Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Danny Phantom
A/N
We have a few problems to deal with... But for now enjoy the story!
Chapter Two: Questions Surface Even More...
Previously:
The class shuffled out quietly. They were all deep in thought with what they saw.
Then Paulina had to ruin it. "Why was Danny flying?"
Sam and Tucker paled. Mr. Lancer looked over at them. "Yes... I would like to know that, too..."
Sam thought of something as quickly as she could. "He went flying with Phantom?"
A few people seemed to buy it. But a certain jock didn't.
"Why would Phantom take some dweeb like Fenturd flying?"
"Because Danny sneaks out his parents technology, and gives it to Phantom to use?" The end turned into a question, even though it was meant to be a statement. Tucker tried to think of something else to solidify the lie.
Mr. Lancer was busy puzzling this over. "But where was Phantom, then?"
Mikey came and saved the day for them. "Obviously, they were invisible, so Danny wouldn't be able to see him." Mikey pushed up his glasses.
"That explains it, I guess... The other memory was, of course, Danny beating Tucker in a game multiple times in a row." They all nodded. "So, remember what you saw, because there will be an essay over this!" Everyone groaned at the idea of having to write about the 'experience'. "So let's continue on and get to the next door!"
Even more groans followed this at the prospect of walking even more, but they quickly followed their teacher.
Tucker kept on thinking he saw somebody else out in the abyss of Danny's mind, but every time he turned to look, nothing was there anymore.
He thought he was just imagining it, and truly hoped that there wasn't anyone else in here with them...
The jocks pulled out the football, again, and the nerds and geeks either pulled out their phones to play games, or a book. It was a mystery to how they managed to bring that stuff with them, when it was obviously elsewhere.
All of their feet started hurting. When one of them was going to tell Mr. Lancer that they wanted a break, besides Paulina, he announces something that made them all happy, but then anxious.
"Alright class, we're at the next door!" Lancer stopped beside a door that looked eerily similar to the one before it. The only difference was instead of the happy face, there was a sad one with tears falling. "This door leads to the emotion of Sadness. This is Mr. Fenton's saddest memories that he has so far experienced..."
Sam and Tucker tuned him out at that point. They stared worriedly at each other. Danny had a lot of sad memories... They just hoped it wouldn't be revealing his secret in the process of seeing them.
Valerie noticed the look of uneasiness on both Sam and Tucker's face. She was apprehensive in going in here as well. She still knows that her rejection and pushing Danny away made him sad, she just hoped she wouldn't have to see it here.
The class obediently entered the door. Some of the kids, like Mikey and Nathan, took in their surrounds with awe. The others didn't spare a second glance at the similar features, but the smart kids noticed it immediately.
The room had a special feel to it. Some of them were frightened, even if they were in awe. Others were excited by what the feeling ment. Even if they didn't notice it at the time, they felt unnaturally happy when they entered the door before. Now in this room, they felt sad. Not just a little either. They felt very sad about unknown things.
Mr. Lancer quickly walked in behind his students and passed them. His expression changed. His eyebrows drew together. Now most of the people in the room seemed to have a permanent frown, Lancer included.
Lancer seemed downcast when he said his next statement. "Alright, class. Sit down in the seats, quickly!"
The students obediently shuffled forward. Everyone was too busy with their own emotions to push around the nerds, or worry about what would happen in the next memories.
When they all sat down in the movie theater-like seats, the lights instantly dimmed, and the memories began…
The memory was strange. They saw through Danny's eyes again. The class couldn't believe that Danny seemed to be flying. After that thought processed, there was a blinding flash of white light. Danny seemed to have tripped, and a lot of the girls screamed when their view was filled with Danny almost face planting into the ground.
Danny seemed to quickly get up, and started running straight for the Nasty Burger, which seemed to have a gaping hole in it. Through the hole, the class could see multiple people bound to one of the Nasty Sauce containers. On further examination by the nerds, Sam, Tucker, Valerie, and Mr. Lancer, they saw the warning sign was almost into the danger zone.
Everyone saw who was tied to it. Bound and gagged with a weird green, glowing substance, was Mr. Lancer, Jazz, Tucker, Sam, and Mr. and Mrs. Fenton.
Lancer and the others gasped. They never remembered this happening. It was strange because even the people involved seemed as shocked as the rest of them.
The blinding white light showed up again, but Danny still seemed to keep running, as if he expected this.
He was still a good distance away, when he tripped.
The last thing the class saw before the explosion, was the look of fear on each other's faces.
All of a sudden, Danny seemed to wake up, and time stopped. It was during the explosion, but it seemed to pause in what it was doing. Danny and the class took in the surroundings. They felt a wall of emotions. The most prominent was sadness. They had a feeling they failed, but they didn't know what they failed at.
