My Ghostly Love (DannyxOC)

Chapter 5: Splitting Image

*A lot of POV switches*
Ava's POV
Sam, the boys, and I walked down Casper High's halls with 'Save the Frogs' boxes. This thing was really heavy and I hand no idea what was in it. Sam just asked me to carry it nothing more.
"So, why exactly are we breaking our backs here Sam?" Danny asked
"Yeah, and what are you even going to do with them," I added
"Frogs rights. We have to stop dissecting frogs in our school biology labs and at today's assembly I am going to demonstrate a humane alternative." Sam said tilting the box forward
"I can't believe it's not a frog cadaver?" Tuck questioned
Sam put the box on the floor and opened the top. She pulled out a robotic frog with red eyes. It was oozing with what I assume to be a frog slime replica.
"Ribbit, please remove my detachable three-chamber heart." It said
Suddenly Danny and my ghost sense went off. The box on the floor began to glow. I knew exactly who was going to show up. Green smoke burst out making a fountain. One of the frogs jumped up and onto Tuck's head. Right after the box ghost appeared.
"Oh great. Him again." Danny complained
"You or me," I asked
"I got it," Danny replied
"I am the box ghost, and I will have my corrugated cardboard vengeance!" Box ghost greeted
Danny changes to his ghost form while I lean against a locker. Sam is over trying to get the frog off of Tuck's head. Boxes are lifted into the air ready for attack, just as the frog is pulled off Tucker's face.
"Oh gross!" Tucker complained
"You guys get to the assembly. I'll get this moron sealed uptight." Danny demanded
Sam and Tucker ran off to the auditorium. Just as I was about to I looked back to make sure Danny would be ok.
Danny's POV
The box ghost raised scalpers out of the box throwing them at me. I went intangible as the hit the lockers behind me.
"Huh, maybe Sam has a point," I stated
Just as I finished my sentence the box ghost pushed me through the lockers. Going through multiple walls, I landed on the auditorium floor.
"Oops," I said
"Tremble before the might of the box ghost! As you are devoured by costumes and props from the Broadway classic 'My Fair Lady'!" He yelled
With that, he raised what was inside and threw it at me. A pile of close landed on near the curtain of the stage. Next thing I knew I was starting to stand up.
Ava's POV
I stood behind the curtain as Sam walked to the podium. I leaned against the wall with Tucker standing next to me. I personally never liked assembles and never want to be at one. This one is no different.
"Fellow students, something sick and disgusting is happening right here in our school, and I am about to show you what it is." Sam presented just as the curtains opened.
They revealed a save the frogs banister. The crowd was silent for a moment until they started laughing and pointing. I looked in the direction of there laughter to see Danny in a costume from the play 'My Fair Lady'. I tried to hold back my laughter but fail miserably.
"Woo hoo take it off," Tucker cheered as Sam and I glared at him. "No seriously he should take it off, that's weird"
"Weird but funny." I chuckled
*Time Skip*
"Thanks to your little dress-up parade my save the frogs presentation was a total bust!" Sam yelled
"Speaking of bust, did you see Danny in that bra? Peuce is not your color pal." Tucker stated
"It may not be his color but it was defiantly funny,"  I added chuckling as Danny glared at me to stop
"Yeah and now cause of the idiot Box ghost trashed my locker. I have been assigned a new one. Locker 724." Danny complained
Tucker and Sam gasped, leaving. Danny and I were confused. Tuck pointed behind us. Danny and I looked at the locker and then at one another confused.
"Guys, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."  Danny said jokingly
"Or something really scary we don't see every day," I added
"Hello? Locker 724? How do you two not know the legend of locker 724?" Tuck questioned
"Oh that stupid legend to scare freshman. Yeah like that things real." I sighed
"What's the. the big deal with 724." Danny said with the door open as he touched the mirror
Just then Das came behind Danny and smacked the wig and hat on his head. Leaving me annoyed.
