Told ya! I've got about half an hour between classes, so I decided to update both of my stories. Yay! I know the chapters are a little short, but this one's a little long, too.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or Lois and Clark. Although, I wouldn't mind owning Jimmy. Hee, hee.

Chapter III: Meeting the Phantom

Danny ran as fast as he could to the alleyway behind his house. (A/N: You ever notice there's a lot of deserted alleyways in Amity Park?) saying, "Goin' Ghost!" as he soon as he had rounded the corner. Two blue-white rings appeared at his waist and split, going opposite ways. Black hair turned white and ice-blue eyes turned neon-green. A black-and-white jumpsuit with his DP emblem replaced his T-shirt and blue jeans. In a few seconds, Danny Fenton was now his alter-ego Danny Phantom. Danny took off from the ground and flew towards Sam's at full speed.

Once there, he phased through her bedroom. She was sitting cross-legged on her bed, listening to a Goth CD through her earphones. He turned tangible and visible and touched her shoulder lightly. Her head shot up, and she grinned as she turned off her earphones, and took them off.

"Hi, Danny," she said. Then she noticed his expression. "What's wrong?"

"Can you run a search on the Daily Planet for me?" he asked, changing back into human mode and sitting beside her.

"Forget that. Let's just go their website," she said, pulling it up on her laptop.

"'dailyplanet(dot)com'," he read. "That makes sense." The website had the Daily Planet logo, a Saturn-like world, on the top. The front page had several pieces, but the one at the top had the byline of Lane and Kent. Pictures of the two accompanied their names.

"That's them!" said Danny.

Sam frowned. "Who's what?" she asked.

"Those two," he said, pointing at the pictures, "are here to do a story on 'Danny Phantom'."

Sam winced. "Ouch. You're gonna have to keep a low profile the next couple of days."

"Yeah, I know. Maybe the ghosts will actually take a break."

As if on cue, Danny's ghost sense went off.

"Scratch that," he muttered, changing into his Phantom form. He phased out, and saw none other than the Box Ghost.

"Oy, don't you have anything else to do?" he yelled, firing an ecto-blast.

"Beware! For I am the Box Ghost!" The ghost took off toward a storage shop and phased through. Danny followed. Unknown to Danny however, Lois and Clark had been walking past the storage shop when Danny and the Box Ghost flew past.

"Look, Lois, there he goes!" Clark said. He ran after them with Lois on his ankles. They followed Danny until he phased through the door. Clark quickly looked around and grabbed the door handle, breaking it in the process, and they hurried in.

They watched as the boy blasted the blue ghost with a strange energy orb.

"Can't you leave me alone for one day?" he shouted at the ghost. "I don't get enough time to study for Lancer's tests anyway!"

Lois and Clark looked at each other. Did the ghost boy attend the local high school? The boy reached behind his back and pulled out a thermos. He uncapped the top and pointed the thermos at the ghost. A bright blue light came out and sucked the ghost in.

"Well, at least fighting him is getting easier." Danny muttered, capping the top back on. He started to fly away when he heard someone yell, "Wait!"

He looked down to see Lois coming out from behind some boxes. Her partner came out too. Great, what do they want now? he thought. Danny floated down and landed in front of her.

Lois was surprised he had heard her. The boy had snowy-white hair and neon-green eyes, and was wearing a black-and-white jumpsuit with an emblem on it.

"What do you want?" Lois noted his voice had an echo to it.

"We're here to interview you," said Lois.

Danny folded his arms over his chest. "Why?" he asked.

Lois was surprised. "We thought you might want some good publicity. We want to know about you, your life story, well, afterlife, actually," she amended.

Danny looked at her. They really were sincere about all this. They actually wanted to help him.

"When do you want to do the interview? Now?"

Lois looked at her watch. "We would, but we promised the Fentons we'd be back in time for dinner. We're spending the night there in case you want to pop in."

Danny nodded. "See you around then." Before they could say good-bye, he had already taken off through the roof.

Lois was a little shaky. She had seen a ghost that had haunted her house, but this ghost was different. His eyes seemed to burn straight through her, as if he were trying to see inside her mind. But at the same time, something was familiar about him…

Small cliffie, I know, but I'll try to update, say, tomorrow afternoon, or Wednesday. I've got another test Thursday, so I'm playing this by ear.
