Time: 9:31 PM Darkness has consumed the earth once again

So, here's my first DP fanfic. I've done a few others for ATLA, and JN, but I've been on a DP spree lately. I hope I can actually finish this one...I have an idea, and I hope it sticks with me. ;)

I also hope you guys will like it. Hopefully fluff will find its way into future chapters a bit more. So, tell me what you guys think of it thus far! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own DP. Butch Hartman has the reigning rights of him...as does Nickelodeon. *sad day*

When I'm flying, it's like no other feeling in the world. It's magic. Not the kind that people try to portray nowadays, but the ancient magic; the kind that existed in the old world. The kind that actually worked wonders, the kind that destroyed cities, brought rulers to their knees, the kind that could make anything look romantic.

And what was even better was that I was sharing this experience with one of the most important people in my life. Whether or not he considered it like magic was beyond my knowledge, since this was a daily routine for him, but I relished the daily flights to and from school.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught him staring at me.

"What?" I asked defensively, all too aware of the hair slipping from my ponytail and threatening to blow into my eyes.

He ever so slightly smiled, a hint of amusement in his eyes. "Just thinking."

A sly smile crept across my lips, "Oh yeah? About what?"

He looked back ahead, wind blowing his hair back forcefully. At that exact moment, he nosedived towards the ground, a wicked grin coursing over his face as I tightened my grip around his body. Eyes wide and alert now, I scanned the faces of the envious girls in the courtyard, and the stares of awe by the football team on the adjacent field. It was a strange feeling to be observed so carefully and given so much attention.

But my thoughts didn't last long as I felt the familiar, pull of my molecules coming apart, and the strong tingling sensation take over my body, and everything went dark with the color of dirt as he so easily passed us through the ground and back up again into the hallway, directly in front of my locker.

Settling me on my feet from the bridal style hold he had on me, I tried to steady myself. The whole rearranging my body's molecules sometimes still got me when I wasn't looking, making me dizzy and a little unsteady. Danny's arms held me in place for a moment, until I looked up. His unnatural bright green eyes carefully roamed my face, assuring himself that I was fine, and once he had finished, he lowered his head to mine, allowing our foreheads to touch ever-so-slightly.

"I was thinking about this summer," he whispered carefully, his voice lowering, the hint of maturity lacing his words.

This summer.

We had talked about a lot of things we were going to do this summer, now that we would finally be free of high school in 11 days. My eyes searched his, trying to pry the answers as to which summer activity he was hinting to.

Suddenly, I realized what he was talking about.

"Oh," I breathed quietly. He was serious when we talked about that? I felt my stomach drop slightly. I wasn't sure whether I was ready for that yet.

He saw the hesitation in my eyes and I saw him pull back in defense at that moment. But he covered it up as quickly as it had happened in the first place, and smiled warmly at me. "The places we are going to go, is what I meant."

I knew that wasn't what he meant at all. But I smiled anyways, knowing he was truly afraid of what I thought. The power we had over each other was amazing, and I found myself both relishing in it, and opposing it.

I saw his head turn as someone caught his eye down the hall. I peeled myself from the locker and leaned too see who he was staring at, and now raising a hand in a wave.

I saw the familiar beret of Tucker, and smiled a little easier.

"Be there in a second man," Danny said, his voice rising to reach Tucker's ears over the crowded hallway.

Turning back to me, he took a step forward and lightly placed a soft kiss on my forehead, my eyelids heavily closing. They closed so easily nowadays, and I often found myself wondering how I was able to ever live without this before.

When he pulled back, I opened my eyes and watched as he materialized into his "human" self once again. Back into Danny Fenton. He winked at me cunningly, telling me he would get back to me at the end of the day, and I nodded in understanding as I watched him stride down the hallway towards Tucker. My heart was still tingling from the way his jaw-dropping blue eyes had pierced me.

He had filled out quite well during high school. Who knows what happened, but his physique was so much different than when he first started high school. He had grown a good six inches, and had the build of a wrestler, and the well defined muscles of one too. I was constantly bugging him about why he wouldn't join the wrestling team, but he just shrugged and said it wasn't his thing. Basically, in other words; it wasn't ghost-fighting. But he was good at it, that's for sure, and that's all that matters.

It was so much easier for him now that everyone knew the truth about him. It was easier on his mind and emotional state, now that his parents knew and accepted him too. And since that year we had started dating, it had taken a good chunk of time to convince my parents that I was growing up, and… I wasn't them. I had different plans for my future, but I would still always be their little girl.

I found myself smiling more easily in the past couple of years. And I had Danny to thank. And hopefully I would continue to be thanking him for quite a while more.
