A/N: I own nothing!
A teenage boy with white hair and green eyes went soaring through the sky with a dark haired, violet eyed, teenage girl. They landed outside a brick home that was if it had type of super satellite on its roof.
"Danny, what's that?", the girl asked, pointing to an envelope sitting on the stoop.
"I don't kn- That's the Presidential Seal!", the boy replied.
"Should we open it?", she asked.
"Well, Sam. It's addressed to me. It says that it's for Daniel James Fenton. We're so opening this.", Danny replied, walking inside with Sam right behind him.
Later that night, Danny told the rest of his "Family" (Tuck and Val included) about President Hartman's letter.
"Danny, it's amazing. I hope we can go with you.", Maddie Fenton stated.
"He gave you his personal cell-phone number?", Tucker asked.
"Danny, why are the ecto-detecto alarms going of?", Jazz added quickly.
"I'll go find out.", he said as a black and white blur came speeding at him.
"DANNY!", the girl cheered.
"Dani, where have you been. I've been worried sick.", the ghost boy asked the female clone.
"Well, being a halfa flying from Dora's is not that quick nor easy.", Dani quipped.
"Danny, who is she?", Maddie asked, looking at Dani.
"Vlad took some of my DNA and tried to make the perfect halfa son. His strongest clone was Dani, who was a girl, not a boy. He tried to get Valarie to capture her. It got to the point that I had to use the failed Ecto-Dejecto on her to stop her from melting. She's like a little sister.", Danny said, smiling at the younger girl.
Outbursts followed, consisting of things like:
"He got your DNA?"
"She was melting?"
"She's a clone?"
"That fruit loop did WHAT!"
The last one was from Sam and Jazz.
"Yes; I also told him to get a cat. He named her Maddie.", Danny laughed.
"Three guesses why?", Jack spat angrily.
"Dad, calm down. We left him as a free roaming space nomad. He won't be back anytime soon.", Danny promised.
'Besides,' Danny thought to himself, 'If that bastered ever comes back again, I'll pummel him into his next afterlife.'
"Well, until we can get to the store tomorrow, Dani, you can sleep in the guest bedroom. It will be yours soon. If you want it to be that is!", Maddie said calmly.
"Really, I can stay?", the ghost girl asked in awe.
"You're just as much my daughter as Danny is my son, so you better start calling me 'Mom.'", she replied, hugging the girl.
"Thanks, Mom, Dad, Jazz, Danny, Tucker, Valarie, and Sam!", she cheered.
"I have to make a call.", Danny said, getting his cell-phone from the end-table and walking outside to his back yard.
He dialed the number (202)-574-4375. It rang all of twice before it was answered.
"Hello, President Butch Hartman speaking."
"Hello, Mr. President. I'm Danny Fenton/Phantom. The meeting this upcoming Wednesday, can I bring some other people to it?", he asked nervously.
"Of course you can, but no more that eight.", the President replied.
"That's perfect, since it was only seven people anyway. My mom, dad, two sisters, best friend, his girlfriend, and my girlfriend. We all have ghost hunting experience.", Danny said coolly.
"OK, I'll see you then Danny. Be safe.", Hartman replied.
"Yes, Sir.", Danny said, hanging up.
Walking back inside, Danny gathered everyone's attention.
"All of you are coming with me to meet the President on Wednesday. Tucker and I will take Sam and Val home, Mom, Jazz, make sure Dani gets to sleep, dad, there's fudge in the fridge.", Danny said, taking Sam's hand.
Tuesday night the group gathered at Fenton Works. Sam, Valarie, Dani, and Jazz were sitting on the couch. Jack and Maddie were in their armchairs. Danny and Tucker were on the floor.
"That dinner was great, mom.", Dani said.
"Thank you.", Maddie replied.
"We're leaving around eight o' clock in the morning. I think we should get to sleep shortly.", the male halfa told his mother.
"You're right about that. It would that it would be a bad idea to be tired in front of the President.", Jazz added.
"Ok, as long as we're talking about sleep,", Maddie said, "Dani and Jazz are in Jazz's room, Sam and Valarie are in the guest room, and Danny and Tucker are in Danny's room. Now off to bed."
