"Ninja throwing stars!" Randy Cunningham exclaimed as the small weapons flew through the air.

Danny Phantom reacted only by becoming intangible so the stars flew through him and harmlessly bounced off the dragon known at Jake Long.

"Danny, you have to dodge" Sam scolded, crossing her arms. "There's only a matter of time before an enemy can hit you even when you can phase through solid things."

"She's right, dude." Tucker agreed, not bothering to look up from the project he and Spud were working on.

Danny yawned but nodded. He had been up all night chasing Johnny 13 and Kitten, who thought it'd be nice to try to run over every person in Amity Park. He was just glad it was Saturday and that he didn't have to worry about school since Jazz usually made him finish his work on Friday nights, constantly using the fact that he falls asleep in class against him.

Lucky for him, Jazz had to go to a convention with their parents over the weekend and since his parents now knew his secret, he didn't have to come up with an excuse as to why he couldn't go with them. A half ghost teenager at a ghost hunting convention wasn't really the best idea anyway. Not to mention Jake's grandpa wouldn't let him off the hook for missing practice, even if he wasn't there.

"Alright, Danny. How have you been with duplication?" Fu, Jake's talking dog, asked.

This seemed to catch everyone else's attention and Danny shyly rubbed the back of his head, hastily avoiding eye contact with the dog and looking up at the sky, which seemed to match his human eyes today.

"I haven't had time to practice."

Fu nodded as the halfa yawned again. He knew Danny's schedule was similar to Jake and Randy's in the fact that he had several different enemies to deal with along with his nightly patrols and private training.

"Alright, let's see it." Sam said as Randy and Jake transformed to their normal forms and took their seats by Tucker and Spud.

Danny closed his eyes and tried to concentrate on separating his energy in half only to succeed in causing a second head to pop out of his shoulder, causing the other two heroes to fall back in their seats from laughter.

"Now, let's work on the rest of your body, alright?" Sam smiled, hitting the back of Danny's head when he tried to get back to normal, only to cause his eyes to meld together.

He blinked a few times to get them back to normal before nodding and smiling slightly. The white rings of light gathered around his waist, turning him back to normal. He yawned widely, not bothering to cover his mouth as he stretched his arms.

"Danny!" A voice called from behind them.

They turned to see Valerie running up to them, waving to Danny with a big smile. She had found out about his secret a few months ago when they had started dating and even though she was upset at first, then they had began talking and were now closer than ever.

"Hey, Val. What's up?" Danny asked, turning to meet her.

"I was hoping you'd be ok with missing some practice to come with me to the fair tonight. The stars are supposed to be beautiful tonight. I wouldn't want you to miss them, Space Boy." She explained, holding her hands behind her back shyly.

Danny's eyes widened slightly, showing anyone, knowing him or not, that he was eager by the idea of the starry night with his girlfriend. However, due to his hero complex (and his fear of Jazz and Jake's Grandpa), the internal conflict of the date versus having to train with his new team made it difficult to decide. Fu dog, who was already used to Jake's antics, grinned at the love struck half ghost before speaking up.

"Alright, kid. You can go if you spend another few hours here training and promise to practice duplication outside of practice. I get that you wanna spend some time with your girlfriend so I wanna see improvement by next week when we come back." He said.

Sam and Tucker exchanged a look while Jake sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck (a habit he'd picked up from Danny), remembering when he had constantly begged to get out of practice and work to spend time with Rose. Danny grinned at Fu dog, agreeing to his demands before changing back into Phantom, not noticing Valerie flinch out of habit before smiling at her boyfriend.

"I'll go get everything taken care of while you worry about training for now." Valerie said, catching Danny's attention again. "See you later."

She kissed his cheek before waving and walking away. Randy stood and yanked on his mask before getting into battle mode. Eager to take down the halfa with his ninja skill (something he hadn't managed yet).

"Ok, dude. Let's go again!" Randy exclaimed, catching Danny off guard as Jake only grinned at his teammate. "Ninja throwing stars!"
