Danny Phantom The Reality Screwup

Chapter 4: Would You Like to Skate?

Author's Note: Greetings everyone. First off, I once again apologize for taking so long to write this. Part of the reason for this was writers block, but another was I wasn't certain how I was going to handle this next episode from the show. As you can see below, I finally decided how a few months ago. It just took me a bit to actually write it. Anyway, enjoy the chapter and see you down below.

Time seemed to fly by, as well as stand still, after the problems with the Ghost Lunch Lady were finished. Or that's what it seemed like to Danielle. There were times she felt things dragged on forever. Things like school or chores. But there were times that seemed to go by too fast. Like hanging out with friends or playing the new game she got for her computer recently. But whether the time dragged on or flew by, Danielle loved every minute of it. Sure, she still wanted to know what happened prior to the current events, especially with what happened to the Reality Gauntlet and such. But she wouldn't change her life now for the world. She had loving parents, caring siblings, and nice, caring friends.

She could have done without the ghost attacks though but having ghost powers was cool. Can't have everything your way through, can you?

Currently, it was a Wednesday evening and Danielle was sitting at her computer playing her copy of The Elder Scrolls Morrowind. Mostly it was to just pass the time until her meet-up with Zack tonight. She had promised him that she would go with him to the Amity Skatepark tonight and she always kept her promises. Of course, she had to tell her brother, Sam, and Tucker that she wouldn't be able to join them in their ghost hunting exercise tonight at the wharfs, but they understood. It helped that the trio seemed to take a liking to Zack. Something that Danielle was glad for.

She honestly was surprised how well the first meeting between Zack and the trio went. It had been a few days after the Ghost Lunch Lady had been dealt with when Danielle introduced Zack to the others at lunch. At first, at least to Danielle's eyes, it looked like Danny didn't seem to like the boy that much. To her, it seemed her brother thought that Zack was dangerous or something. But after the two got to talking, they discovered they had more in common then they initially thought. For one, Zack was a BIG space fan. Both fiction and non-fiction. The only thing about space Zack didn't like was he didn't really want to go to it. Something both her and Danny understood. Being an astronaut like Danny wanted to be, wasn't for everyone. Zack was also one of the biggest fans of the MMO, Doomed, much like Danny was. The two hit it off in sharing tips and tricks about the game. Even Tucker joined in that conservation. Danielle would have as well, but Danny and Tucker thought she didn't play. Or rather that she sucked at the game. Boy would they be surprised later.

Zack also had the same music tastes as Danny, and Danielle. Honestly, it seemed he just liked all types of music which his future goal helped prove. Zack wanted to be a musician when he grew up as they learned. All in all, the first meeting went well, and Dani was happy to officially accept Zack as a good friend in her friend group.

Back to the present, Danielle had a look of concentration on her face. "Come on... Come on," muttered Dani, as her fingers moved over her keyboard and mouse, "You can do it... Nerevarine. Let's beat this fool. They are only a god. They are nothing special."

After a few minutes, a sigh would escape Dani's lips. "Dang it," muttered Dani, "I lost to Dagoth Ur again! How am I supposed to beat him... It almost feels like he cheats... Hmmm..." Glancing at her computer's clock, Danielle added, "Oh shit. It's already 5:30! I'm going to be late meeting up with Zack!"

Pushing her chair back, Danielle would leap from her seat. Walking over to her bed, Danielle grabbed the pair of red sweatpants that lay there and pulled them on quickly. She then grabbed her wallet and house key from her desk, as well as her blue jacket from her computer chair. "Alright," said Dani, as she pulled on her jacket and zipped it up, "That should be everything. Let's get out of here."