"You left something behind Fenton!" Dash teased "Let's see if it fits in your new locker, with. you inside!"
With that Dash picked him up and shoved him in the locker. Afterward starting to walk away.
"You should pick on someone your size Dash!" I yelled
"That is never going to happen, but I think you should spend more time with the cool kids. If you ever change your mind the offer stands." He said walking away
I went back to the locker to help get Danny out of the locker.
"I was going to tell you the locker was cursed but I think you figured that out," Tuck commented. as Danny fell out and stood up
"I will show you a curse, cover me." He said pulling Sam and Tuck in front of him
I couldn't see him after that sadly due to my eyesight. Though with what just happened I assumed he went to Dash. Next thing I knew I could see Dash banging his head. against a locker and dunking his head in a mop bucket.
Now believe me not being able to see an intangible ghost when you are part one kind of sucks. Not only that but comes to a disadvantage.
Danny plopped down in front of us.   He walked over with a smirk. Though I was glad he did it I knew it wasn't right.
"Danny," Sam scolded
"Relax Sam It is about time you used that phantom advantage for some ghostly get-back." Tuck defended while Danny smiled.
He looked at me as I had a disappointed face on. His smile faded slightly and we all walked away.
*At home*
"How was school sweetheart?" Dad asked
"Oh, you know the usual boring and idiotic day," I replied
"So nothing interesting?" He asked
"No," I lied and started to walk away till a thought came to mind "Hey. dad?"
"Yes, sweetheart?"
"Do you have any notes on ghosts being able to see other ghosts while intangible?" I asked
"No sadly not anymore. I gave that page away to a friend in college. He needed it more than me at the time."
'A friend? In college?"
"Who is this friend?" I questioned
"If I remember correctly his name was Vlad Masters." He said
'Vlad Masters huh?'
"Ok, well thanks anyway," I said walking away
*Next Day**
"Hey leave him alone," I yelled
There was a jock standing next to a band kid. The other was on the floor. My stern face drove off the other jock. I went to get the band hat.
"Hey sorry about them. They are just no good jerks" I said softly
I handed him his hat and he thanked me as I walked away. As I walked in the halls, I spotted Danny walking to the cafeteria. Checking no one was around, I went intangible and snuck up on Danny.
"Hey, stranger," I said poping in front of him
"Hey." He said smiling and looked down at my lunch box "On the way to the cafeteria to?"
"Yeah want to walk with me?" I asked
"Always."
We walked the rest of the way chatting. I sat at our table with Sam when we got there and the boys got their lunches. Finally, they sat down, we overhear the 'popular' table talking about what seem to be hauntings. Danny sat there smirking.
"Someone has been busy," Sam said in a scolding tone
"It wasn't me I swear!" Danny defended
He got Sam's face and went intangible. Dash seconds after threw his food at Paulina. Danny then showed up back in the same place he was.
"Now that was me." He said proudly
"Danny I don't think you should use your powers like-" Sam cut off seeing Lancer "Lancer, I will be right back."
"She is right and please cut back on the intangible act you know I can't see you." I sighed as looked at me sympathetically
"Don't listen to them, Danny. It is about time someone struck a blow for Sydney Pointdexter." Tuck stated
"Sydney who-dexter?" Danny asked
"Oh, not this myth again." I sighed
"Sydney Pointdexter, locker 724 was originally owned by a Pointdexter back in the fifties. Poindexter was the victim of more cruel pranks than anyone in the history of Casper High School. Picking on him was a graduation requirement. He got stuffed into his locker so many times, it is believed his spirit still inhabits it to this very day." Tuck told
"Oh, you don't believe that do you?" I asked annoyed
"Oh yes, I sure do," Tuck replied
Just then Sam walked up with a box filled with frogs. We all looked at her confused.
"Sam, what are you doing?" Danny asked
"Nothing, certainly not trying to smuggle frogs out of the bio lab while Lancer isn't looking." She said warily
Danny and I looked at her angrily, at the fact she was technically stealing school property. Though I couldn't blame her the could have found a better way to teach the students than with live animals. Next thing I knew Danny was getting hit in the face with multiple steaks.
