Seeing as how my last chapter was so short I will put up the next chapter for you.
I Do Not Own Danny Phantom or the Teen Titans
Chapter 20 ~ Story Time.
Danny's POV
We all landed in front of the Pizza Place and walked over to an empty table. I was still in my ghost form with my new outfit on as I sat down in between Raven and Cyborg. I kept my hood pulled up over my head to hide from the on lookers who apparently wanted to find out who this new character was hanging out with their town Super Heros. I was so nervous that my leg was bouncing slightly uncontrollably underneath the table.
I listened as the Titans talked and chattered among themselves and tried to decide what they wanted to order. Before BB and Cy could start their classic argument, which I learned very quickly that it was a normal for them, I quickly told the Waiter that we would have one veggi, one all meat, and one with just pepperoni on it. When the waiter vanished inside with our order I looked up at the Titans from under my hood.
"Alright," Beast Boy said leaning in closer with a goofy grin on his face that reminded me of my dad's grin. "Story time. I'll go first." I nodded and forced a weak smile onto my face. "Why were you so upset the first day here when Cyborg and I were arguing over pizza?" He asked curiously.
I hesitated and looked down at my lap the smile now gone from my face. "My two best friends...Tucker was the meat eater of the group and Sam was the veggan. They were always arguing over what was better, meat or Veggies." I said softly. I glanced up to see Beast Boy's ears had dropped slightly and he look guilty for bringing it up.
"Aw dang, Sorry. I now see why that argument might have put you off." He said softly rubbing the back of his head with a nervous smile.
I nodded slowly and smiled at him softly. "Don't worry about it."
"Alright now, my turn. I hope my question won't bring up any bad memories like grass-stain over there." Cyborg said with a smiles pointing at BB.
"Hey!" BB said with a huff and crossed his arms over his chest. "It was an accident." He mumbled softly causing me to smile softly. Titans aren't so bad once you get to know them... I thought trailing off as I snapped down on with a a snarl. No, I'm not here for friend ship.
"Now, for my question," Cybrog said snapping me out of my thoughts. "What's the most annoying villain, or in you place, ghost, have you ever fought?"
I couldn't help a grin play across my face. "Ahh, that's a tricky question. There are several to be honest, but the most annoying out of all of them is the Box Ghost." I said with a small grin. "You all meet him once. That one ghost in the overalls that you saw the first day we meet. The one that I sliced with my Scythe and you thought I killed him."
They all looked at me like I was crazy. "That guy? The one that seemed to have that strange obsession over boxes?"
I nodded. "Duh, hint the name Box Ghost. Heck I hardly even have to try to beat him anymore...I'll admit the it was harder once my family died, because I no longer had access to any Fenton Thermos's so I was a pain in the butt to get him back into the Ghost Zone, but once I got my scythe It was once again a piece of cake." I said with a nonchalant shrug and I smiled.
They all nodded and quieted down a little. I looked at Robin, Starfire and Raven to see who would ask me the next question. Starfire was the one who decided it was her turn.
"Not friend Danny, I wish not to bring forth the pain of memories but...I would like to hear a little more about your family...if that is okay with you?" She asked her voice softly and only carried a hint of her usual hyperness.
I stared at her for a second before smiling slightly. "Sure." I nodded slightly at her. "Well I'll start with my family. My Mother and Father were Amity Park's ghost hunters. My mother was the most lethal of them with a 9th degree black belt and wicked aim with her weapons. My mother was always kind and caring, if a bit blind to some things. My father on the other hand was always a goof. He was clumsy and if someone even mentioned the word 'ghost' it was like telling a little kid that Santa was standing on their front porch. But my father meant well and always put the needs of his family first." I sighed softly at the memory of my parents as I looked up at the sky above us and watched as the clouds floated by over head as I continued.
"My sister, Jazz, was the brains of the whole household. He was always using some form of psychology on me to try and help with my problems. When I first got my ghost half only my two best friends knew about it. But Jazz figured it out on accident. There was this new teacher at our school that was supposed to be helping the student body during 'Spirit Week' but instead of making everyone happy, everyone started to get depressed. Even me. I learned that she was a ghost who feed off of other people's misery. Jazz found out about me being half ghost sometime that week, but I didn't learn that she found out till months later. Jazz is the overbearing, over protective type of sister. Always trying to go out of her way to try and help, but not really being much help, if anything she made it worse."
I started chuckling and closed my eyes. "I remember when she tried to help me fight ghost one week. Ahh it's funny now that I look back on it. Jazz accidentally sucked me into the Fenton Thermos 3 times that night. I sucked myself into it once just because I knew it was going to happen anyways." I laughed softly and shook my head slowly.
