Okay, erm hello everyone. The other day I was reading through this story and I thought, wow this is kind of crappy. So I am currently in the process of trying to edit this story in hopes of correcting any errors, and in hopes of making the chapters a little longer and more descriptive.
Anyways in regards to this chapter, I noticed that some of the things were not all that natural, in the way of how people usually act. So here are some points I am going to lay out to try and clear the confusion up. Firstly the story is now going to start in Antarctic, after all the other ghosts leave and Danny reveals himself. Secondly most of the characters will hate Danny, I mean come on they spent however long trying to hunt him down. His parents actually said they wanted to take him apart molecule by molecule, they wouldn't just forget all that because it's someone they know. They would probably think it was a trick of some sort and then try and capture Danny.
Well I feel as though that is enough to say, so on with the story.
Chapter One: The Reactions
"Daniel, sweetheart, is there something you wanted to tell us?" Madeleine Fenton asked her son while watching the large group of ghosts leaves her world through a portal. She still couldn't believe they agreed to help the humans out, but it was all thanks to this one boy. The only reason she had yet to attack the ghost was because her daughter had told her not to, she was told to address this boy as her son. But her son had died in an almost horrific crash; she had seen it with her own eyes. So why was she supposed to disrespect his memory for this...this thing, slowly she moved towards her husband, but also moved forward implying she was going to give the boy comfort.
"I don't know mum, it's kinda private. Maybe I can just talk to you and dad, and then go on and tell everyone else." The ghost boy known as Danny Phantom said. He wasn't as dumb as most people would think, he could see his mother and everyone else was tense, he knew they probably didn't trust him. All he could do was hope he could first tell his parents, and that they would support him. That way when everyone else found out he would have more support.
"I'm sure whatever it is, it's something you can tell everyone son." His father, Jack Fenton, exclaimed. He was oblivious to the tense feeling surrounding the others, he wanted to go home and console his wife and daughter as they had just lost their son and brother.
"Well, if you're all sure about this." Danny said while looking around at the now large group surrounding him. He could see his childhood bully, and two of his now ex-crushes. But he also saw his sister and his two best friends, the four of them had been through so much he was sure they would back him on this. "Here, we go." With those three words Danny Phantom once again became Danny Fenton, the 15 year old boy who wanted to become an astronaut, but spent most of his time saving his town instead of studying. He heard a collective gasp from the group and then turned once more to his parents. Hoping to see acceptance and maybe smiles from his parents he was slightly shocked to see disgust and hatred plainly written instead.
"Yo-you are not my son; you are just a vile imitation tainting his memory. I can't believe I actually agreed to talk with you." Maddie spat, she knew this would end badly but her daughter seemed so convinced there was the chance that this creature was her son. "I watched him die, so why did you think it would be a good idea to pretend you were him? Hmmm, TELL ME!"
Danny had no way to console his hysterical mother, and his father was no longer looking at him. He was at a loss, what was he supposed to do. He turned to his friends hoping they could support him on this; tell his parents he was their son but they weren't looking at him either. Falling to his knees he felt something he hadn't felt I a long time, he felt alone and that scared him. "S-Sam, Tucker aren't you guys going to say anything. Aren't you on my side?"
"Are you kidding me, why should we help some freak like you? For the past year we've been running around Amity Park "helping" you fight ghosts. But every time something gets destroyed, you leave and we have to take the blame for it. Now, if you leave us alone we can focus o things that really matter, like our futures. I don't know about Tucker, but I am done with you Danny Phantom." Samantha Manson told her so called best friend. After saying this she looked over at her other friend Tucker Foley expecting him to agree with her. But he just looked lost and sad, she was pretty she heard he whisper, "I'm sorry" to Danny. Turning away she looked at the other people in the group as they had yet to state their opinions.
"Ahahahaha, wow Phanturd, now you're even more of a freak. Here we thought you were this nice guy but you've just crushed almost everyone's dreams. Way to go."
"I can't believe I thought I loved you."
"We trusted you, Phantom why did you have to ruin it with this...this prank."
Danny listened to each and every one of the comments, each one hurting a little more than the last. But he noticed something; he never heard his sister's voice. Was she so disgusted by him, she had to leave. No it couldn't be that she had already told him she was proud to be his sister. So where was she? Looking around a couple more times, but still having no strength to get off of his knees, he spotted her. She was coming back outside with almost a look of regret on her face. What could she have done to gain that look, wait why was she approaching him. He thought he was too much of a freak to get close to.
"Attention ghost, you are to stay where you are. I have called the Guys in White and they have agreed to fly agents out to pick you up. If you do not stay peaceful I will be forced to shoot you, please don't make me do that. Please note this for your safety as well as our own. We do not know if you are peaceful or if this is just a ruse to lull us into a false sense of security." Jasmine Fenton announced to the entire group, while focusing on Danny.
"Why, Jazz you know me. You know I'm not dangerous, you know I'm your brother. Please don't do this I need your help, please." Danny was surprised she would call the Guys in White; almost everyone knew they were incompetent fools who cared more about looks then actually catching ghosts. But really he shouldn't be surprised after all, he killed their son, brother and friend then took his body to screw with everyone. Sometimes he really wished he could be normal, he wished he had never explored his parents failed attempts to create a portal into the Ghost Zone. He wondered what his life could have been like if he wasn't part ghost, but he knew it was too late for that now. He didn't move when his father and Dash came up to him, nor did he flinch when they drew their fists back in a punch. Soon he stopped registering the pain, and just accepted his fate, after all he's just a freak and no one cares about freaks. He accepted that his life would now consist of any experiments the Guys in White saw fit to do on him. He heard a jet land and footsteps approach him. He heard the conversations confirming his identity and he heard a passing of money.
"Don't worry freak, you're going to a nice new home now." That was the last thing he heard before his world turned dark.
Alright so I don't know if this is actually any longer, but I like how it plays out much better than the previous version. Again before any new chapters come out, the old ones are being rewritten. Still if you have any ideas of what you want to see happen send me a message and I will try and incorporate it into the story. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this new version of the first chapter, and please review it encourages me to write more.
Well until next time,
