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 the depths of the Ghost Zone, young Phantasma was training with her mother. After the Chimera incident, not to mention her run-in with Master's Blasters, who may want revenge, they felt that it would be best to prepare.
She was training her primary powers. Which meant invisibility, intangibility, and, most important of all, ecto-energy manipulation. This meant firing beams and projecting shields. There would also be a punching bag to hit later, but it was deemed necessary to leave that for last.
"Very good, Phantasma," Lady Christine said proudly as her daughter began firing ecto-beams in more rapid succession than before.
Phanty smiled, wiping the sweat off her forehead. It was time to take a break.
Lady Christine guided her daughter to the living room as she went to get some tea and snacks. Leaving Phanty's mind to ponder while slouching on an armchair, with though on her boyfriend.
That is nothing new, but the banshee thought about what Spectra wanted. The ghost girl would most likely want to talk to the ghost boy alone, which made Phanty angry.
In her mind, Phantasma imagined how Spectra would swoon all over Danny and most likely trick him into dating her.
If the banshee had any blood right now, it was probably evaporating from the boil.
"He probably with that haunting hussy right now!" Phantasma yelled as she slammed her fist on the table.
"Phantasma!" Lady Christine exclaimed as she came back with a tray of treats.
Phanty sulked in her chair, as her mother only called her by name like that when she was in trouble.
"Young lady, we do not talk about other people like that!"
"But mother! She's trying to steal my haunting hunk!"
"Doesn't matter," Christine chastised. "I did not raise you to act in such a manner!"
Phanty, on the other hand, is still pouting like a child. She didn't care about getting in trouble, though that was a big maybe if her mother was involved. All she wanted to do was go to Monster High and tell the shy ghost girl off for steeping boundaries.
"But I can feel it, mother! That haunting—"
"Language!" the mother banshee scolded her daughter, who slouched in her chair.
Lady Christine sighed as she pinched the brim of her nose in exasperation.
She loves her Phanty very much, but she can be very stubborn and immovable about these subjects.
At times like these, she acts like her father, as in the hot-blooded, raging ghost he can be.
"Darling, I sensed Danny's intentions, and you know him so well, so I am sure that he will not act unfaithful," Christine said to her daughter.
"I know, mother. I trust Danny but Spectra is such a—"
She stopped when she saw the glare her mother sent her.
"I...what I mean is, she likes Danny too, and she is probably going to try and make a move on him," Phanty said in a paranoid sort of way.
"As they say, all's fair in love and war, but do you think Danny would leave you like that?"
"W-Well, no," Phanty said, though her mother sensed the uncertainty in her tone.
"Phantasma, you have to learn to have faith, or you are just going to have even more problems down the road," Lady Christine said, recalling her own marriage and how it ended due to jealousy and trust issues.
"Well, I trust Danny, but that hussy—"
"Phantasma, enough!" the mother yelled.
"M-Mother," Phanty squeaked out.
She can't help it. Her mother can be really scary when she yelled.
"Look at how you are acting!Jealousy, hot-blooded, and breaking things. Do you want to be like your father!?" Lady Christine snapped. Her voice rose enough to shake the room.
The young banshee sat up straight in a heartbeat. The ghoul could feel her ectoplasm shrink and course slowly as she contemplated the question. For though she loved her father, The Phantom was not the best with relationships, evident by the fight they had a while back.
The thought of being like that with Danny made Phantasma sees her inner father. A lone bitter ghost who would only yell up the Ghost Zone for every slight against him.
She liked him a lot and wanted to make the relationship work. It was already hard enough now that her father knew. She hadn't seen him since the fight.
But there were lines he drew that were too short. The banshee wanted to live her afterlife. Not stay indoor all day.
Swallowing her rage, Phanty deciding she would focus more on training, but the banshees knew this conversation wasn't over. It was just saved for another day.
Days passed, and soon it was Valentine's Day, where everyone was awaiting treats and sweets from that person they liked. Or in the case of most single boys in Casper High, Paulina.
Danny, however, was preoccupied with his girlfriend. Phantasma.
