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.

In his words, Tucker had been Danny's best friend since forever. They shared many experiences, including going on a dating service and both leaving with a match. Though they both had problems, different as they were. However, when Tucker left to meet Danny at his house, he remembered a problem the ghost boy was unaware of.

"Tucker! Hey!" greeted a happy Sam on the streets.

It took a while, but Tucker now realized Sam had been traveling abroad in Europe for the past month.

"Tucker, you ok? I know it's was supposed to be a surprise, but I'm back. Where's Danny? You heading over to meet him?"

Tucker panicked. He did not want to tell Sam Danny was seeing someone.

"Yeah," Tucker finally spoke, "We were gonna catch a movie."

"Great, let's go get Danny. Will he be surprised." Sam said as they walked down the street.

"Oh, he'll be surprised," Tucker said before he mumbled to himself. "And so will you."

Sam and Tucker walked over to the Fenton house as the goth told about her trip to Europe.

"It was good, I guess, but I couldn't get my folks to make a stop in Iceland. I hear they have this town run by goths." Sam was overjoyed to be back home, she even would have hugged Tucker back when she greeted him.

"Really?" Tucker was shocked at her appearance but more so at her happiness.

She really must have missed us. The technogeek thought.

When they arrived, Sam rang the doorbell while Tucker paused and stood back for some distance. Danny opened the door to have Sam greeting him with a hug.

And she is going to be really mad once she finds out. Tucked internally winced at the gesture.

"Sam," Danny said, "you're back. And happy since you're hugging me."

Sam let go of her friend with a blush on her face. Danny closed the door as the trio now left for the theater. From inside, Jazz Fenton saw the reunion from her room and went downstairs for something to drink. She saw her parents working on another ghost hunting device, or weapon. She couldn't tell.

"Sam's back." Jazz remarked as she went back upstairs after grabbing her beverage. Jack and Maddie stopped what they were doing and looked to another.

"How long before she finds out?" Jack asked.

"I give it about twenty minutes."

Like Tucker, Danny was surprised to see Sam happy. She was actually smiling.

"So, how have you two been?" Sam asked. "Must've been boring since Tucker said there were barely any ghost attacks."

"You wouldn't believe what happened while you were gone," Danny responded. Sam was intrigued while Tucker mentally braced himself. "Tuck here found someone. A girlfriend"

Sam took a good look at her friend before she snickered then laughed.

"Hey," Tuckered said offended. "Is it so hard to believe I can't find someone?"

"Sorry, Tuck," Sam calmed, "I'm glad to hear someone shares your…unique perspective."

"Yeah, signed up for this dating service. Find your match or your money back." Danny said.

"Tell me more," Sam said with a wicked grin. She was going to get so much mileage out of it.

"It wasn't that bad. Tuck here had me take it as well," Danny said before he paused. At that moment, whatever train of thought Sam was on derailed itself. The goth looked to the technogeek with daggers in her eyes. Tucker just grinned sheepishly, and he broke any eye contact.

"I liked it really, the girls were great, well except for two." Sam now turned to Danny while she tried to hold a polite smile. Mentally, the goth was screaming so loud the world could have heard it if she let it out. "But in the end, I could only choose one, and now I'm seeing this girl. We're not dating, but I really like her. It's all thanks to Tucker here. I really should thank you for that."

"No, you don't have to." Tucker kept facing forward, he ignored the now harder stare from the goth. Tucker knew this wasn't going to end well.

"How lovely," Sam said with a twitch in her eye. "So…when can I-we meet her?"

At her question, Danny and Tucker fell silent. Danny tried to say something, but all he could say were half words and some gibberish. Tucker pointed to Danny when Sam looked to him. Any anger she had was replaced with confusion. Danny glanced at Tucker, who gestured back 'this-is-all-you-dude.'

"Guys?" Sam asked.

"Her name's Phanty. I'll tell you later." Danny said as he walked past Sam. With a glare, she sent Tucker running after Danny, fearing for his life.

"Dude, say something. You know how Sam is," Tucker whispered to Danny.

"I know," replied the ghost boy, "and I know how Sam gets around new people, but this is different."

Tucker facepalmed himself and thought to himself. How can Danny still be so clueless?

