Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. Whispers in the background (Do I have to do this everytime?)

"No ghosts?"

"No ghosts"

"No Box ghost?"

"No box ghost"

"No school?"

"No school"

"No…"

Sam slammed her notebook shut. "Phantom, we don't have anything to do today. It's Saturday! Even ghosts have to take a break once in a while" she said. Phantom, hovering over her in her room, sighed and rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.

Dani was grinning so hard she felt like she might collapse from hype. "Finally! No ghosts, no homework, nothing but Sam, Tucker, Danny and leisure!" she said.

"Well, I hear there's going to be a fair, anyone up for it? There's a cosplay section, so I'm pretty sure we can sneak Phantom in" said Tucker. He picked up his PDA and showed them a picture. There were cosplays of Doom characters, and a few of the ghosts. Boxy seemed to be a fan-favorite.

"Sure, we can do that. Hold on, let me get my bag" said Sam. She dashed downstairs. Tucker looked at the rest of them. "Well then? Lets go" he said.

The fair was a busy, fast-paced place. There were stalls of almost everything, from food to t-shirts. Several people in hoodies and jeans walked with people decked out in armor and helmets. It was a strange mish-mash of people, but it suited their purpose. Danny was a little hesitant at first, fighting instinct to flee. Sam kept a firm hand on him as they walked through.

"Hey dude, cool costume!" said a random passerby. Danny smiled, "You too, not bad at all" he said. The guy smiled at his compliment, and showed off his Phantom outfit. It was obviously homemade, with a black tee, black pants, a pair of rain boots painted white, and a white DP logo cut out of construction paper. He wore a wig on his head which seemed a few sizes too big. But it really wasn't bad for the limited budget outfit.

"How did you make yours?" the guy questioned suddenly. Danny was temporarily at a loss, "Uh…I bought it?"

The guy shook his head. "No way, that's a high-quality latex suit. No one here sells them. Actually…" he started to squint at him, which made Danny panic. He backed up, and was thankfully saved by Sam.

"Its latex, but one of my friends' works at a warehouse. They didn't sell well, so they gave it to us and we made the suit" she said confidently. The guy seemed satisfied with the answer, and gave them one more grin before leaving. Danny breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thanks Sam"

"No prob"

"No comments on mine?" said Dani. Sam ruffled her hair, which made her yelp in laughter. Danny grinned and joined in. Soon, Dani was in a fit of giggles while swatting at Sam and Danny. "Stop! Stop!"

They let her go, and went further in the fair. Tucker's eyes lit up when he saw a stand for cool drinks. He gave them the puppy-eyes (which really didn't land), but they went anyways.

"Okay, strawberry shake for Sam, bacon shake for Tucker, and vanilla for…Danny and Danny?"

"Yep"

Danny and Dani both reached for theirs. Sam snickered at the cashier's bewildered expression, and paid (with tip).

"Bacon shake? No offense, but that sounds disgusting" said Dani. Tucker huffed haughtily, "You don't know that" he said. He offered his cup to Dani, who took one whiff and made a gagging sound.

"Really?!"

Dani smirked, which left Tucker spluttering in indignation. Sam laughed at their antics.

"Oof!"

Sam looked up, and went to apologize until she saw who it was.

"My designer jacket!"

Paulina looked angrily at Sam, though the expression was more condescending then angry. Sam glared straight back. "Wow, look at that. I'm so sorry for ruining your designer jacket! You have like, what, fifteen more?" she said. Paulina dusted herself off, and sniffed.

"Look, it's the loser goth chick. And techno-geek" she said. Star giggled.

Paulina was about to make another remark when she spied Danny, standing a little to the back.

"Hey, who's that? Is the loser gang recruiting?" she said. Danny looked away, out of habit.

Paulina stared harder, and surprisingly backed off. "Hm, not a bad outfit. Hook me up with your designer" she said.

"Dani stepped in front in indignation. "Excuse me" she said. Paulina looked down at the midget-of-a-girl that was currently glaring at her. She aww-ed mockingly and ruffled her hair. Dani swat her hand away.

"C'mon Phantom, lets go" said Sam. Danny went to leave, then all of them froze as they realized what they just said.

"Did you just call 'em Phantom?"

Sam turned around stiffly, and tried to relax and play it off. "Yeah. He's in a Phantom cosplay?" she said, as if speaking to someone less intelligent than her.

Paulina shook her head, "No way. He looks too real. Trust me, I've seen almost every type of clothing, and he's wearing…ew is that latex?..but whatever"

She turned to Danny, then whispered something to Dash. Without warning, Dash grabbed at Danny with a fist.

Danny, out of habit, pivoted to one side, letting the punch barely graze him. Then, before he could think, Dash went for another. Danny's eyes widened fractionally before he pivoted again and let the punch sail over.

Kwan was the first one to realize what happened.

The other followed not far behind.

Danny was sweating now.

"Uh…he's in martial arts?" Sam said.

Paulina looked in suspicion at the black, hazmat-clad teen, then gestured at Kwan. Kwan punched at Dani's general direction, though it was obvious that he pulled his punch as to not actually hit the kid. Dani instinctively crouched into a fighting stance, arms raised and knees bent.

Uh oh.

Paulina's sneer suddenly turned into a look of surprise. She pushed Sam and Tucker aside as she poked Danny. Danny flinched.

"No way!" she said, then her face broke into a grin.

"Oh my gosh! It's actually you! Phantom, I am such a fan!" she squealed. Danny looked uncomfortable. Paulina grabbed his hand and started to shake it up and down.

Dash also stepped forward, shouldering aside Dani.

"Hey!"

Dani looked indignantly at Paulina. Paulina looked down on her distastefully, and shoved her again.

She turned back on to Phantom, and smiled sweetly at him. "Why don't we ditch these guys? Go for a movie, maybe come to my place? I have my own theater, pool, and spa built in" she said, batting an eyelash.

"You know, that was my cousin you just pushed"

Paulina frowned at the tone. Phantom looked away, and lead the group out. Paulina made a gesture for Dash and Kwan to stop them.

They stood, barring the way for then group. Tucker made a move to go around them, and Dash grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, and hoisted him up.

Tucker yelped.

Before Sam could do anything rash, Danny stepped up. He placed a hand against Tucker. Everyone watched, except for Sam and Dani, in confusion. Then suddenly, Tucker turned a transparent blue.

Dash stiffened in surprise as Tucker phased straight out. He straightened, dusted himself off, and smiled thanks at Danny.

With the group still shell-shocked, they made their leave. Sam looked back on Paulina's frozen face, and smirked. Paulina was left gaping at her, not quite sure what happened.

"That was pretty cool" said Sam. Danny smiled shyly. "Thanks"

It was about seven in the afternoon now, and the sun was starting to set. Sam didn't notice when she started to lean towards Phantom, tired from the day's events. Phantom didn't notice either. Dani's face lit up in a mad blush as she pulled Tucker away from taking blackmail pictures.

They sat like that for a while, Sam resting her head tiredly against Phantoms, a small, content smile decorating her face.

Phantom sighed, and slumped down. Their eyes started to droop, and they sat in this companionable silence for just a little more.

Guys! Sorry for the lousy work. I had to rush to get this out, since I haven't uploaded in a while. I actually wrote and published this in the same day (wasn't a good idea).

As always, please R and R, and thanks for reading!
