Chapter 1: Valentine's Day Part I

It was a beautiful day in the town known as Amity Park and not just any day either.

It was February 14, otherwise known as Valentine's day.

Yes, Valentines...

A day of romance, passion and many people are either spending the day taking their significant other out on a special date or they are desperately looking for someone to spend this day with.

However, for a few people in this town...it was neither.

Such as a certain half ghost teen hero, who, right now, isn't really in the mood for any of this.

His name is Danny Fenton, also known as Danny Phantom whom, just six months ago, managed to save the entire world from a deadly asteroid, known by the media as "The Disasteroid" and revealed his identity to both his family and the entire world.

He also got together with his long time friend and fellow member of Team Phantom, Samantha Leah "Sam" Manson, after they confessed their feelings to each other and officially became an item.

Everything seemed perfect, the happy ending that everyone expected.

That he saved the world, revealed himself and his ghost half was finally accepted by his parents, the town finally saw him as the hero and his arch-enemy, Vlad Plasmius was finally gone and can't cause them any more trouble due to being exiled into the space and more importantly, he finally got the girl and they were all going to live happily ever after.

It was all perfect...or at least he thought it was going to be.

Things with Sam were great at first but...after a few months together...certain problems happened in their relationship.

Problems that came in the form of his fan girls, especially Ms. Paulina Sanchez, who was determined to split them up so she can finally "have her precious ghost boy". Danny wasted no time in rejecting her and siding with Sam but unfortunately, Paulina wasn't the only fan girl after him as many girls now wanted him due to him being the world hero.

Sam hated it but they tried to work through that...unfortunately, that wasn't the only issue in their relationship.

Okay, Sam is a great girl and he does find her attractive, there were and are many things he still admires about her but...well, they just didn't connect to each other as well as they thought they would.

They still cared about each other but...it was like they lacked a certain chemistry between each other that they thought they would. It was odd and they tried to work through it but it never amounted to much. In fact, they found themselves getting into more arguments, especially about stupid pointless stuff like her getting mad just because he was a few minutes late to one of her goth poetry slams or her rallies. Plus, the times she was getting on his nerves due to demanding that he use his powers and influence to harass a used car dealership since they weren't "eco-friendly", even though the people there were just trying to make a living and pay bills.

It was not what they thought it'd be and they sometimes spent days not even talking to each other, stewing in anger before they apologized, made up and tried to start over...only for things to go back to how they were, making them see they rushed in too quickly without really debating how their feelings were either romantic or just platonic...or if the attraction between them was just hormones and nothing else.

Needless to say, things didn't work out and they called it quits about a month ago.

It was shocking to everyone, including Tucker, his parents and even Jazz were surprised by their breakup but it happened.

It was exactly a month ago, they had been talking about their relationship and decided it was the right thing to do. Paulina, however, was overjoyed by their break-up but Danny made it clear he had no interest in her or dating for a while.

He just wanted to be alone and forget about dating for a while.

Unfortunately, now it's Valentine's day, a time for romance and the ghost boy found himself receiving hundreds to thousands of presents, love letters and chocolates from admirers from all around the world, hoping to win him over now that he was single and recently declared "#1 Teen Heartthrob" by the media...most of which were ignored or given to his dad to eat by the uninterested boy who wasn't in any mood for dating, especially not some stranger who doesn't even really know him and only wants the fame that came with being Danny Phantom's girlfriend.

Right now, the ghost boy was stuck in his house, babysitting for the night while his parents were out to dinner and Jazz was out on a date with some guy she at the library.

"Got another one, Big Brother..."A little girl with black hair said as another package arrived to their house.

It's Danielle, otherwise known as Dani, who, not long after Danny revealed himself to his parents, found her and invited her to join the family, an offer she was only too happy to take.

Right now, the little girl was holding a package in her arms, apparently from some fan in New York, a long with photos of her and a lengthy love letter.

"What do you think is in it?..."She asked.

"Don't know, don't care. Toss it with the others..."Danny said with disinterested as he pointed to a pile.

Dani did so and shrugged as she looked at the pile.

There were over a hundred gifts that he got today alone. The biggest one being from Paulina, which is also the one that was all pink and fancy looking.

Dani made a face at it, due to not liking the cheerleader for how she used to treat her brother and how obnoxious she has gotten since she learned the truth.

