âA trip to Parisâ
Danny Phantom crossover with Miraculous Ladybug fanfic.
Notes: This was written when season 3 of Miraculous Ladybug finished but it was never complete until now. For the @invisobang event on tumblr.
Beta and summary by: @the-oaken-muse on tumblr or The_Oaken_Muse on AO3. Future art piece by: @k-beckerart on Tumblr. (Preview art). Â
Chapter: 1/12 Next VersiĂłn en EspaĂąol
Also on:Â Â Â Â A03 || FF || DeviantArt || Facebook.
Summary: After saving the world and all the stress of the aftermath, the Fenton family decides to take a nice, relaxing vacation to Paris. Little do they know, it's not the peaceful retreat they were expecting.
Chapter 1: âNew beginningsâ There are certain universal truths in life that everyone comes to accept. One such fact is that ghosts are real, another is that some ghosts are half human. It all started when those facts were proven on top of all. When the most important fact should have been the asteroid disaster âthat most people had named the âDisasteroidâ. When the end of the world was announced, to say everything devolved into chaos would be an understatement, the reality was much, much worse.Â
Another fact was that a tiny, almost nonexistent town in the middle of nowhere appeared in the news. The town of Amity Park gained global attention when their crazy mayor proposed a âsolutionâ to the crisis. Vlad Masters aka Vlad Plasmius was the âhalfaâ that suggested that in order to save the world after previous, seemingly useless attempts, the solution was to simply make the asteroid intangible. Of course, that didnât work as expected, but no surprise there, he was too preoccupied with plans of world domination to fully think things through.
Now, the whole of humanity is thankful that a single ghost, or well, a single teenager, had come up with a plan that worked. Maybe the young ghost was inspired by Vlad because of the general idea but it worked and thatâs the most important part, or nobody would be alive now. The world is very thankful for that, for the braveness of Danny Phantom.
As a thank you, the people of the world erected a well deserved statue of the now global hero in each major city around the world. It was all anybody was talking about, that and the sensation of intangibility. Each person had their own story of what happened that fateful day, what it felt like to be intangible. Although that's the main topic of conversation these days, heroes have existed for a long time now. In Paris for example, Ladybug and her partner Chat Noir lead the Miraculous team, although they didnât really have a team anymore. Closer to Amity Park, New York City is full of heroes, many of them without hidden identities. There are even rumours of heroes in other parts of the world such as in China, Brazil, some parts of Africa, London, Japan and more. The main point is that heroes aren't new or something that would surprise anybody anymore.     Now the world has learned about Amity Park, its people, and its ghosts. While there are confirmed heroes and rumours of others all over the world, none of them were able to stop the asteroid hurtling towards the Earth. The worldâs largest military powers had combined their resources trying to destroy the source of the end. It was later revealed that they were sabotaged thanks to the not-that-helpful help of Vlad Masters (who intervened without asking). While the whole world finally noticed the small town of Amity Park and learned all about them, and of course their crazy halfa mayor. All of the heroes who wanted to do something to help were too busy fighting the villains who decided to try something in the chaos. The world needed a new hero to step up, instead they got a villain masquerading as a saviour. Nobody could have predicted that he would fail so drastically. In the end, the Earth was saved by a new hero, another halfa, although not many people knew he was one.Â
In Amity Park, the GIW, known by most people as the âGuys In Whiteâ, were stopped by real government agents. It came out that they were actually a fake agency bankrolled by Vlad and his shady business dealings to protect citizens of Amity Park and Vlad when he was there. Vlad has them as one of his ârealâ businesses.Â
The FBI had taken over the situation in Amity Park, mostly because the villain of the story was an American who lived in Amity and therefore this case fell under their jurisdiction. The other countries had allowed them to handle the whole affair, to keep the process of condemning Vlad contained in one country. The rest of the world washed their hands of it all, the only thing that they seemed to agree on was to make him pay.Â
After interrogating everyone involved with Vladâs failed mission and questioning the team that worked with Danny to build the intangibility transfer device, the FBI learned the true identity of a certain ghostly hero. After which, they began working closely with a particular family: The Fenton family.Â
The Fentons were a family of four, Jack Fenton, Madeline âMaddieâ Fenton, Daniel âDannyâ Fenton and Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton. As specialists in ecto-science Jack and Maddie were the only ones allowed to work in what was left of Vlad Mastersâ lab, since they knew how most of his technology worked. Their children, Jazz and Danny, worked with them, helping them to dismantle it to be carted away by the FBI in the name of public safety.Â
The FBI also enlisted the help of the Fentons, and possibly NASA, but that was classified, to repair the very same rocket that Vlad had paid for, the one he had sabotaged with the wrong coordinates, so they could use it to fetch him back from space. The people of the world wanted justice, and they wouldnât be able to get it if he died out there. Now, not even the Fentons knew if he would become a full ghost or just die, leaving nothing but a body behind, and they didnât want to take any chances.Â
In the end, he was tried and found guilty of multiple counts of public corruption, including election fraud; terrorism; corporate fraud and theft of intellectual property; as well as blackmailing the entire world. He was sentenced to live out the rest of his natural, or rather unnatural, life in a special FBI facility, complete with a phase proof cell and ghost restraint handcuffs. As for the rocket, the official reports list it as âdestroyed in a crash landingâ.Â
At the Fentonâs residence, Jack and Maddie had worked hard to reconstruct their previously destroyed lab (most specifically their ghost portal) with the pieces that they got from Vladâs. After confirming with the FBI their intentions to use the technology and making their case for why they need a functional ghost portal, the Fentons were allowed to make their repairs. They also reverse engineered several of his inventions to better understand how they worked and, in doing so, they discovered even more of Vladâs evil plans. It was hard to reconcile everything that they had learned with what they thought they knew of their old college friend.Â
After that, everything in the lab went fairly smoothly, considering the circumstances, but all that changed when they discovered an even more immoral half-finished experiment. While the main information seemed to be destroyed and/or missing they managed to get the gist of it. A clone, and a clone of none other than Danny Phantom. That was the second most shocking news for the Fentons, right behind the revelation that Vlad Masters was a half ghost. It hit Jack especially hard, as he was the closest to Vlad back then, they were best friends, roommates⌠A good friend? More like an enemy.Â
Jack and Maddie knew that their son disliked Vlad, hated him even, and the more they learned of the truth, the more they understood why. Maddie specifically knew that Vlad and Danny had a rivalry of sorts. Sheâd thought it was because Danny didnât like or even appreciate the fact that he was trying to hit on her. Vladâs advances had always made her uncomfortable, even more disgusted than what Danny felt. It was personal for her. But that hadnât been it, or at least not all of it, and wasnât that an understatement? A clone? What hadnât that man done? What crimes against nature hadnât he committed? Â
They had just finished going over the papers, what little research remained, and determined that those analyses, even unconcluded, were 100% of a clone. A clone of their own son, a halfa himself. They didnât know how that would even work, how it would be possible to replicate such a unique state of being, and couldn't comprehend what or who they would be if that was complete. The two shared a grim look, they needed to talk to their children about this, there was so much that they still didnât know.Â
Danny and Jazz were on the main level helping catalogue some equipment from Vladâs lab, sorting out even more ghost weapons from the rest of his inventions. That man had so many weapons, of all shapes and sizes, weapons they now knew had been used against their son. They were grateful that they would never be used like that again, neither Vladâs nor their own. They regretted their actions every day, every shot, every hurtful word they had used against Danny Phantom.  Â
They decided to have their much-needed family discussion over dinner that evening. Maddie left Jack putting together a list of the most important questions from the information they did have and headed upstairs to the kitchen. She opened the fridge and stared at its contents for a moment or two before deciding that it would be better to order pizza instead.
Maddie finished ordering the pizza and after a while, Jack joined her in the kitchen.Â
Meanwhile, Danny was done with the group that he was cataloguing with Jazzâs help. Jazz was the one that was guiding Danny with the correct order, she is the most organised one between those two after all.Â
Jazz hovered around Danny as he finished going through a box of weapons, once again repeating the instructions when he cut her off.Â
âAll right, Jazz! I know! Weâve been doing this long enough,â he gestured at all the boxes in frustration. âI know you just want to know how many times he used these on me or if he gave them to Skulker, or another ghost, or whatever. You can stop now.â
âThatâs not true, Danny!â Jazz defended, even though she had been wondering about that. Danny just glared at her and rolled his eyes. âWhatever you say, sis.â He picked up the empty box that had previously been full of weapons, âLook Iâm done with this one. I donât know about you, but Iâm starving and I think I heard mom and dad talking in the kitchen.â He jerked his thumb toward the door. âYeah, me too and I get it, all right⌠but I'll be here when youâre ready to talk,â she said earnestly. She was a bit disappointed with herself for upsetting him, she had been hoping he would be more open about everything now that their parents knew his secret. Unfortunately, everyone was still a bit tense about the whole situation. âWhatever.â Danny rolled his eyes again and headed to the kitchen with Jazz following close behind. âDanno! Jazzy-Pants!â Jack greeted them when he saw them. âHow goes the sorting?â
âFine.â
Jazz elbowed her brother. âHe means weâre almost finished.â
âThatâs great, kids!â
âWe ordered pizza.â Maddie interjected. âIt should be here sooââ The ringing of the doorbell cut her off.
âI got it!â Jack shouted, already halfway to the door.
âNow I wonder who that could be,â she murmured.
âI hope itâs the pizza, all that sorting really worked up an appetite!â Dannyâs stomach growled as if to accent his point.
âYeah, Mom,â Jazz added, "it's probably just the pizza.â
âThat was fastâŚâ Maddie commented distractedly.
âAh? Why do you say that, Mom?â asked Jazz, a bit worried. âIt hasn't been that longâŚâ Maddie considered the time she thought had passed.
âPizzaâs here!â Jack announced as he brought the boxes into the kitchen. âActually, Honey, it has been a while since I heard you make the order.â âOh? I didnât realiseâŚâ Maddie glanced at the clock on the wall again and shook her head to clear it. âI guess Iâve just got a lot on my mind right now, thatâs all.â She tried to give her family a reassuring smile, but it came across a bit forced.Â
âAll right...â Danny exchanged a worried glance with Jazz.There were only a few things that could distract his mother like that and none of them were good. He knew his mom came up to the kitchen a while ago and heard her talking on the phone or something but didn't pay that much attention as he was still following Jazz's ideas of cataloguing the last ghost weapons from the box. âOkay⌠Danny and I will set the table then.â offered Jazz. She understood Danny's worry, anything that knocked their normally highly perceptive mother off kilter couldn't be good. She hadnât noticed when her mom came upstairs, just when her dad did, as he was the most noisy, so she couldnât say for sure how long it had been since she placed the order.
âYes, thank you darling,â said Maddie and she took a seat while the kids started putting dishes on the table.
âYou know Mads, we could just ask him...â Jack suggested in a low voice, almost whispering.
Maddie shook her head. âNo, Jack, I donât think that simply asking him would work, it has to come up in the conversation naturally.â She took a fortifying breath and then blew it out slowly. âAlright, I think I'm ready now.âÂ
âAlright.âJack repeated, nodding solemnly, before finally sitting down himself. Once the whole family was gathered around the table and had pizza on their plates, it was actually Danny who broke the silence.
âMom, DadâŚâ Danny began, âI know this hasnât been easy for you guys, thereâs been a lot to unpack, uh, literally and figuratively⌠But you know Iâm okay with it, right? Like, you guys can talk to me about stuff, ask me questions, whateverâŚâÂ
He knew very well that they had questions for him, he suspected they were about Vlad and his weapons or something similar. He didnât need to hear it to know. Although, he did hear them. After all, that was an almost-whisper.Â
âDanny...â Jazz said, concern evident in her voice. She understood that he probably knew the situation better than she did, as she had ignored their parents' quiet conversation, but that didnât stop her from worrying about her little brother.
âItâs alright Jazz,â he reassured her. âEver since they found out, itâs been a big help, butâŚâ Danny sighed. There was still a lot they didnât know, and he was getting tired of walking on eggshells around them.
âI know.â Jazz gave him a small, encouraging smile. She had a better idea of what Danny had been through than their parents, and she still had questions. They had been doing their best to let Danny come to them on his own time, but subtlety had never been their strong suit. The curiosity and the guilt both were eating them alive.Â
âWhat is it, son?â asked Jack, wondering if they had been too obvious, hoping they hadnât done anything to make him uncomfortable.
