Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or 6Teen. I do not own the original story this is based on.
Sam woke up to the smell of a dark-roasted scent filling her nose. She stumbled and stirred as she took the time to notice her face above a cup o' joe. As the goth girl came too, she took note of her surroundings and began to remember what happened.
I got back yesterday, went to see Tucker and Danny today, and then-that girl!
Sam noticed she was still at the same table with the teens, though some of them had left already.
"Jonesy, Wyatt, Caitlin, and Tucker left to see about the YouMe=Love! Contract," Nikki replied. They really had too. Deadpool's antics had to be stopped, or in this case, taken out of fine print that allows him to legally steal from people. "The rest of us stuck around to see if you were all right."
"Need some coffee, bra?" Jude asked with another mug in his hand. "Wyatt and Jonesy bought like…a bunch."
Sam, noticing the one holding her head, was Danny, jolted straight up. Her eyes went straight to Jen, who stood by the ghost boy. With a stern glare at the two, the goth girl crossed her arms and tapped her foot in impatience.
"What are you doing?" Jen asked in confusion and slight jealousy.
"Waiting," the answer came with a stubborn tone from the black-haired teen.
Nikki, already annoyed with Sam's behavior, walked in between the three as Jude protected himself under the table. His head was peeking out to make sure he didn't miss anything.
"Okay, we only met a few minutes ago, but what is your problem?" the punk girl was up in the goth's face.
"My 'problem,' is that I come back from a trip in Europe to see that my best friend is...with someone who I've never met before," Sam didn't want to say "dating." To say that word would mean to accept the reality that the boy she likes taken. The goth girl had known the ghost boy before he became the halfa hero, and she wasn't happy about the fact that he found romantic interests in another girl.
"Yeah? Well, your best friend and my best friend are dating. And if they want to see each other, then let them," the punk girl would not back down. She was too stubborn and could probably handle whatever the younger teen would throw at her.
"Oh, crap," Jen had an idea what was going on with the goth girl. She would have intervened but knew that her friend can handle herself.
Danny, clueless as he is, tried to mediate the situation. However, a tug from his girlfriend not to get involved. This did nothing to deter the halfa, as he had faced worse before.
"Come on, Sam, Nikki. Yesterday was a really rough day, and some of us are a little-," Danny stopped as he realized how the mitigation of his previous battle was futile. "Oh, who am I kidding? Yesterday was horrible! The only good thing was meeting Jen's friends. They're nice guys, who actually gave me a chance. So why don't we try being nice!"
"Dude!" Jude wished he had some popcorn, or Ragin Cajun fries, to distract him. "I hope the dudes are doing better."
Jonesy, Wyatt, Caitlin, and Tucker were traversing the mall at a decent pace. With the day growing older, more shoppers came along, but it didn't impede their path to the dating booth.
"Ohhh! Look at this top!"
Except when Caitlin became preoccupied with whatever appealed to her sense of fashion.
"Caitlin! Focus!" Jonesy spoke, not loudly, but with a commanding tone. His trembling body told of how on edge he was. "We have to see about that contract. I don't want some red-suited guy to steal my stuff! I like my stuff!"
"Calm down, Jonesy," Wyatt patted his friend on the back to calm him down. "We'll get everything sorted out."
"I still want to know how you got a job at the dating service you signed up for," Tucker was rightfully curious at the predicament.
"Fine print," the angry ex-employee grumbled.
"So Tucker, tell us about yourself. We hardly got to know you," Wyatt changed the subject. No one needed terrible vibes.
"Well, there is not much to know about. I'm just a simple guy. Who also happens to be a master with tech," Tucker said as he pulled out his trusty PDA.
"If you guys ever need to know where to get the latest model, I know a guy," Tucker spoke with pride.
"Uh, we'll keep that in mind," Wyatt said, unsure.
It's obvious this guy is a tech geek, but they entertained the boy.
"Don't phones do more than PDA's?" Jonesy's question made the others stop and stare.
"Wait, I thought PDA are old phones."
It was obvious the older boys had some idea of technology like your regular teenager would. It didn't stop the techno-geek from grumbling.
"PDA's will make a comeback."
The teens kept walking to the amusement of the techno loving teen except for one.
"Hey, may I ask you something?" Caitlin tapped Tucker's shoulder.
