Of course, when he got to school, he found out it was going to be even longer. Dash was in the "holiday spirit," and that meant trouble for the halfa.
"Hey Fentini, your shoe's untied." Danny wasn't sure whether to not look down and be pummeled into a pulp, or to look down and get humiliated. Which one will last longer? The bruises will hurt until they heal. Good thing I'm half ghost. But being humiliated would last longer, and they'd all keep bringing it up until next year or later. He looked at Dash.
"Uh, Dash, you must be mistaken, because it's your shoe that's untied." The bully looked down at his tied shoelaces as Danny walked away. After all the stuff I put up with ghost hunting, Dash is almost as pointless as the Box Ghost. He chuckled to himself as Dash realized he'd been tricked. "April Fools, Dash." He laughed as he started to run. He decided he wanted to wait until after school to get beaten up, like he knew would happen as soon as Dash caught him.
"Fenton! You're going down!" Dash yelled as he chased after Danny. He ducked into a hallway Looking around, he saw nobody could see him and went invisible, confusing Dash. I swear, getting away from him is almost too easy now. At least I'm not getting pummeled by him all the time any more. Turning visible, he went and found Tucker and Sam.
"Guess who pulled a prank on me today." Danny said as he walked up to them. They're never gonna get this one, it's too crazy.
"Skulker? Yeah, he pranked us too." Sam answered. Danny looked at his friends. Sam continued. "What did he do? A projection of a figure that looked like you dead, or threaten to rest your pelt at the foot of his bed again?"
"Neither. A fake bomb. At least he uses variety. And I don't see how a fake dead me could fool me. I am me."
"Oh, right. He used that one on me. He scared the heck out of Tucker though, with his glowing blade. I wish I could've seen the look on his face!" Suddenly, a giant-screen TV came down from the ceiling. On it was a movie of Tucker running around, squealing in delight. The three just sat there, blinking.
"Tuck, you reacted like that? I thought you hated anything sharp!" Danny laughed. Just as suddenly, his ghost sense went off, and he groaned. As long as they're here to pull a prank and not kill me, I shouldn't care. I have a feeling that by the time the day's over, I'm gonna wish that I'd just had to fight all these ghosts.
"Haha, April Fools, children." Desiree said, appearing in front of them. "Your friend here didn't react like that." Tucker glared at her.
"Why does everyone like making fun of me?" He asked. Danny looked at him, blinking. Desiree pressed a button on a remote and the imaged switched to Tucker screaming before disappearing. Heads everywhere turned and saw the footage. Tucker slumped to the floor as everyone started laughing. Danny and Sam rolled their eyes and helped him leave the general area as teachers tried to figure out how to turn the sound down or off.
As the trio sat down in English class, Danny's ghost sense went off again. Great, who's here to pull a prank on me now? He banged his head on his desk and left it there.
"Mr. Fenton, is there a problem?" Lancer asked. Danny picked his head up, obviously annoyed. He glared at his teacher.
"Other than the fact that everyone who hates me is out to get me? I'm fine." He groaned. He let his head fall on his desk again. The class looked at him slightly worriedly. Even if he is a geek, he has ties to Phantom somehow, and so he should be treated nicer than his geeky little friends. Paulina thought. She started to get up, but Mr. Lancer glared at her pointedly, and she immediately sat down again.
"Mr. Fenton, this is not a very nice idea for an April Fools' day joke. Please see me after class." Danny groaned again. When did this day get so bad? Oh, right, when I woke up. Now, there's a ghost in the classroom and I'm probably going to get a detention. Remind me I hate April Fools' Day.
The ghost that popped into visibility this time was Youngblood, Parrot ghost on his shoulder. He was giving Mr. Lancer Bunny ears, and anyone who thought they were a kid was laughing. Mr. Lancer raised an eyebrow, trying to figure out what was happening. Looking up, Danny saw the ghost sticking his tongue out at the teacher. He merely shook his head and decided to say something. He raised his hand, and Mr. Lancer called on him.
"Mr. Lancer, there's a ghost behind you. He's making fun of you. That's why there's all this laughing." Lancer raised an eyebrow at this.
"Yes, Mr. Fenton, I'm sure there is." Mr. Lancer rolled his eyes, and was about to continue his lesson when Kwan raised his hand. He called on the football player.
