The Fall Formal
It was mid-October. It was time.
Danny told his sister ahead of time and she agreed to cover for him while he was out of 10 if a ghost attacked.
He got changed and flew as fast as he could. He even stopped to buy a bouquet of flowers at the same shop he went to during his time on blind dates.
He was greeted happily and got a discount due to all the flowers he bought that month when he explained that tonight was the night he'd most likely start a genuine relationship with Kim.
He flew as fast as he could, though he used intangibility so that the flowers wouldn't be affected by the winds.
He finally made it. He was outside the Possible house with an hour to spare.
He approached the door and rung the bell.
Mrs. Dr. Possible answered.
"Danny! Come on in!"
He stepped inside.
"Kim! Your date is here!" She said.
"Coming!"
Danny looked up the stairs.
There she was. Stepping down in a black dress to match his black tuxedo. She also had long gloves the reached under her shoulders.
She smiled.
He smiled back.
"Ready?" Danny asked.
"Of course." Kim replied.
A ride thanks to Mr. Dr. Possible helped them arrive at Middleton's gymnasium, where the dance was.
The two make it inside, where there are lights and people dancing on the floor already.
They noticed two other people have arrived. Ron and Tara.
Kim waved at them. "Hey you two."
"KP!" Ron said, with Tara holding his arm. "How are you guys?"
"Just got here." Danny said.
"Whoa!" Tara said, looking around. "This place is pretty… badical!"
"Definitely badical!" Ron responded.
Danny looked at Kim, confused.
"Badical?"
Kim shrugged.
"Let's get some punch."
The two walk to the table, where the punch bowl was. As Danny got two cups for them, a voice neither of them wanted to hear spoke up.
"Kim! I see you brought a pity date."
Both of them roll their eyes before turning around to see someone they didn't want to see.
"Bonnie." They both said.
Danny saw her wearing a strapless purple dress. Next to her is a jock who looked taller than Dash.
"Oh, I forgot." Bonnie said in her still mocking tone. "Donny, thi-"
"It's Danny." He pointed out.
"Whatever." She said. "This is Brick Flagg, star quarterback, who cheerleaders usually go out with." She said that in a way to mock the boy.
Danny looked a bit unsure what to say, but decided to at least try and be nice.
"Hi." He waved.
"How's it going?" Brick said in a tone that sounded nothing like what Dash would say. "You two look great together."
Danny smiled in relief. This guy was nothing like Dash.
Bonnie elbowed Brick. "Don't greet him!" She said, annoyed. She then walked away, pulling Brick with her.
"Whoa… I'm jealous of your school now." Danny said.
"Really?" Kim asked.
"Yeah, the quarterback isn't a jerk, my date is a cheerleader… the only thing it needs is to ditch Bonnie."
Kim chuckled. "Yeah…"
At that same time, the Middleton Space Center had an uninvited guest.
The guard did his rounds when suddenly a figure knocked him out with a chop to the neck. This figure looked around until he saw the room he was looking for. The room being the main control center for the center.
There, Mr. Dr. Possible was on the phone with his wife.
"Well, Danny may be a nice boy, but he better bring Kim home by 10." He hears his wife say something. "Okay, if a mission happens, that'd be fine. Otherwise, home by 10." His phone started going out. "Honey?" Suddenly, the screen turned green, thanks to the figure who came in.
He hung up as he and the other scientists stood back as the figure flies into the computer and laughs with his face on screen.
"I AM TECHNUS! GHOSTLY MASTER OF ALL TECHNOLOGY! WITH THE TECHNOLOGY OF THIS LAB, MILES AWAY FROM AMITY PARK AND THAT ANNOYING PHANTOM, I WILL RULE THE WORLD!" He stopped smiling and looked concerned. "Nobody heard that, right?"
"We just did…" Dr. Possible said. "You shouted it to everyone in this room."
"NO MATTER!" Technus resumed. "NOW… WHERE IS THAT ROCKET?"
James Possible then went to his computer and started typing something.
At Middleton High, Ron and Tara spent the night talking with each other. Kim and Danny saw this and smiled.
"Glad you told him?" Danny asked.
"Yeah, it would've taken him forever to notice." She responded.
Danny looked out at the dancers and an idea sunk in.
"Wanna dance?"
Kim smiled and nodded.
Danny got up and gave her his hand.
