A Boo York Minute

Hang on...

*dials phone*

"Hello?..."The voice on the other side asked.

Hey, FP? Question, that contractor you said does work pretty well? Can I get his number?

"Sure, but why?..."FP11 asked.

Let's just say... *sees hole* Kinda tired of stray cats and flies entering my room. And it's unbearable thanks to this heat wave...

"I'm texting it to ya..."FP11 said as she typed the number to her friend.

Thanks…. *Hangs up* I swear if it weren't for his healing I'd- uh… anyway!

After several minutes of walking, Gwen noticed the entrance to the subway. After seeing the boy in the red jacket Danny encountered earlier, she got to thinking.

I was so looking forward to the two of us just having a little time to ourselves, but we barely got that thanks to bad guys, past dates and that… guy. Pool Guy or whatever… She thought with some annoyance.

While she and Danny had unique powers, she didn't deny she preferred having at least one normal date with him. The last one was interrupted thanks to Plasmius. Her hopes of alone time with him today was ruined once more today, even though they were looking for the odd energy source.

Even though it was a bit late, she decided it was no harm if she took a quick ride for a little alone time. Besides, she could take care of herself.

The sooner we should have found that thing, the better... She thought to herself.

Once there was no one else in the train car, she spoke up.

"I know you're here… I'm better at sensing your energy…" Gwen said.

Danny Fenton turned visible, sitting next to her.

"Hey… sorry, but I wanted to make sure you're okay…" Danny said.

Gwen sighed.

"Glad you care so much…" She said.

"What's wrong?" Danny asked.

"I was really looking forward to just spending some time without our lives being in danger. I know we came for that weird gem thing, but I was hoping for more alone time together." Gwen said.

"Well… we're alone now." Danny pointed out.

That got Gwen to smile a little.

"Okay… soon as we reach the last stop." Gwen said.

Danny smiled.

''Okay..."

Gwen took a breath.

"Maybe we can get one of those Coney dogs or something."

"As long as it's just us, I'm fine with it." Danny said as he took her hand.

"Okay…"

The train stopped.

"Okay, here we go." Danny said.

Gwen immediately sensed something and stopped Danny from getting up.

"Wait… I sense something…" Gwen said. "Powerful magic…" She whispered in a warning.

"What?" Danny asked.

"Turn us invisible so that we can see without alerting them." Gwen ordered.

Danny nodded, taking her hand and doing so.

Once they were invisible, they remained quiet as they waited for whatever magical thing to arrive.

That's when three figures came walking into the train car, one Danny recognized.

Isn't that the kid from earlier? And… He took notice of another. Is that dog on his hind legs?

"Coast is clear." The dog said.

"Been wanting to stretch my wings, Fu." Jake said. "Dragon Up!"

Suddenly, to Danny and Gwen's surprise, he turned into a large, red dragon.

If they could see each other, they'd see their jaws dropped.

They just felt the train car lift up as if on an elevator and, once it stopped, the doors opened.

"What just happened?" Danny asked out loud, alerting everyone to his presence.

"Uh oh…" Gwen said.

The dragon narrowed his eyes, as did his companions.

''Who's there? Show yourself!" The dragon demanded. "Fu? Gramps?"

"I heard it too, Kid." Fu said.

"From that seat!" The old man said.

Danny turned himself and Gwen visible as both got up, on the defensive.

"Yo, you're that kid from earlier!" Jake recognized Danny before grabbing him by the collar and hoisting him up. "You been followin' me?" He asked accusingly.

Danny responded with a glare and a shout.

"Goin' Ghost!" Danny morphed, much to Jake's surprise. Danny then used his ghost rays to push Jake off. "Back off!"

Jake, Fu, and the old man, gasped at the sight of this.

"What the heck?!" Jake went.

Gwen's fists glowed pink.

"What are you?"

The old man instantly turned into a serpentine blue dragon.

"Remain where you are!" He shouted.

''Another one!" Danny said in disbelief of another dragon.

''Ya got that right…" Jake said.

Jake instantly tackled Danny out the door.

