Danny Phantom in: Spectre Rejecters

Part 13

Sam gazed out of her window, longing to see Danny again. She often wondered if the reason the ghost boy had kissed her was because he didn't intend on coming back; after all almost every visit seemed to end badly. Tucker stared at the girl; a shadow of who she used to be, who she was under a week ago. She sat corpse-like infront of the mirror. Her once charming violet eyes had become emptier, and had considerably more black around. Her short skirt and purple stockings replaced by a pair of plain jeans with a "D" similar to that on Phantom's suit, stitched onto the back pocket.

"Come on Sam, We'll be late for school, you already have enough eyeliner on!"

"I don't want to go…"

"Danny doesn't want you to stop going to school Sam, now come on before we miss the bus!"

The girl picked up her school bag, and pushed past her technology obsessed friend.

"Race ya!" She smiled, rushing down the stairs. She suddenly stopped, and the two almost went flying down the stairs. "I forgot my maths book… wait for me outside."

"Sure…" Tucker agreed and continued down the stairs. It suddenly dawned on him; Sam didn't even have maths today.

Meanwhile, Sam rushed into her room and reached under the mattress, revealing a small machine consisting of a green flashing light, a screen and a few buttons. It was a ghost detector, stolen from the Fenton's lab. Just in case.

The two friends walked down the corridor, and Sam couldn't help but to hear a 'distraught' Paulina…

"Where is my ghost boy?" She sobbed, "I haven't seen him for like… ever!"

A little further down the corridor, Dash Baxter, the popular quarterback blocked their way.

"Hey Creep, where's your boyfriend?" He asked mockingly. Sam glared angrily, whilst Tucker just stuttered.

"Um…he's…umm…"

"That's none of your business. Get outta my way." The Goth girl was clearly not in the mood for some stupid moron taunting her about a subject of which he knew nothing about; and which concerned her so much. She attempted to walk around him, but he slapped his hand on the locker infront of her.

"What did you say?" He questioned threateningly. Just as he spoke those words, Mr. Lancer appeared.

"Is there a problem here?" he asked suspiciously, glaring at both Sam and Dash; neither of whom answered. "I suggest you get to your lessons, NOW!" Neither teen hesitated to do so.

Back at Vlad's manor, Danny was outside 'training'.

"I am the box ghost!" The strange looking ghost yelled. "Fear me!" The young ghost boy yawned, and began tormenting the ghost, who didn't stand a chance against Danny. After a while of foolish banter and annoying pranks, the boy was beginning to get increasingly bored.

"Okay, I'll make this easy. I don't even wanna know why or how you got here, but if you don't leave right now then you'll regret it." The boy warned in a now more serious tone.

"I am the box…"

"Have it your way." Danny said with an evil looking grin, and began using the ghost as a punching bag. This happened often; ghosts wandered through Vlad's portal and needed to be sent back. It saved the older man a job, and it was decent training for Danny. On this day however, Danny was completely unaware of the fully-armed man hiding behind the bushes like a tiger preparing to slaughter its prey. Pretty soon, the box ghost fled; which was predictable. The boy landed slowly and was about to change back to his human form, when he was caught completely unaware by a strong ecto-blast which sent him flying into a nearby bush. He sat up and looked to see the familiar face of his father running towards him with various weapons pointed at him, what caught his eye was the large purple cube, which Jack threw at him. Before the boy had chance to dodge, he was trapped inside the ghostly contraption and was shocked with some sort of electric power. He screamed in pain, before everything went black.

Jack rushed over to his now-human son and picked up the cube with him still in it. After throwing it into the back of his car, he set off towards Fenton Works; where he knew he could de-ghost his son.

Sam sat gloomily in her history class listening to the white-haired woman blabber on about what life was like when she was a girl, before she noticed something flashing red from her jeans pocket; it was the ghost detector. She pulled it out of her bag and stared at the screen; where she saw a red message flashing: 'WARNING! GHOST KID NEAR'. It wasn't just any ghost, it was Danny; and he was close. She stood up and jolted for the door. She heard her teacher shout, but didn't care. She had a lot more to think about than some silly old bat trying to teach her things she already knew.

The girl ran down the street as fast as her legs could take her, Danny was close now. She stopped at a street corner to see Jack Fenton climb out of his car. Nothing unusual about that; or so she thought until she saw him unload his car. There in the purple cube was Danny; unconscious.
