A Halfa's Best Friend

A/N I'm a dog lover and I always wonder what would happen if Danny had a ghost dog helper. I wrote this after Reign Storm and it's my first story. So now I submit for your approval this story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or any of it cast but I do own Spook, Radio Wave, Skeeter and Danny's CW teacher.

Ch.1 School, Ghosts, and Puppies

Danny was 15 now and he was in his sophomore year of high school. Little has changed since freshman year. He was still playing part-time superhero Danny Phantom but now he had some friends in the supernatural. Like Wulf, Radio Wave, Skeeter and his skate boarding gang that couldn't stay out of trouble with Walker. It was a truce he had with some ghost as long as they didn't make a mess in the living world and eventually return to the ghost zone he leave them alone and let them stay. He still wasn't popular at school but with the truce he had a lot of ghost allies so he now had a second social life.

After two years of fighting ghosts Danny's body is no longer scrawny he actually got some muscles unfortunately it wasn't enough to make Dash think twice. Like Dash even thinks he just keeps his grades high enough so he can play all his sports.

Half of the time he only gets the grade by getting on the teachers' good side, like him and Mr. Lancer.

Danny's best friends Sam and Tucker were almost the same as freshman year but Tucker grained an inch in height and was even more of a techno geek if that was even possible.

Sam was still Goth but was around the age were girls are starting to become women. Sam had spent the last week of the summer on a cruise with her family. When summer was over and school started. Tucker and Danny did a double take when they saw her the first day. Sam changed in a few places.

It was another school day and they were all in 5th period study hall and Tucker was once again asking Danny to tell the story of fighting the ghost called the garbage man, which nearly made him miss 1st period. Tucker liked it because it had many points in it that had Danny in the dumpster; good thing 1st period was P.E. so Danny could wash off the smell in the showers.

"Tucker didn't you get enough at lunch?" Sam asked.

"No, every time it gives me a better picture of what it would look like if I was there and got it on my PDA." Tucker yelled.

Sam kicked him in the leg to shut him up. They were in the back of the room but Tucker's mouth was so big and loud the whole class could hear him. Tucker was almost always letting everyone know Danny's secret as well as other's secrets.

"Well, its seven minutes before class is over," Miss. Johnson announced "so doses anyone know what's next?"

"Geometry" Danny said packing his books back in his school bag.

"I'm going to have to go with geometry too" Tucker admitted.

"Bake a stupid cake" Sam said with an even more bitter voice then usually.

Both boys turned towards her with a surprised look on their faces.

"You're in cooking" Tucker said pointing at Sam.

"It wasn't my idea; the school decided every girl must at least take one semester of home economics." Sam said with obvious hatred.

"Yeah, but cooking why not sewing?" Danny questioned.

"Because the sewing teacher is observed with pink, if I was in her class I'd have to sew with pink material." Sam made a disgusted face thinking about making clothes she had to model for the teacher in pink.

"And let me guess the only way you'll wear pink is if the world was coming to an end" Danny said.

"Not even then" Sam hissed.

By then they missed what ever Miss. Johnson wanted to really announce.

The bell rang and they started heading to the next class.

"O by the way Tucker if you tell anyone else I'm in cooking I'll have to kill you" Sam said stopping in front of her class room.

"What about Danny?" Tucker said jerking a thumb at Danny.

"Danny knows when to keep his mouth closed" Sam said disappearing into her class room.

"If I didn't know better I'd say she favors you" Tucker said to Danny as the continued to their class.

"When it comes to keeping quit she does favor me" Danny said walking into the class room followed by Tucker.

6th period passed and soon 7th followed

Tucker walked out of class rubbing his sore arm since Sam punched him there to get him to shut up about the issue of her being in cooking.

Right now they were all at Danny's locker while he was getting his books.

"I'm not sure I'll ever be able to use my arm again" Tucker whined.

"Sam warned you" Danny said closing his locker door.

Right about then Danny and his friends' mortal enemy came over.

"Well, if it isn't the losers' club" Dash said.

"Dash shouldn't you saving your energy to bare the shame of losing Saturday's game and finding out you're a bad quarterback?" Sam said remembering Dash being buried under the entire football team last time their school played a game.

Dash didn't take the insult to well. Danny knew where this was headed.

"Look! A nerd in pain" Danny said pointing in a random direction behind Dash.

