Important A/N Read! In my story Jazz knows nothing about Danny being ghost, it just funnier that way. Also the puppy is speaking but in dog so no human can understand him that's why when he speaks it's in 'hey' and not "woof".
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or any of it cast but I do own Spook, Radio Wave, Skeeter and Danny's CW teacher.
Ch.2 Make Jazz Stop
Luckily for Danny when he walked in his parents were currently in their lab but Jazz was sitting at the kitchen table reading. She was reading a book titled A Teen's Life: Stress and Peer Pressure and lying on the table was a magazine opened to an article that said How to Tell if Your Little Johnny's on Drugs.
As soon as Danny walked into the house and closed the door Jazz put down her book getting ready to talk to Danny.
Danny put down his backpack and went into the kitchen to get a soda. As soon as Danny took one sip of his soda Jazz went straight into her questioning.
"Okay, Danny where are they?" Jazz said pointing at Danny.
"What are you talking about Jazz?" Danny asked.
"Don't lie Danny, I'm on to your little secret. The low grades, staying out late, and the nervousness, you're on drugs." Jazz accused him.
"It's a lie I'm not a ghost! I mean I'm not on drugs." Danny corrected his response.
"Danny quit denying it and tell the truth, let me help you" Jazz pleaded.
"I'm not on drugs Jazz" Danny demanded.
"Danny you're either on drugs or steroids or both" Jazz said.
"Jazz what are you talking about?" Danny asked.
"Don't think I haven't noticed. A person doesn't get muscles that fast unless they're working out in a gym and I know you're not going to any gym." Jazz informed him.
"How do you know, I could be going to a gym" Danny lied.
"No your not if you were you'd be finding a way to make it so you have enough time to do your homework and be home by curfew. And if you couldn't you'd stop going. The only logical explanation is steroids" Jazz told him.
"Jazz I'm not on drugs or steroids" Danny said for the last time leaving to go to his room.
"Danny I want to help you but I can't help you if you won't admit your problem" Jazz pleaded going after Danny.
Danny made it to his room and slammed the door right in Jazz's face. The closed door didn't stop Jazz. Jazz was going to try and open the door but her attempts failed as Danny stuck his desk chair against the door knob. But Jazz is a stubborn girl she started lecturing Danny through the closed door. Danny just turned on his stereo letting the music Blair. With every increase in the volume of Jazz's voice Danny just increased the volume of his stereo. After the music drowned out Jazz's voice Jazz began to pound on the door.
"I guess I should do something" Danny said getting up from his bed.
Danny put on his headphones and plugged them in.
"That's better" Danny said unable to hear Jazz's nonstop noise.
After about half an hour Jazz gave up. Ever since Danny was little Jazz took it upon her self to help Danny in his difficult stages of life, thinking her parent's sick obsession with ghosts would ruin Danny's life. And ever since the accident Jazz has worked harder to understand the teen psyche and help Danny in his troubling teen years.
The next morning Danny made it out of the door narrowly missing Jazz and her 'admit you're on drugs' ranting. Danny for once was looking forward to school at least at school he could avoid his sister.
Unknown to Danny the sound of Danny slamming the front door closed woke the small puppy waiting for him. The puppy lifted its head in time to see Danny run by. The puppy took off after Danny following him all the way to school. Once Danny got to Casper high he immediately spotted his friends by the steps to the entrance waiting for him.
"Hey Danny who's your friend?" Tucker asked pointing behind him.
Danny turned around to see a little black puppy sitting just a few feet behind him. He began to wag his tail happy that Danny noticed him.
"Hey, that's the puppy from yesterday" Danny said with surprise not expecting to see the puppy ever again.
"It's so cute" Sam said from out of nowhere.
Danny and Tucker turned around to look at her. Tucker was in shock and Danny just raised an eyebrow.
"I mean he's my favorite color, black" Sam said trying to cover her sudden out burst.
