BID 5

This chapter is dedicated to my fledgling, none other than DeliciousKrabKakes who was the one that inspired some of this chapter.

And to ChristinCC who provided this chapter's bucket list idea.

Along with rosebird333 who suggested an idea that wasn't done but mentioned.

Danny stared out the window getting lectured for skydiving into school, but Maddie and Jack's hearts weren't into it. Danny was falling asleep and Maddie and Jack were trying to scold Danny, but knowing you're scolding somebody who is dying isn't an easy thing to do. Danny was drooling on his hand as he stared almost asleep. A crop of fiery red hair caught his attention as a girl twirled down the sidewalk holding an umbrella. The girl had long curly red hair that shimmered in the light along with a cute gothic skirt that Sam would love. The girl was spinning too fast for Danny to tell much more about her. The girl looked like one of those… Danny scrambled for the words.

Lo… Lolita? The style dress, a gothic Lolita girl? Danny didn't know but she was cute. Her umbrella was also very gothic and had spider web lacing around it. Behind a tall teen sulked. His body was long and lean. His hair was black and his eyes shaded to a point where Danny couldn't determine the color. He wore a simple black button up shirt black trousers and thick soled black boots. He watched the girl with an expressionless gaze but from time to time a smile would flicker across his features from under the plain black umbrella he held. Danny watched the two parading along for a while becoming interested in the intricacies of their clothes.

The boy had a crest on his the back of his shirt embroidered into the fabric. The girl had one to but it was a patch on the Jacket which she swung around joyfully. Danny had first glimpsed it when the jacket slipped from the girls hand and up against the window.

The girl ran to pick up the jacket, noticing Danny she waved then ran back to the black haired boy's side and buried her face into his stomach while hugging his legs. The boy seemed uncomfortable but swallowed down his dislike for the hug and picked the girl up. The girl happy by this fact gripped the boy around the neck looking like she'd strangle him, but the boy made no notice of this fact and kept walking along.

A few minutes passed after the strange couple passed down the street before Danny realized it was sunny out. The odd duo had umbrellas out with thick material that cast dark shadows across them. Danny wondered if they were Goth since he had seen may Goths with umbrella out whilst at the opening of Freakshow's Circus Gothica. Danny thought back to the happy little girl and smiled. She had her whole life ahead of her. The boy with her couldn't be much older than Danny but he wasn't dying.

A young woman passed with short brown hair holding the hand of a man. The woman wore a button up blouse that was made of some sort of billow fabric and she had on a knee length skirt. She wore long leggings and some simple ballet flats. They had bows on them. She was carrying a brown leather purse over her right shoulder, her left hand in the man's.

The man hand blonde hair and green eyes and wore a stripped t-shirt that had a slight V neck. He wore black skinny jeans and converse. He had stubble but wore his head in a combed back fashion a guitar over his shoulder. Danny thought the look was somewhat hipster and didn't look to bad. Danny noticed the slight tear on his jean on the thigh and theorized that he had gotten caught on something.

Danny peeled his eyes away from the window. He was tired of this watching every one live. This is what he was afraid of. Sitting and watching and not getting things done. He was afraid of regretting things. Afraid to die. Danny didn't want to die. Danny closed his eyes, he wished he wouldn't die, but at the same time he knew he wouldn't wish his ghost half away. When Maddie and Jack and presented the argument that if they could get rid of his ghost half Danny wouldn't die, Danny had immediately rejected the idea. His ghost half saved people, Danny wouldn't get rid of it as long as there was a town to protect.

Jazz came down the stairs. Danny looked up at her. Jazz forced a smile. She hadn't spoken much about it since she'd heard Danny was dying. She instead locked herself in her room and Danny could hear her crying. Danny didn't know what to say, didn't know what to do. Jazz walked and sat next to Danny her eyes swimming with tears. Danny smiled at her.

"Hey." He said after a long pause. The word was strange after such a long scilence, after just stepping back and watching. Jazz nodded.

"Hi." She said, "I was thinking… what is on your list?" Jazz asked. Danny pulled the folded up paper out of his pocket Jazz skimmed it. Maddie and Jack who had long since fallen silent leaning forward to see. Jazz chuckled then pointed to one.

Shove Dash into his locker 20 times.

Danny smiled.

"I think that's a bit lenient compared to how many times I've become aquainted to the inside of my locker." Danny joked. Jazz laughed.

"No kidding. But I don't think you can do that one, I don't even know if Dash will fit." Jazz smiled.

"Well if he curls up real small both Dash and Kwan can fit in there real good." Danny smiled. Jazz laughed.

