A Plethora of One-Shots: I'm tired of posting my one-shots separately, from now on they will go here.

A Real Reality Trip

By: Sparky the Wonder Weasel

Summary: We all know how Danny's parents and some of his fellow peers reacted to discovering his secret in Reality Trip, but what was going threw the mind of Valerie Grey, as she saw Danny Phantom turn into Danny Fenton?

Thoughts are in Italics.

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom.

A/N: This took me a while to write, so say thankyou!

Danny: I think we got this teamwork thing down! (Skulker lifts Danny and Valerie toward him by the handcuffs)

Valerie: Just in time to get our butts fried!

Skulker: Now, before I destroy you both, I must know what is so valuable about this package!

Valerie: It's not the package that's valuable, it's how you take care of it that counts!

Danny: And dude, you're a horrible mother! (Flour sack farts in Skulker's face)

It was finally the last day of school. Everyone was staring at the clock. Three minutes until the bell would ring. Valerie Grey was one of those eager students anxiously awaiting the end of the school year.

She didn't have the same plans most of her peers did. Valerie had a job, well two jobs actually. She worked part-time at the Nasty Burger, and she hunted ghosts. The former was to save money for collage, and the latter started off as revenge then turned into a kind of self proclaimed duty. Plus it was fun.

'Bringggg'

A stampede of students raced for the doors, all wanting one thing, to see the Dumtpy Humpty concert that was going to happen outside.

Papers flew, teachers sighed, and students laughed as the halls of Casper High slowly became deserted. Valerie decided to go to Dumpty Humpty concert only because she knew Danny would be there.

She really liked Danny Fenton. He was her first true love. Or at least she felt like he was. But she had to break off there relationship before it could really start because she needed to protect him from the notorious ghostboy who reeked havoc in the streets of Amity Park.

Valerie needed to make sure having a relationship with her, would not put Danny at any risk. So the only way she could be Danny's girlfriend was to eliminate any threat to him. This meant destroying the ghostboy.

Valerie sighed as she entered the football field where other students also gathered as they awaited the start of the concert. Her minor excitement was short lived as she heard students scream. She looked up in the sky and saw what the students were screaming at. It was a ghost…of course it was ghost. There was also a man with the ghost. Valerie vaguely recalled seeing him before.

Wait she knew him. His name is Freakshow and he was the ringmaster of the Gothic Circus that came into Amity Park a few months ago. Now she recognized the ghost too. She had seen her on the news. She was glowing green and had many tattoos that seemed to come to life at her will. What on earth were they doing here.

Valerie glanced around at her surroundings, but silently fumed when she saw no place were she could hide and change into her ghost hunting suit. Finally admitting that she could not join in and fight, Valerie watched on as the ghost attacked.

Valerie gaped, mouth open, as she saw Sam Mason and Tucker Foley being carried to the stage by some ghosts. Oh my God, where's Danny? Valerie frantically looked around for her friend, but she didn't see him anywhere. It was almost like he had disappeared.

Soon Valerie saw Danny Phantom, who appeared out of nowhere, and he started fighting Freakshow.

"Ahhh!" Valerie and all the other teens at the Dumpty Humpty concert screamed. A lab belt appeared out of no where and strapped Valerie in. Now alls that Valerie could do was just sit there and watch Phantom fight. By the looks of it, he wasn't winning. He seemed to be fighting for his life, or afterlife. I should help. Valerie struggled against her restraints, but it was no use, the stupid thing would unlatch.

Valerie turned her attention back the fight.

Phantom had just been strung up in a net of some sort when Valerie heard Sam scream "Leave him alone!" And she threw a rather large book at the one called Freakshow. Valerie could see it caused him pain which, in return, pissed him off. Sam has a temper. Wait, why is she helping Phantom? Doesn't she know he's evil?

Then Sam and Tucker dove for something that Freakshow had on his arm. From Valerie's view it looked like a metal claw, which just happened to glow with a supernatural color, and could change forms of reality.

Danny Phantom then joined the struggle of getting the glove off of Freakshow. Valerie thought that Freakshow gave a pretty good attempt at getting the three teens, one which just happened to be a ghost, off of him.

Suddenly the glove, or gauntlet started to glow. Freakshow gave out a cry of victory and said something along the lines that the kids had done his work for him, whatever that meant. Now Valerie was desperately trying to get the stupid belt off. No matter how much she pulled, clawed, or gnawed at it, it wouldn't give way.

Finally she groaned and gave up on it. She turned her attention back onto the fight as the four forms struggled in the sky. Then there was a brilliant flash of light. Then the four plummeted back to earth.

Valerie cringed when she saw Sam and Tucker land with a loud 'THUD' on the stage. Then she saw Freakshow crash. He recovered quickly. Then he and the other ghost fled, dramatically. That was when Valerie finally noticed that everything was slowly turning back to normal. Her lab belt disappeared, the drum set went back to normal, and most of the screaming kids stopped. Valerie was thankful for that. The screaming was starting to give her a major headache.

Then the fourth form that was up in the sky crashed back down to earth in a ball of light. He landed right in the drum set. Ouch. That must've hurt…wait why do I care anyways? He's a stupid ghost! Hey, wait I'm free! I can totally attack him! Valerie smiled, but soon her smile would turn into a frown.

