Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am just a dedicated fan.
DarkDragonQueen: I started watching Danny Phantom until about four 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 fanfiction 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. Gearhead
With that said here is chapter nine of this story.

Night School Part I

Sam and Aly sighed as they laid on the floor of the Phoenix Nest. The past two weeks had come and go. Ever since the Angels of Death coming to warn her, Silver Moon thought that Sam should only go out as The Black Phoenix when it was called for and that she shouldn't go out trying to find Danny Phantom. Sam though was quick to snap at her though and say it was their idea for her to go out and search for the ghost boy in the first place.
She sighed again and her now mid- back length hair covered her face. It was hard to explain why it had suddenly had begun to grow, but Silver Moon thought it had something to do with the fact the her phoenix side was trying to get out because she wasn't using it as often. Thus she concluded her hair growing out was as close to transforming as she would get if she wasn't going to do it herself.
She would have cut it, but there was one problem with that... Her hair had the strength of steel even when she wasn't The Black Phoenix. They had tried everything, from using a knife, then an ax to a chainsaw (She wasn't lying either. They had laid her down in the Phoenix Nest and spread out her hair trying to cut it and even that wouldn't work.). They had even tried to burn it and even that didn't work. The only thing that had done was manage to give Silver Moon a big burn on her hand. So they had now given up on trying to cut it.
It look weird on her now though because now her clothes didn't seem to look right with her long hair. Aly had even made her take out the weird ponytail she always wore and wear it down and at school... let's just say that it didn't go unnoticed that she had hair all the way down to her back when two weeks ago it was right above her shoulder, so they had just told everyone that it was genetics.
She looked at her reflection in the silver desk with draws the Silver Moon was working on and frowned in dissatisfaction with her appearance. Her natural blond hair was showing at the roots and she had no dye to re- do it with at the moment. It wasn't true that she didn't care anything about her looks. She did care, but she didn't care what other people thought about it. If they didn't like the way she dressed, it was their problem, but the problem was at the moment she hated the way she looked.
"I need a new goth look to go with my hair," she muttered to herself and then slapped a hand over her mouth immediately regretting it when Aly gasped having heard her.
"Yes," she squealed in delight "I've been trying to get you to change you look since forever and now that your hair has grown you admit that you don't look right. Like I always say, you may look nice in the outfit, but you look wrong if your hair doesn't go with it."
"No Aly," Sam protested
"Yes Sam, and we could call Danny and Tucker." Aly suggested
"Do you really think the boys want to go shopping?" Sam asked sarcastically
Aly frowned. "You've got a point. Okay we'll surprise them and everyone else in school with you new look at school tomorrow." she clapped her hands in excitement
"Why would the school care about what a goth freak like me looks like?" Sam asked rolling her eyes
"If you noticed Paulina doesn't rule the school anymore, it's me and I'm going to make sure all eyes are on you tomorrow. Besides, you're no freak. If the school just got to know you a bit and I mean really got to know you, they would see how cool and I mean really see how cool you are." Aly said with a smile and Sam caught the emphasises she put on her words meaning if people knew she was The Black Phoenix.
"I don't care about that," Sam said firmly
"Whatever, it doesn't matter. You said you need a new goth look and we're going to go find you one." Aly declared. "Where's your allowance?"
Sam looked at Aly blankly.
"What? You didn't expect me to use mine. I'm just going to help you shop." Aly replied
"Come on then," Sam sighed taking money out her pocket. "Let's just get this over with."
-.oOOo.-
Sam walked through the hallways of Casper High trying to make her way to her locker. She moved a few of the loose strands that hung in her face and sighed. As much as she hated the makeover she had to admit Aly did a good job.
Sam wore a dark purple belly-shower tank top and over that was a black flare long sleeved top that also flared at the waist. There was a plain black jean skirt that stop at the knee with a silver button clasp in the shape of a Phoenix and instead of purple stocking there were black fishnet stockings and her black combat boots.
