Ok well this is my first story here on fanfic so I really hope you guys like it. Oh and you won't understand most of the flashbacks or know any other OC that isn't mine if you haven't read Checkmate by Pearl84 so I really suggest that you read it ,besides it's really a good story.

And just to be clear this story takes place after Phantom Planet, its way into the future, Sam and Danny are married and have three kids: Lilith, Danny, and Danielle. Danielle is half ghost because she inherited some of Danny's genes. Lilith and Danny jr. are human. Tucker is married to Valerie and has a kid named TJ, or Tucker Jr. He and little Danny are best friends and go to Casper High with Lilith. Lilith is 16 years old, Danny is 14, and Danielle is 12. Older Danny is 34, and so is Sam.

Ok I think I've talked enough, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or some OC's in this story, Pearl84 owns some, but the rest are mine.

Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End

"Danny! Would it kill you to put your stuff away for once?" Lilith screamed as Danny came into the living room through the kitchen.

"Probably, he-he. Oh come on Lilith I had a hard day at school, Lancer gave us five pages of homework." Danny said, briefly glancing at his backpack.

"Danny listen to your sister, I trip over your backpack everyday you really should put your stuff in your room "Sam said as she walked into the living room.

"See? I told you." Lilith said while giving Danny a smug look.

"Whatever, Lilith." Danny said, rolling his eyes in annoyance. It's like she just tries to annoy him.

"CRASH!"

"What in the world?" Sam said as she looked in the direction of the lab.

"It's probably Danielle and dad training in the lab again." Danny said with a bored expression.

"I wonder what they broke this time." Lilith said looking very annoyed remembering that last week; her poor cell phone had been accidently used as target practice.

"I have no idea, but I 'm about to find out." Sam said as she walked in the direction of the lab.

"Ok sweetie, let's try this one more time. Aim at the target, don't move, and fire!" A much older and more mature Danny told his daughter just as Danielle fired at the target, missing by a few inches.

"I can't do it daddy!" Danielle said as she slouched on the ground, exhausted from training for over an hour.

"Nonsense Danielle, just watch me okay?" Then Danny fired and ectoplasmic energy blast at the target, instantly shattering it to pieces. "See?"

"No fair! You've had those powers for 20 years dad! I've only had them for twelve, and have only been training them for 1!"

"Just try it one more time and then we won't train until tomorrow ok?"

"Fine" Danielle grumbled

"Aim, don't move, and fire!"

Danielle fired another blast at the target, and this time she made a hole right through it! Danielle gasped as she screamed, "DADDY, I DID IT!"

"I told you that you could do it Danielle!"Danny beamed as he went over to inspect the target.

"I want to do that again!" Danielle exclaimed, but because she was so excited and wasn't focused, she accidentally hit a lab table, instantly splitting it in two.

"Uh, oh," Danielle said as she saw all of the beakers and test tubes fall to the ground and shatter into tiny pieces.

" Danielle, your mother won't be happy to see this."

"Oh! What if I turn it invisible?"

"Ok, but do it quick because I think they're coming!" Danny said as he watched the shadows of his wife and kids at the stairs.

"Ok daddy!" Danielle said, already invisible along with the broken table and beakers.

"What in the world is going on in here?" Sam said as she searched the room for whatever could have made the loud noise.

"Oh, Danielle and I training" Danny said nervously

"Danielle turn visible or you're grounded!"

"Ok mommy!" Danielle said as she quickly turned visible.

"Good girl I won't punish you." Then Sam's gaze went to Danny as she looked at him with a mischievous smile."As for your father..."

"TJ! Hurry up! We're going to be late!" Danny yelled at Tucker jr., or TJ, his best friend.

"But it's so shiny and NEW! Aahh!" TJ yelled as Danny –the young one- pulled him by his shirt and dragged him towards Casper high.

"I'm serious TJ; the more I hear of how your dad was when he was our age, the more I think, wait no, the more I KNOW you act just like him."Danny said just as TJ glared playfully at him.