Danny wasn't paying attention to Sam and was kneeling down like yesterday coxing the puppy over with words of encouragement. The puppy stood up wagging its tail harder as it trotted over to Danny. Once the puppy was in reach Danny started scratching it behind the ears.
'That's it right there, perfect' the puppy said as Danny continued to scratch the pup's ears.
"Well, he's rather friendly today" Danny said.
"I wonder who owns it?" Tucker asked keeping a fair distance for the pup.
"Maybe, it's a stray" Sam suggested kneeling next to Danny and scratching the puppy's other ear.
"Come on a stray would be too scared of people to come this close" Tucker informed them.
"Well, yesterday he was pretty afraid of me must have decided sometime yesterday to trust me" Danny said.
"And you're standing at that distance because you have trust issues with a puppy" Sam asked.
"Well, when I was five my aunt brought her dog, a bulldog, over and the thing snapped at me then chased me up a tree" Tucker said a little embarrassed. "Ever since I've kinda had this childhood fear of dogs."
"Come on Tucker it's a puppy what's the worse it could do to you" Danny said.
Before Tucker could answer the school bell rung, Sam and Danny reluctantly abandoned the puppy to go to class. The puppy wasn't to trilled they were leaving either. The pup was desperate to follow Danny but got disorientated in the crowd of students walking into the school. Once all the students had disappeared into the school and the puppy got his bearings back and headed toward the doors. But the doors were closed with no way for the pup to get in. Once again defeated by his enemy the door the pup walked down the steps and plopped down on the hard concrete walk.
Ch.3 One Teacher against Dash's Wrath
It had been a rather normal day for Danny but around fifth period it got bad. The football coach had added so may extra practices that Dash didn't have time to study for his English test and wanted to take his D out on his favorite punching bag. Danny was able to avoid Dash for one passing period but during the passing period between sixth and seventh period it looked like Dash may catch him this time. Danny turned the corner gasping for air.
"Must run faster, can't stop running" Danny got out between gasps for air.
Danny's next class and salvation from Dash was just at the end of this hall way. Danny was half way down the hall way when he noticed the caution sign for wet floor. Danny didn't slow down to go over the nicely cleaned floor slipped and by an odd coincidence he went sliding, on his back, all the rest of the way down the hall and right into the class room just as his teacher was closing the door to start class, shutting Dash out and giving Danny one more class period to live.
"Nice entrance you made Fenton" Mr. Create said looking at Danny lying on the floor.
Mr. Create was the creative writing and English grammar teacher in the school. Tucker had talked him and Sam into taking his creative writing class. He said that by taking the class they'd get half a credit of English meaning after sophomore year they'd only have to take one and a half more credits to complete their four English required credits to graduate. Another plus his class were rumored to be fun. Also almost every kid in school liked him especially the unpopular kids because he was a teacher who believed in equal rights for all students unlike Mr. Lancer.
So far all was true and Danny was doing great in the class. Beside Danny had lots of stories to write about that were true but as far as Mr. Create knew were the inner imagination of a fifth teen year old boy. Mr. Create liked Danny's story of Danny Phantom. (Back to the time of the present.)
Danny just smiled and said "you know me I like to be the center of attention every now and then."
He then got up and took his seat with Tucker to his right and Sam to his left. Mr. Create began to hand out the newly graded stories.
"Very good story of a depressing world Sam" he said handing Sam's paper back.
"You must tell me how to transport your self into an internet game Fenton" he said as he put Danny's paper down on the desk.
"And you Tucker, it was good but you've done better on other papers" Mr. Create said handing Tucker his paper.
He continued handing back papers giving comments on all of them.
"Okay class now that we know how to turn a blank piece of paper into a story lets try something new" Mr. Create said. "Now I want all of you to think of one of your normal, boring day and write to tell me about it," the whole class groaned "then twist it into your own little world full of whatever you want" Mr. Create finished make the class happier to hear that.
Seventh period ticked by as the class was busy writing and the teacher correcting papers from his grammar class.