If this were his freshman year, the boy would be like, "you can ask me anything, baby," but the girls at the dating service had taught him the errors of that train of thought. And the final teacher couldn't have been blunter before he finally changed his mindset.
"Sure, I guess. Though I kinda doubt it's tech-related."
"Have we met before?"
"You too?"
The two teens looked at each other curiously. They both had the nagging feeling of deja vu, but couldn't pinpoint the reason.
Although the teens were still moving, Jonesy and Wyatt adjusted their pace to bring themselves a reasonable distance closer. The little tidbit sounded too good to be true and to pass up.
"So, we have met."
"That's the funny thing. I don't remember meeting you. If we did, you'd probably slap me or act like I'm not here."
"That bad with women, huh?"
"Yeah," Tucker noticed a snickering face on Jonesy, but ignored it. "but I cleaned up my act and found someone."
That wiped the smirk off the "master dater." He didn't find anyone. Well, anyone he wanted.
"Ooo, really?" Caitlin was enamored with love, so hearing of a geek finding it on his own was a hot topic to her. "What's she like?"
"She's great, but-"
"Hate to interrupt this moment, and I actually do, but I think something is up," Jonesy butted in.
"What makes you say that?" the love loving teen asked before she glanced at the booth.
The teens had reached the YouMe=Love! booth only to see no one operating the station. There was no equipment, and any that was leftover was bolted to the ground. A sign that said "Closed" was placed on top.
"What gives?!" Jonesy was peeved at the situation. "There's no one here."
"Uhhh...guys? I think you might want to look at this," Caitlin pointed to a sign next to the desk.
"I swear if this another shtick by that Deadpool guy I'm — wait? What?" Jonesy took a closer at the object.
We at YouMe=Love! have been notified of an inserted clause in our contract that created a negative environmental impact with all employee livelihoods, including ex-employees. If you are being affected by this disturbance, please check your email for any electronic notice detailing everything.
Thank you, and have a beautiful day.
After finishing the note, the teens stared at the sign in silence. Whether or not it was something out of dignity, no one knows. One thing was for sure; the group all wondered how this dating service worked.
"Maybe it's the fact that I live in a town that has ghost attacks all the time, but I think we should carefully walking next time, Tucker got agreement group. It was too creepy for everyone. Slowly backing away, the teens made the journey back to see how the rest were faring.
Sam and Nikki were at a staring standstill of stubbornness that scared their spectators into silence.
While Jude used the table as a shield, Danny tried to play peacemaker but forgot how stubborn his friend, who is a girl could be. The goth girl was so angry at the sudden change she forgot how rude her attitude is. Despite knowing she was in the wrong, now that there was concentration, her pride wouldn't let her back down.
Something Nikki was aware of and that was the problem. Or so it seemed.
After minutes that felt like hours, the two stopped their staring contest. Exhaustion had taken hold of them. Well, Nikki didn't have a lot of energy, and Sam was tired on an emotional level.
The two girls sat down as Danny, Jen, and Jude sat down a comfortable distance away. The ghost boy was extra precautious and positioned himself in front of his red-headed girlfriend.
After a moment of frightening silence, the punk girl broke the ice.
"Okay, look. I get it's a little too much to see all this change, but what did you think would happen? You were away, and apparently, your friends tried a dating service. Could you being here have changed anything?"
Sam eyed the couple that was her friend and the new girl in his life. She honestly believed she could have prevented the boy from entering such a service.
"Yes," she replied with a scowl.
"How?"
"I'd-I' would...just-"
"People can do what they want. You can't act like this is betrayal when all they did was sign up for something."
"Oh, yeah? Well, if this happened to you, do you think you could handle it better?"
"You've seen my friends. This," Nikki gestured to everything. "is what it's like to be a teenager. Do you really think there's gonna be no drama?"
"I'm not dumb or ignorant. I know there's always going to be some mainstream problem like puberty. But this is," Sam pointed to Danny and Jen. The raven-haired boy now had an arm in front of the girl. "A girl from Canada comes here, enters a dating service, and she matches with my friend!? What are the chances of that?"
"Your town is haunted by ghosts," Jude said bluntly.
The look he got from Sam was spine chilling, but Nikki blocked her eye contact with a stern face back.
