*Takes place after Phantom Planet*

"Good morning, class. As shown on the blackboard, today's lesson will be about BLAH BLAH BLOO BLEH BLAH," Lancer droned on.

Danny wasn't fully paying attention to the lesson because he was up late again last night fighting ghosts. He thought that maybe since he saved both the human world and Ghost Zone from complete annihilation, he could at least be able to get a decent amount of sleep from now on but NO. Those ungrateful ghosts just kept coming.

Maybe if I just rest my eyes for a quick second, Danny thought as his head started to fall.

"Mr. Fenton, I do not appreciate you falling asleep in my class, again!" Lancer boomed making the sleepy teen jump in his seat.

A few snickers sounded from some of his classmates because of their teacher's pure ignorance.

"Sorry," Danny mumbled. "I was up late last night... Ya know, fighting ghosts, saving the town, being the world's hero..."

Lancer paled, completely forgetting about Danny's "occupation".

"Oh that's right, I always seem to forget. My sincerest apologies Mr.Fenton. If you would like to go to the nurse to rest, I can write you a pass?" Lancer suggested.

"Nah, I wouldn't be able to sleep anyways. Doris talks to much when I go down there," Danny replied.

"Okay then. Well, back the the lesson. You will all be paired up with a partner, and don't be looking around the room for your friend, or at Danny, because I have already chosen your partners for you." Lancer stated, earning groans from every student.

"Paulina will be with Star," the two girls squealed. "Mikey with Kwan, Dante with Eliza, Selma with Donna, Danny with Dash..." Danny's heart froze for a split second.

He wasn't scared so much of Dash anymore because as soon as everyone found out he was Danny Phantom, the bullying came to and end, but Dash became his number one fan. Constantly trying to hang out with him and be his best friend even though he bullied him for years prior.

He looked across the room to see Dash eyeing him expectantly.

Great. I used to worry about getting partnered with Dash because I was afraid he'd wail on me but now, he acts like a fangirl seeing their biggest idol which is an improvement but not by much, Danny thought.

"For this assignment, I wanted to do something, how do you say? Hip," Lancer said folding his arms trying to appear cool. "You and you're partner will be writing raps about your life or an event in it that changed you as a person, whether that be reading a life changing book, the friends you made, and so on. You will then perform your rap in front of the class against your partner and the class will vote on a winner just to 'pump up the volume' as you say."

What the heck am I supposed to do?! What event in my life has changed me as a person? I mean I was friends with Sam and Tucker for a while before... Oh duh! Danny thought.

"You have until Friday to have these done. Be creative and don't hold back those 'sick vibes, yo'," Lancer said.

Maybe this won't be so bad after all...

______________Friday______________

"Okay, class. I hope all your 'super cool' raps are ready for battle because today is the day!" Lancer said causing some kids to groan.

"First up will be Mikey and Kwan," Lancer announced.

The two got up to the front and began their "presentation". Kwan started, rapping about how life was like a football. It was round and some play know how to throw it whilst others just get smacked in the face and tackled to the ground. Mikey's rap was about quantum physics and how he's researching deeper into it and it's changing his life. Kwan won.

Next was Paulina and Star. Paulina rapped, or more chanted about how perfect her skin was and Star rapped about all her exes. Star was victorious that round.

A few more duos went before Mr. Lancer finally called up the two everyone was desperate to hear.

"Mr. Fenton, Mr. Baxter, you're up."

Danny made his way up to the front of the classroom. He had been relatively excited about this but now he was getting nervous.

I can do this. This is just rapping in front of a class. I've saved the whole world before, I'm fine... Danny thought, trying to calm down.

Dash went first, rapping about football and how it changes his life. Danny wasn't gonna lie, it wasn't terrible. But now, it was his turn. He cleared his throat with everyone's eyes on him, watching their hero with expectant eyes. Danny took a deep breath.

"Yo Danny Fenton he was just 14, when his parents built a very strange machine.
It was designed to view a world unseen,
he's gonna catch em all cuz he's Danny Phantom.
When it didn't quite work, his folks they just quit, but then Danny took a look inside of it.
There was a great big flash, everything just changed, his molecules got all rearranged!
Phantom, Phantom!
When he first woke up he, realized, he had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes.
He could walk through walls, disappear, and fly, he was much more unique than the other guys.
And it was then that he knew what he had to do, he had to stop all the ghosts that were coming through.
He's here to fight, for me and you!
He's gonna catch em all cuz he's Danny Phantom.
He's gonna catch em all cuz he's Danny Phantom.
Gonna catch em all cuz he's,
Danny Phantom."

Once he'd finished, everyone was silent. No one knew what to say until Dash just started clapping. Everyone in the class soon began clapping along with him and standing and cheering. Now the whole class was on their feet cheering him on.

"I guess that settles it. Danny is the winner!" Lancer announced causing even more cheers throughout the class.

After a minute or two, people started to quiet down and Lancer asked, "So that's how you got your ghost powers."

"Pretty much"
