Disclaimer: I don't own it... OKAY!?!? -cries-
Finally morning had arrived, the sun's light was shining extra bright today which made Sam growl in response. She had left her window curtains open by accident, and now she had to wake up even if she didn't want to.
"Man, I hate the sun." She stated as she sat up and threw her legs to the side of the bed. She stood and closed the curtains, yawning and rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. "Why does it shine anyway?"
"Now that's the Sam I know!" A voice said from nowhere, startling her.
"What the… Danny! Get out of my room this instant!" She yelled angrily, still gasping for air from the scare.
"Well, at least your attitude is still the same." He smiled, getting her to roll her eyes.
"Don't mind me…" She started, trying to find a way to fix this. "I'm just a little grouchy when I get up, that's all."
He nodded sarcastically and just smiled. "Listen here Sam, I'm sorry about yesterday."
"Yeah, me too." She admitted quietly, waiting for him to finish.
"You know, you told me that you did this for a guy. Can you tell me who it is?" He asked hopefully, he hadn't slept well trying to figure out who it was in the first place.
"Nope! That's my secret, Capitan Clueless." She said with a smirk. "Listen, I need to get dressed."
"Why do you call me clueless!?" He asked as he crossed his arms cutely. "Tell me!"
"No. I need to get ready for school, so if you don't mind…" She shrugged and just sighed as he nodded and flew away. "I forgot to tell him about the party! Oh well, I'll tell him at school."
He flew through her window and continued on his way quietly, lost in thoughts. Why did he care so much about this guy she liked? It's not like he had total control of her life. Why did he feel so much hate toward him anyway?
He shrugged it off for a while as his eyes found his house and he went through his wall. He landed on his floor and transformed into human, getting surprised as a second later the door was almost knocked off by some knocking.
"Dad, I'm coming!" He yelled and heard the blasts stop. "What?"
"Look Danny, my boy! I finished a new toy!" He boomed proudly, showing him a three inch megaphone with the word Fenton on it.
"Great dad, what does it do?" He asked, hoping that it didn't work, for his own safety.
"It can let you hear ghosts' thoughts through the Fenton Phones! Just place it near the ghost and wear the Phones, we can finally figure out what goes through the thin brain of those ecto-plasmic spooks!" He continued, getting a look from his son. "Uh…something wrong?"
"Does it hurt the ghost?" He asked curiously getting a shrug from Jack. "Well, does it work on humans too?"
"You bet! Come on, try it!" He smiled while placing the device near his head while throwing Danny the Fenton Phones. "Listen to my every thought carefully; they might be too complicated for a young boy like you!"
Danny did what he was told and paid attention, listening closely for anything important.
"Fudge, ghosts, fudge, ghosts, fudge, ghosts, fudge, ghosts…"
"I think it works dad." He smiled, returning the experiment to his father. "I gotta get going, I'm gonna be late to pick up Sam and Tucker!"
"Oh yes, your friend and girlfriend." Jack sighed proudly.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Danny argued quickly, getting a confused look from his dad.
"Really? You aren't the spooky bat girl's boyfriend yet? But you did give her the class ring, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but…"
"So that means that your one step ahead! Don't worry Danny, you're a Fenton, she'll say yes. Being irresistible is in your blood! Just look at me!" Jack continued with a grin and a model-like pose, making Danny stare wide eyed.
"Uh, whatever you say! I gotta go!" He yelled, pushing Jack out of the way and rushing to the front door. "I'll never see him the same way again…"
As he closed the door behind him, he still couldn't get those few seconds out of his system so he shook his head, getting a weird look from Jazz, who was just getting in her car.
"Danny, is something wrong?" She asked, lowering a window.
"Nah, just going to pick up my friends." He sighed as he looked back at the door.
Jazz smiled and offered him a ride, which he gladly accepted. Once they spotted them, Danny got out and waved goodbye, thinking that walking with them would be the best to evade awkwardness. She drove away quickly, leaving the trio by itself.
"So… are we going or are we gonna stay here and just look at our feet?" Tucker asked after a few seconds of silence.
