Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am just a dedicated fan.
DarkDragonQueen: I started watching Danny Phantom until about three months ago and I didn't really watch it. It was my sister and one day it was the only thing on and I completely fell in love with the show. I've been reading the fan-fiction for a while and this story kind of came to my mind. I didn't want to write it until I saw a few stories that calmed my nerve. It's an Alternate universe and Sam has never met Danny or Tucker and she's never been to Amity Park until now.
Also no flames, but I do accept constructive criticism. Please bear with me because although I know the basics of grammar, I never did look at the detail. Don't worry my grammar isn't horrible where you can't read it, but it isn't exactly perfect where I could go and become an English teacher.
Yeah and I know it's like cat- woman. I meant for it to be similar but it's very different. In the movie they portrayed her as a hero, but if you go back and look at the old Batman you see she was actually a villain. If you look at the newer ones she's more of a villian but she helps him out as well. It's confusing though. Just wanted to comment on that. Don't worry it's much different, especially with the our main characters being teens. So it's not as predictable as Cat- woman.
With that said here is chapter three of this story.

Sam sighed for the tenth time in the past hour. She sat bored in the car as they headed toward the new city... wait scratch that... town she would be living. Two days ago Sam's parents just out right came and told Sam and Aly that they were moving to a new town. There was no warning or anything for what had come. Mrs. Manson just came in and told Sam and Aly to pack everything in boxes and be done in two days because they were moving.
There was no time for Sam and Aly to argue that they didn't want to go and there was no time to convince her parents that moving to a smaller town would effect their personal development because there was nothing to do to stimulate their growth (It took the two forever to come up with that and when they did they were already loading stuff onto the moving truck). The only good thing that came out of it was that Aly didn't have to take her lessons anymore for there was no way they could find a good teacher in such a small town.
Sam watched the scenery go by in boredom. They were moving to a town that probably didn't have a high murder count and where everyone was probably nice and jolly like it was Christmas all year round (Sam cringed at the thought of everyone being all jolly and happy). With that in mind she knew there would be no need for The Black Phoenix in this town unless she decided to cause some trouble.
She sighed again. This was just wonderful...
"Girls," came Mrs. Manson's voice "We're here."
The two teens looked up at the Mansion Mr. and Mrs. Manson had bought. It was bigger that their other house and one of the rooms had a small balcony. It wasn't big but it was a good size where maybe two people or three people could stand on it.
"Well," said Mrs. Manson "You two aren't going to sit in the car all day and stare at it. Go in and pick a room. Lunar will help you."
Sam got out of the car along with Aly and found Silver Moon helping the movers unload the truck. Her known name was Lunar Moon so she could blend in with society (Although Aly and Sam found it a bit strange that being name after the moon was blending in).
"Hello Aly, Sam," she greeted "How do you like the new house?"
Sam shrugged. "How should we know? We haven't gone in."
Silver Moon handed the box she has holing to one of the movers.
"Well, come on. Your stuff is up next and we need to know where to put it." Silver Moon led them into the house and up to the second floor
"Pick one up here. You won't want to have to walk up two flights of stairs to get to your room. That's a workout in itself." Silver Moon said
"Tsh... Tell that to someone who doesn't chase bloodthirsty sickos for a living." Sam muttered
Silver Moon gave Sam a mock glare as the teen just went up to a random door and claimed it as her room. Aly went to the room across from it and claimed that one. Sam went into her room and saw that she had picked the room with the small balcony. She winced at the color. The walls were already painted pink. She would most definitely have to fix that.
Sam went to the doors that led to the balcony and opened them. It would be nice to stand out here at night. Then something caught her eyes. It looked like a big spaceship on top of a house. There was a sign but from the distance she couldn't make it out.
"Sam," Aly yelled rushing out onto the Balcony. "We... Aw you got the room with the Balcony." Aly said with a pout
"What is it Aly?" Sam asked
Aly's shook her head. "Anyway we need to get some paint quick." she looked back at the walls of Sam's room. "You do too."
