TMDDF: Danny and Kara
Chapter 32: The Competition Part 1
Friday
A few days have passed and it was now Friday. Sam had already sighed up for the competition and she'll be taking part in the track match.
Since the competition will have five events, such as football, soccer, ice hokey, gymnastics and track, it seemed like the most sensible option.
She still wasn't pleased with the kind of uniform that she'll have to wear.
"I still can't believe that they expect me to wear PINK tomorrow...'Sam grumbled.
"Come on, Sam. You've worn pink before?..."Danny pointed out and Sam glared.
'Yeah but not in front of the whole school, and add insult to injury, I'm gonna be wearing in from of OTHER schools too..."Sam said.
"Think of it as taking one for the team...'Tucker said and Sam sighed.
"What do you think that I've been doing?..."Sam muttered.
She knew that technically speaking, she's still on thin ice with some people, such as Jazz and Superman. She knew it had to be bad since even Kara, the one whom she antagonized, is more willing to give her a second chance than Danny's own sister.
Sam wasn't perfect she knew that but she wasn't evil. She knew what she did was wrong. She's been reminded of it often enough. That's also part of the reason that she is doing this. If one day of swallowing her pride and ignoring gothic norm got Jazz to stop glaring at her and more important, to show SUPERMAN that she was someone trustworthy and not a super villainess in the making or some shallow pathetic girl who'd expose Kara's identity just because she and her crush were a couple...well, she put on the pink shirt and pretend to compete.
Danny saw this and sent her a small smile.
Overall, he was just glad to have her back in his life as his friend. Danny had known Sam since kindergarten and she has always been with him through thick and thin.
He also knew when she was sincerely sorry and when she wasn't. She really did feel bad about spying on Kara and him on their dates and thinking his girlfriend was an evil ghost out to destroy him.
And...in hindsight, given his track record before the service, that was not an entirely unreasonable deduction.
"I really appreciate this, Sam..." Danny said, meaning it.
Hearing that did calm her down, but only a little.
"Maybe we'll be lucky and Brainiac attacks again..." She muttered.
"Doubt it..." Danny said.
There hasn't been any sign of Superman's foe lately. Danny certainly hoped that meant that he wouldn't be causing any more trouble but like the Man Of Steel said before, he has a bad habit of coming back.
"Come on Sam, chill. It's only one day and like 80% are people we'll never see again." Tucker said.
Sam shook her head.
"It's going to be filmed, Tucker... LIVE!..."She reminded.
"Oh yeah..." Tucker forgot.
Danny smiled at their little antics before this happened.
"Hey Danny!...'Someone called to them.
It's Carl.
"Yes?..."Danny said, wondering why he looks so excited.
"I took your advice on keeping it real with Ashley and not only did she go with me to the movies last night, we got a second date coming up!...'Carl said, looking excited.
"Uh, that's good to know, Carl..."Danny said.
"I really owe ya, man!..."Carl said as he playfully punched him in the shoulder, which did not amuse Danny.
"Sure...No problem, man. Just treat her right..." Danny said.
Carl nodded before running off
As Carl headed off, both Sam and Tucker stared at him. Both of them still rather surprised at Danny being a popular source of dating advice.
"Wow... who would think guys would come to you for this?..." Sam asked.
Danny shrugged.
"I guess... I was just nice to them..." Danny asked.
"Now then... back to Sam's reluctance to appearing in front of Casper High, Middleton, Horizon. Jim Jr High-
"Tucker! Shut up! I'll do it, okay?!..."Sam said, looking well passed annoyed now.
That's when Danny thought back.
"Those names..."He thought.
He tried to think back. Those names are familiar to him, he knows it but he can't put his finger on it. Superman tried to get in contact with Batman, but unfortunately, the Dark Knight was unavailable to help due to handling some terrorist group in South America and thus, couldn't help out now.
"Hey, guys?..." Danny asked. "Do those schools hold any meaning to us?..."He asked.
Both Sam and Tucker shared a confused look and shook their heads.
