The Truth Revealed
"You actually lip locked with her? You have done us all proud Danny! How did it feel? What she taste like? Oww!" exclaimed Tucker as he dropped his books to grasp his stomach where Sam had deliver a sizeable blow with her elbow, but he soon swore under his breath when his history book and Geometry landed on his foot!"Tucker you can be so embarrassing at times. You shouldn't talk about girls like that. Take care to remember that in life there are two things you should never do to a girl." Said Sam not taking her eyes off a book called "The Shadows of a Scorn Ladies." It was a black book and on the cover were numbers shadows of ladies each touching a single trampled bloody red rose.
"And what's that Sam? What should I never do to a woman?" asked Tucker as he push his middle finger down on the book and lowered so he could looked straight into her lavender eyes.
Sighing she closed the book with a snap and said in a chilling voice that would raise the dead. "Never scorn a woman. She will become a nightmare worse than Hell its self. And 2 never ever make a woman jealous because she will become capable of anything!"
She then took out a few carrots sticks and began to nibble on them.
"Well I'm sure Danielle and I will be quiet happy together. We're going to get some pizza after school. And then go to the new arcade. Well they're the bell we got to book it!" said Danny as he sprint off to class.
A true friendship was forged between Danielle and Danny's group. They hung out, studied, and were just normal teens. At night she would moonlight as Phantasm and help Danny fight all the ghosts that came their way. They formed a very close bond.
Even though the days where great and life was very fleeting with the ghost hunting she was always reminded when she went to sleep about that little black cloud of thunder. It always poured and when the lighting in her mind woke her from her slumber the word was illuminated in front of her "Betroth"
On the night of her first full month she finished writing in online diary and was so agitated. She began to pace and mutter all the time she shook her hands.
"IT NOT FAIR! IT SO NOT FAIR! LIFE IS SO CRUEL! I LOVE HIM! I WANT HIM TO BE MY BETROTHED! BUT HOW CAN I ASK HIM TO MAKE SUCH A HUGE SACRIFICE FOR ME? THE RISKS AND THE CONSENQUENCES OF THIS DECISION WILL HAVE SERIOUS RAMAFACATIONS! THIS WHOLE SITUATION SUCKS BIG TIME!" She screamed at her reflection
As a result of her outburst her telekinesis caused a tornado and her spontaneous combustion turned her elegant room in to what a city in Iraq looked like after U.S. troops were through with it!
She was composing her self when Elaine appeared. Her face was in assement. "Dear sweet child. You need to calm down. The house can't take another one of your tantrums! Listen they only way to deal with this rage is to talk about it. And you know I'm a very good listener. So tell me my sweet princess everything your feeling so we might avoid more property damage." Said the nymph soothing velvet voice.
She looked at her room with disgust so she laid stretch out on her bed and began to talk to Elaine. She had told the truth, she was not a very big talker but a great listener. She had to be, being trapped in a mirror for next 10,000 years! Before her imprisonment she was not at all wise or patient or even a good listener. She was impatience smart-ass who talked a mile a minute! She would boast very openly that she was far more beautiful than Danielle's Grandma. She went as far as to mock the former Queen and publicly humiliated her. So to teach her humility the Queen had her imprison in a mirror for the next 10,000 years. Where she would be fated to look at the world form behind glass and never see her own reflection. She was also sentence to watch over the royal family till her prison term was up!
"Tell me Elaine have you every felt this stress out? I've felt so worn and frail over this. Time is running out! Its strange isn't? I can face a Renegade Ghost any day of the week. But when it comes to telling the truth I can't tell Danny that I love him and desire him to be my betroved!" she said as she hit her pillow.
"Consider your self fortunate. If think about it everyone thinks that got dealt the worst cards but if you think about it they're always someone worse off than you. Think about it! Having to pick a future King of the Ghost Zone is nothing compared to my problem? I've been stuck in this mirror for the past 24 and still got 9,976 to go! So don't think life thrown you something you can't handle cause I've seen you handle things worse off than this." Said Elaine forlornly as her eyes gazed out vacantly as if she was in a trance.
