"That was a low blow" Deadpool said "I mean come on how can you end it there"

I'm writing another chapter aren't I

"Good than hop to it Number boy I wanna see Dash get punched again"

Deadpool grinned "knowing YOUR sadistic tendecy for violence it'll be better than the Danny and Gwen scene" Deadpool cheered pulling out a bucket of popcorn getting comfortable sitting in a theatre chair Deadpool looked at 61394 expectedly

"Well do your Freddie Mercury quote and get on with the story"

You say the show must go on one time

"Once" Deadpool asked incredeously

Ok more than once but you know what they say the show must go on

"Give this guy reviews faves and follows too"

Let's get on with the story

After Many Dates Danny and Kitty


"Danny we're mad too" Sam said "but don't do something stupid" she pleaded

Danny looked back to his friends "no promises" Danny said coldly marching towards the sound of the cackling Danny saw Dash hanging by his locker with Paulina Dale some other football players and cheerleaders

"Dash" Danny shouted Dash stopped laughing smirking evilly at Fenton
"Well if it isn't the Mutie lover himself" Dash said cackling grabbing one of his flyers sticking it in Dannys face "how'd you like the picture think Paulina got her good side"

"Not that she'd have a good side" Paulina snarked laughing nastily their cronies laughing with her

Danny growled his eyes almost glowing but Danny held back he wouldn't give in Danny's fist clenched and he punched Dash in the face knocking him down before any of the A-Listers could register that 'Puny Fenton' just decked Dash Danny leapt onto Dash punching him in the face and stomach

"How dare you how dare you how dare you" Danny shouted punching Danny before he was pulled off of Dash by the football players Dash got up a black eye forming over his right eye

"Hold the little freak lover I'm gonna pound him" Dash said throwing his fist back to punch Danny

"Baxter" Jazz shouted as a senior grabbed Dash holding him while another grabbed the football players holding onto Danny pulling the halfa sophomore free patting Danny on the back

"You ok dude" he asked Danny nodded

"I will be when I deck Dash again" Danny said while Jazz Michelle and a group of angry students gathered around Danny and Dash

Jazz got in Dash's face showing everyone that Danny wasn't the only Fenton with a temper

Jazz grabbed Dash by the collar sticking one of the banners in his face "explain yourself Dash NOW" Jazz demanded furiously

Paulina not noticing how angry the people around her scoffed "because Fenton defied the natural order"

Jazz turned on her her cheerleader cronies looked like deer in the headlights

"What natural order" Jazz asked Paulina was starting to get afraid backing up into a locker

"Well" Jazz asked "I'm waiting"

"He's a loser geek freak he's not allowed to go to parties the popular people can't Paulina explained smirked " besides I don't get why he's so mad all we did was expose the Mutie freak and how he's an even bigger freak for dating her"

"Yeah he conned Michelle into going to her party and not invite the king of Casper High" Dash added

"More like the King of doofuses" Sam shouted

Danny blinked were these people serious they did everything expose Kitty as a mutant to his entire school because they didn't get invited to a party that is by far the silliest pettiest most pathetic reason to ever do something that he'd ever heard the Cheesehead was more mature than these two

Michelle growled

"Danny didn't con me into anything I've only known him for a few days " Michelle shouted at Dash before slapping him

"And I told you exactly why I didn't want you at my party you loser" Michelle shouted putting an arm around Danny's shoulder "he has more maturity in his pinky toe than you do in your entire body" she shouted

Normally Danny would be blushing having a beautiful girl's arm on his shoulder but Danny had a girlfriend and he was still mad

"But he's dating a Mutie" Paulina shouted

Jazz crossed her arms "and what's wrong with mutants"

A senior nodded "yeah Fentons girlfriend saved my life last Saturday"

"She's a hero" another added

"And the two of you are zeros" more students were shouting in agreement Dash growled about to resort to violence as per usual when the box ghost sped past followed a wild blast hitting the ceiling

Paulina gushed "my ghost boy's here to sweep me off my feet"

'Yeah right' Danny thought 'also my aim's not that bad' Danny groaned "oh no"

Not them

Not now

Danny's parents rushed into the hallway ecto weapons loaded


Maddie noticed the crowd of students with her children in the center more importantly she noticed the furious look on her sons face

Maddie knew her children all had a temper something they got from both ends of the gene pool

But Danny was usually the most levelheaded his temper only exploding when something large happened there was also the state of his clothes they were wrinkled and was that a bruise forming on his knuckles

"Danny sweetie are you all right" she asked

Jazz gave her mother a weird look "mom have you not noticed what's all over the walls"

'The walls' Maddie thought confused before she took off her goggles "not really goggles cut off my peripheral vision" she said before looking at what had both her children so upset

The hallway was covered in flyers all with a picture of Kitty however it was the words scrawled across the poster that had her so furious

Judging by her husbands breathing he was just as furious

"And who exactly is responsible for this slanderous graffiti" every student pointed to a group of students in letterman jackets and a Latina girl who looked vaguely familiar to Maddie her name started with a P