"I'm just saying." The laid back teen had his hands in the air.
The goth girl knew he had a point. Despite everything, she didn't particularly believe ghosts would ever infest her town. Still, then again, one thing she found to be charming was that her hometown never seemed that mainstream in comparison to the cities that had superheroes. Sam would never admit that out loud to anyone.
"Come on, Sam," Danny once again tried to defuse the situation. "Is it really that bad that I'm dating? Tucker found a date too."
That was probably one of the most surprising things for the goth girl to hear right now. It wasn't that she didn't think the techno-geek would find someone, it was just that he'd been up to bat with no real hits.
"We were bored, and Tucker found out about it, and we joined up. I honestly didn't think I'd find someone," Danny gave Jen a glance thinking he said something he shouldn't. "Not that mind."
"It's okay," the read head waved off. "I honestly thought the same."
"Same here," Nikki said.
Jude nodded in accordance as Sam was shocked at how much had changed in one month.
What kind of month happened for a girl two years older than us to want to be his girlfriend?
"Fine, so what now?" Sam asked in defeat.
"Now, you apologize to Jen and the rest of us," Nikki commanded. "And I also ask you to be nice about it. So no hitting anyone. Got it?"
"Seriously!?"
"You're the one making angry faces at everyone," the punk girl pointed to the goth, literally and figuratively.
The goth girl sighed before nodding her head. Despite the short fight, there was a small amount of respect for the punk girl. Anyone who makes her back down deserves some respect, at least.
"Fine... I'm sorry." Sam said in her usual tone.
"You could stand to sound more sincere about it," Nikki complained, with a raised eyebrow at the goth's tone.
"Keep waiting. It'll be a while," Tucker muttered, only for Sam to rib him for it.
"I think we may need more coffee," Jude was to a tired Danny with Jen, who held him close. The boy was dead asleep as a pile of empty coffee cups laid below him.
"What the heck!?" Sam and Nikki looked to their table to see the rest of the mugs dry.
"Seriously, what the heck happened!?" Sam now saw this to be no laughing matter and looked to the other teens. "Okay, I know we're not exactly friends right now—"
"We could be," Jude has interjected. The boy was a nice, mellow guy at heart.
"—but could someone please tell me how bad yesterday day was?"
"Dude! There was this hot genie lady!" Jude made a curvaceous figure with his hands.
"Uh... really?" Sam was surprised, though more so at the laid back teen's description of what happened. The girl was smart and could put two and two together.
"Let me guess someone made a wish, and this ghost genie made it happen."
The teens nodded in unison as the goth girl sighed.
"How'd you guess?"
"Not a big city. You can keep track of a lot of things if you pay attention."
Tucker, Caitlin, Jonesy, and Wyatt had returned ten minutes later to see a calmer Sam with Nikki as Jude was munching on some fries he went to get. Danny was still sleeping on Jen, who didn't mind as long as he was appropriate. The techno-geek was very surprised to see the goth girl calmer than when she first arrived. Well, not angry, but she did give him a glare, which made the boy hide behind the teens.
"Is she always like this?" Wyatt asked.
Tucker nodded, while Caitlin patted him on the head. She found him to be alright during their little adventure.
Jonesy plopped himself onto a chair, his body was oozing his grumpy attitude.
"I take it you didn't get an answer?" Nikki snarked.
"That's putting it mildly," the coffee-loving teen answered. "They apparently didn't like the clause as well."
"That reminds me," Tucker spoke up. "If Jonesy here was an ex-employee, didn't he get an email?"
Knocking the funk out of the taller teen's mood, Jonesy hurridly, but not gracefully, took his phone out of his pocket and checked his email. Sure enough, he got a message from the company telling all the details.
"Yeah!" the teen jumped with joy at the email. "They got everything taken care of, and I'm still getting-Uh-Oh!"
"What is it?" Caitlin asked with her lemon hat on now. With everything done, she went back to working on the job.
"According to this, there may be compensation, but that won't prevent that Deadpool guy from bugging me. It also says to check chimichanga stand in case of lost cash. You're kidding me!"
Despite how bad this could potentially be for him, it didn't mean no one found it funny. First Nikki laughed, then the rest, except the sleeping Danny, joined in on the fun.
Jonesy rolled his eyes at this.
