Swap Meet Part 1
It was a beautiful evening, and there was a special event in the school's courtyard. Thanks to the Eco club, the courtyard was filled with people who were checking out the "Save the Frogs Fun Fair." The courtyard had frog related stands. Some with games, some with food, and some with information on frogs.
There was even one member who was dressed in a frog costume. Students from different grades were walking around, conversing, and eating free food. The one in charge of the event, Sam, was looking around with a smile on her face. Everything was going perfect. People were distracted by the food, and games, and it was soon time for her to give her big speech.
She looked around and sighed. If only Danny would show up.
"He said he'd be here. Don't tell me he forgot." Torro peeked out of Sam's hoodie and smiled.
"Don't worry Sam, I'm sure he'll be here any minute. He probably had something important to do. You of all people should know how that feels."
"Yeah, but usually my 'important thing' has to do with saving Paris, not getting to a higher level in DOOM."
"DOOM?" Torro quickly ducked into Sam's pocket right before she turned around to see Marinette and Aliya.
"Uh, Marinette, Aliya?" Marinette gave Sam a funny look.
"Uh Sam, who are you talking to?"
"Oh, uh, j-just myself. I'm a little nervous that's all. This is the first time I ever hosted, well anything before." They smiled.
"Well it's going great. Everyone looks happy, even if we are surrounded by… frogs." Aliya said, looking at the frogs with a bit of disgust.
"And best of all," Marinette turned over to where Adrien and Nino were. "Adrien's here!"
"Right, because that's why I asked everyone to come here, for Adrien." Marinette noticed what Sam said and scratched the back of her head.
"Sorry, I know you put a lot of work on this."
"Yeah, I've never you put so much effort on anything."
"Well you guys already know how I feel about the environment. Now that I'm president of the Eco club, I feel like I can do more. You know, really make a difference."
"Well you started off with a bang, just like we knew you would." Marinette said cheerfully before hugging her. Sam got flustered. "Whoa, uh, thanks Marinette." Aliya soon after got in the hug.
"Oh sure, the more the merrier guys. You know how much I love hugs." Sam said sarcastically. They both got off and snickered, while Sam just smirked and shook her head. She looked at the crowd of people, walking around and enjoying the small festival. Still no Danny. 'Danny, I'm so gonna kill you.'

Phantom roundhouse kicked a blue ghost wearing overalls and a beanie into the wall of the school's basement. The ghost rubbed his head in pain.
"The Boxghost will not be taken down so easily by your kicks, or your wall!" Phantom sighed and face palmed.
"I seriously don't have time for this!" The Boxghost raised his now glowing hands, commanding the boxes around him to rise. He then sent them towards Phantom, who dodged two of them, but the last one hit him in the stomach. The pain was less serious and more like a nuisance. Danny shot an ecto beam at him, hitting him in the stomach.
He then flew towards Boxghost and threw a punch, aimed for the face. Boxghost dodged the attack and punched Phantom in the face, sending back flipping back.
'His punch is stronger than his actual abilities.' Phantom caught himself and immediately launched back towards the ghost. They wrestled in the air for a few seconds before Phantom backed up and slammed both feet into the ghost's face, pushing him into the ground. Boxghost growled, as his hands glowed again.

"Attention everyone. If everyone can come to the stage, our president, Sam Manson, will like to say a few words." A member of the club announced. Sam got on stage as everyone cheered. She looked around, and still couldn't find Danny. She sighed. 'Well, I can't wait anymore.' She thought sadly. "Good evening fellow students. There are two reasons we're gathered here today. One for the food,"
Everyone laughed, making Sam smile.
"and the other reason, is too learn about one of the biggest injustices schools have ever committed. The dissection of frogs!" A banner with a frog's face with xs instead of eyes came down.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Phantom punched Boxghost in the face before ax kicking him into some boxes.
"C'mon Boxghost, you seem like a nice box fetish ghost. Whaddya say you let me suck you into my thermos. It's like a box, but smaller… and cylinder."
"The Boxghost will never be imprisoned, especially in something that's cylinder!" boxes started to move around Phantom before launching at him, pushing him back. Phantom saw that he was heading for the ceiling and phased through it, but he didn't stop there. He phased through the wall and landed behind the curtain of the stage Sam was talking on.
"The Eco club has a way to save the frogs, while still teaching students about their anatomy." She signaled for the curtains to open, and when it did, the crowd widened their eyes. On the stage with Sam was a giant frog plushy. Here we have the Frogception, a frog plushy that students can open up and find all of the bits and pieces a regular frog has. Its reusable and no frogs can get hurt from using them. Of course the one the classes use are gonna be a lot smaller."
