"Yes," she answered without a second thought. Not only was this the town hero but this was her Danny. She could trust him. This was her chance, she thought. This was her chance to get to hang out with Danny alone. Maybe even get to learn more about this other side of him.
Of course she can't just come right out and say, "Hey Danny you know that secret that you were trying to keep from me? Well I figured it out!" That's not exactly what someone would say if they discovered a secret, let alone one this big. She respected the fact that he didn't want to tell her yet. It had only been two months since they first met. She hadn't even told him about her powers, yet. She was seriously considering telling the three of her friends, assuming Sam and Tucker knew about Danny which she was guessing they did. After all, if they could keep a secret like this quiet, she could trust them with her's right? A secret for a secret.
Elsa gladly took Phantom's hand as an acceptance of his invitation, excited about the flight now that she knew it was Danny she was flying with. Phantom then scooped her up into his arms and took off.
Danny couldn't believe it. He actually had Elsa in his arms! She gave a little squeal of surprise when he suddenly took off. "Sorry I should've warned you about that."
The surprise only made Elsa grip Danny's shoulders tighter, making her feel the lean muscles under his tight suit. Well, she thought, I guess ghost hunting really does pay off. "I-Its fine," she replied, hesitating when she realized just how close their bodies were.
She finally looked up a took in her surroundings. In the distance she could make out the faint line of the horizon with only a small amount of light coming from the sun that set only moments ago, creating light stainings of pink in the sky, standing out in the inky darkness.
Stars.
The stars were especially bright tonight, Elsa thought. They shone against the dark landscape, making her smile in delight. She let out a small noise of astonishment when she looked down. She never thought a nice small town like Amity Park could be so beautiful at night. Lights shined from street lights and houses, dotting the ground with yellow.
Elsa's small noise made Danny look down at her. The smile on her face made him melt on the inside. Her glacier blue eyes glowed in the starlight. A small smile found its way onto his face when he noticed her looking at the stars. Elsa relaxed more into Danny's arms and leaned her head on his shoulder. Danny's face immediately burned a bright red.
"Hey… uh… do you wanna try something cool?" he suddenly asked her.
She looked up at him, slightly confused, before muttering a small, "Sure."
"Hang on."
Phantom zoomed ahead, almost 10 times the speed they were going before. He zoomed, dropped , zig zagged, and loopty looped. At first Elsa was terrified, but as Phantom started to make a pattern with his acrobatics, she got used to the sudden drops and turns. She was having fun. It was that first time in forever since she felt so exhilarated, so alive. The cool night air whipped at her hair, pushing it back. She giggled with glee at the feeling. She loved it!
Eventually Danny slowed his speed back to what it was before, smiling like crazy.
"Wow that is some stress reliever!" Elsa said, "I could stay up here forever."
"Yeah, I wish…" Danny flew by the clock tower at the city hall building. The clock said 9:30.
Shoot! He had to get home. His parents would kill him if he stayed out past his curfew. But he didn't want Elsa out of his arms. He liked holding her, but he had to get home.
"Well, it's getting pretty late. I should probably take you home now."
"Okay…" she responded, but she didn't want this flight to end. It was fun.
Phantom turned and flew back in the direction of Elsa's house.
In no time, they reached her balcony. He put her down gently. She said, "Thank you, Phantom. That was wonderful!" He smiled at her, "Anytime miss, the pleasure was mine."
There was a pause before he spoke again, "Well, I should probably get going. You know, night patrols and all." She knew that wasn't what he was going to do. Elsa knew about his parent's strict curfew for him, so she wasn't offended.
"Well thank you again, Phantom," She said. "Anytime," he replied, silver hair shining in the dark, green eyes glowing. Elsa couldn't believe she didn't see the similarities before. Danny and Phantom were exactly alike. Phantom turned to fly off but he was stopped.
But before he could zoom into the night, a small hand made its way under his chin, holding him in place, while her soft pale pink lips connected with his cheek. As soon as her lips touched his cheek, both grew bright red.
She pulled away and walked through the doors, stopping halfway to glance back at a gaping Phantom who was cupping his cheek lightly, a look of disbelief plastered on his face, before turning and going inside, shutting the door behind her.
Danny almost fainted from that look Elsa just gave him. Her big blues eyes half lidded and sensuous, her lips were quirked up to one side in a small smirk, her pale cheeks dusted with pink from the night air. He did a little leap off the railing and zoomed off into the night with a "WOOHOO!" and a big smile on his face.
Elsa smiled to herself and looked back at the empty balcony only to catch Phantom flying across the night sky, thinking about what she just did.
The problem was she only wished that her mouth had connected with his. She wanted to see how his tan lips tasted. How soft they were. But she wanted that with Danny. Sure Phantom form was a hero, but Danny was the one she fell for. She fell for the sweet, dorky raven haired boy with the big baby blue eyes. She wanted her first kiss with Danny to be with him, not Phantom. Oh, how she wanted to kiss him right then and there.
But that right was reserved for Danny Fenton.
It had been a few weeks since Elsa figured out Danny was Phantom and she was seriously considering telling Danny she knew his secret. She couldn't help but feel left out when they would run off to fight some ghost that invaded the town. Even though she knew about his other life, she wanted to be a part of it. She wanted him to know that she accepted him for who he was.
Elsa had been doing some research on Phantom, or his former name "Invisobile," and his past run-ins with ghosts. Turns out, Danny didn't get off to a great start with the whole ghost hunting thing. He had many records of breaking more things than he saved. She was pondering this while walking through the halls of Casper High, excited for the week to be over considering it was Friday, when she saw a green streak zip through the halls.
She knew that color green anywhere.
