled and she turned back to her house where her father was standing at the door looking at us in awe, and I could see her mother and grandmother watching from one of the upstairs windows, both had their eyes wide and Sam's grandmother was beaming and clapping her hands.

Feeling like the heroes I read in the comic books I gently pulled Sam towards me and scooped her into my arms before taking off into the air carrying her like a bride.

As we flew above the city, Sam waved to her family as they watched in awe then wrapped her arms around my neck so she was secure.

I could smell her perfume, that sweet natural lavender scent.

"Hold tight Sam." I said as I held her tighter, "I got you, I won't let you fall!"

"I trust you Danny." Sam whispered as she snuggled into him "I always trust you!"

"Then let's get to the prom!" I said then shot off over the city, hoping to give Sam a few minutes of an early evening flight before we were to meet the rest of our High School peers at the Prom.

And that was the first chapter! Hope it was a good read for you!
