He didn't expect it to bloom but who does.

Unknown, Danny November 2nd 10:30 p.m.
______________________________

Unknown: Fenton

Danny: Who tf?

Unknown: I didn't think she was telling the truth that you are drastically different when texting someone

Danny: Well who the fuck texts someone with out introducing themselves. Who is this? How did you get my number?

Unknown: So aggressive

Danny: It takes less effort to block you then actually talk to you so either get what you want out or I'm moving on with my day.

Unknown: WOO GEEZ CHILL

Danny: 🤨

Unknown: It's Baxter

Danny: Your joke isn't funny, be honest dude

Unknown: Why would I be joking?

Danny: Because it's universally known that Dash hates my guts so be realistic.

Unknown: I am not joking?

Danny: Uh huh and I'm the most popular guy in school.

Unknown: You are but in a different sense

Danny: Okay now you are definitely talking out of your ass

Unknown: Why do you swear so much?

Danny: You text me in the middle of the night and I am exhausted. Why the fuck do you think I'm swearing?

Unknown: Right you did have that big fight.

Danny: What fight?

Unknown: Fenton I'm not stupid, that ghost fight with the pirates earlier? You literally saved my life.

Danny: Okay who the FUCK is this?

Unknown: I already told you
Unknown: Dash Baxter.
Unknown: World's biggest problem and Captain of the football team.

Danny: Everything about that sentence is wrong so try again before I actually start hunting you down myself.

Unknown: What about it being me is difficult to understand?

Danny: You acting nice over being an asshole?
Danny: Clearly having my phone number despite me never giving it out to people aside from 4 people
Danny: And the fact you started saying cryptic messages about something that you shouldn't know about.
Danny: So either you are an incredibly stupid or an exceptional overshadowed ghost trying to fuck with me right now

Unknown: Yes I was an asshole to you, I got your phone number from Paulina, it was stupid to just out you over messages and I am incredibly stupid in every sense of the word
Unknown: That is not going to change the fact I am Dash and I promise you I am not fucking with you

Danny: It's odd how I STILL don't believe you

Unknown: "You were cuter when you were a teddy bear" You told me that after dropping in the middle of the football field freshmen year

Danny: I

Unknown: "Why do they always pick you" yelling at some rando ghost that tried taking over me sophomore year

Danny: ....

Unknown: "I swear if you change him I'll kill you." Literally this morning
Unknown: Those were private
Unknown: Please

Danny: Well shit

Unknown: Hi

Danny: What do you want?

Unknown: What?

Danny: You want something right? This is blackmail since you know I am Phantom?

Unknown: No????

Danny: I am wanted by the government and you are telling me this isn't blackmail?
Danny: Baxter you are literally my menace

Unknown: I AM YOUR BIGGEST FAN WHY WOULD I DO THAT??

Danny: People change opinions rather quickly

Unknown: And mine being positive is so far fetch

Danny: given that you are usually my school problem? Yes

Unknown: I've changed over the years??

Danny: You bother me daily

Unknown: But it wasn't-
Unknown: I am trying

Danny: Are you now?

Unknown: I don't know how to ask in public it physically impossible with how many people watch me and how much your friends hover over you
Unknown: If I even remotely do a 180 in public they would have thought I was crazy

Danny: because you sound crazy
Danny: so maybe all we do is banter now but you still say a lot of shit.
Danny: I swear you live in a different world

Unknown: I do

Danny: So what was it you were going to ask

Unknown: I know it's extremely far fetch and definitely not warranted given that I am me and you definitely have some resentment towards me
Unknown: you always been cool and I envy every bite of that life style you have so I was wondering if we could be friends or something

Danny: ....

Unknown: I already knew it was going to be a no. It's the last thing I would deserve since I am "your biggest school problem" as you said. But it was worth a shot and that's all I could ask for.

Danny: Are you asking because I am Phantom or something else?

Unknown: what?

Danny: Are you asking to be friends because I am your idol or some parasocial bullshit?

Unknown: NO! I would have still asked even if I didn't know or you weren't also him

Danny: You know you are the only one that knows that right?

Unknown: What?

Danny: You are the only one that knows that I am also Phantom

Unknown: But Manson and Foley???

Danny: Don't know and if I can help it, never know

Unknown: Oh—
Unknown: For three years you've just
Unknown: hide this from everyone

Danny: Obviously.
Danny: Again I am wanted

Unknown: Yeah that part

Danny: How did you figure it out anyway?

Unknown: it was very risky but just once I tried sneaking a peek of Phantom with no gas mas. You were talking to the little girl Phantom

Danny: Wisp

Unknown: Yeah Wisp, you told her that "haunting the school would be easier" so I figured you were a student here that probably died but then you said you attended classes and I just started looking into it

Danny: Creep

Unknown: I know...

Danny: So the little things?

Unknown: Yeah

Danny: how long from point a to point b?

Unknown: Maybe 3 months?

Danny: Fairly long. If it was a week I would be pissed

Unknown: NO WAY

Danny: Not at you but at myself

Unknown: I mean we aren't that close

Danny: But you do stalk me daily so it means something

Unknown: Oh geez

Danny: You sound like a dork

Unknown: ...

Danny: are you secretly a dork Baxter?

Unknown: Is it that obvious?

Danny: Given that you pick on them, don't swear apparently and are a secret fanboy yeah explains a lot
Danny: Jealousy is one hell of a drug

Unknown: Hm

Danny: Look
Danny: I am setting ground rules here.

Unknown: Huh?

Danny: I will entertain this idea because it actually seems mildly interesting BUT under conditions if you can agree to that then we can make this work.

Unknown: Oh
Unknown: OH YEAH I CAN DO THAT

Danny: Don't just agree before I even mention anything yet

Unknown: I'm sat and listening

Danny: 1) Obviously: I hear a whiff of Danny is Phantom from anyone close to you I am cutting this off and letting the other Phantom's hunt you down.

Unknown: O h

Danny: I run a strict no nonsense policy. Just because I save people doesn't make me all nice and kind this is the real world. Any deluded fantasy of that was an idea of your own making as I am tired of people's BS.

Unknown: Okay fair one question?

Danny: Shoot.

Unknown: What if someone already has a theory? Not from me but they strongly believe it?

Danny: Wes?

Unknown: You know about him

Danny: Of course. I like fucking with him. It's funny to watch him scramble as no one believes him.

Unknown: So?

Danny: If it's wes it's fine. If he manages to convince someone else you tell me immediately.

Unknown: Understood

Danny: 2) Actually improve your personality so it matches the actual way you feel. None of this rude in person but kind at home. Show your change and perhaps I'll take you more seriously. Yes it is hard given that your reputation is built on it but that's the price you'll have to pay. It's junior year you have 2 years before graduation make it work.

Unknown: Okay

Danny: 3) while improving during the second condition this friendship stays online unless 1. we get assigned to work together or 2. I can actually see the improvements
Danny: We can try this and your demeanor if you really want this will be up to you. But also don't just change cause I say so. Authenticity is key, it's not just me but others.

Unknown: Yeah
Unknown: It's definitely not just you

Danny: You are so much more understanding this why and it's throwing me off

Unknown: Sorry?

Danny: Nah It's just me speaking my mind

Unknown: Which I've noted

Danny: Ghosts are more honest than humans are.

Unknown: I do have a ghost question?

Danny: Shoot

Unknown: Do all ghosts have a like human for or?