Why? Because Valerie watched the stage as a very weak looking Danny Phantom appeared from the rubble that was once called a drum set. She watched in amazement as two bright, whitish-blue rings appeared around his waist.

On traveled up towards his head, and the other on down towards his feet. Then her amazement turned to horror as she no longer saw his usual black and white jumpsuit, it was being replaced with a white T-shirt and jeans. She looked on as his hair changed from snow white to raven black, his glowing green eyes that used to haunt her changed into the baby blue she got always loving got lost in.

She no longer saw her hated enemy, she saw her first crush, maybe even her first boyfriend. She saw Danny Fenton.

Valerie gasped, along with the entire audience.

"No one saw that right?" She could barely hear him ask. She knew he already had an answer to that question.

Valerie then heard a voice that she knew belonged to Dash Baxter. "Holy sweat socks! Danny Fentrud is Danny Phanturd!"

This can't be possible. Oh man, it must be true. Why can't this be a dream? An imaginary light bulb appeared above Valerie's head. It all makes sense. Everything makes so much sense now. How Fenton was never around when Phantom was. They look so similar. How Danny had gotten all squirmish whenever she mentioned Phantom. Valerie mentally slapped herself for being so foolish.

Valerie's surprise turned into anger. When I get my hands on Danny Fenton I am going to… Her thoughts however were interrupted by The Guys in White, who seemed to appear out of thin air.

"Don't move! We're taking you in for questioning." Guy in White one stated. He had an ecto-gun in hand.

"And test, lots of long painful tests." Guy in White two added.

Valerie saw Danny cringe at those last words. To be honest, Valerie did too. She wouldn't want anyone to do long painful tests on her. Don't hurt him, please don't hurt him. Valerie pleaded. Maybe she was pleading with herself, or maybe she was mentally pleading with the Guys in White. She didn't know, and quite frankly she didn't care. She didn't want to see Danny get hurt by anyone.

Valerie watched on as Danny went ghost and tried to fly away. Valerie had to admit, seeing him change into his ghostly alter-ego was pretty cool. He looks hot in both forms. Valerie blushed.

Valerie cringed for last time she hoped as she saw Danny revert back into his human form and the trio of friends fell to earth…again. They landed with a spine tingling 'THUD'.

"The gauntlet must have messed with my ghost powers." That was Danny's voice. Valerie could tell it apart from everyone. Why hadn't I noticed the similarities sooner?

Valerie gazed at the trio, they all looked scared and panicked. How are they going to get out of there?

"Mosh Pit!" Valerie heard someone yell. Then she saw the bodies of Danny, Sam, and Tucker pass over her head.

"Danny?" She whispered as she saw the look on his face. He was scared, really scared. It was the kind of scared you get when you are walking alone at night in a bad part of town.

Soon Danny was no where to be found, along with Sam, Tucker, Dash, Paulina, Star and Kwan. The stupid Guys in White also disappeared. In a matter of minutes the Dumpty Humpty stage area was completely deserted, leaving Valerie all alone with just her thoughts.

"I'm so stupid. The evidence was right there in front of me." She said aloud. "Why would Danny even come within a millimeter of me? He knew how much I despised his ghost half. Man that's a creepy thought. I went out with a ghost, or part ghost. Why the hell didn't he tell me?" Valerie was growing frustrated.

"I'm sure he had his reasons for not telling me. Heck the way I talked about the ghostboy, if I were him, I wouldn't have told me either. I'm such a jerk. Phanto-Danny had always tried to tell me he was the good guy, that he was sorry for the thing with the ghost dog. He tried to tell me, but I didn't listen." Valerie sighed.

Valerie jumped of the stage that she had previously sat on and was now determined on one goal. She needed to talk to Danny Fenton, or Danny Phantom, which ever one she could find first. She hoped it would be the former, because she knew the latter would try and run from her.

Valerie spent the next several days trying to track down and Danny, Sam and Tucker. She tried the Fenton's but ran out of the house screaming as the house started to attack her. Maybe wearing her new ghost hunting suit to look for Danny wasn't her best idea. What the heck is an 'Anti-Creep mode' anyways? Valerie shuddered at the memory of a cardboard Jack and Maddie Fenton ramming her and sending her tumbling down the stairs. The Fenton's looked so happy doing it too.

Danny had been gone three days now. And in those three days Valerie had seen some pretty strange stuff, and for Valerie to say that it must have been really weird. It turned to night in the middle of the day, her stuffed bear turned into a creepy clown that attacked her and her father's car turned into a clown car. Which seven ugly clowns had gotten out of, did I mention that Valerie was afraid of clowns?

Even though all the creepy stuff, Valerie couldn't get her mind off of Danny. She missed him. She needed to talk to him. She needed answers. I'll accept you no matter what Danny. You are a good guy. I finally see that now. I just wish you would've told me. But I'm ok with all of this. I love you Danny.

Too bad Valerie would never get her answers, because as she was flying over Amity Park, she no longer was searching for Danny Fenton, she was back to hunting Danny Phantom.

Across town Danny Fenton had sent reality to the way it was back before Freakshow had shown his anemic face. Little did he know that Valerie had accepted him.

The End.
