Chapter 1

As Normal as can be

"Damn! I overslept!" screamed Danny Fenton at no one in particular as he flew through Amity Park in order to get to school in time. It was already 9 am and he was late for class. However it didn't take him to long to reach Casper High School due to his ghost form speed. When he arrived there he began phasing through the walls of the school until he came from the ground and take his empty seat in the classroom.

The young halfa became tangible again revealing his now long dark hair he let grow over the past year although not too much since it only reaches the end of his neck. He still wears his classic white shirt but with a black open t-shirt on top of it. Along with blue jeans and his usual red snickers. The 17 year old boy also grew a bit taller and had a bit more muscular figure although he still appeared thin. He was glad that the teacher was pointing his back against him so it couldn't see that Danny had arrived late.

Mr. Lancer turned around from the blackboard and saw Danny in his seat. The teacher was not amazed by this as he knew that Danny had used his powers to get to school. The middle aged man was shocked at first one year ago when he discovered, along with the world, that Danny Fenton was in fact Danny Phantom the hero who had saved the earth from the Disasteroid. He was happy and proud of Danny and most of all he finally understood his student. The moments he got bad grades, unfinished homework, it was all because he was busy fighting ghost. "At least I hope it's because of that" he thought with chuckle to himself. That however not an obstacle when it came to him being late in class the third time this week. He put the chalk in his table and approached Danny's desk.

"I glad you could join us Mister Fenton." he said to Danny with a look he knew all too well.

Knowing he was busted he look up to Mr. Lancer "After all these years and he still uses the same blue shirt with black tie and blue pants and black shoes." He gave him a knowing smile and said "Sorry I stayed overnight on patrol."

"The third time this week?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah these ghosts are out of control" he answered trying to deny the fact he actually overslept.

"Well I'm glad you could you did it" he also gave him a knowing smile; he wasn't going to let him off the hook. "Oh and by the way I expect you to help me after class to clean the erasers" he trailed off.

"Sure sir." Defeat was in his voice as he realized that he was cough.

It was launch time so Danny went to the cafeteria and seated in table with his two favorite people in the world.

In front of him was his best friend Tucker Foley. Tucker appearance hadn't changed much in last year he still wears a long sleeve yellow shirt with a brown jersey on top, a black belt, green cargo pants and brown boots while wearing a red beret that covered his short black hair along with his traditional glasses. He's sense of humor also hadn't changed neither his obsession with technology as he still carries his PDA that was always up to date according to him.

And beside Danny was his other favorite person in the world, his girlfriend Sam Manson. The last year helped Sam mature more into a fine woman both physically and mentally. She was wearing purple lipstick and her black hair now long enough to fall over her shoulders with a small ponytail at the top of her head held back by a green hair tie. As usual her clothing consists of a black choker around her neck while her upper body consists of a black tank top exposing her midriff with a purple oval in the center. Her lower body consists of a black skirt with a green crosshatch design, purple leggings, and black boots. She also has a pair of black bracelets around her wrists. She was also a bit taller and had a more feminine figure that turned her into the target of many boys in the school, much to her dismay and also Danny's, but she didn't pay much attention to that. Right now she was looking with her amethyst eyes at her boyfriend Danny with an affectionate look. Danny turns and also looks at her with his clear blue eyes and returned the gesture.

The sweet moment didn't last long as Tucker interrupted them.

"Hey dude what happened?" he asked his friend.

Not wanting the moment to end Danny looked at him and said. "Oh nothing, just had a busy night with Technus, apparently he wanted installed an upgrade."

"It didn't give trouble, did he?" asked Sam with concern in her voice.

Danny smile and felt happy with her concern over him. She always did but when they became a couple that concern seemed to have increased.

"Please as if he could beat Danny Phantom hero of Amity Park!" he exclaimed almost jokingly. Sam and Tucker both looked at him and laughed.

"Hey speaking of witch" started Tucker "I can't believe it's been a year since the Disasteroid!"

"Me neither." Said Danny as he remembered all the things that changed in the last year. Everyone in the world now knew that he was Danny Phantom, the hero that used his ghost powers not only to save Amity Park but also the whole world. The first thing he had to deal with was his parents that quickly accepted him.

Flashback

The world was now safe and Danny and his parents, Jack and Maddie, were sitting in the living room of their house. Danny knew that this was inevitable after the events that transpired at the North Pole.

"So, what do you guys think?" he asked his parents with fear of the response.

"You are in big trouble young man." started his parents and Danny closed his eyes as he was expecting some kind of disapproval. However what he got was bear hug from his mother. "Why didn't you tell us sooner Danny? We could have helped you."

"What do you want me to say? Hello mum and dad, guess what? Now your son became the very thing that you work to destroy, a ghost." He asked in disbelief.

"You are our son Danny." It was now Jack, Danny's father, turn to talk. "And no matter what you are or what you become, you will always be our son and we will always love you." He hugged his son too.

Surprised by his father's words, since speeches aren't his type of thing, he asked "Really?"

"Yes." They both lovingly responded as the three of them hugged once more with now tears in their eyes.

End Flashback.

