História Danny Phantom Reveal Scenarios - Truth or Dare

"Damn man. You look terrible!" Tucker exclaimed worryingly as Danny and his friends walked to their next period class, forcing their legs to continue the long journey.

Danny was indeed exhausted. After the box ghost managed to escape him three times and Skulker came back with new weapons, he barely got any sleep. All Danny wanted to do right now was ditch school and take a well-deserved nap. To make things worse, he didn't finish the literature assignment Mr. Lancer had assigned to him two days ago. He was sure that his typical excuse wouldn't work this time.

"Jeez, thanks Tuck. That makes me feel so much better," Danny sarcastically said, earning a comforting hand squeeze on his shoulder by Sam.

"Look at the bright side, Danny! We can get to class earlier this time!" The goth brightly stated, trying to cheer up the half-ghost boy.

Although that fact was assuring, Danny knew it wouldn't last long. It never does. He was one hundred percent sure that a ghost would have to interrupt the moment of tranquility he barely got these days.

"I doubt it. I'm going to try to be more positive though. I got three detention slips by Mr. Lancer this week alone! Doesn't he have better stuff to do than torturing his students? And the thing I hate the most is that guys like Dash get away with stuff like this all the damn time. Like, I'm sorry for protecting this town from ghosts," Danny grumbled angrily, sighing as he took out his books from his locker.

"Why don't you tell everyone your secret then? Wouldn't teachers be more lenient with you and gain respect from our classmates?" Tucker asked as the group walked to class, ignored by the rest of the students.

"Um, hello?! The guys in white chasing the ghost boy every chance they get? My parents wanting to rip me apart molecule by molecule? I'm honestly surprised with myself that I haven't required therapy yet. Do you guys even know the feeling where your parents want to get rid of you? Every. Single. Day," Danny exclaimed as a blue mist suddenly escaped his mouth, earning a sigh from his two best friends.

"So much for arriving early to class today," Sam murmured as Danny signaled to them to head to class without him and he quickly dashed to the washroom. As he was about to open the door, a certain buff blond bumped into him.

"Watch it, fenturd," Dash snarled, earning a tired sigh from Danny as he ran into an empty stall. He stopped himself from yelling out his battle cry and forced the blue rings to form around his waist, transforming him from top to bottom. Once Danny was sure that nobody was in the washroom, he turned invisible and slipped by the bathroom door.

Danny searched down the busy hallways when suddenly, the bell rang and the students scattered to their homerooms. The halls were now empty, not a ghost in sight. Danny decided to just go back to class after seeing that there wasn't a ghost nearby so he wouldn't get yelled at when suddenly, he's hit by an ectoplasmic gun.

"Long time no see, whelp!" a familiar voice growled, slight amusement in his voice. Danny turned around, holding his bruised shoulder from the sudden impact.

Great. Just what I needed, Danny mentally said before shooting an ectoplasmic ball back at one of Skulker's mechanic wings. Didn't he try destroying me yesterday? How much time does he have in his hands?

"Brought new weapons this time?" Danny asked dryly as they continued to fight, the atmosphere getting thicker by the minute. Skulker then used one of his new weapons to target Danny with a high energy shot. This caused Danny to crash onto the science classroom door, his shoulder coming in contact with the heavy door.

"I'm glad you noticed. I've added some new features to it in just a day. Like it?" Skulker asked smugly, ready to deliver another blow when Danny quickly turned invisible before striking him from behind, destroying yet another newly designed weapon.

"Did Technus update it for you? It's so 1.0," Danny smirked as Skulker glared, trying to get a hold of himself when he's suddenly sucked into a familiar thermos.

"Thanks, Tuck, for the save! I didn't know how much longer I can take him, I'm exhausted! How did you manage to get here anyway? You have class!" Danny questioned, earning a grin by Tucker.

"I asked for a bathroom pass, it wasn't hard. I wasn't going to leave you to fight that crazy ghost hunter alone man. Speaking of which, Mr. Lancer is in a bad mood today. You better take a minute or two to think of a good excuse," Tucker stated seriously as he left, heading to the washroom before tossing Danny the thermos.

Danny quickly caught it and floated back to the ground, transforming back to his human self. He stuck the thermos in his backpack and took a moment to think about the situation he's in.

What crud luck. I'm tired, Skulker managed to fire a hard shot on my right shoulder, and I don't have an excuse as to why I'm late, Danny grumbled mentally to himself, before heading to his classroom.

