Chapter Thirteen: Guess who Danny Phantom is?
March 23, 2008, Saturday
It was the day of the big pre-game dance. Tonight the students of Casper High would celebrate and get ready for the big game tomorrow. But right now it was afternoon and our heroes were dealing with one of those little annoyances in life.
"I am the Box Ghost!" yelled the Box Ghost.
"Argh! What are you doing here? We have a dance to get ready for." said Danny.
"I have come looking for boxes that I may bring under my control!" said the Box Ghost.
"What do you need them for?" said Sam.
"I need them so that my beloved Lunch Lady can move here things. She has many items that must be put into boxes to move." said the Box Ghost.
"If we give you some boxes will you go away?" said Danny.
"Yes, I will leave your human world in exchange for these boxes." said the Box Ghost.
"I have some boxes left over from when I moved here, he can have them." said Alicia.
So they gave the boxes to the Box Ghost, who thanked them and quickly left. This meant our heroes now had some free time on their hands.
"So what do you guys want to do?" said Valerie.
"How about we go to the fair their holding, there's supposed to be some good food." said Tucker.
"Just don't go on the tilt-a-whirl, remember what happened last time?" said Sam.
"Hey, I said I was sorry." said Tucker.
"Tell that to the shirt you ruined, it was my favorite too." said Sam.
"Well projectile vomit aside, the fair sounds like a good idea." said Alicia.
So our heroes decided to go to the fair, just about everybody in town was there. There were signs and banners for the local team, the Ravens, everywhere. Our heroes had a good time, they rode the rides and played some games.
"Hey Alicia, how about I try to win you one of those stuffed bears?" said Alex.
"That would be great." said Alicia.
As they were walking towards the game the operator was thinking to himself.
"He he, here come another bunch of suckers, they'll spend their money trying to knock down the bottles. But little do they know that I glued them down." thought the operator.
"Step right up and win a prize! Hey kid, want to win a prize for your sweet heart there?" said the game operator.
"You bet I do." said Alex as he paid the man.
"Ok sonny, knock down the bottles and win a prize." said the game operator.
Alex thought there was something fishy with this guy and used his magic to look at the bottles. He could see that they had been glued together and would not fall.
"Well it seems this guy is trying to trick me, well lets see if those bottles can stand up to my magic fast ball." thought Alex.
Alex began to get ready for the pitch, but as he did he supercharged the ball with magical energy. The ball flew out of his hand like a cannon and smashed into the bottles, breaking they apart and making them fall.
"What…what happened?" said the game operator.
"It looks like I won, and you owe me a prize." said Alex.
"Ur, here you go." said the game operator.
"Here you go Alicia, a big teddy bear for my special gal." said Alex.
"Thank you." said Alicia as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
So Alex and Alicia left the confused man to wonder what had gone wrong with his scam.
They then passed a stall that was oddly enough selling Danny Phantom items. It seems that people had started to capitalize on Danny Phantom's popularity.
"Would you look at that, their selling plushies of Danny." said Alicia.
"Yeah, and action figures too." said Alex.
"I think I'll buy one for Sam, I think she'll get a real kick out of that." said Alicia.
They went to rejoin the rest of our heroes and left the games area. Little did they know that trouble was just about on their doorstep. It seemed that Desiree had come back to the human world in disguise. She had been draw by the joy that the fair had produced. She had always loved fairs, ever since she was a little child. (AN: You can almost see the disaster about to happen.)
"It feels good to get away from the madness that is the Ghost Zone." said Desiree.
Unfortunately for Danny and the others Desiree was about to hear a wish that would cause a lot of problems. You see Paullina was standing right next to her, talking about a certain halfa she had a crush on.
"Oh look, their selling plushies of Phantom, I want one!" said Paullina.
"I don't get what you see in that guy. So he saves the town on a daily basis, big whoop." said Dash.
"You don't know him like I do, one day he'll come to sweep me off my feet and we'll live happily ever after." said Paullina.
"Do you know anything about him?" said Dash.
"Uh no." said Paullina.
"Well how do you know he even likes you?" said Dash as he walked away.
"Oh I wish I could get to know more about Danny Phantom, right now!" said Paullina.
Desiree heard this wish, but was very reluctant to grant it.
"If I grant that wish the ghost child and his friends will beat the day lights out of me, but I can't resist….So you have wished it, so shall it be." said Desiree.
