The end of a phantom. Pt 7.
After Danny's ghost sense went off, he'd ask to be excuse from social studies. The teacher asked him why, he made up a lie that gets you excused from a social studies class the day of a quiz. His ghost sense was going off like nuts. When Danny got to where his ghost sense was leading him to, Jazz was standing in front of him. Danny just crossed his arms and said,
"Alright Plasmius, get out of Jazz."
"Oh Daniel, why'd you have to ruin my fun? You know I wouldn't have hurt Jazz. Well you and your father, yes." complained Vlad as he stepped out of Jazz.
"Thanks……" said Danny.
"Oh, you're welcome." replied Vlad.
"Can we pick this up, I've got a quiz on the Aztecs I've gotta take. I'm going ghost!" yelled Danny, but he wasn't able to transform into Danny Phantom. "What! Why can't I go ghost?"
"So you powers are still short circuited? I didn't think it would last for a sol lade two weeks. Oh well." said Vlad as he shot Danny with his ecto-ray from his hands. Danny was able to dodge it but as soon as he landed, Vlad shot him in the ankles and hit him.
"AHHHHH!" yelled Danny as the ecto-ray hit his ankles. He reached down and grabbed his ankles, ignoring the blood that was coming out of his cut ankle.
"Ha! My plan might actually work after all!" laughed Vlad in his joy.
"Danny…….?" moaned Jazz as she grabbed her head and looked off in daze. Danny shot his arm out towards Jazz and yelled help. While he tried to stand up, but he fell.
"Ha! To late late for that child! No one can help you now!" shouted Vlad as he walked towards Danny and picked Danny up by his collar.
"Wanna bet?" yelled Valerie as she pointed her bazooka toward Vlad. She got on target, about to blast it but as soon as she was about to blast him, Vlad put Danny in the way.
"Come now child, do you really want to kill me? By killing me you would kill the ghost you've been hunting. But isn't that what you want? I gave you that equipment and I can destroy it just as easily." yelled Vlad as he looked at Valerie. She saw the blood stain through Danny's jeans, she knew he was hurt, so with that, she lowered her bazooka and apologized to Danny.
Then out of no where Jazz came running out and screamed, "LET GO OF MY LITTLE BROTHER!"
"It seems that the Fenton family is weak after all. Half ghost or not!" yelled Vlad to both Jazz and Danny.
"Jazz stop! I don't want you getting hurt! I don't want you involved in this fight!" yelled Danny to Jazz trying to make her stop.
"To late for that Danny. I'm the bait in Vlad's plan. You're my little brother and I'm your big sister. It's my job and mom and dad's to protect you." explained Jazz as she stopped it in a warm way. She made Danny smile.
"Enough of this warm fuzzy moment! Anymore of this and you'll make me puke!" yelled Vlad as he threw Danny toward Jazz.
"I got ya' Danny!" yelled Jazz as she caught her brother. But ended up falling on her butt.
Valerie then realized with Danny out of Vlads grasp, she could shoot him.
"Alright Vlad, now with Danny out of the way, I can finally shoot you." yelled Valerie as she pointed her bazooka and blasted at Vlad. But Vlad just put up a shield. He called her a silly girl and blasted her out of site. Danny yelled out her name and try to stand up and fight Vlad. But because of his ankle, Danny couldn't stand or fight. Apparently Danny still had some feelings for Valerie. During Tucker's math class, also out of site where Danny, Jazz, and Vlad where, he saw Valerie land on her back and with that, Tucker ran out of the school without an explanation for the teacher and went to Valerie's said and yelled out for the school nurse. The nurse told him that they need to get her to the ER as soon as possible. Danny was limping with his hand over Jazz's shoulder as she held his. They managed to get out of Vlad's watching eye's. Jazz and Danny saw the emergency truck and Jazz picked Danny up and ran over to the truck to see what happened.
"Tucker! What happened!" yelled Danny.
"Danny! Thank goodness you're here! It's Valerie, she landed on her back. She's going to the ER. What happened to your ankle? You're bleeding threw your pants. Maybe you should come with us to get that checked out." explained tucker who was at Valerie's side.
"Plasmius!" Danny yelled as his eyes turned bright green. "Tucker, I'm coming with you guys. And yeah I'll get my ankle checked out. But what about Sam? We can't just leave her alone in the school without telling her that we're heading over to the hospital. Wait we're going to a hospital, aren't you scared?" said Danny.