âI donât know...â Danny rubbed the back of his neck, glancing nervously at his sister. She nodded as if to give him courage. âItâs just⌠you looked like something was bothering you, like you had a question, or somethingâŚâÂ
Jack took a quick look at his wife and squared his shoulders before turning back to the kids. Sometimes just asking was the best policy. âWe may want to know something⌠â
âJack!â Maddie admonished. She looked at her husband in shock, that was not what they had discussed. Then she looked back over at her kids, especially at Danny. He looked nervous, but hopeful, like he was really ready to talk to them. Jack had noticed it already and taken the appropriate action, it was time for her to get on the same page. She took a deep breath, âIâm sorry. Youâre right, Dear, we should just ask him.âÂ
âWhat is it, mom?â Dannyâs gaze flickered anxiously back and forth between his parents, âDad?âÂ
Jazz reached for Danny's hand, squeezing gently, letting him know he wasnât alone. It was something she had always done to calm him down, she was glad it still worked.
âLook son, I know you say that youâre ready to talk about all this, ready for us to know⌠and we want to! But for your mom and I⌠well⌠itâs hard to imagine how all this was for you, especially because⌠we... weâŚâ Jack sighed. This was harder to talk about than he thought it would be. After a brief pause, he tried again, âYour mother and I found out about the cloning experiment. There was inconclusive but valid information on Vladâs lab computer files. We have the backup copies saved on our labâs computers now.âÂ
âOh!â Dannyâs eyes lit up with understanding. âI almost forgot about that.â
âDanny, dear⌠you knew?â asked Maddie, concerned.Â
Danny nodded sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck once again. He wasnât sure where to start explaining, filling in the missing data⌠some of it wasnât pretty, there was a reason that information was destroyed.Â
âOh, God,â Maddie swore. âHe actually did it, didnât he?â
âHeh, yeah...â Danny grimaced, dropping his hand with a sigh.
Jazz took hold of his hand again, silently supporting her brother. She didnât know the full story, but she gathered that it was something very difficult for him to talk about.Â
Danny gently pulled his hand out of his sisterâs, nodding a silent thanks to her before turning back to his parents and beginning his explanation. âHe was trying to clone me to create the perfect son, or something⌠You know, I never actually let him explain it.â He scoffed, âThatâs one of the many reasons why I called him a complete crazy fruitloop, because obviously he is. He had this huge container with the âperfect specimenâ or whatever he called it and all these clonesââ
âClones?â Maddie interrupted his rambling, âAs in, more than one?âÂ
âYeah, there were⌠a few.â Danny bowed his head, voice tinged with regret. âI didnât realise at first⌠they didnât look much like me. Vlad called them failuresâŚâ.
ââWere?ââ Jazz asked, picking up on his use of the past tense. âWhat happened?â
âThey⌠they were killed...â Danny practically whispered, keeping his head down.
âWhat?â Jack cried out, voice filled with pain, already mourning the children heâd never met. He hadnât even known about them a few hours ago and already he would give his life to protect them. How could Vlad have done such a thing? Surely he would have considered them to be his own children, in a way. âVlad⌠he didnât... he wouldnât⌠would he?â
âYeah⌠in a way, he did...â Danny replied. He lifted his head a bit, but instead of looking at his family, he only gazed sadly at his own hands. âBut only because he ordered them to attack me... and I didnât know⌠we were fighting and they just... they turned to goo.â âGoo?â asked Jazz, a bit confused, it seemed her brother had left out a lot of details when heâd told her this story before.
âYeah, remember the container I told you about? It was like a long, uh, tube thing, like out of a movie...â Danny began gesturing with his hands, attempting to describe the shape of the strange device.
âAll right...?â said Jack, failing to follow along with the explanation.
âBut then, if they turned to, um, goo⌠then there arenât any...â Maddie was unsure of how to phrase the question, the situation being more complicated than it seemed.
âClones?â Danny supplied, to which Maddie nodded. âOnly one: Dani. Thatâs with an âi,â short for Danielle.â
âDanielle?â asked Jack, âIsnât that a girlâs name?âÂ
âA female clone?â asked Maddie, blinking in surprise.Â
âYesâŚ?â Danny replied hesitantly. Is that not common for clones?
âDanny, you said that he cloned you, Iâm not an expert or anything, but Iâm pretty sure a clone of you should be a boy. And probably a baby⌠just a few months old at most. Clones do start as babies, right?â Even with Danny using his hands to show how big the container had been, Jazz was having trouble imagining anything bigger than tiny test tubes with little babies floating in them. They didnât seem nearly big enough to hold a teenager like Danny. âNormally, you would be right, Jazz.â Maddie raised her hand to stop Danny from interrupting. âBut the information we found in his lab included a way to alter and accelerate the cloning process. He managed to clone Danny, but in a very different way than traditional science has done in the past with dogs or sheep⌠or any animal for that matter. I hate to give that man any sort of credit, but frankly, itâs impressive.â âHow is that possible?â asked Jazz, feeling lost. Her specialty was psychology, not genetics.
âWell, what your mother and I found was very interesting...â Jack began while nodding along to it.
âIt was incomplete,â Maddie continued where he left off, âIt was almost as if it had been destroyed or perhaps sabotaged.â
Danny grinned at his motherâs knowing look, âFor legal reasons, I know nothing.âÂ
Maddie just shook her head, âAs I was saying, the information we did manage to recover seems to indicate that he was able to create a genetic accelerator that would allow the clone to be aged up very close to Dannyâs age, if not the exact same. Danny, how old would you say this⌠âDaniâ is? And do you have any idea where she might be?â.
âOhhh⌠Oh!â Danny gasped as if something had just clicked in his mind, as if that was something that he had never considered.
âYou havenât thought about it, have you, little bro?â asked Jazz, easily understanding her brother's reaction.
âWhat? Pshh! No⌠I totally, definitely⌠possibly, maybe⌠thought⌠Actually, how do you know about clones, Jazz?â Danny asked, quickly trying to change the topic as he didnât know where Dani was.
âHey, thatâs just common knowledge, we learned about it in biology class!â Jazz defended herself.
âDanny,â Maddieâs voice held a warning, âYou did learn about that, didnât you? I believe Mr. Lancer explained it to us, and all the parents, in a parentâteacher meeting about grades and school activities a couple of months ago⌠It was the same with Jazz when she was your age. Like your sister said, it was part of the curriculum. Superhero or not, we expect you to keep up with your lessons, young man.âÂ
Jack nodded along looking very serious.
âOops...â Danny muttered, realising his distraction plan had backfired.Â
âWe should probably go over your textbooks, or review some of your old lessons if you donât remember that...â Maddie said thoughtfully, they still had so much catching up to do to get Danny back on track with his schoolwork.
âI should ask Sam or Tucker about it, compare notes⌠I may have slept through it⌠sorry.â Danny brought a hand up to his neck sheepishly.
âItâs all right son,â Jack placed a large, comforting hand on Dannyâs shoulder, âWe know you had a lot going on, but now you have help.â He knew now that Danny was probably staying up late fighting ghosts and not getting enough sleep at the time.
âWeâre sorry, sweetie, if we had paid better attention, we could have helped you sooner. We promise to do a better job of helping you with your time management and catching up with your studies.â Maddie wondered if she and Jack would ever truly understand what being a halfa had meant for their son, how it had impacted his whole life.
âI know, I know⌠and I do appreciate it, I doâŚâ Danny looked around for a way out of talking about his poor grades, âUm, hey⌠shouldnât we really be focusing on Dani right now? You know the uh, missing, like, 12 or 13 year old girl? She could really be anywhere you know, probably just wandering around...âÂ
âI see what youâre doing and this conversation isnât over young man, but yes, finding Dani is more important right now⌠So, 12 or 13 years old?â said Maddie, getting back on track.
âWell⌠she was, like, two years younger than me⌠or at least thatâs how old she looked...â Danny thought back to the last time he saw her.
âBut you donât know for sure.â concluded Maddie, it was easy to get confused about someone else's age without asking, after all.Â
âNo, sorry. When I met her⌠well she almost ended up like the others⌠But hey! Dad helped her!â Danny snapped his fingers, remembering the occasion.
âI did! Wait, I did?â asked a confused Jack.
âWell⌠your invention did. But that counts, so yeah, you did!â said Danny with a smile, especially knowing what a close call it had been.
âWell, son, Iâm glad to hear it!â Jack boomed. âBut, uh, how exactly did that happen? Why didnât she turn into âgooâ like the others, and, uh, what invention did it? Because wellâŚâ His inventions werenât really designed to help ghosts. Now it was his turn to look sheepish.
âOh, well⌠â Danny looked up at the ceiling in thought, âIt happened a couple of months ago, when I first met herâŚâ
âShe tried to attack you, right?â guessed Jazz, âYou said the others did that, so...â
âYeah, she was the most stable one, so her âfatherâ sent her to gain my trust, or whatever,â Danny put as much venom into the word as he could muster. âHe called her his daughter and still considered her disposable. Unfortunately, she had to learn that the hard way, and now she doesnât even care what happens to him⌠â
âOh, Danny...â Jazz murmured, she could imagine the frustration that he was feeling.
âItâs alright Jazz. Please go on, Danny-boy.â Jack needed to know more about which of his inventions was used to save Dani, he needed to know more about the daughter heâd never met.
Danny sighed, âNo, itâs not alright⌠Sheâs her own person, but she still deserves someone who cares about her⌠and well, he did create her...â
âI know what you mean, Danny, but it is okay,â Jazz spoke with a calming voice. âYes, he may have created her in his lab, but that doesnât automatically make him her father. You said it yourself, he doesnât really care about her, so itâs completely understandable for her to reject him like that...â Â
âThanks Jazz,â Danny said softly, understanding what his sister meant by that.
âYou know, your sister is right,â Maddie added proudly. âVlad created a clone of you, Danny, but thatâs it. He hasnât put in any of the emotional labour, he hasnât earned the right to be her father. There are a lot of families that aren't related by blood, but those relationships take work just the same.â
âHe hasnât earned it, has he?â said Danny, the implication that Dani basically didnât have parents setting in. She was rejecting Vlad after all, her creator.
âOf course not, son! Vladdy may have been the person responsible for her existence, and even though he did an amazing job with the genetic acceleration and all thatâŚâ said Jack, very impressed with that part of the information.
âJack! Focus.â Maddie scolded, even though she also was impressed by the work, it wasnât the time to say so.Â
âRight! Sorry! He may be a genius, but heâs still evil! An evil, evil geniusâŚâ Jack stopped himself from saying more, even though he was still very impressed by how smart his ex-friend was.
âI admire his work too, Jack. But Iâd admire it even more if he didnât throw ethics out the window.â said Maddie. âBut thatâs a discussion for another time.â.
âI know, I knowâŚâ Jack muttered. âOur priority right now is finding Danielleââ
âDani,â said Danny, correcting his dad, as none of them like to be called by their full name.
âRight⌠And to think that before I thought that a ghost and my son having the same first name was confusing...â Jack laughed.
âItâs âDaniâ dad, not âDannyâ thereâs a difference,â said Jazz, exaggerating the pronunciation even though there wasnât any difference in reality, it was more for them. Â
Jack was astonished and blinked at the confusing pronunciation a few times, whispering both names under his breath as he tried to hear the difference.Â
âJack?â said Maddie, raising an eyebrow, she knew that thereâs nothing going on with the pronunciation but she wasnât going to spoil the kidsâ fun.
âRight⌠the point is that Dani exists and, well⌠we have to find her!â Jack smacked his fist into his palm for emphasis, âSheâs technically a Fenton, and Fentons stick together.â
âWhat?â asked a confused Danny, he hadnât expected that much support from any of them.
âThatâs true little bro, think about it⌠sheâs basically you, right?â said Jazz, liking where this was going, she would love another little sibling, especially a sister.Â
Maddie hummed. âWell, theoretically Jazz is right. She is a female clone of you, and before anyone asks; yes, it is possible for her to be you even as a girl. That could be an anomaly caused by the acceleration process that Vlad used to create her.â she explained, preemptively answering any questions that might come up.