Before Lao Shi and Fu could do anything, Gwen fired a beam that encased the two in a bubble.

"Stop!" She shouted. "Who are you two and what's going on?"

Outside, Danny and Jake tumbled before the two got up and held a stance.

"Step off, Phantom Punk!" Jake went.

He fired his dragon breath, making Danny block the flames with his ghost shield.

"You back off, Dragon Dork!" Danny shouted as he fired a ghost ray, which sent Jake down.

''Okay, no more Mr. Nice Guy..." Jake said as he charged at him.

Both of them resumed their fight, now in the air.

Danny managed to land a punch.

Before he could do anything else, it's only now Danny noticed his surroundings.

Namely, that there are fairies, ogres, gnomes and other magical creatures.

"What the-"

"Danny!" A Minnie Mouse-esque shriek went.

Danny flinched.

"Huh? That voice? Was that-"

Suddenly, a ghostly girl wrapped her arms around Danny.

"Oh, Danny! I've missed you so much!" The ghost said as she nuzzled her cheek into his.

"Phantasma?!" Danny went.

Jake paused, blinking at the sight of this.

"Huh?" He was confused.

"Uh… yeah… wasn't expecting this either…" Danny explained.

"Girls!" Phantasma shouted to the ground. "Come on, Danny."

She pulled Danny by the arm.

"Whoa! Phanty! Wait!"

Danny was pulled against his will to the ground.

Jake blinked before shrugging and followed.

Phantasma landed on the ground, where Danny was surprised to see a werewolf, a mummy, a Frankenstein-kind of monster, and a vampire, one doing bedroom eyes at him.

"Girls! This is Danny!" Phantasma said.

"Ooh… how Fang-tastic! He's cuter then I thought!" The vampire said.

"So, he's the guy?" The Frankenstein said.

"Hoooow's it going?" The werewolf said.

"Phanty talks about you a lot!" The mummy went.

"Oh… uh…" Danny went before he's pulled by the shoulders. "Whoa!"

"Danny!" Another ghost he knew went.

"Wait… Spectra?" He asked before hugged by her.

"I didn't think I'd see you here! I was on a trip to Boo York with some friends." She said happily.

"Boo York?" Danny asked.

However, he's pulled by the arm by Phantasma.

"Back off, he's mine!" She went.

Spectra scowled and pulled Danny by the other arm.

"No, he's mine!" Spectra went.

The two girls did their tug of war as Danny looked miserable at Jake, who was still clueless to what's going on.

"Is it too late for you to try clawing my eyes out again?" Danny asked.

"Mine!"

"Mine!"

"No! Mine!" Gwen's voice shouted as she sent her mana to create a dome surrounding Danny, blocking the ghosts.

Danny sighed in relief.

"Thanks, Gwen…"

Both ghost girls looked the redhead who did that, Phantasma looking the most angered.

"Who's this?"

"Gwen Tennyson… his girlfriend." She said sharply.

Spectra looked very apologetic and inched away.

"Oh dear… I'm sorry." She said.

Phantasma scowled and turned away, crossing her arms.

"I'm cuter…" She said with jealousy. "Sibella, what do you think?"

Sibella, the vampire, shared her jealous look.

"I've seen cuter…" She said.

Danny sighed in relief and, figuring it was safe to, morphed to human form.

"That's a relief…"

Jake blinked and morphed to human form.

"So… uh… what was all that about?"

After 10 minutes, Danny and Gwen explained who they are to Jake, his grandfather and Fu Dog, all the while the Grimwood Girls and Spectra present and watching.

"Got it… you're the American Dragon." Danny said.

"And you're this Danny Phantom." Jake said.

Both nodded and smiled.

"Cool."

"So… uh… what's all this?" Gwen asked, motioning to their environment.

"This is Magus' Bazaar." Fu explained. "Where the magical community hides from humans, along with our own little places."

"Like Boo York." Spectra said. "I should go see my friends… sorry… again…"

"It's okay, no harm done...right, Gwen?" Danny said.

Gwen sent her a frown, still peeved over earlier but sighed.