Someone raised their hand.
"How are you gonna get enough for a whole class?"
"The Eco club will use money from special events like these to pay for the dissection plushy, and we should have them by next semester." Everyone clapped at the news. "Now, allow to show you what you'll be looking at when you start dissecting." Sam unzipped the frog's stomach and Danny came fumbling out, along with some organs.
Everyone looked at the scene in surprise for a few seconds before laughing. Danny wobbly got up and rubbed his head.
"Ugh, what?" He noticed he was holding an organ, and freaked out, causing him to fall back on the floor, causing everyone in the crowd to laugh again. Sam stared at the sudden event in shock before groaning and puting her face in her hands, defeated.

Next day
"How many times do I have to say sorry?" Danny asked, outside of the school. He asked her if he could talk to her when everyone else went in, and she reluctantly agreed.
"Danny, you not only embarrassed yourself, but you also embarrassed me! You turned my serious speech into a comedy. I'll be lucky if I get anymore donations for those plushies." She looked down on the ground, and Danny sighed and put a hand on her shoulder.
"I know they will." She looked at the hand, and she didn't know whether to growl or blush, so instead she just shrugged him off.
"Can you at least tell me why you were in there?" Danny widened his eyes.
"Uh, well I, um, wanted to surprise you before the speech. Kinda give you a little jump scare, you know, as a joke." She looked at him seriously.
"You decided to use the most important night of my life to play a prank on me?" Danny scratched the back of his head.
"Well, when you say it like that…" Sam started walking inside.
"Ah, Sam wait!" Danny said, chasing after her.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Sam and Danny walked in, with Sam looking angry, and Danny looking defeated. Aiden got Danny's attention as he was walking by.
"Danny, everything all right. After last night…" Danny just shook his head and walked over to his seat, which was funny enough, next to Sam's. They both sat down silently and took their things out. After a few minutes, Ms. Butler came into the room.
"Good morning students, before we begin I would like to give you a message from Ms. Mendeleiev, since she unfortunately couldn't be here do to, what we hope is a twenty four hour bug." Everyone cheered. "Ahem." The teacher said, trying to get their attention. "So she asked me to give you this message. Since she is unable to be here, the sample field trip to the arena is canceled until tomorrow.
Today you should choose your partner so you all can get straight to work when you get to the field. This is something you all can do after the lesson of course. So, now that that's out of the way, let's begin the lesson." Ms. Butler started talking, and while she was, Danny couldn't help but look at Sam.
'Ugh, I feel bad. She was working on that frog party for three weeks, and I turned it into a joke. Sigh, of course.' Danny thought about it, before he came up with an idea. 'If I'm her partner, I can help her with the project, and try and get her to not think of me as a complete jerk.'

Mr. Damocles was watching a custodian hang a large rectangular mirror, which had a gold border around it with fancy symbols, on a wall in the locker room. Damocles smiled.
"Well done James. I always knew the locker room needed a little, class put in it." The custodian finished with the mirror and walked next to the principle.
"To be honest sir, that mirror looks pretty creepy. Just something about it that screams, spiritual." The custodian said, while looking at the mirror blankly. Damocles gave the custodian a look.
"James don't be ridicules, it's a mirror."
"Right sir." James said, snapping out of it. They both left the room, and when they were gone, the mirror glowed an eerie green color.

Marinette was staring at Adrien's back, while contemplating an idea of hers. She bit her lip and looked at her best friend. She turned her notebook to a new piece of paper and wrote something down. When she was done, she ripped it out and gave it to Aliya. She raised an eyebrow and took it.
"I'm thinking of asking Adrien to be my partner. I think it'd be a good chance for him to get to know me better. What do you think?" Aliya smiled before writing something back. She gave Marinette the piece of paper.
"I think that's a great idea! I can get Nino to be my partner, so you can go for Adrien. Good luck, I'm so proud of you girl!" Marinette smiled.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the bell rang everyone got their things and got ready to go. Aliya gave Marinette a thumbs up before going over to Nino while he was talking to Adrien.
"So bro, you wanna…"
"Nino!" Aliya grabbed him by the arm.
"I need to ask you something, come with me." She pulled a confused Nino a way, and leaving a confused Adrien by himself. He shrugged and walked towards the door. Marinette quickly walked towards Adrien, stopping him at the door. He took a step back.
"Oh, hey Marinette." Marinette blushed.
"Uh, h-hi Adrien." They both stared at each other for a few seconds.