âThat actually makes sense⌠I think...â said Jazz, even though that wasnât in her questions at all. âI havenât thought about it. Last time I saw her, like I said, your experiment helped me stabilise her, even though the fruitloop kept saying he needed a âmidâform sampleâ or something like that. He was planning on using that to fix his main clone, a male one.â Danny added as an extra explanation.Â
âOf course! It all makes perfect sense now!â Maddieâs fist struck her palm as she made that claim. âWhat does, mom?â asked Jazz, not understanding what their mother was getting at. âWell, Danny said that the other clones turned into goo, right?âÂ
Danny nodded in confirmation.Â
âAnd that Vlad had a special container for a male clone...âÂ
Danny nodded again.Â
âAnd Dani was the only clone that survived long enough for Danny to stabilise because she is a female one.â Maddie explained matter-of-factly. âOkay, you lost me.â Danny was⌠not expecting that at all. âThink about it, sweety. Vlad, as you know, had a thing for me and an obsession with you. He wanted the perfect little family. From what you told us and what we obtained from his lab, as well as the disturbing AI hologram of⌠myself,â Maddie made a disgusted face at that. âI still canât believe heâ well actually I can. Anyway, he wanted you to be his perfect son, but you told him no. So just like he made a hologram copy of me, he wanted a perfect clone of you, and that meant it had to be male. Why couldnât he just take ânoâ for an answer?â she sighed.
âItâs alright now Maddie, heâs long gone.â Jack said sadly. It had been hard for him to accept everything that his ex-friend had done. If they had known before, if he had talked to them about what had happened, maybe they could have worked things out and they could even⌠who knows, hunt ghosts with him or something along those lines, the way they did with Danny now. But he wasnât about to forgive him that easily, not after what heâd done.   âI know, I knowâŚâ Maddie said more calmly. âAnd now, to think that there is a little girl just wandering around all alone⌠Wait! Danny, where did you say she was again?â
âI⌠I donât know⌠Iâm sorryâ Danny hung his head in shame. âI only know that Vlad⌠well, he tricked the Huntressââ
âWho?â asked Maddie.
âUhhh⌠itâs complicated?â Danny said with a sheepish grin. Â
âDanny...â warned Maddie, they had agreed on no more secrets. He sighed, âItâs not my secret to tell. Although I know sheâs probably looking for an opportunity to speak with me since, well⌠she was there when it happened.â He really wasnât going to tell them about Valerie, not without talking to her first. He knew well enough that she only accepted his apology for revealing her identity to her dad because what she had planned was a suicide mission. âSo she knows.â Maddie stated.
âYeah, she does now, but up until that point she didnât⌠and Vlad convinced her, I donât know how, probably with money âshe only knew him as Masters, not Plasmiusâ and he sent her to find Dani to⌠well, to destroy her. But didnât tell her that! The lie was that Dani wanted to kill Masters⌠and, well, sheâ the Huntress wasnât just going to let that happen. So she managed to get Dani, but it wasnât a fair fight âcause Dani was in pretty bad shape, that made the Huntress stop and plan ahead, creating a trap for me, but I knew the truth, and well, I told her âCâmon, does she look like sheâs gonna do anything?â Then the Huntress realised that Dani and I couldnât be lying⌠But at the same time she was a ghost hunter first⌠so...â Danny explained in a rush, barely pausing for breath. âShe didnât try to, um, destroy... you?â asked Maddie, she knew that a lot of people had tried that, including them. âWell⌠maybe. But just like you guys, she didnât know!â Danny hurried to stop his parents from feeling guilty about hunting him again. âOh, honeyâŚâ Maddie started, Jack nodding along apologetically, âWeâre so sorry for allââÂ
âI know, I know⌠Youâre sorry for everything, the shooting, the hunting, the hurtful words, blah, blah, blah. Can we please move on?â said Danny testily. The long apologies were really getting old.
âTheyâre not going to stop any time soon and you know it, Danny.â Jazz teased. She knew her little brother was getting tired of the long speeches asking for forgiveness, but they had a long way to go before their parentsâ guilt waned. âI know.â Danny sighed.Â
âRight, right. Sorry sweety. Anyway, I suppose you managed to convince the Huntress to help you, then?â said Maddie, getting back on track. âYeah, thatâs right,â Danny picked up the story where he left off, âand I figured that you guys probably had something in the lab that could help Dani and I⌠I brought the Huntress hereââÂ
âWait, you came here and we didnât notice?â Maddie cut in. âI mean, I get it, your father and I get distracted sometimes⌠but you came here with another hunter to look for something that could help ghostsâŚ.â She was beginning to see a theme in their house, and she didnât particularly like it. âUh, sorry?â said Danny. He wasnât really sorry, but still felt the need to apologise.Â
âNo, no⌠itâs all right son, you did what you had to do.â Jack chimed in. He was mostly letting Maddie do her thing, ask the right questions, and get the information they needed.Â
âItâs all right, Danny. You have always done the right thing, and we trust you. So what did you use to help her?â asked Maddie, she was very curious as most of their inventions back then didnât work in favour of ghosts. âIt was, uh, that serum that dad was working on, the âEctoâDejecto,ââ Danny said, remembering that day. âIt wasnât working right, it was making ghosts stronger instead of weaker.â âOh, that one!â Jack brightened in recognition, then sobered, âBut it does work, it just took time.â âWhat? But all the samples were⌠bigger.â said Danny, getting worried.
âThat may have been true at the beginning, but as the Ecto-Dejecto ran its course, those specimens, well, they just⌠gooed?â said Maddie, unsure if saying âgooâ would help in this case.Â
âWHAT???!!!â Danny exclaimed, imagining the worst case scenario and for a brief moment his eyes flashed a toxic green before returning to their normal blue.Â
âCalm down, Danny, it wasnât your fault, you didnât know. You did your best and believed that it would be enough. Iâm sure we can come up with something to help Dani. We just need to know where she is...â said Jazz.
âI⌠I donât know where she is⌠I think I saw her helping during the Disasteroid, with the other ghosts. She must have travelled there, when she heard what he did.â Danny said, unsure of himself. It had all happened so fast, he hadnât paid attention to every single detail. âBut⌠I donât think she stayed, she just⌠kept travelling.â Â
Maddie hummed, âIn that case, weâ WaitâŚ! She came here to Amity when she needed help, right? Thatâs the last time you know for sure that you saw her, and the first time she was in Wisconsin with Vlad, right?â she asked, trying to understand the whole picture better.
âWell, actuallyâ Wait, Mom, do you think she would come back here when she feels weak again?â Danny asked hopefully.Â
âConsidering sheâs done it before, it seems likely. And maybe, if she was indeed there in Antarctica, and she knows that we know who you are now, sheâll feel more comfortable coming to us for help. She may also have heard that Vlad revealed his secret to the world and well...â Maddie was hoping that Dani only hid because of the whole ghost secret identity thing. âYeah, she came to Amity looking for me, she really believed I could help her⌠but if the Ecto-Dejecto wonât help permanently, then what? You arenât gonna let her just turn into goo, right?â asked Danny, wringing his hands subconsciously. âOf course not, Dann-o! Sheâs a Fenton after all! Even if she wasnât, sheâs still a kid, a halfa, but a kid first,â said Jack, nodding.
âThatâs true,â said Maddie. Suddenly she snapped her fingers, âI know what to do! You said that Vlad was trying to force you to give him a âmidâformâ sample, right?â âThat wouldnât be dangerous for Danny, right mom?â Jazz glared pointedly at her mother, worried about what she was getting at. âOf course not, darling, and we would get Dannyâs permission before we extract the sample. But if we can correctly use the scans and diagrams Vlad created, we can use your DNA to help stabilise little Dani permanently!â said Maddie with confidence, after all, there had to be a reason he needed the mid-morph sample.
âReally?â Danny asked hopefully.
âOf course, son!â Jackâs voice boomed with the same confidence as Maddieâs, then he also snapped his fingers, âShe is a clone of you, that may mean she also shares the same ghostly signature as you!" âOh, I see where youâre going with that, honey! That could work!â said Maddie, looking at her husband excitedly. âWhat would work?â asked Danny, glancing back and forth between his parents. âA way to find her,â said Maddie, smiling. âHow?â asked Jazz, a bit lost, itâs like their parents had started communicating telepathically, or something.
âSimple, we use the Boooâmerang!â Maddie said proudly, her smile growing wider.
âBut mom, that always just hits me...â said Danny, unsure of this plan.Â
âNormally, yes, but weâve been working on ways to avoid that, now that we know why it was happening. Weâve actually been modifying all of our weapons to ignore you, to ignore your ghostly signature,â Maddie explained. âWe have that information, we could use it to track down Dani! But first, son, we will need to scan you down in the lab to get the mid-form sample as well as both... um, sidesâŚâ She was unsure how to describe the change.
âBoth sides?â Danny asked for clarification.
âFrom human to ghost and vice versa.â said Maddie, feeling a bit more secure with the term.
âAh! Okay,â Danny grinned, glad they were on the same page. âAnd that would help her, right?â
âThatâs right. With your help, we can permanently stabilise her and sheâll never have to worry about turning into goo again,â Maddie said with a small, but sincere, smile.
âWhat are we just sitting around for? We have a new family member to help!â Jack smiled wide and finished his piece of pizza, gone cold at this point.
The Fenton family had a lot of work ahead of them. They continued their conversation over the rest of the cold pizza, planning and deciding and hammering out the details. All they needed was to put everything in motion, it was only a matter of time until they could find Danielle and bring her home.      To be continued⌠:D :D

Danny's Recurring Identity Crisis pt. 1
Going through high school is torture enough. But if you throw in ghost powers at age 14, then there's sure to be disaster.
Considering Danny was already going through enough problems as a normal teenage boy living with eccentric parents. Adding in the ghost powers paired with his own sense of doing the right thing. Then you've got Danny PhantomâTeen Ghost Fighter.
This comes with a slew of newer issues that get to be a bit much to handle. No wonder Danny constantly faced an identity crisis. And not just when he wanted to spend the summer with his friends as a normal kid.
No, no. Danny's identity crisis continues throughout the show.
The Ghost Catcher being the perfect instrument to show what was going on with Danny mentally when it came to balancing his identities.
Starting early out. He gets his powers. Figures out something new about them every day. Tries to fight ghost crimes with them, do the right thing, fight the good fight.
But keep his ghost side hidden from the world. Which starts to cause him problems as the series progresses.
When he first starts using his powers, it's all standard issue and he's learning, trying to come to terms with them and his role as Danny Phantom.
Which is why when the Ghost Catcher splits him the first time.
It's all too easy to become one again. Because there's no internal struggle yet. He hasn't distinguished both sides. Notice how he starts to separate both sides of himself later on in the series.
Human Danny has school, family, friends, and a life. Ghost Danny fights evil ghosts and protects his town.
Danny drew the line and the internal struggle began.
So when he splits himself with the Ghost Catcher the second time.
And tries to become one again, this happens:
The unholy combination of both sides of Danny warring to come out on top.
These two:
Made this:
The hand on hips thing is purely his own choice btw.
Goes to show how separate both halves have gotten. Danny drew the line to keep his identity a secret, and managed to further alienate both sides of him within himself.
Hence his constant, Danny Fenton does this, and Danny Phantom does that. He doesn't consider them as one. Which is why he manages to make the most stupidest decisions whenever he wishes to shed one side of himself.
This distinction becomes even more disastorous when a certain Disasteroid is hurtling towards earth and Danny Phantom is nowhere to be found cause he fucked it again. Because when the genius did this...
...he mentally and physically got rid of any association with Danny Phantom.
He thought that now that he didn't have his powers anymore, he didn't have to give two shits about standing up for what's right.
We got the Cool Fun Time Danny for good. But this time there wasn't a Super Danny Phantom in the wings to pick up the slack.
Danny stopped caring.
It was like, now that he didn't have his powers, he was free to not care about anyone but his friends and family and about living his life free of responsibilities like any normal teenage boy.
Cause if With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.
Then...
No Powers = No Responsibility.
to be continued...

Visual Aid: Danny Phantom: The College Years
Danny Phantom: The College Years
Hey, Hartfans! So glad you were here, it means the world to me. You guys have tuned in, thanks so much. Don't forget to subscribe to this amazing channel because, you know what? It's an amazing thing to do. Because when you do that, you become super powerful! No, I'm sorry, that's a promise I can't keep.
