Controversy

Chapter Four

Danny was all too busy staring with a gaping mouth. He shut it after a moment of self-conscious, and side-glance to inquire Sam and mouthing, is he for real?

Sam shrugged and spread her arms wide. I guess so.

Danny sighed. "Well, dude, I guess I'll let you off the hook. As long as you don't suck off the kids' fun like Spectra or somehow try to conquer the Earth or throw another snowball to my face or something, you have my permission to stay in Amity Park for now.

Jack raised an eyebrow. Why on Earth would he, The Winter Spirit, need permission to stay in the town from some random kid? Nevertheless, Jack just nodded, and prepared to fly off to some other parts of the small and relatively peaceful town to spread some fun. Unfortunately, a rather rude voice rumbled from the Nasty Burger entrance and alerted Jack before he could fly off.

"Fentonia!" Danny groaned and tensed visibly as the big football jock stood by with his friends, all dressed up in their winter get-up.

"Your luck sucks, dude. And I'm the one called 'Bad-Luck Tuck'." Tucker whispered to the rest of the trio and Jack as he pocketed his PDA back in his pocket, so that his baby wouldn't accidentally get hurt.

"Tell me about it." Danny muttered back, subconsciously pushing Sam back behind him. "It's okay. Let me handle this real quick."

"How nice to meet you and your friends here!" Dash said, trudging through the snow, unhindered by the thick snowfall and the hard wind. A snowball flew by Danny's head towards Dash, but he merely dodged a little sideways, glared at the kids who retreated back to the other side of the park, and picked Danny up by the thin material of his shirt.

"Nice to meet you too, Dash." Danny said sarcastically. Dash merely expressed his unappreciative of Danny's sarcasm with a growl. He dropped Danny back down in the snow and pushed him back with a snarl.

"Let's see who do we have here!" Dash looked around Danny and did a quick survey. "The Loser Fentoenail, The Goth Freak, and The Techno-Geek. Should have expected! Don't you guys have anyone else to hang out with? Or are you guys just that repellent to everyone?" Dash finished his jab and looked at his goons. Catching his drift, Kwan, and the other football jocks laughed together at the trio's expenses.

Sam and Tucker were livid-Danny never does something to stop the bullying! He just took it all in-yeah, they were kind of used to it already, but that doesn't mean they enjoy it. They knew that Danny could always have done something to stop it, but he never. He always just shrug it off and tell them "it's no big deal."

Danny, seeing his friends' tight lips and shaking fists, shook his head almost unnoticeably to tell them that "it's alright." He can handle it, after all, he's Danny Phan-

"Hey dude, not cool. Who are you and why are you bullying the kid?" A voice rang out from behind Danny as a blue blur rushed by beside him-only to go through Dash. A wave of surprise and pain went through Jack, but the trio paid him no attention as they gawked at the jock he just passed through.

All Dash did was to shiver and brushed off the continuously falling snow on his clothes. "Freaky weather." He muttered, and proceeded to chuck Danny into the snow. "You misfits get off easy this time, have fun getting a cold." He sneered, and left to the Nasty Burger's parking lot.

Danny dug himself out of the snow as soon as possible, and blew a few wet strands of his hair out of the way. He glared at Dash as some pure hatred boiled inside of him. Paying no mind to his friends and the Spirit who was still trying to make sure that he was still solid, Danny let his core grew even colder and the blue energy to wisp from his hands.

Eyes glowing blue, he glared at the concrete just in front of Dash's feet and shoot an ice ray out of his finger. Black ice, people would call them. Of course, the jock wouldn't know what hit him as he stepped on the thin layer of transparency. Danny fought to bite down the smirk growing on the corners of his lips.

Standing up, the jock cursed loudly and glared at every passerby, as if it were their fault. Sam snorted, "Serves him right. You go, Danny."

"That's wicked, dude. Remind me not to get on your bad side. Dash's going to have fun tending to those bruises."

"I didn't make that ice right there... It just appeared, as if someone's interfering with my magic..." Jack looked back at the trio, then froze suddenly as he pieced the puzzle together. It wasn't that hard to spot the similarities, not really. After all, Jack has just witnessed his own memories lest than a year ago...

The same person, the same features, just a little bit of different coloring... His brown hair and brown eyes translated to white hair and blue eyes... So why can't the boy's features do a little bit of coloring swap? Black hair, green eyes, replaced by the wayward sprite's he saw the other day.

"No way..." Jack raised an eyebrow, glanced at the black ice, and sucked in a gulp of air. "You're.. You're Danny Phantom?"

Um. I have no idea where to bring the story next, so any suggestions will be nice. (You'll get a drabble-of-your-choice as a reward!)
