Days flew by, everybody could see the change in Dash' attitude. He wasn't bothering Danny Fenton anymore and would go for the other loser kids like Nathan. Although, whenever he would come by, Dash would almost immediately drop his victims and head towards the other direction. Danny knew that it wasn't supposed to be this way. At first, he was glad that Dash was finally off his back. But now, he was feeling very guilty at snapping like that and using his ghost power to subdue the jock.
"Aw, man. You guys, this is my fault. I shouldn't have snapped out like that." Danny told Tucker and Sam as they were eating at the cafeteria.
"Yeah! What were you thinking? You should be glad Tucker and I managed to get you away before your eyes could completely glow green!" Sam said, pointing an accusing finger on Danny.
"Don't be too hard on him, Sam. The guy was asking for it." Tucker replied while eating his pork chops. "And, nothing bad happened. We did get him away before anything could. Besides, Dash is too much of an idiot to notice these kinds of things." He added before Sam could say anything.
"Still doesn't justify his actions, Tuck. We'll also never know; Dash might make a connection between Fenton and Phantom the next time. Also, you shouldn't talk while eating." Sam narrowed her eyes and added. "Seeing the remains of a dead animal in your mouth makes me want to hurl. " Sam faced Danny while Tucker choked on the words "Remains" and "Dead".
"Hey! I'm eating here!" Tucker commented.
"Danny, what are you going to do now?"
Danny puts down his hamburger before replying. "Well, I guess that I should apologize to Dash." Danny thought for a moment. "I could do that later when he goes home after he hangs out at Nasty Burger. He normally goes home alone. I just hope that he won't hang me on top of the flagpole again like last time."
"I kind of doubt that now. And here I thought that I have to force you into doing it." Sam spoke before munching her wheat bread with veggie fillings.
After school, the trio went to hang out at an Italian restaurant near the Nasty Burger while waiting for Dash to come out. Tucker, being Tucker, joked of leaving so that the two love birds could have their date. Blushing, Sam heavily beat the heck out of him.
Eventually, the muscular freshman emerged from Amity's teenagers' number one hot spot.
"Okay guys. Wish me luck."
Tucker and Sam glanced at one another and smirked. "So you have wished it and so it shall be~" They said, imitating the ghost genie, Desiree's tone. Snickering, they returned to their normal voice and said, "Good luck."
"Ha-ha. Very funny." Danny sardonically responded with a smile on his face. He proceeded to follow Dash. He slowed his pace to keep a distance from him, and occasionally hid behind objects.
"Okay, how do I go about this?" Danny asked himself. "'Dash, I'm sorry about what happened the other day. I just didn't know my own strength and I promise I won't hurt you with it the next time.'" He studied his words.
"Nah. That isn't right. The sorry part is okay but the rest… It kind of feels like I'm stating that I do have the power and that I'm threatening him… How about… 'My parents gave me some kind of power boost the other day. That's why I managed to do that.' Yeah. Yeah, that's a nice excuse. 'Although, the side-effect gave me low patience and I easily got mad, like the Hulk.'" Danny felt proud and smiled at himself for the well thought out explanation. "Well, here goes nothing." Danny whispered. He started running in high speed.
"Hey! Dash! Wait up!"
Dash spun around. His eyes widened as he saw Danny coming straight for him. He did what every muscular man do. Release a high-pitched scream.
"AHH!" He ran inside an alleyway in an attempt to lose Danny.
"Oh, darn it." Danny murmured as he tried to catch up with him. This is the only time I could talk to him alone. Better pick up my pace.
Dash did some twists and turns to shake loose of the nimble teenager. Although no matter how hard he tried, Danny was still at his tail.
It was taking up a lot of time and Danny was beginning to grow tired from running.
"Dash! …Stop!" Danny pants, his t-shirt getting wet from sweat. "I just want to ta- whoa." He stopped as he saw Dash being surrounded by six guys bigger than the jock. He looked around and took notice of the unrecognizable surrounding. They were deep in the alleys with no roads at sight. It was also a dump here with foul smell coming from all directions and garbage scattered everywhere. He didn't recognize it in any part of Amity Park. Danny gasped as he realized that he and Dash played cat and mouse right through the dark alleys of Elmerton.
Got Elmerton from the show. XD It's where Valerie lives.
