Fable of a Phantom

Meet the Huntress

Danny was currently at Pandora's castle, he had begun his intense training under Pandora. Pandora decided to train Danny in both his mind and body. She began with his body and started making him learn the different fighting styles of the world. It started with Taekwondo, then it moved onto Boxing, after that came Capoeira, next was Kung fu and finally wing chun. Normally it would take years for anyone to master these many fighting techniques but thanks to the help of Pandora and her intense training regime, Danny was able to pick it up in a matter of months. However with techniques came the harsh training, Danny had to do at least 300 push ups a day with a boulder on his back which would normally just kill a man but Danny was more then just a man. He was a hero and with it came his "never give up" determination. He found it extremely difficult but after a while he finally completed it.

Next came the training of his mind

Danny trained his mind by visiting the grand library of wisdom in Pandora's castle. There he was able to learn a lot about the different types of ghosts and their weaknesses. However he didn't only learn about ghosts and their history, he also learned about the magic of Albion. Apparently Pandora was also one of the visitors there and she was a legendary warrior. However she never gave her identity away to the people so that she could remain anonymous. Pandora was also there to learn about their magic and their history. She learned the power of magic crafting and made scrolls containing the different spells to help others learn. With those scrolls, Danny was able to learn new magic such as light blade. An ability which allows one to create tiny blades which will fly towards the enemy. Next was ghost swords, as the name suggest the user can summon forth a group of swords which will immediately start fighting away any enemy the user sees.

Danny also began training his old techniques, his lightning increased to a great potential. Instead of just using lightning from his arms, he was able to transfer the power all over his body. He could create gigantic lightning fists and feet. Danny even trained his force abilities to their absolute limit to be able to sense his opponents and their actions. He could now turn his surroundings black and white, he could sense their aura and prepare for anything headed his way. Also if he ever ran out of mana, he was able to concentrate his mind to increase the charge of his mana.

Next came the 100 mile run

Though it was far distance. Danny was able to keep up his speed and run with no hesitation. However Pandora decided to make it a lot more difficult and have some minotaur's chasing after him to make the challenge a bit more difficult. And man did it work, Danny running at the top speed and not looking back to see if he got away or not. Danny wasn't really keen on the ideas of her training but he decided to stick to it and finish it since he knew that it was all for is benefit.

After a very long run

Danny was on the ground panting after his long run. Normally he wouldn't mind a run for his training but when it's a 100 miles and with minotaur's chasing you, he had to run like no tomorrow.

"I see you finally completed the run Danny." said Pandora as she flew down with a bottle of water and a towel. She then went over to him and passed it over. Danny then began drinking the water and wiped off his sweat with the towel.

"Yeah, I mean after doing it every single day for the past few months. I finally got use to it." said Danny.

"That's good, your body is adjusting to the difficulty. I know it may not seem like much but you've definitely gotten a whole stronger. Even without your ghost powers, you're strong enough to lift tons." said an impressed Pandora. Danny's sheer determination to protect those who he cared about was the reason why Pandora actually started to develop feelings for him.

"By the way Pandora, there's something I wanted to know. You taught me two new spells and made me learn all types of fighting styles. But how come you haven't taught me any of your techniques?" asked Danny.

"I see you caught me. The truth is Danny, I wanted to train your human side before progressing onto the ghost side. Remember how you told me that you had to rely on your magic powers when fighting Skulker? Well maybe it was time you learned more ways to defend yourself other than your ghost powers and magic. But you're right, I have been holding back on teaching you the advance techniques." admitted Pandora.

"But why? I knew what you were teaching me seemed a bit too...simple. Well for your standard." said Danny.

"That's because it was the basics. There were some things you needed to learn before learning my style." said Pandora.

"Those were just basics? Learning all those fighting techniques, 300 push ups with a boulder on my back, running 100 miles with minotaur's chasing me...those were all basics?" asked Danny in disbelief. He knew that the training was gonna be rough but...seriously, those were just basics?!

"Indeed, I had to make sure that you would be prepared for the real technique. The art of the Silent Ghost." said Pandora.

"The art of the Silent Ghost?" asked Danny.

"Yes Danny, it is a fighting style that I created which takes advantage of the ghosts powers. However before learning this style, you needed to learn all the other techniques and get your body into shape." explained Pandora.

"So that's why you were pushing me to my limit with this training." said Danny.

"Exactly. This style required a lot of strength and speed to use it to it's full potential. This fighting style is like a bamboo. It maybe firm but it's also flexible, rooted yet yielding. With a well balanced body like yours, you will be able to recover more quickly from stalled attacks. Not to mention with your structure, you'll be able to deflect external forces or even re-direct them with ease." explained Pandora. Danny then realised that the training was definitely well worth the benefits, his strength and speed were really increased and he could take on his enemies even in his human form.

"Alright then! When do we start?" asked Danny.

"Not today...I think you need to take it easy for a while. Your body may be ready but resting is still important. So I guess we can begin in a week." offered Pandora.

"Okay then, I'll take that." said Danny as he transformed into his ghost form and got ready to take off. "Oh and what about you?" asked Danny.

"Me? What about me?" asked Pandora.

"Well, what are you gonna do for a week?" asked Danny.

"Well, I was gonna spend the time in my castle. There were a few books I was going to read." said Pandora.

"Well, do you wanna come hang out with us?" asked Danny. Pandora was actually surprised at the invitation. Ghosts wouldn't normally offer to hang out with her due to her size and attitude but Danny was more then happy to spend time with her.

"Are you sure? Wouldn't I just get in the way?" asked Pandora as she looked at the ground. But then Danny quickly flew over to her and grabbed one of her arms.

"There's no way that you would get in the way. If anything, I want you to hang out with me." offered Danny with a warm smile. Pandora couldn't help but blush at the offer and smiled back.

"U-um...okay." accepted Pandora.

"Great, I'll see you at 1." said Danny as he flew off. Pandora then stared at the hand that Danny touched and blew a kiss towards his direction.

Amity Park...Park

Sitting in the middle of the park was Amber, Desera, Kitty, Dorothy and Star. Amber was currently tuning her guitar, Desera was reading a magazine and Star, Dorothy, Kitty were doing some homework. They were all bored since they weren't able to hang out with Danny after the events of Pandora's box. Danny would immediately go into the ghost zone after school but the girls knew the real reason why he was going. Except for Ember and Desiree since they didn't know about his connection to Pandora.

"Hey guys?" asked Kitty as she was still doing her homework. No one really responded and just carried on doing their current activity. "Don't you think that Danny's been hanging out with Pandora a lot lately?"

Immediately after she said that, Desera and Amber turned over to Kitty in surprise. Kitty was shocked at the glare that they were giving her.

"Was...it something I said?" asked Kitty. Amber and Desera then rushed over and sat next to Kitty.

"D-did...did you say that Danny was hanging out with...Pandora?" asked Amber. Kitty was too afraid to answer and just quietly nodded. After hearing that, both Desera and Amber just collapsed to the ground.

"Are they okay?" asked Star.

"Yeah they're fine but I dunno why they're acting this way." explained Kitty. The two then immediately stand back up and stared at the two.

"Don't you know why we're afraid?!" asked both Desera and Amber. The three then looked over to them and just shook their head.

"Well...it happened like this." started Amber.

2 years ago

Ember was flying off in the ghost zone with a bag of instrument tools and her guitar. She didn't really have a normal route home so she decided to take a short cut. Which was conveniently past Pandora's castle. After flying through the castle, she was able to cross paths with Desiree who was back after her own shopping.

"Oh hey Desiree, what are you doing here?" asked Ember as she got closer to Desiree.

"I just got back from...shopping." said Desiree. The two then suddenly ended up hearing a large crash from Pandora's castle.

"What was that?" asked Ember.

"Probably Pandora. There isn't a single moment where she can just act like a normal girl. Being a goddess, she doesn't really have a lot of time for herself. I definitely don't want to see her when she's mad." explained Desiree.

"Is she really that bad?" asked Ember.

Just then another crash came from Pandora's Castle but this time, Pandora was chasing after a random ghost. She was blasting away fire from her hands while the ghost was running off for his after life.

"YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!" cried Pandora a she carried on blasting fire. Ember and Desiree just watched as the goddess carried on blasting huge waves of fire at the tiny ghost. Pandora then caught up to the ghost and slapped it to the ground. "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR EATING MY STRAWBERRY CAKE!"

Ember and Desiree just had a poker face at the reason why Pandora was really angry. Seriously, a goddess of the greek was chasing a ghost for it's afterlife just because it ate her last cake. Pandora then turned to see that she was being watched by two girls.

"Oh hello girls, I'm sorry you had to see me like that. You know what happens when we get a little angry." said Pandora.

"(A...little angry?)" thought Ember and Desiree.

"Well I must get going. I have some...hunting to do." said Pandora as she flew off. Ember and Desiree were still shaken up from the sight of the angry ghost.

