Wake-up Call
A collection of one-shots based on arbitrary inspirations.#2- Wake-up Call: Danny wakes up at 10:30 a.m. and rushes to school… Attempt at humor.
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom or any of its characters or storyline.
Light grew in intensity behind his eyelids… Warmth spread over his skin – the sun was shining down on him through his window…
Wait… sunlight?
Danny shot up from his bed. Frantically, he glanced at his clock. 10:30. Great. He was late.
He must have turned off his alarm by accident. Or, maybe he did not turn on the alarm at all. He only had gotten to bed at 6:30 a.m; the Box Ghost somehow kept evading him. It was funny, but a little pathetic, that it took so long just to catch one ghost. No… it was just pathetic. He really needed more sleep…
Danny leapt to his dresser and pulled out his trademark t-shirt and jeans. In the process of taking off his pajama top, he ran into the bathroom. He continued to change his clothes while brushing his teeth. On second thought, maybe doing two tasks at a time was actually slower… but he couldn't think now. He was in a hurry. He really couldn't miss any more school…
Grabbing his backpack, he headed out the door. Skipping breakfast once in a while shouldn't be too detrimental to his health. He hid behind a tree, turned into his ghostly half, and launched himself into the sky.
Flying gave Danny a little time to think. Why didn't Jazz wake him up? She always woke up early. When he had been rushing around the house, he also noticed open doors – signs that his parents also left. If they were up and getting ready to leave, why didn't they wake him up?
As he neared the school, he pulled out his phone and called Sam. He hoped she wouldn't mind. He held the phone to his ear. Maybe he shouldn't call her in the middle of class… Whoops. The phone was already ringing. Someone on the other end picked up.
"Hey Sam. What bell are you in right now?"
"Danny, wha–"
"Quiet, I'm in a rush. Just tell me quickly." Danny cut off Sam's attempt at addressing him. He neared the school, but he couldn't see anyone through the windows…
"Danny –," Sam started, sounding a little exasperated.
"Nevermind, I just got to school now. You don't have to tell me." Danny phased into the building. Why was the school so quiet?
"Danny, it's S –," Sam tried again.
"Hey, where is everybody?"
"It's Saturday, Danny."
…
"… I blame the Box Ghost… I'm going back to sleep now."
Several blocks over, Sam tucked her phone into her pocket. She smiled and shook her head. Sometimes, Danny was just a little too oblivious.
A/N: This is my failed attempt at humor. All of the one-shots that I have planned are kind of dark and intense, so I wanted to try something lighter. This is also very short… ^^;
This is also the only idea of which I had already written some parts, and the only idea that I could rush – I really wanted to put something up for the 8th Dannyversary, but I was busy. (I hope this comes up on before 12 a.m.…) I apologize for being so late and for being behind in reviewing. There are probably a lot of errors in this as well – I wrote this really quickly. Also, for clarification, I might continue some of these ideas, depending on time and/or reviews.
I hope I can catch up soon… Thanks for the feedback so far!
Happy Dannyversary!
