I've been getting some very positive reviews and am really proud of myself. I had a great Christmas (BTW) and got pretty good gifts.
This chapter is where everything begins. VOILA! Chapter 4!
Sorry I haven't included Tucker very much in this story. I just like working from Sam and Danny's POV'S more.
Disclaimer: I didn't own Danny Phantom in Chapter 1, 2 or 3, do you seriously think I would own him now? (Just to answer your question, NO!) (Waaaaaa)
(Last Chapter:"It's just an empty portal. What's the worst that could happen?" Danny reassured me.
Me and Tucker watched as Danny put one hand on the frame and hopped up. We stared as he walked into the defunct portal.)
Chapter 4
Danny's POV
I seriously regretted walking in here. But Sam just will not give up, especially when she really wants something.
So I was walking through the portal, really dark and really messy. I tripped on some wires on the way in but didn't fall. I turned around and saw Sam and Tucker watching me from outside the portal. The portal was long, like, 10 meters long. I noticed something at the back(*) but didn't run to check it out, just in case I wiped out. I looked around and really saw the thing up close. Then I glanced down, I was glowing! The portal was like those glow-in-the-dark mini-golf courses. Cool!
This thing was amazing! I really underestimated my parents, they did know what they were doing. Well, to an extent. I ran my hand across the wall, feeling for all those bumps and kinks. Then I tripped again! I was so clumsy sometimes, it was amazing I didn't get bruises from just walking to school!
"You okay in there dude?" called Tucker from his spot outside the portal.
"Yeah I'm fine, don't worry." I answered.
Man, what did they think was gonna happen to me in here? It was a broken portal!
"Danny? Watch out for those wires coming up in front of you, they're pretty tricky!" warned Sam.
I turned forward just to spot some wires right in front of me. I stopped and faced my friends again.
"Guys? I think it's good. I walked inside and you saw, okay? Can I come out now?" I asked, but I already knew the answer before it became a sentence.
"No! You have to go all the way to the back! C'mon, please?" cried Sam, pleading me to finish the task.
"Fine! But after I come out, I'm not going back in!" I resolved.
Sam always wanted people to see things through to the end. So I sighed and took a step forward to finish the journey, except that I tripped AGAIN on the wires on the floor. Even though Sam warned me about them in advance! But I didn't worry about that now, I was falling! I put my hand against the wall to steady myself and heard a small BEEP. I looked at where my hand was and saw an ON button.
Some bright light came from the very back of the portal and I was blinded. Then something hit me hard in the stomach but it didn't feel like a solid thing. More like really hard water, liquid. But then there was nothing but bright white blindness and excruciating pain, all over me. Somewhere, faintly, I heard a loud scream but soon realized it was ME screaming. God, I sound like a girl, I thought. After that, I wasn't capable of thought.
It was too painful for me to bear, I wanted it to end. I felt like my bones were vibrating, my molecules completely rearranging. I felt my legs moving, but they were numb. I vaguely saw the entrance to the portal becoming closer and closer until I saw the floor and heard two voices, one female and one male, screaming my name over and over. I saw a face looking at me, female, with short black hair and purple lipstick. Other than that, I saw black and white.
I felt myself being dragged across a smooth surface. Then I felt nothing at all. No more colors surrounded me, my eyes were closing and the white was being replaced by blackness. I couldn't hear, see, or think. And then I couldn't do anything. I fell unconscious and I felt like I was floating. If this was what dying felt like, I was okay with it.
Sam's POV
This was all my fault! If I had let Danny come out, he wouldn't be like this! I was crying, staring down at him. He actually looked peaceful. After I got over the shock that my best friend had been electrocuted, I noticed Danny didn't look like... well... Danny. He had snow-white hair and the blacks and whites on the jumpsuit he was wearing were switched. God, I was so stupid! I was wondering about the colors of a jumpsuit while my friend was unconscious and steaming!
"Oh God! Danny! Please don't die, please don't die!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face.
"Dude! Wake up! Danny!" Tucker cried.
