The last day of school. Danny couldn't believe it. In some ways it felt like only yesterday that he started at Casper high but in others the day had been a long time in coming. Graduation would be in a couple of weeks. There was a relaxed atmosphere all day. Mr Lancer even gave a farewell speech to the students, saying that despite their faults, he had enjoyed teaching them. He even pulled Danny back at the end to wish him luck with whatever had interrupted his school career, clearly hoping that Danny would open up and sate the teacher's curiosity. Unfortunately Danny had to disappoint him. But the gesture had touched the halfa. One of the teachers even started tearing up ten minutes before the bell rang, choking out something about it always being hard saying goodbye to the students. The year was then called into an assembly before the end of school.

"Now, I know that you are all looking forward to having fun tonight at prom. But I want to just go over a few rules and regulations before you leave. Like it or not, you are still students in this school until graduation and we can and will expel students for misconduct. If that happens you will have to find an alternative to graduating here with your classmates. But I will forewarn anyone thinking that it doesn't matter, schools do not look favourably on students expelled so close to graduation," the headmistress, Principal Ishiyama warned sternly. A few students nudged their friends jokingly in response to the statement.

"Firstly, there will be no alcohol allowed in the school tonight. Any student found with any alcohol, drunk or in possession of any other prohibited substances such as drugs will not be allowed to attend and may be subject to further punishment, depending on the circumstances," she resumed.

"Meaning if they're a trouble student or not," Sam muttered with a scowl.

"Next, you should uphold school policy and treat one another and faculty and other chaperones with respect," the principal continued, ignoring the whisperings around the room.

"So glad my parents aren't chaperoning tonight," Danny commented quietly. Sam giggled softly.

"Students must arrive at the school between six and eight o'clock tonight as you will all be locked in here until eight in the morning. There will be sleeping bags set up in a number of classrooms the location of which you will be given upon arrival here tonight. If you wish to bring a change of clothes, toiletries or any other items, you may bring them in a bag with your name clearly marked and leave it with a teacher at the front desk. Bags will be searched," the principal added.

"Wait, what if someone has to leave unexpectedly!?" Valerie shouted out from the seats.

"You may leave if you have a valid reason but you will not be allowed back inside," the principal answered calmly.

"Doesn't count if your best friend is half ghost," Tucker gloated quietly, grinning at Danny over Sam.

"And finally, I'd like to issue a formal goodbye as I won't be present tonight and in all likelihood won't see many of you until graduation. I am pleased to say I don't know many of you personally. For obvious reasons of course. And for those that I have met on numerous occasions, I wish you luck. I wish you all luck on your future endeavours. I hope that your time here at Casper High was enjoyable and that your time here will aid you throughout your lives. Have fun tonight, but not too much fun. Stay safe. And good luck," Principal Ishiyama announced with a warm smile. Mr Lancer and a few of the other teachers present encouraged the students to start clapping. Then they were dismissed. Their time attending lessons in Casper High was over. It was a surreal feeling. Better than summer break but somehow sad. This was it. No more high school.

Sam left Danny and Tucker a few minutes later, shouting for Danny to pick her up around half five. Danny nodded and called that he would be on time if she was. He grinned as his girlfriend stuck her tongue out at him before turning the corner out of sight. Yazmin and Eric joined Danny and Tucker a few minutes later.

"Where's Sam?" Yazmin asked.

"Running home to get ready, throw her mom's choice in the trash and then get ready again in what she decided on," Danny answered knowingly. Tucker sniggered.

"What are we gonna do?" Eric wondered. Danny and Tucker shrugged.

"Could do an early patrol around the city then I want to make sure Jazz is ready to take over for the night. You can come if you want," Danny replied with a shrug.

"I've got nothing better to do," Tucker muttered.

"Shouldn't you go find Ashley and arrange when you pick her up tonight," Danny pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

"Not all of us are old school Danny. We're meeting at the door. We agreed about six when I asked her but I'll text her in a bit to double check," Tucker retorted. Danny rolled his eyes.

"I am not old fashioned," Danny protested.

"Danny, you were gonna give Valerie a class ring. Face it dude, you're old fashioned. I don't have a problem with it, I think Sam likes it. But that's fact," Tucker reminded the halfa, ignoring the shocked expressions Yazmin and Eric had.

"Are you at least gonna get her a corsage?" Danny pressed, his tone obviously telling his friend he should.

"What's a corsage?" Tucker questioned, genuinely confused. Danny blinked at his friend before shaking his head.

"A special bracelet made out of flowers. It's tradition for the guy to get it for his date. Geez Tuck, don't you know any etiquette?" Danny explained exasperatedly.

