Disclaimer: A special thanks to all my reviewers! I don't think I've ever gotten so many just for the first couple chapters! So, Ali Phantom, Savi2070 (I'm honored), Me-agaisnt-the-world (I hope I didn't make him too dark), bloodmoon13 (That's what I aim for ), EmoGwyddoniaeth2, Phantom Shade (I think Lamia would like to meet Shade. Pfft, whatever. You're so anti-social! While you sit in front of a computer all day typing stories and not talking to people. That sounds anti-social to me. ...Touché ), ghostanimal, acosta perez jose ramiro, Shuricel (You know first time I looked at your name I thought it said squirrel . ), dessyweird51, DPcrazy, broken0dream, hpfan4eva (Yay! I have a friend! No Klemper it's not you!), fan-girls2.0, Illustriously Unsound (I don't think I made him as dark as all that but you just gave me a really good oneshot idea! And I never really know what days I'm posting chapters, I just try to update these three stories in order. I'm going to get back to that oneshot though. Thank you!), WolfChibi-Chan, Twilight-Phantom66 (You're going to hate this cliffie), Luiz, watashiwapikushidesu (But if I die I can't finish this!), Velvet Star (I tried to make it longer but this cliffie just kinda snuck up on me, I promise to make the next chapter longer though), ShiTiger, blackkaosrose, DP fan ( I heart plushies!), Writer's-BlockDP ( Nah, Dash is too stupid to realise the green eyes are different than blue. He just thinks that Danny's eyes change color naturaly like some other peoples' do. [sigh Moron.), Thunderstorm101 (Oh I'm with you there on the hair-trigger temper, I just have Danny's problem of botteling it all up till I explode), and Ms. Anna all get those really creepy/funny looking Vlad umbrellas from ToT eppisode and Dash shaped toast! Hahahahaha!
Your happy today arn't you!
I was until you showed up Laelia! Anyway, it's so nice to see so many old names pop up on my reviews, and of course it's equaly nice to see many new ones as well. I feel so specialful!
So I got loose of that crazy muse of mine only to be abandoned when I needed their cooperation the most (hence the long update time between the last chapter of Not What They Appear and Mysteries). So I've decided to just roll with it and type what I get inspired to type for this instead of pushing it to the back of my mind. It might just clear up some room up there and maybe my muses will be nice to me.
Pfft! Yea right. Over your dead body.
… Thank you Lamia. Just… go play with Torin or something! Stop corrupting my other muses.
Fine, whatever. But just to let you know Jeff and Bill are playing with explosives again.
WHAT! (Runs off to deal with two very destructive squirrels)
Anyway, I suppose she'll want to give you the fic so… here ya go.
"W-What're you t-talking about Fenton?" Dash stammered, hating himself for wigging out like this. The boy in front of him was less than half his size. How did an offhand threat like that give him such a fright? It was like there was a tone behind the threat that had some power to it… like a ghost had said it or something! "Y-You don't m-mean… Y-You wouldn't… You couldn't!" This was scrawny little Fenton, not a ghost! What had gotten into him that he would be scared of little runaway weakling Danny Fenton? Dash shook his fright off mentally. What was he thinking? His dog could beat up Fenton, and Pookie was just a chiwawa.
"Actually, there are plenty of things I could do. Only, unlike you, I won't stoop to that level," Danny spat, turning away from Dash in disgust.
"Like what?" Dash mocked, spinning Danny roughly around to face him and grabbing the loser's collar. "Just try to take me!'
But Danny just laughed in the jock's face. "What do you think you can do? Nothing much any normal person does can really hurt me. Are you really that thick in the head? Just take your best shot." The sophomore laughed again, a mocking challenge in his eyes that enraged the bully. No one talked to Dash Baxter like that!
"Yea well lucky for me I'm not a normal person, huh Fenfreak?" Dash leered back, bringing the boy's nose mere centimeters from his own. "I am Casper High's star quarterback."
Danny laughed even harder at that and Dash's temper rose. "And you think that's some kind of match for a ghost?"
Before Dash could work out what the hell Danny was talking about, his classmate had pushed off with both feet from Dash's chest and flipped himself backwards, wrenching himself from the jock's grip. Then, before Dash had time to figure out how the loser had managed that little trick, Danny had flicked Dash on the nose.
"Grrr! You'll pay for that Fenton!"
"Haha! Make me!"
"What, think you're all that now? I'm the one who-"
"-knows my secret. Yea you've said that already genius. You're starting to bore me." Danny gave a fake yawn and smirked at Dash.
Since when did Fentropolis get a backbone… or learn to fight for that matter? No. It wasn't fighting; it was wriggling out of someone's grasp and dancing away like the coward he is.
"O-Oh yea! Well… Well I-" But anything Dash could have thought up was thrown out of his mind after the blood curdling wolfish howl that resounded across the grounds. The teen could also hear Danny mutter "Oh damnit!" before seizing Dash by the wrist and hauling the jock at full sprint across the football field and into the open snack shack on the other side.
"Damn Fenton, since when could you run so fast?"
The loser gave him a look along the lines of "Well, what do you expect?" and Dash just became more confused. Was he supposed to know this with Fenton's reputation for being the most athletically-challenged person in Casper High?
Danny poked his head over the counter of the hut and peered out at the field. "Well, I don't see anything out there," he muttered. There was a long silent pause before the teen sighed and turned to Dash.
"Ok-"
Haroooooo!
The howl made Dash jump to his feet and Danny's gaze shot up to the ceiling as a giant form dropped through the roof between them. Dash screamed.
The wolf creature stood on its hind legs and wore a ecto-green hooded jacket with matching ripped pants. Even more surprising though, was when the ghost grabbed Dash by his collar and slammed the boy against the wall, spouting some gibberish the teen couldn't understand and waving a paper in his face.
"NO!" Danny yelled, throwing himself on the ghost's hairy arm, "Wulf, put him down!"
To Dash's great shock, the ghost did as told, dropping the boy like discarded trash and another stream of nonsense babbling. But even crazier was how Fenton seemed to actually understand and respond to the ghost.
"Yes, he did write that note but-" Another growl was directed at the jock, who shrunk back into a corner.
"Nice big wolf thing. Don't eat me!" Dash whimpered. Danny walked in-between the teen and the specter, his back to the jock. The boy was surprised that the loser hadn't peed his pants and run off by now. It was so unlike Fenturd.
"Wulf, I won't let you hurt him." There was protesting gibberish from the ghost and Danny cut it off. "Or toss him into the ghost zone!" Dash paled at that. "How'd you even get that letter anyway?"
More gibberish. How did the dork understand this thing?
"Ok, well, Dash can just tell you he doesn't intend to hurt me. Do you Dash?" The wolf-creature growled evilly, its red eyes boring into Dash, inhaling his sent like it was trying to sniff out his lies.
Dash didn't even register then that Danny had a glowing green ball in his hand, ready incase the ghost decided to lunge. All he really worked through was the severe panic in his mind.
"Man! If this is about that note to Fenton about knowing his secret I don't really know so please don't hurt me!" He raised his hands protectively over his head and peered through squinted eyes at the ghost. The wolf was actually looking better at that statement, seeming to think that if Dash didn't know, then no harm done.
But Danny didn't think that way. A brilliant emerald explosion blew a hole through the wooden wall of the shack and Dash's gaze was drawn to Danny's enraged green eyes.
"You WHAT!"
o.O … I think I just signed Dash's death warrant. But it was SO MUCH FUN! (Evil laugh) I love torturing that moron.
Anyway, reviews are appreciated!
JEFF GET AWAY FROM THAT FIREWORK! (Chases after deranged squirrel)
