Danny glared at the cameras, his anger blinding him and his eyes glowing green.

No, he thought, horrified at what he might do if he lost control and feeling guilty that he had let the anger take him this far. They are just some stupid news reporters, there is no reason to go ghost on them, Danny reassured his ghost half.

Slowly Danny's eyes returned to their usual sapphire blue colour and a sigh escaped his lips.

After Danny had saved the world from the "Disasteriod" two weeks ago, the media had constantly cornered him, and his ghost half had become more dominant because of the annoying attention and stupid questions that the reporters pestered him with. Now Danny often felt his ghost instincts taking over whenever he was angry or irritated. Now he had to learn to control his emotions in case that his ghost half completely seized power and put lives in danger.

If there was one thing that Danny had learned being a ghost fighting hero, (besides to never let Tucker handle the Fenton thermos), it was to never make a ghost angry unless absolutely necessary. Ghosts aren't all evil, but when a ghost gets mad, they could be more dangerous than usual, and since his ghost half was almost always irritated now, he feared he might lose control.

Usually his Fenton side and his Phantom side were the same thing only with different abilities and looks, but now his ghost side was slowly becoming more and more separate from the human half to the point when he couldn't think straight.

A sudden flash of a camera brought Danny's thoughts back to the present.

"Danny, could you tell us about your love life?" asked a particularly tall reporter with wavy brown hair.

Danny sighed, this was exactly why he kept his relationship with Sam a secret, if the entire world knew, Sam would be followed by the media just like him. Then again, many people already suspected that something was going on between them.

Sam… that word ignited a tiny flame inside of him every time he thought about it. Danny had at first thought that Sam wanted to be only friends, but sometimes she had shown behavior that she had liked him more than a friend. Some examples would be that she was always very protective of him, would sometimes embrace him after a big ghost fight, or would blush at him when they were alone. These acts of behavior had always surprised him, and although those occasions had been rare and brief, Danny had felt deep down that she loved him. Of course, Danny acted very protective of Sam as well, and he had sometimes blushed when with her, but because Danny was a ghost fighting superhero, he had had no time to ponder on these feelings, and had simply ignored them. But just before Danny had left for the ghost zone to save the Earth, Sam had shocked him by giving him a quick kiss on the cheek, and Danny had returned the gesture.

That kiss had been absolutely perfect, not like those "fake-out make-outs" that Danny and Sam had shared, that kiss had been the real thing and not an act to avoid people finding out about Danny's secret identity. There had been no secrets between them and they had been able to show exactly how they felt about each other. For a few glorious minutes, they world had seemed to revolve around them and their locked lips…

"Mr. Fenton, are you all right?" asked a concerned camera man.

Danny shook himself, "Yea, I'm fine, but I don't feel in the mood to talk right now, so I'll see you latter…"

Instantly Danny went intangible and fell through the pavement, leaving the reporters dumbstruck and gnashing their teeth.

Danny was flying over Amity Park, a wispy tail in place of his legs was trailing behind him and his ghostly, white hair was streaming backwards. Ever since Danny had entered his parent's ghost zone portal and gained phantom powers, Danny had flied whenever he needed to chill out.

Spotting the "Fenton Works" sign over his house, Danny dived down and phased through the roof, landing in his NASA themed room.

Almost immediately, his "cousin", Danielle, phased through his door and flied straight into him, pushing Danny onto his bed and knocking the breath out of him.

"YOU'RE BACK, YOU'RE BACK!" she screamed happily.

Danielle had been adopted by his parents only a few days ago, and she had since been very happy and hyper because she now lived so close to her "cousin".

"Er, geroff Dani!" Danny mumbled trying to push Danielle (Dani) off of him.

She giggled, and released her arms from around his torso.

"Sorry," she said, still giggling. "You should have seen your face, it was priceless!" she added

Danny rubbed his ribs, which felt like they had been broken from Danielle's death hug.

Danielle looked and acted almost the same as Danny except, she was in fact a girl, and was two years younger than him. Dani's face was slightly rounder than Danny's, her hair in a ponytail, her eye lashes longer, her lips a darker shade, and her voice more girly, but besides that, Dani was exactly the same as Danny had been when he was twelve. Dani was more of a "sister" to Danny than a "third cousin once removed".

The reason for the striking and almost freakishly odd resemblance between the two was that Danielle was a modified clone of Danny.

"Kids, time for dinner!" Madeline Fenton yelled from downstairs.

The two halfas looked at eachother.

"Race you to the kitchen!" Dani said playfully.

About half a second after Danielle had said the challenge, Danny was in the Kitchen with his arms folded, his expression almost bored, but also a little arrogant. Two more seconds later, a black and whit blur flew through the ceiling and Danielle landed next to him.

"No fair," said Danielle pouting. "You got a head start!"

Danny smiled and shook his head, there was no point arguing with Danielle, since she was just like him when he had been younger, he knew that she would never accept that she had lost.

Just then Danny's mother, Maddie, came into the kitchen holding a tray with many burgers on it (since Danny's father, Jack, ate much more than the average man).

