I own nothing what-so-ever.
Danny was shocked. He should have expected this though. It was the saem thing Dash had done after he had been beat up by the halfa. What was it with his bullies kissing him after he defeated them?
The kiss didn't last long when Josh pulled away. "Sorry Danny. I needed to see something." He said.
"It's fine Josh. Did you conferm waht is was you were trying to?" Danny asked, totally unphased by the kiss.
"I think so." Josh said. "I just don't know what to do now. How do I go about this?" Josh sighed, and bowed his head.
"It's alright Josh. I won't tell anyone. You should do what you think is the right thing. Believe it or not, you're not the first person to kiss me to comferm that they were gay. Some guy at my old school did the same thing." Danny said.
"Thanks Danny. I really needed someone I could talk to. I'm not usually good with expressing my feeling, but I just felt I could trust you." Josh said.
"I know how you feel. I'm glad you could talk to me about it. I'm glad you could talk about it period." Danny said.
"Well then, I guess I better be going. My mother is probably wondering where I am." Josh grabed his bag, and left the house, stopping briefly to talk to Maggie Mae, who had stopped him.
Danny rolled his eyes, and went to get his bag. He called Tony to tell him he was home, and that when he got back, if it wasn't too late, to visit their neighbor. Tony said okay.
Danny sat down at the kitchen table to do his homework. He had just finished it when he heard something in the attic. He went up to find none other than Skulker floating above the shield, glaring at it. "I was wondering when you were going to show up. I thought you were a better hunter than that." Danny mocked, catching the hunter's attention.
"Shut it whelp." Skulker said. "I mean, Your Majesty." Skluker mocked.
"Very funny Skulker. You know good and well I hate it when you call me that." Danny said, glaring at the hunting ghost.
"Why? You are the Ghost King after all." Skulker said.
"Ghost King?" Both Skulker, and Danny looked at the doorway. Tony was standing there, looking between the two.
Danny swore under his breathe. "You hae nto told your human family what you really are?" Skulker asked, smirking widely.
"What is he talking about Danny? Who is this guy anyway?" Tony asked.
"Uncle Tony, this is Skulker, the Ghost Zone's 'greatest' hunter." Danny said. "Skulker, this is my uncle, Tony."
"Hello human." Skulker said.
"Hi." Tony said.
"Did you see what Mrs. James wanted?" Danny asked Tony, ignoring Skulker now.
"Yeah. There's a pie on the counter. I don't understand why she couldn't just give it to you when you got home. She also said you had a friend over." Tony said.
"Yeah. Josh wanted to talk to me about something. I also found out that the sadistic stuff is starting to go away." Danny said.
"That's great. I'm glad. Have you eaten yet?" Tony asked.
"No. Want to order pizza?" Danny asked.
"Yeah sure. I'll order it now. Do something with him." Tony pointed to Skulker, who was angry with being ignored.
"Sure thing." Danny was all too happy Tony had forgotten what Skulker had called him. He really didn't want to explain it to him right now. "Why are you here Skulker? Did you miss me beating the crap out of you?" Danny asked when Tony was gone.
Skulker glared at Danny. "I wanted to warn you. I'm not sure when, but there is going to be a ghost attack here in Washinton DC. Like I said, I don't know when, or where it will happen, but it will." Skulker said. "I thought you would like to know."
"Why are you tell me this?" Danny asked.
"I thought you would want to know that your new family and friends could be in danger. I don't want you to be alone, as strange as that sounds. Every ghost in the Ghost Zone don't like what Reaper did, ans are greatful to you for stopping him. It's one thing for ghosts to attack humans, but to attack other ghosts and use them to feed yourself, we don't like that. And killing a human is not looked upon with approving eyes. Thank you, You're Highness." Skulker vanished, and Danny rolled his eyes, but thought about what the ghost had said.
Danny went downstairs, and wondered if he should tell Tony about what Skulker has said. "What did the ghost want Danny?" Tony asked.