The wish, following the fact that all wishes Desiree grants turn out bad, quickly began to work.
"I better get out of here before they find me." said Desiree.
Alicia and Alex had rejoined our heroes near the stage for the big pre-game pep rally.
"Hey Sam, I got you a present." said Alicia as she handed the Danny plushie to Sam.
"Where did you find this?" said Sam.
"Some guy was selling a bunch of Danny Phantom themed merchandise at one of the stalls." said Alicia.
"Great, they take my face and put it on a doll, and I didn't even get one penny." said Danny.
"I think its cute, its like I have a little you to carry around with me." said Sam.
"I hope he isn't my replacement." said Danny.
"A doll could never replace the real thing." said Sam, kissing him on the cheek.
Suddenly the cameras that were for the big speech by principal Ishihama turned to face Danny and turned on. Then suddenly Danny got a strange feeling in his gut, and the familiar rings ghost mode started to appear.
"Uh guys, we have a problem." said Danny, pointing to the rings trying to spread out from his waist.
"That's not our only problem." said Tucker, pointing to the big screen that showed Danny on it.
The whole fair was watching the spectacle of Danny and the strange rings that were around his waist. Danny tried to resist changing into his ghost mode but Desiree's magic was too strong. Finally he could not hold them back anymore and the rings changed him into Danny Phantom. The crowd gasped at this and the people near Danny turned to look at him. Danny felt like he was some kind of animal in a cage and was becoming very uncomfortable.
"Uh guys, I think we should get out of here now." said Danny.
"Right, that might be a good idea." said Sam.
So Danny began to fly away, considering his secret is out he did not have to worry about anyone seeing him. The rest of our heroes pushed and shoved their way through the crowd and followed him. They ran back to the Fenton's house and burst through the door.
"Mom! Dad! We have a big problem here!" shouted Danny.
"We know Danny, we just saw it on the news." said Maddie.
It was true, the local news already had a tape of Danny's transformation and was playing it over and over. Then news anchorwomen Tiffany Snow came on the screen.
"And there you have it, local hero and ghost Danny Phantom is in fact local boy Danny Fenton. We will have more on this story as it develops." said Tiffany.
"Danny! How could you transform in the middle of a crowd like that?" said Maddie, very upset.
"I didn't mean to! For some reason my ghost powers activated themselves and I couldn't stop it." said Danny.
"This is bad, very bad. If people know of your powers it may be a only a matter of time before they find out about Danni's" said Maddie.
"Yeah, and only a little while before they find out who we really are." said Valerie.
"What are we going to do? What if the government comes and tries to take you and Danni away." said Maddie.
"I don't want to be taken away!" said Danni.
"Don't worry pumpkin, no one will take you away as long as I'm alive." said Jack.
"Uh guys, we have a problem here." said Tucker.
It seems the news crews had not been slow in their response to Danny's exposure. They had already gotten to his house and they were parked in the street, even some national news trucks were there.
"Wow, they certainly move fast." said Alex.
"Oh man, its over. So long relatively normal life, hello being dissected on a operating table." said Danny.
"It's not over yet, we just have to come up with a plan to make everyone forget about this." said Sam.
They sat and thought about it for a little while, and then Alicia got an idea.
"I've got it! Remember when I used my amulet to hypnotize Paullina at the mall when she found us out?" said Alicia.
"How could we forget? Everyone laughed at her for a week because of the clown outfit we put her in." said Sam.
"Well what if I used it again and hypnotize the people so that they forget Danny is Danny Phantom." said Alicia.
"That's a great idea! It'll fix everything." said Danny.
"One problem, how do we get everyone to look at it?" said Valerie.
"That's easy, we set up a press conference at the fair, everyone in town is already their and the news media is sure to follow." said Alicia.
"Ok, I'll go tell them about the press conference, you six get to the fair, and don't get into any trouble." said Maddie.
So as Maddie went to direct the news vans back to the fair, our heroes quietly snuck out of the house. They were walking down the streets making sure to avoid anyone. But then something happened, as they were turning the corner they ran into a large group of people. It seemed that all the fans of Danny in the town had gotten together and were looking for him. They all had signs saying how they loved and adored him, it also seems they had cleared out the stall at the fair that had been selling Danny Phantom stuff.
"I'm rich! Rich!" said the man who operated the stall as he counted his money.
Meanwhile back with our heroes the crowd had just noticed that Danny was in front of them.
