Everyone knows who Danny is now. The world seems to respect him. What happens when he goes back to school?


Chapter 2:

Back In School

Danny was woken up the next morning by the sound of his mother knocking on the door. "Danny time to wake up! Famous super heroes still have to go to school."

He sighed. In all of the events of the past few days he'd completely forgotten about school. He lay in his bed and looked up at the space ships hanging over it for a moment. What would things be like now at school? He'd always been bullied, no one respected him, in a word he was a loser. This was the first time people at school knew that he was Danny Phantom. Would they treat him differently now.

He got out of bed and got dressed. As he was packing his backpack he realized he hadn't done any homework! This was horrible! He already had bad grades in several classes. He was definitely going to fail now!

He went downstairs feeling miserable. Then he realized it was kind of ridiculous. He'd just saved the world from being destroyed and he was currently being revered internationally as a great hero. And here he was stressing out about school! He had worse things to worry about than whether he had an F for the quarter in Lancers class.

His family was already in the kitchen having breakfast. He sat down and his mother put a plate of waffles in front of him.

"Eat up Danny. You've got a big day of school and saving the world," Mrs. Fenton said.

His father pulled out some big machine that looked like a bazooka. "Check this out Danny. I call it the Fenton Ghost Shooter. I figured you could use it. It's the perfect weapon for blasting ghosts to bits."

Danny stared at it for a moment wondering how his father expected him to carry around the giant machine. He doubted he could even lift it. "Um thanks dad but I don't really need any weapons like this. I do have super powers after all."

"Aw but Danny, you should try it. I'm telling you it's really powerful. See? Check it out." It lit up and was about to fire.

"Jack!" Mrs. Fenton exclaimed. "Not in the house!"

He turned it off.

"Dad, you can't just barge in on Danny's life like this," Jazz said. "Even if you know his secret. He's gotten along just fine all this time. Why would he need this ridiculous weapon?"

Mr. Fenton put down the weapon. "It's the thought that counts Jazz."

"Do you want a ride to school Danny?" Jazz asked after breakfast.

"No thanks Jazz," Danny said grabbing his bag. "I think I'll just fly. Bye everyone." He went out the front door, changed into a ghost, then flew through the air. When people saw him, they pointed and waved to him. It was weird. He wasn't used to this.

He was going in the opposite direction of the school though. In a few minutes he arrived at Sam's mansion. He passed through the wall of her room and changed back into his human self. He looked around but she wasn't in there. He shrugged and sat on the bed and waited for her. It was still early. H doubted she'd left the house yet.

His eyes landed on the picture on her night table of her, him and Tucker taking a picture with Tucker's phone. She was so beautiful. More beautiful than any other girl he'd ever met. He didn't know why it had taken them so long to be together. If he had known all these years that he and Sam were so perfect together, he would have kissed her and given her the ring a long time ago.

Suddenly her bathroom door opened and she walked out with only a towel wrapped around her and her hair was wet. She gasped when she saw him and he jumped back surprised as well. "Danny! What are you doing here?!" she exclaimed.

He didn't answer right away. He was too distracted with seeing Sam like this. For all of Danny's attributes he was still a guy. And when a guy sees his girlfriend just out of the shower wearing only a towel, he can't help but stare.

"Danny…!"

"Um, sorry Sam!" he said. "I-I was just going to take you to school and…and I didn't think you would be…I mean…"

She couldn't help but smile. "It's okay. I'm not mad."

He sighed relieved. "Good."

"But for the future, let's both agree that when you come pick me up for school, maybe you should use the front door."

He nodded realizing how much he was blushing. "Right." He stood up. "I guess I'll…"

"You don't have to go now," she said. She went over to her closet and grabbed her clothes. "I'll be right out." She went back into the bathroom to change.

When she came out he came over to her. "Ready to go?"

"Yeah," she said grabbing her bag. He picked her up, turn them both intangible, and then they flew to school.

She was holding onto him tightly. He chuckled. "Loosen up Sam. Have I ever dropped you before?"

She giggled. "No. I don't expect you to." She rested her head in his neck. "Is this going to be a new thing?"

"It depends, do you want it to be?"

"I don't mind." She noticed everyone down below waving and taking pictures. "You're a celebrity now."

"Yeah, I don't know if that's a good thing or not," he said.

"It could be."

They arrived at the school and he landed and put her now. The first person they saw was Tucker. "So you're carrying her to school now? That's new," he said.

Sam rolled her eyes and pulled his hat down over his eyes.

As they walked into the school everyone stared at him. Girls actually said hi to him, guys patted him on the back. People were huddled around talking about him, some gave him admiring looks. He felt like he was under a microscope.

"Hey Fenton!" said Dash coming around the corner with his group of football players.

Danny cringed. "Oh great, here it comes."

"Dash can't do anything to you," Tucker said. "He knows who you are now. He wouldn't dare touch you. If he tries, just blast him into next Tuesday."

"No, don't do that Danny," Sam said. "You'll only get yourself in trouble. I guarantee you the principal will use it as an excuse to suspend you."

Dash approached them. "So you think you're some big shot now, huh?"

Danny glared at him. "Leave me alone Dash. I'm not in the mood for it."

"I just wanted to say congrats Fenton."

Danny's eyes got wide. "Really? I mean, you're not joking or anything…?"

"No I'm not," Dash rolled his eyes. "Geez, can't a guy give his classmate a compliment every once in a while?"

"Um, thanks."

"But don't think this means I'm going to start liking you now Fenton. You're still a punk." With that, he and his friends went around them.

"In other words, I think that means he'll be stealing your lunch money later," Tucker said. He laughed. "Or at least trying to."

"I can't worry about Dash right now," Danny said. "I still have to figure out what I'm going to do when I got to Lancers class and don't have my homework."

"Of all the things in the world you're worrying about homework?!" Tucker said.

"Crazy, isn't it?"


He was in Lancers class that morning.

"I hope you all read and did your reports. I'll be collecting those now." He went around the room and collected everyone's papers. He stopped at Danny's desk. "Fenton, your report?"

"I um, I don't have it sir," he said.

"See me after class."

Danny sighed. He knew he was going to get yelled at. It wouldn't be the first time.

Sam turned around in front of him and put her hand on his. "Hey don't worry. Maybe he'll let you off easy."

"I hope so."

After class everyone left. Sam kissed Danny's cheek before she left. "It won't be that bad."

He went over to Lancers desk. "Look, I'm really sorry I don't have my homework. There was just a lot going on and…"

"Danny, I understand."

"You do?" Danny said surprised.

"I'll give you an extra day to finish your homework. Just this once. However, I don't want this happening all the time. I know you're a super hero, but you still have to do my homework. Understand?"

"Yes, sir. Thank you!"