Madeline Fenton was a skinny and delicate looking woman, but although she looked helpless, Danny knew to never judge her by her looks. She had short brown-red hair, kind eyes, and wore a blue jumpsuit with a black belt, boots, and gloves.

"Oh," she said surprised and impressed, as she noticed the two ghost children floating an inch above the floor. "I only just called you about five seconds ago. Well, I guess you two are faster than I thought."

In the same instant, both Danny and Danielle returned to their human forms. A blue-white ring appeared around their waists, the ring became two rings that traveled across their bodies, changing their white hair black, their green eyes blue, and their normal everyday clothes in place of their black and white phantom suits.

Then Jack Fenton ran into the room, with Danny's older sister Jazz walking behind him with her nose in a book.

Danny's father was large and tall, with graying, black hair and powerful muscular arms, (some people could argue that the muscle was actually fat). Jack had a bit of an overbite and was wearing an orange jumpsuit with black boots and gloves like his wife.

Jazz, (or Jasmine), was a very intelligent sixteen year-old with long beautiful light red hair pulled back with a blue head band. Her eyes were an almost aqua colour and she wore a black shirt with blue pants.

"I smell burgers!" Jack yelled triumphantly, and with that remark, the meal began.

Danielle was quite the messy eater, but since she had used to live on the streets with scrappy meals here and there, she still hadn't quite learned manners when it came to food.

Of course, she wasn't as bad as Danny's father. Jack had ketchup slathered on his face and his cheeks were so full they resembled apples. He quickly devoured a burger in only a few minutes and then he proceeded to the next one.

"Hey Danny," he said between two bites. "Would you help your old man out by letting me test my new ecto gun on you?"

"Erm, uh… I guess I could…" Danny began a little uncertainly.

But Danny's father cut him off.

"Great son, I knew I could count on you!"

"Umm… will the test be painful…" began Danny, but his father had already returned to his meal.

Grumbling, Danny returned to his room at eight thirty. His father's new ecto gun had been quite effective indeed. It had shot a long green beam at him that had left him screaming and writhing on the floor.

"Sorry son!" was all Jack had said. "I needed a ghost to try it on!"

After the blast Danny had felt achingly sore, and as soon he had his pajamas on, he had collapsed onto his bed, groaning.

Sorry, Sorry! Sorry didn't stop his limbs from crying out in complaint with every little movement! Sometimes Danny's father just made him so ANGRY! Oh how he just wanted to use his ghost powers on him, to hurt him, to make him suffer, to kill…

Danny shook his head franticly to clear these thoughts.

NO, he is my father! How can I even think that!

Danny put his head in his arms, what was happening to him!

At about quarter after nine, Danielle scurried into Dammy's bedroom, whimpering, and pulled herself into his covers.

Danny opened his eyes and looked at his carbon copy searchingly.

"Did you have the nightmare about Vlad again?" Danny asked her gently.

Danielle nodded silently while tears leaked out of her eyes.

Immediately, Danny pulled himself closer to Dani and put his arms around her. Danielle buried her head in his shoulder and sobbed lightly.

Danny had gotten used to these nightmares that happened very often to Dani and always did his best to comfort her like a big brother, (or cousin), should.

"It's alright Dani, Vlad is somewhere in space, and I'll always be here to protect you," Danny reasurred her.

"I, k-know, b-but I'm s-still sc-scare-scared…" Danielle drenched Danny's shirt with her tears.

Danielle continued weep into the night, as she fought against the terrifying memories that haunted her mind.

When Dani had finally fallen asleep, Danny tenderly deposited her head from his shoulder onto one of the pillows.

Danny knew what she was going through was tough, and that she was absolutely terrified of being captured by Vlad again. Last time she had been found by Vlad, he had tried to melt her down into ectoplasmic goo, so of course she was still frightened, even though that event had happened almost a month ago.

Danny looked at her fondly. When he looked at Danielle, he saw his younger self reflected there. It was so easy to talk to Danielle, she shared the same interests as him, and she was a real tomboy. When he was with her, he knew he wasn't alone, that he wasn't the only person who was trying to learn to control his ghost powers. Of course, Vlad was a hybrid too, but he was evil and had already mastered his powers, and Danny had no clue where Vlad was.

Danielle suddenly stirred in her sleep, and Danny responded by hugging her tighter, after that Danielle sighed and drifted back to sleep.

Next morning, when Danny woke up, he realized that Danielle had already left his bedroom and had returned to her own.

Danny got up out of his bed and began to get ready for the day. First he went to the shower. The water felt good on his still stinging muscles, and once he was clean, he went intangible and the water fell right off his body. After brushing his teeth, he got dressed in his usual white and red shirt and baggy jeans. Danny rarely used a comb, since his hair was so thick and long in the front, so he rubbed his hands through his very wild ebony hair until it was presentable. Finally Danny grabbed some "Fenton" toast, before going ghost and flying to school.

