Phantom of the Hill
Chapter 2 – Suspicions and Secrets
Sam had began to notice how guarded Connie had been around her and Danny.
She would flinch whenever either of them so much as moved. She had also noticed that she had only started acting this way after her and Danny had fought the box ghost.
She had decided to talk to Danny about the way that Connie had been acting for the last few days.
So here she was, sitting in her and Danny's room, with a now paranoid Danny Fenton sitting in front of her.
"You think she knows?" he asked, clearly shocked. Sam nodded. "Oh, this is not good, not good at all." He muttered. "I can't believe this! I haven't even told my own parents yet!"
"You could tell them right now you know. They could help you keep it a secret, and help you make sure that Connie doesn't know."
Danny looked shocked, but then put it under consideration. Finally, he sighed in defeat.
"Do you really think that's a good idea Sam?" she nodded, smiling at him gently. "Alright, I guess I'll tell them if you think it's a good idea, I trust you."
Sam blushed furiously at that comment, but Danny was already down the hall, so she was saved from mortification.
In the living room, his parents were watching TV with the Hill parents.
"Mom, Dad, can I talk to you?" both Fentons looked up at their son.
"Sure! Shoot Danny boy!" boomed Jack cheerfully. Danny sighed.
"It's something private." Both Fentons looked at the Hills who were lost in their TV screen. His parents nodded and followed him down the hallway.
Once they were in the room, they sat down on the bed while Sam and Danny stood next to each other in front of them.
"Sam, I'm not sure I can do this." Said Danny, starting to look frightened. Sam whispered some words of encouragement in his ear, and he nodded.
Facing his curious parents, he took a deep breath and reached into his center, where the familiar coldness of his ghost half lay.
He summoned the glowing blue rings around his waist. Ignoring his parents' startled gasped, he forced them to separate.
As they moved, his T-shirt and blue jeans turned into a black and white Hazmat suit, not at all stranger to the Fentons, and his Baby Blue eyes changed to a glowing Neon Green. His black hair turned a Silvery White.
"I'm Danny Phantom." He said. He looked down at his feet, scared to look at their faces, but his mother lifted his chin, ignoring the coldness of his ghost body, and looked into his eyes.
"I'm happy you told us Danny." She said, then hugged him tight, running her long fingers through his white hair. Jack just smiled with… pride… at his son.
"Told you so." Said Sam playfully in his ear. He just shrugged and pulled out of his mother's suffocating embrace.
Behind the door, they heard a loud thump outside. Danny's eyes widened and he peered out, and came face to face with a shocked Bobby. He was breathing heavily with surprise, but to Danny's relief, not fear.
"Your that Ghost from the Mall?" he asked. Danny nodded, seeing no way to get around the fact that the kid knew. Suddenly, Bobby smiled like a little kid on Christmas, and Faced Danny.
"That was so cool!" he yelled. "The way you were like all "POW!" and "BANG!" and "TAKE THAT!" and-" Danny looked back at his parents and girlfriend for support, but they were all giggling. Danny looked bewildered at the sight of Sam laughing like that, but quickly got over it.
"Well, see you later!" said the overweight Texan, practically skipping off to his room.
"Looks like Danny has a Fan boy." Joked Sam, causing both Fentons to giggle silently. Danny glowered at them, but sighed again.
"There's a specific reason I told you both today." He said. Both Fentons once again had serious expressions on their faces as they faced their son. Danny changed back to human, and explained to them the Connie situation.
"Sam said that she has been acting weird around me ever since the Mall, where I fought the Box Ghost." He said.
"Yeah, and she flinches if we even so much as move!" said Sam. Both Fentons had concerned looks on their faces. Both were hoping that this Connie girl would stay quite about what she might have seen.
Back in Bobby's room, he was on the phone with Connie.
"Yeah! I'm serious! Danny is the ghost from the mall. Two blue rings formed around his waist, and presto! He's a ghost!"
Connie was pretending to be surprised. She had known that he was the ghost, but she didn't know that his parents hadn't known that he was the ghost.
Then again, from what she looked up, the Fentons where Ghost Hunters, so it was obvious that he would keep it a secret for so long.
She made up her mind. She would confront Danny Fenton the next day, and get some answers for her endless questions. She was determined to figure out just what this bot actually was.
Well, that's chapter two! Please review! I don't really feel motivated to write if nobody reviews…
