Those Obnoxious Ghosts
Chapter 8: The OTHER Invader
It was now Sunday In Amity Park and it has been over 2 weeks since Lum moved in with her "husband".
Danny had tried hard to ignore Lum and focus on his school work and ghost fighting, all the while trying to make her go home but Lum won't budge.
She mostly spends her days in his room or her UFO while Danny is at school or ghost fighting… which have become his own outlets and personal freedom from his pretty but bothersome alien bride.
He thought school would be a sanctuary, but she appears in disguise to offer him inedible lunches. They're so spicy and gross that Dash doesn't bother stealing them after he took one to eat, thinking his usual punching bag is already suffering enough.
"Well, that's just great..."Danny thought sarcastically. "As If I don't have enough problems already..."He mentally added as he wondered what has become with his life.
He can't even find peace in the skies, as she flies after him there too, despite the fact that he warned her to stay out of sight and he unfortunately has to grab her and make her invisible with him and also trying to avoid her attempts to take advantage of the rare moments when he has his hands on her to wrap her arms around him, which irritated him to be in such close contact with the clingy alien girl who can't seem to take no for an answer.
Even worse is that thanks to her disguise, he couldn't even find peace out of the house as she follows him everywhere once school let out.
Danny couldn't stand it.
Everywhere he went, SHE was there, sticking to him like gum at the bottom of a desk. She always insists on spending time with each other, grabbing his arm, hugging him and trying to steal a kiss and many other instances when she invades his privacy.
It was driving him CRAZY!
"Why me?..."He thought, exhausted.
As he flew above Nasty Burger, he had a memory of something that made him cringe.
It was Friday, after school let out and he and his friends tried to relax at the Nasty Burger...only for a pesky princess with no concept of personal space and intruded on their outing.
FLASHBACK
School had just let out and our favorite ghost boy and his friends just wanted to relax at their usual hangout.
Unfortunately, a certain wanna-be bride had to barge in and immediately began cuddling close to the ghost boy.
Danny couldn't stand this. The Nasty Burger was supposed to be a sanctuary of sorts for him and his friends, but they couldn't enjoy their meal due to an unwanted "fourth wheel" who was clinging to him.
The alien princess was getting way too close to his personal space, even going as far as to try and sit on the half ghost teen's lap and leaning into his chest.
"Open wide and say "ahh", Darling!~..." Lum giggled as she tried to feed him.
"I can feed myself Lum..." Danny said in annoyance as he tried to push her off.
Tucker had some minor envy on his face while Sam scowled at what she saw.
"Okay, this is getting annoying..."Sam said, barely controlling her jealousy.
Lum saw her and sent a frown.
"Nobody asked you to come…"She said with some edge in her tone towards the goth girl.
"That's because we were already here… YOU are the one who came unannounced!..." Sam snapped.
"Well… look at this!..." An obnoxious male voice said as someone approached with his posse.
Danny rolled his eyes and groaned.
"Great… more annoying people…" He thought as Dash marched up to them, wanting to cause trouble.
Dash pounded his fist into his hand. He then saw Lum and grinned.
"Hey Babe… who are you?..."Dash asked, trying to be suave.
Lum blinked and didn't seem all that impressed by the jock as she spoke with disinterest.
"My name is L-..."She began to introduce herself but the ghost boy panicked.
"LYNN!..."Danny exclaimed as he cut her off.
They both looked at him.
"Her name is Lynn, she's from...out of town..."Danny said with a forced smile but sent her a "just go with it" look.
Lum blinked but then remembered that he told her not to reveal her identity to the public. She just nodded, since she saw it as him being concern for her safety.
"Oh yes, that is my name: Lynn...Lynn U. McVader..."She said on the spot.
Danny sent her a look at that.
"Seriously? Did she really just turn her real name into an anagram?..."He thought incredulously.
Fortunately, Dash didn't notice that they were making it all up as he was more focused on drooling over her.
"Well, Lynn...My name is Dash Baxter..."He said as he rudely shoved Danny away and presented himself to the hot, new girl.
"I'm the quarterback at Casper High..which reminds me, do you-..."Dash's flirting attempt was cut short when Lum/Lynn pushed past him and went to Danny, who was picking himself off the ground.
"Darling? Are you alright?..."She said in a worried voice as she tended to her beloved.
"I'm fine, I barely felt anything..."Danny said as he dusted himself off.
