What is it with FanFiction making my font super small? Seriously. It's weird (it doesn't show up when you're reading it, I know, but I'm just ranting.)Anywho, this is the new chapter. I recently read a story where everybody was horribly out of character, and so I got fed up enough to write this: A Mary Sue parody. Except instead of a new character being introduced, I worked with the ones I was given.
...and I meant to finish this. I honestly did. Buuuuuuuuuut...I don't know, I got fed up with the sheer stupidity of it, even though it's my own writing. It's slightly amusing to me anyway, but, still...I don't like seeing Sam out of character, especially. She's my favourite character in the DP universe, and it's really hard to get her character right, and people usually butcher it. So I butchered it on purpose XDI'll have a couple notes at the end on some consistencies I've noticed in these types of Sue-fics. Enjoy!
Sam skipped along down the street, thinking of how important Danny was to her and how she couldn't possibly be in love with him even though she wanted to spend every waking moment (hey, why limit it to waking time? It was nice to fall asleep in his arms, not that she cherished the memory from that night that they had all fallen asleep watching movies together-it was perfectly normal for friends to curl up next to each other, too) with him. You know, because Goth's do that.
She neared the school, ever so excited to see her best friend again (and Tucker, too. Couldn't forget about him...though she often did. He never seemed to mind, though. It was like he just disappeared or something.). She skipped inside, prancing gracefully all the way to her locker, not even noticing the stares of some of the cuter guys that had their eye on her. At seventeen, Sam had grown (and, as was proved if you only glanced to her chest area) in more ways than one, and wore a lot less black lately, instead settling for dark reds that had actually caught the eye of the notorious Dash Baxter many a semester ago.
Grabbing her things out of her locker, she started on her way to her first class, advanced placement English Honours. All her classes were honours, advanced placement, or both. It was remarkably easy to keep up her grades while ghost hunting with Danny-all she did was follow him around with Tucker by her side every now and then (again, the techno geek tended to disappear into thin air sometimes, almost as if he were the ghost and not Danny), and getting home late into the night didn't effect her, or her grades, in the slightest.
But halfway to her destination, she saw something that made her stop cold.
Paulina Sanchez, the most beautiful girl in school (save for Sam, but she was far too modest to notice or care how absolutely gorgeous and flawless she had become) had a boy pinned to a row of lockers. Usually, Sam wouldn't care about this in the slightest, but the boy that the Queen Bee was liplocking with was the one and only Danny Fenton.
Violet eyes burned with tears, dainty hands started trembling, and beautiful legs felt both like lead and like running away as fast as she possibly could. Wave after wave of anguish hit her harder than any ghost ever could (not that they ever did hit her; they usually hit Danny, and she was always the one that patched him up, nevermind the fact that Jazz still lived at home and went to Med School...). Sam turned around, stomping away in her six inch heels (very nice for running; her combat boots just got in the way), refusing to cry, refusing to go and stand up for the boy she finally admitted to herself she was in love with. No, she didn't need an explanation from him-she didn't need him as a friend. If he was going to choose that slut over the best friend that he had never admitted anything more than platonic feelings for (and up until this moment she never admitted anything more than platonic feelings for him, either, but she had known-or thought she did-deep down inside, that they would be together forever!), then he was going to lose his once-best friend.
Oh, of course, he wouldn't be the only one to lose her. No, everybody here was going to pay for denying her the love and popularity she had never strived for.
"Ew, Paulina! What the hell was that for!" exclaimed Danny, pushing away the girl he had always been smitten with in horror.
"But Danny," purred the school princess who had never shown any interest in the 'geek' she had just kissed until this moment, "you're cute, I'm cute, and you're a good kisser." she said, winking, ignoring the fact that it had been her kissing Danny and he hadn't even responded.
Danny glared at her, having gathered his wits remarkably fast, considering he had just been pounced on by the hottest girl in school. "You only like me because I'm Danny Phantom!" he exclaimed, despite the fact that he was talking to one of the dumbest girls in school who he had never even hinted his secret to.
Paulina gasped, and the halls went silent, having heard what he said throughout the school.
"Danny" she said in shock, eyes wide, and a hand to her mouth, "y-you're the...the ghost boy?" she whispered, believing him immediately (it all made sense, after all. It was completely possible for somebody to be half ghost, especially somebody who fell over his own two feet all the time, and it certainly explained how he was always late, as Paulina always kept track of).
Danny's eyes widened in horror, realising that she actually didn't know his secret, and he had just told everybody. Without even trying to redeem himself and keep his secret intact, he immediately transformed in front of everybody and flew through the walls and out of the school.
Let's begin with the consistencies! Yay!
1. Sam is usually very obviously in love with Danny, but she never admits it. Yes, I know that she actually does do that, but she mentally gushes about him. I mean, come on! She's a goth! Besides, he's not all she thinks about. She has a life, you know.
2. THERE IS NO TUCKER. I mean, he shows up occasionally, but it's all Sam and Danny. YES, I know that if it's a romance story Danny will want to be with Sam more than Tucker, but he and Danny are best friends! I may not be a guy, but I do know guys at least talk about girls that they like...sometimes...I think...you get the point. If I were to continue this fic (because I was planning to before I got fed up with it) I would have Tucker be outside and notice Sam run out of the school (it's alright. Sam is on good enough terms with the teachers that they won't care if she skips the day) and text Danny about it (because another thing I've noticed is that if Tucker IS mentioned, he's just like, 'meh.')
3. Sam magically becomes gorgeous. So does Danny (and Tucker, when he's mentioned.)
4. Sam becomes incredibly smart. I wonder how she does that when all she thinks about is Danny...
5. Danny does ALL the ghost fighting. Sam and Tucker aren't just there to keep his secret, you know. They kick butt too. (obviously Danny would do the majority of it-he does have quite the advantage over them, being ghostified and all-but they do participate)
6. Paulina always kisses Danny, and Sam sees and gets uber jealous. This then leads to Sam giving up on absolutely everything (I was going to have Sam commit suicide, because that's another consistency around this, which is another reason why I stopped writing. It was all fluffy-like - however stupid the fluff was -that I couldn't bring myself to write Sam killing herself. Also, Sam wouldn't stoop to that. Goth doesn't mean suicidal), and making everyone 'pay' for something she had never asked for, and had pointedly said she didn't want. She's never like popularity-she won't kill herself over it.
7. As soon as Sam leaves, the reader discovers that Paulina kissed Danny, and Danny was over her years ago, having moved onto Sam. And suddenly Paulina is smitten with him for whatever reason.
8. Danny stupidly reveals his secret somehow. And everybody believes it without question (even when he doesn't actually transform. Then, he doesn't even try to cover up his secret. I mean, he'd look like an idiot for saying it in the first place, yes, but that's no reason to throw away {in this case} three years worth of hiding it.)
...and I was going to continue, where Danny gets to Sam just after she, well, dies, and then confesses his love for her, sobbing by her bedside. Then maybe I'd have her ghost come back so they'd live happily ever after...(it's a Sue thing. I wouldn't do that in reality.)
Enjoy! Please review.
Oh, also, there might not be any of these for a little while, because I seem to have misplaced my phone... :(
*EDIT* I found my phone. I dropped it in my mom's car. The next little one-shot on here will probably be about snow, because guess what it's doing here in Canada :D :D :D :D
