Yup. This is the drill. I update really close together right after a post a new story, then the updates thin out. I'm extremely happy that this has already gotten reviews and stuffs. People who reviewed, this is my response:

Inviso-Al: Not necessarily. The way natural portals work in this story is that all the ones open at once lead to the same place.

ThAt CrAzy Ch1ck: Thank you for the constructive criticism. I'll try to polish up on that. I scream, you scream, we all scream for reviews!

Tlane484: Wasn't planning on abandoning it. I haven't abandoned any of my stories, despite it being a long time since I've done The Forgotten One.

I don't own Danny Phantom or Ultimate Spider Man and blah blah blah… onwards!

Chapter 1

The New Guy

(Spidey POV)

Two weeks had passed since that weird explosion sound was heard. Pretty much everyone's stopped talking about it, but I still wonder what in the world it was, considering what I found when I got to the park.

Flashback

"Alright Fury, on my way," I said, and hung up.

I started swinging across the city to investigate.

I had my sarcasm, jokes, and anything in between ready and everything for the fight I was probably going to run into.

When I arrived, the park it came from had a curious crowd of people, and the park itself was in shambles, but no one hurt. I wondered what would have the power to do that and escape the detection of S.H.I.E.L.D.. I stood on stakeout for a little while before people started leaving, and before long the park was empty. Or what was left of it. I turned to go back to the helicarrier when I saw a boy that looked about my age curled up behind a bush shaking. He was clutching something in his hand with white knuckles. He had messy black hair and was wearing a tattered white and red shirt with jeans and red sneakers. I walked up to him.

"You alright man?" I asked.

He shot straight up and bolted away. Maybe he was an anti-Spidey or something. I returned to the helicarrier to report my findings. They told me to keep a close eye on the guy I found. Yeah, it's not like he would be hard to find in freaking New York. Sarcasm, my friend, sarcasm. I didn't see why they wanted information on this guy, anyway. I sighed and went home to study for a test.

The next day, the ghost sightings started.

Back to present

I almost couldn't believe I was still curious about that black haired kid from two weeks ago. I told myself not to be a stalker. I had other things to worry about anyway. Ever since the ghost sightings started, Fury has been on my back about dealing with them. Over lunch, I was planning to talk to my team about it. I heard the bell ring and ran to the classroom, hoping the teacher wouldn't mind if I was a little late.

I burst into math class to see the teacher standing next to…

That guy?

(Danny POV)

After two weeks of moping around doing nothing, I tried to pull myself together. I needed to focus on building up a life here. Which would be difficult, considering I was fifteen and I had no parent or guardian accompanying me on this move. I cleared my head. It was too painful to think about.

I headed to the nearest library, but not before I got lost a million times, even with directions. When I finally found my way to the library, I sat down at a computer and started researching the nearest schools. As much as I hated school, if I ever wanted to get a decent job later I would need it. I looked for the nearest school, which was Midtown High a couple of blocks away. I wasn't sure how I would get in, however, because I had no papers and no guardian. I ran a hand through my hair and decided to figure it out later. Since I was underage and broke, I couldn't rent shelter so I would have to live in the park for now. If I could get into the school, I could live off free school lunches for a little while. I had my ghost half which wasn't as needy as my human one to help me out in that department anyway. The ghost half that Sam had earned me…

I shook my head and cleared my thoughts again. I needed to stay focused on the task at hand. I looked for a job, and fortunately there was a news center called the Daily Bugle not far away that was looking for applicants.

Now the most painful matter on my mind. No one on Earth was going to get a proper burial, and I couldn't give them that. But I would do my best. As guilty as it made me feel, that task had to wait until a later time.

I realized I could fill out everything for Midtown High on their website and I silently kicked myself. Once that was done, I leaned back and realized I had killed three hours at the library researching how I would repair my life.

I left the library and went back to the park. The next morning I looked at my watch and realized that Midtown would be starting soon, and I quickly got up. Well, I couldn't really do much about my appearance so I ran a few fingers through my hair and looked around. No one was watching, so I transformed into my ghost half and flew invisibly to school. I ran in the classroom right as the bell rang.

"Uh, sorry," I said awkwardly, keeping my eyes downcast.

The teacher stood up when some brown haired guy burst in the door and looked genuinely surprised to see me standing there. I guess Midtown didn't get new students often.

"Peter, glad you could make it," said the teacher sarcastically. "Take your seat."

I admit, I felt a little bad for the guy getting embarrassed like that in front of a class. I knew how it felt.

"Class, this is our new student Daniel Fenton," said the teacher.

"Danny," I corrected, "Call me Danny."

"Alright. My name is Mrs. Smith (Time out. A/N: I couldn't remember if it ever named any of Peter's teachers, so I just did a random teacher. Just to clear that up if by chance it actually did name any of his teachers. Time in). You can take a seat behind Mr. Parker over there," said Mrs. Smith, pointing at the guy that had burst in after the bell.

Neither one of us said anything to each other and I sat in silence, paying more attention in class that day than any other school day in my life.

That is, I didn't talk to him until lunch.

(Spidey POV)

The guy from the park, Danny Fenton, looked really bad, like he had slept outside. I shrugged it off as we walked over to take a seat behind me. The day passed by and finally the bell rang for lunch. I went into the cafeteria and went through my usual routine and sat at my usual table.

"Hey, Webhead?" said Ava.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Invite the new kid over here."

"Why?"

"Well, the guy is new, has no friends, and Flash looks like he's about to wail on him."

"Fine," I grumbled, walking up to Flash.

"Hey Flash?" I asked.

"Yeah?"

"Don't wail on the new guy."

"Why not?"

"You know where I stand on this."

Flash looked annoyed but let Danny go anyway and went back to his table.

"Thanks," muttered Danny, keeping his eyes down.

"No problem. I've been trying to get Flash to stop his bullying," I replied. "Want to sit at my table?"

"No thanks,' he replied.

I shrugged and went back to my table.

"Why didn't you invite him over here?" asked Ava raising an eyebrow.

"I did. He refused," I said.

Ava got up and dragged the Fenton kid to our table. She could be quite persuasive when she wanted to be.

"So, Danny was it? Where did you move here from?" asked Ava, sitting down.

"Amity Park," he mumbled.

"Never heard of it. Is it small?"

"Yeah."

"Let me introduce you to everyone else here. I'm Ava, this is Peter, that over there is Danny, that's Luke, and that guy is Sam."

I saw his eyes widen for a second under his bangs at the mention of Sam, but it was gone the next second. Instead, he looked up and I saw his eyes for the first time. They were an icy blue.

"Danny?" he asked. "Won't that get a little confusing?"

"Yeah, I guess it will. Do you mind if we call you Daniel to differentiate?" asked Ava.

"No, being called by my real name bugs me," he answered.

"If Danny wishes to be called that, I do not mind being called by my last name instead," said the Danny I knew.

"Which would be…?" said Fenton.

"Rand," replied Danny, or Rand now.

The rest of the day went by uneventfully. Finally school let out and as I walked out and down the street, Fury contacted me.

"Spider Man! Venom is on the loose!"

Yeah, the action starts next chapter. I still needed to set up a bunch and I will probably be updating again tomorrow at this rate. So, action starts next chapter and I still love reviews. That still stands. One would be much appreciated if you are reading this and you haven't reviewed.
