Chapter 7: The Test

3 weeks later,

Maddie was coming out of the class room. It seemed that the school was adjusting to the fact that the parents of two students and things were going back to normal.

"Ah. Mrs. Fenton" Lancer said "How are you enjoying teaching?"

"It's a lot of fun Mr. Lancer. Of course, only the teaching part. I could deal without the bureaucracy of the school board."

"Yes. That's what turns a lot of prospecting teachers away from this rewarding career" Lancer agreed. (A/N: Did for me) "And I must say, you and Mr. Fenton teaching has worked wonders on Daniel"

"how so?" Maddie asked

"He's no longer skipping or cutting" Lancer said

Of course, little did the adults know, that was because the ghosts were never around the school because there were now four PRO ghost hunters and three of one's back up. It was easy to try to take over the town when the hunters weren't clustered in one building and could ALL get the news at once and spring into action.

"Well, Truthfully Mr. Lancer, I think the accident Danny had in the lab last year may have affected him mentally and he was trying to hide it" Maddie said as she and Lancer rounded a corner.

Just in time to see Danny being stuffed into a locker by Dash who walked away laughing not having noticed the teachers

"Aren't you going to do something?" Maddie asked the teacher

"Well, Mr. Baxter scored 6 touchdowns…" Lancer started to explain

"Since when are SPORTS more important than students' mental health!" Maddie exclaimed "It's no wonder Danny used to skip school!"

Tucker and Sam released Danny from his locker prison

"You okay?" Tucker asked

"Yeah" Danny told his friend. "I'm used to it now"

"I hope your mom catches him" Tucker said

"Too late" Sam said upon seeing Maddie yelling at Lancer, eyes flashing very dangerously

"Why do I feel sorry for Dash?" Sam asked

Maddie walked up to Danny

"You okay?" she asked

"I'm fine Mom. Nothing to get worked up about. Besides, if you punished Dash, he'll only come after me"

"Still, it's not right that someone shoves you into your locker and gets away with it. I'll see you in class" she said before going after Dash

"It's also not right that ones parents unknowingly wants to rip their own son apart molecule by molecule but you don't see ME going after you guys" Danny muttered under his breath.

"Ready for the test today?" Sam asked in an attempt to change the subject

"This might be the first A I'll get since that time Lancer had 'imprisoned' me in the classroom" Danny told her

"Let's just hope our answers are the same as the answers on your parents' answer sheets" Tucker said. "You didn't look at them did you?"

"Don't worry Tuck. I learned my lesson" Danny told his friends. "Besides…I don't know where they hid the answers, but I have a feeling it's where Mom hides the fudge"

The trio laughed and went to Ghost 101 class

A few minutes later, after Dash was given detention after being caught shoving Mikey into a locker

"Okay kids" Jack said. "Time to see how much you've learned from me…I mean…us"

Maddie passed out the tests and Danny put his name at the top

He smiled at the first question.

1. Which of the follow is NOT a reason for a ghosts' existence?

A. Fear of death

B. An obsession

C. Unfinished business

D. The way of death was too painful

Danny circled D. and went onto the next question

2. Who is Danny Phantom's arch foe?

A. Plasmius (Wisconsin Ghost)

B. The Box Ghost

C. Clockwork

D. Skulker

Danny circled A.

3. In your own words, how would you describe a halfa?

Danny rolled his eyes and wrote his answer trying to dumb it down so not to hint to his parents about the accident

I think a halfa is a being who isn't quite a ghost, but no longer human. Not sure how though

Meanwhile

A halfa appears to be a being that is a half-ghost/half-human hybrid. The halfa takes on the form and powers of a ghost, yet retains the memories and emotions from its human half

Valerie smiled at her answer before continued

4. Which color is NOT a typical ectoplasm color?

A. Green

B. Blue

C. Pink/Red

D. Yellow

Sam thought about the question. She knew that green wasn't the answer since that was Danny's color. Pinkish red was Plasmius'...she had seen blue…It had to be D.

Meanwhile, Tucker was smiling. These questions where half were short answer and the others were multiple choice were TOO easy.

5. Who is the ruler of the Far Frozen lair in the Ghost Zone?

A. Clockwork

B. Frostbite

C. Princess Dora

D. Pandora

Jazz smiled at the question she was on.

9. List ALL of Danny Phantom's powers

Danny had recently decided to allow Danny Phantom to create a truce with the hunters so they had access to the list of powers. That meant Jazz could go all out

Invisibilty, Intangibility, flight, ectoblasts, ectoshields, overshadowing, ice, ghostly wail, duplication, currently working on morphing ecto-energy

The best part was that Jack and Maddie would KNOW that Jazz and Danny would know the complete list. And possible even Sam and Tucker being best friends of Danny Fenton.

It wasn't long before Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and Valerie finished the test. They turned in the papers and went back to do their own thing while the rest of the class was stumped on the non-Danny Phantom questions.

Danny smiled at his friends. This class wasn't so bad after all with the help of the ring that hid his ecto-signature. In fact, this class could bump up his G.P.A.

Not to mention the fact that there hadn't been any ghost attacks since Jack and Maddie started teaching. This class was actually a blessing in disguise.

The End
