Phantom Life Chapter 3: School Rumble
Danny, Sam and Tucker were perplexed: every single student was supporting Danny Phantom in a way. Suddenly, the three of them get pushed behind a wall.
"What the hell man?! Are you cra…" screamed Danny. But before he could finish his sentence, he looked up and saw…
"Dash! What's going on? Why the hell did you push us?" said Sam in confusion.
"Keep it quiet will you?! We don't want them to hear you. The whole school has become totally crazy of Danny Phantom. It seemed better to keep you out of sight a bit, Fentonio."
"Woah Dash helping us?! I never thought that would happen."
"Don't go thinking we're friends now, Foley! I'm only doing this to keep the drama away. And even though Fenton seems to be the ghost boy, that doesn't mean he has to think he belongs to the popular guys now! So don't go act all high in your head or you will meet my fist."
"H-hey calm dude, I don't want to belong to you guys… Anyways, thanks for saving us."
"Here, wear this." said Dash while grabbing 3 wigs and some shirts from his bag.
"Clever move. We might need this, looking at the situation..." said Sam
All three of them put on the wigs and shirts. They hoped with Danny wearing a short brown wig and an Ember T-shirt, nobody would really notice him. As for Sam…
"If it wasn't for Danny, I would've burned this blonde wig the second I touched it…"
"Come on Sam, I know it's not your color but at least you're still fitting well as Danny's girlfriend." said Tucker with wiggling eyebrows
The two of them laughed awkwardly.
"A-alright! Let's head up to school guys." said Danny
All students were impatiently waiting for Danny to show up on the school grounds. When the three of them came nearby, the students all quickly glanced but turned their heads in disappointment, not recognizing Danny. Danny, Sam and Tucker enter Casper High without a problem.
"Phew, nobody recognized us." sighed Tucker
"I kind of imagined this day differently, but it works I guess… It's just a hassle that I have to disguise myself in public now. My life will never be the same again…"
He showed a concerned look on his face and balled up his fists.
"Hey, heads up Danny. This is only temporarily, I'm sure the hype around Danny Phantom will go down after a while." said Sam in a comforting way
"Yeah it's like when a new game is released; everyone wants to buy it, but after a while it gets forgotten about."
Danny smirked.
"Nice comparison Tucker. But you guys are right, this is just for a while.. After that, everything will be as normal again."
"Fenton…"
Danny felt a big hand on his shoulder. He broke out in cold sweat, fearing that he was recognized by a student. He turned his head…
"O-oh! Mr. Lancer."
"Dash told me you three are going to school disguised for the moment."
"Ah yes it seemed the best idea for now…"
"Hm. I just wanted to speak you about, well.. Your ghost powers. I quite often questioned your sudden disappearances from class or detention, you know. Anyways, if there's anything you need to do, you're free to leave class or detention any time. But if you misuse this admission, I will find out, Fenton."
"Don't worry Mr. Lancer, we never left class for anything that didn't have to do with his ghost powers!" said Tucker proudly
"Ah yes Mr. Foley and Ms. Manson. You do know I can't allow you to leave class all the time, right?"
Sam protested.
"But we're his companions, we.."
"Sorry but there is no way I can. After all it seems Danny is strong enough to handle things alone right? I'm sure he can ask a few ghosts to help him."
"But.."
"That was it. Now please enter the classroom as we're almost starting."
The three of them took place on their seats.
"I can't believe Lancer is not allowing us to help you anymore, Danny…" said Sam in disappointment
"Ah don't worry.. Besides, he has a point. I could just ask help from other ghosts now."
"It just doesn't seem right Danny. Are you going to replace us?" said Tucker
"No what?! I'm never going to replace you! I mean.. If I need help during school hours, I'll just ask Dani or another ghost who's free…"
Tucker and Sam looked at each other, with a concerned look on their face. Danny felt horrible, did he not make the right choice of words? Having so many thoughts at once, it didn't seem to bother him that much anymore. Classes passed by so fast for him. And before he knew, it was already lunch time.
Danny, Sam and Tucker carefully went to the cafeteria, trying to not catch too much attention. It was very crowdie in the halls as they were getting bumps from everywhere. Suddenly, Danny felt a bump on his head.
"Oops sorry! Oh you dropped something…"
As Danny turned around, he saw the girl picking up his wig. He put his hands on his head, nervously trying to feel if the wig was still on it…
"Here's your wi… DANNY PHANTOM?!"
In a split second, the whole school had their eyes turned on him. The girl still stood in front of him, with the wig in her hands. For Danny, time stopped for a while.