Danny: That's just me. Technically me and the other Phantom's. It is complicated with the others but I am half ghost half human so I do just have that perk of being alive and dead

Unknown: Schrödinger's cat

Danny: Exactly that

Unknown: another question

Danny: just ask like a normal person Dash

Unknown: if you are both why does it sound like you are more aligned with the ghost over the human half?

Danny: Oh

Unknown: Rude question Im sorry

Danny: Ew don't apologize for that

Unknown: you sounded offended

Danny: Thats a message not a sound you goof

Unknown: Yeah but tone

Danny: Not rude, caught off guard definitely but not rude

Unknown: Oh okay

Danny: I guess, I like hanging with ghosts more. Yeah I grew up human but that's about it, I live among them but even then I have more hate from the human side than from the ghost side.
Danny: Ghost attack because they want to be seen, remembered or they are just playing around but don't realize that it could hurt someone. The humans just have greed. They want me for science, nothing more than a pet or experiment. I'm not a test subject I'm a person. I don't like being dehumanized which just fuels my dislike for that side of things.

Unknown: I guess from your perspective there's a lot more negative than positive things in the human side of things.

Danny: There is.
Danny: BUT
Danny: With this change of yours it's one less problem for me and probably one more positive point for humanity
Danny: Humans change so I guess second chances are worth something

Unknown: I'm glad

Danny: Good anymore questions or can I go back to sleep

Unknown: OH SHIT
Unknown: Right you are extremely tired I'm fine im good probably over the moon right now

Danny: Like Artemis II huh

Unknown: oh?

Danny: Ha space joke you'll gst it eventually
Danny: get me going on space and you will never hear the end of it

Unknown: Ha noted

Danny changed Unknowns name to Oversized Bean

Oversized Bean: ???

Danny: 1) Because it was the first thought I had
Danny: 2) Just in case you text me while someone is looking over my shoulder

Oversized Bean: Fair
Oversized Bean: but a bean?

Danny: yes

Oversized Bean: understandable good day

Danny: BWAHAHAHAHA
Danny: anyway I'ma crash now

Oversized Bean: good night Fenton

Danny: Danny*
Danny: we are friends now

Oversized Bean: sksksksk right
Oversized Bean: good night Danny

Oversized Bean, Danny November 3rd 12:15 p.m.
______________________________

Danny: Are you okay?

Oversized Bean: Near miss I'm okay

Danny: Why were you outside?

Oversized Bean: The fire alarm was pulled

Danny: Ugh worst timing. No one was hurt right?

Oversized Bean: No we are all okay down here, you?

Danny: I'm fine. Fucking Vlad

Oversized Bean: Vlad?

Danny: Wait HA SINCE YOU KNOW
Danny: Plasmus is the shitty Mayor

Oversized Bean: MAYOR MASTERS IS A VILLAIN?!

Danny: Yep and my biggest thorn in the side

Oversized Bean: I wouldn't have expected that

Danny: No one would
Danny: Which is exactly why I hate him
Danny: Rich bitch
Danny: Fruitloop

Oversized Bean: Oh Wes pulled the alarm to get everyone outside

Danny: ....
Danny: He is trying to get people killed????

Oversized Bean: He wasn't thinking

Danny: Clearly I'll deal with him after I deal with Vlad

Oversized Bean: I can handle it

Danny: Huh?

Oversized Bean: I could have gotten hurt or someone else could have gotten hurt. It wouldn't be suspicious if I said something to him. It was dumb and reckless so I'll handle it so you can focus on the mayor

Danny: I'll take it. Less shit on my plate

Oversized Bean: 👍

1:20 pm
Danny: Finally back

Oversized Bean: I can see that, you should have went home

Danny: Like hell, they would think I skipped

Oversized Bean: Technically but you don't look okay at all

Danny: I went to the nurse already. I'm patched they think I got struck by the fight earlier it's fine
Danny: why is everyone giving you a side eye?
Danny: like every 5 seconds from here someone is staring at you

Oversized Bean: Gave Wes an ear full, no one was expecting it

Danny: Ha he deserved it
Danny: I wish I saw his face

Oversized Bean: very scared in the moment as my berating caught the teachers attention and landed him with week detention

Danny: KARMA IS GLORIOUS

Oversized Bean: that brighten your mood

Danny: Of course it did
Danny: I can understand being obsessed but dragging other people into it is NEVER the way. If people get hurt because of selfishness like that they deserve the worst. Knowing where to draw the line keeps people alive.

Oversized Bean: Spoken like a hero

Danny: Nah spoken like a ghost
Danny: Obsessions are like our thing

Oversized Bean: Really?

Danny: Yeah. I do like protecting people but I'm not tied to it. I love space, my ambitions and everything I grew up wishing for was tied to that.

Oversized Bean: woo
Oversized Bean: well we do have a pretty sky at night

Danny: IT'S PERFECT NO NOTES
Danny: the amount of constellations and galaxies you can see from here on this very spot. Even then one day I want to go up north and see if I can catch an Aurora borealis just once because of how majestic it is.

Oversized Bean: Aurora borealis?

Danny: Northern lights

Oversized Bean: Ah
Oversized Bean: I don't know much about sky stuff but that sounds cool

Danny: then what kind of stuff do you know? Because I really don't know much aside from football and apparently that you're a dork

Oversized Bean: is it weird to say the ocean?

Danny: why would it be weird?

Oversized Bean: I mean we don't live anywhere near the ocean so if I were to say that people would think I was weird

Danny: everyone's weird
Danny: are you thinking about like marine biology or just a normal fascination?

Oversized Bean: Paleoceanography and Geological Oceanography?

Danny: holy big words

Oversized Bean: pff
Oversized Bean: study of the Earth's history underwater and the shift in the Titanic plates underwater and how it creates underwater mountains and trenches

Danny: oh my God you're nerd not even a dork

Oversized Bean: eeeeeeh

 

Danny: no shade well no just a little
Danny: we both like the most unexplored territories of life that's fine

Oversized Bean: hahahahaha true

Danny: no one knows what's at the bottom of the Mariana trench and nobody knows what happens inside of a black hole

Oversized Bean: the only thing they could guarantee is that certified death for both of them

Danny: YEP

Oversized Bean: Did you just snort out loud

Danny: No that was a sneeze

Oversized Bean: mhm-

Danny: Don't look at me or you will make me laugh

Oversized Bean: Your friends are giving you strange looks

Danny: I'll live

Oversized Bean: Lancer is judging you

Danny: as long as you don't look at me we are fine

Oversized Bean: as cool as a sea cucumber

Danny: ....
Danny: you didn't hear that

Oversized Bean: "Mr.fenton are you okay?" I think we all heard that

Danny: NO YOU DIDN'T

Oversized Bean: Were you always this easy to make laugh?

Danny: it's just the idea of you being an absolute nerd this entire time is so funny that now every time that you just make a joke I can't help it

Oversized Bean: my inconsistency is what's making you laugh I sea

Danny: ....

Oversized Bean: you're going to get detention if you keep going

Danny: FUCK YOU

Oversized Bean: I did nothin

Danny: like hell you didn't

Oversized Bean: :)

Danny: >:/

5:40 p.m.
Oversized Bean: Did you get home alright?

Danny: I told you I was fine earlier didn't I

Oversized Bean: Yeah but

Danny: But what?

