Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Danny Phantom. O.o

a/n: Well, I know that that last chapter was terrible...I guess it was just my mood. I got this review and I was all excited, but it's like they were trying to say something really mean (which I don't understand why anyone would do that) but I really just didn't get it. But, I was all sad, so I don't think that I was doing my best. Sorry about that folks. Anyways, try to enjoy...


Ellie's POV:

We scooted together, and then I thought, Why not? Then I placed my head on his shoulder.

"Much better." I whispered. I know that we were doing this really fast, but I...I don't know, it's like we just clicked. No, we were just friends. Yeah, that's it just friends.

We sat there gazing up at the stars for quite a while, that is until the door opened, letting light stream down on us. We jumped apart as though we had just been electrified.

"Danny my boy, it's time to go. Come and thank them for the wonderful meal." his dad said jovially.

"Right." he said hurrying up the steps to shake hands.

"Oh don't thank us, it was actually Ellie that cooked most of the meals. I just butted in." mom said motioning for me to come up and say good bye.

"Mom..." I said feeling my face burn.

"It's true, she's very talented at cooking." my dad chimed in.

After all the embarassment and so longs the Fentons went walking over to their house. My mom and dad went inside and I waited at the door until I saw them go in. Danny saw me and waved. I smiled and waved back. Then I went inside and went to bed.

The next morning I woke up to my screaming alarm clock, and sun pouring in through the gap in my curtains. I groaned and pushed myself out from underneath my covers. I got ready and had my breakfast like any normal person and headed out the door. I waited at the bus stop for about five minutes before I heard the motor of a scooter.

"Hey!" I heard someone call to the right of me, and when I turned I saw that it was Danny riding the scooter.

"Hi." I said watching him come to a screeching halt in front of me.

"Do you want a ride? The bus doesn't come for another ten minutes, so..."

"Sure." I said climbingon the scooterbehind him.

"Here we go!" he said enthusiastically. It wasn't that bad of a scooter actually. Smooth riding, and pretty fast. We made good time, about just as long asit would have been to wait for the bus to come.

"Sam and Tucker were going to meet me in the cafeteria, you go ahead." he pointed to the doors a little ways behind the school.

I nodded and began my walk. And guess what happened...yep. Dash. He came bounding up out of nowhere thrusting a piece of paper in my face, and blocking my path to the doors.

"Wuz up there Ellie? Did you hear about the class camping trip that Mr. Lancer is letting our science class go on?"

"No...I didn't" I mumbled taking the paper that was almost shoved down my throat. It read 'The anual science camping trip for Freshman! This year at: Camp Berkensour.' It also had some cheezy pictures of kids 'having fun', even though you could tell that they probably wern't even at that camp.

"So...do you want to sit on the bus together?" he asked raising his eyebrows and slicking his hair back. Eeew. But just when I was about to say no I caught sight of Paulina with Danny. Holding the same piece of paper I was. Anger shot through me once again, I knew what she was asking him.

"Sure Dash, I'll sit with you." I said smiling and trying to flick back my hair like Paulina did that one day. Apparently it worked, because Dash froze and had a look of complete idiocy come over his face.

Danny's POV:

Oh my god! Paulina just asked me to sit on the bus with her for the field trip! YES! Wait...what about Ellie? I hope she won't mind. I thought as I walked into the cafeteria in a daze. Tucker and Sam came rushing over to me as soon as they saw me.

"Danny! What the heck happened?" Sam asked looking at me concerned.

"Paulina..." I said faintly.

"What?" Tucker asked.

"She asked me to...bus...field trip..."

"Wait. She asked you to go on that science field trip? With her?" Sam asked trying to see if my temperature was okay.

"Yeah...where's Ellie." we were walking through the doors into the bustling hallways now.

"She ran right past us dude. Looked like she was pretty upset, we didn't get a chance to ask her about it though." Tucker said taking out his PDA.

Just then we over heard some girls passing by us saying, "..yeah, and Dash went up to her and asked her if she wanted to go." "No way!" "Yeah, I was sure he was going to ask Paulina." "Get this,Ellie said yes." "No!" "Yeah!"

They giggled and walked quickly past us, still whispering about what had just happened. I stood stunned, disbelieving the fact that Ellie had just said yes to Dash of all people.

"What do you expect Danny? Dash got to her first." Sam said returning to the picking of her fingernail polish.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked angrily.

"Just what I said. You were too slow."

Heat flarred up inside me and I turned to walk in the opposite direction, "See you later."

I was so mad that I hid in the janitors closet and went ghost. Then I flew through the school invisible until I found Dash at his locker. I flew into him, and took over his body. I knew that it wouldn't help, but it made me feel better. I made Dash pick up a garbage can and dump it on himself, then flush his own head in the toilet, and finallyI hadhis pants drop down while I made him sing 'Mary had a Little Lamb'.

