Hello everyone! Guess whose birthday it is...? Mine! I've had a great day and wanted to share this cute little short with you. Enjoy!
"Finally," Danny smiled as he walked up the stairs to Elsa's front door, "No school, no work, no ghosts, just me and Elsa." He rang the doorbell and eagerly awaited an answer. The past few weeks had been beyond crazy both in his superhero life and his actual life. So when a traveling carnival had come to Amity Park, Danny was beyond excited to ask his girlfriend to go with him. Call him cheesy but a day out with Elsa is always fun to him. Sam and Tucker even offered to patrol for him.
Sure enough, his beautiful blonde opened the door but unexpectedly with a look of disappointment on her face. "Danny," her voice was slightly shocked, "You're early."
"I hope it's not too much of a problem," his smile faded.
"No, no it's not," she reassured him, "It's just… um, would you like to come inside?"
He quirked a brow at her behavior, "Uh, sure."
She led him inside and closed the door behind him. "Hi Danny!" a familiar ball of energy raced to the door and beam up at him.
The ghost boy couldn't help but smile down at the redhead, "Hey Anna."
"Danny, I'm really sorry but I'm gonna have to take a raincheck on our date," Elsa said sheepishly, "I know we've been planning it but," she stopped and glanced own at her younger sister, "But our babysitter canceled on us and my parents are out. I have to watch her until they come back."
"Well… why can't she come with us?" he asked.
The blonde blinked back at him. "I…" she trailed off, "I mean, would you be okay with that?"
"Sure," he shrugged, "Two Arendal sisters in one day? What could be more exciting than that?"
"Well… I don't see why not," she agreed.
Danny smiled again and kneeled down to the younger girl. "What'dya say Anna? Are you up for a day at the carnival?"
She gasped and jumped up and down excitedly, nodding her head in agreement. Elsa couldn't help but smile down at the two, "Alright, let's go before the lines get too long."
It was a nice day outside and Elsa made sure to keep a tight hold on Anna's hand. Knowing her younger sister, Elsa had already given Anna some rules. They were mostly just 'don't wander off' or 'meet us here if you get lost.' But seeing Anna's face when they entered the carnival made Elsa soften a bit. Her sister's eyes were full of wonder as she pulled both teens toward a few rides. A little later in the day, Anna gasped and pulled them towards a game.
"Look! Look!" she said, pointing at the stuffed snowman that hung as a prize for the game.
Elsa smiled and crouched down to her level, "Do you wanna play for it?" Seeing her sister nod eagerly, Elsa laughed and stood back up. "Come on then." As Elsa reached for some money to pay the guy at the stand, Danny beat her to it. "Danny," she huffed.
"Oh come on Elsa," he smiled charmingly, "What kind of guy would I be if I let you pay?"
She shook her head as Anna hopped up onto a stood at the game's counter and took hold of the ping pong ball gun. "You're lucky you're cute."
"The game is simple," the guy said with a bored look, "Knock over the alien spaceship and you win." He pressed a button and the spaceship began to move around. Anna then fired as many ping pong balls as she could. After a few shots, the timer went off and the ship stopped moving.
"One more try," Danny smiled at Anna as he paid the guy again. "Okay, so what you wanna do is aim where the spaceship is going to go," he advised her as the game started up again.
After a few shots, Anna actually hit the spaceship. As they were about to celebrate, the timer went off again and the sign said, "You lose."
"Hey," Danny turned to the guy with an annoyed look, "What gives?"
"Look man," the guy pointed at the spaceship, "I said you gotta knock that over. And see that? See how it's not knocked over."
Danny's eyes narrowed at the guy's tone but Elsa placed a hand on his shoulder, "Come on Danny. Let's go try another game."
"I'll be right back," he bit out before stomping off.
Elsa sighed before going back to her sister. "It's okay Anna," she smiled comfortingly, "How about we get some funnel cake? It's your favorite."
"I don't think that'll be necessary."