Oversized Bean: I heard that you may have gotten slammed into a locker earlier but one of my teammates

Danny: I'm a lot sturdier than I look

Oversized Bean: Hm

Danny: worried because I was already pre-injured

Oversized Bean: yes

Danny: I promise you I'm fine nothing compares to getting slammed into concrete brick buildings by a grown adult with enhanced strength and magical powers

Oversized Bean: O h

Danny: yeah you guys really don't knock as hard as they do but I appreciate the concern I'm fine genuinely I have rapid healing
Danny: unless it's poison but I highly doubt any of you guys have anything effective against me

Oversized Bean: has a human tried poisoning you before??

Danny: aside from my parents cooking no but there is nothing stopping someone from probably attempting it in the future

Oversized Bean: okay I have several questions

Danny: their food could give anyone food poisoning and radiation poisoning at the same time
Danny: I wouldn't put it past Vlad Masters to try roping in people to kill me
Danny: anyone who tries can succeed at murder

Oversized Bean: I have no more questions

Danny: HA
Danny: easily predictable

Oversized Bean: Hey I don't think I'm that easy or am I

Danny: once i figured out what exactly is your problem yeah you pretty much are

Oversized Bean: oh

Danny: no offense

Oversized Bean: no i see it

Danny: but for the most part I would say it has been a good first day
Danny: obviously no slacking but a good day

Oversized Bean: I got about three questions from Paulina because of the whole Wes thing

Danny: that is to be expected as she would probably have a rage fit not knowing that someone was about to get flamed

Oversized Bean: it was in between that and her finally breaking up with me?

Danny: I beg your finest pardons?!

Oversized Bean: yeah I've been kind of waiting for this

Danny: you're okay with breaking up with her
Danny: oh
Danny: okay

Oversized Bean: I get it she is pretty much everyone's favorite crush and The It Girl but dating her is a lot

Danny: I mean I get it kind of because of you know freshman year
Danny: but she broke up with you and you didn't seem so upset about it you wanted her to break up with you but you didn't want to be the one to break up with her?

Oversized Bean: to be honest Paulina is great as a friend but partner is again a lot
Oversized Bean: honestly I thought she would have broken up with me last year but she didn't and it just didn't feel right

Danny: oh wow
Danny: do the other a-listers know this or am I the first one you're telling?

Oversized Bean: ah shit sorry I didn't mean to trauma dump be technically you're the first one to know

Danny: no it's all cool I mean I wouldn't have expected me being the first option to do so given how new this is but you seem to need an outlet and one that isn't judgment
Danny: again no offense
Danny: the a-listers seem to be kind of intense when it comes to the stuff

Oversized Bean: yeah they are and they're great friends but everything else is just not it right now and I really don't feel like talking to them
Oversized Bean: Paulina will probably end up breaking the news to the girls anyway
Oversized Bean: and then the guys will learn from their girlfriends and I'll go back to being the only single person in the friend group

Danny: no harm no foul honestly take it strides as now we're both twinning in that department

Oversized Bean: I thought you and Manson were dating?

Danny: with the lifestyle I live no
Danny: take it as an also Sam is great as a friend but as a partner probably the last thing I wanted to do
Danny: plus I'm pretty sure Tucker has a crush on her

Oversized Bean: Foley is always the unexpected one

Danny: that's what I thought too especially with the whole meat versus plant the buckle the two of them have but I'm pretty sure that's just their way of flirting

Oversized Bean: as long as she doesn't change the menu again I'm not arguing

Danny: amen to that
Danny: grass on a piece of toast was the worst idea ever and I don't know who approved of that

Oversized Bean: the school board apparently

Danny: meanwhile the teachers were having a meat buffet in the staff room

Oversized Bean: wait for real what the hell

Danny: gasp he swears

Oversized Bean: a mild one not like you

Danny: only so hardcore when I'm either tired or mad

Oversized Bean: I'm assuming yesterday was both

Danny: with the double whammy of me thinking that you were blackmailing me

Oversized Bean: I would never do that and I would take my entire like livelihood on that

Danny: good because technically you have
Danny: steak your entire livelihood

Oversized Bean: yes because apparently I'm going to be hunted if something were to happen
Oversized Bean: I don't want to be hunted but I also would never unless somebody was too possess me which I hope not

Danny: you know what I'm going to get you something so we can avoid that actually good catch

Oversized Bean: wait avoid being possessed?

Danny: yeah I'm pretty sure there's something for the in the realms I would have to just ask or maybe I own it I don't know

Oversized Bean: you can just get stuff to stop other ghosts from possessing humans?

Danny: I mean it might be a limited supply and since you're holding pretty much a well-guarded secret that is my entire afterlife I think I would want to avoid you getting hurt or possessed

Oversized Bean: fair enough

Danny: were you trying to think of something else?

Oversized Bean: I mean if it was an unlimited supply then it would stop a lot of the problems happening in Amity Park

Danny: I mean it could if that was true but even then some people just deserve it
Danny: a lesson than save them

Oversized Bean: do you let it happen sometimes?

Danny: I told you I wasn't a hero
Danny: I just want to protect my haunt and sometimes that includes all the people in it even if some of them are assholes
Danny: there are some people that deserve it
Danny: if it scares them out of doing the shitty stuff that they do that I think it's kind of worth it

Oversized Bean: was I one of them?

Danny: now why would I tell you that? Though with that kind of question I think you already know the answer.

Oversized Bean: oh

Danny: I did warn you that any fantasy that you may have thought about Phantom are just fantasies and that reality is drastically different

Oversized Bean: you did but it also explains a lot about you
Oversized Bean: not exactly the morally white but more morally grey

Danny: after dealing with people for almost 3 years on both sides yeah the moral High ground starts to wane a bit

Oversized Bean: but it's not like you're weighing people's lives you're still helping them you're just making sure that the ones that cause the most damage still get the karma they deserve

Danny: what you said is a bit of a contradiction as overshadowing a human does have the chance of taking the humans life but yeah I guess so

Oversized Bean: wait what

Danny: if the human starts to lose its humanity while the ghost is overshadowing them and adding extra limbs or stuff they're gone once that transformation is over

Oversized Bean: OH so

Danny: what gets left behind is a husk and eventually a few days afterwards it dies permanently

Oversized Bean: ghosts are a lot more terrifying than I thought they were

Danny: they are I never said that they were good I just said that I like hanging out with some of them
Danny: both sides are insanely messy and I deal with most ghosts to make sure that doesn't happen but I'm also just one person
Danny: which is why Wisp and wraith usually are the ones to assist if something like that were to happen
Danny: if my hands are too full

Oversized Bean: it's good to have help as I think you would have probably overloaded and exploded by now

Danny: oh absolutely I have had moments where i could have crossed the line but thankfully I didn't

Oversized Bean: thank God for that

Danny: there's also Huntress who occasionally likes helping

Oversized Bean: do I know who that is?

Danny: Hahaha yeah

Oversized Bean: oh no

Danny: she would probably hate me saying this but she also doesn't know who I am so eh

Oversized Bean: okay maybe don't tell me

Danny: come on I know you're curious

Oversized Bean: yeah but I also don't want her to like skin me alive

Danny: you're human for the most part

Oversized Bean: what do you mean by that

Danny: don't worry about it
Danny: what you should worry about is one of the other phantoms coming to see you randomly

Oversized Bean: Why???

