Ch.46: Valerie

Danny dug around in the sandbox, happy to have done a better job than normal with his schoolwork and being let out to play at recess. Currently, he was drawing pictures in the sand, instead of making something such as a sandcastle and etc.

Sam and Tucker were not at school that day, much to Danny's dismay. Sam's parents decided it was time for a 'family outing' and they went to Italy. Tucker had a cold and was stuck at home, unable to go to school.

So the raven-haired boy was left to his own thoughts and playthings.

Looking around the playground and seeing other kids with their friends made Danny long for his own friends even more. Star, Kwan, Dash, and Paulina were all hogging the swings (not so surprisingly though). Nathan and Mikey were sitting at a picnic table, reading their comic books. The class "weirdoes" (as the A-Lister's deemed them), Ash and Bethany, were running around the playground. The two girls were shouting and making weird noises at the other. And other such kids were doing other things.

Scanning the playground again, Danny saw one girl who was sitting against the brick wall of the school, all alone. She had dark cocoa skin and green eyes, like Tucker. She wore a yellow tank-top and orange skirt. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her back in curls with an orange hair-band to keep it out of her face.

Danny remembered her from class. She was new and it was her first day. If he remembered correctly, her name was Valerie.

Seeing as the girl had no one to play with, Danny got up and walked up to her. Valerie looked up at him when he approached and the raven-haired boy stuffed his hands in his pocket.

"Hi. I'm Danny." The raven-haired child introduced, smiling kindly. The girl returned the smile. "I'm Valerie."

"Are you playing with anyone?" Danny asked shyly. The girl shook her head. The boy's grinned widened a fraction. "Would you wanna play with me?"

The girl nodded excitedly and got up. "Yeah! What'dya wanna play?"

Danny shrugged. "I don't know. What do you want to play?"

"Um… Hide-and-seek?"

Danny grinned. "Yeah! I wanna play hide and seek!"

Valerie grinned back. "Alright! You count first!"

Danny's grin wavered because he still had trouble counting but nonetheless agreed and covered his eyes with his hands while Valerie ran off to hide. His counting was off, as usual, but the other girl was too far away to notice. When he got to twenty, he yelled "Ready or not, here I come!" and took off after the dark-haired girl he had become friends with.

A few days later, when both Sam and Tucker came back, Danny was ecstatic for them to the meet the new girl but was crestfallen when he found out Valerie had become part of the A-Lister's the night before.

That was for Bibbledoo, who wanted some Valerie action!

Kadzait: Then you went and made her part of the A-Lister's.

Shut up...

Grava: YES. THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT IDEA. JUST... YES. XD

Guest(1): THAT'S HILARIOUS! We should've gone trick-or-treating together. XD

Skymuse: Ha-ha! I'll check out your story as soon as possible and I hope you've recovered from your sugar-induced migraine. XD

Lexosaurus: WE SHOULD'VE GONE TRICK-OR-TREATING TOGETHER. LIKE I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. XD Can I meet your friends? They sound awesome. I would've just kicked the guy with my combat boots. XD And I feel your resentment to Superman. "Oh, let's make an invicible character with a weakness to an extremely rare ROCK that everyone can get a hold of anyways! HAHAHA!" No... Just... No. BATMAN'S SO MUCH COOLER FOR THAT EXACT REASON. XD And come on... How can you NOT like Superboy?

The Keeper of Worlds: That's nice... I like Prime Danny! XD And for all Danny knows, Wally could be named Edmund and is British in another dimension so you never know. XD

PhantomKnights: Alright-y then! I can remember that! (Kadzait: *runs away, screaming and sobbing*)

Eka-tepac: So glad you love~! XD And speaking that you told me that halfway through the actual story, I feel extremely honored and hope you review again some day. XD

Azorawing: I was hoping someone would say that soon. XD

Ethiopian1987: I have to agree with you on the Batman-thing. He's the only full-human member on the team that strikes fear into the hearts of... Everyone. XD And I'd do your little (awesome) idea but I'm just going to leave that to your imaginations, since everyone wants to see something different. XD

BringbackDannyPhantom: I did have fun, thank you! XD And dressing up like Batman is NOT normal from where I am soooo... XD And who cares what the League thinks when Danny's in charge? :DDDDDDD

GreenDrkness: Klarion and Danny together... The world would end. I'm not even fer-joking you. The world would end. XD

JP-Rider: I'M SO DOING THAT! WE'LL SEE HOW IT GOES! XD

Just Plain Lazy: Ha-ha! Yep, pretty much. Poor Flash... XD