"What color is your room?" Sam asked with a smirk already knowing in the back of her head
"Yellow!" Aly exclaimed in disgust as she grabbed Sam's arm and pulled her out the room
"Melissa, me and Sam are going out to get some things for our room. Leave our stuff in the hallway." Aly yelled as they made their way to the front door
"Okay," Mrs. Manson called from the living room "Take Lunar with you."
Silver Moon met them outside and soon they were found wondering Amity park looking for a place to get paint. After an hour of wondering around town they found a decorating store and found some silver paint for Aly and black and purple paint for Sam. They found that when they got back home that the truck had been unloaded and the movers were moving furniture that had been left in the garage to their respective rooms.
"Sam, Aly, is that you?" Mrs. Manson called
Sam and Aly found Mrs. Manson in front of a door with a key in her hand. She gave it to them.
"What's this for?" Aly asked looking at the silver key
"This room." Mrs. Manson answered. "It's all yours. There's a theater and a bowling alley and and a big empty room."
Aly grinned and Sam just shrugged. She could care less really.
Mrs. Manson walked away. Aly opened the door and the two went down the stairs. There was a remote control and as Mrs. Manson had said there was a theater and with the press of a button a bowling alley. Aly went over to another door and saw the big room Mrs. Manson had informed them of. It was huge. I was about as big as an average size living room.
"Sam look at this." she called
Sam walked in and saw the room. "What do we do with this?"
"Don't know but I have a feeling were going to like this room." Aly said walked further into the room while Sam went to the other side and leaned against the wall
"Why? It's just like any other room. It'll probably end up as a junk r- woah." Sam felt the wall behind her fall through like a door and she fell backwards
Aly looked and raised an eyebrow. "Looks like a secret passage."
There was a tunnel and it appeared to be two yards wide. The walls opened like double doors and Aly stepped over Sam who was still on the ground and into the tunnel.
"Where do you think it leads?" Aly asked
Sam shrugged but couldn't hide the small smile that crept to her lips. She couldn't hide the fact that she was curious about where this may have led.
"Come on let's find out." Aly said walking into the tunnel which looked like a cave.
They walked the tunnel. It was long and they hoped Mrs. Manson hadn't noticed they were gone. Finally they came to the end which was blocked by a big bush. The two pushed past the vines and leaves until the came across an opening to the light. They turned around and saw a big rock covered with vines and bushes of all sort.
"We're... In the park?" Aly stated more so then asked in confusion
Sam noticed that also. "Wow.. that tunnel must be long. The park a pretty good walk from our house."
"Just think." Aly said with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "If we get grounded we can go out through that passage and Melissa would never know."
"That's just like you Aly." Sam responded "We better be getting back before mom notices we're gone."
Aly nodded and they went back through the tunnel. They got back and closed the passage back deciding to go up to their rooms and paint so they would have to suffer through the pink and yellow rooms for the night and have to wake up to see it in the morning.
-.oOOo.-
A week later when they had settled in and were done putting things in their basic places Sam and Aly got ready for their first day of in their new school.
"So, what's the name of the school again?" Aly asked as she got ready to go with Sam
"Casper high dear," Mrs. Manson replied "Maybe you should take the bus so you don't get lost."
"There is no way I am getting on a school bus ever again." Aly replied quickly
Sam smirked. After a few bad experiences on the school bus in elementary school Aly walked from home to school and back in rain, snow, or shine.
"Don't worry mom," Sam said sighing as her mother tried to convince them otherwise. "We'll be fine."
"And Aly," Mr. Manson called before they left
Aly turned around.
"No causing trouble." he warned
Aly pouted as she went outside and then smiled as she closed the door.
"He said no causing trouble but he said nothing about getting into it if someone happened to drag me in it." she said with a smirk and Sam punched her playfully in the arm
When they arrived at school they went to the office and got their schedules and went to their new lockers which happened to be side by side. Sam looked at her friend's schedule over her shoulder.
