Hey guys. So, I know it's weird that I'm posting a Halloween chapter in February but sometimes that's just how things work out. Also, in no way does my character's feeling towards Halloween reflect my own. I really enjoy the holiday. Anyway, I don't own anything. Danny Phantom belongs to Nick. Enjoy!


I Hate Halloween

Sasha floated close by and watched as Danny tried to defeat the ghost eel. Danny assured her that it would be an easy ghost to take care of and that he could accomplish it just fine. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and ushered for him to handle it. Ever since he managed to take down Technus in that video game him, Tucker, and Sam played he's gotten pretty cocky. So, she watched and waited for him to be humbled.

"You're one slippery ghost eel, but I bet you don't know this trick!" Danny mocked the eel and sent a green ecto-blast at the ghost. Sasha smirked when the eel simply absorbed the blast. "Ookay… maybe you do." Danny cried out as the ghost eel used the energy it absorbed and shot it back at him, sending Danny falling into the school.

"I hoped you learned your lesson!" Sasha shouted down at Danny before turning back to the ghost. "Okay, time to take care of you."

Summoning up some shadows she entrapped the eel in a carefully woven net. With the ghost not being able to escape Sasha took aim with her containment unit and sucked it inside. With the job done Sasha flew back down into the school, heading to a deserted hall in order to transform back into her human form. Back to blending in Sasha searched the hallways to find Danny, wanting to check in on him after being blasted by the eel. She managed to find him along with Tucker, Sam, and a paint-stained Dash.

"This is great! I am going to totally kick his butt!" Danny said to Sam and Tucker excited.

"What is he talking about?" Sasha asked.

"Lancer busted Danny and Dash fighting and decided that they're gonna compete to see who makes the better haunted house," Sam explained.

"Oh," Sasha grimaced.

"You think so, Fen-tons-o-fun? How about a little side bet?" Dash dared.

"Sure," Danny accepted. "If I win you have to run through the school parking lot in your underwear!"

"Okay. And when you taste defeat you have to eat these!" Dash said and pulled out a pair of torn, dirty underwear. The four backed away in horror.

"I don't know what's scarier. The underwear, or the fact he carries them around in his coat!" Tucker commented.

"How is he the guy that practically every girl in school falls for?" Sasha questioned, disgusted.

o

Team Phantom Shadow agreed to meet up in Danny's room after school to help in brain storm ideas for his haunted house room. Sasha and Tucker sat there bored, Sasha more annoyed, as Danny presented them with idea after idea. So far, none of them were working.

"How about this?" Danny asked before going into his ghost form and diving into his bed. Sasha and Tucker watched as Danny's bed sheet rose up, still unimpressed. "Wheee-oooo…"

Sam walked into the room and passed Danny without a second glance. "Lame," she commented.

"Oh man," Danny sighed as he transformed back into his human form, sitting down on his bed disheartened. "Halloween's a week away and I still don't have a clue what I'm gonna do for my haunted house room."

"Which is why I picked this up at the old bookshop where I like to skulk and lurk," Sam told them, pulling out a book from her backpack and presenting it to her friends.

"'Chronicles of the Fright Knight'?" Danny read.

Sasha and Tucker gathered around Danny as he opened the book to read through it. "He's the age-old spirit of Halloween. Legend has it that if his sword, 'The Soul Shredder', cuts through you, you get teleported to a dimension where you live out your worst fear," Sam explained.

A bad feeling developed in Sasha's gut as they looked through the book. When they came upon a map of the Fright Knight's Lair Danny paused and reached into his nightstand. What he pulled out was the map he was making of the Ghost Zone. He held his map up to the made in the book.

"Look familiar?" Danny asked.

"It matches the map we've been making of the Ghost Zone!" Tucker observed.

"This is great! He's a ghost and he's the spirit of Halloween? That means I can take the best ideas from this guy and fuse them into my haunted house room!" Danny said excited.

"No!" Sasha protested.

"No? What do you mean no?" Sam questioned.

"Don't you know how dangerous this is? God, things like this is why I hate Halloween," Sasha answered.

"How can you hate Halloween?" Tucker asked confused.

"In case you haven't noticed every day is Halloween when you're fighting ghosts. And it only gets worse on the actually holiday when people try and invoke more ghosts because they think it would be 'fun'. Well let me tell you, it's not fun. It makes my life a living nightmare. You trying to invoke the actually spirit of Halloween screams disaster," Sasha explained.

