Not just an interview.
They flew away to the other side of town and set down near the nasty burger. They saw two 12 year old girls looking at them. One had a camera in her hand and the other a microphone. They looked kind of happy to see them. Well, that's a first.
"Hi, are you Danny Phantom?" asked one of them.
"Uh, yeah. Finally, someone has my name right. Why do you want to know? You don't work for a ghost do you? They want to hunt me down or me to join their side right?" asked Danny.
"No, we were wondering if you are a good ghost silly!" laughed one of them.
"Yeah, he's a good ghost." Kelly said.
"Can we tape you for our show, to straighten things out?" asked the girl with the camera.
"Alright then." Sighed Danny.
"Cool, I'm Fiona and this is Keira." The girl with the microphone held out her hand.
"Hey, uh, I'm Danny Phantom and this is Kelly-Go-Boom. Call her KGB for short though." Danny smiled and shook her hand, making sure not to fire an ecto-blast.
The two girls started cracking up at the ghost girl's name. Soon they were holding their sides, trying not to let them split.
"Hilarious name. Anyway, this is live, we are starting in five, four, three two, one. Hi, I'm Fiona Barefal and I am here today interviewing Danny Phantom and his friend Kelly-Go-Boom." At the sound of Kelly's name she let out a bit of a snort.
Danny and Kelly kind of smiled and looked into the camera.
"Anyway, we were standing outside the Nasty Burger when Danny Phantom and KGB landed on the ground. We decided it would be interesting to interview them. They say they are good and don't mean to cause bad." Fiona continued.
"Yeah, it's the other ghosts that cause bad." Danny explained.
Just at that time Skulker flew up behind him.
"Well, well if it isn't the ghost boy whose pelt I have sworn on my wall. Cool, I always wanted to be on TV. Hey ember baby, I love you!" skulker squealed excitedly.
"Uh, skulker, there's a TV in the ghost zone now? WAIT, YOU AND EMBER! Hilarious! Now get inside, old man." Danny laughed and sucked skulker inside the Thermos before he could say EMBERS HOT!
"So Danny, why do you fight ghosts if you are a ghost?" asked Fiona.
"I'm not a ghost! Oh, right, ghost form. Uh, as I was saying, I'm not a bad ghost, I try to PROTECT people, not harm them." Danny laughed.
"What do you mean by ghost form?" asked Fiona.
Danny wasn't paying attention and neither was Kelly. Their ghost senses had gone off again and they were looking for the ghost.
"Guys? GUYS?" Fiona poked them, thinking she would go through them.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST! BEWARE!" yelled a ghost.
"Uh, why can I touch you?" asked Fiona.
"The box ghost, don't worry Dan, I will take care of this one for you. Where's the Thermos?" asked Kelly.
Danny chucked the Thermos to Kelly and she flew towards the annoying ghost. He then faced the girls who looked a bit annoyed.
"Sorry about that, ghost trouble. Oh, right, you can touch me at any time because I am not invisible or intangible." Danny explained.
"So, what did you mean by ghost form?" asked Fiona.
"I didn't notice I was ghost, I thought I was in my human for…" Danny whacked himself in the head.
"Wait, you're a human?" asked Fiona as Kelly joined them.
"I uh, didn't mean to say that. By the way, thanks Kelly." Danny gave her a peck on the lips.
"Are you guys dating or something?" asked Fiona.
"Uh, yeah. I love him and he loves me." Kelly said.
Just then Danny's phone started ringing. They were talking to Kelly so they didn't have the camera on him.
"Just a sec." he whispered to them and walked off.
He pulled out his phone and it said Fenton Residence. He opened it and listened for a second.
"Hello?" Danny said.
"Hey Danny, where are you?" Jack asked.
"Oh, I'm at a friend's house." Danny replied.
"Sam's? Tuckers?" asked Jack.
"No, Kelly's. I met her today." Danny told his father.
"Well, are you watching the TV?" asked Jack.
"Nope, why?" Danny hoped Jack wasn't watching the kid's news channel.