"A little, but call Sam. She's in read- rap this period well half period, but she won't get in that much trouble. Maybe a detention but that's it." said Tucker.
With that Danny called Sam. In Sam's read- rap room her phone began to vibrate.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Sam? It's me Danny. Me and Tucker are on our way to the hospital."
"Why? What happened?"
"Plasmius happened. My ghost sense went off in social studies and Plasmius was there and he shot Valerie and she landed on her back. Vlad shot me in the ankle so I'm going to get that checked out. What about you? Are you going to be alright?"
"Yeah I'll be fine. Give Val my best wishes and Danny?"
"Yeah?"
"Please be careful. I have a bad feeling about the doctors and your blood. Oh crap! I've gotta go Danny, the teacher just caught me on my phone." and with that she hung up.
"So is Sam gonna be alright?" asked Tucker.
"Yeah she'll be fine. She's just worried about my blood and the doctors." replied Danny.
"Why?" asked Tucker.
"Probably because of my DNA with it having ghost in it. But I think I'll be fine." whispered Danny to Tucker because of all the doctors in the car watching over Valerie making sure they don't loose her.
When they reached the hospital, Tucker was holding on to Danny's hand which was over his shoulder. Danny was still limping over his ankle. It had gotten to the point where the blood stained so hard through his pants, his sky blue blue jeans were now a light purple in a way. A doctor came over and put Danny in a wheel chair so he could take Danny to a room where he would check out his ankle. And so Danny doesn't have to walk on it.
"Alright, what happened to your ankle?" asked the doctor looking at his notebook.
"Uh…..I fell down the steps." said Danny trying to make up an excuse instead of, 'oh my arch enemy kidnapped my sister, blasted me in the ankle, and hurt my friend.'
"Alright we're just going to have to put a cast on that, clean up the blood and you're good to go. But I can't say that for you're friend, the girl what's her name?" asked the doctor.
"Her name is Valerie Grey. And is she going to be ok?" asked Danny.
"Hopefully she'll be alright. But we have to keep her here for about a week so we can check out her spine. Can you tell her guardian that?"
"Sure. Uh, how long will it take for my cast?"
"Oh just an hour. But lets start to clean up the blood." with that the doctor pulled Danny's pants up to his knees and started to clean the blood with some disinfect dent. "This might sting a little." warned the doctor. Danny told him it was okay. Danny's dealt with far greater pain then that.
An hour passed very quickly for Danny, but an eternity for Tucker. Tucker always hated this place because of the needles and other pointy stuff. Tuck tried to cool down during that hour, but he kept on freaking out over the sight. A nurse had to come over to calm him down. Danny came out with crutches and a cast on his ankle. The doctor told him that whatever broke his ankle and that it should heal in a month.
"Tucker, we can go now." Danny said as he came into the waiting room.
"But what about Valerie?" asked Tucker.
They both turned their head to the ER where Valerie was in sight and Danny said, "They need to keep her here to check her spine. This is all my fault. If Valerie never found out about the other half of me this would never have happened. I just hope she'll be alright."
"Don't worry dude, I bet she'll be fine. You shouldn't blame yourself for everything that happened to her. Back at the lab, me and Sam called her. So it's our fault not yours. But when this whole thing is over, Valerie won't be hunting you anymore." said Tucker as he tried to comfort his half ghost half human friend.
"Well that's the good part about this, the bad part is, her dad probably won't let me near her for the rest of high school." said Danny as him and Tucker exited the hospital. Tucker was now happy.
"You still have feelings for her, don't you?" asked Tucker. He watched his friend shake his head yes. "Dude you gotta get over her. Think about, on one hand she likes this half of you. And on the other hand, she want's to kill the other half." tucker thought for a moment on how he might be able to give Danny clues about Sam's feeling toward him. "Dude, what about Sam, don't you like her? And I mean more then as a friend?"
Danny thought for a second about the answer, " I don't know." he finally replied. "I mean I still like Valerie, but, those words, like and love, their becoming very popular throughout a lot of people's vocabulary, and I don't like it. But I'll definitely have to get back to you on that. Like, senior year of high school or something. When this whole things over."
