FanFic Recommendation of the Week!

Title: Do You Wanna Kiss?
Show: Danny Phantom
Author: Silverflare07
Genre: Romance, Humor
Rating: Ages 10 and up (For flirtation at the end of the story.)
About: Seven year old Sam Manson recieves a bag of Hershey's Kisses for her A+ on her spelling test.  So, when she goes to play in the park with Danny Fenton, and she asks him, "Do you wanna kiss?", how does Danny react?
My Opinion: First of all, I'd like to say, I'm a huge Danny/Sam fan (Sorry Valerie/Danny and Paulina/Danny fans!  Danny and Sam were just meant to be.), so I like a majority of the fanfics written about them.  But, this one was one of my absolute favorites.  It's cute, funny, and seven year old Danny's reaction to Sam's question was absolutely hilarious!  Plus, the ending is a definately not fluffy like some of the DP fics are.  Silverflare07's story will tickle your funny bone plenty of times to cheer you up over and over again.

Read it and let me know what you think!

Chapter 4 Part 1: Things Get Worse

“I’ll see you later, Tommy!”  Danny cried happily, jumping out of the car.  “Thanks, Mrs. Pickles!”

     “Your welcome, dear!” Didi said happily.  “We’ll see you tomorrow!”

     Danny waved to both of them as the van drove away, and smiled.  He felt better after going over to Tommy’s house.  Sam had to leave early, but she seemed to like getting to know Tommy and that made Danny even happier.  Sam was going to go to Tommy’s with Danny again tomorrow.

     Danny started toward his house.  It was a tall brick house, with a bunch of windows all over the sides.  A huge yellow sign with large letters spelling Fenton Works stood on top, made the house stand out of all the others in Amity Park.  Danny hated that sign.  It was like it was calling out to the whole city, saying to come and taunt his family some more.  There was going to be even more teasing, when the new improved op-center was going to be built on the roof of his house.

     Danny walked up the front steps, opened the door, and stepped inside.  “Mom,” he called, “Dad, Jazz, I’m home!”

     Danny looked around inside.  He heard the normal sounds of his parents working downstairs in the lab, and he also heard his sister doing her summer chores, but something was missing.

      Danny was trying to figure out what was different about the sounds in his home.  Then it hit him.  His pet hamster, Speedy, wasn’t there to greet him!  Whenever Danny would come home from a long day, he would hear Speedy get on his exercise wheel, and he would run and run until he either got tired or until Danny came into his room and gave Speedy a hamster treat.
     Speedy was a very intelligent hamster.

     Jazz rushed down the stairs.  “Hey, Danny!” she cried.  “How was your last day of school?”

     “It was okay.” Danny answered. “Yours?”

     “Actually, it was-,”

     But before Jazz could answer his question, Danny exclaimed, “Hey, you cleaned out Speedy’s cage for me!  Thanks, Jazz!”  He took Speedy’s cage out of Jazz’s hands.

     “I know you were going to clean his cage out today, but-,”

     “Thanks again, Jazz!” Danny interrupted, dashing up the stairs.

     “But Danny,” Jazz said weakly, “there’s something I have to tell-,”

     “Jazz!” Danny cried facing his bedroom door.  “You shouldn’t have left my door open!  If Speedy is in his rolling ball, you should leave the door closed!  He could be anywhere in the house now!”

     “Trust me, Danny!  Speedy’s not going anywhere for a long time!”

     “Jazz, Speedy’s gotta be around here somewhere, help me look for him!”

     Danny walked into his room, crouched down, and looked under his bed, but Jazz picked him up by his vest.  “Danny,” she said, with a tone of sadness in her voice, “I don’t know how to tell you this, but Speedy’s gone!”

     “Gone?” Danny asked, surprised. “Gone where?”

     Jazz hesitated.  “Gone as in up there.” she said pointing to the roof.

     Danny’s eyes suddenly widened.  “No.” he cried.  “No, your lying!”

     “Do I really look like the type of person who would lie about this, Danny?”

     “If this is some sort of joke Jazz, it’s not funny!”

     “This isn’t a joke Danny!”  Jazz walked to the right side of Danny’s bed and grabbed Speedy’s empty ball with both hands. “See?  You know I would normally put Speedy in here when you weren’t home.  You told me to feed him his special nuts and oats if you ran late this morning, and when I went to do that Speedy didn’t look like he was feeling all that well.  When I got home from school, I went to check to see how he doing, and he was… well, you know!”

     “B-But,” Danny cried, tears forming in his eyes, “Speedy couldn’t have died!  He just couldn’t have!”