Before she could take it, her Kimmunicator beeped in her purse.
She looked at it, wondering if she should answer, though Danny smiled and nodded.
She answered.
"Go Wade!"
"Kim, we have a problem. Your dad just left a message on the site. Something is attacking the space center."
"Who? Drakken? The Seniors?"
"Get this… a ghost calling himself… Technus."
Danny heard this, and gasped.
"What's a ghost doing out here?" Kim asked.
"Probably got tired of Danny Phantom, and heard Middleton Space Center was a good target." Wade suggested. "Either way, he needs help!"
"I'm on it!" Kim said before hanging up. She looked to Ron, but seeing Danny made her feel guilty. "I don't suppose-"
"Go." He said with a smile. "I'll save my dance for you."
Kim smiled before hugging him.
She ran to Ron. "Ron, my dad needs our help."
Ron looked like he was ready, but looked to Tara.
"Uh…"
"It's cool." Tara said. "Go save some lives."
"Boo-yah!" Ron went before he and Kim ran off.
Once they left, Tara walked to Danny.
"Don't suppose you wanna talk or something while they wait?"
"Actually, Tara." Danny said. "I might need to call my folks. I promised I'd give them a call every few minutes."
Tara smiled. "That's cool."
Once Danny walked away, Tara sighed.
"Guess I'll wait here…"
Once he gets out, he sees no one around. Before he could shout his battle cry, he hears a voice.
"Donny!"
Danny turned around and saw Bonnie, who had a smug smile on her face and her arms crossed.
"It's Danny, Bonnie."
"Whatever… where's your date?" She said. "Oh… did she ditch you?"
Danny decided to give this unappealing girl a taste of her own medicine.
"Why? You jealous?" A look of surprise hit her face. "Secretly in love with me?" He suggested.
"Ew! No!" She snapped. "I can see why you'd want me, but NO!"
Danny glared at her.
"I don't "want" you, Bonnie. You're hot, but also rude." He said. "Kim isn't just attractive, she's also a nicer person than you."
Bonnie huffed before a smile hit her face.
"Well, if she's so nice, why'd she leave?"
"She's got better thing to do than be a stereotype, Bonnie. Don't you have a whole school to annoy right now?"
Bonnie just turns back and walks away.
Once she's gone, Danny finally has his privacy.
"I'm going ghost!"
A van arrives in front of the Space Center. Kim and Ron exit in their mission gear.
"Thanks for the lift, Mr. Freeman!"
"The least I can do over you stopped that fire!"
Once Kim and Ron's ride left, Kim checked her watch.
"Okay, we got 2 hours before the dance is over. Let's do this."
They try to open the door, but it's locked. They try to use the suction cups for scaling, but a voice calls out to them.
"Hey, Ms. Possible."
The two and Rufus look up and see a familiar figure Kim knows.
"Danny Phantom?"
"Phantom?!" Ron asks. "A GHOST!"
Rufus screams and goes back into his pocket.
Ron runs away screaming.
"Ron! Phantom here's a superhero!"
Ron stops running and looks back.
"Really?" He sounded interested. "A ghost superhero?!" Ron walks back. "That changes everything."
"Okay…" Danny said, ignoring what just happened. "I'm guessing you were called because of Technus. I happen to know him and can handle him while you save the people inside."
"How'd you know we needed help?" Kim asked.
"I… followed him." He said. "Then I saw you and figured you would need help."
"Well…" Kim rubbed her chin. "We've never fought a ghostly supervillain before and this is your department. What do we do?"
"I can fight him while you get everyone out." Danny said.
"We could climb up." Kim said.
"That might take too long." Danny pointed out.
"But, how else do we get in?" Ron said. "The place is on lockdown to keep people out."
Danny smiled. "Leave that to me."
He takes both of their hands and uses his intangibility to go through the wall.
"Whoa!" Ron shouted as the intangibility wore off. "That felt cold!"
Rufus shivered.
"You get used to it." Danny said.
"Let's save the day!" Kim said.
The teens head to the main control room, where they go through the doors and see the scientists trying to hack the computer, but failing. Kim saw her father.
"Dad?!" Kim shouted.
"Kim! Ron!" He saw Danny Phantom. "Some… floating kid?"
"Long story!" Kim shouted. "What's going on?"
"Why not let Technus tell us?" Danny said before shouting at the screen. "Hey! Technus! What's your master plan?"