One would think after all the dates, Danny would finally pick up on the signs that girl was into him, particularly ones a certain raven-haired, gothic, childhood friend had sometimes given. Was it so hard to put two and two together this time?

"Phanty's not just someone."

Maybe there was hope.

"She's a ghostly someone," Danny whispered. "You know how she'll react when she finds out I'm not-yet-dating a ghost?"

Then again, hope was probably on vacation too. Tucker now had both hands on his face as the three arrived at the theater. Danny, Tucker, and Sam had paid for their tickets and headed inside for some snacks when Danny's ghost sense went off.

"Oh great," Danny snarked as he looked around for anything unusual. "I can't even get a daybreak."

The vendor at the concession stand minded their own business when Skulker's face came out of the popcorn with a loud scream. Everyone panicked and screamed as the ghost eyed Danny before he phased into the ceiling. Danny scanned the area and found a standee to transform behind as Tucker and Sam cover for him, just in case.

Danny Phantom came from behind and flew past the ceiling and walls. Tucker decided to save a seat for Danny but froze in fear when Sam reached around and grabbed him by the collar.

"So a dating service…" She was still mad, with a raised fist.

"Sam, wait! You were gone, and we needed something to do—"

Danny searched for Skulker in the air.

"Sheesh, Skulker. I knew you were a lousy hunter, but you're terrible at sneaking into movies."

A blast hit the ghost boy in the back. When he turned around, another came from the side and missiles from above. Danny was knocked down when he saw Skulker hovering above with a grin.

"If I'm such a lousy hunter, then how did you fall for my trap, whelp?"

Danny looked around, saw drones with blasters that hovered silently.

"Like them? I thought to myself, what better way to catch prey than with deadlier traps."

Danny tried to fly up to Skulker, but a drone fired an ectoblast and knocked him back. Skulker menacingly laughed as he flew in with a barrage of missiles, blasts, and blades. Danny dodged and phased through everything thrown at him, but the drone had cut off his paths of flight. This narrowed down where he flew. And it was getting smaller with each blast.

Luckily a ray from below knocked a drone down as another powered down. Skulker looked down to see Sam and Tucker on the roof to help Danny. In response, the hunter aimed and fired missiles towards them. The drones aimed their sights and fired at Sam and Tucker as well, which gave Danny an opening. Sam and Tucker dodged the attacks and aimed again at Skulker. Danny fired an ectoblast at the hunter to give his friends cover.

Skulker directed his attacks to Danny and the drones did the same. That's when Danny noticed a pair of goggles on Skulker. At full speed, Danny flew over to Skulker with blasts of his own ecto energy. He managed to destroy a couple of drones before the hunter focused back to him.

"Nice glasses, Skulker. This is probably why you're a lousy hunter. Poor eyesight," Danny quipped.

"You like?" Skulker taunted, "These aim the drones to wherever I look. And right now, I'm looking at the new pelt for my bed."

Danny shuddered in fear. He wasn't going down without a fight. But the attacks were still numerous, despite the loss of a few drones, and he barely had any room to improvise. Sam and Tucker helped when they could. But Tucker couldn't hack Skulker's upgraded system and dodge anything thrown at them simultaneously. Things were looking grim until a pair of ghostly blue hands covered his eyes.

"What's going on?" Skulker shouted. The hunter tried to reach around, but whatever covered his eyes was too small for him. It was right in the center of his back. But that was the least of his worries as blue energy encompassed the goggles and destroyed them. With the aiming equipment gone, the drones stopped attacking, which gave Danny Phantom plenty of time to pick them off. That not he wanted to, considering who helped him.

The hunter went intangible, phased through the hand, and turned to see Phantasma with a sour expression, something that he returned with anger and annoyance.

"What do you think you're doing?" Skulker asked, floating over to the banshee. "You want to be stuffed and mounted?"

Phanty was a little shaken but was not afraid of the ghost hunter. Skulker got right in her face with a snarling grin. Phanty gulped loudly before she looked up and noticed something that made her smile. Confused, the hunter glanced over his shoulder to see Danny Phantom right behind him, with his hand charged with frozen energy.

"This is going to hurt," Skulker deadpanned.