"Guess...I'll be going now." said Ember as she was still trembling.

"M-me too. S-see ya." said Desiree as she flew off.

And now

"Whoa, she's that bad?" asked Star. Amber and Desera were still trembling at the memory and just silently nodded.

"Well the good news is she's not visited for a very long time so I doubt she'll be raging out here." said Star.

"Who'll be raging out?" asked Danny standing behind Star. "DANNY!" cried all the girls. As soon as all the girls noticed Danny, they quickly jumped on him and pushed him to the ground.

"Um...hi guys." said Danny.

"Danny where have you been all this time?" asked Desera.

"Yeah, you've been going into the ghost zone directly after school." said Amber.

"Well, it's because I was training with Pandora. She offered to train me and it's really helped me out." explained Danny. At that point, Amber and Desera just had a sigh of relief. They were thinking that they were going to have more competition. Especially against a goddess who they really wouldn't like when angered.

"But really? How come you didn't tell us? We were really worried you know." said Star as she got closer and hugged Danny.

"Guys, I'm really sorry. Tell ya what, why don't I treat you all to a movie?" offered Danny.

"Yeah!" agreed all the girls.

"Great, how about at 1?" asked Danny. The girls nodded. "Okay then, I need to go home for now. I really need a shower." Danny then transformed and flew off. Desera and Amber then finally calmed down from all the excitement.

"What's up with you two?" asked Dora.

"We're just glad that Pandora's not part of the competition. After what we had to experience, I hope I never have to see her again." said Desera with relief.

"Yeah, if she ever got into Danny, then things would definitely be...different." said Amber.

"So you'd give up?" asked Star.

"Hell no, I'd just have to use a different... approach to be with Danny. Just when, Pandora's not around." said Amber.

"Well, there's no need to worry today. It's just gonna be us and Danny. Though I would've preferred it if he just chose one of us." admitted Kitty with a bit of disappointment.

"Yeah, I agree. But hey, at least we get to spend the day with Danny after all this time. So we may as well appreciate it while we can right?" said Dorothy.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm gonna be go and get ready." said Desera as she walked off. All the others went their separate ways to get ready. They all wanted to appeal to Danny as much as they could after all this time.

After an hour, Amity Park cinema

Danny was just waiting for the other girls to arrive. There was a great selection of movies for everyone to enjoy, there was Flame Rider, Metal Man, A silent voice and Terminatra 2 : Punishment Day

"I wonder if she'll make it today?" said Danny. He started looking around to see if anyone arrived but it was him all by himself. Just then, he felt a pair of hands covering his eyes from the back.

"Wha...who's this?" asked Danny.

"Well...can't you guess?" asked ?

"Well, guessing from the size of the hand and you're heart beat. I'm guessing you're Star." said Danny. The hands then left Danny's face only to reveal that it was Star.

"You were really able to tell from my heartbeat?" asked Star.

"No, I was able to tell because I heard you whispering to yourself, hoping to surprise me. I noticed you arrived when you hid yourself behind that tree." said Danny.

"How did you do that?" asked Star.

"An ability called "Silent Serene Heart", I can hear how you feel and you're actions based off your heart beat. I can use it to hear people from across the planet. That's why hearing yours wasn't so difficult." said Danny. Star was just amazed at Danny's ability.

"That's incredible Danny. I guess you know how I really feel right now. Don't you?" asked Star. Danny then closed his eyes to hear her heart beat and realised what it was saying to him. Danny then knew that it was time for him to answer that question.

"Yeah I do and Star there's something I need you to know." said Danny. Star then listened knowing that it was probably gonna be rejection for her feelings.

"Star, I like you. You're a beautiful girl with great talents but I can't be in a relationship right now. It's not because I don't like you but because I'm not strong enough to protect everyone. If I ever end up being in a relationship with you, I feel as though I won't be able to protect you from my enemies. And I'll never be able to forgive myself if I see you or anyone hurt. So please understand, right now I can't be with you but I want to get stronger for you all." said Danny.

"I understand. But I need to know, will I have a chance?" asked Star. Danny then went in close and placed his lips on hers. After they broke off, they looked at each other with a blush.

"I hope that answers your question." replied Danny. Star just smiled and nodded. Danny then looked away from Star to quickly get himself together but then he saw someone ahead which made him freeze on the spot. Star noticed how Danny immediately changed and look over to what it was that surprised him. Star however didn't want to respond and just decided to ignore it.

After a while, everybody started appearing one by one. Until finally Kitty arrived with her usual attire but in human form.

"Alright guess that's everybody then. So what are we watching today?" asked Dorothy.

"Not sure, there's so many great choices. What do you think Danny? Uh Danny?" asked Amber. She turned her head to see that Danny was looking elsewhere.

"Uh Danny? You okay?" asked Desera. Danny then turned his head and snapped back to reality.

"Oh uh sorry guys, I was just looking out for someone." said Danny. All the girls then looked at each other with confusion. They were sure that everyone was already gathered.

"Looking for someone? Who're you looking for? I mean we're already here." said Desera.

"Oh no, I invited someone else today. I was just wondering if she was here or not." said Danny.

"(What?! Another rival!)" thought Desera and Amber.

"Oh there you are Danny." said a very pretty voice. Everyone then turned their heads to a tall girl with pink long hair. She's wearing a yellow dress with diamond necklace. She had a pair of red high heels and golden charm bracelet. All the girls couldn't help bit stare at the pretty girl.

"Oh there you are, I was wondering if you were even gonna show up." said Danny as he walked up to the pretty girl and gave her a hug.

"Well, I wanted to look the best I could today for you." said the girl with a smile which even made the other girls blush.

"U-um, Danny. Who's this?" asked Amber.

"Oh I'm sorry, my name is Pandela. It's good to see you girls again." greeted Pandella which confused all the girls. They met her before?

"Again? Have we met before?" asked Kitty. The girl then realised that they've never seen her in her human for so it's only natural for them to be confused at her appearance.

"I'm sorry, of course you wouldn't recognise me in this form. It's me Pandora." said Pandora in her human form known as Pandela. All the girls were then completely shocked at what they just heard. This was the very ghost that captured all the malevolence in the ghost zone and took down the box ghost. And here she was in a human form and hugging Danny. Amber and Desera had just gone white with fear, seeing that it was the very ghost who had shown her fiery rage in front of them. The very ghost that they feared was getting close to Danny.

"Oh by the way Pando...Pandella, what about your extra arms?" asked Kitty.

"Oh they're still here but I made them invisible and intangible." explained Pandora.

"Well we better get going, the movies are about to start." said Danny. Danny then went up to the ticket stand to purchase the tickets for everyone. Amber and Desera were in the corner still chatting to each other about how the situation went completely south. Star who didn't really know Pandora that well, finally decided to speak to her.

"So Ms. Pandella, I..." said Star.

"Please just call me Pandella, I'm not one for formalities." said Pandora.

"Uh okay Pandella, I wanted to know. Do you by any chance like Danny as well?" asked Star. All the ghost girls then quickly turn their head towards Pandora waiting for the answer. Especially Amber and Desera who were concerned the most about Pandora.

"Oh...getting straight to the point I see. It's true, I love him as well." confessed Pandella surprising all of the girls. Sadly Amber and Desera just collapsed with shock at the confession.

"(We're doomed.)" cried Amber and Desera as they had a stream of tears running down their face.

"Well, the truth is. I love Danny as well and I don't plan on giving up on him." said Star which interested Pandella. Normally people would only say things like that when they want to fight her for her power but this time a human was declaring war for love.

"I see, well then. You can bet on it that I will not give up either." said Pandella. Dora and Kitty then went over to the two and decided to join in.

"You can count on me to join in as well. I love Danny and I'm not prepared to give him up." said Kitty.

"Me too, ever since he helped me defeat my brother. I have only respect for him. I truly do love Danny. I will fight for his love as well." said Dora. The four then look over to Amber and Desera who immediately regained their composure and went to the group with a confident face.

"Well, I'm definitely not gonna give up on him. After all, I was the first girl he met and saved. I'm not gonna give up on Danny just because I have a lot of competition." said Desera.

"Whatever old hag, I'm gonna be the one that Danny chooses in the end anyway. After all, he was there to listen on me and my past. He really made me realise how much people enjoyed my music, and there is no one else I'd rather be with then Danny. I love Danny and I won't give up either!" said Amber.

"Then it's agreed. We all love Danny but only one of us can have him, so let the best girl win." said Pandella as she placed her hand on the middle. One by one the girls all came together and placed their hands on top of each other. They then raised their hands and laughed as they finally confessed their feelings. Danny was finally finished purchasing their tickets and went back to the girls but he was surprised at what he saw. The girls were all laughing together and enjoying each other's company.

