Fable of a Phantom
Mystery Meat
"So, Danny." said Jack while looking at the three teenagers who were sitting in front of him. They are Danny, Tucker and Sam who were just bored out of their mind listening to him.
"You and your little friends want to hunt ghosts." said Jack
"Ah, ac-ac-actually, Dad? I...want to be an astronaut." said Danny
"Sorry, Mr. Fenton. I was into ghosts, but they're so mainstream now. They're like cell phones." said Sam.
"Waste these looks and all this charisma hunting ghosts? Criminal." said Tucker. Danny just turned his head and gave him the "oh please" face.
"Well, if you do want to hunt ghost..." said Jack but then Danny's ghost sense went on alert.
"Uh, oh" said Danny. Just then the ghost portal opened and two octopuses ghosts escaped from the machine. They then grabbed Tucker and Sam and tried to fly away but then Danny changed into Danny Phantom and grabbed the two ghosts. Danny quickly used his electricity powers to form a whip to eletrify the two ghosts. He then started spinning them at a speed and threw them into the portal. Sam and Tucker were then back on their seats shaking due to what they just saw. Danny however just sat back on his seat like nothing ever happened.
"You kids, look at cha! You're too excited to speak! So I'll just go on speaking.I was born many years ago in a log cabin in the 't exactly remember where, but I do remember I wanted a pony. Never got the pony. As a matter of fact we had to eat horsemeat during the war. Had a problem with that.
"And that is the Fenton Portal. It gives us the ability to go into the ghost world." said Jack.
After that scene, Sam and Tucker just decided to go home after facing that traumatic experience. Danny also went upstairs trying to meditate to control his ghost powers. He was train in the arts of magic by the masters of Albion but his ghosts powers became a bit uncontrollable.
"I wish I could speak to the masters about these new powers. At least they taught me the ways to control my magic powers... hopefully these powers will be the same." said Danny as he was observing his hand but then it went invisible by it self.
Next Day
Danny's mom was wearing the hood of her blue jumpsuit and began putting some final touches using a torch on her new invention. Near her was a girl with orange hair who was Danny's older sister, she then glanced up from her book that she was reading to look at her mom with annoyance before sticking her nose back in her book again. Danny however was just enjoying his breakfast cereal until his hand became intangible and dropped the spoon. His sister turned to see but Danny then quickly hid his hand.
"(Come on change!)" thought Danny as he started concentrating. He could then feel his hand return to normal.
"Gah! I don't know why this device keeps on saying that Danny's a ghost? This thing must be busted." said Danny's mom.
"Oh don't worry about it Maddie, I'm sure that we can fix it. Beside there's no way my son can be a ghost." said Jack which gave Danny a concerned look.
"Actually there's something I have to tell you." said Danny but then his sister stood up.
"That's not all you need, Danny. You need guidance. And parents who can provide it." said Danny's sister.
"Jazz, I know what we do doesn't make sense sometimes, but you're only-" said Maddie to be cut off but Jazz.
"Sixteen. Biologically! But psychologically, I'm an adult! And I will not allow your insane obsession with ghosts to pollute the mind of this impressionable little child! Come, you abused, unwanted wretch. I'll drive you to school." said Jazz as he took Danny away.
Jazz and Danny then got into her car and they started driving away.
"Danny, I want you to know that there is nothing you need to worry about. If you need to talk about anything, then don't hesitate to talk to me brother." offered Jazz as she carried on driving.
"Thanks Jazz." appreciated Danny as he smiled at her ad enjoyed the ride.
They then carried on driving until they got to Danny's school. Danny then got out of his sisters car and waved goodbye to his sister. Danny was about to enter into the school but then he saw Sam and Tucker headed his way. They then got together and headed inside. They went to their regular classes but then it was finally time for lunch.
"Man, I can't wait to have lunch. Today is sloppy joes!" said Tucker as he started drooling.
"Well too bad you won't be getting any of it." said Sam which surprised both Tucker and Danny.
"What do you mean Sam?" asked Danny.
"I made the school board agree to try a new cafeteria menu. I made em change to veggies." replied Sam with pride.
"Wait, WHAT?! So you're telling me there's gonna be no meat today?!" cried Tucker
"Yep, it'll be nice for you to have something that didn't have a face on it." said Sam.
They then got into the cafeteria and they waited in line to get their lunch. But it wasn't something that they were going to consider lunch.
"Sam, what is this? Grass on a bun?" asked Danny.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" yelled Tucker.
"Tucker, it's time for a change" replied Sam with a pleased face.
"Even so, this was a bit too extreme." said Danny.
"Ah, Miss Manson. The school-board wanted me to personally thank you for ushering in this welcome experiment to our cafeteria." thanked Lancer
"Meat! Near!" said Tucker as he was sniffing Lancer.
