"Did you get hit?" asked Mr. Lancer, frantically patting Danny down. "Did you-?"
Danny, who had been covering the bullet wound firmly with his hand, forced a smile and hoped none of the blood would leak through before his ghost powers kicked in and healed him. "Nope! Guess he missed."
"Did you get hit?" asked Mr. Lancer, frantically patting Danny down. "Did you-? He pointed it right at you, you're-"
Danny, who had been covering the bullet wound firmly with his hand, forced a smile and hoped none of the blood would leak through before his ghost powers kicked in and healed him. "Nope! Guess he missed."
"Oh, God, you're bleeding!"
Woops. Guess he failed to take the exit wound into account.
"I was just clipped?" tried Danny. "It's just a flesh wound?"
"Someone call an am-"
Danny seized Mr. Lancer's wrist. "No. Ambulance."
"Mr. Fenton, I know how expensive these things can be, but it isn't worth your life!"
"I'm not going to die," said Danny, rolling his eyes. "I'm just... afraid of hospitals?"
He caught Tucker's eyes over Lancer's shoulder. Really? The other boy mouthed. Danny made a face. It wasn't as if Tucker was contributing any solutions.
"So afraid you'd risk your life?" Mr. Lancer turned. "Why is no one calling-?"
"It's fake! It's fake blood. Tuck and I were going to try to do a short film after school, and, you know, fake blood packets. They're even really cheap faje blood packets. You can see green flecks in the blood!"

"Ectoplasm, right?" He laughed. "Yeah, Tucker and I noticed it. Yeah."
The rest of the class looked on with varying levels of incredulity.
"Mr. Fenton-"
"Here!" Danny yanked up the hem of his shirt. "Look! No holes in me!"
Thank goodness for ghost healing powers.
Mr. Lancer let out a slow, steady sigh. "Alright. Sometimes I wonder at your bad timing, but alright. We still need to call the police." He turned sternly to face the rest of the class. "And talk about emergency response. I know we're on a field trip, but really-"