Alright, Danny Phantom. Danny Phantom, we do a lot of Danny Phantom videos here on the channel, and why is that? I love Danny Phantom. That's a show I created back in the year 2000, and I think I created it in 2001 but it didn't even start airing until 2004. So I worked on it for about three years before it even got onto television, and it was such a great show to develop. So now I'm working on the fast-paced, rapid-fire world of Fairly Odd Parents, now I've got to work on a whole different show, Danny Phantom. And Danny Phantom ends in 2007. It, uh, you know, the show wasn't getting picked up, they were done - and networks do this sometimes. They certainly don't want to do every single show by one creator, I learned that. *Laughs* "Hey, why don't you guys do ALL my shows?!"
*whispers* Would have been fun, though, huh? 'Magine- wouldn't it be cool, all Butch Hartman sh-, I have, anyway. And just, it's a dre-am.
So, anyway, Danny Phantom stopped, in my opinion, too early. So when I got to do more Danny Phantom ideas here on the YouTube channel, I just couldn't believe how awesome that was. I got to do Danny Phantom 10 Years Later, what would the characters look like ten years later. But I was thinking, what if we did a video where it wasn't Danny Phantom ten years later, he's 24. What if we did a Danny Phantom video where he's just out of high school, and he's in college? Danny Phantom, the college years. What would that be like? What would happen to Danny Phantom, Sam Manson, and Tucker Foley if we caught them in college? What would that be like? What type of a show would that be? I mean, let's just picture that for a second.
Danny Fenton is now, let's say, 18, 19 years old, and how's he dressing now? I think we still have to dress him in the classic Fenton, Danny Fenton t-shirt, but maybe there's a hoodie over it. Maybe there's some type of other uh, uh, stuff he wears to - obviously to, to make him more hip and more uh, giving more trendy for the time. But what is Danny all about? Because this would take place after Phantom Planet. Phantom Planet is where Danny saved the world from a Disasteroid. He turned the world intangible with the help of every ghost in the Ghost Zone. Earth became intangible, the asteroid passed through it, and uh, Danny uh, is now revered throughout the planet earth. He's like, uh, the world's ultimate star - ultimate superhero. If he's gonna continue to, to walk in that storyline, what would Danny's life be like? I mean, he's gotta go to college, right? He's got to continue learning, and so do Sam and Tucker. But what is that gonna be like?
Now, Tucker is the mayor of Amity Park. Yeah. So, Tucker's now the 18 - he's been mayor probably for four or five years now. Maybe he keeps getting reelected because he's popular, and he's funny, and I think with Tucker's technology, I think Tucker has technified - ooh, Technus. Oppertunity for Technus - I think technified uh, Amity Park like crazy. I think there's just electronic billboards everywhere, I think there are uh, parking meters you can just press your thumb to them and pay for your parking. I think there's retina scans everywhere. I think Tucker just tried to make life so much easier for Amity Parkians. And maybe Tucker has become a world-renowned of, uh, of, of how to run a city. *Laughs* That Might be kind of cool. AND he still wants to go to college, and so I think Tucker would probably be a teacher at the college at this young age. I think he's probably the youngest teacher.
I think the school they would go to is probably... I was gonna call it Amity University because it's in Amity Park, but I have a feeling since Danny's now a, a world hero, I think they're probably going to call it Fenton University, I think they name it after him. But I think Tucker uh, is, is probably the greatest mayor that's ever lived, at least as far as advancing his city. I just think Tucker wouldn't have time to teach at a college at this point, he's still young, he's still the mayor, people are lovin' what he does. And I just think he's actually going on lecture tours to other mayors. *Laughs* He's out to other cities to show them how to advance as well. I think that technology can even be turned against him in a huge way. Maybe Technus at one point can turn the entire city of Amity Park against Danny.
Danny, uh, can't really go anywhere on his own because he's always got people following him. I think people trying to get his picture, but I think people are used to it.
No matter where Danny goes, if he's in a coffee shop, I can see a shot where they're sitting in the coffee shop and the camera's looking at them, but you see out the window all these people pressed against the glass, trying to see Danny. I think Danny's life has become really, really, uh, just not a life of his own. He's like a rock star now and he doesn't have any privacy. And Sam, I think, is stuck by him. Number one, I think she loves him and he loves her, so they stick together everywhere. But they're trying to find ways to be alone, and I think they're trying to find ways to still accomplish the mission which is, even though all the ghosts have teamed up with Danny and saved the Earth, I still think when the ghosts went back into the Ghost Zone uh, they uh, still love the game of fighting Danny. I think there are some other ghosts we haven't even met yet that, uh, think it was a mistake to save the Earth, and they want to destroy Danny even more than ever now. You know, being a college student, Danny would still have to do his homework. He's still i-if he wants to be treated just like anybody else.
I think Dani, D-A-N-I, Danielle Fenton, she probably goes to college now, too. She's probably a year behind Danny, or two years behind Danny. I think he's more of a wild card though. I think she's more of a street kid, and she's used to being on the streets and I think she, she doesn't have the sympathetic side that Danny does. I almost think Dani would be like Dr. Manhattan and the Watchmen, in a way. Not where he's so aloof and just removed from humanity, but he really can't relate to people the same way anymore.
As I'm sitting here, talking about this, I think it'd be kind of cool where the whole arc of the story would be Danny trying to maintain his humanity. Because his human side wants to be with people, but the people are so swarming him, he can't relate to them anymore. He wants to be away from them. So maybe his ghost side starts taking over and wants to be more alone, whereas in The Watchmen, Dr. Manhattan went to Mars to be alone, maybe Danny goes somewhere. Maybe Danny moves into the Ghost Zone for a while. I can see Danny having a uh, loft apartment in the Ghost Zone, and him and Sam go hang out there just to get away from everybody. That's the one place people can't follow them.
But What about Jazz Fenton, Danny's sister? What would she be doing at this point? I mean, Danny's world famous, he's got to be watched and protected. Two theories. One, Jazz could be a professor at Fenton University as well. But one fan theory, and I like this theory, suggests that maybe Jazz marries Dash Baxter? I don't know. Maybe. I think, though, Jazz becomes Danny's handler. I think Jazz is constantly moving Danny from place to place. She's his protector, she's his PR person. She is his ultimate Danny Phantom social media director, everything.
Again, these are things I think about as I'm sitting here behind this desk because I never leave this desk. I'm actually fused to the desk. I'm half-man, half-desk, all Butch Hartman.
All right, we have to introduce new characters, too. We have to have new students in school, with secrets. We'd have to have new teachers, with secrets. Uh, and since he's known worldwide, I, I think he's always being challenged. I think Danny's always being challenged to see how good he is, so I think he's constantly having to fight.

Hereâs an old, partial Danny Phantom fic Iâd started at one point. Post-Phantom Planet
âMan,â Danny groaned, âsometimes I just wish no one else knew my secret!â It wasnât a secret anymore, of course. The entire world knew. But things would be easier if they didnât. Wouldnât they? Maybe not, given how literally Desiree grants wishes.
Whoever thought being rich and famous would be great had clearly never experienced a taste of either. Danny Fenton had, at different times, experienced both. At first, being rich had seemed like a dream come true, but it hadnât taken himâor anyone else in his family, for that matterâlong to realize that heâd been happier before it had happened. Theyâd had the good fortune to be able to leave the life of the rich behindâand, with it, their mansion next to Vlad Mastersâ home, thankfullyâand resume their normal lives again, all the wiser for their experience.
Being famous was something that had happened exclusively to Danny. For all that he wasnât the genius in the family, he was the one who had ghost powers. He was Danny Phantom. He was Amity Parkâs hero. Well, he was now that he was no longer Public Enemy Number One. And, since the fiasco with the Disasteroid, he was the acknowledged hero worldwide.
He hadnât wanted that recognition, exactly. Heâd have been happy just to get his parents off his back. He hadnât needed statues of him to be built in every capital city of the world. That was just embarrassing, heâd thought. Yes, heâd saved everyone, but heâd had help, and anyoneâwell, except for maybe Vlad, who would have done so only for his own purposesâwould have saved everyone if theyâd been able to simply because theyâd had the opportunity. He hadnât done anything special.
But he was being hailed as a hero nonetheless, and with that, he got a lot of unwanted attention.
Things had been simpler, really, back when his ghost powers had been a secret from all but a select few. Danny Phantom was still famous in Amity Park, and he was either hunted by ghost hunters, his parents included, or hounded by fans, but he could leave all that behind. He could step out of the limelight. A quick change in an empty room, darkened alley, abandoned building, what have you, and he could return to being plain old Danny Fenton. Just a kid, a loser, the lowest of the low on Casper Highâs social food chain and the favourite punching bag of one Dash Baxter.
Okay, so maybe being plain old Danny Fenton had had its downsides, too, but heâd never been mobbed by people or followed by the media or anything when he wasnât Phantom. And, heck, the time Amorpho had shown up, theyâd both learned the value of anonymity. Heâd loved being able to leave the spotlight behind.
That wasnât possible now.
The whole world knew his secret. Not just his best friends, Sam and Tucker, and his sister, Jazz, along with a variety of his enemies, Vlad included. It had its benefits, of course. His parents didnât hunt him anymore, and theyâd accepted him. Valerie had even apologized to him for hunting him down, too. Dash didnât try to shove him into lockers anymore. His teachers would let him write make-up tests if a ghost attacked and he had to leave during the middle of an exam, and they were more lenient on homework due dates for him, too, so he was doing better in school.
The best part, though, was that he and Sam were together now. And it meant Tucker had stopped making cracks about them being lovebirds, for the most part. But he wasnât clueless anymore, and he knew how much Sam meant to him, how much sheâd always meant to him, and it was even easier than heâd thought to overlook Paulina and any of the other girls who had tried to get a date with him after his secret had been revealed.
The fact that Vlad was gone, stuck on the Disasteroid and floating somewhere in space, didnât hurt anything, either. The rest of the ghosts still plagued Amity Park since his parents had fixed the Fenton Ghost Portal, but at least they didnât try to capture anyone (except for him, especially in Skulkerâs case). Danny couldnât help but wonder if it was out of boredomâalong with a desire to escape the Ghost Zone, of course. But for all that a bunch of the local ghosts kept trying to push the limits, they hadnât tried ganging up on him and he hadnât had to deal with anyone really, really strong. The fact that everyone knew his secret, that it was no longer something that the ghosts could hold over his head and taunt him with, meant the dynamic had shifted a bit.
But it was the other shift, the fact that Danny Fenton was just as famous as Danny Phantom, that Danny was having trouble getting used to. And it had been, what, three months? He hadnât had any peace. Any.
The media trailed him wherever he was. People stared at him, even kids heâd known all his life. His parents had gotten an unlisted number, but it had gotten out somehow, and the phone kept ringing off the hook. His dad was threatening to get rid of the phone altogether if it didnât stop. He had to keep switching cell phone numbers, too. And the letters. Heâd gotten letters requesting help from people in different countries, for goodness sakes! He wasnât even sure how theyâd gotten his address.
Heâd had to close his email account for the same reason, as well as the one heâd opened to replace it, and it hadnât taken him long to realize that people were using every form of communication they could to get in touch with him.
They werenât going to move. He should be thankful for that. But heâd heard his parents mention it, if only wistfully. While the attention wasnât focused on them, they werenât spared from it, either, and neither was Jazz.
It was getting to the point where Danny would actually be quite happy to go and visit Aunt Alicia for a few weeks. It might be Tuckerâs worst nightmare, but right now, heâd welcome escaping technology. He would miss running water and indoor plumbing a lot more than electricity, but at least it would be difficult for them to follow him, wouldnât it?
Probably not. Back when heâd only been famous as Phantom, Danny had realized that some of the media people were really determined. And crazy. Admirable, he supposed, but annoying for him, since too many of them seemed to see him as their newest âstoryâ. Now? Now, it was just ten times worse. A hundred, even.
His mom was still talking about home schooling them, too. Invisibility and intangibilityâand flight, when it came down to itâreally helped to get away from the press, but the constant attention wasnât easy, and it was even wearing on Jazz. She didnât show it much, but Danny could see it.
The pile of broken pencils in the garbage can beside the desk in her room made that pretty clear, too.
At least his parents had managed to hold off the Guys in White. They were probably the main reason Danny hadnât been shipped off and locked away in some government facility to be studied for the unique specimen he was. But he couldnât shake the feeling that the Guys in White hadnât given up, that they werenât just waiting until everything died down a bit, until they could find some loophole that would tie his parentsâ hands and let them spirit him awayâŚ.