Both Arendal sisters turned when a voice beside them spoke. They both gawked at the superhero that smiled down at them. "My turn," he smirked at the vender handing him some money. As the game started, Danny stepped back a bit before his hand glowed green and he shot and ecto-ray at the stupid spaceship. In mere seconds, it disintegrated. He smirked at the guy before plucking the snowman off the shelf, "I'll take that."
He turned with a big superhero smile to the little girl who was staring up at him in awe. "Here you go. I believe this is yours," he handed her the toy. With that, he took off into the sky.
"Woah," Anna breathed before turning to her sister, "Did that just happen?"
Elsa smiled, "Looks like someone's looking out for you Anna."
"Hey you two, did I miss anything?" Danny Fenton came waltzing back up to them.
Anna turned to him with a huge smile, "Danny Phantom just came!"
"Woah what? Really! Aw man, I miss all the cool stuff!" Danny said before placing his hands on his knees and leaning closer to her, "You have to tell me everything."
Anna grabbed his hand and pulled him along as she eagerly went on about the ghost boy, "He was amazing! He just came out of nowhere and boom! He used his ghost ray and won me this. He's the coolest. He's the best!"
"You're right Anna," Elsa interrupted, giving Danny a smile, "He is." When her sister wasn't looking, she quickly sneaked a kiss on his cheek.
The day went bay fast and soon the sun was beginning to dip into the horizon. The trio sat on the ferris wheel, their last ride of the day. Anna had fallen asleep on the seat next to Elsa, her new stuffed snowman cuddled up against her cheek. Elsa smiled at the girl but she paused when she heard Danny whistle casually and slyly wrap an arm around her shoulders.
She couldn't help but laugh at his dorky move but she cuddled up against him anyway. "I'm really glad we came today," she said as she watched the sky change colors against the city landscape, "Even if we did bring a five year old with us."
He laughed, "I didn't mind. She's always fun to be around."
"She loves you, you know," Elsa said, wrapping an arm around his neck and running her fingers through the soft raven hair at the nape of his neck, "You're so good with her."
He shivered, "But what about the other Arendal girl? The gorgeous blonde? What does she think of me?"
Elsa let out a small laugh before leaning in closer to him, "Well…" she paused and with her other hand she absentmindedly traced patterns along his chest, "She thinks you're sweet and kind and caring. She loves that fact that you were willing to go ghost just for her sister. She loved seeing you spring into action."
"I like where this is going."
He felt her laugh on his lips before her eyes leered at him again. They were inches away when Anna yawned and sat up next to them. They both pulled away from each other, slightly disappointed. As Anna rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, the ferris wheel began to move again, crushing any hope the ghost boy still had of getting some alone time with his girlfriend. "Anna," he huffed, "You have the best timing I've ever witnessed."
Danny had Anna on his back as they walked home, her slight snoring causing him to maintain his smile the whole way there. As they neared their front door Elsa spoke. "I know it's not what we planned but," she looped her arm in his and gave it a small squeeze, "I had a lot of fun today."
"Me too…" Danny trailed off as the door opened, revealing Elsa's father.
"There you are," he smiled at his daughter, "Right on time."
"Hi Papa," she smiled back.
Danny gave the man a sheepish smile, not really able to straighten up due to the sleeping girl on his back, "Hi Mr. Arendal, sir."
"I see you've managed to get my girls home in one piece," the older man said.
"Yes, sir," he nodded.
Agnarr cracked a small smile, "Good. Now Elsa, your mother just put dinner on the table."
"Coming Papa," she told him as she moved to take Anna from Danny's back.
"Goodnight, Danny," Agnarr nodded to the boy before retreating inside the house.
Danny straightened up as Elsa took her sister in her arms, "Night, sir."
Elsa reached out to squeeze his hand. "See? I told you he liked you," she reassured him. She held his chin as she leaned in to give him a kiss before taking her sister inside. "Bye Danny. I'll see you tomorrow."
He gave her a goofy grin, "Bye."
As she turned around, he noticed Anna was now slightly awake. She yawned and rubbed her eyes again, giving him a slight wave. With a smile, Danny waved back at her before turning and making his way home.
