~Dash's POV~
I watched as Danny Fenton, or should I say Danny Phantom, take off into the darkening sky. My faced turned into awe as he casually flew over to the robot like ghost, confident and he actually seemed to be amused at his (yes, he looks like a guy) appearance. Had it been me, well, you can assume that I would scream like a girl and run into the nearest alley, although this probably wouldn't be the best plan of action, it's what I typically did, whether I wanted to or not. But I had to let that go, I wasn't supposed to act like a weakling, I'm on the football team for god's sake, this should be nothing. I would change, that would without a doubt happen, and I will make it happen.
Danny Phantom had been my biggest hero as well as inspiration ever since he saved from that fedora wearing prison ghost. That day became the highlight of my life, well not anymore, seeing as though I was now a part of all of the action. Well, I assumed that to be the case, just knowing his secret was enough for me and I was more than willing to keep it. After all, he had saved me on numerous occasions, it was the least I could do in return.
I was shocked, and I quite frankly didn't believe it when I first saw Fen-Danny, transform. How the hell he did that was pure magic to me. Although he had taken the time to explain it all to me I still didn't get it. I never took my education seriously, largely thinking that I would get a school scholarship for my athletics., and the same could be said about my attendance record. Once Danny had brought parallel dimensions, ectoplasmic filtrators, and spectral entities I had this blank expression on my face. A rough equivalent would be trying to teach a jock how to cheer, we're just not built for it...
Before I knew it the fifth period bell had rung, signaling it was time to move onto the next class. Had we really been out here for almost an hour? God, it didn't seem like it... Nonetheless I sauntered into sixth hour (which I happened to share with Danny), and met the coach outside of the locker room. She was pissed, probably because I was already supposed to be changing ten minutes ago. Her arms were folded across her chest, telling me that she was less than thrilled to see me.
"Baxter, where were you?' She yelled. I looked her dead in the eye, I wouldn't back down now, nor ever again.
"Bathroom, the cafeteria food didn't agree with me." I replied in monotone, not breaking my gaze. Tetslaff snorted, letting her arms drop to her sides.
"And Fenton?"
"Same, today was mystery meat." Tetslaff nodded, now understanding.
"They really need to update the school menu, something that'll give kids the energy they need rather than that garbage." She shook her head, ushering me into the locker room. She told me to dress quickly and to join them outside for a round of dodgeball as soon as I was done. I had told her that I would be out in a few minutes, providing that I was 'no longer having stomach spasms'. I walked quietly to my locker, staring down blankly at the lock. Crap, I forgot my combination. I tugged on it, trying to see if it would, by some miracle, open. It didn't, and I pounded on it with my fist. Little did I now Danny was standing behind me with an amused expression plastered to his pale face.
"Forgot your combination, eh?" He said. I nodded, restraining my instincts to shove him against a locker. Instead, I did something that I thought I would never do.
"Would you...mind helping me?" I asked slowly, uncertain of how to address him. He chuckled, turning his arm intangible to mess around with the interior lock.
"You don't need to be afraid of me, you know." Danny said in a quiet voice, giving a small smile towards me. I cocked my head, not anticipating this reaction from him.
"Fent-Danny, I've bullied you since middle school, and for the past year you've had the ability to beat me up, yet you haven't. I don't deserve to be treated as well as you are treating me now. It's just that...it's different getting to know this side of you... The one I've looked up to for the past year, it's weird." Danny continued to work on the lock, pulling his arm out of the locker after a click sounded from within. He gently opened it, wincing at the small slightly but passed it off.
"Jazz said something similar when she found out, although it wasn't those words exactly... She was shocked that I hadn't told her, and was slightly hesitant of being near me for the first while. She soon got used to knowing, and she now helps me on my missions. And I've had a...certain experience in my past that has made me realize how much it really hurts to hold things against people." He shrugged. "It's just how I am now." I smiled, nervously rubbing my arm.
"Danny...do you think we could be friends? I mean, I'm sorry for what I've done in the past, a-and I can'-"
"Dash." Danny said, shaking his head again at me. I frowned, had I done something wrong? I held my breath and awaited his verdict.
"Dash, first of all, I forgive ya. Second, I think you should know that you're kinda a part of Team Phantom, so yeah, we're friends." I could've died of happiness right there, and I hugged him immediately, which he inhaled from shock.
"Thank you so much Danny!" I yelled, now swinging him back and forth. "This is the best day of my life!" I saw Danny grunt, but smiled faintly.
"I still need to breath!" He said, and I released him upon command. He wandered over to his locker, pulling out his clothes from the inside. I began to change into our school gym clothes, a smiled wide across my face.
"Just to let ya know, I said you got sick from the cafeteria lunch and we're playing dodgeball." I said in a normal tone, sliding the red and white shirt over my head. I heard him sigh, and I awaited his reply.
"Again? Jeez, you guys and your deforming sports..." I smiled, suppressing a chuckle. "Oh, and Dash?"
"Yeah?" He came closer to me, one of his shoes still untied but he was in his clothes, nonetheless.
"Thanks...for keeping this all a secret for me...and for covering for me." I smiled.
"What're friends for?" We smiled together, the first real one that we've ever shared.
I knew from here on, we'd be in this together.
...Well, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz too.
But hey, I wasn't complaining.