All accessories included silver and black bracelets on both arms and silver rings on her three middle fingers on her right hand that spelled her name. On her left hand there was a black leather glove (Fake leather of course. The only time she wore real leather was when she was The Black Phoenix) and to add to holes (one in each ear) she already had in her ears that had silver earrings in the shape of a phoenix her god- sister tricked her into getting the top of both her ears pierced so they now also had a silver phoenix earring in them. Aly had told her the holes in her ear had closed since Sam never wore earrings and she told the woman to pierce the top of her ear. She also wore her black choker with her black crystal attached to it enabling her to turn into The Black Phoenix.
Her hair was in a low ponytail like when she was The Black Phoenix and was in waves, with a few loose strands dangling in her face. Her makeup was still the same though except for the fact that she had black nail polish on.
Sam shook her head thinking about how Aly said she was going to make her look like The Black Phoenix yet not like her at all and Sam had to admit if she had a mask and put on black jeans instead of a skirt then there would have been a very close resemblance. A smart person would put two and two together and figure it out in two minutes.
Sam stopped at her locker and saw Danny at his locker across from her. Sam walked over to him after grabbing her books for her first class.
"Hey Danny," she said leaning against the locker
"Hey Sam," he said recognizing her voice before he looked at her and his jaw dropped. "I think," he added
She laughed. "I don't look that different you doofus. It's me."
Danny shook himself out of his stare and his cheeks turned red. Sam kicked up an eyebrow.
"What?" she asked
"Nothing," Danny shook his head again. "You just look familiar that's all."
"Well no duh, you see me everyday." Sam stated dryly
"No I mean you remind me of someone else I know, but I can't put a name on it." Danny muttered with a shrug. "Oh well,"
"Hey guys," Tucker said approaching them and then stopped "Where's Aly?"
"Aly," Sam said finally realizing that Aly wasn't with her. Her eyes widened. "Oh no, Aly."
Sam took off down the hallway in a walk so fast she as nearly running. If her instinct was right, Aly had found trouble. Danny and Tucker walked behind her. She turned the corner and saw everyone in the hallway had stopped and was staring at something. She sighed.
Aly was into it with Paulina, Dash and the rest of the people on the A- list. It had to be a group of about twelve she was standing up against. Even though the girl was at least 5' 6" Dash still towered over her. Even worse was if they got into a fight there was no way possible Aly could hold on her own against them. On her own that is... but hopefully it wouldn't come to that.
"How dare you even imply something like?" Paulina asked in disbelief
"The same way I dare to say you're a shallow dumb girl who wouldn't know when someone dissed her if it knocked her upside the head." Aly shot back
"Listen, Manson," Dash started
"I'm Sam's god-sister not cousin. My last name's McLain..."
"Whatever, but at your old school you may have ruled but this school works much differently. We tried to give you a spot and if you apologize it's still open, but you've got trouble coming at you if you don't." he yelled trying to intimidate Aly
Aly rolled her eyes not even phased by it. "You fly is open." she said casually and Dash immediately looked down to fix it. She sighed. "Just as I thought. You're as dumb as every other untalented, going nowhere, ooze for brains jock."
At that point not only did the A-list gasp, so did the bystanders watching as they broke into whispers. Sam went up to Aly and tugged on her arm.
"Let's get to class and finish that homework you didn't finish last night." she lied whit a nervous laugh. "We still have ten minutes."
"That's it McLain. I'm going to pound you flatter than a pancake," Dash declared punching the palm of his hand as he got ready to pound on her, girl or not.
Dash fist suddenly flew at Aly's face who stood there not even blinking her eyes. Then just as Dash's fist was about to make contact a hand caught the fist. There were more surprised gasp as all eyes were now on Sam who had caught the fist with no problem.
"Back off of my god- sister Baxter," she growled and Aly grinned when Black Phoenix's personality took over
"Or what?" Dash asked
"You don't want to find out." Sam glared
"Move it Manson so I can pound your god- sister." Dash said not seeing the flash of anger in her eyes
Dash grabbed Aly and Aly kneed him in the stomach in retaliation. It was then that the rest of the jocks went after the two girls and all hell broke loose with fist flying from this way and that.
