The Other Halfa Danny Phantom: The series

Splitting Images: Part 7

Danny and I wait for Sam to drag Sidney over to the locker and we grin to hear her shouting in the hallways.

"(y/n)! Come quick! A bully is shoving a poor, defenseless nerd inside his own locker!" 

"Tucker, I'll save you!" We hear Sidney shout before he points out,  "Hey, there's no nerd getting shoved inside his locker."

Walking up to Sidney, Tucker grabbed him with the Ghost Gauntlets and shoved him through the portal as he told Sidney, "There is now." 

Pulling Sidney back into his world I hiss at him, "Now, you've had your fun, now I want my body and my life back." 

Trying to punch me Pointdexter stated, "Forget it you bully! You're not going anywhere."

Danny snuck up behind Sidney and entered my body with me soon following behind, kicking him out of my body. But when I looked at the two boys they had somehow switched bodies and before I could do anything I was sucked back into our world because I was standing too close to the portal. Sam and Tucker helped me off the floor.

Pointdexter had taken over Danny's body now and went ghost, trying to get used to the new body as butt-kicked him into the wall.

"Ha, ha I'm doing it!" 

 Danny jumped out of the way as Pointdexter flew through the wall in an attempt to bodyslam him. 

"You may have my powers but you sure don't know how to use them! Of course, I don't know how to use them but at least I know how not to use them better than you do," Danny stated as Pointdexter tried to fly back into the room. 

Pointdexter repeatedly kept trying to hit Danny who just kept stepping out of the way of Pointdexter's slow punches as he continued teasing him.

"Now you wouldn't hit a gut with glasses...You couldn't hit a guy with glasses. In fact, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!" 

Pointdexter began to shout at Danny to hold still when all the students piled out into the hallway and began to watch the fight. 

"Hey get a load of Pointdexter! He's fightin' on one of the Halfas!" Some guy shouted as another shouted.

 "Yeah look at him stand up to that weird-haired ghost bully!"

"I'm not a bully!" Danny shouted before getting punched back into his locker. 

Walking up to the locker Pointdexter stated, "Now if you don't mind I'm gonna live it up some more in your world but this time in YOUR body." 

Danny came out of the locker holding the mirror above his head, threatening to shatter it. "One false move and I'll smash your door back to my world." 

"You wouldn't! You'd strand us both here," Pointdexter pointed out, pointing at Danny who only continued the threat.

"Try me." 

"I've got a better idea, I can make you. With your powers, I can make you do anything," Pointdexter smirks as he tries to overshadow Danny again.

"That's what I was hoping you'd do."

With that, Danny leaves Pointdexter's body and returns to his own before escaping back into his world while Pointdexter shouts at him, only to stop in his tracks when everybody starts treating him nicely.

"I'll get out of here Buster brown and when I do, you better watch it!" 

 "Hey, nerd! Nice job, standing up to one of the Halfas. Who thought you had it in ya? Wanna grab an egg cream?" 

Shutting his locker Pointdexter murmured to himself, "I guess I could hang here for a little bit. Hey, the heck with the Eggcream, who's up for a Diet soda? Whatever that is!"

We all watch in relief as Danny falls out of the locker, tripping Mr. Lancer in the process and the frogs he had caught hopping to their freedom

"Oh no, oh dear whatever will we do?" Sam asked sarcastically before complimenting Danny on a job well done. 

"Yeah, but how do we know you're really Danny?" Tucker asked suspiciously.

Looking down Danny began admitting to his mistake.

 "Because I took advantage of the situation, became exactly the kind of person I hate. It got me and (y/n) into a load of trouble because she stood up for me and I'm not gonna do that again."

 Smiling Sam quickly said, "Now that's the Danny we remember." 

"One more thing to do," Danny takes the mirror in the locker and throws it to the ground, smashing it to pieces.

 Sneaking up on Danny, I give him a surprise hug from behind shouting, "Danny, you're back! I'm back! Jeez, just we're back!" 

I began to snuggle my head closer to Danny and he reached up and grabbed my hand, which was wrapped around his neck. I couldn't believe Danny was holding my hand while giving me an adorable small smile! I could've stayed that way but stupid Lancer had to interrupt.

"Fenton! That's school property!" 

"I can explain...Actually, I really can't..." Danny tries to explain before realizing he can't.

"I'm holding you responsible for this and the escaped frogs! But seeing how upstanding students like Dash Baxter have made their opinions known...I'm willing to overlook the frogs. Miss Manson, you could learn a thing or two from them about activists. Still, that leaves the matter of your locker, I'm going to have to assign you a new one."

 Danny's new locker was near the band room and didn't stop Dash and Kwan from continuing to bully Danny.

"Hanging with band geeks Fenton?" 

"No amount of free sodas from your girlfriend is gonna fix that!" 

I rolled my eyes as Danny shouted that we weren't dating when a couple of kids walked up to us and introduced themselves.

"Hi, I'm Lyle wanna help me clean my spit vowel?" 

We both shuddered at the idea as Danny told me, "My fifteen minutes of popularity is up and I wasn't even here for it." 

Scoffing at Danny I tell him, "Yeah but you weren't even the popular one, I was and I'm glad that's over." 

"At least it wasn't a total loss, looks like this baby is gonna get some use after all. All thanks to your popularity."

"Wait what do you mean by that?" I ask, giving her a look as she shrugs and explains.

"Your popularity was a great way to get people to support my Save the Frogs campaign."

"So you used me for your selfish desires," I stated blankly as I gave her an unimpressed look while she gave me a nervous smile.

"Sorry, it was for a good cause."

"Just don't do it again," I sigh, shaking my head while she starts coddling the mechanical frog.

Suddenly the Box Ghost swipes it away from her grasp cackling. "I am no longer the Box Ghost, I am now the Mechanical Frog Ghost!" The frog begins short-circuiting, scaring him and causing him to drop it. "...I changed my mind, I am once again the Box Ghost who will have nothing to do with mechanical amphibians. Beware!"

As the Box Ghost flew away Danny said, "Now there's a guy who knows exactly who he is." 

"Well I know who you are Danny and I'm glad to have you back," I told Danny as I kissed him on the cheek and walked off, wanting nothing more but to go home and collapse into bed after the long day while Sam, Tucker, and Danny watched me go with slack jaws.
