Silence 1

Resident all-star Dash baxter cowered in fear at the collasal mechancial ghost with the flaming green hair. Now Dash may have been big man of campus, but he wasn't a complete idiot. And he wasn't going to be a hero, not up against something like that. In fact he couldn't even imagine how any one could ever think of taking on a ghost, but there was one.

And he'd seen it done before. Many times before, it almost shocked him to think that someone roughly his age did it every day. The boy ducked as the ghost held a weapon at his head.

"Where is the ghost boy?" He demanded in his deep voice.

Dash had nothing to say, he was too terrified. What do you say while staring down the barrel of a giant weapon? But as if on cue the infamous hero slammed into the villian. As the two began to fight the jock ran behind a desk for cover. Normally he would've left the room, like any smart person would, but it wasn't everyday you could watch a fight like that.

Danny Phantom was always very careful to keep his business away from innocent people. It was that kind of commitment and selflessness that Dash found so admirable. It always made him feel guilty for the way he was. And so many times he wished he could change his ways, but he stuck with the status quo and he had a reputation after all.

"Hey toss me that thermos would ya?" The town hero asked his body pinned to the wall by the ghost's grip, yet he seemed unfazed.

Dash nodded and grabbed the container and tossed it up to the spandex clad teen. Yes, it was those rare moments that helped him feel honored. It was nice to help without hurting anyone. Phantom sucked Skulker into the thermos and capped the lid quickly. He floated in the air grinning at his work.

"Nice job Fenton." Dash congratulated without thought as he came out from behind a desk. Immedietly he was horrorfied at what he said and Danny's face mirrored his. Dash blew it, oh boy he really blew it this time.

The room stayed completely silent.

Hmm this older waaay before season three even started if I can remember.
