Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School. I do not own the original story this is based on.

When Phanty told Danny some ghosts really scare up the night, he realized how right she had been the whole time. For some reason, now that the dating service was over, ghost attacks were back to normal. And right now, Danny was in pursuit of a somewhat elusive ghost.

The chase went on for a few minutes when Danny had the idea of cutting it off ahead. Phasing through the buildings, the ghost boy came face to face with this evening's foe, a giant, gruesome bat with a leech-like appearance and a large mouth with even more prominent fangs.

"I'm guessing you're one of the ghosts that likes to go batty in the night, huh?" Danny quipped, only for the ghost to respond with a sonic blast that knocked Danny back.

"And you're a screamer," Danny groaned, "Great."

Danny flew around the ghost and fired ecto blasts to ground the spirit. However, the bat went intangible, went through the ground, and came back from below in an attempt to bite back.

"Whoa!" Danny exclaimed as he dodged. "Ok, this one's a little too batty, knows how to fight, and I'm gonna need a better plan."

Danny Phantom frantically flew around the ghost's attacks as he thought of something. Then he remembered how bats see.

"Can't use the ghostly wail, someone could get hurt so…"

Danny flew at top speed into the ghost bat's face, before he produced a ball of ecto-energy and powered it up to the point it was shining. Like some bats, the ghost couldn't stand the bright light and covered its eyes as Danny punch it will full force. Having knocked it out, the ghost boy brought out his thermos and sucked the ghost into the container.

"It worked. Finally," Danny said, exhausted from the fight. He thought now was a good time to rest before heading home until a blue wisp came out of his mouth from another ghost's presence. "Great, now what?"

Danny looked around to see a familiar figure, one he doesn't fight with regularly.

"Kitty? What are you doing here? Where's Johnny? And why are you just floating there?"

Kitty didn't answer his question but gestured Danny to follow her. The two arrived on the rooftop of a building. There Kitty turned around and grabbed Danny by the collar.

"What do you think you're doing?" She shook the ghost boy back and forth, "Are you looking to go all ghost?

"What are you talking about?" Danny said as he released himself from her grasp and put some distance between them. Kitty put her hand to her head before she calmed down. She floated over to Danny, who was ready for a fight. The ghost boy was surprised when Kitty put her hands up.

"I'm not here to fight," she said, "but what are you doing dating The Phantom's daughter?! I saw you two at The Rolling Tombstone. Last I checked, he's stronger and has a grudge with you."

"Because I like Phanty. I REALLY like her and—," Danny blinked for a moment when he realized something. "Wait, when do you care? When Phanty's dad went ask nothing and attack at the restaraunt, you, Johnny, and everyone else didn't do anything."

"Hey, he wasn't attacking any of us."

"And my point again, why do you care?"

"When a boy does something stupid twice, it's for a girl. It's the same vice versa," Kitty folded her arm and turned away. "Trust me…I know. I'll admit we're not friends, but not enemies. You're a good kid, why are you risking your life?"

"The same reason I'm risking half my life fighting ghost," Danny pointed away from himself. "Now leave my love life alone."

Kitty shrugged and flew off in another direction. Another blue wisp came out of Danny's mouth, and the screams of citizens could be heard as loud laughter could be heard further away.

"Great," Danny deadpans, "This is going to be one of 'those' nights."

Danny arrived home a little after ten o'clock, his curfew. His parents were miffed. After a sentence or two, Danny crashed onto the couch in the living room. His mother then came into the living room.

"By the way, Danny, when are we going to meet this Phanty girl you're dating?"

Danny's eyes widened in shock. It's been a few days since their last date. Danny didn't say anything to them, but Phantasma had sent a letter to him, which they found. Since then, they asked about her sometimes at dinner. Danny didn't want them to find out yet. To tell them about his ghostly not-yet-girlfriend meant he needed to talk to them about his powers. And that would be too much for them to take at once. He had to play this close to the vest.

"Mom," Danny started with the usual excuse, "I get you're being my mom, but—"

"You'll introduce us to Phanty when you're ready," Mrs. Fenton finished her son's sentence. It was now apparent Danny needed to make more excuses. She took a seat by her son. "I understand you're shy about introducing your girlfriend—"

"Not my girlfriend…yet." Danny threw in his two bits.