Tucker and Sam looked to each other but they couldn't think of the reason either "I don't know dude the names don't sound really familiar"
Sam shrugged "can't really think of a reason" Sam said "didn't Ember attack during a football game once"
"Yeah but I think there's more of a reason than that" Danny said it was really bugging him he couldn't remember why those names meant anything to him
"Why?..." Sam asked.
Danny thought for a moment.
"It's just... something seems oddly familiar about those places..."He admitted.
Does it have something to do with Cheesehead's plan? As far as I know, he's never been to either of those places.
"It's probably nothing.."Danny shrugged... "Still, Vlad organized this event for a reason? Just what is so big about those schools?..."Danny said.
"Well, maybe he is trying to confuse you. Maybe he just randomly picked a bunch of different schools just to get you like this, to confuse you while he tries to do his evil plot, whatever it is..."Tucker suggested.
'I don't know. Maybe but I still feel like I am forgetting something..."Danny said.
It was starting to drive him crazy trying to figure this out. Maybe he was overthinking this and Vlad really did pick other schools at random...or maybe there was some sneaky reason these schools were picked.
"Danny, as far as we know, you've never been to those schools and overall, it really doesn't matter WHY Vlad picked them. All we have to do is follow the plan tomorrow, find out what Vlad is up to and put a stop to it..."Sam said.
Danny nodded, seeing her point.
"Alright, come on. We have a lot to prepare for tomorrow..."Danny said.
He and his friends soon left the school together to get home and put the finishing touches to their plan.
Unknown to them, Dash watched Danny and his friends walking out, his eyes glaring daggers at the dark haired boy.
"Just you wait, Fenton..."Dash grumbled, as he, himself, had his own plan for tomorrow.
One that he knows that everyone, especially Fenton, will never forget.
In Metropolis
Kara had just left her own school, happy that she managed to convince the editor of the paper to let her cover the story of the competition being held in Amity Park.
She even has a special pass that identifies her as a member of the Metropolis High News Crew, which would guarantee her acess when she tries to dig deeper into the event tomorrow.
"So far, so good..." She thought proudly.
Her editor liked the idea of covering the event, as long as she could get interviews with some of the more prominent athletes especially Kim Possible. Kara hasn't met the teen hero in person yet but she knew that the cheerleader was on the shortlist of possible members to recruit if there was expansion to the Justice League.
Though some people, like Kal-El, had issues with her lack of a secret identity and the fact that she was technically a mercenary, even if she only went after criminals.
Kara briefly wondered if Vlad was targeting her, before shaking her head. Unless she's mistaken, it didn't seem like something the Cheesehead would do. I mean, what would he gain by targeting a freelancer hero who is also a cheerleader that does babysitting in her spare time?
Once she was far enough, she pulled out her phone and dialed a certain number.
"Hello?..."
"Clark, it's me. It worked, I'm covering for my school..."Kara said happily.
"Perfect..." Clark responded. "Perry's given me and Lois the thumb's up, too. We'll meet with you later and give our game plan. You should tell Danny too..."The last son of Krypton said to his cousin.
"I will..." Kara said before hanging up.
Kara's phone rang, pulling it out she saw the picture of her and Danny from her second date she used as a contact picture.
"Huh? He did it again..."She said, smiling as she answered it.
"Hey Danny..." she said, excited.
"Hey, how were things with your editor?..."Her boyfriend asked.
"Good news, it worked. I'll be covering for my school paper. I just have to get an interview with some of the athletes..." Kara said
"If you can interview Dash without losing your lunch, than you should be nominated for a Pulitzer..."Danny quipped.
"Not sure that's how it works but thanks..."Kara said before continuing.
"Clark and Lois will be there too. And anyone can figure out the Cheeseheads plan, it's them..."She said.
"Not to mention the most beautiful journalist in the world, Kara Kent..." Danny complimented Kara blushed.
"Flattery won't get you everywhere, Mr. Fenton..."Kara teased and Danny chuckled.
