A/N I am so irritated right now some idiot that works in the office building I clean left a trial of crumbs through to whole room and I had to vacuum all that up. Evil plot much! I wish I had a half ghost dog I could sneak in he'd take care of all the crumbs. Any ways here you go another chapter and in this chapter Danny's dog gets his name.
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.6 Welcome to the Family and Shopping
The next morning was Saturday so Danny didn't set his alarm clock and was hoping to sleep in this morning. To bad Danny was going to get an odd wake up call.
Danny was rather cold and reached over to pull his covers over him. He quickly pulled to covers over him self and the quick movement of the covers awoke the pup.
The puppy cracked his eye open to see what was happening and when he did both eyes flew open. His Danny was no longer on the bed but was floating in mid air next to his bed. The pup wasn't sure what to do but when in doubt bark.
Danny moaned as the pup kept barking and whining at him.
"Knock it off" Danny said still half asleep.
He tried to grab his pillow and put it over his head to drown out the pup but where his pillow should be it wasn't, all he grabbed was air.
He opened his eyes and realized he was no longer on his bed but next to it floating in mid air. The sudden shock stopped Danny from floating and made him tumble to the floor. The sudden crash onto the wooden floor got the attention from one member of the family.
"Danny, are you okay" came Jazz's voice.
"Um, sure just fell out of bed" Danny responded.
Danny sat up scratching his head in confusion. This wasn't the first time he's woken up to find his powers giving him a surprise. More than on one occasion he had woken up to find him self levitating over his bed but this was the first time off his bed. He must have rolled over off his bed last night and instead of gravity taking its normal course his power kept him up until he woke up.
His was hoping not to repeat that, he'd rather stick to levitating over his bed at least when he woke up from that he landed on a nice soft bed and not the floor.
Danny decided there was no reason to go back to bed since he was already out and probably was for hours but just noticed it now.
He heard a sound like a rough voice laughing. He looked up at the puppy standing on his bed looking down at him.
"O yeah, well wait till it happens to you" Danny said heading for the bathroom.
The puppy cocked it head to side pondering what he said.
Ten minutes later Danny came down the stairs fully dressed with the puppy following Danny like a loyal dog.
Jazz was already the kitchen in her regular position at the table with her nose in another psychology book. Danny could only guess what psychic diagnosis she was going to pull on him. Before Jazz had one word out of her mouth Jack came out of the lab holding up the latest invention. This happened to be a daily ritual in the Fenton household. Both he and Jazz would come down stairs for breakfast. Then Jack would come up with the latest ghost hunting gadget to show off.
"Behold the ghost detector/ extractor is finished" Jack said with pride.
"And" Danny said waiting for it to be explained and be over with it.
"It detects ghost then sucks them up" Jack said.
"Two ghosts decocted straight ahead take four steps forward" the mechanical voice said.
Jack took four steps forward putting him right in front of Danny and his dog.
"Ghost located start sucking" the gadget said.
"That can't be right" Jack said as he turned the gadget around just as it started sucking.
The gadget suction was so strong it got stuck on Jack's face and Jack fought with it to get it off.
"Well I'm leaving before this gets any more humiliating than it all ready is" Jazz said closing her book and leaving.
The pup was staring at Jack strange and Danny noticed and said "Don't worry you get use to it."
Just then Maddie walked up from the lab to see her husband trying to get the latest invention off his face. Maddie being the smarter of the two walked to Jack and switched the invention off.
"The extractor works great but the detector is faulty" Jack said to his wife.
"Well, I can work on that while you take Danny and the dog to the store to buy a collar and food like you promised" Maddie said.
"Of course I was just about to do that" Jack answered.
'Were you planning that before or after you got your face sucked off' Danny thought to himself.
"Well, we're on the subject of the dog you're going to have to give your dog a name Danny" his mother said turning to her son.
"Actually I was thinking of calling him Spook" Danny said.
"What kind of a name is that" Jazz had to comment while retrieving her book from the kitchen.
"What it fits, or did you forget what happened when you two first met" Danny said to his sister.
"I like it" Jack exclaimed.
Later
Jack had taken Danny and now the pup named Spook to the store what store. (Pet Co where else do you go when shopping for your pet.)
Once in the store Spook went straight for the chew toys but Danny grabbed him before he made it to the aisle.
"Chew toys later, we should get you a collar first" Danny said walking to the aisle with leashes, collars, and tags.
There sure was a large selection. There were collars for dogs and cats of course but even for ferrets, rabbits, and lizards. They came in every size, color, and design. Danny decided on the kind of collar, he picked one that you adjust the size of since Spook was still a puppy and may still grow.
Spook picked the color of the collar that turned out to be blue which went quite nice with his black fur. The next thing they need was a leash and tag. Danny just decided to get a standard brown, leather, six foot leash.
Next Spook and Danny went to the tag display.
"Any preferences as to what shape you want your tag to be" Danny asked to Spook as they both looked at the display of tags. They had shapes like a circles, pentagons, bones, and squares.
Spook jumped from Danny's arms and put him self in a pointing position pointing at a circle tag in gold.
"I'd like that one" Danny said to the woman working the tag's counter.
"Okay just fill out this and we'll have it ready in 20 minutes" the lady said giving him a pen a paper. The paper read-
Name -
Owner -
Address -
Danny figure next should be food that Spook was more than happy to do that.
