May and I came up with the idea of A Danny Phantom AU. In this version Adrien is half ghost, Marinette is gifted with the power to see and communicate with ghosts, and Plagg and Tikki are ghosthunters and Adrien's Aunt and Uncle who he lives with. The akumas are evil ghosts but they can't be seen, heard, or touched by humans unless they overshadow a human with negative emotions. However they can see and interact with Adrien and Marinette because he's half ghost and she's psychic. To get rid of the akuma ghost Adrien must capture the possessed victim, have Marinette exorcist it from their body, and then Adrien sends it back to the ghost zone. Hawkmoth is a halfa like Adrien seeking to find a working portal to the ghost zone. I will be writing Miraculous versions of Danny Phantom episodes. For the first chapter I will be doing a favorite of mine and May's.
Parental Bounding part 1
Plagg sat by the ghost portal in his basement fishing for ghosts like he did every Wednesday.
"Hey Uncle Plagg I got that package you wanted." Adrien said bringing a box in.
"Thanks just put it over there, I'll look at it later."
"What are you doing?"
"Fishing for ghosts with an unbreakable line the ghosts can't phase through but keep it down you don't wanna spook them."
"Um don't you need bait?"
"You're right hold this while I get some."
He handed the ghost fishing pole to Adrien and rushed upstairs. No sooner had he left then when Adrien's green ghost breath flew from his mouth.
"Oh no."
He felt a strong pull on the line and when he pulled it back using his ghost strength, there was a giant pink ghost dragon attached to the other end.
"I want to go!" It roared. Adrien tried to run but it grabbed him with it's talons. "I have to go!"
"Oh boy! This isn't good."
He then transformed into a ghost-cat like boy and phased through it's fist. He blasted the dragon away accidentally knocking off a rose amulet it was wearing causing it to unknown to him land in his bag. He then watched as the pink dragon changed into a girl with pink hair and green skin. He recognized her as Princess Fragrance from one of the books that listed akuma ghost.
"All I wanted was to go to Prince Ali's costume ball." She said. "And my horrid Mummy won't let me!" (That is not a spelling error, she actually said Mommy like Mummy.)
Then she flew into the ghost zone.
"If a dragon is her idea of costume I'm on Mummy's side." Adrien said as he changed back.
He grabbed his bag and headed upstairs to meet his beast friend Marinette so they could go to school and meet up with their friend Nino. All three of them were excited about the upcoming dance this weekend. Adrien didn't know it but Marinette was secretly hoping he would ask her, she had been crushing on him ever since they first met. He was first boy who didn't call her crazy or treat her like she was a freak because of her power to see ghosts.
"Hi Juleka, wanna go to the dance with me?' Nino asked her.
"Sorry Nino but dances are way too cheery for my taste." She answered.
"What about you Mylene?"
"I'd love to but I already have a date, right Ivan?"
"Yeah and she's mine! So back off!" He growled.
"Du...Duly noted." Nino shivered.
"Rose? You wanna go?"
"I have a date with my friend Lucas."
Nino sighed and went to sit with Marinette and Adrien.
"No luck huh?' Adrien asked.
"Yeah."
"Why don't you ask Sabrina?" Marinette suggested. "She doesn't have a date."
"Yeah but she's a little geeky."
"Geeky? This coming from the biggest techno geek in our school. Do you have any idea how shallow you just sounded? Sabrina is nice and smart and sweet and-"
Then she noticed that the two boys were no longer paying attention to her. They were staring at Lila and Chloe the two most popular girls in their school, pretty much every boy had a crush on those two except Ivan. But Chloe was spoiled, snobby, and rude while Lila was shallow, mean, and downright nasty. Both of them made Marinette's skin crawl especially Lila.
"Come on guys you can do way better than them." Marinette said.
"What do you mean they're like the prettiest girls in our school." Nino said.
"Yeah but neither one of them act like that you two even exist."
"Marinette's right." Adrien said.
"Thank you."
"There's no way either one of them would wanna go out with me."
"Why not bro?"
