Danny Fenton Football Captain and the East Coast Vampire

Grasping at roses

"Kwan? Is that you? AH!" Star dropped her soda on the wooden floor. On her couch was Kwan but next to him was a glowing boy floating over her couch.

"Don't freak out! It's Danny," Kwan said.

"Sup," Danny waved at Star. Star eyes switched between the two.

"Can you guys like, explain please?" Star shouted.

Danny groaned. "Remember last year when I was out of school for a few weeks?" Star nodded. "Well. I was out because I went into my parent's ghost portal and I kind of fixed it. With me inside of it. There was bright light, my skin felt like it came off and I woke up like this. I think I made myself half ghost, half human. I can fly, go through walls, and I'm more unique than anyone else in Amity Park. " Star groaned at the joke.

"So wait, have you been causing all the trouble around town for the past year?" Star picked her soda can up and sat down on one of the white upholster chairs.

"No. Well. I didn't mean to. When I turned the portal on, a bunch of ghosts came flying out of it. It was like a flood, and I didn't want to get in trouble with my parents, so I have been trying to catch all the ghosts and put them back in the ghost zone," Danny said. White rings appeared around his torso and returned him to his grass stain football uniform. Kwan reached over and pulled a tree branch from Danny's hair. "Thanks bro,"

"No problem!" Kwan said. He got up to throw the branch away when he saw Star looking at him with that look. "I was getting us food from Nasty Burger when the terminator came by and tried to shoot up the place. Danny was hiding behind a dumpster and I, being such a great guy, saved his ass." Star gave Kwan another look . "And then we didn't know where to go and I know you are one of the smartest, most beautiful, most amazing persons I know. So, I had Danny bring us here."

"He wasn't a terminator. He was a ghost, ghost hunter from the Ghost Zone that was trying to kill me," Danny pointed out.

Star pinched the bridge of her nose. "Danny, why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Well I didn't know how everyone would react. My parents want to tear apart any ghost that crosses their path, and every time I save someone, they go on Facebook and complain about me. There are three anti-Ghost Boy Facebook groups already," Danny said. "Look Can you promise me that you and Kwan can keep this a secret? I don't know what would happen to me if everyone found out. I would lose everything."

It was Star who was sighing, "Danny you are lucky that we have been friends since third grade, when you spilled milk all over my bratz t-shirt and then cried when I punched you. Of course I will keep your secret... but only on the condition that you let me help you catch ghosts."

"It was an accident and you gave me a black eye for no reason! And why? Ghost catching is dangerous, didn't you just hear Kwan say that a terminator shot up Nasty Burger trying to catch me?"

"Wait, I thought he was a ghost, ghost hunter?" Kwan said.

"He is, but his skin is made of metal,"

"Danny I want to help because hunting ghosts sounds amazing, and you are one of my oldest friends. I want to make sure you are okay. Especially since your foot is bleeding all over my parent's floor," Star said.

"Fuck," Danny lifted his foot and his white knee high football socks were stained red.

Star ran to her kitchen, her family's apartment was a minimalist hell. Everything was shit upon white with accents of gold here or there. In one of the few closed cabinets in the place, was a wooden first aid kit. She grabbed it and ran back to the living room. Under Danny's socks, the net had cut into his skin leaving crosshatch cuts down his leg and around his foot. Kwan ran out of the room, he ran back in with a few towels. Star washed the blood off his foot, then wrapped his foot up in gaze.