Danny: because I had to tell them I work with them and they're my family

Oversized Bean: wait like your actual family or

Danny: wisp is a clone and wraith is me from the future. Technically they're both me but they're their own person so family

Oversized Bean: oh that leaves me with several more questions

Danny: Wisp was created by Vlad by on purpose but also by accident because he was trying to make the perfect clone of me and she was the only one to survive and is very much not me
Danny: Wraith is a whole complicated set of solutions and problems coming to life as he's the result of the butterfly effect. We do not know why but after a lot of arguing and his extensive time in a soup can he has come around to helping out as his parole time

Oversized Bean: he was a villain wait they were both villains unless wisp was a runaway

Danny: no they were both my problem at some point but now they aren't and they live in a house on the outskirts of town to just avoid people in general and Vlad
Danny: as Vlad seems to be the source of both of their problems actually yeah we do not like that fruit loop here

Oversized Bean: I have a feeling that all things just lead back to this man having problems

Danny: oh absolutely I wouldn't have died and came back to life if it wasn't for the fact that he was immensely in love with my mother while in college and insanely jealous of my dad getting with her

Oversized Bean: holy butterfly effect what

Danny: you do not understand how much I wanted to rant about this man just someone who doesn't already know
Danny: yes he is the biggest issue everybody has

Oversized Bean: I can see that now and I'm sure there are a lot more

Danny: he almost caused the end of the world several times and technically is the reason why Wraith timeline doesn't exist anymore

Oversized Bean: so if he was to ever win

Danny: the end of the world

Oversized Bean: I don't like that I know that now I will never be able to look at him the same

Danny: hahaha you did ask technically

Oversized Bean: yea

Danny: anyway I'm going to go beat up a pillow and then go to bed

Oversized Bean: this early?

Danny: it's going to be a nap and then I'm going to wake up in the middle of the night and probably finish my homework all is good

Oversized Bean: well then have a lovely nap

Danny: raaaaa

Oversized Bean, Danny November 12th 9:30 p.m.
______________________________

Oversized Bean: do you think if they sent the jellyfish up into space it would die?

Danny: Oh?
Danny: I am glad you have gotten more comfortable to ask me a random questions but this is not what I was expecting

Oversized Bean: we have small conversations everyday but it's usually some sort of rent or ramble in between our daily lives so I thought maybe I could just start one randomly

Danny: well I approve
Danny: also to answer your question it would die because the water would boil over before freezing killing the jellyfish

Oversized Bean: oh sad
Oversized Bean: it was mostly thinking about it as in a sense of since the jellyfish really doesn't have much of anything going on that it could probably survive if under the right condition

Danny: okay in this hypothetical if that was to be the case and it was under like the most advanced tech Maybe
Danny: of course there's always the option of magic

Oversized Bean: magic

Danny: you know technically I am a magical creature

Oversized Bean: right ghosts are technically Magic

Danny: that in Eldritch abominations tend to fall in that category

Oversized Bean: pardon?

Danny: don't worry too much about it

Oversized Bean: the more you say that the more I do worry

Danny: nahhh
Danny: well hypothetically we could try Magic I know a few people who would be down for that

Oversized Bean: taking a random jellyfish out of the ocean and taking it to space??
Oversized Bean: wouldn't you like double die if you go to space

Danny: fun fact I don't need to breathe

Oversized Bean: it's incredibly cold in space as you said you would probably freeze no?

Danny: nope I will be fine I also have ghost biology as Phantom which includes being immune to the cold

Oversized Bean: is there literally anything that you can't do

Danny: take a vacation because Vlad is prepping every 5 minutes
Danny: speaking of which I actually have to do something
Danny: how strange would it be if I just show up to your house as Phantom

Oversized Bean: HUH
Oversized Bean: WHY??

Danny: I need to give you something

Oversized Bean: I mean could you give it to me at school tomorrow?

Danny: I could but also if I do it now it drops the chances so it would be easier if I just gave it to you now instead of later

Oversized Bean: drops the chances of what??

Danny: don't worry about it can I just show up or do you really think it's going to be a problem if me just showing up

Oversized Bean: I mean if you are quick about it maybe my parents are a tad

Danny: strict?

Oversized Bean: religious.

Danny: OH

Oversized Bean: YEAH THEY KIND OF THINK THAT YOU'RE A DEMON FROM HELL SO HAHAHA

Danny: Pff I have met actual demons not that bad

Oversized Bean: I'm sorry what

Danny: did you think the Ghost Zone was just a bunch of ghosts?
Danny: nah that is just a small part of what's on the other side of the portal it is just in random people's basements
Danny: I say random people as if I don't know the owners of both portals

Oversized Bean: so there's portals to the place where ghosts are coming from

Danny: yes as one of them is in my parents and the other one is with the evil vampire

Oversized Bean: of course he has one because why not

Danny: yes I'm conditioning you into believing this man is pure evil

Oversized Bean: no real conditioning when I have eyes and can just see him

Danny: HA
Danny: yeah most of the good problems come out of whichever hole and depending on the circumstances and the teaming with Vlad if they come out his pocket hole

Oversized Bean: of course

Danny: though I've only known like two ghosts that would willingly work with him but that's because they're both assholes

Oversized Bean: fair enough

Danny: the ones that come out of the Fenton portal are either here to hang out which means that you don't see them about 75% of the time or new and don't know how things run around here make a mess I deal with them and send them back

Oversized Bean: that seems like an efficient plan

Danny: yes but we are getting distracted now the jellyfish thing

Oversized Bean: oh god

Danny: I can ask you about the jellyfish thing in person I am flying towards your house by the way

Oversized Bean: OH

Danny: don't worry I'll just leave it in your room

Oversized Bean: OH NO PLEASE NO

Danny: Okay? That doesn't sound suspicious I don't

Oversized Bean: eh it's not clean and I can just meet you outside
Oversized Bean: on my balcony

Danny: of course you have a balcony

Oversized Bean: I'm still technically in a-lister

Danny: Yeah but you seem so out of place in that group now

Oversized Bean: everybody seems to have their own agenda it will eventually make sense maybe

Danny: maybe

Oversized Bean: hopefully

Danny: nice PJs

Oversized Bean: I- where are you?

Danny: watching from a distance as you're very Winnie the Pooh PJs are standing out

Oversized Bean: Hey just show yourself please this is more embarrassing than I need to be as it's already late

Danny: ehe yeah yeah I'm coming

11:30 p.m.

Oversized Bean: so bracelet

Danny: yes bracelet

Oversized Bean: I didn't ask why you were here but why didn't you just say it was a bracelet for the ghost thing that we talked about

Danny: because I'm extra

Oversized Bean: ha
Oversized Bean: where did you even find something like this?

