Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. Butch Hartman and Nickelodeon does.
I do own the following characters: Veronica "Ronnie" Hawkins and Daniel
"Danni" Hawkins. The character Gregory Baxter was made by my friend and
she has given me permission to use him. The upcoming ghosts (Yes, you heard
me right, there will be more than one ghost.) are also my characters with a
few added touches from my friends. Enjoy! BTW – any similarities of my
characters to characters on the show is purely coincidental.

~Part 1 – The Accident~
"Tell me again why we're heading to Danny's house and then walking to school..." Tucker asked, on the verge of whining.
Samantha 'Sam' and Veronica 'Ronnie' rolled their eyes together at Tucker before Sam replied.
"Because Danny asked us to. He's been have a few too many close calls and Jazz can't always unknowingly act as a distraction." Sam put her hands on her hips for a second before resuming the walk to Danny's home.
Ronnie shook her head in a bit of dismay as they stopped in front of the Fenton residence. The house looked more like something from a science- fiction movie than a residential home. Sam rung the doorbell just as Danny opened the door, almost sending Tucker, Ronnie and Sam falling off of the doorstep.
"Sam! Tucker! Ronnie! I'm so glad you're finally here!" Danny exclaimed, his backpack bouncing against his back as he quickly shut the door behind him. Jasmine 'Jazz', Danny's older sister, could be heard, talking sternly though a little bit too loudly.
"Whoa... Sounds like a storm is brewing in there. I wonder what set her off... You didn't tell her did you?!" Ronnie said, her hyperactive imagination kicking in. Danny immediately knew of what Ronnie was referring to.
"No, of course not! It's just another of Jazz's rants on how mom and dad should be better parents. It did come in the nick of time though." Danny replied, nervously smiling. Tucker lightly laughed while Ronnie giggled and Sam rolled her eyes again.
"So, what happened this time? Invention or accident?" Ronnie asked, a wry smile replacing her previous giggles.
"Both." Danny began, frowning slightly, "My arm went ghost and, to make matters worse, dad brought out a ghost finder/catcher out to parade about. It kinda looked like a trash can. Good thing it didn't totally work."
"Good thing!" Ronnie repeated, somewhat gawking.
They began to walk to school with Tucker doing most of the talking as per usual. Tucker really didn't let anyone else get a word in anyways and Ronnie didn't feel like talking. Ronnie was something of a mechanical wiz and enjoyed working with electronics, so to pass the time she pulled what looked like a watch out of a pocket of her cargo jeans, flipping the backing open. She grabbed the mechanical pencil she always had behind her ear and poked around the workings of the watch with it.
"Is it really supposed to be blinking like that?" Sam asked, pointing to the watch's blinking components.
Ronnie pushed the small braid, comprised of only the blond streak within her brown hair, behind her ear as she clicked the backing of the watch shut and set her pencil behind the opposite ear. She considered her answer before readjusting her blue-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose. Usually, when Ronnie stalled for time like that, it meant that she was going to go into a long-winded explanation.
"Really, it's not just an ordinary watch..." Ronnie began. Tucker always knew how to stop her rants early on.
"Well, it sure looks like an ordinary watch to me." Tucker said, taking the watch from Ronnie and dangling it in front of Danny and Sam, neither of them looking all that interested.
"Hey! Be careful! That's sensitive equipment!" Ronnie shouted, snatching the watch back, "Actually, it's experimental but I've put a lot of work into it." Tucker looked as if Ronnie had slapped him and then settled for looking slightly annoyed.
"Well, if it's not an ordinary watch, then what is it supposed to be?" Sam asked, her face and body language as nonchalant as ever but her voice tone suggested that she might be interested.
"It's supposed to intercept tv broadcast waves and project them on the upper half of the watch screen. It's also supposed to be a fully functional watch." Ronnie said in an as-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"So what you are saying is it's a watch and tv in one. Can I try it out?" Danny said.
"In simplistic terms, exactly, except there wouldn't be any sound. Sure, Danny. I'm just not sure if it will truly work." Ronnie said, surrendering the watch to Danny's already open hand.
"How..." Danny began to ask before Ronnie jumped in, anticipating the question.
