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.

Summer was coming to a close with one last Saturday. Everyone was hitting their favorite joint while Danny Fenton was in his room, pacing around like a ping pong ball.

"OK, Fenton," Danny said to himself. "You're super cute, ghostly girlfriend is coming over soon for dinner with your ghost fighting parents."

Danny stopped pacing.

"Yeah, this is going to end in disaster."

"Dude," Tucker said on the video chat. "Relax. Phanty said she found something, right? Just have Jazz cover for her. Sam and I got ghost patrol tonight."

Danny and Tucker looked to Sam on the three-way video chat. The goth did not enjoy Danny calling Phanty super cute. Part of her was happy to help, but the other parts were conflicted about how the evening would turn out. It was true that Phanty was not a friend to the goth, but for a ghost to willingly enter the den of ghost hunters, sounded like putting gas onto an open flame. One would not know what would get burned.

"It'll be fine," Sam said between her teeth. That was hard for her to say. Danny and Phanty hadn't yet made it past a month. Wounds were still some-what fresh from both jealousy and concern. "Go have fun with your…girlfriend."

Sam and Tucker logged off as Danny heard the doorbell. The ghost boy raced to the entrance in hopes of greeting Phanty first.

Phanty had arrived in Amity Park via portal, where she was a few blocks away from the Fenton household. Phanty had to practice being human all day. Her mother, while understanding, was in cardiac arrest when she saw her little girl, and only Clockwerk would know how The Phantom would react.

Phanty had activated the amulet and started walking down the blocks. Along the way, she could hear some passerby's commenting from a glace. Some wolf whistles here and there with a cute comment from boys, the banshee passed, which Phanty would respond with a smile. She spent an hour and a half getting ready. So, the banshee had better made the right impression.

She had just arrived at the Fenton household when a particular comment snatched her attention.

"Hey, babe, where ya going? Don't you know that's where losers live?"

Phantasma turned around to glare at the boy who said that. No one would insult her boyfriend like that. She could see a boy with a red varsity sports jacket who flashed a smile her way as he walked toward her.

"How about spending time with a quarterback? You like quarterbacks?" he said with a cocky grin, much to Phanty's ire. "The name's Dash Baxter. And unlike Fentoastki, I am definitely not a loser."

Dash flexed his muscles in an attempt to woo the disguised banshee to no avail. As he was annoying her, Phantasma was quietly chanting a defense spell. She did not want to waste time dealing with the annoying boy. With an immediate effect, Dash found some different company as a swarm of cats appeared and surrounded the jock. They hissed and meow creepily as they gestured their talons with scratched. They seemed eager to sharpen their claws, and Dash seemed like the purrfect candidate.

Lots of tense muscles shivered in fear as the felines crept up in front and crawled from behind.

"Meerrooooow."

Dash could hear the cats as they drew out a long meow. They were ready for a hunt….for a scratching post.

"This is why I'm a dog person!" Dash screamed as he ran from the cats.

With the jock gone, Phantasma went up and rang the doorbell.

"Coming!" said a voice Phanty was all too familiar with.

Danny opened the door with a dropped jaw as he saw his girlfriend in human form. Phanty had wanted to make sure she made a good impression. She didn't go all out but dressed in a simple, and in her own terms, ghoulish manner.

She had her hair puffed out a bit with a skull clip on. For her outfit, Phanty wore her simple light blue tattered dress and high heeled white cowboy boots. She wanted to add more, but after the day of shopping, her friends all agreed simplicity is key. This is why she barely had any make-up on.

"Aren't you gonna let me in?" Phantasma asked with a giggle before she whispered in Danny's ear. "You haunting hunk."

Danny turned to the side and gestured to come in. "After you, spooky beauty."

Phanty walked inside and took in the surrounding. Well, more like scanned it. She was still nervous as she knew about the Fentons. Phanty researched them on the monster web. Jack and Maddie Fenton had something of a reputation in the monster world.

The banshee looked expecting any equipment or weapons lying on the floors, halls, and walls. But the ghost girl found nothing but regular human furnishing. As Phantasma looked around, she tried to do a 360-degree head turn but stopped short at 180.

Danny noticed Phanty was now rubbing her neck.

"You OK?" Danny whispered in her ear. "Does the amulet work?"

"A little too well," Phanty said as she rubbed her neck. "The amulet seems to work, but it doesn't just disguise me. I think it shorts out the ghost in me."

"What?" Danny almost yelled but managed to control his voice. "How?"

"I don't know. I got it from this new stand at the mall. And it works obviously," Phanty gestured to the room as no alarms went off. "But, I can't do anything ghostly."

