Thanks for all the reviews. I really appreciate them. They help me keep going.
Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom…believe me you would know if I did.
Parents and a Fruiltoop
With that he turned and walked away. Still noticing the eyes of his peers on him, and wanting to get out as soon as possible, Danny rain the rest of the way out the front doors of the school…
…Straight into a sea of reporters.
"Mr. Fenton, are you going to take the throne?"
"Mr. Fenton, how long have you known about your heritage?"
"Mr. Fenton, will you be marrying a queen anytime soon?"
"Mr. Fenton…!" "Mr. Fenton…!""Mr. Fenton…!""Mr. Fenton…!"
Finally Danny couldn't take it anymore. He was just so frustrated with this whole situation that he ran straight through the reporters and into an ally. They followed but unknown to them Danny was already in Phantom form and on his way to Fenton Works.
Bursting through the door of his house, Danny saw his parents, sister, and his two advisors sitting on his couch. They all turned to look at him and immediately stopped their discussion.
"Danny", his mother started "we're so sorry that we never told you. We thought for sure that your aunt Alicia would take the throne after my father passed away. But it is your decision."
Unable to deal with all this pressure at the moment, combined with the fact that he was already confused beyond reason, Danny just nodded and headed for his room. Before he could get to his bedroom however, there was a knock at the front door. Thinking it was Sam and Tucker he ran to answer, only to be met with the face of a certain fruit loop.
"Hello little badger", Vlad sneered.
"Plasmius", Danny growled "what are you doing here?"
"I was reading the newspaper when I come across something that I knew just had to be a joke. You cannot possibly be the prince of Gallia Daniel. You don't even have that, royal air about you. You are just as weak as I remember."
"Look here Vlad I-",Danny was cut off by his dad launching past him to give Vlad a bone-crushing hug.
"Vladdie! It's so good to see you!"
"Its…good…to see you…too Jack…but would you mind…letting me go so…I can breathe?", Vlad gasped out.
"Sorry V-man", Jack said as he let go of him "it's just that I'm so excited that Danny is the new prince. I mean, we always thought it would be Jazz, but since she's away at college, I guess they picked him."
"Yes, well Vlad", Maddie started bringing herself into the conversation "as much as we love having you over, you need to leave. What we are discussing is strictly for only the ears of the royal family, so goodbye."
"But Maddie, I only wish to be a part of Daniels life. He might even need help coping with the surprise of this whole ordeal."
"We can help him with anything he needs Vlad, get out.", Maddie ordered him, her anger rising.
"But-", he started, but she wouldn't let him finish.
"NOW Vladimir!"
Vlad turned around and ran, bolting through the door and into his limo. They wouldn't be seeing him for a while.
"Alright mom!", Danny shouted, while Jack just stood, dumbstruck at how his wife had treated their friend.
"Your highness", Charles started "we can see this is a family issue. Tomorrow we will return for you to bring you to Gallia. It would be best for you to see your kingdom before making any decisions."
With that they bowed once more and headed out. Now alone, Danny turned towards his parents, all confusion and tiredness forgotten.
"You guys have some serious explaining to do."