Danny: I kind of won this creepy looking Palace thing and it was in there
Danny: I did ask about its side effects and making sure I'm not giving you a cursed item
Danny: the last thing we need is a repeat of Paulina the Dragon

Oversized Bean: I'm surprised she lived since you know the whole modify human body thing

Danny: that's because she was changed by a curse amulet and not a ghost
Danny: magic is weird but death magic is a surefire way of getting someone killed as it should only be used by the Dead

Oversized Bean: fair enough
Oversized Bean: does a person you ask explain how it was supposed to work

Danny: as long as it's visible to any ghosts within the area it should deter them

Oversized Bean: that sounds crazy powerful for someone like me to have

Danny: it's a guarantee to keep any ghosts from overshadowing you and that's all it really needs to do

Oversized Bean: cool
Oversized Bean: it doesn't really look out of place I mean I would have to try to make sure my parents don't see it but at school it looks so authentically real they probably think my parents got it for me

Danny: oh definitely that is actual gold and silver

Oversized Bean: wait seriously

Danny: creepy Palace from a threat to the planet so yes he was also technically a king and apparently all his riches became my riches so idk I think so

Oversized Bean: I don't think you realize that you single-handedly became the most richest person in school

Danny: well yeah but it's not like I'm going to flex it I don't really care and also I don't need people trying to be my friend because I am richer than them
Danny: also because I'm pretty sure that Sam would want me to use the entire thing to like cure the planet or something
Danny: not that I wouldn't but at the same time I would have me need to convert all of the money and it would look suspicious for a random 17 year old to just go to a bank and convert money like that without raising questions

Oversized Bean: right because it's not like you can say that you won it from a ghost without looking suspicious or crazy

Danny: exactly
Danny: so I just don't tell anybody I have it well besides you but that's because you asked where the bracelet came from

Oversized Bean: it's a very cool looking bracelet

Danny: and I'm glad that you enjoyed the design but please remember the original reason you have it

Oversized Bean: I won't die or say something I shouldn't

Danny: right good I am going to go to bed now and you should to

Oversized Bean: good night Danny

Danny: night dash

______________________________

Oversized Bean, Danny November 19th 1:30 p.m.
______________________________

Oversized Bean: I have a question

Danny: back to this again
Danny: you can just ask the question dude

Oversized Bean: who did you ask about this bracelet?

Danny: technically my mentor why?

Oversized Bean: well I just ran into a ghost

Danny: Are you okay? Who was it? I swear to God if it didn't work.

Oversized Bean: no it did work well not in the way that I thought it would

Danny: Dash

Oversized Bean: the strange looking knight guy he did not give me his name

Danny: did he have purple flame looking hair you can barely see his face but you can see the color of his eyes?

Oversized Bean: Yea!

Danny: that is the spirit of Halloween

Oversized Bean: it's November-

Danny: don't worry about that
Danny: what happened between the two of you?
Danny: in fact let me come find you

Oversized Bean: no it's okay he's already left
Oversized Bean: and I'm fine it's just what he said was weird

Danny: explain

Oversized Bean: I was just taking my books out of my locker for the next period and he just showed up. But first I thought he was going to attack me given that he was fucking huge.

Danny: holy shit did my swearing rub off on you

Oversized Bean: probably but that's not the point

Danny: right carry on

Oversized Bean: I freaked out and I made sure that the bracelet was visible and he just looked me up and down.
Oversized Bean: "I see so you're him" did a weird little bow and then just dipped

Danny: huh

Oversized Bean: that's what I said it was very weird and now I'm confused and I'm worried

Danny: CW said that they would avoid you at all costs but that was not what I was expecting

Oversized Bean: so I'm not crazy for thinking that was incredibly strange since it kind of just contradicted everything that was supposed to happen right

Danny: unless it's supposed to be some sort of weird verification and it just starts like this?

Oversized Bean: I DON'T KNOW

Danny: okay don't panic I am going to go check with my mentor again and make sure everything is in order. This might be a one-time thing since the spirit of Halloween is kind of weird
Danny: I'll handle it

Oversized Bean: cool cool I hope I don't die

Danny: why do you think you will??

Oversized Bean: I don't know random guy just showed up in a suit of armor and a blaze of fire and a horse and he looks like one of the four horsemen and I have religious trauma

Danny: I
Danny: oh my God I forgot about that

Oversized Bean: FORGOT ABOUT WHAT

Danny: I mean multiple things here but for the most part that your family is religious
Danny: technically and this is a lot here he is death or what you humans think is death as one of the four horsemen

Oversized Bean: wait what

Danny: oh my God I could hear that message

Oversized Bean: DANNY

Danny: RIGHT RIGHT
Danny: so a lot of mythology is based off of experiences and things that people have seen and also the infinite realms is huge and every religion does technically exist by some capacity
Danny: Fright Night is technically one of the four horsemen as I'm pretty sure I asked about it once to him and he told me that it was one of those nights where he and his friends were just vibing and people misunderstood it
Danny: of course that's not word for word what he said but you know what I mean

Oversized Bean: so I just met one of the four horsemen and I could have died

Danny: again you weren't going to die as that's not really what he does
Danny: he may look like that but he is not dead he's the spirit of fear and Halloween
Danny: he actually just gives you nightmares and if there's nightmares are so frightening you die from a heart attack I can see why people would think it's death

Oversized Bean: so you just know the guy

Danny: I know a lot of people

Oversized Bean: I have never realized how incredibly confusing it is to be a friend to you

Danny: given that you're the only one that knows a lot

Oversized Bean: my insanity is just in the roof

Danny: you were warned and you didn't take my warning at face value

Oversized Bean: I did take it at face value I just didn't think it would be this bad

Danny: are you reconsidering

Oversized Bean: NO

Danny: haha no harm in asking

Oversized Bean: complete harm in asking as it kills your self-esteem

Danny: I didn't realize we were at the calling out phase

Oversized Bean: I am in too deep for you to get rid of me now

Danny: clearly
Danny: but hey you have been making both progress and very funny memories for me

Oversized Bean: you find my fishy sense of humor interesting

Danny: I like puns I don't know what you want from me

Oversized Bean: don't blow this fish out of proportion

Danny: I knew I got a strange side eye for my sister

Oversized Bean: I thought she was off to college

Danny: she is in college she just came back home early for Thanksgiving

Oversized Bean: Oo
Oversized Bean: that must be nice

Danny: not really given those to my parents are still trying to hunt down Phantom and that the last two times we had Thanksgiving the turkey came to life

Oversized Bean: o h

Danny: yeah it's not really a tradition it's more of a food War in which the food comes to life and tries taking over the house

Oversized Bean: what the hell

Danny: Just happens

Oversized Bean: well it shouldn't????

Danny: pff anyway I'm ditching class for a bit to see what Cw says. Don't combust while im gone

Oversized Bean: I can do that??

Danny: Just slang geez

Oversized Bean: No one says that??

Danny: I do all the time!

Oversized Bean: to Manson and Foley yeah but thats it

Danny: okay true

Oversized Bean: :/

Danny: Ha
Danny: Anyway im off

Oversized Bean: good luck

9:30 p.m.
Danny: I'm back
Danny: Damn its late

Oversized Bean: late? LATE? UNDERSTATEMENT

Danny: Woo chill did something happen while I was gone

Oversized Bean: Aside a hoard of little green things following me around no

Danny: Oh blob ghosts
Danny: They have weird habits of attaching themselves to people

Oversized Bean: one second they weren't there the next they were

Danny: Yea blob ghosts are usually invisible to people, it's even weirder than people seeing full ghosts

Oversized Bean: should I be worried?

Danny: Nah they are harmless

Oversized Bean: Am i being indoctrinated into the ghost community?

Danny: you make it sound like a cult

Oversized Bean: am i wrong?

Danny: Not really indoctrinated but more acknowledgement

Oversized Bean: more wise words from your mentor

Danny: He said only Fright would act like that but it should work as intended for ghosts from the realms

Oversized Bean: which means?

Danny: The only ones it doesn't affect would be the phantoms and much to my dismay, Vlad

Oversized Bean: I mean that narrows it down to 1%

Danny: I really rather it be 0 but fuck it we will have to make sure Vlad never gets you alone

Oversized Bean: that just sounds wrong

Danny: it's how he is.
Danny: everything about him sounds and looks wrong

Oversized Bean: I'm going to okay though

Danny: Yeah. I promise.