He wasnât safe anymore. Heâd never really been safe safe, not since the accident, but heâd been marginally safer when his secret had been, well, a secret. The Guys in White were determined, after all, and had become increasingly competent. Him being half-human wasnât enough to stop them from seeing him as a ghost to be dissected and studied, nothing more than an unfeeling and exceedingly unique specimen. If heâd had any doubts, theyâd all been banished by the way heâd been chased down when his secret had first been revealed to the world during the incident with the Reality Gauntlet.
Then, heâd been able to turn the clock back, in a way. Heâd remodelled reality, let it resemble what it was supposed to, the way things had been before Freakshow had escaped and used the Reality Gauntlet in the first place. Heâd taken away the memories of the entire nightmarish incident from everyone except those who had known beforehand. Everything had gone back to normal, or, at least, what had become normal. It had been a relief.
He didnât have any such solace now, though he couldnât say he regretted not having to keep a secret from his parents.
There was a meteor shower tonight, so at least he didnât have to wonder which ghost was likely to show up. Desiree never missed anything like this. She had an annoying habit of managing to turn up at little kidsâ birthday parties, too, heâd found. She was easy enough to deal with, but she always managed to wreak a little bit of havoc before he caught her. And tonight, well, she could be anywhere.
That was why he was out early; only the first stars were starting to show up. He was invisible, of course. That was the only way he could go anywhere without being followed these days. This time last year, he probably would have taken a bit of time to enjoy studying the night sky. Once he caught Desiree, the only ones who couldâve stopped him wouldâve been his parents, or maybe Valerie, unless one of his ghostly enemies had decided to show up.
A quick patrol meant Desiree was still managing to keep ahead of him. The first few shooting stars streaked across the sky, and Danny started his rounds again, looking for a party of some sort. Desiree was more likely to go to a larger crowd of people than to pick off stragâ
âGhost boy!â
Danny blinked. He wasnât flying over Casper High anymore, and he didnât need his ghost sense going off to tell him why. As it was, he was holding Paulina. Drifting lazily above her backyard. Danny put her down on the grass. âPaulina,â he said slowly, âyou know Iâm dating SamâŚ.â Paulina wasnât the only one who had persisted in calling him âghost boyâ, but she was one of the few girls Sam hadnât been able to scare off. Danny had the uncomfortable feeling that Paulina saw this as a challenge, and she was stubborn enough not to back down. This just proved it. Again.
Paulina Sanchez pulled a face. âDanny,â she purred, âjust for one night, donât you thinkâ?â
âFor the last time, no, Paulina,â Danny said. He turned around to see a smirking Desiree. He was surprised she was still here, actually, but he supposed she was waiting for Paulina to make another wish. He could guess what it was.
He let his hands glow green as he rose in the air to face Desiree. âIt wasnât very smart to let her wish me here, you know,â he said. âYouâre just making my job easier.â
Desiree laughed. âI grant them as I hear them, Phantom.â
Danny frowned. âNo, you donât. You twist them. Thatâs what you do. Make monster trucks actual monster trucks and all that.â He glanced back down at Paulina. âWhatâd you wish for?â he asked, suddenly wary.
âOh, the usual boring drivel,â Desiree answered. âTo spend the night in your arms and that sort of thing. Youâre confined here until dawn, if youâre wondering, while Iâm out granting wishes.â Her smile grew suddenly. âHave fun.â
âHey!â Danny yelled, sending an ectoblast after her. She might not have had a lot of time to grant wishes, but she still looked a bit too strong to be easily caught in the thermos, even if he wished her in there. âYou canât do that!â
Another laugh. âI already have.â
Danny sent another ectoblast in her direction and flew towards her. Desiree hadnât trapped him in a cage, after all. She couldnât seriously expectâ
Danny groaned and twisted around in the air to right himself after the impact. Heâd hitâŚsomething, and had only barely managed to dodge his own ectoblast, which had been reflected back at him by that same something. âWhatâd you do,â he asked, rubbing his nose, âput up an invisible ghost shield that only works on me?â
Desiree, who was three feet away and somehow out of his reach, smirked again. âHeight restrictionâs twenty feet,â she said.
âMy parents can get me out of here, you know,â he warned her.
Desiree shrugged. âIt wonât matter what form youâre in. Youâre not leaving that yard until the sun comes up, even through the Ghost Zone. You might as well enjoy yourself.â
âEnjoy myself?â Danny repeated. âSamâs going to kill me even if I donât land all night!â This was one benefit with Desiree; he could sometimes distract her with conversation, so long as he watched what he said. It wasnât much different than letting Technus get caught up in one of his rants, really. It bought him time.
Of course, he still had no idea what to wish for to get out of this.
Then again, maybe he didnât have to. Danny smiled. Heâd fought Desiree often enough that heâd realized he could sometimes exploit a loophole in one of her wishes, sort of like she could take a general wish and turn it into a nightmare. He didnât know the exact terms of this one, but he was pretty sure it would work.
Desiree noticed his smile and crossed her arms. âYou arenât getting out of this one until your timeâs up,â she said.
âI can make Paulina regret her words,â he said. âSheâll kick me out. Iâll catch up with you in five minutes.â
âIâll save you the trouble,â Desiree said. âYou canât go invisible or intangible, as per your friendâs instructions. She didnât want to lose her hold on you.â
Great. That probably meant that even if he did manage to get out of the yard, heâd be bogged down by everyone else he was trying to avoid. âHey, wait!â he yelled as Desiree started off again. âIâm not done talking to you yet.â
A laugh. âIâm done with you,â came the reply. âCanât you hear all the wishes people are making, Phantom? Itâs glorious.â
It was also resulting in, from what he could see, things like three-headed dragons and wild horses andâwho the heck would wish for a fifty-foot snake? Okay, so he couldnât understand the dragon, either. He suspected the horses were a result of a little girl wishing for a pony or two, though. Stupid traditions of wishing on shooting starsâŚ.
âI wish,â Danny yelled, causing Desiree to stop and look back at him again, âI wishâŚ. Man, sometimes I just wish no one else knew my secret!â He wouldnât be in this position if Paulina didnât know he was Fenton and Phantom. Well, he might be in this position as Phantom, but if heâd snuck away and Fenton turned up, heâd be out on the street in no time. Before sheâd found out he was the ghost boy, the only time Paulina had had time for him was when sheâd wanted something.
Desiree had an incredulous look on her face, and she flew closer to him again. âReally?â she asked.
Danny suddenly had a very, very bad feeling. âUmâŚno?â
Heâd asked Clockwork if he could have a do-over of the events that followed the Disasteroid and had been refused. He hadnât thought to ask Desiree before. Well, yes, he had, but heâd ruled that out. Desiree couldnât pull something like that off. As far as he knew, it was out of her power range.
Danny looked at Desireeâs enlarged form and swallowed.
Her usual power range, anyway.
Now that he thought about it, it probably wasnât. If he hadnât revealed himself in front of the TV cameras, the people who knew his secret would be considerably fewer. And Desiree could handle wiping the memories of a handful of people. Sheâd done it when sheâd erased Sam from his life, after all.
Oh, crud. Why had he ever opened his mouth? He knew better than to make careless wishes in front of Desiree. And he knew he couldâve said something a heck of a lot more harmless.
Unfortunately, there was âknowingâ and there was âdoingâ.
âI, uh, take it back? I wish I hadnât made that wish?â
Desiree laughed. âDoesnât work like that,â she said. âSo you have wished it, so shall it be!â
As the wave of power rolled towards Danny, he closed his eyes and flinched away, knowing things were going to be a whole lot worse when he opened them again.
2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
âYoo-hoo! Ghost boy!â
Danny cracked open one eye. Desiree was gone, but that wasnât a surprise. With both eyes open again, he tentatively put a hand forward and found that he was still bound to Paulinaâs yard. Great. That hadnât changed, either.
He looked down to see Paulina waving at him and couldnât help but wonder if anything had changed. Maybe Desiree had been bluffing after all. About being able to un-wish a wish, at least. She probably hadnât been kidding about putting a cap on how high he could fly or anything like that, though. He wasnât that lucky.
He sighed and drifted back to the ground. âPaulina, I canâtââ
âOh, you remember me!â He suddenly found himself enfolded in a hug. âI knew you would!â
âUh, Paulina?â Danny said, tryingâand failingâto phase through her arms to get out of her death grip. âWhy didnât you think Iâd know who you were?â Maybe Desiree hadnât been bluffing after all.
Paulina smiled at him. âWe never have been properly introduced,â she said.
Danny swallowed. Okay, Desiree hadnât been bluffing. But he didnât really want to find out what Paulina meant by âproperly introducedâ. This time last year, yes, he probably wouldâve been overjoyed. Now?
Now, he had to get out of here before Sam really had a reason to kill him.

Phanniemay18 Day Thirteen: Swap
Day Thirteen: Swap
Genre: General
Words: 966
Danny had his ghost powers seven years before Phantom slowly started to influence his human appearance.
He knew that at twenty-one years old, it wasn't very common to grow white hair, so when Sam noticed the gradual discoloration in the back of his hair one day, he acted appropriately. He panicked.
Obviously, his first assumption was that he was slowly becoming more and more ghostly, even in his human form. Was he dying? Was he going full ghost? Were his two forms merging?
He wasn't steered off that train of thought for a while, even when Sam reassured him that the tests his parents did on him guaranteed that his core was stable. She also reminded him that the results concluded that Fenton and Phantom would remain two separate forms and that the only way he would become a full ghost would be dying. And then, Sam proceeded to lecture him on the benefits of not finishing dying early (mostly because she was worried he'd accidentally go off and die because of his recklessness).
But after that, things only got more confusing when Phantom, started growing black hairs in the same place white-hairs appeared on his human form. It was definitely a lot more visible as Phantom too; black hair on white hair had a lot more contrast than white hair on black. And that meant that it wasn't long before his hair problem started attracting the paparazzi, who normally stayed away from him after the chaos following the Disasteroid crisis... unless there was something concrete brewing in the gossip department.
Suddenly, everyone (including himself) was questioning why Phantom had suddenly grown black hairs, and why Fenton had grown white.
And, he still had no answers.
He finally forced his Mom to do more tests on him to clarify that his ghost side was overcoming his human side, and thankfully, that wasn't the situation. He also wasn't dying, so that was good too.
But it still didn't explain why his hair was changing color in both of his forms at a progressively fast rate. After a month after noticing the first few white hairs, the discoloration had reached to the bottoms of his ears. And it didn't look like it was slowly down.
In a hopeless attempt, he tried dying his hair black as Fenton. But, when he transformed into Phantom, nothing had changed with his ghost form. Later that day, he discovered that when he turned back into Fenton, the dye had completely dissipated, only leaving his hair a lot more dry than usual.
He did more tests, only to still have a lack of sensible answers. For Clockwork's sake, he was twenty-one years old and now half of his hair was pure white! Something had to be wrong with him, right? It had to be some kind of error because of his hybrid status. There was no other explanation that he could find appropriate to the circumstances.
By the time his hair had gone white up to his eye level, Danny eventually resigned to his fate and gave up trying to find an explanation. It had been going on for at least eight months, and so far nothing had changed about him besides his hair. Now he would just have to live with the fact that Fenton would have white hair, and Phantom would have black; a basic swap of his two forms. It wasn't preferable, but he supposed it wasn't that big of a change. Thankfully he didn't have a secret identity anymore, because this would've been a horrible reveal.
Danny didn't find out the cause behind his hair problem until after the swap had completely settled, a year after the change had started.
In all of his panicking, he'd always confronted his mother about his worries and the prevalent tests on his ghost half. She was better with the biological side, while his dad was always better with the technological aspect. So, somehow, he had simply avoided talking to his dad about it, and Jack had never really pressed the issue concerning Danny's hair (even though it was blatantly obvious). Until one day, Danny learned why.
âI assume you knew,â Jack shrugged. âI must have told you at some point, Danno. But my hair turned white starting about my twenties, and so did my dad, and his, and so on. I mean, it didn't happen as rapidly as yours, and I definitely didn't go full white-haired until at least my thirties, but I guess that the ectoplasm in your DNA sped up the rate it happened.â
âWait, so you had full white hair in your thirties? Your hair is still partially black though!â Danny said.