Danny reluctantly entered the room, facing his bored classmates. Some were fidgeting with their school supplies while others were throwing paper balls just to annoy their friends. Danny made eye contact with Sam for a brief second before turning to face an angry-looking teacher.

"Mr. Fenton, would you care to explain to me as to why you're late to class for the third time this week?" Mr. Lancer asked, his voice laced with annoyance. Danny opened his mouth to defend himself then closed it, hoping an idea would suddenly pop in his head. To make things worse, the whole class was quiet now, some whispering while others watching attentively.

"I-um well, you see, I was walking in the hallway when there was a ghost attack and this ghost hunter- and Phantom appeared. I couldn't move because I was blocked and they were fighting furiously and all so..." Danny explained, making sure to leave the unnecessary bits out. The thing that makes this story so believable is that there was an actual ghost attack in the school and he has the dents by the science room to prove it.

Mr. Lancer sighed, somewhat tired from everything and Danny stared at him, not able to blame him. The class was a mess and everybody was fooling around. If he didn't make a move now, Mr. Lancer's was going to snap and the blame would be put on him.

"Mr. Fenton, this is your last warning-"

"Hey, I'm sorry- I won't be late tomorrow, or ever actually but like you know, can't prevent accidents that were meant to happen. Anyway, consider a change to happen starting Monday," Danny stuttered and hurriedly scurried to his desk in the middle. Or starting never, he added mentally.

Sam gave him a glance asking 'Are you okay?' as Danny nodded, silently signaling her that everything's been taken care of. A couple of minutes passed by and Tucker got back to class, taking his seat beside Danny's.

Mr. Lancer got back to his lesson, talking about Shakespeare and one of his stories as Danny yawned, clearly not interested. Tucker then leaned towards Danny's desk, eager to ask him a question that's been on his mind for a long time.

"Hey. How did it go with Mr. Lancer?" he whispered to Danny.

"Not that bad actually. I expected him to lash out on me but he surprisingly just gave me a warning," Danny whispered back, as Tucker sighed, looking at the board solemnly.

"Not for long."

"Wait, why-" Danny whispered confused, turning to look at where Tucker was staring. The realization then dawned on him when Mr. Lancer started talking about the homework due today. Danny didn't finish his, so he quickly grabbed the blank crumpled sheet from his purple backpack and started answering the questions quickly. However, they weren't easy and seeing that Danny didn't read the story, he had no idea how to answer them.

He then felt a gentle poke on his right and turned to face Sam, who was waving her sheet of paper in front of him.

"Here. Copy mine-" and just when she was about to hand him the completed homework paper, Mr. Lancer strolled by his row, eyeing him curiously.

"Mr. Fenton, may I have your homework paper please?" he asked as Danny sighed, knowing he won't be getting out of this quickly. Nervous as ever, he was about to hand him the crumpled piece of paper when he realized he doesn't even have his name on it. All there was, was a numbered list where the answers were supposed to go while everything else on the sheet seemed blank and had pencil stains caused by hand smudges. Too embarrassed, he came up with the simplest excuse.

"Well, I did do it but I forgot it at home. I'll make sure to give it to you by the beginning of Monday," Danny said as Mr. Lancer sighed tiredly, glaring at the boy.

"Mr. Fenton, this is unacceptable! You've been failing your studies, coming in late and not finishing your homework. What's the meaning of this? Some might say you have a second life or something," Mr. Lancer exclaimed, unimpressed with the boy's lack of responsibility.

Oh, you have no idea.

Danny opened his mouth to speak but he found no words. It's like his mind had shut off. Unable to reply, he slumped in his seat, staring at his fingernails while his classmates snickered.

Oh if only he can transform right now in front of him and show him the reason why. They would have surely understood. One move and he wouldn't have to deal with this anymore. One move, and he'll finally earn the respect of his classmates. One move, and he won't have to worry about revealing his secret identity anymore.

But Danny stayed put, resisting the urge to transform this second.

"I'm sorry," he finally said, his voice quiet and full of hopelessness. Mr. Lancer shook his head, not knowing what else to say before continuing onto the row and collecting the rest of the homework.

Mr. Lancer never understood why Danny was so far behind in his classes. He knew Danny was smart and he could do well if he had someone to push him. But it wasn't laziness. He was sure. But he didn't know what else was causing the boy to act like this.