"Well, there is an interview with Danny Phantom and another ghost. Did you know they had a Fenton Thermos? I should charge him for theft. Right now Danny phantom is sitting on a chair, with a total look of shock on his face. I wonder what he is doing." Jack blabbered.
"Uh, dad? I kinda have to go. I will see you and mom after to tea. Bye!" Danny hung up as fast as he could.
He let out a sigh and walked back to where Kelly was standing.
"Well, we kinda have to go now. Bye!" Danny waved and pulled Kelly in the direction of her house.
"Well, I am Fiona Barefal reporting for Kid's Interview Network. Goodnight." Fiona made a cut motion with her hand and Keira turned off the camera.
Danny and Kelly flew onto the roof of a nearby house.
"What's wrong Danny?" asked Kelly.
"Nothing, except my dad was watching so I had to get out of there. He called to tell me about it, I am meant to be at your house." Danny explained.
"Oh, okay. Lets go get some dinner then." Kelly and Danny continued their flight.
After Dinner:
Danny and Kelly decided to fly around after dinner before it was time for Danny to be heading home. They flew into the park and sat in a tree, cuddling each other to stay warm. It was then that they had a feeling that someone was watching them. They looked down and saw the two kids who interviewed them before, gawking at them.
"Danny Phantom! KGB!" Keira called out to them.
"What cha doing?" asked Fiona.
The two looked at each other and then decided to float down. They stood in front of the two girls, looking to see if there was a microphone or a camera. No, there wasn't a camera, not this time.
"Waiting til curfew, its then that the ghosts come out and bug me." Danny replied.
"You have a curfew?" Fiona asked.
"I am terrible at this, twice in the same day, to the same people." Danny muttered to himself.
"Uh, yeah, Danny has a curfew… the ghosts hate him so they always come out at 9:55 and attack him, they like to see Danny in trouble." Kelly answered.
"Man that must be terrible." Muttered Fiona.
Danny's ghost sense went off and he looked at his watch. It read 9:55.
"Oh, see this is what I mean." Danny complained.
"What's wrong?" asked Fiona.
Just then three ghost vultures appeared in front of Danny. One flew forward to speak.
"Hello Danny Phantom, don't shoot, we just have a message from our boss. Plasmius says if your little girlfriend tells anyone about him, he will kill you and your human friends and tell the people the truth. In other words, he is going to cover up his exposure with yours. Imagine what they will say when the find out Danny Phantom is actually the halfa named d…" the vulture said.
He couldn't finish it because Danny punched him. He crashed into a tree as the others watched helplessly.
"Get him boys!" yelled one.
Danny looked at his watch and saw it was four minutes until curfew so wasted no time in sucking them inside his trusty thermos.
"What did he mean by halfa?" asked Keira.
Danny looked at Kelly who looked back. Kelly nodded and Danny sighed.
"Half ghost, half human." Danny said.
"Wow, so you are human as well? Awesome!" squealed Fiona.
"Don't go telling people, this isn't something I want known." Danny told them.
"We won't, if you come for dinner at the nasty burger at seven tomorrow." Bargained Fiona.
"Alright, oh man, its 10:00! I better be off, night Kell." Danny called, flying off.
"Are you a halfa too?" asked Keira.
"Yeah, I'm a halfa too. I have to go now, my mom and dad haven't heard from me in ages, they are probably thinking that Danny and I got in trouble, see you kids tomorrow!" Kelly said as she also flew off.
Danny flew in the direction of his house at his top speed; 150mph. he landed inside a bush and passers by saw a flash of light. Danny hopped out. Luckily a lot of people in Amity Park were dumb and didn't suspect a thing. Danny twisted the handle and opened the door, awaiting his punishment. Just as he expected, his mother and father were standing in front of them.
"Why are you late again young man?" asked Maddie.
"I was… talking to Kelly's parents." Danny told them.
"Well, do you want us to ring them up and ask? Remember when you lied and Tucker's mom said you weren't even there? Well, I don't trust you young man, I am ringing Kelly's parents. What's her last name?" asked Maddie.
"Stager." Danny groaned.
"Well, son, go sit down in the lounge room we will join you as soon as we find the phone." Jack instructed.