"I know how you feel," Danny said. He grabbed Phantasma's hand as she relaxed for a moment and laid her head onto him. They gazed into one another as they leaned in for a chaste kiss. Which was interrupted by the flash of a camera?

"See Maddie," Jack said to his wife from the stairs. "I told you our son has Fenton genes."

"Well…he has hormones of one," Maddie commented as she held the camera.

"Yes, the hormones of Fenton DNA!"

Danny and Phanty now had faces flushed with red. Danny wished he could get the photo, but figured that his parents had the camera ghost proof.

"So, you're Phanty," Maddie and her husband walked over to her son's girlfriend. "We've heard so little about you. It's nice to finally meet you. I'm Maddie, and this is Jack."

Jack eyed the disguised ghost carefully, giving Phanty and Danny a little scare before he had her in the tightest bear hug.

"It's good to finally meet you," Jack said as he put Phantasma down. "Danny hardly ever talked about you. We thought you were a ghost for all we knew."

Phanty stifled a giggle at the Fenton patriarch's unintentional joke.

"You're not a ghost, right?" Jack asked, to be sure. "I mean, why else would Danny not talk about you around us. I talked about Maddie to my folks, and she did the same."

Maddie had forced a smile on her face. Those memories weren't the same as Jack's. Phanty was still nervous a bit and held onto Danny's arm for comfort, which gave the parents plenty of ammo for their son. Danny could only sheepishly grin while Jack and Maddie commented on how proud they are of him.

Jazz came down from the stairs, surprised as well of Phanty's disguise. Jazz was slightly on edge as well. Especially since Tucker couldn't deactivate all the security measures. Danny and Jazz attempted to disarm the equipment, but some codes were changed. For now, the older sibling just crossed her heart and greeted the ghoul.

"Hey, Phanty," Jazz said to divert attention. "How are you?"

"Jazz, right? We met once." Phanty spoke for the first time. The two girls greeted each other as Jack and Maddie glanced at Danny.

"Danny, when did Jazz meet Phanty?" Maddie asked.

"And why did Jazz get to meet her before us?" Jack thought that as parents, they should meet Phantasma first. Then again, the same thing did happen with Johnny, but at least Danny took care of him.

"Well, Phanty wanted to surprise me one day," Danny went along. He didn't want to tell the truth. Too much for the moment. "So, that's when Jazz met her."

So, he lied…kinda…but terribly. However, his parents bought it.

The Fenton family and Phantasma went to the table to talk more as dinner was not yet ready.

No one noticed the ghostly bats that hung around the ceiling or the spider ghosts that built their webs around the house.

"So Phanty, tell us about yourself. We're all ears," Maddie said with a sweet and inquisitive smile as she poured drinks for everyone.

"Well I'm thirteen years old, I go to a finishing school for gho-irls, I love music, and I even write songs," Phanty said with enthusiasm as she wrapped her arm around Danny's. "And right now, this haunting hunk is my first ever boyfriend." The last part made Danny blush a bit.

Jack and Maddie gave their son a knowing grin.

"So, what do your parents think of you dating?" Maddie asked, unaware of the land mine she almost triggered.

This question earned her a spit take from Danny and Phanty. Followed by loud coughing. Jack, Maddie, and Jazz each raised a brow at that action.

"Your parents know you're dating someone, right?" Jazz asked. Danny realized he never told his sister of The Phantom.

"Well, my mother knows," Phanty said nonchalantly. "But my father…he's against me dating…till I'm 100."

"100!" Jack spat out his drink in shock." Sheesh, I can understand 40, but that saying you can't date period! Wait, how are you sneaking this past him?"

"Oh, my parents are divorced," Phantasma said matter-of-factly. "I went to my mother's place the other day after our last date. Mother wouldn't tell father anything. They're on…different terms. Let's just say that."

"You never told me they were divorced," This was the first time Danny had heard of this. "How you never said anything?"

"It never came up," Phanty said with a shrug. This left a wide-eyed Fenton family. "it doesn't bother me that much nowadays. So. Don't worry." At that, Phanty sent her boyfriend a smile.

"So basically, you're dating my brother behind daddy's back?" Jazz could respect that. The teen doubted that she would need to do that for her father, but teenage rebellion can be respected amongst peers.

"Just be careful the guy doesn't follow you," Jack said sternly. "I once thought I would end up doing the same, but then I realized all that stalking could be used on ghosts."

Phanty winced for a moment at Jack's last words. Danny held onto her hand tightly for support. This was probably where things would get dicey. Or at least fell like it.

"Well, besides Danny, the dating service must have other boys," Maddie changed the subject. She doubted that any girl Danny brought would want to hear Jack blather on about ghosts.

