This is a one-shot birthday special for my friend Author Dreams Come True 996, whose birthday is in this month. She is a huge Danny Phantom fan, and also a budding Disney/Toho fan as she has read and reviewed my entire Monsters and Magic series! I am honored and humbled by her reviews, and I can only hope the best for her.
So this one is for her, and on her special day! So please everyone, give it up for Dreams Comes True 996! She is also an excellent artist, so go and talk with her via PM to know where you can find her artwork. I have used some of her pictures here as cover images for my Danny Phantom stories.
In addition, I want to announce that in May of this year I will be making a special one-shot wedding special that features Max and Roxanne! If you want to know more about the details, go see my latest chapter in my House of Mouse/Toho special called House of Mouse Special- Godzilla 1985.
You know… sigh… I am getting a bit upset that my Disney/Toho ideas are not being even taken seriously after sending numerous letters to Walt Disney Animation Studios. After seeing so many crossover specials and other such works being aired on TV & shown in the movies, just wondering when my Monsters and Magic series will have a chance to shine. It does so here at this site but… just dreaming about it can only do so much, and my efforts at getting my work recognized hasn't been much of a success. Still… will keep on trying, as it is my dream to have my work shown in some way other than fanfiction.
I just believe that my Disney/Toho works is what the companies need. Not necessarily want, but need especially in this day and age.
Danny Phantom is a cartoon series that was created by Butch Hartman, developed by Steve Marmel. The series aired on April 2004, the network that released it was Nickelodeon. The production companies were Billionford Inc. and Nickelodeon Animation Studios, with the distributors being Viacom International Inc. and Nelvana. Look for my Danny Phantom series and specials when getting the chance, if you please. This takes place just after Kindred Spirits, which is the last episode for Season Two of the series and just before the start of Season Three. Also, following the schedule on which real summer vacation starts for most high school students in the U.S.A.
The song used here is called Opposites Attract, a single recorded by artist Paula Abdul & The Wild Pair Bruce DeShazer & Marv Gunn. The single is from the album Forever Your Girl, the single was released in November 1989 while the album was recorded from October 1987 to April 1988. It was released on June 1988, with the single put into it later on. Label was done by Virgin, songwriter was Oliver Leiber with producer also Leiber. The song was also featured in a music video that featured Paula Abdul with cartoon character MC Skat Kat, the video winning a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 1991.
Also, I chose this song since it really is her favorite one.
Now, on with the birthday special!)
It is Saturday May 13th 2006, and it was precisely about 7:30 p.m. for the residents at Amity Park, North Dakota. The sun was setting slowly over the horizon, twilight being formed for the people that resided in the small city. The downtown area of the city was gradually coming to life, a few businesses closing their doors while a vast majority stayed open. At a building that was called the Universal Mix, many teenagers and young adults were filling in the place as the young generation were ready to cut loose as to have a good time. The establishment was a dance club where songs that varied from the 1950s all the way up the current times were being played. It was a hot spot for most teenagers and young adults that wanted to get away from the stress of either school, work or even family.
At the moment, a young teenage boy was at the club as he was sitting at a table looking a bit weary. His name was Daniel Fenton, son of Maddie & Jack Fenton & younger brother to Jasmine 'Jazz' Fenton. The fifteen year old sighed as he looked up from his table, looking around as he saw his peers having a good time with their dates. He sighed and thought, 'All of these people here having a good time… and I'm here all by myself. I should have gone on patrol around the city instead of having Tucker talk me into coming here with him!'.
You see folks, Danny Fenton was no ordinary young man… he is a halfa! He is half-ghost, half-human! You see, his parents are ghost hunters that are supposed to be experts in the paranormal area. However, while they are brilliant in the invention area of making items that are capable of countering spirits… they were not so brilliant when it came to utilizing their inventions or even knowing how they function after building them. Some time ago, they created a fantastic device known as the Fenton Portal which was an artificial doorway between a place called the Ghost Zone and the mortal realm. They did not realize that it was actually called Purgatory, a place allowed spirits who did not wish to be judged at the higher levels to roam free until they had fulfilled something that would complete their unfinished business in the mortal realm.