"Hey, guys, what do you say we 'meat' my new locker neighbor?" Dash teased
I saw Danny smack the meat off his face in anger. Quickly getting up I moved behind him to put my hand on his shoulder. He tensed up and turned to me.
"Easy Danny. Take it easy. No need to get violent. Be the bigger person." I said calmly which seemed to make him ease up
"You right Ave I—" He tried to say but got hit with a whole sub sandwich
"Enjoy your sandwich, neighbor." I heard Dash yell
"That's it!" Danny yelled
"Oh no," I mumbled
"I wonder how Dash would feel with a frog in his throat," Tuck said as I gave him the death glare
"Or 12 in his pants," Danny said looking at the box
"Oh, no. You not going to exploit innocent amphibians. For some juvenile revenge scheme." Sam protested picking up the box
Danny looked done with everything. At the point, I knew there was no turning back. Sure enough, I was right and I could see the glint in his eyes and smirk on his face.
*Time skip*
Danny's POV
I stood at the end of the hall with the box of frogs in my hands. Already in ghost form I turned intangible and flew over to shove the frogs in Dash's pants. The second I finished I he started wining and yelling 'ow' down the hall. I started to laugh till I could fall on the floor, but of course, didn't.
"Do you think that's funny, buster?" I heard a voice say and when I looked up I saw a kid around my age
"Huh, What? You can see me?" I questioned
"Yeah, that's right, bub. Now leave that poor kid alone." The kid said
"What? Oh. Oh, hahaha! Oh, man. That's good. Man do you ever have it backward." I laughed
"Don't hand me that jazz, Clyde. You the bully from where I am standing," he said sternly
"Uh, floating." I corrected
"Ok. Floating. Let's see how you like getting bullied." He said
The lockers opened up sending things flying out. The ghost eyes had turned red and at that moment I wished I had listened to Ava and Sam. The school supplies were flying at me so I went intangible.
"Look you don't understand." I defended
"I understand a bully when I see one." He insisted shooting beam out his eyes
He shoots me through the library and into another hall. I landed on the floor. Pushing myself back up, I went back to where I was. I reached Sam putting frogs in a box, just as who I now assume to be Pointdexter.
"There you go, little fella." Sam cooed
"Put an egg in your shoe and beat it bully." He said as became visible
Ava's POV
I was walking with Tucker when I heard some noise. Tuck went ahead but my ghost sense went off and I went find a good place to transform. At least not after hearing something I never thought I would hear.
"I am Sydney Pointdexter and wherever there is a single nerd in need, I shall be there."
Looks like Tuck was right and I need to give him and apologize. Once I reached the bathroom I flew my bag in my locker and went straight to the hallway. By the time I got there, they weren't there.
"Where did they go?" I asked Tucker
"Down there, Miss Skeptic," Tuck said smugly
"Yeah, yeah I get it I will apologize later," I said annoyed
I flew down to the boiler room of the school. Though by the time I got there the ghost was gone, from what I could see, and Danny was back in human form. Though he seemed off and that was all I needed to keep my guard up.
"Danny! What happened to Pointdexter?" I asked worried and he didn't respond "Danny?"
"Oh, him. He flew the coop. I made sure of it." He said oddly "Now let's skedaddle."
With that, he flew up and went intangible. I followed as much as could with not being able to see him. Though when I finally found him he was behind Tucker's tangible with his parents around.
"Uh, no ghost here, Mr. and Mrs. F." Tuck scarcely said
"Only a girl trying to create a diversion for her own needs," Lancer added
"Right. Right. No ghost here." Sam continued with that the adult ran off and I went tangible
"Watch it, Danny. Your parents almost caught your intangible." Tuck whispered
I went to go change back away from what seemed like Danny, but as I pasted I could have sworn I saw a smirk. To my convenience, my brothers were around the corner.