"(Aw, look at them. They got really close in only a few minutes, I'm glad I invited Pandora.)" thought Danny as he went ahead to the group and gave them their tickets.

After movie, all the girls had finally decided to go home. With the exception of Star, all the other girls had flown off to their homes. Danny decided to walk her home since it was pretty late. As they were walking though, Danny was able to tell that something was wrong with Star. She was feeling uncomfortable over something but she was too afraid to ask. So Danny decided to do it himself.

"Star, what's the matter?" asked Danny.

"Oh it's nothing." replied Star.

"You really shouldn't be lying to me you know, I can tell. It's not about my answer is it?" asked Danny.

"No, it's not. It's actually about what happened afterwards which made me curious." said Star. Danny then tried to remember what it was that happened after Danny gave her an answer. It was then it finally hit him and remembered what happened.

"Are you by any chance talking about..." said Danny.

"Yes Danny, I saw you froze up when you saw Valerie. What happened Danny?" asked Star. Danny then remembered the girl. She was wearing an orange dress with an orange band on her hair. She had orange bracelets and white shoes.

"O-oh it's nothing really, I just get shocked from now and then. He he." said Danny.

"Danny I don't need your heart reading powers to tell that something is wrong and I want you to tell me. What's wrong?" asked Star. Danny then took a deep breath and finally decided it was time to let someone know.

"It's true, the reason why I got shocked after seeing Valerie...was because she hates me." confessed Danny. Star was just confused at the statement, she didn't remember Danny ever interacting with Valerie before so why would she hate him?

"What? But why? I don't really see what you could've done that would make Valerie hate you." said Star.

"It's not me that she hates. It's Phantom." admitted Danny.

"Well what happened?" asked Star.

"It happened a long time ago. I was training my ghost powers and I was finally getting use to them but then I met...Cujo." said Danny.

"Cujo? Who's that?" asked Star.

"Um...maybe I should just start from the beginning." said Danny.

8 months ago (After Mystery Meat)

Danny was doing the usual thing and running away from Dash after he failed his test. Don't know why but he was always his punching bag to release stress. As he carried on running, he accidently bumped into Paulina and made her spill her drink on Valerie. Danny was gonna try and apologise about the accident but Valerie had other plans and made Kwan chase after him. So being chased by two jocks, he did the most logical thing possible and escaped using his ghost powers. Little did he know that soon after he would encounter the very thing that was gonna make Valerie his enemy.

Danny's ghost sense activated and he quickly started looking around for the ghost but the ghost was right behind him. A small harmless dog walked up to Danny. It had green skin with black ears and a black collar which had "A" written on it. Danny then picked up the dog and smiled.

"It's like Dash but with better breath. Now this I can handle this." said Danny. and put the dog back on the ground but then it immediately started glowing. It then transformed into an enormous, rabid, dog monster and started growling at Danny. "Or not. I'm going ghost!"

Danny then transformed into his ghost form and got into the air but the dog didn't really pay much attention to Danny and just started running into another direction. Danny quickly soon followed after and tried to get to the dog but it was too fast.

"(So what did it do?)" asked Star

"(Well I tried to stop it before it could do any damage but then...)" said Danny

Danny still tried to fly after the dog at a good speed but he was getting left behind. After a while the dog started charging directly towards Axion Industries. Cujo then growled as he became intangible and went right through the gates.

"I can't catch up to him like this! Here goes!" said Danny as he created a lightning whip and latched it onto Cujo's collar. Cujo had entered the building, alongside Danny. He immediately began smashing down the metal doors and shook off Danny throwing him inside. Danny fell on his back to see that he wasn't alone. In front of him was Valerie with her ruined shirt, her dad and the head of Axion with his guards.

"What are you?!" asked Valerie. But then everyone turned their heads towards the real threat, Cujo. Cujo then started shaking his head and started spewing out his dog drool which hit Valerie.

"I'll tell ya what I'm not, coded in dog saliva." mocked Danny.

"AAAH!" raged out Valerie. Just then Cujo started charging towards Danny direction, Danny quickly grabbed Valerie and moved out of the way.

"Bad dog! No, get back here!" said Danny as he started flying after Cujo again. Cujo then made himself intangible and Danny soon followed after. Cujo entered the science lab and started destroying everything. He quickly hit the machines which started falling like dominos and destroyed all the labs equipment.

"Stop! Cut it out!" yelled Danny as he grabbed onto Cujo's collar. Just then all the guards entered and started shooting towards Cujo and Danny but because they have the aim of a Stormtrooper, they missed horribly. Just then Valerie's dad activated the ghost defence system which brought out lasers and cannons. Noticing the threat immediately, Cujo and Danny both became intangible and went right through all the lasers and weapons. After all was said and done, the entire building was a wreck.

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" yelled Danny as he let go of Cujo and created two lightning whips. He immediately flew in and tied up Cujo's legs and made him drop to the ground. Cujo was trying to escape but the lightning whip was sturdy enough to keep him still. "Hope this works." Danny went in and started gently rubbing Cujo's tummy. Cujo then started enjoying the rub and reverted back to his tiny original form and started licking Danny's face.

"Okay, okay. Now that's a good boy. But you've caused more then enough trouble now." said Danny as he flew back home with Cujo in his hands. After flying down to his ghost portal, Danny then grabbed a small ball and threw it into portal. Cujo then followed after and with that opportunity, Danny closed off the portal. "Hopefully I won't have to see you again."

"(Oh, you saved Valerie. Why would she hate you for it?)" asked Star

"(It's the negative repercussion that she received afterwards that made her hate me.)" replied Danny

A week after

Danny was currently trying to teach Cujo so stay in the ghost zone. He borrow a book from Sam about dog's nature and their behaviour.

"Let's see, a dog's hearing is much more acute than a humans. Which means..." said Danny as he whistle to call for Cujo. Danny then looked over to see that the little dog was running towards him after hearing Danny.

"Hand signals, along with vocal commands can be a powerful combination. Stop!" said Danny as he raised his hand. Cujo then saw the signal and immediately stopped right in front of Danny.

"That's weird. This dog's already trained." said Danny but then Cujo jumped on Danny causing both of them to roll down the hill. Danny stopped on his back and Cujo landed right on top of him. "Sort of."

Danny was just laughing as Cujo started licking his face but then his senses activated and he noticed a missile headed his way. Danny quickly grabbed Cujo and jumped out of the way but the explosion still sent him flying off. Danny immediately placed Cujo down and flew off to find whoever tried to shoot him. Danny tried to look around but surprisingly there was no one there.

"What the heck was that?" questioned Danny as he looked at the hole caused by the missile. He turned around to see a figure on a rocket board of some type, holding a giant ecto blaster. The figure descended down to reveal a female figure wearing a red jumpsuit with a backpack and a mask. The figure then activated her rocket board's missile and locked it towards Danny.

"Not good!" yelled Danny as he flew away from the missile, dodging the explosion. He immediately started flying away from the figure but the figure started giving chase. She activated another function of her rocket board and started shooting lasers towards Danny.

Danny quickly formed a force barrier around him to deflect all the attacks and flew back towards the figure. He used his ecto blast to knock the figure off her board but then the board immediately flew back down and grabbed the huntress. She then threw three ecto disks towards Danny but her aim was pretty off. One landed on a tree and one the water fountain.

"Wow, nice aim. First day with the new weapons?" asked Danny but then the third disk flew down and cut hit hand. "Ow! That hurt...wait a minute? That hurt?"

"Oh don't worry ghost kid, it won't hurt long. Because you are going down!" said the huntress as she pointed her ecto blaster at Danny. She immediately shot at Danny but luckily Cujo came in time and took him away before getting hit.

"Come back!" yelled the huntress as she carried on firing with her weapon but Cujo was evading all of them. The attack were finally stopped and Cujo was able to get a good distance from the huntress.

"Okay, I ain't got time for this! See the ball boy, fetch!" said Danny as he threw an ecto ball away. Cujo them immediately followed after it. Danny then took the opportunity to revert into his human form and collapsed. Just then the huntress appeared and started looking for Danny Phantom.

"Where are you ghost kid?" questioned the huntress as she looked around but then she found a beat up young Danny on the ground who had scratches and cuts all over his body. Mostly cos he was being dragged on the ground by Cujo.

"Oh no! Hey kid, you okay?" asked the huntress as she went over to Danny and helped him up.

"I'm...not gonna be able to stand for a while." said Danny as he pretended to be weak.

"Don't worry, I'll take you somewhere safe. By the way, you see any ghosts with giant green dogs around here?" asked the huntress as she got Danny on her board and started flying.

"U-um no...I was just walking but then I felt something hit me." lied Danny.

"Ok, we'll I'll take you to the hospital for now. You gonna be okay?" asked the huntress. Danny just nodded and hung his head low. Danny then took the opportunity to find out who was behind the mask and used his ghost powers to see through the mask. And when he figured out who it was, he just felt his world crumble down.