"No, no. The rumors about the new all-steak buffet in the teacher's lounge are completely untrue. Thanks again" said Lancer as he ran off.
"Thanks for making us eat garbage." groaned Tucker.
"It's not garbage!" said Sam as she lifted her "grass on her bun."
"It's garbage!" said Danny and Tucker at the same time. Just then Danny's ghost sense activated, he then looked around to see lunch lady ghost go into the cafeteria.
"Guys! We have a problem." said Danny as he was about to stand up but then...
"FENTON!" said a Jock storming towards Danny.
"Two problems. (But I gladly rather face this one instead of that ghost.)" said Danny.
" I ordered three mud-pies. Do you know what they gave me? Three mud-pies. With MUD! FROM THE GROUND! All because of your girlfriend!" said the jock.
"I'm not his girlfriend!" said Sam but Danny just stood up in front of the Jock.
"These are the best years of my life! After high school, it's all downhill for me! How am I supposed to enjoy my glory days eating mud!?" asked the Jock.
"Hey! They're not mud, they're top-soil!" said Sam as she tried to get closer but then the Jock turned around and pushed her away causing her to fall to the ground. Danny then just clenched his fist and walked towards the Jock.
"What? You mad cos I hit your girlfriend?" mocked Jock as he about to punch Danny but then Danny caught his fist surprising the entire crowd. Danny then just stared at the jock.
"(Eat that mud and get out of here)" demanded Danny through his mind which made the Jock then grab the mud and eat it.
"This mud is gross!" cried the jock as he then ran out crying. Danny then quickly rushed over to Sam.
"Sam, are you okay?" asked Danny as he helped her up.
"I've had worse. Thanks Danny." appreciated Sam as she stood up.
"No problem Sam, I'm just glad you're okay." said Danny which made Sam blush. "but anyways, come on! We have bigger problems to solve!" said Danny as he quickly rushed inside the kitchen. They then entered the kitchen and saw the ghost looking around the kitchen.
"Oh man, she looks a little like my grandma." said Tucker.
"Shouldn't she be haunting a bingo hall?" asked Danny.
"Hello, children. Can you help me? Today's lunch is meatloaf, but I don't see the meatloaf. Did someone change the menu?" asked the ghost in a kind manner.
"Yeah. She did." said Tucker pointing at Sam.
"YOU CHANGED THE MENU!? THE MENU HAS BEEN THE SAME FOR FIFTY YEARS!" cried the ghost as she was bursting with anger and her hair became fire.
"Get behind me!" said Danny and then two moved behind Danny.
"Wow, I feel safe." said Sam sarcastically.
"I'm going ghost!" said Danny as a white ring then seperated while tranforming Danny into his ghost form. His outfit was his original black suit with his white and black colour. Danny's eyes turned neon green and his hair turned white.
"Whoa, nice look dude." complimented Tucker.
"Thanks!" appreciated Danny as he charged at the ghost. "Now leave before I have to make you!" said Danny as he charged electricity into his hands.
"You must be new to this." said the lunch lady. Her hand then started glowing, all of a sudden all the dishes around them started glowing as well. The dishes then started flying towards Danny.
"Too easy!" said Danny as he blasted electricity to each of the plates that were flying towards him. This was no problem for him since he trained his accuracy and magic back at Albion. The Lunch lady then sent dishes flying towards Tucker and Sam but Danny quickly flew down and stood in front of them and used his magic to create a mana shield to endure getting hit from the dishes.
"I control lunch! Lunch is sacred! Anybody want cake?" asked Lunch Lady but Tucker and Sam just nod their heads in fear. "Too bad! Children who change my menu do not get dessert!". She then uses her power to control the stoves and blasted flames towards Sam and Tucker.
Danny was already weak using up his mana to create a shield and lightning, so he quickly grabbed Sam and Tucker and turned them intangible. He then pulled them through the wall and escaped he fire.
"Wow, I'm getting better at this." said Danny as he was looking at his hand.
"This is the thanks I get for being an individual?" asked Sam.
Just then a strong wind flew through the hallway causing all of the lockers to smack open but there was meat flying through the hall as well.
"Steak...! Ribeye...! Porthouse...! Medium-rare...!" said Tucker as he was sniffing around for the source of the smell.
"Prepare to learn why meat is the most powerful of the five food groups!" yelled The lunch lady as the meat started spinning around her and transformed her into a meat monster. She was about to hit Sam but Danny quickly grabbed Sam and Tucker and flew away.
"Not good! I feel like I'm losing control." said Danny as his body then changed back into his human then fell straight to the ground. The lunch lady then caught up with them and hit Danny and tucker away. Luckily Danny used his physical shield with his Mana to reduce the damage.
"As for you! You're coming with me!" said the lunch lady as she became intangible and took Sam with her.
