Chapter 2
The Encounter
In Amity Park a raven-haired boy and his two pals were walking from school. Danny Fenton looked just like any other 14-year-old boy. Embarrassing parents, a nosy know it all big sister, and two great friends Sam Manson the goth and Tucker Foley the techno geek. He even had his own personal bully Dash Baxter the star quarterback for the Casper High Ravens. But Danny and his two only friends hid a deep secret that would change how you looked at him. Danny Fenton is actually Danny Phantom (or as the town calls him "Inviso-Bill") butt kicking teen superhero protecting his hometown from evil ghosts using his parents ghost hunting inventions. It all happened when he was investigating The Fenton Ghost Portal, a portal made to connect The Ghost Zone to the human world, when he accidentally tuned it on and ectoplasm fused with his DNA making him into the halfa. A halfa is somebody who is half human and half ghost. There are only two halfas that Danny knows of. Himself and Vlad Masters (A.K.A. Vlad Plasmious)
"So, are we going ghost hunting tonight?", Tucker asked Danny his hand holding his PDA.
Tucker is an African American with a red beret, glasses, green eyes, a yellow shirt, and army pants.
"Yeah I guess.", Danny said.
"At least you don't have homework tonight.", said Sam.
Sam has raven black hair, amethyst eyes, a black tank top with a purple oval, a black skirt, and combat boots.
"Well...", Danny was going to tell Sam about the book report Mr. Lancer assigned today when blue ectoplasmic vapor came out of Danny's mouth making him shiver. "Oh no", Danny said.
"Ghost time?", Tucker and Sam asked.
"Yeah", Danny said and ran to the alley.
"I'm going ghost!", Danny yelled out his battle cry and a blue ring appeared in the middle of his torso splitting into two. One going up and the other going down.
His raven black hair turned snowy white, his sky blue eyes turned into a glowing neon green. His outfit that consisted of a red and white shirt with a red oval in the middle, blue jeans, and red/white sneakers became a black and white jumpsuit with white boots, white belt, white gloves, a white DP insignia on his chest, and a white collar. Danny jumped up in the air and hovered to see any ghosts about. Surely enough he saw none other than the Box Ghost, the most annoying ghost Danny has ever (and most likely ever will) encountered.
"You again?", asked Danny annoyed.
"Yes it is I, the Box Ghost! Ruler of everything cardboard and square!", he said, using his hands for effect.
"I'll call you guys later," Danny told his friends, "this doesn't seem like it will take long.
Tucker and Sam laughed and kept on walking. On that precise moment the Mystery Machine was just entering Amity Park.
"So this is Amity Park? It seems pretty normal for a haunted town.", Velma said looking around at the houses.
Then they passed a house that said "Fenton Works" in a big green neon sign with what looked like a big dish on the roof.
"Now that looks suspicious. ", Velma said pointing at Danny's house.
Out of nowhere appeared a red figure flying on top of a hover board. The figure turned to the van and raised an eyebrow.
'I wonder who they are?' wondered Valerie.
The van stopped as they saw the figure was slowly coming down.
"Uhh...Hello?", Fred said.
"Are you the ghost?", asked Velma.
"Ghost? I am certainly not one of those filthy monsters!", Valerie exclaimed.
Judging by her voice Velma deducted the person was a girl, probably a teenager.
"Why are you dressed like that?", asked Daphne.
If it were her, she wouldn't wear that in public.
"I'm a ghost hunter. I have weapons just for hunting them"
"Do you happen to know the ghost kid Inviso-Bill?", continued Velma.
Valerie could the blood rising to her face as she remembered the reason why she did what she did.
"As a matter of fact I do,' Valerie said, her voice cold and harsh, "he has done nothing but ruin my life."
The gang looked at each other, slightly taken aback by the tone of Valerie's voice. Suddenly one of Valerie's many gadgets started beeping madly.
"What's that asked?", asked Velma pointing at the gadget.
