Disclaimer: I wish I wish I owned Danny Phantom! Desiree: -turns me into Butch Hartman- AHHHHHHHHH! CHANGE ME BACK CHANGE ME BACK! -is changed back-


Just a random idea I had. Yes, there is actually more of Married With Children or Ghostbuster, but I wanted to test this idea out.


Lance Thunder sighed as he attempted to do his tie. His wife snorted at him before she did it herself.

"Hopefully I won't have to be covering the on-scene news report again," he groaned, the idea alone making him want to cry. "I'm a weatherman for crying out loud!"

"Oh honey, they're just always short-staffed," his wife told him. "You should consider filling the position of TV anchorman. After all, Sarah did quit since she got that job offer in New York. You already have experience, you do it so much on scene reporting already, only thing that would really change is some extra money in our pockets."

Lance thought it over. Yes. Sarah did quit, Shelly did come back from maternity leave, they just hired two new people plus all those stupid interns.

"I do have a minor in journalism," he said thoughtfully. "And it would be nice to have a small pay increase."

"I know you do," she told him, kissing him before handing him a cup of coffee and a doughnut. "Now run along, you're late."


"Well Thunder, I don't know," his boss said thoughtfully. "You're more qualified as a weather man than a news anchor. You have to go out and find most of the stories yourself you know."

"I do it so much already sir," Lance reminded him. "Since we're short-staffed."

His boss 'hmmed' and scratched his beard as he looked over his resume. After a moment of looking it over, he finally spoke again.

"You know...we do have that college intern who can do the weather," he said slowly. "And Shelly's come back from maternity leave and is ready to go back on the scene reporting. Yes...Yes I think we could give you as a news anchorman a try. If you do good, we'll talk business."

"Thank you very much!" Lance chirped, shaking his hand before his boss waved for him to go out.

Lance walked out and immediately thoughts of his first news story came into his brain. Time to impress his boss and get the raise he totally deserved.


"Today everybody is preparing for next week's celebration of the one-year anniversary of Danny Phantom supposedly saving Amity Park from Pariah Dark. Though many still agree that he is still evil, everybody else is eager and ready for this celebration," Lance's new co-anchorwoman comment with ease.

"That's correct Harriet. Various bakerys are, in celebration of this event, are making Danny Phantom shaped-cookies, cakes, donuts. You can also purchase cookies in the shapes of other famous ghosts that have been identified by an anonymous ghost hunter," Lance continued. It was still just his second day. He saw Harriet smile at him encouragingly before he continued to read from the screen. "This weekend, Casper High has generously opened it's doors to host a Danny Phantom-themed fair, with rides, snacks, contests and more in honor of this event. We'll have more on that story as the week goes on."

"Speaking of Danny Phantom, the famous, or infamous depending on your point of view, ghost boy was seen helping put out a fire in the apartment just a mile east of City Hall that occurred when a man started barbecuing on his balcony. The man forgot about his food and went to bed, the grill setting fire to the balcony's above's drapes, which spread to the rest of the apartment. There was only seven injuries, the only severe one belonging to the ghost boy himself," Harriet continued. "Danny Phantom used some sort of ice power to put out the fire as he pulled out citizens. He refused medical treatment and fled the scene before firemen or paramedics could force him to the hospital to receive treatment."

And that is how it went. Harriet and Lance switched speaking parts, occasionally cutting to on-scene report or to the weather or to commericals. In his opinion, this was so much better than what he was forced to do before. After the cameras were off, his boss motioned for Harriet and him to walk over to them.

"That was great. But since we're celebrating, I want more news on the event," he told them.

"Like, talking to the bakeries?" Harriet asked. "Talking to the high school about the fair, the mayor about why we're making this such a big deal?"

"Interviewing Danny Phantom?" Lance suggested. His boss laughed.

"Ah, Thunder. If you can get an interview with Danny Phantom, I'll give you the biggest bonus you ever saw, a pay-raise and give you your own independent part on the news," his boss chuckled. Lance grinned, dollar signs and Danny Phantom's face blocking his vision.
