Chapter 2: The Events After
A/N: Whoa, I never thought people would enjoy the first chapter of this story this much. I already got 4 review and counting! I knew that people would love this story if they liked "Death to Inviso-bill". And no, Danni won't be in this one, but it'll still be great!
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or its characters, but if I did, I would make sure it goes on for a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very long time.
Now, without furthur aduo, here's chapter 2! (RHYME!)
Danny layed in his hospital bed, with his eyes shut tightly, yet his hearing was still on, as he listened to everyone gasping, some sobbing, and some fainting at the sight of Danny's secret. Everyone was surprised and astounded. They could never picture a 14-year old boy be the ghost boy. After all, it's pretty hard to image a teenage with ghost powers.
For the rest of the day, he felt shame for lying to Amity Park for a long time. He did not want anyone to learn his secret until he became very ill. Now, he wishes that he never had ghost powers, because he does not know what his parents will do to him now that they know, so he layed there, awaiting his cruel punishment from his parents.
Meanwhile, back at the Guys in White government ghost hunting squad building, things were getting wrestless, as everyone learned that the ghost everyone hated the most was actually an ill teenager. Everyone was scared of what Danny's parents were going to do to them.
"Well, this is just wrong." One of the Guys in White said.
"I know! How can a teenager have ghost powers, let alone be the ghosy boy?" Another one asked.
"Well, there's nothing we can do now."
Back at the hospital, Sam and Tucker stood outside Danny's room, eatching him sleep. There was an erre calm in the air, and the only thing that broke this silence was the smooth rhythm of Danny's breathing, that and the smooth beat of the heart monitor. Neither Sam nor Tucker dared to move near Danny, and neither dared to leave the hospital, despite Tucker's fear of it. Finally, after some silence, Sam moved intot he room, and quietly sat down in a nearby chair, and watched Danny sleep, lovingly. Danny slowly opened hsi eyes, and in a blurry vision, saw Sam sitting there.
"S-Sam -" Danny muttered.
"Hi Danny." She whispered back. "How are you feeling?"
"Sore, bitter, fatigue, need I go on?" Danny joked, Sam chuckled.
"Well, at least you're feeling good enough to joke."
Yeah, I-I guess you-you could say that." Danny struggle with all his might to try and speak, but he couldn't. He was just took weak. "Well, it's hard to-stay awake when you have Epilotocous on your hand."
"I guess." Sam chuckled a little bit, and then hugged Danny, tightly. "Danny, why did you do it?"
"Do what?"
"Spend every waking second you had studying for your finals?"
"Well -well-" Danny couldn't bare to tell the truht. "Well, you know how Jazz gets perfect grades and gets accepted into perfect colleges and gets all the attention for her grades? Well, for once I wanted to get that attention, and I knew the only way I'd be able to do that is if I got a perfect score on all of my final exams, so they wouldn't punish me."
"Danny, stop! You did more harm to yourself by not relaxing than by not relaxing."
"I know. I-I wasn't thinking then, but now I'm calm and relaxed, but I just feel like crying." So Danny then took Sam's waist, and buried his head in it, sobbing like crazy. Sam was both surprised and shocked at this stimulus, but just returned the affection in the end.
"There, there, Danny, everything's okay now." Sam calmed. "You're safe now."
"I-I know. But everything's moving so fast. I mean - Sam, could you send in my parents?"
"Sure." Sam left the room and sent in Danny's parents.
"Hi mom - dad." HE said, practically mumbling.
"Hi honey." His mother replied back. "How are you feeling?"
"Sore, tired - and everything hurts." His mother and father neared his bed.
"Honey, I just want you to know that whatever happens, we're proud of you."
"But, I lied to you, over and over, and you tried to kill my ghost half - until now. If I were you guys, I'd ground me forever."
"Well, of course you lied to us, honey. We never gave you a reason not to."
"All this time we've been talking about destroying and dissecting ghosts, we never gave you a chance to tell your side of the story -" Jack replied. "I'd have been terrified to death too, if I were you."
"But whatever happens -" Maddie began. " -just know that we'll always love you, sweetie. You."
"Whether you're ghost, boy, lizard, snake, uhh, giraffe -"
"Dad, I get it." Danny said. "And - I appericiate it - more than you guys will ever know." Danny hugged his parents tightly, tears falling out of his eyes.
"Danny, don't ever worry about us. We'll be there for you." Maddie commented, attempting to calm the boy down. Danny looked up at his mother, then loayed back down in bed, ridiculled in pain. "So, Danny, we heard that you became the ghost boy because of the - lab accident?"