He was very excited since this is the first time he will be spending Valentine's Day with a girlfriend.
He also got her a special little something for the big day.
I really hope she likes it. Danny thought as he retrieved items from his locker.
He couldn't wait to see the look on Phanty's face when she gets her present this afternoon.
"Aaaaaah!"
But thoughts would have to wait as Danny saw his friend Sam run screaming down the halls and into a random locker.
Everyone glanced at the ghost boy as he sheepishly walked to his friend's container.
"Uh, Sam? I know you don't like Valentine's Day, but what gives?"
But thoughts would have to wait as Danny saw his friend Sam run screaming down the halls and into a random locker.
Everyone glanced at the ghost boy as he sheepishly walked to his friend's container.
"Uh, Sam? I know you don't like Valentine's Day, but what gives?"
"I just saw the most horrifying thing ever! It's like every single monster got together, ripped off a piece of them, and sewed it into one ugly, disgusting mess!" Sam said in a shaky voice, refusing to come out.
"What? " Danny asked, wondering could have spooked her like this.
The ghost boy walked down the hallways and gasped at what he saw.
Paulina in a spooky ensemble.
The popular girl had dressed in all black with shades of purple and green. Her top had a spider web collar that accentuated her shoulders and chest while her jet black jeans had skulls decorating the trim.
Along with the popular girl's new clothes, she had dark blue eyeliner with a wild hairdo similar to Einstein and some green highlights.
Danny was surprised, while the A-listers were stunned by Paulina's new look.
"Uhhh, Paulina," Dash said, walking up to her. "I know you're like Danny Phantom's biggest fan, but why are you dressed like that?"
"To show the ghost boy that I am better than his cruddy ghost girlfriend," Paulina said before raising her voice. "Now, where is that Suzy Nobody!? I know this is her look, and I need pointers."
"But we've heard nothing about him dating anyone," Star replied as she checked the lasted bits on every social media platform on her phone. She even put the device in front of the popular Latin girl's face, prompting the now goth girl to swat the phone away.
"I saw him the other day with a lousy ghost girl with stupid hair! If this is what he wants, then I'm gonna give it to him," Paulina said as she stood up straight with an odd sense of pride. Soon she hunched a bit as the girl walked down the hallway, talking in sing-song. "Now Suzy Nobody, where are you?"
Danny rolled his eyes at that, as did the other students. They honestly couldn't believe they were seeing the popular girl in goth gear. The ghost boy felt sorry for Sam and figured to leave things best alone.
Sure, Phanty is beautiful and spooky, but he likes her for way more than her looks. He was making a real connection with her, and he didn't want to give that up.
Even if her father knows about them dating and wants to kill him probably, at every chance, he will get. Probably.
After school, Danny went through the portal and arrived at Lady Christine's realm to see Phanty.
"Hey, Phanty," Danny greeted as he held the wilted flowers in his hand.
"Danny!" Phanty said happily before giving him a quick kiss.
Danny smiled after they pulled away.
"How was practice?" Danny asked, handing the bouquet to the banshee.
"Tough but fair, just like mother," Phanty giggled as she wrapped her arms around her boyfriend.
"I got you something," Danny said as he pulled out the gift, causing the delightful gasp from the ghoul.
"Happy Valentine's day, Phanty," Danny said.
In no time, Phantasma grabbed hold of the box tore the gift open, destroying the object in the process. Meanwhile, the Box Ghost felt a disturbance from the death of a cardboard box.
Soon, Phanty opened her gift and saw it was a simple bracelet that had skulls on it vaguely resembled her necklace.
"Oh, Danny. It's so wonderfully horrific," Phanty said in happiness.
"So, you like it?"
"I LOVE IT!" She said as she pulled him in and gave him a big kiss on the lips. Leaving her boyfriend in a hppay state of mind, Phanty went to put the bracelet on, but found the locked to be very tiny. Why did they make the locks so tiny?
"I'm glad you like it. Want help putting it on?" He asked, snapping out of his daze.
Phanty nodded and her boyfriend put it on her. The banshee took the time to admire it as it shined against the glow of the Ghost Zone.