The next morning, the teens slept in their seats on the private jet that was sent for them. Jack and Maddie looked over at their three children and their children's friends. Dani was asleep, curled up next to Jazz, who had quickly become her best friend. Danny was asleep, his arms around a sleeping Sam. Tucker and Valarie were in a position quite similar.
As the plane prepared to land, Maddie woke the teenagers. Upon collecting their luggage, the group was taken to the Willard-Washington hotel. Then they were divided up. Jack and Maddie were in one room, Danny and Tucker in another, Valarie was with Sam, and Jazz roomed with Dani.
Except for Maddie and Jack's room, each had two double beds. Danny sighed and he and Tucker dressed in their suits.
When they reached the hotel lobby, Danny was stunned. Sam was wearing a black dress, which was covered in lace, that stopped just below her knee and black high heels. Danny had never seen her wear shoes other than her combat boots. It took him a moment to fully process what he was seeing.
"You look amazing. No, I take that back. You look beautiful.", he whispered, kissing her temple.
"You don't look so bad yourself.", she replied, kissing his cheek, leaving behind a pattern of lips in purple lipstick.
Danny turned to see his mother and sisters. Dani was in a light blue dress that made her eyes even brighter. Jazz was dressed in a black and green dress with a gray sash around the waist. Maddie was wearing a light green pant suit. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Valarie in a yellow dress that fell just below the back of her knee. He also noticed his dad in a suit quite similar to his own.
The group arrived at the White House, and they were escorted in by Secret Service agents. They were escorted to a conference room, where President Hartman was waiting.
"Hello, Fentons, Ms. Manson, Mr. Foley, and Ms. Gray.", he said pleasantly.
"Hello, President Hartman.", they chorused.
"Do sit down, we have much to discuss.", he told them, and they obeyed.
"Now, first, I would like to know the name of the youngest Fenton girl.", the President said politely.
"Mr. President, my name is Danielle Jane Fenton, and I am a clone. Vlad Plasmius, better known as Vlad Masters, created me from Danny's DNA.", she answered, looking at him.
"Very well. Seeing as how you are the clone, not the cloner, you are in no trouble. I will never tell a soul about this, by the way.", he replied, smiling at the girl.
"Thank you, sir!", she chirped, smiling brightly.
"Now, onto the topic of ghosts...", and that conversation carried on for a while.
About an hour later...
"Thank you all so much. I really hope we can improve relations between ghosts and humans. The annual Independence Day ball is in a few days. I am personally inviting all of you. Shall I add you to the guest list?", President Hartman asked.
"We would be honored, Mr. President.", Maddie said, the others nodding in agreement.
"I shall see you then.", he said before leaving the room.
The group looked excitedly at one another. The meeting had gone perfectly. They contently went back to the hotel. The next day, Maddie decided she would have to take the girls shopping for the ball. Jack, by force, had to take the boys to get fitted for their tuxedos.
Sam had found her dress rather quickly. It was black, with spaghetti straps, and had lace ruffles along the bottom. She also picked out a black cropped jacket to go along with it. Valarie picked a floor length orange dress with cap sleeves. Dani's choice was an ice blue dress with a jacket similar to Sam's. Maddie had chosen a robin's egg blue gown with flowy sleeves. Jazz had opted for a green gown with an empire waist, a belt of beads under the bust line, and with a v-neck.
A few days later, they were all waiting for the guys. When Danny saw Sam, his heart skipped a beat. He had no words he could say to describe her. All Danny, defender of the planet and Ghost Zone, could do was grin like an idiot. Tucker was much the same with Valarie, but Jack smiled at Maddie and kissed the top of her head.
"You look incredible.", he whispered, still smiling.
At the ball, Danny found Team Phantom had their own table, near the President's. Smiling to himself, Danny turned to Sam.
"Is it just me, or do people still not understand that three kids have prevented the destruction of the world multiple times?", he asked, noticing all the looks they were getting.
"Option two.", she replied with a smile.
A few hours later, after dinner had been served, Danny and Sam were out on the dance floor. The next musical guest was announced, but neither teen payed much attention.
