All I have to say is this: Ha ha! Hee hee! I'm an evil author! Danny Phantom must hate me for this…
Danny came to school late that day. "Danny!" Tucker greeted his friend. "Where have you-" Danny put a finger to his lips.
"Ghost trouble?" Sam asked. Danny just shook his head, and put a hand on her shoulder, and the other on Tucker's. Intangible, he pulled them literally through a door, and into an empty classroom.
"Danny, what's wrong? You're creeping me out dude," Tucker complained.
"Yeah," Sam agreed. Danny stayed invisible.
"I've got something to show you guys." Even though they couldn't see him, they could tell something was wrong.
"Then show us," Tucker told him, spinning around, trying to detect some notion that his friend was still in the room. A sigh could be heard.
"Fine. But you have to promise not to laugh." Now Sam sighed.
"Tucker's right Danny. Just show us." Suddenly Danny appeared, and he opened his mouth. Sam and Tucker gasped. Braces covered both Danny's top and bottom teeth.
"Shiny," Tucker managed. Sam tried to control her laughter behind her hand. Danny narrowed his eyes.
"Are they that bad?" Tucker nodded.
"Oh yeah." Danny groaned.
"This bites!" Sam laughed even harder.
"Was that a pun?" Danny glared.
"No!" Tucker shook his head in empathy.
"Does it hurt?" Danny nodded.
"Yes, and it still does!" The bell rang. All three teens sighed. "Lancer," Danny muttered. "Let's go."
"Who would like to read their essay first?" Danny sank lower in his seat. The less people who knew he had braces the better. "Ah, how about you Mr. Fenton? Turning invisible is very unlikely."
Gee Mr. Lancer, how would you know? Danny thought. So much for secrecy. Grudgingly he made his way to the front of the room, paper in his hand. He took a gulp.
"Any day now."
Sigh. "California was the first state to-"
"Fenton's got braces!" someone shrieked.
"Hey metal mouth, I can't hear you!" Laughter rang dully in Danny's ears.
"Fenton, close your mouth! The brightness is blinding me!" The bell rang. 9th period was over, and so was school. Slapping his paper down on Mr. Lancer's desk, Danny ran out of the room. He grabbed his books from his locker and left. He went to the park and climbed a tree. He just wanted to be alone.
Told you Danny was gonna hate me! Ah well. Chapter 3, So Close, coming soon. Very soon. Mah ha ha!
