Note: This story is an AU where Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom are separate individuals. Also, this fic will focus on the shipping Pitchpearl (Fenton x Phantom)
Consonance
Danny leaned closer to the screen, watching the music video of his idol intently with a wide smile. The song rang in his ears as Phantom strummed the electric guitar and leaned towards the mic. The scene switched as the lyrics changed, he stood at a payphone as rain poured down. He sighed as Phantom was suddenly in a restaurant, an empty seat across the table. The song faded and before he could click on another video by the artist, an ad caught his attention.
"Danny Phantom performing on April 26 in Chicago, Illinois. Tickets available now!"
The teen perked and rushed to the link. Chicago wasn't too far away and if he couldn't convince his parents to drive him then he could walk but he had to see a concert of Phantom's, especially when he had the chance! He clicked the link and a new window popped open. Scrolling down, he grinned. Tickets were still available! Hastily, he typed in the required information but hesitated when he had to enter the credit card information. Distantly, he heard the video finish.
"...tour with Ember McLain!"
"This is Mclame." He muttered and rolled off the bed and onto his feet. His parents were bound to refuse, but he had to try.
"Mom? Dad?" He wandered out of his room and down the stairs. Passing through the living room, he entered the kitchen and opened the door to the basement lab. "Mom?" He called.
"Down here, sweetie." His mother returned.
Cautiously, he trekked down the steps. Experiments gone haywire tended to be drawn to him and since he'd rather no show up at the concert black and blue, he warily entered the lab.
"Hey, mom? I was wondering..." Maddie didn't look up from blowtorching her newest ghost hunting weapon but she did hum in acknowledgement. "Could you buy me a ticket to Phantom's concert in Chicago and maybe drive me there too on Saturday?"
The blue jump-suited woman sighed and placed the blowtorch aside. "Danny..."
"Please, mom," he cranked up the puppy dog eyes, "I've never been to a concert before, it'll be a new experience!"
He'd never been to the Dumpty Humpty concerts despite liking their music and the fact that they had visited the town. The tickets were expensive, much more than Phantom's. As for Ember, he liked her music too but she'd never visited Illinois.
She hesitated. He added a pout. She caved. "Oh alright, but only once and this Phantom better not be a ghost!"
He grinned eagerly and withheld a snort. For all his parents brilliance, they couldn't seem to realize that ghosts weren't real. Their failed Ghost Portal and lack of any ghostly evidence was proof enough. Regardless, he was going to see Phantom! he nearly cheered as he rushed up the steps and soon busted into his room, snagged his laptop, and returned to the lab. Maddie smiled slightly as the tabletop was hastily cleared by her exuberant son. The laptop was placed down onto the recently cleaned spot and the boy turned to her with an excited grin.
She quickly scanned the requested info, internally reading. Location, time, age requirement... I can't believe he's already 16. She nodded and typed in the credit card numbers, clicked enter, and double-checked the presented ticket. Her son may have been a teen, but to her he was still her baby boy.
"Alright, Danny, but," the boy stiffened, 'buts' were never a good sign, "you have to wear the Spector Deflector at the concert."
He stifled an exasperated sigh and nodded. Ghosts weren't real but if his ticket to seeing his idol in action was a girly belt, then he would wear it... for awhile. He could bring his backpack and put the belt in there after he was out of his mother's sight. Of course, he'd need the key...
"Thanks mom!" The boy chirped, took his laptop, and rushed out of the basement.
Saturday couldn't come soon enough.
