Ghost Problems, Danny Solutions

Danny was in the beach subspace training. It has been almost a month since the incident and at the moment, he was trying to release ectoplasm energy in one way or another.

"Danny?" he heard, breaking his mid-air meditation

Releasing his hold on his flight, Danny landed softly on the beach "Yes Sam?" he asked his girl friend

"No results?" she asked

"*sigh* no, I did get something though" he smiled as a second pair of arms revealed themselves below the first "it seems I can multiply parts of me"

Sam paused for a moment "all parts of you?"

"..."

"..."

"Down girl!" Danny exclaimed as he conjured water right on top of Sam

"GAH! Cold" she shouted "Dammit Danny, I know you said no sex yet, but can't you let a girl Fantasise" she whined

"No, because when you fantasise you get more proactive" Danny argued back "we're waiting till your 18th birthday"

"Fine" her shoulders sagged "isn't this supposed to be the other way around?" she continued "the guy is supposed to be the pushy one"

Danny shrugged "Sex is great and all, but have you tried just cuddling with the person you love?" Danny smiled softly "the emotional gratification is much more satisfying than sex"

Sam looked thoughtful for a moment "Martial arts guy?"

Danny shook his head "all of them... besides the engineer, he had no life"

This caused Sam to laugh, soon joined by Danny.

Sam and Danny chose to call it a day. As they exited the island sub-verse they were met with the Fenton parents rushing around in panic.

"Guys, what's going on?" Danny asked

Jack kept his eye on what he was doing while answering "Ghost in Amity high, gonna go catch it"

"I'm going ahead" Danny waited for nothing as he kissed Sam and flew through the ceiling

"We gotta go, now" Maddie turned to Jack

"Going" Jack called as he ran towards the stairs, hopefully they would get there before someone gets hurt

-In Amity high cafeteria-

"THAT'S NOT HOW YOU MAKE IT!" the shout of a woman could be heard reverberating through the school "YOU ONLY ADD THE SAUCE AFTER THE PEPPER" the angry voice sounded again

"What is going on here?" Danny asked as he came in through the wall

"Oh no, there's another one" one of the chefs whimpered

"Who are you?" the woman narrowed her eyes "this is my territory, other ghosts should now that and YOU CAN'T HAVE IT!" she shouted at Danny

"Did I say I want it?" Danny placed his hand on his hips in a chiding manner

"Then why are you here?" she asked, still suspicious

"I heard there was a ghost hurting people and came here to stop it" Danny shrugged

"Yes, please save us" one of the chefs begged

"We can't do this anymore" the second cried

"I want my mommy~" the third cried

Danny watched in apprehension "what did you do to them?"

The school lunch ghost lady...SLGL for short snorted and looked in disgust at the chefs "I was teaching them how to cook"

Danny gaped at her "that's it?"

"Well..." she hesitated

"She drowned Barry in BBQ sauce" the first chef complained

Danny looked at the third chef "...Barry?"

The three nodded

Danny turned to the lunch lady as he took a moment to think. He didn't want to hurt her, and the food is shit... "Can I have a taste?" Danny asked the woman

"Oh yes, you are such a nice young ghost, but a bit on the bony side. Definitely need more meat" she fussed over Danny as she shoved a plate full of meat in his hand

Danny smiled and took a bite; his eyes widened 'Damn' he thought 'Scarlet, how are our finances'

[2 million and rising]

'Good' Danny grinned, money is power, Xander learned that early in his life as he didn't have much of it. Now, having an A.I, money had never been easier to get "Hey Lunch-A-Belle" Danny called "how would you like to share the greatness of meat with millions?"

Maddie and Jack had just reached the school, when they heard someone running behind them, looking behind them, they saw a balding skinny man with wire frame glasses wearing a suit and carrying a black briefcase. He was huffing and puffing as he ran, sweating bullets.

Jack and Maddie shared a look and stopped "Excuse m..."

Maddie stopped when the man just ran past them and into the cafeteria. The Fenton parents just stood there, blinking in confusion.

"Sweet Fenton, we have to save him" Jack called as he ran after them man with Maddie right behind him

As they reached the door, Jack abruptly stopped. Maddie, failed to stop herself and ran into him, causing them to go down.

"Mom, Dad" Danny was there, in his human form with the ghost standing behind him. Jack and Maddie learned not to judge ghosts ever since they met Desiree, so they looked at Danny in what could only be an 'EXPLAIN' look.

Danny nodded towards the Ghost "this is the Lunch Lady, and this is Mr Wicker. Mr Wicker is the lawyer I hired to represent the lunch lady in her negotiations with channel 3 to host the first ever cooking show hosted by a ghost" Danny gave his report

"Pleasure*huff* to*huff*meet you*haaah*" Wicker collapsed on the cafeteria table after sliding a few documents towards Danny.

Danny read each of the documents carefully and nodded. Everything seems to be in order "Bella, if you would" Danny gave her a pen

"And this will help prove that meet is the best?" she asked as she took the pen

"No, this will help you talk to millions of people" Danny shook his head "proving that meet is the best is up to you, I'm just giving you a larger audience" he explained

She signed the documents, might as well, what is she going to lose anyways.