"The buttons on the right side are the buttons for the watch functions while the buttons on the left are for the tv. Top left button turns the tv on and off. Bottom left button changes the channel." Ronnie said, absent- mindedly waving her hands as she talked.
Sam and Tucker leaned slightly over Danny's shoulder as Ronnie leaned in closer herself in anticipation. Danny touched the button to turn on the tv and little lines of static lit up the upper half of the watch screen. He was going to push the button to change the channel when Tucker bumped up against Danny, spooking him enough to cause his hand to go ghost and pass through the watch. The watched jumped up against Danny's hand and emitted a few colorful sparks; all for of the teenagers jumped a little at the surprise. Sam frowned at her jumpiness but decided she really couldn't blame herself with all of the ghosts lately. Danny turned to give Tucker a glare as he apologized.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I-I think I broke it..." he began. Ronnie held up her hand to stem the flow of apologies.
"That's ok. It was experimental and unstable. Though I didn't think the components were that delicate." Ronnie said, shrugging and retrieving the watch from Danny.
"Aw man! That sure would have made English with Mr. Lancer a whole lot more interesting." Tucker lamented.
"Yea, like you could watch tv and still seem to be paying attention to class." Sam sarcastically quipped, though she was still smiling.
Ronnie smiled too and slipped the watch back into her cargo pocket. They had traveled a ways during the conversation but were still a ways from Casper High, their school.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't Danny Fenton." A masculine voice said from behind them.
~Oh no. Not dash! Not now. ~ Danny thought, freezing up with the rest of the group.
"And darling little Veronica Hawkins." A female voice followed, sounding to be from where the male voice was coming from.
Together, Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Ronnie turned, thinking they'd find Dash and his girlfriend or girl groupie. What they did find was a boy who looked a bit like an older version of Dash and a girl with jet black hair and hazel eyes like Ronnie in a red convertible; the girl driving. The four had been so wrapped up in their conversation over the watch that they hadn't noticed the car pull up beside them. Danny looked a little panicky, hoping they hadn't noticed that his arm had got transparent. Ronnie smiled, recognizing the girl immediately.
"What are you smiling for?" Sam asked, quiet enough that the two people in the car wouldn't hear but Ronnie would. Ronnie only replied with a smile and waved at the girl in the car.
"Hey Danni!" Ronnie called to the girl.
"Um, I'm over here." Danny said, looking at Ronnie like she had lost it.
Ronnie giggled. "Danny, Sam, Tucker; I'd like you to meet Daniel Hawkins, my sister."
"Please, call me Danni. Any friends of my sister are cool with me." Danni interrupted, lowering her sunglasses down on the bridge of her nose.
"And her boyfriend, Gregory Baxter." Ronnie finished.
"I've heard all about you from my little brother, Danny Fenton. I don't see what he dislikes so much about you. You look like a nice young man to me." Gregory commented, leaning forward a little over across Danni's lap to chat with the four.
Danny smiled; glad that Dash's brother wasn't as bad as Dash. In fact, Gregory seemed really nice to Danny. A small beep resounded from Tucker's pocket. He pulled out a purple PDA, which continued to beep. Ronnie looked at Tucker with a mix of unbelieving and questioning.
"Another PDA?! I thought your last one was broken. How many of those do you have now?" Ronnie asked, her hands on her hips and a perplexed look still stuck on her face.
"Only this one now. I'm still trying to pay off the other ones. I have only a few payments left thought." Tucker began, pausing to check out why the PDA was beeping. "Holy cow! We've only got 15 minutes to get to school and we're still a ways away!"
"Oh, great..." Danny said, frowning.
"Ok. So maybe this wasn't such a good idea..." Sam said, a small frown sliding onto her face too.
Author's note: Will Danny and his friends ever get to school? Why will there be more than one ghost? What happened to Ronnie's watch when Danny's hand ghosted through it? Will I ever stop asking questions? ... Ok, actually I will stop asking weird stuff. Just tune in to later chapters to find the answers. Thanks for taking the time to read this story! So far it isn't exactly much but please bare with me! I feel this story will be good when it finally gets rolling. Please read and review! I thrive off of reviews and change the story based on opinions!
