Chapter 5

Hey guys. Look, I'm actually on time for once. :) I just got my internet back today, so, yeah. . . Anyway, here's your chapter. It's pretty long, so, read. :D

Math went uneventful, Jazz had a spare, so they were excused to get tutored, which ended up with Danny insulting his sister about being a nerd fink who isn't helping. Jazz yelling at him. Then him apologizing. Then it was time for break.

Danny got rid of the duplicate, who had actually done all of the work in Math, and started down the hall with Dani, Sam and Tucker, before hearing:

"FENTERD!" Dash stormed down the hall in hot pursuit of his favourite punching bag. Which he wouldn't find today.

But guess who he found instead.

"Hmm. James is it?" Dash asked, while smiling. "Guess who just became a fill in for Fenton?"

"Oh, crud." Danny mumbled under his breath. Dash lifted Danny off his feet, by his shirt colour, when Danny's ghost reflexes kicked in. He brought both of his feet up and kicked Dash in the gut. Then kicked off of him and did a back flip landing on his feet and one hand, he made sure his hood was covering his hair, before realizing what he just did.

He shot off down the hall, grabbing Danielle's hand. "Oh, I am so gonna hear about this later." He said, as he shot down the hall.

"It's your fault." Danielle said.

"No! It's Phantom's natural reflexes fault. I had nothing to do with that." He said, as he turned a corner and finally stopped.

"Wow. Really? You're blaming yourself, trying not to be to blame?" She yelled.

"Well, when you put it that way, it sounds stupid." Danny retorted.

"That's because it is stupid!" She whisper yelled, as Dash ran past.

"Whatever. The bell's about to ring. Let's go to class." Danny's ghost scenes went off. "Or let's fight a ghost. That's cool too." They shot off for the nearest broom closet, phased out of their school clothes, and putting on their shoes and gloves, then shot out of the roof.

"Hello, whelp." Skulker's unnatural voice rang through the air.

"Skulker, I really don't have time for this, so if you could just go, we could get back to class." Danny said, while charging up an ecto-blast.

"I'd much rather have your pelt." Skulker said, as two new guns shot out of his shoulders.

"Okay, normally, I want more of a challenge, but I have history right now, with a teacher who is so wrapped up in rules, he would put Walker to shame. So, I'll see you next time." He shot the ecto-blast, with 3 ice blasts to follow, freezing Skulker and sucking him into his thermos. "Come on! You do not want to be late for this guy!"

*In Class*

"TARDY!" Mr. Hanbridge, a tall man with brown hair said. Handing the two tardy slips.

"But we got lost!" Danny said angrily.

"Then you should have stuck to a classmate. Now you have detention. See you after school." He smiled and waved.

The two teens sat down in the back and nearly fell asleep, as Mr. Hanbridge got into the most boring lecture ever.

*Skipping this class because I hate that teacher.*

"Okay, he was bad, but would he really put Walker to shame?" Danielle asked quietly.

"No, but to tell you the truth, I just couldn't come up with any witty banter." Danny whispered back.

"Idiot." She said to herself, about him.

Danny turned from his locker, having his books in hand, when he came face to face with Paulina.

"Hello, James." She said flirtashiously.

"Oh, hi." He said, nervously and trying to keep his voice under wraps. The last thing he needed was to have the girl with an 'Invis-o-Bill' shrine in her locker to recognize him.

"I was wondering why you skipped gym class. Some people thought it was becaause of the eye thing, but I didn't think that was it." Paulina said, tapping her chin.

"Oh, no. We were. . . with our tutor. Yeah, our tutor." He said happy with his lie.

"Are you really doing that bad in school?" Star said, seemingly popping out of nowhere.

"Umm, well we were home-schooled for all of our lives, so she's helping us get caught up in what we should know by now."

"Okay. Well, I guess that is it. By James. By, James's twin." Paulina said, walking off, flipping her hair.

Danielle scoffed. "Wow, to think you ever liked that." She laughed, staring at Paulina walk off. "Pitiful."

"Yeah, yeah. Very funny." Danny said, walking off towards his next class. "Heres hoping we can just avoid Dash the rest of the day."

"You know, you shouldn't say that. It's called JINXING yourself!" Sam said coming up from behind them.

"Haha, you would know, wouldn't you." Danny said.

"Umm, she's not the one always jinxing them self. You are." Tucker countered, walking up beside Danielle.

"Yeah, yeah whatever. One sec, gotta make a duplicate." Danny stood still for a minute, concentrating, before a Fenton duplicate, came out of the broom closet they were standing next to.

"Okay, off to Science." The duplicate said.

"Hey, who put you in charge." Danny said.

"Are you really fighting with him?" Sam asked.

"Yes, I am." They said at the same time, causing Sam to face palm.

"Whatever. Just walk." They headed off toward science. When they got there, they introduce themselves to her, sat in the back, and did the assigned work.

"Hey, Sam. Psst. Sam!" Danny said, from his seat.

"What?" Sam asked.

"What did you get for number 6?" He asked.

She sighed. "I got, umm, B."

"Wrong." Tucker said from behind them. "It's C."

"What are you guys talking about. It's obviously D." Danielle said.

"No, you are all wrong. It's A." Fenton said proudly.

"How do you even have an opinion?" Phantom asked, the duplicate merely shrugging.

