Hey! My name's Kitty! This is my first fanfic so please be nice! Anyways, I have nothing else to say but that I (unfortunately) do not own Danny Phantom otherwise there would be more seasons. :(

Well...hope you enjoy the story!

Chapter 1

"You don't get it do you?! I'm still here, I still exist! That means you still turn into me!"

Danny sat up in bed, drenched in cold sweat. It had been three years since He happened, yet even after all that time the nightmares plagued him as if it were yesterday.

Danny took a few deep breaths and looked over at his alarm clock. 6:52. Well there's no way I'm going back to sleep now. Danny thought.

Danny sat on the side of his bed and stretched his arms above his head. Once he heard the multiple cracks and the slight yet relieving pain of his now popped spine he stood, immediately feeling a slight shock of pain go up through his right foot. Skulker definitely got an upgrade. It should be good-as-new by second period though.

He looked back over at the clock again and sighed before getting up and going to his closet. He never wore anything special, todays outfit was a simple black t-shirt, baggy jeans, and a red hoodie. He brushed his hair before letting it fall into it's natural look and slipped on his combat boots. Sam had given them to him as a birthday present the past year and he liked them and they still fit. Plus, they were from Sam, he wasn't giving them up if she gave them to him; at least, not without a fight, but after everything he's been through nothing short of the end of the world could make him give them up.

He gave one last look at his clock and saw that he had 30 minutes before school started. For a second Danny was a bit thrown off, usually he didn't have this good of luck, especially on a monday. Seriously? What good happens on a monday?

Deciding for once he wasn't going to question he grabbed his backpack and stepped outside his room. Once he did he was hit with a familiar, yet unsettling feeling nagging at the pit of his stomach.

I knew it was too good to be true... Danny though, a scowl on his face. After about years years of ghost hunting, he had learned to trust this feeling, yet he didn't like it. Frostbite had tried to tell him it was a new power, but Danny quickly dispersed the idea saying he had that feeling long before his powers, just it wouldn't show up as much and would mostly ignore it which usually ended up with a kick to the face, sometimes literally.

Danny quickly looked around, but didn't see anything. Knowing not to rope off the feeling just yet he headed down the stairs yet remained vigilant. Once he got downstairs he saw his parents at the table, whether they were fixing an invention or making a new one, Danny didn't want to know, but felt that he was going to soon, either as Phantom or Fenton.

He was prepared to walk out the door when his mother looked up and saw him. "Danny! You're up early!" Maddie said, slightly surprised that he wasn't running out the door again because he slept in.

Danny cringed inwardly and forced a smile on his face before turning turning to face her. "Hey...Mom." He said, his voice sounding slightly strained.

Luckily Maddie didn't notice and continued to talk. "Why are you up so early?"

"I, uh, woke up early and decided to get ready. I was going to see if I could meet up with Sam and the others before school…" Danny mentally cursed at himself for stuttering, yet thanked Clockwork for the cluelessness of his parents as his mother didn't notice it as well.

"Well, alright then! Have a good day sweetie and we'll see you later!"

Danny scrunched his eyebrows together at the last part. When she said that, it looked as if she could barely contain her excitement. Over what, he wasn't sure, but looked over at the clock on the stove and saw he had 20 minutes to get to school. "Well, I'm going to go now, but I'll see you later...I guess…" He mumbled the last part so she wouldn't hear. Not waiting for a response he turned and walked out the door.

Despite it being late May, there was still a cool breeze in the air which helped pick Danny's mood up. He readjusted the backpack on his shoulder and set off in the direction of the school.

Now, if the nagging feeling wasn't already bad, it was definitely bad now. Danny could understand if the feeling was from a ghost like Skulker or Technus, hell, even the Box Ghost, but today there was nothing. This caused the feeling to increase, never had the ghost given him a break, the idea of one seemed foreign to Danny's mind.

Before he realized it he was at his school, Casper High, and spotted his friends underneath a large tree at the very edge of the courtyard. He smirked when he realized they had not seen him yet and ducked behind a large bush before turning invisible and intangible and going underground.

