She pointed off into the distance, indicating who she wanted to ask the first question. It was another person from her orphanage, and he said something too quietly to be heard. "What?" Danny asked, and he seemed to gain courage from that one word.
"Could you give us a list of all your powers Danny?" he said, his voice high pitched from being singled out.
"Of course. Let's see, there's transformation, which you've seen. Then there's my ghost sense, a weird blue mist that comes out of my mouth and warns me a ghost is near. Intangibility, Invisibility, and Flight are all basic powers every ghost possesses, and I'm no different. I also have paranormal strength, speed, agility, and durability.
"Oh, and one time when I was fighting Dora," he smiled over at her, "I turned into this cool blue mist, kind of like my ghost sense, and escaped from her grasp. Now, let's see, I can also overshadow or posses a person, and force them to do whatever I want. I can also shoot blasts of ectoplasmic energy out of my hand and, apparently, my rear end as well.
"With this power I can also create shields and either absorb or deflect attacks. I can also walk on walls, but I guess that's kinda like flying. I can also change the shape of my body if I want to. Watch," he instructed, closing his eyes as his body formed an O shape, then returned back to normal.
"Geeze this list is getting long… Next is my Ghost Stinger, although I've only used it once to save Wulf," he patted the ghost affectionately here. "I learned this next power while battling my evil future self, and call it the Ghostly Wail. Basically I can destroy anything in my way with it, and it's quite powerful.
"Oh, there's also duplication, although I'm still trying to master that. Sometimes I form into two me's, sometimes I form into a two headed me. Really just depends. And before anyone asks, Vlad has all my powers except the Ghostly Wail. He also has some other ones, let me see if I can remember them…
"Ah, yes, he can absorb my attacks and fire them back at me. He also can make, like, four Vlads at once. Plasmius can also turn ectoplasm into solid objects, which I think is pretty cool. He, unfortunately, has teleportation, which I wish I had. I think that's about it, though," he concluded, and he could actually hear the people scribbling on their notepads. The girl seemed to be having the best time, and pointed to someone Danny knew from school.
"Umm, yeah, like what was that Clockwork dude talking about with the whole 'evil future self,' and 'Jack the half-ghost?'" she asked, and Danny flinched noticeably.
"He doesn't have to answer that," Jazz stated, but Danny just shook his head.
"Alright. I was supposed to become evil, due to an explosion at the Nasty Burger. Sam, Tucker, Mom, Dad, Jazz, and Mr. Lancer were all killed instantly, and I went to Vlad for comfort. There he respected my wish of having no pain, and tore the ghost out of me. However, my ghost self didn't much appreciate this I guess, because he ripped the ghost out of Vlad too.
"My ghost self, known as Phantom, tried to fuse with Plasmius, only to have the evil overtake him. Then he killed me, flying off and taking over the world. The details are kinda sketchy, though, so I don't know that much about it.
"Next is the half-ghost Jack thing. Basically, Vlad gave Sam and Tucker the lethal ecto-acne he had, so I would find a cure. I tried going back in time, stopping the accident from affecting Vlad. Unfortunately, my father was the target of the blast. He became half-ghost, Vlad married Maddie, and Jazz and I never existed. So I went back to Clockwork, stopped myself from stopping the accident, and found the cure. Simple as that," he explained, before hearing Clockwork clear his throat.
"Daniel, would you mind handing me a Fenton Thermos or two?" he asked, and a surprised teenaged ghost handed him the cylindrical container, taking the one from Sam and Tucker and tossing it to the ghost as well. He opened it up, pointing it above the left, front corner of the crowd as a small portal appeared.
Danny felt his stomach lurch at the sight of his evil future self, Clockwork nonchalantly sucking him into on of the thermoses and proceeding to suck that Thermos into the other Thermos. Danny let out the breath he had been holding, not knowing why Clockwork directly interfered right then.
"Aren't the Observants going to be mad at you for that?" Danny asked, and Clockwork smiled.
"They left me in charge of both you and your evil self, and I took charge. Now, I must be off. Need to get started on cleaning up my place," the elderly ghost said, disappearing with the sweep of a clock hand.
Nobody moved for a few seconds, until everyone leapt into action and started writing everything down. The girl on Danny's shoulder's resumed her furious giggling, pointing to a Latino girl towards the front the ghost-boy knew all too well.
"Danny, will you marry me?" Paulina asked, and Danny rolled his eyes.
"No. I gave you a chance as Fenton, you blew me off," he said, his voice sharp but not unkind. All the boys in the crowd stood with their mouths open, thinking they would never, ever, reject The Paulina. Then they started to laugh, even those close friends of hers, and she shook in fury.
"Nobody rejects me. NOBODY!" she bellowed, lunging at Danny…
…And having three police officers grab her and escort her off the premises.
"Now, anybody else want to propose to me?" he asked, humor thick in his voice.