"So, the plan?..."He asked, a little more seriously.
"We meet with them tonight to discuss how they'll get the info out of him..." Kara explained. "Soon as I know where exactly, I'll let you know..."She said.
"Got it. Thanks for the update..."Danny said.
"No problem..." She said with a happy voice .
Kara and Danny talked on the phone a little bit more before they hung up. Kara held her phone before sighing.
"This has to work.."She whispered to herself.
Kara soon heard the security alarm ringing for a jewelry shop across the street and she saw two thieves driving away in their car, at top speed,
"Don't they ever learn?..."She muttered in annoyance.
Kara sighed as she went to go change in a nearby alley.
Crime never takes a break...and neither does she.
The Next Day
Saturday
It was day of Mayor Master's first annual Multi School Wide Sport's Extravaganza.
And yes, it's every bit as stupid and pretensions as it sounds, at least that's what Sam thought when she first heard about the name.
Her friends didn't disagree with her.
Danny and his friends soon arrived to the local stadium, which Vlad rented out and apparently had several areas for various sports competition, each determined by age, grade and sport level proficiency, whatever that means.
"So this is it?..."Danny said as he arrived with Tucker and Jazz.
"Vlad's going all out here...'Tucker commented.
"Which means that there is definitely more here than meets the eye.."Jazz said, feeling suspicious.
"So, where is Sam and Kara? And...you-know?..."She asked, being careful not to mention the Man of Steel here in such a public place.
"Sam should be getting ready and Kara said that she'll show up with...her friends..."Danny said.
Just then, a bus pulled up from Metropolis High and out came various students, both jocks and cheerleader, along with some news paper club member, including a fetching blonde girl in glasses.
"Kara..."Danny said happily.
"Hey Danny..."Kara said, happy to see a familiar face so soon.
"Hey Tucker..."Kara waved.
"Hey...so...where is this help that your cousin promised?..."Tucker asked.
"Don't worry, Lois Lane will be in the media circus, along with some other of my cousin's friends..."Kara half lied.
She trusted Tucker but she did promise her cousin to be discreet.
Suddenly, one of the athletes from Metropolis High, Alex Danvers approached them.
"Kara..."She called.
'Oh, hey Danny. I didn't know that you'd be here..."Alex said.
"Hi Alex..."Danny said in a friendly way.
"Just here to...support my school..."Danny said and Kara tried to hide her frown.
She still hasn't gotten around to asking him about adding Alex to the loop, he has been too preoccupied with worrying about Vlad lately.
"Anyway, I think an introduction is in order. Alex Danvers, this is my best friend Tucker and my older sister Jazz. Guys, this is Alex, Kara's best friend..."Danny introduced.
"Hi there..."Tucker greeted
"It's nice to meet you..."Jazz said in a friendly way.
"Likewise, any friend of Kara's is a friend of mine"..." Alex said as she took notice of Danny's sister and friend.
"So... that Sam girl isn't here... it looks like I may need to see her at the games..."Alex commented.
"So you're competing too?..."Danny said and Alex nodded.
"Yes, I'm taking part in both soccer and track.."Alex said.
"Well, may the better team win..."Danny said, since technically speaking, they are from rival schools.
"Likewise...anyway, I gotta go set up with my team, see ya later..."Alex said as she went with her team.
"She seems nice..."Jazz commented.
"She is...'Kara said with a smile.
"What now?" Tucker asked.
"Now we try to find out the Cheesehead's plan..." Danny told him.
Tucker pulled out his PDA.
"I've tapped into security cams. I've also set up an algorithm to send alerts to our phones if Plasmius or anyone in Danny's ghost files show up..."Tucker said.
"How long did that take?..." Kara asked and Tucker shrugged.
"Five minutes... I wasn't really timing..." Tucker said
Kara was impressed. Sure, she knew Tucker was smart but that was way smarter than the average human teenager should do, especially with a PDA.
Kara leaned over to Danny
"Is Tucker some kind of meta-human?..."She asked.
