Accident: Month One (Danny Phantom)

The Accident

BOOM!

"AHHH!" Danny screamed as the sound of the usual explosions echoed out of the basement and into his room.

Danny practically flew out of his bed and onto the floor, tangled up in his messy blankets. He narrowed his eyes in annoyance, making his baggy eyes very noticeable. An irked groan escaped his lips as he got out of his purple blankets.

Danny was a pale, small teenage boy, especially compared to most of the other boys (especially the jocks) at his school. Due to the late nighter he pulled to finish his homework and cream a bunch of newbies in Doom with Tucker, his normally bright blue eyes were slightly darker than normal. His bushy, black hair that was styled in the form of a reverse mullet was a disheveled mess, more so than normal.

Danny crawled out of his blankets and lazily threw them on his bed. He swore that his parents had made it their mission to drive him insane with their antics. Whether it be break dancing (very badly) to new wave in front of his classmates, spraying some poor peer or out of shape teacher with Anti-Ghost Goo, or something just as embarrassing. Did he mention spraying someone?

Danny dragged his feet out of his room, down the stairs, and all the way to the entrance of the lab. His mind was thinking of ways to tell his parents to keep it down so he could sleep in. It was SATURDAY for crying out loud!

He was about to open the door when his day-glow-orange jump-suited dad, Jack Fenton, opened the door in Danny's face. The poor kid was sent flying backwards a bit, slightly dizzy from the force his dad used to open the door.

"There you are Danny-boy!" Jack beamed happily, "Come on! We have something exciting to show you! It will change the world!"

Jack grabbed Danny and dragged him into the lab in a cartoonish fashion. Danny yelped as his dad barreled down the steps.

'Someone please kill me...' Danny thought.

In the lab, Maddie, Danny's blue jump-suited mother, was finishing checking all of the calculations, making sure they were correct this time and that the Ectofilter had purifier and not something like fudge (which she saw Jack almost put in on accident) in it. Everything was in the clear and was correct, thankfully. She was about to move all of the fragile stuff out of the way when Jack shot into the lab with Danny in tow. Jack accidentally knocked over some of the fragile objects with the way he was dragging in Danny.

"Jack!" Maddie scolded, "Danny is not a rag doll!"

"Sorry, Mads. I am just excited to show our son our greatest invention since college!" Jack said as he released Danny.

"I understand honey, but you can't throw the children around like that," Maddie said.

"So, what exactly did you want to show me this time?" Danny asked, praying it wasn't something that would mortify or embarrass him for life.

"See that over there, Danny?" Jack asked as he pointed to a large octagonal hole in the wall with cables and high tech interfaces attached to it.

"Yeah," Danny said, unimpressed so far by the fact he was being showed 'a fancy hole in the wall'.

"That, son, is the Fenton Portal! It will punch a hole into the ghost dimension, AKA the Ghost Zone, and allow us to see where the ghosts rest aside!" Jack said with enthusiasm.

That perked a small amount of curiosity in young Danny. Another dimension sounded something straight of science fiction. However, his parents were going to attempt to prove that you could go to another dimension. Too bad it had be part of their crackpot job of being ghost hunters.
