Chapter 9: new allies and faraway love
Previously on running from the grime
Danny's pov
Danny: as much, as I hate to say this, were gonna have to phase, into a vacant room, for tonight.
Tucker: we?
Danny: you got anywhere, else to be?
Tucker: no, alright whatever, I need some more scotch, if I'm gonna spend the night, in a shitty motel.(he took another puff of his joint)
I thought about, how fucked up tuck's life was. I thought about the curse, about my plan of action, for once tuck woke up. These thoughts ran through my head, like running water. Not surprisingly, what I thought about the most, was the nameless girl.
I contemplated her, all the aspects of her. I wondered where'd she live, or who her parents were. What was she like, before the curse?.
My mind is calling me stupid, and my heart is saying, just go for it. So this the part, where I think, what I say, and I do what the hell, I want to do, and right now, I want to, get to know the nameless girl.
I don't understand it, but I know, every bit of it, is true. It scares me, but yet it comforts me. He enrages me, and yet he, soothes the beast within. Is it possible, for someone to set a flame, inside you, from afar, a flame that hurts, so bad, but feels so good?
I'm only a girl, but yet I'm already burnt.
Danny: your thinking, why you, why do have to be in a room, full of people and be all alone. What have you done, to have no one completely, understand you. But standing here, you ready to see, the things you've been deprived of…
Sam: no, not at all, why do your glow green?
Danny: (transforms into Danny phantom) don't run, please.
Danny: it's too late, you had me at hello. Can I kiss you?
Sam: yes(he kisses her)I guess it's just human nature.
This time on running from the grime
Over lookers pov
The halfa and the dark mute girl learned much about each other that fate full night. To each party it felt has if, they had known each other, eons longer than in reality. In reality, neither knew how it was possible; to trust someone you barely met.
Clear as night under the moon, there the two teens were, walking in the moonlight forgetting their realities. Eventually said girl realized, what time it was. Then proceeded to her ghoulish lover, to return her to her home, and decided they would see each other again.
The moment they left each other, the outside became real again and their smiles were proved to only be short-lived, but at least things were finally going, in the right direction for the pair. Too bad that would be short lived as well, I'll tell you how and why later, but for now that's all you need to know.
Said ghostly boy ,gently kissed his beauty on the mouth, and phased through her window, as he heard a suspicious sound, in the big oak tree near the house. The boy still raving with curiousty, flew quickly toward the tree, expecting some sort of animal or bird… what he saw was far worst… a human teenage boy, with night vision goggles.
Dialogue
Ethan is up in the tree with night vision goggles trying to catch a glimpse of sage Dawson and is British
Danny: what the hell, are you doing in a tree!
Ethan: names Ethan, Ethan long, pleased to meet you chap. (reaches hand out to shake)
Danny: (rejects hand) I'm phantom, and I'm not sure if you noticed, but this is private property, so I'm going to ask you, to leave the premises.
Ethan: I know what you think is going on here, but it's simply not the case.
Danny: well enlighten me, Tarzan what is the case, because it seems to me like you have a case, in your head.
Ethan: listen I wish I could stop this, but I can't I'm under the spell of love.
Danny: who the hell, do you think you're in love with?
Ethan: the beautiful sage Dawson let me ask you something chap, is it possible to fall in love from afar.
Danny: I guess, look you can't go around sitting peoples trees, with spy equipment; just tell her how you fell.
Ethan: I can't she won't talk to anyone, but you already know that, and you already know why.
Danny: just um how many people, have you been spying on?
Ethan: I don't call it spying, I call dating from afar, and look I don't expect you to understand Danny, but think
Danny: did you just call me Danny.
Ethan: that's your name isn't it, Danny Fenton\phantom, before you say anything else, or call the asylum on me just hear my proposition.
Danny: I don't know what, you're talking about.
Ethan: the way I see it, all three of us are in the same boat.
Danny: 3
Ethan: tucker you and me, now listen tucker wants jazz, you want Sam
Danny: I have sam
Ethan: yes but I know her, I've been friends with her all my life, it's only a matter of time, before she becomes insecure of your relationship, and starts nitpicking at your flaws, and even so tucker's your friend, jazz is your sister, I presume you want them both to be happy…
Danny: of course I do, but pairing up with a lunatic, who hangs out in trees, isn't the way I really want to go about it.
Ethan: very well chap, but at least here my proposition, in the name of the Dawson.
Danny: you have 3 minutes
Ethan: as I was saying, to get our women completely, we must break there curse and or find a cure. Just think mate with your powers, tuckers technology and my spy skills, we will be the perfect team. I'm not asking you to be my friend or even like me, but if you have a smithereens, of a chance at defeating Helen you'd need someone who knows her, who knows this town better than the bloody mayor. So if you want to break there curse, let me help.
Danny: I'm sure there's some kind of catch, to seal the deal.
Ethan: I will stop at nothing to get sage, I not above pulling skeletons out of closets, so shake a sinner's hand phantom.