Mr. Create looked up from his papers at the clock. "Everyone it's five minutes till class is over hand in your papers if your done, if not consider it homework" Mr. Create announced.
Some of the class got up to put their finished papers on the desk and waited for the bell to ring. Danny was sitting at his desk dreading the end of class. Finally the bell rang and the class started to leave.
"Danny a word with you" Mr. Create said before Danny left.
The last student out closed the door leaving Danny and Mr. Create alone.
Danny was about to say something when Mr. Create cut him off.
"Dash is waiting for you right outside the door, rope latter that window," Mr. Create said pointing his red pen at one of the classroom windows "and if any faculty sees you dropping the latter and climbing down here's a nice list of excuses."
Mr. Create held up a scrap piece of paper. Danny took it and proceeded to open the window and push the rope latter over the side letting it unwind to the ground from two stories. Danny lifted him self out the window down the latter, all the while thinking to him self 'there's a reason he's my favorite teacher, I love this guy!'
Danny ran over to his friends on the sidewalk waiting to see if Danny would make it pass Dash's wrath alive.
"Hey guys" Danny said slowing down and walking up to them.
"You're alive, how?" Tucker asked shocked.
"Rope latter" Danny said pointing to a rope latter being pulled back into the second story window.
Danny and his friends left for home.
The pup was awoken by the sound of students filing out of school. He got up sitting by the steps wagging its tail waiting for Danny to come out. Some of the girls would come out and talk about how cute he was but if any tried to pet him he jump away. They move on since they didn't feel like chasing a puppy around just to pet it.
As the last of the students came out the pup realized Danny some how got by with out him noticing. That didn't discourage the pup; he just put his nose to the ground and followed Danny's scent.
Danny and his friends made it as far as they did yesterday.
"So what you going to do?" Danny asked before they parted ways.
"Other that math my dad just got this new DVD player for the big screen we're going to set it up tonight" Tucker said with excitement.
"Good for you" Sam said in her usual (sunny) disposition.
"With any luck it will be a ghost free day" Danny said.
"If it turns out not to be call me for help" Sam said rather desperate.
"Since when are you so keen on ghost hunting" Tucker said.
"Anything is better that doing my cooking class homework" Sam said giving Tucker a warning glare to shut it.
"Trade ya, my math for your cooking" Danny said.
"Love to if she wasn't going to test us on it tomorrow" Sam said with hate for her teacher.
"Worth a try, see ya guys" Danny said as they headed in different directions for home.
Danny was two houses from home in a rather happy mood when it was crushed.
Out of nowhere Dash appeared.
"Didn't think you'd get away did you Fen-toad" Dash said balling his hand into a fist.
Danny's only thought 'I'm dead.'
But as luck would have it the puppy had just caught up with Danny. He came upon the scene of his hero about to be killed, like hell he was going to let that happen.
The pup ran forward and bit Dash's pant leg just as Dash had Danny by his collar pulling his fist back.
The pup shook its head while growling as it tried to stop Dash attacking Danny by him attacking Dash's pants. Dash looked down at the pup confused and angry.
"Hey you stupid mutt these are new pants" Dash said as he shook is leg knocking the puppy off.
The puppy was not discouraged by this and got right back up and dug his teeth through Dash's pants and into his skin.
Dash gave a yelp of pain and dropped Danny. Dash started to do a dance trying to get the puppy to release him. He finally got the puppy off him and looked down at his leg. Seeing the blood soak through his jeans he retreated saying "I'll get you later Fen-tonio."
Danny stood there rather amused that Dash had gotten his butt kicked by a little puppy. The puppy was sitting at Danny's feet wagging his tail satisfied with its work.
Danny kneeled down and pets the puppy saying "Thanks I owe ya."
As the puppy was enjoying the feeling of Danny running his fingers through his fur he said 'Don't mention it just repaying you but don't stop petting me.'
While Danny was petting the puppy he noticed how thin he was. Danny thought to him self 'must of not eaten in a while and if he did not much.' Then Danny got an idea to repay the pup for saving him from Dash. He picked up the puppy and headed to the front door of his house.