Danny sighed and took a seat on the lounge chair. He hoped that since Kelly's parents knew what he was doing they would make up an excuse for him. Jazz came in with a glass of water in her hand with aqua pyjamas on.
"What were you doing this time?" asked Jazz.
"Fighting Vlad's vultures and talking to fan girls." Danny admitted.
"What did the vultures want? Oh, god, I forgot to tell you, I saw heaps of cute Danny Phantom souvenirs at a shop in town." Chirped Jazz.
"How cute! Anyway, they said to me that they had a message from Vlad. He said that if my ghost girlfriend told people who he was he would expose me and kill the ones around me. He still doesn't know she's a halfa." Laughed Danny.
Jazz joined in laughing, sometimes Vlad could be so clueless.
"What are you two laughing about?" asked Jack.
"A joke that Sam told us." Jazz covered for them.
"Kids, I have decided to put it on speaker phone so that we all believe me when I say they have no clue what you are talking about." Maddie said.
Jazz looked at Danny with a questioning look.
"Kelly's parents know because she told them about me. I told her she could." Danny whispered in Jazz's ears.
"Oh." Sighed Jazz.
Maddie dialled a few numbers and pushed the speaker button.
"Hello Stager residence, Kelly speaking." Kelly answered.
"Hello Kelly, this is Mrs. Fenton, I was wondering if I could speak to your mother?" asked Maddie.
"Alright Mrs. Fenton, I will go get her." Kelly told her.
"Thanks."
"Hello, Mrs. Stager speaking." A new voice answered.
"Hello Mrs. Stager, Danny came home late today looking like he had been in a fight, I was wondering if you knew anything about it?" Maddie asked.
"He did? Oh, that! We talked to him and asked if he could get something out of the attic for us, since he is such a strong boy, he stayed a little later asking if we needed any more help. I'm sorry that we kept him too late, it is my fault." Explained Mrs. Stager.
"Oh, thank you for that, I thought Danny was lying when he told us that, I'm sorry to disturb you." Maddie apologised.
"That's alright; would Kelly be able to speak to Danny? She said something about forgetting which page they had to read for English." Asked Mrs. Stager.
"Sure, I will put him on." Maddie said.
Danny took the phone off of his mom and ran upstairs.
"Hello?" answered Danny.
"Was it a ghost? Try to be more careful next time, I will always be here for you though, I know that you don't want to tell them so I will cover for you, just don't try and make this regular. I wont always be home you know?" Mrs. Stager warned.
"Yes, thanks so much, I am going to tell them, just not yet. I think I might tell them soon. I will be more careful, bye Mrs. Stager!" Danny said.
"Bye Danny, try and stay out of trouble."
AFTER SCHOOL; TUESDAY AT THE NASTY BURGER; DINNER.
Danny and Kelly walked behind the nasty burger. They saw that no one was there so they went ghost there. They floated inside the building invisibly and looked around for Keira and Fiona. Soon they found them in a booth in a corner, looking out for them. They took a seat across from the two girls and turned visible.
"What's up?" asked Danny.
The girls hadn't noticed the two ghosts had joined them and jumped a bit. They turned around to make sure it was the right ghosts.
"Oh, hey, nothing, we were just waiting for you." Giggled Fiona.
"So, what have YOU TWO been up to?" asked Keira.
"Almost getting killed by my parents for being late home." Danny told them.
The two girls looked at each other, trying to find to if it were a joke. Danny Phantom was already half dead, could he get any deader?
"Really? Aren't you a ghost?" asked Keira.
"Yeah, but they don't know that. Luckily her parents know that I'm a ghost and her mom covered for me, Kell, you have awesome parents, tell your mom I said thanks." Danny reminded Kelly.
"Well, she knows that I stay out late sometimes and she knew what it would be like not knowing, she wants you to tell your parents, I can tell." Kelly told Danny.
"I want to tell my parents but who knows if they will put a gun to my face? Well, an ecto-gun. I just don't think the timing is right at the moment, with Vlad threatening me, but I COULD tell my parents, then he doesn't have a reason to threaten me." Danny said.
"Who's Vlad? Is he that billionaire?" asked Fiona.