Danny's eyes landed on a certain time ghost. Before they could see who it truly was, the memory ended.
They expected that they were done with the room, but when they tried to get up, an invisible force pushed them back down. After realizing that they couldn't get up and leave, they were left with puzzling over the memory.
The main question in almost everyone's mind was, when did that happen? It was obvious that they would have remembered it, and that the people involved would have died, but there they were, alive and well.
Some of the students tried speaking, but quickly found out they couldn't. The air seemed to leave their lungs whenever they were about to say anything, and they were left gasping for air.
After they regained their breath, the intermission of the memories ended. The next memory they could relate to a little, and they all remembered this one. Even if they didn't know that they did.
The memory started with Danny being held back by Kwan, who was wearing a yellow jacket titled 'Security' in bold black letters. Right next to Danny was Sam, but she was also held back by Dash, who wore the same jacket as Kwan.
In the room also was the ex-pop star, Ember Mclain. The words blurred in time with the memory blurring. They all felt a very strong emotion radiating from Danny, but it wasn't sadness.
It was love.
Upon further examination, most of the class found out who the emotion was directed to. It was directed to Sam. They could all tell that Danny didn't quite care what position he was in as long as Sam was there.
Before they knew it, Ember left them. Sam seemed to by trying to get Danny's attention, but he wouldn't answer her properly.
It was obvious Danny was under some sort of spell. Their suspicions were correct when Sam seemed to realize this. Speech was still nonexistent, and apparently their hearing, too. They couldn't hear anything Sam or the jocks were saying, even if they were talking to Danny.
Then, before they could blink, Sam reached up behind her and gave Dash a kiss on the mouth.
If they were able to talk, or make any noise at all, they would have all gasped. The spell seemed to have broken. They could hear everything again, and Danny seemed to snap out of it. But a wave of sadness crashed into them and slammed into all of their stomachs.
Danny quickly got out of Kwan's grip and freed Sam. He quickly looked away from Sam, and headed towards the door, but she stopped him.
"Danny, are you okay?"
Danny's hands formed fists. "No, I'm not. I feel like my heart is being ripped out."
And with that final sentence, and another wave of sadness, the memory ended.
Most of them were too stunned by what they saw, that they didn't realize that they could get up. Sam and Tucker knew a memory would show up of Danny being Phantom, but they didn't expect it to happen this early. Or that his identity would be tainted because of Dark Danny Phantom. They didn't know how the class would take that dark side of their town hero.
Valerie was the first one who came to her senses. She quickly stood up and walked to the now open exit. The rest of the class started to get up slowly and walk towards her. Lancer was the only one left sitting.
All of the students were outside waiting for their teacher to come out and explain to them what happened, but when he did come out, he looked pale. Dash and the others couldn't believe that Mr. Lancer cared about his students. Nonetheless Danny, but he did care.
He was more disturbed than any of them by what he saw. He didn't take into account that Dash would feel the same way.
Finally, someone had the guts to speak first.
"Wha- what happened to you guys in the explosion?" Mikey was pale as well. He looked like he was on the verge of passing out. The effect of Danny's emotions seemed to be taking their toll on all of them. They all felt weak and shaky.
Sam was the person to answer him. Her lips were in a very thin line, and her face was pale. "We don't remember that." They all looked at her in question, so she continued. "Danny said that it happened in a nightmare. Nothing more, nothing less. The second one, sadly-" Everyone else flinched when she said the word 'sad'. "- the second one did happen."
Everyone looked over to Mr. Lancer for confirmation. He cleared his throat before answering. "Heh-hm. Yes… I do suppose that makes sense, but why would a dream be behind a memory door?" They all looked back at Sam.
"Because it may have seemed like a memory to him at the time, but he later found out it was, truly a dream." Everyone whipped their heads around to stare at Valerie. She shifted uncomfortably. "What? He told me about it the day after." She shrugged.
Sam and Tucker knew she was lying, but they couldn't think of why she was covering for them. Valerie caught the two looking at her and she winked.
Mikey managed to catch the exchange, but he kept it to himself. He knew something was going on between the three of them, but he couldn't prove it yet. So he let them be. He was excited and scared to get to the next door, but he didn't want to stay here.
"Mr. Lancer? Can we start heading to the next door, please? I'm not feeling so well, and I would like to finish the class."
Lancer blinked, but quickly recovered. "Y-yes…. We should continue on to the next door…"
The class followed their teacher, who quickly walked away.
"Mr. Lancer? You're heading the wrong way…"
Lancer quickly turned around, and headed in the right direction. "Thank you, Danny."
