Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom!
At Nickelodeon studios, Danny was treated well. Really well. He was the guest of honor, so to speak, since he was the star of one of their most famous shows. Danny was shown into various studios where he watched as editors sifted through miles of tape recordings, searching for the ones that would eventually be placed in his show. Butch showed him his own studio, and he was awed. There were pictures of him everywhere. The entire thing was covered in photos of both Fenton and Phantom, as well as pictures of almost everyone else in his life.

"It's like my Sam Shrine…only slightly more creepy." All of a sudden, a TV descended from the roof of the studio and began playing the clip from Fanning the Flames when Danny covered his bed in Sam stuff and was meditating to it.

"Okay, I get it, you can stop it now," Danny said, annoyed, and the screen turned off. "Does that happen a lot?" he asked Butch.

"Oh yeah. Try not to get too annoyed by it," he replied.

After the tour of all of the different studios, the two of them went to Nick Hotels and Suites, where Danny got a penthouse suite on account of his stardom. He spent the next three hours enjoying the video-game-and-mini-fridge-stocked suite to its absolute fullest, but then he was called downstairs to the front desk.

"We'd like to know if you wouldn't mind being the special guest for Slime Time this afternoon," the lady at the front desk told him. Danny had never heard of Slime Time, but decided that he might as well try to make a good impression on the executives while he was there, so that they might be a little more benevolent towards him.

"Sure, I guess," he replied.

Four slime-and-fangirl-filled hours of torture later, a very, very tired Danny staggered back into his suite and took a nice, hot, shower. He changed into his pink (as much as he argued that they were salmon, nobody ever believed him) pajamas and sank into the large bed. He fell asleep almost immediately.

The next day, after a continental breakfast that was provided by room service, Danny was taken to the Board Room, where he was to meet with the Board of Directors in order to argue his case against being cancelled.

He entered the room and was met by five men and five women who were sitting around an oval table, the Board of Directors. At the very end of the oval sat a younger man, whom Danny presumed to be Mr. Dannett, the attourney-at-law who represented the Board. His presumption was proven correct when the man stood up and introduced himself. Dannett also introduced the other ten people, but five minutes later Danny couldn't remember their names if his life depended on it, what with the fact that he had the attention span of a teenage boy (about three seconds).

"As you know, you are currently being considered for cancellation because of aggressive action towards this ghost," Dannett began as he held up a card with the picture of the Flying Dutchman. "Do you agree that you took offensive measures when dealing with him?"

"I do," Danny answered warily, and caught one of the board member shaking his head sadly.

"And do you or do you not agree that it was your actions, and your actions only, that caused him to be unable to appear on his own show, a show that is filmed at the bottom of the ocean?"

"I agree, I guess."

"Well, there's nothing more to be said, ladies and gentlemen of the board. Mr. Fenton is clearly guilty of preventing the Flying Dutchman from doing his job, and subsequently preventing five episodes of Spongebob from airing because of that."

"Now wait just a minute," Danny argued. "It's not my fault that I stopped your show from occurring. Heck, I didn't even know that he was part of a show when I did it. But that's neither here nor there. I can't suffer these repercussions for stopping that ghost because it's my job to fight ghosts. And if I had just let him get away, then I wouldn't have a show either, right?"

"His show gets better ratings than yours. We lose more money by his absence than yours," one of the board members piped up.

"That may be true, but that still doesn't give me the right to not stop a ghost. I need to protect my hometown from them, period. Whether or not the ghost is from another show, its still my responsibility to stop them."

"Well, perhaps you should have done some background checking before randomly attacking," Dannett replied.

"Okay, first of all, if a ghost just pops out of nowhere and you have to fight him, there isn't exactly time to do a background check. Second, if he's filmed under the sea, why was he in Amity Park anyway?" The board members murmured amongst themselves at this.

"The boy is right," one of them said. "The Flying Dutchman should have stayed in Bikini Bottoms. He had no right to leave."

"Besides," a second of them continued, "Danny was protecting his hometown, a very admirable act indeed. How can we hold that against him?"

"We still can't let him get off scot-free, though," a third member of the board objected.

"In that case, how about we cancel the show but give plenty of advance notice. We won't cancel until February, in order to give the fans plenty of time to prepare," a fourth suggested.

"That could work," the others agreed. So it was settled. Danny Phantom would continue until February, at which point it would be cancelled after fifty-three episodes.

"So? How'd it go?" Butch asked as Danny exited the Board Room.

"Good news and bad news," Danny replied. "Bad news first: We're still getting cancelled." Butch's face fell. "But the good news is that it won't happen until February, so we're still good to go for another eight months." Butch beamed at him.

"Awesome job, Danny. So, is there anything else you want to do while you're here in Florida?" Danny shrugged.

"It's not like I can go out in public without being mobbed by fangirls, so I'm pretty much limited to staying here." He thought for a minute. "Do you think we could go back to my studio for a minute?"

"Sure," Butch replied. The two of them returned and Danny asked for the screen to be lowered.

"Show me…all of the moments with me and Sam together." The screen complied, and showed all of the fluffy scenes that appeared in all of the episodes. As Danny watched from an outsider's perspective, he noticed things that he'd never seen before, like how Sam dented multiple pieces of metal while he was dating Paulina, back when Kitty was overshadowing her. Or how she almost broke down crying every time he came closer to Valerie.

"What a clueless idiot I've been," he said to himself. "She loves me, doesn't she?"

"Yeah, she does," Butch replied.

"And I love her too. I really do." He turned to face Butch. "I need to go back home now." Butch smiled and led him back to his room, where he hurriedly packed up. They drove to the airport, where Danny ignored cries of 'let me have your babies, Danny!' and got on a plane back to Amity Park.
