Hello Fanfiction lovers,
I made a new story! (people claps in the background) And I hope you like it. It took me a week to think of a good idea for a DP story and this is it. Special thanks to dpluver for inspiring me!

"How did you get me involved in this again?" Sam asked in her typical boring voice. Her head leaned on her arm with an unhappy look pasted on her face. It was the middle of Spring with Danny, Sam and Tucker soaring high in the cloudless, blue sky in the Spector Speeder. The day was the perfect to take a walk in the beach or the park but no. The trio's decision was difficult to make but they finally decided to spend their weekend together at the Comic Book Convention in Florida.
"Because this weekend, I promised you two we'd spend a fun weekend together!" Danny reminded her, mindful of Tucker's feelings. He hated to have to see Sam depressed all weekend. Danny has been planning this weekend for days and he didn't want to spend it with a miserable look on his friend's face.
"Yeah, but why did we have to go with Tucker's idea of fun?" Sam crossed her arms with annoyance written all over her face.
"Tucker won rock-paper-scissors against me." Danny admitted, showing a bit of disappointment.
"I told you; I never lose at that game." Tucker bragged proudly. Danny and Sam both rolled their eyes, obviously irritated by Tucker's boasting and not impressed.
"Look guys. It doesn't matter where we're going. The only thing important is that we're doing it together. This is a chance to, you know, hang out instead of ghost fighting all the time." Danny explained enthusiastically.
"I guess Danny's right. What's the point of taking a break when we spend it fighting with each other?" Sam agreed reluctantly.
"Yeah, look on the bright side Sam. I heard John Hayman is gonna be there!" Tucker squealed like a little girl.
"Who's John Hayman?" Sam and Danny both said in unison along with a questioning look.
"I cannot believe you two. John Hayman is like the best comic book writer ever!" Tucker exclaimed excited.
"That explains it." Sam mumbled then went back to glaring thoughtlessly out the window.
LINE BREAK...
Danny...wake up! Danny vaguely heard the voice. "Five more minutes mom." Danny mumbled in his deep slumber. Danny heard the voice clearer as it repeated. Danny! Wake up! Danny's eyes immediately responded to the voice by opening wide open. His body jolted up from the seat.
"Where's the ghost!" Danny blurted out and was on high alert. Instead of finding a malicious ghost out destroying his hometown, he found his two friends bursting out in laughter. Danny's mind reminded himself he was on a break, not ghost fighting.
"This is... why we need... a break." Sam giggled in between her words while Danny couldn't help but join his friends while they laughed. Maybe this would be a good weekend after all! When the laughing frenzy stopped, Tucker informed Danny they arrived at the Comic Book Convention. The three friends pushed and shoved each other, struggling out of the stuffy Spector Speeder to breath some fresh air after eight hours.
Once the three teens finished refilling their lungs with fresh air, they directed their gaze to the giant entrance to the convention along with lots, I mean lots of nerds; dressed as if it were Halloween. Danny recognized the convention to look like the one he saw during their search for the reality gems except the place was bigger with way more geeks.
Tucker's look said it all. His reaction appeared like a little kid who just got his favorite video game for Christmas. He couldn't smudge the silly grin off his face if he tried. The place was paradise for Tucker but punishment to Sam. Sam's expression seemed as if she was about to puke but held it back. Fun weekend, fun weekend, Sam's brain was focused on having positive thoughts.
Tucker rushed through the parking lot looking desperate to get in line to the convention as fast as possible. On the other hand, his friends laid-back and strolled calmly through the parking lot. When the three of them gathered together in line, Tucker couldn't stop moving. He either jumped up and down uncontrollably or giddily giggled. He couldn't be calmed down when he was this excited. Bystanders looked at him oddly while some held back a laugh or smirk. Danny and Sam noticed people in line slowly backing away from the wild Tucker.
