Disclaimer: You all know the deal right? I don't own Danny Phantom! But this is my original story line... hope you like it!
Please, Please, Please, Please, Please!Review! One liners are totally fine!Just do it!
Jazz Pov…
Danny wasn't always this way. I can still remember when he was known as the smartest boy in his class. He was always smiling then. I don't know what made him change, but, he rarely ever smiles now. There was a time when our whole family was happy, but it's not like that anymore. We all lead separate lives; mom and dad work late every night, Danny doesn't come home till everyone's asleep, and I, sit in the shadows watching them. It's hard to tell we are a family at all.
I think, when it first started to change, no one even noticed. Slowly we went our separate ways; no one saw it coming until it was too late. I watch out my window every night, waiting for Danny to come home, sometimes he doesn't.
My Pov…
Jazz was only a few years older than her brother, but she seemed much more. A once inquisitive young girl now mostly kept to herself. She spent hours writing in her journals trying to find out what had made her family change so dramatically. But no matter how hard she tried she couldn't find the answer.
At school, she tried to act as she always had, but the others noticed the subtle changes in her manner, and in her eyes. Slowly Jazz started to loose the friends that she had had since she was in preschool, until she was left alone. Not even the teachers noticed her anymore. It was like she no longer existed.
Danny Pov…
Lancer was giving another boring speech; I could barely keep my eyes open. Oh the joys of Friday… Danny started drifting off for the umpteenth time that day only to start awake at the slightest noise. I haven't forgotten Lancer's threat, one more detention and death would be the only thing to stop me from being enclosed in a room with my father. That would be worse than death…
My Pov…
Danny tried desperately to pretend that he cared about the lecture, but it was so hard… His eyes started to glaze over as the utter worthlessness of the lesson clouded his mind.
"How far does light travel in a second… Mr. Masters", Lancer asked as if he had been painstakingly deciding which student to ask.
"299 792 Kilometers", Danny replied instantly, his eyes still half closed.
That is, until he realized what he had just said. Danny's eyes went wide, his hand shooting to cover his mouth. What have I done?...
The entire class turned in their seats. Did the idiot/Goth/reject really just say that? The whole class said, in their eyes, if not aloud. Lancer stood dumbfounded, not only had Danny answered a question, but he had done it without hesitation, without thought! I am going to have to watch him more closely from now on…Lancer couldn't let it slide, now he absolutely had to know what the boy was so desperately trying to hide…
Danny Pov…
When the bell rang for lunch I was the first to leave. How could I have been so stupid? Now the whole class would be looking at me again; just when I thought I was finally starting to disappear…
I hid on the roof all lunch but, when the bell rang again, I knew there was no escaping. If I skipped, it would certainly lead to another detention. I couldn't have that. Going ghost, I flew up to my last class, sitting invisible in my seat until the bell rang for the last time. At least now that lunch is over no one can try to talk to me.
That though comforted Danny as he became visible again. Just one more class until this day is over. Lancer's eyes darted towards me as I appeared. There was something deeply wrong with the way he was looking at me. I defiantly have to be more careful…
(Earlier) Sam Pov…
I could tell that Danny wasn't having the best day. Although he tried hard to pay attention to Mr. Lancer's lecture his eye's soon started to wonder towards the window. I saw him yawn one too many times and so did Lancer.
"How far does light travel in a second… Mr. Masters", Lancer asked as if he had been painstakingly deciding which student to ask.
"299 792 Kilometers", Danny replied instantly, his eyes still half closed.
I was shocked, had I really just heard Danny? The sound of twenty chairs scrapping the tiled floor echoed as the entire class turned to face Danny, eyes wide in amazement. Danny looked like he had just eaten a large, unpleasant smelling fish, which was now wriggling inside his stomach. Something must be terribly wrong with the universe today... it's a good thing Tucker got sick…with this, the conspiracy would be totally proven, and I would never hear the end of it!
I waited for the lunch bell to ring, I was dying to ask Danny how he had answered the question so quickly, but when I turned, he was already gone! I searched for him, as did many others from our class, but with no results. Finally, I retreated back to the classroom; there were too many people outside today.
I turned every time to door opened, but as the last seconds of lunch ticked away, Danny still failed to enter the room. A little disappointed that he had escaped so thoroughly, I heard the bell ring at last. Danny's late? I turned again, there he was, in his seat! Something is terribly wrong with the universe today...
My Pov…
The bell rang, marking the end of the day. The class was gone in seconds from the room., not even caring that they hadn't gotten to ask the Goth-boy about earlier; some had even forgotten that it had even happened at all, passing it off as some kind of weird mass-hallucination.
Danny on the other hand, was trapped by Mr. Lancer before he could escape. "Mr. Masters...I had no idea that you were capable of hiding something like this…", Lancer said, pulling Danny closer to him, "…you're a genius, yet you hide in the guise of an idiot. Why?"
"Leave me alone", Danny pulled his arm away, "Class is Over", he seethed as he disappeared out the door, and down the hallway. Crash! Danny looked down at Sam, sprawled on the floor her books scattered around her. Coming out of his stooper, he reached down to help her up. "Are you alright?", he asked gruffly. A flustered Sam stammered, "Fine", and stood up.
After collecting her stuff, she fell in behind Danny, not quite daring to talk to him, his eyes still flashing with a sort of dark loathing whenever he turned around. Rounding the last corner, Danny's hand reached for the door, only to shoot back. Danny shuttered as his ghost sense going off, clouding his breath in front of him…
Danny Pov…
For the love of- never a moment to myself! Sometimes I wish the ghosts could just lay off for a day but nooooo… I almost went ghost right then, that is until I remembered who was following me. "Why are you always stalking me?", I shouted at Sam, turning to face her, "Can't you people ever just leave me alone!".
I don't think I have ever seen someone look so shocked and hurt; but I had to get her to leave… "Well? Get out of here!" I shouted again.
She looked at me, and walked stiffly towards the door before slamming it behind her. Well at least she's gone… I signed, "Now, where is that little bugger? Going Ghost" I changed and, looking up, saw my opponent.
"I have you trapped now, Prey", Skulker was grinning, as he looked at his soon to be 'catch of the day'. "You know, these things never turn out the way you would think", I laughed, pulling up a ghost shield as he fired my first attack. I love fighting. What a perfect way to end a school day!
He laughed again, his eyes gleaming as he shot Skulker again and again and again…
Sam Pov…
I wasn't expecting Danny to shout at me like that… what's his problem anyway? All I wanted to do was be his friend, it's not like that's a crime! I couldn't even say anything when he shouted at me to leave. I slammed the door behind me, but I couldn't let him get away with yelling at me like that. After all, I do have my pride! I opened the door again, turning to give him a piece of my mind, that's when I saw it. One minute, Danny was standing looking down the empty hallway, and the next, there was a ghost standing in his place!
Two rings had opened around him, his hair going from black to silver in an instant. But that wasn't all; he was no longer alone in the corridor. There, above him, was another ghost! Yelling something about Prey, the ghost called to Danny. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw next. It was even more terrifying than the fact that I just saw my newest friend become a ghost… Danny was laughing. Each time he shot plasma? at the other ghost his eyes gleamed even more brightly.
It IS a conspiracy! I backed out the door, hoping neither had noticed me. No one followed, so I ran. I was going to have to think hard about which parts of this story I was going to tell Tucker, that is, if I told him at all…