"Girl, I been thinkin' 'bout us
And you know I ain't good at this stuff
These feelings pilin' up won't give me no rest
This might come out a little crazy
A little sideways, yeah maybe
I don't know how long it'll take me but I'll do my best
If you'll be my soft and sweet
I'll be your strong and steady
You'll be my glass of wine
I'll be your shot of whiskey
You'll be my sunny day
I'll be your shady tree
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee
Yeah, that came out a little country
But every word was right on the money
And I got you smilin' honey right back at me
Now hold on cause I ain't done
There's more where that came from
Well you know I'm just havin' fun, but seriously
If you'll be my Louisiana
I'll be your Mississippi
You'll be my little Loretta
I'll be your Conway Twitty
You'll be my sugar baby
I'll be your sweet iced tea
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee
Your kiss just said it all
I'm glad we had this talk
Nothing left to do but fall in each others arms
I coulda said I love you
Coulda wrote you a line or two
Baby, all I know to do is speak right from the heart
If you'll be my soft and sweet
I'll be your strong and steady
You'll be my glass of wine
I'll be your shot of whiskey
You'll be my sunny day
I'll be your shady tree
You'll be my honeysuckle
I'll be your honey bee
You'll be my Louisiana
I'll be your Mississippi
You'll be my little Loretta
I'll be your Conway Twitty
You'll be my sugar baby
I'll be your sweet iced tea
You'll be my honeysuckle
And I'll be your honey bee
I'll be your honey bee"
"I liked that song.", Sam said idly as the singer whose name she had missed sang another song.
"I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be
But you stay here right beside me
And watch as the storm blows through
And I need you
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
Gave me you
There's more here than what we're seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
And I'll be the flattered fool
And I need you
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you
On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo
Cause God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
And for when I think I lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you, gave me you.
He gave me you."
Danny smiled at Sam, who was actually giggling.
"I love you, Sam.", he whispered, looking into her purple eyes.
"I love you to, Danny.", she replied, starring into his ice blue eyes.
Two weeks later, Amity Park had gotten over the shock of the Halfa Reveal. Dani was an official Fenton. However, she had not been seen by anyone outside of the family. Tucker had been replaced as Mayor of Amity Park. He was depressed, but Valarie had convinced him it was not the end of the world, no pun intended.
Now it was time for school. Dani would be starting out in the seventh grade, along with most twelve year olds. Of course, with her academic level, she would be going to the Amity Park Advanced Learning charter school. She hated the uniform, but knowing it was that or she would be the freaky genius girl that all the kids hate. Sam told her it would be torture, all of the preps and jocks . Dani knew she was right, but chose not to argue with Danny, whom tried to tell her it would not be that bad. She knew, however, that she would have an easier time at school than Danny would...
"It's Danny Phantom!"
The Phan girls, as the were known, began to swarm. Danny turned himself and Sam invisible and flew them to their lockers. Valarie and Tucker were close behind them. Valarie gave Tucker a quick peck on the cheek before running off to her locker near the other A-listers.
"Well, we have Lancer's class first, so let's go.", Sam said quietly, nodding to Danny, who turned the three invisible and flew them to class.
Meanwhile...
"Okay, class, settle down. This is our new student, Danielle Fenton.", the Math teacher said.
"It's just Dani, with one N and an I, not a Y.", Dani said softly, remembering what Sam had told her about a lady in a school such as this one.
The teacher nodded and made a note of it. Dani took her seat next to a girl with long blonde hair pulled up into a high ponytail.
"Hi, I'm Dani.", she whispered.
"I'm Luna. Are you related to Danny Fenton?", she asked, but not in an adoring tone.
"Yeah, I was cloned using his DNA. Plasmius is a major fruitloop. He made me think he actually cared about me, then he tried to kill me. Danny saved me and his parents adopted me. I'm practically Danny's twin.", Dani replied, just as quietly.
"That's kind of cool. My sister's throwing a back to school party this weekend. Do you think you could come? It would be nice to not have to hide in my room all night.", Luna asked with a smile.
"I'll see what I can do.", Dani responded quickly as the teacher turned back to the class.