On the day they plugged in the device, it did not function and sadly both adults quickly gave up on it, deciding that it was a flop. However, young Daniel who was with them at the moment, put on a protective suit and went inside to examine the failed doorway. Jack and Maddie seemed to have forgotten that they had installed an On/Off switch… which was located INSIDE the doorway. Danny's hand touched the On button… and the device worked! It ripped a hole in the fabric that separated the supernatural dimensions, filling the space with spiritual energy, but with the young Fenton lad still within it! He was bombarded with ectoplasmic energy, the substance saturating him down to his DNA! He was knocked unconscious for a while, but when he came to… he saw that he had changed, and not just physically!
Ever since that day, he had decided to utilize his newfound power and abilities to protect his home from mischievous spirits that had cropped up due to the portal. Normally, ghosts would have to find a natural portal to cross over from Purgatory to Earth & back again. But portals like that were rare, and now with an artificial one opening that was larger & stable, the spirits from that particular realm came over with ease. So he took up the name Danny Phantom as his new identity when transforming into his ghost-self, akin to the superheroes he had seen many times in comics and television as a child growing up.
Only his two mortal friends, Samantha 'Sam' Manson and Tucker Foley, knew of his new identity and helped him out when battling various spirits such as Johnny13, Box Ghost, Lunch Lady, Skulker and many more!
Danny's only serious problem was another halfa… one that had been created many years ago, but was as corrupt & devious as they came! His name was Vlad Masters, a rival to Jack in the past as the two men had an enormous crush on the beautiful Madeline in their young days. However, an experiment in the supernatural department went awry and Vlad was infected! He was scarred by the accident, but it gave him ghost powers that he had twenty years to learn & master. While it did ruin his social life in the beginning, once he had his new form and powers under control, Vlad took on the villainous name of Vlad Plasmius & started to acquire huge wealth and knowledge…
At the cost of his honor, as he used his abilities to ruin others while building his own financial empire. He was also still obsessed with Maddie, even though she had chosen Jack & the two had gotten married. His infatuation with the beautiful & skilled woman had only grown, a lust that had fueled his desire to have a goal. And said goal was to conquer the planet with Maddie by his side as queen, and her children raised by him with Jack… being obliterated.
Vlad was crafty though, and had recently tried to manipulate Jazz into destroying her brother due to a fallout they had. Danny's older sister had found out about his second life through her own intellect, and wanted to join the team. However, her own eagerness and over-analytical actions had caused a rift to form. She was soon deceived by Vlad, and had almost eliminated her own kin… until both brother & sister managed to come together to turn the tables on Plasmius! In the end, Jazz was now an accepted member of the team while she agreed to do better in it.
Back to the present, Danny was not in a good mood at the moment. He had been stressed out over the week due to four factors. Chief among them was his parents that were still trying to catch and experiment on him. His mother and father did not know that their son was a halfa, so they deemed Phantom a menace & tried to capture him. More often than not, when at home in his mortal form, he heard Maddie and Jack coming up with ways to capture the ghost hero… and experiment on him, dissecting him molecule by molecule. One should realize that kind of comment would really strain family relations.
The second reason he was stressed was due to school and his duty as a hero. Finals were coming in, and even though he was a decent student in many areas, he knew that he would have to work harder now to make sure that he got acceptable grades… otherwise he would be held back. Normally, this would not bother him much, but his time patrolling the city and fighting various specters & new foes like the Guys In White took its toll and cut into his scholastic activities. Recently though, he had just encountered a clone by the name of Danielle 'Dani' Fenton whom was created by his arch-nemesis. It wasn't easy, but he managed to convince her that Vlad did not have her best interest at heart. The two foiled his plans, and the female halfa flew away to see if she could find her own place in the world.
However, Danny felt that something was off about Dani. He felt that she was not a clone due to being a girl, not a boy like the rest that Vlad had shown him. He felt that Dani was not 'cloned' but… created. In short, that Vlad had utilized a different method of cloning that result in Dani's creation. What that method was though was anyone's guess…
The third reason his nerves were frayed was due to a lack of a lady. He had an immense crush on a Hispanic beauty who went by the name of Paulina Sanchez, a member of an elite clique called the A-Rosters who were essentially the popular students at Casper High campus. However, said lovely lady was devious and self-centered when it came to those that were low on the social ladder. One of the biggest ironies was that said cheerleader of the high school team was in love with Danny Phantom, having an infatuation with the halfa… but having nothing for his regular form. Her best female friend Star Satellite also had a bit of a crush on Phantom, but hid it well since her friend was also aiming for him.
