Hi. I'm alive. So I decided to rewrite a lot of my stories because I'm old now and it makes me vomit a little bit in my mouth every time I realize my writing from HighSchool is on this website. This was my first Danny Phantom story so I figured hey why not start here! If you're getting updates for this story, welcome back! The basic story is the same, but it's more legible, with slightly better grammar and flow (I know if this is the update, how bad was the original?!). I also took out things there were super OOC. Like Sam was way OOC and I hope I've done a better job this time around. Don't worry I've saved the old version so like if you loved that, you can message me and I can send it to you. Or if want to compare the two stories and laugh with me about how bad of a writer I was, we can do that too. My 14 year old self is crying I'm being so mean to her.
"Danny, you are such an idiot sometimes" Sam crossed her arms and glared at the boy. "You can't just go around doing whatever you want whenever you want to! Just because you have these powers does not mean you get to do as you please!"
Danny looked at Sam shocked. "I did that for you, to help your cause!" He was about to let it go, but something snapped in the boy. "You're always asking me to help with these stupid little causes you have, and when I finally do, you freak out!"
"Stupid little causes?" Sam gasped and took a step away from Danny. "If that's the way you feel about it, then I don't even want your help" She turned to leave, but couldn't help not getting in the last word. "I wanted you to like, help me make posters or something, not, not this" Out of frustration she pushed Danny and then turned to leave.
*.*.
Danny flew off, grumbling to himself, all he had tried to do was help, like Sam always demanded he and Tucker do. Then when he finally does help? He gets yelled at. "I'll just never help her and her stupid ultra-recyclo vegetarian schemes again" That would show her.
It was a lie and Danny knew it. Before long they'd have gotten over this and Sam would come up with some new scheme and Danny would be "roped" into it, in reality he'd willingly agree to help and then this scenario would probably play out again. Or maybe he'd finally actually help her in the way she wanted to be helped. Only time would tell on that one.
As he flew aimlessly, Danny didn't really have a goal in mind for where he was going. If anything he just wanted to blow off some steam, maybe he'd find the Box Ghost in a warehouse or something. That would be a quick and easy way to get his mind off things. So now he was in search of a warehouse of sorts.
Finding a place proved surprisingly easy, Danny hadn't really been paying attention to where he was going so when he actually found a warehouse he was stupidly proud of himself. "Hello?" He called, phasing through the window. "I'm here to smash boxes, or something" Danny tilted his head to the side to crack his neck. There was a noise and his head whipped around to face it, getting his ectoblast ready.
"Freeze and put your hands in the air!" Someone yelled and suddenly Danny was surrounded by at least a dozen Guys in White. "Put your hands in the air or we will shoot you!"
"What is going on?" Danny muttered to himself as he raised his hands in the air and one of the guys put handcuff's on him. Something told him that these weren't the kind of handcuff's he could just phase out of either. The Guys in White had really improved, he'd give them that.
"You're coming with us" One of the Guys said and started pulling Danny along and pushing him into a van. /Great just great. This is just what I needed right now, a fight and then a kidnapping, while they're at it, might as well reveal my secret identity too!/ That give him an idea. When no one was looking, Danny Phantom tried to turn himself into Danny Fenton. If the Guys found Danny Fenton, he could fake this whole story about how Phantom got out of the cuffs, found Fenton out for a nice walk and replaced himself with Fenton, escaping into the night. It would put a backpedal on all the work he'd done to prove himself actually a good guy, but at least he wouldn't be in this position. Unfortunately these cuffs did a lot more then take away his intangibly, Danny was completely powerless, and stuck in ghost form.

"Where's Danny?" Sam asked with a yawn walking up to Tucker's locker. "I want to" She shuddered. "Apologize to him"
"He's not here, haven't seen him all morning, probably overslept" Tucker shrugged and closed his locker. "Weren't you guys out pretty late last night?" Sam nodded and put the hood of her sweatshirt up over her hair which had barley been brushed. "He'll get here eventually"
"Ya" Sam rubbed her eyes and they started walking to class.
First period came and went, no Danny. Then second period, third period, fourth period, lunch, no Danny.
"Have you heard from him?" Sam asked Tucker sitting down at their lunch table. "Because he wasn't in math and I always pass him between English and Art, but he wasn't there today, he can't still be sleeping, can he?'
Tucker shook his head. "No he's not one to sleep this much, or this late, and his parents would flip if he did" He snickered. Sam smacked him.
"He doesn't show up by the end of the day, we go check on him ok?"
"Deal" Tucker nodded and continued to eat his very meaty sandwich which caused for a speech from Sam about how cruel that was. That was the rest of their lunch, with Sam ranting on and Tucker just rolling his eyes, he was never going to change his eating habits to fit into Sam's weird ultra-recyclo vegetarian diet. He almost missed the awkward sexual tension between Danny and Sam that was present when Danny was around. Gave some entertainment and made Tucker want to yell "Just kiss already!"
That was until Dash showed up and then Tucker was suddenly perfectly fine with Sam ranting. "Where's Dorkten?" Dash asked cracking his knuckles. "Hiding in the bathroom?" He snickered.
Sam rolled her eyes, "Honestly Dash I have no idea" She leaned her head into her hand and used the other hand to wave him away. "So please go find some other loser to bother" Dash clearly wasn't excepting to have to deal with Sam's "take no shit" attitude today because for a moment he just looked confused.
"Fine" He said, "I'll just beat up this loser" Dash turned to Tucker and cracked his knuckles. Tucker gulped, Sam had better him out of this one.
"Can we take a rain check on that one?" Sam said and grabbed Tucker, quickly leading him out of the Cafeteria. "How about February 30th? Then you can beat him up to your hearts desire!" She called over her shoulder as they left. "You're welcome" Sam said as soon as they had left the cafeteria. Tucker just nodded, still in shock. "So, I'll meet you at 2:30 by my locker and we'll check on Danny. Try not to get yourself killed along the way" Sam patted Tucker's back and walked off to class.