"To tell me something about some ghosts. No big deal. Nothing to worry about." Danny waved his hand dismissively.
Tony was about to say something else, but the door bell rang, and Danny ran off to answer it. Tony want ed to ask about what Skulker had said, but by the way Danny was acting, it was probably an insult of some sort, so he changed his mind. But why wouls the ghost call Danny the Ghost King? If Danny really were the king of all ghosts, wouldn't he have told Tony, right?
Danny came into the room, carrying two pizza boxes. He noticed the way Tony was deep in thought, and kind fo feared what was going to be said. Was Tony really ask about what Skulker had said? Danny hope to God he woudn't. "Pizza's here." He said, putting the boxes on the counter of the large kitchen.
"Cool. Let's eat." Tony took out two plates, and gave one to Danny. He put some pizza on both, and they sat down to eat. After dinner, they both sat down to watch some TV before bed.
The next day Danny did go jogging with Tony. He had been awake when Tony got up to run, so Danny just went with him. They talked abot school, and Tony's case. Corporal Jenkins had yet to talk to them again, and they were unsure if he was even still there. Danny told him that he was there the last time he was, but couldn't say if he was there now, or not, but he probably was, wanted to see the case until the end. Tony said that they couldn't find Jenkins' lover at all. The neighbors said he left the day before Jenkins died, and hadn't been back. They also said that a guy that looked like him had come by the house, but left not long after.
This got Danny thinking, which made him miss most of what was going on in his classes. That was okay, becuase they were talking about things he had learned at his old school the year before. At lunch, Danny was sitting at a table, only because it had started raining sometime before, still thinking about the case. He might have to go and see if he could find Thamas' ghost, if he was dead too.
"Hey Danny, whatcha thinking about. You've been out of it all day. Everytime I see you in th hallway, you're zoned out. And you were also zoned out in class too." Carly said, coming up to sit beside Danny with her lunch.
"Oh, sorry Carly. I'm just thinking about something that happened with my uncle." Danny said.
"What happened with your uncle? Is he okay?" Carly asked.
"Oh yeah, he's fine. He's just got this case that keep coming up, and, and I was helping him with it." Danny said.
"Oh. What the case about?" Carly asked.
"I can't talk about it. The only reason he can talk to me about it, is because I'm a consultant for NCIS. They ask me for help sometimes." Danny said.
"Oh. That sound cool. Do you like it?" Carly asked.
"I guess. It's not that much different than what I did in Amity Park. I've helped a lot of people." Danny shrugged. At least spending some time with his friend was keeping his mind off the case.
"I'm so happy that tomorrow is the last day of the week. What are you doing this weekend?" Carly asked.
"I'm going to help my uncle with his case. I'm going to help them find someone." Danny said. "But what did you have in mind?" He asked when he saw the sad look in Carly's eyes.
"Me and Alex were going to the movies with some other friends, and we thought you would like to go." Carly said.
"What day?" Danny asked.
"Saturday."
"Okay. I'll go." Danny said.
"Sweet." Carly pumped her fist in the air.
"What movie are we seeing?" Danny asked. He had bought his lunch today, and was eating the salad, which wasn't very good. Sam would have liked that it was salad, but not because it wasn't a good salad.
"The Avengers." Carly said.
"Cool." Danny, finishing his salad.
The rest of the day went by slowly becuase once Carly left, Danny started thinking about the marine and his lover again. When the bell rang, Danny started to leave, but was stopped by Josh. "What's up?" He asked the hulk of a teen.
"I wanted to thank you again. I thought about what you said, so I went for it. This is Frankie, he's a member if the auto club." Josh pointed to a scrawney tenn with long black hair, standing behind him. "He's my new boyfriend." Josh said.
"That's great Josh. I'm glad you're happy now. I wish you both well." Danny left, and went home. He did him home work, and ate pie.
Tony got home late, and went to bed. Danny had asked him about Saturay, and Tony had said he could go. Danny went to bed really late.
