jeanette9a: Well, you're just going to have to keep reading to find out!
Um…I know I probably should have mentioned this in the first chapter, but since I forgot I'll mention it here. You might want to read The Ultimate Kitty before reading Danny Furball. It's not necessary, but it might clear up a few things that may confuse you here. Anyways, enough procrastinating. Onwards to the story! After I procrastinate even more by going to the bathroom!
"Oh!" Jack Fenton growled, irritably, "Darn it!"
Danny and his sister exchanged questioning glances at each other before staring back at their annoyed father. Occasionally, the large man growled more annoyed noises as he fiddled with his invention and a screwdriver.
"Uh, Dad?" the boy finally asked, "What are you doing?"
"Male parental figure," a robotic female voice answered, "I am inquiring about your current actions. Fear me."
"It's the ghost gabber," Jack groaned, putting down the tool, "I'm trying to find out why it keeps trying to translate whatever you're saying, Danny. It's quite obvious you're not a ghost."
"Yeah," Danny chuckled, nervously, "Obvious."
"Affirmative. It is quite evident. Fear me."
"But I can't find the problem!"
"Hey! Danny!" Jazz quickly, intervened, "Shouldn't we be going to school now?"
"Oh! Yeah!" her brother quickly stood up from his chair, "School! Gotta go! Bye!"
"Affirmative. The place for education. I must depart. Goodbye. Fear me."
"Darn it!" Jack shouted, furiously prodding at the gabber with the screwdriver.
Outside, the teenagers both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Whew!" Danny swept at his forehead, "Thanks Jazz."
"No problem," she answered, "Want me to drive you to school?"
"Nah. I'm stopping over at Sam's. Going ghost!"
Two white rings surrounded the boy's waist and traveled in opposite directions as Fenton became Phantom. When the transformation completed, Danny flew up into the air and waved at his sister before heading off towards his friend's house. When he arrived at the mansion, he noticed his two friends waving at him on the front porch.
"Hey," Danny greeted, changing himself back into a human.
"Well, we were wondering where you were," the goth girl teased.
"Yeah, man," Tucker piped in, "What took you so long?"
"Dad had some 'problems' with the ghost gabber," the halfa shrugged, "So, we walking or flying?"
"I think we've got time to walk," Sam answered, walking off before either of the boys could respond.
Both teens shrugged and followed their friend off the porch, passing the journey by through conversation.
"Did you see the news this morning?" Tucker chuckled, looking at Danny, "The search for Mayor Masters continues into its second month."
The group snickered to themselves as they remembered the events that led to his and Skulker' 'disappearance.'
"Well, it's their own fault," Sam giggled, "They want to be normal again, they're going to have to figure it out themselves."
"Considering that you gave them to Paulina," her techno geek friend snickered, "I'm almost sorry for them!"
"Almost!" Danny chimed in.
The group fell into hysteric laughter.
"Where'd you get that idea anyway?" he panted, looking at Sam.
"Oh!" the girl's cheeks blushed, "Uh- Some old friend of mine, you know, he suggested it. Thought it be pretty funny"
"Wait, how'd he know," Tucker asked, looking questioningly at her.
"Oh, I just, you know, I just told him they were strays. You know," she stammered, still blushing.
"Well, however he knew," Danny continued chuckling, "He's an absolute genius!"
Again, the boys laughed. Sam chuckled nervously with them, hoping her little white lie would work.
"Yeah. Genius."
As her friends panted and gasped for breath, the goth felt some sort of strange sensation. Was she being watched? She looked behind her and gasped when she saw crimson eyes glaring at her. He's back? Did he hear what she said? Is he back to finish what he started two months ago?
"Sam?" Danny looked over at his friend's frightened face, "Sam, are you okay?"
He looked where she was staring, but saw nothing. Glancing back at Tucker, he arched his eyebrows questioningly. The geek shrugged and looked back at Sam before Danny did the same.
"Sam?"
"AUGH!" she screamed before she glared at her concerned friend, "Don't do that! You scared me!"
"Are you okay?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah, what are you staring at?" Danny agreed.
"Oh, I was-" she looked back at the eyes only to see nothing there! "Just thought I saw something."
"Are you sure?" Danny continued his interrogation, "Cause, you looked worried about something."
"She should be worried!"
Everyone looked up at the hissing voice and gasped at the floating eyes! Wait a minute. That wasn't him. The voice is wrong. But, if that's not him, then who is this guy? And why does he sound familiar?
"I hope you've been enjoying yourself, my princess," the voice sneered.
Oh. That's why he sounded so familiar. Not this again.
"Because Prince Charming's back!"
Prince Aragon finally allowed himself to be shown to the teenagers. He held his head up proudly, making quite sure that the children could see his spiked crown. Though his arms were folded across his chest, his golden amulet could still be seen.
"But this time," he continued glaring at Sam, "He's looking for revenge!"
"Okay, see," Danny interrupted, quickly transforming to Danny Phantom, "In order to be called 'Prince Charming,' you have to actually be charming."
"Go ahead boy," his opponent hissed, "Mock me if you will! But, I'll be the one laughing after I'm finished with all of you!"
The amulet's green eye glowed brightly as the tyrant's neck grew and his pupils narrowed.
"Run!" Danny shouted.
