Yuki: Hi again!
Anika: We've decided to just do the parts of the episodes that are different from the series and the parts that have significant relevance to my plot.
Yuki: I'm lazy!
Disclaimer: Butch Hartman would projectile vomit out of every orifice if he would read this misshapen horror of a story.
I was also on a Danny Phantom fansite that is pretty accurate on all things DP (including Vlad and Danny's strange relationship). Turns out the series goes from April 2005 (Mystery Meat) to the summer of 2007 (Phantom Planet). Seems like a pretty accurate timeline. One I will not use.

Warning: Rape?, discrimination of homosexuals
Note: Phantom and Dark are the same person. Khep-ra is someone completely different
Chapter 6: Friendly Reunion Part II - Karma (In Danny's Eyes)
Perfect by nature
Icons of self indulgence
Danny, Tucker, and Sam were at the mall on a Saturday. Danny had run over to the church earlier to see the stained glass window he designed. It turned out quite nicely.
They were walking into the Food Court when Tucker groaned.
"Ew, gross." The other two teens turned to see two men sharing some spaghetti while gazing lovingly into each other's eyes and holding hands. Danny recognized one man as his friend Tori.
Danny stayed silent and joined his friends at a table far away from the two men.
Just what we all need
More lies about a world that
"That's so unnatural." Sam stood up and and Tucker followed, both going to order food.
Danny stayed silent.
Flashback
"Aah!" Danny cried out as the other touched him, the boy rubbing circles on his glamoured scars (1). The scars were sensitive and only Jimmy could see them. "Mmy..."
"Nny..." Those simple nicknames that they got from JtHM, names that described them perfectly.
Jimmy dragged his mouth up from Danny's neck to kiss the boy's lips, moaning as Danny shoved his tongue into his mouth.
A little later, both boys' chests were heaving. They hadn't had intercourse, due to Danny's request, but they had helped each other over the edge.
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me
Jimmy climbed out through Danny's window, kissing the other's fingers as they did when they said good bye. Mmy dropped to the ground and waved coyly at the other before running back home.
Danny turned away as the boy disappeared and stared in terror as the person in his doorway walked over, denial and fury in their eyes.
End Flashback
"-- do you think, Danny?"
"Huh?" Danny looked up. His friends gazed at him strangely.
"We're talking about the whole gay-lesbian issue," Sam said. "It says in a lot of religious books that it's not right."
"But two chicks making out does look hot." Tucker got cut off by the french fries that Sam threw at his head.
You know you've got everybody fooled
Later that same Saturday, at Fentonworks, Danny came upstairs from the lab. He wanted to get a snack... Maybe some spices for a seance tonight.
"Hey, Jazz."
There he saw Jazz tutoring... Dash Baxter?
"Dash?" Danny set his drink down on the table. "What are you doing here?"
Phantom had not forgotten about an incident that had happened a few years ago.
Another Flashback
It was 8th grade, after a showing of The Hunchback of Notre Dame at Casper Secondary Middle School. (2) Danny had been cast as Esmerelda, meaning his parents wouldn't come, even if their lives depended on it.
"No."
"Danny, come on. We both know you want me."
"Wanting and morals go in two different boats. I broke up with Jimmy for that reason. Just leave me alone!"
"I don't think so."
Danny closed his eyes, his back rubbing harshly against the brick wall. Dash Baxter had slammed him into a wall and crushed his lips with the smaller boy's.
Danny cried out when the other boy bit his lip, letting the football star invade his mouth with his tongue. The ebony-haired boy wanted to vomit.
The other boy's tongue felt the same as that man's.
He pushed Dash away when they reached their limit on air. Danny resisted the arms that wrapped around him, ignored the sweet nothings of a boy who didn't know the severity of what he had done.
Phantom floated there, unable to do anything, but fuming with rage.
End Flashback
Phantom made Danny's arm intangible, making it faze through the table and scatter papers onto the athlete.
"Watch it, Fenton-owski!"
"Sorry," Danny said, backing away. "Just... passing through." That pun made Phantom laugh, although no one but Danny was able to hear him. Danny hurried out of the kitchen.
No seance tonight.
After beating Technus, Danny returned his body back to its human form. Phantom appeared next to him.
"Danny, I-" A slap resounded in the bedroom.