"This isn't good," Tucker said. "You have to help them Danny."
"I know." he sighed
Danny joined in without hesitation after realizing that this might turn ugly for the two girls in the middle of it and Tucker sat off to the side making sure to tape it with his PDA. Paulina and the other girls on the A- list stood off to the side not wanting anything to do with it for fear of breaking a nail or ruining their make- up or hair.
"Little House on the Prairie! What in blazes is going on here?" came the voice of Mr. Lancer
Aly got off of Dash who's whole face was swollen and Sam and Danny stood in the middle of about six of the jocks she and he had knocked out. The two actually made a pretty good team, Sam realized, and she couldn't fight with anyone really... except maybe when she was the Black Phoenix and she helped out Danny Phantom those couple of times a few weeks ago.
She was snapped out her thoughts by Paulina's voice.
"They came and attacked us." she said and Aly immediately protested
"You shallow little she- devil from hell." she snapped. "You came up and confronted me then your boyfriend tried to punch me."
"Tried?" asked Mr. Lancer
"Well Sam blocked it, but then Dash grabbed Aly and Aly kneed him in the stomach and the jocks started to go help Dash so Aly and Sam wouldn't kick the shit out of him. Then Danny jumped in and teamed up with Sam and all but tried to kill them. Man it was good especially when Aly knocked two guys out and beat Dash's face to a pulp and when Sam grabbed one jock and banged him against the lockers while Danny knocked him out. Man for a girl she sure is strong and-"
"TUCKER!" Sam, Danny and Aly warned with a glare but it was too late. He already done the damage leaving out the part where Dash threw Aly into a door and the part where a jock grabbed Sam's hair and threw her down to the floor (although no damage was done) and also leaving out the part where one guy almost broke Danny's ribs with a kick in the chest.
"It wasn't like that," Aly argued
"Yeah, we did do those things, but only in retaliation to what they did. If they had just backed off we would have gone on about our own business." Sam protested
"From what Mr. Foley has said though it sounded like you all made the first assault." Mr. Lancer said and Aly's jaw dropped
"That's bull-crap," Sam and Aly denied
"Mr. Fenton, Ms. Manson, and Ms. McLain I would like to see you three in my office. I will also be calling your parents. Now everyone else to their class and will someone help them to the nurses office?" Lancer said nodding his head in the direction of the four knocked out jocks and the other badly injured.
Sam, Aly, and Danny all followed Mr. Lancer to his office where they were then told to sit outside the office while he called their parents.
"Man," Aly whined. "This sucks."
"I know." Danny grumbled. "I am in so much trouble when my parents find out."
"Well one good thing has come out of this," Sam said with a smirk that Danny swore he had seen before somewhere else
"What?" Danny asked with a small smile
"The whole school is going to be scared of us now and that's including the A- list. We won't be bothered for a while." she replied grinning at the two who were waiting for their fate, like her, from the vice principal of the school.
That made the two grin like maniacs.
"I told you I was going to rule this school." Aly said triumphantly
-.oOOo.-
"One and a halfmonths," Aly yelled when the three were outside walking from school. "That's not fair. We were just defending ourselves and Danny was trying to get us out the fight but got dragged in."
Sam, Danny, and Aly stood outside of school about to leave. When their parents arrived at school Mr. Lancer told the edited story of the fight and the parents were mad at them for a moment and all three knew that being ground was inevitable, especially when they were suspended from school for two whole months, but then Danny's sister came to the rescue.
Jazz put in all the missing details for them and the anger lifted from the two sets of parents after hearing the real story. For once Danny was glad that Jazz had but in, but that didn't mean they weren't suspended and they did get a lecture but it was nothing Aly hadn't heard. She was always getting one lecture or another and could tell you exactly which one you were going to get when needed.
"I know." Sam moaned. "And those jerks only go a weeks detention."
"That sucks." Danny muttered
"And it's going to be on my permanent record forever." Aly moaned
"You mean nothing has gone on it with your wild streak back home?" Danny asked
"Who told you about that?" Aly asked and then looked at Sam who nodded. "Oh well yeah, but most of it is temporary."
