Kim led the way through the town. The car had been parked a long way from Fenton Works due to parking. She couldn't believe what Mrs. Fenton had said. Danny Phantom was evil. And yet there were billboards everywhere advertising his presence in Amity Park. Danny Phantom had fought off Drakken's mind control and he only shot the machine. He could have shot Drakken or her and Shego but he didn't. But then again she'd only met one ghost before, the one who possessed Drakken and that one was evil. She'd just met this ghost, in fact she hadn't even spoken to him. He could have been biding his time. He might have only fired at the machine as it was hurting him and he wouldn't be able to fire another shot of his weird ghost energy.
"So, what do you guys think of Danny Phantom being evil?" Kim asked tentatively. The Tweebs shrugged. "When we were looking into him," Jim started. "He didn't seem evil. I mean the articles we read it sounded like Danny Phantom was protecting Amity Park," Tim continued. "Yeah. There was one article saying how he brought the town back to the human world when this insanely powerful ghost pulled it into the Ghost Zone," Jim added. "Ghost Zone?" Kim repeated. The Tweebs nodded. "Ghost dimension," Jim explained. "But then again there were articles saying how the ghost attacked the town hall," Tim informed Kim thoughtfully. Kim nodded. The Tweebs weren't sure because there were stories supporting both opinions.
"Ron, you spoke to him," Kim asked. Ron shook his head. "He didn't say much. He knew a lot about that cage. It was weird. When Drakken turned on that machine thing, his eyes started to change colour," Ron recalled. "So, do you think he's evil?" Kim repeated her question. "I dunno Kim, I didn't talk to him enough to know. He didn't strike me as the evil type though and you know, we can usually tell," Ron decided. "Thanks," a voice called from above.
The four teens froze and turned to the voice. There floating above them was Danny Phantom, standing like he was on the ground with his arms folded and smiling at them. Ron screamed and ducked behind Kim. "Ugh, Ron!" Kim complained. "I heard you were looking for me," Danny informed them as he floated slowly down to their eye level and landed gently on the ground. Kim scowled. "How did you know that?" she asked. "I have a pretty good idea of what happens in Amity Park. If you want to talk to me, we should get off the street," Danny answered. "Why should we trust you?" Ron shot at the ghost. Danny raised an eyebrow. "Been speaking to the Fentons I see," he commented. "And you'd know that how?" Kim retorted. "Because the Fentons hate me. They've got a grudge against me and refuse to accept that I really am only here to help," Danny replied.
Kim frowned but their conversation was interrupted by a cry. "Danny Phantom!" a boy shouted from across the road. "Aw, crud. Look, go down that alley there. I'll be back in a minute," Danny muttered and pointed to an alley a little further up the road discretely and flew off down the road in the opposite direction. Before Kim, Ron and the Tweebs could blink a huge crowd of teens stampeded after the ghost.
"Guess he has a lot of fans," Jim stated as they watched Danny fly off and turn a corner. "If he was evil, wouldn't he just attack those people or he would probably like the attention," Tim pointed out. Kim nodded, the Tweebs had a point. Maybe Maddie Fenton was wrong. "Come on, let's go to that alley and wait for him," Kim suggested. "You can't be serious KP. You're listening to him," Ron squeaked and Rufus popped out of Ron's pocket and tutted something like "bad idea". "Relax Ron. If he was going to hurt us, he would've done before," Kim reasoned and hoped she was right.
I'll just point out that Kim and co. are airing on the side of caution rather than believing what Maddie told them.
Anyway, until the next chapter.
