I do not own Danny Phantom, which is owned by Butch Hartman, and I also do not own 'The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet', written by William Shakespeare.D
As Danny walked into his house, he noted his parents turning and looking at him, looking rather happy. He raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, what's up?" He asked. Maddie only continued to smile.
"So, how did you do in reading lines?" She said. Danny shrugged.
"Uh...Not...That...Good?" He lied. Jack crossed his arms with a grin.
"Really? Because we got an email from Mr. Lancer that you are VERY good at it, and there's no chance of him dropping you from the role." Jack said. Danny turned red and frowned.
"Oh, c'mon...I'M BEING FORCED INTO CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT!" He shouted. But his ghost sense went off. Sighing, he went ghost, waved a quick 'bye' to his parents, and flew out of the house. Looking around, a net came from behind him and knocked him down, he struggling. Skulker landed in front of him.
"Whaddya want, Skulker?" Danny hissed. Skulker's metal grin was the most apparent feature on him at the moment.
"Well, ghost child. I'm not here to hunt you...For today. Rather, I want answers for a rumor." He said. Danny sighed and tore out of the net.
"Fine, what do ya wanna know?" He said irritably.
"Are you really going to play Romeo for the annual play that's said to go on here?" Skulker asked, crossing his arms. Danny blushed.
"Uhh...Yeah..." He said. Skulker was silent for a minute, before he fell down, laughing so hard he would cry if he was not a tiny ghost inside of an exoskeleton. Danny turned even redder.
"Hoho! The ghost child being forced to play Romeo? Oh, this is PRICELESS! Alright...Hehe...I'm done. Goodbye for now, ghost child." Skulker said, getting up and flying off.
Danny frowned and flew back to his house, turning human again. Maddie turned and smiled.
"Oh, welcome back, sweetie. Wha'd the ghost want?"
"He wanted confirmation that I was playing Romeo...And now all the ghosts probably know." Danny said angrily. Maddie only put an arm around him.
"Aw, sweetie, who cares about what the ghosts think? No need to be embarrassed. The only part you have to be embarrassed about is when you and Sam kiss onstage, and Jack and I taking pictures and sending them to everyone we know." Maddie said with a small giggle. Danny only kept his red face.
"Are you KIDDING me? Dipstick's playing Romeo?" Ember shouted when her boyfriend told her, and most of the other ghosts in the Ghost Zone. Skulker nodded.
"Yep. THIS is going to be funny...One of us will HAVE to get that on tape. It's too funny to pass up." He said. All the ghosts laughed out loud, almost rocking the Ghost Zone with their laughter.
