Finally got this up! Thanks to all who reviewed! The book title that Mr. Lancer says in this chapter was suggested by JuneLuxray! This chapter is for AngelSheWolf who requested that I do a chapter with Wulf in it!
Ok so I don't own Danny phantom *sobs* Hope you enjoy!
Danny was passed out for a couple of hours. The whole time everyone just stared at him, wondering if he was going to be ok. He hadn't moved a muscle, the only way they could tell that he was alive was the steady rising and falling of his chest.
When Danny woke up, all he could think about was how much his head hurt, but he couldn't remember why.
Danny sat up, groaned, and looked around. He was a surprised to see everyone staring at him.
Maddie rushed forward and asked. "Danny, are you all right? How are you feeling?"
"My head really hurts," Danny said, rubbing his head. "Um, what happened?"
"Don't you remember dude, Ember hit you with her guitar," Tucker said.
Danny looked at him strangely, but then everything came back to him all at once.
"Oh yeah, now I remember," Danny mumbled. "How long was I out?"
"A couple of hours," Tucker said.
Danny sighed and tried to stand up, but when he did everything started spinning and he fell back down.
"Sweetie, you need to rest," Maddie said gently. "You just suffered a bad head injury. Speaking of which, Danny I need to change your bandages.
Danny nodded, but then remembered something very important.
"Um, that's ok mom," Danny said quickly.
"Danny, you need to have your bandages changed," Maddie said reaching forward.
"Ms. Fenton maybe I should do it," Sam said, also remembering what was so important.
"Yeah mom, maybe Sam should," Danny said.
"What's the big deal anyway?" Maddie asked. "I promise to be gentle."
Sam and Danny exchanged looks. They were about to say something when Maddie started unwrapping Danny's head.
He tried to pull away but it was too late. Maddie gasped at the sight of her sons head, it was almost completely healed. Everyone gathered around to look and gasped too.
"Angela's Ashes!" Mr. Lancer exclaimed. "How did you heal so fast?"
"Well you see… I um…" Danny stammered. "I-I just can."
"It's not physically possible to heal that fast," Mr. Lancer protested.
"Well, I just can," Danny said lamely.
Everyone just stared at Danny; no one knew what to think.
"Maybe we should start walking again," Danny said, starting to stand up.
Maddie quickly put a hand on his shoulder and said gently. "Danny, you need to rest for a little bit longer. I don't care if your wound is almost healed, you still can barely stand."
Danny sighed and nodded, his head was still hurting like crazy and he was really nauseous. Right now all Danny wanted to do was lie down and go to sleep, but he decided against going to sleep and instead just lay down and tried to rest.
He had only been lying down for a couple of minutes when he heard something running straight towards them.
Danny sat up and looked behind him. When he saw what was coming, he quickly stood up.
Running straight at them was a large, harry, wolf with black fur, wearing green clothes.
When the wolf caught sight of Danny he started calling out "mia amiko, mia amiko!"
The wolf ran up to Danny and started licking his face.
"Hey Wulf!" Danny said laughing. (a/n I don't know any Esperanto, Danny and Wulf are speaking in Esperanto but I'm going to be writing in English)
"Wulf, you finally got out of Walkers jail!" Danny said excitedly.
"Yes mia amiko," Wulf said. "I just escaped a few hours ago. I was on my way to your house to see if you could get this collar off me again."
"Sure buddy," Danny said turning to Tucker.
"Hey Tuck, can you get that collar off Wulf again?" Danny asked Tucker in English.
"I'll try," Tucker said, walking up to Wulf.
Tucker took out his PDA and hooked it up to the collar; he then started typing things into his PDA till the collar finally came off.
"Thank you mia amiko, thank you!" Wulf said in Esperanto.
"You're welcome," Tucker said also speaking in Esperanto.
"Mia amiko, I must get going, Walker is probably looking for me and I don't want him seeing you," Wulf said.
"Ok, goodbye, it was nice seeing you again," Danny said, hugging Wulf.
"Goodbye mia amiko," Wulf called, taking off.
Danny turned around to see everyone staring at him again.
"Danny, what language were you speaking?" Maddie asked, completely confused.
"It's Esperanto," Danny explained.
"Esperwhata?" Dash asked.
"Esperanto an artificial language from the eighteen-hundreds," Tucker explained.
"It's the only language Wulf speaks," Danny said. "He speaks and understands very little English, so after I met him a few months ago I decided to learn Esperanto so I could talk to him and understand him."
"By the way Danny, how did you learn to speak Esperanto so fluently?" Tucker asked. "I taught you a little bit, but you were using words that I don't even know. How do you know it better than me?"
"Well I figured that I needed to know more to talk to Wulf so I taught it to myself," Danny said proudly.
"Wait a minute," Mr. Lancer said. "You said you only met him a few months ago, how did you learn to speak it so fast?"
"Well, it was just so interesting that it came easily to me," Danny explained. "It took a lot of work, but it was worth it to be able to talk to Wulf."
"Maybe if you did that with your school work you might be able to get good grades," Mr. Lancer said.
Danny groaned and murmured "Yeah, ok."
"I would do that if I wasn't out fighting ghosts every day," Danny thought glumly.
"Let's start walking again," Danny sighed.
Mr. Lancer's POV
What is up with Daniel? I have been asking myself that for months now.
At the beginning of the year Danny was doing great in school. His grades were always A's and B's, the lowest score he ever got was a B-.
When he first came into my class I saw a smart, enthusiastic boy, wanting to learn. His favorite subject to talk about was always space. He knew a ton of facts about space, and he could point out all the constellations in the sky. I knew that one day he would be living his dream; he would become an astronaut.
I had such high hopes for him but then he went though his clumsy phase. Dropping thirty-four beakers in a moth, he was banned from handling all of the schools fragile items.
Then he started coming in late for class, looking like someone had beat him up, he also stopped doing his homework. Danny would raise his hand and ask to be excused for whatever reasons. When he would come back, that is if he would come back at all, he would have some sort of scratch or bruise.
He grades are slipping too. Now the highest score Danny gets is a C. I know he can do better; he is a very bright boy. I mean, Danny knows Esperanto and it only took a few months for him to learn it. He is definitely a very smart boy.
So what is keeping him from doing well in school? What is making him come to school beaten and bruised or run off during class?
One of the biggest questions on my mind is why does Danny hide what he can do physically. The way he did those flips and other stuff while fighting those ghosts was incredible. If he showed what he could do, Danny would be a popular kid, but then again, maybe that's not what he wants.
Ever since Danny went though his clumsy phase he has been more resigned to himself and his friends. While everyone else is trying to make their way up the social ladder, Danny seems to be trying to make his way down it.
Another thing that is bothering me is how Danny can heal so fast. That cut on his head would take at least a few months to heal on someone else. Now that I think of it, when Danny would come into class with a bruise or a cut, by then end of class it would be completely gone.
Danny has always been a very shy person, but with the way he talked to those ghosts you would never know it. The strange thing is that he talks to them and they talk back to him like they know each other, like they are battling each other on a daily basis. I wonder if that is why Danny is coming into school beaten up. Is Danny out fighting ghosts without anybody knowing besides Sam and Tucker? No, we would have heard something in the news about it. Besides, Phantom is the one that fights ghosts.
So what is going on with Danny?