"Looks like you need to talk to. Grandma is sometimes mean and delivers unusual punishments but they were always just. Tell me about the night you where imprisoned, please. I told you what on my mind so tell me please!" she said.
Elaine smiled and began her tale. How she was the most popular girl at school. That their was not a girl who didn't wish that they where her. Not one boy who didn't wish she were theirs. Smart, talented, beautiful. Anything she wants she got. She may have not been of royally blood but to her she was a princess. She became vain and fatheaded. She would spread nasty rumors around. She truly thought she was better than everyone else. When she was 21 she was at a party at the palace and she decide to have some fun with Queen Grouch. She made her trip and fall face first into the refreshment tables then she back on a door way and a bucket of suit fell on her! The Queen had her dragged to the room with the mirror and then smooth surface of glass changed into a wave a rainbow colored lights and she was pushed forward and was trapped. "And so I've been behind the glass ever since. I have regretted the decision of my past. So you see you really don't have the worst problems in the whole universe."
"She right you know, my princess. Now if you clean up this mess with your hands I would be very pleased. When your done you can join me for some hot coco." Said Gwen as she kisses Danielle head and went down stair.
The next few weeks went by even more quickly till it was near the end of her two months. She was practicing on how to tell Danny the truth when he asked her to go to a carnival.
"A carnival? That sounds nice. But wear something black! Please I think you would look attractive in something black! We are still on to go to the library the day after? If you and I are going to write a 20-page essay on King Arthur and Merlin we'll need all the info we can get so see you Friday night for a night a pure happiness!" She said with a contented sigh she then hurried. Saturday I 'll tell him at the library I vow it she thought.
"So what do you think of this outfit, guys?" said Danny as he come out of his closet wearing black jeans, sleeveless black shirt with a gold arm band on his left upper arm and black wrist bands, and he had the Fenton Specs on his face.
Sam gave a wolf whistle and smiled. "Danny you look so sexy and divine! Danielle is going eat you up!!! I even like a taste of this buffet myself! So tell me where can I get a piece of the action?"
"I personally think that gear looks too much what that kid who has that weird spike hair and plays that even weirder card game on channel 9 wore when he set that spirit who lives in his necklace on a date with his friend. What that guy name? Yhoise or Yellorer?" said Tucker as he tried to remember
"Yugi you dummy! The show called "Yu-gi-oh!" You idiot! Honestly, Tucker!" said Sam with face in her hands.
"I think you look great, Danny. Have a great date!" said Jazz as she hurried past.
The doorbell rang and he decides to take a short cut by phasing through the floor. He flung open the door and his jaw drop to his feet.
Danielle was wearing a skintight black mini dress with two gold belts hanging loose with gold high-heeled sandals. On her right wrist was a black pearl bracelet with matching earrings and necklace. She was wearing a styles pair Oakley's over her eyes. When Sam, Tuck, and Jazz came the all couldn't believe it!
"Is too much, Danny? I just had this old thing in the back of my wardrobe so long I thought it needs air. By the way you look positively scummiest! Come on we got to go if we want to get to carnival before dark! Sam, Tucker comes on! Jazz it will do you some good to have some fun tonight." She pleaded.
Jazz yelled over her shoulder that they we're leaving and they booked.
Tucker went to snack bar and began to devoured it like a human garbage disposal. Sam went to midway and began to win prizes like crazy. Jazz went to the sideshows and the lovers went all over the place. From thundering roller costars to tempting snacks and prize and everywhere. It was about nine o'clock when it happened.
Danielle had a neon-colored balloon and was eating twisted colored cotton candy. Danny was holding their prizes under his right arm. A unicorn doll and winged cat doll. In his left hand he was eating a large ketchup covered bratwurst. He was just getting to the middle when he spied something out of the coroner of right eye. "Mlommk , Dannum iell! Tum ove Loemao!" He said point at a large building with his mouth full of the brat.