Wait till that hussy sees this. The ghoul thought with a smile.
"So then, you ready to hit the Zone again?" Danny asked with a smile.
"Let's make it a wail of a time!" Phanty cackles as the two flew to their destination.
Flying through the doors and realms of the Ghost Zone, Danny felt a bit out of place, mainly because he mostly came because of his enemies.
It was eerily quiet as Phantasma guided the ghost boy through as she hummed a merry tune.
"So, you said you know the perfect place for our date?" Danny asked, breaking the silence.
"MmmHmm. You need to see how we ghost can celebrate Valentine's Day," the banshee cackled. "It'll be a riot."
Danny raised the brow at that.
"Exactly what do you have in mind, Phanty?" Danny asked.
"You'll see," The ghoul giggled.
Danny was soon led through a portal and into another region of uncharted Ghost Zone. This one seemed like a mall, except with all the stores intact, floating around.
"Where are we?" Danny asked as he saw many ghosts here, but thankfully, none seem to want to fight him.
"Welcome to the Lawless Seph, my haunting hunk!" Phanty said as she gestured to the prominent place. "Don't le the name fool you, there are some rules and guidelines."
"Me and my ghoul friends come here sometime and hang out at the Hot'd Bootique," Phanty said as she wiggled her eyebrows. "So, what do you think? Ya wanna?"
Danny thought about it and shrugged.
"As long as no one tries to pick a fight, I see no reason not to," Danny said, and Phanty squealed.
"Come on," Phantasma said, grabbing the ghost boy by the hand and leading him to a store that was called The Mason Orb. "You're gonna have a scream!"
Phanty was right; the date was a blast. The two had a time scoping the shops and dancing in the clubs. It was just like their second date. However, Danny had his concerns about Phanty's father. While The Phantom would be trouble, it would even more so since the ghost boy might not have back up, or more importantly, his thermos.
The halfa needed to start making emergency kits for that kind of situation.
More days had passed, and school was coming to a routine again, but today was not a typical day for Danny Fenton. Instead of hanging out with his friends or Phantasma, the ghost boy found himself at Monster High, where Spectra said she needed to talk to him.
It was curious since she told him in a dream. Heck, the morning he got up, the boy's first action was to call her to verify things. It turns out the events of last night were real, dream demon and all.
Something the boy would keep note of.
Anyway, after he got up and made a quick excuse for his parents, the ghost boy quickly changed forms and flew to his destination. New Salem.
After hours of none stop flying, Danny Phantom once again graced the halls of Monster High. Unlike last time, the ghost boy flew inside invisible to everyone.
During the call, Spectra urged Danny to come in unnoticed. So that meant no phans this time. Crazy or otherwise, mostly if they were like Torelai.
That ghoul seemed more dangerous in more than one way.
Danny made his way to the room where the Gory Gazette was published. It was where Spectra spent most of her time and the designated place for the meeting.
Inside, the boy saw not only the ghost girl but also her friends from before: Frankie, Clawdeen, Ghoulia, Cleo, and Lagoona. Though only two were busy as Draculaura was typing away on a computer as was Ghoulia. The rest were on their phones, save for Frankie, overlooking Spectra on her personal laptop.
The ghost girl was typing with fervor as she was editing the last page of the school paper.
Danny decided it was best to leave things be, and so he remained invisible.
"I'm almost done. Danny should be here any moment," Spectra said as she typed away.
Stretching her legs, Clawdeen walked over to her friend and took a look at the paper.
"Uh, Spectra? You might want to change your picture," the werewolf commented.
"Why?" Spectra asked innocently.
"Cause you're still using the picture from the date you had with him," Clawdeen replied, pointing to the screen of Danny and Spectra.
"Uhhhh," Ghoulia groaned.
Spectra blushed as she closed the laptop.
"It doesn't matter. Right now, there is something more important," the ghost girl said.
"And that's why I'm here," Danny said, revealing himself.
The ghouls jump in surprise as they noticed the ghost boy above them, waving with a smile.
"Danny!" Spectra proclaimed as she flew up and hugged him.