It was Valerie the entire time. He couldn't believe it, he knew that he wronged her but never expected her to retaliate in such a way. Danny just closed his eyes and went through the rest of the ride. After getting dropped off at the hospital and watching Valerie leave, Danny transformed and flew back into his house.

After reaching home, he reverted back into his human form and landed on his bed. He was thinking about all the things that happened today and how he realised it was all his fault. Because of the accident at the Axion company, Valerie wanted nothing but revenge for what happened to her family. And her main target was Danny.

"What am I gonna do now? Valerie wants to waste me because of what I did." said Danny as he looked over at his cut. Normally weapons wouldn't really hurt Danny due to his powers but this time she had Ecto weapons, which could easily annihilate Danny. "No sense in worrying about it today, I may as well go to bed for today."

Dream

Danny dreamed that he was still in training in the hero guild while being observed by Mage (his master). He was fighting against Whisper in the arena with his sword and he was pushing her back. Whisper immediately jumped over him and tried to hit him from the back but Danny deflected the attack and struck back. Whisper saw the attack and sweeped the ground to trip Danny. Danny immediately fell on his back and Whisper placed her staff near his face.

"Another win for you." admitted Danny as she stood up. "But I'll beat you someday."

"Keep dreaming. I haven't lost once and I don't intend to." boasted Whisper. The two then took a break and had a drink. Danny then turned around to see that his master was actually walking towards him. "(Mage? What's he doing here?)"

"Danny, it's good to see you." greeted Mage.

"Likewise master." said Danny as he bowed to his master and lifted his head back up.

"Forgive me for interrupting you two but I was wondering if I could speak to you alone Danny." said Mage. Whisper then took the hint and walked off to another direction.

"What is it master?" asked Danny.

"I was watching your fight against Whisper. Quite disappointing if I do say so myself." complimented Mage.

"Forgive me master." apologised Danny bowing his head.

"It's fine but there was something I wanted to know. Why were you holding back?" asked Mage which surprised Danny. Danny felt like he was going all out during his fight with Whisper.

"Wait what? I was holding back? There's no way, me and Whisper were going all out on each other." argued Danny.

"No boy, you did not. I have sensed your strength and powers before, the strength you were using today was merely a fraction of your true potential. So then I ask again, why were you holding back?" asked Mage. Danny then looked over to his hands realising that he really was holding back.

"It's because...I didn't want to hurt her." confessed Danny.

"Is that so? Then let me ask you, what will you do on the day that she decides to kill you?" asked Mage shocking Danny.

"W-what?! There's no way she would do such a thing." argued Danny.

"Danny, there will be a time in the future where you must overcome your emotions and battle someone close to you. If you even hesitate for a second because of your emotions, then you might not walk out of the battle alive." warned Mage as he started walking away.

Danny just looked over at his hands and started thinking about what Mage said. To battle someone close to him without having his emotions holding him back. Danny just prayed, hoping a day like that would never come.

Danny immediately woke up from his dream and looked over at his hand.

"…...overcome my emotions." said Danny as he went back to sleep.

The next day

Danny started training Cujo again. He started teaching Cujo tricks and obeying commands but when he asked the dog to fetch a stick, Cujo ran the other way instead. Danny quickly followed after the ghost dog and found out where it was headed, the Axion building.

"The lab? Is there something here?" asked Danny but then he started hearing voices. He quickly grabbed Cujo and made himself invisible but holding Cujo's mouth. Just then two figures walked around the corner.

"I'm really glad you gave me another chance sir." said Damon.

"As long as nothing else happens, we'll see about re-instating your contract. I knew we shouldn't have gotten rid of those guard dogs." said the head of the Axion company.

"Valerie's dad? Oh great." said Danny as he flew away from the building. "Okay, I know what I need to do but I can't do it alone."

A few hours later

Danny, Sam and Tucker were on the hill where they could see the Axion building.

"Okay we're here. But where's man's best friend?" asked Sam. Danny just stood back and blew a whistle causing the ground to start shaking. Cujo then popped out of the ground and started growling towards Sam and Tucker.

"Hey hey, easy! I'm on your side." said Tucker.

"Yeah, so he says." said Sam.

"Hey, I'm the one who took out all the security camera's." said Tucker as he took out his PDA.

"Okay, good news is that there's only one guard. Bad news, it's Valerie's dad." said Danny.

"Ouch." said Sam and Tucker in unison.

"So I think it's safer if I go down there by myself. The Fenton fisher should be a good leash for Cujo so make sure to watch over him." said Danny as he tied the ecto line on Cujo's collar to a tree. Danny then transformed and flew down to the Axion building. Luckily there were no ghost shields protecting the area so Danny was able to pass right into the building.

"Wish I knew what I was looking for." said Danny as he started searching around but then blast came in and sent him flying back to a wall. Danny then looked up to see that Valerie was in her ghost hunting gear.

"Back to the scene of the crime?" questioned Valerie. Danny knew that it was Valerie who was hunting him for what happened so he didn't want to use all of his powers to fight her.

"I really hate to do this but..!" said Danny as he blasted lightning towards Valerie's blaster.

"Yeah?! Well I don't!" said Valerie as she took out a shoulder laser and aimed it towards Danny. Danny noticing the weapon quickly flew off to dodge all the incoming attacks. The attack was strong enough to blast a hole on the side of the roof which caught Cujo's attention. Cujo then started charging down towards the Axion building with the tree attached to his collar.

"This is why I'm a cat person!" said Sam.

Back Inside

Valerie carried on shooting lasers with her dual ecto guns and Danny did his best to dodge all the attacks. Their fight was fierce but Danny had no intention of fighting back.

"What's wrong?! Too afraid to fight back?!" questioned Valerie as she carried on firing.

"I'm not trying to fight back! Can you just listen to me?" asked Danny.

"I'm done talking!" replied Valerie as she fired her ecto blaster. Danny tried to become intangible but it still hit him and made him crash through the wall. He kept on flying back until he finally hit the wall.

"An old kennel? This must be where they kept all the guard dogs." said Danny as he tried to stand up against the wall but then it made a squeaky noise. "Huh?"

Danny then placed his hand in to find what he believes Cujo was looking for. It was pink rubber teddy bear, no doubt it probably belonged to Cujo and he wanted it back. Danny quickly took the toy and flew over back to Valerie to see that Cujo was there and he was about to attack Valerie,

"Hey boy, is this what you've been looking for?" asked Danny as he showed Cujo the toy. Cujo then started wagging it's tail and went over to Danny to get his toy.

"Here you go, now take it and go home." said Danny as he tossed the dog toy. Cujo immediately ran after it and grabbed it with his mouth. After that he started reverting into his smaller form and disappeared. Danny then went over to Valerie and helped her stand up.

"Look, I know you're mad about what happened but that's not my dog and I'm really sorry about all this. Not all ghosts are evil." said Danny as he offered a hand to Valerie.

"Yeah..." said Valerie as she took the hand but then she flipped Danny and slammed him to the ground. "And not all humans, are suckers!" said Valerie as she got another weapon ready and targeted at Danny.

"Valerie? Are you there?" asked Valerie's dad from afar. Valerie immediately panicked when she heard that voice.

"Oh no! My dad, I can't let him see me like this." said Valerie.

"Sorry, can't help you there." said Danny as he became intangible and flew off.

Present

"And ever since that day, she's hated me to her core. She still thinks I was the reason why I ruined her life." said Danny.

"Oh wow, I'm so sorry Danny. I guess talking to her wasn't really the best choice since she didn't trust you. So what happened afterwards?" asked Star.

"Well, it kind of got complicated." admitted Danny.

"Complicated how?" asked Star.

"Well, I met Valerie again but...we kind of ended up dating for a while." said Danny which made Star gasp. Danny just told her an entire story about why she wants to kill him but now he's saying that he dated her.

"W-w-what?! You two dated?!" exclaimed Star. Danny could understand why she would be angry, she confessed her feelings for him but he was with another girl. Danny knew it was only fair to let her be the first to know about the situation.

"Yeah we...did. But this was way before you quit the A-list so at that time, it was my first relationship. No one else knew. Well...except for Sam and Tucker." said Danny.

"I want you to tell me everything. About how this relationship started and don't miss a single detail." demanded Star. Danny was really scared with Star's reaction and just decided to obey her.

"Okay okay...it started like this." said Danny.

6 months ago

Danny had just finished his daily training regime and trained his abilities. He even developed a new spell called "Summon". With it, he was able to summon a minor familiar but he was really hoping to summon a copy of himself.

"Really now, how can I be tired already?" asked Danny.

"All that running and push ups really makes a guy feel like dying." said Danny as he took off the weights on his legs.

"Well, since I'm done with training for now. I may as well go and meet Sam and Tucker today. I told them I'd be busy but I'm sure they won't mind." said Danny as he transformed and flew off.