And I never will understand, Mr. Lancer sighed sadly before walking back to the front of the classroom and continuing with the lesson.

The bell finally rang, signaling the end of the class as the trio quickly gathered their stuff, eager to exit the stuffy classroom. Literature was boring, as usual, but Danny was feeling worse than before and the snickering of his classmates wasn't helping the least. All Danny wanted to do was go back home and have a long nap with no interruptions by any ghosts. It's like an impossible wish nowadays.

The students were about to leave the classroom when a loud alarm interrupted, causing everybody to freeze. Not knowing how to act, everybody whispered among themselves, discussing the possibilities.

"Students and staff of Casper High. We are currently under attack by some unknown yet powerful ghost. Not until Danny Phantom or the government's ghost hunters arrive, all students are required to say in their homeroom classes and not leave until further instructions are provided. Be safe everyone!" The intercom closes, causing the panic of the students to rise.

As if on a signal, a blue mist escaped Danny's mouth, causing him to be more alert of his surroundings. He turned to face his two best friends as they nodded, silently telling him that they'll take care of his identity when he's gone.

So someone powerful, huh? That could only be one person- Danny is about to lunge for the door when Mr. Lancer grabs his arm, preventing him from doing so.

"And where do you think you're going, young man?" Mr. Lancer asked, raising own of his brows as Danny stopped, noticing that this won't be an easy task.

"Well, um, I need to go to- to the washroom! Yeah," Danny quickly replied but to no use, as Mr. Lancer pushed Danny back to the classroom, placing him on an empty chair. Sam and Tucker noticed this, trying to think of a way out. After all, they couldn't just sit here and watch.

As the class goes into theories on how Phantom will save them, Danny, Sam, and Tucker huddled in a corner, brainstorming ideas. Danny can't just turn invisible and disappear or that will be suspicious. However, he can't stand by and do nothing. He still doesn't know who this ghost is and for all he knew, he could've hurt tons of people by now!

"Why are you so nervous Fenturd? Scared the box ghost will come here and give you a scare?" Dash joked, earning a high-five by Kwan. Danny rolled his eyes by the irony of that sentence.

Wasn't he just panicking with his friends minutes ago? Danny stated mentally, trying to force himself not to grin in front of Dash. The least he needed right now is for Dash to wail on him.

Fifteen minutes passed by and no sign of Phantom. Mr. Lancer tried to calm the class down but they were all worried. One question was swarming in their heads.

Where is Danny Phantom?

"Why don't you just duplicate yourself?" Sam asked as Danny shook his head sadly.

"I can't. I'm still practicing that trick. And even if I do manage to hold it for some time, I won't be as powerful when facing this ghost we still don't know about. Half of my energy will be here in this stupid classroom. Ugh, what am I going to do now?" Danny panicked as his friends sighed before diverting their attention to the front. Mr. Lancer decided to turn on the news and everybody had quieted down.

"We can see here that some of the best ghost hunters are working together to fight this evil ghost. We still don't know it's motives or why it decided to haunt a high-school specifically, but we will soon. He is referred to as the 'Wisconsin Ghost' and decided to come here to Amity Park. Why? We don't know but that's not the only question we're asking. Where is Danny Phantom? This is Lance Thunder, speaking from the weather channel." The rest of the screen just showed Vlad Plasmius fighting off the ghost hunters without even trying. It looked like he was enjoying this!

"Plasmius! I should've known," Danny hissed under his breath as Sam stared angrily at the screen responsible for the cold aura radiating off of her friend.

"Doesn't he have better stuff to do rather than terrorizing a bunch of high-school students? You were right about him being a fruitloop Danny," Sam uttered, earning a chuckle from Tucker.

"Well, what're we going to do then? We don't even know the real reason why he's here, for heaven's sake!" Danny growled as Tucker scanned his PDA, looking for something he can use to figure out Vlad. But to no use.

"I can't figure out how we can help at the moment. The only choices we have are either exposing you and everyone finding out about your secret, or you going against Mr. Lancer and getting into deeper trouble after," Tucker said, stating the facts as Danny sighed.

I guess we don't have a choice then. Okay, guys, wish me luck," Danny finally said, deciding to follow the second choice. There was no way he was going to reveal his secret, the situation wasn't that serious. He was in trouble anyway and Vlad has to be handled as soon as possible. Whenever Vlad is around, it's never good. Danny knew he had something under his sleeves.

