When Danny woke up he had an urge to stay in bed. Something was going to go wrong today, he just knew it. Or at least that was what his gut was telling him. He shook off the odd feeling and got ready for school, phasing into his clothes and brushing his teeth. Danny ran down the stairs, stumbling on the last one.
"Morning, Jazz. Hi Mom and Dad." Danny reached for the cereal and noticed the ecto-weaponry on the table. "Ummm… what's all that for?"
Maddie grinned broadly. "Well, the school decided that with all the ghost attacks, we ought to learn a little more about them, so they turned to us! We'll be able to show all those kids how Danny Phantom is polluting their mind!"
Jazz put down the book that she had been so engrossed in. "Well, I for one am glad that we have Phantom to stop the attacks. Right, Danny?" Jazz winked at her brother, who had been staring at the cereal, moving it around with his spoon.
"Nonsense, Jazzy-pants! Ghosts are evil, even Phantom!" The overweight man in the day-glow suit said. Otherwise known as Jack, Danny and Jazz's father, and the guy in the orange suit with horribly bad aim. He launched into a story about how ghosts were subconsciously evil and how they were imprints of the human mind or something or other. Danny cut off his dad in mid-rant to reach for his backpack and ran out the door with an, "Oh my god! I'm gonna be late! It's 8:30!"
Somehow, Jack didn't notice and continued, much to Jazz's discomfort.
"Dude, what's wrong? You look pale-er," Tucker said.
Danny sighed, dragging his feet on his way to the "eloquently" named class-Ghosts. "Well, what if they find out? What if a ghost attacks? What if something happens? What if Valerie destroys me? What if-"
"Calm down, Danny! Nothing is going to happen. Besides, you have Tucker, Jazz, and I to help you out! You'll be fine!" Sam patted his back re-assuringly. "Besides, what could go wrong?"
As they walked into the classroom, the trio noticed four things immediately. Paulina was actually paying attention; Valerie looked extremely interested, there was ecto…things all over the teacher's desk, and behind the desk sat Maddie and Jack in their customary jumpsuits. Sam's eyes immediately narrowed when she spotted Paulina sitting next to the Jocks. "She probably wants to learn more about Danny Phantom." Sam snorted and muttered, "Yeah, like Danny would ever look twice at her."
They chose seats far in the back and sat down just as the bell rang. Maddie and Jack immediately sprang up. "Welcome to Ghost!" Maddie said. We will be teaching everyone here about them and how they work, their mannerisms, and how they react, along with many other things, such as how to protect yourself from them and get rid of them!" Danny's face paled drastically. Of course, Maddie and Jack were completely oblivious. "Now, Jack, please pass out the Fenton alarms!" Jack bounded over and gave a small circle device with a button on it.
"These small beauties will alert us to any ghosts around town! All you have to do is press the button!" Maddie said. "Now, enough with that, to defeat your enemy, you need to know more about it! Ghosts are made up of ectoplasm and do not cry, eat, breathe, have a pulse, or any human mannerisms."
In the back, Team Phantom rolled their eyes and exchanged looks.
"Their powers are based off of how strong they are and how they fight, as well as where in the ghost zone they live." Jack rambled. Paulina raised her hand. "What powers does Phantom have?" she asked.
Maddie pulled down a chart. "Now, from our observations, he has flight, invisibility, intangibility, ecto-rays, ecto-shields, ice, duplication, overshadowing, superhuman speed, strength, and reflexes, teleportation, electricity, water, and telekinesis. The odd thing about Phantom is that he has much more powers than the average ghost. Most ghosts only have the basic powers, such as flight, intangibility, and invisibility. Only specialized ghosts, such as this giant plant ghost we call the shrub specter-" here she pointed to a picture of Undergrowth- "Have rare powers."
Team Phantom exchanged another look. They had not included Danny's most powerful attack, the Ghostly Wail, probably because they didn't know about it.
Valerie waved her hand in the air. "How powerful is Phantom?"
Maddie smiled. "That brings me to my next point. Jack and I invented a new device that measures a ghost's power level, as well as how much it is using at the time. There are Levels 0-12. The ghost king is about 11.5, ghost X is about 5.3, and the crate creep is about 0.0001 (A.N. Poor boxy!). I would say Phantom is around 10, but we can't be for sure, because he always flies away after a battle. The odd thing is that Phantom's power level has grown drastically since he first started to haunt this city and that now he only uses 50-60%of his power, as if he doesn't know that he is that powerful. He is highly dangerous and unapproachable. If you see him, get away quickly and alert us."
By now, Danny's face was drained of the little color it had left. Paulina was staring at the Fentons. "Phantom is NOT evil! He is the hero of this town!" Alll the kids agreed with her, except of course, Valerie.
"He IS evil. Look at the property damage he causes! What about Axion labs! And the Mayor and the jewelry stores!"
Throughout this whole conversation Sam and Tucker were looking worriedly at Danny, who had his head down on his desk. The conversation continued with Danny in that same position, until he heard two dreaded words. Blood Blossoms. His head snapped up, and looked at his Mom, who was currently holding a jar of said flowers up.
"Now, I'm going to pass the flowers around for everyone to look at. At the end of this year , everyone will take one for defense against ghosts, but the most well behaved will get the remaining."
Out of the corner of his eye, Danny could see Valerie immediately straighten up.
"Here you go, Valerie," Maddie said as she walked down the aisle, giving each student a flower to look at. As she got closer and closer to Danny, he lost the little color he had regained in his face and started sweating. He tried to push his ghost side deep down, but his ecto-signature was still too strong.
Oh noes! What will happen? What will Danny do? *runs around room* Review and find out! Faster!