"Okay so somehow all of us got out of being grounded, so what do we do for the nextone and a halfmonths with no school." Danny asked
"We treat it like summer vacation... except it'll be more like another winter vacation along with a bit of spring." Aly suggested as they began to walk away from school and then Danny stopped and he began look around.
Aly smirked and raised an eyebrow. "Leave something in school?" she asked
"Uh... yeah. I'll be right back." he said and ran back into the school
"Does he always have to run off like that?" Sam asked frowning. "He does that at least once every day."
"Hm..." Aly pondered. "I'm sure he has a good reason for it."
"Yeah I guess... Wait a minute. You're usually more into things like this. Why is it you're suddenly not nagging him about the weird things he does sometimes?" Sam asked
Aly shrugged and then Sam gasped. "You know why he's running off like that don't you?
Aly just smiled. "Maybe, maybe not."
"What is it?" Sam asked
"We all have our secrets Sam." Aly replied. "Trust me you'll eventually find out. There's no way you can't find out about him and vise verse..."
"What are you talking about?"
"Trust me you'll-" Aly was cut off when the temperature dropped drastically
"Well, well, well what do we have hear. Two girls skipping school."
Aly and Sam froze and slowly turned around. There was a tall thin female ghost with her blue hair wrapped up in a tight bun with glasses down on her nose. She wore a gray business skirt and jacket with a white blouse with Gray high heal shoes. She had a ruler in her had and was looking down at the two.
"No we aren't skipping." Aly replied
"Then why aren't you in school?" she demanded with all the force of a strict teacher
"We were suspended." Sam replied hesitantly hoping it would get the ghost off their back
How wrong she was because the ghost eyes flared and she glowered at them. Sam and Aly took a step back.
"So I guess you're those children who like to cause trouble and give teachers hell." she roared
"No, you've got it wrong." Aly said and then frowned. "Who are you anyway?"
"I am Principal Palprin Palprin and I don't like trouble making students. You've just been sentenced to detention." she said and the ruler got bigger and longer
Sam and Aly screamed and then a white and black blur shot past them and into Principal Palprin. The blur took Principal Palprin around the corner and unable to resist the urge of curiosity Sam and Aly followed. Sam gasped.
"Danny Phantom," she said
"This is the first time you've seen him as Sam, isn't it." Aly asked and Sam nodded
Principal Palprin used her ruler to try to hit Danny on the head but Danny moved away.
Danny sighed. "You know something, it's teachers like you that make school a living hell."
"For that smart remark Mr. Phantom, you get a detention." Principal Palrin screeched and a glowing green shackles appeared in her haind.
She threw them at Danny and they began to open and close like jaws. They charged at him.
"Oh crud," he muttered and then turned and flew away from the shackles.
Sam and Aly watched the battle from afar and winced every time Danny took a bad hit. Then Sam frowned.
"Hey, there's the hero Danny, but where's our Danny?" she asked
Aly shrugged although Sam had a feeling the girl knew more than she was letting on. She had no time to ponder this however because the bell signaling the end of class rang. Principal Palprin stopped as she noticed students coming out of the school.
"Lunch time..." she said. "I can't get on them for goofing off now. I'll come back later." Principal Palprin disappeared and Danny Phantom went invisible and flew away
Sam and Aly ran back to the front of the school just as Danny came out.
"Hey where were you?" Sam asked
Danny tensed up and frantically racked his brain for a good excuse. "Um... I had to clean up my locker because everything fell out."
Sam gave him a pointed look.
"What?" he asked defensively
"There's something you're not telling us." she stated bluntly
Danny winced.
"I'm not going to pry you though. We all have our secrets. I'll eventually find out though." Sam admitted
Danny looked at her wierdly for a moment as a feeling of deja' vu came over him.
'Now where have I heard that before?' he thought to himself
"What?" Sam asked noticing how he was staring at her
"Huh," Danny asked snapping out of his thoughts. "Oh nothing."
