Dani's Friend
It was a beautiful Saturday morning, Dani got dressed excitedly, she was going to see her best friend from 1st grade. Dani ran out of the house as fast as she could. It didn't take long for Dani to realize that, she had no clue where her friend lived. 'Maybe Danny knows.' Dani thought.
Dani turned around to the house next to hers that said Fenton Works. She walked up to the door and rang the door bell, hoping this was the right house. A man in an orange jump suit opened the door. "Hello, may I help you?" The man asked.
"Is Danny home?" Dani asked.
"Danny door!" The man called.
"Oh, hey Dani, whets up?" Danny asked.
"I was wondering if you would like to go visit an old friend of mine with me." Dani said.
"Sure." Danny closed the door. They walked down the street together.
"Uh, Danny do you know a Samantha Goodman?"
Danny stopped as if he had hit a wall," Yeah, what about her?"
"Where does she live, she's the person I want to visit." Dani said.
Danny sighed," Just follow me."
Dani followed Danny; they passed Casper High, than they came by a cemetery. Danny walked inside, confused, Dani followed. Danny halted at a Gravestone, "There."
Dani read the Gravestone:
Samantha Nicole Goodman
February 10th, 1992 - March 28th 2005
A friend that won't be forgotten.
"No." Dani said, a tear rolled down her face. "W-what ha-hap-ppened to her."
"She was murdered, partly my fault she was too. She had been my friend for 7 years. I remember that one year ago she went to my house, and she got caught in a lab accident with me." Danny said.
"If I was here just, just two weeks ago, I would have been able to see her." Dani said.
"No, she had been missing for a month... but than-" Danny stopped," Never mind."
"What about Kyle than, Kyle Clarkson." Dani said, tears still rolling down her face. Danny pointed to the Gravestone next to hers. "My two best friends... dead." Dani said.
"They were both your best friends?"
"Yes! They both are dead, I-I'm gonna go home now Danny." Dani ran back home as fast as she could.
She was halfway home with in a minute," Dani?" A woman's voice came out from behind her. Dani stopped and turned around. "Dani, you've grown up so fast!" It was Ms. Goodman. "Please, come in. I have something for you." Ms. Goodman put her hand on Dani's back and led her inside her house. "Just sit down; I need to get something for you."
"Okay." Dani said, she was still crying silently.
Ms. Goodman came back with a picture frame and an envelope. "I'm sorry to say that Sammy isn't alive any more, and neither is Kyle."
"I just found that out." Ms. Goodman handed Dani the picture frame and the envelope.
"Take these; Sammy would have wanted you to have them." Dani took the items and left Ms. Goodman's house.
Dani ran back home, tore her way up the stairs and slammed her bedroom door. Dani's mom banged on her door," Dani! What put you under the impression that it's okay to slam doors?"
"Leave me alone! Just leave me alone to die!"
"I thought you were going to go see Sammy and Kyle."
"They're dead! Both of them!" Dani screamed, crying hysterically. There was silence, Dani's mom had left. Dani opened the envelope and found a letter.
February 17th 2004
Dear Dani,
Hey what's up! I still haven't forgotten you over these past 5 years! Amity Park is a great city Dani. I have made a friend here his name is Danny Fenton; I think it's funny that your name is Fenton and his is Fenton. Maybe we could get together some time and just hang out? Me and Kyle plan on going down the creek that's not to far from my house next month maybe you could come then? Oh yeah, almost forgot my Birthday was just a week ago I am now officially 11 years old woohoo!
Your Best Friend,
Sammy
P.S. On the back is a letter from Kyle.
Dani turned over the paper to see what Kyle had written:
Dear Danielle,
Hey Danielle how's it? Samantha's birthday party was a blast! I gave her a gag gift, you know a card that's been glued together, I got some kicks out of that. Samantha was kind enough to let me write a letter on the back of hers, it was the only way I would allow her to finish it. I hope you are able to come over here in Amity Park soon!
