Line break

Maddie chased the young ghost boy through the ghost zone.

Desperately Danny Phantom tried zooming away from the specter speeder, unfortunately it picked up on him as a real world item and kept on him.

After a minute Danny flew through a large door.

Maddie jumped out of the speeder and ran through the door.

She held her gun and pointed it at the panting ghost boy.

Suddenly the lights went out and everything became black except Phantom's glowing form.

Then both gasped as a glowing ghost girl appeared between them.

She looked carefully at Maddie "apparently you believe you are different" she said thoughtfully.

Maddie growled "of course, all he is, is a ghost with no emotion, just a blob of post human consciousness" she growled.

The ghost girl shook her head "I think not, and probably the only way to show you that is not true is to show you his fears" she said slowly.

Danny's eyes widened "please no, if I have to see them I couldn't survive it, those are fears meant to be seen and lived once" he said in a fearful tone.

The girl laughed "perhaps so, but it will save ghosts from the ghost hunters, so good luck Phantom, and Maddie, you might want to comfort him in a few of those fears, heavens knows he is really going to need it" she said casually.

Then she vanished and Maddie slowly walked over to the boy who was rocking on the balls of his feet looking around nervously "Phantom, are you all right" she asked.

Phantom shook his head.

Suddenly the room brightened up and they were standing outside of the Nasty Burger.

Phantom collapsed to his knees "no" he whispered.

All three Fenton's, Sam, Tucker, and Lancer were tied to a container of heated Nasty Sauce.

Maddie sat by the ghost boy in puzzlement and touched his hand in comfort. "what makes you think you can get rid of me" a voice spoke up.

Maddie took a startled look while Phantom paled and shook his head.

Above them was Danny Phantom and a darker older looking Danny Phantom.

Dream Danny looked at his family and friends "I promised my family" he shouted.

Maddie gasped and shot a look towards the captured people.

She turned a startled look at Phantom's pale face "oh you promised" dark dream Danny taunted.

Dream Danny clenched his fists "yes I PROMISED" he shouted, finishing it off with a ghostly wail.

Dark Danny slammed into a building "that…power…I don't get that power…till…ten years from now" he gasped.

Phantom drew himself to full height and Maddie looked at the real Phantom curiously because he was shaking his head "no this can't be happening, stupid ghost, this has to be a nightmare, no" he muttered.

Maddie turned her attention back to the fight "well the future isn't as set in stone as you think it is" he said bravely.

Then Phantom unleashed another wail that caused him to slowly fade to Danny Fenton.

Maddie gasped and looked at the very pale and nervous Phantom besides her as dream Danny sucked his evil self into a thermos.

Then all three turned towards the container.

Dream Danny ran towards it and the real Danny got up and started running towards it as well.

Maddie jumped up and grabbed his hand "noooooo" both Danny's yelled as the Nasty Burger exploded.

The scene suddenly froze and changed to black and Maddie looked at the frightened boy who's hand was still reached out.

Maddie slowly drew him into a hug "oh Danny" she whispered.