"Ye… no, Vlad Plasmius, a ghost who has his head bent on finding me and making me his evil apprentice." Danny explained.
"Whoa, do all the ghosts want you their evil apprentice?" asked Keira.
"Nah, skulker wants my pelt on his wall, walker wants me back in jail which I kinda escaped… the rest mainly want me gone, except a few good ghosts." Danny laughed.
"How did you escape jail?" asked Keira.
"Oh, it was in the ghost zone. In the ghost zone, humans are the ghosts." Danny explained.
"Cool!" cheered Fiona.
They kept talking for about an hour until a figure in red stepped up to them.
"What are you doing now? Keeping two young girl's hostage? That's pretty low… even for you." The figure laughed.
"Oh, you're off your shift already Val?" asked Danny.
"Don't use my name, and yes, I am getting rid of you for good this time, you and your girlfriend." Snapped Valerie.
"We're kinda talking here!" Kelly told Valerie.
"She bothers you much?" asked Fiona.
"Yeah, she thinks we're evil. I don't get it, I could destroy her but I don't, because I wouldn't do something like that, she just needs to learn that all ghosts aren't evil, some just want to be left alone. Hey, that's what the dairy king said to me when he freed me from Plasmius' trap. I remember it almost perfectly.
First I was ghost, then skulker threw a box at me. Then Plasmius came in and I found out who he was, then the box did something to my powers and I'm like I'm going ghost! Going ghost! Why cant I go ghost? That kinda was a bit funny, I couldn't go ghost. Then he laughed because I had a battle cry and left to destroy my dad.
Soon after when I had tried chewing through it the dairy king appeared. I asked what he was going to do to me and he pressed a button that made the box shrink again. He said something about some ghosts just want to be left alone. He is one of the not evil ghosts I know, its pretty mean how Plasmius stole his castle off of him.
So I went and defeated Plasmius, I told him I would walk out of my father and expose us both and then he's like; you wouldn't! And I'm like; my parents will except me for who I am, but you, what would my mom think of you? Then he disappeared and I exited my dad's body and then we had to drive home, and my curfew remained ten." Danny explained.
"Wow, does this stuff happen almost every day?" asked Keira.
"Yeah, I always have to find an excuse." Danny sighed.
It was weird after that, Valerie sighed and sat down next to Fiona and listened to what Danny was saying. Danny didn't notice this for a few seconds.
"Wait, you're listening to me talk? You're not hunting me down? But, I thought you didn't want to talk?" Danny asked her.
"I guess I want an explanation for A LOT of things." Valerie told him.
"Alright, just don't expect me to answer every question you know." I told her.
"Ok then, tell me how you became a ghost." Valerie demanded.
"Half ghost you mean." Fiona said.
"Half ghost? Wait, you're not a full ghost?" asked Valerie.
Danny sighed. He whacked himself in the head. He had almost forgotten Kelly was there when she started explaining for him.
"No, he isn't and neither am I. we are half human, half ghost. There are only three in the world." Explained Kelly.
"Who are YOU?' asked Valerie.
"She's my girlfriend." Danny answered.
"You still haven't answered my question." Valerie told him.
"Oh, yeah, two words. Lab accident." Danny answered.
"You?" Valerie asked Kelly.
"Um, I fell into a sewer and got zapped with ectoplasmic energy. Next thing I knew, I was a ghost, have been one for about half a year." Answered Kelly.
"How come I never see you around then?" asked Valerie.
"Um…. I only met Danny the other day." Answered Kelly.
Just then Sam and Tucker walked in. they saw the group conversation and Tucker screamed in surprise, wondering what Valerie was making Danny do. Danny noticed Tucker and Sam and heard Tucker scream, unlike the others.
"Excuse me for a minute." Danny excused himself and flew out of his seat.
He flew over to Tucker.
"I know I told her I wanted to talk, but she could find out!" Danny complained to Tucker who didn't know that Danny was there.
"Hey man, poor you. Group session?" asked Tucker.
"Yeah, can you two join to stop me from saying things I shouldn't, Kelly isn't that good at it yet, I already revealed that I'm a halfa." Asked Danny.
