Avoiding Our Problems Chapter 3:

Chapter 3:

He opened his window and gave it to the ghost birds. He watched them fly away and when they were out of sight he began to pack his bags. He thought about Sam and Tucker and their reaction to his decision. He wanted to say goodbye to them but it was already 11:30 and he needed to finish packing.

Once he was finished packing he transformed into Danny Phantom and flew out the window. With a last look at what had once been his home, he flew off toward the park. He landed a few blocks from the park, turned back into Danny Fenton, and started to walk towards the park.

"Excuse me," said a voice behind him. "but could you tell me which way I have to go to get to a place called the Nasty Burger?"

"Sure." he said. "You just go two blocks that way then take a left and go five blocks and your there."

"Thanks, I'm Danielle," said the girl offering her hand. "What's your name?"

"Danny. Danny Fenton. Are you new to town?" said Danny shaking her hand.

"Yeah I am. Say, why don't you come with me to the Nasty Burger and you can tell me all about Amity Park." She suggested.

"I would love to," he said. "but I have to be somewhere. I'm meeting. . . someone."

"Oh," said Danielle looking crestfallen. "Yeah so do I. I'm came to visit my brother." For a few minutes there was silence between them, then she said, "Well, I'll see you around then?"

"I don't think so. I'm on my way out of town, and I don't think I'll be coming back." Danny checked his watch. It was two minutes till midnight.

"I'm sorry but I really have to go." He started to walk towards the park. "Good luck finding the Nasty Burger." he said over his shoulder.

"Bye Danny. It was nice to meet you." she yelled after him.

"Nice meeting you too." he yelled over his shoulder. He turned a corner and ran into the park. He looked at his watch again. It was now 11:59. He started to look around for Vlad's jet. At the very center of the park he saw it. He walked over to the man standing next to the door.

"Are you Danny Fenton?" asked the man.

"Yes," answered Danny.

"Right this way Mr. Fenton," said the man, gesturing to the stairs behind him. Danny walked up the stairs and sat in one of the window seats in the center of the plane. The planes engine rumbled to life and they lifted off the ground. He looked out the window for a last look at the town that had once been his home.

"Goodbye." he whispered softly as his only home slowly disappeared into the horizon. When Amity Park was out of sight Danny turned away from the window and let his thoughts drift back to Danielle.
