Hiya! How are you all? Right now I'm in a car typing! See how dedicated I am to my stories. My mom and me are driving back from Mesa. We were helping my grandma pack boxes just like last weekend. Where's the box ghost when you need him right! Let's just say I have three very annoying dogs in the car tap dancing one my last good nerve! Sorry, I just really needed to vent. Thank you for listening, unless you just skipped over this then curse you!

Danny's first day back to school is going to be split up into two parts to make it easier on me. And I'm still not sure what the big plot to this story is going to be, so I'm making this up as I go along. I sorry, I'm talking to much! Gee I wonder if anyone really reads the A/N!

Never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow. Mark Twain

On with the show. I don't own Danny Phantom! But my ring tone on my cell phone is the theme song!

"Vlad! What are you doing here?" a shouted Danny looking into the eyes of his arch enemy. But Vlad just smirked in return.

"Is that Vladdy? How you doing V-man?' said Jack Fenton walking to the door ushering Vlad in. "What brings you to Amity Park?" he asked.

"I was watching the news last night and saw what happened at Casper high's play. I could barley believe it so I started he this morning, then I watched the news conference and I knew it was true." explained Vlad. "I thought I would help my best friends in this difficult time. I know it's late, but I thought I would come over before I checked into my hotel room ' he finished.

"Nonsense Vlad, you should stay here in our guest room. We'll go and get your bags." said Jack. "You talk to the kids. Come on Maddie." the two adults left the room.

The four teens scowled at Vlad. "So what are you really doing here Vlad? Worried that I'll reveal your secret?" snapped Danny.

"In a way yes. I saw at the conference that you only said that there indeed was another Halfa, I'm just here to make sure that you don't say anything else. Are we clear?" answered Vlad.

"Crystal Mr. Masters, just no funny business and my brother won't say anything." said Jazz stepping in between Danny and Vlad.

Maddie and Jack came in with perfect timing. "We have to bags, come on Vlad we'll show you to your room. You must be tired after the long drive, I think we all are after a day like today. Let's all go to bed and talk in the morning." said Maddie walking up the stairs behind her husband, Vlad gladly followed think things that no one should ever hear.

"Okay mom, come on Sam your staying in my room. Tuck, your staying in Danny's." said Jazz following Vlad. Sam, Tucker and Danny followed.;

The next day, Sunday, was basically a day of rest for everyone. Danny, Sam and Tucker mainly stayed in Danny's room trying to avoid Vlad at all costs. Danny still didn't want to go out n public yet, it was hard enough that his parents and sister were making him go to school tomorrow. So the trio just played video games and watched t.v. all day, occasionally turning to that news which always seemed to have Danny on it.

That night at dinner Danny had to sit there and take all the lies that Vlad was feeding his parents, he almost jumped up and told his secret twice. Thankfully his sister and friends were there to stop him.

"So Danny, I'm sure the ladies are going to be all over you tomorrow at school." said Vlad.

Danny was about to speak, but Sam beat him to it. "Yes, but he can just say that he has a girlfriend, I'm willing to beat anything that Paullina is going to be all over Danny tomorrow. Isn't that right Danny?" said Sam turning to Danny.

"Yes, Paullina never gave Danny Fenton a second glance. She only has eyes for Danny Phantom." said Danny.

"O, and who is this lucky girl Daniel. Your girl friend I mean." asked Vlad curious.

Tucker answered this time. "Sam. She was Juliet for the play and Danny was Romeo. It was only a matter of time before this play got these two lovebirds together." he said smiling.

"TUCKER!" exclaimed Danny and Sam.

"Hey you didn't deny the lovebird commit did you?" he said smiling wider. Danny and Sam blushed.

"Danny, I've been meaning to ask. You said there was another Halfa, who is he?" asked Maddie making Vlad and Danny freeze.

"Well, I don't think I should say who he is." said Danny, then smiling to himself he added. "I've to say he is one seriously crazed up fruit loop. He wanted me to join him and cause evil. I refused so now he has it out for me." Vlad frowned at this making Danny smile more and making Sam, Tucker and Jazz laugh.

"I guess you three have met him." asked Maddie.

"Yes mom we have, and Danny's right he is a fruit loop." said Jazz, making Vlad even angrier. The rest of the dinner went by in silence.

"Danny, wake up." said Jazz knocking at his door.

"I'm up, I'm up." he said sitting up in his bed and rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Then he opened them only to close them immediately. "The sun it burns! No wonder Sam's not a morning person!" After Danny's eyes adjusted to the evil, evil sun he got dressed and walked down the stairs for breakfast. "Morning." he said to everyone (besides Vlad I mean) as he sat down.

He stared down at the bacon and eggs on his plate. "I'm not very hungry." he said pushing the plate away in discuss.

"O honey you should eat something. Besides, Vlad worked really hard to make this breakfast for us." said Maddie.

