Rated for Safety and for sexuality and cutting.

Pairings: DannyDash; DannyOC

Summary: Danny's grown older, his two best friends have left him nearly two years ago and he still struggles with it. Slowly becoming a loner, he starts to befriend a new student with strange ghost powers, his rival and secret crush. Feelings seem to grow with each passing day, but who's pulling the strings?

Faithful Beginnings

Danny Fenton sighed as he threw his body onto the bed in his room. Finally a few moments to relax the night away. At seventeen he was going to begin as a Junior in a few days. To himself, Danny had argued that he had been fighting ghosts for FAR too long.

Holding out a pendent from under his shirt a sigh of grief escaped his. A picture of a younger Danny with his two best friends, Tucker and Sam. Both of his best friends had moved away a year ago. Danny let silent tears escape from his eyes. Though they kept in touch by e-mail it wasn't the same. Sam said she still had feelings for Danny, but he told her that would change. She'd find someone better then Danny. Sam had argued this, until Danny had got fed up and told Sam she had rub off with Tucker. That was the end of that discussion.

I've become harsh towards old friends...and I'm becoming a loner, Danny thought to himself sadly for the billionth time. Checking the computer he looked at his e-mails one final time and noticed a new one from his pen-pal in the next town over. Reading it he smirked. "I'll see you sooner than you might think." With that in mind, he sent a fast reply saying he didn't believe it. Shutting down the computer, he slowly stumbled to his bed. Letting the dreaming world take over he slipped into an uncomfortable sleep. He couldn't remember the last time his mind was at ease.

Slamming his fist on the snooze button, Dash Baxtor rubbed his fists into his eyes to destroy what little sleep filled them. Slowly, he headed towards his weight room that connect to his bedroom. A fast warm up would keep him from falling asleep in classes. Looking over his shoulder, a boy with blond hair slept peacefully on the floor on a futon. Shaking his head, he'd wake up the neighbor after he was done with the work out and shower.

He still wasn't sure as to why his cousin had finally decided to move in after his mother had harrassed and bothered the teen. His excuse was simple, he couldn't afford to work and go to school at the same time. Dash shook his head once more the get his body moving. Wouldn't do well to fall asleep in class. His senior year was coming sooner than he wanted it to arrive.

Danny had been up for a good hour and a half before his alarm had gone off. Hot water flowed in a steady stream, pressing against Danny's semi-tanned skin. At his feet however, bloody water swirled and went down the drain. A razor from a Gillette Fusion was held in Danny's open palm. A slash was on his left wrist.

Blood oozed from the open cut going down to his finger tips and dripped onto the shower's floor. Water stung the fresh cut, it was small enough not to leave a scar, but still would be noticed by perceptive eyes.

THUD!

"DANNY, get out here now," Jazz hollered through the wooden door, she had been pounding on it for the last fifteen minutes.

"JUST A MINUTE. Can't I get a decent shower in this household,"Danny hollered back, slowly he put the razor back together.

"It's been an hour," Jazz hissed through the crack in the door. "What are you doing in there? Please tell me you aren't doing it."

Danny turned the water off, wrapped his towel around his body and finished opening the door, "That's disgusting, ya know that? My own sister asking if I'm doing dirty things in the bathroom. As if."

"You know you have fifteen minutes to go to school," Jazz said in a matter-of-fact tone. Her eyes showing mirth in her brother's discomfort. "You seemed to forget that yesterday was your last day of summer vacat-- HEY! Get back here when I'm talking to you!"

Danny had gone intangible and had walked through the wall to his bedroom, an evil smirk on his face. As he entered his room, he returned to his solid form and started to dry off little by little. Throwing the towel into the dirty hamper he had made sure to hid the blood stains, though on a red towel you'd hardly see them.

Dash shook awake his cousin and glared down at the boy. He was scrawny, messy blond hair that stood in a spiky mess in the front, he knew for a fact that his cousin had pale green eyes. An effect from losing his parents in an odd blast when they were working on something. Something greatly hushed up by his father's standing as chief of police.

"Dash...I"M AWAKE! Stop shaking me," the blond hollered. "What were you thinking about anyway?"

"None of your business Al...Come on, we're going to be late for school..." Dash said getting up and heading out of the room. He had just been wondering about his friends and how they'd pick a new target this year. Danny had become boring to pick on anymore.

End Notes: So I re-wrote this one, not much is different but I changed a lot of it. The layout's a little different and I kept most of it the same. Let me know what you think.
