The Beginning

Chapter Five

A Nasty Surprise!

"So this is like, the teen hang out?" Kelly asked as she and Danny sat down in a private booth in the corner of the Nasty Burger. She had a small box of fries in front of her, making Danny feel like a pig – he had a triple cheeseburger, a large box of fries, and a large soda in front of him. He was hungry, after all, and a growing ghost boy.

"Yeah. Everyone comes here," Danny told her in between mouthfuls of cheeseburger. "It's not really for the food – it's not amazing food – but mainly to socialize, I suppose. Only teen hang out that we have,"

"Listen Danny, thanks for being so kind to me," Kelly thanked him shyly. "It's my first day and all, and you just took me under your wing and it was just so nice. I was really scared that I'd make no friends but now that fear is gone. I can tell we're going to be great friends."

"Me, too," Danny breathed.

Kelly smiled at him and began to nervously ask him a question. "So, Danny, I was just wondering, I know it's really sudden and all but -"

She was cut off by a loud explosion that came from outside the Nasty Burger. "What was that?" Danny cried, seemingly oblivious.

Kelly looked around her with narrowed eyes before jumping up from her seat. Danny glanced at her arms as his ghost sense was triggered and saw that they were covered in goose bumps – suspicious. He wasn't about to wait for tonight to consider the similarities between Kelly Stager and Kelly-Go-Boom – heck, they even had the same name. Well, kind of. But instead, he would follow her discreetly and use his ghost powers to discover the truth.

Kelly looked to see what Danny was doing. He watched as her expression went from one of determination to one of hesitation. She wasn't sure how to get rid of Danny without hurting his feelings. Danny knew how she felt – he had had to do it with many people he had cared about in the past. "We should go," she told him.

There was another explosion and one wall of the building came crumbling down. Danny ran behind her until they were almost at the door and he realised that somehow he would have to lose her if he were to turn invisible and discover the truth about her. He would have to trip over and risk getting hurt by teenaged boots as others trampled him to get out of the door.

"Ah," he cried as he fell down, but luckily Kelly didn't hear his cry and didn't turn around. She just assumed that he was still there behind here. Danny moaned as people walked over him and he slowly crawled towards a wall, out of the path of boots. Soon, everyone had gone through the door and Danny turned invisible.

Luckily, he was just in time. Kelly poked her head through the front doors and called out his name cautiously.

"I guess he just disappeared," she muttered to herself with a shrug as she stepped inside the now abandoned hangout. She glanced around as if to make sure that it was really abandoned and then closed her emerald green eyes.

Though Danny had expected it, he was still surprised when the fiery red ring appeared around Kelly Stager's waist. So this is what it's like when Sam and Tuck watch me transform, his mind whispered. He felt as though he was intruding on Kelly's privacy as he watched her transform but he couldn't look away.

Though he had decided he would stay quiet throughout the whole transformation, he couldn't help but let an audible gasp escape from his lips once Kelly had finished transforming into the new half ghost in town – Kelly-Go-Boom.

Unfortunately, the ghost girl was able to hear his gasp and turned towards the spot where he was crouched by the floor, invisible. "Who's there?" She growled. "Show yourself, ghost!"

Danny used his powers to sink through the wall and into what appeared to be the female toilets. "Ah well," he muttered to himself as he turned visible once again. "It'll have to do. Going ghost!"

The same glowing rings that he had seen around Kelly's body appeared around his –except his were lighter – and transformed him into Danny Phantom. He ran his gloved hand through his silver hair before turning intangible and flying up to the roof to where he assumed that the ghost would be. It couldn't have been a very powerful ghost otherwise it would have blown up the entire Nasty Burger by this time.

And surely enough, when he got onto the roof, he saw that it was only the ghost bounty hunter – Skulker. He smirked and returned to visibility. "Skulker, what are you doing here? Skulking?" The ghost hunter spun around to face his enemy. "Ember leave you, did she?"

Skulker glared at the ghost boy distastefully. "It is you, the one whose pelt I shall have adorning my wall very soon."

"Dream on," Danny retorted. "I don't do walls. They make me look awfully fat,"

"Oh, continue with your smart remarks for now, but you will see. I will destroy you, ghost child." Skulker assured him.

"You'll have to get through me first,"

Danny knew who the voice belonged to before even turning around. Kelly-Go-Boom.

"And who do you think you are, whelp?" Skulker demanded, firing up an ecto-gun that was attacked to his battle suit.