"SAM!" cried Danny as he rushed over to catch her but it was too late. Danny then punched the ground. "Dammit! Change back!"
"Oh man! We have to go and save her!" exclaimed Tucker.
"You two aren't going anywhere." said Lancer as he grabbed their hands and took them away.
A few minutes of lecturing later
"We gotta find Sam. For some reason, I feel like I got her kidnapped." said Tucker.
"Maybe because you told the ghost she changed the menu, how about that?" said Danny.
"That steak is still in the building. 200 yards, tops." said Tucker.
"Not sure if I should be creeped out or amazed. But come on, we need to go!" said Danny as he grabbed Tucker and went intangible.
"Dude check out this trail of meat!" said Tucker as he was about to drool.
"Tucker, now is not the time! We need to help Sam!" said Danny as he started flying towards the source of meat. They then Sam trapped in a pile of meat and the Lunch Lady trying to make her eat some.
"Okay! We need to get Sam out of that meat. So let me take care of the ghost and you help Sam get out." explained Danny.
"Way ahead of you." said Tucker as he took out a knife and fork.
Danny then flew straight towards the Lunch Lady and punched her, sending her crashing to a wall. While Tucker on the other hand was cutting the meat with this knife and fork.
"No worries Sam! I'll have you free in no time!" said Tucker as he started cutting.
"You've gotta be kidding me!" said Sam.
Danny did a somersault in the air trying to kick the ghost but the lunch lady quickly grabs Danny's legs and flings him away.
"Don't you see!? This is why you need meat! You're skin and bones!" said the lunch lady as she threw Danny but Danny became intangible and went right through the walls.
"Okay! Time to bust out some magic!" said Danny as he charged his hands with lightning. He then flew through the wall and blasted electricity to the lunch lady but she created a meat barrier to stop the attack. She then opened a box of skewers and sent it flying towards Danny but Danny reformed his body like a snake to dodge the skewers.
"Woah, didn't know I could do that." said Danny as he turned back.
"I've had enough!" said the Lunch Lady as she gathered all the meat around her and all the meat started flying towards her, including the tiny piece that was on Tuckers fork.
"Oh come on!" cried Tucker as the meat flew to the Lunch Lady. The meat then started circling on the lunch lady and then the meat transformed her into the meat form again. She then tries to grab Danny but he turned his lightning into whips and slicked her hand but it kept on regenerating.
Danny tried his best to carry on slicing the hand but she just carried on regenerating. The lightning then dissapeared from Danny's hands due to the lac of mana. The lunch lady took the opportunity to grab Danny. She then threw him to the wall but Danny once again became intangible and went through the wall. She then turned to Tucker and Sam and screamed.
"Um...run?" said Tucker.
"Run." said Sam as they both started running. Both of them tried to head for the exit but then the lunch lady blocked it with her meat barrier. Tucker and Sam then tried to run the other way but the lunch lady almost caught up to him. Danny then flew at top speed and grabbed the two and made them intangible. He then flew right through the wall but collapsed due to fatigue.
Fenton Works (Danny's Room)
Danny was finally gaining conscious as he was opening his eyes. He then saw Tucker and Sam in front of him.
"Guys...(groan) what happened?" said Danny.
"We had to pick you up since you were tired. You were asleep for four days." said Tucker.
"4 days?!" said Danny. Sam then punched Tuckers arm.
"Knock it off, he's only been asleep for a few hours. Seriously because of you, we almost got killed!" said Sam.
"Me! You're the reason why she went of rampage to begin with! Because you took away the meat but I'm gonna get it back!" said Tucker as he left.
"You want to change that menu back!? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME TO DO IT!" said Sam as she left as well. Danny was just watching as his two best friends argued and left.
"(This has been one crazy day. I just hope everything is gonna be fine tomorrow.)" thought Danny as he carried on sleeping.
Next Day
"(Nope, it's worse.)" thought Danny.
There were two sides that were protesting against each other. One was meat and the other was veggies, they were both cheering for their side to be lunch menu.
"Tucker, Sam? How did ou guys put together two protests in one night?" said Danny.
" Meat-eaters, Danny. Always ready to fight. And our high-protein diets give us the energy we need to do it quickly." said Tucker.
"Ultra Recyclo-vegetarians are always ready to protest. And because we don't have waste time cooking our food, we can move even faster." said Sam.
"So whose side are you on?" said Tucker and Sam at the same time but just as Danny was about to answer he looked back to see a strong wind take all the meat as it transformed it self into a meat monster.
"LUNCH TIME!" said the Lunch lady. Everyone was then running around and screaming because of the giant meat monster.
"Meat, why have you betrayed me?!" said Tucker.
