Danny Fenton was your average halfa. Go to school, avoid the 'rents, hang with friends, and fight ghost crime. Normal day.

He was pretty sure.

Of course, he wasn't really thinking of normalcy or any other inane issue. He was sitting in class, staring into space, his finished test sporting doodles everywhere. Just as he was about to doze off - finally get some damned sleep - his breath came out as a blue wisp. Sighing, he rose his hand into the air.

The teacher looked at him and rolled her eyes, waving her hand. He was extremely grateful that he'd had a stroke of genius over summer to tell all his teachers that he had bladder problems and had to frequently use the bathroom.

Standing, he shuffled his way out, resisting the urge to rub his eyes. Also over summer, he had realized that he was a lot like Sam: he liked dark clothes, makeup, and boys. His parents weren't mad, persay, when he came out, but they were downright furious when he came home sporting multiple piercings one day. Shaking his head, he tapped the ghostly part of himself in his mind - Phantom, as they deemed him - who was sleeping.

Hey, Phan. Someone's here. Another ghost.

The ghost groaned, stretching his awareness in Danny's mind. Going ghost - boy, we need to find a cooler name for that - Danny became invisible and intangible, floating through the halls. A sneeze alerted him to the Box Ghost rifling through a storage closet.

He heaved a heavy sigh, floating over. "Hey, Box...can you wait until like, night or something? I swear to god you can steal all the boxes then. I just can't have you rifling through shit when people could see you."

The Box Ghost huffed. "Fine...but BEWARE! Your boxes shall be mine!" He zoomed away, and Phantom rolled his eyes.

Jesus, that guy needs an afterlife.

Danny snorted, dropping down to the floor as he shifted back. Tell me about it. At least we're on friendlier terms with most of our enemies. And indeed they were. Danny had been able to negotiate with even Vlad and Skulker. Vlad was now able to try - key word being try - to win his mom's heart over, and Skulker could do his weird bounty hunter business, as long as it had nothing to do with Danny. Basically, they all minded their own business.

Reentering the classroom, he laid his head on the desk, inhaling deeply. Phantom settled down, and said, Sleep, Danny. You need more of it.

Yeah yeah...well, at least we get to have a sleep over at Sam's. That was one of the pluses of being gay. He got to sleep over at his best friend's house and talk about all his troubles. He never did understand how boys would rather not talk about personal problems. They'd never go away if you didn't let it out and get advice.

Looking over at the goth girl, he gave her a sleepy smile. She grinned back, looking down to write a quick note, slipping it to him.

'You can take a nap when we get home. But I'll wake you for the horrorfest. 3' Danny smiled, replying in "leet" to her. They might like makeup and boys, but that didn't mean they didn't play MMORPGs - and beat Tucker's ass every time.

He laid back down and Sam patted his head. Phantom curled up and they slept for the rest of the period.