"Uh? Danny two things. 1. Don't talk with your mouth full and 2 wept your face it's covered with ketchup! You put way too much of that stuff on your food! Now consume and tell me what you said. Here a napkin too!" She said as she handed it to him and threw her cotton candy stick in the trash.
He finished eating and then wept his face and the told her again "I said look their the Tunnel of Love. Lets go on it. I mean we done everything else already! Come on it will be great."
She nodded and off they went. Soon they were lost in the romantic tunnels. Swans, doves, Angels and Cupids, Hearts and Butterflies everywhere. They leaned in to kiss, when they heard an inhuman noise. Something not of Earth. It sounds like a cross between an eagle and a lion.
Danielle had a pretty good thought at what was making that sound. But she had to get outside and find out for herself if she was right. Using her telekinesis and combustion she flipped the vessel and sent Danny and her flying in opposite direction.
"I hope Danielle ok. But what ever causing that riot outside needs to be stop. Going Ghost!!!" cried Danny as he changed and went outside and saw it was mayhem! Everyone was running and screaming! Food and drinks were spewed everywhere and all the booths looked like they have been destroyed.
"What could have caused all this damage? He said as examined a booth with strange claw marks. There were tuffs of fur and feathers everywhere. In the wet mud he notice a large set of footprints. "This weird its looks like the front pairs were made by a bird but the back of some feline. Just then a shadow cast over his own and he slow turned around and was staring straight into an eagle face the size of school bus hood. "Oh crap!" He went invisible and flew above it. "WHAT IN GOD'S FREAKING NAME IS THAT??!!"
"That , Phantom Boy is a griffin! And not just any griffin Lord Tala of the Sky Canyon Colony! Come you need to help me to calm him down!" said Danielle as she swooped in.
"Help calm down that monster? Are insane! It's the size of a bus and it's a cross between a lion and an eagle! It's going to rip me to shreds! No way am I helping!" he said in a panicky chuckled
"Look! Danny Phantom. He no more a monster than the two of us! He just scared like you are! He never has been away from his home! He needs help. And like it or not that our responsibility to help him. Beside he my Father 's Spirit Walker! I know it's him because of the pendant he wears around his neck. So please I beg of you Danny helps me!" She weeps tears of extreme distress.
"Ok I'll help. But it better not claw me to death! What do we do Phantasm?" he asked as hovered next to her.
"First clear the area of people and debris. Then help me from an ectoplasm energy barricade around him. So hurry or Tala will really hurt someone!" she ordered him.
He did as he was told and got Tuck and Sam to help clear the crowed then he proceeds to clear the area.
"Done! Now what the entire carnival been evacuated and we got him back into the corner where the bathrooms used to be so now what, girl?"
"Hold my hand and concentrate your energy flow outward." She said offering him her hand.
He took it. It felt truly strange. He had been working with this Ghost Girls for nearly two months. The thing was, in the past ghost had touch him and they all felt as cold as the flames in Hell. But she felt warm! Could it be truly possible that this girl was a halfa like him?
"DANNY BOY! YO PHANTOM WAKE UP NOW! YOU ARE NEEDED!" She hollered. He snapped back into action and said "What the plan?
"Well I don't want to use our energy blast in less it's a last resort! He is my father best friend. We should try talking to him. I've tried to use my telepathy but he so worked up all his thoughts are like scrambles eggs! Any ideas partner?" she said as she pushed him out the way of Tala 's right talon.
"Wow! Those claws look like they cut through steel! We better stay a safe diastase and be ready to go intangible at any moment. But I think I can use my powers of mimic to try and imitated his language if you help me of course. You obviously know more about him than me. He looks like nothing but 350 pounds of power!" said Danny as he shields her.