"Nope! Let's go, we're gonna be late!" Sam said with a forced smile, feeling her cheeks hurt by the sudden expression.
"Fine by me." Danny shrugged, and they were off.
Up in the air, green mist was swirling as a head appeared and looked down, smiling at the three teens that walked calmly on the streets.
"So, time to grant wishes!" She said with a smile as she flew the opposite direction. "Let's see what this little town has to offer today."
"Oh no…" Danny murmured as some ghostly blue mist escaped his lips. "Cover me guys, I'm going ghost!"
With that said, he transformed into his altered ego and leaped to the sky in search of the ghost that had arrived. He looked all around but couldn't find anyone beside himself, so he shrugged it off and flew to his friends who where close to school already.
"Nobody was there." He sighed as he changed back.
"Maybe it was the Box Ghost?" Tucker and Sam suggested at the same time, to which Danny nodded.
School's morning was averagely, well, boring. First period was making everybody fall asleep, second period was the same… and well as every other class they had. They were only minutes away for lunch, all staring at the clock on the wall when Danny's ghost sense went off again.
"May I be excused?" He asked quickly while getting up from his chair.
Mr. Lancer glared and shook his head no. "Only five minutes of class left, Mr. Fenton. Wait like everybody else."
"Okay…" He sighed worriedly, looking outside the window for any sight of ghosts. There wasn't anything out of place, until a loud 'crash' could be heard, startling everyone and causing them to scream.
The sky changed from light blue to dark red, an evil aura surrounding every single spot of the city. Danny's ghost sense was getting stronger, making him shiver from the sudden coldness in his insides. His friends were giving him worried glances, but luckily they were the only ones that noticed, for everyone else was running away from the classroom.
"Lord of the Flies! Get out of here children!" Mr. Lancer yelled over the roars of the students.
Window glasses shattered into nothing as the wind blew harder, cutting the flesh of the kids that were nearby. Screams of pain could be heard, getting softer and sentimental until they were completely replaced by fright, getting their voices caught on their throats.
Danny, not knowing what else to do he crunched down to the floor and transformed into Danny Phantom, turning invisible incase someone was watching him. This wasn't the case, so after a few seconds of floating on top of the chaos, he noticed the ghost that was causing it.
"You! What are you doing here?" He asked as the ghost appeared on front of him with a smile on her face.
"I'm here to grant wishes!" Desiree smiled and just with a snap of her fingers, huge wild and beastly rabbits and bears appeared out of nowhere.
"Who would wish for these!?" Tucker asked Sam from the ground.
"I dunno. Do you have the thermos?" She said while frowning to the arguing ghosts.
Tucker frowned too, remembering something now that was bothering him all day. "Oh no! I left it at home!"
"Mine's on my locker, let's go!" She yelled while running to the door, Tucker hot at her heels.
"Now that I'm free, I'll be as powerful as ever!" She smiled evilly, punching Danny with a pink blast. "Now I will-"
"You're gonna tell me your plans so soon? I usually get to kick your butt before you do!" He mocked with a blast.
"Silence!" She yelled and then mumbled to herself. "I need to grant wishes quick to maintain my form… or else I'll turn to ectoplasm!"
Danny had kicked her, making her turn into a green blob of goop on the floor. "Sorry fairy-blob-mother, no wishes… or pumpkins here!" He smiled victoriously, but his mind was thinking something else. "That may have been the lamest pun ever…"
She returned to her average form and yelled in rage, punching furiously at the ghost boy. After a few hits, he fell to the ground hard, crushing a chair. Desiree smiled proudly, flying through the roof before he could even get up.
Tucker and Sam came through the door; he had the thermos in hand and in the blink of an eye, he pushed a button, not realizing that Desiree wasn't around, capturing Danny instead. He screamed as he got stuck inside the mechanical thermos, feeling his whole body compressed at the sudden pressure.
"TUCKER!" Danny and Sam yelled in unison, although Danny's voice wasn't quite clear.
"Sorry! I'll get you out!" He said, looking for the release button. After finding it and aiming to the ground, he pushed it, sending Danny to roll helplessly on the floor.
