I don't own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman does. I also do not own Disney or Mickey Mouse or any other character owned by them. Please do not sue me. I am a teenager who only has a computer and likes Disneyland and Danny Phantom, and decided to write a fic. DON'T SUE ME. I do own this story, though.
Danny and Jazz excitedly watched the green streetlights go by, hotels and motels of all sorts right by, with restaurants decorating the streets- some good, some bad. While this didn't seem like such to be excited about, you didn't know where they were.
Anaheim, California.
In other words? The town of Disneyland. After the whole 'world-is-going-to-go-bye-bye' incident, Maddie and Jack decided they needed a vacation after the whole thing, as well as it might be a nice reward for Danny.
Disneyland fit the bill. As Jazz had told Danny beforehand when they was trying to help his parents decide a place to go, that if they were going anywhere at all with the word 'Disney' in it, it'd be the one ending in 'land'. Naturally, the whole family at blinked at that and questioned Jazz why they'd rather go to the smaller park, rather than the one in Florida. Jazz had stubbornly said she'd rather not walk through a huge park in hot humidity. Before Danny had a chance to offer the use of ice powers to keep them cool, Jazz said 'no'.
In any other case, they were there. The city was large- obviously a tourist-y town. Wherever you turned your eyes, there was a hotel, a shop, or a restaurant there. Danny and Jazz's admiring of the place was stopped by their father's booming voice.
"Alright, gang, we're here!" He said, stopping the car. As they stepped out, they breathed in some of the air, stretching. Danny looked around the parking lot full of cars from other states, all staying at the motel they were at. He smiled as he gazed about the city. Jack smiled.
"I'll be right back. I'm gonna check in. You guys stay here." He said, and was about to leave, before Jazz stopped him.
"Uhh, dad, can I come along?" She asked, secretly worried about him embarrassing the family one way or another while he was in there. Jack beamed at her.
"Of course, Jazzerincess!" He said, putting an arm around her and walking with her toward the check-in. Danny and Maddie were left. Maddie smiled at Danny.
"Well, this is going to be fun, won't it, sweetie?" She said. Danny nodded.
"After this whole business with the asteroid, I needed this. Ughhh. And to be away from Tucker when he realizes that you need to be eighteen to be mayor..." He said with a chuckle. His mother giggled a little, too. He also looked a bit sad and disappointed.
"I really miss Sam, though." He said. Maddie gave a small 'aww' and hugged him.
"I'm sure she misses you, too, sweetheart. I'm glad you have such a good girlfriend. Though, we all knew you two would get together- your father and I even bet on how long it would take for you two to get together." She paused. "And he won, getting the closer time, so I payed him by making butterscotch cookies." She said. Danny turned quite red at that, and she laughed.
"Oh, Danny, no need to get tomato-red! We all knew it was gonna happen! And it's fine, you two make a cute couple-"
"I will cringe right now due to embarrassment." Danny said. Maddie looked proud.
"Then I have done my job of making you feel successfully awkward today." She said, giving him one last pat on the back as she saw her husband and daughter coming back, with a paper in Jazz's hand. Jack looked a little red while Jazz looked satisfied with herself (probably due to the fact she had asked for the room and key while Jack wasn't quite sure how to ask it without involving ghosts, like Jazz had warned him beforehand on the way in).
"Room 234." She said. Jack's red face went away when he saw his son's. He grinned and gave a high-five to Maddie, while their son groaned and his sister looked sympathetic. Danny turned to open the G.A.V., went in, and came out a few moments later holding most of the bags.
"I would get them all, but my arms can only fit so many." He said behind the wall of bags. Maddie and Jazz went back in to pick up the remaining bags, while Jack took a few from Danny. His father sighed.
"Thank goodness we got a motel. It's much easier to get to your room." He said. Everyone nodded (though Danny's nod was hidden by the wall of bags in front of his face).
Upon getting to their room, Jazz pulled the room key from her pocket and stuck it in the door, opening it. As they stepped in, Danny dropped the bags next to the wall, and they admired the room.
It wasn't anything too fancy compared to some other places, but it was perfect to them- it had two double beds with a fancy wooden head, with red comforters and just as red pillows. An archway to the right of the beds turned the floor's carpet into white tiles as it had a sink and closet there, with a fridge at the side with a microwave on top. A door was next to the sink- the bathroom, they guessed. In front of the beds was a fair-sized T.V. on a faux-wood table. A table between the beds had two lights hanging on the walls with one next to each of the beds, and on each bed there were towels shaped into a swan. Next to the T.V. was a complimentary fruit basket, and as Maddie picked out the greeting paper left taped to it, she read it.
"To the Fenton family- we thank you for picking our wonderful motel for your Disneyland vacation. We hope you enjoy our continental breakfast here as well as easy access to the Disneyland park. We're proud to have the family who saved Earth staying here- we hope you enjoy your stay!" She said. Danny smiled.
"Well, that was nice of them. So, when can we go to the park?" He asked. Jazz rolled her eyes.
"Danny, our passes aren't even good until tomorrow." She said, crossing her arms. Her brother (and Jack) looked disappointed for a minute. Maddie giggled.
"Wow, 'like father like son' is correct here." She said. Jack gave a proud look at his son, while Danny cringed.
After going out to eat, the sun was beginning to slowly go down in the sky, day leaving and night coming. The Fentons had unpacked their stuff already, and they all sat in the beds, Maddie and Jack taking the bed on the left, and Jazz and Danny (reluctantly) shared the other bed. They sat apart as much as they could, without falling off the bed. Jazz was reading while her parents and brother watched T.V..
A loud BOOM outside surprised them, and as they peeked out the window, they saw fireworks above the park not too far away. Jazz smiled.
"Oh, right. Disney does this every night in summer, if I'm correct. I'm not sure if they do it the other seasons." She said. Her family nodded and continued watching the fireworks, their rich colors and explosions, occasionally in a creative shape, such as a smiley face or Mickey head.
After they were over, they stared at the smoke left by them hanging in the sky for a minute, before Danny yawned.
"I think I'm gonna go turn in. Night." He said, turning around, going back to his bed. His family muttered a 'night', before crawling back into their own beds, Jazz and Danny still keeping their distance. Jazz shortly fell asleep after Danny, turning out their light.
After watching one more episode of the ghost-hunting show Maddie and Jack were watching, they too, fell asleep, turning out the light, leaving complete darkness to cover the room.
Tomorrow, the day held adventure...And one surprise for Danny and his folks...