The one thing she learned about ghosts was that not all of them are the friendliest. As for the friendly ones… well Danny sure was friendly. There were bound to be more like him right? Anyway, she knew she needed to get out of the way before she got hurt.
As she was running out of the building, along with the entire student body of Casper High, she heard a muffled, "Help!" coming from behind her. She turned and noticed Mikey trapped in the Biology lab. Everyone had already cleared the building so she had no trouble getting to him. She noticed the thing that had him trapped. A chair was somehow wedged under the doorknob, making it impossible for the person on the other side to turn it.
Dash, she thought, that jerk is in for it now. Oh, how she couldn't wait to give him a piece of her mind on Monday. But for now that would have to wait. She needed to get Mikey out of there before he got hurt. She hurriedly pried the chair from under the door knob. Once it was free she pulled the door open and Mikey dashed out. "Thanks Elsa!" he yelled in a scared tone. Elsa had never seen a nerd run so fast. She quickly scanned the room for anyone else. When she saw there was no one she turned on her heel and sprinted towards the exit, only to slam into a small man, shorter than herself.
"Oh, pardon me sir," she said.
"You are pardoned," he replied with an evil grin. "By the way, are you familiar with the ghost… oh what was his name? Ah yes! Danny Phantom?" Elsa politely replied, "Well… I uh… know of him, but I don't know him personally…"
"Ah, I see."
The man released a soft growl and slowly grew bigger. Elsa watched in horror as the small man grew into a large eagle-like bird. He had her cornered before he grabbed her and flew away.
Danny hated it when Spectra fought him. It wasn't like she was too powerful. He could easily take her down.
If she would shut up for 5 minutes.
When Spectra fights, she fights with her words. She points out your flaws, your weaknesses, insecurities, etc. All during the fight. It's very distracting.
Danny had dropped the thermos when Spectra had surprised him and he couldn't find a safe 3 second window to swoop down and grab it due to the fact that Spectra would not stop with the ecto-blasts! He was doing great until he heard a shriek come from the sky. He and Spectra both looked up to see a giant ghostly green bird diving down towards them. He could tell there was something in its talon but what? Danny took this distraction as an opportunity and grabbed the thermos from the ground at lightning speed. When he returned to his previous position he was surprised to see no one there.
Spectra and Bertrand, whom he assumed was the bird, were standing over an object on the roof. Danny took his chance and used both hands to zap them at the same time sending them flying off the roof.
Danny flew over to the object that was scrunched up on the floor in a ball. He immediately recognized the object, or should he say person. His eyes widened in horror when he saw Elsa sit up and look around frantically before letting her eyes rest on him.
"Phantom!" she said, her voice full of relief.
He was about to reply but unfortunately an ectoblast sent him flying to the other side of the roof. Elsa cried out to him but Spectra and Bertrand were up and ready. He saw Bertrand was back in his "human" form and grabbed Elsa, holding her back from getting to Phantom and helping him. Spectra was soon approaching him. He stood up quickly but soon heard Elsa grunting with effort. They both turned to Elsa and Bertrand to see what the commotion was about.
Elsa was fighting back. Hard. She stomped on his feet multiple times as he tried to hold her, which would have worked if Bertrand really was human. But his only response was a small grunt of pain. Bertrand was soon fed up with Elsa and grabbed her right arm and roughly pulled it behind her back, making her cry out in pain.
Something inside Danny just snapped. How dare he even think about laying a finger on his Elsa. Danny's eyes glowed with rage as he looked at Spectra and simply used the Fenton Thermos, barely giving her so much as a sideways glance. He turned to Spectra's henchman with murderous eyes that made Bertrand take a step back.
"Hello misplaced aggression."
He flew at him, causing him to drop Elsa and fly away. Danny was pretty sure that full ghosts couldn't bruise, until today when Bertrand proved that theory to be wrong. He was lucky to have Danny take mercy on him and finally use the thermos. But Bertrand narrowly avoided the suction, accidentally knocking into Elsa and almost knocking her off the building. She was now dangling from the edge.
Danny quickly used the thermos to suck up Bertrand and flew down to Elsa. She lost her grip on the edge and plummeted down towards the hard concrete. As she was about to connect with the ground, she felt two strong arms pull her up. She opened her eyes to meet electric green ones.
He flew them back up to the roof and set her down. Her legs were shaking so as soon as he set her down she lost her balance and fell forward. But he was there to catch her.
"Woah there. You okay?"
Elsa was silent for a moment before relief washed over her and she threw her arms around him and tackled him in a big hug, snuggling her face into his chest, happy to find something solid to hold onto. Danny was taken back; Elsa was never one for physical contact. His face heated up at an alarming rate.
"Oh Danny! I knew you would save me!" she said breathily. Elsa's eyes soon snapped open as she realized her mistake. She pulled away slightly to look at Danny, seeing if he noticed her slip up.
Danny was surprised when Elsa called him by his first name. Sure that was Phantom's first name too but his friends agreed to refer to his alter ego as Phantom just so the two didn't get confused.
Wait a second…
He opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by two adult Fentons bursting through the door that lead to the roof. "Ghost!" Maddie Fenton yelled.
"Unhand her you ectoplasmic entity!" Jack Fenton yelled. Phantom made brief eye contact with Elsa before flying away.
"Come back and face me like a man… ghost...boy…" Jack continued to yell but it was fruitless, Phantom was already gone.
Elsa was going to tell Danny she knew about Phantom. She decided this when Mr. and Mrs. Fenton were going on about how they would tear their son apart "molecule by molecule." She figured Danny would need all the support he can get.
Sam had invited the quartet over her house for a weekend sleepover movie marathon. Thats when she would tell him. He had a right to know. She arrived at the Manson's house at exactly 7 o'clock and knocked on the door. And guess who answered it? Danny.
This is gonna be a long weekend.