The support of his family, and his friends, helped Danny cope with the whole world knowing who he was. The media chase him around for a while, after who wouldn't like to have an interview with the savior of the world? But eventually it all died down since Danny didn't like to give the media any attention. Right now he was only focused on Amity Park since it was the place with high ghost activity. Luckily for him he was not alone; Valerie also helped him from time to time and also his parents with Jack always insisting to work like a dynamic duo. One major change was the relationship he had with Sam; they were no longer just friends they are now a couple and Danny couldn't be any happier. Having Sam as pillar was a huge boost to him, she would always be there for him when he need her and vice versa. Although they he had his responsibilities as a hero he would always make time for Sam and she was always grateful.

"And I also can't believe they didn't let me stay as the mayor of Amity Park!" Tucker interrupted his train of thoughts.

"Tucker you were too young, you only had 16 at that time." Sam Responded.

"But I had so many great ideas!" he protested.

"Tucker." said Danny. "You wanted to make a law about the mayor having a new secretary." he pointed out.

"Yeah, so?"

"Each day." Sam finished. She and Danny both laughed remembering that day. Now a new mayor has been chosen and has given Danny his full support regarding his status as a hero.

"Hey! You didn't protest when I suggested putting a statue of you on each capital of the world." Tucker said offended to Danny.

"I'm really grateful for that Tucker but you didn't have to put one on every capital."

"Hey is so can everyone knows that my best friend saved the world."

"Thanks bud." Danny still has trouble coping with the fact that the whole world knows him know. There still are things that he can't get used to.

"Hey Fenton!" came a voice from the other side of the cafeteria

"Speaking of one of those things." Danny thought.

Dash Baxter came to the table where Danny and his friend were seated. The blonde quarterback of the Casper High Football team hasn't change so much in the last year; he still wears his usual red jacket with a black shirt underneath, blue jeans and a pair of white snickers. As he came closer to the table he had a scary look on his face. He reached the table and looked at Danny and said:

"Could you please sign this for me?" he asked him giving him a picture of Danny in ghost form beating some ghost.

"Ehh…Sure no problem." Said Danny still not used to this. He grabbed a marker from his bag. "To whom this time?"

"To my cousin, Dash." The blonde responded.

"You have another cousin named Dash?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, from my mother side. And it's very common name." Dash said feeling embarrassed.

The halfa proceeded to sign the photo and when he finished Dash grabbed it and quickly hurried back the way he came. Danny looked at him with disbelief in his eyes.

"You still can't believe he is your number one fan, can you?" Tucker said with a grin.

"Yeah, and it creeps me the hell out." Danny said.

"I guess he still doesn't either." Sam gave her opinion. The boys looked at her not understanding what she said. "I mean the boy he used to bully turns out to be the great Danny Phantom, he still can't believe it. As I can't believe that that's the fourth autograph you signed for him this week." Sam said the last part giggling.

The ring bell and the group prepared to head to their next class. As they stood up Danny palmed his forehead in sign of frustration.

"Oh Yeah I remembered. I have to stay after class helping Mr. Lancer." Danny sighted

"Too bad pal." Tucker said putting a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Wishing for a ghost attack now eh? He joked.

"Not funny Tuck." Danny said not too pleased about staying more time in school. As tucker waved at him, Sam approached to her boyfriend.

"I'll be waiting for you." Said the black haired goth, giving him a kiss on the cheek. They were still shy about giving public sign of affections.

"Have a nice day Mr. Fenton and please don't stay too late tonight." Mr. Lancer said to Danny as he opened the door to him so he can go home.

"I'll try Mr. Lancer."

When Danny exited the school he saw Sam waiting for him. She looked beautiful in his opinion; she also looked way back then and even more now. He was very glad that Sam and he were a couple, she really did helped him get by sometimes whereas as a friend or as his girlfriend.

"Hey! Sam." Danny greeted her. "Thanks for waiting."

"No problem" she said with a smile, a smile that only was for him. Sam was happy as well that they were a couple. Overcoming the fear of friends turning into a couple was hard but they pulled it out so well and she couldn't be any happier. The boy she always loved loved her back.

Danny then took Sam's hand and both of then started walking on the street. Sam leaned over him and asked. "Wanna do something this weekend?"

The half ghost half human didn't take long to respond and said. "Sure, what do you have in mind?"

As Sam was about to answer a mirror in one of the front stores broke and from there came flying a lot a boxes. The pair looked up and so a familiar figure.

"Tremble you mortals and bow in front of the might of the Box Ghost." the blue pale ghost said with his arm lifted. The Ghost wore the same grey round cap and overall.

Danny looked at Sam and she said. "It's okay go, we can decide later." Noticing there was no one close as most people ran, she gave Danny a good luck kiss.

As the kiss ended he said with a teasing smile. "Maybe ghost should attack more often."

He separated from Sam and put both his hands on the air.

"I'm going ghost!" he shouted and the transformation began. His normal clothes now replaced with his trademark black suit with a white "D" stamped on it along with gloves and boots of the same color. His hair turned white and his eyes green.

"Hey! No matter how many boxes you look for, you will never find a brain in one." He taunted.

"It seems you still haven't realized the extent of my powers Ghost kid." The Ghost Box said with confidence.

"He has a high self-esteem I give him that." Danny thought. "I will beat him quickly and everything will return to normal, well as normal as can be."

From a distant rooftop, a cloaked ghost saw the fight that quickly ended.

"It's time for another test."