After all, her cousin and the league were familiar with a meta human in Dakota who could do all sorts of amazing, technological things and he was a hero too.
Danny shook his head.
"No, Sam and I kinda left him hooked to a studying machine for twelve hours to get rid of a ghosts brainwashing. There were side effects..."He explained.
"Good side effects..." Kara said.
"He's mostly over it but sometimes he still has his outbursts. But even before than, he was always tech savvy...'He said and Kara nodded, understanding now.
"Anyway, if any ghosts show up, we make a distraction for Danny to change or we take the shot ourselves... "Jazz said, briefly showing a Fenton Peeler she had stashed in her purse.
"Not with Vlad you're not..." Danny said protectively
"Wait for me or Kara..."He ordered.
"But Danny..."Jazz started.
"I mean it. Unlike me, Vlad doesn't care about civilian casualties..."He reminded.
"Fine..." Jazz said, differing to her little brother "But if it's Spectra?..."She whispered.
"Then fire at will..." Danny said.
"Got it..."Jazz nodded.
"Good but for now, just pretend you're here for Sam." Kara explained. "I'll do my intended role..."She said.
"Alright, you be careful." Jazz said.
"Okay, but just remember that for now, think of me as just plain old Kara Kent, mild mannered reporter for the Metropolis High Newspaper..."Kara said in a quippy sort of way.
Danny knew the meaning of her words and snickered, though Tucker and Jazz, who didn't, looked to her puzzled.
"Why would you say something so specific like that?..." Jazz asked.
Both Danny and Kara chuckled, much to their confusion.
"Long story..." Kara responded.
Just then, they saw the athletes from Casper High and no surprise, Dash is there for the football competition. However, they saw one person there who, if they didn't know any better, would be seriously out of place in this sort of thing.
Sam Manson, who is wearing a PINK shirt with Casper High's logo and matching gym shorts, while the guys wore a red version of that sort of thing. She also had a dead look on her face.
"Now I've seen everything..."Tucker said, while Jazz rolled her eyes.
"It's just a color, it's not like it's poisoned..."Jazz said, annoyed by Sam's over dramaticness.
"Let's just get this over with..."Danny said.
"Right...I'll go to the various teams and ask around for any clues to what Vlad might be after..."Kara said and Danny nodded.
"Cool, me, Tuck and Jazz will be in the stands, ready for anything..."Danny said to his girlfriend.
"Okay. Stay safe." She said before quickly sharing a kiss with him.
"You too..." Danny responded.
"Ha! Check it out, the goth geeks trying to look hotter for Fenturd..." Dash said.
Dale and some other football players laughed, both Danny and Kara heard this and the blonde Kryptonian shot Dash in the foot with a low level heat vision, so low, that no one could see it due to how fast she was and she ended up hitting his knee making him fall down and yelp.
"AHH!..."Dash shouted and Danny grinned when he saw him.
"You are amazing..."Danny said before kissing her on the cheek, making her giggle.
With that, they part and head to their intended roles.
Meanwhile
Just as Danny and his team entered the competition grounds, many buses from out of town have arrived, just for the same event.
Once of them being from Middleton High School, which inside, has the school's football team, cheer leading squad and lastly, their mascot, the Middleton Mad Dog.
As said groups, left the bus, one girl, the captain of the cheer squad, took in her surroundings.
It's Kim Possible, who had been both surprised by the announcement of the event, but eager to be here.
"Huh? They sure went all out..."She commented as she looked around the area.
Still, despite suppose to be thinking of the games and competition, the cheerleader felt something when she arrived to this town, which had NOTHING to do with today's event.
Not at all.
"This is the town of my first date, the one who made me stay. The one I choseā¦"Kim thought, as she blushed at the thought of Danny.
She didn't know why, but she felt both joy and sadness for being back here.
"Why am I like this? I haven't even seen him since our date and...I'm not even sure if he's-"
"Yo! KP!..."Someone called out to her.