Oversized Bean: That's nice at least

Danny: Welp time to sneak home

Oversized Bean: Good luck

Danny: ✌️

Oversized Bean, Danny November 28th 11:30 a.m.

Oversized Bean: Whales would have been a better idea for mural

Danny: Why whales? The plant options are just fine.

Oversized Bean: ....
Oversized Bean: Who is this?

Danny: Wdym?

Oversized Bean: You aren't Danny who are you?

Danny: Idk what you're talking about dude

Oversized Bean: I'm not dumb Danny wouldn't have asked about the whales

Danny: Well crap

Oversized Bean: and he would have actually sworn there
Oversized Bean: Sam Manson and Tucker Foley.

Danny: WELL SINCE YOU GOT US ALL FIGURED OUT MYSTERY MAN WHO ARE YOU??

Oversized Bean: None of your business give Danny his phone back

Danny: Oh come on even a little hint wouldn't hurt

Oversized Bean: It would and could give Danny his phone back

Danny: Ugh you two were made for each other refusing to tell us anything

Oversized Bean: Because it's not your business unless he wants to tell you???

Danny: Boooo
Danny: Fess up who you are and we will give it back

Oversized Bean: Danny didn't give his phone up willingly so you stole it didn't you?

Danny: Just answer the question

Oversized Bean: I rather not

Danny: you been texting for weeks yet all mentions of your name are gone here so come on

Oversized Bean: he deleted them because he knows you people. So no.

Danny: Suenamahdnebj—

Oversized Bean: Whatever Karma came to you was deserved

Danny: Fucking knew this was gonna happen

Oversized Bean: Hi

Danny: Hey sorry about them. Need to handle this I'll text you later

Oversized Bean: All good

Danny: Also Yeah whales would have been a perfect idea, maybe with those little sea bunnies you showed me

Oversized Bean: You see the vision!

Danny: Of course I do. Brb

12:30 p.m.

Danny: What are you doing for lunch?

Oversized Bean: Sitting at my usual table? Something up?

Danny: Wanna join me by under the bleachers?

Oversized Bean: MWHGSBA
Oversized Bean: For lunch?

Danny: Yea? Are you good? Did you drop your phone?

Oversized Bean: No! Yes! I mean
Oversized Bean: I can slip away! Yea I can join you.

Danny: Cool.
Danny: It will just be us btw idk if you are cool with that?

Oversized Bean: Kwksnmzmskzn

Danny: :/
Danny: Are you sure you are good?

Oversized Bean: Just fine! Peachy even!
Oversized Bean: Did um something happen with the phone stealers?

Danny: I'm annoyed, Sam doesn't listen and Tucker didn't even try to pretend he was sorry.
Danny: I told them give me time and yet they went ahead with it anyway. So I'd rather spend my lunch with someone civilized and listen to your whale rant over "not telling us about your new friend"

Oversized Bean: Honestly I thought you would have told them

Danny: Why?

Oversized Bean: Well it's me and they are your best friends

Danny: your point?

Oversized Bean: I was your nightmare freshman year and they hated me more than anything

Danny: If I had told them we wouldn't be having this conversation. They would have tried persuading me out of it.
Danny: I am my own person so I can make my own choices
Danny: I choice to give you a chance and you have not failed in that department. You've improved enough that it's noticeable. Berating you for past mistakes and throwing you to the wolves will not help you.
Danny: if this was a mistake I can only blame myself and I can own up to that but you prove time and time again its not just by letting go of the crap persona and being your self

Oversized Bean: I
Oversized Bean: Oh
Oversized Bean: Um thank you

Danny: Your welcome
Danny: So lunch?

Oversized Bean: Yes! I'm coming

Danny: 👍

5:25 p.m.
Oversized Bean: Wraith is huge I don't know what I did but he is just starting at me

Danny: Remember he is also technically me and his dash did not redeem himself

Oversized Bean: Oh
Oversized Bean: O h
Oversized Bean: He hasn't said anything just staring from the woods as I'm on the sidewalk

Danny: Is he ghost?

Oversized Bean: yes
Oversized Bean: OH GODHOUFBBFDA-

Danny: DASH????

Oversized Bean: Chill out I didn't hurt the kid

Danny: Dan give him his phone back and leave him alone

Oversized Bean: he fainted

Danny: DAN

Oversized Bean: I didn't even do anything yet

Danny: Uh huh?
Danny: Where are you?

Oversized Bean: I can take him home whelp

Danny: I rather do it myself

Oversized Bean: because of your attachment

Danny: No?!

Oversized Bean: You would have the lie better than that if you think I don't see what you are doing.

Danny: Please shut up and just tell me where you are.

Oversized Bean: Delivering him to his house.

Danny: Wraith

Oversized Bean: Phantom

Danny: tsk
Danny: Drop him off in his room and leave

Oversized Bean: that was already the plan

Danny: Invisibility as his parents think we are demons

Oversized Bean: Well I wouldn't be so opposed to that idea

Danny: Don't even start

Oversized Bean: You are a buzz kill little brother

Danny: And you are a pain in the ass big brother

Oversized Bean: odd room

Danny: Dan

Oversized Bean: Yes yes he is delivered safely. I will him and his device be.

Danny: Good

6:15 p.m.
Oversized Bean: I'M HOME?!

Danny: Good morning sleeping beauty

Oversized Bean: That was so embarrassing

Danny: Mildly funny but mostly concerned
Danny: Are you okay?

Oversized Bean: Im fine but he is also your family, did you think he wouldn't be?

Danny: No harm in checking

Oversized Bean: Oh god he came into my room didn't he

Danny: to drop you off safely

Oversized Bean: he didn't say anything right?

Danny: You can scroll up I promise you nothing funny

Oversized Bean: oh he is going to kill me when we are alone again

Danny: No he won't.
Danny: He wouldn't dare to
Danny: You are fine Dash

Oversized Bean: He probably thinks I'm a freak and since he is literally a doomsday weapon he will end me first

Danny: Dash

Oversized Bean: I'm sorry for being odd or strange or—
Oversized Bean: The ground shook

Danny: Fuck
Danny: Ghost incoming
Danny: You. Stop freaking out.
Danny: We will talk about this later.

Oversized Bean: I

Danny: Later

Oversized Bean: Okay

Danny: Don't go outside

Oversized Bean: Okay

11:59 p.m.

Danny: Are you up?
Danny: I guess you wouldn't be
Danny: Good night Dash.

Danny: If you weren't avoiding me it wouldn't have been necessary

Oversized Bean: I'm not

Danny: you haven't texted me since last week so yes avoiding me

Oversized Bean: I don't have anything to say

Danny: Yes you do
Danny: You definitely do or else you wouldn't be distracted.

Oversized Bean: I'm not?!

Danny: Literally watched you get hit in the face with a football that usually catch

Oversized Bean: You saw that

Danny: Hard not too
Danny: Just talk to me Dash

Oversized Bean: I can't

Danny: Why not?
Danny: We were doing so well

Oversized Bean: It's just because of that I can't
Oversized Bean: I just
Oversized Bean: I shouldn't have let this idea get to my head. That we could be friends without me being weird about it.

Danny: What on earth are you talking about

Oversized Bean: Its wrong, creepy and your brother saw it all. He probably told you. He definitely should have since it's not normal and I should just stop talking to you.

