Bella

"Isabella! The car broke again!" Fuggs screamed as I visibly winced. I quickly put on a pair of coveralls and got to work. It was about 5AM so I had less then an hour to fix this and get to school. The girls are staying home today because they have doctors appointments.
I had just finished by 6:15 and I bolted out the door with my bag and half assed lunch.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" I exclaimed out of breath as I entered the classroom.
"Take a seat... I hope this doesn't happen  again... is that grease on your face?" The science teacher asked as I nodded.
"The car broke down again and I had to fix it..." I sighed slouched in my seat.
"You know how to fix cars?" He asked doubting me.
"My dad taught me how when I was 6 until he... passed." I explained sadly as Danny ran his hand up and down my back in a soothing way. I gave him a small smile as I pushed my hair up into a ponytail.
"Happy birthday Bella..." Danny said as he leaned over to give me a long box with a bow on it.
"You didn't have to..." I said as I wiped me tears away.
"We wanted to." he smiled as I cocked my head sideways.
"Sam, Tucker and I. There's more with that, you can open them at lunch." He explained as the teacher started to yell at the poor kid at the board.
"If the next kid can't answer this question, you all get F's!" The teacher sneered. I raised my hand.
"I volunteer as tribute." I said with 3 fingers in the air.
"Fine Miss Tribute, make this scientific equation balanced." He growls as I move toward the board and write; 2H2O+4Si+Pb --> 4SiH+PbO
The teacher gaped as I bowed and returned to my seat.
"By the way that's called combination." I answered smartly.
"Tell me what it means then!" He grinned.
"2 Dihydrogen Monoxide plus 4 Silicon plus Lead equals 4 Silicon Hydrogen plus Lead Oxygen." I smiled brightly at the teacher as he looked at me baffled.
"Nice job princess, how about you help me with homework and the we can..." I raised my hand to silence him.
"How about no...?" I said sweetly as I turned around to face Danny, Sam, and Tucker.
"How on Earth?" Sam gaped as I explained how easy it actually is.

*time bounce to lunch*

"You can open mine now..." Danny blushed. I unwrapped the box to find a rose gold bracelet with a snowflake on it.
"It's beautiful Danny, thank you." I bubbled as he put it on my wrist.
"Here. Happy birthday Bella." Tucker said as he handed me a small box.
"Thank you Tucker." I smiled as I opened the little box to reveal a cat charm. I pursed my lips as a grin broke it's way out.
"This one you'll have to open when we get out of school though." Sam explained as she handed me a little black box with bright green stripes on it. I nodded and gave them all a hug as I wiped a tear from my eye. The bell rang as we headed to gym. Sam and I entered in the girls locker rooms as Paulina and her barbie doll minions hogged the mirrors. I quickly changed as Sam came out in a sports bra and leggings.
"I never thought that you would ever wear that..." I giggled as she pulled out the hand book.
"We have to wear this... its something about people overheating." She explained as I pulled my tank top off frowning at my body.
"Bella! How do you have a 6 pack?!" Sam exclaimed as we walked into the gym. I blushed as I tightened my ponytail.
"I run every morning and go to the gym every night."
"Why?"
"I need to be in shape for ice skating regionals next month." I replied with a sigh as the gym teacher told us to run 3 laps around the gym. I took off as Sam, Danny, and Tucker followed.
"So, you're a skater?" Danny asked as I simply nodded.
"If you don't like skating, why do you do it?" Tucker asked.
"I love skating. It makes me feel free, beautiful. It's really something I can feel achieved in. It's tiring, yeah, but it's something no one can push me in. It's my thing." I explained as a small smile made its way to my lips. We finished the three laps as the coach handed out slips.
"We're going to the ice skating rink tomorrow, so all classes are excused." The burly man said as he looked pointedly at me.
"And since we have a champion skater right here, she will teach us some tricks." He announced as my face turned red.