Danny ran to the door, not wasting a minute before turning the knob. The next thing shocked him though. The door's locked!

Someone must've locked the door from the outside, Danny thought as his friends quickly rushed behind him, trying to budge open the door but no luck.

"Well, I guess we're doomed to staying here or revealing your secret," Tucker stated before pulling over a chair and taking a seat. Danny and Sam followed his actions, finally out of ideas.

"And I thought having a sleepover with Paulina is the worst thing that can happen," Sam muttered to herself as the two boys chuckled. Tucker's face then changed into a surprised expression and he pushes his PDA towards his two friends. At first, they were confused but then their eyes grew big when they read the headline and further down the bold text.

"So he's looking for Danny Phantom to challenge him? Why though?" Sam asked as Tucker took back his PDA, reading further into the news page.

"Well, he said that Danny Phantom is secretly his son and he wants to talk but Phantom's hiding," Tucker read, his face growing serious by the second. Sam shook her head while Danny glared at the device, not believing what he was reading.

"Is he nuts?! No wait, he is but like, what the hell! His son? He can forget it! What good is going to happen when he says that anyway, other than the curious media. I need to-" Danny got up, his face furious when his friends pushed him down, trying to calm him down so the rest of their classmates don't get suspicious.

"Danny, you can't go, remember? Plus, Vlad is trying to get to your nerves so you'll expose your secret. He knows how incautious you can get when you're mad. Take a deep breath," Sam explained, forcing Danny to take a deep breath and calm down.

"Sam's right, man. Vlad knows you won't join him and that you'll manage to find a way to prove you're not his son. Let's just take a break from all this and see what the class is up to at the moment, " Tucker suggested, earning a nod from Sam as they pulled their chairs to their class huddled in a big circle.

"I wonder where Phantom is. It's not usual from him to not appear in time," Mikey thoughtfully said as the rest of the class nodded in agreement.

"Well, I say we play a game to forget about all this. My skin's starting to get oily from all the stress. Truth or dare anyone?" Paulina suggested as the class agreed and Dash turned to face the trio.

"You guys in? Or too worried about the ghosts?" Dash grinned earning a frown by Danny.

"Oh, I'd love to, " he retorted back, joining the group as Sam gently grabbed his hand hesitantly.

"Danny are you sure about this? This game isn't suitable for you, especially in your current situation, " she said worriedly as Danny grinned, pulling her and Tucker beside him.

"Oh come on guys. It's just a game. Plus, you're the ones who suggested I do something that takes my mind off, remember?" Danny stated before turning to look at Dash, his face darkening a bit. "Plus, I wanna prove to Dash that I'm not just some wimp he can mess around."

Sam sighed in defeat, taking her seat beside Danny. She had a feeling something wrong would happen but she didn't know what. Meanwhile, Tucker went back to playing his games on his PDA, not paying attention to the current game going on between his classmates.

"Okay then let's start. Kwan pal, truth or dare?" Dash asked, as everybody turned to face Kwan.

"Dare"

"Hmm okay I dare you to..." Dash said before turning to stop at Mr. Lancer. He grinned, facing Kwan again. "Dump some water on him. I'm going easy on you since you're first."

"But I'll get in trouble!" Kwan exclaimed but sighed in defeat when the class continued to stare at him, waiting for him to do it. He got up with the water-bottle in his hand, unscrewed, before going up to Mr. Lancer and dumping the contents in it.

"Rip Van Winkle, what do you think you're doing?" Mr. Lancer exclaimed, his face angrier than before. Kwan went back to them with a slip in his hand.

"Thanks for the detention slip Dash," Kwan grumbled as the next person proceeded.

"Truth or Dare, Paulina?"

"Truth"

"Who do you have a crush on?" someone asked as Sam rolls her eyes. It couldn't be too obvious who it is. Paulina sighed dreamily, blushing a little and gazing at the sky outside the window.

"The ghost boy! Is he cute, or what?" she stated obviously as everybody nodded in agreement, not questioning why. Everybody loves Danny Phantom. Girls dreamed of dating him while guys hope in winning the best friend spot. However, Sam and Tucker both knew that wouldn't happen any time soon.

The game went on, some sharing embarrassing moments while others completing dares. Just then, Tucker's face got pale.

"D-Danny. You need to see this," the techno-geek stuttered, shaking Danny's shoulder.

