Chapter 3: Interruptions Begin

Tucker was standing there, ticked off. He had his arms crossed and foot was tapping. It was 12:30 and the most interesting thing was a hot girl, who he was too far away to hear calling out, making the boys let her but in line.

"Man… I could've made a move…" He muttered to himself. That's when he saw Sam running towards him, making his sigh with frustration. "Hey, Sam?" He asked once she arrived. "You know what I wanted to do today? Sleep… play games… maybe catch a movie. Spying on Danny isn't one of them…

"We're not spying, Tucker!" Sam snapped. "We're keeping him safe!"

"From what? Getting Frenched by Star?"

Sam punched him in the arm, making him hold onto his arm to soothe the pain.

"Did you get the tickets or not?!" Tucker held them up. Sam took one. "Finally… Let's go!"

She ran towards the entrance.

"You're welcome…" He muttered.

"Oh and… thanks!" Sam remembered, bring a small smile to Tucker's face.


"Seriously?" Star questioned with a smile.

"I'm telling you, it's true." Danny responded.

He and Star are having lunch. They were having burgers with fries and Danny brought up how he sometimes dips his fries in milkshakes as opposed to ketchup.

"That seems… kinda weird." Star said with an amused smile.

"You live in Amity Park, where ghosts are a confirmed thing and most of them are supervillains. It's not that weird." Danny said.

Star shrugged. "Fair point." She picked up one of her fries. She dipped it and put the fry in her mouth, covered in Danny's chocolate shake. "Hmm…" She smiled. "Wow, you're right! It's the right blend of salty and sweet."

"Told you." Danny said.


While Star and Danny were enjoying themselves, Colette had arrived to the water park, wearing a brand knew sundress over her new swimsuit, which she was waiting to be unveiled at the right time.

The Parisian girl looked around and frowned critically at the area.

"Hmpt... you'd think they would at least come someplace... superior... Whatever. Now to find them and charm Danny..." Colette thought as she looked around.


Meanwhile, Kwan and Paulina have gotten in via the latter having using her father's money to bribe their way in faster.

Once in, and changing into their swimming gear, they looked around.

"Those two are in here somewhere…" Paulina said with disgust. "Once we find that traitor for turning the school against us, we'll destroy her…" She snarled with her face turning red.

"Sure thing… let's find Mr. and Mrs. Fenturd…" Dash said. However, he was distracted when two young women in swimsuits walked past him as he and Kwan drooled over them. "Right after we get their numbers."

Both of them walked after them, leaving Paulina to groan.

"Boys…"


Having changed and left moments before Dash and his supposed friends came, Sam and Tucker walked around looking for Danny and Star.

Tucker grinned at the two girls who walked past him.

"Ladies…" He said in a suave tone and pointed at them.

Sam grabbed one of his ears and pulled him.

"We're not here to have fun!" She snapped. "Now come on!"

"Correction! You're not here to have fun! I came because you had your allowance cut for a week for breaking that table." Tucker reminded.

Sam let go of his ear, groaning audibly and just continues looking around for the two. She stopped and gasped as she pulled Tucker behind the fountain.

"There they are!" She pointed towards the patio where many people, including the two, were eating. Sam pulled out a pair of binoculars and observed them from afar. She saw Star smiling and laughing, making her blood boil. "There they-" She panned to the right, seeing Danny was topless and his chest was exposed, making her blush hard and put the binoculars down. "Oh my gosh!"

Tucker looked surprised. "What?!"

Sam lifted her sunglasses and covered her eyes with her arm.

"Danny's not wearing a shirt…"

Tucker took the binoculars and looked. He saw Danny without a shirt, then he looked to the left to see Star in her swimsuit.

"Whoa!" Tucker grinned. "I forgot how she looks in that thing! Nice…"

Sam slapped Tucker in the back of the head for that.


Once they finished their food, Star looked to see a frozen yogurt vendor around the area. She smiled.

"Well… how about dessert?" She suggested.