âThat's because I only dye half of it,â Jack explained. âI never really liked the white hair, but I... I always partially dyed my hair black because of what happened to Vladdie all those years ago with his hair. I wanted to not make him feel as isolated. I used to never understand why he didn't dye it, but I suppose from what you've told me, half-ghosts can't really use hair dye, huh?â
âYeah,â Danny groaned. âIt sucks. I just want my hair colors to go back to how they were.â
âHey,â Jack reassured, âon the bright-side, you still have black hair, just not in human form. You just swapped.â
âYeah, I guess that's true,â Danny agreed, realization truly sinking in. Suddenly, he looked back at Jack accusingly, âAlso, you're stupid for not telling me. It's been a year, Dad.â
Jack had to laugh a little bit. âYou never asked!â
âI was so freaked out, it's not funny! Wait a minute...â Danny paused, remembering something else, âdoes mom not know that you dye your hair?â
âUh...â he shifted nervously, âcan you not tell your mother this?â
âDad!â

I really really love and want
a Danny Phantom and Supergirl crossover
Where the Disasteroid actually came and destroyed the Earth but not before Danny and his family tried to escape through one of the Ghost Zone portals but only he made it through and then he lands in National City, all depressed and angsty and grief-stricken over the loss of everyone he LOVES!!!!!
Then Kara finds him after a completed mission or something crying in an alley and mourning over Sam and Tucker and Jazz and Mom and Dad and...just, EVERYONE!!
SO THEN KARA THINKS 'I CAN'T JUST LEAVE THIS BOY ALONE' AND GOES AND COMFORTS HIM BECAUSE SHE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO LOSE YOUR WHOLE WORLD AND EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER KNOWN.
THEN EVENTUALLY DANNY GOES TO LIVE WITH KARA AND HE AND WINN BECOME GREAT FRIENDS AND ALEX TRIES TO TEACH HIM MORE EFFICIENT FIGHTING TECHNIQUES AND THEN THEY ALL LEARN THAT DANNY IS HALF GHOST AND HE'S SCARED THAT THEY'LL HURT HIM OR SOMETHING BUT THEN THEY ALL LIKE "Nah man, you cool. I mean we deal with aliens on a daily basis." And he's just accepted into they're small family.
AND THEN NOT TO MENTION THAT KARA KNOWS ABOUT THE MULTIVERSE!!! SO THEN SHE TELLS HIM THAT THERE ARE MULTIPLE EARTHS AND THAT GIVES DANNY HOPE THAT HE'LL ONE DAY FIND THIS EARTH'S TUCKER AND SAM AMD JAZZ AND MAYBE EVEN HIMSELF.
But then he decides not too, because if he met their dopplegangers, then it wouldn't be the Sam amd Tucker and Jazz that he knew. And then Danny just KNOWS that the best way to honor their memory is to just remember them as they are.
And then a few months after Danny goes to live with Kara....
DANNY PHANTOM MAKES HIS FIRST APPEARANCE!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE THIS IDEA SO MUCH, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE THIS?!?!?!?!?

Theme: Hope/Hatred
âI know youâre upset, and thatâs okay, but I think we can both admit that you arenât being entirely fair to him.â
Damon was sitting in one of the two unmatched chairs that, together, made up two-thirds of their living room furniture, the only other piece being the cabinet their TV sat on. His daughter had just walked into the room and caught the end of a segment on Danny Phantom (which had become ubiquitous in the week since the Disasteroid event) that he was half-listening to while he stitched some torn clothes. Valerie had taken to opportunity to remind anyone who might be listening that Danny didnât deserve all the praise he was getting. Â
Damon had never actually followed the news about Danny Phantom, and he certainly didnât have the same relationship with him his daughter had had, both as a ghost hunter (he still felt like he was having a mild heart attack whenever he thought of how much danger she had been in on a regular basis) and as a fellow student. In a way, though, he felt like that allowed him some perspective that his daughter might benefit from. He felt that her feelings toward Danny had more to do with her relationship with him that anything to do with the boy himself.
âI donât think we can,â she responded, straightening her back like she was about to give a presentation. âIn fact, I feel like Iâm the only one whoâs being fair. So he saved the world, so what? We donât even know why he did it - Danny lives on Earth, maybe he was just doing it to not lose his home. That doesnât prove that he cares about anyone, especially not us.â Damon hated the harsh tone in his daughterâs voice, but he didnât know what he could say to erase it. Â
âValerie âŚâ
âDonât give me that look. Phantom - Danny - he doesnât care about us. Itâs been a week, and nothing. He ruined our lives and he canât even manage an apology?â
âHe didnât -â She held up her hand.
âDonât, dad. We both know that things were better before you lost your job.â He followed her gaze to the shirt and sewing supplies he had put down on his lap. He couldn't truly deny that he missed a time when he would have just gotten a new shirt. But that wasnât the point.
âHe probably just hadnât had the chance to talk. Iâm sure youâll see him once the reporters give him a break.â
âNo, it isnât that he hasnât talked to me thatâs the problem.â Valerie sounded frustrated, like she was stating the obvious and didnât understand why Damon was not getting it. âHeâs caused plenty of damage, but he hasnât acknowledged it once. Heâs done so many interviews the past seven days, youâd think he could spare a few words for the people heâs hurt. We deserve that much. But no, heâs too busy talking about how he just did what was right and anyone in his position would do the same and how heâs just so perfect and good. God forbid the worldâs hero admit heâs ever done anything wrong.â
Valerie was looking at the floor now, and Damon suddenly realized that it was not just anger that he heard in her voice. There was grief there as well. Had she perhaps thought that, with his secret identity revealed, Danny would apologize for what he had done as Phantom? When he didnât, had Valerieâs hope turned to hatred?
Damon wished for the millionth time that he knew how to talk to his daughter to make her feel better. It seemed far too often that, when he tried to talk to her about her feelings, it always came across like he was just telling her not to be upset, and that just made her more upset and less willing to talk. But maybe if he could get her to see Danny the way he did - perhaps not as a hero, but not as a villain either, maybe that would help.
âOf course heâs done wrong, but who hasnât? It doesnât mean heâs not a good person. I donât fully understand what he did back then at Axion, but Iâm sure he didnât do it on purpose.â
âThat doesnât make it better!â she yelled, throwing her hands in the air. âHe did them, and then never thought about them again, because he doesnât care about anyone but himself, and maybe his stupid girlfriend. And heâs going to keep hurting people because he canât be bothered to admit his mistakes and learn from them. No matter how many lives heâs saved, if he canât even do that, heâs not a hero. And I refuse to praise him as one like everyone else.â
Valerie sat down firmly on the other chair and crossed her arms. She was looking away from Damon, but he could see the tension in her face and body and he knew he had said the wrong thing once again.
âYou donât have to.â He sighed, unsure if he could explain without it coming out like an excuse. âIâm sorry if it sounded like I was telling you how to feel or what to think; I didnât mean to. I was just trying to tell you why I donât think Danny is as bad as you think he is. But of course, I canât change your mind - only you can do that, and only if youâre willing.â Valerieâs posture had softened somewhat. She still wasnât looking at him, but he could tell she wasnât glaring. If anything, she seemed tired. Damon could not believe that she wanted to be so angry all the time. It must be exhausting.
âAre you willing to change your mind, Valerie?â he asked in a soft voice. Now she looked at him, eyes squinted in suspicion. She was clearly ready to be angry again if need be. Damon continued in the same tone. âIf he were to do something, or say something, that showed that he cared, would you be willing to forgive him?â Valerieâs body was tense again.
âIt would have to be something pretty dang impressive.â But she suddenly dropped the defensive posture. Perhaps Damonâs sadness at her reply had shown on his face, because she quickly amended, âBut, yeah, I guess I might change my mind.â Damon smiled, and the smile he received back from his daughter was the first one he had seen in a week.

For the send me a fandom thing..... Danny Phantom? (I am prepared to sit and read this all day I know you've got a quite a bit about this one hehe)
MELLO YOU HAVE UNLEASHED A HUGE CAN OF GHOST WORMS HUEHUEHUEHUEHUEHEUHEU THANK YOU
How I entered/learned about the said game/show/movie/etc of that fandom
I started watching Danny Phantom around 12 as well!! I saw it advertised all over YTV, and it gave Saturday mornings on what use to be called the Vortex?? Which was like a segment, for lack of a better word, in which all the Saturday morning cartoons gave. Anyway, I always watched the Vortex so I managed to catch the premiere and I LOVED it
Anyway I ended up finding the fanfiction archive for it and the Danny Phantom ff archive is constantly BOUNCING or as kids say nowadays, lit?? And there were SO MANY GOOD WRITERS!!! So I mostly partook in that, and read some of the message boards on YTVâs website too. Then the show ended and I was dissatisfied with the mess that was Phantom Planet (as is the whole Fandom) and ironically enough, I canât remember how (probably via dA. I even had a shitty insert yourself half-ghost OC man I was in DEEP and have not yet emmerged) I stumbled upon the HUGE phandom presence on ye old tumblr trash site and ended up joining BECAUSE of the Phandom and I have not left since theyâre just so great and the parts of the Phandom I follow are such a good community and the ANGST and the FANART and the Discourse and the trash ships (DannyxPink Pants anyone?) and the âitâs not gay if heâs deadâ and fucking WES WESTON that trash cryptid child like
The Phandom is SUCH A GOOD
Fave character
Wes isnât even a canon character but heâs a fave! Honestly though, Danny was always my favourite character what a dork. What a wonderful, half-dead, angst filled pun freak DORK. Honestly re-watching Danny Phantom Iâm like âwell now I know where the love of puns came fromâ. They couldâve done SO MUCH with this troubled kid??? I loved it loved loved loved it and love him like what a GOOD
To be honest thereâs soo many characters I like. Like Valerie is gr8, sheâs also SUCH A GOOD and Jack Fenton is just hilarious, Maddie Fenton is so badass?????? WHAT A GOOD And Tucker, man just TF for Too Fine inDEED
Hereâs a fun one, I use to HATE Dani Phantom because everyone at school watched Danny Phantom and when that episode aired everyone called me clone for at least a year it was VERY ANNOYING but now Iâm just like whATEVER IDGAF SURE WHY NOT THE POWERS JUST HAVENâT KICKED IN YET I GUESS (tbh hopefully they do soon). Sheâs a really gr8 character too!
I could go on but honestly Iâm really, really lazy
Least fave character
Paulina sorta bothered me, probably b/c of the stereotype/trope of popular mean girl that was thrown at her. Sam could be cringey at times too. I cannot STAND Poindexter like hecker fuck he was sO ANNOYING and Walker is a punk ass bitch and I would fight him if I could (yeah yeah itâs against the rules I donât give a fuck, Iâll punch him right in his square ghost face)
Lancer was also occasionally super unfair though âTeacher of the Yearâ definitely gave me a soft spot for him
OTP(s)
Danny and Sam, which is commonly known as Amethyst Ocean I believe b/c eye colours?? I think they have another ship name too thatâs a lot less poetic ish but I canât remember that discourse
And also Vengeful Babes which is Valerie and Dani okay like the moment I found that pairing EXISTED I was g o n e I really like the dynamic they could have???? Iâd watch them beat of Vlad every day for the rest of my life and then go home together to eat shit and watch shitty movies. I just love them SO MUCH
Pairing that everyone likes but I donât get
Okay I donât know if everyone likes these two pairings?? I think their followings are SMALL but itâs Danny FentonxDanny Phantom which I just canât get behind I am not a fan of the self ship itâsâŚidk it definitely is a squick thatâs for sure (I think itâs ship name is Pitch Pearl, I canât remember)
SAME WITH VLAD AND DANNY LIKE WHY??? WHY! I canât stand that ship I really canât it also squicks me I just donât like it it makes me all cringey. Like Iâm all for the mentor and student angle, if Vlad wasnât such a vengeful fruit loop, but the ship ship like no please keep that 70 feet away from me, thanks.
Also I canât recall if Iâm using the term âsquickâ properly, but it sounds like icky and those ships make me feel icky soooooo
Fave thing about the fandom
EVERYTHING??
Theyâre so collaborative, itâs wonderful! The whole entire Fandom basically created Wesâ backstory and such together! The theories! The angst! The fanfiction! How we all come together to complain about the creator when he comes around like HEY WHADDUP HERE��S HOW EVERYHTING IS STOP BEING CREATIVE!!