"Not now Tuck. It's almost my turn!" Danny excitedly said as Sam leaned over Tucker's shoulder, taking a look at what was making her friend so nervous. She was curious as to why he was so worried, she knew it was only hospitals that made him react like that.

"Oh no," she quietly said, her face paling too. That got Danny's attention as he faced his two worried friends in worried curiosity.

"Oh come on guys. What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Danny asked, not liking the look his two best friends were giving him. Tucker then stuck the PDA in Danny's face, making sure he read every word under the video that was being played. Danny then took a look at the video when his eyes go wide at the unexpected news.

His father.

He was now held captive by Vlad. Maddie was hopelessly trying to free him but Vlad was too strong. Vlad was now warning Danny that if he didn't come out in the next ten minutes, he'll destroy him. Of course, everybody was confused. Why was Vlad Plasmius using Jack Fenton as bait? Was he close to Danny Phantom?

At that moment, Danny's face went pale as a ghost, almost close to the shade of newly print paper. He tried to make a move but his hands weren't moving. They were cold as ice and it wasn't his powers that were acting up.

"Danny. Danny? DANNY?"

"Huh, what?" Danny finally turned his head back to his confused looking classmates. He wouldn't say anything for two minutes straight and they thought something was wrong with him.

"It's your turn. Or are you going back?" Dash smirked as Danny blinked blankly a few times before shaking his head.

"No, no, I can go," he said as he turned to face his worried friends. Danny couldn't think properly at the moment, the only person in his mind was his father. Vlad wouldn't dare hurt him, would he? I mean, sure he tried killing his dad before but that's before they met. They had a truce! He just can't-

Danny wasn't going to test that theory. He needed to act, fast.

"Truth or Dare?" someone asked, interrupting Danny from his train of thoughts. Everybody can see that Danny was worried about something but no one decided to question it.

"Truth," he responded immediately, ignoring the curious glances of his classmates.

"Tell us your biggest secret, " Dash said snickering, expecting something embarrassing. Danny froze and so did his two friends, unable to speak. What was he supposed to say? Of course, he can always lie and say something else just so they can get what they want but... should he?

His father's life was at risk and if he didn't get out this very minute, his father might die. If he doesn't reveal his secret right now, everybody's life will be in danger. Is it worth it? Is it?

Danny was in a tough situation. Everybody was now silent, waiting for him to say something-anything. The silence was killing them. He looked over to his friends, asking them to help. They knew what he had to do.

There wasn't a choice now. Danny took a deep breath. This is it. He would tell them and then get out of the school to save his father and defeat Vlad.

"Mr. Fenton, are you okay?" Mr. Lancer asked, his face deep in worry as he looked at the black-haired teenager. Danny was wearing a weird expression that nobody could quite tell. It was indeed frightening. He held the hands of his two best-friends, squeezing them for comfort.

"Well, I have this big secret that nobody knows of except for five people. Sam, Tucker, and Jazz being three of them. I haven't told this to anyone else and I'm forced to say this because of the current situation," Danny explained, looking at his classmates for a brief moment before continuing. "A couple of months ago, my parents created this ghost portal where it can reconnect to the other side of the earth- specifically the ghost zone. Sam, Tucker and I decided to explore it since it wasn't working anyway. I went in, wearing a white hazmat suit that Sam managed to convince me in doing."

The class was listening attentively, noticing Danny's serious look. Whatever he was telling them, it wouldn't be funny.

"I pressed on the 'on' button by accident inside the machine. My molecules got all mixed up and when I came out, I wasn't Danny Fenton anymore," Danny said before closing his eyes and letting the two blue rings wash over him. "I was now Danny Phantom, a half-ghost."

Danny waited a couple of seconds before finally opening his eyes. To say the class was shocked is an understatement. The class looked like they've just seen a ghost! (pun not intended) Everybody was whispering, not believing their own eyes. They tried convincing themselves that it was just their brains playing tricks on them, but they knew the truth now.

Danny Fenton is Danny Phantom. That wasn't a question.

Finally, after an eerie silence, Mr. Lancer spoke.

"Lord of the flies, now that makes more sense!" he exclaimed as everybody slowly nodded in agreement. The constant tardiness, him being tired all the time and always appearing at the right time, it all made sense now!

"I know you guys have a lot of questions right now but I need to go. Like really," he said as Mr. Lancer nodded understandingly, motioning him to fly out the window. Danny held both of his friends by the waist and flew them to where the crime is taking place. He still had four more minutes.
