Hello once again, faithful readers! You wanted: you voted: I wrote! Yes, this is a sequel to Captured? It will be a Danny/Dani Father/Daughter because even though I love them, all of the ones out there are ridiculously clichè or seem to be 'based off' of one another, aka practically the same. No offense! I just... Wanted to shake things up a bit in the Phantom relationship department. So here you go!
Disclaimer: Let's see, what don't I own here... Danny Phantom, Fairly Odd Parents (both Butch Hartman, but I prefer DP), Ghost Busters, Doctor Who, or anything else that rings a bell. I do own this plot though!

Chapter 1: Can You Please Answer a Few Questions?

"Timmy was an ave-"

"No." Click.

"Tina was seven years old when we-"

"No." Click.

"Who you gonna call? Gh-"

"Please no!" Click.

"Phantom girl figh-"

"No." Click

"In reality, they are his odd-"

"Wait a minute!" The fourteen year-old boy sat up, just realizing what he had flicked past. Once again clicking the little button in his remote, he stared at the small television screen.

"Her origins are unknown, but she bears remarkable resemblance to our own town hero, Danny Phantom. While researchers are hunting down information on this mysterious ghost girl, our very own Lance Thunder is recording live from what appears to be the beginning of a small battle. Lance, what's going on over there?"

The view of a blond lady then switched to a man. He was obviously arguing with someone over his headset, an occurance Amity Park residents had long since grown used to. Behind the man was a young girl, looking to be about eleven or twelve, in a black and white Hazmat suit. Two large robotic ghosts were advancing on her.

"No Darla, I am not going to ask her for a pi- Oh! I'm on! Well Stacy, there isn't much to say here, only see. The two metal ghosts there seem to be cornering the ghost girl, but wait a moment! Mike has audio!"

By this time, the boy was leaning forward in his seat, a strange mix of emotion on his face; confusion, fear, and possibly a bit of anger. He watched carefully as the girl was backed against a brick wall, a few stray icicles dangling over her head and the two familiar ghosts grinning, lazy, and yet victorious grins.

"Ghost Girl! I am Technus! Master of all things mechanical and electronic! I and my new ally Skulker-"

"I am not your ally! We are simply working together to corner the ghost girl so that I may hang her pelt on my wall!"

At this time, the girl rolled her eyes, attempting to hide her fear. "Sounds like an alliance to me. But it doesn't matter! Danny's around here somewhere, and while I wait for him to come, I can definitely fend you two idiots off."

Skulker laughed, his ectosuit rattling. "Ha! That whelp cannot help you! He is no where near here! My radar says so. See?" He pointed to a beat up PDA on his wrist.

"And once we have destroyed you, Danny Phantom will be so caught up in his emotions-" he said the word as if it were dirty, "-that he will be easy to take down!"

As they once again began to prowl forward and the anchor began speaking, the girl's fear finally caught up with her.

"DANNY!"

Even before her screech, the boy on the couch had been up and running to the door. "Going to Sam's! Thanks! Bye!" Shoving his raven black hair out of his eyes, he slammed the door, dashing into a nearby alley.

"I'm going ghost!" Came his voice and bright white rings burst into existence around his waist. As they separated, a huge change occurred. The boy's black hair flared, becoming a brilliant white, as his baby blue eyes flashed and became neon green. With his final changes, Daniel Fenton flew into the sky, now the notorious Danny Phantom, Hero of Amity Park, Saviour of the Ghost Zone, and half ghost.

Scanning the skies, he located the ghost fight. It really wasn't too hard, what with the news vans, policemen, and two helicopters hovering above. Sighing, Danny made his way over invisibly, assessing the situation. Two moderately powerful ghosts and all types of media known to man, but no ghost hunters. All in all, could be worse, but he had seen better.

"Alright, which of you two would like to be sucked in first?" Danny asked the malevolent ghosts, rattling a soup thermos in his hand.

A gasp resonated around the block as he reappeared, whispers breaking out everywhere at his arrival.

"I, Technus, shall make a hasty retreat, to replan th-"

"No!" Danny watched in amusement as Skulker grabbed Technus. "Two against one! We will easily beat the ghost child. Unless you don't want that upgrade I showed you?"

"Of course I do!"

"Good! Now then, ghost girl fir- Where did she go?"

Danielle smirked confidently from her new position next to Danny. "What was it you were saying about two against one?"

Skulker growled and his suit began to whir, sprouting multiple weapons. "I will have your pelts!" Pressing a button, two metal spheres rolled out, clunking on the ground. Danny raised an eyebrow.

"That's it?

He should have known not to speak: as soon as he finished, Technus rose his hands above his head, the spheres following. Suddenly, they shot at the two Phantoms.

Eyes widening, Danny wasted no time in his hasty retreat. "Danielle! Come on!" Pulling her away from the contraptions, he put a shield around the them, containing a large blast within.

Letting the shield fade, Danny turned back to Skulker and Technus.

