I was so bored today that I updated this chapter early. You guys are lucky. (This the part where you start cheering.)
I give my thanks to JuneLuxray2 and The Alien of Pluto for the suggestions for my writer's block. Seeing where this chapter is going, the next one might be the last. :(
Danny's POV
I got on Jazz's computer and went on Doomed 2.0
Ghostboy: Tucker? U there?
FryerTuck: Duh ive been on since you came 2 my house, remember?
Chaos: Hey guys
Ghostboy: Sam! I gotta tell u about last night!
I told her the explanation Wulf gave to me about Rage.
Chaos: So that's y he was after u. We need a plan 2 catch him.
Ghostboy: But we still hav 2 convince him that humans can b trusted or else he won't turn me back 2 normal.
FryerTuck: If u guys r done talking, I gotta plan here…
Chaos: U should hav said something, tuck! Spill it!
Maddie's POV
"Phantom!" I called. I saw a flash of blue light upstairs before he came and entered the lab. I scratched behind his ear and he began stomping his foot on the ground.
"We're gonna do more tests, okay?" I said to him.
He stopped at once. I stared. Could he understand me?
"You know how to understand human speech?" I asked. He sighed and nodded. Dogs could sigh?
I quickly scratched down:
Can understand humans
Was it possible that he was trained by the GiW (Guys in White)? I decided to just continue with the tests. I turned on the Fenton Voice Translator. Jack invented it to translate ghosts (and humans) that speak a different language. Since it can translate languages, I figured it would help me know what this dog is thinking.
"So…" I started. What was I suppose to say?
Danny's POV
Oh… No… oh-no-no-NO…Mom's got me cornered this time!
Get a hold of yourself, Fenton! You'll make it worse by panicking.
"Looks like you're gonna have to show her that I'm Phantom. Hopefully I don't have to tell them yet…" I said to myself.
"So…" Mom began. I braced myself for a good answer. "How is it that you can understand me?"
I hesitated. Should I talk or not? I really wished that Rage hadn't change my voice.
"Because I'm not suppose to be like this."
The machine didn't make a sound and I felt Mom's stare.
"You can talk?" she gasped.
I barely nodded. Knowing Mom, she'll start bombarding me with questions. She began to calm down.
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"I mean that I wasn't always like this. I was turned into a dog."
Mom thought of another question.
"How do you know how to fight ghosts? Were you a ghost hunter?
I paused.
"Sorta…"
I tried to think of an excuse to leave. "Listen, the more you keep me in here, the less time I have to become normal."
Mom widened her eyes slightly and then gave in. The she stood up, went upstairs and opened the front door. Before I had the chance to move Mom stopped me.
"Who are you?"
"I think the name you gave me answers the question." I reluctantly said after leaving the front door. Mom thought for a while before screaming my name to the sky.
"PHANTOM?"
I made my way to the Nasty Burger. I slipped the Fenton Phones on.
"Hey guys! I'm ready for the plan."
Time Lapse
"Are you sure this is gonna work Tucker?" I asked.
"Yeah, this seems like a lame plan to me." Sam said.
"Ooo! Can I talk to Uncle Tucker?" I heard Mia call from behind Sam.
"Uncle?" Tucker and I said at the same time.
"Yeah… I had to say think of something before-"
"Hey! Hey! Is your boyfriend there? Hi, Danny! We've never me before! I'm Mia! Sam told me a lot about you!"
You could hear Tucker snicker and Sam sigh in the background.
"Um, hi Mia. Sam's not my girlfriend. It's nice to meet you though" I thought of quickly.
"Okay let's just continue, okay?" Sam said, trying to change the subject.
"Riiiiight." Tucker was able to choke out.
Coming back to my surroundings. I took out a squeaky toy and bit it firmly.
"Squeak!"
"ARF!"
Something slammed my side. When I was sprawled on the ground, I looked to see what hit me.
"Curse my dog instincts." I heard the voice say.
"Looks like your plan worked, Tucker." I said in the Fenton Phones.
"Where are you?" Sam inquired.
"Behind Casper High"
"What is it, Human?" Rage asked, getting up.
"It's Danny and for the last time, change me back!" I yelled.
Rage laughed. "You expect me to believe that you deserve to be turned back?"
"I know your past. You hate humans, right?"
"All humans are evil."
"Look, not all of us are." I tried to explain to him.
"Don't give me that!" he snarled. "When I was alive, all I wanted was to be accepted by my master. I thought he would understand…" he trailed off.
"Well, you and I aren't that different, you know." I said to him absentmindedly.
Rage snapped his head in my direction.
"How could you possibly understand?"
"You want to be accepted. So do I. I'm just afraid to."
"Why would you be afraid?" Rage asked.
"I want to accepted, but afraid I won't." I said. I turned to look at him. "You'll never get any attention by getting revenge on the people you want to be accepted to."
Rage looked down. "Will anyone want me?"
An idea came to my head.
"I know one person who will, but you have to change me back first."
"You know, I think I will listen to you, Danny Phantom." He said as mist came out from his mouth again. I stood still.
Reviews please! The more the better!