"Hey, can you guys cover me while I change back? Long story short, I think there is something up with Danny and I would rather not change in front of him." I asked
"No problem," Pip said
"Just be careful. The Fentons are around here searching for ghosts." Damian warned
"Will do," I replied
With that, I changed back and went to find the others. Keeping an eye on 'Danny' was going to be hard with no ghost changing.
Danny's POV
I started walking down halls of what seemed to be Casper High, but older. Kids were standing by lockers talking.
"Where am I? It's like I dropped into grandpa Fenton's yearbook." I exclaimed
"Hey, Pointdexter. You got a spot on your shirt." Said this buff almost like Dash but with black hair as he hit my nose and flung it up "Ha! Made you look."
I held my nose and turn as he walked away. Everyone was laughing and my misery. Next thing I knew I was being tripped when I went to walk away.
"Have a nice trip Pointdexter. See you next fall." A girl yelled and walked away
As I lay on the ground someone grabbed my pants and gave me a wedgy. This in turn caused me to scream.
"I hope you know there's a dress call Pointdexter?" Another guy teased
Ripping the underwear off my head I ran to the exit. When I opened the door it leads straight into the ghost zone.
"I got to get out of here," I screamed
Ava's POV
"Spiff diddly de man. So this is what it's like to have friends." 'Danny' said excitedly
"This shouldn't be anything new for you, Dan. We have been friends since the first grade." I said skeptically
"You sure you're all right, Danny?" Sam asked but he wasn't paying attention like before
"Danny" Tuck added
'This is not our Danny.'
"Oh, me? Uh, right. I'm right like Ike Mike." 'Danny' reassured
"Why does your voice sound so weird?" Sam asked
"And why are you talking like you from the fifties?" I continued
"Uh, puberty?" 'Danny' pondered
"What happened to Pointdexter?" Tuck asked
"Oh, that square? He flew the coop, permanent like." 'Danny said confidently and walked away leaving us behind
I watched as he walked to Dash. Not a hint of anger across his face. Which is strange considering how much Dan hates him.
"Come on give me my soda!" Dash yelled pounding at the vending machine
"Hey, let me help you out there, pal." 'Danny' offered as I looked at him shocked
"Wait, what!?" I said
'Danny' stuck his intangible hand in the vending machine. Searching around as he concentrated, he finally got what he was looking for. The can came out and Dash began to drink it.
"Thanks, Fenton." Dash smugly said
"Eh, no problemo." 'Danny said
"What are you going through puberty?" Dash questioned
'How dumb can someone be.'
It seemed like Sam and Tuck thought the same. We all stared at him dumbfounded, then at one another.
"Uh, you know, I'm a little tight on quarters. Think you can get a few more sodas for me and my pals?" Dash asked
"Haha. You betcha." 'Danny' chuckled pointing at Dash and winked
Right after he did that same thing he did earlier to get more sodas. The sodas fell out and he went to pick them up. I looked over and could tell Sam was about to say something, and I was right.
"Danny, that's stealing." Sam objected
"I'm sure that poor kid lost more than his fair share of quartes to the vicious bullies in this school. It is time somebody evened the score." He defended
As he said that he was looking right at us. I could see his normal ocean blue eyes were no longer blue. They were a dark foggy grey. This in turn further confirmed what I already knew from the start.
"Hey, everybody egg creams on me." he continued
"I don't know what the heck an egg cream is. But thanks!" Kwan said
"Well, this is new," Sam said
"You can say that again," I added
Danny's POV
"This is how I came in. There's got to be a way back." I pondered touching the mirror in the locker
The mirror started to glow and my locker door on the other side opened. I could see soda's being thrown at everyone. The person throwing the soda was Pointdexter in my body.
"Here's to Fenton!" I heard Dash yell as everybody else cheered
"What the heck?" Just as Sam, Tuck, and Ava walked by looking annoyed "Tucker! Sam! Ave! It's me— Danny!"