"EASY!" His face appears onscreen, frightening Ron and Rufus. "I'M UPLOADING MYSELF INTO A ROCKET WITH A NEW SATELLITE! ONCE I ENTER, I CAN USE IT TO HACK MY WAY INTO EVERY GOVERNMENT COMPUTER ON EARTH! SOON, ALL OF THE SECRETS OF THE GOVERNMENT, INCLUDING THE DEFENSE SYSTEMS, WILL BE MINE!" He lowers his voice. "I did it again, didn't I?"
"Yeah… you did." Danny pointed out.
"Wow…" Kim was surprised. "A ghost version of Drakken."
"I got him!" Danny shouted as he flew into the screen with intangibility.
Everyone stared before out comes Danny Phantom wrestling Technus into the ground.
"Come on!" Kim shouted as she opened the door and instructed everyone to get out.
Danny and Technus grapple before the villain knocks him back and fires a beam at Kim.
Kim reacts in time, dodging it in time.
"Don't you dare!" Danny shouted, not happy to see his soon-to-be girlfriend in harm's way.
"Temper, child! Emotions are your greatest weakness!" Technus said as he grabbed Danny's arm and sent a jolt of electricity through him.
Technus threw Danny into the floor before flying back into the computer.
Danny got up.
"Where's the rocket?!" Danny asked. He hears a sound of a launch. "Never mind!"
Danny shouted before getting up.
"I'll come with you." Kim said.
"No." Danny said. He didn't want Kim to handle something she's not used to. "I can handle it. You need to make sure your dad and everyone safe."
"I can't let you do it alone!" Kim said. "When I do a mission, I can't overlook anything!"
Danny shrugged.
This is what I get for my match being so… determined. Then again, that's what drew me to her.
"Okay." Danny took Kim's hand. "Let's go."
Using his intangibility and flight, the two went through the ceiling and flew to the rocket.
"Get us inside. I can use the Kimmunicator to hack in and maybe get the ghost out!" Kim shouted.
"On it!" Danny smiled. "Let's dance!"
Kim looked at him odd in that moment, though he couldn't see it.
Dance? Why does it sound weird for him to say that?
She doesn't have time to think about it any further, as they arrive at the rocket.
Danny phases them through, allowing Kim to reach the main computer of the satellite, plugging the Kimmunicator in.
"Wade! You're linked into a satellite with an evil ghost inside it."
"Ghost?" Wade asks.
Danny Phantom comes in from behind.
"Just think of him as a virus or a hacker, can you get rid of him?"
"Whoa! Danny Phantom!" Wade started geeking out. "I have all of your unofficial comics! I even have the official webcast on you! Can you-"
"FOCUS!" Danny and Kim shout.
"Okay! Okay! Fanboy later!" He starts typing. "Got it!"
"Wait, that fast?" Danny asked.
"NO!" Technus shouted as the electricity started coming from the satellite. "I'm locked out?! HOW?!"
"Never underestimate the boy genius!" Wade gloated.
Technus comes out of the machine.
"This cannot be!" He shouted.
"Yes it can!" Danny and Kim shouted.
Kim ran and jump kicked Technus into the wall of the rocket.
Danny took advantage and pulled out the Thermos.
"NO!" Technus shouted as he's being sucked in. "NOOOO!"
Danny seals the Thermos.
Both teens high-five.
Danny arrives to the ground, carrying Kim in bridal fashion.
"Here you go, Kim." He sets her on her feet.
"Thanks." She says.
"We should get back." He says. Kim gives him an odd look and Danny realizes what he said. "To our lives! Ha! Yeah, what we do when we're not… fighting… bad guys."
He gives a smile before flying off.
Kim looks at him as he flies off, confused by his words.
She remembers something.
"The dance!"
Kim and Ron return to Middleton's Fall Formal.
They arrive at the gym… to find it empty.
Party fliers on the floor, punch bowl empty, and two particular people sitting at the bleechers.
Tara got up and walked to them.
"What happened?!" Kim asked. "I thought this ended around 10?"
"It was… but then Bonnie got upset that apparently you and Danny were going to be named fall formal king and queen because you were voted the cutest couple."
"What?!" Kim shouted.
