Lancer & Danny talk

Disclaimer: I do not own"Danny Phantom"

Summary: Like the title says, Lancer and Danny talk. My first try at involving just canon characters, although it does mention Sarah.

Lancer's POV: Daniel Fenton walked onto my fifth period English class and to his desk. He sat down in the back. His friends Tucker Foley and Samantha Manson sat on either side of him. When the rest of the class came and found their seats, I stood up and started teaching on the works of Shakespeare.

"Now, two works of Shakespeare involve ghosts. Can anyone name them for me?" I turned to face the class.

Mr. Fenton's hand shot up.

"Mr. Fenton, the son of two ghost hunters, is the only one?" I asked. All other hands stayed down.

"All right, Mr. Fenton. What are they?"

"Caesar and Hamlet."

"Yes, Caesar and Hamlet."

"My father's favorite plays." I heard him mutter.

"I suppose so, Mr. Fenton. Can you tell us why they show up?"

"Why, but not where or when. I never pay attention to that part. Hamlet's father shows up because he was murdered, but it was assumed a natural death. Caesar shows up because he was also murdered, but he doesn't want the wrong heir getting the throne." (I read Caesar years ago in eleventh grade. I have never read Hamlet.)

"Yes, Mr. Fenton. Now, his other famous work, Romeo and Juliet, was based on the story of two lovers who were also from feuding families. The story was recited for years before being written down..."

After class, Mr. Fenton approached my desk.

"Yes, Mr. Fenton? Are you having trouble with the assignment?"

"No, sir, Mr. Lancer. I just wanted to tell you that I understand what you meant about how you feel after a student of yours succeeds. You see, I've been trying to teach my little sister Sarah how to skate for weeks, and yesterday, she finally got it. I finally know how it feels when someone else you've been teaching succeeds."

"Well, Mr. Fenton, I'm glad we finally see eye to eye on something. I hope I don't hear from my younger brother about how Sarah seems more interested in skating than her school work."

"Oh, my parents and I all made her promise that school will come before skating."

"That's good."

"See you tomorrow, Mr. Lancer." Danny left, closing the door.