Amity Park Mall

"(Maybe I'll find Sam and Tucker here. I told them I was busy today but...)" thought Danny until a blue ecto blast hit Danny's back and sent him falling down to the mall. As he fell down, he crashed on a table in the food court. Luckily no one was hurt and he found Sam and Tucker.

"You mad child? Picking a fight with me in my upgraded form?!" said Technus. He was wearing a black coat with green gloves. A pair of glasses and a white cape.

"You upgraded to mullet...scary." said Danny as he fired ecto beams towards Technus but Technus summoned forth all the technology around him and formed a barrier to protect himself. Danny quickly flew up to get him but then Technus blasted his own energy beam towards Danny. Danny dodged it but it ended up hitting the last person he expected, Valerie. Danny's eyes turned red for a split second before reverting back into his neon green.

"(Valerie! No!) I am gonna break you in half!" roared Danny as he charged at Technus.

"Temper temper child. Don't let those emotions get to your head again. After all, emotions are your greatest weakness." said Technus as he teleported behind Danny and electrocuted him. Technus then threw Danny towards a pile of boxes before disappearing from the scene. Valerie finally stood up and went over to the boxes to find the ghost boy but she found someone else.

"Move it, out of my way!" said Valerie trying to get through to find Danny (human form) on the boxes. Danny finally looked up to see Valerie covered in condiments.

"Oh hi, didn't expect you to be here." said Valerie as she helped Danny get back up.

"Didn't expect to be here." said Danny.

"So are you okay? You didn't get hurt did you?" asked Valerie.

"No I'm okay. But what happened to you?" asked Danny.

"The ghost boy dropped in and got all this stuff on me. I swear I'm gonna make him pay." said Valerie.

"(Sorry) Well I'm glad you're okay." said Danny.

"Thanks. By the way, you gonna be coming in for the trip tomorrow?" asked Valerie.

"You mean the trip to Axion? Your dad works there right? Sure, I'll definitely be there." said Danny.

"Great I guess I'll see ya tomorrow then." said Valerie.

"Sure. Bye Val." said Danny. After the commotion died out, Sam and Tucker finally met up with their friend.

"Danny you okay?" asked Sam.

"Oh hey guys, I'm fine." replied Danny.

"Yeah, yeah that's fine and all but what was the deal with you and Valerie?" asked Tucker.

"Nothing, she was just asking if I was okay. And if I was going to the trip tomorrow." replied Danny.

"You sure? It looked like something more was going on." teased Tucker as he was nudging on Danny's soldier. Sam then proceeded to punch Tucker to tell him to "Knock it off."

"Tucker it's nothing like that. We were just worried about each other after Technus attacked." said Danny.

"Well whatever. So what happened, I thought you were gonna be busy all day?" asked Sam.

"Um...I finished my plans pretty early today. I was looking for you guys but then Technus got the drop on me and the rest is history." said Danny.

"Well if it's like that, then come on. I heard the new Terminatra movie came out." said Sam.

"Awesome." said Danny and Tucker. The three then went ahead and enjoyed the rest of the day with each other's company.

The next day, Axion Building

"Well class, it was very kind of Mr. Gray to give us a tour of Axion labs." said the teacher

"My pleasure Mr. Falooka. Shields down please." said Damon. The ecto shield of the wall behind them then shut down and opened for the class to enter. All the students started walking in and checking out the sight of the lab. Danny was about to walk in when Damon stopped him.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" asked Damon. The two then waited until the entire class had gone on and left those two alone.

"You seem a bit nervous. Are you okay?" asked Damon.

"I-I'm fine sir. I was just a bit worried when you asked to talk to me." replied Danny.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to threaten you or anything. I just wanted to talk to you about Valerie." said Damon.

"Valerie? What about her?" asked Danny.

"What is she to you?" asked Damon.

"Well I guess she's a really good friend. Someone I can trust to help me if I ever need it." said Danny.

"I see. Do you like her?" asked Damon.

"Well of course I like her. She's really..." said Danny but then Damon cut him off.

"No son, I meant do you really like my daughter?" asked Damon which caught Danny off guard. I mean he always did consider her as someone pretty but then he knew it wouldn't work since she pretty much hated him as well.

"Well I never really thought about it like that. I guess the difference in our families kept us apart, I thought she was in a completely different league compared to me. I never really had the chance to interact with her so much to know about her." said Danny. Damon then realised that Danny was being honest about how he felt and knew that he was a good kid.

"Well you seem like a good kid so I was hoping that you could give her a chance at least." said Damon.

"A chance? For what?" asked Danny.

"A chance to get along with her. You see, when I heard about what happened at her school and how she was left out cos of our situation, she told me that you and your friends were there to keep her company. I really appreciate it." said Damon.

"Oh it's no problem, to be honest at first we weren't able to get along with her cos of how she treated us. But then we got to know her a bit more...well I find out more then I expected but it was enough to help me know that we could be good friends." said Danny.

"That's good to hear. I know my daughter likes you so please do take care of her okay." said Damon. Both of them started giving each other light laugh until Damon got a bit closer.

"Just do me a favour, keep your families crazy ghost hunting business away from my daughter." requested Damon. Danny just nodded and Damon started walking off to the office but then Danny's ghost sense kicked in. Turn's out Valerie was shooting inside the lab with her ghost hunting gear.

"(Valerie?! What's she doing?)" thought Danny as he transformed into his ghost form. He quickly flew after her to try and get some answers but she flew off and disappeared. What was even more surprising was that Danny couldn't feel her heart beat. Knowing there was nothing else to be done, he flew back to the lab and joined Sam and Tucker.

The rest of the trip was cancelled due to the attack and everyone was asked to go home. Danny was concerned the entire time wondering why Valerie would attack or why he couldn't hear her heart beat. Not to mention she completely ignored him when they crossed paths when she usually threatens to kill him.

After getting home, Danny just proceeded to go online and talk to Sam and Tucker about the events that happened today. Sam and Tucker just said about how they didn't see Valerie the entire time and that she was to blame for everything. But Danny had this feeling that Valerie was the innocent one and didn't want to blame her.

"(Maybe I should at least ask how's she doing.)" thought Danny as he sent a message to Valerie.

"Danny, what are you doing?" asked Sam.

"Oh uh nothing. Just typing. So what was the deal today? Usually she's all like "Where's the ghost?! I find that ghost, I'm gonna waste it!" but she didn't say anything." said Danny.

"She spoke with her gun Danny, remember?" asked Danny. Tucker then notied that his PDA wasn't responding properly. Danny was about to type something but then he received a message from Valerie which read "Danny, r u okay?"

"Danny, are you okay?" said Danny as he smiled at how quick he got the response.

"What's that? Is that from Valerie?" asked Sam and Tucker in unison but then Tucker's mom came in and Tucker shut off his computer. Danny then proceeded to get rid of Sam and Tucker's messaging system and enlarged Valerie's.

"I'm fine but I didn't know what to think. How about you?" asked Danny as he typed in the message. As their conversation carried on going, Danny and Valerie learned a lot about each other. The carried on spending the entire night messaging that they forgot to sleep.

"Whoa sorry Valerie, I completely forgot the time. I'll see ya at school." typed in Danny.

"Sure, see ya." typed in Valerie as they turned off their computers.

Casper High

Danny just yawned as he got to the entrance of the school, all that time chatting with Valerie really made him tired.

"Long night?" asked Tucker.

"Of flirting with disaster?" asked Sam as she folded her arms.

"Come on guys, you should really give her a chance. I know she wants to waste Danny Phantom but did you know that she's a ninth degree black belt? Or that her favourite fruit is cumquat cos it's a funny word. He he" said Danny.

"Uh no! Cos I never really get past the "waste Danny Phantom" part!" said Sam.

"Well I'm gonna go and meet her before class." said Danny as he walked on past Sam and Tucker. Sam and Tucker were in disbelief that Danny would even consider hanging out with someone who wants to kill him.

Inside Danny kept on walking until he saw Valerie walking down with Star. Star noticed that Danny was ahead and just moved away from the two to give them some space.

"Oh don't mind her." said Valerie.

"Don't mind who? Was someone here?" joked Danny.

"Pretty cheesy Mr. Neil Armstrong. You got lunch plans?" asked Valerie.

"Nope non." said Danny.

"Great, I'll see you at lunch then." said Valerie.

"Sure Val, see ya." said Danny

After school

Danny and Valerie finished up their homework and decided to go have lunch at diner but then all of sudden the power went out.

"Oh man...of all the times for the power to go out." said Danny.

"It's fine Danny after all...this is pretty romantic." said Valerie making Danny blush at her words. Just then the waiter noticed the two were on their date and decided to help them out by bringing candles to their table. Danny then looked up to the waiter who just gave Danny a wink and left.

After their meal

"Wow that was a good meal." said Danny.