"It more likes 400 pounds and good plan. But have a Plan "B" ready if that fails! Ok start speaking in a calm velvet voices. Listen to what I say then to him and then try talking to him. I'll watch your back. OK taking a deep breath and stepping forward. " Tala it's me, Danielle! You know Othello 's daughter? This is Danny, Danny Phantom. You can trust him. Let us help you! Please you need to calm down. Wow!" she said as he jumps over her and began to pound the shield crying in pain.
"He is going to hurt himself! We got to stop him now come on!" she said with tears of her own in her eyes. But Danny grabs her wrist and said, "Look I know your worry about him but we need to think of the rest of Admit Park! I'm going to something that both crazy and bold but I need you to be strong so stand right on this spot and wait for my signal"
He ran to the other side of the enclosure and then ran straight at full force and then yelled at her to cup her hands. She did and he jumped into them then did three back flips in the air and land on the back of the chaotic griffin and nearly thrown off too as he held on for dear life.
He then attempted to overshadow the animal but couldn't it! "What gives?! I can't overshadow him. I know some people resist it but this like totally different." He wailed
"That because Phantom boy its is impossible to overshadow a creature that in not the same species or a close relative of that particular creature! So in other words a humanoid ghost can only possessed another homo sapiens! Hold onto him a bit longer I got a plan that should work I hope." She prayed as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a gold tube.
"LIPSTICK?!!! PHANTASM THIS IS NO TIME TO FIX YOUR MAKE UP!" he cried angrily at her.
"Your wrong , Danny this is the perfect time." She whisper as she hurtled herself at griffin and gave him a big kiss on the beck. Then she stood back and said in a commanding voice " Tala! Calm down and relax. You are safe , friend your safe!"
To Danny amassment Tala kneeled on his right talon and bow to her! He looked at her bewilder! Curios as a kitten he said in amazed voice. "What you do? What you do? How did he go form angry and violent to calm and passive with a single kiss?"
"It my special lipstick I like to call Possession. It makes whomever I kiss do what ever I say for the next 12 hours. I don't like to use it in less I must. Now that he calm down & lets tend to his wounds before we find out what happen to him." She said with a heavy sigh.
"So you can literally make people do what every want? Anything no matter how stupid or ridicules it's is?" he questioned.
"It has to be a direct command. And I would never use it for selfish reason! You and I both know when you have certain responibitly you cannot misuse the power given to you to help you! Now lets hurry we have about twenty minutes before the cops come!" she said as she began to bandage his wounds.
Danny went and gathered all the meat he could find and put in a bag. "Ok I've got the food. Now how to we get him out of here with out being seen and where to we go from here?" He asked impatience
"We go invisible and go to the nearest portal to the Ghost Zone. Which if I'm not mistaken is in the Fenton's cellar. But how to we get the Fenton out of the house so we can get in undetected?" she asked blankly.
"Leave that to me." Said Danny as he got out his cell.
"Ghost boy got a cell phone?! Does it have a digital camera and text message and all that other hubabloo?" she said in amazed curiosity
"Yes, do you have a cell?" he asked She nodded "Here if you call better disguise your voice. Handing him a voice alter. He made the call and said, "It all set now lets go!"
As soon as they where in the ghost zone Danny began to ask a lot of uncomfortable question.
"So Phantasm, you say you know Tala because he your father 's spirit walker, right?" He asked with his eyebrows arched.
"Yes why does that matter? Why does it interest you?" she said as she played with her hair.
"Well I was unaware that ghosts even had fathers let alone families! And what exactly is a Spirit Walker?"
She clutched her fists and let her fingers tremble and respond to him. "You have a father do you not? If you have one why is such a surprise that I have one too? I also have a mom, which I'm sure you got too. A spirit walker is kind of like a guardian angel and a brother or sister and a best friend. You are bonded for life and your souls merge. It impossible to describe unless your in that kind of a relationship.
Tala and my father met when they were our age. My dad had always loved testing his limits and luck in extremely risky often as dangers has life threaten. Shortly after his 14 birthdays he went to Sky Canyon alone with out anyone and he had temporary disabled his powers so he was as human as us in a Spectral Energy Neutrals. He lived for drama as well as challenges and said, "You never truly have lived till you face the angel of death and blinked."