Dash saw the hot girl was ignoring him and fussing over his favorite punching bag. He frowned and marched over there, looking mad.
"Hey, what's with you? Why are you fussing over Fenturd, while I'm right here?..."Dash said but the hot girl just looked annoyed by him as she helped Danny up.
"You make Danny unhappy… leave..." She said with a scowl as she tried to focus on her beloved.
Dash frowned.
"Hey, babe...don't waste your time. He's just a loser and I'm the star quarterback. Come on, wouldn't you rather be with Casper High's Superstar instead of this dweeb? I'll even introduce you to some of the other A-listers and offer you a spot as my new main squeeze..."Dash insisted.
"Listen here you underdeveloped primate, my darling is not a dweeb, I have no interest in the likes of you and I'm already spoken for..."Lum/Lynn said, her arms immediately around an annoyed ghost boy.
"She's going to make things worse..."Danny thought irritated.
"What? You gotta be kidding? No way you're actually with Fentonio..."Dash said, not accepting the rejection.
Lum was getting angry now and Danny saw it.
"His name...is Danny!..."She said, a dangerous edge in her tone.
The ghost boy saw a familiar spark in her eyes and he panicked.
"Oh man, she is not thinking of using her powers… is she?!..." Danny thought.
"You are..bothering us!..."Lum said, her temper rising and confirming the ghost boy's fears.
As much as he hates Dash, he can't let this happen.
"I gotta save Dash...man, this is REALLY bittersweet..."He thought as he reluctantly tried saving his school bully's life.
Before Lum could do anything, Danny zapped his ice power to Dash's shoes...which thankfully no one noticed, except Lum and his friends...anyway, while he wasn't looking, the bully stepped forward to keep harassing them...only to slip.
"WHOA!..." Dash yelled as he fell and slid into a nearby garbage can and everyone in the restaurant starting to laugh at him.
Lum saw this and giggled too, her desire to electrocute that nuisance was forgotten due to this humorous sight.
"I've heard of "Hitting the Can" before, but never to this extent..."Lum said as she laughed. but Danny is mad.
"Lum..."Danny said in a warning voice.
"What?..."Lum said in an oblivious tone.
"Talk… now!…" He demanded while the alien simply followed him.
They both left together, while Sam and Tucker decided to leave the area as Dash got out of the garbage, wanting to avoid dealing with him in a crossfire.
"This stinks! Litteraly!..."Dash grumbled as he removed the trash from his jacket, only to notice his targets were gone.
"HEY! WHERE DID FENTURD, THAT BABE AND THOSE OTHER LOSERS GO?!..."He shouted as he got angry that his targets left and he had no one to take his aggression out on now.
Outside
Danny dragged Lum outside, in the back of the Nasty Burger and began scolding her.
"What the heck were you thinking?!..." He yelled.
"What do you mean?..." She asked.
"You were going to zap him, weren't you?..." He asked accusingly.
Lum did not deny it. In fact, she nodded and did not look even the least bit remourseful.
"He was being very rude and mean to you..." Lum said, as if that justifies everything.
The ghost boy looked a little speechless on how nonchalantly she responded to the fact that she almost destroyed that blonde imbecile.
"So you were going to ELECTROCUTE him?! ARE YOU NUTS?!..." Danny yelled.
"Darli-..."She was cut off by the very angry ghost boy.
"I don't want to hear whatever pathetic excuse you have! Nothing justifies trying to kill him, no matter how annoying he is!..."He said.
She had a confused look on her face.
"Kill? I wasn't going to kill him...I was just going to send an electrical shock through his nervous system.."Lum said but Danny looked at her with a glare.
"That's still not okay! Even IF he somehow survives that, you could seriously hurt him or ruin his life..."Danny said while the alien couldn't comprehend why he is acting like this.
"This is how we do things on Planet Uru..." Lum defended.
Danny rolled his eyes.
"Well, this isn't Uru. It's Earth and if you insist on being here, you are going to follow my rules and one of them is this… no zapping humans for ANY reasons!..." Danny yelled.
She looked even more confused.
"Darling, why are you being so difficult right now? I am only looking out for you..."Lum said, not understanding why he is so upset by this.
"Because, we can't use our powers out in the open so recklessly or use them to attack others, just because they get on your nerves..."He said.
"And yet you do battle with those ghost monsters all the time?..." She asked
"Lum, that's different. I use my powers to protect the town from threats. Don't make me see you as one..." Danny said.
