Danny POV (all the way to the end)

Flashback-

I was alone again at school since Sam and Tucker were hanging out with Phantom fighting some ghosts.

At least Dash or Paulina wasn't at school for the time being, which is thankfully good for me.

Right now, I was reading my textbook that asked us to read when all of a sudden Box Ghost shouted, "Beware!" and it caused everyone in the class to run away.

I didn't though, I just stayed there ignoring the ghost right in front of me.

"Uh, beware?" Box Ghost said, not understanding what was going on.

"Why aren't you running away?" He asked, concerned for some reason.

"Maybe I'm tired of running away?" I replied to Box Ghost, seeing his shocked face emerged.

"Are you sure you're alright? You could've called Phantom and his friends over here," Box Ghost suggested.

"No, I don't feel like it. Go ahead and destroy the school as long as you don't bother me reading my book, Box Ghost," I said emotionlessly.

He looked startled but started flying away from me.

I resumed the text reading until one of my classmates said, "How are you not terrified from the ghost, Danny?!"

"I'm used to it since my parents are the town's 'ghosts freaks,'" I answered their question.

"Alright, class, back to your pages," said, noticing something off about me.

If only he knew that I was going to be in the heat of trouble...

Time skip, after school

As soon as school ended, I was surrounded by some ghosts right in front of me.

More like Ember and Kitty were 'the ghost right in front of me.'

"Hey, Dipstick, how's it goin'?" Ember asked, obviously trying to make Phantom appear right in front of them.

"Nothing much, just being emotionless, that's just all. How are you?" I asked with a little hint of emotion in my voice.

Kitty and Ember were looking at each other with concern before returning to look at me.

"Uh, Danny, you all right?: Kitty asked, touching my face.

"I'm fine, just feeling real low of energy. Phantom's not gonna come and go all protecting on me, girls. Sorry to disappoint you two," I said without thinking.

They got pissed but didn't say anything.

"If you want to know where he is, I don't have the slightest clue. However, you can go and find him if you want," I suggested before walking away.

They didn't stop me and flew away from me.

Once I got home, my parents were there preparing their things for their trip.

I didn't bother to reply that I was home, fully knowing that they'll ignore me just like always.

Once I got to my room, I was about to start on my homework until Johnny 13 appeared and grabbed me.

I wasn't in the mood to struggle, and Johnny 13 pulled me away.

That didn't really surprise me, just that I'm too tired of this bullshit.

Once we arrived at the place, Phantom was too busy fighting Kitty, and Ember was fighting with Sam and Tucker.

"'Oy! Can you all explain why he's not scare?" Johnny said, pissing me off when he asked why I wasn't scared.

Unfortunately for him, they didn't hear him at all, making him pissed.

However, before he could say something, Kitty and Ember were sucked into the Fenton Thermos by Sam.

Then, all of them looked at me, clearly mad.

"What are you doing here?! I thought I told you that you should stay away from us," Phantom said, getting nods from Sam and Tucker.

"Oh no, I'm forced here against my will. Whatever shall I do?" I sarcastically said.

"Danny, don't piss us off. You made that mistake a long time ago, and we're not going to do that again!" Sam said at me with anger in her voice.

"Look, for the last time, I don't know what you're talking about! Even if I did something, you don't have to-"

"No, Sam's right. We're not discussing this again, Fenton," Phantom said harshly.

"Oh, I see. You're still angry at me because of something I, supposedly, did, correct?" I said, with no patience running within me.

"Maybe it would be better to know that you should find yourself a new boyfriend, Phantom. And maybe a better friend that didn't bother betraying you all," I said, tears threatening to fall out.

Of course, I wouldn't let them see it.

I threw Phantom's necklace right at him and told Johnny to take me home.

Phantom tried to say something, but nothing came out of his mouth.

And before I knew it, my connections with Phantom, Sam, and Tucker were cast off forever...

End of flashback...

"And that's what happened. To be fair, I had no idea what they were talking about until they overheard Vlad saying that Plasmius disguises himself as me so that the whole team would go against me. After they found out the truth, they tried to apologize, but I wouldn't let them have it their way," I said with tears running down my face.

Astro sat me down and comforted me while Goth was very pissed at Phantom with his friends.

"Don't worry, we still have enough time before we go home. So, we'll be with you until we leave, Danny," Goth reassured me.

I smiled at him, thanked both of them, before walking from the two to get some water.

I sigh and wiped the tears away from my face.

I guess now that I have two new friends. I'll do anything to protect them, even if it meant sacrificing myself... I thought deeply.

I went out and saw that they were looking at me with concern.

I smiled lightly and said, "How about we play videogames?"
