It was strange in the town of Amity Park. Well not to the citizens themselves, they were used to the ghost insanity. Really it was the mentality of both humans and ghost that made it unordinary.
When outsiders came to Amity Park they didn't know what to expect of the ghost invaded town. Some were sceptics, some already fanatics, but things in this town always surprised them. You'd think a town like this, with all the constant ghost attacks would be completely paranoid and untrusting. Turns out they're the opposite.
You could almost believe the town was normal at first glance, mostly from the way it's humans acted. Children played in the streets for as long as they wanted, with no anxious parents constantly worrying. Teenagers laughed, hanging out with their friends without a care in the world. When you visit the police station in Amity Park you'd find it empty, the cops mulling around and playing board games. There hadn't been human crimes since the ghosts were proven to be a constant reality. After all how can humans compete against flying ghost super heroes and ghost hunters that have futuristic equipment and abilities. Others learned quick if it, for say, was a deeper crime then robbery or such, the ghosts would get them first.
What was visible in the town (most of the time) was the hero, Phantom. The ghost had a rough start but now the majority of town respected and thought of him as good. He was a symbol of peace, fighting off his own kind to protect the town. Never giving up, never stopping even against the dozens of beings infinitely more powerful then him. Phantom was extremely powerful himself but no matter what he was nice, kind, and protected the innocent with all of his afterlife. It didn't matter whether that innocent being was human or not.
Their hero was not mysterious or strange to them, he was joyful and bright always bringing happiness with him wherever he flew, even making puns while fighting. Danny Phantom was an icon. On the other hand some humans were not.
The first human example of mystery, the Red Huntress. The Red Huntress was simply unknown, they appeared a few weeks before the Pariah Dark incident for no known reason. Using high tech equipment, powerful weapons, and flying on a metal hover board. Many different theories were out there, it was in the end decided they were a girl, and human, well the latter wasn't completely decided. She seemed to have a burning hatred for Phantom. Shooting first asking questions later, for all ghosts. A complete wild card, until they weren't.
About a year and a half after ghosts started appearing, Red teamed up with Phantom. It happened quite suddenly after some civilians claimed Red was seen flying with Phantom in toe, for once not shooting at each other. For about a week the Red Huntress seemed to not attack if not outright ignore Phantom. By the end of that week it was decided Phantom and Red had an alliance, even going as far as to fight ghosts together.
Most citizens were relieved and confused at this change, it was the topic of plenty of gossip for a while. The Red Huntress now more into the spotlight was still an unknown, the public having no information about who, or what they were. So the Red Huntress was a mystery to town, only very few people knew she was the hard-working teenager, Valerie Gray.
With humans there's always some weird and mysterious types, but the people of Amity Park would all agree there is one definite one. Danny Fenton. Now the Fenton's in general were a weird bunch, even for professional ghost hunters they're quite extravagant. Maddie and Jack could rant about ghosts for hours on end, though they were both geniuses Jack's boisterous personality could scare off anyone. And if you've ever had a meal with Maddie Fenton, you'll know her food tends to become more sentient then it should be. They always say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, it was true in this case but in stranger ways. Their children were arguably weirder then them.
Their oldest was Jazz Fenton, her intellect out matched any but she definitely wasn't a normal teenager. Getting the highest mark ever on the C.A.T.'s, she is an aspiring psychologist. It's quite obvious to everyone seeing as she always dissects everyone's mental state in the near vicinity. She's to smart and observational for her own good.
As the youngest of the Fenton clan, Danny must have been the strangest human in town. Daniel was only slightly different then most, at first glance. He hadn't really believed in his parents ideals, sadly still getting bullied for them, he was still a sweet kid. Danny put his whole heart into everything, always seeming to shoot for the stars. Quite literally since he dedicated much of his time becoming an astronaut.
He was an adorable kid with stars in his eyes, but even as a kid Danny was un-ordinary. It first started when he was four and had an imaginary friend, this is a normal occurrence at this age so Maddie and Jack thought nothing of it. That friend seemed to go everywhere with that kid, Danny actually started talking to his friend more then he did real people, that's when adults started getting concerned. After months more of this attitude with no stop, Maddie was about to send him to therapy until Danny made a friend. Tucker Foley united with Danny Fenton and his weirdness becoming the perfect duo, talking to Tucker decreased the time he talked to his imaginary friend. Everything smoothed over, and when a pre-school teacher was in hysterics about there being a green floating blob Danny would talk to, it was ignored.