Danny fired a beam of ice and froze Skulker solid then delivered a kick to send him crashing. The hunter looked down and saw Sam and Tucker armed with blaster aimed at him.

"And I put the better half of last month into this plan."

The two fired and shattered the ghost hunter's suit into pieces. Danny picked up Skulker's real body, to which Phanty giggled at, and sucked him into the Fenton Thermos. Closing the lid, he put the thermos away and noticed his friends staring at Phantasma. Sam readied her blaster but saw Danny stood in front of her. The goth was confused at his action. Tucker was slightly shocked as well but then realized who the banshee was.

"You're kidding me," Tucker said. He pointed to Phanty and Danny nodded in response.

The ghost boy floated over to his not-yet girlfriend, Phanty, who gave Danny a sad, concerned face.

"I-I know it was dangerous," Phanty was too embarrassed to look at Danny, "but I wanted to see you. So I snuck out and saw you weren't at home. So when I looked everywhere, I saw the fight and—"

Phantasma was cut off by a hug from Danny, who then gave her a kiss on the cheek. The gesture made the banshee swoon and sigh before she cackled and hugged back. Sam turned white at the sign of affection, unable to comprehend what she saw. Tucker walked up to the two and took a good look at Phantasma.

"So, you're Phanty?" Tucker asked

"Wait! Phanty?" Sam exclaimed, "You're Phanty? The girl Danny met on the dating site?"

Phantasma struck a pose before saying. "Yep. I'm the new ghoul in town."

"I'll admit, she's cute," Tucker turned to Danny to whisper." But how can you stand that laugh?"

A choking sound drew everyone's attention to Sam. The girl had all she could take and couldn't take anymore. Her eyes went blank as she collapsed. The sound of sirens could be heard in the distance, and since this was a paranormal incident, the Guys in White would likely show up, among other ghost hunters.

We'll take Sam to my house," Danny said as he noticed the panic. "My parents should be here any minute, so the house should be empty."

The Fenton household was almost empty save for Jazz Fenton, who was enjoying the peace and quiet, not to mention the lack of any equipment exploding with goo. She had finally gotten comfortable after making plans with Antonio and just sat down when Danny, Phanty, Tucker, and an unconscious Sam phased through the roof. Jazz grabbed a weapon from behind the couch and aimed.

"Jazz put that down. everything's good," Danny said as he gestured with his hand before taking Sam upstairs with Phantasma and Tucker. But before he disappeared completely, he said. "By the way, this is Phanty."

Phantasma waved at Jazz, who waved slowly back, trying to process the banshee. Jazz wanted answers now and followed upstairs.

In Danny's room, Sam was lying on the bed, still out of it. Tucker and Jazz were by the door, and a depowered Danny sat at his desk. Phanty hovered above the ghost boy; she glanced at everyone in the room.

"Soooo, during the dating service, you went on a date with Phanty, who you've chosen as your match and she's a ghost," Jazz looked to everyone awake in the room. "Am I the only not up to speed here?"

"I think Sam isn't," Phantasma noted, "I wonder what that ghost did to make her lie dead like that?"

Tucker and jazz shook their heads. Apparently, Phanty didn't realize she was at fault.

"I may have forgotten to tell her about you," responded Danny, "She got back today."

Jazz went over to the banshee. She observed the ghoul as if she had never seen a ghost before, which said a lot considering her past experiences and family hobbies. She pinched Phantasma's shoulder, only for her finger to go through her. Jazz then poked a finger through, but Phanty flew behind Danny with an angry look on her face.

"Hey! Watch the hands!" Phanty looked offended. Jazz apologized immediately.

"So you're Phanty. I'm Tucker. Tucker Foley," Tucker introduced himself, he figured he should make a good impression.

Phantasma floated over to him, her head tilted to the side. "Tucker? Like Tuck?"

Tucker nodded.

"Then you're TooFineTuck! I read about you on the forum." Phanty with a frown as she returned to Danny. "Don't think you can fool me."

"Oh, come on! I learned my lesson! Haven't I been through enough?" Tucker screamed to no one.

Jazz walked over to the bed and took a seat. She was careful not to sit on Sam.

"So, you're dating a ghost...little brother, this can't be easy. Mom and Dad don't know about your powers. How do you think they're going to react to your girlfriend?"