'This one, no this one' Spook said running from bag to bag sniffing each for a moment. Then he noticed the can food on the shelves above him. He then transformed into his ghost dog form so he could reach the fist shelf on his hind legs.
"You can't do that whenever, you got to make sure no one's around to see you" Danny yelled running to Spook and grabbing him by his now long white fur and pulled him from sniffing the cans.
"Now change back before some one comes" Danny said still holding a hand full of his fur.
Spook transformed back to his true form hearing a command in the voice of authority.
Once back in his true form his fur was shorter and so was his body. Danny hadn't let go of the fur when Spook transformed back so now his was holding him off the ground by the scruff of his neck now that his fur was short.
Spook looked up at Danny as if saying okay you can put me down now.
Danny lowered Spook to the ground and let go.
"Okay I'll pick the food since I'm guessing you can't make up your mind" Danny said.
Danny picks up a bag of dry food, puppy formula, and beef flavor.
'No not dry food, get the canned food' Spook said in protest.
Danny just lifted the bag over his shoulder and walked to a different aisle. Spook followed unhappy with Danny's choice. Spook suddenly perked up when he saw he was in the aisle he first wanted to go to.
"Okay now you can pick out some chew toys" Danny said looking down at Spook.
If they could they would of bought one of every toy but so wasn't the case. Spook had to settle for two squeaky toys, a rawhide bone, and a box of milk bones.
Once they were home it was noon and Danny was putting Spooks collar on, complete with tag, when his cell phone rang.
"Hello" Danny said picking in up.
"Hey, what's up" Tucker said from the other line.
"Well, I got something to show you why don't I see you at my house" Danny said.
"What is it" Tucker said his curiosity triggered.
"You're going to have to see it to believe it" Danny said "just come over I'll call Sam." Danny ended and hung up.
Danny pretty much had the same conversation with Sam. Not long after the door bell rang signaling the arrival of his friends.
Danny opened the front door to reveal his two best friends Sam and Tucker.
"Okay we're here where is it" Tucker said.
"Never the patient one were we Tuck" Sam said.
"In my room I can't tell you with my parents around" Danny said.
Once they walked into Danny's room they saw Spook right away laying down very comfortable on his bed.
"Isn't that the dog that was following you?" Tuck asked.
"Yeah, I brought him home yesterday and my parents let me keep him" Danny said.
"What his name" Sam asked.
"I named him Spook after Jazz's first reaction to him" Danny said still smiling at the thought of when Jazz was freaking out again.
About that time Spook got off the bed to greet Sam and Tucker wagging his tail.
"O he's so cute" Sam said in a high, girly voice picking him up in her arms.
Danny and Tucker stood there shocked at the moment.
"You're so adorable" Sam said then stopped seeing her friends' reaction.
"What I'm a girl, I have every right to act like this around a sweet, defenseless animal" Sam said.
"Something I've noticed with girls even Jazz and my mother they just break down like that when it comes to a puppy" Danny whispered to Tuck.
"If your parents all ready know about the dog then why couldn't you talk about it around your parents?" Tucker asked.
"Show them Spook" Danny said.
Spook jumped out of Sam's hold and two rings passed over him and Spook Fenton became Spook Phantom. Spook was bigger and had white fur with glowing green eyes. His collar also changed color from blue to black and his gold tag became silver and the only thing on it was Danny Phantom's symbol.
"Okay this is new" Tuck said.
"It's a long story so have a seat" Danny said.
Tucker took Danny's desk chair, Sam sat next to him on the bed, and Spook transformed back and lied at Danny's feet.
Danny began starting with fighting the ghost wolf/dog.
"It's nice you're taking in the dog but it's hard enough to keeping your powers a secret how are you going to keep a half ghost dog undercover" Sam said as soon as Danny finished the story.
"Well he did kinda save me from Dash" Danny explained.
"That's great Dash getting his butt kicked by a puppy then begging for his life the next day by the same dog" Tucker said.
"Good for him for taking Dash down a notch but that still the matter of keeping this under wraps" Sam said.
"It's better than leaving him on the streets where he could get into any number of trouble with ghost powers at least with me he can have some kind of training to control" Danny tried.
"Control! Danny you have trouble with control," Tucker whipped at Danny "Hi I'm Danny Phantom I mess up a lot with my powers please feel free to expose my secret and defeat me" Tucker ended then laughed.
"I have enough control to overshadow you and make you do something you'll never live down" Danny said glaring at Tucker with glowing green eyes.
"Easy, I was just joking" Tucker said putting his hands up.
"So you're going to try and train him" Sam started.
"Sure I mean he already seems to be able to fight ghosts how hard can a little training in control be" Danny said.
"The famous last words," Sam started "So how are you going to do that?"
"I… have absolutely no idea" Danny said with a defeated tone.
"Thought so" Sam added.
"Well, we'll just play it by ear like when I first go my powers" Danny said.
"This should be interesting" Sam said with a hint of excitement.
A/N well there you go the puppy's name. It fits seeing as he spooks everyone he meets at one point and he still has more people to spook. Next chapter Skateboarding freak Skeeter and Mondays. Mr. Lancer's going to get kick out of this.