"You just have to ruin things, don't you?" The blue-eyed teen had tears in his eyes, the tears just threatening to come out. "I'm going to get in trouble for the lab. Dash just thinks I'm a loser, not that that matters-"
"It should, shouldn't it, Master?" Phantom tried to appease Danny, who saw through the facade.
"Shut up! You just want to keep me for yourself! If there's any threat to you having me, you try to eliminate it! Just like you did with Jimmy!" Danny was full on crying. His cheeks seemed pinker and puffier, his body shaking.
Look here she comes now
Bow down and stare in wonder
"Jimmy? Why should he matter?" Danny felt his chin being lifted up by the cold hand that belonged to his Phantom.
"Because... he was my boyfriend."
"Was, Master, not is." The ghost pulled his master closer to him, thoughts that could get him punished coursing through his mind. His hands began to wander.
"No."
"'No' isn't a correct answer."
Even after Danny felt his pants being phased off, he wasn't scared. He kept his ground.
"Stop."
Even after his boxers disappeared, he didn't scream. The silencing spell that he had placed around the room last week was still in effect.
"Stop."
Phantom laid kisses all over his 'master', who seemed more like a slave now than before. Danny pushed against the other, trying to keep the other from touching hi-
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Preparing you, Master." The ghost said it mockingly, demeaning the other. He frowned slightly when Danny hissed at his entrance being prodded, tears finally flowing down those alabaster cheeks. Dark licked at the tears, paying no mind to Danny's distress as he added another finger.
This ghost wasn't Phantom, but someone that Danny had been told had been erased the Human World, not being allowed to enter.
Khep-ra.
Danny felt the pain course up his spine, becoming pleasure. The evidence was prominent between his legs, making the tears flow faster.
"Don't worry, Danny. Let me take care of you." Khep-ra (3) positioned himself and thrust, but not once did Danny scream.
Oh how we love you
Now flaws when you're pretending
But now I know she
Third Flashback
"Come into the bathtub, Danny." Danny, age 6, climbed into the bathtub with his babysitter, the man just as naked as he was.
"Help give your uncle a bath, Danny." The child did as he was told, dragged the sponge over the man's skin, avoiding the spot between his legs.
The man smiled at Danny's naivete. He scrubbed the child, but 'accidentally' lost hold of the sponge when he began to clean the boy below the waist.
"Un-un-cle C-chris?" Danny squirmed, knowing instinctively that the way his uncle was touching him wasn't right. "Do-don't t-touch me the-re."
"It's okay, Danny. You know about touches right?"
"Y-yeah."
"I love you, Danny, so much. When someone loves you, it's okay if they touch you like that." Chris saw the skepticism of the child in his lap cross like a cloud over his face. It quickly left.
"Okay."
Chris rinsed the boy and himself and got out of the bathtub, ready to tuck the boy into bed.
"I love you, Danny."
"Daisuki, Chris-oji-san." (4)
"Don't worry. Let Uncle Chris take care of you."
End Flashback
Danny laid in bed, not knowing how to handle what just occurred. He felt pain at his lower back, as well as sticky from his and Phantom's... fornication.
Phantom was curled around him, napping, not knowing what he had just done, or rather, what Khep-ra had done while using his body. Danny stroked his white hair and wished that he could make himself forget what just happened.
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
If only it were that simple.
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Danny had been invited to Dash's party and proceeded to ignore Sam and Tucker as punishment for being mean to Paulina and Tori.
"It's a bad idea," Tori said to Danny, drying the dishes at the Cat Scratch Club. The raven-haired boy drank his milkshake in silence.
"I think they deserve it."
"Well, if they insult me for my gender preferences, I'll deal with it." Tori placed the last dish in a cupboard, feeling tired as business was slow that Sunday. He jumped over the counter to sit on a stool next to the teen.
Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your life
Danny and Tori sat in silence for a bit longer.
"I'm sorry, Danny."
"For what?"
"For the accident."
"...?"
"With River." (5)
"I'm leaving." Danny stood, leaving his glass on the counter.
"River wouldn't want you to be like this, Danny." Tori called after the other boy. "He loved you too much."
Danny stopped walking when he reached the door frame of the exit. "He loved me enough."
With that, he left.
I know the truth now
I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore
Danny raced home, slamming the door behind him. Sam and Tucker were getting amazingly pissed off.
He heard noise in the kitchen, hearing something about mutant hot dogs. At least it was better than a mutant Christmas turkey.