"Looks like we have third and fifth period together which is Literature and Gym, but other than that I guess we won't see each other except for in between classes and at lunch." Aly said and then sighed
"I better be going. I hope I get through this without causing any trouble and I hope you can control the Phoenix in you. See you later." Aly said with a sly grin as she headed of to her class
Sam glared at her before going off to her own class. She knew what Aly meant. Sometime the personality of her alter- ego rubbed off on her making her overly sarcastic and very temperamental.
She got to her class and went in just after the bell ran. The teacher noticed her come in and caught the class's attention. Sam hated this part of being new at a school. It made her feel like a little child.
"This is Samantha Manson." the female teacher said to the class and Sam cringed at he full name "She just moved here to Amity Park and I want you all to make her feel welcome. Anything you want to say?"
"Yeah, call me Sam." she said dryly as she went to find a seat
She found the only open seat next to a blue eyed boy with somewhat messy black hair with his head on his desk in what looked like boredom. She cleared her throat to get his attention.
"Mind if I sit here?" she asked and the boy looked up at her
"Oh...no." he said and Sam raised an eyebrow as he went back to daydreaming
Sam sat down and took out her notebook as the teacher began to lecture them.
School went on and Sam soon found herself standing in line for lunch with Aly. Being a vegetarian she got a salad and a bottle of water and went to find a table to wait at for Aly. She knew where she wasn't going to sit and it looked like only one table that she could sit at would be with the boy from her first class and an African- American boy with a red cap and glasses.
She walked over to the table where the two boys were talking and caught the end of the conversation.
"Relax Danny. Just because you had a dream with a hot chick robbing a store and fighting bad guys in it isn't anything to get worked up over. You've seen weirder, not to mention scarier." the African American boy told
"I know, but that's not the part that's weird. She had no kind of outstanding power and she could fight gho-" the boy apparently known as Danny stopped himself when he saw Sam standing there waiting patiently with a curious expression.
"Can we help you?" the African American boy asked
Sam blinked and then looked back at the two boys.
"If you're looking for the rest of the goths, their over there." he continued pointing to another table
"Tucker," Danny whispered nudging him in the arm
"What?"
Sam decided to ignore the rude comment although she had the urge to snap back insult asking why he wasn't sitting with the other techno geeks (how she knew that was a mystery even to herself).
"I was actually going to ask if me and friend could sit here, but if you feel that way I'll just go find another table." Sam said turning on her heel to find another table
"Wait," Sam turned back around and saw the blue eyed boy shaking his head and muttering something under his breath
"Excuse my friendlacks knowledgein the areaof manners and politeness-"
"Hey,"
"You can sit here."
Sam sat down and there was an uncomfortable silence before it was broken.
"I'm Danny Fenton and this is Tucker Foley." he said after a minute or two
"I'm Samantha Manson, but call me Sam."
Sam saw Aly headed their way and smiled knowing that she would immediately lift the mood.
"Hey Sam." she said dropping her plate at the table and sitting next to her friend
"No meat today?" Sam asked
"Are you kidding?" Aly asked in disbelief. "I swear I saw some of that meat move from one pan to the other. There is no way I'm eating anything that can just jump right out and attack me." she then looked at Tucker's plate in disgust at all the meat, that she swore was alive, on his plate "You're gonna eat that."
"Yeah," Tucker said as he stuffed a rather large piece of meat in his mouth
Aly closed her eyes in disgust and Sam looked like she was about to gag.
"All he eats is meat." Danny explained. "He's been doing since he had the teeth to chew it with."
"I eat meat and even I'm disgusted by that." Aly said as she pushed her plate back. "I believe I'm a vegetarian now too."
Sam looked down at her food to keep from looking at the boy across from her the living food.