Oh that's right her name is Paulina she and Danny used to date though it seems in Maddies opinion her son traded up with Kitty

Maddie grabbed a flyer marching angrily to Dash "are you responsible for these flyers young man"

The boy Dash Maddie remembered his name being nodded affirmatively

"I thought the school should be informed of Fenton's mutant menace" he said "after all she attacked me on the street out of the blue"

Danny growled "after you grabbed me and accused me of hacking your profile for the dating service" Danny fired back

"I will not hit a child I will not hit a child I will not hit a child" Maddie could hear her husband mutter and right now she was of similar thoughts thinking of breaking out the 'Fenton Anticreep stick"

Dash continued talking and she could see why her son was so mad "mutants don't belong around normal people it's not safe"

"Exactly" Paulina said snobbishly "my papa says all mutants and the rest of the freaks like you Fentons should be thrown in jail for the normal peoples safety" she said snobbishly in a shallow attempt to justify her actions Maddie came to the conclusion based on no ones reactions that this kind of talk was in character for the girl

'Danny definitely traded up' Maddie thought

She also watched sadly as Dash and Paulina's words found people who agreed with the popular kids words

Jack and Maddie had enough

"SHUT UP" Jack bellowed loudly getting everyone's attention punching a locker so hard the metal bent

"Thank you dear" Maddie said

"So, Kitty is different why is that a bad thing" Maddie said, surprising even their son in the process

Danny regarded her strangely as if she was speaking in a strange language

"Mom dad you guys don't mind that Kitty is a mutant" Danny asked, looking hopeful Maddie frowned did her son really think so lowly of them that they would judge his girlfriend because of a single genome

"I will admit that I was surprised at first but I think she's a lovely girl and judging by this photo she did saved a young man's life I see no reason for this hate speech" Maddie said kindly


"I quite agree Mrs. Fenton" Mr. Lancer said walking through the hallway with a frown on his face

Danny groaned now here was Mr. Lancer coming to sweep everything under the rug and let Dash get away with everything because he was a 'Star Quarterback' Dash seemed to expect this too grinning

"Mr. Lancer thank goodness you're here Fenton attacked me" Dash said "look what he did to my eye"

Mr. Lancer looked at Dash for a moment "considering you decided to spread hate speech through out the school about his girlfriend I can see why" Mr. Lancer said before looking to Dash Paulina and their comspirators

"Tell me are any of you aware of Educational mandate 4/3/04" all the students and Danny's parents shook their heads

Mr. Lancer continued "any student who uses hate speech verbally or written regarding another students race culture or physical condition will be suspended for a month" Danny was pretty sure his jaw was on the floor and considering his powers they might be

"WHAT" Dash and Paulina yelled "you can't do that to us we're popular we're rich we're hot"

Dash exclaimed "I'm the quarterback"

"Last I checked quarterbacks were not exempt from state law your suspension begins as soon as you and your accomplices remove every copy of this hate speech from my school now"

Paulina whined "but it took hours for the nerds we made do this to put them up" Mr. Lancer was not caring

"Than I suggest you get started because you two are not leaving until every scrap of hate speech has been removed from my school" he said looking to the rest of the students "the rest of you this is a place of learning get to class"

Mr. Lancer turned to Danny's parents "as for you Mr and Mrs. Fenton expect a bill for the locker and any damaged contents"

Jack looked at the locker he had punched seeing the fist shaped imprint "fair enough" Jack conceded before he and Maddie went back to hunting the box ghost

The students dispersed Danny looked to Mr. Lancer for a minute the overweight english teacher looked at him

"Yes Mr. Fenton" Mr. Lancer asked

Danny shook his head "nothing sir" he said before he and his friends walked off to class


School ended and the students of Casper high quickly departed well not all of the students Danny watched with smug satisfaction as Dash Paulina and the rest of their little gang were prying those disgusting flyers off the wall under the supervision of Coach Testlaff

"Have fun Dash" Danny said Dash growled but couldn't do anything with the gym teacher

"Just you wait Fenton I'll get you back for this you and your mutie girlfriend" Dash grumbled quietly too bad for him Coach Testlaff heard him

"That's another month Baxter and don't expect your varsity spot when you get back" Coach Testlaff barked Dash muttered miserably before going back to his 'unfair' punishment

Paulina moved slowly complaining and whining the whole time "if only my ghost boy had showed up he wouldn't stand for Mutie freaks in Amity Park"

Danny frowned while Paulina got another month suspension

Sam put a hand on Danny's shoulder "what does she know Danny" Sam said angrily "she's just a shallow fangirl who can't tie her shoes on her own"

Tucker nodded "yeah dude just ignore her and Dash once we're out of here they'll be irrelevant"

Danny wanted to agree with his friends and not just because they were right but he didn't like how they thought they could get him or Phantom to agree with their words if only he had a way to get his thoughts out

Danny turned to Sam and Tucker "guys we need to make a quick stop before heading home"

Sam and Tucker looked at each other "we're not messing with Dash and Paulina because I would rather pretend this day never happened"