And the fourth reason was the absence of his friends. Tucker had managed to convince/drag Danny towards the club to relax and have some fun, but the moment he stepped foot into the establishment, he left to try his luck with the ladies. Danny had to give his African-American friend this; despite being rejected a lot by the beauties, he was persistent and optimistic despite his geeky nature. Samantha was going to be at a special goth convention that had come into the city, and also she stated that dance clubs were not her thing. She preferred dark and ominous over the bright lights & beats of the Universal Mix.
So thus, he was sitting by himself as he watched others having a good time to the music. He muttered to himself, "If something interesting doesn't happen in the next few minutes, I'm just going out of here and on patrol.". Just after he said that, something did happen that would alter his life for the rest of his years.
A shadow appeared over his form, and a soft melodious voice that was able to overpower the noise in the room asked, "Excuse me, sir. Mind if I join you?". Danny looked up, and was greeted with a most lovely of sights!
Before him was a sixteen year-old girl, with fair skin that seemed to almost glow. Her hair was a rich brown color like the earth itself, eyes blue almost like his but more deeper a color with a small mole just under her left eye that made her look more cute, lips a gentle pink color with a fullness that was actually natural. She wore a small necklace with small golden orbs that made it, with a pink one in the center. She wore a bracelet on her left wrist that was of many colors. And her skirt that was white with red & blue splotches on them, almost remnant of the 1960s but in a tasteful way. She looked to be around Danny's height as well, with a build showing that she took care of herself wonderfully.
All in all, the person in the young Fenton's eyes was close to Paulina-level league cuteness! And she seemed to have an accent to her that made her cute level soar.
He just stared at her for a bit, mouth open slightly at seeing such a vision of beauty. She blushed a little under the scrutiny, Danny seeing them and literally having to slap himself to get back to reality. He offered a weak, nervous smile as he said, "S-Sorry about that. I got a bit distracted… and yes, you can join me if you want.". The young lady giggled, the tone and quality of it pleasant to Danny's ears.
She sat down in a chair beside him and said, "Thank you, and it is alright from earlier. At least you did not oogle me, like some men do.". It would appear that while the young female liked attention, she did not approve of men looking at her like she was a prime piece of meat at a market.
Danny replied, "Thanks. Again sorry for the look earlier but… well, very rare for a pretty girl like you to say anything to me. Unless it's something for teasing and the like.". He was surprised about his open honesty, especially to someone he had just met! His face blushed a strawberry red from the sudden remark, and the young woman's face also lit up like a red piece of fruit.
The mysterious female smiled softly before speaking, "Again, it's alright. And thanks for calling me pretty. Oh! I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Maria Niewiadomska, and I am new here to America. My family and I just moved in from our home country in Poland last week, and we have just finished settling in.". Danny was stunned to meet someone from another land that was across the Atlantic Ocean & from Europe! He concluded on why she had a cute accent like that, and also that she was a dressed in an outfit that was a bit dated… yet still made her more alluring than some of the ladies that were dancing in the club.
The young Fenton lad smile increased slightly as he extended his hand out and said, "Nice to meet you Maria. Name is Danny Fenton, and it's good to meet someone from way out of town.". The last comment was made to be a little joke, which Maria found funny and giggled slightly at it. Her voice was very soothing to Daniel, a quality that was not lost on him.
She replied that it was nice to meet him too, and he asked on what she was doing here since she was technically still new here to America. She answered, "Ah, I came to discover more of your culture and also to experience what you all do here on a weekend. I have a lot of time on my hands since I won't be joining high school for now.".
Danny was surprised to hear that and inquired, "Won't be joining Casper High, right? And if so, why not?". Maria looked to him and confirmed that she was going to Casper High, but in the next semester. The school year was already very close to ending, and also she needed to take some qualification tests to see which level she should start in when August rolled around. She was hoping to start off on Junior level, that way she would only have two years of high school education to complete. Danny spoke that he was close to graduating his Freshman year, and if he managed to pass all of his finals, he would be a Sophomore in August.
