Taking Over Me

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. The wonderful Butch Hartman does. If I did, I'd be flying around with Danny right about now...

New Ghost in Town

"Grounded! How can that be!" Danny exclaimed. Maddie was looking at him very seriously. "You've been late for your curfew for how many days now? I want an honest answer!" she scorned. "Nine," Danny muttered out. "But-" "NO buts," Maddie demanded. Danny was in for it now.

The next day came around, and Danny was heading to English class with Sam and Tucker. "Grounded? For how long?" Tucker said. "A week, and because of it, I can't fight ghosts now! I really screwed up now."

"Oh, take heart, Danny, I'm sure that your mom will let up eventually," Sam said putting her hand on Danny's shoulder. "'Eventually' is the key word, Sam. Mom is really... how should I say it? Stern... especially when it comes to punishment," Danny said. Sam removed her hand and took her seat. Mr. Lancer sprung a pop quiz on the class. Everyone moaned.

Just then, the Box Ghost appeared and everyone ran for their lives. "I am the Box Ghost! Beware, for I will suffocate you beneath my army of boxes!" he said. As soon as the classroom literally disappeared, Danny reached inside himself and found his ghost alter ego. Two baby blue rings appeared around his torso as soon as he shouted, "Going Ghost!" And soon enough, he was Danny Phantom. He flew towards the ghost and prepared to fight. "Could you ever, just once, stay in the Ghost Zone? I really don't have time for this," Danny told the Box Ghost. "Haha! As long as I can get my revenge on you, I will return!" he shouted back. A few ghost rays later, the Box Ghost was confined within the Fenton Thermos.

"I gotta stop wasting time with lame-o ghosts like him," he said to himself. Yet on the good side, Lancer called off the pop quiz. Later, after school, Jazz was walking home slowly behind Danny. "I wonder if I should tell him... No, I shouldn't. He'd freak out and never talk to me again," she said under her breath. "What that Jazz?" Danny said. "Oh, nothing to get worried about," Jazz said aloud.

Danny went upstairs to his room as soon as he got through the door to avoid any contact with his parents who were busily working in the kitchen. Danny web-camed Tucker and Sam. They had their usual nonsense talk about school and what would Danny's parents would invent next. "Maybe they could just, you know, make a Fenton Motion Detector. To like, I don't know, detect motion of ghosts," Tucker said. "What kind of lame invention is that gonna do?" Sam said barely sarcastic. "It was just an idea, Sam. Don't get overworked, ok?" Danny said.

Just then, Danny's ghost sense went off. Danny rushed to the window. And there it was, about half a dozen Ecto-puses were tipping over cars, trash cans, ect. "Great, 6 ectopuses are wrecking the streets, and I can't do anything about it!" Danny exclaimed. "Why can't you go ghost and intangible your way out?" Sam said. "Last night, my parents coated my room with ecto-paint to keep any ghosts from entering, or exiting." Danny said. "Overprotective parents much?" Sam said. "You said it," he replied. Danny watched helplessly as the street was wrecked.

Just then, an ocean water colored stream of light caressed the afternoon sky. "Huh?" Danny said. "A new ghost?"