The parents gaped at the interaction. Ghosts are volatile, this shouldn't be happening... so how.

Xander smiled, the reason for the calmness is his blessing. It is a hidden boon that he projects a passive comforting aura that calms people and other beings down.

Add the fact that the contract documents has one magical contract slipped in by Xander that basically stipulates that she can't hurt anyone unless in self or other defence, and you're golden.

She can still dowse people in BBQ sauce though, as long as they're not allergic to it. No need to ruin her fun.

"Remember Mr Wicker, you have to get a kitchen similar to the school cafeteria one" Danny warned "Belle, it was a pleasure, from now on, Mr Wicker will take care of you, a couple of weeks and you'll be on air" Danny saw some disapproval creeping its way onto her features so he continued quickly "might I suggest traveling to learn new meet recipes... I heard the Chinese have a recipe for beef with clam sauce and fried vegetables that is extremely delicious"

Belle suddenly perked up "Truly, it's always the foreigners" she smiled as she was about to fly

"Wait!" called Wicker "take this, I'll contact you on it" he offered his phone

Belle held it for a moment before looking back "what is this thing?" she asked

Danny's shoulders sagged as he quickly drew and summoned a Ghost with a call function "here, this little guy can handle the call, you'll have to call it" Danny told Wicker and gave him the assigned 9 digit number for that particular Ghost.

'It would've been easier to kick her ass and call it a day' Danny thought as he got home tired. His parents told him they were proud of him for his none violent approach

[I agree, but I think this way, she won't be coming back to haunt you... pun intended]

'Hardy har har' Danny rolled his eyes when he suddenly felt something rising in him as suddenly green flame burst from him and he was forced into his phantom form "WHAT THE HELL!?" he exclaimed

He didn't have much time though, as he was feeling he was about to explode. He dived through the floor and into the basement where he opened the Island door and rushed through.

He was barely in time as his body exploded with green energy that Danny believed to be ectoplasm. It lasted only a minute, even though it basically covered the sub-verse in green.

Exhausted, Danny lowered himself onto the beach, as the only traces of the explosion are wisps of green flame dancing around Danny.

"What was that?" he huffed as he collapsed on the soft sand

[I think it's the awakening of 3000 plus spirit points ghost power]

Danny focused on what's in front of him, checking his new ability

"Cool" Danny grinned as he surrendered to sleep. He'll start training tomorrow

-1 week later-

"Are you the dock worker Mr Franklins?" a young man asked an older, balding man

"Yes, that's me kid" he answered, slightly confused on why a boy wanted to talk to him

"Well Mr Franklins, how would you like to have a ghost working for you?" the kid inquired

Franklins stalled for a second "Come again?"

"Box, get in here" the kid called towards the office wall

Franklins turned towards the wall just in time to see a blue ghost wearing grey overalls and hat... "Boss?!"

"Boss?" the boy asked in confusion

"Kid?" the Box Ghost asked Franklins

The Boy looked between the two "You guys know each other?"

Franklins nodded "that's the ghost of Greg Anderson, my mentor when I started as a dock worker, but everyone calls him Boss"

"I'm the BOX Ghost, not the BOSS Ghost" the BOX ghost complained

"You saved my life when the containers fell, you weren't so lucky, unfortunately" Franklins let out a sigh "as far as I'm concerned, you can call yourself whatever you want, I owe you my life"

"This makes things easier then" the kid spoke again "see, our friend here has the telepathic ability to control Boxes" the boy then paused "ALL boxes. This includes shipping containers and so on"

"Ok, I see how that would be great... so what does he want in return?" Franklins asked

"a standard pay so he can buy a warehouse and then buy containers to fill the warehouse and then boxes to fill the containers and then..." Danny was inturupted by Franklins as he noticed he was losing Greg... Box ghost

"I get it, and I agree" he concluded

"Great" the boy smiled and then simply left... Franklins never did get his name... what did he look like again?

"Another one settled?" Sam asked 'the boy' Danny

"Yup, things are getting easier the longer I do this" he grinned

Sam paused for a moment "Danny, you know you'll have to actually fight someone eventually, right?" she asked, tentatively

"I know Sam; don't worry" Danny's smile faltered as he gave a heavy sigh "the problem isn't in the fight, but how to end it"

"What do you mean?" she asked

Danny furrowed his eyebrows in thought before answering with his own question "tell me, if I was severely injured by someone, so much so that I won't ever walk again or see again, what would you do?"

"I'd hurt them bad" she spoke grimly

"And if they told you they won't stop?"

"... I see where you're going with this" Sam nodded

"Yeah" Danny sighed again "I don't want to kill anyone yet, even the dead" he joked, but without mirth

Sam noted that he said 'yet' but didn't comment. Desiree told her about the other Ghosts, and she was sure Danny would hunt at least 90% of the more evil ones just on principle.

But she would be there, if not to help him fight, then to help him rest. It's what the first wife is supposed to do.

They'll cross that bridge when they get to it...

She smiled and took Danny's hand as they headed home.

Together.