"Hey Fentoad." Danny turned around just in time to get a spoonful of... something in his face from a blond haired well built boy.
Danny's eyes turned to slits and Tucker put a hand on his shoulder.
"As much as I want you to it's not worth it. You almost got caught last time." he said and Danny turned back to his food
"Who's that?" Aly asked in excitement all of a sudden
"That's just Dash. He's the quarterback of the football team here and I'm his favorite punching bag." Danny said dryly
"Ooo, I think he'll be my first target. All I have to do is accidentally make him mad with me." Aly said with a smirk
"You don't want to mess with Dash." Tucker said as he took out he PDA and started playing around with it
"Actually," Sam put in. "It's more like Dash won't want to mess with her."
"Her?" Danny asked looking at the girl in front of him who he now noticed was bigger than the average girl. Not fat but she well over five feet. He would say about 5' 6", but still there was no way the girl could take on someone like Dash and he was at least twice as big as her.
"The girl knocked out a football coach back at our old school and trust me, he was at least twice as big as Dash." Sam replied like it was nothing.
"Wait a minute," Tucker said looking up from his PDA. "She knocked out a football coach twice as big as Dash."
Sam nodded while Aly beamed proudly.
"Wow," both boys said together
"Remind me not to get on her bad side." Tucker whispered and went back to playing on his PDA.
"So, you mind showing us around later?" Aly asked taking out a sketch pad and a pencil
"Well we kind of had something planned, "Danny started
"Well that's okay." Aly said and Sam shook her head at her friends outgoing personality. One thing Aly was known for was how she got along with anybody as long as they weren't shallow or thought the world revolved around them. Speaking of shallow...
A Hispanic girl with long black hair walked by their table and Danny stopped to star at her. She flashed a small smile that made Danny grin a goofy grin. Aly and Sam looked at each other and sighed.
The girl then stopped when she saw Aly. "What are you doing siting with these losers? You can come sit with us."
"No thanks," Aly said looking back at the table where the Hispanic girl pointed. "I think I'd rather sit here with my god-sister."
"Come on, you deserve to be with people above this." the Hispanic girl said frowning at Tucker, Danny, and Sam
"You're right I do. That's why I'm sitting here." Aly snapped back
Tucker and Danny winced. Sam gave her god-sister a warning look. There was no way she was going to let her cause trouble on their first day. Aly ignored it though.
"Did you just dis' me?" the Hispanic girl asked
Aly stood up and faced the girl.
"You must be Paulina Sanchez. The Queen Bee of Casper high. Let's see." Aly walked around the girl looking her up and down and taking in the way she held herself and everything else about her.
"Aly," Sam whispered and then sighed. It was no use trying. "This isn't good."
"Tell me about it." Tucker said shaking his head. "Paulina's going to have the whole school against Aly after this."
"I'm not worried about Aly," Sam stated. "It's Paulina I'm worried about."
"Why?" Danny asked
"Aly's very observant and can spot the smallest detail. You could put her in a room full of disorganized junk and then put her out, take something as small as a pen and put her back in and she would notice that the pen was gone. She can tell just about everything about a person by looking at them."
"You're a rich snobby spoiled brat who's as deep as the shallow end of the swimming pool." by this time she had the whole cafeteria's attention. "You think you can get your way by flipping you hair, batting those pretty eyelashes and you also think that everyone should bow upon the ground you walk on. You also look down on people because you think you're better than them. Now," Aly said looking at the girl "I'm dissing you."
With that Aly walked past Paulina and out the cafeteria leaing a fuming Paulina.
Sam put a hand over her eyes. Aly was only here one day and she had already left her impression on the school. Sam sighed and got up from the table following her godsister into the hallway and walking next to her.
"You're something else, you know that?"
-.oOOo.-
Not musch happening here. Just letting Sam settle into her new surrounding. Next chapter Sam hears about a certain ghost boy and decides it's time to have a little fun in this 'boring' town of Amity Park. R&R