Dash like an idiot turned around to look. When Dash turned back Danny and his friends had run out of the school and were making their way home.

Meanwhile not far from Danny's house a wolf like ghost dog had just got out of the ghost zone. The ghost was prowling in an ally way ready to kill anyone or anything that it saw.

Just a little way further down the ally way was a homeless little, black puppy about ten weeks old. It still had its puppy fur, soft and short. Its nose was to the ground looking for scraps of food usually found in the dumpsters and trash cans. He's large paws, indicating he was going to grow much bigger, brought him to a halt as his nose caught wind of a danger. His triangle shaped ears he had laid back were whip to their normal position on top of his head, alert and ready for what ever was coming.

The white and blue dog emerged from the shadows. It saw the pup and pulled its lip back to reveal its large teeth in a snarl.

The pup put its tail between its legs and took a step back in fear.

The pup then turned around and broke into a run.

The ghost followed in turn to commerce the chase.

(Meanwhile with Danny and his friends)

"That was close" Tucker said.

"Tell me about it" Danny said just before a wisp of blue mist came out of his mouth.

"Great, just when I thought the rest of the day was going to be ghost free" Danny said.

"You do what you got to do buddy" Tucker said.

"Need any help?" Sam offered.

"If I do I'll call" Danny said as he looked around to make sure no one else was around and then went ghost then flew off.

Danny scanned the ground below him and spotted a wolf/dog ghost running across the street into a narrow ally. Danny was not looking forward to fighting something with teeth made to rip meat and flesh but he had to stop it.

The pup was doing it's best to out run the ghost by weaving around trash cans or slipping trough small holes in fences. It didn't help that the ghost dog could just phase through everything. It wasn't long before the pup came to a dead end.

He had a brick wall in front of him, a building on both sides, and the ghost behind him.

The pup frantically looked for a place to hide. He ducked behind some trash cans, crouched down and was shaking in fear of being found by the ghost.

The ghost ran to the entrance of the ally. The ghost scanned the ally and sniffed the air looking for its prey. It took on step forward before…

"Hey wolfy" Danny shouted from behind it to get the ghost's attention.

The ghost turned to face him its lips pulled back in a snarl but Danny stood his ground.

The ghost leapt forward at Danny, Danny quickly went intangible and the ghost went through him.

The pup peeked its head out from the trash cans to see what was happening.

Danny fired an ecto plasmic blast, the ghost dodged, then made another lunge for Danny. Danny dodged him but forgot about its tail. The ghost's tail hit Danny in the chest knocking him to the ground. The ghost turned and leapt, mouth open ready to bite Danny in half. Danny put his dome shaped shield up and the ghost bounced off it. Before it had time to react Danny hit it with an ecto plasmic blast. Not wanting to give it time to recover he pulled out the thermos and sucked the ghost in.

Danny floating only an inch above the ground transformed back to normal. He had a rather satisfied grin on for defeating the ghost and no parts of this fight had him in a dumpster.

The pup saw the whole fight and was thinking 'my hero.' The pup started to wiggle its way out of its hiding spot. It was about to go to Danny when one of the trash cans he knocked off balance fell over with a loud bang.

Danny whipped around at the sound and went into fighting stance in a flash. Danny saw the small, black pup and put his guard down. The first words out of his mouth and thought was "A Puppy!"

The pup was too scared by the noise froze and wasn't about to snap out of it any time soon.

"Here boy whistle come on boy whistle" Danny said knelling down beckoning the puppy to come closer. The pup was still too startled to register Danny's gentle coxing.

All the sudden Danny's digital watch went off. Danny whipped his arm into a position to see what time the watch said.

"What it can't be that late." Danny yelled.

He took off towards home, he decided if his parents noticed he hasn't been home even two hours after schools been over he'd say Tucker talked him into unwinding at the arcade.

The pup finally snapped out of its shock and if he could he'd be kicking him self.

'Good going stupid, that was a great chance to at least say thank you. Well, he saved your life and I'm in debt and got to repay it right? Right!' The little pup said.

He took off after Danny following him all the way home.

Danny didn't notice the puppy flowing him only a few feet behind. He made it all the way home and inside not noticing.

Now that the pup knew where his savior lived all he could do was waiting until he came back out. Maybe if he followed him around long enough he'd figure out how to repay him.

The pup settled down in the corner between the building and steps then waited.
