#forever phantom

I did a full rewatch of the entire show to find these, so I believe this is all of them! :)

I say this because some time ago I saw a post about how OP preferred Danny and Valerie over Danny and Sam (totally valid, don't get me wrong. It's not my case, but I'm not here to start shipping discourse). And the main reason they gave was because of Valerie's one selfless action of letting Danny go for his own sake, while they found Sam to be stubborn and selfish. Honestly, I was baffled.

Credit where credit's due, that is a wonderful character moment for Valerie and a sign of character development. But it also happens to be the one (1) instance she does something genuinely selfless completely unprompted—I don't count her saving Dani because she only did the right thing after Danny spelled it out for her that she was harmless and half-human. The rest of the time, since she was conceived as another antagonist, Valerie's characterised as someone selfish, vindictive, and materialistic.

Meanwhile, it's the fact that Sam and Tucker are so such great and loyal friends to Danny that underlies the fact that, personal flaws aside, those two are inherently good and selfless kids. From the very beginning of the show til the very end, they constantly and consistently help Danny in any way they can both with the mundane and supernatural, even if it means risking their lives. Which they very much do on a daily basis.

1) Sam kissed Dash to break Ember's spell on Danny.

2) Sam agreed to wear that hideous frilly dress so her parents would lift their restraining order off of Danny.

3) She confronted Freak Show and a mind controlled Danny to set him free and fell off a moving train over a bridge for her troubles.

4) Although it took him a bit for comedic value, Tucker faced his fear of hospitals to rescue Danny.

5) They both took turns pretending to be him so his parents wouldn't find out his secret.

6) They are always there to help him during ghost fights, even though they don't have his powers or as much ghost hunting equipment as Valerie.

Need I go on?

The only evidence I can think of that she's a cheerleader is she does a cheer routine in Pirate Radio while fighting off ghosts (which doesn't mean anything on its own, it's a really basic cheer that Paulina could've just taught her for fun) and Gregor/Elliot calls her a cheerleader in Double Cross My Heart (which proves nothing because he's a new student and an idiot).

And in fact, in Forever Phantom, we see Paulina on the field cheering while Star is watching in the stands.

Summary: “What if season 3 happened… but Danny’s parents knew his secret.” These are the small moments througout a few of the episodes.

"No."

"Danny come on -"

"No!"

"We said we were sorry!"

"Nope! Still not okay."

Jazz looked up from repairing her scrapbook, half amused at the argument down the hall. It had been going on and off ever since Danny let Amorpho go free.

"Danny, you're going to have to hear us out eventually."

"Four months. You've known about my powers for four months. We've trained together!"

"We panicked okay? Mr. Lancer-"

"Why did you think telling the school Phantom stole my face was a good idea!?"

Jazz laughed herself to the floor.

Infinite Realms

Girls Night Out

Torrent of Terror

I didn’t know the answer off the top of my head, but that sounded like something that’d show up in Forever Phantom. Decided to double check, and sure enough.