"Well… you did apparently help his cousin, so I guess I can forgive you." Gwen said.

Spectra nodded.

"Anyway, I should go now. Bye Danny..." Spectra waved before leaving, looking bummed.

Once Spectra left, Sibella inched to Danny, smiling at him.

"So… I'm Sibella Dracula." She said flirtingly.

"Oh… uh… I'm-"

"Off limits." Gwen said with a look of warning, making Sibella inch back.

"Oh… heh… of course…"

As the vampire backed off, Phanty still crossed her arms in jealousy.

"Good riddance to that wallflower, at least."

"You know Spectra?" Danny asked.

"She and I usually attend the same Chainsgiving feast and she is just jealous because I always beat her at the Scare games..." Phanty said.

Jake, sensing the tension and pitying Danny, decided to change the subject.

"So… you guys want a tour guide around here?" Jake asked. "I got nothing to do now that Fu's got ingredients."

"Oh, for a spell?" Gwen asked.

"It's a growth spell… I'm gonna grow a Sloppy Joe to the size of a tour bus." Fu said proudly.

Danny and Gwen shrugged.

"Sure, why not?"

"Whoa…" Gwen said.

It was a vast city, much like New York itself, however it was crawling with monsters of all kinds, who were going on with their daily lives.

"It's like New York, only on Halloween." Danny said.

"I don't really go that far outside of Magus Bazaar, but I've been here a few times to know a few key places." Jake said. "So… you two hungry? They got hot dog vendors here too."

Gwen shrugged.

"Sure thing."

"I'm in..." He said.

Jake goth them two hot dogs.

Both of them took bites. Although Danny did enjoy the taste, Gwen felt unsure.

"Uh… what are these made of? I mean… compared to hot dogs made by humans?" She asked.

"I don't think you'll want to know…" Jake said.

Danny then recalled his dates with Phanty and Spectra and looked uneasy.

He chose to keep eating and not ask questions, deciding he did not want to know either.

"If I start to feel sick, get me to a hospital." Danny said.

Gwen took a bite and shrugged.

"Eh… less gross than what Grandpa Max serves. Actually, I think he'd love these…" Gwen said.

Danny notices someone leaving a store and smiled.

"Is that… Sabrina?"

Gwen sighed, much to Jake's surprise.

"Let me guess… another blind date?" She asked.

"Yeah…" He said.

Sabrina saw who spotted her and smiled.

"Danny?" She asked before walking towards him. "Hey!"

Danny waved to her as she approached.

"How've you been?"

"Not bad. Came here to get supplies for a class." She notices Gwen and smiled. "Let me guess? Dating service?"

"Gwen Tennyson, his pick." She said.

"Sabrina Spellman." She said with her hand out.

Gwen, seeing it, smiled and lightened up as she took the hand.

Well… at least she's not those two grabby ghosts. She thought.

Jake only blinked at this.

"Yo, Sabrina?" Jake asked.

Once she finished shaking hands with Gwen, she smiled.

"Jake?"

"You know each other?" Danny asked.

"Same dating service…" They explained in unison.

"Small world…" Gwen said.

"She was my pick, but never got a response." Jake said.

"That's because… he was my pick." She said nervously, pointing at Danny.

"Of course…" Gwen muttered with an eye roll, realizing those two ghosts picked him as well.

Danny shrugged nervously, but Jake laughed it off.

"It's cool… my old girlfriend and I are together again." Jake explained.

''And Harvey dumped Gem and I think he might ask me out soon." Sabrina said.

"He will, I know from experience you're awesome." Danny said and Jake nodded. "Jake and I are proof of that."

Gwen heard this but did not express jealousy.

She figured Danny was being polite.

"Yo! Danny!" A voice came from above.

They looked up and, to the surprise of everyone but Danny, they were two fairies.

"Whoa…" Jake said, noticing how tall, attractive and revealing they were.

Gwen and Sabrina pouted in jealousy.

One was a redhead in blue, the other was one who looked Asian in appearance.

Danny smiled.