At first, Spectra was embarrassed but kept hugging the boy. There was no way the banshee came. She had initiated on Danny coming alone. So for now, she could enjoy the moment.
And she secretly jumped with joy when Danny returned his friend's hug. Though the ghost girl knew it to be platonic.
And that hurt, but she didn't care.
"Uh...Spectra?" Danny said, breaking the girl out of her happy place...somewhat.
"Yes, Danny?" Spectra sighed. Her friends looked at each other as they heard.
"I think this is enough for a hug," the boy chuckled.
"Oh...right," Spectra blushed.
Her friends saw it and felt sorry for her. She still had it bad for the ghost boy, but he was taken with someone she didn't like.
One could even guess it to be something out of a tragic romance novel. Except the lovers are already dead, so to speak.
"So, what seems to be the problem?..."He asked.
The ghouls huddled together, Spectra included, as they glanced back and forth to Danny.
The ghost boy wasn't sure why, but he had a feeling this may not end well.
"Uh...guys—ghouls?" The boy asked as the bell rang.
"It's time," Frankie said ominously.
"What is?" Danny asked.
Spectra floated towards the ghost boy, grabbing him by the hand and dragging him to a cabinet.
"For weeks, the Headless Headmistress had a man coming here for seminars on the human world. He talked to us about monsters and humans, but then told us of another man who would help us. After the last seminar, I searched the web and found nothing about our guest speaker," The ghostly ghoul explained as she opened a drawer and brought out some clothes. "Here. Put these on. anyway, I don't know what will happen as this is the public speaker he told us about."
"Ghoulia tried to search up the guy but found nothing," Cleo said, pointing to the zombie.
"Moum," Ghoulia groaned.
"Uh...I don't speak zombie, remember," Danny said sheepishly while making a mental note it would probably be an excellent elective class...online...maybe.
"She says that nothing came up. She even hacked the magic council for records, but found nothing," Cleo explained.
"Either way, it is best to play it safe," Frankie said.
Danny nodded as he looked around the room. He noticed how the room was equipped for everything except a changing halfa in need of a disguise.
"I...you have a place from me to get changed, right?" Danny asked with a blush.
"Told you, you forgot something," Clawdeen said as she grabbed the ghost girl and turned her around as the other ghouls did the same.
"Sorry, but we don't have much time," Frankie said. "You'll have to change here."
They kept Spectra in front in case she would sneak a peek.
With his powers of invisibility, Danny got changed as fast as possible.
The ghost boy looked in the mirror as he saw his ensemble. He had a blue overcoat with was two sizes more too big and a pair of brown shorts that barely went past the rim of the coat. Danny kept his short uneath. To hid is human form more, the ghost boy had blue make-up covering his face and limbs and wore an orange wig.
"Where did you get this disguise? It's perfect!" Danny asked in amazement at how well he could blend in now.
"I do have an eye for these things," Clawdeen said with pride in picking the outfit.
"So...I guess I'm a franken-normie?" Danny quipped, but dropped to say, "That's not offensive, is it?
The ghouls weren't sure how to respond. They looked to Frankie, who brought out some more make-up adding to the places Danny missed.
"I don't think so, but the type of monster you would be called is Simulacrum. So you call called yourself my sixth cousin three times removed," Frankie said as she finished touching up the ghost boy.
"Uh...Frankie? I think we can just call him your cousin, and nobody would ask questions," Clawdeen added as her friends nodded.
"There. Ghouls, I present to you, my cousin, Dannystein," Frankie introduced the disguised ghost boy.
The crowd was murmuring at the name. It would be workshopped along the way but would do for now.
"At the very least, no one will recognize me now," Danny commented, not sold on the name.
"Hopefully, especially since it took us so long to sneak-shop on normie territory to get them," Clawdeen muttered
"What?" Danny cried out, hearing the werewolf.
"Well, you see...that incident at the mall also had other monsters. We came in support, but didn't know what would happen and—"
"You're that girl I saw at the mall!" Danny exclaimed, cutting off Spectra.
"Yes," Spectra blushed with a small smile as she spoke softly.
