Chapter 1 A Familiar Neighbor
AN2: For those of you who saw this updated and got excited sorry this is just some changes to the AN to explain somethings I left out, and I forgot the disclaimer the first time I posted this.
AN: So I know I'm just starting another story but I have pretty much no inspiration for writing my other stories right now. So I'm just gonna type this little story for laughs. For the purpose of this fic Danny met Sam sometime after his first summer at Camp Campbell. He's known Tucker for about as long so the trio is a little less close, but Danny is extremely close with his friends from camp where he was a part of Max's little group when his parents sent him their for Ghost Camp.
Also heads up I write what I'm inspired to write so sometimes I'll update one story a lot, and sometimes I'll write one or two chapters and not update for months.
Anyway the Campers have made their own little family because let's face it with the exception of Erid, Nerris, and possibly Space Kid. None of the Campers have great families.
Note if you've watched Camp Camp you'll know to Expect Cursing especially whenever Max makes an appearance.
Also No idea if I'd rather it be Makki or Danny/Nikki. Suggestions.
Also all the campers will be 14 unless stated otherwise this takes place sometime during Season 1 after Danny has discovered all his basic powers.
There will be a lot of AU in this as a reviewer pointed out in season 1 Vlad isn't mayor. I'm making these changes simply because I want to see how the campers will affect Danny's interactions with different ghost.
So as of the beginning of this story Danny has met and fought with in no particular order: Vlad, Box ghost, Lunch Lady, Skulker, and Technus. I'm not having him fight the "younger" ghost. Meaning Johnny, Kitty, Ember,Youngblood and Dragon Dora simply because they are the ones that I think a different Danny would most change the relationship with.
So to recap on the important points I've changed.
Sam, and Tucker aren't as close to Danny but do know his secret
Vlad is already mayor, and is trying to recruit Danny
Danny doesn't get along great with his parents your usual neglectful Jack and Maddie fanfic style.
Hasn't fought any of the "Younger" Ghost
Danny has a bit more of a Camp Camper attitude.
Danny has gone to Camp Campbell, since he was 10
Due to Jasper Danny has a much more open mind to ghost.
Most of these won't be seen for a while.
By the way I forgot the first time I uploaded this
I don't own Camp Camp or Danny Phantom.
Danny's POV
I was chatting with my friends from Camp on a groupchat.
"Hey guys." I type getting a multitude of heys from my friends from camp.
"What's going on with you guys right now Amity is kinda dead." I type with a chuckle at my pun.
"Sitting in the car with my mom, waiting to see the new house." Nikki types back.
"Trying to talk my Dad out of moving apparently he's got a great new job opportunity at a new university that's just starting up." Neil types his for response.
"Trying to find something to do. God things are so boring without you guys. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm ready to go back to camp." Max responds with his at this point completely fake disdain for camp.
"Muack" The platypus somehow types it apparently having learned how to use social media on the old computer Neil leaves at camp.
After that I receive a bunch of other responses from the others: Nurf is hitting the gym to put on some muscle for a new bullying technique he found, Preston was working on a new play production, Space Kid was trying to build a rocket, Erid was grinding away at a half pipe by her place, Dolf was working on a new painting, Harrison was trying to bring the dirty dishes he made disappear back before his parents flipped, and Nerris was still trying to put a D&D party together. Though it did seem like most of camp's parents have been talking about some new job opportunity or great housing opportunities of some kind.
"Huh I guess the markets good right now." I think to myself
I had just logged off the group chat, with my friends from camp, when Sam, and Tucker came into the room. I like them but they just weren't as close as I was with my friends from camp, Maybe if we had met before my first year at camp we would be closer. Sure we've been through some stuff together, but all in all I still don't think the ghost match up to some of our camp adventures over the years. In fact if it wasn't for the fact that I know Erid's dad's like to check our group chat when they get bored I would have told my camp friends about my ghost powers.
"Hey Danny." They both say as they come into the room, and take their customary seats in my room with Tucker sitting by the computer, and Sam slumping into a bean bag chair near the corner.
"Hey dude somebody's moving into the housing district across the street." Tucker says pointing out the window to one of the few projects Vlad's done as mayor that was actual improving the town. He had torn down some old unused store fronts, and put in a new housing district, along with adding several different places to bring jobs to Amity.
"Really let me see." I say walking over to the window, and sure enough there is a moving van, and some kind of convertible pulled up to a house across the street. I was about to go sit back down when I saw a familiar shade of green hair.
"No fucking way." I say to myself causing a language from Sam, as I start to run down the stairs with Sam, and Tucker rushing to catch up.
"Danny what's going on." they say as they follow me out the door. Though I'm ignoring them at the moment to pay attention to one of the people moving into the house across the street. She was our age, with a greenish blue hair color, and light pink eye's, with scratches on both of her cheeks I knew there was only one person it could be.
"Nikki!" I yell getting the girls attention.
"Danny!" She yells in surprise, and joy, as she runs towards me, and pulls me into a back breaking bearhug which I happily reciprocate.
"It's good to see you Nik." I say after we step back from the hug.
"You to Danny." She agrees with that infectious grin of hers on her face.
"Uh Danny mind introducing us to your friend.?" Sam asks looking a little confused about what's going on an a little angry about something. I guess I did kinda forget they were here for a bit.
"Oh right Nikki these are my friends Sam, and Tucker, Sam, Tucker this is one of my friends from camp, Nikki." I introduce Sam, and Tucker look confused, while Nikki grins, and waves.
"You know Nikki when you said you were moving you didn't mention it was right across the street from me." I say to her with a smile.
"I didn't realize it until we pulled up. You know how mom is with telling me about stuff." She says happily at first but then grumbling the last part, to which I nod knowingly at that.
"So you go to that summer camp that Danny goes to every year?" Sam asks Nikki she seems to be acting weird almost hostile to the green haired girl.
"Do I. We've been friends since our first summer at camp. We've been through it all together." Nikki says with a happy reminiscent smile on her face, before she seems to come up with an idea judging by how her eye's light up.
"Danny we have to show the gang from camp." She says pulling me into a side hug while taking out her phone to take a selfie with me. I quickly put my arm around her shoulder, and look at the phone.
"Hey guys guess who's my new neighbor." Nikki says while typing on her phone.
Almost immediately her phone started lighting up with comments from our friends from camp.
"No way that is so cool." Erid responds almost immediately.
"So half the dream team's together." Nurf responds mere seconds later. Followed by a bunch of other comments from our friends, and mascot from camp, with Max, and Neils texts teasing us about spending so much time together outside of camp now, but it's clear that they feel a little jealous and wish they were here. Causing Nikki to laugh while she breathes from her bag of nature, as she calls it.
"Uhh why are you breathing from the bag." Tucker asks a little concerned.
"Oh yeah I'm fine I just needed a little bit of nature to pick me up." Nikki says, after all these years, and many tests by Neil to see what causes it we still have no clue why Nikki gets sick when away from nature, causing us to build her son nature inhalers, and epipens for when we go places away from it. Even if Nikki prefers to use the paper sack full of dirt.
"This is going to be an awesome rest of the school year." I say smiling at Nikki, and my friends.
