A/N I know I said earlier that the puppy's name was going to be in this chapter well I kind of lied. You're going to have to wait a little longer until then you guys and girls will just have to guess plus I'd love to hear what you think it's going to be. Now here's another Dash beating, Jazz ranting, Danny freaking, and puppy cute chapter.
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.4 Of Dogs and Of Dash
The next morning started as it always did and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. The puppy, that had been following Danny for two days, seemed to have just disappeared.
Danny spent the rest of the school day trying to keep one step ahead of Dash who was staying true to is earlier threat. Danny had been using his ghost powers most of the day to avoid Dash.
It was the five minute passing period between sixth and seventh period. Danny was currently staying invisible and phasing through walls to get to his next class. He had been able to avoid Dash most of the day and he didn't want to end his luck. Danny was just outside his final class for the day. He hind behind one of the trash bins and then became visible and walked into class.
As Danny took his seat Sam turned to him with a rather displeased look on her face.
Sam leaned in towards Danny ant Tucker and whispered "Danny it's not wise to use your ghost powers all around school."
"And getting killed by Dash is a better alternative" Tucker yelled.
"Okay class lets get started" Mr. Cerate announced.
All the students took their seats and stopped talking.
"I'd like every one to turn in their papers then take a book from my book case and read. Or you could take a comic book from my collection in the back room or game or props. Take whatever it does whatever you need to spark your imagination." Mr. Create finished.
Towards the end of class one wouldn't know it was a class. Two students were having a fight with fake light sabers, some were wearing Halloween masks, some playing board games, and others were reading comics or books.
"Man, this comic was old when my dad was young" Tucker said taking another comic out of a box they found.
"He's got one hell of a collection" Danny said shifting a stack of Superman comics over.
Mr. Cerate looked up from his book to the clock.
"Okay class five minutes till the end of class pick up and put everything back," Mr. Cerate said "also if you have any time over the weekend read chapter seven in your books especially any one who got a C or lower on their last story."
The bell rang singling the end of school. Danny didn't see Dash at all in the halls after class it was like a higher power was on his side.
"TGIF" Tucker said as they walked home.
"You're telling me," Danny started "it's a Friday afternoon we need to do something to celebrate."
"The arcade has a new game, attack of the undead" Sam said.
"Why not we haven't been to the arcade in a while" Tucker shouted.
Danny spent an hour at the arcade with his friends before they ran out of quarters and decided to call it a day.
Danny was walking home alone like always when he was two houses away from home like yesterday when blue mist escaped Danny's mouth. He went on the defensive and did a quick scan over the area. Danny was confused he didn't see anything but he was about to see the next worse thing.
Dash walking out of Danny's house; how he could forget with the horrible English grade they waste no time getting him a tutor but why did it have to be Jazz. If only I had a few more quarters, then I could of stayed at the arcade longer and then avoid this.
"Well Fenton so glad I caught you" Dash said coming up to Danny.
There was no way out now and Dash has been saving up for this two days.
Danny thought if I'm going down better get something off my chest.
"Doesn't the lesser of two evils have something better to do" Danny shouted out.
"What are you saying Fenton" Dash said.
"I was just saying something as evil, stupid, and ugly as you could find something more suited to your talents like sucking up and losing games" Danny got out.
No body knew how long Danny had been waiting to have the courage to say that to Dash. Now the only thing to do was brace him self for his doom.
Danny took a punch in the eye; he knew that would leave a mark. Before Danny had time to get his bearings back he found Dash holding him by the collar and slamming him up against a brick wall.
"You've got one hell of a death wish Fen-dead cause when I'm done with you they wouldn't even be able to identify your body even if they used your dental records" Dash roared pulling his fist back.
Danny's life was flashed before his eyes, god his life was dull and uneventful until the accident.
Suddenly Dash was forcefully pulled from behind, making him drop Danny in surprise. Danny fell right on his butt slumped up against the wall. Danny wasn't sure what happened. He stood up his head hurting from seeing double out his now black eye. He closed that one eye to see straight.
And what he saw was great. Dash was lying on the sidewalk on his back shaking from fear of what was over him. A large pure white dog, at least the size of a Great Dane, was standing over Dash with one of its large paws on his chest pinning him to the ground. Its lip was pulled back revealing its sharp teeth that were inches from Dash's neck. The dog was giving off the most menacing growl imaginable, its ears pulled back, and its tail was raised high. The fur on its shoulders was standing on end and its eyes were narrowed on Dash every now and then glancing at Danny.
Danny had no idea whose dog this was or were it came from but if it was treating Dash who really cares.
It was odd it looked like it was going to rip Dash apart but it seemed to be holding back like waiting for something. It kept glancing at Danny like waiting for him to give the okay. Then Danny got a brilliant idea.
Danny walked over to the side of Dash and said "So I see you meet my new buddy."
