Scene 3.
"Police did apprehend all three criminals, who had each broken their parole to work together in the heist. The chase was a difficult one, and two officers were wounded." The TV in the Fentonworks laboratory droned through the facts of the action that had taken place just a few blocks away hours ago. Danny had perked up to listen. Three faces, along with names, blinked across the screen: Patricia McGee, Lee Checkov, and Jevon White. His parents, busy innovating beside him, had heavily requested he do his homework in the lab, so that he could help them when need be. "Unfortunately, the perpetrators' getaway vehicle was vacant of the loot, some twenty-thousand dollars worth of jewelry. Police verify that the stolen getaway car had been in their sights since it picked up the criminals. When asked how loot's movement may have escaped their notice, those at the scene did not comment.
"In related news, young Daniel 'Phantom' Fenton was seen protecting two bystanders from the getaway car's fast approach." The mentioned boy flinched at the way the reporter said his name, and the picture of his duel faces, one next to the other, flashed on the news screen. Nostalgia brought him back to when he was just known by his (totally awesome) ghostly name: Danny Phantom, and nothing else. Now he just sounded like some washed up baseball star. At least 'Inviso-bill' was a thing of the past.
"The footage, taken on the camera phone of an anonymous source, can be seen here. The truck made no attempt to stop, and therefore, the driver, one Lee Checkov, may be treated more harshly by the court for reckless endangerment, or even attempted manslaughter." Danny couldn't help his eyes from turning green with vehemence at the thought of the man who had nearly killed the woman and boy whom he'd had to nurse back to mental stability earlier that day.
"As it is, two very lucky survivors made it home tonight, thanks to our very own town hero: Danny Phantom. When we return: A new study shows that Gummy Bears may be the secret to flawless complexion, but not in the way you'd expect! I'm Theresa Williams, and this is the Eleven'O'Clock News."
"Honestly, the things they pass as Science News these days is beyond me," Maddie quipped. Crossing the room, and turning the Television off with a decisive stroke of the hand.
"Says the Spectral Biology expert," Danny retorted.
"Well the difference is, I'm right." his mother quickly teased back. "Danny," her change in tone made the boy glance up from his barely-started Chemistry homework. "I'm so proud of you," she finished.
The ghost boy's ears turned red, "Thanks, Mom," he grumbled awkwardly.
She ruffled his hair, and he fixed his eyes back on his work. However, she was far from done with him.
"Now, come help us program this new device to ignore your ecto-signature, and then I'll help you get through Chemistry."