Danny: The logic is all over the map and making 0 sense here
Danny: Dash if Dan had told me anything why would I be bugging you if you think I would have the worst reaction to it

Oversized Bean: I DON'T KNOW
Oversized Bean: I learn something new about you every day I wouldn't put it past you to do that too

Danny: Dash

Oversized Bean: What?

Danny: Just talk to me. I don't care about anyone secret unless it comes from the source which btw he didn't tell me anything. I can't figure this out if you are just throwing random pieces of a puzzle at me.
Danny: So please. I want this to work. It's been a good month until now. Did I do something wrong to give you this wrong impression?

Oversized Bean: NO! Never.

Danny: Then?

Oversized Bean: I
Oversized Bean: Um

Danny: Take your time I'm watching

Oversized Bean: Okay
Oversized Bean: I know it's not normal to like sneak pictures without asking but I always wanted to get pictures of Phantom yk?
Oversized Bean: but at some point it stopped being picture of just action and more candid ones.
Oversized Bean: then it stopped being just phantom
Oversized Bean: it started getting more frequent when I took them

Danny: you have pictures of me?

Oversized Bean: as phantom

Danny: and Fenton?

Oversized Bean: yea...

Danny: together

Oversized Bean: too many of them

Danny: too many how?

Oversized Bean: boxes?

Danny: oh wow

Oversized Bean: I'm sorry. I know I should have told you. I should have stopped after finding out about the whole identity and DEFINITELY before you said okay but I didn't. If anything I just got worse and it's weird and creepy and I will completely understand if you want to cut ties now. Ot if you hate me.

Danny: ....
Danny: This
Danny: Okay Dash no I'm not mad or anything

Oversized Bean: You aren't???

Danny: No.
Danny: is it a bit strange? Yes
Danny: I am flattered I would be a liar to say otherwise
Danny: but it's the way you describe it that makes it seem odd to me

Oversized Bean: Odd how?

Danny: "it got worse" once we started talking to each regular as friends?

Oversized Bean: yeah

Danny: Okay question before I speak my mind

Oversized Bean: Yeah?

Danny: Do you have a crush on me?

Oversized Bean: WHAT

Danny: Was I wrong?

Oversized Bean: I??
Oversized Bean: No— but I didn't think I was obvious

Danny: Even if you were it wouldn't have mattered but that's besides the point

Oversized Bean: Wait no run that back?

Danny: I think I have rubbed off on you in more than one sense

Oversized Bean: Could we run it back Danny I just
Oversized Bean: Why was the crush question relevant? You barely acknowledge it.

Danny: I was getting there

Oversized Bean: Were you?

Danny: Hush

Oversized Bean: ..

Danny: When ghosts get attached to people it becomes like their goal to make them happy or keep them close. And when a non human rubs off on a human it creates this thing called a pseudo core where it's like a fake ghost soul. Resonating the same affects to the human that a ghost would have.

Oversized Bean: You are saying I have one of these fake souls??

Danny: Which was my fault
Danny: I'm sorry

Oversized Bean: Wait I have it and only me?

Danny: Because I found you interesting

Oversized Bean: Interesting like?

Danny: A crush Dash. I said it from the beginning.

Oversized Bean: WAIT THIS WHOLE TIME?!

Danny: I didn't think I was shy about it

Oversized Bean: But you
Oversized Bean: I was terrible to you

Danny: Yes but people can still like terrible people
Danny: You changed and seeing that the feeling was mutual I don't see the problem

Oversized Bean: So the pictures

Danny: Keeping me close I see

Oversized Bean: Oh god

Danny: But I do kinda relax my intentions weren't completely
Danny: clear

Oversized Bean: NOT EVEN CLOSE

Danny: Yeah my bad

Oversized Bean: Ghost culture somehow smoothed your human brain

Danny: It's more instincts but yeah

Oversized Bean: what other hint am I missing

Danny: the bracelet

Oversized Bean: What about it

Danny: Marking my territory.

Oversized Bean: Your

Danny: sorry I mean letting other ghost know you have a ghost protector and they can't take you.

Oversized Bean: ghosts are possessive just like they are obsessed aren't they

Danny: we are.

Oversized Bean: Welp now i feel stupid

Danny: If this is too weird just tell me

Oversized Bean: nope im weird your weird we are gonna be weird together as I am done running from myself

Danny: Too many days staring at a left on read message

Oversized Bean: Sorry

Danny: NOPE
Danny: none of that
Danny: Your problem was my fault and my problem is your fault we are are now in the trenches

Oversized Bean: the Mariana trench

Danny: lmao

Oversized Bean: so you really aren't mad

Danny: no I'm not
Danny: i would be a hypocrite if I was
Danny: as i literally tagged you without you knowing

Oversized Bean: geez we are somehow the healthiest unhealthiest

Danny: probably

Oversized Bean: how long did you yk

Danny: I don't know Dash, ask me that again

Oversized Bean: you are a tease

Danny: perhaps but I like my questions straightforward

Oversized Bean: despite not being straightforward yourself

Danny: Well I'm not straight so that's a start

Oversized Bean: omg

Danny: the question

Oversized Bean: How long were you crushing for?

Danny: 8th grade

Oversized Bean: GEEZ
Oversized Bean: I was so bad

Danny: I know
Danny: I didn't care
Danny: Honestly during freshman year is where it got bad
Danny: Just the thought of hey he looks at me, focused on me
Danny: yes it was fucked but holy hell was it a mind melt
Danny: weird love is genetic and my parents are proof

Oversized Bean: I
Oversized Bean: oh wow

Danny: What about you?

Oversized Bean: The crush?

Danny: development yes

Oversized Bean: Um well it was a bit both freshman year and sophomore year
Oversized Bean: like the odd parasocial idea of phantom lives in every fans mind but just Fenton, the confidence and sass always caught me off guard and then it just snowballed from there as the two crushes became one and im just a mess
Oversized Bean: but now that I think about it, you always been a little bit protective of me
Oversized Bean: Like with your own family and just other ghosts in general

Danny: special treatment
Danny: exclusive treatment

Oversized Bean: So we like each other? Great!
Oversized Bean: what now

Danny: Date?

Oversized Bean: This feels like a dream am I dreaming

Danny: No
Danny: I haven't seen nocturne so definitely not

Oversized Bean: who

Danny: ghost of dreams

Oversized Bean: oh wow

Danny: yea
Danny: anyway date if you want to

Oversized Bean: YES I WANT TOO
Oversized Bean: Um oh

Danny: what

Oversized Bean: how are gonna deal with yk
Oversized Bean: our friends

Danny: ugh i forgot

Oversized Bean: obviously not the phantom bit but everything else about us?

