1Bad Day
"Hey Fen-toad! Guess what time it is!" yelled an overly familiar voice behind Danny. He had not had the best morning, so before he turned around he said, "Dash, I really don't feel..." He was interrupted as Dash whipped him around and punched him in the stomach. Dash's friends started to laugh as Danny doubled over in pain.
"Since when have I cared about how you feel?" Danny felt himself being lifted off his feet and slammed into his locker. The shut and Danny's world darkened. Outside, he could hear Dash and his friends laugh even harder and, to make things worse, the bell had just rung.
'Great!' Danny thought to himself as he pounded on the locker door. 'Not only did I not get a chance to do my homework last night because of stupid Skulker, but now I'm late to class!' Danny began to phase through the locker door when he remembered the school's new Ghost Detection Cameras. Courtesy of his parents.
"Darn it! If only everyone could see the Great Danny Phantom now," he whispered to himself bitterly. He was impossible to catch in the human world and the Ghost Zone... and he was stuck in LOCKER! Danny made a frustrated noise and said loudly,
"Yeah, come and get Danny Phantom now!" Just as he said this, he heard a click and the locker door opened. He wasn't expecting it, therefore, he fell to the floor with a painful thud.
"Thanks," Danny muttered. But before he could turn around he heard the voice, that condescending, arrogant voice that he had come to hate...
"Really, Daniel, is it necessary to announce you true identity to everyone?" Vlad grinned, grabbed Danny by the arm, and hauled him to his feet.
"What are you doing here, Plasmius!" Danny asked as he ripped his arm out of Vlad's grip. Vlad motioned for Danny to walk with him, and only because Danny was curious, he obeyed.
"Well, dear boy, it seems that you were lucky that I am here," Vlad replied as he placed one hand on Danny's shoulder, apparently leading him around the corner.
"Unless, of course, your idiot father has finally managed to blow up your house and you plan on living in your locker... in which case, I insist that you move in with me." Danny shook Vlad's hand off his shoulder.
"Yeah, fine, whatever," said Danny in an annoyed voice, " but that doesn't explain WHY you're here."
"Very well, Very well," said Vlad, "I was invited here by your business teacher... Mr. Lancer, was it?" At this point, Danny stopped and said, "WHAT!" Vlad simply laughed, 'ahh, to catch Daniel off guard is like the Packers winning the Super Bowl.
"Lancer teaches business?" Danny asked, "Wait... why would Lancer invite you here?"
"Well, as I am a millionaire, I must know something about business, correct?" At this, Danny actually laughed, "How are you going to answer questions? You stole all the money you have." They neared the classroom door and as Danny was about to enter, Vlad stopped him,
"Daniel, you should worry more about your safety than my ability to lie."
"What..." Danny began as Vlad opened the door.
"Danny Fenton, late again," said the voice of an irritated Mr. Lancer.