"Come on, Sasha, you're blowing this out of proportion," Danny said.

"And you're underestimating ghosts again. You did this with the ghost eel earlier today," Sasha fought back.

"Would you suggest I do then?" Danny asked, getting a bit frustrated.

"I don't know. Maybe try a play off the witches' scene from Macbeth. Lancer curses in book titles so I'm sure that he's be impressed if you make a room around that. Just please don't do something with ghosts," Sasha suggested, becoming equally as frustrated.

"I'm not gonna bet Dash with that! The only way I can win this is if I use the Fright Knight," Danny argued.

"Fine, then count me out of it!" Sasha snapped and stood up, grabbing her backpack.

"Where are you going?" Sam asked, worried about her friend.

"To do some research for when I have to clean up his mess," Sasha answered, referring to Danny, and then stormed out of the room. Sam and Tucker shared a worried look while Danny glared at Sasha as she left.

o

For the rest of the week Sasha and Danny tried their best to ignore each other. Sure, they still hung out with Sam and Tucker, which made it extremely uncomfortable for the two. For the most part though it was pretty easy for them to ignore each other with Sasha being busy with research in the library while Danny was trying to build his room in the haunted house. Sam and Tucker split up at this time to make sure that their friends were okay, Sam going with Danny while Tucker went with Sasha. The two of them tried to poke and prod Sasha and Danny to apologize to each other but after multiple glares they quieted down.

When the week was up Tucker dragged Sasha to the place where Danny had been setting up his haunted room. She stood with him and Sam, her arms crossed unimpressed and annoyed, as Danny presented the room to them. The room was pretty much set up exactly like the Fright Knight's throne room as displayed in Sam's book but it definitely had that… homemade feeling towards it. Trying to show off the room even more Danny went ghost and overshadowed the Fright Knight model which was placed on the makeshift throne.

"I AM THE FRIGHT KNIGHT! TREMBLE BEFORE THE SOUL SHREDDER!" Danny exclaimed in a gruff voice as he tried to embody the Fright Knight. Sasha's eyes hardened as she watched Danny waving around the 'Soul Shredder'. "It slices, it dices, it creates you worst fear! Now, how much would ya pay?"

"For this thing?" Tucker questioned unimpressed. "About 59 cents. Now if you'll excuse me I'm a little late to start scamming some free candy." As Danny returned the Fright Knight doll to the throne Tucker pulled out his PDA. "Got my route planned out for OCP, Optimum Chocolate Payload. You want to stay clear of the red zone. Nothing but fresh fruit and granola bars in the red zone."

"So where's your costume?" Sam asked.

In response to Sam's question he pulled out a pair of glasses with a big nose out of his pumpkin bag and put them on. "Wow, that's pretty pathetic, and that's coming from the poor girl who made costumes out of trash," Sasha commented.

"But I thought you hated Halloween," Danny remarked snidely.

"Believe it or not I did try to be normal before idiots decided to make my life harder by summoning up ghosts," Sasha snapped back.

Backing out of the argument that was beginning to flare up Tucker headed towards the door only to be hit with green foam, causing him to get knocked backward. The source of the green foam entered the scene as Jack and Maddie came running in with a bazooka.

"Haha! Look at that, baby! The Fenton Foamer works like a charm!" Jack celebrated.

"I know! There was a ghost reading in this very room seconds ago, and now the room is clean!" Maddie gushed.

"Speak for yourself," Tucker commented as foam dripped from his body. "If anybody needs me I'll be in a different doorway every 38 seconds."

"Isn't he a little old to be walking around in public in a stupid costume?" Jack wondered out loud as Tucker left.

"Mom? Dad? What are you doing?" Danny asked.

"Decontaminating the area, son!" Maddie answered.

"You know how ecto-storms always flare up around Halloween, Danny," Jack said.

"Yeah, Danny, you should know this," Sasha smirked, happy that his parents were providing her right.

Danny sent a glare at Sasha before turning back to his parents. "This is all riveting, and by riveting I mean dull with a capital 'D', but you guys need to leave before Lancer thinks you're helping me," Danny told them

"Lancer? Hey, this isn't some sort of anti-detention project, is it?" Jack questioned his son.