"Oh yeah Danny Fenton I'M like MY dad. You have your dad's name AND you look just like him when he was our age."

"You look like your dad too; you're even wearing the same red beret."

"My dad said all the ladies were after him because he was wearing this."

"My dad said your dad went to the dance with a ghost once."

"No, my dad said that he went with your mom, but your dad wanted to dance with her. But they left the portal open and that ghost got out and found my dad. But he said she was pretty hot though."

"Ha-ha are you serious dude? She was a ghost!"

"So?"

"Well I think you and your dad are craz- Whoa!" Danny gasped as he bumped into a girl in the hall.

"Oh I'm sorr- Whoa." Danny said as he observed the girls appearance.

"It's ok, it was an accident," The girl said, while she blushed noticeably."I'm Clare by the way; I just moved here from California, I'm new to Casper high."

"Well then, let me be the first to welcome you to Casper high, I'm Danny and this is TJ." Danny said pointing at TJ in the end.

"Actually, Danny, you're the second person to welcome me to Casper high; Mr. Lancer was the first."

"Aww! Ha-ha."

"Well, I'd better head to class. It was nice meeting you both. Bye!"

"Wait Clare! Do you want to hang out with us, you know, at lunch?"

"Hmmm, ok Danny. I'll see you both at lunch, ok?"

"Alright see you later Clare!" Danny shouted as she headed towards class.

"Smooth." TJ said sarcastically.

"Hey! At least I said something!" Danny said as he opened his locker to get his books for his next class.

"Well, I guess I can't really blame you; she's pretty hot."

"Ha-ha yeah she is, but I saw her first," Danny said as he walked over to Mr. Lancer's class. Did he even want a girlfriend now? He had enough on his mind with school and chores and homework? Could he handle having a girlfriend now?

"Uh, dude?"

"Huh? What?" Danny said, blinking a few times as he came out of his thoughts.

"You kind of spaced out for a minute there," Tucker rolled his eyes. He was probably thinking of that new girl, uh what was her name? Clare? Oh whatever, he always obsesses over every girl that looks his way.

"Oh sorry, dude. I was just thinking tha-"

"Mr. Fenton! Would you be kind enough to sit down and LET ME START MY CLASS?" Mr. Lancer yelled angrily at Danny, who was still standing."Honestly, you seem more like your father every day." Mr. Lancer then rubbed his head and headed over to his desk. "The only thing missing is the ghost powers." He said mostly to himself

However, Danny was close enough to hear the comment and instantly frowned. Funny, that was the one thing he wished he had. Danny sat down and distractedly took out some papers from his backpack.

"Ok now students open your textbooks to page 9- WAR OF THE WORLDS!" Mr. Lancer yelled as the temperature suddenly dropped several degrees.

"Hit the deck kids!" Danny Phantom yelled as he phased through the wall and wrestled Skulker to the ground.

"Daddy hold on I'll help you!" Danielle told her dad as she phased into the room. "Take this Skulker!" Danielle yelled as she blasted Skulker with an ecto-blast.

"Skulker, please try to stay in the Ghost Zone this time." Danny said as he uncapped the thermos.

"Never, whelp! As I told you several times in the past, I will never stop hunting you!" Skulker yelled as he was sucked inside the Fenton thermos.

"Yeah, and yet you've been saying that to me since I was 14, and I'm 34 now so, I'd say that it's very unlikely that you'll ever end up mounting my head on your mantel, or skinning me and keeping my pelt, or doing all those other things you've threatened to do to me in the past." Danny said with a smug look on his face. Seriously, does this guy ever give up? It's been 20 years! But what could he expect from an obsessive ghost.