"Musa?"

''Another blind date?" Gwen asked.

"Yeah..." Danny answered.

"Of course..." She muttered as the two fairies landed.

"Uh… which one?" Sabrina said.

"This one." Danny pointed to Musa. "Who's your friend?" Danny asked, sending the other redhead a smile.

Despite her relationship status, Bloom smiled and blushed.

"This is Bloom, a good friend."

"Hi." Bloom said, blushing a bit as she grinned at Danny.

''It's nice to meet you, Musa told me a lot about you..." Danny said.

"Likewise..." Bloom said.

Musa blushed at that.

"In confidence…" Musa whispered.

"Oh… sorry…"

It was then that she noticed Gwen, who looked jealous despite sensing nothing to suggest Danny is still interested in her, much less that attracted to her friend.

"Let me guess...she's your pick..." Musa said.

Danny nodded.

"This is my girlfriend, Gwen Tennyson. Gwen, this is Musa..." Danny said.

"Hello..." Gwen said in an even tone.

Musa quickly hugged her.

"Rocking!" She let go. "Nice meeting you."

"Oh… uh… thanks."

Gwen, despite her jealousy, smiled at how nice Musa was being to her.

It was clear Musa wasn't a sore loser.

"So, what brings you guys here?..."Musa asked.

"Long story short… a little incident- oh, by the way, everyone here so far knows my secret, right?" Danny asked.

"Everyone but Bloom… that I left out." Musa said.

"Secret?" Bloom asked. "Also, what are you doing here? I thought only magical people come here."

Danny sighed.

"Well… you're Musa's friend and you seem really nice, so I'll share. I'm Danny Phantom."

Bloom blinked.

"Huh?"

"He said he's Danny Phantom." Gwen repeated.

It took Bloom a moment to register before she gasped.

"That cute superhero from Amity Park?"

Danny blinked.

"Cute?"

Meanwhile, another teen hero was feeling awkward.

Jake had his head turned way, his face turning red, and not because of his dragon powers.

Sabrina noticed this.

"You okay, Jake?"

"I have a girlfriend… I have a girlfriend… I have a girlfriend…" He said to try and ignore the two taller girls and how they're dressed.

"Long story short there, we had to deal with villains we both deal with." Gwen finished the explanation as Jake was trying not to stare.

"Cool." Bloom said. "We're here to collect some stuff for a class."

''Anyway, we gotta go meet up with the girls, it was nice seeing you again Danny..." Musa said.

"Same here..." Danny said. "Pleasure meeting you, Bloom."

"Same." She said.

"And Gwen? If Danny picked you, then you're cool in my books." Musa said.

"Oh, uh… thanks." Gwen said, feeling silly at how jealous she was earlier.

Soon the two fairies bid adieu and flew off.

Once they were far enough, Bloom whispered to her friend.

"Ooh… you were right, Musa." Bloom said with a wink. "He is cute… a shame but I can respect his choice in redheads…"

"Shut up!" Musa said with a laugh as they flew away.

Once they flew away, Sabrina giggled.

"Well… I better get going." She said as walked away. "I guess I'll see you all later." Sabrina said.

"Okay… bye." Danny went.

"Laters." Jake waved to her.

"Nice meeting you." Gwen said politely.

"Nice meeting you too." Sabrina said as she walked away.

Once she was gone, the three were encountered by some familiar faces walking towards them.

"Danny!" Phantasma went with a smile before seeing Gwen and frowning. "Oh… and the girlfriend."

"Yes… the girlfriend." Gwen said flatly.

''Phanty..." Elsa chided and the ghoul looked away.

Danny saw this and sighed.

"Hey girls..." He said, while Gwen still looked annoyed.

"We were going to ask if you wanted to get a bite to eat..." Phanty said, while she and Gwen exchanged dirty looks.

"Gwen and I already ate..." Danny said gently.

"Yes and we're not hungry anymore... so I'm afraid the answer is no." Gwen said with some edge.

Phanty glared at her and would have done something, only for her friends to get in the way.

"We should probably get going…" Elsa said.