"Yeah, h-how about getting your b-b-buddy to let me g-go" Dash said shaking and stuttering as he spoke.
"You know I'd like to but he has this problem," Danny started "he doesn't like it when people hit and threaten me."
"Hey, come on Fenton I was just j-joking" Dash said in a high frightened squeak.
"It didn't seem that way to me" Danny turned his head just enough to show Dash his black swollen eye then touched it and made sure Dash saw him wince in pain.
"Listen Fenton I'm real sorry" Dash yelled in a desperate attempt to get free.
"Hm, you know he hasn't eaten in a while and you're looking pretty good to him," Danny added "plus I have no grantee you won't try this again."
"I promise Fenton I won't bother you or your loser friends again" Dash said.
"What you say about my friends?" Danny asked.
"I mean I promise I w-won't bother you or your amazing f-friends' just call of your dog" Dash tried.
"Well, I guess I can let you go this time" Danny said Dash's begging music to his ears.
"Come on boy, let him go" Danny said as he was about to try and pull the dog off Dash but the dog just gave a snap inches from Dash's face then lifted his paw off him and stepped back. Dash took off in record speed not looking back.
Danny was surprised the dog listened to his command. Then turned its head to Danny and he saw the dog's eyes while they were wide open and noticed they were a glowing green.
"Wait a minute, you're a ghost dog" Danny yelled getting ready to go ghost.
But before he did the dog had two rings passed over it and all that was left in front of Danny was the small black puppy that Danny had following him for the last two days.
"Okay, this is not what I was expecting" Danny said with surprise.
"But how," it hit Danny like a ton of bricks "the chemicals in the lab."
Everything was going just perfect if you don't count Dash hadn't been shipped off to a military school over seas. Now Danny had a halfa dog to take care of. Danny thought about this for a moment.
'This may not be to bad, I mean he attacked that one ghost and what he did to Dash this could be a blessing in disguise' Danny thought to himself.
And yet there was a question tugging at the back of his mind and just came out and said it.
"But all that for a sandwich or were you in that ally way because that ghost was chasing you and you've been trying to pay me back this whole time?"
The puppy gave a nod and barked.
"Wait a minute normal dogs aren't smart enough to nod, are they?" Danny asked out loud.
The dog just stood there looking up at Danny wagging it tail.
"Okay IQ thoughts later there's other things we should be doing" Danny said picking up the dog.
Danny slowly walked inside and looked around. He could hear music coming from Jazz's room meaning she was most likely preoccupied with something up stairs. He saw a note from his parents on the fridge.
Out getting groceries be back in an hour.
Great Danny said taking off his backpack and opening it. The little puppy hopped out of Danny's backpack.
"Mom and Dad are out and knowing Jazz we shouldn't be disturbed for a while" Danny told the puppy. "Come on" Danny said mentioning for the puppy to follow him to the lab.
"Okay let's do a little session to see just what kind of powers a halfa dog has" Danny said once they were in the lab.
"First transform" Danny said.
The puppy just looked up at him and cocked it head to the side.
"Like this" Danny said and gave a demonstration, two blue rings passing over Danny transforming him ghost.
The puppy barked and then two lime green rings passed over the puppy starting at the middle then one passing the head and the other passing his tail.
The puppy's small body was now larger, its black fur was pure white, and its brown eyes were a glowing green.
"Just like me my hair turns white and your fur turns white and both our eyes glow green, but why can't I gain a few inches when I transform."
"Any way next is levitate and flying" Danny said as he did a demonstration by floating a few inches of the ground then shooting up to the ceiling of the lab.
The puppy ran forward picked up its front legs and pushed of the ground with its back legs launching it forward straight into Danny. The puppy hit Danny square in the chest not knowing how to control it flying.
Danny getting his air back took hold of the dog and went back down the ground setting the dog down.
"Let's work on the control of flying later. But let's try invisibility and going intangible."
"Go invisible like this" Danny did an example and went invisible the puppy copied. Then Danny returned to visibility and the pup followed suit.
"Okay now intangible" Danny said then phased his hand through the wall.
The puppy watched then phased its head through the wall like Danny's hand. Danny laughed at the now what looked like a headless dog.
"Danny you down there" Jazz yelled from top of the stairs to the basement.
"Great! Turn invisible now" Danny said in a panic to the pup.
The pup slowly disappeared as Danny transformed back.
Jazz got to the bottom of the stairs and looked around.
"Danny what are you doing down here, I swear you spend more time down here than mom or dad" Jazz said.
"It's the perfect place to get away from snobby, nosy, know-it-all sisters" Danny said.
Jazz was about to yell at him when she noticed Danny's black eye.
"Danny what happened to you?" she asked running forward to look at Danny.
"It's all thanks to know-it-all sisters teaching the biggest bully in school" Danny said.
"What's that suppose to mean" Jazz said.
"It means you were tutoring Dash so when I came home he was ready to beat me up, sick of his bulling I said a few insults and took a hit." Danny answered.