"It sure was. But Danny, you didn't have to pay for me too you know, I could've paid." insisted Valerie.

"Forget it, inviting you to eat out was my idea so it's only natural that I would pay." said Danny.

"Well aren't you sweet." complimented Valerie as she held his hand. Danny's heart was racing fast since he never felt something like this before. All their troubles and past immediately disappeared at that moment.

Valerie's home

"Thanks for dropping me off Danny." said Valerie.

"No problem Valerie. Have a good night." said Danny.

"You too." said Valerie as she was about to walk in.

"U-uh wait!" said Danny making Valerie turn back to Danny.

"What is it?" asked Valerie. Danny at that point was starting to act nervous since he never did this before, especially to someone who wants to hunt him down.

"I-I was...just wondering if...maybe you wanna...go watch the...baseball game tomorrow?" asked Danny as he stuttering like crazy.

"Danny, are you...asking me out on date?" asked Valerie which made Danny's face completely red.

"U-uh well...I just thought...that you know, if you have the time. But of course...you can say no...I just..." Danny couldn't finish his sentence since he felt a warm lips on his. After a while, they finally broke off and Danny's mouth just couldn't close.

"I'd love to go. See ya tomorrow Danny." said Valerie as she went inside. Danny was still surprised at the answer he received from Valerie and was frozen completely until his brain started processing again.

"WOOHOO!" cried Danny as he immediately started running home. Valerie just watched from her window as the boy was running home with such happiness. Valerie also felt something in her chest as she was actually thinking about Danny.

"Hey honey, how was your day?" asked Damon.

"Hi daddy, it was great. Got some great food and had a blast with Danny." said Valerie.

"I see, how it going with you and Danny anyway?" asked Damon.

"It's great actually, in fact he asked me to go with him to the baseball game tomorrow." replied Valerie.

"That's great to hear, I'm glad you two are getting along." admitted Damon.

"Thanks daddy, well I'm going to bed. Don't wanna be late tomorrow." said Valerie.

"Oh and by the way, I'm gonna have a late shift tomorrow so you may need to take the keys. Also, have fun sweetie." said Damon as he went to his room.

"I will and thanks daddy." said Valerie as she went to her room.

Next day

Danny and Valerie were at the baseball game and two were really enjoying each other's company. Danny bought a foam finger for Valerie and got a flag for himself. They were really enjoying the game when all of a sudden they noticed the screen announcing a competition to win two tickets to the Carnival.

"Oh wow, a chance to win two tickets." said Valerie.

"Yeah but what are the odds that we're gonna win?" asked Danny.

"I know it's not great but I think we can do it." admitted Valerie.

"Oh really? Well if we do win, would you go with me to the carnival?" asked Danny which surprised Valerie.

"You're really laying on the charms aren't you Danny?" said Valerie.

"I try." said Danny. The two then looked over at the screen and saw the many couples who were really eager to win but then Danny and Valerie showed up as the winners. The entire crowd started clapping for the two but the two were just surprised that they actually won.

"Well, looks like we're going to the carnival." said Danny.

"I guess we are." agreed Valerie

The two then watched the rest of the game until the manager came down and gave Danny and Valerie their tickets for the carnival. After the game ended, both of them carried on walking until they finally got inside the carnival. After that they enjoyed the many games such as bumper carts, test your strength, roller coasters and the horror maze. But of course, the two had no fear of anything those guys had since both of them have fought real ghosts before. After all was said and done, there was only one last thing left to ride and that was the Ferris wheel. As the two rode the wheel, they were enjoying the high heights of the ride but then it stopped.

"Oh really? Why now?" asked Danny.

"Don't worry about it Danny, at least we have a great view." said Valerie. Danny then looked over to see that it was a great view, they could see the city, the moon and finally each other. They looked back to the city to see that the lights all changed until it said "DF + VG" which surprised them both. Danny finally felt like he had something he never had before, somebody to love. A feeling that he wanted to accept even if it was the one who wanted to hunt him. Valerie then felt the atmosphere and laid her on Danny's shoulder. Danny couldn't have asked for a better night.

The next day

Danny was really glad that class was finally over so that he could go see Valerie but just as he was about to exist class, Sam and Tucker went over to him.

"Danny, we need to talk." said Sam. After that Sam and Tucker took Danny to the back of the school and started explaining all the weird things that had been happening around him. They told Danny how it was Technus who was just trying to get them closer together. And at that answer, this was Danny's reaction.

"Hahahahaha! You're telling me that Technus was trying to hook me up with Valerie? Oh come on, Technus hates emotions." said Danny.

"And hello? He's using yours against you!" said Sam.

"Dimmed lights, stalled ferris wheels? You think the universe wants you two to be together?" asked Tucker.

"Well maybe but I don't know...I might." admitted Danny which shocked both Tucker and Sam. Little did they also know that another individual was watching the entire and heard the last thing that Danny said. Valerie knew that she may have had feelings for Danny but to hear that Danny felt the same for her, it really moved her.

"Uh really? Because technical..." said Tucker until Sam quickly shut Tucker's mouth.

"Technically because we just want you to be happy. If you like her, then we'll just have to make space for her on our table." said Sam with so much regret as she was twitching a bit. Valerie was really amazed at her answer, she knew that Sam didn't really like her so it was for Danny that she decided to change her mind.

"Oh wow, thanks guys. I'm really glad you're giving her a chance. Oh speaking of Valerie, I'm supposed to meet her before class." said Danny as he left the two. The two just watched as Danny finally left the scene but then right behind them was Valerie.

"Uh Sam...did you really mean that?" asked Valerie.

"Um...uh...yeah! If you like Danny and Danny likes you, then the least we can do is give you a chance." said Sam. Valerie was thankful for the opportunity that she got from Danny's friend and gave Sam a hug. "(Human contact...it burns!)" thought Sam.

At the front of the school

"Hehe...Technus trying to hook me up? Oh please." said Danny until he heard a snapping noise. He turned around and starting looking for the source of the noise but there was no one in sight.

"Probably nothing. Sam's just being paranoid." said Danny as he was about to walk but then he heard a very familiar sound and turned around. It was Valerie in her ghost hunting gear and she had a blaster aimed at Danny.

"But it doesn't mean she's not right! I knew it when I couldn't her heart beat from that suit! You're not Valerie! Who are you?!" questioned Danny.

"No, I'm not! She's over there in full view. I'm Technus and it's time to waste ya!" said Technus. Danny quickly looked over to where Technus pointed and saw Valerie waving at him. "You should run now"

Danny immediately started running as Technus started shooting at him.

"Hey Danny, Sam and I just had the greatest convesation about..." said Valerie but then Danny quickly grabbed Valerie and jumped out of the way to dodge the ecto blasts.

"Valerie, I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" asked Danny as he helped her get back up.

"I'm fine but what's going on?" asked Valerie to see her suit in action but she had no idea who was in it. "(That's my suit! And it's after Danny!)"

Technus then turned the hover board around and started charging at the two again.

"Danny run!" yelled Valerie as the two started going their own separate ways. Technus decided to go after Danny and carried on shooting towards him. Danny using his quick reflexes jumped out of the way before any of the blasts could actually hit him but the last blast made him roll away. Danny was about to transform to his ghost form but then he noticed that a camera was right there and didn't wanna risk it.

"I wonder who'll miss you most, the angry ghost hunter or the goth girl who can't admit her feelings?" questioned Technus.

"What are you talking about?" asked Danny.

"Nothing for a slow guy like you to know, after all. You're not gonna interfere with my plans again!" said Technus as he pointed the blaster towards Danny. He was abhout to pull the trigger when he suddenly got hit by a milk carton. Technus turned around to Valerie who was in a battle stance with a stick.

"HI-YAH!" yelled Valerie as she jumped up and knocked Technus off the board with the stick.

"Danny! Run!" yelled Valerie.

"I can't just..." replied Danny.

"Just go!" yelled Valerie.

"Don't worry, I'll go. Go and get some help!" said Danny as he ran around the school and jumped inside the dumpster. After he was hidden in plain sight, he quickly transformed and flew back into the battle field. He got there just in time as Technus was about to fire on Valerie again. Danny quickly swooped in and grabbed Technus.

In the air, Danny quickly started spinning and threw Technus into the clock tower. Technus saw that Danny was flying towards and started aiming again and shot Danny. Danny just flew back and slammed into a wall. Afterwards Technus re-summoned his hover board and started flying away.

"No...NOT THIS TIME!" yelled Danny. Danny quickly created a lightning whip and grabbed Technus. He quickly pulled Technus off the hover board and slammed the suit on the ground, completely shattering it to pieces. Valerie saw the incoming pieces and dodged them all. The suit had a giant hole on it and it finally collapsed. Valerie went over to the suit and saw the damage it received. She was not happy at what she saw. Danny saw the expression on her face and realised how badly he failed.