Maria asked, "Pardon me for asking this Danny but… why are just sitting here instead of dancing on the floor with the others?".
This caused the halfa to go from smiling to frowning as he answered, "It's just that… well… with all the stress I have from school and… other activities, I can't seem to relax. Also, most of these songs are meant for couples to dance & as you can see… kinda alone for the moment.".
The young Polish girl got a determined look on her face as she stated, "Well, how about we get to know each other a little more? And after that, if you are feeling better, how about a dance with me? I really want you to feel good since you are the first friend I have made since being here.".
Again, the Fenton lad was caught by surprise by Maria's offer and statement. While it was good that he had friends like Tucker and Samantha, he felt that he needed more. Unfortunately, he had trust issues due to his secret on being a halfa & also that very few people would even approach him due to his parents career choice & nature. But… something about Maria, on various levels, decided that he needed to take a leap of faith. To open up, if just a little, to the beautiful foreign woman and see where it went. Also, it would be nice in his view to have another female friend that was not as pushy as Sam.
He answered, "Well… why not? And thanks for telling me that I am the first friend you made here.". This made Maria smile, and the two started to talk about themselves with her going first.
As the minutes passed, the duo learned much about one another. Maria stated that she was a Christian, and that she had been influenced much by a potent & unique preacher/singer by the name of Carman. She was introduced to him by a pen pal in the United States, one named DJ Rodriguez. In addition, she used to live in the country back home and loved nature very much. She also enjoyed cooking, a novice still but one that held promise. She also spoke some good English, even though she was more versed in her native tongue but she was getting better. She was also into exercise and fitness, wanting to stay healthy but not totally obsessive with it. And finally, she loved animals very much though she had a fear of spiders.
Maria learned that Danny's family hunted ghosts, which surprised her as she asked on why the Fenton's would want to harm spirits. When he answered that ghosts would only cause mischief and mayhem, the young lady pointed out that they were once alive and mortal like they were. And also that perhaps instead of fighting them, to try and help them out so they would ascend. The Fenton lad was a bit surprised by that, and also starting to understand that ghosts were mortal at some point… before something happened that got their ticket punched, so to speak. He was a bit hesitant, but told her that he would at least try to. Needless to say it would freak his parents out to want to help a specter rather than capture & dissect them, but he felt that it would help him in many ways in the long run.
The Polish beauty also learned that her new friend wanted to be an astronaut when he became of age, wanting to work for NASA and see the heavens in all their glory outside of Earth's atmosphere. She also learned that he liked the rock group Humpty Dumpty, and enjoyed bowling as well. Maria admitted that she only bowled a few times in her life back home, and wanted to see if she could try the sport again. Danny stated that he would be glad to help her, the two slowly but surely growing more comfortable with one another.
After some time talking and learning about one another, Fenton ordered two drinks for him and her. Maria got some sweet tea while Danny obliged to delve into Pepsi. As the duo drank their liquid beverages, the disc jockey of the place known as D.J. Marka Ragnos exclaimed, "Hey there, everybody! The night has finally come, the sun has gone down all the way! Now to really kick things off this Saturday, how about we go a bit retro? Here is a little number, a blast from the late 1980s past! Here is a number I call Opposites Attract from that sweet little lady from the hot music days, Paula Abdul! And considering how many boys and girls are here together, I'd say this is an excellent song for them! So come on over to the dance floor if you feeling brave, and show us what ya got!".
Upon hearing the announcement, Maria squealed in delight as she rose to her feet! She looked to her new friend and stated, "Danny, that is one of my absolute favorite songs! I used to play it a lot back home! Please, just one dance and to this song!". She gave him the ultimate weapon that would make most men who did not have a strong will to crumble to dust… the dreaded Big-Watery Puppy Dog Eyes technique!
Danny instantly crumbled before the eyes, chuckling a little at her attempts to get him on the dance floor. Truth be told, in his eyes that actually made her look more cute. He replied, "You got it! I actually know this song very well. Maybe not as much as you, but I have seen the music video of this song a lot to know what to do.". It was true, as a young lad Danny had seen many music videos growing up. Among them was seeing the beautiful Paula dancing & singing to the song with the cartoon character MC Skat Kat, the video very good and the young one copying the moves of the duo until he learned them by heart & automatic reflex.