I screamed hoping they would hear me and to my surprise, Ava turned around confused, but before I could get her attention some more Poientdexter slammed the door, knocking me back.
"Hey, poientdexter. What's black and blue and can't touch the floor? Ha!" A guy asked
"I...give up." I scarcely said as he lifted me off the floor
"You!" he continued as he punched me in the face
Ava's POV (Sorry for the constant switching)
We stood out in the football field watching as 'Danny' went to play. He raced off to get in play position. As I watched they started to play, but as usual, I got bored with football. I began to look and the ground hoping for something more interesting. To my surprise the was a green light writing on the ground.
'Tucker, Sam, Ava, OPEN LOCKER 724'
I looked over at Sam and Tucker to see if they saw it. To my surprise they weren't paying attention to it and were cringing at the fact 'Danny' was going to get pummeled. I decided to leave them behind and ran to the locker. Once I reached the locker, I looked it up and down searching for anything suspicious. The locker door suddenly opened revealing Danny's school stuff and a mirror with the ghost of Poientdexter in it. The ghost had bright green eyes just like Danny in his ghost form, but right now eyes are not going to confirm it is him.
"Ava! oh, thank god you are here. Poientdexter took over my body and now I am stuck in here." 'Pointdexter said
"Yeah, ok. How do I know it is you? Not saying I am doubting you but I need to be sure." I asked
"When we were little every time you got scared you would cling to me, so I could protect you." He explained
"And look who needs protecting now, Fenton," I said smugly
"So you believe me" He quizzed
"Of course. What do I need to do?" I asked
"Ava, who are you talking to," Sam questioned
"Look for yourself." I gestured to the locker and backed away as they walked up
"Poientdexter?" Sam asked puzzled
"No, it's me— Danny. Poientdexter took over my body and sent me into this bizarro spirit world." Danny explained frantically
Sam and Tuck seemed done with it. They looked at each other and I knew what was going to happen.
"Prove it" Sam demanded as they both crossed there arms
"In second grade Tucker threw-up in your lunch box, but he told you Ricky Marsh did it." Danny persisted make Tuck get scared and leave Sam in shock
"What? I kicked him off the monkey bars for that! It was you?" Sam yelled then the realization hit
"Danny?" Tucker and Sam said in unison
We all looked in the mirror to see Danny. We watched as he struggled to push through the other side.
"The mirror acts as some kind of portal, but I can't faze through it. Oh. Serves me right. I'm only here because I was acting like a bully. Now I'm in here and I'm gonna get bullied for the rest of eternity!" Danny screamed frantically
"Dan, calm down we are going to get you out. For now, just stay calm." I said in a soothing tone which seemed to calm him
"You might not be able to get out, but that doesn't mean Pointdexter can't get back in," Sam suggested
"I doubt he's in a big hurry to go back where he came from." Tuck countered
"I know how to get him in here. Here's what you need to do." Danny explained
*Time skip*
"Danny! Come quick! A bully is shoving a poor defenseless nerd inside his locker." Sam acted
"Tucker! I'll save you!" Pointdexter yelled transforming
I stood beside tucker as he stood there casually. His hands behind his back with the Fenton gloves on them.
"Hey, no nerd is getting shoved inside his locker." Pointdexter sighed as Tuck walked to him showing the gloves and grabbing him
"There is now," Tuck replied pushing him in
"No!" He screamed
Danny's POV
I struggled to pull him through the mirror. Finally pulling him in he landed on the floor with me towering over.
"You've had your fun. Now I want my body and my life back." I demanded
"Forget you, bully! You're not going anywhere." He said sternly then flew towards me
As he was flying in the air, he turned around and hit me in the face with my butt. I slammed into the wall sliding down to the floor. He came flying to me once again and an awkward stance.
"Ha Ha! I'm doing it!" He yelled then went intangible through the wall
"You may have my powers, but you sure don't know how to use them. 'Course, I don't know how to use them, but I know how not to use them better than you do." I ranted just as he came back through the wall
He went tangible and tried to hit me again, but I dodged. Then I got a smug idea.