It was meant to be a warning. Unfortunately, she didn't see it that way at all. She just saw him being a hero.
"Oh, Darling… you are so devoted to being a protector..." Lum swooned.
Danny groaned, sliding his hand down his face.
"Why is this ruining every fantasy I ever had?..."He muttered as the alien girl kept sending him googly-eyes.
"And another thing...Lynn U. McVader? Seriously? Was that really the best fake name you could come up with?..."He criticized.
Lum stopped her swooning long enough think of a comeback.
"Well, I believe that it's as good as your idea of replacing your name from Fenton to Phantom..."She pointed out.
Danny hated that she had a point, even more when she immediately went back to her lovey-dovey ways.
"Why is this happening to me?..."He grumbled as the alien girl kept sending him loving looks.
End Of Flashback
Present Time
The ghost boy sighed as he shook the memory away, as he tried to think about anything other than Lum right now.
Danny landed in the park, feeling his spine shaking in revulsion just thinking about her being too close to him.
To make matters worse, the guys at school were jealous that he had someone as cute as "Lynn U. McVader" as his "girlfriend", even as he tried to explain that he didn't even like her.
No one seemed to believe it, especially since she's always all over him. It was aggravating as "Lynn" kept showing on school grounds just to hand deliver the homemade lunches she makes for Danny, none being eaten and some even being outright destroyed by his powers, much to the girl's anger as she just didn't want to accept that her cooking isn't edible...at least for humans.
He wasn't sure what exactly she put in the lunches, but he was certain he'd be sent to the hospital if he ate them. Plus, it's much less painful dealing with her tantrums than actually eating those things.
"Why couldn't she be a ghost like Ember or Kitty?! I could at least put them in a Thermos…" He thought bitterly.
This was way more stressful and exasperating than the time that Kitty overshadowed Paulina, not to mention a lot more dangerous if anyone finds out her identity.
He really hated having to deal with the lovesick alien princess to the point he was tempted to make a wish from Desiree but he didn't since he knew that somehow, it would just make things even worse.
"I'm not sure how much more of this I can take..."He muttered, not wanting to go home just yet to avoid dealing with her again.
However, right now, a ghost was attacking.
"I never thought I'd be so happy for someone trying to kill me..." Danny thought this as he dealt with another attack by Technus.
The self-proclaimed master of science and technology has formed another large suit to do battle as he and Danny trade blows in the park, during the afternoon.
Danny manages to throw more punches harder than usual. He's taking his stress from dealing with his so-called wife out on Technus.
He's making good progress.
"FOOL!..." Technus shouted. "YOU WILL NOT DEFEAT TECHNUS! MASTER OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY! I WILL RULE THE WORLD!..."He shouted dramatically.
For once, Danny smirked. He's feeling free for once, dealing with a ghost instead of Lum.
"We'll see about tha-..."He was cut off when a girly, accented voice was heard.
"Darling!~..."
Danny's smile dropped quickly and he felt a migraine return.
"I knew this was too good to be true..." He muttered, confusing his enemy.
"What?! Are you kidding me? Can't she just give me five minutes when I'm actually dealing with a ghost?!..."He asked, only for the voice to get louder as it kept shouting "darling".
Danny quickly turned invisible, much to Technus's confusion.
"What?!..." Technus shouted as he looked around. "Where did you go?!..."He demanded.
As Technus looked around, Danny tried to fly away as silently as possible.
"Please don't find me...please don't fine me..."He thought as the alien princess finally appeared.
"Darling!..." Lum shouted once more, flying in the direction he and Technus are and looked around, cupping her hands around her mouth for volume.
"Where are you?! I know I saw you around here...I have good news!..."She said as she kept looking for him.
"What?! What are you?!..." Technus shouted his demands. "You dare intrude on Technus?!..."He shouted.
Lum paid him no mind, as she continued looking for Danny.
"Darling?!..." She called out for him, still ignoring the other ghost.
Technus quickly got angry and bent over to yell at her.
"Are you even listening to me?!..." Technus shouted.
Now annoyed, Lum glared at him and got angry.
"You dare to yell at me?!..."She shouted as her temper flared.
Lum then touched his mechanical head and sent a charge of electricity into him.
"AAAAHHHHHHH!..."Technus screamed as loudly as he could as his mechanized body short circuited and fell apart.