"Are you okay?" Sam asked immediately, bending down next to him.
"I feel like fresh canned tuna…" He said with a disgusted face. He sent
Tucker a glare, which he responded with a sheepish smile, and flew through the ceiling in search of the green skinned ghost.
"Damn! She's gone." He mumbled to himself, still looking around. "Well, there won't be anymore school for the day; I should probably go on patrol then…"
"Nice going there, Tucker." Sam replied sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"At least I tried to help!" He defended, raising his arms in protection. "Come on! We gotta find Danny!"
She nodded and followed him out of the classroom, cursing for having to wear such an uncomfortable skirt. "This is one more I'm gonna dump once I'm home…" After getting outside, they didn't find Danny and guessed that he went to look for Desiree.
"She's not that powerful, I'm sure he's okay." Tucker assured with a shrug. "But just in case…"
He picked up his cell phone and dialed Danny's number, receiving exactly the same news he expected. "He's fine. He wants to meet us at your house, you're okay with that?"
"Meh… sure!" She half smiled. "Oh, that way I'll be able to give you the news!"
"What news?" Tucker asked while hanging up.
She shook her head no and just smiled. "You'll find out with Danny… I'm sure you'll be happy!"
"…Okay…" Tucker mumbled in defeat and they continued to walk to Sam's mansion. Once they arrived, he still wasn't used to its size. "I can't believe you live here!"
Sam wanted to tell him that the size of her house, how much money she owned, how many cars she had already even if she wasn't old enough to drive, or anything along those lines didn't mean anything to her, but that wasn't exactly what she said.
"Sometimes I can't believe it either! How lucky I must be!" She smiled widely, almost frighteningly, and Tucker could have sworn that her eye twitched.
"Are you okay Sam? You're not giving me the 'money isn't the biggest thing in the world' speech…" He said while eyeing her carefully, noticing how forced her smile was. "Why are you doing this to yourself?"
"What do you mean?" She asked, still smiling but letting her cheeks fall a little. "I'm not doing anything to myself."
They were an awkward silence, so they entered her house and climbed the stairs. Tucker half expected her room to change like her and already imagined it filled with many stuffed animals and lots of pink fuzzy covers. Luckily, it hadn't change… except for the floor and bed that were covered with many puffy dresses.
"Uh… Sam?" Tucker started, but she had already started explaining.
"I was looking for a dress for the party that I was gonna have… oh, that's what I wanted… to tell you…" Sam admitted sheepishly with a little smile. "So… are you coming?"
"You!? Throwing a preppy party!?" He gasped with his eyes wide in shock. "Of course I'll come to a party in a mansion!"
"Good. Do you think that Danny would come…?" She asked hopefully.
"Come where?" Came a voice from her window. It was Danny in ghost mode, who had his head inside the building through the glass. "What are you talking about… if I can know?"
"Sam's having a fancy party." Tucker smiled happily. "So, you're coming?"
"Ha-ha, very funny. Now, what's this about?" He said sarcastically, obviously not believing a word he said.
"No, really. Do you want to come to my party? It'll be tomorrow night." Sam informed with a small frown.
"Are you being serious? But… that doesn't seem like you!" He insisted while phasing through the window. His eyes found the dresses on the floor, dresser, closet, bed and mostly every available surface. "You're… not kidding, are you?"
"No. So, are you coming or not?" Sam exhaustingly asked, looking at his deep crystal orbs. "I really would like it if you did."
"I guess I can come." He shrugged while transforming human. "What's the dress code?"
"It's… formal. Do you guys have a tux?" She shivered slightly, but only Tucker noticed.
Danny thought and nodded. "Yeah, we do. From the dance, remember?"
Both of them nodded, and smiled. Suddenly, Danny's ghost sense went off. "Well, better get going!"
In the distance, a much known battle cry was heard and the trio rolled their eyes. "I am the Box Ghost!!!"
"See you tomorrow guys!" Danny waved while phasing out of the room, leaving his two best friends alone.
There was an awkward silence, and Sam knew what was going to happen; she didn't like it one bit. Tucker started to interrogate her… again!
