An Ghost of a Super
A Danny Phantom/The Incredibles crossover
Thoughts
The normal stuff
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or the Incredibles (if I did, DP wouldn't have finished, and there would be an Incredibles 2)
I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT AT THE END! PLEASE READ IT!
Dani's POV
"So you're telling me, that there was just an attack, yet we still go back to school?" I asked disbelieving, staring at Dash and Violet.
Violet nodded. "Yep! Guess Metro City is used to random attacks, so they continue normally."
"Well... that sucks." I grumbled.
"Tell me about it." Dash grumbled back.
"At least we missed PE and lunch." I piped up. "Oh, and History."
"Speak for yourself, I'm hungry!" exclaimed Dash.
"Oh yeah? Well I'm trying to figure out what the hell Adeliza and her friend meant about me!" I hissed at them. "I mean "Halved One"? "1000 years"? "Time Master"?! Come on! I think I win the award today."
"She's right. And at least we only have one lesson." Violet said. I smiled thankfully at her.
"True." Dash hesitantly replied. "So me and Dani have Music, and you have English."
"Yep!" came Violets reply.
"So lets go!" I half-yelled/half-sighed. And with that, Dash grabbed my hand and pulled me to Music, me barely managing to wave goodbye to Violet.
I met up with Zoë inside the music room. The teacher (for once) was already inside and sitting behind a piano, as well as everyone else. There was only like 16 people in the class. For some reason, the piano had a bowl filled with scraps in it. When she saw me, she quickly wrote on another scrap piece of paper and put in it the bowl. There was also a camera. We're probably doing a group exercise or something then, but what's with the camera then? She made me introduce myself, and I then sat down in between Dash and Zoë.
"Okay class! What we're doing today is... you have to sing a song based on a slip of paper out of this box, while I record it!" So that's why there's a camera. Needless to say there was an uproar.
After the uproar settled down, the teacher continued as she walked around with the box, telling us to pick one out. "There are four categories: Family; Love; Heartbreak; and Movies! Now, you'll perform in that order, so the Family's go first, then so on and so on. Also, as we have a new girl, introduce yourself before you sing."
As she explained, I picked my category, and my shoulders drooped, and my stomach fell to the floor. Damn. Family. "Any questions?" I heard the teacher ask. I put my hand up. "Yes?"
"Ummm, I got family. Which family should I sing about, my real one or my foster one?"
She smiled. "Preferably your real one please." I swore in Esperanto under my breath. Damn it.
"Okay, can the family people come up!" I hesitantly stood up and walked to the front. Then the teacher gleefully clapped. "Oh! Why doesn't the new girl come up first!"
I nervously nodded as I stood forward. I waited until she set up the camera, then I began my introduction. "Ummm, hi. My full name's Danielle Best, but I prefer Dani, with an 'I'. The song I'm singing is about my relationship with my real father."
Then I began to sing...
(ooooh, oooooh, oooooh)
I will not make the same mistakes that you did
I will not let myself
Cause my heart so much misery
I will not break the way you did,
You fell so hard
I've learned the hard way
To never let it get that far
/
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
/
I lose my way
And it's not too long before you point it out
I cannot cry
Because I know that's weakness in your eyes
I'm forced to fake
A smile, a laugh everyday of my life
My heart can't possibly break
When it wasn't even whole to start with
/
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me
Because of you
I am afraid
/
I watched you die
I heard you cry every night in your sleep
I was so young
You should have known better than to lean on me
You never thought of anyone else
You just saw your pain
And now I cry in the middle of the night
For the same damn thing
/
Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt
Because of you
I try my hardest just to forget everything
Because of you
I don't know how to let anyone else in
Because of you
I'm ashamed of my life because it's empty
Because of you
I am afraid
/
Because of you
Because of you
When I finished, I took a much-needed breath. Then I waited for the much-needed response (I'm insecure...). Silence... then APPLAUSE! After listening to loads of praise (that eventually/immediately blurred into one), I sank back into my seat and blurred out the rest of the lesson, due to boredom. It seemed as if a century had passed before the bell rang. I was the first to get out.
When Mrs. Parr dropped me off home, I walked inside and got a glass of water. When I walked into the living room, I felt my eyes widen and the glass of water dropping out of my hand, creating a loud crash.
"What the..." I muttered at the person sitting down casually, as if nothing in the world is wrong...
Hey! Sorry for the long wait! I do have a quick announcement though.
I'm beginning to lose inspiration for this stroy, but I will continue on. However, if someone wants to adopt my story, just PM me. Sorry!
Ja ne!