Danny almost slid off Jen, who held onto him tighter, who blushed with a smile at keeping him like this.
"So, how are we gonna wake up sleeping prince over there?" Jonesy pointed to Danny, who didn't seem that tired.
The answer, before Jen could protest to whatever the teen had in mind, came in the form of a large drinking cup hitting the boy square in the face. This knocked the ghost boy into a defensive stance as Sam and Tucker glared at the familiar voice. The 6teens, save for Jen, looked to the newcomer with disdain.
"Aww and the little Princess Fentonia looked so peaceful," Dash, who threw the item, mockingly spoke to his friends. "I guess she needs some more beauty sleep."
Jen got between her boyfriend and this jerk and pointed her finger at him in a threatening manner. Her friends got up just in case things didn't make a proper turn out of ugly. They may live in Amity Park or America, but they recognize an arrogant jock when they see one. Especially one that would pick a fight.
"Just back off creep," Jen pushed the bully back.
"Or else what?" Dash asked, unfazed by the act. "What are you gonna do?"
"You mean besides her and the rest of us against you and your two little pals their?" Nikki snarled. "Last, I check nine is greater than three. Or are you bad at math as well?"
"Dude, did you pass math this year?" Kwan asked the quarterback innocently, but not quietly.
"Shut it!" The blonde jock snapped back, but he was not quick enough as the Danny, Jen, and their friends snickered among themselves, except for Jude, who had never been much of a studier.
"Bummer, man," the laid back teen said calmly.
"What did I just say?" the quarterback pounded his hand with a fist. "Besides last I checked, three football players are still better than eight—"
"Nine."
"Still stronger than three losers and a bunch of wimps with no real style!" The Star football player was never that good with wit, but he continued as he eyed the ladies, even Jen and Sam. "But I'll tell you what. Since some of you ladies look nice, wanna see what dating a quarterback is like?"
The girls were not impressed with Dash or his cocky grin as he posed. All they wanted to do was deck him in the face.
Kwan and Dale were a little miffed since they want to pick up chicks as well. They joined in with the posing, but none, the players, were that impressive, even with muscles.
"If that's the best you can do, I think we can take you," Jonesy didn't have any warrior face or eye the tiger, but he meant his word. And the others agreed as they nodded their heads, the ghost boy and his friends as well.
Though being fair, after everything, it wasn't that they were afraid, but annoyed with the bully and had superior numbers this time. There was no point in involving ghost powers.
Nobody backed down, and the girls turned their heads to the jocks' invitations. Dash was furious while Kwan and Dale were more lukewarm about it.
"You know what this means, right, Fentoastsky?" The quarterback now had a mean grin on his face.
But before anything, the sound of screams could be heard in another direction as Danny's ghost sense went off.
"Oh no," the ghost boy muttered. He was willing to fight and protect everyone, but he wondered for how long.
It wasn't long before the familiar setting of a fight came down, but this time there was a foe, young Phantom had not seen before. While it had an ectoplasmic glow, the man had a black and white jumpsuit similar to Danny's. But there was a long black cape with a large "S" that covered most of the front. His hair seemed to be a greenish-red mix that rose like flames, and a black domino mask covered his eyes, which held a malice look in his eyes.
Seeing the teens, who each had a look of fear and confusion except for Danny, Sam, and Tucker, the ghost floated professionally.
"Why hello there citizens of Amity Park-"
"Actually, we're not from here, dude," Jude butted in.
"Yeah, from Canada," Wyatt finished for his friend.
The spirit didn't seem mad but calmly shook his head. Danny wondered why as he inched away to get a chance to transform.
"Well then, you do me a favor and scream in terror as I cause as much chaos to attract the local super?" his speech pattern was similar to another halfa Danny knew. But the young hero couldn't reflect on that, as the ghost locked hold of the Lemon and smashed it against an Albatross & Finch clothing store.
"Nnnnooooooo!" Caitlin got onto her knees and screamed from the horror.
Everyone else did the same, but with more running and much less about a favorite store destroyed.
All the teens, including the jocks, ran and sought shelter from the manic ghost as he unleashed mayhem inside the mall. Jen regrouped with Nikki, Jonesy, Jude, Wyatt, and Caitlin(who was dragged there by the punk girl) after scattering in the nearest store. The teens hid behind the counter as they the glass shatter and walkways crack.