When we get to the Canyons you'll see how it got its name. If you stacked the world's tallest buildings on top of Mt. Everest you would need to do it millions times a million to even get a third of the height of the Canyon walls. It's is also home to the tallest waterfall in the universe, its called Skywater Falls. It always cast a perfect rainbow and it has the cleanest water anywhere.
My father was rock climbing. He has a natural talent for extreme sports. He also a great theater actor especially when it comes to Shakespeare. My family always loved Shakespeare. Memorized all 38 plays by heart. He has a very keen mind both for strategy and problem solving. He just a good of a passive negotiator as he is a fighter. He the best pugilist in all of the Ghost Zone, but you is a pretty good pugilist too. You could pose a threat after a few more years of practice wouldn't agree Tala?" she said feeding him a mega huge brat.
The great griffin chuckled and gleeful took the meat. He then whispers something to her and she laughed. Danny had more question and he want to know very badly how this "Spirit Walker Bond" worked.
"Answer a few things before you continued, like what's a "Pugilist" and what are you two talking about? And why is Shakespeare so important to your family?" he said in bewilderment
"A pugilist is someone who fights with his fists. He said you could also ride a little better. And my family loves Shakespeare. Both my father and mother have Shakespeare names, concidently from the same play. Which is also their favorite one. Now be quiet we have to go through Ariel's Trove to enter Sky Canyon. It opens right behind Skywater Falls 's eternal Rainbow. We might even be lucky and see two. Hang on! And duck your head. The Trove is about 3 ½ miles long." She shouted as the headed into a 5-foot high and 4 foot wide opening
They shot through like a missile. He then took in amazement the wall were undesirable colors with beautiful illustrious littering the wall. With smooth jeweled pebbles and a beautiful melody full the long dark passageway. Scatter were amazing relics of an ancient past.
They emerged in the brilliant sunlight underneath twin rainbows. She was right it was incurability high up! He watch as a pair of Phoenixes, and huge bird that caused thunder every time it flapped and many other birds he only heard in legends.
"This is truly out of a dream! I can't believe these even exist! Do all the winged wonders here live in peace and harmony? What to they eat? This beyond cool! Where does Tala live?" he said in awe as the wind blew in his face.
"Do you always ask a billon questions, Phantom Boy? He lives just under Dragon's Skull rock. It's about 8 miles from here due northwest. We'll be there in about half hour. So hold on tight." She squealed
"Tell the rest on how your father and Tala met! We have time to kill!" he shouted.
"He was climbing free style when he was about 4000 feet up when he lost his footing and began to plummet to the bottom. Tala, who had been eating a basilisk that a type of lizard when he saw what was going to happen. He swooped down to catch him; he did and flew up to his nest to meet with his family.
He was only a teen himself but griffins have very close family bonds. They live in colonies that are controlled by alpha male and a female. They mated for life. They are gentle to humans or human ghost protect them from harm but are extremely aggrieve when it comes to protect things important to them like treasure and their families. They build huge nest near their treasure. They lay one to two eggs that are made out of agate, that a gem. They hatch after little over 90 days. They drink milk and eat small amounts of meat. When the little ones are about 3 months old they are taught to hunt and fly. That only if they hatch. Sadly enough some people who attempt to steal the griffin treasure take the egg too. They sell the shell for a fortune and cooked the contents of it for even more. It's disgusting!
My father was injured. So Tala took care of him during the day and at night my father told stories to him. They couldn't even understand a word the other said but the care deeply about each other.
