Yay an update! And After I had Red Velvet Cake….. try it! Its delicious :p

Anyways here are some Danny Phantom Cakes for all those ideas:D and I know what im going to use heehee

SO ON WITH IT!

……………………………………………

While getting ready for school, Danny thought over the essays he had written. He WANTED Lancer to know, he hoped it would be easier for him to know.

But Danny just kept on making it more difficult.

He hoped that today's essay was……normal. He hoped it wasn't anything about Phantom, or his future. He would probably write a whole bunch of things for Phantom but for the future…..Danny shuddered at the thought of it.

"Bye Mom, Bye Dad!" he called out as he walked out his door, meeting up with his two best friends. He stared at them for a moment before smiling and walking towards the school. His friends caught up with him and he hugged them both.

He started laughing when they tried pushing him away and he went running when they started chasing him.

A good day so far.

…………………………………………….

Danny stared wide-eyed at the teacher. He made it early to the class. His friends (still chasing after him) were at the front of the school. His English teacher just told him the next essay.

How do we see ourselves in the future. That was the essay topic. Memories came into his mind. He didn't notice how his breathing had become irregular or when the teacher came up to him and asked "What's wrong?"

That brought him back to the present. He calmed down after a few seconds and gave a nervous chuckle. "I'm just creeped out on how the universe just loves to mess with me….." he muttered before walking to his seat. He didn't look at his teachers expression after he said that.

When Danny sat in his seat he took out piece of paper and pencil. He wrote for a few moments before sighing and staring at the wall. Lancer jumped when the door opened and in walked Tucker and Sam. They glanced at Lancer and then to Danny. Their expressions became worried and they ran over to him and started talking with him in hushed whispers.

Once the bell rang they all stopped talking and got prepared (minus Danny) Sam and Tucker began to write but Danny just stared at the paper. Finally after it seemed like days (it was only 5 minutes actually) he picked up his pencil and began to write.

How I see myself in the future

By Danny Fenton

That is the toughest question known to man. Because we decide our future when were young. And as we get older our future we want gets changed by destiny, or maybe by an accident.

We can't exactly decide our future and automatically become what we want…..I wanted to become an astronaut but that decision was shattered a long time ago.

Once I accepted what happened something worse came along….and that just nearly broke me apart……to see what could happen in just a matter of 10 years!! And I NEVER want that to repeat……it's too painful to even think about let alone remember it.

Something bad happened to people I care about and it made me become what I never want to be. I got the chance to see it. I got the chance to see what happened that made me that. It was all a chance. There's a chance it might happen again, no matter how hard I stay away from it, it always comes back.

All because of me.

ME! I caused THAT to happen. It was ME that became that. ME, ME , ME, ME!!!!

That me turned into him in THAT future…..and he kept taunting me on how I would "become like him" he kept reminding me how he was "still there" his voice is still in my head…..his laugh is still in my thought…..the way he looked at every living thing…..it's always in my dreams.

Every bit of him is in my dreams. I can't ever lock him away. I look in the mirror and expect to see him but I don't. I just see myself. I see the pain I've gone through on that "day" and everything else that happened before and after.

I see hope. I always hope it won't happen again. If it does I know how to stop it. I see love, how some people comforted me after that. I see blame, I blame myself for all of it.

My future, that's all there is. Pain, Hope, Love, Blame. I don't decide my future. The universe will decide. Destiny will be there, Fate will make it happen. I will live on to finish it.

We only get one chance at the future ( sometimes even two!) so we have to accept that chance and try to keep everything in order because if you don't, you end up doing things you'll regret, and you'll become something you wouldn't imagine yourself being.

Time plays a big part in this. Most questions revolve around it like: "How many times do I have to try before I succeed?" or "How much time do I have before I can take a shot at destiny?" or maybe even "How many more times do I have to be in school before I take a shot at this chance?"

Those questions circle around everyone's mind. I'm certain of it. Even in mine. After all as the saying goes:

It's only a matter of time.

Lancer, who had already given the paper it's honorable A+, stared at the student in front of him. His messy raven black hair was covering his eyes, refusing to show any emotion to the teacher.

"Danny what is the meaning of this essay? You seemed…..so afraid when it got turned in….." the English teacher asked softly.

Finally the student looked up and said "Do you know what its like for you to see a possible future for you? Do you know what its like for the ones you care about to nearly DIE?!"

His voice cracked towards the end of that statement and he let his head bow down, his eyes clenching so no tears could fall out. When he opened them, not looking at Lancer but at his jeans, they were a dull green.

"Can I go know Mr. Lancer?" he asked quietly. Mr. Lancer sighed and said "Very well, you may leave…." The young teenager nodded and stood up, not meeting his teacher's eyes, he ran out of there in 5 seconds.

The teacher sighed and turned to the board. Writing down the next essay topic his thoughts were whirring, trying to figure out Danny.

He stared at the board. In big letters it read:

DREAMS.

He knew he wouldn't find out the boys secret with this topic but he hoped it would help calm the boy after this essay.

He just hoped.
