Cartooncraze357's Danny Phanfic
Disclaimer: really, if I owned the show, I wouldn't need fanfiction to post my story now would I?
Well, the second chapter wasn't very good, and I don't think it will get any better. And to remind you, I am open for criticism on this story, such as how this is a Mary-sue fic (o0), and how my chapters don't explain things, and why I wanted to post this in the first place. Well, on with the fic!
Chapter 3 'Clouded vision'
"What the heck is going on here?" Ri was standing with an angered look on her face. Play dumb. Pretend you don't know her.
"Uh, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm Danny-"
"Fenton! You little brat! You're a hanyou and never told me? You lied?"
"I lied?! You lied! You didn't tell us you spoke English!"
"I never said I didn't! It's easier for you to hide a secret if you think I can't understand. Like a dog! But that's big! You lied! Thank you. If you die, it's not my fault!"
She ran out of the nearest exit, and ran down the street. Danny remembered he was still a ghost, so he changed back and ran after her. Tucker and Sam followed him.
They chased her down the street, and nearing a set of woods. The three were tired, but when she stopped at the mouth of the woods, she hardly seemed to notice. But as she stood there, she crumpled to the ground, as if she was in pain.
"What is your problem?" Danny asked after he caught his breath. "So what if I'm a –"
"Shut up!"
She had shot up at that time. She was staring at him as though some one was listening.
"Look," she said in a low voice. "I can't tell you now. I have to be home in five minutes. I'll tell you tomorrow. In front of the cafeteria, ok? I fear to tell you here."
She walked into the woods, without looking back.
The next day, during lunch, they stood there waiting for Ri to show up. As the last of the people filed into the cafeteria, they could see her at the end of the hallway.
"Ri!" Sam shouted out to her. She saw them and stopped. She took a deep breath, and proceeded towards them. When she reached them, she stopped. A few minutes of silence went by, and then Ri decided to break the ice.
"So how's your arm?" she asked.
"Its fine," Danny answered. Yesterday when he went home, he made a temporary tourniquet from an old rag and found some anti-venom in a cabinet in the lab, which got rid of the numbness in his arm. Even though the bleeding in his hand stopped, he still felt dizzy.
"Ri, what did you want to tell us? Why were you so upset yesterday? What do you have against me?"
"I don't have anything against you. It's my father."
"What does your father have against Danny? He hasn't met him yet," Tucker said to Ri.
"I know he hasn't. sigh Let me start
"It all began when my father's long time friend asked him to invest in a company he said would make them both of them very rich. My father agreed to the idea. But he asked how he knew this. So he told him he had a vision of the future. Now that's not a big deal, but then it was. My father took no care to that. So it was decided. They would meet that day so they can plan the whole thing out. So my dad's friend waited, and waited, and waited for the longest time. My father never showed, so he left.
"He went back everyday for a month, but my father never showed, so he started without him. My father was angry and wanted to get back at him the worst way possible. So he released a story in a local newspaper telling everyone that his friend was psychic. No one would accept his offer on his plan. He left town, and a week after, they found the skeleton of his car with him in it. The car went of the road and crashed. The car burst into flames and he didn't make it out alive. My father enjoyed what happened and wanted to do it again. He met my mother a year later, and they got married. I had an older brother, Toyo, and he was my only friend. My father only wanted a son, so he ignored me. One day when I was six, I fell on the concrete because he tripped me, my mother didn't see. Because I would see her. He didn't want me to see her. He had fun watching me cry as my knee was bleeding. Slowly he turned me into a slave, punishing me if I did something wrong, got something other than a hundred percent on my homework, or even talked to any of the other kids at school. When I was eight, he sprayed ammonia in my eyes because one of the kids at school wanted to know the homework. Because of that, I became partly blind. I can't see detail, and I can't read, so I'm surprised I even made it this far in school.
"Anyway, when I was nine, a new girl came up to me and introduced herself. Her name was Sarah Monte. She had transferred to Japan from America because her father had a business deal there."
"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait," Tucker piped up. "Monte? As in 'Montegames'? They have the best games!! They made 'The Guiccioli Miniature', 'House of Horrors', 'Hacker', 'Deathflash', 'Wonder Never Land', 'Cypress Swamp Granny', 'The Airi', 'Glashtyn', 'A Place of Haunts', and 'Illumination'!! All the best horror videogames!"
"Tucker, shut up and let her finish!" Sam yelled at him.
"As I was saying, she became my first and best friend. My father found out, but didn't do anything surprisingly. A year later, she told me that she had telekinetic and telepathic powers. She figured she could tell me. I never told anyone.
"One day, in seventh grade, as we left school, we were greeted by a swarm of paparazzi. They were asking her about her powers. She didn't know what they were talking about. One of the reporters gave her a newspaper article with her face on it saying she was telekinetic. She ran to the car that went to pick her up. And the last thing she said to me before she got in the car was 'I thought I could trust you! Thanks and burn in hell!!' It was the first and last time I would hear her talk like that.
