Chapter 4: The NOT-Date
Danny and Kitty were now in the skies, flying together as they tried to figure out what to do now.
"So...uh...what exactly do you wanna do?..."He asked, since he realized he didn't think this through.
"Honestly, I'm open for anything..."Kitty said before thinking. "How about we go to the beach, or the park or maybe the mall?..."Kitty suggested, looking excited.
Danny wasn't too sure, though.
"It's pretty cold out to go to a beach, the mall is filled with crazy fangirls who wants to be my Valentine for the fame and the park would be an easy place for Johnny to spot you..."Danny said as he looked around.
He soon spotted something that caught his eye.
The pier.
Every year, it gets decorated and crowded for holidays and right now, it was like that for Valentine's day. There were a lot of rides and games to choose from, a great distraction from their respective rotten luck in romance.
"How about we go to the pier?..."Danny suggested and Kitty raised a brow.
"There are a lot of rides and games there, as well as prizes..."The ghost boy said. "Plus, I hear that they make special kinds of treats during each holiday..."He added.
"That sounds kinda like a carnival..."Kitty said.
"It kinda is but it's a daily thing, and there's so many people Johnny couldn't possibly spot you..."Danny said.
Kitty thought about it and grinned.
"Sure, I haven't been to a place like that in years. It sounds fun..."She said in a perky way.
Danny smiled.
"Cool..."He said as they decided to fly in closer.
At the pier
Kitty and a disguised Danny had arrived to the pier. Since Danny wanted to avoid the press and fans, he wore a hoodie, sun glasses, a fake mustache that he kept for times like this. He kept his hoodie up to make himself less noticeable to people.
"Uh, tell me again why you are dressing up like this? You look kinda dorky..."Kitty quipped.
"Believe me, it's a lot better this way instead of getting swarmed at by so many people that you don't even know... and my name is Donny Felton in this getup..."Danny said seriously while the ghoul looked like she was about to laugh.
"Seriously? Donny Felton?! That's the best you can come up with..."Kitty teased. "You seriously need to come up with more original names..."She added.
"No one ever pieced together "Danny Fenton" and "Danny Phantom" until I had to reveal myself..."Danny pointed out.
Kitty paused and thought about it, realizing that he was right.
"Fair point..."She admitted before looking around.
"So, now what do we do?..."She asked since they were already here.
Danny smiled.
"Now we have fun..."He replied. "Ladies choice..."He offered.
Kitty smiled as he lead her to whatever ride or booth that caught her eye..
Later
About an hour has passed and Danny and Kitty had actually been having fun together at the pier. Thankfully, no one noticed that Kitty was a ghost and that made things easier here for them as they just wanted to have a fun afternoon together.
They spent the last hour going on small time rides together such as bumper cars, the carousel and even the spinning tea cups ride. Now they going booth to booth, trying out the games.
"Let's try this one, Danny..."Kitty said in excitement, happy to be here.
Danny actually smiled at her admittedly cute attitude.
"She really seems like she's having a good time so far..."He thought as the ghoul lead him to the next booth.
The milk toss booth, a classic game which was being lead by a guy with a typical "carnie" look.
"Win a prize, any prize!..."The guy said as he gestured to the prizes.
Kitty was looking at a cute pink teddy bear and sent Danny a puppy dog eyed look. The ghost boy sighed and figured he could indulge her a bit.
"Three please..."Danny said as he paid the man.
He soon grabbed the balls and tossed them, managing to knock the milk bottles down in less than a minute.
Kitty and the guy working the booth saw this.
"We have a winner. Pick any prize..."The guy said as he gestured to all the prizes on display.
"That one..."Danny said as he pointed to the bear Kitty looked at earlier.
The man handed it to him and Danny smiled, happy that his aim has improved a lot thanks to his ghost hunting.
"Impressive, Danny. I can see that your sharp-shooting skills have improved..."Kitty said "I guess all those blasts of yours came in handy..."She whispered the last part.
"Thanks...here..."he said as he presented her the bear.
Kitty smiled and took it, actually looking like a giddy school girl.
"Wow, thanks Danny..."She said as she hugged the bear, smiling wide.
Danny smiled, finding this attitude from her to be strangely charming in a way.
"I gotta admit, when she's not attacking people or blackmailing me to make her ex jealous, she's kinda-..."Danny's thoughts were cut off when his ghost sense went off.
"Not again..."Danny said and his "not-date" saw it.
She knew what it meant and groaned.
"Oh, I guess this is the part where you "Go Ghost" isn't it?..."Kitty said, looking bummed as she used air-quotes.
"Yeah, I gotta go make sure that no one gets hurt...it's kinda my job..."Danny said while the ghost girl sighed.
"Just hurry back, I wanna go on more rides..."Kitty said.
"Fine..."Danny said as he went to a nearby bathroom to change forms.
Once he did, he took to the skies and looked around.
"Now, who is it this time?..."He thought as he looked around.
Suddenly, his ghost sense let out and he turned around, only to run into a familiar face.
"Cujo!..."Danny said.
"Arf! Arf!..."The ghostly pup let out, happy to see the ghost kid.
Danny sighed and sent an exasperated smile to the pup as he flew down and changed back, with the pup following him.
"Danny, what's up?..."Kitty asked as she went to him, confused at how fast that was.
"It's okay. I guess you could call this one a false alarm..."Danny said as he revealed the friendly ghost pup.
Kitty saw Cujo and practically squealed.