The bell rang and I changed back. All through first period I was sullen, and didn't talk to anyone. By the time second period came and it was time for me to face her. By then I had simmered down to a light boil. I had thought it over and found that I guess it was partly my fault for forgetting about it and not asking her sooner. But most of the blame was still on Dash.

I changed and met Tucker and Sam in our usual spot waiting for her to come, but she didn't. When class started I saw that she came in late. The teacher was pre occupied and I quickly went over to his clipboard and changed her absence to her being present. She saw me do this and I just waved for her to cut into the line in front of me. For the rest of the day we stood by each other in awkward silence.

Ellie's POV:

I know it was nice of him to do that for me in P.E, but that still didn't make up for his behaivior. God. I need to talk to someone. I thought as I rolled off of my bed. I trudged over to my computer and turned it on. I then went to AIM and logged on. I saw that everyone was on a chat box already, so I joined.

Ellie: Hi guys.

Pete: Wuz up.

Beth: OMG!

Brian: Hi.

Meghan: 'bout time!

Ellie: srry, so hows it going

Meghan: definitly not the sm w/out u

Brian: 2 true

Beth: so did u meet ny 1 there

Ellie: of course

Pete: ny 1 in particular

Ellie: well yeah

Meghan: really!

Ellie: his names danny, and then there's sam and tucker

Beth: nice (winks)

Ellie: shut up nothings happening anyways

Brian: why not i seem to remember that u were irresistable

Beth: oooo brian!

Brian: thats not what i ment!

And so I told them what had happened so far. Then I told them that I had homework to do and that I would talk to them later. I logged off, but had no intention of doing anything related to school just then. So instead I went to my window and looked around. From my window I could see Danny's house, along with a little bit of the sky. I noticed that night was aproching fast, and that the sun had just begun to set. My parents were still at work so the house was completely silent.

That's when I saw something flicker across the sky. What the... I thought as I looked out. Guess it was just a...ghost? I saw it again. This time it was accompanied by another ghost. I froze as I watched one of them shoot this wierd green stuff. It missed and the other ghost took off in the direction of the park. I immediatly decided that I couldn't miss this.

I ran down the stairs and out into the street, I then glanced around and saw them far off in the distance. I ran. Soon I found myself in front of an intence ghost cat fight.

"Deseray just give up! Your wishing days are over!" the ghost boy yelled to the woman ghost in front of him.

"How dare you speak to me that way! You shall pay for your insolence!" then she charged, one of her arms transforming into a giant sword. She swung and I gasped, but all the ghost boy had to do was...split himself. But in doing so he dropped something. I ran over and picked it up. It looked like a thermos, but mechanical. Pretty funky.

I saw him reach to his side in order to grab the thermos, but it wasn't there. He dodged another attack and I yelled up to him, " Here!"

He looked surprised, but he caught it. He then flipped off the lid just as the woman tried to swing again. Then she dissapeared into a bluish white swirling vortex thingy. I watched as the boy closed the lid and smiled triumphantly. Then he caught sight of me again and flew down. He landed in front of me without a sound.

"Thanks for helping me out there uh..." he said holding out his hand.

"Ellie. What just happened?" I asked grasping his hand and shaking it.

He smiled, "Just my job."

"That's nice. What's your name any ways?"

"Danny Phantom. Listen, it's getting late, let me take you home."

"Oh no that's...ahhh!" I began but all of a sudden I was swept off my feet and into the sky.

"Where to?" he asked laughing at my panic. I pointed to my house, and we shot towards it. When we got there he asked me, "Where's your room?"

I looked at him bewildered and he said, "I don't think that your parents would like it if you came in this late or saw me for that matter."

"True. That one." and I pointed to my window. He flew up and then without warning we turned invisible. I closed my eyes ready for us to crash into the wall, but we didn't. When I opened my eyes next we were visible and floating just above my bed. He let go of my legs slowly and set me down. All I could do was stare at him. He was almost familiar, but he was nothing like anyone I knew. Snowy white hair, green glowing eyes, and a black jump suit that had a white D on it didn't exactally fit any profiles.

Then he dissapeared.

Time Jump! The day of the field trip. Danny's POV:

Ellie and I had barely spoken to each other for the past week, but everytime my thoughts weren't being barged in on by Paulina (at odd momments that I really didn't get) I kept on thinking of the night she had seen me as a ghost. That night I had found out that her window was right across from mine. It was wierd though before I dissapeared she looked at me funny. I didn't exactally know what to do, so I turned invisible and left.

"Danny? Danny are you even listening to me?" Paulina said waving a hand in front of my face.

"What? Oh yeah. Sorry."

The rest of the bus ride for me was either spent in silence or with wierd momments of Paulina trying to make conversation. Everytime I looked over at Ellie it seemed that her situation was pretty much like mine. Except that Dash kept trying to put his arm over her shoulders. But thankfully she shrugedhim off.

About an hour later we arrived.


a/n: Okay I promise it will get better and more dramatic in the next chappie, so sit tight! O.o