"Because my Uncle and Aunt are ghost hunters. Face it, I'm a freak."
"Hey! You are not a freak." Marinette argued. "You're smart and inventive and kind and funny and cute-"
"Huh?"
"Uh...cool...I said cool. That's what I said! I mean what else would I say?"
"She's right bro go ask Lila." Nino said.
"Okay, here I go."
He nervously walked up to her.
"Hi." He said.
"Hi you're pretty cute." She said.
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"So I was wondering would you like to be my date to the dance."
"Maybe you seem like my kind of guy, you got a name?"
"Adrien."
"Adrien? Are you related to those two ghost hunters?"
"Um...Well..yes there my Aunt and Unlce."
"Oh...no offense but um I can't really date someone like you. It's just too freaky."
"Freaky? At least he's not shallow like you." Marinette said.
"Shallow? You did not just call me that."
"Yes I did."
"I am not shallow!"
"Right..." She grabbed Adrien and pulled him along.
"On the other hand." Lila thought. "I could get back at that little brat by luring her little boyfriend away."
"Lila you are so evil." Chloe laughed.
"I know."
"Hey Lila do you wanna-" Nino started.
"No!." She answered.
"Chloe maybe you and I-"
"Forget it loser!"
"A simple no would have been enough."
Later during school as Adrien was putting his books away in his locker.
"Yoo-hoo! Adrien." Lila called. "Hey you. I just wanted to-"
"Meet me?" Kim said shoving Adrien into his locker. "I'm Kim the all star quarter back and-"
Adrien flew into Kim and overshadowed him.
"I'm a total creep who's kept every toe nail I've clipped." Adrien said from Kim's body. "Wanna see?"
"No! Gross!"
"I also scrub my Mom's feet."
"Eww! Get lost loser!" Lila said.
Adrien then flew out Kim's body and back into his locker.
"Huh? Why do I feel like scrubbing my mom's feet?" Kim asked as he walked off feeling dizzy.
Lila let Adrien out of his locker and got a glimpse of the amulet's chain from earlier.
"What's that?" When she touched it the pendent became a fox tail. "Oh it's beautiful."
"You like it?"
"I love it!"
"Then it's yours, I mean I wanted to give it to you if you agreed to go to the dance with me."
"Well you are cute so yes I'll go with you."
She put the amulet on and walked to class unaware that the amulet would have a dangerous effect on her.
"What am I doing?" Adrien asked. "That's not mine it could be Aunt Tikki's."
"Bye Adrien." Lila said.
"I'll worry about it later. Because she said yes!"
He jumped up happily which caused his pants to fall down.
"Pantsless on school property Mr. Kwami." Mr. Damocles said. "Looks like I'll have to have a little chat with your Unlce."
"Oh no."
Mr. Damocles handed him a note and a belt.
...
"Hey Unlce Plagg. How's it going?' Adrien asked when he came home.
"Terrible I haven't gotten a bite all day." He said. "I'm so frustrated I'm might go off on the first person who gives me bad news."
"Oh! Well you see, Mr. Damocles-"
"Mr. Damocles what?" He said angrily. "Is this bad news?"
"Sorry about this Plagg."
He overshadowed his uncle and went to talk with Mr. Damocles the next day.
"You see Mr. Kwami." He said. "Your nephew has had a diifcult time keeping himself covered."
"Really? Well he can't help it." Adrien said from Plagg's body. "He's so busy working all the time at school that he doesn't eat that much. I know because I'm his uncle and legal guardian."
"Yes about that, I've been meaning to ask where are his parents?"
"My I mean his parents? Oh...Well you my Mom I mean! My sister and her husband died a couple years ago."
"Oh I'm sorry poor kid."
"Yeah it's pretty sad and he's such a good boy you can ask my aunt I mean my wife that, so can you go easy on him next time?"
"Alright but Mr. Kwami."
"Yes?"
"I would like you to chaperone our school dance."
"Chaperone?"
"Yes, see you there."
"Oh great." Adrien thought.
