Story-time
Hero by Chad Kroeger featuring Josey Scott
The woman tucked her daughter in, making sure the covers were tucked just right before affectionately raking the girl's soft blonde curls to the side of her face.
"Mommy?" the girl said, peering up at the woman. She sat down next to the bed, already knowing what her daughter was going to ask. "Can you tell me a story about him?"
The woman smiled; it was their nightly routine. It seemed all the history lessons at school didn't cover enough on the brave hero, instead many parents, such as herself, had to rely on the stories passed down from their parents and their parents' parents to satisfy the children's thirst for the tales of the Great Savior of the World. But, the woman didn't mind; she turned into a child herself when the story began.
"What would you like this time?" she asked, but she already had a sneaking suspicion of what the answer would be.
The child smiled at her, a new light in her eyes coming forth in anticipation of the story to come. "The first time he saved the world; tell me that one."
The mother smiled, her assumption correct. For some reason, her daughter always loved the earlier stories of him, probably because he was just a teenage boy when the world first found out about him. Maybe, the fact that he was so young, yet he accomplished so much, gave her own daughter a chance to see that even the young could make a difference.
"Okay," she said, already smiling as she remembered her own mother telling her the very same words she was about to say. "I will tell you what my parents told me when I was your age. It all began with a boy, but there was something different about this boy. He was extraordinary in more ways than one, and he was half ghost. That boy's name was Danny Phantom, the world's greatest hero for all time. And, this is the story of how he saved the world..."
I just had to do this. I always love reading stuff like this about how Danny indirectly affects people. I might be doing another snippet that is similar to this but still different. The song is one of my all time favorites, seriously, I was obsessed with it for months. I love good hero songs :)
