Hey, guys. I'm so happy to see that people really enjoyed my first chapter! This is the second chapter. I already had this one written down and I didn't have time to type it yesterday. This chapter is going to shift to Danny now. Enjoy! I'll try and brainstorm for more chapters soon!

Chapter 2: Life is Good

"Oh, crud!" Danny exclaimed as he ran down the hallway of his school. "That stupid Box Ghost is gonna make me late for the assembly!"

Danny Fenton, a fifteen year old boy that lives in Amity Park, is also the teen ghost hero, Danny Phantom that saves his town from ghost attacks. After the explosion of his parents' ghost portal with the attempted removal of Danny's ghost powers, Jack and Maddie went right to work on fixing it. He then sought the help of Clockwork, the ghost of time. Danny asked him to make it so no one would remember his secret identity after the incident with the 'Desateroid' that almost destroyed the planet. Clockwork honored his wish. Now only his friends Tucker Foley and Sam Mansion, and his older sister Jazz, remember everything.

After this, Danny went and found Vlad Master's portal and destroyed it. He wanted to make sure that ghosts would only be able to come out of the Fenton portal so he could be surer of where they would come from and be more prepared for an attack. Vlad is once again the mayor of Amity Park since no one remembers that he is an evil half ghost that tried to take over the world. But Vlad has not come after Danny yet and this put Danny on edge. He figured he would want revenge for ruining his life, but for now, nothing was happening. What could Vlad possibly be planning?

But today, Danny had other concerns. Once again, the Box Ghost was up to his old tricks. He was trying to crush Danny with some greasy old pizza boxes he found outside of a pizzeria. And as usual, Danny defeated him easily and he was sucked into the Fenton Thermos. This little fight, however, was going to make him late for the assembly that Mr. Lancer, the vice principle, had called for. The students were going to be told the name of the student they were paired with from the other high school. Danny wasn't absolutely sure about what had happened at the other school that forced them to transfer his, but shook off the thought once he reached his destination.

Danny had made it to the auditorium with seconds to spare. The last groups of students were entering through the doors, including his friend Tuck and his new girlfriend Sam. Sam and Danny had stayed together after the incident with the asteroid, and now they were officially a couple. He saw his friends and sped up next to them.

Sam nearly jumped out of her skin. "Danny, don't do that. You really scared me! Where have you been?" she asked with concern in her voice.

"Don't ask," Danny replied.

"Let me guess," Tucker interjected, "ghost attack, right?"

"I don't think that idiot Box Ghost will ever understand the concept of losing," Danny said annoyed.

"Well, I'm glad you made it," Sam said. "Not to make you guys think that I changed my dark outlook on the world, but I'm sort of excited to meet these kids from the other high school. What was it called again, Norissville?"

"Yeah, this could be fun," Tucker agreed. "By the way, do we even know why they need to come here in the first place?" No one knew a whole lot about the situation at the neighboring school. The teachers didn't say much, they never did.

"I don't know," Danny thought. "I remember Lancer saying that their school wasn't a 'stable learning environment' at the moment and the Casper high was willing to take them in."

Tucker was thinking about the possibilities. "Maybe it had something to do with the Ninja that lives there," Tucker guessed.

Danny became confused. "Ninja?" Danny questioned. "What Ninja?"

Sam gave him a strange look. "Really, you don't know about him?"

"No, not really." he answered. "Should I know about him? I don't watch the news too much. What does this guy do?"

"Danny," Tucker said, "He's just like you. He's Norissville's hero. He fights these really weird looking monsters and robots. He's always on the news, which apparently, you do watch. They always talk about his battles and how he leaves without a trace. Sound familiar?"

Danny looked at Sam. "Is that true, Sam? Am I not the only hero out there?" Danny's face turned grim.

"Aww, don't worry about it. Sure he does cool things, but you'll always be my favorite crime fighter, don't forget that," she said in the most comforting way possible.