"Look! Its Danny!" said Paullina, the leader of the group.
The fan girls let out a massive squeal of joy and start to run towards Danny.
"Ahhh!" screamed Danny as he ran from the onrushing fan girls.
"Danny! Head for the fair, we'll meet you there!" said Alicia.
So as Danny ran in terror with the screaming horde behind him the rest of our heroes ran to the fair. It seems that Maddie, Jack, and Danni were already there, along with Alicia's family.
"Alicia, what are you planning on doing?" said Sarah.
"I'm going to hypnotize everyone so that they forget that Danny is Danny Phantom." said Alicia.
"That will require a lot of magic, do you need my help?" said Sarah.
"No, Sam and Alex will be helping me. Now remember everyone, cover your eyes when I start the spell or you'll be hypnotized and forget about Danny's powers." said Alicia.
"But what about Jazz, she doesn't know what's going to happen." said Jack.
"And what about cousin Shelia." whispered Danny to Alicia.
"Don't worry, I'm going to send her a message to warn her not to look." said Alicia, who cast a spell to do just that.
Suddenly at Harvard in Massachusetts a note appeared in the hand of Jazz Fenton, who was watching the coverage of Danny's exsposure.
"Hmm, I wonder what this is?" said Jazz as she opened the note.
Dear Jazz.
What ever you do, don't watch the press conference about Danny. I'm going to do something to make everyone forget. So turn off the TV if you are watching it. This mess will be fixed soon.
Your Friend
Alicia
As Jazz was hurrying to turn off the TV another note landed in the hands of Sheila Fenton, who was avoiding her parents because of them freaking out about Danny's secret.
"What the heck is this?" said Shelia as she opened the note.
Dear Shelia.
I'm going to do something to fix the whole Danny being exposed mess. Do not watch the TV news conference that will be one soon, I will be making everyone forget about Danny's powers. I suggest hiding in case your parents try to make you watch.
From Danny's friend
Alicia.
"Sheila! Come downstairs, there is a important news bulletin about cousin Danny." said George.
"I better hide." said Shelia as she turned intangible and left. A little bit later George came up to find her.
"Where is she, it's almost like she disappeared." said George as he went back to watch the TV.
"Ok guys, I need you two to put all your energy into me, this is going to be one heck of a spell." said Alicia.
"Ok Alicia, I just hope this works." said Sam.
"Me too." said Alicia as she walked on stage.
"Attention everyone, the press conference will be starting shortly. But there is one very important thing I must tell you. It is very, very important that you listen to what I am about to say." said Alicia.
Soon everyone was looking right at Alicia, and all the television cameras were turned onto her.
"I hope this works." thought Alicia.
"Look at my swinging jewel." said Alicia as she swung it back and forth.
"What does a jewel have to do with Danny…" said a newsman, before he fell into a trance.
Soon all the people in the area were in a trance, and so was everyone watching at home.
"Ok guys get ready, I'm going to cast the spell." said Alicia.
"We're ready, lets do this." said Alex.
"Ok, here goes." said Alicia.
Alicia began to cast the memeory erasing spell, and Alex and Sam focused all their power into Alicia. The spell went to all the people in the trance and through the TV cameras to the people watching at home. The spell wiped all memory of who Danny Phantom was from the minds of the people watching. Soon everyone on Earth who knew of Danny Phantom's real identity forgot it.
"Its done." said Alicia as she fell backwards and was caught by Alex.
"You did it." said Alex.
"Yeah, I did didn't I?" said Alicia.
"Uh guys, we need to break the trance now." said Sam.
"Ok." said Alicia as she snapped her fingers.
Instantly the people in the crowd and the people at home snapped out of the trance.
"Hey, what are we all doing here?" said Paullina, holding a now blank sign. (Thanks to Sarah who had noticed it.)
"I don't know?" said Dash.
"Hey, there's no news story here, lets go." said one of the newsman.
So all the news vans left the fair, the crews still very confused. Principal Ishahma, noticing the crowd, took this to mean the pep rally had begun.
"Welcome good people of Amity Park. Today we gather here to cheer on our beloved Casper High Ravens as they try to get into the state finals, lets here it for them!" said Principal Ishahma.
The crowd, not knowing what else to do, began to cheer. Our heroes meanwhile had taken the opportunity to get away.
"Well that crisis is over." said Danny.
