I'm off hiatus now!
Got my derrière in gear and am now halfway through the final chapter.
But here it is! The penultimate!
61) Hello.
When Danny looked at the idea of his own death, he sometimes wondered if it wouldn't be a goodbye or a hello – but just a wait.
62) Beach.
For the longest Jazz could remember, all the family holidays had always been booked at the last minute, after yet, another failed attempt to holiday in the Ghost Zone.
63) Film.
The most embarrassing moment of Danny's life, was the day he discovered fan videos.
64) Journey.
After being able to go at 110 mph, trains and cars (excepting his Dads driving) always seemed to go so slowly.
65) Loneliness.
Sometimes, Lancer wondered if even the books were enough for him.
66) Fizz.
Jack isn't allowed any variation of Coke/Pepsi/Soda etc. anymore, the incident is always glossed over and shouts of "almost perfect" are covered by murmurs of "explosions", "experiment gone wrong" and "ruined the upholstery" from the rest of the family.
67) Essay.
Jazz's dissertation for the end of University was about how Freud's theory on dreams would become invalid now due to more and more people making their dreams a reality. The teacher tried to make her change to "Danny Phantom's state of mind when he was formed into existence" - four times.
68) Prejudice.
He's not stupid, Danny knows that there are people who hate him just because of the other half of his genes; and he will deal with the discrimination just like everybody else. It breaks his heart though, that no matter how she tries to hide it, his mother is one of those people.
69) Chef.
Tucker is an okay cook, though his tastes are limited to meat dishes only. Danny is surprisingly good at cooking sweet dishes and a decent all-rounder at savouries. However, Sam burns her food on a regular basis.
70) Animal
"Come now Lil' Badger. You honestly think that you'd be able to defeat me with such a weak throw"
"Shut up fruit loop! And stop calling me that."
"Oooh. Good one Badger. That almost clipped my elbow"
"Aaaaaaargh! It's Danny! Danny-Danny-Danny-Danny!"
"…Baaaaaaaadgeeeer"
71) Grip
During all the times she flew with him, she never once thought about the consequences about what could happen if he let go.
72) Golf
"So why are we letting Dad invite Mr Masters along?"
"Because Danny sweetie, golfing isn't interesting unless there are targets you want to hit – FORE!"
73) Platinum
"Wow Danny, I know you hate it and all, but you've really got to get on the back of this biography deal. It's now into its tenth week and still the number one most-bought book even after all those other so-so copy-cats. …Danny?"
"…there are…copies?"
74) Alcohol
"So basically whilst you're in Ghost Form, any drink in your system"
"Just disappears yeah. And if I still drink whilst as Phantom – zilcho happens. I just stay sober".
"…Duuuuuude Sam, you know what this means"
"That it's further proof how different a ghost's biology is to humans?" "Hey!"
"Uh, no. It means we'll always have a designated driver!"
75) Trial
It probably wasn't the best idea to try out their latest idea. Yes, Danny was able to skip straight from drunkenness, past the hangover stage and into sobriety; but he spent the rest of the night trying to control three inebriated 17 year olds.
76) Story
Sometimes, Ghost Writer would wonder. Is it enough to write about others lives, or should he go out and live his own.
77) Pet
"But you gave Jazz a hamster!"
"Yes, a hamster. NOT a giant, slobbering ghost dog!"
78) Connection
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!"
"…that would be your father again."
"are you going to help him Mom?"
"No dear. He needs to learn that he can't mess around with public phone lines"
79) Privileges
Being a hybrid torn between two worlds and hunted; Jazz had decided long ago, was Danny's "Get-Out-Of-Jail-Free" card for almost anything he did. Anything, except for dying at the hands of what he'd thought just another deranged ghost and leaving her without a baby brother.
80) Control
Clockwork could see all that ever could be and yet all the paths, willingly or unwillingly seemed to point to him dropping a "Paranormal – Truth or Not?" flyer in front of a 6yr old Jack Fenton.