Your Other Best Friend,
Kyle Clarkson
"I wonder why they never sent it." Dani said, she looked at the envelope:
Returned due to no address
"Of course, Kyle sent it probably." Dani laughed a little. There was something else inside the envelope. It was a picture of Sammy and Kyle together. Sammy had short black hair and blue eyes; she was wearing a plain black shirt, with her favorite baggy jeans. Kyle's had really short brown hair, and hazel eyes, he was wearing a plain navy blue shirt and his usual baggy jeans. The most stunning thing in the picture was that Kyle was holding Sammy in his arms and Sammy's arms around his neck. Had they been together? Dani looked at the back of the picture it had writing on it:
Me and Kyle's first Date
February 11th 2004
"I always knew that would have happened." Dani said, still crying. Dani looked at the picture frame there was another photo in there, it was from 1st grade, when Sammy, Kyle and Dani had first met. Sammy was wearing a pink shirt and baggy jeans; her hair was very long and was a dark brown. Kyle wore a plain white shirt and some sweat pants. Dani was wearing a purple shirt and a jean skirt.
Suddenly Dani felt like something entered her, she put her hand on her forehead. Dani took the items that Ms. Goodman had given her, and put them on her nightstand. Dani thought about how she looked like yesterday during the lab accident, and she one silvery ring formed in the middle of her and formed into two rings. Dani now looked like how she did the previous day.
She flew through her roof, and flew around Amity Park. She scared little kids that came near her, and made people break expensive things. She did this out of all of her anger from her two friend's deaths. Dani saw a kid walking through the streets, she decided to scare him, but when she raised her hands up to scare the kid, two glowing green beams came shooting out of her hands and hit the kid.
Dani looked at her hand, "Cool." Dani said, watching the kid fly backwards and hit a telephone pole.
Dani flew up high in the air, shooting people when she felt like it. Minutes later she saw something flying towards her, it was a ghost boy, he looked her age, and he too had snowy white hair and green eyes. He wore a black and white jump suit though.
"Come on, fighting ghosts are one thing, but fighting ghosts that look like me?" The ghost boy said.
'I'm a ghost huh? Well, I guess than people can call me Dani Phantom.' Dani thought, "So you fight ghosts huh?" Dani said.
"Yeah, only ghosts like you though."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You've been shooting people."
"Oh, you mean like this." Dani shot a green beam at the ghost boy. "So, I'm Dani Phantom and you are?"
The ghost boy flew back at Dani and shot a green beam at her, "Uh, Danny Phantom. Can we talk for a moment?"
Dani lowered her hand," Sure."
Danny looked at Dani," Your Dani Fentun aren't you."
"How, how'd you know?"
"Because, I'm Danny Fenton."
"Huh..."
"You know how I told you at the grave yard how me and Sammy were caught in a lab accident. That accident gave us both ghost powers, and knowing your parents are ghost hunters, they probably are making a portal too." Danny said.
"So, Sammy-"
"Had ghost powers too, yes."
"Danny!" Dani hugged Danny, "I need to talk about Sammy." Dani was crying.
"Okay, let's go over to the park okay?" Danny took Dani down to the park; they turned back into their normal selves and walked over to a bench. "So, what about Sammy do you need to talk about?"
"How did she die and how is it partly your fault?"
Danny looked a little depressed being asked this question," A ghost named Vlad came by and attacked our school. I followed him back to his house and saw Sammy strapped to a chair, Vlad was using Sammy to get me to get rid of my dad. I almost decided to do it to save Sammy, but Sammy started to argue with Vlad and Vlad got rid of her. She died exactly one year after she had gotten her powers."
"What about Kyle?" Dani asked.
"Vlad got rid of him searching for Sammy down at a creek the day after the accident, from what Sammy had said; Kyle pushed her under a box."
"The creek?" Dani remembered the letter Sammy and Kyle had sent inviting her to the creek.
"Yeah it's over there." Danny pointed over to a bunch of bushes. Dani got up, and ran to her home with out saying goodbye. "What was that about, she reminds me of Sammy." Danny said as he watched Dani runaway.
I was working on this chapter all week, and than I was almost finished and I had to go clean out the fridge I'm still gagging from the mold and the smells!
I know I tied this in with one of my other books but I already had mentioned Dani in a story with my character Sammy so I had to do it.