As soon as he did this a light green cloud of gas flew out of Sam's mouth which Tucker and Valerie saw and instantly reached for their respective weapons.

"Can you tell who it is Sam?" Tucker asked, PDA in hand.

Sam shook her head. "No, Danny's better at that than I am, but their powerful, level 8 or higher I think." Sam said with a calculating look.

Valerie's eyes went wide. "Level 8? You sure? There aren't many ghost above level 8, even you and Dani aren't there yet."

Sam rolled her eyes, "Yeah, thanks for reminding me. And yes I'm sure. It's not a new ghost either, it's familiar I just can't tell from wher-" Before she could finish, Danny stuck his, now visible, head through the ground right in front of them causing them to jump back a bit in surprise.

"God damn it Danny!" Sam half-yelled at him once she regulated her breathing. "The hell was that for?!"

Danny chuckled before making sure no one was looking and brought the rest of his body back from under the ground and sitting down on the grass.

"Dude, that was NOT FUNNY." Tucker wheezed, still clutching his PDA, Sharon, to his chest.

"Okay, maybe not for you, but for me it definitely helped with my day." Danny said. Sam didn't even half to look at Danny to feel the emotions radiating off of him. Tucker and Val were able to see the same feelings in his eyes and knew exactly what he meant. Sam placed a hand on Danny's and gave it a soft squeeze along with a comforting smile, in which he returned to her.

"Well, that aside," Tucker broke it, quickly changing the subject, "You're still early for once. What? No ghost or something?"

Danny pressed his lips together. "Apparently not, which is weird since they always are trying to attack. Not even the Box Ghost showed up this morning despite him making an appearance three times last night. On top of that, the nagging feeling has come back and has yet to go away." The three looked at him knowing what he was saying by 'the feeling.' It was the accursed feeling that they always dreaded and hated when it showed up, putting them on more high alert than they already were.

"Well that's Mondays for ya." Valerie cut in.

Danny gave a small chuckle and nodded.

Seeing as Danny was better now, and they still had five minutes before class, they leaned back onto the tree, giving space for Danny to lounge with them. It was rare for them to have relaxing moments like this in the human realm, but when they did they savored it.

As they were doing this, Danny looked at his friends, taking in how everything was so different from when they started out. He glanced over at Val, looking at her dark, curly, shoulder length hair and remembered how it was so much longer when they met. He saw the orange clip in her hair that, if needed, could be used as a throwing knife. She had on a dark red, slightly baggy, long sleeved shirt, a light red belt which had a retractable bo-staff and a small ecto pistole. She had on light beige, baggy jeans (yet not as much as Danny's), and her own pair of steel toed, black combat boots which had a small knife that could shoot out from the heel of the boot. He saw a dark red bracelet on her wrist which could expand into her suit when she needed it.

Casting his glance to Tucker now, he took in his features now. The brown-skinned, meat loving, techno-geek on his right side still had his red beret, yet now one could see a bit of his hair sticking out of it. He still had his glasses as well, but had added a new feature to them to where they could link up the the web from anywhere, even the ghost zone. He had on a baggy, yellow turtleneck and for the moment had rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, exposing a bit of muscle from the ghost fighting the four did on a regular basis, along with a few scars. He had on brown cargo pants in which Danny knew were full of different types of technology, ranging from flash drives to microchips. He also had on a pair of combat boots, steel toes and all, yet instead of a knife in the heel, it had an electrocution chip. Danny remembered when Tuck had first gotten them and had stepped on Danny's foot causing Tuck to accidentally electrocute him a bit, in which Danny 'accidentally' knock him out. In Tuck's hand he had his trusty PDA which was currently holding the record of being the longest lasting PDA of three months. They kind of hoped it stayed that way, but still playfully threatened him with it if needed...or wanted.

