Danny Phantom Fan Fiction ❯ Send Me A Song ❯ Choices ( Chapter 4 )

Birds of a feather flock together,
And so will pigs and swine;

 

 

It was one of those `what if' things, a kind of `who'd you rather' game where everybody wanted to corner everybody else with choices so bizarre you just had to shudder and glance away, uncertain of what might haunt your dreams that night.

 

“Okay,” Star said as it was her turn. “You're wasted at a party and have a one night stand with one of the bottom feeders there; out of all the losers you can think of, who'd you rather wake up to?”

 

“Valerie.” Was Kwan's choice, earning him a smack from his girlfriend.

 

“She doesn't count; I still hang out with her.” Star hissed.

 

“That's your choice, she's a loser and I chose her.” The jock grumbled, he really should have known better than to pick his ex girlfriend.

 

Ashley sighed and thought, “Mikie,” she picked, very glad the little dweeb wasn't with them at this moment, but he was the only one she was used to having around.

 

It was Paulina's turn, “Ummm, hmm,” she made a show of deciding, Ashley and Star shared an annoyed glance and Kwan rested his chin in his hand strumming his fingers against the wood of the table they sat at. Everybody knew she'd choose Danny Fenton, she had some silly soft spot for him.

 

But she just had to take forever.

 

“Oh I don't know, Dash who would you choose?” she turned to the blond sitting on the steps to the school, more intent on winning some new game on his phone than hanging with them. Paulina had been trying to drag him into the conversation since they started, he hadn't been interested.

 

Hearing his name he grunted. “Fenton.”

 

Everybody scoffed, this was the first time he'd actually replied, and he gave that answer.

 

“Jaz isn't a loser Dash, she's one of my friends, and a senior, so she doesn't count pick someone else.” Star was regretting not restricting the choices more.

 

Dash halted in his game, his whole body tense as he turned to pin them with a glare, a tingle sound announced he lost. “I wasn't talking about her.”

 

The faces changed immediately.

 

Kwan balked, “dude gross!”

 

Star opened and closed her mouth a few times as Ashley's face took on a more and more confused look.

And Paulina stuttered out a choppy “But Danny's a boy!”

 

Dash snorted at the reactions, “So?” he turned back to his game, clicking a few buttons to restart, “he's the only one I'd tolerate, even drunk off my ass.”

 

“But what about Sam?” Ashley offered, “She's a girl, and she's not completely hideous.”

 

“Yeah,” Dash sneered at her, “But can you imagine her with all that eyeliner smeared? If I'm gonna have a one night stand its gonna be with someone I wouldn't mind waking up to. That's Fenton, Goth-chick would give me heart failure.” And the one time they'd kissed at Ember's concert he'd almost blew chunks.

 

“But he's a BOY!” Paulina repeated, unable to say much else.

 

“Whatever, it's just a hole.” Dash shrugged, restarting his game, little bleeps and jingles could be heard as he pressed buttons, “`sides have you seen him in drag? Stick a wig on him and its all good.”

 

They turned back to their own game, Paulina no longer trying to drag an answer out of him. Kwan muttered a few rounds later when Dash saved his progress and got up to leave that that was probably what the blonde had intended when he answered.

 

Dash heard this and smiled.

 

Rats and mice will have their choice,
And so will I have mine.