But Danny still didn't wake up. His messy black-hair-turned-white fell across his face and I brushed it away softly. Only then did I notice something. Danny was glowing. Then something weird happened, his body flickered. Like I could still feel it but it was like he went invisible for a second.
"Hey, did you see that? He just went like, invisible for a second. And why is Danny glowing?" I asked.
"I don't know, but we gotta move him before his parents come down and see their only son unconscious and the ghost portal on!" Tucker said.
It was true. The ghost portal was glowing green and swirling. When did that happen? We didn't have time for that though. We had to move Danny now! Me and Tucker both grabbed an arm and dragged Danny behind some empty boxes marked "GHOST WEAPONS." We piled them on top of each other to form a type of wall just as we heard Danny's dad come downstairs.
"Danny? Are you there son? Well I guess they left while I was getting some fudge Oh my- MADDIE! Come down here!" I heard Danny's dad scream.
"What is it honey?" I heard some thumping, Danny's mom most probably. "Oh honey! It works! MMMWHA!" cried Maddie Fenton.
Eeww, they kissed and it even SOUNDED gross.
"Come on Jack, let's go celebrate!" I heard Danny's parents walk upstairs, shouting about them being geniuses.
-line break-
Danny breathed in deep, he was waking up! I silently did a YES fist pump and kneeled closer, watching for any sign that he was conscious.
"Tucker! he's waking up! He's gonna be okay!" I whispered excitedly.
Tucker let out a breath of relief, his face changing to calmness. I felt my muscles relax, I realized that I had been tensing up. Me and Tucker watched as Danny began to wake up.
Danny's POV
Everything hurt. My legs, arms, body and face. Even my fingers and toes. My eyes opened wide and I sat up, Oh man, bad idea. I wimpered and lay back down. I saw Sam and Tucker looking at me strange, like I was a freak.
"Ohhh, guys, what happened?" I asked groggily.
"Danny! I don't know, you tell me! All I saw was you trip and then there was a big flash of light, you came stumbling out and fell, out-cold." answered Sam, squeezing me so hard I could barely breathe. Then I saw my arm, the glove was white, and glowing. I pushed away Sam and stood up.
"Guys, why am I glowing?" I asked.
"Well dude, we don't really know." Tucker answered, looking uncertain.
"Danny? I just thought you would like to know, uh... your eyes... they're... uh... green." Sam told me, pointing at my eyes.
What?! My eyes were green? But my eyes are blue! I ran upstairs and dashed upstairs, feeling weightless. I ran into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. My eyes weren't the only thing that had had a color change, I had snow-white hair and my eyes were glowing green! I ran to my bedroom and saw that my friends were already there, waiting for me.
"Dude? Um... you're floating." Tucker said, pointing at my feet.
"What? Tucker, what are you talking about?" I asked.
I looked down at my legs, except for one thing,
I had no legs.
-line break-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed.
Down where my feet were supposed to be was a tail. A TAIL! Also, I was floating a few feet off the ground!
"GUYS-WHY-AM-I-FLOATING!" I continued hysterically.
I looked in the full-length mirror in my room and saw a different me. I had on a black and white jumpsuit: white gloves and boots, black bottoms and torso connected by a white belt, and a turtleneck collar, white also. I had snow-white hair and glowing green eyes(**). Oh, and I had a whitish glow surrounding me. I looked like a, well... GHOST.
"Dude, you look like a ghost!" Tucker said, looking me over.
"WHY ARE YOU ACTING SO CALM ABOUT THIS!" I screamed.
I started breathing in deep, faster and faster. I was hyperventilating! I grabbed a bag from my garbage bin and tried calming down, but I kept on looking down and seeing myself, glowing. That just made things then, Sam and Tucker squealed. I looked down at my body and saw that... well... I COULDN'T see my body. I was invisible.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH HHHHHHHHH!" I screamed again.
I became visible and then I saw a small blue wisp of my breath escape from my mouth and shivered. Then from the basement I heard:
"GHOST!" my dad yelled.
I felt myself sinking and saw my friends getting taller. I looked down again; I should really stop that, and saw I was sinking through the floor! Sam and Tucker both tried to grab me and hoist me up but their hands slipped through my body. I fell straight down to the basement until I unintentionally went invisible again and saw a green blob of goo floating around the lab.