'O that'll make me eat it. Knowing Vlad he put poison in mine.' thought Danny, then saying out loud. "Thanks Vlad, but I'm too nervous to eat." then hearing the doorbell ring Jazz and him stood up. "That's Sam and Tucker. We have to go. Bye mom, dad."

"Good luck Danny." said his mom hugging him.

"Yes, good luck today Daniel." said Vlad.

Jazz and Danny walked out the door to find Sam and Tucker sitting on the bottom step. "Come on, I'll drive you." said Jazz unlocking her car and sitting in the driver's seat. Danny slid into the back seat with Sam while Tucker took the front passenger seat. The car ride to school was mostly silent, Danny almost forgot everything when he was clutching Sam's hand tightly. The silence was then broken by Jazz when they pulled into the school parking lot. "Danny don't let anyone get to you. Sam, Tucker and I will be here for you. Remember your the one in control here, what people say well only hurt you if you let it hurt you." said Jazz turning off the car.

"I know Jazz, and I won't Thanks." said Danny opening the door and stepping out still holding Sam's hand firmly. "Now, let's face the music."

Not many people noticed them at first, most where worrying about the report they had to do over the weekend or about the week's hottest new couple. The four teens walked into Casper high and they split up, Jazz going to the Jr. lockers and the other three going to the freshman lockers. Danny could feel the stares on his back has he walked down the hallway to his locker. When he and his friends arrived at his their lockers, which were all next to each other, Danny let out a sigh of relief. Good, he had made it all the way to his locker without anything happening. It was a start.

The trio grabbed their books and walked to homeroom, they thought it would be easier to get there earlier. They all sat down at together, Danny played with Sam's fingers waiting for the bell to ring. It was strange, usually he was late for homeroom because of a ghost but here he was early. Apparently it was strange to Mr. Lancer too because when he entered the classroom he said. "Mr. Fenton? It's strange enough that your early, but I thought after this what happened at the play on Friday you would stay home for awhile."

"Yeah, Jazz didn't want me to miss any school and besides I'm going to have to face the world sooner or later." said Danny.

"Yes, I suppose your right. And Mr. Fenton, just because you have a after school job doesn't' mean your excused from homework." said Lancer pulling some papers out of his briefcase.

Danny laughed, he knew if any teacher didn't let him get away with homework because they knew his secret it was going to be Lancer. "Yes Mr. Lancer." he said.

Then his stomach dropped when the bell rang. He took a deep breath, this was it. Students started to file into the room, some fell silent when they saw Danny and started to whisper once they sat down. "Everyone quiet, just because there is something to gossip about doesn't mean you have to!" said Lancer and everyone quieted down as the morning announcements started. The bell for the next class rang but Danny, Sam and Tucker just stayed along with a couple other students because they had American Lit. with Mr. Lancer. "Today we well be discussing. . . . " started Mr. Lancer. Danny tried to listen he really did but his thoughts seemed to wonder. The day seemed to go well so far, but would it last? His thoughts were interrupted by a ruler slamming on his desk. "Mr. Fenton!"

Danny jerked his head up. "Huh!"

"Mr. Fenton can you tell me what was one of Edgar Allen Poe's most famous poems were?" asked Mr. Lancer.

This was easy, Poe was one of his favorite writers. He sure was lucky. "The Raven Mr. Lancer."

Mr. Lancer's face fell. "Correct, very good." Then he continue his lecture, Danny decided it would be safer to listen this time. "Now, Poe seemed to always write tales of murder and ghosts." most eye turned to Danny for the last part. "Most thought he was crazy, but he really created a new type of writing and today most like his poems and short stories." Mr. Lancer continue until the bell rang half an hour later and the trio stood to go to science, which was boring I may add, then to math. After math they walked to the lunch room got their food and walked to their regular table. They sat down and started to talk when Danny noticed Valerie sitting alone in a corner table.

Danny stood up. "I should go talk to her. Set things right." he said.

"Ok Danny, good luck." said Sam and Tucker.

Danny proceeded to the table in the corner and sat down across from Valerie. "Hi Val." he started, Valerie just stared down at her food ignoring him. "I can see you don't want to talk so I'll just go on speaking. Val, I'm sorry that your dad lost his job but it wasn't my fault. That ghost dog just wanted to get his toy and he destroyed the lab finding it. I'm sorry for lying to you, but I wasn't sure how you would react, how everyone would react." Danny sighed. "I just hope you can forgive me, and you should keep hunting ghosts. Your really good at it, I should know I was the one trying to out fly you." Danny laughed.

Valerie looked up. "Do you mean it? You think I'm a good ghost hunter."

"Yes, I could really use the help." said Danny.

"Ok, I'm not going to hunt you anymore but I will keep hunting other ghost. The thing is it might take a little time for me to completely trust you again." said Valerie.

"I know." he said standing up. "And Valerie, thanks." he said smiling and walked back to his table.

I hope you like this chapter! Part 2 should come out soon. I have been alternating updating "It's Time" then this story, but I might change that and update this before because I'm not completely sure what to do.

TTFN!