"Everyone alright?" Jen asked her friends, who answered with nods. "What is up with this place? How can people stand living here?"
"Think it's because they have a super here that protects them."
"That doesn't explain-...wait which one of you said that?"
The friends silently shook their heads on their trembling bodies and noticed the voice came from above. Looking up, they saw the ghost sporting a playful grin.
"Don't hold your breath on my account. Please go ahead and scream. I need to test these powers, and the super here should gladly assist with that," After speaking, the man decided a hostage was needed. The idea always seemed typical for a villain. Studying the group, he thought the best would be one who would have some spunk and grabbed Nikki. "You should do nicely."
"Let me go, creep!" the punk girl demanded as she struggled against his grip.
"I have a name, you know," the specter said with a grin as he elevated himself higher.
"Really? I didn't hear you the first time," Danny Phantom said as he flew into the ghost's face. With his hold on the teen loosened, the ghost boy reached out and carried her safely to the ground.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, just give him one for me," landing safely, the purple-haired girl thanked the ghostly hero, and developed a newfound respect for the boy.
The hero nodded and flew into the air as he eyed his fist glowed with energy as he charged ahead.
"So, what I call you? I take it the big 'S' means super, but we have Superman already. So how about Super-"
Danny's words were cut off as the ghost's energy locked him in place, rendering him speechless. He tried to move, but the only thing free were his eyes. All he could do was give his opponent the angry eyes.
"Like it? Back when I was alive, I had these gauntlets that would use zero-point energy to do this. Now? Ba-bam!" he zapped a bystander, Dash, and threw him to another location. The person couldn't move anything but his eyes as well. "All I have to do is point and shoot. Having powers is amazing, just...incredible."
He brought Danny closer.
"And the name is Syndrome."
Syndrome had looked directly into the boy's glowing green eyes that grew stronger. It wasn't long before the villain found himself blasted with ectobeams. Pushed back, his hold on the ghost boy disappeared, but the man still had a grin on his face.
"You sly dog!" his voice was playful and chipper. The ghost was more impressed than angry. "You can shoot your...ghost energy? Is that what it's called? Hmm...I wonder."
But before any thought wondering, Danny Phantom has closed the gap enough for a fist to the face. It wasn't the strongest, but enough to send his foe flying frantically into a falafel stand. The ghost boy dusted off his hands and readied his thermos to capture the ghost. But a voice had directed him otherwise.
"Yo Phantom! Look behind you!" Jonesy called out.
In the nick of time, Amity's superhero had pivoted his attention to see a blast coming for him. The kind that doesn't suspend people.
Danny was face to face with Syndrome. The man still had a playful look but was now serious about the fight as he cracked his knuckles and neck.
"Oh...it's on now."
As the two clashed the six teens watching in anticipation. Obviously, they were cheering for Danny Phantom, who seemed to have the upper hand. But how long would that last?
"We need to do something," Nikki said as she surveyed the area. Her friends gave faces that told her of the craziness she spoke.
"Ummm...bra? What can we do? We don't have power," Jude pointed out as he ducked for shelter. The fight was getting a little intense.
It was then that Tucker and Sam got near the fight, they were about to help Danny and bring out their ghost fighting equipment when they heard the gang.
"Tucker! Sam!" Jen shouted. "What are you guys doing here?" Jen then gasped, "Where's Danny?"
"He's...calling for his parents," Tucker lied. "You see-"
"That's right! his parents are ghost hunters!" the sports-loving teen interjected.
All the teens now stared at the red-head. The techno-geek and goth girl were wondering how she knew that while the older adolescence questioned her knowledge and the odds of ghost fighters in this town. After all, Amity Park only became America's most haunted town for less than a year. If there were ghosts before, it would have held that title for more.
"How do you know that?" Sam asked with a glare.
"Danny told me yesterday on our last date."
The goth girl, despite the predicament the group was in, did not like the small smile on her friend's girlfriend. She did not even like thinking that term. However the
"That Syndrome guy doesn't seem to really be taking this fight seriously," Wyatt noted. The ghost seemed more happy-go-lucky at the moment that wicked or of evil intent. Danny Phantom, in stark contrast, was determined and was using more tricks to stun or knock down the man long enough to contain him within the Fenton thermos.