"We were all there," Frankie stated as she walked to the boy. "We all had disguises and went to Amity Park that day."
"Why?" Danny asked.
Spectra would have answered, but the bell rang, and they didn't have time to explain everything. Everyone had to be in the auditorium, and Headmistress Goobblood wouldn't have anyone skipping the event.
Walking into the halls, Danny got a sense of the vast monsters occupying the school. He found it refreshing and wasn't anxious or anything but felt right at home.
As the halfa and the ghouls journeyed to the auditorium, a nearby Torelai had caught wind of the halfa's scent.
The catgirl kept following her nose with each sniff as the ghost boy's scent became more recognizable. Granted, he was in disguise,
but no one thought about how some monsters had acute senses.
Hmm...smells like normie but also ghostly. Wait... Torelai thought before a grin formed on her hairy face.
She gestured for her catgirls, to fan out and walked along the sides. Any prey she had in mind would not escape her even if she had to do it during the event.
"Soon," Torelai purred to herself.
The halfa had turned around to catch a glimpse of a catgirl sniffing the air and cutting the space between the two. This was not a good sign.
Oh man, not Torelai. Danny thought in a panic.
He cannot afford to let that mangy cat girl ruin everything.
"What's wrong?" Frankie asked. The ghouls noticed the ghost boy's panicked face.
But the ghost boy couldn't answer as everyone was stuffing themselves through the door. It seemed the public speaker had important news.
The auditorium was packed with monsters and ghouls as everyone went to find seats. Danny realized how he had to be in disguise as the risk of being exposed sounded terrible. And no in the swarmed by phans way.
The ghost boy wiggled through the sea of monsters and ghouls as he made his way back to Spectra and her friends. The ghost girl was happy to see the halfa safe as she held his hand for safekeeping, but things didn't stay satisfied for long.
As if some other force was casting the die against him, Danny saw the familiar form of Torelai walking over to him and the ghouls. She sniffed the air with each step before looking at him. A smile was on her face.
"Well meow, looks like the group has a new manster among them," the catgirl said with a purr.
"What do you want, torelai? "Clawdeen asked as she got between Danny and the were-cat.
"Who's the new guy?" Torelai asked with intrigue. "He smells familiar."
The catgirl took a few steps closer, eyeing Danny like prey.
The ghost boy crept back a few steps. There was a feeling he wouldn't be exposed but at the right price. And that could be scarier.
Luckily the ghouls had his back.
"Claws off, kitty," Clawdeen growled, literally, as she stepped in front of the catgirl.
This got the catgirl to back away with a hiss, claws were out and ready. Before this could escalate further, the spotlights focused on the stage as the curtain rose. A gentleman with white skin and red eyes walked on the scene and demanded silence from everyone. He had an attire similar to a ringmaster with a long dark gray jacket with a bowler hat. But the most distinguishing trait was that he was human.
"I can't be," Danny said softly in shock.
"This is what I was trying to tell you," Spectra said, squeezing the ghost boy's hand, something Torelai took notice.
"Ladies and Gentlemansters! Boys and ghouls! I wish to thank you, the student boy of Monster High, for coming. My name is Fredrick Issack Showenhower. And I'm here today to talk you lovely monster about positive change in the world," the ringleader said with dramatic gestures and jazz hands.
No was seem impressed; not even a cricket made a sound.
Danny was stunned as he saw one of his enemies on stage and giving a public speech to young monsters. He soon felt the cold grasp of Spectra as her hand intertwined with his. The ghost boy glanced to see the face of uncertainty on the ghost girl.
"This is why," Spectra whispered as she increased her grip.
Danny looked back to the stage with caution. Whatever this man was plotting now couldn't mean well.
It's been a while but we finally have another chapter done. And it looks like Freakshow is back.
And all it took was me punching through your door and "helping you." Man, can you swear when you're surprised.
Yeah...well...the chapter is done and Deadpool is repaying by fixing it and grabbing me a chimichanga.
Fiiiine...but I'm using someone else's card. Bye! Also, when's my next appearance!?
Soon. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoyed this.
Special Thanks! to Flower Princess11 for all her help!