It's the school's mascot, and also her best friend and sidekick, Ron Stoppable.
"Oh... uh... yeah, Ron?..."Kim said, snapping out of her thoughts.
"Let's show them what the Middleton Maddogs can do!..."Ron proudly shouted as he pumped his fist.
"Uh... sure..."Kim said, trying to regain her senses and focus on the game.
As he went, Kim still thought to herself.
"Danny..."
It made her smile fondly to think of him.
Sure, it's been months since she last saw him and he didn't picked her in the end...which she is TOTALLY over, by the way, but he is still a great guy...
I mean, sure...after Danny didn't pick her, the service tried to set her up with another of her past dates, Peter Parker.
Peter was funny, sweet and super considerate and he kind of reminded her a bit of Danny, only brainier.
She will admit that she did enjoy going out with him but teen relationships, more often than not, had an expiration date. There's was less than three weeks before they called it off.
Kim wasn't even sure why but Peter asked one day if they could break up , saying he had a lot of responsibilities and that dating wasn't something he could do right now
Kim's feelings were hurt but she understood and it wasn't like Peter broke up with her over a text. He did it in person like a gentleman, even coming out to Middleton to see her
First Danny Fenton, now Peter Parker.
For someone who could do anything, keeping a boyfriend was starting to look like it wasn't it one of them.
"Hey KP, you okay?..." Ron asked Kim nodded.
"Totally, just thinking bout the competition..."Kim said.
"Yeah, Middleton High is gonna dominate!Especially with you here, you can do anything..." Ron said.
Kim nodded. Ron was right, she could do anything including get a boyfriend.
She wouldn't try with Peter again but maybe, like her, Danny was a free agent again...
After all, there is a TINY possibility that maybe, just maybe, he's still unattached.
Maybe after the competition, she could casually look for him...to say Hi, at least.
And maybe, just maybe, she might still have a chance.
With McGillis-Pertsch High Team
The McGilis-Pertsh ice hockey team had arrived and were setting up their station. Doing light warm ups before getting ready to get out onto the ice rink
"Wow! This is...something," Caitlin wasn't sure if the decorations were in style, something she took importantly.
"Man for a rich guy turned mayor, you'd think the guy could have better colors. I mean gold and green? Meh..." Jonesy said.
"Say what you want, I am pumped for this," Jen exclaimed.
Just then, they saw where they will be competing in and they were amazed.
"Woah, dude! I can't believe that mayor dude set up a whole ice rink for you dudes to play on..." A blonde kid said and around him were five of his friends.
"Well, Jen's going to dominate..." An African Canadian kid said, rooting for his friend.
Of the six teens, Jen was the only one who had a grin.
"Of course who can beat a Canadian on the ice..." Jen said
"Frozone..."The blonde kid, Jude said before his friends shook their heads.
"At hockey Jude, not making ice..."She clarified.
"I can't believe I miss the Khaki Barn..." Nikki groaned. "At least I get paid there..."She muttered.
"With a trophy, you could probably ask for a pay raise..." Jude said.
The event made no impact to him whatsoever. Along as he could skateboard, Jude was fine.
"Nikki's not getting a trophy, I am. Nobody's getting in my way..." Jen said as she smacked her knuckled together.
"Except for the students from the other schools..." Wyatt said with a smirk.
"They can try but I am not giving up on that trophy..."Jen said, her competitive side kicking in.
Caitlin saw that Nikki still didn't look pleased, so she put a on her her shoulder.
"Don't be so glum Nikki. Look at all the boys..." She said watching as hockey players walked past, along with the players from the other schools.
"Forget the dudes! Look at the cheerleaders..." Jonesy said with a grin
"I'll be up front for that competition..."He said with a lecherous look on his face, which annoyed his friends, especially Nikki, since they were currently "Off" right now.
"Comments like that are why only three girls wanted you after the service dude..." Jude said, while the others laughed. Jonesy looked like his ego got kicked at being reminded of THAT.
"Those girls were crazy..." Jonesy said.