Then my hand lit up green and I shot a bright green ray right at the ghost(***) (how did that happen?), sending it straight back into the ghost portal, which had mysteriously turned on.
-flashback-
I moved my hand and saw an ON button just beneath it. The button was glowing, I had accidentally pressed it.
-flashback over-
That was it! I had accidentally pressed the ON button when I tripped on the wires in the portal! Wait, an ON button? Who would put an ON button on the inside of a portal and forget it was there?
I floated back up to my room and saw myself again in the mirror. I wondered if me looking like this was permanent, then thought about how desperatly I wanted to be myself again, good old Danny Fenton. Then I felt a cold sensation right in the center of my body. A bright blue ring of light surrounded me, then seperated into two rings, one travelling up my body, and the other travelling down.
When the two rings dissapeared, I saw myself again. I had my black hair and blue eyes and my clothes were normal again, and I wasn't glowing anymore. I turned to Sam and Tucker to see my two friends staring at me with mouths wide open.
"Guys? Can someone tell me WHAT IS GOING ON!" I demanded, I felt like I wanted to punch something, I needed answers! I needed-
The two rings appeared again and when I looked into the mirror, the jumpsuit was back and I was glowing again. My hair was white and my eyes were green. I turned back to my friends and saw them rising up. I looked down, half of my body was through the floor!
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed.
This time, when Sam and Tucker grabbed my arms to pull me back up, it worked. I became solid and sat on my bed, only then did I notice that my friends hadn't said a word.
"Guys? Why am I going through floors!?" I asked.
"Dude, WE DON'T KNOW!" Tucker answered. "You're like a phantom!"
"Yeah, but- wait. I can walk through walls, dissappear, fly, and shoot green rays from my hands!" I explained what happened in the basement.
"Dude, have you seen how many ghosts come here every day? You could fight them! Be like a ghostly superhero or something!" Tucker exclaimed.(****)
"Tucker, I'm not so sure-"
"And you'll need a cool catchphrase and a nickname and-"
"TUCKER!" Me and Sam shouted.
There goes Tucker, always getting ahead of himself.
"I don't even know how this happened!" I cried.
"Dude, It's simple. You pressed an ON button right? Well, when you did that, I guess you got hit with some ghost ray and since you can change between looks, you became half-ghost." Tucker explained, as if this was an ordinary, everyday occurance.
"Okay. But I don't even know HOW to use these powers! Let alone use them to fight ghosts!" I said.
And as if to prove my point, I went invisible again. When I became visible again, I glared at my friends.
"Danny? We'll help you get a hlod of your powers, don't worry!" Sam reassured me.
I tried to calm down, and when I did, the rings came and turned me back into Danny Fenton.
"That's good, at least I don't stay in...Ghost form." I tried to find good things about this.
"Dude, don't worry, but if you go flying around, what are people gonna call you? I 've been thinking about this, okay ready?" Tucker said
Me and Sam both glanced at each other, Tucker spent WAY too much time on his PDA. But then he said the one thing that was actually cool.
"Danny Phantom."
Okay, who thought that Tucker would come up with Danny becoming a superhero? And with Danny being called Danny Phantom? (I did!)
Oh, and just by the way:
(*): The thing at the back is the ON/OFF panel
(**): Sorry, I just couldn't help myself! Theme Song description!
(***): Isn't it convienient, the timing in cartoons? And aiming? HEHEHE!
(****): I wanted Tucker to have a bigger part in this story than just talking sometimes. So I made HIM the one that comes up with Danny using his powers as a superhero.
Thanks for all the positive reviews! And hope you had a great Christmas!
Sam+Danny+Me: REVIEW!
Tucker: And for all you lady reviewers. I'm Tucker, Tucker Foley. T.F. as in TOO FINE. (Tucker does his signature finger guns. Me, Sam and Danny whack him on the head.)
Sam+Danny+Me: SHUT UP!
Look out for the next Chapter! Bye!