As the music came on, the dance floor was soon vacant as the patrons wanted something a little more modern. However, this was perfect for Danny and Maria as they took to the main dance floor! All eyes were soon on them as the song started, and the two just flowed with it!
{I'm MC Kat on the rap, so mic it!
Here's a little story, and you're sure to like it!
Swift and sly, and I'm playing it cool…
With my homegirl, Paula Abdul!
Baby, seems we never, ever agree…
You like the movies, and I like TV!
I take things serious, and you take'em light!
I go to bed early, and I party all night!}
As the lyrics started out, Danny started things off by doing some smooth moves while actually mouthing off the lyrics! The people at the tables or on the edge of the floor turned to see the couple taking the stage, many surprised to see that it was Danny Fenton with a cute girl to boot! The quarterback of Casper High, Dash Baxter was stunned to see that his target for bullying and stuffing in lockers was dancing with a beautiful young lady. He exclaimed, "What the heck?! How is it that Fen-turd is dancing with a hot little number like that?!". Indeed, many were like him as they were perplexed on why someone like Maria would be dancing with someone that was associated heavily with the supernatural 'freaky' stuff.
Tucker saw the two dancing, and on automatic reflex that was born of years of using technology, he took out his trusty PDA and started to record the whole thing. He was surprised to see his friend on the dance floor and a thought came to his mind, 'Wait till Sam sees this! She'll flip!'.
The duo paid little attention to the audience, as they were in their own little world at the moment. The two were dancing & moving to the beat and lyrics, almost in sync and in a way that was a beautiful sight to behold!
Our friends are saying we ain't gonna last!
'Cause I move slowly, and baby I'm fast!
I like it quiet, and I like to shout!
But when we get together, it just all works out!
Danny and Maria were showing moves that were really good, a mix of the dance styles of the late 1980s and their own which they added in to the music. Fenton and Niewiadomska were starting to make a good scene on the dance floor, the patrons looking at them while some took videos of it. Paulina was not amused at seeing Danny dance, believing that the lad who had a crush on her was still a nerd & shouldn't be doing something that good. But to the duo on the floor, they just let it all out and not give the outside world a second thought as they moved together!
{I take two steps forward! Two steps back!
We come together 'cause opposites attract!
And you know, it ain't fiction!
Just a natural fact!
We come together cause…
Opposites Attract!}
The two dancers were soon getting cheers from the crowd as they performed moves that were really good, very much honoring the original duo who made the song long ago. Danny was having a blast, his worries and tension just melting away as he danced with Maria! And the young lady's nervousness from being in a new land was also fading fast, as for now it was just her & her new friend on the stage! Dancing to some familiar music that made they continue on, regardless on who was seeing it! D.J. Marka was hollering out, giving props to the couple as they continued to give quite a show!
Who'd have thought, ah…
We could be lovers!
She makes the bed, and he steals the covers!
She likes it neat, and he makes a mess!
I take it easy, baby I get obsessed!
She's got the money, and he's always broke!
I don't like cigarettes, and I like to smoke!
Things in common, there just ain't one…
But when we get together, we have nothing but fun!
As the lyrics came forth, Danny started to be like the legendary cartoon character MC Skat Kat, doing smooth moves around Maria that made both teenagers blush. Their faces were atomic red, but Maria made no motion or word for Danny to stop. In fact, she encouraged it with the look in her eyes and the motion of her body! The Fenton lad and Niewiadomska lass continued to move and grove, mostly mimicking the moves of Paula & Skat Kat from the music videos they had seen when they were young. When the part came for the last lyrics, Maria playfully grabbed Danny's collar and started to shake him. The young man actually laughed as this was done, the two very much doing what Paula did to Kat when he tried to get a bit fresh with her. Once that was done, the two spun together and continued to dance!
{I take two steps forward! Two steps back!
We come together 'cause opposites attract!
And you know, it ain't fiction!
Just a natural fact!
We come together cause…
Opposites Attract!
You know it!