"Hey, Dad." Danny walked up to his father, the orange-jumpsuited man looking down at his son. "Can you spare me some cash? I need to buy some clothes for Saturday."
"Danny, Danny, Danny..." Jack smiled down at his son, feeling that the boy had grown up too fast for his liking, but accepting it all the same. "You know as Fentons, your mother and I have plenty of money."
"But as parents," Maddie continued, her red goggled eyes creeping Danny out slightly. "We understand that you should understand the value of money. You want money, you gotta earn it."
Saturday rolled around and Danny had been selling stuff from his father's shed like crazy. He was now at the mall when he saw Kwan.
"Yo, Fenton!"
"Hey, Kwan." Danny smiled at the other. No school peers around, no friends, just the two of them.
"So, Danny..."
"Yeah?"
"What are you wearing to the party?"
"I thought we had to wear those stupid sweats."
"No, just wear whatever. That one shirt - black with skulls - looked good on you in 7th grade. I heard Dash say that he wants you and your friends to perform at his party."
"Okay. Thanks for letting me know. See you, Kwan."
"See you."
It never was and never will be
Danny stood on Dash's doorstep, rocking back and forth from his heels to the balls of his feet and back again.
Dash opened the door to see the person that had activated his sex drive in middle school. Danny wore a black short-sleeved shirt with silver skulls on it, the words on the shirt saying 'Let the Bodies Hit the Floor'. The black pants that he was in had knife designs on them. His black boots had old-style buckles on them.
Danny looked hot, the little red star on his cheek making the whole look almost... hellion.
"Come in, Fen-tina."
"Didn't you already use that insult today, Dash?" Danny waltzed in.
"Do you think I care?"
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled
Danny felt the pain on singing without stopping, but his arms had gone numb from playing the guitar. He and his fellow Spooks (6) had been playing for two hours.
They finally stopped, Paulina's arms sore from the drums and Valerie was just tired from playing on her keyboard.
Danny got a bottle of water from Dash's fridge and headed upstairs. Despite what Sam and Tucker had said, he missed them.
However, he was distracted from his musings as he saw his own breath.
'Master?'
'I know, Phantom. Come on out.'
It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Danny lay on his psychiatrist's couch, watching Kizuka look at the toys he had brought.
"Who is this one, Danny?"
"Satan, demon of Wrath."
"And this one?"
"Lucifer, demon of Pride."
"Danny, is something wrong?"
"I ignored Sam and Tucker just because I was mad at them."
"Danny, you know you seem very passive-aggressive right now, right?" (7)
"Do you need medicine for that?"
"Here," Kizuka offered as she held out a notebook. "Whenever you feel angry, sad, jealous, write it in here."
"Like Johnny the Homicidal Maniac's die-ary."
"Just like his die-ary."
Somehow now you're everybody's fool
Song: Everybody's Fool by Evanescence
1) A glamour is like an invisibility charm, like the kind that faeries use as not to be seen. Danny has a glamour over his torso, but Jimmy can see through it, as he is a supernatural creature, as is Danny (technically).
2) I was originally going to have Danny move away from Amity Park from 6th to 7th grade, but I thought that would just be a hassle, so I made two middle schools.
3) Khep-ra has a HUMONGOUS part later in the story. I will reveal that he was once a Pharaoh in Egypt and was Dahlia's husband.
4) Daisuki, Chris-oji-san. - I like(really close to love) you, Uncle Chris.
Chris - know him, hate him, kill him with magical mind powers.
5) River Marx - Died at age 16. Car crash. October 13th, 1989- July 19th, 2005. River dated Danny. That's all you need to know right now.
6) The band name is 'Suffering Spooks', just because no one said anything. :P
7) (Courtesy of Medline Plus) Danny doesn't have this disorder, but rather, he just has some personality traits similar to it.
Passive-aggressive personality disorder is a long-term (chronic) condition in which a person seems to actively comply with the desires and needs of others, but actually passively resists them. In the process, the person becomes increasingly hostile and angry.
Psychiatrists no longer recognize this condition as an official diagnosis. However, the symptoms are problematic to many people and may be helped by professional attention.
Some common symptoms of passive-aggressive personality disorder include:
Acting sullen
Avoiding responsibility by claiming forgetfulness
Being inefficient on purpose
Blaming others
Complaining
Feeling resentment
Having a fear of authority
Having unexpressed anger or hostility
Procrastinating
Resisting other people's suggestions