"When is she gonna accept that she missed her chance with him?..."Dani thought, annoyed before turning to her brother.

She saw his expression and patted him on the back, since she knew what it might be about.

"Danny, I know you are still bummed about Sam, but you can't just sulk forever. You gotta go out and talk to people or something..."Dani said.

"I am not aiming to do it forever. I just don't wanna be pestered by Paulina or another fangirl who only wants me because I'm famous..."Danny said, looking bitter.

Dani sent him a sympathetic look, knowing his point but she still wanted to help him out, any way she can.

"I know that there is a girl out there who'd love someone like you without that fame. I know Sam wasn't what you hoped she'd be but you can't let her be the end..."She said.

Danny sighed, knowing that she is just concerned about him but her words weren't working right now. Still, he tried to explain things as best as he could to his little sister.

"I know Dani but right now, I just rather not think about love or dating..."He said. "I still care about Sam but I know that we aren't meant to be, at least not as anything but friends..."He said, now looking even more down.

Dani sighed, feeling sorry for him.

Before she could say anything to cheer him up, they heard knocking on their door and eager sounds on the other end as the ghost boy did not answer it, as he had a feeling he knew who it was.

"GHOST BOY! IT'S ME! DID YOU GET MY VALENTINE! PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME!..."An accented voice that belongs to Paulina was heard on the other end of the re-enforced, upgraded steel door.

"Not her again..."Danny and Dani both said in annoyance.

"I can't believe she's here again. I thought she took a hint when the cops had to drag her away when she tried to climb the wall..."Dani complained.

Danny sighed, knowing she's that stubborn.

"I'm just glad that Tucker passed that law that bans unauthorized people to be 10 away from our property..."He thought.

"I'm going out for a quick flight. Not through the front door, obviously..."Danny said as he changed forms and phased out, being invisible.

He saw his number one fangirl dressed up in a recreation of his suit, though it was in pink. While an impressive recreation, that wasn't enough to warrant his attention.

"Ghost boy, come on! Now that lousy goth is no longer holding you back, you and I can finally be together..."Paulina said as she kept calling out, still thinking he was inside.

Danny rolled his eyes.

"To think I used to want this..."He thought as he kept flying.

All the while, his little sister was inside the house, getting annoyed by the fangirl.

"And cue the phone call..."Dani said as she went to inform her parents and the cops about Paulina breaking the ban.

Again.


With Danny

The ghost boy was now several hundred feet in the air, staying close to the clouds to avoid being spotted by news helicopters and opportunistic fans who don't seem to have lives outside of him.

"Why did I reveal myself to everyone when I should have waited until it was just us at home?..."He thought as he kept flying.

Unfortunately, he could still see Amity Park from up hear and how it's decorated in beautiful pink, white, red hearts and other colors. He also saw many people together...people out on dates...people giving gifts to someone they admire and just wanted to be with.

The boy found himself jealous a bit, considering how he's not in a relationship anymore.

"Today is just another reminder of that..."He thought as he shook his head.

He didn't want to see this. He needed to get away from this for a while.

The boy kept flying and flying until he arrived to a nearby woods, just a mile outside of Amity Park.

It was secluded and he often came here when he had to get away from pests like reporters, fans...or his fights with Sam.

"Some Valentine's day..."He muttered, feeling down.

Unknown to him, he wasn't the only one having a horrible holiday.

A certain someone...a certain female someone with ghost powers was also not feeling so hot...and she was fuming.

"OH! I can't believe that...that...lousy good for nothing! How dare he?! All the times I gave him a chance, he keeps doing this to me!..."An angry voice practically echoed.

Danny stopped when he heard this and his ghost sense went off.

He sighed.

"Great, just what I need..."He muttered as he went to look for the source of that yell and who activated his ghost sense.

Thankfully, he didn't have to wait long as it sounded around the corner.

"With luck, it's someone I can take my misplaced aggression on..." He said to himself as he turned the corner.

Danny groaned when he saw who it was.

It was a very, very angry looking green haired ghoul with red eyes and who was dressed in red, leather biker babe wear.

"Kitty!..."Danny said, not pleased to see her.

"Danny!..."Kitty said, who seemed surprised by his presence.

Yep, it looks like this Valentine's day has just gotten a bit more interesting.
