Chapter 7: Morning Madness
Danny waits down a wedding aisle as his friends and even a few of his ghostly adversaries sit in the rows. His parents weeping tears of joy, his older sister nodding, he even sees Danielle as the flower girl coming in. He sees Paulina, Star and Valerie crying and his two best friends showing their approval. Even Skulker is crying.
He looks down the aisle and sees her, Kim Possible, in a beautiful wedding dress. She arrives and, despite Danny being a 14-year-old and Kim being a 16-year-old, the two are getting married.
Frostbite, Danny's ghostly yeti friend, arrives as the pastor.
"Do you, Kimberly Ann Possible, take Danny Fenton, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do." She says with a big smile and eyes full of love.
"And do you, Danny Fenton, take Kimberly Ann Possible, as your lawfully wedded wife?
"I do." Danny says.
"Then I now pronounce you-"
Suddenly, the entire area, sans the couple disappear as though burnt by green fire. Standing behind Danny is Shego. He looks behind when she starts speaking.
"What's wrong, little man?" She says. "Don't you want someone a little more… experienced?" She says with a seductive tone.
"Back off, Shego!" Kim jealously says while getting between them. "I saw him first!"
"Think that bothers me, Kimmie?!" Shego says.
Both women start fighting over Danny and he smiles at this. They both look to the boy.
"Kiss one of us!" They both kneel down and pucker up.
Looking at each one, Danny is confused, but decides to close his eyes and moves in for a kiss.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Danny wakes up in bed.
"A dream?" Danny asks before sighing. "Darn…" He plops his head back on the pillow before turning off his alarm. "I should at least get Shego's real name before I dream that. I don't think Shego Fenton would work in any kind of reality."
Great, now I have a crush on two babes out of my league. One is older and evil but totally hot. The other is a little closer to my age, but I'm thinking she's totally oblivious to Danny Fenton. Her reaction to me trying to be suave as Danny Phantom clearly didn't give me any results. At least, not the one I want.
He looks at his alarm and sees the time is 7:00 AM.
"Well, if I fall asleep and have that dream again, I'll never want to wake up. I guess it wouldn't hurt to go early."
Danny gets up and walks to the bathroom. He notices it's locked. He's about to knock when he hears her voice.
"Sorry, occupied!" He hears a shower go on.
"Kim?" Danny asks.
"Yeah, I'll be quick!"
A blush goes to his face. Looking around to see no one, Danny briefly considers going intangible to take a look. Without smiling, Danny moves closer with the blush glowing brighter. He moves back, then rolls his eyes away and comes in again.
"Don't even think about it." Jazz says in a chastising tone as she walks past him.
"I wasn't!" An alarmed Danny says.
Once he got his shower and a quick piece of toast for breakfast, Danny flies to school. It's only 7:20 AM.
"For once, I'll actually be early!" Danny quickly thought back to his dream and of Kim. "I think I can avoid thinking Kim for a while."
Out of nowhere, a kick to his back sends Danny careening to a nearby rooftop.
Huh?
Danny looks up and sees a figure coming down. Since his ghost sense didn't go off, he had to assume it wasn't a ghost. It was Kim Possible, wearing her helmet and jetpack.
"Okay, last part might be hard to do right now."
"How's it going?" Kim says as she lands in front of him.
"Kim Possible? Why did you attack me?"
"Drakken mentioned last night that someone spread the rumor of a super weapon, and I found you at the labs. So…" She crosses her arms. "I put two and two together."
"Whoa!" Danny gets up and raises his hands. "I didn't do it, I'm a superhero. I don't work with mad scientists who want world domination."
"Well, I need you to come with me." Kim walks towards him.
"Uh… can I meet with you later?" Danny starts to hover away. "I gotta be somewhere else."
Kim grabs his arm.
"I wasn't asking." She smiles. "Besides, we didn't finish last night thanks to Shego."
Danny pulls his arm out.
"If I win, I go free. Sound good?"
Kim nods.
Danny lands and gets ready, as does Kim.
Kim throws a kick that Danny ducks away from. Once he gets up, Kim makes a jab that slightly hits his right cheek. Stepping back, Danny rubs his cheek and smiles. He then throws a punch she effortlessly dodges and makes a few more jabs in his chest.
"Let me guess…" Kim says as Danny keels from the hits. "You're not much for hand-to-hand?"
"Not used to fighting people like you." Danny says as he fires a light blast at Kim's feet. As she jumps back, Danny takes advantage and flies up and heads to her. "I still have the advantage in their air!"
Suddenly, Kim goes up, her jetpack turning on. This causes him to stop midair.
"Forget I had this on?" She gestures her thumb to her jetpack. She smiles and readies her fists.
Danny flies to her and the two begins trading blows in the air. Danny does his best to avoid, but he ends up getting the most hits. Kim barely got one punch on her shoulder.
"You're good, Kim. I'll admit it. But I have one advantage up here."
"Yeah?" Kim says, blocking a punch. "What's that?"
"This!" Danny grabs the straps on her shoulders and uses his intangibility to phase it through her. Kim then finds herself falling 10 feet to the rooftop. She lands gracefully. "Nice." Danny admits. "But I can also do this." Danny lets go of one strap and fires a blue beam behind Kim.
Kim barely has time to react as ice forms in a large pillar. She's too late to move as her arms and feet are frozen in ice.
"What?!" Kim tries to break free, but nothing happens. "How?!"
"Yeah, I forgot to tell you." Danny flies down with the jetpack still in his hands. "I have ice powers." Danny sees a button on the strap. He presses it and the jetpack becomes a backpack again. "There we go." Danny walks up and takes Kim's helmet off as he puts it in the backpack. "Now don't worry. My ice isn't as dangerous as normal ice. You won't freeze to death. But since you can't fight back, I guess that means I win." Danny puts the backpack down. "I'll come free you in a while after you've decided to stop fighting me. I gotta be somewhere now." Danny flies away.
