I still don't own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman and Nickelodeon own
the show. BR Chapter 4:
Freedom BR When school let out for
the day, Star grabbed any books she needed for homework, and ran out
of the large doors of Casper High. Star ran down the block she lived
on, glad that she was finally free from the stares that she had been
receiving. She smiled as she opened the
front door to her house, shouting,"Hey Mom, I'm home!"
before running upstairs to her room and closing the door.
She could hear the faint shout of "Hi sweetie, how was
school?" coming from downstairs. Star
opened her door just long enough to yell "Interesting!"
back to her mother, and closing it. That would usually be all they
would say to each other until dinner, or the next morning. Today, she
planned on having a real conversation with her mom
as soon as she finished the little homework that she had, and sorting
through the clothes in her closet. The
blonde quickly sat down at her desk and finished her homework, which
took only an amazing and exciting hour. Star
yawned. Thank God she was finished. She then
rushed over to her closet and yanked the door open, revealing a huge
mound of expensive and preppy clothing. About 40 percent of the clothing was
pink, which she took out and shoved into the large, black, plastic
trash bag that she had ran downstairs into the kitchen to get.
Another 30 percent of the clothing, which was
either frilly or girly was shoved into the black trash bag.
Everything that she didn't like (only worn to impress Paulina) was
now in the black bag that was clutched tightly in her 'perfectly
manicured' hands. Her closet almost actually looked empty now.
Almost. She was getting rid of about 70 percent of her
clothing, after all. Her grin grew when
she realized that she could finally be herself, and not someone who
pretended to like the things Paulina liked so she could feel like she
fit in. She was now...unique. The person she had desperately wanted
to be the night before, as she sat on her roof gazing at the
stars. Star stood there for a few moments,
before remembering that she wanted to speak to her mother for once in
her life. She tied up the bag, and carried it downstairs in the
living room, where her mom was playing with Star's five-year-old
little brother, David, who seemed to be completely engrossed in the
fact that the big red fire truck in his right hand was going to
collide with the blue and green race car in his left hand dead-on at
300 MPH, causing a huge explosion. (Sound effects of course done by
David.) She giggled. She loved her
brother, but he was just plain weird. She ruffled
his spiky strawberry-blonde hair playfully and threw the black bag
filled with her clothing on the couch. "Charity,"
she told her mom, pointing to the bag. "And I wanted to know
if I could go out tonight with my friends." Her
mother smiled. "Of course you can go out with your friends!
Why'd did you ask? You never asked before! But I need to ask you a
favor. Can you take your little brother? Your father and I want to go
out to dinner tonight, and we don't really want to go to McDonalds if
you know what I mean. Your brother can't eat and sit still, which as
I'm sure you remember is why we don't bring him to restaurantsunless
we want to be embarrassed by the large quantities of food on the
floor." Star laughed. Her brother
was really uncontrollable, but she was one of the
only people who could get him to behave properly, which was why she
always the one stuck with him when her parents went out. "All
right, he can tag along. But if he can't behave I'm holding
you responsible!" She said half joking.
Star sat next to her mother and grinned. She couldn't remember the
last time she had actually talked to her mother this way, or even
went near her family. Star had thought before that because none of
her friends hung out with their parents, why should she? She
now knew that she was wrong. Her family was alot of fun, and they
were always happy. Why not hang out with them? Her mothers voice
interrupted her train of thought. "So...honey...tell Paulina
I said hi tonight, ok?" Star frowned. "I'm not
seeing Paulina tonight. Maybe never again. I think I finally realized
that Paulina is a shallow, self-absorbed snob who enjoys others
pain.And I pretty much told her that today, after she made fun of one
of my friends, Valerie." Her mom
looked at her, scratching her blonde hair-covered head. "You
had a fight? I can understand that. I noticed that Paulina doesn't
really treat you very well...and she wasn't the most respectful
person to us either. I'm glad that you finally stuck up for yourself and a friend.
I'm proud of you." Star's face lit up again and she replied,
"Thanks mom." There goes her mom again. Always
making everyone feel better when they are down, and being the perfect
role-model. Funny how she used to be the exact opposite until
today. "Who are you going out
with tonight, then?" Her mom, yet again interrupted her
train of thought. "The girl I stuck up for, Valerie, and her
friends. Danny, Tucker, and Sam." Star looked at her little
brother. He was still crashing cars together with loud sound effects.
Something told her that Dave would love hanging
out with Danny. She stood up, and looked
at her mother again. "Well, I better go get ready. I'm
meeting them at 6:00 and it's already 5:30." She ran up to
her room, changed into a short-sleaved purple shirt with black stars
that she had gotten for her birthday the year before, and a pair of
blue jeans that were torn up at the knees. She smirked as she looked
in the mirror. 'Just my style.' She then took out
the red flower clip in her hair and replaced it with a purple star.
