A/N: I have decided to write a bonus chapter or two thanks to the lovely Macomister! So if you like these, go thank her, and check out her stories! She writes post Phantom Planet stories and some Warriors fanfiction. I don't own anything. Enjoy!
Anyone Can Be A Hero
Bonus Chapter-Dash's POV
The crazy fiasco is over.
I'm officially a part of Team Phantom.
So, it's only natural that I sit with them at lunch, right?
The problem with this is, my friends don't know what's happened to me this weekend.
So, this could be quite interesting.
Brown paper lunch sack in hand, I walk over to Danny's table.
Just as I sit down, I hear the jeering of my best friend, Kwan.
In fact, all my friends are staring at me with wide eyes.
"Hey Dash! Why are you sitting with the Geek Gang?"
"They're not geeks," I say, glancing at my new friends, "they're really cool."
In the time span of about five minutes, I get dumped by my girlfriend and punched by my friend.
Well, that went better than expected.
"I cannot believe he is sitting with that weird kid, Danny!" I hear Paulina exclaim.
I swear I see Star giving me a smile that's sympathetic, and almost…jealous?
Danny laughs.
"She thinks I'm weird."
"She doesn't have a clue just how weird I am."
We all smile, and as I glance around the table, I realize something.
Those other guys weren't my friends.
These guys are.
They make me feel wanted and important.
They are nice to me, and their teasing is good-natured.
This is where I belong.
I can't believe it took a ghost attack for me to realize that.
This where I want to be.
Because this is the only place where I can be, well, me.
I'm glad for that.
A/N: Haha, did you see how I kind of made it connect with The Science of Popularity? I just couldn't resist. Anyways, I think I'm going to leave it at this, unless you guys want me to do one more bonus chapter where Dash confronts his friends and tells them off.
