Well, I have about a half hour left on the computer, and this popped into my head, as I've been trying to think of a plot for this topic. Takes place after Phantom Planet. Here it is. Enjoy!

Justice

Danny landed carefully on the ground, capping the thermos and changing back to his human self.

Just then, Lance Thunder and a camera crew came running over to him.

"Mr. Phantom! So glad-we-found you!" Lance gasped, running up the hill that led to one of the higher points of the park.

"Um, yah, nice to see you too. If you don't mind I kind of have to-" Danny started to say, transforming back into Phantom and floating into the air. But Lance interrupted him.

"Wait!" he exclaimed. Danny paused slightly. He didn't exactly mind the paparazzi. And Lance was a great guy and all, but…he was a tad annoying, to put it nicely. Danny raised an eyebrow, waiting for Lance to continue.

"Could we schedule an interview with you for tonight? Viewers have sent in questions, and we would love to have you on." Lance finally was able to say.

"Um…" Danny's voice trailed off uncertainly. "I…guess…I could…" Danny finally agreed, rubbing the back of his neck nervously.

Lance had to bite down on his lip to continue to hold his growing excitement.

"And, um, your friends. The ones that help you. Do you think they would-" Lance started to ask.

"No." Danny cut him off firmly. Lance blinked at him in surprise.

"Wait, what?" Lance asked, thinking he heard wrong.

"You guys already hound them day and night, and I'm not going to make them suffer. You'll have me." Danny replied, folding his arms, letting Lance know that that was final.

"Very well. See you at seven?" Lance asked hopefully, hoping that he hadn't angered him.

Danny sighed before answering. "Yah, whatever." And with that, Danny flew off. He snickered as he heard Lance from below.

"Yes! This reporter's stuff is actually paying off!"

Danny chuckled as he landed in front of his house and his two best friends-Er, girlfriend and best friend-came running out.

"Danny, where have you been? We've been waiting forever!" Tucker exclaimed, waving the movie that had just came out that they rented in the air.

"Sorry, I got caught up with a ghost attack." Danny sighed.

"That's not all though." Sam said, who had just came out behind Tucker, with a grin on her face. "Looks like you finally accepted an interview."

"How'd you know?" Danny exclaimed, changing back to his human self and walking into his house with his friends. And as he walked in, he saw the news on, telling how he would be accepting an interview later. "Oh. Um, yah, I got tired of denying them, and Lance is, well…" Danny's voice trailed off slightly as he tried to put it nicely.

"Annoying and won't take no for an answer?" Tucker finished for him, not bothering to candy-coat it.

"Well, yah." Danny said, plopping down on the couch.

"So, it's five-thirty. We have time to watch the movie, and then you can get ready." Sam said as she sat down next to Danny.

"All right! Zombie Teachers Six, coming right up!" Tucker exclaimed, popping in the DVD and then plopping down next to Danny. He grabbed a large bowl of popcorn and set it on his lap as the movie began.

"OK, that was a bit scarier than the last five." Danny commented as he turned the T.V. off as the movie ended.

"Oh, come on! It wasn't scary!" Tucker protested, although he had slight beads of sweat running down his face.

Sam held in a laugh at the two boys. "It wasn't scary to me." She raised her eyebrow slightly. "Are you telling me that two teens that fight ghosts for a living were actually scared of some movie graphics?" Sam asked, a amused smile tugging at her lips. Both boys nodded slightly, their cheeks flushing red. Sam laughed as she got up and stretched, looking at the clock. "You better get going Danny. Your interview is in ten minutes."

Danny face palmed. "I totally forgot about that." He stood up, transforming into his Phantom form. "Wish me luck."

"We'll be watching." Sam encouraged before Danny flew out of the room and towards the news station.

"Alright, Thunder. You promised Danny Phantom, where is he?" asked a man with a gruff voice.

