I.
Wednesday. The worst day ever founded. All the classes I hated, all the people I hated and all the teachers I ... disliked. Damn authorities, gotta be polite. Plus I was pretty tired of ghost fighting last night. I opened the NastyBurgers looking out for my friends. Great. I sat myself on a free table. Where could they be? Why did they leave me alone, especially on Wednesday, the day we had no classes together. I only had classes with-
"Hey Fent-urd!"
Double great. The big boy stomped to my table.
"Now what is it this time?", I asked, lowering my annoyance.
"Gratitude!", Dash laughed and Kwan, his best friend, joined in with a yeah dude. I didn't even allow myself to create hopes, Dash didn't learn something like gratitude, especially not to use it on me.
"I didn't know today was first April's day.", I answered checking my phone calendar, when something caught up my attention. News alert?
"Turns out you're actually something worth." My heart crashed to the bottom. Did they found out my secret identity?! I grew paler.
"Yeah", Kwan admitted.
"If you wouldn't be in our class your parents wouldn't have taken us all to vacation!"
Wait what?
"So for today, we give you the bully vacation!", Dash announced grinning. "But don't worry" he whispered in my ear.
"Tomorrow you'll receive double back."
I shivered watching the boys leave. "Danny you ok?" Tucker asked crawling out of his hiding place. Great friend... I returned to my phone without responding.
"Hey I'm sorry dude, but Dash sounded pretty pissed when he shouted your name all over the school." My best friend clarified his view.
"Didn't seem quite pissed to me.", I mumbled still annoyed but distracted. I tapped on the news alert button. It always showed me the news relating to ghosts.
"Why? What did he want?" Tucker kept asking. I suddenly started grinning.
"He thanked me." Tucker started laughing and mocking about me and Dash, but I wasn't paying attention anymore.
Alert from Blueville: We need Phantom!
Citizens of Blueville have recorded many attacks from the sea. "It's a ghost! I swear, I saw it with my own eyes!" (56, victim)
The GiW (Guys in White) detected no ghosts and are planning to do nothing against the flooding and the strong stream creating an increase in the drowning statistics. Citizens of Blueville are pleading for help from Amitys Park superhero Danny Phantom!
I lowered my mobile.
"They actually need me?" I whispered surprised leaving Tucker with a confused look. All of a sudden my phone rang. I tapped the green button.
"Hey Danny-boy! Guess what? We're going to-"
"Blueville..." I muttered slightly pissed.
"You already know?" My Dad asked surprised.
"How come the whole schools knows but me?!" I started complaining.
"And why is my class accompanying us?" A sigh reached over the phone to my end.
"I guess you're aware of the ghost of Blueville?" I nodded, realizing my Dad couldn't see that.
"Well since the GiW aren't helping them and neither that brat, someone has to do it, right?" I had to admit he was right. Furthermore this was a chance to get to Blueville and help them, as Danny Phantom.
"But why the class?" I whined.
"We can't let you stay alone at home, since Jazzy-bear isn't at home for a week, nor can we take you out solo of the school. That's why we organized a school trip!" He yelled full of enthusiasm.
"By any chance I can show you how to become a real ghost hunter!" He whispered proudly.
"Yeah...", my cracked up voice answered lacking the enthusiasm. "Alright! Now then...em...keep up the great work, I guess."
I listened to the beeping signalling the hung up call. My attention got back to Tucker.
"Get me an update!" He insistent. I sighed, shaking my head.
"My parents organized a field trip." I could clearly watch Tucker's mood lighten up, as his brows shot up to the sky.
"Guess we are going to-"
"The ghost zone?" Tucker yelled excitedly. My look must have been priceless.
"What? No Tuck! No!" I laughed facepalming.
"No way! That's the most stupid thing I've ever heard and I live with my parents!" Tucker shrugged his shoulders while trying to keep me down. I calmed down, but still laughed about his stupidity.
"Now seriously" I washed away a teardrop.
"A field trip to the ghost zone. How stupid is that?"
I closed my baggage sighing. I didn't even know why the sigh escaped my mouth. It just appeared out of nowhere.
"Danny?" My door creaked open.
"Hey Sam." A peaceful smile formed itself. Sam didn't share my greeting, but I was used to it.
"Are you really sure about it?" She asked me instead.
"About what?", I asked, most likely to keep up a conversation.
"About everything!" She exclaimed with using her hands.
"Leaving Amity Park alone, dealing a sea monster-"
"It's not like I have a choice, haven't I?" I interrupted her speech. Sam let herself fall onto my bed.
"You're right." She whispered. I knew she didn't come to my house to be proven wrong. Sam was one of the smartest persons I knew, it wasn't necessary for her to ask dumb questions. She was obviously nervous. "Don't worry Sam. Amity Park will do it for one week alone. In the meantime Blueville really needs our help. Who else will help them? GiW? These arrogant show offs?" Sam started laughing so I grinned as I continued.
"My parents? Please, they can't even fight a ghost living under their own roof!" The girl bursted out laughing. I smiled happily, kinda looking forward to our mission.
"Thanks Danny."