"If you hadn't insulted him he'd leave you alone" Jazz said once again mad at her brother thinking he had more common sense.
"He's always beating me up and I stayed quit long enough" Danny said. "You think you know everything but you know nothing about the school society."
Jazz was mad at Danny's smart mouth today. She made an attempt to slap him but Danny dodged it.
"That the best you can do Jazz" Danny said laughing.
"I will not sink to your level little AAIEEEEE" Jazz screamed as she nearly jumped into Danny's arms.
Jazz turned around and Danny looked past her at the little black puppy standing on a chair right behind Jazz. It had done what all dogs do when meeting someone new and sniffed Jazz's posterior. Danny would have laughed had it not been for Jazz's next reaction.
"Danny you brought a dog in the house" Jazz screamed "A dirty, wild, stray at that." Jazz's inner thoughts- it's soooo cute! No can't give in to its cuteness.
"Mom is so going to kill you, throw it out right now" Jazz said.
"No, I was thinking of keeping it" Danny said.
"Are you crazy" Jazz yelled. I want to keep the cute mutt too.
"No, I always wanted a dog" Danny said.
"Mom will never let you keep that dog" Jazz argued.
"O Yeah, we'll just see I beat I can" Danny shouted.
"This ought be good, I'm going to the store to pick up a few books I ordered, don't start convincing mom until I get back I want to watch you crash and burn." Jazz said walking out. I hope mom gives in it's so cute.
"She thinks she knows everything but I have a brilliant plan" Danny said.
The puppy just looked at him and cocked his head to the side again.
Danny was currently in the bathroom filling the tub with water. The puppy was looking through the drawers and cabinets in the bathroom.
"There" Danny said turning off the water. "Here boy" Danny said calling the puppy over.
The pup walked over happily having no idea what was going to happen. Danny picked him up and dropped him in the tub. Like any dog he didn't want to take a bath and Danny was battling with him to keep him in the tub and wash him.
By the time he was done Danny was half as wet as the puppy. Danny turned around to grab the towel and dry the puppy off. To bad the puppy wasn't about to wait for a towel and dried its self off like normal dogs do. The puppy began shaking spraying water in every direction. Now half the bathroom was wet and Danny was completely soaked.
"You did that on propose didn't you" Danny said with a displeased look standing above him.
It looked almost as if the puppy was grinning and laughing at him.
"Now I have to change into a pair of dry clothes" Danny said walking out of the bathroom to his bedroom to change.
'Serves you right making me take a bath' the puppy said.
Once Danny was in dry clothes he was looking in draws of the bathroom for Jazz's collection of brushes. Hey she deserves it for insulting his dog besides she only had like twenty.
As he was just finishing brushing the puppy's black fur he heard the sound of the front door open and his parents' voices.
'Okay phase one clean up the dog done time to put phase two in motion' Danny thought.
He put the dog in his room and told the dog to wait there as he left.
Danny proceeded downstairs into the kitchen. His parents had bags of groceries on the table and were currently putting them away.
"Hi mom, dad have I told you recently how much I respect you and do you need help put the groceries away?" Danny said very quickly.
"Okay Danny what do you want" Maddie Fenton said looking at her son.
"What a kid can't be nice to his parents once and a while" Danny responded.
Upstairs the puppy was getting bored waiting for Danny then he noticed a soccer ball under Danny's bed. The puppy nudged the ball out from under the bed and started playing with it. He was pushing it around with his nose and the ball rolled out Danny's half open door. The puppy followed it into the hallway he pushed it down the hall until to stop just balancing at the top of the stairs.
In the kitchen Danny was still work on phase two with his parents.
"Well, remember when I got that gerbil" Danny said and added in his mind 'that Tucker says he accidentally killed in the sixth grade.'
"You want another gerbil" Maddie asked.
"No not exactly a gerbil per say" Danny started.
"Then what is it, just say it already" Maddie said standing in front of her son, arms crossed.
The puppy was sneaking up on the ball getting ready to pounce on it. The pup jumped forward knocking the ball down the stairs. The puppy followed the ball bounding down the stairs. The ball bounced around the family room and was slowing down when the pup jumped up and knocked it into the kitchen. The ball whizzed pass Danny's face and hit Jack's thick head making him drop the cartoon of milk he was currently drinking from. It then bounced off the wall over Maddie's head and rolled to a stop under the table.
Just than the puppy came running in after the ball. The pup tried to stop before hitting the table but couldn't and took the table down with the last bag of unpack groceries spilling them all over the floor. Good thing there was no damageable items in that bag. The Fentons looked from the mess to the puppy standing next to his prize, the ball.
"So can I keep him" Danny said with a guilty grin on. And odd enough at that point Jazz walked in.
A/N I hope you enjoyed no review or Chloe queen of doggy day care will come for you and your little dog too.
