Jack couldn't believe his eyes. This couldn't be happening! Not just one but two (TWO!) teenagers could see him! Then the white haired kid swept the black haired girl up into his arms and flew towards him!
Now, this being Danny Phantom, Jack should have been expecting this, but he wasn't so he toppled over backwards. "WIND!" He shouted. "Pick me up!" A blast of icy wind caught him and deposited him back on the statue.
The two teens were staring at him open mouthed. "Erm..." Jack said rolling his crook between his hands. He wasn't too used to hero worship, especially from heroes!
"Wow!" The white haired boy said. "When Sam told me your myth I was expecting someone much older and grouchier with a scowl and a crooked back," He slouched forward scowling and waved his arms in faux anger at his sides. "I'm gonna give you all colds just for being outside!" He said in a grumpy old man voice. Jack couldn't stop laughing.
"Well, I've heard your story too, Danny," He said once he had his laughter under control. "I thought the saviour of the Earth would be more mature."
The black haired girl doubled over laughing. "Urm... Is she always like this?" He mouthed to the ghost boy. He shook his head.
"Er... Sam," Danny said looking at the girl. "What's so funny?"
"Sorry, sorry," She said. "It's just... He's right Danny!"
"Humph!" Danny said crossing his arms over his chest. "So Jack?"
"Umhm," Jack replied.
"Can you really control winter?" Danny asked, going back into adoring fan mode.
"Yep!" Jack replied. "Snow anyone?" Jack gave his crook a quick shake before pointing it at the sky. I blast of icy blue energy shot from the end into the dark snow clouds. After a few seconds flakes of snow began falling and twirling to the ground.
Excited children came from inside houses and Jack grinned before slashing his crook in a downwards motion. Immediately the snow picked up. Within seconds there was a generous coating of snow on the floor.
"That's cool!" Danny said. He held his hands out, palms pointing towards Jack. His glowing green eyes became icy blew and his ghostly aura brightened also becoming icy blue. Jack looked on in interest. The whites of Danny's eyes became the same blue as his irises and the glow around his hands became brighter and brighter. To both Danny and Jack this took hours when in reality it was barely a second before twin blasts of icy energy shot from the palms of Danny's hands. As it extended further from Danny his eyes glowed brighter and the blasts changed direction right in front of Jack. Now the icy energy shot up a few feet before exploding into a miniature snow storm. Danny's glow faded and his eyes returned to normal. "Never tried that before!" He said holding a hand to his forehead. Jack looked at the snow that was not of his creation in wonder. This was amazing!
"This is amazing, Phantom!" Jack said looking to the teen.
"Please call me Danny!" Danny said. While Jack looked at the snow Danny created a snowball in his hand. Now ordinary snowballs tend to splat creating a small impact with little snow, but a ghost snowball can be no bigger than a tennis ball and still create an entire snow drift of their own. Danny enjoyed doing this, it had won him countless snowball fights! Dani was still working on this particular ability.
"Hey Jack!" Sam said. Danny took this as an opening and threw the ball at the back of the winter spirits head. As impact was made the small ball exploded into a, as described previously, snow drift knocking the 318 year old into the bangs of Danny's statue. Laughter exploded from the drift in the hair of the statue.
"Of course," Jack said, rising from the snow. "You know this means WAR!" As he yelled the last word the wind changed direction bringing the snow with it. The wind hit Danny first so he had time to duck down and do something he had never done before. He did it on instinct, like his first ecto-shield. He raised his hands above his head and an ice shield formed itself in a dome shape over him. He shot a blast out towards Sam, freezing her combat boots to the statue.
Danny felt the wind pick up and he pushed harder against his shield thickening it and extending it to cover Sam. Just as he had got it round Sam the wind picked up again. A crack appeared in the top of the dome. The crack spread. In daunting slow motion the dome shield shattered. Once his face was clear of the shield Danny felt a sharp whipping across it. He looked over at Jack, who laughed and then Danny could only see white.
The wind dropped back to normal and Danny laughed with Jack, wiping the snow from his face. He smiled mischievously and his eyes, once again became icy blue orbs. A white gloved hand extended towards Jack and a blizzard blasted from the palm. Jack was mid-laugh when the miniature blizzard hit him. A blast of snow, hard as nails and fast as lightening hit him in the side. Once again Jack was knocked into the bangs of the statue, after climbing up during his retaliation. The snow fight, for there were no snowballs involved, took to the sky then. Sam was left, her boots frozen, on top of the statue.