"Besides celebrating no Dash and Paulina for two months" Tucker added "or more"

Danny shook his head he wasn't going to use his powers to get even with them he'd learned that lesson back when Pariah Dark invaded "no no revenge we're just going to get my word out"

Sam and Tucker looked to each other


Lance Thunder sighed as he walked from the newsvan to the station it was so surprising he actually got to do a weather report sometimes he felt like his coworkers forgot he was a weatherman

Sure he had a minor degree in investigative journalism but still he was a weatherman not Lois Lane

"Excuse me Mr. Thunder" a voice said Lance turned in surprise to see Danny Phantom with the new hero Blackthorn

"Uh yes" Lance said
Danny Phantom floated down holding out his hand "Mr. Thunder it's nice to meet in person" Danny Phantom said politely

Lance surprised quickly hid it "the pleasures all mine Danny Phantom what can I do for you" he asked curious why a superhero of all people just magically appeared in his lap

Danny Phantom grinned "I'd like to make a statement a public statement and your the best reporter in the city" Danny said "after all you're the only one who hasn't run for the hills" Danny complimented

At least Lance thought it was a compliment it was true most of his fellow journalists found a reason to jump ship pretty quickly after a ghost attack but not Lance no this was his home he'd been born here went to school here and raised a family here

"Can I ask what the statement is about" Lance asked Danny Phantom nodded before answering with one word

"Mutants"


Ron Lancer let out a relaxed sigh he did a number of jobs at Casper high teaching everything from English to Math while acting as a Vice Principal until a new one was hired the last person to hold the position didn't even last past the Ghost Kings invasion

Sitting in his favorite arm chair with a good book and a turkey sandwich on wheat

Ron turned on the tv switching to the local news he'd watch for an hour or so while he ate see what was happening in the world than dig in to his book

On the screen was Lance Thunder standing besides someone most wouldn't believe Danny Phantom and his partner Blackthorn some of the students and even his fellow faculty gossiped how the two made for a sweet couple

Ron didn't believe that though from the way the two acted during Blackthorns debut battle it appeared their relationship was more platonic than romantic but it was hardly his business who dated who

"This is Lance Thunder with me is local hero Danny Phantom who approached this reporter about making a statement"

A statement Ron thought that would be interesting most superheroes tended to stay away from the press and Danny Phantom was no exception he wondered what was so important that Danny Phantom would make a statement to the press

On the screen Danny Phantom nodded "thank you Mr. Thunder" Danny Phantom turned to face the camera directly

"Earlier today two individuals spread hate speech against individuals born with the X-Gene in a public place after they were caught they said that I would agree with them and deal with the mutants" Danny Phantom said calmly into the microphone

"I've come here in this public place to say that this is not true I would never discriminate against a person for something they were born with"

Lance kept a neutral face "you seem very passionate about this"

Danny nodded "I am over the past summer I have fought alongside people from many walks of life I've seen mutants mutates aliens robots and people with no extraordinary powers at all I'm proud to call many of these people my friend I'm honored to call them my friend" Danny said

"A man alot smarter than me once said Darkness cannot drive out darkness only light can do that hate cannot drive out hate only love can do that" Danny said "to the people of Amity Park I say this I will fight for you I'll put my life on the line for you but I won't be used as a symbol for hate"

Ron nodded at the appropriate use of Dr. Kings words it seemed Danny Phantom could be quite a passionate speaker

Lance nodded "thank you Danny Phantom" Lance turned the microphone over to Blackthorn "and you Blackthorn do you have anything to add"

Blackthorn nodded "well my partner said it best but I'll add this this is a country of immigrants from the stars and from across the globe and everyone including mutants has a right to be here and to be treated fairly in the eyes of the law"

Lance nodded "This is Lance Thunder signing off"

Ron turned off his TV "well now that was certainly interesting"

Ron was about to pick up his book when the phone rang standing up Ron walked over and answered it

"Hello Lancer residence"

"You broke the rules" Ron frowned he knew this voice ever since last year though he didn't know who it belonged to
"I don't regret my actions in the slightest" Ron said into the phone "I will not violate a state mandated educational guideline no matter who is blackmailing me"

"You know very well what I have on you Lancer do you think you can get away with defying our agreement"

Ronald frowned clearly this person didn't know the definition of blackmail

"I don't know who you are but I refuse to disregard my morality any longer I will treat every student as what they are students popular or not"

"We'll see about that" the voice said before the line went dead Ron sighed putting down his phone putting his book aside deciding to go to bed he wasn't in the mood for reading anymore


And that'a all I wrote

As per usual thanks again to Flowerprincess11 for her help

I hope everyone was satisfied with this latest chapter

I used Mr. Lancers voice actor Ron Pearlman to give him his first name

Thanks yukid999 for the suggestion for Danny to make a public statement

The quote Danny used comes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

This is a special day because on this day seventeen years ago Danny Phantom premiered

Happy Birthday Danny you were gone too soon here's hoping one day we can all go ghost again

But until that day comes

Stay safe

And
