Chapter 3
"Listen to me. I have no intention of hurting you. I am simply looking for another ghost who was haunting these halls. Now if you don't mind I have a job to do." Sighed Danny.
Danny flew up towards the roof and went intangible and flew through the roof. Valerie was obviously following him but Danny didn't care. He was trying to find the ghost that had struck him. Probably skulker, was what Danny was thinking. But was he surprised when he saw a new ghost. One he hadn't seen before. In the shape of a octopus with ten tentacles.
"Who ARE you?" Danny shouted out to the odd ghost.
"I am Tenster. The most evil ghost in the world. And I have come to defeat you, the legendary, Danny Phantom." The ghost replied in a slow voice.
"Legendary? You have got to be kidding. Anyway I am sure you aren't the most evil ghost. You look kind of cute. In an odd ghostly way. I'm sure when you're back in the ghost zone you will be much more hap…" Danny was informing the ghost.
"SILENT! I am here to defeat you and that's what I'm going to do!" screamed Tenster.
"Well you better try hard because it isn't going to be easy." Shouted Danny in reply.
Danny got out his hand to fire an ectoplasmic energy beam when the ghost duplicated himself. It seemed everyone could do that trick except for Danny. So Danny was getting ready to hit him when all of a sudden a little hole got shot out of a gun and the ghost sunk into it.
"The portable ghost zone thing." Yelled Danny flying off into the school.
Danny turned invisible and went to change back into a human in the boy's toilet. Two blue rings appeared around him and he was changing into his normal self again.
Danny ran out of the bathroom just in time to hear the bell ring. He ran off into his algebra classroom and took a seat next to Sam, who had the same class as him at that time.
"So are you ok? Did you defeat the ghost? Did Valerie get to you?" Sam asked, in a whisper.
"It's all fine. I have never seen that ghost before though. It said its name was Tenster and it was the most evil ghost in the world. I didn't believe him though. Anyway my parents must have gotten there because I saw him disappear into a hole." Whispered Danny, quite proud of himself.
Just then an announcement went over the PA system. It went like this.
"Students of Casper High. Do not be alarmed. Everyone gather in the auditorium RIGHT NOW! DO NOT PANIC EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK. A GHOST HAS BEEN SPOTTED GOING INTO THE SCHOOL AND WE ARE GOING TO MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS OK." Said a voice.
"MOM!" screamed Danny, as everyone left.
Danny rushed into the auditorium and waited until the scare was over. He sat in the third row next to Sam and tucker with jazz behind him.
"DANNY!" she whispered in his ear.
"What?" said Danny, turning around and looking annoyed.
"You better stop doing this. Someday they might capture you." She whispered again.
" They will not catch me." Sneered Danny.
"Fine" said grumpy jazz, turning around in her seat.
Danny was very bored so he started watching tucker play on his PDA and waited for his mom to come up and say that everything was alright. This kind of stuff happened on a regular basis. So it was no big deal to Danny or the rest of the students. About half an hour later it was over. Danny headed to his last class for the day, science. During science tucker and Danny talked for a while. Then the bell finally rang.
Danny raced out of the school with Sam and tucker. Danny and Sam, as you may have guessed, were holding hands. Danny was blushing as he did not usually show public displays of affection. But this was different. He was holding hands with Sam, his one true love.
"Well I had better go pack now. We are leaving for New York tomorrow and I haven't even started packing yet." Shouted tucker, racing off.
"Do you want to come over to my house or do you have stuff to do?" asked Danny, gazing longingly into Sam's violet eyes.
"Uh… sure I'm not busy. I just have to call my parents and tell them I am going over your house." Replied Sam, blushing.
Sam walked over to a park bench and sat down to ring her parents whilst Danny was trying to find his last dollar that he put in his bag. At last he found it and Sam came walking over.
"I'm allowed to stay until dinner. After dinner I have to go home." Moaned Sam.
"Ah well, at least they are letting you hang around with me still." Laughed Danny.
" I guess." Giggled Sam.
They walked to Danny's house which was quite a far way away from Sam's. When they entered the door they heard a scream. It sounded like jazz's.
"IT'S DONE! IT'S FINALLY DONE!" screamed Danny's father, Jack Fenton.
Danny and Sam walked into the living room to see what it was that Jack had completed. Probably some lame ghost hunting weapon. It probably doesn't even work, again.
"Hey dad, hey mom, hey Jazz. What's this?" sighed Danny, putting down his heavy school bag.
