A/N: So this is kinda the same as the last chapter, but with a bit of an alternate ending, which I also had fun writing because Danny has every right to be salty with everyone he comes in contact with after he revealed himself as Phantom haha.

anonymous on Tumblr asked:

Can we get an alternative ending of the Dash after PP prompt where Danny is forgiving but also a little more salty?

Danny jumped when he saw a hand land on the locker beside him, immediately grabbing his attention and he turned around to face who it was. Of course it was none other than Dash himself. "Dash." Danny greeted, his eyes slightly narrowing, waiting for his beating that was sure to come. "What do you want?"

Sure, it had only been a week since the Disasteroid incident, a week since he had revealed to the world that he was Danny Phantom(And boy did that ever get a lot off his chest), but he wouldn't expect things between him and Dash to change so quickly. He'd been bombarded with questions from people in the school all morning and it wasn't even first period yet, so he was a little irritated and didn't want anything to do with Dash.

"Hey Fenton." Dash spoke quietly, and Danny was rather surprised, but he didn't let his guard down. "I, uh," He rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry."

Danny stared at him. There were a million reasons why Dash could possibly be saying sorry to him and he didn't know why he even was. When Danny didn't say anything, Dash continued talking and rambling, mostly about how he regrets that he was "wailing on his hero everyday". To Danny, it was almost a pathetic excuse for an apology.

"Dash." Danny said, interrupting the jock, his eyes were slightly narrowed as he looked up at the taller boy. "You really never had any excuse to do the things you've done to me." This was one of the first times he'd ever really talked back to Dash; any other time he'd attempt to, Dash would just punch him and shove him in a locker. The jock didn't even try to do any of those things, in fact just staying where he was, it was like the knowledge that he was Phantom gave Danny some kind of power over others now.

"I've been through a lot and had to deal with a lot." Danny continued. "Not only was fighting ghosts a problem, or keeping what was my secret a secret, but coming to school every day and having to deal with you beating me up, even before or after ghosts do that to me themselves." At this point, Danny felt like he was getting a load off his chest that he needed gone; that Dash needed to hear this.

"It's just a shame that it took this long, for me to reveal myself, for you to stop doing this." Danny finished, and sighed, but never dropped his gaze from Dash's.

"I.." Dash started after a few moments of Danny finishing his speech. He pulled away from the locker, giving Danny the space he probably needed. "Man, I must seem like a huge jerk."

"You don't say." Danny deadpanned, crossing his arms in front of his chest. It was Dash's turn to sigh this time.

"Do you think you can forgive me?" Dash asked, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"Well, I don't think I can forgive you that quickly." Danny said, shaking his head slightly. "But maybe over time, if you really mean what you said."

Dash smiled. "Thanks, Fenton. That's good enough for me."
