When Paths Collide (Ben 10/ Danny Phantom)

Chapter Five

*Sorry for the late updates, guys. I've been crushed under homework and project dates :( Wish me luck && Ben's car from Ultimate Alien is in the media :)*

The next class passed in a blur for Danny.

Mainly because he wasn't awake for most of it.

No sooner did Sam and Tucker drag Danny out of their last class did they end up at the entrance of the school, accompanied by no other than Gwen and Ben.

Ben tightened his hold on his backpack strap, stuffing his free hand into his pocket. "If you guys don't have a ride, I have a car."

Gwen rolled her eyes, propping an elbow on Ben's shoulder. "It might be a tight squeeze, but we'll be able to do it." She smiled encouragingly.

Sam scowled, huffing in an annoyed tone as she slightly pushed Danny off of her, who was about to drool on her new shirt. "As long as it's not a piece of shit Bambi threw up, I'm good with anything."

Tucker, who was repositioning his hat on his head, elbowed Sam in the side. "Hey, that was a long time ago. My dad got rid of the Pug-mobile five years ago."

Sam returned the elbow, a bit harder than she intended it to be. "Yeah, but it doesn't excuse ruining my entire fifth grade year by being driven around in that thing."

Tucker narrowed his eyes at Sam, but was interrupted by Ben clearing his throat. "I think some of the traffic cleared up." He jabbed his thumb over his shoulder, towards the mostly empty parking lot. "We should get going."

Gwen nodded in agreement, looping her arm through Sam's with an excited smile. "I already have the entire project planned out."

Sam groaned under her breath, being yanked away from the curb, startling Danny awake, who almost fell face-first onto the concrete without his human crutch.

He turned, giving a sluggish wave to Tucker, who gingerly waved back before disappearing into the building.

Danny jogged after the group, -if you could call it jogging- managing to keep his feet under his body long enough to get to the car.