"YOU DID WHAT? I'MA COMING DANNY, IMA COMING!" yelled Sam.
Danny rolled his eyes and went back to the table. The others didn't see Danny with Sam and Tucker because he was invisible.
"Hey, sorry about that." Danny apologised.
"No ghosts?" asked Kelly.
"Nah, I had a feeling Plasmius was watching though." Danny told her.
Sam and Tucker walked up to the five people sitting in the corner booth.
"Hey, look its Danny Phantom, KGB, Valerie and two kids. Mind if we join you?" Tucker asked.
"Wait, how did you know who I am? And who they are?" asked Valerie.
"Uh, Danny's parents ARE ghost hunters, you know?" Tucker said.
He and Sam squeezed in between the others. They waited for the conversation to start up again. Suddenly, Danny shivered.
"What's wrong?" asked Tucker.
"Ghost…" Danny shivered.
Just as Danny said that a blue head with red eyes and fangs stuck out of the table.
"I thought I felt your eyes on me." Danny said, clearly unamused.
"Daniel, Daniel, Daniel… you never learn. Now, I will give you one more chance to join me or I expose you." Vlad threatened.
Danny cleared his throat and pulled something out of his jumpsuit pocket. It was the Plasmius Maximus with a cap on it so that it wouldn't rub against Danny and expose him. Danny raised an eyebrow and Vlad frowned at him.
"What? You still have that, but but, no don't, I'm soo sorry. Please, don't hurt me Daniel, or don't expose me." Plasmius begged.
"Is he the guy who tried to kill your father?" asked Fiona.
They all stared at Fiona.
"YOU ARE TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT ME?" Vlad asked, making everyone in the Nasty Burger turn and look at the ghost.
"Nah, just the dairy king, you were kinda in the way though." Danny said coolly.
"I swear I will have revenge on you, if it is the last thing I do. Wait, you didn't tell them about my… other side." Vlad said, trying not to make it sound obvious.
"Wait… he's a halfa too?" asked Keira.
"Cool!" squealed Fiona.
Vlad mentally hit himself twenty times.
"Wait, they know what halfa's are?" Vlad asked.
"Oh, yeah, they know about me, just not who I am. Well, I managed to punch your vulture just before he said my name, so I guess I owed them an explanation." Danny explained.
"Wait, so this was my fault?" Vlad asked.
"Yeah, I cant wait to bring you down with old man." Smirked Danny.
"You wouldn't!" Vlad told him.
"Oh, if I'm down, you are coming down as well, wouldn't want the public to figure it out on their own. I mean, its so obvious. You got hit in the face with ectoplasmic energy and so did I, except my whole body got exposed to the energy. No wonder it took you 20 years to get powers I don't have; for example, my Ghostly Wail." Danny told him.
"Ghostly what?" asked Vlad.
"Want to know? If I hadn't changed the future, you would know by now and you would be hardly alive, I would've taken over your ghost half, believe me, I've been there." Danny told him.
"Yes I want to know what it is." Vlad told him, getting impatient.
"No way man, you do NOT want to see this." Tucker warned.
Sam elbowed Tucker and everyone looked at him. Tucker shook his head.
"What? I saw him use it once!" Tucker defended himself.
"So, Daniel, what are you waiting for?" asked Vlad.
"Nothing, except a clearer space." Danny told him.
Danny got out of the seat and went outside where there was a patch where no one was and nothing stood that could be destroyed. Vlad stood in front of Danny, smirking. Danny sucked in and Vlad thought it would be fun. Danny suddenly let go of his breath and it came out in sonic waves, smashing glass. Everyone watched from where they were sitting. Two dark purple rings appeared around Vlad's body and light blue around Danny's. Danny saw his and Vlad's rings and stopped his own. He rushed to Vlad and stopped Vlad's, just in case Vlad exposed him. He went back to join the others who were staring.
"Well, what were the rings?" asked Valerie.
"Uh… it took A LOT of energy out of me, normally it makes me pass out, and it almost did. Those rings appear when I transform." Danny explained.
"Wow." Everyone said in unison.