"You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses." I said as he attempted to hit me "You couldn't hit a guy with glasses."
He tried again with another punch. "In fact, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!" I teased
"Hold still." He demanded
I heard the bell ring and students started to pour out of classes. When the students got out a crowd started to form. They began to chant fight. I gave a smug look while Poientdexter attempted to hit me, but I kept dodging.
"Hey! Get a load of Pointdexter. He's fighting one of the Halfa's" I heard some guy say in the crowd
"Haha! Look at him stand up to that weird-haired ghost bully." Another guy said
"I am not a bully!" I angrily yelled as I got hit in the face so hard it put me in a locker
"Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna live it up some more in your body." Pointdexter said as I opened locker 724 holding the mirror "What?!"
"One false move and I smash your door back to my world." I threatened
"You wouldn't. You'd strand us both here." He pondered
"Try me," I replied sternly as he went to try and grab it from me
"I've got a better idea. I can make you. With your powers, I can make you do anything." He said faze through me
'That's what I was hoping you'd do.'
As he continued to overshadow me. I took this as my chance to get my body back. I flew out to the roof of the school as he stood up from the floor.
"No!" He screamed
I flew back through the mirror into my world. I dropped out of the locker onto someone. I heard ribbiting and a thud.
"No, come back!" I heard Lancer scream
"Oh, dear. Whatever will we do?" Sam sighed
"Good one Danny!" Ava cheered as I sulked over to them
"Yeah. But how do we know you're Danny?" Tuck asked
"Because I used my powers for the wrong reason and became exactly the kind of person I hate. It got me into a load of trouble and I'm not gonna do it again." I replied sadly
"Don't worry Danny. You haven't had these powers for long and you are still learning. You're bound to make mistakes. I mean trust me I already have." Ave reassured making me feel better
"Now that's the Danny I remember," Sam added
Ava walked up to my locker and grabbed the mirror. She gave it a once over and began to speak.
"Just one more thing to do." She said smashing the mirror on the ground in front of us
"Fenton, White. That's school property." Lancer sternly said with the whole school behind him covered in Sam's save the frog stuff
"We can explain!" I started then got elbowed by Ava
"We really can't" She added
"I'm holding you responsible for this and the escaped frogs, but seeing how upstanding students like Dash Baxter have made their own opinions known, I'm willing to overlook the frogs. Miss Manson, you could learn a thing or two from them about activism. Still, that leaves the matter of your locker. I'm going to have assigned you a new one." Lancer ranted directing the last part to me
*Time skip*
I slammed my new locker door next to the band room. This didn't rally bother me but it wasn't ideal due to the passing noise.
"Looks like we are new locker neighbors," Ava said brightly at me as she shut her locker door making me smile
'I guess this isn't so bad'
"Hanging with the band geeks Fenton?" I heard Kwan say behind me
"No amount of free soda is gonna fix that," Dash added
They walked away leaving Ava pissed at the band comment. Right after they left two other kids came up to me.
"Hi, I am Lyle. Want to help me clean the spit valve?" The kid named Lyle asked as I sighed and turned to Ava
"My 15 minutes of popularity is up, and I wasn't even here for it." I wined
"Just remember Dan. Popularity isn't everything." Ava reminded
"Yeah well, at least it wasn't a total loss. Looks like this baby is going to get some use after all." Sam said appearing out of nowhere with a robotic frog
Next thing we knew Sam's frog was taken out of her hands by the box ghost. Ava sighed annoyed with his attempts.
"I am no longer the box ghost. I am now the mechanical frog ghost!" He cheered before the frog started to fry out and he dropped it on Tucks head
"I, uh, changed my mind. I am once again the box ghost, who will have nothing to do with mechanical amphibians. Beware!" he screamed and flew away
"Now, there's a guy who knows exactly who he is," I commented getting a laugh from Ava