"Fenton's not joking, there seriously is a ghost making fun of you. And he's got a parrot, too. Do you think Polly there wants a cracker?" The parrot glared at the boy.
"My name's not Polly, and I don't want a cracker, you twit!" The class erupted into laughter, leaving Lancer completely confused. He saw that only two people weren't either confused or laughing, Danny and Kwan. Danny was merely shaking his head, and Kwan looked hurt.
"Mind if I ask what the "ghost" said, Mr. Fenton?" It was obvious that Danny could hear it, though he didn't seem too happy about it.
"It was the parrot, not the ghost, Sir. He said, 'My name's not Polly, and I don't want a cracker, you twit.' That's why Kwan's looking kinda down. I know that ghost and parrot too, from my parents. That's Youngblood, and only the young or young at heart can see him. He and his parrot can shape shift. They've been a cowboy and a horse as well. Believe me, I've been lectured countless times by my parents." Youngblood glared at him.
"Yes, Mr. Fenton, I'm positive of that." Lancer said sarcastically. "Just as I'm positive that the clouds are cotton candy."
"Golly, I wish they were!" One kid said. Danny Groaned as he watched Desiree make the clouds into cotton candy.
"Well, Mr. Lancer, they are. But I wish the clouds were back to normal." Desiree granted his wish and the clouds changed back. "Ok, they're back." Mr. Lancer looked at his student, now completely confused. Cask of Amontillado! Why do my students tease me like this? I should give them detention, but I'll give them one more shot.
"I don't care if there's a ghost making fun of me, cotton candy clouds, or another ghost invasion, we are going to continue this lesson!" The class groaned in unison, except Paulina.
"If there are ghosts, the ghost boy will be here to save me." She whispered to Star, who nodded. I can't understand what she sees in him. Sure he's cute and all, but he's a ghost! Plus, he doesn't seem to like her as much as she likes him. He seems more after Samantha Manson. Just the thought of her sends shivers down my spine. Why does Valerie even hang out with them? Yeah, we dissed her when she lost her money, but she doesn't need losers like them any more! Danny groaned when he overheard that comment.
"When is Paulina going to get that he's not interested any more?" He whispered to Sam, who laughed. Since they started going out a week ago, he'd been practically ignoring Paulina. Even Tucker had no idea that the two "love birds" he thought he knew so well were together. Nobody else even heard the comment, because Lancer was on a tangent.
"War of the Worlds, miss Sanchez! Please try and control your comments during class time! Mr. Phantom isn't in existence just to save you, you know!" Danny saw that the comment seemed to make a serious dent in her pride. Even though it was true, he kind of felt sorry for the popular girl.
"Hey, Kid! Yea, you, the loony one! I'm gonna tell everyone about you." Lancer didn't hear anything, but he saw Danny's face lose all color. He mouthed the word "no" and looked like he was about to throw up.
"April fools! I won't tell, it's too much fun to see you suffer." With that unheard comment, Lancer saw Danny breathe a sigh of relief, with color starting to come back into his face. Sam and Tucker started whispering in his ear, and within a few seconds, he was smiling.
"Those ghosts Danny! It's almost like they like making your life difficult!" Tucker whispered. Danny looked at his friend, grinning a little, with a raised eyebrow.
"Almost? Where've you been Tucker?" He smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Fenton, Mr. Foley, what seems to be so funny?" The looked at him, eyes widening when they realized they'd been caught.
"Tucker was just telling me a joke. It's pretty good, do you want to hear it?" Mr. Lancer knew this question all too well. This was the typical response of a number of students, a response that would usually get them off the hook with a "no thank you." Not in this class, though.
"Yes please, Mr. Fenton." Danny stiffened up a little. He bit his lip before answering.
"Where did the ghost go on Saturday night? Boo-ling! Not only that, he got a spook-tacular score!" The class groaned. It was not all that good of a joke. Still, it's better than most of the stuff people pull out of thin air. Lancer thought. Then again, he must have a lot of experience, with all the excuses he uses to get out of class and such. I mean, honestly, nobody stays in the bathroom for that long!
"Well, Mr. Fenton, you got yourself out of quite a little predicament, didn't you?" Danny groaned again.
Was April Fools Day ever going to end?