After a week he was felling a lot better when something happen to change his life. It was dawn and just as he woke to watch the sunrise with Tala, he heard a scream. He grabbed his gold handle dagger and hobbled as fast he could to the source of the sound and saw his friend in major trouble. The colony was under siege by the mortal enemies the Arimaspians. They are a race of single eye Sythian people who through out eternity tried to take the treasure of a griffin. Tala and his family were fighting. The colony was outnumbering because the females were protect the eggs and the hatchling. Tala's father Tymmon and elder brother Troff too badly damage to battle. When he rushed over to save them from harm a cluster caved in around him. His right paw was trapped under a bolder. He was at their mercy. A single one-eyed warrior towered over him and then took out a scimitar and trust at him. But then my father struck! He disarmed the Arimaspians and turns the tide. Soon the colony was victories and he helped Tala get free. He lost two prized feathers and a claw other than that he was fine. Then he did something unexpected," she said as brush the hair out her eyes.
"What he do?" asked Danny whom the whole thing entranced.
"I said "Thank you, my friend Othello. My clan and I owe you our lives I wish do be your friend forever. Is there a way to do that?" spoke Tala very proudly as he thought back to that day 28 years ago.
"YOU CAN TALK! IN ENGLISH! WHY DIDN'T YOU BEFORE?" Screamed Danny.
"I was upset and confused and frighten. I was far from home and it is most imperative that I get home and as quickly as possible." Tala responded.
"Its finally happing is it? Oh Tala I'll get Daddy on. Phantom I need your phone now." She orders.
"Hold up what going on? And if I give it to you, you have to finish the story ok?" he said hand her phone over.
"Tala mate Talia and him have tried forever to get an egg to hatch but no luck till now. Today is going to happen and he likes to be there. That why he was so upset. He and Talia were present at mine and my sister births so he want my father to be there for his child. But he can't cause of work so by attaching this phone to my compact it will act like a web cam and he can watch. Testing 123 Daddy can you hear me?" she yelled at the little mirror.
A strong masculine voice said "Daughter is that you? What's up? What are you doing?"
"Yes Tala its me. I'm with Tala and Danny Phantom. We are almost to Tala's nest. The Egg is going to hatch! We'll touch down in two minutes then we can all watch the hatching. I brought plenty of food.
They were greeting by a blue female griffin wear on a gold braided chain a huge teardrop shaped diamond. She usher them over to the nest after she rubbed beaks with her mate.
"So how did your father do this bonding thing? Asked Danny
"Well on his last night in the Canyon he made a fire of teal flames and he and I went through a long and difficulty ceremony and then recite the promise and the exchanged tokens of our friendship. He gave me this amulet I wear and I gave him on a gold chain the two feathers and claw I lost. Then our souls merged. We walk the path of life now with each other. Shuu! Its hatching, you can see this my old friend?" asked Tala
"Yes Tala I can see it. Push little one, push come on. We are all waiting," said Othello from the mirror.
The egg burst opened, and a little gray and tan baby with red eyes cried out.
"Oh is he not the most adorable little thing you every laid eyes on! What you going to name him?" asked Danielle as cleaned up the ball of fluff.
"Yes he needs a great name. I mean he does have some of the finest bloodlines in world." Comment Othello
"We would love it if you would name our son." Request Tala
"I think if he going to have a name it should start with a "T" so I think since he got the front half of the king of skis and the back half of the king beast his name should be Talon. How about Phantasm, Tala, Talia?" said Danny as he gently stroke Talon body.
"I think that a lovely name. It sounds like a great name for the son of a great leader." Said Talia as began to nurse her baby.
"Leader? You mean to say…" said Danny in shock
"Yes he is the leader. And Tala before we go here two is presents. This is the collar we had made for you child." As she spread out a leather collar encrusted with jades and emeralds.
"Beautiful! I know when he older he will wear it proud. What the second gift?" asked Tala?
"All the leftover food from the carnival, you won't need to hunt for a week!"
Danny than shouted "THE CARNVIL! QUICK WHAT TIME IS IT?" he said shaking her.
"Um 10:45! We got to get back! Tala what the quickest way home?" shouted Danielle
"Walk 200 yards from here to south and look to your right. There a small cave it's a short cut back to the portal. See you later my friends."
When he got back he grab the prizes and screamed at himself. The polices and his parents were everywhere and they all told him to go home.