"She hadn't been in school for a week. Then over the intercom later in the week, they announced to the school that she had killed herself earlier that week. At that point, I knew that my father was the one that released that story. I became isolated again and the school thought I needed therapy. So they sent me to the school councilor, Ms. Honda. She helped me a lot. I later found out by myself that she was a Metamorphmagus, or a person who is able to change their appearance by will. I never told her or anyone. But later, after a year, she was arrested for one reason or another. But when I was walking home that day, I saw a newspaper article that was headed 'Local teacher, shape-shifter'. I knew my dad wrote it. He hadn't been home for the longest time. He wasn't home very often when Sarah was my friend either. She was charged for robbery and murder, and was found guilty. She was later found guilty for several other murders, and was given the death penalty. Just recently, they found the real person behind it. After that, everyone believed that I was cursed, so they always avoided me. Later on I discovered something I didn't want to know: my own brother was able to speak to the dead. Not with any type of preparation at all. Just conversed with them, like I am to you right now. My dad found out and did the same like he did to everyone else. That didn't do as much movement to the town like the rest of the stories, but it did turn heads on the streets. Finally, one night, as my brother was walking home, a gang came out and shot him. Witnesses said before they shot him, they yelled out, 'Now you can talk to your little friends all you want, freak!' A little after that happened, my mother came down with some kind of flu. Her temperature ran high, and she had to go to the hospital. She was worsening everyday, but I was still never able to see her. A few hours be fore she died she asked to see me. My father really didn't want me to see her, but he loved my mother a lot and it was in her last request to see me, so he allowed it. The first and final thing she ever told me was that she loved me and that she would see me in heaven. She was glad I couldn't really see her because she didn't want me to see her that way. But I could. I could hear it in her voice. She wasn't going to be there very long. My father pushed me out and had his final moments with her. In her final words, she made him promise not to kill me. Since he loved her and was willing to do almost anything for her, he agreed. As he left the room, he pushed me away, not able to look at me. We moved to America because it was my mother's dream to move here. Of course while he was in first class, I was in coach. He couldn't look at me. So there. You wanted to know, and I told you."
At this point, Ri's eyes were watered up. She had been staring at the floor half the time, as her tears hit the floor.
"Excuse me." She opened the cafeteria door and went in, slightly bumping into the door.
"Wow", was all Danny could say. "Wow."
"That must have been so traumatizing for on person," Sam said in a low voice. Even Tucker had nothing to say about any of this.
"So what should we do?" Sam asked Danny. "I mean, we don't have to worry about her keeping your secret, but she doesn't even want to look at you."
"Thanks Sam. Way to liven up my mood." Knowing the fact all this happened to Ri was giving Danny second thoughts on trying to be her friend. Her father so far, has written and published stories on four people. And they all died. What if he met the same fate as them? But why is he caring about his own life? In the cafeteria at that moment was a girl who was very depressed. He had to do something. He had been so deep in thought that he didn't realize Sam was talking to him.
"…I mean a half human half ghost? That would be the story of a lifetime! But that's too risky we can't-"
"And we will. I don't care; she needs a friend, normal or (1 second pause) whatever the heck she called me yesterday."
He opened the cafeteria door to see a swarm of jocks surrounding Ri. And none other than Dash to be one of them.
Lovely. Just what I need today.
He walked a little closer to hear what they were saying: "Look what the cat dragged in from the Atlantic Ocean! Bow down to the swamp queen." All the jocks roared in laughter. But Ri just sat there. Not crying, not mad, not laughing either. She just sat there, over a notebook, drawing. Dash seemed to notice and grabbed it. Ri saw but didn't seem to mind.
"Look at what the swamp queen drew," Dash shouted among his posse. They all exploded in laughter, but Ri didn't care, she just sat there, emotionless. Dash noticed again, and decided to deal with this inconvenience.
"Hey, what's your problem? We've got your stupid little notebook, yet you're not doing anything! What wrong with you? Cry or something!"
She turned to him and replied, "Why should I cry. I don't find it offensive because it's your opinion. Who am I to tell you otherwise? So you think I'm a swamp queen. All I have to say is, so what? I don't think so high of myself either. Besides, I've been told worse. In fact, you practically just gave me a compliment in my head. And another thing, cats hate water even though they can swim, so you wouldn't find a cat even near the ocean. And swamps are places in a jungle or the woods that have great humidity, so the next time you tease someone, do it right."
She turned around and just sat there like the last time, but Dash didn't care.
"Look you little-." Dash made the mistake of pushing her shoulder. That seemed to aggravate her. She rounded and did a back fist to Dash's face. He stumbled back from the force of the blow. As he recovered, he just stared at her.
Calmly, she said, "You can call me as many names as you want. You can want to kill me and put your plan to work. You can criticize me all you want, but you may never, EVER lay a finger on me."
Danny knew at that point that Ri really needed to leave. Dash walked forward as if to punch her back, but Danny had already gotten in front of her.
"Dash, she's just having a hard time, would you just leave her alone?"
"Look, Fentina's standing up for his little girlfriend!"
"Listen you," Ri said from behind Danny. "Danny couldn't and should never be my boyfriend. Because if he was, you'd be attending my memorial service. Of course, it'd be closed casket."
"Ri, quit it!" Danny said under his breath.
"Danny, this isn't your battle, this is mine. I've been battling my own battles since I was born. If he wishes to beat the crap out of me fine. But I'm sure I won't feel it."
Dash stared at her, and then threw his head back in laughter.
He's laughing. He's wants to beat up a girl and he's laughing. Danny couldn't believe his ears.
"You're a smart one. You're going to be as fun as Fenton.
Then he walked away, without a second glance.
Sooooooo, what do you think? I think Dash would react to this like that. He's just like Sesshomaru, unpredictable. Well, as Ri said, 'If you hate it, who am I to tell you otherwise?' So, if you like it or not, tell me. Signing off! The secret that should have been kept.
