While I don't appreciate the way you gave criticism and said that I murdered the idea, you did have a few points.
1. I thought it was pretty clear that Dash has no idea of Phantom being half-ghost; he was teasing Wes since Wes thinks Fenton and Phantom are the same person- and since Wes looks like Phantom. Wes doesn't know that Danny is a halfa, as in the prologue it even said that he wasn't sure how. He just thinks that maybe Phantom can just look human or something- it was all in the prologue.
2. That will be explained later- this is a series of short glimpses into the life, which over time explain the different things. It takes patience to get to that point. The whole point of the prologue is to just grab your attention- you might not understand everything at first, but over time you learn more.
3. That line was made as a joke, if you can't understand jokes don't read a story that has humor under the category.
4. For the last time, them calling Wes, Phantom is a joke. It is them teasing him. They do not think he is really Phantom and that was explained in the prologue. "Everyone picked on him for looking like Phantom". It even said that they occasionally thought he was Phantom because it would be bound to happen with the crazy die-hard Phantom fans at the school.
5. So many things to say to this part. I do not appreciate the fact that you say I murdered the idea. Also, as I said, things will be revealed over time. If you don't like the story and think I murdered the idea, don't read it- simple. I'm just telling you now that this story will take patience as a reader since each chapter is only a short glimpse- mostly humorous one-shots.
6. Also, congrats for making me in a terrible mood while writing a humorous story- only also under the mystery category. If I offended you by any of this, my apologies but I stand by my words- after all, I can't please everyone, but I am not trying to be rude. I do hope you continue to read the story, if anything for the ending.

(P.S. Most of these will be between 500- 1000 words. Thanks to privatefirstclasslaverniustucker. It was her post that mentioned the idea of Wes showing pictures and everyone just staring at them (And Wes) saying, "Where did you get those pictures of Fenton and why do you have them on hand?" )
I'm Telling You- They're the Same Person!
Wes looked at Danny Fenton through the bushes. He needed a good picture. Fenton didn't show up for picture day and he needed a recent picture to show comparisons between Phantom and Fenton. The pictures were key then maybe he could show people just how alike Fenton and Phantom are. Maybe with the pictures, he could even explain to them that Fenton was obviously a ghost… or something.
He clicked the camera and got a few good pictures before he quickly left, not wanting to be spotted. He quickly headed home, not bothering to say hello to his father, before he locked himself in his room.
One entire wall of his room was dedicated to the 'Phantom-Fenton Mystery.' There was even a title at the top of the wall on a large piece of paper, written in his handwriting, saying 'Fenton = Phantom?' Underneath that, it was covered in pictures of Phantom and Fenton. Pieces of papers that had his ideas on it were there as well. News articles were tacked up along with the occasional page he printed from the Internet about ghosts or Phantom (taken from fan sites- and those were whole different horror story themselves). Thin red pieces of strings connected different events, along with notebook paper that had his notes were written on.
It was almost obsessive.
It's worth it if I can prove they're the same person… err ghost…
Wes had an idea- a wonderful idea. He has tried to trail Fenton, but it never worked out. Fenton's friends always managed to ruin the plan, distract him. Sometimes he couldn't get out of class in time- it didn't help that he only had one class with Fenton. When he trailed Phantom, he always lost that ghost kid. It was hard to keep up with Phantom- and even Fenton for that matter.
So why not try to just get a picture of Fenton when he was shirtless? Fenton was sure to have scars from the ghost fighting or something, right? With that in mind, he hid in the locker room just before gym class started. He waited until everyone left before he opened his eyes- he wanted a picture of the scars, but he didn't want to get scarred himself. He got the camera ready just as Fenton sneaked into the locker room. Fenton was always last, after all. Then he snapped the picture.
Wes felt his eye twitch again as he walked down the hall. Beside him were a group of his so-called friends.
"I'm telling you," Wes repeated, "Fenton is totally Phantom! Just look at the resemblance!"
Students that were passing by stopped for a moment and watched Wes. They were used to his antics, but they could be amusing. Wes pulled out the pictures from his wallet. One picture showed Fenton smiling. One showed him sleeping. One showed him looking angry at that gothic Manson chick. One showed Fenton as he was walking home from school. One showed Fenton shirtless. The last picture showed an image of Phantom, smiling. It took him forever to get that particular picture. He had to trail Phantom forever to get it. .
He smiled proudly as they all looked at the pictures. He frowned to himself, however, when he realize that the shirtless Fenton picture didn't show all the scars that Wes himself had seen. Bummer. I don't want to look like a stalker.
A few of them whispered to themselves. A few raised their eyebrow. This is it, Wes thought excitedly, they're finally getting it!
"Uhh," someone voiced from the back, "Where did you get those pictures of Fenton and why do you have them on hand?"
Wes deflated and, for once, was thankful when the bell for class rang. The students quickly disappeared into their classrooms at the last minute, leaving a sulking Wes behind.
