Hi Peoples!

Chapter 10: Friday Wishes

Friday October

For the past few days Danny has been kinda depressed. Emily had ran out on him after she found out and he thought that she wouldn't come back and be his friend again. In his 'depression' he's been more quite than usual, working restlessly on his reading. At night he would go out swimming and flying with blue. Today, instead of going to preschool he skipped out and went to the park and swam.

"I was wondering when I would find you here."

Startled he jerks his head out of the water, and with wide eyes he spots Em leaning against a tree at the edge of the clearing. He backs away slightly.

"Oh! I ran off on you the other day and now you think that I dislike –" Here Danny tilts his head "- hate you. I don't. I actually had to go to work the other day. I just had wondered where you had gone whenever I had to run off. Maybe I should take you to work with me one of these days…"

She looks thoughtful at that and Danny, whose head fins had been dropped down, perks them up looking much more lively.

"I couldn't meet you the past few days because we had an important customer and last week, I had set up an appointment to get my hair died."

Now that she pointed that out he saw that the tips of her hair now look like fire. Danny smiles at her, showing off slightly pointed canines.

"That is… actually adorable." She says confused on how they could be cute.

He looks at her confused again.

"You have sharper canines than a human does, at least like this you do."

He grins at her and dives into the water, somehow getting Em wet.

"HEY!" She shouts laughing.

Doing something that only the craziest people do, she jumps into the pool fully clothed.

Later After the Fun Afternoon

Not even going to give his care takers the satisfaction of seeing him sneak in, he pushes the door open and strides in like no he didn't skip and yes he was where he was totally where he was supposed to be.

"Where were you young man?"

Danny stands tall and looks her directly in her eye, not saying a word.

"If you keep this up…" She threatens.

He walks away.

"Don't yo- … Never mind." She says as she realized that he won't listen. "Jack, what are we to do with him. *Sigh* He doesn't listen to me anymore. He's skipping school and he isn't even really in school. Where did we go wrong?"

Danny sits at the top of the stairs to listen to them talk.

"I don't know Maddie. Something has changed in him and I don't know what. Maybe it's just a phase he's going though."

"Somehow I don't think so."

"Well let's hope for the best."

Done…

One, Yes this is a short chapter. All I will say is that I was watching too much TV.

Two, Vote about Jazz please. Thanks to those two of you who have voted.

Three, Review:

briskpillow642 chapter 9 . Oct 26

Thank you for the small time skips, it really feels like the story goes a little faster. Also this chapter didn't really have a creep factor to me but you are doing awesome with the story. Plus you finally introduced the mechanic and I think she's cool but it feels like she is now wary of Danny (i thought she was going to be more supportive when she found out). Also Danny disowning his parents (what can I say they deserved it) was spot on.

Thanks for telling me all of the above! I did not intend for her to seem that way, so I did try to amend it this time around. Then again if you had met someone not even a month ago wouldn't you be a little wary of them if you found out they were not all that they seem. I am trying to get this story going faster and oh well about the creep factor.

Peace and Pieces!