     “I’m sorry, Danny.” Jazz said sadly as she watched her little brother climb onto his bed.  “I know how much Speedy ment to you.”

     “Thanks.” Danny said wiping the tears off his face.  “And Jazz?”

     “Yeah, Danny?”

     “Tell Mom I’m skipping dinner tonight.  I’m not hungry.”

     Jazz smiled at him.  “Of course.”

Chapter 3 Part 2


     “Man,” Danny exclaimed, “some summer vacation this has turned out to be so far!  It’s only been two minutes since the bell rang and I’ve already had to say goodbye to Tucker and I feel like I should crawl into a hole and not come out until summer’s over!”
     Danny and Sam were waiting for Tommy’s mom to pick them up in the school parking lot.  They had been waiting for five minutes and over half of the kids were gone already.

     Sam smiled.  “Ah, come on Danny!  Don’t listen to what Dash and Quan said!  I think you’re a leader and a fighter!”

     “Well I don’t think so!” Danny said sitting down on the pavement.

     Danny and Sam were silent until the Pickles’ van drove up the road.  Tommy was trying to look outside, but he was too short to completely see out of the car window.

     “Sorry I’m late kids!” Didi Pickles cried as Danny and Sam slid into the back seat.  She looked at her son.  “I don’t know what’s gotten into Tommy today.  It’s like he knew you were coming!”

     Danny looked to his right.  Tommy was staring at him with a huge grin on his face.  Danny smiled back at him.  “I hope you don’t mind that I invited my friend Sam over to play, Mrs. Pickles!”

     “Oh, not at all dear!”  Didi exclaimed, as she drove out of the parking lot.  “Your mother said that some of your friends might be coming.  Besides,” she added, “it’s just the four of us today!”

     Danny nodded and looked back at Tommy who was still trying to get a glimpse out the window.  “Wow, Danny!” he exclaimed.  “From what I can see, your school looks really big!  I bet’ cha at least three Reptars could fit in there!”

     Danny laughed.  Tommy was good at making people laugh, although sometimes he wasn’t trying to.

     “Oh, I remember Reptar!” Sam cried.  “Danny and I used to watch it all the time when we were younger!”

     “Really?” Tommy asked leaning forward so he could look at her.  “How long have you guys played with each other?”

     “Since before we could talk to grown ups actually.”

     Tommy smiled.  “It’s Sam isn’t it?”

     She nodded.

     “I’m Tommy, or as like to call myself, Tommy Afully Bald Pickles!”

     Sam laughed.

     Tommy grinned, but it quickly disappeared when he saw his playmate’s face.  “Hey Danny, what’s wrong?  Your firstest baycation’s started already!”

     “Oh, he’s just bummed because he had a rough day at school!”  Sam said, answering Tommy’s question.  “Trust me, he’ll get over it!”

     Tommy frowned.  “Were those biggerer kids mean to you again, Danny?”

     Danny nodded without looking at him.

     Tommy’s brows furrowed.  “Oh, those meanies are gonna pay someday!  Just you wait!”

     Danny grabbed Tommy’s arm.  “Calm down, Tommy!”  he cried.  “Sam’s right, all I need to do is think for awhile and I’ll get over it!”

     “Are you sure?” Tommy asked.

     Danny smiled and nodded.  “Besides,” he added, “ at least my summer can’t get any worse!”

Chapter 3 Part 1: Summer’s Here!


     “Five more minutes you guys!” Tucker cried running over to Danny and Sam.  Danny was sitting at his desk and staring at the floor.  Sam was trying her best to comfort him.  Tucker was watching both of them.  “Okay, you guys are really bumming me out!” he exclaimed.  “It’s almost summer!  You know, the day we’ve all been looking forward to for weeks!”

     Sam glared at Tucker.  “Can’t you show a little respect Tuck?  Danny’s a little upset right now!”

     Danny sighed.  “Don’t worry about me Sam.  I’m okay.”

     “Really?” Tucker asked, “Because you don’t sound okay!”

     Danny was silent for a while.  All he wanted to do now was go to Tommy’s house and explain what had happened.  He would understand how Danny felt.  Then Tommy would give some advice to make him feel better and then he and Danny would play a fun game to help him take his mind off of what had just occurred hours earlier.

     Danny sighed once again.  “Are you guys going to Tommy’s house with me?”

     “My Mom said it was okay when I talked to her on the phone,” Sam said answering Danny’s question.  “I have to be back by three o’ clock though!”