"Well, I should, probably get to my next class."
"Uh, right. B-by." She then remembered about the whole partner thing. "Uh, wait, Adrien." Adrien stopped and turned around.
"Yeah?"
"Well, I was wondering, since w-we have this partner thing, and I was wondering…" Chloe was looking at the scene with a glare. "If you wanted to be my partner… for the project of course, ,butimeanwe'reony…" Chloe bumped Marinette out of the way and put on a sweet face.
"Hey Adrien. Sooo, it looks like you don't have a partner, and I don't have a partner," Sabrina gave a confused face. "so, why don't both of us hook up?"
Danny was putting his things away with Sam doing the same thing next to him. Danny turned to Sam.
"Hey Sam." Sam turned to Danny.
"Yeah?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to…"
"Hold that thought." She said before walking towards Adrien and Chloe. "Hey Chloe, isn't there a fairy you should be killing?" Sam said, while pushing her out of the room. Before she left thou, she pushed Marinette back in front of Adrien. Adrien watched the scene with one eyebrow up. Marinette turned to Adrien and smiled again.
"So, uh, w-what do you said." It took a few seconds for Adrien to remember what they were talking about, but when he did, he let out a small laugh.
"Heh, sounds fun, but I think Nino wanted to partner up."
"Oh, its fine. Aliya said she wanted to be his partner.
"Well then, I guess its fine. We can meet up later today." He smiled and put his hand on her shoulder before walking off. Marinette sighed and looked like she was gonna melt, while Danny slouched in his chair because of his missed chance.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Chloe kicked the locker room door open and walked over to her locker, basically fuming. Sabrina hurried in after her and unlocked her locker door for her.
"I can't believe Sam. One minute I was wooing Adrien with perfect charm, then out of nowhere Sam comes and pulls me outside. Now, Marinette's his partner."
"Yeah about that." Sabrina said. "Weren't we going to be partners?" Chloe sighed.
"Look Sabrina, you're my friend, and I'll love to be your partner, but if an opportunity comes, where I can have a cute boy as my partner instead of you, I will choose that cute boy. You understand right?" Sabrina raised an eyebrow.
"I think so."
"Good, just remember, you will always be my number two." Sabrina seemed to like that, because she gave Chloe a huge smile.
"Thanks Chloe." Danny walked into the locker room, and went over to his locker which was on the other side of the room. He didn't notice Chloe and Sabrina, and they didn't notice him. Chloe finished getting her things out of her locker, and Sabrina quickly closed her "friend's" locker door. She then noticed a locker with something sticking out of it.
"Hey isn't that Sam's locker?" Sabrina asked. Danny, hearing that from his locker raised an eyebrow. He tiptoed over to the other side and peaked from the other side of a row of lockers. Chloe, thanks to the item stuck in between the locker door and the locker, opened the door without the need for a combination.
When she did, a poster came out and landed on the floor. Chloe picked it up and smiled. The poster was something worked hard on. It had a picture of a smiling, well drawn frog, curtesy of Nathan, and a sign saying. "Help Save These Little Guys" curtesy of Sam. She wanted to make copies after school and hang it up around the school. Chloe had an idea.
"Sabrina, hurry up and get me a permanent marker. If Sam wants to ruin my chances with Adrien, I'll just ruin her chances with her disgusting frog friends." Sabrina nodded with a smile and ran to get the marker. Danny frowned.
'Leave it to Chloe to ruin a charity out of some dude.' Danny thought about it and smiled. 'Well if she's gonna have her fun, then I guess I'll do a little prank too.' He went Phantom and phased through the wall. He quickly came back holding two rats. He quickly and gently put each on one shoulder. Chloe looked at both of her shoulders in horror before screaming.
"AHHHHHH!" She swatted both of them and ran for the door. "Ew,ew,ew,ew,ew!" She opened the door right before Sabrina, who was on the other side of the door, could.
"Oh, Chloe, I got the marker."
"Forget the marker! Protect me!" And with that, she ran to her next class, which she was late for. Phantom turned visible and started laughing uncontrollably. He even floated in the air and rolled around laughing, while holding his side. With every laugh however the giant mirror glowed brighter.
"Bully,bully,bully…" It said, getting louder as it grew brighter. Phantom started noticing the mirror and turned around. He stopped laughing and went back a little.
"What the…" Soon the mirror was yelling bully and its light was blinding. The light started to move to the center of the mirror, before it started to turn green and form a portal in the middle of the mirror. Phantom got read for whatever fight was coming, but he wasn't ready for a ghost to come shooting out and tackling him to the ground.
