Summertime. The time of year every kid and teenager eagerly looks forward to, as it means no school for three months. While most of the youth were ready for summer vacation, one youth was dreading it.

"This sucks," muttered out a raven-haired boy as he and his two friends stepped out of the Casper High for the last time of the year. The three were making their way down the street, on their way to their homes.

"Don't worry, Danny! I'm sure summer won't be too bad," replied the young mayor of Amity Park.

"Easy for you to say, Tuck. Don't forget I'll have to deal with those vulture that like to surround my house," growled out Danny. "Sometimes I regret revealing my identity."

"Don't say that, Danny. If it weren't for you, everyone would be dead," said their Goth friend.

"Yeah," relented the half-ghost hero with a sigh. "I just wish I could enjoy this summer. Too bad I'll be dealing with vultures, Tuck will have his mayoral duties, and you'll most likely be dragged around to whatever your parents have planned."

"Don't remind me," muttered out Sam with a grimace.

"The point is that without you guys, summer vacation is going to suck eggs."

"Can you feel the love?" joked Tucker, causing Danny to smirk and Sam to roll her eyes.

"I'm sure things will turn out for the better, Danny."

"I can only hope, Sam. I can only hope," said Danny, sighing once more.

Danny soon reached home. Grimacing at the crowd of reporters, he quickly went invisible and intangible to bypass them and into his house. Once inside, he turned off his powers and let another sigh.

"Yay, summer," he said sarcastically.

It was then his parents and sister entered the room.

"Hi, sweetie! Are you glad that summer is finally here?" asked his mother with a smile.

"If by "glad" you mean ready to be hounded by vultures, then yes, I'm oh so happy!" replied Danny, the sarcasm still there.

"Have no worries, Danny-boy! Your mother and I have been talking and agree that the best solution is to go on vacation!" exclaimed his father with his signature grin.

Danny raised an eyebrow at that. "You sure that's a good idea, Dad? You and I both know the vultures will follow us wherever we go."

This caused his sister to merely smile. "Which is why YOU will be the one going on vacation, little brother."

"…Wait, what?"

The teen looked at his family with a blank look. What the hell were they saying?

"Danny, while all of us could use a break from the media…"

"They're vultures, Maddie!"

Maddie ignored her husband for the moment. "As I was saying, while all of us could use a break, it's clear that you need it the most, so we've decided that you should go on vacation by yourself."

"…I'm still confused."

Jazz rolled her eyes. "It's simple, Danny. Mom, Dad, and I will keep the vultures busy, while you sneak out to go on vacation. By time they realize that you're not here, you'll be long gone and enjoying yourself!"

"It's foolproof!" added Jack.

Danny turned to his parents. "And you're both okay with the idea of me going on vacation with no adult supervision?"

He was surprised when his mother brought him into a hug.

"Danny, you've proven time and time again to be very responsible. Your hero status proves that. You've earned this, don't you think?" asked Maddie.

"But what about the ghosts that come to Amity?"

"Don't worry about that, Danny-boy! Your mother and I will keep an eye on things here!" exclaimed Jack as he ruffled his son's hair.

Once free, Danny fixed his hair. "Well if you're really sure about this…"

"We're sure, Danny," replied Maddie.

The boy couldn't help but grin happily. Looks like summer won't be so bad after all.

Some time later, Danny had a duffle bag packed with the essentials. Turning to his family, he gave them one last smile and wave, promising to keep in contact. He then went ghost and flew through the roof of his house, invisible and intangible.

Floating in the sky, he looked down at the vultures and gave them a taunting grin, despite the fact that they couldn't see him. With that he took off, ready to see what his vacation had in store for him.

PROLOGUE END

-:-

Short, but this IS just the prologue after all. As promised, here is the beginning of "Phantom Rocker: World Tour". The main plan is that each location visited will be three chapters each; two chapters focused on the location and the third chapter will focus on what's going on in Amity Park. This way all characters can have some focus.

Believe it or not, this was originally going to be a My Hero Academia fic. The main concept would have been that the Dekusquad (Izuku, Iida, Ochaco, Tsuyu, Tokoyami, Shouto, and Aoyama) would be sent to various locations around the world by a villain's teleportation Quirk and would have to stop said villain from stealing various world landmarks. I changed it to a Danny Phantom fic when I figured that an "around the world" concept fit it more than it would MHA. Of course since I already had some places planned out for the MHA concept, I'll be mentioning the differences at the end of each stop on Danny's vacation.