"Yep, that's right. I still can't believe you two - of all people - would install an on button inside the portal."
"I know, that's pretty dumb." Maddie chuckled a little bit as she took Danny in her arns again. "Oh honey, we're so proud of you, and we've never been more proud of you."
"I know."
"You just get some sleep honey. You've had a rough week so far. I'll send ayour friends in a little while, okay."
"Alright." Danny could feel his glisten eyes slowly shutting on him, as he finally gave in, and fell asleep in his bed, as Maddie and Jack gave Danny a goodbye hug and left the room in a hurry.
Danny woke up a few hours later to find another erre calm in his room, and the only thing that broke that calm was thes stedily beat of the heart monitor. He looked around out his window to see Sam and Tucker waiting outside, waving to him. He waved back, but didn't smile. So Sam and Tucker ran inside, practically sprinting, to Danny's room to see him.
"Hey Danny. How're you feeling?" Tucker asked, attempting to avoid all the sharp needles.
"A little better, but stil sore and very tired." Danny replied, proving it with a loud yawn.
"Wow, this has been some adventure so far."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, first, Lancer asked us to give you back your final exam." He handed Danny a paper.
"What is it, an F, and F- -" He looked at the paper, and then his mood dropped in guilt. "Wow, I aced it." He dropped the paper in guilt, and after a moment of silence, his anger rose, and his rage infumed him. "OH GREAT! Now Danny Fenton is in captivity, so everyone, including his fat teacher, Mr. Lancer, has to show him pity, by giving him an A+ on his exams!"
"Danny, listen to yourseslf!" Sam yelled. "You've studied hard for this test, and you even put your own health at risk to ace this test. You earned this A."
"No I don't! I don't deserve this A! I didn't work for it!"
"What's the matter with you? You did earn it! You did!"
"I don't care! And I'm gonna get back at that back-stabbing, overweight, pathetic excuse for a teacher, even if it kills me!"
"Danny, please." Sam was going to scream at the angry Danny if he didn't calm down.
"Sam, please don't try to stop me. I know what I'm doing. I just want to show him that I can still do in school."
"Speaking of which, here." Tucker handed Danny his report card, and another one of Danny's tests. The test read A-.
"Of course, another pity grade."
"Danny, stop that! You've worked hard these past few months - harder than I've ever seen you work, and you know you earn this grade."
"Yeah - I know. It's just that - nobody evers wants to hear my side of the story - everyone wants to base their decision on what they know, not on what I know. It's not fair. Nobody ever listens to me! And you know what, I'm going to make them listen - if it's the last thing I do!"
"Danny, wait, before you go, we brought someone over." And then entered none other than Mr. Lancer himself, with a look of pity on his face.
"Mr. Fenton, are you feeling any better?" He asked. Danny just gave him a smirk.
"Why would you care. Please, just go away." Danny replied, as politely as possible. BEsdies, as angry as he can be, he never tries to be cruel on purpose.
"Mr. Fenton, I understand what you've been going through can tear a guy apart, but that's no reason to be so cruel. You've aced the tests you've taken this month because of your hard work."
"I know, but everyone still hates Inviso-bill, and everyone hates me too."
"No they don't -"
"Nobody appericiates me, nobody likes me -"
"Danny -"
"They always bully me around and push me around, and every time I try to tell them I'm with them, they always attack me. Well, no more!" Danny stood up, and took the wires out of his body, while the heart monitor started beating skipily. He transformed into his ghost mode, and took a near-by megan-phone, and flew out of the building.
"LISTEN UP AMITY PARK!" He yelle dinto the mega-phone, getting everyone's attention.
"What's wrong, Danny?" Valerie asked.
"SHUT UP YOU JERKS! Listen closely, I'm tired of how you've been treating me theis past year. I try to help you, I put my own life at risk, and what do I get? THe cold shoulder! Well, no more! From now on, you'll have to fend for yourselves, whether you care or not!" He then fired his strongest plasma blast at Valerie, his mother, father, and Dash at the same time. "I'm sick of how I'm treated. I want some respect, and I'm gonna get some!" He raised hsi hands to the sky, as he formed a recently learned attack called: The ghost bomb. In seconds, clodds of ghost energy formed around his hands, and he prepared to fire the bomb.
To be continued.
Hey, I never said that Danny wasn't going to be the villian. What is Amity Park going to do now that Amity Park's former hero has gone bad? FInd out next time.
3rd chapter hopefully up by June 23rd, at the very latest the 26th.