Everyone started cheering for Danielle and Danny Phantom as he capped the thermos in his hand. Everyone, except for one boy; 14 year old Danny, who rolled his eyes in annoyance. His dad and little sister just loved to show off their powers to everyone they came in contact with. It really bugged him the way his little sister got to have ghost powers and more attention from his dad than he did. Most kids his age were playing sports with their dads on weekends and got advice from their dads, but his dad trained with Danielle on the weekends and worked or was too busy to give him girl advice, so he gets it from TJ.

"Thank you Mr. Fenton, you and your daughter certainly come in handy in Amity Park, even more than you did when you were Daniel's age," Mr. Lancer said, pointing at Danny in the end. Danny rolled his eyes at hearing his comment, and just stared down at his papers in annoyance.

At seeing his son react this way, Danny sighed and told his daughter, "Come on Danielle, we have to get you back to school," gently pushing her toward the exit.

"Ok daddy! Let's go!" Danielle said excitedly as she flew towards the ceiling.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Danny yelled as his daughter phased out of the ceiling, giggling. His daughter was probably going to try and sneak up on him so…

Danielle was waiting for her father to phase out of the school, when all of a sudden she felt two hands grab her around her waist.

"Aahh! Aunt Danni! What are you doing here?" Danielle hugged her aunt tightly.

"What? I can't see my favorite half-ghost niece. Where's your father?" Danni asked, looking around for her cousin.

"He's inside the school." Danielle said, glancing down at the roof below her.

"Hmm… knowing your father, he's probably going to teleport behind you in a few seconds so you want to play a little trick on him?" Danni said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"Ok! What did you have in mind?" Danielle said, with the same look on her face as her aunt.

"Well…"

Danny suddenly teleported above the school, but frowned when he didn't see his daughter. "Now where did she go? Oh, duh! Ghost sense!" Danny closed his eyes and concentrated on his daughter's ghost signature. He immediately felt it, but he also felt a similar one right behind him. Suddenly, he split himself in two and turned himself invisible. He caught his daughter and the second ghost. "Danni? What are you doing here?"

"Oh my gosh! Is it so hard to believe that I would visit you guys? I wanted to see how my little niece was doing with her ghost powers." She added when she got an expectant look from Danny.

"Oh, well she's doing great! Yesterday she learned how to aim. And she broke the lab table, and got me in trouble with Sam.

"I'll tell you at the house what she did to me, but right now we need to get Danielle back to school."

"Aww dad! Do I ha-"

"Yes you do Danielle. Now come on, let's go." Danny said with a reprimanding voice.

"Fine," Danielle said with a sigh "but only if you can catch me!" Danielle gasped as her dad teleported right in front of her, making her crash into him.

"There, I caught you now let's go."

"Can't you just teleport us to my school?"

"Alright but brace yourself, come on Danni."

"Ok." Danni said, then they all teleported.

Clare headed towards the gym from the locker room, Danny never leaving her thoughts. He was sort of cute. And if she didn't know any better she'd say he was flirting with her. But she did know better, and she knows she can't fall for him. She wasn't shallow, but she knew her "father" would never let her be with him. She glared at nothing in particular as the thought of her "father" came into her mind.

"Hey!"

Clare blinked as she was ripped away from her thoughts. "Are you talking to me?"

The girl who was talking to Clare laughed and rolled her eyes "You're the only wannabe here, with your red hair, and pretend figure. Oh and don't get me started on those." She pointed at her chest in the end.

"What about them?" Clare said with annoyance in her voice.

"Well it's obvious they're fake." The blond girl laughed and then her demeanor abruptly changed to a threatening one."Stay away from Danny Fenton, he's mine."

"Excuse me? Are you threatening me?" Clare said with anger in her eyes and voice."What? You don't like competition Blondie?" She said with an amused smile, but the anger still deep in her eyes.

"You? Competition? Hardly!" She grew angrier at the girl. How dare she talk to her this way! She was the most popular girl in school!

"Well then, I suggest you apologize to me and leave me alone!" Clare said with a menacing tone of voice. She wasn't about to let some… human boss her around.

"Are you going to make me?" She said with a furious glare.