"Way to go Fenton. She gone and probably never going to speak to me again, but what 's to you expect after being gone and total ditching her! Why do my responsibility always come first?" he moaned in to his hands.
"Because out of all the three "Rs" Responsibly is most important. And I ran too. What ever destroyed the carnival didn't make upset with you! And look Danny you still got my unicorn!" she said as she ran and snuggled up against him as the two sat inside a gazebo and kissed as some overdo fireworks went off. He walked her home and said " See you at the library tomorrow. Bye." He left not hearing her say in voice so low you had to strain to hear it. ""I will tell you the truth tomorrow, my love. That is my solemn promise.
The next day, which was Saturday around 2:15 when something happens that, would change everything between them.
"Well, that's everything we need for the report. We are sure to get-to-get an "A" for sure. Are your parents happy you pulled up your grades?" She said as she finishes laminating the 20-page paper.
"Yes they are. You beyond smart! I'm meant you know a lot about the middle ages and about royalty. You are incurable and their something I've always want to do if you up. For it!" he said unevenly
"Sure but there something I really need to tell you! But we can do what you want first."
"Great, follow me." He led her to old dusty room with no one inside and they start to have a make out session. Just as she was pulling off his shirt when all of sudden a billon lights went flash and overlapping questions were pouring out at them.
"EKK! Whets going on?!" cried Danny as pulled his shirt down.
"Princess, is this the Halfa?"
"Princess is he your Betroved?"
"What life like working with the ghost boy?"
She bit her lips and turns at the old bookcase and contracts and the books tabled on the ghostly reporters and exploded. "Come on , Danny run! They ran till the reached a dead end. "Oh crap! Danny you have got to phase out of here now! Please do it!"
"What how you know?" he started to say but heard the reporters coming so he did as he was told and phased them outside and they jumped on to his scooter and didn't stop till they were 12 blocks away.
"Whew! Glad that over. So want to go out for a milkshake? Or better yet one of Dairy Queens Brownie blizzard." She said with a smile on her face.
"Hold up! Danielle we need to talk and I mean now! How you know I could phase and who in God name were those ghost? And what the Hell is going on?! Tell me the truth like you promise and give it to me straight!" he said with his arms crossed.
Sighing she start to twiddle her thumbs and said "I was hoping to tell you myself but those vultures got to me first. Danny I want you to know that no matter what I tell you from this point on I never lied about my feelings for you. Those reporters work for a tabloid called "The Daily Scream" it's the trashiest of all trash. But they obviously found a little truth this time. Danny I've know you were a halfa , a ghost hybrid form the very moment you became one. In the Ghost Zone monitoring Ghostly Active on Earth is like the number one priority. I was in my bedroom waiting to take off a facial mask. I was singing to my new CD when my laptop, which had been open to my own personal web, page when the alarm went off. I saw the accident and from that moment on I was obsessive to meet you. I must admit I had a huge crush on you. I want to know both sides the boy and the ghost!" she starts to say before she interrupted.
"An alarm? Why would an alarm go off because of the accident?" asked Danny not understanding.
Sighing again she continued, " In the Ghost Zone we have a special task force that sole purpose is to monitor ghost activity on Earth. That includes ghost hunter and researchers. We leave impressible ghost alone, because its does no harm. And before you ask an impressionable ghost is like a ghost who haunts a house or hotel. The kind you see on the Travel Channel Show "Weird Travels" The kind of ghost anchored to a particular place and can't come the Zone, or Heaven or even Hell. No offences to your parents but they are the goofiest ghost hunters ever. Well more your Dad than your Mom. But we have study their tech and it has helped amazing.
Anyway you deserver to know the truth. You've know me in two forms this one and, transforming into Phantasm. This one too." She paused
"You are Phantasm?! Why did you tell me?!" he screamed
"Because I couldn't tell you. There is a law I have to obey because of who I am. I will tell the truth about who I am. I'm not just the human Danielle Fantana or the ghost Danielle Phantasm, gulping "Here it comes the shocker" she thought in reality I'm Daniellela Anastasia Fantana , Princess of the Ghost Zone."