Danny saw the vendor and smiled.

"Anything you'd like, milady?"

Star giggled. "One chocolate-vanilla swirl, milord." She said. "That's not going to be a pet name, by the way."

"One delicious dessert for a beautiful maiden and a kiwi-fudge for me, coming right up!" Danny said as he walked to the vendor.

This left Star thinking of a pet name. She had an idea.

"Kiwi fudge!" She suggested, only to shake her head. "No, that's too much of an inside joke…"

Sam and Tucker saw Danny get up and leave, making the Goth pull her friend out.

"They're apart, now's our chance!"

"To do what, exactly?" Tucker asked, prefering to ogle Star from a distance than get involved in a cat fight.

"To make her stay away from him!" She snapped as she pulled him.

They didn't see Danny walking several feet away, but someone else did, and passing people were blocking Star's view.

It was Colette.

Soon she found whom she was looking for, Danny...all by himself by the frozen yogurt stand.

This iz most perfect... Colette thought mischievously as she went to make her move.

Danny had just paid for his and Star's frozen yogurt.

"Chocolate-vanilla swirl for Star...Kiwi fudge for me..." Danny said in a pleased way as he was about to go back to his girlfriend, who was waiting for him by the dining area, though too many people walking by were blocking him..

"Oh, Mon Amour...is that you?" A french accented voice called, one that aggravated the boy.

Oh no, please tell me she is not here... Danny thought in dismay as he turned around and groaned at who is here and tried not to focus on her current state of dress.

It's Star's step sister, Colette… wearing a golden bikini that left little to the imagination but Danny wasn't focusing on that.

He was too busy glaring at her.

"Colette?' Danny asked in dismay.

"Danny? Mon Amour? This iz sure is… as you say… a coincidence, iz it not, Mon Amour?" Colette said as she tried to saunter walk towards him.

Danny sighed miserably. "What I wouldn't give for the Ghost King to break free right now…" He muttered under his breath.

While Danny was cursing his luck, Colette noticed what he was wearing… or rather what's he wasn't wearing now.

He's shirtless and Colette saw him like this.

Ooh la la… Colette thought before speaking.

"Why Danny...you are looking...as the Americans say… so hot..." Colette said in a flirtatious as she reached for him, only for Danny to dodge her.

"Hey! Hands off!" Danny shouted.

Colette saw the swirl and smiled.

"Ah, you have bought a delicious treat for me? I am flattered."

"It's Star's! Now, if you'll excuse me, my girlfriend is waiting for me!"

Danny turned, but too many people were in the way.

I'll have to go around somehow…

Meanwhile, unaware of Danny's plight, Sam was hiding behind a column supporting the patio above Star. Tucker was just standing next to her, not even bothering to hide.

"What are you doing?!" She whispered harshly.

"Sam… I just want to have fun. I went along with Valerie when that happened, but now it's gone too far." He said. "I may not like Star…" He then had an interested smirk. "Though the swimsuit does alter my opinion…" Sam gave him a dirty look before he dropped the smirk. "But she's not a threat to Danny."

Before Sam could express annoyance, she saw Star see something that made her upset as she got up and walked.

"She's going away!" Sam said, getting up and walking fast towards her.

She's too late, Star entered the passing people and Sam couldn't find her way through. She groaned angrily.

Tucker walked up to Sam.

"So… can we at least eat now?" His stomach rumbled.

Sam glared daggers at him.

"Danny's with her and you're thinking abou-" Her stomach grumbled, causing her to drop her anger and looked annoyed with herself. "Fine…"

She walked defeated towards the line to order food, with a relieved Tucker following.

They couldn't see Danny with another girl, who was trying to get a hand on his chest.

"Mon amour… why not come with me into a slide?"

"Only one person for ride!" Danny argued as he kept stepping back.

"I'm sure we can… convince them. I can just say I'm scared and need someone with me…" Colette said, batting her eyes. "What say you, mes petits yeux bleus?"