"How about we do this one." Jazz said with a smile. Danny looked at the one she pointed to then laughed.

"Cool… do you know how to do it?" Danny asked. Jazz stared at the words.

"Hmm… not really, so we have to go get someone who can." Jazz then smiled wider.

"But Danny Fenton isn't going to be doing this one."

(So sca~ry, but you can't give into it)

Jaws dropped as soon as Danny walked into the salon. Danny walked calmly up to the counter and ahemed the person behind the counter who was talking on the phone.

"Uh… I was wondering if I could set up an appointment to…"

"On the phone, jeez, where do you come from and who do you think you are?" The girl said not even looking up. Danny raised his eyebrows.

"Danny Phantom." Danny answered.

"Right, and I'm the Queen of England." The girl said.

"Pleased to meet you your majesty." At this point one of the other employees was wave their arms in a stop motion. The girl rolled her eyes and continued talking on the phone.

"Ummmhummm. Yeah some kid saying he's Danny Phantom… did I look? Hell no! Do you really think I'm gonna turn around and some ghost kid is going to be…" The girl glanced back and Danny… "oh." The girl said before fainting. Danny laughed a little and looked around Jazz was behind him.

"Uh…" Danny rubbed the back of his neck, "So… I'd like to dye my hair… if anyone could get me an appointment or…"

"I'm free, I was going to clock out early since I have no more customers coming in but I can get you over here if you'd like." Said a guy raising his hand. Danny smiled and walked over.

"Uh… how much would it…"

"Half price for you." The guy said, "I'm Justin by the way." Justin held out his hand. Danny took it and then sat down.

"So what color would you like me to dye it?" Justin said playing with the hair. Danny chuckled.

"Green," Danny answered. Justin's eyebrows rose but he said nothing then he nodded and led Danny over to a sink where he gave Danny a smock and asked him to sit down. The rest of the salon watched curiously as Justin rinsed Danny's hair out and led Danny back to Justin's station. Justin then went to a back room and began pulling out chemicals and mixing them in a bowl. Some of the hairdressers went back to styling and cutting and dying hair a few people watching. A couple teens passing down the street came in and took out their cameras as Justin set to work parting and dying Danny's white locks.

"This will blow up on You Tube." One kid smiled. Danny chuckled then gave the kid a thumbs up as Justin worked with the hair diligently.

"You're going to be there a long time." Justin commented. Jazz took a seat in the waiting area as Danny let his head be moved around so Justin could get to other parts of it. By the time they were done Danny had drawn a crowd and Justin had Danny go under the hairdryer to set the hair faster. The kid with the video camera had set it down on the counter after a while because his arms had started to hurt from holding it. Danny was a little self-conscious as the people watched but waited patiently as Justin cleaned up his workspace while the customers, stylists, and freeloaders alike watched.

Once Danny was done Justin led him back over to the sink to wash out the dye then back to the station to blow dry it out. Danny then bit his lip and waited to be shown his hair. Turning around Danny laughed out loud. His hair was an ectoplasmic green on the base but was a teal blue at the tips that reminded him of Ember's hair. Danny turned and gave the camera a thumbs up before going to the counter. Jazz joined him pulling out a wallet as she paid for it. Danny ran his gloved hands through the new do and smiled. He'd always wanted to dye his hair, but it just seemed like something he'd do years from then.

Danny walked out of the store grabbing Jazz's hand and turning them invisible before flying off.

(Fear of pumpkin carriages)

Dash watched Phantom on You Tube getting his hair dyed. The video had been sped up so it only lasted a minute till the end where it slowed down and Phantom gave a thumbs up. It wasn't actually that bad of a look, it just was kind of out there. Dash clicked the search box and looked up the second video. Danny Fenton Skydiving into the school football field. Dash frowned; both Fenton and Phantom were acting weird.

Dash closed his eyes thinking back to Danny as he bled on Dash's front steps. Something was up with him. What was that green stuff? Dash wondered. Dash had no idea where to start, or if there even was a start for something like this. Dash paused. Why had Phantom helped Fenton with the snow day thing? And the way Phantom was speaking was very off. It was… like Phantom knew the Goth freak and the techno geek personally. Like they were good friends. It puzzled Dash to say the least. Dash growled to himself resolving to beat the answer out of Danny the following day.

(Cuz all the witches see it in your eyes)

Danny paced his room running his hands through his black hair. He was sitting still again. He hated sitting still. Danny looked at the list then wrote something down staring at it for a long time before changing into his alter ego, now with green hair and flying off toward an unknown destination.

Ha ha ha ha!