Sam raised her hand, and the teacher answer. "Umm, Mrs. Parker, we are having a bit of a problem with number 6, we all say it's different answers. What is the answer?"

Mrs. Parker was a favourited teacher among the students. She had long brown hair, with side bangs always swept up. She wore an olive green v-neck sweater, which matched the shade of her eyes, with a purple tank top undeneith and a olive and orange scarf wrapped around her neck. Her whole appearence matched one of a young librarian. "Well, it is against my better judgement to give away an answer, but, just this one time. The answer is A." They all looked back at the clone.

"How did he know that, but you didn't?" Tucker asked, very confused.

"I have no idea. I think he's stealing my brains." Danny said, still confused.

"What brains?" Sam said, smirking.

"'What brains?'" Danny mocked her. "Now stop stealing my knowledge you stupid duplicate!" Danny whisper yelled for only Team Phantom to hear, the duplicate imediantly backing away.

"Okay, kids. You are going to have a project due next week on something in the solar system, where you will be picking your partners," everyone cheered. "Out of a hat." Everyone moaned. "Oh, stop that."

"Now, come on up, one by one, starting at the back, with Danny." She smiled.

Fenton quickly went up, and picked the name out. "Tucker." He and the real Danny smiled, then came back and high fived Tucker.

"Okay, Sam." She said, and held out the hat, towards her. The goth picked out a name.

"Ugh. Star." She said, annoyed.

"Oh, great." Star replied sarcastically.

"Okay, now, Nathan." He walked up, and chose Lester. Then Kwan picked Mikey. Then it was Danielle's turn. "Okay, Julia." She walked up and picked a name, showing it to the teacher. "She picked Dash. Now, James?"

He walked up, picked out a name, then paled. "Va-Valerie." He shuddered.

"Okay." She said, easily. Danny gulped. At least the disguises was working. He walked back to the his seat, and the rest of the class picked partners.

"Alright class. This project, will have to be VERY specific and detailed, if you want a good mark, since you have been doing this topic since Middle school. It will be due on next Wednesday. I expect you guys to meet at some one's house at least twice, so, have fun."

The bell rang and they all got dismissed.

"Oh, man guys. I got Valerie! What if she finds out! She'll blow my head off!"

"Yeah, well I got Star! Do you know how bad that will annoy me?" Sam yelled.

"Let me repeat. BLOW MY HEAD OFF!" Danny yelled, throwing his arms in the air for emphasis. "I. Am. Going. To. DIE!"

"I got Dash." She gasped. "You jinxed me!" She finished quietly yet angrily.

"Look, Danny. Valerie won't blow your head off if she wants a good grade. Sam, it could have been worse, you could have gotten Paulina. Danielle, if he finds out, you'll be good. He idolizes the Phantoms." They all looked at Tucker. "And, I got you, so I'm good." He finished, pointing at Danny.

"Fine, whatever. Be right back. I'm going to lunch as Fenton." He ducked into a near by classroom and changed back.

Danielle looked at him, silently asking, what about me?

"You can just come to lunch as Julia. Or, I don't know, leave and go as Dani. Or pop up and go as Danielle Fenton, like you've done so many other times. I don't really care."

"I'll just go as Julia. I want to know what school lunches are like without being thrown out due to not being a student." She said and smiled.

"You're really not missing much." Sam said, as they walked into the cafeteria. "Just loud kids, and gross food."

"It's not always gross." Tucker argued.

Sam looked at him for a moment. "It's always gross." She said again.

Dani looked around. "I don't know. All the kids talking, it's kinda exciting. I've never had the experience of being in a school. I'm only a few months old."

"True. And it's not like Vlad would have sent you here." Danny said, they sat down at their usual table before Dash barged over.

"Hey! Julia! Where's your brother?" He yelled, slamming his fists down on their table.

Danielle just stared at him for a minute before Danny cut in. "He's at tutoring." Danny said.

"Well, when he gets out, tell him I'm looking for him." He then straighten out and walked away.

"Hey, Danny. It looks like you made it off and on Dash's favourite's list at the same time." Tucker said, cheerfully.

"Remind me why I'm friends with you?" Danny said in a serious voice. "Seriously." He then got up and went to the cafeteria line, Tucker following, and grabbed a simple hamburger and a piece of cherry pie. He paid, and sat back down.

"Oh, hey Danny. Did I tell you? I'm going to try and be a vegetarian like Sam. She convinced me that it is a much healthier way to live." Sam smiled, glad she could convince one of her friends.

"Really? You're brainwashing her?" Danny asked.

"No, I voiced my opinion and she liked it." Sam stated, then the girls got up to grab their lunches.

They waited a few minutes before they got back, then they went and got there lunch.

About a half hour later, lunch was over and then they had French, then Art, then it was time to go home. It was a good end to a good day, except that Danny was off to Valerie's and Danielle was off to Dash's.

CLIFFIE! MUAHAHAHAHA! Really lame cliffie. . . but a cliffie all the same. :D

Okay, I am going to tell you this now, Mrs. Parker is my favourite teacher I made up. She really does look like a librarian if I ever get to drawing her. And the scarf around her neck is green with an orange floral patter. The scarf itself is in the style of Fred Jones from Scooby Doo. Her appearance was really fun to come up with. xDD.

Okay, so, review please. Tell me what you think. :)