He looked like he had been struck by lighting! "You are a Princess and a ghost Princess? I've been dating a ghost princess! Tell me your joking. I can accept that you're my ghost partner but a princess tell me you are pulling my leg!"
She shook her head and turned back into her Princess Form.
"So you are a ghost! And royal one at that! You just like every other ghost I fought! Nothing but trouble!" he shouted angrily
"Danny, think for a sec! If I was a ghost or anyone who assorted with me you would have had your ghost senses gone crazy form all the time you've spent with. In fact if I recall right the only other time it didn't go off around a ghost was with that rich playboy halfa Plasmius! So think for a sec!" she shouted at him angrily
"Wait a sec! If what your implying were true that would make you a halfa just like me! Wait you know Plasmius? Mmm" he said as she coved his mouth and hissed
"Not so loud. You never know who might be listening! I know Plasmius personal he comes over for dinner and tried to get Daddy to get him the stupid Packers. To make sure he follows laws we pay him a handsome sum of 20 grand every six months. Yes its true I'm a halfa. But I didn't get my powers from an accident from technology I was born a halfa." She started be he interrupted her again
"You were born a halfa how that possible?" he asked
"If you let me get a word in edge wise I could tell you!" she said
"Sorry"
"My father High King Othello on his Quest met a women named Desdemona Welling. They fell in love and she came back to the ghost zone with and was made his queen when he became 21. So in other words , my Father a ghost and my Mother a human. The reason which I know your wondering why when Gwen and Kal ,and the animals where around you couldn't detect them is because we have developed a kind of cloaking technology. It's a very thin veil that acts like a second skin. Its makes immune to ghost sensatory."
"What's this Quest?" he asked
" Remember how I said everyone in my family gets a year away from all hubabloo? Well we come to Earth to learn. And the things I've learn the most is that when you feel as strongly as I do about something you should act on it! So Danny this how I feel about you." She said as she leapt into his arms and kissed him. It lasted a few minuets before he broke it.
"This isn't right. I don't know you at all!" he said with his head hung.
"Danny listen to me you and I both know that this is not puppy love. It's not some stupid adolescent infatuation. This is , this is the real deal. I will say it and I mean it. I love you and that why I'm about to ask is so difficulty. Remember that day you and I beat Pyra? Well I was summoned by the Council and when I got there I revised outrageous information." She knew he had a question so she let him ask.
"What the Council?"
"In all of the Ghost Zone the Council of 13 Elders has more power than my father. You see there this little tradition and it's a law. Most people who go on the quest are well, 18 otherwise older. And the regulation is anyone on the quest must be at the end or before must be in a betroved and sadly at age 14 I'm not." She said hanging her head
"Tell what does betroved mean?" asked Danny who never heard the word before.
"Its means "engaged to be married." Intend to marry someone, its, its arranged marriage! But I have been given a chance to find a beau for myself. And I know you are the one. You are everything I wanted and never knew I desired. It's you I want to rule in my Father stead and be the next King of the Ghost Zone. My only other choice is well Lord Kenneth. He 19 and the biggest jerk ever. He rude, mean, cruel, selfish and arrogant and got an ego the size of Africa and Asia put together. He would destroy the Golden Age my father has created in his reign. And I cannot allow it. So I ask you will you be my Betroved?"
He stared at her, scarcely believing what he was hearing. Him? A King? He didn't even shave yet! He had just start to be a teenager and he was supposed to become her future fiancé? Was she totally insane!!
"Danielle, this too much! I can't deal with all this! Look I going home! We'll talk about this eventually but I cannot deal with this right now. I 'm sorry but I've got to go!" he said as he stormed off and then flew home while she chased after him.
"But Danny, time running out and I've still got so much to tell you. It can't wait! I need to tell you now!" she grabbed the scooter and speed off to the Fenton home.
