Ok, so here is my new Danny Phantom story. It's adopted from and inspired by Casey G's FuturePresent Switch story written several years ago and is being used with permission.

Hopefully I did a good job. Please let me know if I should continue and if you guys would like to see anything special go down. If I can find some room I will so look to squeeze it in. I do give credit where credit is due by the way.

Takes place before Phantom Planet, but not ignoring the episode.

Now: On with the story.

"Freeze! You ecto-projection of the human subconscious." Maddie Fenton yelled, ecto-guns poised and ready to fire. Her red hair was covered by the hood of her jumpsuit and her goggles covered her eyes, blocking out the sun and promising an accurate hit. Not too far behind Jack Fenton was hot on her trail, the Jack-o-nines in his grasp as he ran to his wife's side.

Oh great, just what I need." Danny muttered taking off in the opposite direction. He could hear them not far behind him, firing off rounds of ammunition as they fought to keep up. He looked down to see them just below on the ground and took a hard right, hopefully losing them in the trees. When he thought he shook them loose he came to rest beside Tucker and Sam who were sitting in the Park under a large oak tree. Sam looked up to him curiously as he allowed his human half take over. He dropped the two feet to the ground and looked to both his friends tiredly.

"Did you get Skulker?" Tucker asked picking at the ham sandwich in his hand.

"No, my parents interrupted me." He said as Sam shoved a celery stick into her mouth. "So much for our 'carefree weekend'."

"No offense Danny, but we gave up on that a while ago." Sam said while Tucker nodded vigorously.

"She's right dude. I'm pretty sure we'd know how to have a 'carefree weekend' about as good as you can hand us one." Danny nodded in understanding. It was times like these he was happy to have such understanding friends.

"Take that ghost!" A male called out. Before any one of them could react, Danny found himself wrapped up in the Jack-o-nines. A soft electrocution coursed throughout his body and he had to bite back a scream or else he'd give away who he really was. He watched as both his parents came crawling out from behind a nearby bush, looks of embarrassment on their faces.

"Oh, sorry Danny." Maddie said walking up to her son and helping him out of the contraption. He smiled bitterly back, hoping she wouldn't see the resentment in his eyes. Luckily she didn't, or if she did she showed no signs.

"Any of you kids see that ghost punk fly by here?" Jack asked the three teens who carelessly looked down to their destroyed picnic.

"Ugh yeah." Sam spoke up looking to her best friend's parents. "He went that way about two minutes ago." She said pointing in the direction of Casper High.

"GOT IT!" Jack yelled taking off on foot, leaving his wife behind to apologize for their recklessness.

"No prob Mrs. F." Tucker stated waving the concern off. "We were just finishing up here anyways."

"Yeah, we're just gonna head home mom." Danny said helping his friends pick up their mess and start to pack up.

"Ok honey, we should be home before six thirty. Are you guys gonna stay over for dinner?" She asked looking to the other two teens.

"Depends, what are we having?" Tucker asked slyly, a large grin plastered on his face. Everyone knew it didn't matter what they were having, Tucker was gonna stay and eat anyways.

"Well by the time Jack and I get home it'll be too late to cook." She said considering the thought for what appeared the first time that day. "I'll probably order a pizza."

"Sounds good to me." Tucker piped in. Sam nodded in agreement, knowing they respected her food options and would get a veggie for her.

"Ok you three, I'll see you guys tonight. Ta!" She said taking off on foot after her husband.

"UGH!" Danny groaned out.

"What?" Sam asked as they finished packing the rest of their things up and heading out of the park towards Fenton Works.

"Nothing, it's just nothing." He got out, his voice relaying it was anything but.

"I dunno, dude." Tucker said softly from behind his friend. "Doesn't sound like nothing to me."

"It's just, I'm sick of constantly having to chase ghosts on the weekends and breaking promises to you guys. I'm sick and tired of my parents constantly chasing after me and promising to rip me apart molecule by molecule. I want a semi normal life, sometimes I think about just showing the world who I really am." He said trailing off near the end. He hadn't told anyone what was going on in his mind until now, and secretly wondered if he should have just kept it bottled in.

"I know it must be hard Danny, but we're your friends. We're gonna stick by you no matter what, with or without your ghost powers." Sam said placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah, and as for your parents, they're just your parents, nobody's parents are perfect." Tucker agreed. "Take Sam's for example." Danny smirked as his friends attempted to cheer him up and softly chuckled as Sam stood there, full heartedly agreeing with Tucker.

"Danny, your half ghost…normal would just be boring." Sam said smiling brightly. "Besides, showing the world who you were, you'd never have normalcy again."

He had to agree with her on that one. If the world knew who he was, he'd either be the center of attention, never having a free moment, he'd be dead or he'd be alone in a world so big and cold. He was safer just keeping his big mouth shut.

"I know guys, thanks. But sometimes I just wish I could jump ahead to my future and see how my life is then. See how I've changed, maybe things get easier." He said as the three of them walked past the wishing well and to the concrete path.

"Everyone does Danny. That's normal." Tucker said as they left the park and their ruined picnic behind.

"So you have wished it, and so it shall be." A female voice spoke maniacally, watching the friends with a close eye as they disappeared from view.

Danny looked himself over in the mirror that night. After Tucker and Sam had gone home, and his parents had called it a night, he decided it was best to head for bed as well. He looked his right side over in the mirror and noticed a rather large bruise forming from where the Jack-o-nines had shocked him earlier. Experience told him he would feel it in the morning, but by mid noon the pain would become bearable.

He exited the bathroom after brushing his teeth and collapsed on the bed, exhaustion wearing thin as his eyes fought to stay open. They were too heavy and he was too tired to fight so he gladly closed them and gave into exhaustion, hoping for a brighter and better morning.

I know it was short, but it was more or less an introduction,

Please review! And tell me if I should continue. THANKS!