THEREâS SOO MUCH MORE AND I KNOW IâM FORGETTING HALF OF IT BUT MAN THE PHANDOM IS SO WONDERFUL I LOVE THEM
The most despised thing
When Butch Hartman emerges on the internet-sphere with a double edged sword consisting of new content on one edge and killing all our fun on the other edge
Like honestly I donât think thereâs ever been a fandom that dislikes the show creator as much as the Phandom does. Itâs beautiful how everyone comes together to bash him when he ruins our fave theories and general fun. Itâs very heart warming.
If there is something I would change from said game/show/movie/etc., what would it be.
I would retcon a good chunk of season 3 okay and fix it up like the episode where the Fentons become rich and are totally ooc??? Yeah Iâd absolutely retcon that and Iâve seen some REALLY GOOD POSTS lost DEEP in my TAG about how they would retcon it (tey being various phans)
And I would erase Phantom Planet completely. How, you ask? WELL.
I WOULD INCEPTION THE FUCK OUT OF PHANTOM PLANET. LIKE DANNY WAKES UP IN PAHNTOM PLANET OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND JUST TEARS IT APART LIKEÂ âVLAD WOULD NEVER DO THATâ ORÂ âTUCKER, MAYOR? REALLY?â ORÂ âDISASTEROID? I MEAN, I LOVE PUNS BUT THATâS GOING OVERKILLâ because how fun would it be to see Danny tear apart his own finale? Very fun, thatâs how

Chapter 2: âAllies come in all formsâ
It took a couple of days for the Fentons to calibrate the scanners as well as double and triple check that they were safe to use without hurting Danny. After that, Jack and Maddie worked diligently to create a stabilising agent to help Danielle. Danny couldnât believe that they were finally going to have some closure with Dani and actually help her in the right way. Then, just as all their planning and preparations were coming together, it was time for Danny and Jazz to go back to school.Â
With the whole end-of-the-world thing, plus the investigation into Vlad, and the Fentons subsequent partnership with the FBI, suffice to say the kids had been allowed to take a couple of weeks off from school. This gave the young ghost hero and his family plenty of time to adjust to their new norm. Even though some people knew Danny's secret identity now, not everyone did and the family as well as the FBI preferred to keep it that wayâ both to give Danny some semblance of normalcy, and to prevent excitable members of the public from acting foolish.Â
The Casper High administration knew that because the family had been involved with the Disasteroid task force, the kids were approved for the time off ârecommendationâ made by the government. The next Monday both kids would be returning to school. For Danny, that meant it was time to accept the fact that he was going to tell Mr. Lancer his secret.
Although the plan had been to keep Dannyâs identity top secret, Maddie suggested that they at least tell Mr. Lancer. Not only was he the teacher that sent Danny to detention the most often, he was also the vice principal. As such, he had a big impact on Dannyâs grades. Getting him on their side would surely be a big help.
Jazz wasnât so sure about that, and Danny agreed. Lancer knowing wouldn't change the fact that he was still going to have to skip class to fight troublemaking ghosts all the time.Â
It was surprisingly Jack who reminded them that their parents were in fact ghost hunters. They could compare their information with Dannyâs and update their techniques to hunt ghosts correctly, especially the ones that appeared during school hours. Maddie added that it was okay to ask for help and sharing some of the work would help Danny learn to manage his time better in a way that would aid him not only in school, but in life as well.Â
After a lot of back and forth, in the end even Jazz saw it as a good solution. When Danny told Sam and Tucker, at first they were sceptical of the plan, just like he had been, however, with a bit of explaining, they understood why it was a good idea. They knew their friend needed better time management skills after all.Â
Now, the night before the first day of school, the Fenton family was once again sitting at their kitchen table planning something. It always seemed like the best time for these conversations was over dinner. Â
âSo, just to be clear,â Danny began his summary. âYou guys are going to drive us to school in the morning so you can meet with Lancer after first period âwhich I do have with him. And if anybody asks why youâre hanging around the school, youâre going to say that youâre tracking ghostly activity, right?â âYeah, thatâs the plan, son. Itâs that simple!â Jack replied confidently. âYou know, you two still need to say that you and âDannyâ have finally decided to work together.â Jazzâs air quotes around her brother's name let their parents know she was specifically referring to Danny Phantom. âWhat are you talking about Jazz? I think just about the whole world knows that...â Danny trailed off when it hit him that she meant Phantom, not Fenton.Â
âWell, technically, they know that we as a familyâand the rest of Amity Park, for that matterâworked with you, Little Brother. But Mom and Dad havenât exactly said anything official about a permanent truce, or anything else reallyâŚâ Jazz clarified. âI mean, the people that know, you know⌠they, well, they know thatâs not entirely true, but itâs also not a lie⌠I mean, they are working with their son...âÂ
âI see what you mean, darling, and youâre rightâŚâ Maddie rubbed her chin in thought. âWe could mention it at the school before we meet with Mr. Lancerâif anyone asks, that isâthat the Fentons are working permanently with the ghost boy. And once we explain your⌠situation to Mr. Lancer, well, he would understand why we were telling people now.âÂ
They hadnât thought about how it would look, working with Danny Phantom out of nowhere. They hadnât thought they needed to make some sort of announcement, but they did. In order to keep people from wondering why, in order to keep Dannyâs secret safe.  âYour Mom is right! That would also help to keep your secret, well, secret⌠wait...â said Jack, getting confused with the whole conversation. Danny sighed, âI guess, you guys are right⌠but please⌠donât overdo it⌠I can handle it, I have been handling all of it fine.â He was beginning to worry that if their parents allied themselves with him, they were going to be in danger, or something along those lines.Â
âDonât worry Little Brother, I have anticipated the most likely questions that people might ask after they hear that our parents are working with Phantom and written them down on these cue cards,â at this she pulled a small stack of cards out of thin air and handed them to their parents, âas well as some pre-planned answers. Stick to these and you wonât overdo it.â âOh, thatâs great, Jazzyâpants!â said Jack, with a big smile. His children never ceased to amaze him with their ingenuity. He was so proud. Â
âWeâll read over these, donât worry Jazz. And thank you,â Maddie added, smiling proudly as well. âOkay⌠I guess thatâs it then,â said Danny feeling a bit defeated. There was nothing he could really do to dissuade his parents. âYes, and now itâs getting late, so⌠kids, bedtime!â Maddie clapped her hands together with cheerful authority. The two teens nodded, said their respective âgoodnights,â and went upstairs.Â
Maddie could see that Danny was still nervous about tomorrow, and she didnât blame him. Since finding out the truth and helping with the cure for Dani, they had gained a better understanding of how difficult things had been for their son. None of it was easy, but now they had a better idea of what it meant to be a halfa. Although Danny and his parents had learned a lot more about him and what he could do, they also knew that just like Vlad, Danny would continue to grow and develop more powers. Powers that they now knew they were going to be prepared and ready to help him with. After all, they had already managed to isolate Dannyâs ghostly signature and alter their weapons so they wouldn't affect him, or Danielle for that matter. Now they only needed to wait for the weekend to finally find Dani.Â
While Maddie and Jack cleaned up from dinner, the kids met in Dannyâs room. Jazz knew her little brother well enough to realise he wasnât going to just tell someone that he was scared, even though he was. Not that Lancer wouldnât believe it, but of how he would react. For that reason, for the day that awaits him tomorrow, and the fact that the family had agreed to postpone finding Danielle for the weekend, and knowing that Danny probably wouldnât sleep well tonight, she went to her brotherâs room. There Danny confirmed Jazzâs suspicions, she gently coaxed him into talking out his worries and she did her best to reassure him. Jazz promised that her cue cards would work and that he should give Mr. Lancer more credit. Even though he doesnât always seem fair âshowing favouritism to the football players or occasionally turning a blind eye to Dashâs bullyingâ she knew that he had helped Danny with his grades, and cared about him as his student; being a half ghost wouldnât change that.Â
When Jack and Maddie finally went upstairs to get ready for bed, they overheard part of their childrenâs conversation. While Maddie was a bit upset with herself for not noticing just how nervous Danny was, she was grateful that Jazz had. Jack also noticed that some comfort was being passed around and he felt a surge of pride that his kids had become such kind and sensitive people.Â
When the next day arrived, the Fentons set their plan into motion. Jack and Maddie drove their kids to school, right on schedule, although their plans took a slight deviation after that. Rather than waiting in the parking lot with the excuse of ghost hunting, they ended up exchanging insurance information with some of the other parents. As usual, Jackâs driving was⌠enthusiastic. Sorting things out took them the whole first period, and by the time they got to Mr. Lancerâs office, Danny and Jazz were already there waiting for them.  Â
âGood morning Mr. and Mrs. Fenton,â Mr. Lancer greeted them. âSo glad you could join us.â âMorning!â Maddie and Jack replied at the same time, sharing a smile at the coincidence. âYou two said that you needed to discuss something with me, but Iâm still not entirely sure why these two,â at this Mr. Lancer gestured to where Jazz and Danny were sitting in front of his desk, âneed to be here. All Jasmine would tell me is that it's a family matter, and Daniel here seems to be on the edge of a nervous breakdown.âÂ
He looked back and forth between the kids and the parents appraisingly before closing the door to his office and offering them a seat. With the whole family finally seated in front of Mr. Lancer's desk, Maddie began the explanation, âWell, Jazz is right, this is a family affair. And itâs about Danny...â She checked on her son who seemed to be calming down now that his parents were here. âI see...â said Mr. Lancer, pausing at his desk. âIs this because the school year is about to finish and youâre worried about his grades?â He glanced suspiciously between Danny and his parents. It wouldn't be the first time heâd seen a family rally together to help save a struggling student from being held back a year.
âWhat? No!â Maddie spluttered. âWell, yes⌠we are worried about it, but thatâs not why weâre here today.â It wasnât hard to understand why heâd come to that conclusion. It was in part why they were having this conversation, after all. âPlease, Mr. Lancer, wait until after my parents finish. Then youâll understand what this is all about.â Jazz pleaded, hands clasped in front of her. âItâs all right, Jazz.â Danny murmured, giving her arm a calming squeeze before directing his gaze to his teacher âI kinda figured Lancer would bring that up⌠I mean⌠this whole year has been...â âUnprecedented, nightmarish, messy, crazy, ect., ect.?â Mr. Lancer supplied with a raised eyebrow, finally taking a seat at his desk. He seemed like he just caught up with the fact that he was still standing up unnecessarily.
âYeah. All that. And ghostlyâŚâ Danny muttered the last part under his breath, avoiding eye contact with Lancer.
Maddie cleared her throat softly, âMr. Lancer, if I may⌠please?â She had noticed that Danny was starting to feel bad and decided it was time to intervene. His grades were as important to him as fighting ghosts, even though it might not look like that from the outside. âYes, of course, Mrs. Fenton. By all means, please tell me what this is all about.â Mr. Lancer had also noticed Dannyâs change in attitude and decided to focus more on the parents, mainly on Maddie seeing as she was the one taking the lead. Jack sat next to her in silent support, but his worry for Danny was plain to see. âWell...â Maddie began, glancing back at Danny who nodded.Â
Mr. Lancer took notice of the exchange and was about to comment when Maddie finally spoke, interrupting his thoughts.Â
âDanny is âDanny Phantom.ââ she said. âWhat?â Mr. Lancer spluttered, caught off guard. âWhat in the name of the Scarlet Pimpernel! That doesnât make any sense⌠Whatâs really going on here? I would have believed something like this from young DanielâŚâ he stopped, noticing that Maddie seemed to sincerely believe what she was saying.Â
âDanny,â the boy murmured under his breath. He was a bit annoyed that Mr. Lancer still called him âDaniel,â even in moments like this. Especially in moments like this. âItâs Danny.â
Mr. Lancer looked back and forth between Maddie and her son. He began to worry that something else might be happening, something that the family either doesnât know about, or doesnât know how to explain. Because although his student being a ghostly superhero would explain a lot, it was impossible. Wasnât it?Â
âJust show him,â Jazz suggested in a loud whisper. She knew that Mr. Lancer would believe him if only he saw it for himself. Knowledge of halfas was global now, so it wouldnât be hard to make the connection. If they just told him without showing him, he might just think Danny was faking it, using Vladâs revelation as inspiration. Danny looked up at his parents who gave him an encouraging nod. â...Fine.â He sounded a bit annoyed to be put in this situation, but proceeded to stand up anyway.