Danny gave her a big smile. "I'm glad I have you around." They stared into each other's eyes for a little bit. After all they've been through together; they wondered why it took them so long to admit their true feelings for each other.

The three friends took their seats near the back of the auditorium and waited for the meeting to begin. Danny was still curious about this Ninja Tuck had mentioned.

"Hey, Tuck," Danny asked, "Do you know anything else about the Ninja?"

"Not too much, no. Nobody knows a whole lot about him. He shows up to fight and then disappears. I do know that he has been around for a while though, a lot longer than you've been. There are pictures and videos that date back to the mid 80s! He's probably been around longer than that!" Tucker seemed really into this subject, by why?

"Really, the 80s? That's impressive," Danny thought out loud. "It's hard to believe that the same person has been fighting for that long. I'd figure you would need someone to replace him every so often."

This caught Sam's attention. "Actually," she said to Danny, "we think you might be right. I didn't believe it at first, but Tucker convinced me. Show him," she commanded Tucker.

Tucker pulled out his PDA and went online to look up videos of the Ninja. "I've been telling Sam about this recently. There are videos online of the Ninja people have taken and I think I have made an interesting discovery!"

Tucker pulled up a video from five years ago. The Ninja was fighting a monster with six eyes and strong looking arms. The Ninja himself was pretty tall and scrawny looking. He seemed to be taunting the monster. "Is that the best you can do?" the Ninja asked the monster as he charged to attack. His voice sounded like it was in the range of a young man.

"Why does his voice sound like a boy's?" Danny asked them. "Shouldn't he be older if he's been around for as long as you say?"

"Wait, I'm not done," Tuck said ignoring Danny's question. "Now take a look at this video from two years ago." He pulled up another video. The Ninja was so much different.

He was shorter and a lot more muscular. This was defiantly not the same guy that was in the last video. This Ninja was fighting a giant, three-headed monster. Danny could hear the Ninja complaining, "Of all the days for a robot to attack…" The voice from this Ninja was much deeper than others. Danny did not comprehend.

"How is that possible?" Danny asked in astonishment. "That cannot be the same guy that was in the last video. What's going on?!" Danny nearly shouted.

"Calm down, I have a theory," Tucker responded. "But check out this video only from a few months ago, back in October."

The Ninja in this video was a lot different than the others. He was a lot smaller. Danny could tell that there had to be an age difference. The Ninja was fighting a giant praying mantis robot. He could hear the Ninja yell "You can take my swords, but you'll never take my air fist!" The voice from this Ninja was higher than the other two. Then Danny saw the Ninja create a gust of wind with his own hands. He shot it at the robot and the mantis's head came clean off. It flew through the air and landed on the other side of the field.

In the background, the friends could see a school behind the fight. Danny remembered seeing the same school in the other two videos.

"That must be the high school these kids are coming from," Danny realized. He tried to read the name above the school. "Norissville High."

"All of these videos show the school. And there are more videos just like these." Tucker explained. "This makes me think that this school and the Ninja are linked somehow."

"Hold on a second, Tuck," Danny said. "What are you trying to say here? You're not telling me that…"

"That the Ninja could be a student at the high school." Tuck interrupted. "Yes, that's what I believe. I think that is why the Ninja is a different person in each of these videos and why they seem so young, to answer your question from earlier."

"I still don't understand something," Sam said, after keeping quiet for a while. "Why does this last Ninja look so much smaller and younger than the other two did?"

Tuck began explaining. "Well, if my calculations are correct, and they usually are, I'd say that there is a new Ninja every four years. Norissville High starts at freshman year. That's why he looks so much smaller than the other two, Sam. The job must be passed down to a freshman for the next four years. It all makes sense! That means that this new Ninja is a freshman, just like us!"

This was a lot of new information for Danny to process. "A kid just like me," is all he could say. Then Danny wondered something. Why was Tuck bringing up this Ninja guy anyway? "Tuck, just out of curiosity, why…"

Just then, Mr. Lancer had just started to speak into the microphone up on stage. His question would have to wait.