The two clueless lovebirds gave out a huge sigh of relief when they reached the front of the line. The guy who spoke through the window to collect the tickets (I don't know what that person is called, sorry) saw this as normal as he kept his bored face intact while Tucker kept on being jittery.
When they finally got inside the convention area, Sam and Danny gasped and gaped at the crowded Comic Book Convention. They never actually had a chance to stay in a geek convention and examine it. Almost everyone there was dressed up and it was more crowded than the last convention. Obviously enough, most people they saw posed as the one, honored and well-known Danny Phantom. Danny couldn't help but giggle at some of the ridiculous outfits people were wearing. Some were Spiderman, Superman and other fictional heroes and others were just plain stupid; Danny saw one dressed as an octopus.
As nerds passed by, they shot a disgusted look at the threesome; noticing they weren't dressed up. Others were just shocked a girl was in the convention. Tucker was determined he was in heaven. He instantly grabbed a costume from his backpack and showed it off to his friends.
"Behold. I'm gonna be dressed as Aqua Man!" Tucker announced dramatically.
"You brought a costume?" Sam asked not surprised.
"Actually, I brought three Aqua Man costumes. If you want-" Tucker was immediately interrupted by a "NO!" from Sam and Tucker in unison.
"Sorry Tuck, but there is no way I'm walking around in one of those." Sam said firmly.
"Yeah, um, I'm gonna have to agree with Sam." Danny scratched the back of his neck nervously. He didn't want to wear the stupid costume but he also didn't want to hurt Tucker's feelings. Thankfully, Tucker just smiled and stuffed the extra costumes back in his bag.
"Suit yourselves. I'm gonna get changed. You two lovebirds can walk around and check out this awesome place. I'll catch up later." With that said, Tucker immediately sped off to the washroom to change.
"WE'RE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Sam and Danny called back in unison but Tucker already rushed off.
Danny and Sam were left alone in the middle of a busy convention. They looked at each other with an expression saying "what should we do now?" They figured they had no other choice but to check out the convention. Danny and Sam looked around the place like it was a different planet. Comic book stands showed everywhere, famous comic book writers came to sign autographs for the huge line of giggling geeks and there were scattered groups playing Pokemon or Bakugan or... something. It was a nerd's dream come true.
Sam continued to stare at the place in disgust. Danny didn't mind the scene but the look on his face says he would rather be elsewhere. The two companions barely noticed they were holding hands! Danny and Sam eventually noticed a strange but comfortable feeling in their hand and saw their hands attached. Almost immediately, both teenagers began to blush a deep code of red but continued to let their hands meet.
Suddenly, the young couple stopped at a certain stand with a huge sign. The sign read "Danny Phantom Comic Books". Danny and Sam nodded to each other, both were both thinking the same thing; let's check it out. Apparently, they were extremely popular. A busy crowd hovered the stand full of DP comics like a swarm of flies attracting to light. Danny squeezed his abnormally thin body through the huddled crowd and luckily enough, Danny was able to reach the last one in the stand.
One look at the title and you noticed it was written as totally fake. Danny scanned quickly through the comic book with an unhappy and confused look on his face.
"Is it that bad?" Sam asked taking a peek in the book.
"Yeah!" Danny said like it was obvious "They make me say 'ghost catchers, away'. How cheesy is that?" Danny said slightly annoyed. Sam couldn't help but let out a small giggle. She took the comic from Danny, looking at a certain page that made her bite her lip to refrain from letting out a laugh.
"They make worst ghost names than Jazz. They called Skulker 'Instant Kill 4000'." They both laugh hysterically among themselves. Sam admitted to herself there were some advantages to boring comic book conventions; they made great comedy. Danny and Sam were enjoying that perfect moment. Of course, every good things had to come to an end. Both of the lovers eventually heard an unwanted yet familiar voice.
"Hey Fentina, should've known you would take your girlfriend out in this dump." Danny turned around to distinguish the school bully, Dash Baxter.
Remember to review and tell me if you want me to update! I'm planning to just so you know. Thanks again for reading!