As he glided over the many buildings of Amity Park on his way to Casper high, Danny noticed a pack of girls around his age below him. The girls were looking up at him, and holding… a giant lasso?

Suddenly, one of the girls threw the rope up at him and it wrapped around his chest.

"What the-," started Danny, but before he could finish the sentence, he was yanked by his torso towards the pavement.

Rapidly the girls reeled him in, and before he could react, Danny was swiftly pulled to the ground in few seconds.

Danny fell to the ground with a dull thud and immediately the girls wrapped him in more ropes so he was bound tightly.

Danny tried to go intangible, but he couldn't phase through the ropes. Then he realized, those weren't ropes, but ecto ghost catching cords! The same ropes that bound him were used by his parents in their ghost fishing rod and some of their other contraptions.

"WE GOT HIM!" screamed one of the girls happily.

Crap, thought Danny.

All of the girls screamed happily and jumped on him all at once, and poor Danny was crushed under the combined weight of about thirty girls.

"C-can't, breathe..." he gasped.

All the girls got up quickly after hearing him say this, and some of them gave Danny apologetic looks.

Each of them then grabbed an end of one of the ecto ropes, and started to tug him to school. The girls were far from gentle, even though they tried to be gentle, they pulled almost viciously.

"Don't let him escape!" yelled a blonde fifteen year old that Danny recognized as Star. "Not until he agrees to be my boyfriend!"

"YOUR boyfriend! He's mine!" screamed another blonde.

The girls began to argue loudly, and in the confusion, none of them noticed a Goth teenager slowly creep up to Danny and begin to undo the ropes.

As soon as he was free, Danny shot into the air holding the goth girl in his arms. The girls protested angrily once they saw their prisoner escape.

Danny sighed in relief and looked at the girl he was carrying.

"Thanks Sam, those girls are quite a hazard, and they are getting better…" Danny said gratefully.

Sam blinked her beautiful violet eyes and answered: "It was no big deal Danny, but you should be more careful next time."

"Of course," Danny smiled and leaned forward…

Sam moved her head towards him as well and their lips met in brief, but lovely kiss.

"Mmmm…" murmured Danny once their lips parted. "You're in a good mood I see."

Sam just smiled with her purple shaded lips.

Sam's pov:

As Sam walked down the halls of Casper High with Danny at her side, she could not help but feel a little triumphant that she, Sam Manson, had won the heart of Danny Fenton.

She almost felt like she didn't deserve him, he was just so kind, his soul so… pure.

Faces turned in their direction as they walked by and many of the girls scowled at her.

Yeah, that's right, he's mine, thought Sam smugly whenever another girl looked at her.

When the first bell rang to go to class, Sam was forced to leave Danny's side and go to chemistry class. Leaving him even for short amounts of time was so painful now… Danny was like a drug to her that she needed.

"Well, I guess I'll see you at Lunch then…"

Sam quickly pecked him on the cheek and left for class.

Danny's pov:

Danny tapped his pencil against his desk as he struggled to figure out what the answer to one of his test questions was. He had completely forgotten about his test today and Danny wished he would have studied.

Suddenly a long tendril of cold blue air left Danny's mouth, and a loud and annoying voice echoed around the room:

"I am the BOX GHOST! You will all FEAR ME, or face the WRATH of my boxes… OF DEATH!

A pudgy ghost with blue skin flew into the room.

All of the heads in the classroom turned to Danny.

Sighing, Danny stood up and triggered the spark of power inside of him.

A glowing band of light appeared around him. The light split into two loops that traveled in opposite directions. Wherever the light traveled, it revealed a black suit with the famous "DP" symbol in it. Now that the transformation was complete, a boy with white hair, emerald green eyes, and a ghostly white aura around him stood in Danny's place.

Flying into the air, Danny went to confront the Box ghost, (many of his classmates gasped at seeing him transform, even though they had seen him do it a few times now, they couldn't help but be amazed).

The Box ghost grinned at Danny before he turned intangible and phased through the roof.

Danny followed him to the football field, where a huge mound of shoe boxes lay on the ground.

"Now YOU will be CRUSHED, by my BOOOOOOOOOOOXES!"

The Box ghost raised a blue hand, and immediately the shoe boxes came flying at him.

But Danny simply turned intangible, allowing the boxes to pass harmlessly through him. Then without a word he sucked the Box ghost into the Fenton thermos.

"Well that was quick," Danny said to himself.

Defeating the Box ghost usually took him no more than five minutes, but the stubborn specter never seemed to give up.

Danny suddenly got the feeling he was being watched, and when he looked down, what he saw made him frown.

Two scientists in white lab coats were looking up at him; one was writing in a notebook, the other was pointing a video camera at him.

Danny sighed, and quickly flew back to class.

Would these scientists that came from around the world ever stop watching him like some rare animal?

Sorry it wasn't the most exciting chapter, but don't worry! things are sure to get interesting soon, I promise!

This chapter was just for you to learn a bit about what Danny's life is like right now, and how he is already having problems with his anger.

More to come soon!

.P.S. Danny is FIFTEEN now.