"Nobody could find either of you and Bonnie was too full of herself to accept a pity award, so she set off the fire alarm and shouted the party over. Mr. Barkin gave her detention, so that's something. Everyone else was too upset to keep going." She looked at Ron.
"Okay…" Ron said, looking a bit concerned. "Here it comes." He closes his eyes, ready for something bad to happen.
Tara just sigh and smiles.
"This is still not the worst date I've ever had." She puts a hand on his shoulder. "I'll let you walk me home, at least."
Ron opened his eyes.
"Really?"
"Yeah, apparently, you and Kim did stop a rocket with some supervillain, or whatever the news said."
"Bomb-diggity!" Ron said as he took Tara's arm and walked off.
Kim looked to Danny, still sitting there.
Though she put her dress back on, she felt disappointed with herself. All of this for nothing thanks to some bad guy.
Not even one of her's.
She walked to Danny, her face down.
"I'm sorry… I really wanted this night to be perfect." She said. "I was looking forward to it."
"Who said it had to be done?"
Kim looked up, seeing Danny smile.
"Really?" She asked.
"I said I'd saved a dance for you, didn't I?"
He got up and gave her his hand.
Kim smiled and took it.
They walked to the middle.
"How are we gonna dance with no music?"
"Got that covered!"
Danny pulled out his phone and played a song. He made sure it was a slow song as he set it near them.
Danny took her hand and placed his other one around her.
Kim did the same.
They started their dance.
"So, how was the mission?" Danny asked.
"Went well, I saw Danny Phantom… again."
"Really? He's out here?" Danny chuckled. "I'm starting to think he has a crush on you."
Kim smiled.
"Well, there's already a Danny in my life… and I want him to be my boyfriend starting now."
"Really? Tell me, is this Danny ruggedly handsome?" He jokingly asked.
Kim laughed. "Well, ruggedly handsome is an overstatement, but he does have a cute smile. He's also got a great sense of humor and a good heart. He's patient, understanding, and likes hanging out with me. He's someone I trust on a mission."
Danny mentally wanted to hit himself. She said she trusted him.
Should I tell her?
Before he could say anything, Kim hugged him.
This caused him to remain quiet as he hugged her back.
He doesn't want to ruin this.
She makes him happy and he clearly makes her happy.
They remained that way during the son before a livelier on played.
They stared and had no idea what to do at first before they smile and started dancing free style.
Kim laughed at the dorky but fun way Danny danced while she used her gymnastics. Both of them tried dancing together and found, surprisingly, they worked well together.
Kim slid to Danny and he caught her, dipping her in the process
Both smiled at each other and kissed.
This kiss was different, because as Danny lifted her up, he accidentally deepened it.
This surprised them at first, but they found it amazing. So they kept doing it.
They parted and smiled.
Danny walked Kim back home. It was only 10 minutes before 10, as promised.
"So, where were you when they called you as king?"
Danny thought fast. "I wasn't interested in going up without you. Plus, no way would I stand up there with Bonnie, so I hid in the bathroom."
Kim nodded, she seemed to believe that.
"You sure you don't need a ride back?" Kim asked. "It doesn't seem safe for you to be out this late."
"Says the girl who fights a woman with glowy hurty hands." He says.
"Point taken." She says.
They look at each other as Kim is about to reach her house.
They kiss.
"So… couple?" Danny asked.
"Couple." Kim replied with a smile.
They kiss again.
On his way back after taking her home, Danny was the happiest he's ever been.
She's my girlfriend! Kim Possible, the coolest girl I've ever known, is my girlfriend!
But one thought lingered, one that was less happy.
And she has no idea… I'm Danny Phantom. I didn't have it in me to say it… I'm afraid to tell her.
Meanwhile, as she readies for bed, Kim Possible is thinking one thing that makes her happy.
He's my boyfriend! Danny Fenton, the nicest, most fun and caring boy in the world if my boyfriend!
She smiles to herself.
This is the best day of my life.
They're a couple now.
And Danny still didn't have the courage to say anything about his ghost powers.
Next time is when I mess with the events of Phantom Planet... but then again, who cares for that stupid thing.
Wow... I really hate that finale, don't I?
But here's something I don't hate, the idea of Danny Fenton and Kim Possible being a couple... if they existed in the same universe that is.
It finally happened, so now let's see if I can make the couple work before she finds out.
Also, again, sticking with what's established in TMDDF and its alternate ending with Kim.
Next time!