Out came Nicolai Technus himself, slightly singed as he held his head.
"Ouch..." He let out, wishing he had gone intangible.
Upon seeing the angry alien girl, Technus panicked and flew away.
Danny saw this and groaned.
"Darn it, I was actually enjoying our fight now..." He thought in frustration.
Lum looked around and saw Danny peeking out from behind a tree. Happy to see him, she flew as fast as she could.
She spun around the tree to hug Danny, but he went intangible before she could get to him. She ended up hugging the three, though she wasn't upset when she realized what had happened. She only giggled.
"Darling! You're being shy again!..." She said in a flirty tone.
"Think what you want!..." Danny snapped. "Why are you here? I told you to stay at home!..."He said, annoyed by her presence.
"But I have fantastic news!..." Lum said.
"You're leaving?..." Danny asked as he phased out of the tree and remained invisible.
Lum giggled, thinking he's joking.
"No, Silly! I just got an intergalactic postcard from my parents. I sent them one after I moved in with you, telling them how wonderfully happy our marriage is..." Lum said.
"So you lied..." Danny spat.
Lum heard this and frowned. Before she and him could engage in another argument, Danny realized something.
"Wait? LUM?! You can't be out in public! Someone might see you and recognize you!..."He said in a panic as he looked around.
Thankfully, no one was here due to being scared off by the ghost fight, but this is too much.
"But Darling..."Lum tried but was silenced by him again.
Danny put a hand on his face, sliding it down in stress.
"Lum, I mean it. If anyone sees us, we will both be in big trouble and if the government finds out, you'll probably be captured and used for an autopsy or painful experiments..."He said, hoping to scare her into leaving his planet.
His warning was misconstrued as she smiled and gave him big, sparkling eyes.
"Oh, Darling. You do care..." Lum said as she hugged him.
Danny groaned.
"Let's just take you home before someone sees you..."He said.
"Carry me..." Lum said as she refused to let him go.
Danny responded by using intangibility and sending her an annoyed look.
"You're kidding? You can fly!..." He reminded her.
"CARRY ME!..." Lum ordered.
Danny rolled his eyes.
"Ugh, we don't have time for this!..." He yelled.
"You know what you must do..." She said with arms crossed.
Danny reluctantly carried Lum back, just as storm clouds began to form.
"What I wouldn't give for ANOTHER alien invasion… less obnoxious ones, that is… He thought as he remained invisible and tried to ignore the clingy girl.
Meanwhile
All the way in Japan
At the top of a hill, a certain monk was watching a storm and felt something bad.
"Strange… usually when bad things happen, it's to that cursed family… but I sense something terrible happening far, far away from them..." The monk said.
Before he could contemplate it, he screamed as he was struck by lightning.
Miraculously, he lived but he was singed from head to toe and feeling A LOT of pain right now.
"Oh no…" He thought.
"It's… truly... awful..." He let out in a pained voice as he felt pain and soreness all over his body.
Later
In America
Danny and Lum managed to arrive back to his room, just as a storm began.
It was a heavy one with lots of lightning flashing. Danny was trying hard to ignore the sounds and focus on studying and Lum was busy focusing on him.
"Darling, I'm bored..." Lum said, whining a bit.
Danny didn't look up from his book.
"So?..." He asked, not caring.
"Come on...why don't we go out for a flight together, just the two of us?..." Lum asked flirtatiously.
"Are you nuts? One, I have to study since some of us have school to think about...and Two, there is a lightning storm happening right now..." Danny said as he pointed outside, while they heard another clasp of thunder and lightning.
"What's a matter, Darling? Are you afraid of lightning?..." Lum teased and giggled.
Danny got up and looked at her in annoyance.
"No, but I am not stupid enough to go flying into a storm like that for no reason!..." Danny said as he got up briefly to get another pencil.
Danny was about to say more but then he trips on his backpack, which was on the floor.
Danny soon realized that he landed on something soft... and warm.
"Huh?..."He let out.
He looked up and to his dismay, he landed on Lum and his hands touched her body. Specifically, the exposed regions.
Lum almost looked surprised, before she smiled widely.
"Oh no…"Danny thought in dread.
"Oh Darling, you really do love me! I'm so happy!..."Lum said, blushing and looking more enamored now.
"W...wait...no...you don't understand..." Danny said but was cut off when Lum grabbed him by the shoulders, smiling like a lovesick fool while he looked like he was dreading this.