Danny: this is going to be a pain
Danny: another going to try to mean well but at the same time no
Danny: control vs. forgiveness

Oversized Bean: Yea

Danny: we can definitely win doesn't mean that we're going to be ending up keeping those relationships though

Oversized Bean: I think your side might have a bigger problem than mine

Danny: how so

Oversized Bean: they probably not only be mad by the whole secret friendship alliance and most of the fact that Manson hates me
Oversized Bean: well she hates a listers in general but I know for a fact that she hates Paulina the worst
Oversized Bean: but that's not the only secret on that side because we also have you know the ghost thing
Oversized Bean: I know you said you would never tell them but it just seems like so much stress

Danny: I have been dealing with their suspicions for years now so I get what you mean
Danny: I wouldn't put it past them for being done with my BS
Danny: but also I don't care not about the ghost thing but about this. This is important to me just as it's important to you and I value you a lot more as someone who I'm able to share that truth with.
Danny: yes they're my friends doesn't mean I'm always comfortable with their choices
Danny: I wouldn't say that we're the best of friends to each other, hell I wouldn't even say I am a good friend to them sometimes but I'm pretty sure we all just silently agreed with that
Danny: we are kids and we just built this relationship off of the idea of weirdness
Danny: do I wish things were different? yes. do I wish that I could tell them about the ghost thing? also yes. but will I? no

Oversized Bean: I guess you could say it would be nice for you to have more people but I got it. The world really is just a dangerous place where not everything is sunshine and rainbow

Danny: the only rainbow I see here is you

Oversized Bean: HEY

Danny: :3

Oversized Bean: SINCE I'M BEING CALLED A RAINBOW FOR SOME REASON
Oversized Bean: I guess we just learn as we can

Danny: yeah actually I did have one question

Oversized Bean: oh look I'm rubbing off on you

Danny: har har
Danny: that day a few weeks ago where I came back from the fight I think it was the day after we first started talking. You asked about one of your teammates slamming me into a locker

Oversized Bean: yeah what about it

Danny: what did you do to that teammate

Oversized Bean: huh

Danny: I got an apology the day after there was no way you didn't talk to him so I'm curious what happened because he definitely didn't have that black eye before he slammed me

Oversized Bean: karma and gravity

Danny: uh huh
Danny: does gravity have some sort of name to it or

Oversized Bean: you know the weather is really nice outside

Danny: pff
Danny: want to have lunch together

Oversized Bean: yeah I can go for that

Danny: lunch as boyfriends nice

Oversized Bean: VKDYSUCHYSH

Danny: Oop

Oversized Bean change Danny's username to Baked Bean

10:30 a.m
Baked Bean: I am assuming this is because I'm now calling you an oversized bean in person

Oversized Bean: good morning to you too

Baked Bean: why were you up at 2:00 a.m.

Oversized Bean: couldn't sleep

Baked Bean: something wrong?

Oversized Bean: no not really
Oversized Bean: just the thought that the last few days have been really nice

Baked Bean: why are you saying that like it's some sort of foreboding of something evil happening

Oversized Bean: I don't know we live in reality so I guess
Oversized Bean: it's probably just my anxiety

Baked Bean: we did talk about that yeah
Baked Bean: are you have a nightmares

Oversized Bean: no if anything if I do fall asleep it's pretty peaceful it's just I don't know
Oversized Bean: maybe cuz I'm worried about my parents or my friends actually probably everybody

Baked Bean: I mean it does look like you're kind of avoiding them too

Oversized Bean: great I went from avoiding one person to avoiding all my friends instead of you
Oversized Bean: no offense

Baked Bean: none taken
Baked Bean: as for me I'm pretty sure that they're starting to notice a pattern on this side
Baked Bean: if I'm missing you're missing and if you're missing I'm missing
Baked Bean: this shit ain't rocket science

Oversized Bean: yeah but somehow they didn't notice that you were Phantom

Baked Bean: I can clone myself

Oversized Bean: I
Oversized Bean: you can do that??

Baked Bean: yeah when it's needed or warranted
Baked Bean: I've done it multiple times it just takes so much energy

Oversized Bean: is it weird that I have never seen that before

Baked Bean: nah mostly because I just never do it in front of you or other people in general

Oversized Bean: hm
Oversized Bean: just having a cloning ability sounds cool but then I'm reminded that you have been in fact clone before

Baked Bean: imagine having the ability to duplicate but also getting cloned by a crazy man
Baked Bean: that's wild

Oversized Bean: am I going to get randomly attacked by one of your siblings one of these days

Baked Bean: holy random paranoia Spike hello
Baked Bean: not going to get attacked they'll probably give you the shovel talk Maybe
Baked Bean: Ellie will probably try roping you into her endless shenanigans and with that I say good luck

Oversized Bean: oof

Baked Bean: dan?
Baked Bean: honestly I can never tell with him cuz every 5 minutes he just decides to piss me off
Baked Bean: but what are older brothers for?

Oversized Bean: I really wouldn't know since I don't have siblings

Baked Bean: which is quite impressive to me because one would think that you would have siblings

Oversized Bean: really?

Baked Bean: I mean yeah

Oversized Bean: honestly if it wasn't for your sister freshman year I would have thought you were an only child

Baked Bean: really? Me? Huh

Oversized Bean: yeah just a thought

Baked Bean: anyway that is besides the point I highly doubt your friends would have noticed me just disappearing at the same time as you given that I am considered the bottom of the social food chain or whatever

Oversized Bean: technically I guess so though I do think at least one of them probably did notice

Baked Bean: oh?

Oversized Bean: Kwan
Oversized Bean: he has been my best friend since forever and it doesn't take a genius as you say

Baked Bean: oh yeah
Baked Bean: I guess since I hadn't seen him hovering around I almost forgot

Oversized Bean: we both have our lives to live
Oversized Bean: he definitely noticed the personality change as he was probably the only witness to my dorkiness

Baked Bean: I bet he was ecstatic about that

Oversized Bean: he was if anything he was proud of it because he always thought that the shitty personality for school was always either overrated or just straight rude
Oversized Bean: but he didn't quite complain about it either so it was always 50/50

Baked Bean: see now that's worth noting
Baked Bean: do you think he would care if he was the first one to know?

Oversized Bean: honestly I think he probably be happy like really happy
Oversized Bean: as I am also a closeted bisexual nerd

Baked Bean: but also my closeted bisexual nerd soooo

Oversized Bean: shfuahsh
Oversized Bean: maybe we should tell him first like separately from everyone else

Baked Bean: that we're dating right

Oversized Bean: Yes?
Oversized Bean: I didn't think this was going to be about anything else

Baked Bean: we keep shifting topics like every 5 seconds so I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page

Oversized Bean: fair
Oversized Bean: I'll invite him over and just tell him in private

Baked Bean: good luck with that

3:15 p.m.
Oversized Bean: it was quick easy and oh my God

Baked Bean: I'm going to assume that it went well

Oversized Bean: EXTREMELY

Baked Bean: I'm happy for you

Oversized Bean: Still on the fence with your friends?

Baked Bean: Eh Sam yes Tucker is maybe
Baked Bean: I'll have to do it separately but eventually I'll figure it out

Oversized Bean: You don't have to do it alone you know

Baked Bean: Yeah but if he saw u he would probably freak out more
Baked Bean: no offense

Oversized Bean: Yeah I did that to myself

Baked Bean: Tho maybe hearing it directly from the horse might not be so bad

Oversized Bean: Reconsidering it?

Baked Bean: Just give me a bit

Oversized Bean: Okay

Baked Bean: Head over to my place My parents will let you in so you aren't just standing there

Oversized Bean: wait right now?!

Baked Bean: better late than never

Oversized Bean: I guess so
Oversized Bean: Would it be okay to bring Kwan with me?

Baked Bean: Yeah that's cool
Baked Bean: Guys night

Oversized Bean: This sounds like impending chaos

Baked Bean: I am chaos

Oversized Bean: No you are ghost boy with untapped amount of free will and NASA merch

Baked Bean: DON'T DISS THE NASA MERCH

Notes:

Honestly I might continue this in the future but thats all I could really think about for now.
