Hey guys! I'm back for chapter 7! Also, I changed my name, so yay for that! I go by Pheonix-Inferno now. Cool name right? Yeah, I think so. Anyways, I think I've kept you waiting long enough! Yeah, I know it was not very long, and I said I wanted to give people time to review, but I have become a writing addict! So, sorry; though I don't know why I'm apologizing I'm basically updating this early! To make up for how I was going to wait a bit longer before updates, I wrote a story called Remember, though now I guess it is just a gift and not an apology. Or maybe if I get some more will power it can be one. I got home and before I even knew what I was doing I was typing up another chapter. I was going to wait to publish it to as I said before give people time to review but it was like torture. I lasted less than ten minutes before I NEEDED to post it. If you are interested you can go see it. It is as you maybe guessed from the name a story centered around Ember. It is a one-shot, and it is a rather sad one. Anyways, go check it out if you like! Now, on to the story :)!

"I think I may have an idea about what is going on," Sam repeated.

"Wow, really? What?" Danny asked, curious to hear the answer.

"Remember when you first got your powers?" Sam questioned.

"I think I know what you're thinking," Danny said. He saw where this was going. When he had first gotten his powers, it had been a disaster. He had been unable to control his intangibility, which had caused a lot of trouble when he was trying to keep his secret- well- a secret.

"You're saying that this is like then. But I have had my ghost powers for a while now, it's not like they are new anymore. Besides, I only had trouble with my intangibility then. Now I am not only having trouble with my intangibility, but also my ghost rays. Why would my powers suddenly act up without a good reason? Danny wondered. He saw where Sam was going but he didn't see any similarities between right after the accident and now besides his powers malfunctioning.

"Wait, your intangibility has been malfunctioning too?" Danny heard Sam's voice come out slightly static-y through his phone. Danny sighed, knowing that having his phone on him meant that when he got slammed into walls, so did it. That could not be good for it. Maybe he could convince Sam to get him a new one or Tucker to give him one of the six phones that he knew were stashed somewhere in his room.

"Danny?" Sam said with worry. "Are you ok?"

Danny blinked, then remembered where he was. He had stopped packing his backpack and was just staring into space. Shaking his head to clear out the last of the mental fog, he replied.

"Sorry Sam, just spaced out a little. I really need to get more sleep." Danny replied, wincing at the sight of last night's unfinished homework. Mr. Lancer was not going to be happy.

"What were you saying about your intangibility?"

"I think it was acting up this morning. Jazz dumped ice water over my head and I don't remember going intangible, but somehow, I stayed dry. I think my intangibility must have acted up, but at least I didn't end up under my bed aagin!"

"Wait Jazz dumped ice water on you?" Sam replied in confusion. Just as Danny was about to reply she cut him off. "Never mind, it's not important. What's important is why your powers are acting up. I can't think of why this would be happening- unless…" Sam trailed off mid-though. She obviously had had an idea.

"Unless…." Danny prompted.

"Who do we know who has something against you, and has access to the technology that can make your powers malfunction, and has maybe even invented something that has affected your powers before?" Sam replied, causing Danny's eyes to harden.

"Plasmius!" Danny's eyes flashed a bright green. "I knew he has been too quiet lately! What did he do to my powers!"

Danny was pretty much ready to fly to Wisconsin that very moment and give that fruit-loop a piece of his mind about messing with other people's powers! He felt his fists tighten as he transformed into Phantom, and started floating. He was about to speed off when Sam's voice rang out from the phone distracting him.

"Wait, no! We still don't know what he did! We should meet up with Tucker at school and explain what happened, so we can figure out how to combat it. Besides, the last thing you need is to miss even more school. I swear he is a step away from tying you down and forcing you to study! (I might write a fanfic based on this idea; what if Mr. Lancer is so tired of Danny failing that charges the Fentons with making sure he does nothing but study, which being the Fentons they take way too seriously. And with Phantom mysteriously absent, what will happen to the town. I don't know, might be interesting?)" Sam frantically explained, trying to convince Danny not to do anything rash.

Danny's shoulders slump, he knows Sam is right. Changing back into Fenton he sits back down on the bed.

"You are right Sam, I need to be rational. We can talk about this at school." Danny said, hanging up his cell phone. Danny trotted to the bathroom, grabbed his toothbrush and started brushing his teeth with such ferocity it seemed that he was trying to break the brush. He knew that if he hurried then he might now be late for school for once. Danny spit and then looked up into the mirror that hung above his bathroom counter. He wondered if-

Then he stopped dead in shock. His hair, it was, it was.

White! His hair was white! Danny changed walked around to look at his hair from a different angle, hoping it was a trick of the light. His hair stayed the same snow white color it had been. What in the world! Danny thought frantically. He knew for a fact that he wasn't in his ghost form, so why-"

Plasmius! Danny thought with furry. If the effects of whatever he had done to him were this rapid and extreme, who knew what would come next. Danny knew he could not waste any more time there. Besides, it was not like he could go to school looking like this. He looked just like Phantom, just minus the green eyes and ghostly glow. Though the people of Amity Park were not the smartest, it would not take much for someone to put two and two together, and then his secret would be out.

Sorry, Sam. Danny thought as he flew north towards Wisconsin. If you knew what just happened I'm sure you would want me to do this, but there is no time to call you now.

And with that thought, Danny increased his speed. He hoped Vlad was ready because Danny Phantom was coming for him.

Ok, that's all for now! Did anybody catch my pun? "Stopped dead?" Ha, right? *Pauses, just awkward silence until a tomato flies at her

Ok, ok, I get it! Nobody cares!

Although this chapter was only like 1,400 words, I felt like it was pretty interesting and pretty good overall. I mean, quality over quantity, right! I have a long weekend in the upcoming days, so either I will be busy with another big project or you will get a lot more updates! Anyways, if you are bored feel free to look at my other story Remember! Oh yeah, and please, please, please favorite and review! I cannot say it enough times! I know you will, because you guys are amazing!