"But it's perfectly normal to be shy. I was the same when I met your father's parents—"

"How about when you introduced him to your parents?"

An explosion went off in the lab as some alarms could be heard down below.

"I'm ok!" Jack Fenton shouted.

Danny sent his mother a smirk before he turned to face the back of the couch. Maddie knew when her son had a point.

"Danny," she had one last thing to say, "when you're ready to tell us about her, we'll be ready."

Maddie smiled at her son, who went up-stairs to read it alone. Jack came up to the living room, he was covered in ectoplasmic goo with scratches and some tears in his suit. He noticed Danny had gone up.

"Talk to him about his mysterious girlfriend again?"

Maddie nodded.

"I hope we get to meet her soon. Danny barely tells us about her, it's like she's a ghost."

Danny opened the door to his room and sat on the chair by his desk. He logged onto his computer and opened the internet and his email. Danny saw he got a new email from Phanty. The subject was filled with patchwork hearts emojis.

To my Haunting Hunk,

I heard you had a rough night. I checked the Monsternet, and rumors are that ghost stopped attacking because of events here and there. I hope to see you again soon. My dad heard me talking about seeing you, but I got him off course. One day, we'll scare up the night from sunset to rise with his approval.

The ghoul of your dreams,

Phantasma

Danny smiled. He really wishes they could go out like normal teenagers, or as usual in human dating. Like Danny said before, he really liked Phantasma, enough to date her, despite her overprotective father. Luckily, Danny had the rest of the summer to work things out. Provided her dad won't find out. Danny's mind wondered back to their last date.

Flashback

"Whoa, this place is nuts!" Danny had never entered a dance club, let alone one in the Ghost Zone.

"I thought maybe we could 'lift our spirits' here," Phanty cackled at her pun, as she flew into the air. Something Danny enjoyed as he joined her.

It may have been the music or something about being in the Ghost Zone, but found Phanty to be enchanting as she flew in rhythm to the beat.

The buzz of his cell phone snapped the ghost boy out of his daydream. Danny looked to see it was Tucker. They didn't get to hang out much today.

"Hey dude," Tucker greeted, "Heard about a bat ghost that gave you trouble."

"That's nothing after that, Technus was busting a rave."

"Busting a rave or busting a move?"

"I think both. I couldn't tell what people were screaming from. Either way, he was 'using the teen social network to hypnotize and conquer the world through technological enslavement' or something like that."

"Seriously?! Wait, I thought he stopped shouting his plans."

"I think he downgraded when he 'upgraded', still, it was rough. I finally got him out of everyone's phone, but I think Technus should stay away from dancing. But hey all in a day's work for Danny Phantom. At least until the next ghost."

"Bummer. But you did well. Glad you're here. Sorry I couldn't help. I got caught up in "

"Thanks."

"Weird there were barely any ghost attacks over the last month."

"Actually, Phanty emailed me. Apparently, there were fewer ghost attacks because everyone had something going on. But enough about me, how was your day?"

Tucker went on to say how there wasn't much going on today. He picked Velma as his match, but she went with her friends on a cross-country mystery trip. Tucker was not going to see her for a while. Danny and Tucker decided to make plans tomorrow for a movie.

Tired, Danny decided to head to bed. But as he changed into his pajamas, he couldn't help feel like he forgot something. Something important. However, before he could dwell on that thought, his ghost sense went off again. Danny had stopped counting after Technus, so he didn't know what number this ghost was.

Later

It was past midnight in Amity Park. Doors are kicked open as someone stepped into her home after more than thirty days away. Ignoring her parents, she walked straight to her room and collapsed on her bed. She was too tired to call her friends, so Sam Manson decided to surprise her friends tomorrow.

It'll be a pleasant surprise. After all, how much can Danny and Tucker change after one month? Sam thought to herself. Not knowing that she would be surprised as well.

Short but Sweet. Have a good night everyone.

Note: Danny was referring to when he and Phanty went to Nightshade's the first time in the original story, when he was talking to Kitty.