Phantom landed on his back, and the ghost, his side. Phantom slowly got up and held his head.
"Alright, tell me that was a prank induced dream." He looked at the mirror, and saw that it looked normal. "Hold on, was it a prank induced dream?"
"Nope." Phantom turned and saw a nerdy looking see through ghost, glaring right at him. "But you're about to wish it was buster brown." Phantom widened his eyes.
"A ghost? How did you come through that mirror, who are you?!" He said, getting up.
"The names Sidney Poindexter. And how I got here, I don't really know. What I do know is that you were hurting that poor girl with those rats. Now where do you come off, doing something like that to a poor defenseless female?" Phantom raised an eyebrow.
"Poor and defenseless… You mean Chloe?" Phantom couldn't help but laugh. Those two words are the exact opposite of Chloe. Poindexter, was not amused.
"Oh so you think bullying is a funny thing huh?" "
Wh-what? No!" Phantom said midlaughter "It-it's just you got it all wrong. See Chloe…"
"I don't wanna hear it lyin Ted."
"Who's Ted?"
"I saw all the proof I need. Someone outta teach you a lesson or two bully. Lucky for you, I'm an excellent professor. So grab your books." He raised his hands and the lockers started rumbling. "Cause, it's gonna be a long class." He thrusted his hand towards Phantom, and books launched out of their lockers and went for the ghost boy.
Phantom dodged a few successfully, but he soon couldn't keep up, and got pelted by books from classes he didn't even like! He was soon in a pile of books, but with the help of an energy field, he pushed the books off of him.
"Alright Poindexter, don't say I didn't try talking." Phantom fired two ectobeams at Poindexter, who quickly phased through some lockers to get away. Phantom frowned and followed him to another part of the room. When he finally caught up to him, he threw a punch, which connected to Poindexter's face.
Poindexter hit the wall, and tried to get up, but was too disoriented. Phantom landed and took out his thermos.
"You know, I never really noticed how much I needed this win. I guess everything worked out after all." Phantom took out his thermos and pointed it at Poindexter. By then, the see through ghost, could see straight and saw what Phantom was pointing at him. He growled and his eyes started to glow.
"Thanks for the offer, but my mom packed me my own lunch." He fired an ecto eyebeam, hitting Phantom in the chest, and sending him flying. He phased through the wall, ended up in the courtyard, and phased through the floor, ending up in the boiler room. He landed on his back, and opened his eyes.
"Oh great, I'm back here again." He groaned. He rolled to his stomach, and tried to get up. 'That beam hurt more than I thought it would.' Poindexter phased through the ceiling with his arms crossed.
"Ready for more, bully?"
"Ugh, wait…" Before Phantom could continue, he transformed back into Danny, completely drained. Poindexter widened his eyes.
"Y-you're, the halfa." He said, completely in awe. Danny managed to get to his feet.
"The whatta? What are you talking about?"
"The halfa. A ghost who could be both living and dead, a moving talking rift between both are realities. You're big talk in the ghost zone."
"I am? Wow, I've never been big talk anywhere." He said, referring to himself, not Phantom.
"Of course, you're said to have power no one could even imagine, and… and you're using your powers, for evil?" Danny widened his eyes.
"Wh-what no! Listen Chloe…"
"Was no doubt just one of your countless victims." "Danny looked dumbfounded.
"Victims?" Poindexter thought about it before he had an idea.
"I see now, you've been given great power you don't deserve, like a dungeon master who only wants to see the world burn!" Poindexter went intangible and launched at Danny, who took a step back.
"W-wait!" But it was too late. Poindexter went inside the ghost boy, and started fighting for control Danny tried to reason with him, but Poindexter was not going to start listing now. After a few seconds Poindexter went flying out and hit the ground, back first. He slowly got up and opened his eyes, revealing green eyes.
"Poindexter! What did you do to me?!" Danny (Poindexter) asked. Poindexter (Danny) opened his eyes, revealing them to be gray.
"I've done the right thing and stripped you of your powers and your life!" Danny widened his eyes.
"Wh-what?! You can't do that! I have my family, my secret identity, my friends, my life!" Danny growled, before charging at Poindexter, who shook his head.
"You should have thought about all that before you started theorizing people, but don't worry, because if you won't use your powers for good," He snapped his fingers, and Danny started feeling this pulling sensation. He started to get pulled upwards, and out of the boiler room.
"Then I sure as diddly will!" Danny was pulled back into the locker room and was dragged into the ghost mirror, and into the unknown.
Another chapter finished.