"Yes." …

Sam, Danny, and Danni were talking in the living room.

"Oh my gosh! Sam! Why would you do that to him? That's torture to a guy!" Danni said with and amused smirk.

"Its torture for some guys, but others actually enjoy shopping for clothes with their wives. Sadly, I'm not one of them." Danny said, slight bitterness in his voice.

"Well you deserved it, for telling Danielle to turn the lab table and broken beakers invisible," Sam said, not being able to hide the amusement in her voice.

"Yeah, but I guess it wasn't all that bad," Danny said, looking at his wife in a loving way.

"It wasn't?" Sam said, raising an eyebrow in curiosity.

"No, because I got to spend it with the woman of my dreams and the love of my life… you." Danny kissed Sam passionately for a while. Danni just stared at them in disgust and amusement. She would have to get back at them later for making her nauseous. She could just bring Edward, her boyfriend, and make-out with him, but first she needed to get her cousin and his wife to stop kissing before she threw up.

She swallowed hard, "G-Guys? Come on guys, please stop you're grossing me out!" She started to gag when she saw them kissing even more passionately."Alright I'm outta' here!" Danni instantly teleported back into the ghost zone.

"Well, now that we've completely grossed out and/or annoyed my cousin, you wanna go upstairs and have a little fun?" Danny said grinning mischievously.

"Ok, Danny," She then ran upstairs and shouted, "but you have to catch me first!"

"She's starting to sound a lot like Danielle." He said with a roll of his eyes, before going after his wife.

Danny and TJ were outside buy the lunch tables waiting for Clare. Both were silent as their minds were on the new girl; Clare Plasmian. Both were thinking about being more than friends with her. Though, Danny still wasn't so sure he wanted a girlfriend, but there was something different about her. She was just so … beautiful and down to earth. She was really nice and strangely… a lot like his mom in many ways. She was cool, nice, and seemed to be a great girl, Except for the fact she got sort of nervous sometimes. Well, that didn't really surprise him, most girls got like that around him. A smug smile appeared on his face.

TJ on the other hand was thinking about how he would win Clare's heart. He could always win her over with his charm, but he didn't want to feel like he was taking her from his best friend. TJ glanced at Danny with the thought, and instantly chuckled to himself when he saw the smug smile in his face. "Uh, dude, are you feelin ok?"

Danny instantly jolted out of his thoughts. "Huh? Oh, yeah. I'm good. So… um when do you think Clare will get out?" Danny looked around for Clare some more.

"Uh I don't know. But now that you mention her, do you like her… you know like her?" TJ asked while averting his gaze to the ground.

"Uh, why do you ask? Do you like her, uh I mean like her?" Danny also looking at the ground.

"YES! Oh, I mean, she's alright, you know, for a girl." TJ replied sheepishly. "

"Oh, ok. That's cool I guess." Danny said with a disappointed look.

"Umm do you like her? Cause man, I will definitely lay off and let you have her."

"Don't worry TJ; I don't like her so she's all yours"

"SWEET! Thanks Danny!"

"No problem," he responded sadly.

Clare was heading out of Mr. Lancer's class just as she heard someone shout her name. "Clare!"

Clare looked back to see who was calling her, and spotted the blond girl she was 'talking' with in gym class.

"Hi Sophia. What's up?" Clare rolled her eyes as the girl's eyes suddenly took on a deeper red hue. But she didn't worry; she would never break free unless she allowed her to.

Meanwhile, Sophia just started to talk about how she hated most of her classes and how she wish that school was just two minutes. Her outer calm was just a façade however, on the inside she was desperately trying to break free from some invisible force that was forcing her to act nice to this girl. She at least wanted to glare at her but she was unable to, and that only made her even more furious at this chick. But the thought of what she did to her also made her fear her. First she was just about ready to punch her in the face when her eyes started to glow red, and the next thing she knew, she was being forced to be nice to her, without any control over her hate for her.

