At this point, Danny's been 16 for about a month. Dash and his friends are running around openly mocking the freshman, because Fenton hasn't shown up yet. And everyone else is just trying to find their new classes. Anyhow, everyone's basically stuffed in the hallways, and all of a sudden you can just kind of see this one head popping out of the top of the crowd, And NOBODY KNOWS WHO IT IS. Because there was certainly nobody that tall here last year, so the crowd kind of tries to disperse to figure out who it is.
So some kids go into open doorways or just try to get to the end of the hallway, and in his 6'5" glory, is Danny Fenton. And everyone just goes ballistic. The other jocks go for a mad dash to get Dash, because Fenton was at LEAST 6 inches shorter at the end of the last school year. Like they heard of growth spurts but this was just ridiculous. Tucker's at least like 9 inches shorter than him, And Sam is over a foot shorter, and the top of her ponytail barely even makes it to Danny's armpit.
OK so there's just rumors flying around, and Mr. Lancer comes out of his classroom to see what's happening in the hallway, and he just sees Fenton towering over the freshman. And he walks over to him, AND LANCER IS 2 INCHES SHORTER THAN DANNY. THIS GUY USED TO TOWER OVER ALL STUDENTS; AND NOW SCRAWNY WIMPY DANNY FENTON IS TALLER THAN HIM.
So this is when Dash and Kwan show up, and he just sees Danny towering over Lancer, and he just runs over to Danny and spins him around so that they're back to back. And he asks Kwan the most defining question of the whole first day of school; "WHOS TALLER?"
And Kwan doesn't even have to look, "Fenton's beating you by a whole inch, and I even counted your hair."
AND THE JUNIOR YEAR GOES BALLISTIC. Dash just turns around and Stares at Danny slack jawed while Danny looks at him awkwardly. Paulina's just screaming in the back, "HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN OVER SUMMER BREAK?!" The nerds are just looking at them in awe because somebody finally beat Dash in SOMETHING besides a Social studies test. (Paulina and Dash actually have to study on their study dates because her dad is watching and he's scary) Even Wes is surprised, and he is almost positive that ghosts had something to do with it, but everyone knew that Danny was going to be tall anyway sue to his dad, but they always assumed he would stay at his mother's height like Jazz did, so Wes couldn't do shit. And poor little principal Ishiyama is over 2 feet shorter than Danny.
So all the freshman are terrified because all they know is that some kid got taller than some other tall kid and now 1/4 of the school is going ballistic. So they just run and hide in the classrooms that they know the locations of and wait this out.
But everyone's still shouting their asses off, so Sam just climbs up Danny's backpack and plops down on Danny's shoulders and pulls out a whistle (Her head is literally brushing the ceiling) So all of a sudden everyone's eardrums (especially Danny who has enhanced hearing) are filled with a hideous screeching sound. Of course there's a few giggles because Sam literally just climbed up her pillar of a boyfriend, but otherwise everyone shuts the hell up. And Sam's just screeching at them all, "DANNYS A SKYSCRAPER, FUCKING GET OVER IT! HELL I DONT EVEN KNOW IF HE'LL EVER STOP GROWING SO JUST GET USED TO IT!" And she just grabs Danny's head and swings herself off his shoulders (poor Danny) and she just grabs his and Tucker's hands and drags them to class.
Everyone is just in the hallway in silence. Like they just don't know what to do anymore, but then somebody just points out the dumbest thing they could think of, "How many Fenton's does Sam have to climb to screw in a lightbulb?" And everyone just starts laughing as hard as you guys. And it doesn't help that Danny doesn't stop growing till he hits 6'6". So anyhow freshman Start using him as a landmark to find out if they're going in the right direction. Like I know tall kid's going to the second floor stairs so obviously I'm going the wrong way. Like there's maybe 4 guys who are as tall as him, and then one Australian transfer student that's taller, but those guys are all seniors.
Of course Danny goes to see Clockwork and decides to ask him if he's going to get any taller than he is now, because if he gets any taller he might have to Start ducking in doorways, and he fucking goes into his lair, and his finally the Same height as Clockwork. Danny's just screaming hallelujah. The people in far frozen can hear his screeches of joy. Oh course he's no Pandora, but that lady's scary and he would probably die before he could get that tall.
So he heads to Vlad's portal, because he just has to know. He just grabs the nearest ghost and flies into Vlad's portal. (The ghost was of course box ghost because he is the best) He just throws boxy to the ground and grabs Vlad from his desk and picks him up and spins him so they're back to back. "BOXY WHOS TALLER I NEED TO KNOW!"
"Daniel what are you doing?"
"Uh ummm, hang on let me get closer" And box ghost just flies up to Danny and Vlad and gets right by their hairlines, And he just Stares intently for a moment before pushing down both of their hair, And box ghost just looks and Stares for a good moment. "Plasmius is taller by a millimeter."
AND DANNY JUST LOSES IT. HES SCREAMING AT THE GODS FOR ENDING HIS CURRENT GROWTH SPURT. Danny's just pounding his fists on the ground and Vlad's just staring at him wondering what's going on, Like one minute he was doing his paperwork and the next box ghost was petting him. Danny doesn't even say anything to Vlad, he just kind of angrily glares, points at him, flips him off, and then flies back through the portal. And box ghost is just floating there by a much frazzled Vlad who's just staring at the spot that Danny once was.
And he like finally realizes what Danny was doing, "Oh god he's catching up to me, MADDIE! (The hologram not the cat) AM I SHRINKING OR IS DANNY JUST GROWING TOO FAST?!" And the Maddie hologram just shows up in the room and Starts typing on her holo-computer, making no sounds whatsoever.
And she just looks at Vlad, then looks at the data, then looks at Danny's data from the beginning of the summer, than looks at the security footage, and she just stares for a moment, "Both." And the only sounds that could be heard in either the human or the ghost world was the screams of anguished halfas.
And inside Clockworks palace, inside a busted up thermos, is a bloody demon ghost that happens to know one thing. And his smiling like the bloody demon he is, and you want to know why? Because he was taller than both of them.
El fin!