She thought he was being shy.
"Oh, it's nothing to be shy about..." Lum said as she pounced on him and pinned him on the ground.
"You don't have to hide from me..."She giggled as she let out a "happy zap' as Danny yelled.
During the zapping, Danny had a miserable look on his face.
"Not again!..."He thought as he became intangible and broke free before she either kissed him or zapped him again.
Lum saw this, but it didn't seem to register as rejection.
She just giggled.
"You know Darling, sometimes your shyness can be seen as pretty sweet, even more once I'm in your arms..."She said, still crazy in love as ever.
"I AM NOT BEING SHY!..." Danny yelled as Lum kept giggling and pursued him once more.
"Come here… my love!..." Lum giggled.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!..." Danny yelled as he changed forms and Lum started to chase after her relunctant "husband".
Jazz heard the lightning, as well as her brother's yells and sighed.
"Lum is at it again..." Jazz said in annoyance.
She couldn't help but shake her head in sympathy for him.
Jazz personally tried to ask Lum to leave Danny alone but the alien girl is stubborn and in denial about her non-existent marriage. It was clear Danny didn't love her, much less want to be married to her, but Lum won't accept it.
The red-headed Fenton girl was at a total lost on how to deal with such a person like Lum. Sure, she is from another planet but she is still a girl, one who can't seem to accept that her affections are unwanted.
"I am not even sure there is a name for this in my psychology books but if there were, she's a textbook case..." Jazz muttered as she decided to go see if she could rescue her brother from his "loving wife".
However, as Jazz opened the door, something came crashing down through the ceiling like a lightning strike, destroying their roof, the hallway floor and continuing down into the basement.
Jazz was stunned silent for a moment, before she regained her ability to speak and move and once she did .
"WHAT WAS THAT?!..." She shouted.
Danny and Lum briefly stop their chase to see the whole in the ceiling and then the floor.
"What was that? Lightning?..."Danny commented, amazed that it didn't hit them.
"I am not sure, Darling..." Lum said in a confused voice.
"Will you stop calling me that?!..." He asked angrily before going to the door.
Once the dust cleared up, Danny ran down stairs, with Lum and Jazz in tow.
Danny was just grateful his parents weren't home right now, as he knew that he could never be able to explain this.
It landed in the basement. The three made their way there.
What they saw made Danny and Jazz look confused.
"What… what the heck is that?..." Danny said as he saw what was in the hole.
"It looks like...a big peach..." Jazz commented.
"What is this?..." Lum asked as she landed next to them, confused.
"Only one way to find out..." Danny said as he floated down and being careful, picked it up and to his surprise, he saw a tag on it.
"Huh…"He said as he looked at it.
"What's it say?..." Jazz asked as her brother began reading it.
"To the Fenton Family… Amity Park..." Danny read.
"It is a strange looking package..." Lum said.
"It's probably a bomb or something one of my enemies sent..." Danny said as he put it down and stepped back, his suspicions acting up.
Jazz did the same and Lum looked confused.
"Why would your enemies send you a big peach?..." Lum asked.
"I don't know… it's probably not what it looks like..." Danny said as he grabbed Jazz's arm, just in case he had to become intangible.
Lum, being curious, started poking the thing, only for the ghost boy to yank it away from her.
"Lum, didn't you hear me?..." Danny yelled.
"Relax darling… I don't think it is a bomb… I don't hear any ticking or sense the kind of waves such things have..." Lum said.
"And how would you know?" Jazz had to ask.
"I have lightning powers and I can pick that stuff up..." Lum said like it was nothing.
"Well, I don't care what it is… someone sent it to us and none of my friends would do this, so it has to be bad..." Danny said as he opened the ghost portal.
"What are you doing?..." Lum asked.
"Throwing it away, I don't trust it..." Danny said.
However, before he could make a grab for it, the strange looking peach did something.
It started flashing a bit and Danny and Jazz panicked.
"Oh man...I knew it was a bomb!..." Danny said as he grabbed Jazz and, due to his heroic nature, Lum too and became intangible.
However, to their surprise, the big peach began cracking open and Danny, Jazz and even Lum looked surprised.
"Huh?!..." Jazz went.
"What... the... heck?..." Danny said as he, Jazz and Lum watched the big peach… open up.
Open up to reveal what looked to be a small child.
A child who looked a lot like Lum.