"It's my ghost radar. It helps me detect ghosts. You can go with me if you want to."
The gang nodded and both the van and the hover board sped down Amity Park. A few minutes later they reached the park and caught sight of Danny and the Box Ghost. The gang got out of the Mystery Machine and hid behind a row of bushes much to the refusals of Shaggy and Scooby. Valerie hid behind the van, gun loaded.
"What are we doing again?", asked Shaggy in a whisper.
"We're gonna expose that ghost for the fake he is!", whispered Fred.
"And how are we going to do that?"
"With this", Velma showed them a big net capable of trapping at least five people.
"Now all we have to do is wait for the right moment."
Amazingly, the Box Ghost managed to survive longer than usual without being caught. But all things must come to an end. Danny sucked the Box Ghost inside hit trusty Fenton Thermos with one last "Beware!" from the pudgy ghost.
"I wonder how long he will take to come back?", wondered Danny capping the thermos shut.
He was just about to land when a red ray almost hit him from behind.
"Whoa!", Danny turned around to spot Valerie with a smoking gun.
"Valerie", Danny said getting in a fighting position.
"Hello ghost boy."
"I thought we called a truce."
"We did before you exposed me in front of my dad."
With that Valerie positioned her gun ready to fire.
"Say goodbye."
She fired another ray heading directly for the young hybrid. Quickly dodging it he fired a green ecto blast at one of board's engines. She quickly moved down and fired once again, managing hitting one of Danny's leg. Danny felt the stinging pain rising up his leg and let his guard down leaving Valerie with an open shot. She fired and managed to send Danny flying back into the tree near where gang was hiding.
"Now it's over."
The gang and Danny waited for what she was about to do next. She was just about to fire when her cell phone went off.
"Hello?", she answered annoyed but quickly changed her tone when she found out who she was talking too. "What! Dad no! All right I'll be right there."
Sighing in defeat, she hung up the phone and turned back to Danny, "Don't think this is over yet ghost boy!"
She turned around and sped to the direction of her small apartment. Danny heaved a sigh of relief, "That was too close for comfort."
Suddenly, he heard a cry from behind him, "Now!"
Before he knew it, he was trapped in a net.
"Huh?", Danny was bewildered.
"Now who are you?", asked Velma.
"What are you talking about?", asked Danny.
"Well he's slow.", muttered Shaggy.
Danny scowled at him. "I mean why are you haunting this town. Certainly a teenage boy will be caught sooner or later pretending to be a ghost."
"I am a ghost!", shouted an annoyed Danny.
"Yeah sure.", Fred said rolling his eyes.
"I so don't have time for this.", murmured Danny. He turned intangible and floated out of the net.
"See ya!"
Danny flew to his house, leaving a bewildered group in his wake.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Danny changed back to human he went to his house. When he opened the door he was greeted by none other than his dad Jack Fenton showing of another of his ghost hunting inventions. He was a big broad man with an orange jumpsuit. His hair was black with white on the side, a sign of aging. His eyes were a light blue.
"Hey Danny! Check this out,", Jack said waving his new invention in front of Danny's face.
It was a green ball about the size of a tennis ball. It had the words "Fenton Ghost Ball" in front of it.
"I call it the Fenton Ghost Ball. If you throw it to a ghost it immediately captures it and knocks them out. And the best thing is ghosts can't phase through it. What do you think Danny?", Jack asked after he finished his explanation.
"It's...great! Yeah it's great!...I'll go to my room now.", Danny said running up to his room.
'Great another invention for me to worry about. And this sounds good. Too good!' Danny thought to himself as he closed the door and threw himself onto his bed.
He then started thinking about the people who tried to capture him while fighting Valerie.
'Who were those people?' Danny thought. 'They mustn't be from around here since they thought ghosts weren't real. Well at least they aren't a threat.'
Danny chuckled to himself and went down for dinner not knowing how wrong he was.