"Don't worry boss, he'll be here." Lance assured, although he was starting to worry. What was he thinking when he had asked him about an interview? He was a teen ghost fighting hero for goodness sake! Of course he was busy, and most likely wouldn't be able to make it!

Just then, the room got slightly colder and they heard somebody clear their throat.

"Am I late? I swear, I was coming. Got caught up with a ghost on the way." Danny said nervously, shoving a thermos in his backpack. And we was telling the truth. He had been almost there when he had gotten attacked by Skulker, chased him across town, finally caught him, and had to come zooming back to the station with only about a minute to spare.

"No need to worry Mr. Phantom!" Lance replied, relief in his voice.

"Um, you can call me Danny." Danny said, still nervous as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Alright, um, Danny, just follow me and we will begin the interview in-" Lance started to say.

"On air in one minute!" said a voice.

"In one minute. Come on!" Lance said, his voice starting to become giddy with excitement.

They reached where they would be sitting, where there was a chair where Lance would sit, and a couch for guests, where Danny would sit.

"Do you want me in my ghost form or…" Danny asked uncertainly, ready to transform if necessary.

"Whichever you're comfortable with." Lance replied, sheer joy in his voice. Danny nodded, staying in his ghost form and sitting down.

"And, we're on!" Lance said. He then waited patiently, looking up at a T.V. screen as Tiffany Snow introduced the News at Night.

"Hello Amity Park and everywhere else"-this surprised Danny, as he did not know that this was going to be on air everywhere-"I'm Tiffany Snow, and this is Amity Park, News at Night. Tonight we have a special guest, in which Lance Thunder will be interviewing. Lance?"

The T.V. screen now showed Lance on everybody's television.

"Thank you Tiffany. As you all know, we have a hero among us, known as Danny Phantom, or Danny Fenton. And as promised earlier, here he is! Mr. Phantom, is there anything you would like to say?" Lance asked, the screen now showing a nervous Danny.

"Uh, hello?" Danny said nervously before the screen zoomed out to show the two of them at the same time.

"So, Mr. Phantom, when we announced that we were going to have you for an interview, we got plenty of calls, requesting their questions to be answered. We wrote them down. Would you mind answering?" Lance asked.

"Um, it's Danny, and sure. I guess not." Danny replied, trying to get comfortable with the camera focused on him.

"Alright. First question is from Stacy Evans. 'How did you become half ghost?' Yes, I'm sure that's on most of the world's mind. How did you become half ghost?"

"Well, my parents had been working on this invention called the Fenton Ghost Portal. It was supposed to let you into what they called-and it really is called this-the Ghost Zone. At first it didn't work when they tried to turn it on, and since it wasn't working, I thought it would be safe to go near." Danny explained briefly, leaving out the part that his friends were there as well. "I got curious, and I went inside. But I accidentally pressed the 'on' button, and, well, ectoplasm got into my DNA, and here I am." Danny finished.

"So, how did you get your suit then? Was it just there?"

"Well, I knew that even if it was safe, I had to be careful, so I wore a safety jumpsuit." Danny replied, motioning at his suit he was wearing. "It used to be white with black, but the accident switched the colors, along with my hair and my eyes turning green." Danny paused, knowing what his next question would be. "And about my emblem, well, it wasn't there before either. One of my friends actually created it."

"Uh huh…And you said something about a Ghost Zone, and the Ghost Portal. Is that where all the ghosts come from? Do they come through there?"

"Well, yah. Except not always. You see, the portal creates a slight unbalance, making it so that Amity Park and the area around it is constantly having natural portals pop up, and then they'll disappear, not coming back ever again. So I suggest to be careful. If you see a swirling green vortex, do not go near it." Danny advised.

"And you also said that you were alone when you got your powers?"

"That is correct." Danny confirmed.

"Well, I see that it's understood that your friends knew about your powers before the disasteroid incident. I'm curious as to how they found out." Lance asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Well, during my first month of having the powers, they were a bit out of whack, so I was constantly slipping up. And one day when we were over at my one friend's house, I started phasing through the floor, and well, they were both there when it happened." Danny replied, although it was a lie. In truth, they had seen him come out of the portal in his ghost form. "They've been by my side ever since, although I wish they would stand back so they wouldn't get hurt."