*time skip to the end of the day*

"You can sleep on the sidewalk!" Fuggs hollered as I winced and walked away. I wrapped my arms around my body as I walked teary eyed to the Fenton's front door. I knocked twice as Danny's happy face turned to worry. He told me to come in.
"Hey... weird question but would you mind if I stayed here tonight?" I asked softly as his mother came in.
"Stay forever if you'd like... our home is your home." The sweet woman cooed as she gave me a motherly hug. I basked in her kindness as she wiped away my tears and handed me some Pjs.
"Jazz said you can have them. They don't fit her anymore." Maddie said as she showed me to a bathroom to get dressed. It has cat puns all over it. I smiled as I hugged myself and walked out.
"How does it fit honey?" Maddie asked as I smiled.
"Perfectly, Thank you." I smiled as Jazz dragged me to the kitchen.
"Have some food, you look starving." She said as she stared at me. I gave her a small smile as Danny came to my rescue.
"Jazz, leave her alone... be a good sister and go to your room." Danny laughed.
"Fine! But she sleeps in your room!" Jazz said as Danny and I blushed a deep scarlet. He groaned as his head flopped onto the table.
"Are you ok?" I asked trying to suppress a smile as I softly rubbed his forehead. He smiled as I took my dishes to the sink and cleaned them.
"You really don't have to do that..." he said as he lightly pulled my hands away. I looked up to see his ocean blue eyes as he pulled me away from the sink.
"Do you wanna see something cool?" He asked as I tried desperately to tear my eyes away from his. He wrapped his hand around mine and pulled me downstairs. My eyes widened as Danny's hair turned white, his eyes turned green, and his clothes changed to a jumpsuit like outfit with a D in the middle of his chest.
"Danny?" I whispered as he floated to the ground to hold my hands.
My mouth gaped as he showed me some of his powers. He made a small ice sculpture, then turned to me. He smiled as he got closer, he put two of his fingers under my jaw and softly closed my mouth. As soon as he shut my mouth I felt a pair of soft lips caress mine. My eyes shut as he pulled me closer and soon our lips were moving in sync. Sadly, stupid air wanted to be back in our lungs. We parted to catch our breath but our foreheads were still connected.
"Bella, I-" Danny started only to get interrupted by someone calling his name.
"Danny Phantom, you are the new king of the ghost zone!" A giant eyeball said as I shrieked and hid behind Danny.
"Observent? Where's Clockwork?" Danny asked as the 'Observent' pointed behind him.
"Clockwork? What's going on?" He asked the ever changing blue man.
"We must talk... who is she!?" An observent hollered as I gripped Danny's arm.
"Hello, my dear. I am Clockwork, you must be Miss Bella Day." The man said changing to his toddler form. I nodded peeking over Danny's shoulder.
"Come you two, we have much to discuss." The man said as he changed again to a middle aged man.
"But she's not a-!" The eyeball started before Clockwork stopped him.
"She's fine." He ended as Danny swiftly scooped me up in his arms and flew me into the green swirly portal thingie. We followed Clockwork to a large castle, as he explained what was going to happen.
"Danny, we had already known about your arrival, but she was a surprise. I didn't know you had a girlfriend?" Clockwork said as he opened the huge door.
"I didn't." He said simply as I rolled my eyes. "Is this all ours?" Danny asked as I face palmed. "What?" He asked.
"Do you not see all the banners?" I retorted sassily as Clockwork laughed.
"She's right you know, but yes, this is all yours, maybe hers if you decide on her as your queen." He replied softly as I choked.
"Whoah, hold on. We're only 17, we still have school, and-" I ramble until Danny shuts me up with a soft kiss to my lips.
"Slow down Bella, we haven't even heard their offer yet." Danny soothed as I narrowed my eyes at him.

"King and princess now, and after the wedding, king and queen!" The eyeball ghost exclaims as the others nod in agreement.
"You morons, they are children, they have families and the need to graduate from high school." Clockwork sassed as I suppressed a smile. Clockwork takes Danny and I into the hall to tell us what he thinks we should do.
"So, basically what you're saying is that Danny and I should comply with this, but under circumstances? First of all, I'm not even a ghost, second, if we would do this we need to set some foundation first." I argued as Clockwork urged me to go on.
"The first thing should be that we don't take the thrones until after we are both 19. Prince and princess, fine, but king and queen can wait until we've at least finished high school." I continued as Clockwork nodded agreeing with my statements.
"Let's start with this, and if change is needed, we'll go forward from there." Clockwork purposed as we headed back inside.
After chatting for a few hours, we had finally reached a verdict. All the observents agreed with us as I debated with them weather or not it would be wise to have two 17 year olds reigning over the ghost zone when it's already, from gossip, in peril.
Clockwork soon took us home and reset the clock so we could get some sleep. I fell asleep in Danny's bed nestled in his arms.
