Phantom of the Hill
Chapter 3 –Dash and Vlad
Danny was beginning to worry about the way Connie continued to act. It was as if he was a wild animal. If she didn't know the day before, she sure as heck knew now. Bobby had told her that he was Danny Phantom, and she refused to believe he was the good guy without solid proof.
They were heading to the mall yet again, mainly because their last trip was interrupted by the ever annoying Box Ghost, and he was determined to have an at least half decent trip to the mall without some pest screeching 'I am the Box Ghost! Fear Me!'. Personally, it got on Danny's nerves.
They entered the mall, and Danny was almost in the Food Court, when something horrible happened.
"Fen-turd!?" Danny's eyes went wide. There was no way, it couldn't be… but it was true. Danny turned to see none other than Dash Baxter, who was standing next to an Native American boy, eho looked to be about fourteen years of age, about a year younger than Danny. Bobby and Connie seemed to recognize the boy, and weren't surprised to see him.
"Hey Joseph." Said Bobby casually as he high-fived the boy. Sam and Danny were at a loss for words. Why the heck was Dash here, in Texas? "Hey, is this your cousin you told me about?" asked Bobby. Joseph nodded.
"This is Dash. His Dad is my dad's brother." (A/N:For those who don't know, his real dad is John Redcorn, but he still views Dale as his dad. So Dash's dad is Dale's brother.) Danny looked frightened by the bulky teen, and Connie made a mental note of this. She would figure it all out soon enough.
"This is just not my day…" muttered Danny. Dash reluctantly followed the group, mainly because Joseph was the only one he knew.
They sat down at a table that was next to a Japanese restaurant, because they were in a food court, and Bobby and Connie started talking to each other, leaving the other four to come up with a suitable topic.
"So Danny," it was Joseph who talked. "Is what Connie said true? Are you really that Danny Phantom ghost from Amity? Are you half ghost?" Danny and Sam's eyes widened as they slowly turned to see what Dash was doing.
Yep, just as Danny thought. He was jaw slacked, wide eyed, and completely and completely free of utterance. In other words, Dash was shocked.
"Um, I can explain?" Dash had no change in emotions. Danny sighed, then looked at Joseph. "Okay, here's the deal, Dash goes to my school, and he hates me. Nobody in Amity even knows that I'm Danny Phantom, so you just blew my secret to the one person in all of Casper high, which is my high school, that hates me enough to pound me into the wall in between periods."
At that point, Joseph was at a loss for words to say the least. He looked at Danny apologetically, but Danny just turned away. What was this trip becoming? A secret give away exclusively for him? Sam hugged him from behind and he relaxed into it. This was enough to bring Dash back from the dead.
"You two are together?" asked a shocked Dash. Danny and Sam turned to him, and Danny smiled sheepishly while Sam nodded. "Crap, now I have to pay that Foley kid thirty bucks!" Sam's face lit up with anger. Tucker had placed a bet on if they would get together, and the jock was most likely not the only one.
She snatched her cell and dialed Tuckers number as angrily as humanly possible, and walked away to give the geek a piece of her mind.
Danny turned back to Dash, and sighed. Now he would have to explain this to yet another person.
"Dash, do you want to know what Joseph was talking about?" Dash nodded expectantly, sitting down next to Danny. Danny sighed and got ready for a long talk.
"Okay, here's the story, in freshman year, near the beginning, me, Sam and Tucker were in my parent's lab in the basement."
"Sam wanted me to go in, since back then it didn't work, and try to fix it. I when it with a Hazmat suit on, hence the Danny Phantom getup, and tripped."
"When I fell I hit a button on the wall. It was the 'ON' button. Then,.. . . there was pain. So much pain."
"I fell out of the portal, and they dragged me out, only something was different. It was as if someone had clicked an invert colors button."
"My hair was white, and the colors on my Hazmat suit had switched. Then I went through weeks of trying to control the powers I had gotten, but I still slipped up a lot. And that's pretty much it."
Dash was once again in a state of shock. Danny sighed and decided to go check up on Sam. She was practically screaming into the phone, and Danny winced. He felt bad for Tucker, but not much. He was angry about the bets too.
And when they got back, Danny Phantom was going to have some fun with Tucker.
Awhile off, in a comfy mansion in Wisconsin, sat a evil billionaire, grinning wickedly at a map that had a glowing red dot over Texas.
This was Vlad, and he was sceaming yet again.
He was sure that he wouldn't fail this time.
"Soon Daniel, very soon. . . "