Baby, baby…}
Everyone was soon cheering loudly for the duo, certain jocks and cheerleaders surprised to see the crowd actually rooting for Fenton and his new friend! Tucker was among the ones cheering his friend on, making a mental note to ask Danny about the girl he was dancing with. Also, his PDA was recording everything down! Needless to say, this would be a video that would make talk among the community for some time in the future. Danny and Maria than prepared to really move together for the next part that was coming in, very much wanting to do it like Skat Kat and Paula Abdul did in the music video.
{Nothing in common, but there's trust!
I'm like a minus, she's like a plus!
One going up, one going down
But we seem to land on common ground!
Things go wrong, we make corrections!
To keep things moving in the right direction!
Try to fight it, but I'm telling you Jack!
It's useless!
Opposites Attract!}
When that particular set of lyrics came up, Danny and Maria really moved in sync with one another. It was true, in a way according to their minds. For now, Danny and Maria did not have much in common at the moment, but for now there was a trust of friendship between them. And who knows, it might blossom into something more as time would pass. Along with events and other stuff that would either make or break the friendship bond. But they also knew this; it was a mixture of obvious and subtle differences, and some similarities in some areas, that when mixed together in a right way… would prove that opposites did indeed attract one another!
Baby, ain't it somethin' how we lasted this long?
You and me, proving everyone wrong!
I don't think we'll ever get our differences patched…
Don't really matter cause we're perfectly matched!
The two continued to show the club what they had, and it was something positive as soon more couples joined them on the dance floor! Boys grabbed their girls, or vice versa, and started to boogie on the stage! They left their shyness at the door now, and were also enjoying the night like it was meant to be! But for a majority of the club, all eyes were still on Danny and Niewiadomska as they burned off the area they were in!
{I take two steps forward! Two steps back!
We come together 'cause opposites attract!
And you know, it ain't fiction!
Just a natural fact!
We come together cause…
Opposites Attract!
I take two steps forward! Two steps back!
We come together 'cause opposites attract!
And you know, it ain't fiction!
Just a natural fact!
We come together cause…
Opposites Attract!
I take two steps forward! Two steps back!
We come together 'cause opposites attract!
And you know, it ain't fiction!
Just a natural fact!
We come together cause…
Opposites Attract!}
When the lyrics came up that pointed out the last part of the song, Danny and Maria actually started to show some tap-dancing moves! While their shoes did not make the noise that one would associate with regular tap-dancing shoes, they were moving very much like the stars in the music video when their song was just about up. The crowd was cheering loudly, whistling and hollering at the duo as they continued to show some slick moves! When the lyrics started to fade, it ended up with Maria and Danny looking at each other… faces close to one another, their eyes locked on each other, panting hard from the exertion they put their bodies while dancing, a light sheen of sweat on certain places on their beings… and a blush settling in that made the scene very much real and timeless for them. Smiles were adorned on their faces, the two just lost in each other's eyes for the time being.
It was broken when they finally came back down to earth, hearing the cheering from the crowd! They looked around and saw that they had gained the whole club's attention! The two broke away, but not too far away from one another, as their blushed increased from having so many eyes on them. Boys and girls, men and women, congratulated the duo as D.J. Marka hollered out over his headset, "WHOO! Now that was some excellent moves shown by an excellent couple! Let's give it up one more time for these two! Come on everyone in the house, give it up!". His words had the desired effect as the patrons cheering increased moderately!
Danny was blushing up a storm, not really meaning to have so much attention on himself. Maria was in the same boat, a shy little lady but not too shy as she was enjoying the attention. Her new friend led her back to their table, the duo being greeted/congratulated by various means. Danny shook hands with others, while some of the more rowdy young men slapped him on the back hard but it was in good fun for putting on such a good show. Maria was shaking hands with some of the ladies there, as they paid her compliments for dancing so well.
When they got back to their table and seats, Danny looked to her and asked, "Well… hope I didn't step on your toes much when we danced!". He had to shout for now since the club was once again back in high gear, the patrons being loud as per the norm.
Maria laughed and answered, "Not at all! Danny, you were awesome on the floor! It was so much fun dancing with you like that! I hope we do this more often!". The Fenton halfa was glad to see his new friend having a good time, her smile and laugh making him feel warm all over.