"Syndrome! Hold on a sec," the techno-geek brought out his PDA and began searching the web.
"Tucker!" his darkness loving friend exclaimed. "now is not the time for web surfing now we have to-"
"Found him!" Tucker exclaimed. "Says here he was one of the bad guys Mr. Incredible fought. He was thwarted by him and Elastigirl and then...died when he was sucked into a turbine. The jet he was in exploded...wow."
"Ouch. that is not how I would want to go, Dude." Jude loomed over the beret-wearing teen.
"I've got an idea!" Caitlin exclaimed low enough not to shout it near the villain, but to fast for Sam to say something, to her chagrin. the blonde girl grabbed the PDA out of the techno-geek's hand and
"Oh boy," Wyatt was now frightened even more. "This can't be good."
Danny Phantom and Syndrome were in combat with dual ectobeams locked. Though Amity's hero had the upper hand with experience, the new ghostly villain had been utilizing his new powers well and had been evening the odds with his bags of tricks and his learning curve. And Phantom was still reeling from yesterday's events.
"You know, at first, I wasn't sure how to take being a ghost, but now, I am loving this! I'm not just a spirit. I'm a SUPER spirit!" With an extra push, the manic man was now starting to give Danny a run for his money. The ghost boy had to exert more muscle into his beams, but there was a limit, and he was reaching it faster with every second. "And once I'm finished with you, it's Mr. Incredible and Elsastigirl next. Then their kids."
The was no playfulness in his voice at that time. The ghost boy had to get back home advantage somehow.
"Hey! Incrediboy!" Nikki yelled. "Over here, you over-grown fanboy!"
"Really? That's the best you could come up with? Calling me by that old name? Wow!" Despite hitting a sore spot, the villain could see a weak attempt to distract him. "You need to-"
"What? Explain to you how you messed up big time as a 'sidekick' and then wannabe villain? No thanks! You didn't learn the first time, and you probably can't this time!"
That hurt. Not the first strike, but the insult to the man's intelligence. Despite his past fan-crazed days, the supervillain had built up everything growing up. He may not have gotten his wish, but everything was his idea, made from the concepts he thought up. The ghostly villain was not going to take that, but in his fit of pride, the ectobeams locked with Phantom weakened, allowing the hero to blast him into the ground.
This time he was stunned long enough to see a peculiar soup container pointed at him. He knew what this meant and had a look of fear on his face. But there was time for one last quip from the resident super.
"You know it's funny, but if it was one of Mr. Incredible's kids and me, I think both of us would be able to take you down no problem."
With those last words, Syndrome disappeared into the thermos.
With the ghost defeated, Danny Phantom flew away to find a place to transform. Walking back to the Lemon, the ghost boy found his friends, old and new, sitting at the same table with a bunch of drinks. Even with all the destruction, the place seemed comfortable enough to chill.
"I can't believe your plan worked!" Tucker said in amazement.
"Well, I figured if he was on the internet, they'd have his weakness," Caitlin was sporting a small blush. Not in embarrassment, but she was so happy she managed to think of something to help the local hero. "But I can't take all the credit. Nikki here was the one who actually had the guts to do it."
"Eh, it was fun. Plus, that Phantom guy did save my life. I gotta say though, two big fights in two days, gotta respect him for that."
"Here, here!" said everyone except Jen, who noticed someone walking to the table.
"Danny!" the red-head waved.
He waved back to everyone as his girlfriend gestured to the chair next to her. The boy was greeted with a kiss on the cheek before he was asked...
"Where were you?" worry and panic evident in her tone. "We found your friends, but they said you left to call your folks.
"I-called my parent? I mean, yeah, that's what I did. Well, I tried, but
I went straight to voicemail. Still, this was a ghost attack. They'll be here in a few minutes," the ghost boy may not have been convincing in his tone, but the older teens did accept the lie. Well, except for one.
"Seriously? You expect your parent to come running to the mall just because there was a ghost attack?" Wyatt asked, only to get his answer sooner than he thought.
"Nobody move!" came the booming voice of Jack Fenton. "We got the whole place on lockdown!"
Maddie Fenton walked in shortly after with a scanner strapped to her suit. Inspecting every area she could, the ghost hunters moved in tandem looking for anything to catch, dissect, or tear apart molecule by molecule.