Phanty and Danny blushed at the word "girlfriend." They both tried and failed to say they weren't at that stage yet and that there were still some problems and difficulties. The ghost boy and banshee locked eyes for a moment before they turned away, blushing. They were shy.

"Wait, you two still haven't decided to date officially?" Tucker asked in surprise. "You're kidding me. Velma's across the country, but we're dating. We video chat when we get the chance. Heck, we made it official on social media."

"I have to agree with Tucker on this. He actually has decent advice about dating for once." Jazz commented.

"Thanks…hey!"

Danny and Phantasma tried to say something but were cut off by Jazz again.

"Look, this girl stood up to Skulker for you. She helped you. If that doesn't say you're ready, then you really are clueless."

Danny took offense to that comment. He also wondered why people kept calling him clueless. However, Phantasma's hand in his got Danny's attention. The two looked each other in the eyes.

"She's right." It took every bit of ectoplasmic courage that made up her being to say that. Danny wanted to argue, but there was no case. She helped him, saved him, from Skulker. And he returned the gesture with a hug and kiss. That was not something a not-yet girlfriend would do.

"So...next time want to see the town?" Danny asked. Phantasma cackled loudly in joy at his question as Tucker and Jazz covered their ears. Jazz was glad her parents didn't set any alarms.

"This…is going to take some getting used to." Jazz said as Tucker nodded.

"What is?" Sam groaned as she woke up from Phanty's laugh. She rubbed her eyes and saw that she was in Danny's room with Tucker, Jazz, Danny, and Phantasma. The ghost girl was hugging Danny with the biggest grin on her face, and Tucker and Jazz backed away for the inevitable fireworks.

"Wait…it's coming back. You're…Phanty…and," Sam's eyes widen in realization, "You're the girl Danny chose?!"

"And now it's official. Me and this haunting hunk are dating."

Right then and there, Phanty planted a kiss on Danny's face.

And that was the last straw for Sam today. The goth girl got up and walked to the door. Danny tried to see if she was alright, but Sam sent a hurtful glare.

"Sam, listen—"

She put her hand in front of Danny's face to cut him off. Tucker and Jazz parted ways, so she could leave. Sam had to cool down. But before she left, Danny heard her say one thing.

"You're making a mistake."

She was gone the next second. Danny wanted to follow her, but Phanty held him back. She told him that Sam needed a dead zone or time to herself in human terms. Jazz and Tucker left the room. They thought it was best to give them some privacy as well. At least until Jack and Maddie returned and Phanty had to go. Danny turned to Phanty, who was still hugging him. He separated from her and took a seat on the bed, as Phantasma followed.

"Today had a lot of changes." Danny was now exhausted, both physically and mentally. "I guess this is life."

"Can't say the same for me. I'm dead." Phanty laughed a little in an attempt to chewer Danny up. When the joke didn't work, she rested her head on his shoulder. "But I'm here. A right now, I'm here for you." Danny smiled. But before he could say anything, he heard the front door open along with the voices of his parents as they declared their arrival.

"Guess that's my cue to go," Phanty said as she grabbed her necklace. Danny grabbed her hand before she summoned a portal.

"Before you go. I have a present for you."

Phanty turned towards her now-boyfriend. Danny transformed and held on to her as he gave her a kiss on the lips. It was chaste and only a couple seconds long, but it was enough. If teenage hormones go crazy at moments like this, then Phantasma was going into overdrive. Danny made sure to hold herself together until she got back to the Zone. So she opened a portal, waved goodbye, and went through.

"See you later, haunting hunk." Phantasma said as she left. The portal closed, leaving Danny in his room as he turned back to human.

I should think of something to call her. Danny thought.

Meanwhile, Skulker was in the lab of Vlad Plasmius, after reassembling his suit.

"I nearly had the whelp, but this banshee got in the way. He's getting help from someone."

"Well then," Vlad said, "Let's find out what the little badgers been up to."

And now Danny and Phanty are dating, well acknowledging that they are. But now Vlad may be onto them.

What will this mean for our now-couple? Stay tuned.

I would like to thank Flower Princess11 for helping me with this chapter and Luiz4200 for the suggestion about Phanty knowing Tucker through his profile.

Have a great day everyone.