"Yeah… it's not nice to pick a fight with his girlfriend." Tanis said.

"Not C-WOOOOO-L!" Winnie went.

Phanty said nothing to them. She sent another dirty look to Gwen, before sending a sweet one to Danny.

"Alright, bye-bye Danny. We should meet again..." Phanty said sweetly, ignoring the glare Gwen sent her.

"Uh… sure…" Danny responded, unsure how to process that.

As the Grimwood girls leave, Sibella looked over her should and smiled at the clueless ghost boy.

"Fang-tastic…" She whispered.

Gwen cleared her throat.

"Let's… walk a little more, if that's okay?"

As Gwen walked forward, Danny was behind her with Jake, whispering to him.

"Where is your girlfriend, by the way?" Danny asked.

"In Hong Kong. Her name is Rose." Jake said.

"What's she like?" Danny asked.

"Like Gwen. Tall and cool."

"Is she a year older than you too?" Danny asked.

Jake looked surprised.

"She's older than you?" Jake asked.

''Yeah..." Danny said like it is no big deal.

Jake still looked surprised.

"Wow, how you managed to score a girl who is older and a straight A student?" Jake asked, sounding impressed.

"I guess I just made a good impression?" Danny answered. "Though, to be honest, that kind of scares me."

"How so?"

"Because she's older than me, sometimes I'm worried that… she might lose interest in me. I mean, the fact we've been together this long is lucky."

Jake heard that and decided to give his opinion on the matter.

"If it was luck, I don't think you two would be here together."

''Huh?" Danny asked.

'Take it from a guy who has a girlfriend who used to hunt dragons because she was indoctrinated into an evil clan and later had her lose all memory of me to return to her real family. If this is the real deal, Gwen isn't going to lose interest because you're younger..." Jake said.

Danny was stunned and did not know how to respond to that.

Just then, Gwen called to them.

"Well… I think I'm ready to get going." Gwen said.

''Me too..."Danny said.

"I'll walk you guys to the station." Jake said as he changed into his dragon form.

Danny changed forms and picked Gwen bridal style.

They soon took to the skies, following Jake to the train station.

Once there, they changed back to their base forms.

"Thanks Jake..." Danny said.

"Yes, thank you..." Gwen said.

"No prob. Also, no hard feelings about earlier..." Jake said, referring to their misunderstanding.

"It's cool." Danny said.

"Yeah..."Gwen agreed.

"Jake!" His grandfather called out as he arrived. "I see you are showing them out."

"Are you two gonna fight again or what?" Fu asked.

"Nah… we're cool." Jake said.

"Aww… I was gonna bet 20 biscuits on ya…" Fu went.

Lao Shi frowned at Fu saying that before clearing his throat.

"Apologies for what happened earlier." He said to the two.

"It's okay." Gwen said.

"Well… we better go." Danny said.

"You take care, ya hear?" Jake said.

"You too." Danny responded.

Jake smiled before waving goodbye.

Once he and his companions were gone, Danny noticed the expression on Gwen's face.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"I'm fine..." Gwen said in a low tone.

Danny did not believe her.

"Gwen..." Danny said, pressing on.

She sighed.

"I know we came for that… thing that Pool Guy took with him, but I was really hoping for a little alone time together. I thought some alone time here would help, but if I have to be honest… I was kind of hoping for at least one date of normalcy, without monsters or bad guys involved..."Gwen said, looking down.

Danny heard this and felt guilt.

"Gwen… I promise, you and I are going to have a normal date." Danny said.

"You don't have to…" She said, assuring.

"I want to." He said.

She smiled.

"Okay…"

"Come on, Ben and Kevin can't keep Danielle entertained for long… seeing as there's hardly any snacks on that ship of yours." Danny said.

Gwen chuckled.

"Yeah… that's true. She could give Ben's alien form Upchuck a run for his money…"

Okay... my wall's fixed thanks to that phone call.

Anyway, 4 more past dates encountered. Counting Gwen, 12 of the 30 have been featured.

Next time is when we see the normal girls.