"My two best friends were with me when I gained my ghost half. They were the best friends anyone could ever ask for. They always stood by my side even when I kept trying to push them away. Tucker was like a brother to me; we shared everything and did everything together. Only he was a bit of a womanizer and couldn't seem to catch a date with any of the girls in school. I on the other hand, had crushes but mainly tried to keep to myself. I remember I once tried to ask Paulina out, but I had such terrible control over my powers that I ended up turning my pants intangible causing them to fall to the ground." I chuckled and blushed slightly at the memory. "Boy was I embarrassed."
I opened my eyes again, my chuckled dying away, and looked sadly back up at the clouds. "Sam...Sam was the girl that I loved more than life itself. I would have giving myself up to Skulker and end up as a pelt at the foot of his bed as long as she was alive and safe from harm. Sam was smart, beautiful, independent, outgoing, clever, and so many other things. She was Goth and an Ultra-Recyclo Vegetarian. Sam had dark raven hair and lavender eyes that someone could get lost in. The thing is about her is never piss her off. She wore steel-toed combat boots and wasn't afraid to use them." I felt a small smile feather across my lips. "I would have given anything to have been able to save them. I think that I still would do anything to get them back." I said softly and looked at the Titans whom were all staring at me with mixed expression.
I quickly cleared my throat to try and snap them out of their state of mind. Cyborg spoke up. "Man, sounds like you had it good back in your old home. And once again, sorry about what happened to them."
I shrugged my shoulders slightly and smiled at them. "And like I said before...don't worry about it. Now, who's next?" I asked looking between Raven and Robin.
Raven spoke up. "What can you tell us about...the Ghost Zone." She asked staring at me with her calm eyes.
I smiled relieved to find a subject I'm more comfortable with. "The Ghost Zone is the flip side of the Human world. In the Ghost Zone looks mostly like swirls of green with purple floating doors everywhere. But each door leads to another ghost home or 'Lair' as we call them. Some ghosts even have their lairs on floated rocks. Over half the ghosts in the Ghost Zone hate me while the other half, are my greatest Allies. The Ghost Zone has a big history much like the Human world does. But I'm not interesting on going over history right now so I'm going to skip that." I said with a smile. "Is that good enough for you?" I asked Raven with a raised eyebrow.
Raven nodded slowly her expression thoughtful. Robins turn. I turned to him with a smile. "Next." I said teasingly.
Robin smiled and crossed his arms over his chest. "Alright, now for my question...Who was the hardest person you EVER had to face against?"
I tensed up at that and I felt my eyes harden. I quickly went over my choices to tell him. I decided to be somewhat honest. "Myself." I said simple, hoping for him to drop the subject.
Robin looked at me with a quizzical expression. "Not good enough. Come on, you gave most of them a story. All you're giving me is one word. Plus I wish to know how you ended up fighting yourself. Did someone clone and evil copy of you? What happened?" He pressed, making me clench my hands into fist so tight, that I started to cut into my palm.
"No...I do have a Clone but she is traveling the world right now. And I will NOT talk about HIM." I bit out, glaring at Robin my eyes ablaze with rage. "Now… I'm heading back to the Tower. I see you when you get there." I said as I quickly stood up and turned away and took off into the sky, launching off at my top speed, no doubt leaving a crater in my launch site.
Once I was in the air I headed straight to the clouds and floated there, not caring that I was getting wet. To be honest, the cold water from the cloud was helping to cool me off. At the memory of my alternate future self it quickly reminded me of what could have happened if I had gone to live with Vlad. He was the main reason I let everyone think that Fenton was dead in the first place.
No Fenton, no Vlad.
I snarled and quickly teleported myself back to my room in the tower in swirl of my cloak. I appeared in my room and stood there for a second before walking over to my bed as I changed back into my human form.
I sat down at the edge of my bed and closed my eyes. I took a deep breath and leaned back so that I lay across the bed. Dan is one thing I will not talk about. It only reminds me of what could have been. I closed my eyes and relaxed my body, wanted to take a quick nap to calm myself.
Hopeful I'll be in a better mood when I wake up.
~ There is Chapter 20! WHOO HOO!
Alright, there is something in this chapter, something that Danny said that should be somewhat of a spoiler for something that's going to happen in the story. If at least 2 people can 'quote' the correct thing, I'll bring Danielle into the story. ^^.
Dan muse: What! You're going to bring in that little Runt?
Me: I will if 2 people can find the right quote. And I happen to like Dani. *smiles*
Dan muse: Whatever. *grumbles*
Me: Sounds like someone is jealous. *Grins*
Dan muse: Am not! I just don't see why you should bring her in.
Me: Uh huh. Yeah sure, but anyways! Good luck and see you all next week! TA!
