Disclaimer: I do not own DP. Not Danny, Tucker, Sam, or even the Box Ghost. Sigh.
"What?" Danny stared at Tucker, unable to close his mouth.
"Uh-huh! She caught me as I was walking into the building and just asked me! I was so shocked; I don't even remember what I said!"
Tucker stopped short and the look of joy on his face quickly disappeared.
"I don't know what I said! I could have just stood there with my mouth hanging open! Danny, what should I do? I just can't ask her, she would think I'm nuts!"
"I don't think we'll have to wait long for your answer, Tuck."
Star was strutting down the hallway towards the two boys and came to a stop as she reached them. Looking at Danny with nothing less than a sneer, her look softened as she turned to Tucker.
"Can't wait for Friday, Tucky."
With a wink she left the pair as she continued her way towards class.
"Well, there you go, Tucky. Looks like you've got a date." Danny couldn't help but to smile for his friend.
"It also looks like we're going to be late for class if we don't hurry up." Tucker was beaming and he wasn't trying at all to hide it.
"You know what's really weird? I dreamed something exactly like this was going to happen today."
"Well I guess dreams really do come true!"
"Tucker, that was lame."
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnngggggggggg!
Danny and Tucker both looked at each other.
"Crud!"
Danny sat in Lancer's class desperately trying not to fall asleep. He looked at the clock on the wall and sighed as it read 9:15. There was no way he would make it through the school day without at least one nap.
"Maybe," Danny said to himself, "if I just close my eyes for a little bit, I can make it through this class."
Sliding down a little in his chair Danny closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
Danny, Tucker and Sam were sitting at their lunch table in the cafeteria, discussing Tucker's recent good fortune. Sam was convinced something sinister was going on and Tucker was convinced she was jealous. Danny sat between the two, managing to steal bits and pieces of his friends lunches as they argued.
"Tucker, there is something totally wrong with this. I mean, until yesterday, Star and the others hardly paid any attention to you at all, unless it was to laugh at you. Why do you think there was a sudden change of heart?"
"Well, I think that Star has finally come to realize what she has known all along; that she can't get anyone finer than Tucker Foley."
"Ugh! Danny, what do you think?"
"Hugmph?"
Danny was busy inhaling the rest of Sam's pudding cup as his two friends bickered. Seeing the look of flaming doom in Sam's eyes, he quickly swallowed the pudding and put back the cupcake was going to eat next.
"I think that you should bring in some more of this pudding. It's awesome!" Danny grinned at her.
Suddenly the lights went out in the cafeteria, bathing the whole room in darkness. There were a few shouts and a few giggles, but those weren't what were concerning Danny.He just saw that his breath had turned blue.
"Guys, there are ghosts in here! Cover me, I'm going ghost!"
Tucker and Sam jumped from their seats and surrounded Danny as two familiar rings circled him and traveled in opposite directions up and down his body. The former raven haired boy who had been sitting between them disappeared as the ghostly boy with snow white hair took his place. Danny Phantom jumped in the air and hovered as he tried to locate the ghosts he knew where there.
"Look everybody! It's Danny Phantom!"
Danny didn't know who yelled it first, but soon the whole cafeteria was in a panic as they all tried to run from the ghost boy. Normally, Danny would have tried to insist that he wasn't as bad as everyone thought, but today he was glad to get everyone out so he could fight if he needed to. He could still feel the ghost presence in the air.
The cafeteria emptied leaving only Danny, Sam and Tucker. Danny was looking everywhere but still couldn't find any ghosts and it was beginning to make him nervous.
"Danny, lookout!"
Out of nowhere, Danny found himself being tackled and brought to the ground. He looked up and found a pair of glowing red eyes inches from his own eyes. Then a tongue came and licked his face. The ghost hopped back and Danny saw that is was a demon dog, not unlike the monstrous form of the dog he had helped retrieve a chew toy for a while ago.
"Is this the ghost Danny?" Sam looked bewildered as the dog began to circle, sit, and then fall asleep in the middle of the cafeteria.
"I don't know. It feels like there are more and this doesn't explain why the lights went out."
"Danny, I think it might. Come over here."
Danny came over to the door where Tucker and Sam where looking out and slowly rose to the window. He gasped as he saw dozens of ghost dogs running through the halls, terrorizing the students, and tearing apart the school.
The trio then heard Lancer's voice come through over the loud speaker.
"Attention students! Evacuate the school immediately! The building is to be closed indefinitely due to ghost infestation! Repeat, evacuate the school immediately!"
Mr. Fenton!
Danny gasped and bolted awake.
"Where are the ghosts!"
The entire class laughed at Danny as Lancer made his way to Danny's desk.
"Mr. Fenton, I do not know what you might have been dreaming, but I can assure you there are no ghosts here, only literature."
"Y-yes sir. Sorry"
The class giggled again and then settled back into their work. Danny shifted uncomfortably and looked around. Everything seemed just as it had been. Nothing was out of the ordinary.
"Psst, Sam, Tuck. I need to talk to you at lunch. It's really important."
Mr. Fenton!
"Sorry."
Danny bent over his untouched work, anxious to tell his friends what he had been dreaming. Staring apathetically at his work, he knew it wasn't going to be completed anytime soon.