"Huh?" Danny asked, not knowing enough French.

Colette giggled. "That is French for "my little blue eyes..." because you have very nice blue eyes." She said as she inched closer to him by acting coy.

"Step off, black eyes."

To his relief, Danny saw Star glaring at Colete with her fists and her hips.

Colette looked annoyed to see her, but also confused.

"Estelle, I do not have black eyes…"

"You will if you don't stop hitting on Danny…" She threatened.

Colette turned around, scoffing as she walked away with hands at her back. She then stopped to look over her shoulder to give a flirtatious smile at Danny.

"Au revoir, mon amour!" She winked as she resumed her walk.

Her nostrils flaring with rage, Star saw her swirl and took it, eating it fast to calm herself down.

"I can't believe she'd follow me here!" She said. "She overheard me talk with you over the phone yesterday…"

Danny tried to calm his mind by tasting his kiwi fudge.

"Thanks… she was trying to touch my chest."

"Well, too bad." She stated. "As long as we're dating, you're off limits to her."

"I don't think she cares…" Danny admitted.

He saw how Star was licking her frozen yogurt, with a notable sad and unhappy expression.

It's not fair… even though Danny doesn't want her, she's obsessed with messing with me.

Danny wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead, helping her feel better.

"I still think you're more beautiful than her…"

She melted in his arm and had a loving smile.

"Thank you…"

The two of them walked back to their seats together, still eating their treats, taking Danny's shirt from his seat and their towels before they left.


After another 10 minutes of walking, the two on a date find a ride they want in on.

"The Tube Runner!" Danny said. "The fastest tube-based ride in the tr-city area that's legally accepted…"

Star giggled. "Are you there spokesperson?" Danny shrugged. "Looks long though…"

"Yeah… should we come back later?"

"Yeah, you might be right. I think I saw a vending machine at that little rest area we passed. Maybe we can grab a drink there?"

"Sure. I'm still thirsty from those fries."

They both went to that very spot. Since it's a bit of a hot day, it was relaxing to have a roof over them with a few ceiling fans giving extra cool air.

Danny walked up to the machine and pulled out some quarters.

"Anything you want?"

"Maybe a lemonade." Star said. As Danny put quarters in, she wanted to ask as soon as she was sure nobody was around. "Question, have you ever stolen anything from a vending machine with your powers?"

"No… not on purpose." Danny answered.

"On purpose?" Star asked.

"Let's just say my first week inadvertently made all of the chocolate chip cookies and microwavable french pizzas go missing… until Tucker ate them."

"Huh…" Star remembered that week. She wanted one of those pizzas, only for Danny and his friends to walk by moments later and it disappeared. "So that's where it went…"

Danny handed the first drink, her lemonade, to her.

"For you." He said with a suave tone.

Star giggled while trying to stifle with her hand. "Thank you, Sweet Danny." As she took it, she thought about what she called him. "Hmm, Sweet Danny? That sounds too cutesy…"

Danny was about to plop more quarters in, but then he's pushed to the floor by someone. This made Star gasp.

"Hey, Star…" Dash said with a grin, leaning on the machine.

Star, and Danny, sent dirty looks at him.

"Dash?! What are you doing here?"

"Just thought I'd have some fun here… then I saw you and decided to come see you." He said in a fake friendly tone.

"Well… you saw me. Now Danny and I are leaving…"

She was about to help Danny up, but Dash held a hand out.

"Whoa, Star! I came to tell you that I'm sorry…"

Star stopped in her tracks.

"What?!"

"I'm sorry… I didn't realize how awesome you are. You're right to bring up how awful we were…" Dash was clearly lying through his teeth, and Star clearly wasn't falling for it. "Let me make it up to you… Come back to the A-List, and you can take Paulina's place by being my girlfriend… Ditch Fenturd for me!"

Star glared at him venomously.

"Forget it Dash! Even if this wasn't so obviously a ruse, you're an annoying idiot! I always thought that and even Paulina does! We only put up with for your football skills!"

