Alright, so, I can't get back onto my other account, JuneLuxray. I've waited a few weeks, signing anonymous reviews. At this time, I decided there was just no more chance of me getting the account back, so I set up here. I wrote this on dA during the waiting period. So, here's a new fanfiction to make up for my absence.
Danny Phantom (c) Butch Hartman
Story (c) Me.
"Hon, look at what I got you!" Jack shouted as he entered the house. Maddie came up from the lab and looked at the red blossoms in his hands with purple stems. She smiled.
"Those are lovely, honey! Thank you!" She said, taking them and giving Jack a kiss. She smiled at them.
"Where did you get these?" She said, smelling them. Jack shrugged.
"Oh, some odd-looking fellow- pale as a ghost- was selling them. I figured, 'eh, why not get Mads some? They sure are pretty. Just as pretty as her!'" He said. Maddie gave an 'aww' and gave Jack a kiss again.
"You're so sweet. I'm going to go put these in water. Thanks hun." She said, heading for the kitchen. Jack went down to the lab.
Maddie filled up a glass vase with cool water, placing the flowers inside. She grinned at them.
"Now, these would be pretty in the middle of the table." She said, placing it on the center of the dinner table. "Now, gotta go make sure Jack doesn't hurt himself down there..." She muttered, heading toward the lab.
~*~*~Later That Evening~*~*~
"Kids! Time for dinner!" Maddie shouted. Jazz and Danny came out of their bedrooms, and down the stairs. Well, at least Jazz stepped down the stairs. Her brother slid down the railing, earning a cross look from his mother.
"Danny, don't do that. You could very well fall backwards." She scolded. Danny muttered a 'sorry', and turned into the kitchen...And stared at the table in horror.
There was chicken and dumplings on the table- but, despite him loving the dish, it wasn't what caught his attention. It was the Blood Blossoms that sat in the dead center- his dad noticed his horrified stare.
"Is there anything wrong, son?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow. Danny gulped.
"N...No." He said, looking down and sitting in his usual seat. He spooned some of the dinner in a bowl on the table for himself, trying not to cringe as the blood blossoms shocked him a little. Just being near them hurt.
As he slowly ate, he avoided everyone's eyes, just staring down at the table. He ignored his parents' stares.
"Danny, are you sure you're alright? You don't look too good." Maddie said, placing a hand on his forehead. She frowned. "You have a small fever."
Her son mentally guessed that the blossoms made him feel hot, and he shook his head. "I-I'm fine, mom." He lied. Jazz wracked her mind for an excuse.
"Uh-uh...Maybe he's allergic to the flowers?" She suggested. Jack snorted.
"No Fenton to my knowledge is allergic to any flower. Here, I'll prove it." He said, yanking a blossom out from the vase. He smiled. "Danny can smell it a little and prove he's not allergic." He said, shoving the blossom in his face.
What neither of his parents expected was for Danny to scream in agony from the action. Jack instantly yanked the blossom away, saying 'sorry'. It continued to shock his son, with red smoke coming from his body. He tried not to scream as it shocked him.
"It's still hurting him!" Maddie shouted, running toward her shaking boy. Jazz stood up.
"That type of flower is edible! Quick, eat it!" She said. Jack stared at her.
"But-"
"Just trust me!" She insisted. Her father nodded, held his nose, and shoved it down his throat. Danny stopped shaking and let out a relieved sigh. Maddie cringed.
"Oh, your nose is still all red! Poor thing!" She said worriedly. Her son shook his head.
"No, mom, I'm alright." He said. "I'll be fine."
His mother just gave him a look, before she pulled the rest of the blossoms from the vase, opened the window to the backyard, and threw them outside. "As of now, these flowers are banned from the house." She said, crossing her arms. Jack gave a sheepish look at his son.
"Sorry, Danny. Didn't know how much those things hurt you. It's interesting- I've never known a Fenton who's been allergic to any type of flower. Heck, I've never even seen a blossom that could do what it did to you. What type was it again...? Oh yeah! The vendor said they were...Blood Blossoms, I think." He said. Maddie left for a moment, then came back with some sort of cream in her hand.
"Here. This'll help you get better soon." She said, squeezing the tube in her hand, and placing some white stuff on his nose, and slightly around it where the other red parts of his skin were. Jazz giggled.
"Hehe. He looks like a lifeguard now."
"Shut up, Jazz..." He muttered, not pleased with having to let his mother do what she was doing. Once Maddie was done, she pat him on the head, put away the cream, and they continued eating dinner. When Danny was done eating, he excused himself and went up to his room, closing the door behind him. Maddie and Jack shared a look.
"Leave him be for now." Maddie said, right as Jazz was leaving the table. She gave them suspicious looks, but left. Jack was still curious.
"I really have never heard of any flower that could do what it did to Danny. Mads, why don't we go research it a little?" He suggested. His wife nodded, and both stood up, heading for the lab.
