A/N: Sorry, I had a hard time posting because of an "error" occurring for some reason in processing at Fanfiction, and it is still happening, no matter what I try to do. So I'm late with this posting. And I'm doing a little experiment to see if I can get around that. Now here is Chapter 5! BTW: I do not own any characters. Hope you enjoy!
Bewerewulfed Chapter 5
Later that morning, Danny is seated in Mr. Lancer's class. He hopes that he can somehow muddle through the day, and then he can figure out what to do about his situation when he gets back home. But what becomes apparent, with Mr. Lancer's excruciatingly boring review of his play, is that muddling doesn't seem to be a possibility.
Pacing in front of the class, hamming up the lines and putting the actors in his play on the spot, Mr. Lancer finally zeros in on Danny. "Mr. Fenton, have you memorized your lines yet?"
"You mean, 'Grrrrr.' and 'Ah-oooh'?" Danny asks sarcastically.
"Very funny. Looks like you'll be able to remember your most intelligent lines."
The class laughs at Danny in response.
Enraged, Danny's eyes quickly change from blue to red, but this time, instead of changing back to blue, they remain red encircled by a green glowing ring. Just then, the bell rings. Danny lags behind while the rest of the class leaves the room and heads down the hallway. He transforms into Danny Werewulf just outside the classroom door, turns around, and bursting into Mr. Lancer's room, growls, "Grrrrr!....Ah-oooooh!"
"Great Expectations! Help!" A terrified Mr. Lancer screams, and instinctively dives out the window, leaving an infuriated Danny Wererwulf alone in the room.
Even more incensed at having his prey escape, Danny Werewulf begins to destroy the room. But that isn't enough to quell his anger. He stops momentarily, takes a deep breath and emits an eerie version of his "ghostly wail". "Grrrr!...Ah-oooooh!" He howls, and the force utterly decimates the room. Panting heavily, the beast quickly leaps out of the hole he has just created in the outside wall of the room and runs toward the school field.
Dash and several other teenagers are on the field playing flag football during P.E. They do not see the monstrous hulk heading their way.
A football play is in progress. Dash, being the connoisseur of bullies, tackles his ball-carrying opponent instead of grabbing the flag. A whistle blows in protest, but Dash doesn't listen. He wrestles the ball from his hurting victim and proceeds to run down the field, tauntingly juggling the ball as he heads toward the goal.
The opposing team, of course, starts to chase the cheater, but then they notice that they are running with the wolves, er, wolf. Terrified, they scream and scamper off the field.
Meanwhile, Dash wonders why no one has caught up with him yet. He slows his pace a bit and immediately notices that someone is breathing heavily down his neck. He turns to see that that 'someone' is a some-thing and he panics.
Luckily for Dash, his panicked reaction makes him lose his footing, and he falls to the ground. Unluckily for Dash, he brings the werewolf with him.
His attacker upon him, Dash, luckily, panics again, throwing the ball up between him and the snarling teeth that are about to embed him. Instead, the ball makes contact with the fangs, giving Dash the opportunity to squirm out of reach.
In a heartbeat, Dash jumps up and runs. This time, however, he never looks back as he races toward the goal and into the safety of the school.
Later that day, Danny wakes under the large tree at the far edge of the school property. Mortified to find himself there, he looks around and then down at his shredded clothing. "Oh, great!" he remarks. "Too bad 'grunge' is still 'out'!"
He looks up and sees Sam and Tucker running out to meet him.
"Where have you been?" Tucker yells excitedly, not noticing Danny's clothes, "I've got it! I know how to get the collar off!"
Sam, looking disapprovingly at Danny, dryly remarks, "Uh, you know, the 'grunge' is still 'out'".
Ignoring her and Tucker, Danny cries, "Guys! Something awful is happening!" He grabs at his suddenly painful invisible wound again, then just as suddenly scratches himself all over. Relieved, he continues, "I've felt strange ever since Wulf bit me. And then I can't remember where I've been or what I've done lately. And then I wake up looking like this. I'm not sure, but I might be a..." He gulps and adds, "...werewolf!"
Sam gasps and replies, "I was afraid of something like this. But that can't be right! Werewolves only come out at night. At the full moon. And you changed in broad daylight. Maybe you're just sick or something and you'll get over it?"
Pulling at his tattered clothing, Danny yells, "How can I get over this?" And then trying to control himself, he adds, "I've got a sick feeling that somehow ghost werewolves don't have the same rules as ....er....real werewolves."
The three friends look at each other, so anxious now that they do not know what to say or do.
All of the sudden, Wulf tears into the Real World from the Ghost Zone and immediately lunges at Danny. To Sam and Tucker's horror, Danny instantly transforms into Danny Werewulf before Wulf can grapple him. The teenage werewulf quickly counterattacks. The fighting is fierce, and at first, it is uncertain as to who will win. But then an odd thing happens. At the peak of battle, they abruptly stop, scratch themselves all over, and resume their struggle where they left off.
Finally, the younger werewulf begins to get the upper hand. Seeing his chance, Tucker yells to Danny, "Danny, if you can just hold Wulf down, I might be able to tap into the collar!"
But at the sound of his name, Danny knocks Wulf far away, and growls in anger before he turns to attack Tucker. Sam gasps and instantly pushes Tucker away, and now she faces the monster who was her friend.
The beast snarls in warning, hesitating at first to attack her. But with a surging rage, he poises to strike her, but not before Wulf springs out of nowhere and wrestles his foe to the ground. Danny Werewulf flips Wulf off of him with his hind legs and quickly reverses their positions. With Wulf momentarily pinned to the ground, Tucker braves the risk and attaches his PDA to the collar. In a moment—and a zap to Tucker—the collar is off!
Wulf, slightly dazed, pulls the younger werewulf off of him and braces for another attack. But unexpectedly, Danny grows claws, tears into the Ghost Zone, and escapes into it. Before Sam or Tucker can react, Wulf jumps in after the young beast just as the tear repairs itself.
"You're welcomed! Again!" Tucker yells after Wulf, struggling to get up from the ground where he landed when he was zapped.
Sam rushes to Tucker and helping him up, cries, "Tucker, are you all right?"
Tucker, looking at his fried PDA, laments, "Yeah, but my 1.0 PDA is now in the negative!"
Sam, relieved that at least one of her friends is okay, urges, "Come on, then. We have to help Danny!"
