Apricity

the warmth of the sun in winter

(These prompts are from Laora, originally for the video game The Last Story)

101. Gold

It was hard enough for Dash to get a B on any academic work, so he tried to make up for it by ensuring that Casper High always came home with the football trophy.

102. Hallowed

"And I don't care how much you don't like it, but you do not step a single foot into Amity Park, without his permission, do you hear me?"

103. Dome ("Reign Storm")

The worst single image he can remember, the one that took his breath away and left him shivering with the sheer magnitude of the ghostly powers he was up against, was seeing Amity Park covered with a glowing dome… and nothing but green sky behind it.

104. Natural

"Just act natural," Danny had said, but what on earth did acting naturally look like when you've just discovered that your little brother is half dead and part ghost and uses his superpowers to save the town and he still hasn't informed your parents of this little detail?

105. Unfinished

Goodguys versus badguys—it was the age old story that had been retold and replayed over and over since the dawn of time, and Danny eventually realized that his business would never be finished.

106. Language (TP: Language)

"Danny," Maddie called in confusion, stepping into his empty room and discovering that the noise she'd been hearing was a CD still playing out of his computer that sounded like it was a crash course in gibberish.

107. Tune ("Fanning the Flames") (TP: Serenade)

"You picked truth, Danny, so there's no getting out of this one: you have to tell me what you really think about my singing… because I've been getting some mixed messages after the whole Ember thing and I wanna know."

108. Blue

If you asked Sam Manson what her favorite color was, she would automatically tell you it was black (or anything but pink!) but Tucker happened to know that it was a particular shade of blue that she got to see almost every day.

109. Inheritance

Sam finally cornered Jazz one day to ask whether general cluelessness ran through the male side of the Fenton family and the redhead nodded sympathetically and replied that yes, all of the brains came to the girls.

*110. Wraith

"They are ring wraiths," Aragorn informed the hobbits from the center of the gigantic screen in Sam's basement, "they are neither living nor dead," and instead of letting the tense revelation play out in silence, Tucker decided to throw popcorn over at Danny who sat on the couch opposite him and shout, "Hey, dude, that's just like you!"

111. Art (Abstract)

Fixing property damage was expensive and Amity Park had a lot of it thanks to the nearly routine ghost fights that destroyed a new city block every week; thankfully, someone in the community had the bright idea to sell scorched and twisted pieces of metal debris as works of abstract art to tourists in a new local gallery which quickly spawned a guest collection at the Art Institute downtown Chicago when one of their scouts came through Amity and, while laughing at the idea of ghosts, applauded the communal mindset of the anonymous artist (going under the pseudonym Danny Phantom) who ensured that all the proceeds went to the city's repair fund.

112. Essential (Plot Bunny)

It was scary to realize that since his computer was too heavy and fragile to lug around where he was going (and where would he ever have a chance to charge it or use it?) and the gps in his phone could be traced as long as the battery was in and it was useful to him, the only things he thought essential to take were the clothes on his back, any anti-ghost weapons he could fit into his pockets, the cash lying on his dresser, and two photographs: one of his family and one of his friends.

*113. Bottle

"Hey, Desiree!" Danny shouted as he pointed the silver tube toward her, "I wish you went back into my thermos!" and he grinned as she was pulled into the vortex of the metal in his hands and parroted in a grandiose voice, "Great cosmic power… itty bitty living space!"

114. Speed

When Tucker asked him what the fastest speed he'd ever flown was, Danny told him it was probably around 140 mph, but he didn't tell him that the reason it hadn't been officially clocked was because he was fueled by adrenaline and fear, desperately racing across town so that he could get between the dark shape and his friends, whom it seemed intent on frying.

115. Card

"Thank you!" was all it said, and there was no name attached to the letter left outside the door of FentonWorks accompanied by a flower drawn with a black and green crayon which could, if you looked closely enough, see was made up of tiny Phantom symbols in the petals.

116. Water ("Whatever episode has the fight in the pool")

He was perfectly at home ghost-fighting pretty much anywhere, but when Skulker pulled him down into that pool, Danny's first reaction was to panic.

117. Roses ("Urban Jungle")

He laid a handful of black roses on her tombstone every year, a fitting tribute for the only casualty of the time when the city was covered in vines.

118. Ultimate ("The Ultimate Enemy")

Tears streamed down his face as he sheltered inside the cocoon of Vlad's steadying arms and tried not to think about the consequences as he offered no protests against the man's plan to free him of the pain.

119. Paralyze

"Danny," Tucker said in a strangled voice, "I think I might actually need some help getting up, because, uh, I can't really feel my legs very well, or, at all, really."

120. Sky

Some kids wrote in a journal, let all of their emotions spew forth onto the page; others immersed themselves in music, plugging into headphones that let the notes flow through them and wash them clean; still others find a cause to plunge themselves into head first; but when Danny needed to clear his head and get away from it all for a while, he took to the skies.

*110 Wraith- The movie they were watching, of course, was The Fellowship of the Ring.

*113 Bottle- The dialogue was paraphrased from the end of Disney's Aladdin.