"Yea well that's cool and all, but I promised I'd meet Danny and TJ over by the lunch tables outside, so I'll see you later ok?" Clare just stared as she saw the red hue on Sophia's eyes abruptly darken.

"W-what? Why don't you just hang out with me and my friends at lunch?"She said nervously, desperately trying to convince Clare.

"No, I promised him and I think he's really cute." Clare said with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Um, n-no just hang out with us, they're losers."

"No, I don't think so, see you later!" Clare said as she began to make her way to the outer lunch tables.

"Clare wait!" Sophia desperately shouted.

"No, I don't think I will." Clare said as she walked out.

Lilith and her friends were talking in the hallway. She was a little surprised when one of her friends had said that her little brother was cute. Honestly, she thought that she was drunk or sick because her little brother was most definitely not cute, well at least not in her eyes.

"Hey Lilli, why don't you have ghost powers like your dad, little sister, and aunt?" One girl suddenly asked.

"Omg! Steph, that just came out of nowhere!" Another said while laughing.

"Hey it's alright. I don't have ghost powers because I'm the normal one in my family." Lilith replied, while playing with her hair.

"What about your mom?" Steph asked curiously.

"My mom? She's an ultro-recyclo vegetarian, Goth and is married to a half ghost that was raised by ghost hunters. She's not normal either." Lilith said in a matter-of –factly tone.

"Normal is over rated." Someone suddenly said from behind.

"Danielle! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at school?" Lilith said furiously.

"Well, first; I'm just here to tell you that mom and dad are leaving to some dinner for dad's work today and that you'll have to walk home today. Second; I had a minimum day at school today and got let out early. And I don't know why you think we aren't normal, not that I'd want to be normal anyways, normal is lame."

"Ugh whatever, come on girls lets go."Lilith said as she started walking.

"For one, when you're normal you can't do this," Danielle suddenly overshadowed one of Lilith's friends. The bell suddenly rang.

"Oh, got to go! Bye sis!" Then Danielle flew out of the girl and phased out of the school.

Danny, TJ, and Clare were all talking outside, Danny still pretty upset about his best friend liking the girl he liked, but he was in a better mood than before. Everyone was happy, well up until Clare asked Danny a question.

"Danny, how did your dad get ghost powers?"

Danny was surprised by the question at first, but then his expression quickly melded into a frown."Well, when he was fourteen, my mom, TJ's dad, and my dad went into my grandparents' lab. They got curious and wanted to check out the ghost portal, and my dad was the one to put on a jumpsuit and go inside the portal. Well actually my dad got ghost powers three times but that's a story for another day. Well anyways, my dad walked inside the portal and accidentally turned it on and, well, he got ghost powers." He ended with a serious look on his face.

"Wow! That is very interesting. So, if you wanted to, you could walk inside the ghost portal and get ghost powers?" Clare, actually looked at Danny with an amazed look on her face, though she also had a gleam in her eye from some unknown emotion.

"Yeah, I guess I could. But my dad is always talking about all the stress he went through his first and a little bit of his second year of high school, but ironically part of that stress was self inflicted because if he wouldn't have ever turned on the ghost portal, then none of those ghosts he was fighting would have gotten out of the ghost zone." Danny ended with a small frown.

"Yeah but, you wouldn't go through that stress, since your dad and little sister are the ones ghost hunting." Clare suddenly looked down so TJ wouldn't notice her eyes glowing with a red hue. Danny's eyes also glowing with the same hue.

"Maybe I should go into the portal, but I'd have to get my dad to get it into the same way it was before he got his powers."

"Don't worry about that, I can convince him."

Okay, well that was chapter one of Like Father, Like Son. I really hope you enjoyed it. Like I said before, you need to read pearl84's story, Checkmate. It's a really good story. Ok, well I'm sorry to say but I cant update as fast as most other writers since my parents don't know I'm writing on this website so I can't use the computer as often so, yeah .LOL!

Ok, then please review to this; I would love to hear your comments to this. Bye!
