"Are you sure?" An Observant asked.

"Yes, he will become the new King of the Ghost Zone." Clockwork replied.

"What about...him?" Another Observant asked pointed at the thermos.

"He is going to be no threat. Even if he was, the boy beat him once he can do it again."

"Alright Clockwork," the first Observant said. "But you have to bring him here for the coronation."

"Alright." Clockwork said as the Observants left.

"He is not going to leave that town." A voice said.

"He will, if you fill in." Clockwork said. Clockwork walked through the portal as the ghost followed closely.

"So what do you want to do for our anniversary?" Sam said.

"Well I was going to take you to a movie, and maybe dinner later." Danny said as a blue wisp left his mouth. "Ugh, we will do that after I fight this ghost." Danny transformed into his ghost half and flew into the air. "Where are you?" Danny asked.

"Hello Daniel."

"Clockwork? What are you doing here?" Danny asked.

"I needed to tell you that you are the King of the Ghost Zone."

"King of the Ghost Zone!"

"Yes, and you need to be coronated right away."

"Ok, but..."

"What about Amity Park and Sam?Don't worry, I have someone that will fill in for you."

"Who?"

"A friend, now let's go." Clockwork said as he took Danny to the Zone.

Once they left 'Danny' flew down to Danny's room to talk to Sam.

"So which ghost was it?" Sam asked.

"Uh...it was just the Box Ghost." 'Danny' said.

"Ah, so what movie are we going to see?" Sam asked.

"Movie?"

"Yeah, remember said said dinner and a movie."

"Oh, well we might need to make different plans." 'Danny' said.

"Why?"

"Because I said so."

"Ok, ok don't let the Box Ghost get you in a grumpy mood." Sam said leaning in for a kiss.

"Uh... That is not such a great idea." 'Danny' said.

"Why not?"

"Because...well...I...ugh, I'm not Danny."

"What do you mean you're not Danny?" Sam asked angrily. "Amorpho is that you?"

"No, it's worse..."

A pair of blue rings appeared at 'Danny's' waist and once they disappeared the fifteen year old boy was transformed into the twenty four year old Dan Phantom.

Sam jumped back reaching for her Fenton Peeler. "W-what are YOU doing here?! WHERE IS MY DANNY?!"

Dan said with hands raised in surrender. "Relax, relax I'm not here to hurt you...yet."

"WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU?!" Sam yelled.

"Because Clockwork said that if I lay a finger on you then he will erase me from existence, and trust me. I don't want to see if he is bluffing." Dan said. "Plus if I wanted to hurt you, why would I go through the trouble of transforming into my past self, stop you from kissing me then reveal my true identity?"

"Ok, well why are you here. Why did Clockwork let you out?" Sam asked "And where is Danny?"

"Danny is getting coronated as the King of the Ghost Zone and Clockwork told me to fill in for him if ghosts attack."

"Why didn't Danny tell me?" Sam asked.

"He didn't have a choice." Dan replied.

"Oh..."

A long pause filled the air accompanied by glances made by Sam to Dan.

"What?" Dan asked.

"Why did you kill him?"

"What do you mean?"

"Danny's human half, in your timeline. Why did you kill him?" Sam asked.

"How did you..."

"Your Vlad told Danny that you killed your human half."

"He wanted me to." Dan said. "Once Phantom was ripped from him and merged with Plasmius to make me Fenton knew he truly had nothing. He didn't have you, Tuck, Jazz, or his own parents. Then he didn't have me, the last thing that made him feel complete. He begged me. He wanted to see you again. The old Fruit Loop was unconscious after he fainted from my painful uh, transformation to the monster I am today, he didn't see Danny beg me to kill him. When he came to I killed him. Why do you think Danny was killed and not Vlad."

"I never thought of it... But why did you do all of those bad things afterwards?"

"I was so sick that the world would never accept me for who I was,"

"But they did!" Sam stated.

"No they didn't, Clockwork showed me what happened at the Dumpty Humpty concert. The Guys in White wanted to do experiments on me! The only reason they accept him now is because he did something for them, they will alway expect something from him." Dan said raising his voice.

"Them?"

"Humans." Dan said with disgust.

"Ok, that explains why you hurt humans, what about the ghosts?" Sam asked.

"Hehe," Dan chuckled. "After I killed Danny I flew in the Zone and dated Kitty behind Johnny's back. Once he found out he tried to kill himself. Skulker and Technus tried to stop him but Shadow attacked him so bad that in order to survive they had to become one ghost. Johnny failed and it left him paralyzed ever since. Then after that the Lunch Lady and I hooked up and then I left after the baby was born."

"Box Lunch, I thought that was the child of the Lunch Lady and Box Ghost."

"No, but the kid doesn't know that I'm her father but the Box Ghost does and that's why he hates me. Then finally I dated Ember, and that lasted a while but it didn't work out. That's truly why she gained the weight, not me destroying her vocal cords."

"So you couldn't keep a steady relationship." Sam stated.

"Yep, so... Anything else?"

"One more thing. Why did you try to kill your family a second time?"

"I didn't want Danny to go through the heart break. When his parents didn't accept him, when the world didn't accept him."

"But his...uh, your parents did!"

"Jazz didn't." Dan said.

"Yes she did."

"No she didn't Sam! When I went to the past the first time she wasn't happy."

"Because you weren't using your powers the way you should." Sam said.

"See! What did I say! Humans just want me, and Danny to do what is socially acceptable for them. When he doesn't then they won't accept him!"

"It's not that they wouldn't accept him they would be disappointed with him though." Sam said.

"Maybe you're right..." Dan said looking at the floor.

Sam leaned toward him and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"Why did you do that? I am not your boyfriend and you were about to kill me a few minutes ago." Dan asked.

"Well I realized that for about eleven years you have not felt one ounce of true love. That is the true reason why you do the things you did. And as for the boyfriend thing, there is still some Danny Phantom deep down inside of you."

"Thanks Sam." Dan said kissing Sam on the forehead.

There was a big flash of light and Dan felt like there was some heavy weight lifted from him.

"Hey, stop kissing my girlfriend!" Danny said to Dan. Dan turned around and saw Danny standing in front of a tall beautiful twenty four year old woman with short black hair and purple eyes. "And kiss yours instead." Danny finished.

"Sam?" Dan asked. The girl nodded and he said. "But she isn't in my time?"

"She is now." Danny said.

"What do you mean?"

"Dan, transform." The older Sam said. Dan complied and turned into an older, human, Danny Fenton.

"But...How?" Dan asked.

"Clockwork stopped the Nasty Burger incident in your timeline and you never turned into Phantom and Plasmius." Danny said.

"Is that why I feel so...free?"

"Yes," the older Sam said. "Now if you please, let's go to our time."

Dan smiled walked over to the older Sam and they kissed.

"Oh, get a room!" Danny said.

"Yeah, that is disgusting!" Sam added.

"Oh like you two won't do the same when leave!" The older Sam said.

Dan chuckled and said. "Come on Sam, let's go home." The two walked through the portal Danny made to their time and they left.

"Danny, are you mad that I kissed Dan?" Sam asked.

"No, how can I be mad that you kissed me?" Danny said.

Clockwork and two Observants looked at the couple through Clockwork's Time Frames.

"You cheated and lied to us about the boy becoming the new King!" An Observant said.

"True I did but it was for the grater good. Danny will not become the evil full ghost that would eventually rule the Ghost Zone. He will become the kindhearted King that the Ghost Zone needs. Isn't that what you want?"

The Observants looked at each other and one said. "Do that one more time then we will take your powers of time away!"