"I need to go." said Danny as he flew off. Valerie was still in shock after she saw what happened at her suit.

"He was trying to do that to me. That could've been me! But it wasn't! And now I have a way to prove it!" said Valerie as she saw the school camera's.

At Danny's home

"So Technus must've been behind the attack on the tour! Which means he trying to crack the code and get into the main computer in space." exclaimed Tucker.

" Which he could use to control every computer in the world!" said Sam.

"You only knew that cos I told you that. Are you okay Danny?" asked Tucker. Whatever that the two were talking about, Danny had no interest. The only thing that was running through his mind was the face that he saw on Valerie's after she saw her destroyed suit.

"You should've seen Valerie's face. I'm sure she thinks I was trying to waste." said Danny in a dissapointed tone.

"But you weren't." said Sam.

"It doesn't matter. If I ever wanna ask her out, I can never tell her that I'm Danny Phantom. But first, we're gonna get rid of virus called Technus! Once and for all." said Danny but then Jack entered Danny's room.

"Danny, word on the street is that you got yourself a girlfriend. Um, can you two leave so I can have a totally have an awkward father and son chat?" said Jack as he was nudging on Danny's arm.

"Gone and gone!" said Sam and Tucker as they ran out of the room. Danny just had fake tears begging "(Don't leave me!)"

The two then went down stairs to their kitchen and sat down with a bowl of ice cream.

"Dad, I'm just gonna ask now. Does it have to be awkward?" asked Danny.

"Yep, I'm gonna give you some fatherly advice. Which will no doubt make you cringe and run of here in embarrassment." said Jack.

"Check! I'll take the advice first." said Danny with regret.

"Alright, if you really like this girl. Then you should give her something to let her know, like this." said Jack as he revealed a class ring.

"A class ring?" questioned Danny.

"A girlfriends not a girlfriend until you give her a class ring Danny. It also says (I think you could be the girl I fight ghosts with.)At least it did for your mom, I don't know how appropriate that is for you." said Jack.

"Huhu, you'd be surprised. I can give her this?" asked Danny.

"Only if she's special. I even got it engraved!" said Jack. Danny then looked over at the ring to see that it said "Sam".

"…... dad, it's not for Sam." sid Danny.

"Hah! Of course it isn't! You guys are just friends. You see that was the embarrassing thing." said Jack.

"Noted." said Danny as he left the room with too much embarrassment. Danny then went over to this room and looked at the ring again with the name written on it. Danny quickly used his pyro kinesis to rub off Sam on the ring and re-write Valerie.

Axion labs

Sam, Tucker and Danny were outside the building, getting ready to take out Technus.

"Here take this." said Danny as he gave Sam the Fenton phones to keep in contact. "If Technus get's out, let me know immediately. Oh, can you hang onto this?" asked Danny as he passed the ring to Sam. Danny then immediately flew in. Sam started looking at the pretty ring and saw the name that was engraved on it.

"Wow, he's really serious about her." said Sam with disappointment.

"Well if you were the same with Danny, maybe it could've been you instead of Valerie." said Tucker which made Sam really think about the situation that she was in.

Inside Axion

Danny was looking around for the main central computer network but he couldn't find it anywhere. Surprisingly he came across the cafeteria and he saw the two people he didn't expect.

"This isn't gonna be one of those awkward father-daughter conversations is it?" asked Valerie.

"Probably, you really risked your neck to save that Fenton kid." said Damon.

"Yeah, I like him a lot. Maybe even enough to give up ghost hunting." said Valerie which really made Danny happy. All this time he was worried that their relationship wasn't going to work because of their indifferences but Danny was really amazed that she'd give up her hunting days to be with him. Danny then proceeded to get into the computer lab.

"I'm in!" said Danny as he went over and picked up the rocket pack which could take him to space in less then two minutes. "Looking at the computers, Technus is still in there." Just then the doors opened and Valerie was with her father.

"You!" exclaimed Valerie as she saw Danny holding the rocket pack.

"Oh darn it." said Danny.

"Get away from that!" yelled Damon as he grabbed an ecto gun and started shooting Danny. Danny tried to talk but he just carried on shooting towards him.

"Please, listen to me! There's a ghost called Technus inside that machine and he's trying to hack into the computer up in space. If we don't stop him now, he'll get access to all the computers!" said Danny.

"Yeah! And we're looking at him!" said Valerie.

"And you expect us to believe you?" questioned Damon.

"See why I need to hunt these ghosts?! They think that they can do whatever they want but someone has to stop them!" said Valerie as she lifted her broken hunting gear.

"An excellent idea!" said Technus through the computers shocking all three of them. Just then the security camera shot out an energy beam towards Valerie.

"VALERIE!" cried Damon to see that Valerie started getting covered in her old hunting gear and it re-transformed into a much more advanced outfit. She unleashed a strong electrical wave which sent Danny flying back.

"Oh yeah! This is gonna be good!" said Valerie.

But then the ground started shaking at the Axion labs satellite started getting out of the roof top and blasted an energy towards the sky.

"It's over child! You can't stop me now!" said Technus through the main computer screen.

"We'll see about that!" said Danny as he equipped the rocket pack and took the astronaut helmet. he then turned on the rocket pack and started flying to space at 30,000 miles per hour. Danny created a mana shield so that he didn't burn at his speed. Valerie decided to join them and brought out her own digital hover board and flew after them.

"WHOOOOAAA! WOOHOO, I'M AN ASTRONAUT!" yelled Danny as he carried on flying.

"Danny! Your girlfriend's after you!" said Sam. Danny looked down just in time to see that Valerie was trying to shoot at him. He quickly flew to the side and dodged the lasers.

"Not my girlfriend until I give her the ring!" said Danny as he carried on flying up.

"What is this? 1955?" asked Tucker.

Once reaching space, Danny quickly turned off the jet so he could stop going forward. Valerie however carried on going straight because she didn't know how to control her new suit. She tried to shoot Danny with a laser on her hand but the laser was so strong it sent her flying back because of the recoil. Danny quickly dodged it and started flying back until he finally saw Technus who took over the central Satellite.

Technus then began shooting signals to all computer in the world. Starting from New York (Time Square), England (London) and Japan (Tokyo). He was causing havoc by disrupting the traffic lights and stealing all data from the computers.

"I have to stop him!" said Danny as he flew towards Technus and started shooting ecto beams towards him but they were all bouncing off of him. Danny stopped to think of a new plan but then Valerie swooped in and grabbed Danny with her hover board. She activated the energy on the board which started electrocuting Danny as he was screaming in pain.

"I don't wanna hurt you! AAHHH! We need to stop him!" cried Danny.

"I can handle him later! Right now, I just wanna finish you!" said Valerie. Danny was about to blackout from the pain but then it all came back to him.

Danny then started remembering the words that his master told him. "If you even hesitate for a second because of your emotions, then you might not walk out of the battle alive." Danny then knew he had no choice but to go on the offensive if he was gonna stop Technus. He quickly charged electricity in his hands and blasted Valerie off her hover board.

"Vale...rie?" asked Danny to see that Valerie was unconscious. Danny then turned on his jet pack and started flying towards Technus who was still sending signals all over the world. Danny then turned the switch from normal to overload which tripled his speed. As Danny carried on flying, he became intangible and let the jet pack carry on flying towards Technus's mouth. After the jet pack went into his mouth, the Satellite immediately exploded due to the overload. The parts of the satellite started flying everywhere and Danny was sent flying back.

In the rest of the world, the computers were back to normal and Technus no longer had control of anything. Danny was finally relieved to know it was all over. He quickly decided to fly over to Valerie to check if she was okay from his attack, he didn't want to hurt her but it was the only way to stop her. But then just as he was flying, the part of the satellite all started getting back together. Each individual piece started gathering as they didn't turn back into a satellite, it reformed into a mechanical fighting robot.

There were four huge parts all together, the circular head which was Technus's head, the torso and the two hands. They were all connected to each other with green energy.

"HAHAHAHA! I'm not going down that easily child! Perhaps I can't control the computers from up here but once I reconfigure this technology, nothing can stop me!" said Technus. Danny was just staring Technus with so rage, he couldn't even say word but he just clenched his fists.

"Temper, temper child. Are you still mad at me even after all the things I did for you? If it wasn't for me, you would've never found your girlfriend." said Technus.

"Be it so, you only used our emotions for your own gain. That is something I will never forgive." said Danny in a dark tone. He then used the spell "Summon" to bring out a copy of himself but it was see through and blue.

"Go and take Valerie away from here. Make sure she doesn't get hurt." said Danny to his clone. The clone nodded and flew after Valerie to get her to safety.

"Still caring about the girl who's trying to hunt ya? It's feeling like those which disgust me! The exact feelings which will lead you to your demise." said Technus.

"Well then you better be prepared to meet your demise." threated Danny as he started flying away from Technus at maximum speed to gain distance.