"Oh, I quit after the first date. My father found out, so I had to leave for the boy's safety. He doesn't take it well if I even go where boys go. I have to tell him I'm hanging out with my gal pals when I go to the…mall. Otherwise, he won't let me go alone." Phanty had to pause for that last word. Humans didn't have anything they called "gorias."

Jack and Maddie were shocked. They wondered what kind of father would act like that. That was far from overprotection.

"But it doesn't matter," Phanty said with enthusiasm as she gestured to Danny. "because first times the charm. I got this haunting hunk. Lock, stock, and barrel."

Phantasma stifled her laughter. She didn't know if her cackle could set off any alarms. And she could get louder than any banshee. Many denizens of the Ghost Zone knew that.

"And best of all," Jack exclaimed. "You got it all on the Fenton name. There's no better name."

Danny slapped his face as Maddie chuckled, and Jazz partially went into hiding. Phantasma didn't get what Jack meant before Danny explained.

"Dad will the Fenton name on any of his inventions…or his face on anything," Danny leaned into Phanty's ear. "He's even put his face on toilet paper before."

Phanty made a slightly disgusted expression at that. The ghoul wondered why the man would do such a thing. But before she could ask, smoke came from the oven.

"The Ham!" Jack shouted as he ran to save it with Maddie following shortly. With the hunter's back turned, Phanty let out a sigh as Danny and Jazz gave her a smile. The banshee could party with monsters and socialize with witches, but being around ghost hunter was a whole kind of exhausting.

From above, the ghost bats became invisible and flew towards the teens. They were so small; Danny's ghost sense couldn't detect them. Silently, the tiny menaces went straight towards Phantasma and, with a whack of a wing, hit the amulet on the choker.

With a glow, Phanty went back to her usual ghostly shade of blue as Danny's ghost sense went off.

Phanty almost yelped and alerted the Fenton parents had Danny not covered her mouth.

"What happened?!" the ghost boy quietly asked with an alarmed tone. "I thought the disguise would work."

Within seconds, the remaining sensors went off, silently. Tucker managed to disable all but the silent alarms. Red lights were flashing as Jack and Maddie went to the cupboard for ghost weapons.

"Ghosts!"

With no time to spare, Phantasma tapped the amulet again as she regained her human disguise. Jack and Maddie had just turned around, armed and ready, to see everyone at the table with wide, nervous grins and sweaty foreheads.

The alarms went off soon, as Phanty's ecto-signature could no longer be detected. The Fenton parents looked up in confusion. Their systems would not normally act up like that, but every programmer and scientist knows that everything needs tinkering now and then.

"Honey, when was the last time we checked the Fenton silent ghost alarms?" Maddie asked.

"I guess it's that time again." That was all the man could say. They looked to the kids, who had managed to calm down.

"Aw you kids," Jack said. "You don't need to worry about anything. Not with us around. Now, go talk about what the hippest…thing is right now."

Jack turned back to the oven to examine the ham. Maddie wanted to add one thing before she went back to help.

"And Danny…remember to keep your hands above the table."

The Fenton matriarch wanted no funny business, not knowing that she had the wrong idea. The ghost bats went back to the ceiling as they joined up with the phantom spiders, grinning with excitement. Tonight would be a blast…for them.

"You OK?" Danny asked with every once of concern. Things were starting to seem grim. All Phanty could do was give a firm nod. She wasn't going to let anything stop her. Even though she had some significant anxieties right now.

"Now, who's ready for Ham!?" Jack presented the dish with manic enthusiasm as Maddie gave him a stern look. "With a salad made with the freshest ingredients and a side of wholesome grilled asparagus and boiled broccoli?"

And Phanty's anxieties went up three notches as the night was still young.

And we stop here. Hope Phanty brought some anti-anti-ghost ray sunblock. Because things might heat up. Next time, we get into more of the night and the menu. Will our couple survive? Of course, they will. That is a forgone conclusion, but it is always the journey and not the destination. So, have a great day and make the most of it. Sayonara.

Luiz4200: And how will the chaos unfold?

danifan3000: For this event, the Fentons made sure to cook appropriately for a good impression, unaware of Phantasma's real nature.

61394: Well, who's to say about the choker and amulet? Let's see how it fares out.

Major Simi: Thanks.

Chester A Bum: Yeah, jealousy is the negative trait in the spotlight right now. We'll have more time to show the rest, but this part is about Danny and Phantasma's relationship. So, Sam won't be in the story for a while. As for updates, there are more coming. So no worries.

Dreams Come True 996: Things will always be strange with the supernatural. But Danny was too worried about his parents to think about dinner. I looked up that episode you were thinking about, and I have ideas about that. But all will be revealed in time.