"Oh, little guy! It's so good to see you again! How are you, ya little cutie?..."Kitty said as she picked up the pup and started fawning over him. " You're a friend of Danny's? I should have known..."She said as she petted him.
Danny blinked in surprise at this whole thing.
"You know Cujo?..."Danny asked.
"Cujo? Is that his name? I just been calling him "Lieutenant Pup"..."Kitty said as she held him. "This little guy is kinda a stray in the ghost zone, usually looking for someone to play with. He's such a cutie that I can't help myself from petting him and giving him belly rubs every time I see him. I wanted to take him in but Johnny doesn't like dogs, so I never did..."Kitty said with a pout before she went to fawning over the pup.
"Oh, you are so cute...yes, you are...yes, you are..."Kitty cooed to the pup who kept wagging his tail.
The ghost boy noticed this.
"Kitty...I think he likes you..."Danny had to admit as Cujo hasn't morphed yet and went on a rampage like he sometimes does.
"Of course, he likes me. I give him a treats and me, Ember and even Spectra have all been looking out for him. We all adore him, mostly because he's so obedient. So much more than our so-called boyfriends..."Kitty said as she still held the pup.
"Probably..."Danny admitted as he watched the ghoul fawn over the ghostly pup some more.
"He's probably the only guy in the Ghost Zone I can totally stand to be around...and he's the cutest too..."Kitty said before petting him again. "Yes, you are...yes, you are..."She cooed in a baby-talk voice to the ghostly pup, who licked her, making her giggle.
"Aw, does Lieutenant Pup want his belly scratched? I bet he does..."She said as she did so.
Danny actually smiled, having never seen this side from her before.
"Where was this side of her all that time?..."He thought as he saw this but he knew that he would have to cut it short before Murphy's Law kicks in.
"Kitty, as nice as this is...I think I need to send Cujo back home..."Danny said.
Kitty pouted.
"Aw, why? We were having so much fun here..."She whined.
"I know he looks cute right now but...Cujo tends to...get wild sometimes and there's a lot of innocent people here..."Danny said.
"Cujo is a sweetheart, he wouldn't hurt a fly..."Kitty said as she still didn't let go of the ghost pup.
The ghost boy sighed at that.
"Look, I get that you like him. I like him too but...well...he can get out of control...I rather not risk it before he causes some trouble...please..."Danny said.
Kitty sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Fine but I just want it on record that I think this is completely unfair..."Kitty said as she handed the ghost pup to the ghostly teen.
"Thanks..."Danny said as he quickly took the pup to a secluded spot and sucked him inside a thermos.
Once that was done, he went back to a sulking Kitty.
"I still say that was totally necessary..."Kitty said with her arms crossed.
Danny sighed.
"Both Valerie and half the insurance agents in town would disagree with you..."He thought but wisely kept to himself.
"Duly noted..."He said before he got an idea.
"Hey Kitty, have you ever gone on the new Heart-throb roller coaster?..."Danny asked, getting her attention.
"A roller coaster?!..."Kitty exclaimed.
Danny nodded as he pointed to the far end of the pier.
"This pier has a new ride. It's pretty wild and I am not sure if it's your thing but-..."Danny was cut off when she grabbed his hand.
"What are we waiting for?! I haven't been on a roller coaster in YEARS! Come on let's go! Before the line gets too long!..."Kitty said in excitement as she dragged Danny through the crowds, eager to get to the ride.
Danny blinked in surprise at her enthusiasm before smiling a bit.
"I guess she's not so down anymore..."He thought as he went with her to get in line for the roller coaster.
Both Danny and Kitty were truly starting to feel better as their "Not-Date" continued.
Unknown to both ghostly teens, a certain shadow was close by...but no one and nothing was connected to it. This shadow suddenly began to growl and snarl before vanishing to its master while from a distance, a motorcycle could be heard.
Uh oh.

REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewer:
Rebfan90, NiteOwl18 : Thank you :)
Kilaknux: Not exactly but how's this?
Danifan3000: I haven't decided yet.
Qazse: How's this?
RonaldM40196867
1) It just came to me. I also used a similar version of it a few years ago when I wrote "Cupid's Wrath".
2) It's in the human world.
3) Personally, I didn't care that they turned Vlad from a complex villain into a generic bad guy in season three who wants world domination when he originally stated he only wanted love...even if it was kinda twisted. As for Skulker, yeah, I guess he did go from a legitimate threat to just another nuisance for Danny to deal with.
Invader Johnny, Leonardo and lgarciazaldvar: Well, I guess we will have to wait and see how things turn out.
Luiz4200: Looks like it.
Hmilles02:
1) No, I don't.
2) It just came to me.
3) It just came to me.
4) Sam is tough and her own parents are almost as controlling as Kitty's, the only difference is that Kitty's parents weren't as wealthy and her dad actually HAD a job.
5) Yeah, it was inspired by that.
6) It just came to me.
Mathelete73: I guess we will have to wait and see.
Jacob Fritzsching: How's this?
PINK-samiam: Yeah.
DrewB1442: Thank you :)
William Escobar 608:
1) De nada.
2) JAJAJA XD
3) No creo que Sam realmente odie a sus padres, simplemente no tienen mucho en común con ella.
4) Sí.
5) Los tiempos han cambiado.
6) No voy a negar que Sam tuvo algunas cosas más fáciles que Danny.
7) Sí.
8) ¿Disculpe?
9) Gracias. Voy a pensar en ello.
10) Gracias :)
:) I hope you enjoyed this! Remember to read and review :)
