I apologize for this chapter being almost-all dialogue, but it was needed for this part of the story. And as for the schedule that the school holds during this story, I'm modelling it after how my old high school ran their class periods, 7 classes with lunch between 4th and 5th period. This new class is during 6th period.

Oh, and kinitsukirihan? I have a few ideas kicking around that go against typical Danny Phantom headcannon, even if I had adopted a few of them myself because it made sense to me. And while there is a plot-based reason for why Danny and Tucker didn't get the WTF-moment with Celevoir, I will admit that I didn't think of an in-story reason as to why, ehehe. Bad, bad me...

And for anyone reading this and wondering how I'm posting these up so fast, when I was uploading Chapter 1, I was already in the middle of typing out Chapter 6. And I'm nowhere near done.

Now, shall we begin again?

False Positive

Chapter 4: Freeze-out During Rollcall

"Dashiel Baxter."

"It's Dash, ma'am."

"In this class, I refer to everyone by their proper names, so you might as well get used to it. Nathan Bradly."

"Pre...present, ma'am."

Mya was standing in front of the classroom calling out a few more names from the roll behind her desk, which seemed to double as a fixed lab table as well, complete with everything that the lab stations in the back of the large room also had, such as the gas faucets for Bunsen burners and other equipment that needed such tools. The Celevoir was curled up to her right by the desk, holding up a rather-comical "Do Not Disturb" sign as she lightly snoozed in boredom.

"Daniel Fenton."

"H-h-here, m-m-ma'am..."

"Daniel, are you shivering?" At this point did she look up the classroom, her ears leading her to the frail-looking boy in the front of the room closest to the door. He was rubbing his arms in a frantic attempt to keep warm and it seemed like his skin was starting to turn a faint shade of blue.

She saw the blue mist emerging from his mouth and recognized it for what it was, thanks to the heads-up she had gotten earlier from a certain ghost.

"Celevoir, aerial route, get the negation bracelet! I need it yesterday!" The bird went from lightly-snoozing to fully-awake and floating in place, giving a salute with one of her foreleaves before flying up through the roof and phasing through it. The sign that it had once surrounded seemed to have mysteriously vanished from view. Mya herself rushed toward a closet in the front of the room to the right-hand side, away from the door that led to the classroom and near where the bird had once been.

The class stared at how fast she moved once she got what she was looking for, a white turtleneck with what looked like metallic wiring that was sewn throughout it. Even with the metal, it still looked rather-comfortable to wear. She was immediately over to where Danny was, who was turn a shade of red over his cheeks despite his skin trying to turn a different color.

"I...I'm fine...re-really..." He tried to keep her from placing the shirt over his head, but the cold that had already built up had managed to bite back with a vengeance once the source had been introduced and he finally collapsed from the cold that was trying to freeze him out from the inside.

"No, you're not." Once she slid the turtleneck over Danny's head and chest, sliding his arms through the sleeves, the boy seemed to warm up under her touch. While he still felt a bit colder than a normal person would by the time Celevoir flew back into the classroom through the ceiling, she also figured it wouldn't get any higher any time soon.

The bird held the thin bracelet in her beak, which was a turquoise color similar to Celevoir's shade, before phasing it around Danny's wrist. Danny found himself able to open his eyes almost immediately, no longer feeling the influx of cold energy.

"Wha..."

"Might be a good thing Phantom dropped by earlier, or I wouldn't have recognized that soon enough." She helped him up onto his feet before he slid back behind his desk and into his chair. "You won't be needing that shirt anymore now." Realizing he was wearing the turtleneck that she forced over his head, Danny immediately took it off before tossing it back toward the teacher.

"Sorry about that..."

"You can't blame yourself for something you don't really have control over, especially not something like that." Placing the turtleneck on the edge of the large desk for now, Mya had picked up the roll-sheet and started calling out names once more.

"Tucker Foley."

"Here, miss." Mya looked up from her sheet once more with a raised eyebrow.

"...miss?"

A gulp became soon heard from the chocolate-skinned student in sheepish embarrassment. "Sorry."

"I will introduce myself after I get roll done. Valerie Gray."

"Here, ma'am."

There were a few more names that she got responses for, but there was one name didn't get a response from its appropriate student for.

"Samantha Manson."

"Um, ma'am?" Mya raised her head to see that Tucker had responded to her call instead of a female voice.

"Yes?"

"Sam's sick, she might not be in for a few more days." The teacher nodded in acknowledgement before making a note on a nearby clipboard.

"I appreciate the heads up, Mr. Foley. I'll keep that in mind for the next few calls. Paulina Sanchez."

"Here, ma'am!" Mya rose her head from the roll-call sheet once again after hearing the voice, eyes visibly narrowing behind her glasses once she saw it was the one student that went up to pet Celevoir before lowering her gaze back to the sheet in her hands.

"Kwan Sie."

"Here, ma'am."

"And...that seems to be everyone. All but one accounted for." At this point did she stand in front of the teacher's desk, arms crossed behind her back as she stood straight with her head high. "Now, it's time to get started."

Anyone recognize the naming conventions I was using for the characters that don't normally have a last name? :3