     Danny smiled at her and then he turned toward Tucker.  “What about you Tuck?” he asked.  “Are you ready to meet Tommy?”

     Tucker suddenly frowned.  “I’m sorry, Danny!” he cried.  “I can’t go!  I need to get home and pack up my things for California!”

     The grin slipped from Danny’s face once again.  “You’re leaving?” he asked, disappointed.  “When are you coming back?”

     Tucker shrugged.  “Somewhere between July and August.”

     “You’re going to be gone practically the whole summer!”

     “Sorry dude, but this is the only time of year I can visit my Uncle!”

     Danny was so sad that he didn’t here the school bell’s final ring.

Chapter 2 Part 2

“Danny, Sam, I need a little help here!” Danny’s friend Tucker cried.  Two of the school bullies, Dash and Quan, were trying to put Tucker into a fight.  Danny and Sam walked in just in time.

     “Dash,” Danny cried, “leave Tucker alone!”

     Dash turned to look at Danny and smirked.  “Or what Fenton?” he asked smugly, “Are you gonna shoot me with a ghost ray or something?”

     “Yeah,” Quan laughed, “are you gonna-,”

     Dash shoved him.  “Listen Quan,” he cried, “I do all of the talking around here!  Got it?”

     “Yes sir!”

     Dash helped Quan get back on his feet.  “As for you Fen-toenail,” he cried, “you’re about to get a taste of your own medicine!”

     The two bullies marched toward Danny, but both stopped when Dash started screaming.  Sam had stomped on his right foot.  Tears were now streaming down Dash’s face and he was wailing in pain.

     Sam smiled and turned to face Danny and Tucker who were staring at her with their mouths open, dumbstruck.  “That,” she said happily, “is one of the reasons why I don’t wear flip-flops during the summer!”  Sam turned around and looked at Quan.  “Do you want a good stomping too while I’m still in the mood?”

     Quan quickly shook his head.  “N-No thanks!”

     Sam smiled.  “I thought not!”

     Once the pain left Dash’s foot, he ran toward Danny and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.  “You win this time Fenton!” he said angrily.  “You might’ve saved you’re nerdy friend from getting a beating.  And you’re little girlfriend might’ve just saved you from getting your butt kicked.  But remember this,” Dash leaned his face in toward Danny’s.  “You’re not a leader or a fighter and you never will be!”

     Danny winced as Dash threw him to the ground.  Dash and Quan laughed.  “C’mon Quan, let’s get out of here before their geekyness rubs off on us!”

FanFic Recommendation of the Week!

Okay, I've decided to add a fanfic reccommendation for people who are into reading fanfiction.  So, I'll start with this one.

Title: The Ten
Author: Closetotheedge
Genre: Horror, Suspense
Where You Will Find It: Fanfiction.net, Cartoons, Arthur (Yes, I'm talking about the ardvark. {SP?}).
Age: Teens.  NOT AN ARTHUR STORY FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOLERS!  (For scary moments, gore, and one language comment.)
Summary: In this unusual Arthur story, nobody can trust anybody.  Everyone is getting killed, one by one in a horrible game where ten of them are to die.  And as the game starts to come to a close, Arthur and the gang are trying find the guilty party, especially since the killer is in Mr. Ratburn's class themself!
My Opinion: First of all, let me just say, I am NOT a fan of horror stories.  Especially when they're based off of kids cartoons I like.  BUT, it doesn't mean I didn't like this one.  I don't know.  Something about this fanfic changed my opinion of all horror stories put together. (And it's really weird because, I love Arthur!)  Like, for example, it doesn't go all prolonged on the gore, it more focused on the what's going on in the story, and the gore is mentioned in only one to four sentences in each chapter.  Plus, the fact that you don't know who the killer is until the very end; I loved trying to figure it out.  All in all, I have to say, Closetotheedge's story, is a really weird twist in an Arthur story, yet totally well written, and is 100% of pure awesomeness.  I highly recommend it!

Comment once you've read it, and tell me what you think!

Chapter 2 Part 1: Bullies

As Danny and Sam walked to school, they had a good long talk about what they were going to do for their very first summer.

     “I’m not sure what I’m gonna do yet.” Sam was saying to Danny. “I’ll probably just sit around the house all day I guess.  What about you Danny?”  she asked.  “Do you know what you’re gonna do this summer?”

     “Oh, I don’t know!” Danny answered. “I guess I’ll be playing with Tommy all summer!”

      Sam had a puzzled look on her face, but it quickly disappeared.  “Oh yeah!” she cried. “Isn’t he your new playmate?”

