Weakness
Prologue:
An almost unnatural, but welcome calm had settled over Amity Park as the windless afternoon slowly faded to dusk, washing the streets in a beautiful amber color.
Samantha Manson sighed as she watched the sunset through the large glass window of the Karate place she and her friends had come to. Of course, she wouldn't admit this to anyone, but sunset was her favorite time of day. Not only did it signal the oncoming night that she felt most comfortable in, but it seemed to wrap everything that had happened that day in a nice package, and lock it away. It was like starting over again, in the most beautiful way possible. And despite what she told everyone around her, she really did love the colors.
After staring contentedly for several minutes, she pulled up the sleeve of her purple Gi, held together by a white belt, and checked her watch. Then she rolled her eyes and stalked up to the door at the back of the room with a "Boys" sign on it, and yelled loudly:
"Come on guys! It didn't even take ME this long to get ready!"
Before she'd even finished her sentence, a boy with fairly short, raven hair walked out with an apologetic look on his face.
"Sorry, Sam," he shrugged, "But I can't get Tuck to come out. Oh, and thanks for paying for the lessons by the way."
She shrugged and stepped past him so she stood in the now open doorway. "Consider it an early birthday present. Tucker!" She yelled again, "If you don't come out, I'm coming in…" She let the threat hang in the air, awaiting a response.
"You'd only like it if Danny were in here too!" A voice met her tone defiantly.
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" both of the teens at the door hollered.
"Fine," an African-American boy with a red beret stepped cautiously into view. "I take it back."
Sam lowered the fists she had inadvertently raised. "Good," she responded with a tight-lipped expression.
"Remind me why I'm here again?" The third member of their group joined them and they proceeded to one of the unoccupied corners of the classroom. "Danny's the super-hero." He shot a glance at the raven-haired boy, who returned the icy glare.
"We're here to support him," Sam said matter-of-factly, and turned to lean against the wall, crossing her arms to signify her now grumpy mood.
"That doesn't mean I have to like it," Tucker growled, holding out the corner of his white Gi like it had suddenly turned into something dead and rotting.
Danny simply sighed. "Tucker, you don't look any worse than I do on patrol."
"Thanks for the reassuring comment," Tucker responded dryly.
"Yeah, I—wait," Danny's look darkened. "Are you saying—" Fortunately for Tucker, a woman stepped from a side door, and walked to the front of the room. Most of the children that had been scattered around the room looked up as she asked everyone to line up.
She introduced herself as the usual teacher (with a name that Danny couldn't even remember, let alone pronounce), and bowed to them, instructing the students to bow back.
Danny took the opportunity to look around, and realized that they were the oldest people in the group…not only that, but most of the other kids probably hadn't graduated from elementary. He suddenly felt very awkward. Having the kid next to him--a freckle-faced, large boned boy with very large, menacing teeth that showed when he grinned--glare at him with a look that stated "you're lunch!" did not help.
"Did you hear that?" Tucker asked Danny who blinked and looked toward the front of the classroom only to see the teacher walk to the side.
"No, what happened?" Danny asked, a little embarrassed.
"She said that one of the older students would teach us today," he looked expectantly towards the door. Danny and Sam both followed suit, only to have their faces suddenly twist into horror as a large, blond boy walked out, and bowed to the teacher, and then walk to the front of the class.
"Tell me this isn't happening," Danny whispered in a pleading voice.
Sam sighed. "It is."
"What's Dash doing here?" Tucker hissed to both of them. The boy bowed to the class, and then noticed the three in the back.
"Fenton?" he suddenly smiled wickedly. "This is gonna be fun." Danny and Tucker exchanged glances with Sam, dreading what was to come.
Credits:
Yo, Danny Fenton he was just 14,
When his parents built a very strange machine.
It was designed to view a world unseen.
He's gonna catch 'em all, 'cause he's Danny Phantom
When it didn't quite work, his folks, they just quit.
But then Danny took a look inside of it.
There was a great big flash, everything just changed,
His molecules got all rearranged.
When he first woke up, he realized
He had snowy white hair, and glowy green eyes
He could walk through walls, disappear and fly
He was much more unique than the other guy
And it was then that he knew what he had to do,
He had to catch all the ghosts that were coming through.
He's here to fight for ME and YOU!
He's gonna catch 'em all, 'cause he's Danny Phantom.
He's gonna catch 'em all, 'cause he's Danny Phantom.
He's gonna catch 'em all, 'cause he's Danny Phantom.
