On Monday at Casper High, Danny is just walking down the hall, with Danielle trailing behind him. He's dressed nicely in his usual attire, no longer looking like an emotional wreck. Yet he still felt a surge of sadness from his break-up with Sam. He knew that he should've just keep his mouth shut about the terrible things that he told Sam the other day. What he said was stupid. Maybe he should've just think this throughly before letting it all out. The break-up is not the only thing, he's worrying about. He's also worrying about Paulina stalking him.
He sighed to himself, and head over towards his locker. While he was getting some of his books out of his locker, he felt a pair of skinny arms wrap themselves around his chest, with a familiar voice saying," Hi Danny, how's the hottest ghostboy in the world doing today?" Danny expected that would be Sam, but instead it was Paulina.
"Well... I'm doing.... okay... yeah okay", Danny stammered, showing a hint of sadness in his voice. He wanted to let out his emotions right now, but just can't do it at the right moment. So he let his muscles relax, hoping the popular girl would go away. Paulina squealed in delight and hugged Danny VERY tightly. Danielle, who is watching this scene, gave Paulina a resentful look and pushed her off of Danny.
She said," Leave him alone, Preppy!"
"Hey all I did to do was to say hi to Danny", Paulina bragged. "I can do whatever I want around here and you can't tell me what to do, Goth Geek. My daddy always gets me anything I want, even if it costs a shiny penny! Plus, I'm the prettiest and most popular girl in school! Boys even wanted to date me! You, on the other, are not pretty!"
Danielle's eyes started to glow green in anger. She yelled," Can't you at least be nice for once? As the years go by, everyone's going to be sick of you! From the way you are acting, you think you know just about EVERYTHING, but actually you don't! All your life, you make fun of a lot of people, including Danny! Just because you look up to him now, doesn't mean he's ever going to date you! NOW GET LOST!" She huffed out her chest after she spoke out her angry words.
Paulina, who is shocked from all of this, walked away from her and replied with a "Hmmph." Danny was very surprised at how Danielle is able to speak her mind out like that. She's like a giant brick wall, blocking anything or anyone that tries to break through it. Somehow, she reminds him of someone who is never afraid to speak her mind out. Danny was heading over to his first period class when he suddenly ran into Sam, who nearly crashed into him.
"Sorry, I-I was.." They both stammered, trying to get passed each other on the same path. They both end up looking at each other face-to-face, blushing in a crimson color. They both laughed as they tried to get by each other. Sam said," Okay very funny, Danny. Now could you let me pass?"
"I'm sorry, Sam, but I just can't help that we're BOTH going on the same path." Danny replied, laughing.
Dash yelled," ARE YOU EVER GOING TO GET TO CLASS OR WHAT? I'M GOING TO BE LATE", looking at his watch.
Danny motioned Sam to go ahead of him, and she did. Danny went in after her, and he decided to sit in the back since his original seat is usually very close to Sam's. After the bell rang, Danny took the opportunity to take a short nap.
Four classes later...
Right now, it's lunch time for him. Danny has been having some trouble trying to concentrate because he couldn't get Sam's words out of his head.
'Calm down, CALM DOWN! How could I calm down when I'm angry at you?'
Danny placed his hands on his head, mumbling," Go away, please"
'Well, what you should've done two weeks ago is hang up on Paulina on the phone!'
"Sam, you know I didn't mean to." Danny mumbled.
'We're done, Danny. It's over!'
When Danny decided that he couldn't take it anymore, he instantly blurted out," SAM, YOU KNOW I DIDN'T MEAN ANY OF THOSE THINGS I SAID! I'M SORRY!"
After his major outburst, he noticed that everyone is staring at him, and he realized that he was thinking out loud! Danielle came up to him, and told everyone," Move along! Nothing to see here!" Everyone went back to what they were doing before Danny's outburst.
Danielle placed a hand on his shoulder, asking with concern," Is everything okay? That break-up must've made a huge impact on you."
Danny sighed, and lied," Everything's fine."
Danielle gave him an all knowing look, saying," Danny, you know you can't lie about your feelings! Be honest with me. You may have hardly even know me, but I'm always an honest person. Just talk to me and I promise I'll understand no matter how bad it is. I promise you, you'll feel much better afterwards." She gave Danny a reassuring smile, looking at him with pleading eyes.
Danny sighed. "Okay, I'll tell you."
Danny explained to Danielle everything that happened at the park a few weeks ago, including the part where Paulina kissed him. When he finished explaining what happened, Danielle couldn't help but feel angry about this. Her fists were clenched tight and her pale face is turning beet red. From the looking at her, Danny swore that he saw her eyes glow bright green EXACTLY like his eyes usually do whenever he's ticked!
Danny thought,' Did her eyes just glow bright green.... like mine? Well, we do have the exact same eyecolor, but she can't be related to me! Is she?'
He raised his hands up in the air, and he instructed," Danielle, you need to calm down. Just take a deep breath." He demonstrated to her by showing her how to take in deep breaths. Danielle inhaled a deep breath, and she finally calmed down.
She mumbled," Why that shallow witch! Who does she think she is to mess with a relationship like that? Especially when she had just ruined my parents' future!"
"What was that?" Danny asked, confused.
"Nothing", Danielle lied, still angered by Paulina's plot.
/AT the Clockwork Tower/
Clockwork was watching the screen to see how Danielle's been doing. He shook his head, saying," Danielle, you'll understand the reason why I called you here. If you learned anything from your parents' struggles, then you would finally understand the things that make you who you are."
Then he heard the sound of cracking metal, coming from the back room, where he put the fenton thermos. He went over there and stopped in his tracks when he saw a ghost in a black and white jumpsuit, standing in front of the scattered pieces of the broken thermos. The ghost turned towards him, looking at him with piercing blood red eyes. An evil grin crept itself on his evil face.
He said," Well, it's about time I got out! Now I shall have my revenge on Danny Phantom!"
Clockwork stood on guard, saying," No, you won't! He's not going to be the only one to fight you, Dan!"
"Oh please! Try me!" Dan smirked. With that, he blasted Clockwork away, causing him to crash into the wall. Dan walked over to the portal to see a girl with black hair and blue eyes, sitting with Danny on the bench. He smiled evilly, and he said," Welly well, I think it's time for me to pay my daughter a visit!"
He laughed as he jumped through the portal. Clockwork slowly helped himself up, groaning from the impact. His head snapped up when he realized what Dan is after, besides Danny.
He immediately cried out," Danielle!"