"No! No, no, no!" Danny denied while pushing his parents to the door. "Um, I'm just starting to get interested in ghosts, like my old man!"

"Finally! If I didn't consider it a sign of weakness I'd weep with joy!" Jack smiled proudly, buying Danny's lie. With the Fenton's satisfied with Danny's answer they left to go protect the town from any ghosts.

"Wow, three people telling you the dangers of ghosts on Halloween and yet you still chose to set this up. Really nice, Danny," Sasha commented.

"What are you still doing here then, Sasha, if you're so opposed to everything?" Danny asked annoyed.

"I didn't do all my research for nothing. I'm here for when the inevitable shit hits that fan and I must come to the rescue. But since I'm obviously not wanted I guess I'll just go wait in a different room," Sasha replied bitterly. She headed out the door and went next door to an untouched room.

o

Sasha sat in a chair humming a melody that she had been working on, trying to pass time. Part of her felt bad about the whole thing, mainly regarding pulling Tucker and Sam along with her and Danny's fight, but also because she needed to be so against Danny. The Fright Knight was a good idea to create fear but she couldn't stand behind him on this, it was too dangerous. Sasha's thoughts were interrupted as the door to the room opened and Sam walked in.

"There you are, I was looking for you," she said as she went to take a seat next to Sasha. "What are you doing in here."

"Just working on a song for Nova," Sasha answered. There was a quiet moment between the two for a moment before Sasha spoke up again. "I'm sorry for dragging you and Tucker into this."

"It's alright," Sam replied, fiddling with the Fright Knight book in her hand.

"Still reading that?" Sasha asked.

"Yeah, after what you told us about invoking the Fright Knight I thought it would be a good idea to read up on him incase things go bad. I want to support Danny because he's my friend but you know more about these things than I do," Sam explained.

Sasha sighed. "I just hope this whole thing blows over soon. I don't like being mad at Danny," she admitted. "I mean, he deserves me being angry at him but… I mean all three of you are my friends but…"

"You and Danny share a special connection because both of you are half-ghost. Is that it?" Sam finished.

"Yeah," Sasha admitted.

"I'm sure you two will make up after this is all over," Sam assured Sasha.

"Thanks. Thanks for coming to check on me. You're a really great friend, Sam," Sasha said, reaching over and giving Sam a quick hug. "You better head back to Danny, be the supportive friend."

"Let's hope you don't have to come and rescue us," Sam smiled and then headed out of the door, back towards Danny's haunted room.

"Yeah… let's hope," Sasha muttered to herself.

o

It was twenty minutes after Sam left that Sasha began to feel the effects of ghostly powers seeping through the house and into the town. Standing up she identified the strongest point of this energy was coming from Danny's room. Sasha looked at her bracelet. Pressing a button Sasha became confused when her bracelet said that there weren't any ghosts present in the building. Concerned Sasha ran towards Danny's room to see Lancer trapped in a giant spider web and a sword emitting a ghostly energy into the sky.

"…I'll toss the sword back into the Ghost Zone," Sasha overheard Danny say as he talked to Sam.

"The sword? Please tell me you didn't take the Soul Shredder," Sasha asked Danny, surprising both him and Sam. Danny opened his mouth to try and lie but before he could the real Fright Knight came bursting down through the roof, riding on his horse, Nightmare, with Tucker laying in his lap.

"Hmm! That's one fancy flaming robot," Lancer commented, thinking it was all a part of Danny's room.

"Danny! Sasha! Whatever you do, don't let him get the sword!" Tucker warned.

"Silence, whelp!" the Fright Knight commanded before tossing him right into the spider web.

"Tucker!" Sasha and Danny cried out worried.

Danny replied by aiming the Fenton Foamer at the Fright Knight while Sasha transformed and headed straight towards the sword. She knew from all her research how bad things would get if the Fright Knight retrieved his sword. Unfortunately for her the Fright Knight thought the same thing and headed towards it as well. They met at the sword but it was the Fright Knight's strength that managed to pull the sword from the floorboards, throwing Sasha back.

"That's certainly exciting, but is it scary?" Lancer pondered, angering the Fright Knight. With sword in hand the Fright Knight swung his sword at Lancer, causing him to disappear. Tucker let out a scream as the sword managed to get him as well before disappearing.