Danny cracked the door open peeking his head in.
"Mom, Dad, Jazz?" Danny shout with no answer as it echoed through the empty house.
"Great no ones home" Danny said opening the door all the way open walking in with the pup in his arms.
Danny walked to the kitchen carrying the pup. He put the puppy down and opened the fridge. He was rummaging through it looking for something to give the puppy to eat. Danny found a plate with three chicken sandwiches left over from last night's dinner. He pulled the plate out of the fridge and placed it on the table carefully pulling the plastic off.
The pup was following Danny around the kitchen. The smell of food made him wag his tail harder and make him more excited.
"Here you go" Danny said holding out a sandwich to the little puppy that couldn't get it in his mouth fast enough.
As the puppy began to devour the sandwich Danny was filling a bowl of water for the pup. As soon as Danny put the bowl down the pup had eating through half the sandwich stopping to lap up the water just as thirsty as it was hungry. Danny had just sat down and took two bites of his own sandwich when he felt something scratching his leg. He looked down to see the puppy pawing at his leg. The sandwich was gone and the bowl was half empty.
"You're hungrier than I thought" Danny said.
The puppy put one paw up and then the other paw up standing on his hind legs in classic begging position. Danny gave a chuckle at the dog's antics. Danny slipped the puppy a second sandwich. While Danny was busy looking for a soda in the fridge and the puppy was chewing the sandwich, the pup sensed something wrong and picked up a scent it knew was bad.
The puppy picked up the sandwich and headed in the direction of the scent, which happened to be the basement. As soon as Danny found his soda and turned around the puppy was gone.
"Great if my parents find a dog running around the house I'm dead" Danny said as he began to search for the puppy.
The puppy had gotten down the stairs of the basement. It stepped into the middle of the room and stood facing the open Fenton Portal. All the sudden a green mist came out and started to form into a figure. The puppy dropped it sandwich on the floor next to one of the counters and pulled its lips back showing in teeth growling.
As Danny finished checking the family room a blue mist started to come out of his mouth.
"Great just what I need now" Danny said.
"Going Ghost" Danny yelled as two blue rings passed over him transforming him into Danny Phantom.
He then phased through the floor into the basement. Danny was surprised to see the little puppy attacking a green clad ghost ninja. The pup had guts he'd give him that much. Then the pup was flung back into the counter. Beakers of chemicals spilled all over the floor and some onto the pup.
Danny decided he should take over before any more damage took place.
As the puppy began to stand up one last container rolled off and shattered on the floor covering the puppy and its sandwich. The container just happened to be holding an ecto plasmic sample. The glowing green slime slowly began to sink into the pup's fur and skin. It also seemed to be absorbed into the sandwich too.
Danny finally captured the ghost into the Fenton thermos and transformed back to Danny Fenton. Danny was rather happy that didn't last long as he heard to front door open and Jazz's voice saying 'Danny are you home?'
The puppy had started to continue eating its sandwich when Danny picked him up quickly and ran up the stairs. He throw the puppy into his backpack, he conveniently dropped at the basement door, just as Jazz walked in.
"What are you up to Danny?" Jazz asked as she saw her brother breathing heavily and having a guilty looking smile on.
"Nothing what would make you think I was up to something" Danny said carrying his backpack outside the front door with him.
He dropped the backpack and pulled the puppy out who was rather confused as to what just happened. Danny left the puppy outside with his sandwich as he went back inside and into the lab to clean up the mess before his parents got home.
The puppy just continued to eat its sandwich and unknown to any one both the sandwich and puppy started glow a ghostly green.
A/N chapter two was a bit short so you get chapter 2 and 3. And isn't Mr. Create a great teacher I wish he was mine. Plus next chapter the pup will get a name for those of you with no patience. Now review will I drive my dog Chloe to Doggy Day Care (she's insane I had jet fuel in my kibble kind of dog. The other dogs fear her, up side while she there I only have to give her only one walk when she gets home).