"And the other 27 could see how big your ego is..."Wyatt said with a smirk.
"Oh shut up. Just because you got ten girls doesn't mean anything..."Jonesy said.
"Oh, I think it does..."Nikki said with a smirk while the others laughed when Jonesy's ego got taken down a peg.
Wyatt laughed before he looked around the booths.
"You think they have a...coffee stand here?..."He asked.
"It's American, the place practically bathes in it..." Nikki snarked.
Jen ignored them and maintained her smile. Although not for the reason they think.
"This is where I saw Danny... I might not see him at the games but maybe I can find him at the mall afterwards. Even if he's with someone... I just want to see him and say hi..."Jen thought as she carried her gear to her station.
Caitlyn saw the grin on her friends face she knew she had a blind date here with a younger guy who made her swoon maybe just maybe she could make some matchmaking magic happened for her friend and Danny Fenton.
With Jim Jr High's team
"Hello, AMITY PARK!...." Phil DeVille shouted while his twin sister ,hid her face.
"Phil, please don't be embarrassing..." She begged while her friend Kimi leaned over to her.
"Can he do that?..."She snarked.
"I have no idea..." Lil admitted
"Hey, I've got ears" Phil said in annoyance.
Tommy stepped forward,
"Come on, you guys we're gonna have fun. That's the point of coming to this event..."Tommy said.
"And I'm going to get it all on film..."Tommy said as he pulled out his trusted camera.
"Just make sure that get my good side, Pickles..."His cousin, Angelica said.
Tommy and his friends looked annoyed.
"I still don't understand why YOU'RE here..."Lil said in annoyance, since Angelica isn't even on the team or in their grade for that matter.
"Hey, your folks only let you come to this thing if there was a responsible young adult around..."Angelica said as she flipped her hair.
"So, why are you here?..."Phil said and the other's laughed.
Angelica got annoyed but ignored them.
Her eyes were in the direction of the other's schools, particularly Casper High's team, but she didn't see whom she was hoping to see there.
"Where is he?..."She thought, while her cousin looked to her in confusion.
"What are you looking at Angelica?..."Tommy asked, snapping his cousin out of it and she blushed a bit over being caught.
"None of your business...just go to your seats. I'm going to go get something for me..."Angelica said as she walked away.
The other's thought she might be going to the concession stands to get a snack..and sure, the thought did cross her mind, but she wanted to get something that wasn't in the four food groups.
It wasn't something but someone. whom she hopes is here.
Sure the chance was minimal but maybe for Angelica, there is a chance of starting something new with a certain black haired, blue eyed boy named Danny.
Sure, she didn't pay much attention at the first part of their blind date, but on the second part, she made an effort to actually listen to him and she did distinctly recall that he mentions that he goes to Casper High.
She wanted to see him again.
After all, it's been months and even IF he picked some other girl from that lousy dating service, what are the chances that they are STILL together after over three months, which is considered very rare among Junior High and even Freshman/Sophomore couples?
That's what most of her magazines said anyway.
Yeah, she was upset that he didn't pick her...who wouldn't be upset?
Thankfully, the only consolation was that Savannah didn't get picked by the guy she wanted either.
What was his name Chin or Change or something stupid like that?
But that wouldn't be the case for Angelica.
Sure, her cousin and his friends might be here for the sports competition but the only sport she was here for, is if it was available, was Danny Fenton.
And if he was free... well, than she was going to go for the gold.
With Horizon High
"All right, boys! I want you to give a hundred percent! I don't want you to slow down until your bodies drop..." Anya Corazon said to the athletic teams while her friends looked concerned.
"Is Anya always like this..." Peter asked.
"Yes..." Gwen Stacy and Miles Morales said in unison
"You'd know this if you weren't always in your lab..."Miles said as he put a hand on Peters shoulder.
"I'm not always in my lab..." Peter protested.
It's true. More often than not, he was out web swinging as Spiderman or mugging for his camera drone to make money to STAY at Horizon High. Other's not so much, such as his last relationship that ended rather poorly due to his double life and distance.