"All right. Let's move onto the next question. This one is from…Austin Ranes. 'You say you are good, and I don't doubt that. But what about when you stole things? And the time you kidnapped the mayor? What was your reasoning behind these acts?' Yes, that does raise quite a question. Tell us, Danny, why did you do those things?" Lance continued.

Danny sighed internally. He was hoping he would be able to clear up those small messes. "With me stealing things, I was being controlled. The ringmaster for 'Circus Gothica' had a staff that controlled ghosts, and unfortunately, it affected me as well. But the staff is now destroyed, and he is in prison for what he did. As far as kidnapping the mayor, he was overshadowed by a ghost that I am wanted by, and he had me in a headlock, making it look like I had him in a dangerous position." Danny explained, now comfortable enough to answer these questions.

"Hmmm, you said that you are 'wanted' by this ghost. Does this indicate that he is an officer of some sort? Does the Ghost Zone have laws? And what would you be wanted for?" Lance asked curiously.

"Well, uh…" Danny stuttered, his cheeks flushing red. "The first time I went into the Ghost Zone, I was in a device that is similar to a floating car, and I ran into Walker-the one that overshadowed the mayor. Apparently, it was unauthorized, and illegal because it was 'real-world-contraband'. Of course, I didn't know, not ever have been in there before. He let me off with a warning-as he is the Warden of the Ghost Zone Prison-and I was able to escape. Later I got into trouble again for a minor offence-again, quite ridiculous it was-and I was arrested. But being innocent and the crime just a way for him to imprison me, I let a break out. Since then he's been trying to catch me."

"Interesting…" Lancer commented before looking down at some cards. "The next question came from an anonymous person called 'Pretty Girl'. Her question is 'Do you have a girlfriend?'. Yes, it has been said that you are seeing somebody, but could we get that confirmed?"

Danny mentally face palmed, knowing exactly who the questioner was. "Yes, I have a girlfriend." Danny replied.

"Is she a human? Ghost?" Lance asked.

"She is human. But that's all I'm saying. I love her very much and I would like to let the paparazzi leave her alone." Danny replied, his cheeks flushing red again.

"All right. Here's the next question from Misti Edwards. 'Why did you choose to use your powers for good? I understand that a lot of ghosts are evil, with them attacking so frequently. Why are you so different?'. Yes, that's a very interesting question. Care to explain?"

"Well, at first I didn't know what to do with my powers. I was just focusing on keeping them in check. But then, I was forced to save my friend from the first ghost attack Amity encountered. After the fight, I saw that what she had been telling me, about how my powers made me unique, was true, and why I was given these powers. And since then, I have chosen to use my powers to protect people. Being a hero has taken it's toll, but I choose to continue to do what I've sworn to do. And honestly, none of us would be here if it weren't for the friend helping me out." Danny said with a small smile.

"So what you're saying then is, you use your powers for the greater good. To fight for justice against the evil that bombards this town, and now the world?"

"Yah, I guess you could say that. For justice…" Danny replied, his voice trailing off.

"Well, that's all the time we have for today. Thank you for coming in and spending your time with us Danny." Lance said, finishing up the interview.

"No problem Lance." Danny replied, shaking his hand. Just then, his ghost sense went off and a grin cracked on his face. "What great timing." Danny joked before waving at the camera and phasing through the wall to go fight for the town.

For justice.

I really hoped you guys enjoyed that. I was trying to think of an idea for this topic, but nothing came to mind. Then I was watching the news while trying to think of an idea, and bam! It came to me! Not to mention the nasty case of writer's block I've encountered. But no worries, 'A Loser, a Hero, Missing' will be updated very soon! I am working hard on kicking this terrible disease! Please review! They are my chicken soup!
