Lance Thunder woke up, got ready and was driving to work by three-thirty. As he drove, he listened to the early morning radio and at a stop light, illegally snuck a peak at his email using his phone. He managed to sort through most of his emails. A few from work, two asking if he wanted to increase his size, another wanting to know if he wanted to go polygamy and marry some Persian lady, several emails from viewers of the new story with tips or a story for him.
Soon he reached the news building and walked in. His co-worker was getting her make-up on, and the intern was re-checking the weather stats. Lance set to work on checking the rest of his email. Some of the "Danny Phantom" emails had replied. Some agreed to do the interview, more than some declined. A few sent him weblinks to some disturbing websites. With all the ones that accepted his request, he sent back if they would be able to and agree to a video-chat interview. See? That was slick in his view. Danny Phantom obviously doesn't like to be talking to people face to face.
Before he was set to go in front of the camera, he checked his email on his phone again. One of the "Danny Phantom" people had replied, declining with the excuse of he didn't have a webcam. Lance put the phone off to the side on his desk as the cameras turned on a began to roll.
"Good morning Amity Park, this is Harriet Chin."
"And Lancer Thunder. Late last night at about midnight a drunk driver swerved off the road while traveling down Macintosh Road and crashed into the Dunking Donuts."
"Unfortunately. The driver drove straight into the main window, obviously destroying everything in it's path. There were ten customers in the shop, but thankfully the only injuries were some bruises and scraps. The driver was immediately arrested and taken downtown.
"In other news, Vlad Masters, Amity Park's own billionaire is running for Senator!" Harriet continued. "Mr. Masters is running against last year's Senator Diana Tanner."
"Good luck to him on that. Speaking of the famous, Danny Phantom was supposedly reported walking into Wal-Mart yesterday," Lance said, half-chuckling as he continued. "He was immediately arrested by local authorities and taken down the jail, though upon further investigation revealed that he's simply a look-alike. He requested for his name to not be released, but the teen boy was a tourist from Texas that just happened to have the same hair and eye color as the ghost boy. The parents are pressing charges against Amity Park Police for this mistake, saying that the panic caused their son's respiratory disease to react, which could have resulted in a hospital visit. So, they state, the police brought everybody's attention to him and now nobody will leave him alone."
"Also, for all you Breakaway fans, we're sorry to report that Danny Phantom released a statement saying, quote 'My friend forced the book into my hands. Although it didn't suck as much as I expected, I'm a superhero, not an actor. Also stop following me because I am not a very interesting person. Go interview people that want attention, like Rebecca Black or Charlie Sheen.' Ah, I'm a little disappointed now," Harriet admitted. "I'm wondering who they're going to turn to next."
"Either way, speaking of Danny Phantom, let's switch to Shelby Janes who is on the scene of Casper High, where they're already prepping the gym and football field for the celebration."
The scene switched to Shelby on the field. People are building and setting up a Ferris Wheel, small rides and booths.
"Thank you Harriet, as you can see, everybody is very excited for the celebration. We have a Ferris Wheel, that's just come in early this morning. Right over here we have a small train for the little ones, and for the teen ones, though it hasn't come in yet it's expected to be here tomorrow night or early Thursday morning, is going to be a Tilt-a-Whirl. The morning of the event you can expect to see a bounce house being put up, and we'll also have a stage where we can expect some live entertainment."
"Hey, hey Shelby? Do you know what entertainment we'll have?" Lance asked through the station.
"Uh, I know they're going to have a chance for people who are horrible singers like me to do karaoke, people are signing up for a talent show, they have Dumpty Humpty booked to play Saturday night, it's just going to be fabulous."
"Is there going to be a prize for this karaoke event?" Harriet asked.
"Not that I know of, no," Shelby replied. "There IS a few official contests though. There's going to be a cake-off, where people bring in cake in the shape of ghosts or of Danny Phantom. If you've been into your local bakery lately you might have seen a flier for it, but I'm not sure. There's also going to be costume contest, that'll be interesting to see. Over there we're going to have a raffle, and if you win you get a Danny Phantom themed-baskets. All of these booths are going to have some form of food or game, so don't worry if you can't cook, dress yourself or just unlucky."
It switches to back into the two in the studio. Soon the show ended and Lance checked his phone. He got the rest of the emails back. Only one agreed to do a live video chat, to just send the time. Lance quickly typed in a time for that night.
Danny's phone beeped when Lance finally typed back. Sam and Tucker raised an eyebrow at him as they sat down at their usual table. Danny took out his phone. He checked and sighed before putting it back into his pocket.
"You sure you wanna go through this?" Sam asked.
"I'm sure," Danny said softly. "I mean, maybe I can finally get the story straight before Friday."
"Why before Friday?" Tucker asked, his mouth full of food.
"I...was kind of hoping...that I could go to the celebration as Danny Phantom," Danny reluctantly admitted. Sam smiled.
"That would cool. I mean, lots of kids will be there. Just practice your signature DP," Sam teased lightly. Danny smiled back and rolled his eyes.
Lance waited impatiently at his computer. He checked his webcam to make sure it was working several times. The Mac was working fine. He kept glancing for the button saying Danny Phantom was online to appear so that he could immediately invite him to a chat. The seconds felt like hours.
Finally, the little box turned green. He was on! Lance immediately invited him to a conversation.
Danny sighed on the other end of the computer when the invitation popped up. He walked to his door and looked out it. His parents were in the lab and Jazz was still in her room, reading. He closed it and locked it before sitting back down at his computer. Turning into Danny Phantom, he clicked accept as soon as he finished changing.
It sounded cheesy, but Lance nearly peed himself and squealed in excitement when it informed him that Danny Phantom accepted after about two minutes of nothing happening. A window opened, was black a moment before Danny Phantom's familiar face finally popped up. Lance couldn't believe it. On the other in, Danny snorted.
"Nice pajamas," Danny told him dryly.
In the review WHICH YOU WILL TYPE, leave some questions for Lance to ask Danny. BESIDES THE OBVIOUS.
