A Ghostly Imaginary Friend
A/N: Here it is the chapter you've been looking forward too. Any way I got tired of typing out full names so Little Danny Fenton is now L Danny or LD and Black Time is BT and Danny Phantom is DP. Should read A Halfa's Best Friend before reading this or you wouldn't understand a few things and I hate repeating my self.
Ch. 9 Friends in the Park
Day 5
It was a sunny day at just the right temperature. It was the perfect day to be outside and it was killing Danny he was spending the morning in the car and in the mall school supply shopping.
"Okay I've got a different color notebook for all my subjects now I need folders" Jazz said looking at the stake of notebooks in her hands.
"Will you hurry up Jazz, I want to go to the park" Danny said wanting to get to the park as fast of possible.
"Some things never change" DP said, invisible leaning against a shelf holding art boxes, knowing Jazz was just as obsession with school in the future as now.
"The folders are over here, hurry" L Danny said dumping his notebooks in the shopping cart and running in the direction of the folders.
Maddie wasn't sure how her son know where all the supplies were, especially since the mall just opened and he never been here before (if only she knew).
"Speaking from experience if you make Jazz hurry she'll take even longer making sure she didn't miss anything" DP said.
"My sister drives me crazy" LD said standing next to DP with his arms crossed and an annoyed look.
"Talking to Phantom again" Maddie said walking up next to her son making DP do a quick side step so she won't bumping into what she thought was empty space.
"Yep" LD said knowing full well that his mom didn't believe in DP but pretended to any way.
Finally for what seemed like forever for LD they got all their school supplies and left the mall. The van was filled with bags of supplies packed around the two kids and the seats.
DP was following them through the sky. One reason was he was worried his parents may notice an impression on the seat and another seat belt buckled with nothing there. The second reason was he enjoyed flying it relaxed him and gather his thoughts.
"Can we go to the park now" LD asked crammed in the back seat with his sister and supplies.
"Yes, we did say we would after we got school supplies" Maddie said from the front seat.
"Great to the park" her husband yelled making a tight turn forcing the rest of the family to grip their seats.
"What am I going to do at the park" Jazz whined as she rather be at home organizing her school supplies or reading up on some sort of school subjects.
Jazz always had jump start books for what ever grade she was going into only because they didn't give you your text books till the first day of school.
"You could try being quiet and stop complaining" LDanny said to Jazz in the car.
Finally they reached the park and parked on the curb across from one of the main entrances.
LD flung the door open and jumped out as fast as he could. LD stood an the sidewalk bouncing in place in anticipation, he would of walked across the street to the park himself but he wasn't allowed to cross the street on his own.
"Hurry up, hurry" LD said getting more excited when he saw DP landing on the stone wall of the park.
"Calm down Danny it's not going anywhere" Maddie said to her restless son.
LD held his mothers hand as they crossed the street but LD was pulling on his mother's arm trying to get her to go faster.
DP hopped off the wall and flew off to the playground not far inside.
As soon as the Fenton's reached the other end of the street LD ran into the park as fast as he could to follow DP.
"Slow down Danny" Maddie said breaking into a run her self to keep up with her son.
Danny saw the play ground filled with kids and came to a halt.
"Danny don't go running off like that stay where I can keep an eye on you" Maddie said catching up with her son.
"Sorry just wanted to get here as fast as I could" LD said to his mom but not really meaning it as he scanned the area for DP.
"This the place you wanted to go in the park" Maddie asked looking at her son then the play ground.
"Yep" LD answered spotting DP under a tree just off from the play ground.
LD ran off to talk to DP as the rest of the family caught up with them.
"Great he wants us to come all the way here, and he has all these other kids he can talk to and he talks to a tree" Jazz says seeing LD taking to the tree (unknown to her DP was leaning against.)
"He just talking to his friend Phantom again" Maddie explained to her daughter.
