Okay I know I said this would be updated tomorrow, but becasue of the veiws I recived on the first chapter and the small succsess it has had, plus I'm in a great mood I'll bump up the schedule by a day, with chapter 2 released today and chapter 3 tomorrow and chapter four on Boxing day. Also I didn't think you guys would want the image and descriptions of a stomach flu sick Danny in your heads on Christmas Day so that's another reason, this chapter is a little short, actully this whole story is shorter then I usally make them, anyways check back tomorrow for the next chapter, enjoy.
WARNING: CHAPTER CONTAINS A STOMACH FLU SICK DANNY
Chapter II: A Sick Hero
Danny opened his ice blue eyes as the rays of a new day's sun pierced through his curtains. Danny groaned as he pushed himself out of bed, getting an uncomfortable, painful feeling in his gut. Danny, grabbed his stomach, he could hardly stand; he was slowly making his way to the door. Danny could have sworn his vision blurred for a minute as he opened his door, before making his way to the bathroom; to get ready for school. Danny however got another uncomfortable feeling in his gut, which he had felt before; he looked up to see Jazz walking up the stairs, spotting him.
"Danny, are you alright, you don't look good?" she said with concern of seeing her brother.
"Uh…I don't think so; I can hardly…stand without feeling weird." Danny said woozily. Jazz placed her hand on Danny's forehead; it was warm, which was weird due to his Halfa status.
"Hold on, I'll let mom know, you might have a fever." she said running of to get a thermometer.
Danny walked into the bathroom, head hanging over the sink; he looked into the mirror hanging in front of him. Jazz was right, he did look horrible, his hair was messier than usual, he had dark lines under his eyes, he looked a little pale and he could see droplets of sweat on his forehead and his eyes didn't have their icy blue look, they looked dull. Was he really sick, it would be very unlikely; Danny had a strong immunity system, due to his half-ghost status. Danny thought about it, he could only recall one or two times he had been sick since the accident. There was a knock on the door, and then next second Maddie came in with a thermometer in her hand.
"Hey sweetie, Jazz told me that you might be sick." she said.
"Yeah…I don't know, I hardly ever get sick, ever since the portal."
"We'll let's just make sure, just hold this under your tongue for a minute, I'll be right back."
With that Maddie placed the thermometer in Danny's mouth and left the room. Danny looked at himself, he probably was sick. Suddenly he felt a strange pain, Danny grabbed his chest and gasped; it only lasted a couple seconds. Danny started to cough, like he was choking on something, he closed his eyes as he went into a fit, a red mist pouring from his mouth. As suddenly as it appeared it stopped, the thermometer falling out of Danny's mouth as he threw himself towards the toilet, just in time as the next second later, Danny emptied his stomach. There was another knock on the door.
"Danny, we heard you coughing from downstairs, are you alright?" his mother asked through the door.
"No, I'm sick; I think I've got the stomach flu."
"Oh my poor baby, alright then, go back to bed, I'll call the school and let them know you won't be able to attend."
Maddie turned around and walked downstairs into the kitchen, picking up the phone. However before she could their doorbell rang. Maddie looked out the window to see a familiar Goth girl standing in front of the door. Maddie walked over and opened the door.
"Hey Mrs. Fenton, is Danny ready yet, or did he have to take care of something?"
"I'm sorry Sam; Danny's actually not feeling well today, he's come down with something"
"Is he alright?"
"It's probably just the stomach flu, he should be fine in a day or two, and by the way, how's your arm doing?" Maddie asked pointing to Sam's arm, still broken and in a cast from her encounter with Hacker.
"It's doing better, hopefully I can have the cast removed by next week, oh well, tell Danny I hope he gets better soon. Oh also make sure to tell him that we'll take care of any ghosts that decide to show." Sam said as she started to walk away.
"I'll let him know, have a nice day Sam."
"You two Mrs. Fenton."
Sam walked away from Fenton works, making her way to school. Thinking to herself, having the stomach flu was never fun, hopefully it's not a big thing and Danny would be better by tomorrow, hopefully nothing bad will happen, or at least nothing that a leaderless Team Phantom could handle.
Meanwhile in the Ghsot Zone, a shadowy figure was darting across the green void. It had lost track of how long it has been in this monsterous zone but they knew it had been years, maybe even decades. Suddenly it spotted a swirling green mass, the shadowy figure darted towards it. The figure passed through the thing and emerged in a room, it looked like a lab of some sort, but much more advanced to what the figure was used to. There was a big fat man in an orange jumpsuit that was working on something. The figure rose into the air and turned invisible as a woman in a blue jumpsuit walked down and entered to room, noticing the portal.
"Jack, honey, I thought we agreed to keep The Ghost Portal closed?" said the woman who walked over and shut off the swirling mass.
"Sorry Mads, I must have forgot to shut it off, I've been busy working on a little something."
"Okay, but we can't have any ghosts escaping escpecilly today, Danny's sick and is in no condition to fight any ghosts today."
"Danny's sick, he never get's sick?"
"Well I already called his school, they know he's not attending today."
The figure, growing tired of the conversation, turned around and phased through the roof before leaving the building. It looked around, like it was scanning the area. It was Amity Park, it had changed since it was last here, but it was pretty much the same, the figure turned around, looking in a direction that was familier with it. The figure turned to see Casper High School, just about to begin, the studants heading towards it. The figure smiled, an evil grin creeping across their face, it had finally come back, she had finally returned. The figure laughed a spine chilling laugh, like that of the wicked whitch of the west, before heading straight towards Casper High, look out studants, Ms. Bitters, has returned.
Okay like I said not a long chapter, tomorrow's chapter will also be a little short, Now I want to take some time to address a few things, first of all, I decided that Danny should have a strong immunity system, I mean think about it, the only time I remember Danny ever being sick or saying he was sick (that wasn't an excuse) was from What you Want when he and Tucker caught a cold, so I thought why not make Danny pretty much immune to stuff. Also this story will be an intersting one for me to write, most of Danny's sickness and what he goes through (aside from his ghost powers) will be based on my experience. Also please do not ask why Sam's arm is broken I made it clear last chapter and this one that Sam's arm was broken by Hacker in Sound and Fury, this is why it's good to read my stories in order. For anything else, what's Jack working on, why was Danny's ghost sense red, what's in store for Casper High, tune in tomorrow and for the rest of the story to find out, until then, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, or what ever you celebrate.