Danny: on one condition, you hurt anyone I swear
Ethan: phish posh I won't touch a hair on anyone's head, that's not what I'm here to do, my mouth is shut, as long as no one knows I spend my time in these tree's.
Danny: define no one
Ethan: one who is able to hide, a secret identity, surely knows the meaning of a simple word.
Danny: we have to tell tucker, you want to be this team
Ethan: when you saw me up here you assumed I was some sort of teenage pervert or a paparazzi, correct.
Danny: well what do you expect?
Ethan: correct!
Danny: yeah, that's what I thought
Ethan: I don't want that assumption in anyone else's head, even the misunderstood needs friends.
Danny: Your rights they do just try to stay outta the trees.
Ethan: I make no promises, do we have a deal phantom.
Danny: Danny just Danny, deal (shakes hand)
Ethan: who knows, we might even get along.
Danny: well see, once were on solid ground. (Starts flying towards the ground as Ethan start climbing down)
Ethan: so you're no longer denying it.
Danny: what
Ethan: that you're also Danny Fenton
Danny: nah I know you won't tell, Tarzan.
Ethan: fair point (they both reach the ground)
30 minutes later at Jo Ann's place
Danny: I'll knock
Ethan: are you sure he's here
Danny: if he's not this lady will have a clue, he wasn't at the club, oh and don't mention I'm phantom or that you know about he's and tucker's (gulp) relationship.
Ethan: alright let's just knock, I'm ready to conk out, I need a rested head, were starting research tomorrow.
Danny: alright (knocks on door)
Tucker: (shirtless nothing but boxers on answers door) can I help—oh hey I'm uh kind busy
Jo Ann: (distant voice) babe hurry back
Ethan: well just back
Danny: couldn't have said it better, myself. Just come out the house when you're ready tuck. (Slams door)
Ethan: I'm gonna go out on a thin rope here, and say that means he'll come out later.
Danny: let's just go get a bite to eat, wait a minute where do you live.
Ethan: in a trailer park, on the other side of town.
Danny: no offense or anything, but how did you afford spy gear.
Ethan: I didn't and no I didn't steal it, I got the sales lady to uh give it to me, in more ways than one, if you know what I mean.
Danny: thank you for that mental image that I totally didn't need.
Ethan: yeah well you asked.
Danny: let's just go, get some food.
Ethan: I supposed you have money
Danny: no you're the one who has parents, and a home I thought you had money.
Ethan: hey fucked some middle aged divorced lady, for spy gear how in the hell would I have money.
Danny: again image I didn't need.
Ethan: oh please, like you're a virgin.
Danny: well uh (nervous chuckle) we uh need to eat, mindless chat is getting us nowhere.
Ethan: so I thought
Danny: what's your problem huh?
Ethan: I don't exactly have a problem
Danny: says the boy in a tree, with the night vision goggles.
Ethan: they weren't night vision goggles; they also have a x ray feature, for seeing through walls.
Danny: this is what I'm talking about; you have an excuse for everything.
Ethan: it's called letting nothing get you down, if you take everything lightly everything is light, no one would be bitter if, if they lived the way I do.
Danny: ahhh I see so spying on cursed girls on a daily basis is a way to improve your life; you'd make one hell of a life coach.
Ethan: look that's your problem; you don't know how to joke around.
Danny: no, I know when not to joke around.
Ethan: well your sister sure is a liar
Danny: where the hell do you get off—?
Ethan: various places mate, but I simply mean you're sister said, you were the joke around type, well not from the street I'm standing in.
Danny: well maybe, you should stand, on another street, and as for what my sister said, she's speaking of the boy I was, not the man I am.
Ethan: is that so you have the fastest, growth spurge in history, oh dear two year from a boy to a man, do you even here yourself.
Danny: hey look you signed up, to tag along with me, not vice versa.
Ethan: and I'm sure you know every inch of the town, and have known the Dawson's since, the beginning of time.
Danny: and I'm sure, you can get sage without me.
Ethan: exactly my point, neither of us can, reach our goals, so we'll be allies and maybe learn something along the way; I don't want to have a fight for, the sake of your ego.
Danny: and I don't want to have a fight, for the sake of your immaturity.
Tucker: guys can you at least try, to get along.
Ethan: approximately how long, have you been standing there?
Tucker: long enough, guys if were gonna get what we want, we are gonna have to work together, once we get our girls, you two can tear each other's heads off after, remember Helen is the enemy.
Danny: when the hell did you get so wise?
Tucker: it's a onetime thing, don't get used to it.
Danny: either way, your right tuck we'll meet outside, the Dawson's house tomorrow at 11:00 AM.
Ethan: very well, I'm headed home see you tomorrow.
He walks off in the opposite direction, and Danny and tucker, head toward the motel.
10 minutes later at the motel inside the room
Danny sits on his bed while tucker sits on his own
Danny: so what's his story?
Tucker: why
Danny: maybe a little sympathy for him will help us find a common ground or at least get along.