"Well, I guess we'll head home for now Danny." Sam said dismissing his absent staring. "See you later,"
-.oOOo.-
Later that night the Aly, Sam, and Silver Moon sat in the Phoenix Nest as always while doing homework or at least trying to anyway...
"Come on Aly please. What did you find out about Danny?" Sam asked knowing the girl knew something she didn't
"It's nothing Sam. I told you you're bound to find out soon. Don't worry about it, besides it's not like you can say anything. You're hiding something too so you know how it is to have a secret you want no one to know about ao lay off his case." Aly snapped
"Well at least tell me if whatever he's doing is dangerous or not."
"It's dangerous," Aly said and then added. "Very dangerous, but not in the way you think. He knows what to do to protect himself. He's fine. He'll most likely be here when you're older and decide to get married, relax."
Sam blushed, but then sighed with a frown. "I probably won't ever get married."
"Why not?" Silver Moon asked joining in the conversation.
"I've got two sides. There's Sam Manson and then the Black Phoenix. Their the same person yet different and I could never stop being the Black Phoenix even if I tried.?" Sam asked with a sigh
Aly sighed. "That's why Danny's perfect for you. It was meant for you two to meet. You're soulmates." she said without thinking and then slapped a hand over her mouth
"What?" Sam asked tilting her head in confusion
"Nothing." Aly said quickly and turned to Silver Moon. "Hey what are you working on now?"
"I'm loading all the different data from DNA's we've collected so far. You know, names if people we got pictures," Sliver moon explained
"So in other words you're creating a profile with the DNA of people I've fought?" Sam asked
"Yeah... where's your DNA extracter and Analyzer?" Silver Moon asked Sam "I want to download all the important profiles onto it."
Sam gasped. "Oh no... I left it at school."
"Well you can't leave it there for two months." Aly stated
"Yeah.. I know." Sam said and then got up and went to the secret passage on the other side of the room. "Come on Aly, we'll have to go get it."
"Ooo, I've always wondered what it was like to go to school at night."
The two took the passage to the park and from that point went on to Casper High not stopping until they got to the front doors of the school.
"This place is lame." Aly stated. "They don't even put cameras on the front of the school."
"Come on let's just go." Sam said after picking the lock with a few strands of her hair that stiffened
They walked down the school halls to where Sam's locker was. Sam opened her locker and got the extrater and analyzer out.
"Okay let's-" Sam stopped when she felt the temperature in the room drop dramatically.
"Oh crap..." Aly said as they turned around and saw Principle Palprin
"So two little brats want to come destroy the whole school?" she asked
"No, it wasn't like that. We left something here and had to come and get it." Aly explained
"A likely story," Principle Palprin laughed. "I know brats just like you who thought they could fool me with their dumb excuses. Well guess what? I'm not as dumb as you think, so for pulling that stunt you get," shackles like the ones they had seen earlier that day when she fought Danny Phantom appeard. "DETENTION."
Sam jumped in front of Aly ready to fight off the ghost, but then an ecto- blast shot the shackles out the air.
"You know I feel sorry for all the students that had you for a teacher." said Danny Phantom floating off to the side of them.
-.oOOo.-
So Sam, Aly, and Danny all got suspended from school and Aly thinks she know's who Danny is. Well that's it for now and here's you sneak peek of the next chapter:
"Honestly," Aly shouted, "Could you go any faster?"
"Yeah sure, hold on." Danny said and sped up
Sam and Aly screamed.
"Aly why did you have to open your darn mouth?" Sam asked trying to glare at the girl but not able to stop her heart from pounding
Aly opened her mouth to say something when Danny turned around and stopped.
"That's weird." he mutterd, "They aren't following us anymore."
Danny put the two girls down and Aly began to try to put her hair back in place.
"Where did they go?" Danny asked himself and Sam's crystal began to nag her again. It was more of a warning that there was something threatening her, not that someone was about to die or anything.
Sam frowned and turned around. "Phantom," she cried in alarm...
So there it is. I'll put the next chapter up soon. R&R.
