Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom

Summary: On Danny's 14th birthday, he got zapped by the portal. Now, a full year later, Danny's turning 15. However, with all the excitement of Masters' Blasters, unknown to Danny, his parents lost track of the days and haven't realized the exact date. Danny thinks they had just forgotten his big day. Can Danny's day get better? Will Jack and Maddie realize that today is their son's birthday? Will Masters' Blasters meet their match in ghost?

A/N: This whole story happens in one day. And a word of warning, NOT my best work, but I hope you enjoy it all the same.

The Best Birthday Ever

Chapter 1

Danny Fenton was feeling very depressed. The town, that had FINALLY thought of him as a hero, was deciding that they were better off without him. It had been a full year since he got his power (which ironically had been on his birthday), and he was STILL getting used to them.

Danny rolled over that Saturday afternoon and smiled. It was a little after nine in the morning. It was finally his 15th birthday

He jumped out of bed and went downstairs half expecting his parents and sister to scream 'Happy Birthday' to him.

He got to the kitchen. There were his parents and his sister…but no greeting

"Hi guys" Danny greeted figuring that they just didn't see them

"Hi Danny" Jack said. "Got any big plans for today?"

"Not to my knowledge" Danny said expectantly.

"Great! Then you can come with me and bother Masters Blasters until they give us autographs."

Jazz winced as Danny cringed.

"On second thought, I think I'll just hang out with Sam and Tucker again." Danny said "Unless…YOU want to do something with me today Mom"

"I'm just going to work on the weapons. See if I can't help with Masters' Blasters"

Jazz bit her lip when she heard a low growl come from her brother and prayed he didn't call her out.

"Then I'm just going to meet up with Sam and Tucker" Danny said "But before I leave, is there anything you guys would like to say to me?"

"Nope" Jack said

"Be careful out there" Maddie said

"Oh yeah. That too" Jack realized

Danny looked over his parents one last time to see if they were showing any signs of keeping a secret. He paid REALLY close attention to his father (who couldn't keep a secret).

Nothing. No sign of hiding a surprise party

Danny then left the building and went to the Foley's home. Tucker had already gone for the day.

"Oh" Danny said with a sigh. "Do you know where he went?"

"Probably to Sam's or your place" Monica Foley told Danny

"Thanks Mrs. Foley" Danny said before getting on his scooter and going over to Sam's place and rang the doorbell

The door opened to reveal Sam's grandmother.

"Hello Mrs. Manson" Danny greeted "Are Sam and Tucker in?"

"No Danny" the elderly woman told him

"Oh" Danny said downheartedly. Looks as if he'd be spending his birthday alone "You wouldn't happen to know where they are would you?"

"No Dear."

"Oh. Well…thanks anyways" he said before turning to leave.

"Danny!" the elderly woman said

"Yes Ma'am?" he asked

"Happy birthday" she stated.

He gave her a smile before getting on his scooter and took off

When he got home, his mother was working on the invention.

"Where's Jazz?" Danny asked

"Said something about being back later tonight" Maddie said

"Mom? Are you SURE you're not doing anything else today?" Danny asked begging that there was a surprise party hint.

"I'm certain Danny. Why?" she asked

"Don't you know what today is?" he asked

"Of course I do" she said

Danny gave her an expectant look

"It's Saturday" she told him

"Never mind" he said leaving the lab, went up to his room, and slammed the door…hard

He couldn't believe it. His own parents had forgotten his birthday. Not to mention the first anniversary of the day he almost died

He plopped down on the bed, faintly hearing his father's voice out the window calling after the new ghost hunters.

Danny looked around his room and saw that someone, no doubt his father, had put up a Masters' Blasters up in his room…right next to a Vote for Vlad poster.

Danny rolled his eyes and threw a pillow at the posters. All the people pictured were making his superhero life more complicated. Masters' Blasters was making Danny Phantom look like an idiot and Vlad…well…Vlad's always been a creep. Ever since he found out that Vlad Masters was Vlad Plasmius.

Deciding to have a bit of fun on his birthday, he ran downstairs, grabbed a package of colored sharpies and flew them back up to his room. He then started drawing on the poster (Making Vlad look something like a cross between a devil and a toucan as well as coloring his face and hair so that he looked like his ghost form). He then drew a speech bubble out of Vlad's mouth and wrote in a phrase

Hello. I'm a power-crazed frootloop bent on killing the one friend I have left and then marrying his wife and turning his son into my evil apprentice which will happen the day I decide to live out my life as a missionary.

Danny then turned to Masters' Blasters and started scribbling on the picture. When he finished, he felt his ghost sense go off. He looked around prepared to fight.

Nothing.

Danny shrugged before suddenly, his closet door swung open by itself.

"I'm going ghost" he said before turning into Danny Phantom.

He waited for the ghost, with his luck it was probably just the box ghost, but nothing happened.

"Danny!" Sam's voice came from the closet as if far off

"SAM!" he exclaimed before running into the closet and saw a small portal (that looked like it had been created by Wulf.) When he emerged into the ghost zone…