"It's okay dude. Just tell me when you need to." responded Tucker as he tried to comfort his best friend. Back at the school, Sam was in her eighth period class, science. She kept on looking out the window, in concern for Valerie and Danny. Please be okay Danny. Sam thought to herself as her teacher asked her to tell her how many atoms are in this formula. Sam said six, and was right. Once more she staired out the window in boredom. Then after the bell rang, when she was outside, she started to look for Danny and Tucker. She saw them walking towards the school, but Danny wasn't in full view. The ankle where Plasmius hit him was covered, Sam could only see his head. Oh good, he's alright! Then she saw him in full view. Oh no, he's got crutches! How is he gonna fight ghost with a broken ankle? Well when he's able to fight ghost. Sam thought to herself as she walked towards her best friends.
"Danny. How are you going to fight ghost when you get your powers back?" asked San.
"That's a pleasant way of greeting me after an hour of being in the hospital." replied Danny.
"Sorry. Just asking. Hey Tucker. How's Valerie? Where's Valerie?" asked Sam.
"Hey Sam. She's gonna be in the hospital for a while. They need to keep her in observation to check her spine." replied Tucker.
"That really stinks. When I go see her, I'll give her my best wishes. Have you told her dad yet?" asked Sam.
"No not yet. But her dad probably won't let me near her till the end of High School if I'm that lucky. Sometimes I wish I was normal instead of being half ghost. That way none of my friends would get hurt." replied Danny looking towards the ground.
"Cheer up dude, at least you don't have any homework tonight." said Tucker as he tried to comfort Danny.
"Crap. I totally bailed on my social studies teacher. And I had a quiz on the Aztecs today too! I think I'm gonna get a detention for cutting class on the day of a quiz." yelled Danny as he remembered his quiz.
"Ouch. That will probably hurt you grade. But did you give the teacher an excuse. Or asked to be excused?" asked Sam.
"Excused. I told her it was a family emergency. But when I come to school tomorrow with a cast on she'll ask, 'oh my what happened to your ankle?' and get all girly on me." replied Danny.
"Excuse me? Get all girly? If your teachers hard core, she'll just ask out of curiosity. Not all women get all 'sentimental' like you guys think." replied Sam as she stopped both boys in their track.
"Yeah you're probably right." said Danny.
"But still, a female teacher who cares for a student with a cast, my wish will come true!" said Tucker in his perverted voice. Sam and Danny just shook their heads no and continued to walk. A while later Tucker and Sam arrived at Danny's to drop him off, but their was a problem, his crutches.
"Uh guys, a little help here!" yelled Danny as Tucker and Sam came running over to help him up the stairs. Tucker helped him up and Sam got his crutches for him. As they entered the door, Jazz was standing their in front of him. She slapped Danny across the face and yelled,
"Why didn't you tell me you broke your ankle!"
"Sorry! I guess I forgot! I'm really not in a good mood right now Jazz. Valerie's still in the hospital and I'm worried about her so please get off my back!" Danny yelled. As Danny said those words, I'm worried, Sam knew he didn't care for her the way she cared about him.
"I gotta go, Mr. Lancer gave me a ton of homework. See ya' later Danny. Feel better." Sam said as her and Tucker left.
"What's wrong Sam?" Tucker asked.
"It's Danny. He still has feelings for Valerie doesn't he?"
"Uh-huh."
"I guess we're never meant to be. Tucker you've known since the eighth grade that I love Danny. It's just now that I realize that he'll never love me back. I guess, I am not the one." said Sam as she looked down at her notebook. During her science class, she wrote all over the inside cover of her notebook, I love Danny Fenton. She was thankful she sat next to a window in the back of the room and no one could see her besides her teacher.
"Sam don't say that. You don't know if that's all true. Sure Danny still has feelings towards Valerie, but how long has she known Danny? Not as long as us. We know most of his secrets and even his biggest one he'll probably ever have! Valerie only knows one of his secrets. Well, here's my place. Sam, cheer up. Think of the positives. See ya'."
"Yeah see ya'." Sam said as she looked at the ground walking towards her place.
A/N: I know, not a very cliffy ending. But I was running dry of ideas, I mean I was caught up in my Teen Titans story (a friend lost but not forgotten.) so anyways I hope you like this chapter the next will probably be more cliffy if I don't end it on the 8th chapter. Hey I used some nightmare before Christmas song lyrics in Sam's dialogue. "Sally's song" is my favorite song in that movie in the next chapter i'll put the whole song in there, but anyway hope you liked it. sorry it's getting so long!