"Running away? Smart move child! HAHAHAHA!" laughed Technus as he thought Danny was running away from battle.

Danny then stopped flying and looked over again at Technus to see if the distance was just right. Danny then started charging all of his powers to spread to his arm. Danny's right arm then started charging a blue and red aura as Danny's eyes started glowing.

"This...is for Valerie!" yelled Danny as he flew towards Technus with all his might. Technus then noticed how Danny was approaching towards him at a quick speed.

"I see, then lets end this!" said Technus as he started charging his robotic arms. Technus then blasted a large ecto beam towards Danny. Danny was the incoming attack but didn't stop. He just carried on flying towards it with all his strength.

Danny then swung his charged arm towards the attack which summoned a gigantic lightning fist covered in fire. It was getting bigger and bigger. Danny's lightning fist was going right through Technus's energy blast and carried on going with full speed until it reached Technus and completely destroyed him. The satellite was shattered once again but it was starting to reform itself.

Danny saw that the satellite was getting back together and quickly absorbed the flaming lightning fist back into his body. Danny's body then started glowing as he was unleashing a huge quantity of power at once. He quickly concentrated lightning in his right hand and fire in his left. At that point, Valerie had woken up again and saw that Danny's clone was holding her.

"Get away from me!" yelled Valerie as she pointed her weapon at Danny's clone.

"No point in shooting me. I'm just a spiritual being summoned by my master. He's over there." said Danny's clone as he pointed towards the real Danny. Valerie then looked over to see Danny covered in white aura while his right arm was glowing blue and his left arm was glowing red. Danny's clone then formed a barrier around them.

"What are you doing?" questioned Valerie.

"Creating a barrier. This next attack is going to be quite lethal." said Danny's clone.

"THUNDER FLASH!" roared Danny as he sent a huge lightning blast spiralling in fire. The energy blast was huge as it completely swallowed the satellite pieces and obliterated it. After the blast was gone, Danny's power was reverted and transformed back to his normal state.

"Technus is gone. He escaped before the blast reached the satellite. You were wrong about something Technus, these feelings don't get me killed. They only make me stronger. It's my desire to protect others which gives me the power to get stronger. You will never understand these feelings because you never listen to other's hearts. Only machines." said Danny as he flew back.

"T-that...was his power?" asked Valerie unable to take in what she just saw.

"Yes but it was only one of the many feats that he can still accomplish." said Danny's clone.

"Only one?! How strong is he?!" asked Valerie in disbelief. If that was only one of his powers, then that would've meant that he could've killed her anytime. She was completely annoyed at the fact that he was holding back the entire time.

"He's very powerful. My master has a great destiny ahead of him but he always feel like he's lacking and that he could do more. That's why he aims to get stronger to protect everyone he cares about. Including you." said Danny's clone.

"What?!" asked Valerie.

"I've said enough. I'm finished here." said Danny's clone as he disappeared. Valerie then decided to retire for the day and just flew back down to earth.

The next day

Tucker and Sam were just congratulating him for stopping Technus and saving the day. But as the day carried on, Danny knew that it was time he made that choice and asked for the ring.

"Here you go." said Sam as she gave Danny his ring back.

"You sure about this?" asked Tucker.

"Well...she said she'd give up ghost hunting. For me! Besides I like her and she likes me back. Isn't it supposed to be that simple?" asked Danny.

"Clueless." said Sam and Tucker in unison.

"Danny?" said Valerie as she walked over to him and placed her on his shoulder.

"Wow, I'm glad you're here. I wanted to ask you something." said Danny. Tucker and Sam then knew it was time for them to leave.

"Actually me first." said Valerie.

"Oh okay." said Danny. Valerie then took a deep breath and looked over to Danny who was smiling.

"Danny, I've had a lot of fun these past few days but... my life's way to complicated right now for us to be anything more then...friends." said Valerie. As soon as she said those wordsm Danny could feel his heart shatter into a million pieces. The moment he was waiting for to ask her to be his girlfriend but he never even got the chance.

"Just...friends? But I-I thought we..." asked Danny with a bit a sadness.

"I thought so too but there's something important that I have to do and I don't want you to get hurt because of it. Besides, it's not like you were gonna give me some lame class ring right?" said Valerie as she got closer and placed her hand on his shoulder. She then got closer and kissed him on the cheeks.

"U-uh yeah. L-lame." said Danny. Danny then watched as she waved goodbye and went the other way. Danny just kept on watching until he couldn't see her again. Danny then took out the ring that he was planning on giving Valerie and just stared at it. But before he knew it, he actually had tears rolling down his eyes.

"Huh...I fight ghost, dragons, balverines and earth trolls...and yet I can shed tears over a...rejection." said Danny as he sat down on the bench. Just then Sam and Tucker came over and comforted Danny.

"Danny...I'm so sorry." apologised Sam as she was patting his back.

Valerie finally passed by the corner and leaned against the wall. What she did now was for his sake since she knew that it would never work between them. She just wanted to make sure Danny wouldn't get involved in her ghost hunting. She then looked over one last time to see if Danny was gonna be okay but what she saw just tore her heart. Danny just had his head low as he was still hurt about the rejection.

Danny knowing that the ring wasn't needed anymore, just threw it away to a blind direction.

"Come on buddy, Nasty burger's on me." said Tucker as the three stood up and left.

Valerie however noticed the shiny object that Danny threw away and went towards it. She picked it up to see that it was class ring and it had her name engraved on it. She couldn't help but feel even more guilty knowing that she rejected him and told him that his idea was lame. She transformed into her ghost hunting gear and flew off.

Present day (Danny and Star)

"And that was how my relationship with Valerie ended." said Danny as he covered his eyes. Star just felt guilty about making him remember that horrible memory and just hugged him to let go of the pain.

"Danny...I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have..." said Star.

"No...it's fine. I was just...clueless about the truth. I was so blind by my feelings that I forgot to realise that it would've never worked out. She may have liked the human side of me but she detest the ghost side of me. As a hero...I have to overcome my emotions." said Danny as he wiped his tears and stood up. He then transformed into his ghost form and picked up Star bridal style and dropped her home.

Nasty Burger

"Good job today Valerie." said a woman wearing the Nasty burger uniform.

"Oh thanks Nancy. You did a great job as well." said Valerie as she started changing into her normal clothes. She then took out the ring that Danny gave her and looked at it.

"Oh wow, that's a beautiful ring. It's even got your name on it. You're so lucky Valerie, at least your boyfriend is kind enough to get you things, my boy friend doesn't even get me anything on my birthday." said Nancy as she started changing too.

"Oh it's not from my boyfriend, it's from my...friend." said Valerie.

"Is he a guy?" asked Nancy

"Uh yeah, he is." said Valerie.

"Well then maybe you should make him you're boyfriend, he must really like you to get you something that nice." said Nancy. Valerie then looked at the ring and smiled. She finally wore the ring.

"Yeah, he's one of a kind." said Valerie as she remembered all the memories they had together. But the one she will never forget is the kiss they shared on the nigh that Danny asked her out.

Chapter End

(A/N Hey everybody and OH MY GOD, 15000 WORDS?! These chapters are not meant to get longer and longer, do not expect this to be a recurring thing! Anyways, I apologise for the delay in uploads, college is getting more difficult, therefore eating up most of my time. I try to do these with the best of my ability and with whatever spare time I have left so that you wouldn't get disappointed.

Also I know you all think that "Whats this?! She's not a part of the harem! She's only a memory!" and yes I can explain. As "Ancient Wanderer" has said, my chapters have become too repetitive and I agree. It's the same routine of Danny smile's, girl blushes and she falls in love with him. But this time, I wanted to make it so that Danny's the one who falls in love this time and experiences a rejection. Kind of different to how this story was meant to be but I wanted to try and spice things up a bit. Hopefully I won't get too much hate for it. Also though the harem has not met Valerie, she still likes him.

Voting from Chapter 8 reveals!

Spectra – 15 votes

Valerie – 18 votes

Perona (2 parts) - 3 Votes

Tara (2 parts) – 1 vote

Paulina – 3 votes

Beach (Swimsuit Chapter) - 0

Ember's Mom and Sis – 0 (By the way, I forgot to mention. This is just an introduction chapter. I could perhaps have Ember's sister in the harem but not her mom, I don't want to write a MILF chapter)

And holy smoly! Spectra was so close but the last three votes got in and Valerie took home the gold! Hopefully it was good enough to meet everyone's expectation and you can review about it ( I'm still a review hungry freak). Please do vote in the review section who you would like to see next and hopefully your character may get picked.

Also a huge thank you to all those who have read my story. I never expected it to come this far, I mean 90 reviews is nothing to others but to me, a great achievement. LETS HIT 100 PLEASE!

Special Thanks to these readers who have read my story from the first chapter, I'm glad you guys stuck to my story so far :