"Yes, Danny's idenity is safe and know one remembers a thing." said Sam.
"But guys, what if there is a tape of him transforming, I mean the news had one. What if they find it?" said Valerie.
"Don't worry, I cast a spell that destroyed all the tapes of Danny's transformation, we have nothing to worry about." said Sarah.
"Mom you rock!" said Alicia.
"I know, now you kids have to get ready, the dance is in an hour." said Sarah.
So our heroes ran back to the house to get ready. Danny, Tucker and Alex made it to the dance in time, but Sam, Alicia and Valerie were running late.
"I wonder where they could be?" said Danny.
"Ok guys, we're here." said Sam.
Danny and the others turned around and were struck speechless. Sam, Alicia, and Valerie looked beautiful in their dresses. Sam's looked like she had just stepped out of a gothic fairytale, she even had a pair of black fairy wings on her back. Alicia's was a hot, red strapless dress, with a red belt. Valerie's was a simple black dress, but she looked gorgeous in. Danny, Alex, and Tucker though they were the most beautiful dresses in the world, although that might have been because of the girls wearing them.
"You like them?" said Sam.
All Danny, Tucker and Alex could do was nod their heads as they tried to get themselves together.
"Good, lets go." said Sam.
Our heroes walked to the door, as they got closer they could hear Paullina complaining about something. When the opened the door they could see why. Instead of a pretty princess theme the school gym had a magic forest/gothic theme to it. As Paullina fumed about the decorations Sam and Alicia chuckled.
"Sam, Alicia, did you do this?" said Danny.
"Yes, we came by earlier today and decided to do a little creative redecorating." said Sam.
"Yes, I especially love the way the plants came out." said Alicia.
"Well I must say it looks a lot better then what Paullina had picked." said Danny.
"Yeah, that girl has a strange obsession with pink." said Valerie.
"Yeah, but this is much better." said Alex.
"Hey guys, lets get this party started." said Tucker.
So our heroes went to dance and had a great time while Paullina fumed in the background. It was the best night of their lives and they danced for a long time.

Rob: Well that was another good chapter, to bad the next one is the last one.
Ember: Don't worry, you can write another story after this one.
Rob: Thanks, you always know how to make me feel better….wait, my ghosty sense is tingling.
Ember: Should I get the aspirin?
Rob: No, I'm talking about my ghost sense, an evil ghost is about to attack. As soon as Rob said that the wall to the control room blew up. Out of the hole created came Vlad Plasmius.
Rob: Vlad! What are you doing here?
Vlad: I have come to destroy you once and for all.
Ember: I was wondering when he would try to destroy us this story.
Rob: What makes you thing you will win?
Vlad: This! Then Vlad took out the Plasmius Maximus and threw it at Rob, it hit him and shorted out his ghost powers. Then Vlad threw a rope at Rob that tied him up.
Rob: Oh crap.
Vlad: Ha! There is no one to save you now. Vlad then powers up an ectoblast and his about to fire.
Rob: You forgot one person, my crazy girlfriend.
Vlad: Oh crud, I really should have remembered that.
Ember: You should have, now get away from my boyfriend! Ember hits cord on her guitar and the blast sends Vlad flying out the hole in the wall.
Ember: And this is for the wall you wrecked! Ember pulls the hurt Vlad lever. Suddenly Vlad is hit with a dozen baseballs, a bucket of rotten eggs, a phone booth, and finally a big pile of stinky garbage. Then as Vlad tries to get out of the pile the Fluffy Army of Doom attacks him with their piñata sticks of pain.
Vlad: Ahhh! My pancreas!
Rob: Good job Ember, now untie me.
Ember: I don't think so, this gives me the chance to play my favorite game.
Rob: Not tickle Rob's feet!
Ember: Yes.
Rob: No, you know how ticklish I am.
Ember: Yeah, and your so cute when your laughing. Ember begins to tickle Rob's feet.
Rob: Stop…Ha…Please...ha…here's the chapter summery…hahaha!
Well it seems that our heroes have gotten themselves out of another sticky situation, which is more then I can say for our author. They managed to make Danny's identity a secreat again and they got to go to the dance. But what awaits our heroes in the last chapter? The only way to find out is to read the next chapter of 14 Days in the Life of Danny Phantom.
Rob: Ha…so until…ha…next time…ha…Danny Phantom fans…ha…Read and Review! Hahahaha!