" Oh hi sweetie! Hi Sam. Come in here. Look at what we've just invented" squealed Danny's mom, Maddie Fenton.
"Um, alright." Moaned Danny.
"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Fenton." Said Sam in the usual cheery voice.
"Danny, this is the newly invented Fenton Ghost Grabber. If you press this button it gets out a claw that grabs the ghost. No ghost can escape. Only humans can. Then if you press this pink button, it makes the ghost pass out. And the last button, this orange one, makes the ghost answer truthfully." Spoke jack, in a proud voice.
"Wow! So, if a ghost was caught in it, and somehow it turned human, then the claw would let go of it?" asked Danny, worried.
"Certainly!" squealed Maddie.
"Well, we'll be in my room!" shouted Danny, dragging Sam upstairs.
"Aren't you worried they might use it to catch you?" asked Sam, when they had shut the door. Only it wasn't shut properly.
"Yeah Danny, it is pretty powerful. They could find out your entire identity." Said jazz, walking into the room.
"Ahhh! Oh jazz, you scared me. I thought you were mom. Anyway I'm not worried. As they said, if a ghost somehow transforms into a human then the claw will let go. So If I do get in trouble I can transform back into a human and then it will let go." Mumbled Danny.
"Well I'm just saying, be careful." Warned jazz, walking out of the room and shutting the door behind her.
Finally some privacy. Sam and Danny sat on the edge of his bed and started to talk. Suddenly Danny grabbed hold of Sam and kissed her. He couldn't control himself. Danny and Sam were together at last. And alone. Suddenly they heard a knock on Danny's bedroom door.
"Hunny! Teas ready. Come down and get it. It is vegetarian lasagne just for you Sam." Shouted Maddie.
"Coming mom." Danny called back in reply.
Danny gave Sam just one more quick kiss on the lips and they rushed downstairs. They were absolutely starving.
It was a quiet meal, people only talking to ask others to pass the sauce or whatever it was that they wanted. It was after the meal they started to talk. Danny had to go say goodbye to Sam as her driver picked her up to take her home. Danny gave her a long hug and had to let go of her. It was sad to see her go but Danny knew that would meet again in a week. Because for one whole week Danny was going to New York with tucker and his parents.
Danny raced upstairs to finish packing his bags. Of course, for his clothes, he packed his usual clothes and one suit with a tie in case they were going to dinner at a very popular restaurant and they wanted to look good and fit in. Danny packed a pencil and paper since Sam and he agreed to write to each other because it would cost too much for them to ring each other. But Sam was rich so it didn't matter to her, the problem was that Danny wasn't rich. Neither was tucker. They did have money but they weren't loaded. Sam's great grandfather, Iggy was an inventor. He invented the deli toothpick swirling cellophane machine.
Just as Danny was finished packing the phone started to ring.
He heard jazz call out "I'll get it! It is probably for me!"
Danny just ignored it and got out his money box. It was in the shape of a green ghost, even though Danny wasn't very fond of ghost shaped things. The reason it was in the shape of a green ghost was because Danny's father had bought it for him, as a Christmas present and Jack loved ghosts. He even made action figures of him and ghosts.
"DANNY!" jazz called up to him from downstairs. "PHONE, IT IS TUCKER."
"COMING!" Danny called out to her, rushing out of his room.
"Hello? Tucker, what's up?" Danny spoke quietly into the phone.
"Oh, nothing much. I was just wondering. What time shall we pick you up tomorrow?" answered tucker.
"Uh… let me see. How about ten?" replied Danny, thinking about Sam yet again.
"Sure, well I have to go now. It is going to be a long trip. Too bad Sam can't come." Puffed tucker, as if he had been running from something.
"Yeah I know. Ah well. At least we know her address. It would only take a day for a letter from New York to get to Amity Park. Well bye." Danny shouted into the receiver.
Danny hung up the phone and went to lie down on his bed with a picture of Sam in front of him. He just couldn't get her out of his mind. He was pretty sad that she couldn't come too. Tucker wasn't allowed to invite any girls so he invited Danny. Plus he only was allowed to invite one friend. He would obviously choose Danny over Sam, since they had been best friends for like, ever.
It was nine thirty at night and Danny was just about to get ready for bed. When suddenly, it became cold, again and he could see his breath just like he can whenever a ghost is near. Danny really wanted a break from ghost hunting because it was tiring. But Danny had to do what Danny had to do.
