I've been a Danny Phantom fan for years but never really got inspired to write any fanfics until I recently watch PP. The scene where Danny finally loses his powers kinda pissed me off because of how everyone was reacting and calling Danny selfish. Here's how I wish it had gone.

...

Danny stumbled out of the destroyed ghost portal, his clothes tattered and a white streak going through his jet black hair. He could already feel the absence of his powers, an empty feeling inside him where his ghost half used to reside.

Finally.

"I-I did it. They're gone. I'm normal!" Danny laughed happily. He swore he could cry. He just might.

On the other side of the room his two best friends Sam and Tucker watched him sadly, Danny's older sister Jazz shaking her head in disappointment, "I'm happy for you Danny. But it's too bad. I feel like I lost a good friend I just started to get to know."

Danny's excitement died down quickly as he looked at the other three. They sure as hell didn't look happy for him, "Why am I the only one not bummed about this? This is great! We can finally do normal stuff without being attacked by ghosts!" No more fearing for his life, or missing out on school dances or time with his family, more time to actually do his school work without being interrupted by a ghost attack...

"Yeah great. You're normal. Whoopee." Sam muttered sarcastically, crossing her arms.

"Guess we're gonna have to find other ways to spend our time huh?" Tucker sighed sadly, his shoulders slumping. Danny clenched his fists. This was supposed to be a good thing. Why were they acting like this? It wasn't fair!

"What's wrong with you guys?" He scowled.

"Us? What's wrong with you? You just gave up powers no one else had, powers that helped people! I can't believe how selfish you're being Danny!" Sam snapped.

The raven haired boy felt his heart start to race with his anger. "Selfish? You think I'm being selfish?" He whispered in a deadly calm voice. This couldn't be happening.

"Yes, you are." Sam and Jazz huffed. Tucker kept his mouth shut, not disagreeing with the girls but not defending his best friend either.

Danny took a deep breath, "Tell me guys, how exactly am I selfish?" He asked calmly. Sam put her hands on her hips, "Well, let's see. Maybe because you just gave up amazing powers that made you a hero just because you were having a little bad luck?" She glared.

"Oh I see. So, you think my parents being sent to prison is bad luck? You think my friends and family constantly being attacked by ghosts that are really after me is bad luck? You think literally being hunted down by the living dead and nearly killed every single day is just bad luck!?" Danny snarled, his voice raising as he ranted. If he still had his powers his eyes would be glowing green right then.

The goth girl flinched a bit but didn't back down, "You're making it sound worse than it really is. Stop being such a baby."

Danny panted, "I'm being a baby? Not wanting to risk the lives of my family is me being a baby!?"

"Danny come on, it isn't really that bad dude. We always come out ok." Tucker finally piped in, but naturally his big mouth only managed to piss the now fully human boy off more. "Sure, you and Sam got out just fine because you're always on the sidelines! You're not the ones getting punched and thrown around and hit with fucking lasers!" Danny snapped. He was tempted to rip his shirt off and show all the scars that littered his small frame. He hadn't had his powers for more than a year and already he looked like he'd gone to hell and back. Actually, he kind of had, multiple times. The only scar Tucker had was from a chicken pox he had scratched too much and Sam had one on her knee from a bike riding accident she had gotten into in grade school.

"Well... We still have to clean up after the mess those lasers made you know!" Sam shot back, as though that would end the argument with her as the winner.

"Oh, I am so so sorry I didn't keep things tidy while trying to keep my head from getting blown up and keep you guys from getting killed." Danny snorted humorlessly.

"Dude, you could have stuck around after the fights to help clean."

Danny narrowed his eyes, "I pass out after almost every fight Tuck. Sorry, but I would rather leave and pass out in an ally where I can change into my human self where I won't be seen and taken in for experimentation than stay and help clean."

Tucker and Sam flinched a bit. They couldn't even count how many times they'd had to search for Danny's unconscious form and carry him home.

"But Danny you're... You're normal now. How is that any fun?" Sam said softly.

Danny gave her a strange look before his eyes widened and his heart sank. It was obvious Sam liked him despite how much she rejected it. But as Danny thought back, she had never shown any signs of liking him as more than a friend before he'd gotten his powers. Before Jazz found out about Danny's powers she treated him like an annoying little brother and did everything she could to stay away from him. Tucker never nearly took as much interest in the Fenton's technology until he'd seen Danny first use the thermos.

The relationship he had with these people standing in front of him only existed because he had super powers. They didn't want Danny Fenton. They wanted Danny Phantom.

"So... So because I'm normal, I'm not worth your time?" He whispered.

Jazz sighed in exasperation, unknowingly breaking her little brother's heart more with her uncaring attitude. This was how she treated him before she knew about Danny Phantom. Like he was just an annoying kid. "Danny you're twisting our words."

"You just said that because I'm normal I'm not fun anymore! How else am I supposed to take that? You know what, screw it. Screw you. I'm only fourteen years old and I've faced death more times than anyone in Amity Park combined. Maybe even the whole world. People want to kill me. Do you understand how terrifying that is? People want me fucking dead! Even my own parents! Imagine having your parents point a gun at your face and call you an evil monster every time they saw you as what is supposed to be a hero! What's even more depressing? They've stood mere feet away from me and couldn't even recognize me. All that changes is my hair and eyes. And still they don't realize they're trying to kill they're son!" Danny cried, tears welling in his blue eyes.

The other three teens stared at the boy in shock. He was right. Being fourteen and having not one, but two different worlds that want you dead? Sure Danny had fans in this world, but they were strangers. What did it matter what they thought? The boy's parents thought he was an evil being that deserved to die. Vlad, the man who could have been his uncle, tried to kill him every time he saw him. An entire agency of heavily armed men were after the boy in hopes of dissecting him.

Danny was only fourteen. Just a child. And people who are supposed to protect and help him want him to die.

Now here his supposed friends are telling him he was selfish for not wanting to continue on with that life. A life he hadn't chosen. Sam frowned as she thought about this. Danny didn't have to keep his powers after he got them. He could have told his parents and asked them to help him. Hell, Danny did lose his powers quite a few times but still he always did what he could to get them back to help those he loved.

The three teens stood, looking guilty as their constant savior stood crying because of them.

Danny wasn't being selfish. They were.

"Sorry Danny Fenton isn't good enough for you." Danny whispered and left the destroyed laboratory to go bail his parents out of prison.

None of his friends tried to stop him. They didn't deserve his forgiveness. He had already given enough.

...

And then later on they would make up and the rest of PP would happen because Danny is an awesome and selfless hero and everyone else is a bunch of dicks that rely way too much on a freaking child.

Hope you enjoyed!