"Tucker? Mr. Lancer? What'd you do to them?" Danny demanded from the Fright Knight.

"I sent him to where all who feel the sting of my blade are sent: a dimension where his worst fears come to life!" the Fright Knight answered.

"YES! This contest is so mine!" Danny cheered.

"Is that seriously what you're thinking about right now?" Sasha questioned annoyed as she transformed.

Feeling both the glares from Sasha and Sam Danny transformed as well as he and Sasha teamed up to take out the Fright Knight. Both of them charged at the Fright Knight, taking extra care to avoid the slashing of this sword.

"Listen to the sound of your doom!" the Fright Knight bellowed, as the outside world turned more and more into chaos. "Soon, my storm shall consume this planet. The world will be forever transformed! And no one can stop me!"

"I refuse to let that happen," Sasha growled.

Changing her tactics Sasha disappeared into the floor and then appeared behind the Fright Knight. Using the element of surprise Sasha tackled the Fright Knight, causing his sword to be knocked from his hand. The blade bounced across the floor before landed a distance away from the two. The Fright Knight tossed Sasha off him, flinging her into a wall which she hit hard.

"Ugh!" Sasha groaned before sliding to the ground.

As the Fright Knight got up to run towards the sword Danny flew ahead and beat him to it. Angered with his hands in another's hands the Fright Knight charged at him. "How in the world can we beat this guy?!" Danny exclaimed as he dodged the Knight's attacks.

"The book says something about a pumpkin," Sam told him, flipping through the pages, searching for the information.

"But we don't have any pumpkins! Isn't that ironic," Danny replied, murmuring the last part to himself.

As she recovered from the Fright Knight's blow Sasha noticed Tucker's pumpkin bucket lying on the floor, the candy melted so much so that it no longer could act as a bucket.

"Danny! Toss me the sword! I can end this!" she called out.

"But we need a pumpkin!" Danny replied.

"Just trust me on this! Please!" Sasha begged.

Guilt filled Danny's eyes. She warned him about this. She warned him that messing with ghost stuff on Halloween would lead to disaster. And she was right. She'd been right about everything. After yelling at her and blatantly doing it anyway Sasha was still here, trying to save them from the mess he created. It was finally time to listen to his friend. Determined, Danny sent a blast at the Fright Knight, sending the ghost flying back far enough for Danny to get Sasha the sword. He then went into protective mode so, fighting back against the Fright Knight so that Sasha could finish this. Not wasting anytime Sasha ran to Tucker's pumpkin, saying the incantation she researched.

"To cease the storm
To end the fear
The sword must sheathe
In pumpkin near!" Sasha recited and then plunged the sword into the pumpkin.

Sasha was blown back as a powerful green energy came forth from the pumpkin. Danny caught his friend, saving her from another painful landing. The Fright Knight looked on in horror when he realized what was happening.

"Trick and treat, bucket head!" Danny mocked the ghost.

"No!" the Fright Knight cried out desperate and he ran to the pumpkin, trying to pull the sword out to no avail.

The green light flashed, knocking the Fright Knight away and causing him to land on the floor. Sasha held onto Danny's arm as his grip on her tightened. The two exchanged a glance, hoping that it would work. A smile appeared on the pumpkin as green flashes of lightning sparked out of it. Nightmare, the Fright Knight's horse, whinnied in fear as it was sucked upwards into an ominous green vortex up high in the sky above the house. Sasha, Danny, and Sam smiled.

"It's sucking everything into the Ghost Zone! It's working!" Sam cheered before she began to be pulled up towards the vortex.

"Sam!" Danny and Sasha cried out.

Reaching up the two grabbed each of Sam's arms and pulled her back down to the floor. Thinking fast Sasha called her powers over shadows. The shadows came up from the ground below their feet and wrapped around the three, gluing them to the floor. Sasha, Danny, and Sam clung to each other as they watched as the Fright Knight's chaos was pulled into the vortex. The Fright Knight desperately tried to cling to the floor, trying to escape the vortex's pull. Seeing this Sasha sent a blast of light at him, causing the Fright Night to lose his grip and fly up.

"I will have my vengeance! Mark my words!" he swore to them before disappearing.