"Me? Oh, well, I'm afraid I can't tell you that. It may cause a boom." Kelly winked at Danny.

Danny smiled slightly – Kelly-Go-Boom was definitely Kelly Stager. He sobered up as he thought about it. It was troubling him, despite the fact that he himself was half ghost. He was being discriminative towards Kelly, and it wasn't fair.

Danny shook his head to rid it of all thoughts of Kelly. He would think about that later. But for now his primary focus was getting Skulker into his Fenton Thermos before any more damage could be done to the town. It was a surprise that they were able to afford to repair the damage caused by reckless ghosts.

Kelly tried to fire an ecto-ray at Skulker but he threw up an ecto-shield before the ray even came close to him.

"Upgraded your suit, Skulker?" Danny asked absently as he tried to figure out a plan to capture this annoying ghost.

"Of course. Who do you think I am, a ghost who would walk around with inferior battle equipment? I have only the best." Skulker boasted. "And whelp, what do you call yourself? I may wish to put you upon my toilet seat, if you are lucky."

"I'm sorry, whatever your name is, but I'm pretty sure that's gross. The names Kelly. Kelly-Go-Boom. And you can't call me KGB. Only friends can call me that."

"He's Skulker," Danny supplied as he pulled out his Fenton Thermos, examining it as though he was not paying any attention at all to Skulker.

"Foolishness," Skulker commented as he aimed a gun at Danny's head. "You should always focus on your enemy in a fight, despite what it appears he may or may not be doing. I'm surprised you're still alive, half breed."

"Same with you," Danny smiled at the ghost. "I'm also afraid that I forgot to give my mother back her vacuum cleaner. Such a shame."

Kelly raised an eyebrow at this – she was clearly confused and hadn't heard of the Fenton's vacuum cleaner. Danny grinned at Skulker and whipped out a small pen. It was only a disguise. He pressed a button on the pen and it grew in size and changed its form so that it looked like a vacuum cleaner.

"Kudos Skulker," Danny smiled as he pressed the on button. The new and improved Fenton Vacuum cleaner only sucked up ghost technology, so it instantly honed in on Skulker's suit and ripped it right off of his midget green body.

He looked so pathetic as a blob that Danny couldn't help but laugh. "Into the Thermos you go," Danny muttered as he sucked the screaming ghost into his Fenton Thermos.

"You have got to be kidding me," Kelly exclaimed.

"What?" Danny asked, horrified that maybe Kelly had discovered that he was carrying around a Fenton Thermos.

"He was a blob."

Danny grinned. "A crazy blob."

"But nevertheless, he was a blob." Kelly concluded with a giggle. "You're pretty good at this,"

"So are you," Danny complimented her.

"Danny Phantom!"

Danny looked down as he heard someone call his name from the ground. It didn't have a hollow echo to it so he knew at once that it wasn't a ghost calling his name. Instead, he saw two small figures below him.

He sunk to the ground to see why they were calling him. Once he was standing on the flat ground he noticed that they were almost as tall as he was, and could only be a few years younger than him at the most. Both of them were female. "Yes?" he answered.

"I'm Keira," the taller of the two introduced herself. She had hazy brown eyes and muddy brown hair that was tied back into a bun. "And this is my friend Fiona," she gestured to the short friend, who had jet black hair and brown eyes. "Pleased to make your acquaintance,"

Danny shook Keira's extended hand and glanced at Kelly who was sharing his expression of bewilderment. "Um, hello. Listen, kids, I'm really –"

"Danny Phantom," Fiona interrupted. It was then that Danny noticed that Fiona was holding a video camera in her hands while Keira was clutching a microphone. "Keira and I have recently begun producing a show featuring ghosts and we were wondering if you would care to be our highlight for this week's episode."

Danny raised his eyebrows. "What?"

"We'd just like you to answer a few questions. If you find that they are too personal, just tell us. Agreed?" Keira told him.

"Um," Danny met Kelly's bright red eyes and smiled. "Okay,"

It was then that the two turned to Kelly. "If we may be so rude as to ask, who the hell are you, ghost?" Fiona demanded.

Kelly looked taken aback as Fiona spoke rudely to her. "Why, I am none other than Kelly-Go-Boom, the ghost of Wisconsin."

"I suppose she can be on the show if she must," Keira muttered. "We're live in 20."

Danny shrugged his shoulders at Kelly while Fiona set up the camera and Keira came to stand in between the two ghost teens.