"Guys! You need to make up now! I need your help to defeat this thing!" said Danny as he transformed after getting cover from Tucker and then flew up to the ghost and charged his feet with electricity to get a strong impact. Danny then kicked the ghosts head and its head completely flew off.
"Man he's getting better at this." said Tucker but the meat monsters head regenerated and punched Danny sending him flying to air. Danny kept on going higher until he regained consciousness. He then started charging up his lightning again and started charging straight down to the ghost but with the speed that he was going down with, his lightning changed into fire. He then crashed straight into the ghost sending the meat flying everywhere.
"Oh my what a mess. Are you okay dearie?" said the Lunch lady.
"Yeah, I'm fine." said Danny.
"TOUGH! BECAUSE YOU BEING OKAY IS NOT PART OF MY BALANCED DIET OF DOOM!" said the Lunch lady. Just then the meat all started transforming into meat minions.
"Can I ask? How do you like your meat?" said Danny as he started charging up his mana.
"Why I like them medium rare." said the Lunch lady.
"Well too bad they're about to be over cooked!" said Danny as he unleashed a blast of fire which burnt the meat into a crisp.
"NO! MY MEAT!" said the lunch lady.
"I can't believe it! That was fireball, I learned a new spell!" said Danny but the lunch lady grabbed Danny by then collar and sent him flying across the school. Danny then landed and tranformed back into his normal self.
"Oh man! What am I gonna do?" said Danny but then he noticed that Jack, Maddie and Jazz were talking to each other but Jack threw away a thermos."That's it!" said Danny as he rushed over to pick up the thermos.
"Danny? What are you doing with the Fenton Thermos?" said Maddie.
"No time mom, problem, meat ghost!" said Danny as he ran to the other side as transformed back into Phantom.
"Did he say ghost?" said Maddie.
"Hah! I knew ghosts were real!" said Jack as he went after Danny to help.
Back with Sam and Tucker
Sam was trying get out of her pile of meat and she was disgusted feeling the meat all over her body. She then saw Tucker who was stuck on a pile of meat. She quickly rushed over to help Tucker get out.
"Tucker? You okay?" said Sam as she was pushing away the meat.
"Thanks Sam, this is the first time I have to say I didn't want to have meat anywhere near me." said Tucker as he brushed off the meat on his shirt.
"Look Tucker, Danny was right. We should make up. I'm sorry about this, maybe I was a bit over the top with the lunch choice. I just wanted people to try something new for once." said Sam.
"I'm sorry too Sam. I guess I was too much of a pig to even try eating healthy." said Tucker but then they both started laughing.
"Oh how nice. You two made up but its too late!" said the Lunch lady as she was about to attack Tucker and Sam.
"Don't think so!" said Danny as he intercepted and punched the lunch lady out of the way.
"I just hope this works!" said Danny as he started charging up the thermos. He then pointed towards the Lunch lady who was hit by the blue beam which sucked her into the thermos.
"Wow, it worked." said Danny as he transformed back into his human form.
"Dude that was awesome!" said Tucker.
"That's not all, check this out." said Danny as he created a mini fireball.
"Whoa, you can make fire now?" said Sam.
"Yep. You know what I think I might've finally figured out what these powers are for. They make me-" said Danny but then...
"In a world of trouble!" said Lancer.
Danny, Sam and Tucker got into trouble for the whole mess. They had to stay behind and clean up the entire mess of meat and vegetables. Though after a few hours of cleaning, they were finally able to finish.
"Man, am I glad that's over with." said Tucker.
"Me too, I don't think I've ever touched that much meat before." said Sam.
"Well whatever I'm going home. I need a shower." said Danny as he started walking. Tucker was walking his own way home but Sam was walking with Danny. As Danny and Sam were walking, Danny could immediately tell that something was wrong with Sam.
"Sam, what's wrong?" said Danny.
"Oh it's nothing." said Sam.
"You know you shouldn't lie to me since I can tell about peoples feelings by listening to their heart." said Danny.
"Well, I thought that this was all my fault. I mean I tried to be an individual and change the school but all I did was make more trouble. Maybe it was better off that I don't even bother anymore." said Sam.
"Sam, what you were doing was really admirable. You wanted to make a change for the school (for the better or the worst) and you weren't afraid to do it. You stuck to your need to change the school and showed everyone that with that extra hard work you can do anything. That's what makes me proud to be your friend. And know that if there is anything you need, I'll always be there to stand by you, no matter what." said Danny as he smiled at Sam.
Sam just blushed and smiled back at Danny. Danny then dropped off Sam to her house and waved goodbye as he went to his own house. But once Sam got home she just took a shower and went straight to bed but as she was trying to fall asleep, se just couldn't help but remember Danny's smile.
"…..stand by you, huh...I hope I can stand next to you as well Danny." said Sam as she hugged her pillow.