It was at this Danny final let his gaze fall upon Sam. Despite what was said earlier, Sam was no longer a 'friend.' Halfway through sophomore year had he finally asked her out in which Tucker then got about $5,000 from the bets he made which earned him a visit from her own boots. As of late, Sam had started letting her hair grow out and stopped straightening it, causing the onyx locks to fall in a wavy pattern down to her shoulder blades. She had on a dark purple, baggy shirt that went to her elbows and black cargo pants, obviously still going with her gothic look. She had on black, fingerless gloves that ended at her elbows like her shirt did. her eyes were lined with a thin line of eyeliner and had some black eyeshadow and lipstick (all of which were environmentally friendly and were not tested on animals) but otherwise wore no other makeup. He could see the ice crystal that he had made for her after the battle with Undergrowth that she had put on a chain to wear.

Speaking of Undergrowth, it was sometime afterwards (late freshman year they believe) that they realized Sam had ghost powers of her own. She had been in her greenhouse planting a tree sapling when it started to grow at her touch. Ever since then, Danny had been training her and she was now a solid 7 on the power scale with Danny being a 9 or something (no one could keep up). She had soon gotten her own suit and became Sam Phantom (Thank Clockwork for the town's obliviousness). As one can imagine, many of Danny's fan girls were upset by this, yet quickly warmed up to Sam, even though some still think she stole Danny from them (*cough* Paulina *cough*).

Sam, who was sitting to his left, was resting her head on Danny's shoulder, her left hand holding Danny's left hand as her right traced a pattern on Danny's lower right shoulder. He noticed that she was tracing the tattoo he had there. The tattoo covered Danny's entire back, the design being ghostly, green flames with different things scattered in them which represented his friends and his family; well, what he felt to be his family. He had a black rose for Sam, a strip of binary code for Tuck, an ecto gun for Val, and so on. In the middle of his back there were a set of eyes, more specifically his own with one being his baby blue and the other being neon green. Danny was sure to give the man who gave it to him a good tip.

He then saw his classmates begin to walk into the school, signalling that their five minutes were up. The rest of the gang noticed this too so they collectively stood up and grabbed their respective bags then headed inside.

They soon arrived in their homeroom, which they thankfully had together, and sat down at the back of the class before aimlessly chatting about random things before the bell rang. Once it did, Mr. Lancer walked into the room and upon seeing that Danny was in class, on time, for once made him do a double take, which the four caught and secretly laughed about, before composing himself and walking to the front of the room to begin class. When he just stood there, not saying anything, it confused the four slightly and even more so when he didn't go to write anything on the board. He stood up there for about a minute before the rest of the class seemed to notice him and began to quiet down and turn to their teacher.

Lancer smiled. "Thank you. Now class, today we are going to be doing something different. Instead of jumping straight into work I instead have an announcement to make." It was only then when Danny heard the faint beeping of the ghost detector which Sam heard too thanks to the hyper-sensitive hearing. Only when the beeping sounded from right outside the door did the rest of the class hear it. Danny felt the nagging feeling growing again.

"Two ghost located ahead." Came a robotic voice of a woman, followed by the door bursting open revealing Maddie and Jack Fenton.

"DON'T WORRY KIDS WE'LL SAVE YOU FROM THE GHOSTS!" Jack bellowed, which made Sam and Danny cover their ears.

'Two ghost located dead ahead. You must be blind not to notice the two ghost in front of you." Said the voice. The two ghost hunters looked up to see Danny and Sam blushing bright red, in which the two though was from embarrassment which was only the half of it.

"Ah great, Maddie the Fenton Ghost Finder is still targeting Danny and Sam." Jack said to his wife.

Maddie sighed and turned off the device and pocketing it. She turned to the class and gave a sweet smile. "Good morning students! Now, I'm sure you all wondering what my husband and I are doing here," She said, cutting right to the chase. "We're here to talk about a field trip!"

As soon as she said this only one though went through Danny's head. You can't be serious. Please don't say what I think you're going to say. For the love of Clockwork-

"That's right class!" The rest of the students perked up, now on the edge of their chairs, hanging on to every word their teacher said. "We are taking a field trip to the ghost zone!" And cue Danny banging his head on his desk.

Yep, Danny really hated Mondays.