"Mom he needs to grow up and get real friends" Jazz said still thinking it wasn't right for Danny to have this imaginary friend.
"Jazz he's still young just let him be there's nothing wrong with an imaginary friend and he'll make real friends soon enough" Maddie told her daughter not understanding her statement toward her brother.
"So what do we do now" LD asked DP.
"First just relax" DP answered.
DP looked over at his family, Jazz sat on a bench to read a 2nd grade jump start book and his parents were at a picnic table looking over what he was sure was some sort of blue prints for a weapon to fight ghosts, some things never change he thought.
"Danny" LD whined shaking DP out of his thoughts.
"Just relax and go play I'll get you as soon as got everything together" DP said scanning the playground.
"You can't let me do this alone, you don't know this but I have a real trouble making friends, I goes okay at first but once they get to know me they don't stay my friends and avoid me" LD in a rather sad way.
DP was about to comfort his younger self when he heard a woman's voice say the name Tucker Foley.
"I'll be right back just wait here" DP said to LD and he flew off.
DP flew over the sand box and on the edge was an African American boy with thick glasses and a red hat. He wore a long sleeve red shirt and tan knee long shorts. His mother was looking down at him with her hands on her hip and an angry look on her face.
"Tucker I told you to stop playing with these silly electronic what ever they are and get some exercise while you're outside" Tuck's mother said pull a bulky electronic out of his hands.
"But mom they're not silly and I didn't even want to be outside" Tucker complained "You always make me come here."
"You're going to be in kindergarten this year it's time you spend time with other kids instead of spending time with things with buttons and wires" Mrs. Foley said. "Here play with this" she said handing her son a red rubber ball then walked away. Tucker dropped the ball and kicked it in anger then chased after it.
'Tucker was and always will be a techno geek' thought DP as he floated over the young Tucker.
Tucker was standing in one spot just dribbling the ball when DP landed behind him. Tucker felt like there was someone behind him and he looked over his shoulder but didn't see anyone. DP watched the ball and in mid bounce pushed it away from Tucker in a general direction he wanted Tucker to go. Tucker seeing his ball his mother gave him bounce off went after it. DP zipped in front of the run away ball and started to walk away dribbling it to make it look like the ball was bouncing on its own and not floating, since he was invisible. DP looked over his shoulder every so many steps to make sure Tucker was following.
"Stupid ball" Tucker huffed tired of chasing his ball across the play ground.
DP was standing only a few feet from LD with Tucker coming along.
"Danny catch" DP call tossing the ball to LD.
LD caught the ball and was standing there for a few moments holding the ball confused as DP disappeared.
"Hey can you throw it back" Tucker said trying to catch his breath standing not far from LD.
"Uh is this your ball" LD asked looking at boy then the ball.
"Yes" Tucker responded.
"Introduce your self" DP said some how getting behind LD with out him noticing.
"I'm Danny Fenton" LD said, after a few seconds DP grabbed his hand extending it for a handshake.
"I'm Tucker or Tuck for short" Tucker said taking Danny's hand and shaking. "Are you new?" Tucker asked.
"Yes, how could you tell" LD asked.
"My parents always take me to the park even though I don't want to so I tend to know most of the kids that come here" Tucker explained.
"How can you not like coming to the park" LD yelled.
"I'd rather be on some new electronic and plus I'm not much for physical play" Tucker explained.
"Weakling" LD exclaimed.
"Am not" Tucker insisted.
"Are too, I bet I could throw this ball and catch it before you" LD bet Tucker.
"Could not," Tucker said then went on to say "I accept your challenge."
Danny throws the ball in some random direction and both boys took off after it.
Tucker was losing badly to the younger Danny but it wasn't long that they completely forget their bet and were just having fun playing together.
A/N: Please review. In the next chapter we know LD meet Tucker but we've got some more kids interesting in making an appearance and I'm not just talking Sam. Now that I said that you're going who stop with the torture.