"Hello, children," Mr. Lancer began. "I have called this meeting to remind you all of the guests that will be arriving tomorrow from our neighboring town, Norissville. They may be a little frightened by having to transfer to a new school on such short notice, so let's make them feel like part of the Casper High family!" The auditorium kept silent. Mr. Lancer coughed into his hand had awkwardly picked up a list of the students' names. "As most of you have probably forgotten, you have also been assigned with a student that you are to take home until they are able to return to theirs. To make things easier, we have paired each of you with a student who is in the same grade. For example, if you are in 9th grade, you will be paired with another student in 9th grade, unless there is a special occasion where this student has an older sibling, than you will have two guests.

At hearing this, Danny, Sam, and Tucker all looked at each other with the same expression of surprise.

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Tuck whispered to them.

"Really, Tuck," Danny said, "even if you are right about this whole Ninja business, what are the chances of one of us getting paired with that one student?"

"Danny's right," Sam added. "We can't go around asking every 9th grade boy if he is the Ninja. And I doubt that he tell us anyway. If he's like Danny, he wouldn't let anyone know who he is. Why do you think he wears the mask? Because it's a fashion statement?" Sam asked sarcastically.

Tucker thought about this, and then realized something. "True, but if he's also like Danny, this kid has got to have one friend who knows everything. A kid can't just have a secret like that and not tell anyone. I'd figure that kid would go insane!"

"Where would we eve start?" Danny asked Tucker, hoping there was a point for all of this new information. Why is he telling me this now? Danny thought to himself.

"I guess we'll have to play it by ear," Tucker replied.

At that moment, Lancer began to read of the names of the students that have been paired together. Everyone in the crowd stopped talking at the same time. They all wanted to know who they were going to share their homes with. One by one, the students' names were called in alphabetical order, when Lancer finally reached the F's.

"Danny Fenton is paired with a Randy Cunningham. Tucker Foley, you will have two guests because they are brother and sister. A Howard and Heidi Weinerman." Lancer continued with the list.

"Hmm," Danny thought. "Randy. He sounds nice enough. I hope he's not like Dash…" Danny trailed off.

"Cool, a brother and sister," Tucker said. "Better tell my mom that she's going to have one more mouth to feed."

Sam became annoyed. "Why can't my name be up at the top? I hate waiting!"

Lancer took his time reading the names of the students. At last, he reached the M's.

"Sam Manson, your partner is a Theresa Fowler."

"Almost sounds like Flower," Sam murmured. "I hate flowers. But who am I to judge?"

"Remind me to never but you any," Danny nudged Sam. She began to blush and then turned her head away.

Finally, Lancer had finished with the pairings. "Tomorrow, you are to report to the school gym at 8:00 A.M. sharp. You will be given name tags so that the students from Norissville will be able to recognize you. The students from Norissville will also be wearing name tags. Once you find your partner or partners, you will introduce yourself and proceed to give them a tour of the school. After this, you will welcome them into your homes. I know you will have just met, but you might learn something new from them. Keep an open mind. You are dismissed."

Lancer walked off stage while everyone prepared to leave. When the three friends got outside, they saw their parents waiting for them.

"Well," Danny started, "I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"If you guys can, ask your partner if they know more about the Ninja. If we can find him, he might actually be helpful to you, Danny," Tucker said hopefully.

Danny realized why Tuck had mentioned the Ninja. He was hoping that they would team up. That'll be the day! Danny thought. Ok, Tuck, I'll play your game. Danny began to laugh. "I'll believe that when I see it," he retorted. "I'm gonna need more than videos to show me what he's all about. See you guys later!"

He gave Sam a kiss on the cheek before he left. The friends said their goodbyes as they left with their parents to go home and prepare for their arriving guests.

Ok, there it is. I'm leaving for Spain in a few days for two weeks and I'm not sure when I will be able to update. This will give me time to brainstorm for the continuation of the story. As before, leave comments to tell me what you think. Thanks guys.