Tucker and Sam sprinted off into opposite directions. Meanwhile, the halfa turned back to the prince, only to be slapped in the face by one of his dragon wings. Screaming, Danny unwillingly flew towards a brick building. He phased himself through and landed painfully on the grass. Looking up, he glimpsed at the dragon's purple underside as he flew over the boy and headed for his friend.
"Sam!" Danny panicked.
He shot up towards the sky and followed the dragon, shooting several ice beams at his tough hide. Aragon looked back at Danny and shot him an irritated look.
"Get out of my way, you fool!" he shouted before deeply inhaling.
Danny ducked as balls of blue fire came out of the beast's snout.
"Ha!" he shouted triumphantly, "Missed!"
"Wasn't aiming for you," the reptile smirked.
The boy turned back and cried out as a burning tree threatened to fall on the hero. With chuckle, Aragon continued looking for his prey, not noticing that the halfa phased through the wood as it fell. He covered the tree in ice as he frantically scanned the area for Sam. After the last spark had died down, Danny shot up again and continued his journey.
"Sam!"
"Danny!" she called back.
He looked down and saw her trapped in the corner of two building with a giant dragon blocking her only exit. He descended towards them, but Aragon had already noticed his presence and flung him away with a flick of his tail.
"Now I've got you!" the dragon sneered, turning back into a prince, "And you know what I'm going to do with you, ungrateful girl?"
"Uh," Sam stammered, "Let me go because you got a change of heart?"
"Nice try."
"Hey," she shrugged, "It was worth a shot."
"And I'm sure it shall give me great pleasure to know that your last human words were you begging me for mercy," he smirked.
"Human? What do you mean human? You're going to turn me into a ghost?"
"Of course not!" he sneered arrogantly, "No, you're not worthy enough to be granted whatever feeble powers the ghost peasants may have! No, I've got a better idea! Behold!"
He drew from his billowing cape a rather familiar golden cat. Sam gasped as she recognized the statue's sapphire and ruby eyes serving as the cat's left and right eye respectively.
"Bastet's sacred statue?" she shouted, surprising the ghost, "You stole Bastet's sacred statue? Are you crazy? Wait. Don't answer that. I just remembered that you are."
"Well, girl," Aragon sneered, "Although I am rather surprised that you recognize the statue, at least I know that you also recognize its power!"
"Wait," she smirked, folding her arms, "You're going to try and turn me into a cat? Well, good luck with that."
"Good luck?" his pupils narrowed again, "What do you mean good luck?"
"I mean good luck trying to turn me into a cat. Hey, I'll make it a bit easier for you. I won't fight back."
"You," he stammered, sounding rather confused, "You won't?"
"Nope," she grinned.
"Ha!" he pointed at the mellowed girl, "That's because you already know you won't be able to escape its power!"
"Nope. I already know you won't succeed. I'll still be human. And you're going to be in major trouble with Bastet."
"Oh, please," he snorted, "Like I'm afraid of a kitty cat. Now, prepare for your doom!"
"Alright."
Sam sat down on the ground, much to the prince's bewilderment, and leaned back against a building, using her hands as a pillow.
"Okay. I'm prepared. Do your thing."
"Are you mocking me!" Aragon demanded, roughly tossing down the sacred idol, "Insolent girl!"
He transformed back into his dragon shape and glared at the goth.
"I've changed my mind," he growled, "You'll die!"
Sam tried to run between the dragon's legs, but he caught her and pinned her down with his talons. The reptile smirked and lowered his head down towards the struggling girl's level.
"I wonder what humans taste like," he said, menacingly.
Suddenly, a ferocious wail sent the beast hurling towards the opposite direction, forcing him to let go of his victim. Sam recognized the ghostly wail and ducked until Danny had exhaled all the air out of his body. She looked up just in time to be knocked back down to the ground, cushioning Danny's fall as he became Fenton once more.
"Sor- AUGH!"
Sam looked wildly around to see if Aragon had come back and indeed he had. But, he appeared to look stupefied at Danny. She looked up and found out why.
"Oh, no," she groaned.
Danny's weight on her back seemed to grow smaller and it was no wonder why. His body shrank as it covered itself with black hair. Hands and feet turned into white paws, and Danny's ear became pointy on top of his white head. When his transformation had completed, the red beam shooting him retracted back into the ruby eye.
"Meow?" Danny cried out, looking shocked at his tail.
"And you said it wouldn't work," the bruised dragon smirked as he involuntarily changed back.
Sam ignored him and leapt for the statue. Aragon saw what she was doing and raced towards it.
"Meow!" Danny hissed, and sprinted for his boot.
"Out of the way!" the prince kicked the poor cat away from him and flew faster.
Sam grabbed the idol first, but Aragon snatched it out of her hands and flew off.
"You've won this round, girl!" he shouted back, "But I'll be back! You'll see!"
"Get back here!" she shouted in vain.
She watched the evil tyrant fly off until she could see him no more. Danny limped over to her side sadly and looked up at her.
"Great," the goth groaned, plopping herself on the ground, "An evil dragon prince is out to kill me, my best friend is now a cat, and the only way to change him back has been stolen away from us. What else could possibly go wrong today?"
"The Great Gatsby! Ms. Manson?" Mr. Lancer's voice replied from behind, "What on earth are you doing out here? You're supposed to be at school! You've just earned yourself a detention, young lady!"
I'm thinking it was a really bad idea to drink all of that Gatorade. Gotta go!