Jen and her friends were surprised at how true it was that Danny's parents were ghost fighters or scientist as he also put it. They stared in shock at the orange and blue jumpsuits they wore—particularly Jonesy, who noted how Mrs. Fenton's outfit hugged her body.
"Dude! That's your mom!? She's-"
"Don't even think about finishing that sentence," Nikki covered the boy's mouth as the young ghost boy cringed in disgust. They could both sense the smirk the "Cassanova" wore. However, it wasn't long before his brain then processed the information that his parents were here. At the mall. And would no doubt embarrass him when they saw each other? Luckily everyone noticed, particularly the red-head.
"Come on. Let's get out of here," Caitlin pointed to the directory. "I think there's a movie we can catch right now. Plus, every teen magazine says this is not the time for you to meet your boyfriend's parents."
"Good point," Jen agreed. She held her arm out for the ghost boy, who wrapped his around.
"Thanks, but can we get some coffee real quick? I could still use some caffeine," Danny asked. this earned him a pat on the back from Wyatt. A love of the dark roasted drink would get his respect.
"Sweet! Dragon Thunder is still out," Tucker posed at the mention of the title. "That is...if anyone wants to go."
"Dude! You like Dragon Thunder!? Sweet!" Jude held up his hand. "We've only seen it like ten times."
"My man!" Jonesy did the same as did Wyatt.
"Alright."The boys, sans the ghost boy, high five each other as they walked to the movies.
"Why is it boys seem to make friends with each other faster than girls?" Sam groaned.
"Oh, boys are much simpler than girls," Nikki snarked as she, Caitlin, and Jen, with Danny in her arm, walked in tow. The boyfriend wondered how much of that was true. He never really thought of it like that.
The goth girl hung her head in defeat, for now. For though she respected the teens, her heart was stung every time she saw the ghost boy and the sports girl smile at each other.
This can't last forever. The girl thought.
"Hey, you coming?" the punk girl asked. "I mean, you're still one of Danny's friends, right?"
But they are nice guys. The goth girl now walked with the gang, a small smile graced her face.
As the gang walked away, they didn't notice the figure of Vlad Masters, mayor of Amity Park, who had come over for a press conference concerning the consecutive ghost attacks in the mall. With the media gone, and no one watching, the man gave a small wicked grin as he formulated his next step.
"Enjoy your time, young Daniel."
And now Sam has formally met the cast of 6teen. How will their adventures fair while the gang is in Amity Park? And will Deadpool still goof around with Jonesy? The answers lie within the coming chapters in the fic. Stay tuned for more.
Special Thanks to NeoMark for help with the chapter.
Special Thanks to Luiz4200 with Ghost Syndrome appearing along with a big shout to his story: After Many Dates: Danny and Violet.
Reviews: Actually, as of now, Sam doesn't know it was because of Tucker's insistence. Whether or not she will find out is a mystery.
qazse: Right now there is some respect and a chance. All we can say is how she will act in the future.
DJ Rodriguez: Thanks. Deadpool will keep doing what he's doing, and Sam has a long way to go before she will get over the fact that Danny's dating. Like always.
61394: Vlad had now noticed the teens, but I think he's the kind of guy that would want Danny who be fully awake, and that's not a good thing.
Jebest4781: Thanks!
SonicMax: Interesting point.
Mazamba: I figured it was the logical conclusion of how Sam would react to Jen.
Jay The Average Fanboy: I believe I said my thoughts about the Death Battle on my other TMDDF side story. But I think the facts were accurate. For the people on Death Battle, they would thoroughly check everything, I believe.
Dreams Come True 996: Danny is tougher than he looks, as he demonstrated in this chapter. Jonesy will learn not to be so curious about the boy's dates sooner or later. Right now, Sam and Nikki have some level of respect. But Sam has to be nice still and learn to act better around new people, including Danny's girlfriend, Jen. My other fics are going ok More ideas come. It's just to start them is the main question and then I have to build with each coming chapter.
danifan3000: Finding dirt on people is not consistent with species but personalities. Either way, Jen's clean...or is she?
nightmaster000: Thanks! Don't worry about reviews.
Guest: Thanks! I hope this chapter answers your question about Sam and Nikki.
N2: I will.