"I'm not old fashioned Danny," Tucker quipped. Danny glared at his friend in annoyance.

They walked through the town together, stopping in a flower shop for Danny to pick up Sam's purple corsage and after a lot of encouragement, Tucker bought a ready-made white one for Ashley. Danny had tsked loudly that Tucker hadn't known what colour scheme Ashley was going to wear that night. Grumbling the whole way to Fenton Works, Tucker complained about the price of the corsage, loudly deciding that the thing was stupid.

"Girls are the only ones that care how they look for these things! Why do I have to care?" Tucker protested. Danny rolled his eyes as he pushed his front door open.

"Get over it Tuck. It's a one-time expense. You might impress Ashley enough that she finally lets you take her on a date," Danny pointed out. Tucker paused before considering the previously believed waste of money.

"You really think that this will mean that much to her?" Tucker wondered. Danny shrugged.

"You know I've never had much luck with girls. Paulina only went out with me because of that ghost amulet," Danny reminded his friend.

Danny ran upstairs and left both corsages in his room, safely away from ectoplasm and his clumsy father. Tucker dropped on to the couch and switched on the TV. Yazmin and Eric joined him.

"Hey guys, Danny out fighting ghosts?" Jazz greeted them as she came out of the kitchen.

"Actually he's upstairs leaving the corsages in his room. Jazz, you met your date at the door right? Did he get you a corsage?" Tucker asked, spinning around to look at the older girl over the back of the couch. Jazz frowned before nodding.

"Yeah. Brad did. But I'm pretty sure his mom bought it since he nearly left it in the car. Dad and Danny weren't happy that Brad didn't pick me up though. But it wasn't that big of a deal for me. I was only going to ensure I could understand the appeal for my age group. Brad ended up disappearing off with his friends and I was pretty bored all night," Jazz recalled. Tucker's face fell. He definitely owed Danny one. He wasn't gonna bother getting the corsage. He was starting to realise how bad that would have looked.

Danny hopped down the last step and grinned at his sister who frowned suspiciously.

"What do you want Danny?" Jazz asked.

"Want? I'm hurt! Can't a brother smile at his older sister when he gets home?" Danny exclaimed with forced hurt in his voice. Jazz raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. But I know that grin. You want something," Jazz answered. Danny sighed in defeat.

"Can you make sure mom and dad don't get into trouble tonight while I'm at the prom? I'll have my phone but please only call in an emergency. I told Sam that tonight was going to be ghost free. She even made me promise not to use my powers," Danny requested. Jazz rolled her eyes but nodded.

"Alright Danny. Will do. Anything I should know in particular?" Jazz agreed. She had always planned to take over Team Phantom's duties this evening. Her brother had earned a night off with his girlfriend. A real night off. Not a couple of hours someone covered for him so that he could go on a date that was usually interrupted. Jazz was half tempted to get the Plasmius Maximus from Vlad to remove any temptation. But she understood that if she did do that, she'd leave her brother defenceless if there was a ghost attack at the prom.

Danny shook his head as he frowned in thought.

"I stuffed Box Ghost into my thermos this morning between classes and I couldn't find Johnny and Kitty last night. They probably went back into the Ghost Zone. Skulker attacked yesterday. He usually only attacks once a week tops. You've read my ghost files and you know how to handle mom and dad and a thermos. I can't think of anything else. Anything in particular you want to ask me though?" Danny answered. Jazz shook her head. It was one night. She could handle it. And Amity Park could handle a few extra ghosts tonight as she didn't have a ghost sense like her sibling. Danny smiled.

"Tuck, you might want to go get changed soon. And text Ashley to double check the time. You should be there before her. It looks better," Danny advised. Tucker huffed loudly but obeyed his friend.

"Wait! The corsage!" Danny shouted after the techno-geek.

Grumbling, Tucker trudged up to Danny's room and grabbed the white flower bracelet before walking to his house.

"Why are you making him try so hard?" Jazz wondered. Danny grinned.

"Me and Sam are hoping prom turns into a relationship for Tucker. Might get more alone time together or at least get him off our backs all the time about what we're doing. Sam's been talking to Ashley, trying to make Tucker sound good. It's my job to make him look good," Danny revealed. Jazz laughed.

"Does he know that you two are conspiring to get him a girlfriend?" Jazz chuckled. Danny shook his head.

"Doubt it. Sam's been really discrete about it. Besides, I really don't think that Tucker's gonna get upset when he does figure it out," Danny replied.

Sneaky Danny.

I remember leaving secondary school and I did feel a little sad to see the last day come. School just flew by. But at the same time it was exciting. So I tried to show that here.