Kim groans. "Wonderful…" She says sarcastically. She once again tries to break free. "Maybe, if I can-"
An explosion occurs from the ground. This catches her attention, but not as much as a certain ghost boy coming back.
"Hey! You're still here! Well, I mean of course but…" Danny rubs the back of his head at first. "I kind of need your help with a problem."
"What kind of problem?" Kim asks with and eyebrow raised. Danny phases his arm through the ice and takes Kim's hand, making her go intangible and taker her through the ice and to the side of the building. Kim pulls her hand out and looks to where Danny was showing her, seeing something that catches attention. "Oh, that problem."
Down on the ground, explosions are happening. The cause is a large, bulky robot. It has a voice that Danny recognizes, one sounding oddly similar to Gilbety Gottfried.
"Behold, I am Technus! Master of machines! With this new body, I shall take over Amity Park… and then, the world!"
He continues his laugh as he fires beams from the screen where his face is.
Kim and Danny stare at this havoc.
"One of yours?" Kim asks.
"Yup. That's Technus, a ghost obsessed with using technology to rule the world."
"Wow, a ghost version of Drakken." Kim muses. "So, what do you have in mind?"
Danny pulls out a Fenton Thermos.
"Remember this thing?" Danny hands it to Kim. "I'll keep Technus busy, you sneak in from behind. Pretty sure he's in that thing's head."
"Got it."
Danny flies down and faces Technus.
"How's it going?"
"Ghost Boy!" Technus shouts. "I will be rid of you!" Technus tries to grab Danny as he keeps flying out of reach. "You will not stop me this time!"
"Maybe I can!" Kim shouts as she hops onto his shoulder and aims the Thermos. However, she lowers it and takes a look. "Wait, how does this work?"
Technus tries to flatten her, but Danny flies in and grabs her and carries her in a bridal fashion again.
"Why didn't you use it?!" Danny asks.
"I just asked you how does it work!" Kim responds.
"Push the green button!" Danny makes a U-turn. "Let's try this again."
Technus turns around and faces them.
"Do you think you and your new girlfriend can stop me, child!"
"Whoa!" They both shout as Danny stops in mid-air.
"I am so not his girlfriend!" Kim shouts angrily.
"We're just working together to stop you!" Danny shouts more nervously.
They both notice how Danny is carrying her. This causes Danny to descend and put Kim back on her feet and then look away from her while Kim just rubs her arm in awkward silence.
"In any case… I will destroy you both!" Technus raises his foot to flatten them.
Thinking fast, both teens jump out of the way, Danny takes advantage and flies to punch Technus. The impact causes Technus to fall on his back. He gets up, but Danny's not having that. He shoots ghost rays, but they have no effect.
"Kim! Use it now!"
Kim takes out the Thermos, but Technus thinks quick and grabs a nearby park car and throws it.
Danny looks in shock.
"KIM!"
Thinking fast, Kim does a jump into the air that effortlessly dodges the car as she backflips and lands with ease.
"Whoa…" Danny says, a smile and a blush come to his face.
"How?!" Technus shouts.
Danny takes advantage and flies into the robotic head. He phases through it and pushes Technus out. With him no longer inside, the robot falls back on its back.
"Danny?!" Kim shouts. She then sees Danny holding out a green man in a dark jacket. "I'm guessing that's the real Technos?"
"I am Technus! Master of machines and-"
"Talking too much!" Danny interrupts him. Danny then throws Technus at Kim. "Now!" Kim holds up the Thermos and activates it, it then manages to suck Technus in and trap him inside. "Now use the lid!" She then seals it. Danny flies to her and the two high-five each other. "Nice one!"
"Thanks." Kim says. She then looks at the thermos. "What now?"
"I'll take that." Danny takes the thermos from her. "So… are you still interested in finishing what happened on the roof?"
"Nah." Kim smiles. "You proved to me when you came back and asked for my help that you're not a bad guy."
"Cool." Danny smiles.
Kim takes out her Kimmunicator. "I should tell Mayor Masters what I've learned."
"What?" Danny stops her once her device turns on by putting his hand on it. "Wait!"
"What is it?" Kim is now confused.
"Don't speak to him." Danny lowers his hand. "Vlad Masters isn't who you think he is. He's actually-" He briefly looks at the device and notices what looks like the time on it. "Uh, does that say 7:30?"
"Yes?" Kim questions.
"Uh oh!" Danny starts to fly away. "I gotta go!" He says while still facing Kim. "Please don't tell Vlad Masters about this!"
"Okay, but for keeping quiet…" Kim starts to shout as he's now several feet away. "You owe me a favor!"
"Got it!"
Danny then flies off.
He makes it with 25 minutes to spare. Arriving behind the dumpsters, Danny returns to human form and looks around to make sure nobody saw him. He sighs in relief.
"Danny!" The voice of Sam called out. She and Tucker arrive, having figured he's taken a quick route to school.
"How'd it go, dude? I heard a giant robot was attacking the town." Tucker asks.
"You wouldn't believe what happened this morning, you guys." Danny says with a smile.
The three then walk away, Danny ready to tell them what happened this morning and last night.
As they walk away, Kim lands far from them. She's looking at them.
The dream sequence was something I had to add. Call it an impulse.
But for now, Kim is convinced Danny Phantom is not the bad guy. But will this work in Danny's favor?
At this point, you're probably wondering why isn't Kim talking with Ron and Wade? That's because I can't really find something for them to do at the moment. For now she's just talking with them when she's not around over her Kimmunicator.
But next chapter is when Danny decides to make a move on Kim... and it yields some big results.
