Team Phantom on the pier

*SPOILERS FOR SEASON THREE IN EXPLANATION*

You have been warned!

***

So, this is from an idea still in the making for a post-series DP fic. This will be Team Phantom in the fic, summer before Senior year of high school for Danny and a few others. To give some background on the pic, I'll give a little 'heads up' as to where everyone is at the beginning of the fic.

Danny: Still teen hero of the world, has been dating Sam for two years now. He's picked his grades up thanks to her and pretty much his high school life is similar to that in his Frightmare dream (though I haven't decided yet whether or not to make him quarterback of the football team... technically now he could "unfairly" use his powers since there wouldn't exactly be a rule against it yet xD > Give me your thoughts on this please! I'm open to suggestions though I'm leaning away from quarterback position.) He is also recognized as an extremely powerful ghost now, however that hasn’t made his ghost fighting any easier. Luckily with the government on his side now, the Guys in White take care of most of the unwanted crowds around ghost fights and the human ghost hunters or enthusiasts out to get him.

Sam: Dating Danny (duh), she's still her unique self. Her life sans-Danny is mostly hanging out at her favourite book store and her participation as an activist. She's relatively sour towards Tucker for his continuation of Vlad's 'out with the old and in with the new' campaign, however she tries to keep her political side away from the personal when they're simply hanging out (which is continuously less and less for other reasons...)

Tucker: Tucker has dropped out of school as he continues his career as a politician. He is slowly learning and becoming a great politician, however with an upcoming election, he's busier and busier, and he sees less and less of his old pals. However, with a buried jealousy still towards Danny (Fm reference) and an already strained friendship between the two, their friendship is heading towards dire consequences...

Jazz: Back from her first year of college, Jazz is as peppy as ever. Her brother's heroism has followed her as well to her new school, leading her to popularity amongst peers she's not used to and a little daunted by. She has a boyfriend going on almost 8 months but for the moment, she’s enjoying her life back at home and with her family.

Dani: Danielle was introduced to the Fentons shortly after PP took place. Since then, Maddie and Jack have adopted her as one of their own. While she sometimes misses being the free-roaming spirit she had been before, she’s settled into life with the Fentons and, more importantly, life in high school. She tends to stay more often than naught in ghost form as it is her original and thus most comfortable form.

Dash: After an incident with Dash attempting to help his hero, Danny, fight ghosts, Dash and Danny set aside their past history and have been working on a new friendship. With Dash as a new member of Team Phantom, Danny has been helping him become a better person, using his energy he used to put towards bullying towards ghost fighting instead. While Dash continues to try to portray his tough persona, the rest of Team Phantom get glimpses, on occasion, of his softer side.

Valerie: Finally having accepted Phantom as ‘good’ in D-S and PP, Valerie was shocked but understanding when she learned about Fenton and Phantom being the same. Ever since, she has joined up with Danny and the rest of the gang to fight ghosts, seeing the value in learning everything they knew, and the stronger ghost hunter she could be by working in a team, rather than on her own. While she still has to earn extra money for her family, she’s able to balance everything much better, allowing her to pull her grades up as well.

And there you have it! Explanations are open to change before I finalize the fic. Like I said, it’s still in the ‘roduction stages’ in my mind xD;; The actual sketch here (which will be tossed in scraps later when I colour the pic) is similar to a photo taken at the pier in August before Danny’s (and Sam, Val and Dash’s) senior year in high school, which is around the time I want to start the fic.

By the way, I’m gonna throw this out there because I want feedback on it. My mind has been considering introducing the pairing Danielle/Dash in the fic. But, is that just TOO weird? Would it scare people off? I’ve been considering it for a number of reasons, and I would do my very best to keep them in character. Of course, Danielle will be 14 going on 15 in the fic (since Danny estimated her at 12 in the show and I’m going by that estimation) so she will be a little more mature than she has acted in the show (yes, it’s about that time for her to start being interested in boys xD). Anyways, it comes down to this… due to a sister/sister bonding moment between her and Jazz, Dani will have a crush. Should I make it on Dash (or someone else but have Dash crush on her) or should I just have it as a completely different boy and have nothing between them altogether? Too weird or interesting enough? All opinions welcome!

Anyways, tis all. PLEASE GIVE FEEDBACK!!! This is one of the few times I will ask for general public opinions on forming a fiction and I want to hear what you guys think!
