So, this is the start of the actual story. Bear with me, as it may feel like the story hasn't really started for a couple of chapters.
It was a sunny, peaceful day in Amity Park. Officer Danny Fenton was on patrol with his partner Stan Walters. They had been partners for ten years now. Stan had been extremely excited to be working with the Danny Fenton, aka Danny Phantom. He had been awestruck for the first week or so. Then he started to see that Danny was just a normal guy. He had a family. He ate breakfast. He went to the movies. He worked. He was just a normal guy for the most part. However there was of course the fact that Danny had ghost powers and in a way worked two jobs. Danny could be called upon day or night to rush off and stop any rampaging ghost that was brave enough to attack Amity Park. Sometimes he would have to go through the ghost zone and protect another town somewhere else but that was rare thanks to Dani Phantom.
They drove the police car through the town, looking for any sign of trouble. They spoke about their families and the latest movie releases. However they then heard an alarm bell. Stan pulled the car over and parked. Danny got out and ran over to a shop. Inside a young man held a cashier at gun point. The thief was shaking and was obviously panicking. It was a dangerous situation. The cashier's eyes flickered over to Danny standing in the doorway, silently pleading for help. Stan arrived at the scene and waited to see what Danny would do. As Danny had ghost powers, he often took control of the situation.
Danny cleared his throat and put his hands up. The thief turned to Danny and his eyes widened in fear. "Stay back! Come any closer and I'll shoot!" the thief commanded. Danny nodded slowly. "Alright, I'm staying here. Now why don't you put down the gun and step away from the counter," Danny suggested. He stood poised, ready to use his powers if needed. The thief shook his head nervously and adjusted his grip on the gun. "No, if I do that, you'll just arrest me. If I have the gun then you can't stop me," the thief responded carefully. Danny noticed the thief's grip tighten on the trigger. He glanced at Stan and mouthed the number 4. It was code for what Danny was about to do. Stan nodded and took out his handcuffs. Danny turned back to the thief. "I'm giving you one last chance to come quietly. Please put down the gun and come quietly," Danny warned the thief. The thief shook his head. He had tears in his eyes. The thief didn't want to shoot the gun but it was obvious that he felt that he had little choice in the matter.
The thief aimed for the cashier's head and was ready to pull the trigger. However Danny moved faster than the human eye could see. He transformed into Danny Phantom and flew over to the thief, no into the thief and overshadowed him. Danny was faster and more powerful in his ghost form. Few people realised this. Danny could use his powers in human form, that was true, but it took more concentration and energy than it did in his ghost form. Besides his human form was heavier than his ghost form and he couldn't fly as well. The cashier and Stan watched as the thief glowed softly green and his face contorted in pain as Danny tried to take over his body. The first thing Danny did was make the thief flick the safety on the gun and then drop it. Then the thief slumped and blinked as Danny took control. "Alright Stan, I've got control. Put the handcuffs on. I'll walk him to the car and then you can get the cashier's statement," Danny informed Stan with the thief's voice. The thief's voice was slightly different however it was softer and gentler. It spoke the same way Danny did. Stan smiled slightly and placed the handcuffs on the waiting wrists of the thief. Then they walked side by side to the police car. Stan strapped the thief into the seat and Danny phased out of the thief's body and sat in his seat and returned to human form and began to list off the thief's rights. Stan then went and scribbled down the cashier's side of the story in his notebook. He then joined Danny and the cursing thief in the car. They drove to the police station and placed the thief under formal arrest.
Stan and Danny had a perfect record. The code number 4 was for overshadowing. The code number 8 was for his ice powers. The code number 3 and 2 was for when Danny turned invisible and chased down the criminal from the air. The code number 1 and 3 was for when Danny turned invisible and intangible and went into a situation like a domestic disturbance alone. Danny had explained that the codes referred to the order that Danny learned of his powers. It was just a normal day being Danny Fenton's partner.
I wanted to give an idea of what Danny's job was like. I wanted to give an idea how his powers affected his job.
So, until the next chapter…