âWhat are you doiââ Mr. Lancer began to ask. He was getting worried as to why it seemed like everyone knew something he didnât, because show him what? âGoing ghost,â Danny quietly said his catchphrase, transforming into Danny Phantom in a bright flash of light. Mr. Lancer blinked the spots from his eyes, using the silence that followed to process his thoughts. It would seem that their former Mayor wasnât the only halfa in Amity Park. He had anticipated a few of the more creative kids would probably play pretend at being a ghost and a human at the same time, but never in his wildest dreams could he have anticipated one of his students actually being one.Â
A single, quiet, âOhâ was all the stunned teacher managed to say. âAre, are you okay, Mr. Lancer?â Danny prompted, changing back into Fenton and retaking his seat. Maybe that had been a bit too much for him after all.
âYou know what Mr. Fenton, that makes a lot of sense...â Mr. Lancer finally said, looking across his desk at Danny. He gave the boy a small, sad, smile, because it did make a lot of sense. âWait, what?â Danny said, confused. He hadnât really been expecting that reaction, even though he had assumed that Vladâs precedent might either help or hurt his situation.
âWell, it does⌠The skipping school every time thereâs a ghost attack, the slacking on your homework, the sleeping in class⌠All starting around the same time as the ghosts showed up, it makes perfect sense. Iâm assuming your whole family knows, and I hope that your parents didnât know until recently...â Mr. Lancer gave Jack and Maddie a stern look. Just thinking about the hundreds, if not thousands, of times that he saw the Fentons hunting Phantom⌠it couldnât be possible, right?Â
âOf course, we didnât!â said Maddie quickly. Neither she or Jack wanted this to be like their interrogation with the FBI, they didnât want to have to defend themselves again. They love their kids, and would do anything to protect them. If they had known it all from the beginning, maybe the thing they needed protection from wouldnât have been them. Unfortunately, that wasnât the case. The possibility of losing their kids to child services like the FBI threatened them with at the start had been a rude awakening. âWe would never have knowingly hunted our son,â said Jack, the normally jovial man deathly serious. He felt the same as Maddie, remembering how bad the interview with the Feds was, especially at the beginning. âOh, for the love of⌠you know what, never mind.â Mr. Lancer shook his head defeatedly. âIâm not going to think about it. I am assuming that isnât all?âÂ
âYouâre right about that,â Maddie sighed, her face serious. âDo you remember when the FBI interviewed our family and practically everyone around us?â She knew she had to say something about it regardless, he would need to understand the conditions that he was bound by now.Â
Mr. Lancer nodded, allowing her to continue her explanation.Â
âWell, they know. About Danny... Mr. Lancer, this is highly classified information weâve just shared with you.â Her eyes pierced his, impressing on him the gravity of the situation. âThey said we should keep it secret, only those who already knew and no one else.â âOh. I seeâŚâ Mr. Lancerâs voice was solemn with understanding. The situation was more serious than what he had originally thought. âSo, your friends, Samantha and Tucker...â he raised a questioning brow at Danny. âThey know. Theyâve known since the beginning, actually.â Danny said with a small shrug. âOh, and Valerie knows⌠Valerie Gray. She found out while we were working on the intangibility transfer device. Well, while her father was working on it, but you know...â he shrugged again. Â
âI seeâŚâ Mr. Lancer nodded. âI understand.â His hunch had been correct, Dannyâs friends had been covering for him in class for a while now, and he finally knew why. The mention of Miss Gray was a bit of a surprise, but it made sense if something had happened to reveal Dannyâs identity while she and her father had been working on the device. That also meant that the other people who already know are those who were involved with the task force in Antarctica.Â
âWith all that being said, Mr. Lancer,â Maddie called his attention back to her, âwhile weâre here, we would like your help with Dannyâs schedule. Iâm sure youâve noticed that his time management skills could use some improvement.â
âI can agree with that,â Mr. Lancer said, giving Danny a faux stern look.
At this, Jack chimed in, âNow that we know whatâs going on, we can help fight the ghosts that appear during school hours. Weâll probably still need to pull him into the field some, though, especially while weâre still getting used to things.â
âVery well, the three of us can continue to discuss a plan, but,â Mr. Lancer glanced up at the clock on the wall, âI think itâs time for Jazz and Danny to go back to class.âÂ
He began to pull some papers out of a drawer in his desk while the Fentons stood up from their chairs. âAll right then, I guess we should get goingâŚâ Danny said, stretching his arms above his head. He was feeling very relieved that Mr. Lancer was taking it so well and seemed eager to help. He couldnât stop his smile as he addressed his teacher, âThank you, Mr. Lancer.â âWhy, whatever for?â he asked with a smile. Mr. Lancer wasnât exactly sure as to why Danny suddenly seemed more relaxed, but he couldnât be more proud. He knew that a topic like this one must be hard for the whole family, especially Danny. âNever mind, just⌠Thank you.â he was still smiling as he slung his backpack over his shoulder.Â
âOf course,â said Mr. Lancer. He handed Danny and Jazz the papers he had just signed, âOh, donât forget these, your hall passes. Just give them to your teachers and your tardiness will be excused. And if thereâs anything else I can do⌠just let me know.â âOh, right⌠Um, thank you,â Danny stuttered out, caught off guard by the kind offer.Â
Maddie, Jack, and Jazz watched the scene unfold, the three unable to keep the grins off their faces, they knew that all Danny needed was a little understanding and guidance. The three of them exchanged a glance, silently agreeing to each help him in their own ways.Â
âLetâs go, Little Brother,â Jazz looped her arm through Dannyâs and pulled him towards the door, making sure they both had their hall passes. âAnd thanks again, Mr. Lancer! For everything! Bye, Mom! Bye, Dad!â
âBye, Sweety!â Maddie called back, âWeâll see you at home later!â
Jack waved, voice booming as he called out, âBye, kiddos!âÂ
After the kids had gone, the three adults returned to their seats, they had planning to do, after all. Once sitting, Mr. Lancer pulled out a notebook and together they started brainstorming different ways to help Danny, both with school matters as well as ghost fighting activitiesâbecause they all knew he wasnât going to stop anytime soon. They began with an easy schedule that could help Danny better make use of his time. At one point, Lancer proposed to let some of the other teachers know about Dannyâs secret, but the Fentons reminded him that the information was highly classified. Itâs not the sort of thing you can just go around telling people. They had to fill out so much paperwork with the FBI in order to get approval to tell just him. Thatâs how Mr. Lancer knew that the issue was very serious. He asked how the FBI was keeping it a secret, but all the Fentons could say was that it was classified, and no, they didnât know either.Â
They had been at it for quite a long time when they heard the unmistakable sounds of a fight in the hallway. Mr. Lancer rushed to the door, the Fentons hot on his heels, thankfully, because this wasnât your average school fight, this was a ghost fight. The three adults arrived at the scene just in time to see none other than Danny Phantom flung into a row of lockers. Â
Jack and Maddie decided that it was about time they joined in the hunting, that was a big part of their plan, after all. They really needed to be more alert to ghost activity during school hours so Danny could concentrate more in class. Class that Danny certainly wasnât present for right now, for obvious reasons.Â
While his parents had stayed to talk with Mr. Lancer, Danny had made his way to his next class. Everything was going well, that is until Dannyâs ghost sense went off. He had run out of the classroom, calling a lame excuse to his teacher on the way.
Danny found the ghost in the computer lab, it was none other than Technus. Danny had lost count of which âversionâ he was supposed to be at this point, and he didnât really care. Danny only knew that he was up to no good.
Every time Danny fought Technus, he boasted that his plan was better than the last and that he wouldnât be shouting it out, and each time he failed. This time wasnât any different. They started in the computer lab, but Danny managed to lure the ghost outside, away from all the technology in the building, only denting a few lockers on the way. Once they were on the lawn, Danny was able to create a distraction and it was in that moment that his parents attacked Technus, weakening him enough that Danny could capture him in the Fenton Thermos.Â
While the Fentons joined the fight, ecto-guns blazing, it was time for Mr. Lancer to play his part. Danny had probably used an oldie, but a goodie: the Toilet Excuse to get out of class, but it wouldnât be enough for how long this fight was going to take. He knew which teacher Danny had this period, so he just needed to find a place near that classroom to wait for him and walk him personally back to class. Perhaps he could say that heâd needed the boyâs help carrying some extra textbooks or something. Danny would likely need a place to transform backâsomething that it would take Mr. Lancer a bit of time to get used toâbut he did manage to find a good spot for that.Â
Once their battle was over, Danny handed the thermos to his parents so they could put Technus back in the Ghost Zone. In turn, his parents gave Danny encouraging nods and proud smiles. It was nice to be appreciated, but Danny really needed to get back to class. He was surprised to find Mr. Lancer waiting for him just inside the school to walk Danny back to his class, fake thanking him for helping with something in his office. When they reached the classroom, Lancer mentioned to Dannyâs teacher that he had found Danny just outside the bathroom, and remembered something that he needed help with and Danny was perfect for the job. That explanation to Dannyâs teacher was enough to avoid detention again, but it gained him snickers from his classmates. While being the butt of a joke wasnât ideal, it was a whole lot better than detention. This whole situation might just work out after all. Â
Danny took a seat at his desk and decided to concentrate as much as possible on todayâs lesson. Sam and Valerie tried to ask what happened, but Danny only gave them a quick thumbs up and a smile to let them know it went well. He would give them a more detailed explanation after class or during their lunch break. It was times like these that they really missed Tucker, but they knew that with him being the mayor, private tutoring was the best option for him.Â
At least for the rest of the day Danny wouldnât need to worry about getting detention or fighting ghosts. He knew that his parents were going to be patrolling around the school, Lancer had his back at school, and the ghost of the day-or at least for the time being- was trapped in the Fenton Thermos. He could just relax with his girlfriend and Valerie, and he would get to do a video call with Tucker during the lunch break.Â
Things were looking good, after all this time, even though it had been a lot of new things to get used to. Danny never thought âeven when he had seen it beforeâ that it would feel so good telling people his secret. Of course, he wasnât just going to go around telling people left and right, it had to be to select people. Letting Mr. Lancer into the fold had been more strategy than anything else, but it was still nice to have him on the team.Â
The day ended without further incident. Team Phantom enjoyed talking with their mayor friend during lunch. They caught him up with the situation at the school and told him how Lancer had reacted to the news. Tucker, likewise, updated them with the news of his personal proposal.Â
Because the last mayor had been a crazy halfa, and his teenage ghost hunters were fired and dismissed, the whole town had been under siege by ghost attacks. Something needed to be done, and it was going to take a lot of work for the city to recover. Tucker, as the mayor selected after a major disaster like this, would have to step up to the plate. It would be a full time job, with no time to go to school. So, the rest of the politicians and personnel of the city council decided that the best course of action was that he should have private tutors, since he hadn't graduated from high school just yet. Tucker, since winning the election and realising, or rather learning, that he wouldnât be able to go to Casper high any longer, began working on a proposal. It was as follows: he would serve as mayor until the next election, at which point he would leave his position until later in life, should he wish to run for re-election. With his parents' help, Tucker had proposed his return to Casper high in the next school year to the city council. They had approved it, but in the meantime, Tucker had to pass his classes and learn more about politics, especially those of Amity Park. He was allowed to communicate with his old friends only during breaks, however his private tutors made sure that his schedule was similar to what he was used to. Those tutors also knew about his friends and about Dannyâs secret identity, but they wouldn't say a word, not only because they got a âfriendlyâ warning from the FBI, but because they had always considered him a hero, even before he had become recognized as both a local and global hero by everyone else.Â
Danny Fenton was happy with how everything seemed to be working out. His parents and Mr. Lancer had come up with a good plan to help him out during school hours. They helped him to create a better way to manage his time after school that not only would allow him to keep fighting ghosts when needed, but to also just be a teen. He would have time to take care of his responsibilities, homework and chores and the like, as well as to have fun with his friends. Danny never thought that all he needed was a little help with time management. His grades were already improving, and with the rest of the school year to go, he knew he would pass his classes.
Just like that, the time flew by and the week turned into the weekend. It was finally time to look for Danielle. To be continued :D :D
