I do not own Danny Phantom. The end. Please enjoy the story.
Chapter 1: Math Problem
Danny stared at the bobbing heads occupying the Nasty Burger parking lot. "This can't be serious." Danny muttered to himself in a puff, and began to wander around looking for any faces that could be Tucker or Sam. "What could be so important at the Nasty Burger? Maybe they are finally serving those Macho Tacos Tucker suggested."
While wandering around, he had been seeing some fairly crazy sights. Some people standing, which Danny finally concluded was a line, were dressed up in wild outfits. Some people were wearing colorful dresses, and others had wild hair.
"Maybe a circus of freak shows came to town." Danny chuckled, but stopped in his tracks when he saw a group of people dressed up as him. Well, as Phantom. "Except them."
Ignoring the scary fact that their was a ton of people dressed as his alter ego, he walked on. He pushed himself on his tiptoes, and finally caught sight of Tucker and Sam. He waved, and they waved back.
"What's going on?" Danny asked, breathless, once he had traveled through the pack of people. He pushed a guy with a fire-red troll-ish beard away from him, who glared at Danny angrily. Danny suck his tongue out, and immediately escaped to the other side of Tucker, now out of reach. couldn't get him now; he didn't want to lose his spot in line.
Tucker looked at Danny, then at Sam with a hint of hesitation in his expression. Sam stared back at Tucker, and to Danny it seemed they were trying to have a mental conversation with their eyes. It wasn't working that well.
"Come on," Danny complained, brushing his right hand through his hair. "What's the worst thing that could happen at the Nasty Burger? A discount day? Radioactive meat? I have been through worse with Vlad. I can handle it." The line traveled forward, with them trailing behind.
"Okay, Danny." Blurted Tucker. "Promise you won't get mad?"
Danny was getting frustrated now, but he knew that he shouldn't get angry with hundreds of people around him. "Yes, I won't get mad. Just tell me." Danny replied anxiously, instinctively inching closer to Tucker and Sam.
He really wanted to know whatever his friends wouldn't tell him. They had always been honest with each other since they met, but Tucker and Sam were probably just trying to "protect" him from something he could take care of himself.
"Danny," Sam spoke softly to Danny, to prevent curious people from hearing. "Do you know Greg Smith?"
Danny shook his head, obviously clueless.
Same answered her own question after a moment of silence between them. "He is a famous movie producer and writer." Danny's confused expression and continued. "He is here to make a movie about Danny Phantom."
Danny's confused expression became blank. Sam could almost see the gears clicking in Danny's head.
"They could of at least asked me for permission." Danny finally mumbled angrily, but not as much anger Sam had anticipated. "I could sue."
"I don't think it's legal for ghosts to go to court." Tucker joked, reciving a couple of smiles from Danny and Sam.
The line moved forward a little bit more. The three teens shuffled ahead.
"What's the line for?" he asked, slightly calmer.
"Greg Smith and his crew are having tryouts for the parts right now. I am trying out for Danny Phantom." Tucker announced, his chest sticking out proudly, and pointed at his chest with his thumb. Danny began laughing hysterically, imagining a red cape blowing from Tucker's back.
"You-you're trying out as Danny Phantom?" Danny asked between laughs. Tucker eyed Danny angrily.
Sam decided to butt in right now, before Tucker would become even more angry. "Don't you realize what will happen to Danny Phantom after this movie comes out?" She didn't want Danny to worry more, but she wanted him to realize how critical this movie would be to his secret identity.
"Danny Phantom will become famous." Tucker answered proudly, obviously informed by Sam. Tucker didn't sound the least bit worried, but he did always dream of fame and fortune.
At that moment, it felt like the whole world stopped. Danny felt the blood rush from his face. He finally realized why his friends didn't want to tell him about this movie before. Well, at least Sam. The movie would come out, and thousands and thousands of people would want to see the real ghost boy personally. Cameras would be following Danny Phantom, and as a result it would make it hard for him to transform into Danny Fenton without people near him to see his transformation. He couldn't just stay human the whole time either; ghosts would be attacking the town. It was like a simple math problem: Danny Phantom plus movie equals fame.
