Chapter Three: Johnny and Shadow To The Rescue

After class ended, Danny and his friends were on their way to lunch.

"So Danny, what ya gonna do after school?" asks Tucker.

Danny was about to reply when they heard a familiar voice yell, "FENTON!" He felt a chill go down his spine and looked behind him to see Dash running toward them with a pissed-off expression on his face.

"Um gotta go guys see ya at lunch!" yells Danny and he starts running away with his friends watching helplessly as the quarterback passes them.

"Guess he failed another test again," Sam says.

"You think he'll outrun him this time?" asked Tucker, looking at the goth.

"Nope," Sam replies. This was Dash Baxter the star quarterback and one of the fast players so the chances Danny had out-running him were slim to none. "But who knows maybe he'll get lucky this time,"

"Maybe, but I doubt it," Tucker says as the two make it to the cafeteria.

Meanwhile,

"That's it Fen-ton! Run! I'm gonna be taking this 'D' I got on our math test out of your hide!" Dash says clenching his test in his fist.

'Come on does he have to pound me every time he fails a test?' Danny thought already knowing the answer to that question while running for dear life. Just as he rounds a corner, he stands straight up back to the locker trying to hide, he looks the way he ran from. He felt someone tap his shoulder, he looked up to meet a familiar missing tooth smile.

"Johnny?" said Danny.

"Hey Kid," Johnny said with a smile while waving.

"What are you doing here," asked Danny, shockingly "School's not over yet,"

"I know but I got a bad feeling you was in trouble so I came here," Johnny answered truthfully.

Johnny didn't know how but he had a weird feeling that Danny was in so trouble and he got worried so he came to check on him. And by the terrified look on Danny's face, he was glad he did.

"We'll your feeling is correct the school quarterback and bully, Dash Baxter is after me, he failed a test again and is going to beat me up for it." answered Danny.

"Seriously, he's taking his failed grade out on you, he sounds like a real jerk," said Johnny. "I mean I'm a jerk too sometimes but he sounds worse than me and that's saying something why don't you use your powers and give him a taste of his own medicine?"

"I can't, I only use my powers for good and nobody besides my friends and sister knows about them" Danny Answered. Before he remembered Johnny calling himself a jerk, sure Johnny's past had made him sound like a bad but he had his reasons for doing what he did but that didn't make him a jerk did it, besides he was trying to change his ways. "And I don't think you're a jerk, I mean sure you've done some bad thing in the past but your trying to make up for it so that counts for something in my book,"

Johnny looked at him in shock for a moment before he smiled, "Thanks I guess." They stood there smiling at each other before they heard, "Where are you Fenton Time to give ya your pounding!"

"Oh no," Danny said in a panic as he and Johnny looked in the direction Dash's voice came from. "I'm dead."

"I think I've got an idea that might get him off your back for a while but your gonna have to trust me on this okay," said Johnny.

Danny gave him a hesitant look, "Don't worry Kid, I'm not gonna hurt the guy, I'm just gonna scare him." Johnny assured, "You just have to trust me on this."