"WHAT?!" Dash dropped his friendly act.

"Yeah... she's right..." Paulina's reluctant voice said.

Star looked back, seeing Kwan was holding a water gun in his hands with Paulina holding a water balloon in hers.

"You were supposed to wait for her to say yes then humiliate her in front of everyone!" Dash shouted.

"Well… I can't say she's wrong!" Paulina argued back.

"Why would I say yes, anyway?" Star asked. "You're terrible…"

Danny was getting up, smiling at Star showing these people what they deserve. That was, until, he happened to notice the ceiling fan above her seemed to be lowering.

Wait… is that…

"And furthermore!" Star said, pointing her finger at Kwan and Paulina in a chastising tone. "Water balloons and a water gun? We're at a water park, dummies! What's next, you're going to ruin a barbecue by bringing steaks?"

"Oh… that's not water, if you catch my drift…" Dash said with a smirk.

Star winced.

"Eww… how mature…" She sassed.

Paulina's eyes widened at that admission.

"Wait.. if this is not water, then what-" She realized what that means. "EWW!"

She dropped the balloon, letting it pop. Some of its contents splatter and she backs away in disgust.

Danny didn't pay attention to that, only the ceiling fan lowering again.

Paulina stormed off, annoyed that she was holding something like that. Dash and Kwan followed her.

"Wait! Come back!" Kwan begged.

"We can try a different way at revenge!" Dash shouted.

"The nerve of them…" Star said with her hands at her hips and her head shaking.

"Look out!" Danny ran and pushed Star out of the way in time for the ceiling fan to fall.

It broke to pieces, getting people's attention.

Star, having just seen it happen, stared wide eyed at it.

"Whoa… thanks, Danny." She said with a smile.

"Anytime…" He answered.

"Then anytime is a good time for this…"

She kissed him on the lips for a proper thanks, which he returned as a proper your welcome.


After a few minutes, a repairman was observing the fan and the park manager came to speak to the two.

"Apologies, miss… I thought for sure the install guy did his job right." He pulled out two passes. "Here, these are passes to get past all the lines. Free for the whole day, on the house. Consider it an apology."

"Wow… thank you, sir." Star took them. Once the manager walked away, she showed them to Danny. "Check out! We can ride any ride we want, no lines!" She noticed Danny wasn't paying attention to that, but where the fan once hung. "Danny?"

"Excuse me, Star. I gotta check something…"

Danny walked around the corner, leaving Star a bit confused.

With no one watching, he morphed and turned invisible. Once he did, he flew to observe where the fan fell. What he saw confirmed his suspicions.

"I was right…" He whispered.

Once he found a spot to turn human and return to Star, she had to ask.

"Where'd you go?"

"Nowhere, I came back as Danny Phantom and saw where the fan fell invisible."

"Danny, come on. It was an accident, like the manager said." Star assured.

"That's what he wants you to think, probably afraid you'd think it was intentional. I saw the wires and the holes. That fan didn't tear from poor installation… someone cut it free and undid the screws.."

Star's eyes widened. She looked horrified.

"What?"

They both looked back at the fan, realizing someone intended them harm.


Uh oh... someone is up to something bad.

While Sam and Tucker fail to do anything, Colette and the A-listers aren't going to give up.

To make matters worse, someone is out to do much worst than prank them or ruin their relationship.

Who could it be?

All we know is their day isn't over yet.

And yes, I'm intentionally calling back to Lucky In Love with this story.

biginferno: Possibly, not sure yet.

Invader Johnny: Someone apparently wants to break them up... physically.

Luiz4200: This is set before they met her in Stuck, so they won't meet up.

Jebest4781: I always wanted to do a story with Star as the love interest (in fact if I could bring the show back and make it last a few more seasons, I'd make her his girlfriend after character development) And yes, I do wish to do more with TMDDF, and Sailor Jupiter is someone I'd love to write someday.