"And we're live," Fiona muttered as a red light came onto the video camera.

"Hello, and welcome to this week's issue of Ghosts Uncracked. My name's Keira and I'll be your host for tonight," She smiled warmly at the camera. "Today I am here, interviewing the legendary, the deadly, the infamous Danny Phantom!" She cried.

Danny nudged her slightly so as to remind her of Kelly's presence. Despite his mixed feelings for the halfa, he couldn't just watch as she was treated like unwanted cheese.

"Oh and Kelly-Go-Boom," Keira muttered angrily. "It was only minutes ago that Fiona and I witnessed a new ghost attack on the poor old Nasty Burger. One of the walls collapsed down due to the excessive pressure that the ghost put on it. Teenagers ran screaming out of this local hangout as one brave ghost flew up to the rescue. Ouch, I mean two." Danny had elbowed her once again.

"It seemed it was a well-known ghost, named Skulker, attacking this innocent building. But Danny Phantom used a weapon to rid the ghost of its armour and reveal it for what it truly was – a small, insignificant ghost. Now, Danny Phantom, can you please tell me what the weapon you used to suck up the armour is called and what it does?"

Danny hesitated before clearing his voice and grinning. "It was a vacuum cleaner. It sucks up anything in its path." It wasn't a lie – just not the entire truth.

"Okay then…" Keira shared a look with Fiona. "So Danny Phantom, you are known as an evil ghost who enjoys reaping havoc on this peaceful town. Have you anything to say on this?"

Danny frowned. "I am not evil. I do not reap havoc on this town. I fight the ghosts who do." He decided to keep his answers short and simple – he wasn't even sure why he was still doing this in the first place.

"If you are a ghost," Keira began. "Why do you fight others of your kind?"

"Why do humans fight each other?" Danny retorted.

Before Keira could reply, Danny's cell phone began to rang. "Danny Phantom, why do you have a cell phone?"

"Excuse me," Danny muttered, walking away from the camera and checking the caller ID. It was someone calling from his house. He flipped the phone open and answered, hoping that the caller would not notice the slight echo to his voice.

"Danny! It's me!"

It was his father. "Hi, Dad, look I can't talk right now…"

"Where are you?" his father interrogated him.

"Um," Danny paused. "At a friend's house."

"Who?"

Danny hesitated, hoping that he wouldn't be caught up in the lie. "Uh, Tucker's?"

"Whatever. Are you watching TV?" Jack boomed.

"Um, no, why?" Danny hoped that his father wasn't watching the 'interview with Danny Phantom'.

"Some girls are interviewing Danny Phantom! It's completely bogus, and an outrage! He is claiming to not be evil! And there was footage of the fight between him and another ghost, and Danny Phantom had a Fenton Vacuumer and a Fenton Thermos! I should charge him with theft, evil ghost."

"Uh," Danny croaked nervously. "Dad, listen, I have to go." Danny hung up on his father before Jack could reply.

Danny flew back to where Keira was reluctantly asking Kelly some questions. "Okay, I have to go, bye!" He announced before turning invisible and flying off, not waiting for a response.

When Danny was quite a distance away he flew behind an empty building and transformed back into Danny Fenton. He checked his mobile and saw that he had five missed calls as well as a message from his sister saying 'where r u? u 4got. its important dan.'

"Damn, I forgot that Jazz wanted to talk to me," Danny cursed himself. "I better not forget to call Kelly tonight and apologise for running off on her, otherwise she may get worried or even suspicious. But for now…"

Danny dialled two numbers and put the phone to his ear. The people on the other end picked up after the third ring. "Sam, Tucker," Danny spoke into the mouthpiece. "I have something to tell you about Kelly."

Dun Dun Dun! See Steph, I told you I'd end it like this :) And guess what? It's longer than usual! Now, I'm wanting to watch Danny Phantom. But. I think I'll write a little bit more before, otherwise I will never get back into the mood of writing. I have to work tomorrow, so i doubt i'll get much done then. And then I have to work the day after. But I will get this done. I will I will I will. Wow it's 4. I've been writing since.. 11. On and off. :) I've been doing many other things as well. Yum. I love tea. Tea tea tea.

Well, I'm going to try to encourage you to read and review. If people do, it will encourage me to not be so lazy and to write faster and better because I am being slack at the moment.

YAY! It's CHOCOLATE TIME

Kirstyn And Her VampireElf Dots :D