One thing was for certain as they continued to look at each while they drank the rest of their beverages was this, 'This is really the start of something good! I know it!'.
Danny was so distracted at the moment, he didn't sense that the club had company… of the supernatural variety! Up in the rafters where no one could see them were four ghosts! To be more specific, four female spirits that had witnessed the whole thing! It was Dora, Kitty, Ember and Penelope Spectra.
Kitty had been bored in the Ghost Zone a.k.a. Purgatory, so she rounded up some of her girl friends to cause a little mischief in the human world. Johnny 13 was once again being uncooperative, having been beat by Danny again some days ago. And rather than spending some quality time with his lady, he spent it cavorting around with other female spirits. So now, she figured to not waste a weekend holding onto the biker fool. It was easy to gather Ember and Spectra, but the hardest one was Dora. The blonde beauty was still trying to bring her kingdom to being more modern, since it was Danny Phantom that helped her to overthrow her uncouth and barbaric brother.
Ember, Kitty and Spectra did some coaxing for the princess, telling her to get out some more and enjoy herself with them. Dora knew that running the kingdom was putting a strain on her social life, so she agreed to go with them… but she would NOT participate in scaring the mortals, as it would incur the wrath of the halfa. In truth, Dora was very much smitten with the unique being but she kept it well hidden from the others.
The four had gone to the mortal realm, and had traveled to the club to see what was going on. And also preparing to scare the young patrons out of their wits! However, they stalled when they saw that Danny was there… and their surprise increased when he actually was dancing on the stage, and with a girl no less!
Ember stated, "Heh, got to give it to baby pop. He has some moves, but I think he can do much better than that old song.". As one would guess, Ember was not a particular fan of pop genre music.
Kitty actually had a soft smile on as she spoke, "You got that right on the moves. I wish I had found that out earlier before when I was possessing that Paulina brat.". Truth be told, Kitty had found out the real reason why Danny acted the way he did so that she could go back to Johnny. She really didn't mean to be clingy like she did, but she was very much starved to find a good man to be hers. And she found it in Danny. And like Dora, she too still had a small crush on the halfa hero but hid it well from both her current beau and the others.
Spectra scoffed and whined, "Come on, let's go somewhere else! This place has too many positive emotions, and I rather like to feast on misery and angst brats!". The specter was a psychic vampire of sort that loved to feed on the negative emotions of mortals, gaining youth, beauty and strength in the process.
Dora smiled and stated, "It is good to see Danny making a new friend, though I wonder on who she is?". While the dragon princess learned to control her emotions and also not be petty & vindictive like a certain redhead that was in their company now, she was wondering if the girl would be a rival for Dany's affections.
Ember shook her head and stated, "Well, let's get out of here and see if we can make some chaos somewhere else. I think we can let baby pop enjoy his night… at least for now. Come tomorrow, all bets are off!". The lady spirits agreed with her, soon phasing through the roof and going off into the distance somewhere else.
As they left the club, Dora and Kitty were wondering on who Danny's new friend was… and if she would be an addition to Phantom's team in the future.
(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for the night! Whew! Now this was a good one-shot birthday special to make! I hope my friend Dreams Come True 996 likes this!
Before anything else is said, I want to give praise and thanks to God! Lord, thanks for looking after my friend on her birthday! Please be with her always on her special day, and every day after that! Jesus, thank you again for aiding me in my story endeavors and I hope to really honor and praise you in my future stories! Thank you again God for everything!
So Danny has a new friend, and who knows what will happen in the future! Will it blossom into something beautiful? Or will it wither away? Time will tell, and also for those who wish to continue this particular story on their own! Also, I hope that my Author friend Marka Ragnos629 likes how I put him as the D.J. for this story! Best I could do, my friend!
Now for the questions! Ahem…
What would you do to cheer Danny up after hearing his problems that have been plaguing him so far?
What would you share with Danny and Maria if you were introduced into the conversation?
What would you do at seeing Danny and Maria dancing on stage to the song?
If you requested it, what would song/music would you like to see Danny dance to?
And finally this… if Danny had been asked by Kitty or Dora to dance, what kind of song/music would fit the Danny x Dora/Danny x Kitty couple? And why?
R&R, no flames, enjoy and leave long reviews!)