Danny Fenton went through grades with top marks always giving interest to everything, Tucker stayed with him through thick and thin becoming closer friends as the years went by. In middle school their duo became a trio with the addition of Sam Manson. The goth seemed to click right into their group like a missing puzzle piece, some may go as far to say Sam was the one who caused Danny's new strange behaviour. It seemed to start halfway through sixth grade, it easily could have started years before that and the humans only noticed then. Whenever Danny was in a room for at least an hour something supernatural would happen, things floating, lights flickering, unexplainable green energy, that sort of stuff.
People claimed Danny's eyes would glaze over and he would stare at the anomaly with a blank expression. Wes Weston once claimed he saw a werewolf ghost meet Danny outside, and after hugging talked in a strange language for hours. Practically everyone laughed it off, but Danny Fenton never denied the story, nor the detail added that said during that time he started glowing green. After all how would he talk to a ghost, whenever ghosts are mentioned he runs off instantly.
What the humans didn't know was every time Danny Fenton ran off, he went to find the ghost. No one saw when Danny should smile and talk with a dead four-year-old. Or when he watched with teary eyes but a huge smile as a ghost traveled back into a portal which would finally lead them home. No one ever knew when he was twelve, he would stare at his glowing hands in the dark, wondering if he was completely human.
Middle school were strange times for many, especially with some of the Fenton incidents, but no one was prepared for high school. A week had gone by, the teachers already loved the determination that was Danny, and then he was gone. A week into freshman year Danny Fenton was electrocuted by his parent's ghost portal and put in a coma for four days.
It was a big incident for Amity Park's small community so everyone knew about it. When he came back to school Sam and Tucker guarded him from everyone and everything, but even with them students could still tell Danny was more anxious and jumpier then usual. In the next month he managed to break so many lab beakers he was banned from handing them all together, no one likes when you drop and break something, but people swear Danny's eyes flashed with to much fear every time it happened. Now the people of Amity Park may be oblivious, but their teens weren't stupid. They knew when somethings going on in their ranks and if it weren't for the ghosts arriving Danny Fenton would have been seriously more observed.
Fortunately for Danny after a couple of ghost attacks as the appearance of what seemed to be a ghostly hero distracted many, and all but one student practically threw out any conspiracies about him and started theorizing ghosts. That didn't mean they started turning a blind eye towards how Danny started constantly missing class, sleeping in class, and the most surprising for everyone, getting bad grades. The nerds and geeks were especially worried about him, when he showed up with constant injuries and bruises, most of the teen population wrote it off as bullying, but the nerds knew these weren't the normal injuries received. Quick lived theories suggested he may have been abused at home, but were quickly dismissed.
After the Pariah Dark incident ghost fights became more hero and almost everyone finally thought as Danny Phantom as a hero. On the other hand Danny Fenton's absences and problems also got more constant, a few students connected them with increase in ghost but didn't get farther then that. He was a mystery no one knew how to solve.
Before anyone knew what was happening he was also gaining confidence, it really surprised everyone. It's like he suddenly decided to grow a spine, some people decided he'd always ha done and just decided to use it. Right before people started to notice, Youngblood and Ember had taken every adult in town, leaving the kids and teenagers. Danny took charge, training a handful of teenager how to fight and use ghost weapons, ultimately leading the group that saved everyone's parents.
After that show Danny seemed to give himself more composure and strength. He stood up to bullies and protected others with a fierce passion. Some observant students also noticed he now constantly carried a Fenton thermos with him, no one said anything but the theorists wrote it down. *Cough cough* Wes *cough*.
In the end Danny Fenton is an enigma. He's a mysterious person who keeps surprising everyone. Only one other human actually figured out why, without being shown. You see Danny always had ghost inside him, why do you think they were all attracted to him like an ecto-magnet? Before high school Danny Fenton was a ghostly-human, out of the ordinary in the world. After the portal incident he was also the Danny Phantom, decided to be a half-human half-ghost. After the portal, he was a human ghost.
No matter what form he's in Danny helps people, ghost and human. His soul was made to protect, made to be sweet. Danny was made to be an angel on earth, and he's succeeding even if he doesn't realize it. If the world ever knew Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom were the same being it'd be a great shock to the humans.
Danny Fenton is an enigma. Danny Phantom is a role-model. But Danny, Danny together was something else.
