Danny Phantom One Shots

Costume Party

*Takes place after Phantom Planet*
________________________________

Halloween. A time of scary movies, candy, and high school costume parties where most people come dressed as something lame or a slutty version of an animal. This year, however, the Fentons were hosting the annual Casper High Halloween party instead of Dash.

Danny had been up all night but not because he was fighting ghosts, contrary to popular belief, but because he was making his costume for the party. He was so determined to win this year and he thought he might actually have a chance considering everyone knows his secret after he saved the world from the disasteroid a few months ago.

Ever since then, the paparazzi have been constantly storming his house and school trying to get shots of the world's hero even though all he was doing was eating a bowl of cereal or something. He was also being treated differently at school. A lot differently. Teachers are all way more lenient with him when he doesn't do his homework now that they know he was up all night fighting ghosts and couldn't do it. Students always stared at him in awe in the hall and in the classroom. The A-Listers tried to enlist him into their group but Danny declined because he was more than content with his two friends. Dash stopped bullying him but now apologizes every time he sees Danny because he felt awful for having bullied his hero for so long.

Danny's life was way different but he was happy. The only thing that could make him happier however was that if he won this costume contest.

As Danny finally stitched the final piece of his costume together with a huge sigh of relief, he glanced at his clock to see it read 7:58.

Shit shit shit shit shit shit shit shit! I'm gonna be late to school! Danny thought as he frantically changed out of his clothes from yesterday and put on a fresh pair of jeans and clean t-shirt.

Once he was dressed, he grabbed his bag and a white ring appeared around his waist as he transformed into his ghost form and flew through his bedroom wall to get to school.

"Dude, you look terrible. What ghost was it this time?" Tucker asked Danny he phased in through the window just as the bell rang and he sat down causing some students to get very excited at the spectacle.

"Oh, hehe, uh, it was actually... The Box Ghost. Wouldn't leave me alone. I didn't get any sleep," Danny lied... Well, partially.

"Why didn't you just call us?" Sam piped in having listened in on the conversation.

"Guess I didn't think anything of it," Danny replied shrugging. He earned weird looks from the two but blew it off when Lancer began talking.

The school day pretty much flew by and most teachers couldn't capture the students attention because everyone was shaking in anticipation for the big Halloween Party at the Fenton's.

The bell rang signaling the end of the school day and students rushed out the doors as if they were being smoked out, all of them running home to most likely add the final few touches to their costume for the much anticipated party later on in the evening.

"My costume didn't turn out really how I planned, but ya know, it'll work," Tucker said as he caught up to Danny and Sam, making their way out of the school among the chaos.

"What are you this year, Tuck?" Danny asked.

"I tried to make a PDA costume but I just look like another box that the Box Ghost wouldn't even want."

Danny couldn't help but chuckle, not only because of his best friend's humor, but the fact that there was more of a chance that he had this contest in the bag.

"Well I am going dressed up as Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany and the most powerful woman in the world," Sam chimed in, appearing confident.

Danny just smirked, not wanting to share his costume yet because he wanted it to be a surprise and be able to blow everyone away.

The trio made their way back to Fentonworks and opened the front door to find the inside completely decked out with Halloween decorations of all sorts. Bats, spiders, cobwebs, etc. were hanging everywhere and there was music playing with the lights dimmed and a dog machine pumping an eerie mist into the house.

"Wow... This is very... extra," Danny said, capturing his mother's attention who was putting a bowl of fruit punch on the table full of food that looked very Halloween-ish.

"Why thank you sweetie! We've spent hours trying to make it perfect! Now, leave the rest of the setting up to us and go up and get dressed. People will be arriving shortly."

Danny led Tucker and Sam up to his room where they'd all get dressed, except for Danny. He was still waiting.

After an hour or so of chatting in Danny's room, people started arriving and Sam and Tucker made their way downstairs per Danny's request. Soon, most everyone had shown up so Danny finally decided to put on his costume.

Once it was finally on, he marveled at himself in the mirror, admiring his work. He then willed two blue rings to form around his waist, causing him to turn into his ghost half as the split over his body, and turning his costume the opposite colors, just the way he wanted it.

He then went invisible and quickly flew downstairs, turning off the music and lights causing everyone to quickly become quiet and slightly frightened. Danny made his way to the top of the stairs then shot an ecto blast out of his finger and turned on the lights and music causing all eyes to focus on him.

Talk about an entrance.

Everyone gawked at his getup practically already deciding he won the contest.

Danny was wearing a black jumpsuit, but it had green accents and armor decorating it with a white cape flowing graciously behind him. His infamous DP symbol was a bright green and had a matching belt. His snow, white hair and cape waved in the nonexistent wind and his muscles were accentuated with white outlines.

Standing before everyone, he looked like a god. His costume was so perfect and everyone was shook beyond compare.

"Well shit, guess there is no contest to be held. The winner is DANNY FENTON... er DANNY PHANTOM!! Ya know, same difference..."