With great power comes great responsibility...and responsibility means that he can't always get what he wants.
He accepted that a long time ago.
"Hey, don't just stand around Peter..." Anya said.
"Go scope out the other teams..." She ordered
Peter nodded, he wasn't competing but he promised Anya that he'd help set things up..and she said that he owed her for bailing on her during their last project, which was due to Doctor Octopus causing trouble than anything.
So Peter did as Anya told, while she continued to boss the team around, while Miles, Gwen and the other students went to the stands to go support their team.
However, one girl was neither on a team, news crew or had any desire to cheer for her team.
No, she is here on business.
It's one Felicia Hardy. A new comer to Horizon High, who was currently on the phone, far away from any pesky eyes and ears, talking to someone who will give her a handsome sum of money once she completed her latest job.
"I see...So that's what you want...She asked.
"You sure your target will show up..."She whispered, making sure to be discreet.
"Trust me, my dear, your target will appear! I'll make sure of it. Just wait for my signal and do your part..."Her client said on the other end.
"Well, that's not an easy job, but luckily for you, nothing is too tough for The Black Cat..."She whispered.
"That better be true..."He said.
"Just have my money ready when I deliver the goods..."Felicia said.
Once she finished talking to her "anonymous employer", Felicia scanned around the area, trying to find someone whom she just knows is around here some place.
Someone who was the reason she actually decided to come to this stupid game in person, rather than just wait from the roof tops like she normally would.
Danny Fenton, also known as Danny Phantom, the only guy whom she even remotely liked from that dating service she took part in last summer and the only other guy she ever sincerely liked in a genuine sense, the other being a certain wall crawler that she had a soft spot for but is all the way back in New York.
Spiderman was even part of the reason she decided to go to Horizon High, rather than stick with home schooling again this year and so far, it's been a half-half sort of thing due to his strange desire to make her give back all the things she worked so hard to steel and then hand her over to the police, despite the fact that she always managed to escape before they managed to get her to jail.
It was a strange game between them, one that Felicia did enjoy but right now, she wants something different.
Something more...spiritually challenging, in a way...like in the form of a small, cute, funny but strong and strong willed ghost boy who managed to earn her respect.
Sure, prowling around Horizon High was fun because Spider was always fun to play with, plus the eye candy he offered in that tight little costume of his was another thing that had her stick around the school. He was just so cute when he got angry.
And true, she didn't know his secret identity, not that she particularly cared, to her, the mystery was part of what made the Spider so attractive.
On the other hand, she did know Danny's secret identity and she still found herself attracted to both his heroic side and his human side, which aren't really all that different, seeing as he still had that spine of his in both form when he dealt with her.
Sure, Spider was always fun to play with but Danny Phantom was fun too...plus, he's a good kisser. Not to mention, he was a gentleman on their date and he knew what he wanted and didn't let anyone disrespect him. Felecia could appreciate that in a boy
She still liked him.
It was partially the reason why she agreed to take this job, the other, BIGGER reason was the money that her anonymous client was offering her.
While she did promise to stay out of Amity Park, there were certain things that overruled Felicia's morals as a thief, like money plus you didn't survive in the underworld by trying to bite off more than you could chew.
Plus, there was the appeal of getting to see her favorite boy from the dating service. Danny Fenton or Phantom depending on which was the mask and who was the boy behind the mask.
Maybe she'd say hello or maybe something more, if he was single...
Either way it would be fun to see him again
"Now, where are you?..." Felicia asked with a grin.
"Attention all students and competitors. Please report to the stands..." Principal Ishiyama's voice sounded over the PA system.
Felicia grinned, maybe she'd get to see her match sooner than she thought.
Sure, she is here on business...but...
Who says you can mixed business with some pleasure?
With Kara
Kara wasted no time in trying to ask around the various team captains and other people some questions.
She tried, discreetly mind you, if there was any particular connection these schools had to each other. She asked three team captains but so far, nothing.
