A/N: I've read the reviews. So good news and bad news, good news is that Valerie is going to make an appearance in this chapter. Bad news is that Dani might not come in at all. I haven't decided yet. She is still traveling the world. It's not common knowledge that your original losses the closest people to him. If I get enough reviews saying the Dani should appear, then I will make it happen. Just to be clear, Sam and Tucker's parents were not possessed. The Mansons probably wanted to move out when the first ghost attack happened. I don't know why they didn't. Plus, they hated Danny. That's why she can't talk to him anymore. The news said that most adults don't like Phantom and are scared that he will destroy the town when he wants to. That's why the Foleys moved. Tucker's parents were scared that Phantom will eventually destroy the town. I hope that cleared up so misunderstandings.
When Star left, so did Danny. He didn't know that much about Star before, but he was learning. Although when he fell asleep, he didn't know. That must have happened while he was looking at the stars. He chuckled to himself. That was why Star was named.
The hybrid saw the large UFO that was his house and sighed. His parents were spending more time in the basement than anything else. He even saw a police radio in there. His guess was to hear about when Invis-O-Bill 'attacks'. He was still strung up about it. His parents belief was that all ghost were evil. Even if their obsession was to protect. That's what Danny liked about his obsession. It was very vague. That meant he could twist it around to protect one thing or a million people. He could stop being Danny Phantom if he wanted to protect himself. The heroing was starting to become more bothersome anyway. That's why he did it more at nights. He was used to going alone at nights, the cover it gave him made the job easier to handle, but only by a little bit, and not many ghosts come out at night. He considered just stopping completely and focus on something else.
He opened the door to his house, and went to make his own dinner. His parents were in the basement and his mother couldn't cook to save her life. Whatever she cooks will try to kill the small family. So he made his own dinner and went upstairs to eat and sleep. He got his homework done just before Skulker showed up. He was pretty sure he saw Paulina and Star looking at him. He shook the thought out of his head and continued eating until it was gone. He went back to the kitchen and put the dish in the sink and left for bed. School was tomorrow so he hoped that nothing would try to kill him.
Star woke up to her sister screaming. Quickly, she got up and went to her sister's room.
"What's wrong?!" star saw a blaring alarm clock, a bed with no blankets, and a seven-year-old girl with blond hair, green eyes, and a tired expression, on the floor with blankets at her feet.
"For the love of... come on. Get up." She helped the girl up and put the blankets on the bed.
"Where were you last night?" Star's little sister asked.
"Places Mary." Star was still a little unsure about last night.
"Which places?" Mary asked.
"None of your business. Go get dressed. I'll drop you off at school." Mary went to her closet while Star went to her room. She hated waking up like that, but it was funny, only sometimes though. She quickly got her morning routine done and was eating in the kitchen in five minutes. Her sister came down and started eating too.
"Morning Star." Her dad said.
"Morning." Star said as she finished her breakfast. She put her bowl in the sink and washed it.
"Where were you last night?"
"I asked her that this morning, but she only said 'places'. What does that mean daddy?" Mary said as she put up her breakfast, or what was left of it.
"I'll tell you later." he said,"Are you going to keep me waiting, or am I going to have to bug you when I come home?"
"I was hanging out with one of my..." Star paused. She didn't know what to count Danny as "Classmates! Yeah, he was one of my classmates."
"He? Wait, was it Kwan? You two still go out, don't ya?"
Star rolled her aquamarine eyes,"No. I broke up with him two weeks ago. He was more of Dash's wingman than a boyfriend." A timer went off on Mary's arm.
Suddenly she got up, got her backpack and was practically dragging Star to her car,"Come on, come on, come on. I don't want to be late! Move faster!"
"Let me grab my stuff too." Star grabbed her backpack and a few books and ran outside. She quickly got into her car and started it. Smirking, she pulled out of the driveway, very slowly.
"Come on, I know this car can go faster." Mary shouted.
"It's going as fast as it can. I don't know what's wrong with it." Star said, still smiling.
"Come on. Are you trying to make me late?"
"Alright, alright. We're going." The car pulled out faster and sped down the street.
After Star parked her car at the school, she quickly got up the stairs. She was about to reach the top, but she bumped into someone instead.
"Sorry." She looked up to raven hair and pale skin. She felt happy for some reason.
"Hey." Danny gave her a nod in response and left into the school building. Star followed, not wanting to miss first period.
When Danny got to his locker, he heard a seductive voice,"Hi Danny." Danny just wanted to groan and run away, but he wasn't raised like that, sadly. He turned and saw Paulina staring at him. Something was off. Danny didn't reply.
"Are you still not talking?" Paulina pouted, which Danny ignored. The hybrid just stayed silent, silently praying that Paulina would go away.
"Come on Danny. You can't stay silent forever." The she-devil leaned against his locker. Danny just tried to leave but Paulina stopped him.
"I heard that you have something you shouldn't. Something happened between you and Dash yesterday. Would you mind telling me?" Paulina said. Most boys would have told her everything about the fight, but Danny wasn't most boys. He stayed silent and tried to walk around Paulina again. Paulina stopped him by putting a hand on his chest. She internally gasped. Star was right. Fenton did have muscles.
Smirking, she said in a very seductive tone,"Danny I didn't know you had muscles. Why don't you show everyone?" She reached for the edge of his shirt and tried to pull. The only thing stopping her was Danny's firm hand holding her wrist. Star may have found out that Danny had muscles, but she didn't know why he wore baggy clothes. The clothes were to hide the muscles and scars that ghost hunting had given him. Danny was sure that there was no inch of skin on his chest that was left unscathed. Danny let go of her hand and ran. Paulina was trying to get his shirt off and that couldn't happen.
As he was running, with his clumsiness, he bumped into another person, Valerie. When his friends moved away, Valerie had stopped talking to him. Both in human form and in ghost form. He didn't know why Valerie stopped talking to him, but it just made him confused. Shaking his head to clear the fog, he helped Valerie up, and went to science.
Valerie was running late for English. As she was running through the halls, she bumped into someone. When she looked up, she saw Danny Fenton on the ground. She was shocked, but it was quickly replaced by guilt. She was still guilty about torturing him, and trying to kill him. It wasn't hard to see Danny Fenton as Danny Phantom. After she saw Vlad transform, she kept an eye out for Danny. But when he and Phantom stopped talking at the same time, she found out and was hit by alot of guilt. She dated him, broke his heart, tried to end him and tortured him. There was no way anyone could forgive that! So, to avoid any awkwardness of being around him, she chose to avoid him. She knew that she was going to have to confront him someday, but she could put it off for as long as possible.
She quickly took his outstretched hand and got up. He ran right past her afterward. Maybe one day Danny could forgive her, but not today. She quickly turned and ran to her English class. She still had a class to go to after all.
