I hope you liked the last chapter with that song. I thought Work This Out would be perfect for this, because Danny's like at Nasty Burger and the employers are like complaining about their job. I thought it'd be so cool if Danny pitched in and started singing Work This Out. Review please!!
Valerie waited at 7:30, which was when the place closed.
Burns informed her that she would be there till 11:00 and that her only rules were: do whatever her trainer told her and don't inform anyone who he or she is or she was fired. It was strange why he never wanted her to tell anybody the name. She wouldn't care if he was her dad, but she was about to have second thoughts.
Valerie sighed and looked at her watch, which read 7:31.
"Ugh! He said he would be here right now," said Valerie.
"Gee, somebody doesn't have patients," smirked Danny who was right behind her as Valerie turned and shot a glare.
"What are you doing here!?" Glared Valerie.
"Let's see, I can make three Nasty Burgers in a minute, you're here to wait for your trainer for night shift, and Burns didn't say whether the trainer was dead or alive and where does that lead you?" Questioned Danny with folded arms.
"No way, you're my trainer?" Surprised Valerie with widened eyes.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, we have a winner. Give the lady a prize," grinned Danny with a teasing smile and clapped.
"Yeah right, this is the lamest place to work at, why would you work here at all?" Laughed Valerie.
"Because I don't have citizenship, because if you let anyone know about this not only will you loose your job, you'll loose your identity," told Danny as Valerie sighed with folded arms.
"Well, I do need my college. What's the worse that could happen," said Valerie as Danny signed in along with his student.
Danny opened the refrigerator and got a box of burger patties.
"What are you doing?" Asked Valerie.
"We need to get these patties ready for tomorrow," told Danny.
"Ok, and how exactly do we do that?" Asked Valerie.
"Get the second box in the back and I'll show you," answered Danny as Valerie got the second box and walked behind him by the defroster, "now, put the patties in here. They'll defrost and you'll get your burgers defrosted the next morning."
Valerie nodded and started throwing the patties in the defroster as Danny took it out and turned her around to face him.
"Not like that," said Danny as he took Valerie's hand and have her take the patty, "make sure that it's put in the right slot," he instructed her as he put the patty in one of the round slots that pilled the patties, "that's how you do it."
Valerie snatched her hand back and started putting the burger patties in the right slot order.
She didn't like the fact that Danny Phantom was her trainer, but if it was worth getting her money for college, it was worth it. This was only for her college money.
After the patties were all filled in the slots, Valerie sighed and looked at Danny.
"Ok, now it's time to get the new burger patties from the truck," told Danny as Valerie cocked her eyebrows and then saw a little girl that looked almost like him, "this is Dani, my cousin. She was getting the patties while we defrosted the other ones. You'll be working with her when your training is done."
"Great, another ghost to deal," grumped Valerie.
"Hey, we have to deal with the one who shoots us twenty-four-seven, but you don't see me complaining," said Dani with folded arms, "so do me a favor and get the freakin' boxes in here. I ain't doing it alone."
Valerie did not like being bossed around by a little twelve-year-old, dead or alive. She was about to say something, until Danny took her by the shoulder and lead her toward the truck.
"Dani, would you at least be nice to her? You don't have to be rude," glared Danny as Dani sighed and rolled her eyes at the same time.
Valerie got the first box and Danny got the second.
He was able to catch up to her to make sure she was doing her job right.
"Listen, my cousin can be a pain sometimes, especially towards people who hunt ghosts. I apologize for her behalf," said Danny.
"I'm only doing this for my college, ok. Don't think that I'm willing to work with you, because of my secret," glared Valerie, "or our secrets neither."
"I know, you don't have to get so snooty. I know that if it was up to you, I'd disappear from your life or even the Contest," claimed Danny.
"Good," glared Valerie as she put the box in the refrigerator and then went to get the next box, "so, I'm guessing you've been working here for a long time."
"Six Months tops," answered Danny as they walked towards the truck.
"Why do you work here? This is the lamest place you could ever work at?" Asked Valerie.
"No citizenship Valerie, I'm just a . . . well ghost towards the government. I can't even work as an officer. If I worked at the mall, they will ask for my ID, drivers license, or how about my existence? Burns found me in the rain, soaking wet. He felt sorry for me and let me in his restaurant at 12 midnight. He asked me why I was in the rain with no place to go and I told him that I didn't have a place to live except the stupid tree house in Amity Forest that didn't have a good rooftop nor windows. I also told him I was looking for a job, but I had no citizenship. He asked me how good I was at loading stuff on trucks and junk, then he got me the job with minimum wage. When Dani came along, we were able to make double minimum wage, which was only to pay for food, batteries for light, water, and income tax," explained Danny, then put the third box in the refrigerator.
"You pay income tax?" Surprised Valerie.
"Just because I don't have citizenship doesn't mean I don't have a bank account," said Danny.
"But don't you have to write down your phone number?" Asked Valerie.
"Got a cell phone and I used Burn's address for my bills," explained Danny.
"Oh really," glared Valerie in disbelief.
"Hey, he was the first human to actually not treat me like a ghost. Even if he is fruity," defended Danny, then started carrying a box of cheese.
"Listen, ghost boy, you may work here, you may even have the greatest voice anyone has ever seen, but you can't get across to me that you are on my side. I know that you brought that ghost dog to make me miserable," glared Valerie with her finger pointed.
"Then why don't cha tell me the reason for me wanting to ruin your precious life!?" Shouted Danny as Valerie tried to say something, but couldn't find the answer, "how about this? The ghost dog was ruining my life by taring the roof of my house, Jack and Maddie ruined my life by not only destroying my reputation, but killing me when I was alive in the process, you ruined my life by hunting me like an animal, and Paulina ruined my life by claiming that we were together when it was just one date. What did I do? I did nothing!"
"Nothing?" Glared Valerie.
"Name one time I've actually showed my pretty little face in front of you, Jack, Maddie, and Paulina just to get my revenge," challenged Danny, "name one time and I'll take back everything I said."
Valerie once again couldn't think of anything. She knew she was losing this argument and that she was the guilty one.
"That's what I thought. You're an unforgiving person, Valerie. You may think your life is the worst one in the world, but there's more to life then living in an apartment. At least you have a roof over your head. What do I have!? A roof leaking tree house with no bed, a cousin to support, the lamest job in the state, oh, and the fact I'm living off minimum wage just to get freakin' food on our freakin' plate!!" Shouted Danny.
Valerie was shocked by this outburst as Danny snatched another box from the truck to put the refrigerator while she just stood there trying to think of something to prove him wrong.
"You have no idea how lucky you are. I can't even go to college nor even have a supporting father who's overprotective," finished Danny as Valerie started having a guilty feeling inside her gut that made her slower then usual.