Feeling satisfied, she applied purple lip
gloss. It surprisingly still went good with her blonde hair. Just as
she put away the lip gloss and threw the clothes she was wearing
before in her hamper, the phone rang on the table next to her bed.
Star looked at the caller ID, picking it up after seeing that it was
Valerie. "Hello?" A few seconds later Valerie's
voice came from the other line. "Hey Star, do you mind if we
meet at the Nasty Burger? My shift here is over at 6:00 and it would
be alot easier if you guys met here." Star
pondered for a second. She lived right down the street from the Nasty
Burger, and her brother would love being there again. "Sure,
but do you mind if I bring Dave?" ' Please don't
mind. Please don't mind.' "Of course you can bring
him! All right, bye! I'll get in trouble if my boss sees me talking
to you and not a costumer." Valerie replied, her voice
suddenly getting worried. "All right bye!"
"Yep. Daddy pulled it
out. It hurt bad." Dave told her, his voice sounding sad,
and yet proud. "Aww...thats too bad. Maybe later we can go
get ice cream if your good." Bad idea. Her brother began to jump up
and down. "Ice cream! Ice cream!" Star began to
wave her finger as she stood up again. "If your a good
boy!" Dave curled his lip, making the puppy dog eyes, and
stared up at her innocently. "I'll be good!" She
smiled at him and took his hand. "I know you will."
She and her brother headed for the door. "Bye mom!"
She yelled as she opened the door and they both walked into the warm
spring air. They headed towards the Nasty
Burger, he brother making noises that resembled loud racecars, and
they sped up. Even though Star was clutching David's hand he still
managed to get remarkable ahead of her, because he was obviously
excited about ice cream and french fries, which were the two basic
food groups to him. When they walked into
the Nasty Burger, Star saw Danny, Sam, and Tucker at a booth, talking
among themselves. She looked around and saw Valerie hanging up her
vest behind the counter. She let go of Dave's hand and he ran to the
counter, jumping up and down. She waved to Sam, who had noticed her
and strode over to the counter. After ordering a small fry, her
brother stoped jumping and she grabbed his hand again.
Valerie was now standing next to the
booth that the trio was at, so she grabbed the bag that the fries
where in and walked over to the booth. "Hey guys! This is
David, my little brother." She told them, and her brother
waved shyly.Sam looked at her with a smile. "Hi! nice
outfit!" She said to Star, and than greeted Dave. Danny got
out of the booth and bent down to David, shaking his hand. "Hi
David, I'm Danny. Very nice to meet you." He said kindly.
Dave smiled, his missing tooth now visible. "Hi! Are you
Star's boyfriend" Star
felt herself blushing. "No, he's just a new friend who
happens to be a boy!" She said quickly. Why was she
blushing? Danny was cute and all, but he was already being fought for
by Valerie and Sam, and Sam was winning obviously. She looked at his
face. It was also pretty red. He smiled and stood up, sitting next to
Sam, where he was before. Just as he sat down, he shivered and Star
could have sworn she saw her breath. ' Funny. It's not
cold.' He once again stood up and blurted out nervously,"Sorry,
I'll be right back!" before running to the boys
bathroom. Just as he closed the door, she
heard her little brother's scream behind her. She turned around,
screaming as soon as her mind had enough time to register what her
eyes saw. A huge, red eyed, ghost with green colored skin that seemed
to crawl was about 10 feet behind her, holding her thrashing brother.
Her eyes closed quickly and she froze, not knowing what to do.
'I'm so grounded 'she thought.
She heard a large blast and a moan from the ghost, but was still too
frightened to open her eyes to see what had happened. A
familiar voice came from nowhere. "Back of ghost punk!"
After a series of loud blasts, screams, and "thud"s
she heard a loud sucking noise, and a blue light leaked through her
tightly closed eyes. A bit calmer, she opened her eyes to see that
her brother wasn't there anymore. A loud
laugh echoed through the deserted Nasty Burger, and Star turned
around quickly. Floating behind her, was none other than Danny
Phantom, making a face that resembled a monkey to amuse David, who
was in his arms. Author's

BR
"Click" The
excited fifteen-year-old hung up the phone and ran downstairs after
grabbing her purse. She found her little brother, kneeled down and
told him that they were going to go to the Nasty Burger and get some
french fries. She grabbed his shoes and helped him put them on. As
she patiently instructed him how to tie his shoe, she noticed one of
his front teeth were missing. "Hey, did you already lose
your first tooth?" She hadn't noticed it missing
before.
Aha! Yay for semi-cliffies! Anyway,
this chapter somehow came to me really quickly. Dunno why. I just
wrote this in about 45 minutes. shrugs oh well. Anyway, now you
know a little bit more about Star's life. And David(Dave) is named
and based on my older brother. What I would imagine him to be at age
five of course, beings how I am not younger than 5 and writing this
story. And I didn't forget about Valerie being there when the ghost grabbed Dave!
Anyway, I'll get right to writing the next chapter now. Expect
it by Wednesday. Review peoples!