     Danny nodded.  “I’m going to his house right after school.  I’m sure you and Tucker can come with me as long as your parents says it’s okay!”

     Sam smiled and nodded.  “Sounds like fun!”

     Danny and Sam chatted some more about summer plans until they got to school.  Aside from the behavior of the students, Ghoul Elementary was a great school.  Danny liked his kindergarten teacher, Ms. Robinson, and all of the different things he learned in class that year, except for math.

     The only thing Danny didn’t like about this school was the name.  It reminded him how everyone here constantly teased him about his parents’ job.  Danny’s mom and dad fought ghosts.  Amity Park had a lot of ‘ghost activity’. So once a ghost invention was finished, it was never forgotten.

     Danny was always nervous before he entered the school building.  Usually a group of four or five kids were waiting on the other side of the front door waiting to start picking on him, and occasionally his two best friends.

     But each day before Danny started pulling the door handle, he always thought back to what Tommy said to him when they first met.

     “Danny, I don’t care what other peoples think!  And you shouldn’t neither!”

     Danny also remembered something else Tommy had said to him before he left yesterday afternoon.

     “Danny, if any of those kids at your school tease you at all tomorrow and a ghost actually does come someday, they’ll be sorry they ever was mean to you!”

     ‘That Tommy,’ Danny thought happily, ‘he’s always giving out great advice!’  After quickly taking a deep breath, Danny and Sam walked into the school building.

Chapter 1 Part 2

     As Danny was fixing himself up in his room he glanced out the window.  He noticed that his bus pulled up in front of the house.  “Oh no!” he cried grabbing his backpack and rushing down the stairs,  “The bus is here!”  But just when Danny got outside, the bus was already driving away.

     “WAIT!” Danny yelled, “STOP!”  But the bus driver didn’t hear him. He just kept driving.  “So much for the last day!” Danny mumbled.

    “Hey Danny!” a voice called from behind him,  “Did you miss the bus too?”  Danny jumped and turned around.  It was one of his best friends, Sam Manson.  “Jeez Danny!” she cried.  “It looks like you’ve just seen a ghost!”

    Danny frowned.  “Ha. Ha. Very funny, Sam!  How did you miss the bus?”

    “Well,” Sam began, “my Mom woke me up about ten minutes before my bus came, then I had to quickly get dressed, then I had to run down the stairs, I barely got any time to eat my breakfast, then I had to run back up to my room because I put my clothes on really weird, then when I was in my room the bus came, and by the time I got outside the bus was driving away, and I yelled for the bus driver to stop, but he wouldn’t, so I started walking to school, and now I’m here!”  Sam sighed.  “Man!” she cried, “So much for the last day, huh?”

     “Funny.” Danny exclaimed, “Where did I hear that story before?”

Summer Bummer: Chapter 1 Part 1

Chapter 1 Part 1: The Last Day

    
     Five-year-old Danny Fenton sat up in his bed, stretched, and yawned. He was very happy this morning.  He had just woken up from a good dream.  Danny always liked waking up from pleasant dreams because that meant something great was going to happen.

     Danny opened his window curtain.  The sun was shining brightly, making the light reflect off his bedroom wall.  Danny smiled. He loved making shadows on the walls.  Danny was doing just that, when it hit him.

     “Oh no!” he cried, dashing toward his alarm clock.  Danny panicked when he saw the time.  “It’s 7:40?!” he exclaimed.  “I’ve only got ten minutes until my bus comes!  I’m gonna be late for my last day of school!”

     Danny ran toward his closet, grabbed some clothes, and quickly got dressed.  He put his bright blue vest on as he rushed down the stairs.

     “Thanks for waking me up Jazz!” Danny said sarcastically to his older sister as he ran into the kitchen.

     Jazz lifted her head up from her bowl of cereal to look at him.  “Oops!” she cried, “Sorry Danny!  I guess I forgot that your bus comes earlier today!”

      “Yeah,” Danny exclaimed grabbing a poptart from the toaster, “well now thanks to you, I’m in a huge rush!”

      Jazz smiled at him.  “Yeah, I think I figured that out!”

     “How?” Danny asked.  “ Are you just saying this just because I’m running all over the house right now?”

     “Well, for one thing,” Jazz said pointing at him, “your shirt is inside out and you’re not wearing any socks or shoes!”

     Danny looked down at himself.  “Oh man!” Danny groaned dashing up the stairs,  “Jazz, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”  Jazz laughed and shook   her head.