With the Fright Knight gone the column of green light coming from the pumpkin thinned until it was no more. With everything gone the pumpkin with the sword disappeared itself, returning everything back to normal. Sasha released her and her friends from her shadowy hold now that everything was over. Suddenly, Tucker popped back into the room. Seeing this Sasha and Danny transformed back into their human forms as Lancer soon rejoined them as well. Sasha, Danny, and Sam put on the innocent act as Mr. Lancer approached them.

"Mr. Fenton, I have to say that was the most horrifying thing I have ever seen," Lancer told him. "You win!"

"Haha! Yes!" Danny cheered.

The four watched as Lancer exited out of the room, relieved. Even with his victory, though, shame filled Danny's eyes realizing how much bad he'd done. He quickly ran out of the room to try and catch up with Lancer.

"Please tell me he's not going to tell Lancer he doesn't deserve to win," Sasha said deadpanned to the others. Receiving no response Sasha sighed. "Alright, let's go save his butt for the second time tonight." Sam and Tucker nodded. They ran out of the room, Sam grabbing the Fenton Foamer as they left, meeting up with Danny as he confessed to Lancer.

"Well I borrowed, uh, stole, some of my parent's technology," Danny 'admitted' to Lancer.

"You mean like this?" Sam spoke up, drawing their attention to her, Sasha, Tucker and the Fenton Foamer in her arms.

"The problem with the Fenton Foamer is that even though it cleanses ghostly energy - according to the Fentons - it unfortunately causes a psychosomatic reaction in whoever's exposed to it, causing them to experience their worst fear," Sasha said, coming up with an explanation.

"Yeah! That!" Danny agreed.

"Daniel, the good news for you is I don't care. I have two scary rooms and it's midnight! Let the party begin!" Lancer told Danny, not caring about what he used in his room.

The happy atmosphere changed when Maddie and Fenton came charging in. "Nobody move!" the two ordered. Lancer, Sasha, Sam, Danny, and Tucker let out a cry as the five of them got covered in green foam.

"I hate Halloween," Sasha muttered to herself.

o

Lancer changed his mind and declared Dash the winner after being made fun of by the school faculty. Sasha left, not wanting to watch Danny get scolded by his parents. After everything that happened all she wanted was a nice hot shower and to slip into bed. Sasha rewarded herself by sleeping in and relaxing throughout the weekend. It was Monday morning at school when she saw her friends again. Before lunch, Danny stopped her at her locker.

"Sasha, I… I'm sorry. You were right about the whole Fright Knight thing. And if it weren't for you the Fright Knight would have taken over. I should have listened to you. I'm sorry," he apologized.

Sasha smiled softly. Maybe it was the fact that Halloween was over or the fact that she got a nice weekend to herself but Sasha simply accepted. "Apology accepted," she told him. Happy that their arguing had come to an end Sasha pulled Danny into a hug. "Just try to listen next time."

"I'll try," Danny chuckled.

"Hey, Fenton!" Sasha and Danny split to see Dash calling out, holding up his dirty pair of underwear. Both of them grimaced seeing the dirty, worn, garment. "Time to eat up!" Dash burst into cruel laughter imagining Danny's pain.

"Great," Danny muttered, not looking forward to living up to his end of their bet.

Feeling sorry for her friend, Sasha turned towards Dash. Seeing as he was still distracted with laughter, Sasha shot an ecto-ray at the underwear, turning it to ash. Dash looked at his now empty hand, astonished and angry that he wasn't going to see Danny eat his underwear.

"Crap! Look like you're getting out of this Fenton, but next time you won't be as lucky," Dash warned Danny before storming into the lunchroom.

"Wow, looks like you saved me again," Danny said to Sasha.

"Hey, that's what friends are for," Sasha smiled. "Now come on, I'm pretty hungry and luckily your lunch plans just got cleared up." The two of them laughed as they headed into the lunchroom.


Thanks for reading. Be sure to leave me a review and a crazy "So Tell Me About Yourself" answer. And be sure to check out my profile for character designs and my writing schedule.

"So Tell Me About Yourself" is an inside joke between me and my friends which started from my one friend's hatred for the typical getting-to-know-you question "So tell me about yourself". She, being so annoyed with the phrase, gave a silly answer that she murdered people in their sleep. When she brought it back to me and my other friend we both gave a silly answer. That is where the idea for my account name came from.