Tucker: well were weren't best friends or anything, we hung out from time to time, cause he knew Sam and sage. From what I here, he knew them since they were like babies. They didn't become friends, until like middle school. His dad is a part of the mafia, and his mom was murdered his dad, so it's just him and his sister now.
Danny: he just walks around like, nothing bad has ever happened to him, like by some miracle he's been spared, from the hellish exist that earth is.
Tucker: that's just how he deals with things; I guess it's just better to forget.
Danny: (eyes flash green) what are you saying, for me to forget my parents? How about you're down falls, you walk around drunk or high, half the time and when you're not you're banging, one of your look a likes.
Tucker: hey I didn't say any of that; I said that's how Ethan deals with his problems. What is wrong with you man, we could joke all the time, we could laugh and smile, and really.
Danny: hey just stop, he died, the Danny you knew fucking died, the day you left, amity park and took my sister with me. When I needed you two the most you disappeared, don't you dare talk about how happy we used to be, you ruined that. You killed me you two killed every one.
Tucker: man come on, I thought we were trying to get our friendship, back on track don't do this Danny.
Danny: look I need to blow off some steam; I can't do this right now.
Tucker: Danny I know you can't understand this but,
Danny: I need to blow off steam, don't wait up! (Transforms into phantom and fly's through the roof)
Danny's pov
This has been, one confusing day. I'm unraveling new pieces, and meeting new people, but were still no closer to breaking the curse. I never really realized how much I've changed since I lost tucker and jazz. It's like I can't even remember, how I was before.
I know who I was, but I know I may never be him again. Life right now is so confusing, and the last thing I needed, was to meet Ethan long. You know how you meet that one person, and you have a lot in common, but yet you can't get along.
Well for me Ethan is that person. I don't exactly hate him, like I do the evil ghost I fight, or even like I hated max, but still I just don't like him, something about him just makes me want to scream. I wonder if it's jealously.
He doesn't have anything I don't, or didn't have, but the way he can still live his life, and not let it where him down, well there's something to be said, for someone like that. I really don't know what this mission has in store for me.
All I can really ask is that I keep my sanity, during the duration and maybe even beyond. I am just flying now, through the endless navy blue sky, the night provides. I am really going nowhere; just letting the cool breeze hit my pale face.
You know that feeling you get, when it's the night before something really big, when you are extremely tired and know you need the sleep, but yet you just can't drift off. I feel like that every night, I haven't slept completely since, the day tucker and jazz left.
That's the point, I trace it all back to, all this misery, the pain pills, the one night stands, the numbing myself of my emotions, everything that brought on dark Dan, and murdered all I had left. I thought it would be easier than this, to see them again. Although here I am, mad and angry at them, blaming them, I guess I just need someone to blame.
I guess there's more to this mission than I know; even though I am incredible angry at them, I still can't help but love them. Tucker was practically my brother, and jazz was my sister besides Paul, they were all I had, and then out of nowhere they were gone.
I learned to let go of my emotions, numbing with pain pills and sex. I thought I was coming here, to start anew and forget the past. Yet here they are, for two years I dreamed of seeing them again, and now that I have, I become angry. I don't even know what to think. I am just so angry, I am mad and bitter, so who am I to blame.
This is my greatest battle, the one inside myself, once upon a time, I would've asked jazz about this or even mom, now look at us, mom is gone, and jazz won't even talk to me. People like to ask people in pain, if you could do it all over again, what would you do differently.
I didn't do anything wrong to begin with, I tried my damnest to do the best I could to do the right thing, so why the fuck do I get this in return. What did I do, to have this fate; I just want to scream, to cry to just hit something. I could hell I should, if I didn't have Sam, I would.
There I go again I don't understand why I feel for her, why I need her, why I would die for her. Is it possible she is what I have been looking for, the key back to my happiness, the one to save us all, and reunite our lives?
Nothing is what it seems, but I am worried for her as one line, of the curse pops through my head:
there is no escape, unless I am saved, by the one who's not pure ,but just as broken has I ,lays down his heart ,but if not I shall die..
Those six words, damn near shatter my heart, if it were to come true, there is no possible way I could live on. This is simple because, statements like these don't come without a time limit. We are nowhere near a cure, we haven't even started searching, and the spell was cast two years ago. It's only a matter of time before; it runs out its threat.
I don't care what I have to do, I will not let her down, no matter what I will break her curse. Hopefully I will heal my bitterness, along the way. Tomorrow I will complete mission two, research. It is a long road, of forgiveness lies, truth, love and happiness, but if at the finish line, Sam can speak again it will all be worth it.
a/n: okay so let's be honest here this was kind of a filler chapter but it was needed it had some foreshadowing and I needed you to see Ethan's personality I'm pretty sure there will be some DxS in the next chapter so stay tuned I have a lot more in store next time over and out check out the Facebook bye oh and btw dont write ethan off as a gary stu until atleast the next three chapters i hope you like him
