Headcannon for a danny phantom fanfic:
Episode 1: How danny got the nickname "creep" or "freak" by the A Listers. I think it would be a pretty well-known thing at school that Danny's creepy. But his repuration of being creepy started after Danny became part ghost. Before that, the insults were just "nerd" (or maybe "poindexter" for foreshadowing/also bc i stan for a smart danny).
Danny just got his powers from the accident but still doesn't know how to use them. He doesn't quite know what he is yet. Anyway, the scene goes like this. The A Listers go up to some secluded spot at night cause that's what teenagers do. Idk Makeout Point or something (my hometown calls it Top of the World, so maybe we'll go with that. No wait! The Pittock Mansion! The Pittock Mansion is a historical museum that's supposedly haunted, but people go to their gardens at night to watch the city from the cliffs!)
The A Listers split off into pairs, Star with Kwan and Pauline with Dash. Things start getting romantical. Unfortunately, Danny happens to be in the tree above the bench where Paulina and Dash just so happen to be making out on. Now, most people would see this and cop danny as a peeping tom. But trust me, there's a good reason he's up there. See, danny used to like climbing trees when he was smaller. He liked how the outside world became hidden. And if he'd climb to the top, well he'd be up so high he'd almost be into space! Like he could almost touch it! He finds solace climbing trees in his teenage years, which he so happens be the reason why he's in one now. Weird things have been happening to him ever since the accident. He doesn't know what's going on. He seems to be disappearing from this world with no control. It's scary. And it's happening more and more. He thinks about him disappearing forever. What would his parents think of him gone, or Sam or Tucker? His sister? Would anyone even notice? Would the world continue on without him, like he wasn't even there to begin with? The universe chooses to torture danny by having paulina and dash occupy the bench below him to make out. He's trapped in the tree unless he wants to be discovered. With the utmost excellence timing, his powers misfire, and he phases to the ground, startling Paulina and Dash. Dash is embarrassed and immediately accuses Danny of being a creep for wanting to spy on them. Danny tries to explain. Paulina calls him a peeping tom and is yelling. The other A Listers come back over after hearing the commotion. They corner danny, Dash tries to start a fight by shoving him. By the third shove, Danny is accidentally shoved off the edge of the cliff, where he stumbles and falls. It's a long way down, and the A Listers are freaking out thinking they killed Fenton. He was a peeping tom after all, so he deserved it, they rationalize. Nothing is reported to the authorities. Danny's death will most likely be ruled as an accident. People fall off those cliffs all the time. They make their cover story, 'everyone went to Kwans house to party and not anywhere near the cliffs, we stayed there all night. Got it?'
The next Monday at school, since the events happened over the weekend: The A Listers are a nervous wreck. Kwan's about to crack, and so is Star. Dash is about to go mad with guilt. They're all arguing about going to the police or not when they look outside see none-other-than Danny fucking Fenton on the football field. He in gym class (the one they all just skipped) and the class is playing flag football. He running on the field till he senses something and turns towards the school. He notices 5 teenagers watching him from the second story, most of them A Listers that probably want to kick his ass. He pauses and watches them, A Listers watch him back. There's a moment between them. The A Listers feel a cold snatch, there's a shiver down their spines, a heaviness in the air. For a split second Danny's eyes look green and foreboding. He breaks eye contact and goes back to the field game. All the A Listers are frozen in fear, its like they've seen a ghost. Little did they know, Poindexter was right behind them. Listening this whole time about how they murdered their fellow classmate over the weekend. Enter Poindexter and Danny's first ghostly encounter; the boy who stares at him from afar.
Episose 2: The A Listers proceed to act normal since Danny isn't saying anything about what happened Saturday night on the cliffs. But they are having a hard time acting their normal bully selves. Dash tries to beat up Danny to show nothing has changed and that he's really just a loser who tricked them. During Dash's motivational speech, he catches Danny in the hallway just to prove his point. He grabs Fenton's shirt and winds up his fist. He pauses. He feels the air get heavy again. The temperature has dropped. There's something crawling up his spine. He looks at Fenton, 'he really is a freak.' He releases Danny, steps backward, and turns away, brushing past his group, looking like he's seen a ghost. Danny doesn't quite understand why Dash acted this way, a little dumbfounded he's cheered for standing up to Dash. In the midst of his praise, he sees him again, the kid who's always down the hall watching him.
Episode 2 part 2: tbc
Things you might have missed:
Danny fell from the cliff because his heel phased through the ground, making him misstep and fall. Not because Dash pushed him.
Danny's stare off with A Listers was because his ghost sense went off. Poindexter was standing next to them, listening and watching. At this point humanoid ghosts look a lot like regular humans and is hard to tell the difference between the two. Danny doesn't know he's looking at a ghost or what his ghost sense is.
Dash and the A Listers felt cold because of Poindexter's presence, not because of Danny.
