Hello all you beautiful people, I'm back for a super short bonus chap! :D I figured since Christmas is next in line, and Thanksgiving works both currently and in the story timeline, that I might as well have a themed chapter for it!

Special thanks to these peeps who followed/faved me as an author: ChaoticMinds, Glaciaj Flamoj, and Sabrina06! You guys are awesome! 3

BTW for those of you who are confused by the crappy title, it's a play on words with the saying "no harm, no foul," which basically means that if there wasn't a negative effect of an event, then there's no need to be upset about it. The word '"fowl" is another word for bird. You'll get it once you read though, lol

ANYWAY let's get on to the chapter! It's really short and sweet compared to my other chaps but I hope you enjoy it anyway!

No Harm, No Fowl

Leaves drifted through the misty afternoon sky like confetti, slowly but surely emptying the trees of their only garments. There was a chill in the air that could only remind one of the autumn months: too warm to be winter, but too cold to be spring.

It was times like these that Danny enjoyed flying casually around Amity, just to watch and smile as shrieking kids jumped into leaf piles, parents raking up the mess again in annoyance and lighthearted amusement. Dogs galloped across backyards barking in surprise at the passing halfa, somehow able to sense his arrival even when he was gone from the visible spectrum. The blaring honks of migrating geese echoed from a distance, appearing through the clouds in diligently arranged V-formations as they traveled north for the winter months.

That time of year had always felt special, with the beautiful changing colors and mouthwatering Thanksgiving meals and hoarding of Halloween candy. But now, after his life had been changed forever, it seemed to hold a new significance.

This November marked almost fifteen months of being Phantom. Fifteen months of lying, training, and fighting ghosts all without his parent's knowledge.

Fifteen months of not being completely human.

Danny shook himself out of his thoughts as he lazily brushed across the top of a tree, dislodging dozens of leaves that flew down chaotically behind him, which revealed his invisible presence to anyone who happened to witness.

Thanksgiving had already passed by, having occurred just a few days before, and December's arrival was just around the corner. And it was definitely a Thanksgiving never to be forgotten.

The Fenton's usually spent the holiday together as a nuclear family, since other relatives and grandparents lived states away in a variety of areas around the U.S. As a last minute idea, Maddie and Jack had had invited their old college friend over to join in the celebration, since the three had reconnected over the past months. It had been a pleasant surprise, at least in the beginning and eventually in the end.

The ghost boy couldn't help but grin as he remembered the day's events. All along, he had warned his mother not to let the turkey be anywhere near anything ectoplasm-related. But in a way, Danny was glad that no one had listened. Seeing Vlad being attacked by a vicious ghost-infested half-baked turkey had been utterly hilarious.

Sure, his mother had scolded him for laughing so hard at his mentor's expense, but it had totally been worth it. Obviously Vlad was fine and could easily take care of himself, even when he was in a house full of ghost hunters and stuck in human form as he was bowled over by a flying turkey. Danny's only regret was forgetting to film it for future blackmail purposes.

But anyway, after the main course had been subdued by the outraged Fenton parents, the day had gone considerably normal. The rest of the food turned out fine, and no obnoxious ghosts had further interrupted the event. Everyone had to admit that it could have gone much worse, all things considered.

The halfa sighed, reluctantly heading back in the direction of home. The sky was already darkening at an early evening hour as it did in the late months of each year, and homework for the following day wasn't about to finish itself...

Thanksgiving break may have ended already, but at least he could look forward to the extended winter break scheduled only a few weeks ahead. But, of course, with it would come Christmas.

That holiday had always been mediocre at best, with numerous bad memories associated with it from over the years. No matter what precautions the youngest Fenton took to prevent any unfortunate events, the universe never failed to punish him on what was supposed to be the merriest day of the year.

Maybe this Christmas would be different... After all, everything else in his life had changed in some fashion, so with any luck his experiences with the holiday could change, too, and hopefully for the better.

Sorry it was so short! I sorta ran out of ideas towards the end... Anyway this was just meant to keep y'all interested until the next, way bigger chap; Christmas is up next, and should be out sometime next month or early January! I hope y'all had a good thanksgiving (if you celebrate it) and I'll see ya next chap! :)