"Not like I expected him to recruit supervillain students or anything like that..." She said to herself under her breath.
"Maybe Tuck's theory about the schools being a red herring was right..." Kara muttered as she still rubbed her chin trying to figure out the older Halfa's plan.
Since she wasn't looking where she was going she bumped into a woman
"Watch where your going, kid..."She said rudely before walking off.
"Rude..."Kara thought with a frown. Kara was about to walk until she paused.
She doesn't know why but something about that woman's voice sounded...familiar.
"Wait, was that-"
She then heard the sound of an insect fly by. However, it moved faster than any normal insect.
Kara turned her head and looked around. She saw nothing.
Weird... I thought I heard-
"Attention all students and competitors. Please report to the stands..." Principal Ishiyama's voice sounded over the PA system.
Looks like this show is going to begin..." Kara said walking to the stands
'Hope your ready Vlad because I'm coming for you....' Kara thought
As Kara headed back, other girls were doing their own thing.
The cheer captain of Middleton nodded.
"Alright..." Kim said. "Maybe when this is done, I can find Danny. Mom says his folks have a rather noticeable house..."
"Finally... let's do this!..."Jen grinned as she readied herself.
"About time..." Angelica muttered as she rolled her eyes.
"Time to get to work..."Felicia said as she smirked mischievously.
These girls were unaware of robotic insects observing from hidden locations.
Once their photos were taken, they sent them to Vlad.
On his phone, he grinned.
"Excellent... all the pawns are here. Now MY kind of game can begin..."He thought smugly before he went to the podium to give his speech and officially start the games.
With Danny
Danny was in his seat, in between Tucker and Jazz. They kept their eyes and ears open, they had to be prepared for anything and everything.
Danny looked to his friends.
"Looks like the shows about to begin..." Danny said. Tucker and Jazz nodded as they sat around Danny
"Attention all students and competitors. Please report to the stands..." Principal Ishiyama's voice sounded over the PA system.
The students gathered in a crowd in front of a stage, sitting on the stage were various faculty from the schools, along with Danny's most hated enemy, Vlad
He smirked seeing Danny in the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, students of all ages, please allow me to present one of the organizers of this little even,t Mayor Vlad Masters..." Principal Ishiyama said before letting Vlad take the podium.
Vlad smiled allowing a brief photo op.
"Thank you Principal Ishiyama" Vlad said before he began a long winded speech
Danny took a deep breath as as Vlad made some long winded speech with the principals of the respective schools, making a bunch of whooplah over "school spirit" and "healthy competition".
Once the cheese head finished his so-called speech and answered some questions for the press, Danny sighed as he put a determined look on his face.
It's time for the games to begin!

Next time on TMDDF: Danny and Kara
The Competition Part 2
A/N: Special thanks to Neomark, BeConFuzzled Writer and 61394 for your help. You guys are the best :)
REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewers:
Runeion:You got that right...
UltraPhantom: Since it's been a long time since I've watched either of them, I guess the somewhat jokester version, but he is still suppose to be a rich guy who saves the day with gadgets. You'd understand why Tucker would still admire him too.
qazse: Vlad's ego will be his undoing, in EVERY world.
The Writer's Call, DJ Rodriguez, Blue Marvel 0, ChrisZilla18 and Dreams Come True 996: Thank you :)
Invader Johnny: Uh Huh.
Danifan3000: I hope this answers your question.
Jebest4781: :)
Isom: Sadly, no Penny, but Flash is there, and it's time to see ego vs ego.
Luiz4200: Well, Danny has always been called "Clueless 1" and he IS a C student. As for the capes, remember that Clark and Kara designed their costumes by themselves, rather than go to the superhero fashion designer. Also, LOL on the pen names. May I borrow them?
Leonardo: Thank you for the suggestions. I will think about it.
Frost Hunter: We'll see what happens.
ScarecrowReaper: Good point.
:) I hope you enjoyed this! Remember to read and review :)
