Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.
"Sorry, I'm afraid Jazzy's in the hospital. She has this terrible disease-"
"Danny!"
The fourth-grader flinched, turning his head from the boy at the door to his mother standing behind him. He smiled nervously, knowing he was in trouble. The boy who knocked just stood there confused.
Maddie sighed. "Jazz is in the bathroom, she'll be out in a bit. Why don't you wait in the living room?"
Jazz's friend nodded, and walked inside. When he went down the hall, Maddie turned to her son. "Danny! How many times to I have to tell you. You can't tell Jazz's friends that she's in the hospital, has a contagious disease, or dying!"
"Awwww but it's fun!"
Maddie sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Why does her son find such fun in tormenting her eldest? "Go to your room, Danny, and don't come out until dinner."
Danny groaned and pouted, but eventually shuffled his feet upstairs. Great; now he was stuck in his boring room by himself. Well, I guess he wasn't all by himself…
He opened the door to his room, and closed it behind him. He went over to the window, opening it after he wrote his message.
After he had discovered that Sammy was living in Mrs. McDevitt's house for the summer, he was thrilled. She would have to leave once summer was over, but that was fine. The only problem was that Mrs. McDevitt was having back problems, and so he couldn't see Sammy that much.
So they made their own sort of letter network. Neither of them had phones that could text and Danny couldn't make one (yet) so they resorted to using letters. Danny had a long piece of wire strung from his room to their guest room where Sammy was staying at. Then, he had taken off a few wheels off his train set and made a sort-of pulley to carry messages to and from their windows. Since Sammy's window was slightly higher than his, he had to attach another wire to the roof so he could pull the message up the wire to her.
Danny set the message into place on the mini cart, and then pulled the string so that it went all the way to Sam's window. He pulled slightly back and forth to knock on it with the pulley a bit, so she would know he had a message.
A few seconds later the black haired girl opened the window, sending a smile that Danny could barely make out. Their houses were kind of far apart.
Hey Sam
About a minute later the pulley came zipping down the line, since it was slightly downward. It hit the piece of foam Danny had placed so it would absorb the shock, and then he grabbed the message.
It's Sammy, butthead. XP
Danny rolled his eyes. He wrote his message then carted it up the wire.
Sammy sounds too much like Danny. Sam's cooler.
Despite the long distance, he could hear her exasperated sound from his room.
Whatever. What's up?
I got sent to my room for telling one of Jazzy's boyfriends that she was dying.
Why?
Why did I get sent to my room or why did I tell him that?
Both.
I told him because its fun to mess with Jazz and I got sent to my room cuz I got caught. :(
That sucks. You must take revenge!
I can't prank my mom anymore. She'll just ground me for longer, and then my Dad will get mad at me. It's one thing for Mom to get angry, but Dad's kinda scary when he's mad.
Then prank Jazzy. The perfect solution!
Danny reread the message with glee. This was perfect! But what should he do…?
Yes! That's perfect! But what could we do?
You could do that popcorn thing again.
He cackled when he remembered the popcorn incident so many years ago. He had reused that prank a few times since then.
That one's too old and overdone. We gotta think of a new one!
Tarantula in the bed?
He frowned as he read the message. He knew his mother would probably ground him for life if he got a tarantula or any other animal in the house.
No animals. My mom would kill me!
You're pretty good with your screwdriver. How bout you make her lights flicker on and off till she goes crazy?
Danny thought for a bit. That did sound cool; but he had no idea how to do it.
I dunno how to do that. Maybe something simple?
Dude! I have the perfect prank! We might need to get some stuff, but its so worth it…
He read the rest of the message, an evil grin spreading on his face as he finished. This was awesome! Sure, he needed to get rid of the rest of his popcorn and some of his other snack food, but this was going to be so great!
So this one came out pretty quick. In fact, I finished the last one in Geometry and this one after softball practice. Man, I am extremely obsessed. At least this one is short.
So the next one will be the last one, and it will have the ending prank in it and Sam's goodbye.
Oh, and just to be clear, Danny and Sam have just graduated the third grade. So they're about...eight or nine.
If you have any critiques or suggestions, don't hesitate to share with me.
Until next time.