By the end of the day, Dani and Luna, who shared most classes, were best friends. Danny had already managed to make sure Dash would be doing his own work for the remaining three and a half years of high school they had left. The A-listers failed to make Danny one of their own. Both felt they had good days of school.
At the end of the week, Dani found out Danny was going to the party at Luna's.
"Danny, I was invited. You cannot order me to not go!", she yelled.
"Mom, tell Dani she can't go to this party!", Danny cried.
"I'm sorry, dear, but she was invited. Dani, why don't you run upstairs and change into the outfit we picked out at the store the other day.", Maddie said, turning to her little girl.
"Thanks, Mom!", she cried, flying up the stairs in ghost form.
Danny sighed, only to get slapped in the back of the head by Sam.
"She was invited, Danny. I'm sure she'll spend her night talking to Luna. Just don't forget her and we'll be fine.", Sam whispered, smiling at her boyfriend.
Dani, who was standing next to Sam, giggled. She was dressed in sequined skinny jeans, a red babydoll blouse with black sequins on it, and black wedges. Her hair was in its usual ponytail. When the door opened, it was Star. She called up the stairs for Luna and led the others to the main party room.
Luna saw her friend and the two girls hugged.
"Come on, the party's this way.", she said in a giggle, leading Dani into the living room.
The two settled into a corner of the room near the fireplace. They laughed as they heard Dash and Paulina on the other end, arguing.
"If I don't pull up my grades, I won't be taking you anywhere. What part of that do you not understand.", he told her.
"Then you better find a way to get good grades, Dash.", they heard the Latina snap before stalking off.
"Poor Dash. I know he was never nice to my brother, but no one should be treated like that.", Dani said mostly to herself.
"You really are strange, Dani, but I like it.", Luna said, pushing Dani towards the depressed blonde jock.
"Luna!", she screeched hoarsely, before the blonde teen bumped into her.
"Hey, watch it, Los- I'm sorry. I didn't see you there.", Dash said, changing his statement halfway through, not recognizing Dani.
"It's okay. Luna shoved me in your way.", Dani replied, smiling softly.
"You're Fenton's little sister, right?", he asked.
"Normally I'd deny it, but yeah, I'm Danny's sister, Danielle. However, unless you have a death wish, it's just Dani, with one N and an I.", she replied.
Dash smiled, a real smile. Dani began laughing, then closed her eyes. When she opened her eyes, they were neon green.
"Totally cool.", she said in an undertone, before floating off and landing softly behind her brother.
As his ghost sense went off, he turned to see her.
"DANI!", he cried.
The female halfa just laughed and ran away. Her male counterpart chased after her. Everyone ran outside to watch the two halfas fly through the sky.
They returned inside when the Box Ghost showed up, most of them not realizing how easy it was to capture him.
Danny zapped him with an ecto-ray and Dani just aimed the thermos at him lazily.
"Too easy.", they mumbled, then laughed.
Back inside, Dani saw Dash sitting where she and Luna had been, sulking.
"You want to talk about it?", she asked, half jokingly.
"What would you care?", he replied with a sneer.
"Sadly, I care more than I should. That, and you're kind of in my chair.", she replied with a smile.
Dash laughed and moved to Luna's vacant chair. He was quiet for a moment before he began pouring his heart out to Dani.
"If you're so worried about your grades, I'll help you. I'm smarter than Danny, so I could probably help you with whatever you don't understand.", she told him quietly.
"You would do that, even with what I've done to your brother?", he asked.
"Plasmius, who made me, tried to have me kill Danny. Yes, the rumors about me are true. I am a clone, but don't tell people that. I hate people starring at me as if I'm a mindless drone.", Dani replied.
"That's exactly what Paulina would want. All eyes must be on her.", Dash said out of habit.
"Yeah, but I'm not Paulina, am I?", she asked.
"No. Paulina would never say the words, "I hate people starring at me."', he replied with a laugh.
"So, about me helping you study, how does Sunday, around two sound?", Dani asked.
"Sounds fine. What should I bring?", Dash asked.
"Just your school books.", she said softly, walking off, meeting Danny, Sam, and Tucker who stood by the door.
A/N: I hope it isn't too bad. R&R please! Happy Holidays!