"What, The Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter can't throw a simple ball? Or wait, don't tell me! Ember has another party planned?"

Laughing at the incredulous looks on the ghosts' faces, he tossed his thermos to his younger counterpart, who in turn uncapped it and aimed it at them. With a last, "I told you so," they were sucked into the thermos's depths.

With the threat gone from the now silent block, Danny turned to Danielle.

"Dani..."

"I know what you're going to say but first, smile!"

At that moment, a camera flashed, blinding the halfa. "What..." He muttered. "Danielle!" Danny yelled out, and as soon as he could see, he was flying away from the cameras and after the girl.

"Dani, wait!" Finally catching up to her, Danny glared at the girl. "What were you doing? You aren't supposed to be using your powers! We don't know if they're completely stable!"

"Yeah?" She shot back. "Well, we don't know if yours are either. We were in practically the same situation, why are you still flying around playing hero?"

"Because we weren't in the same positions! You've always been unstable! Yeah, that Ecto-Dejecto worked for a time, but we don't know if it was a permanent thing, not to mention that you died! Technically you shouldn't be alive, the Ecto-Dejecto has to be practically holding you together!"

Danny could immediately tell he had gone to far, by the building tears and fear in Dani's eyes. "Dani-"

"No! You don't really want me alive, let alone here! You're just like Vlad! I feel better now than in my whole existence! Even better than when I was first formed, or when you sprayed me with that stuff the first time! And you know what? I don't care! I was doing fine without you before, so I can do fine on my own now!" She spun around, flying towards Danny's house and the portal.

Gravity, however, had different ideas, as Danielle's ghost form flickered, and she plummeted to the ground."

A/N: Hey wait. Didn't Captured?'s first chapter end with someone falling to the ground too? Hmm... Oh well, works for me.

Haha! False alarm. I was going to end the chapter here, but I decided I want to start working on longer chapters.

Danny's eyes widened. He glanced around before heading straight down towards Dani. Pouring on a bit more speed, he reached her, grabbing her before turning both of them invisible.

Oh, I hope no one saw that, he thought.

Flying slower now, and in the opposite direction of where Dani had been flying, he took time to take in the sights. The fight had taken place in a relatively deserted block of Amity Park, a favorite haunting grounds of ghosts, besides Casper High. Right now, he was flying over the park, with a layer of sparkling snow over it. As Danny flew, he started going faster, his destination right ahead.

"Really? One second! Just one second!"

Hearing her daughter rage at the television, Pamela Manson poked her head out of the kitchen. "Sammy? What's wrong?"

Startled, Sam looked away from the ghost fight on the screen. "Um, nothing. I'm going upstairs..."

Running up the steps to her room, Sam collapsed onto her bed, waiting for what she knew was coming. One... Two... Three...

Right on time, two ghosts floated through her ceiling. Danny set Dani on Sam's bed before turning to her.

Sam quickly put her hands in the air. "I know what you're going to say-"

To her surprise Danny grinned in amusement. "Don't you dare tell me to smile."

"Um, I wasn't going to? Aren't you going to flip out about how I let her run away or something?"

"No, it's not your fault you can't fly. And you were right, her energy isn't stable. She went human after the fight, but luckily nobody saw."

"Are you sure?"

Danny's eyes snapped to her, demanding an answer. "Sam, did you see something? Did they catch it on tape?"

"No! Well... I don't really know. They caught your argument, but I didn't stay through it." She looked at him worriedly. "Do you want to check? I can turn on the T.V., if they caught it, it'll be all over."

"Yes please."

Nodding, the goth grabbed a small remote off of her dresser and pressed a small red button. An empty section of her wall shifted and folded in on itself, revealing a decent sized flat screen. Pressing another button, Sam turned it on. There on the screen was the anchor, Stacy.

"Though our researchers have found nothing about the ghost girl, the resident unit of Guys in White have. Now let's visit them now. Shelley?"

"Thank you, Stacy," said a black haired woman, sitting between two men in white suits. "Hello, Amity Park, this is Shelley Makamoto, here with the government ghost hunting agency, the Guys in White. This is Agent O and Agent K. Agents, you said that you had information pertaining to the ghost girl and our own Danny Phantom that you were willing to share with us. Could you tell us what that news is?"

"Normally, we would be unable to, but with help from an anonymous, erm, benefactor, we are able to release this information early."

"And what exactly is this information?"

"About two weeks ago, we were able to obtain DNA samples from both ghosts-who both seem to go by the same name. It took us some time, but we were able to discover that these two ghosts are indeed related. In fact, your town hero is this mysterious girl's father."

Three incredulous "What?!"s resonated throughout the room.

Tucker Foley stared at the screen, mouth gaping. "They... Think... Oh! Wow, too rich, I have to tell Danny!" he exclaimed, punching in a few numbers on his ever-present PDA.

"Come on, pick up, pick- Hi Danny! Did you-"

...

"Why?"

...

"But! Oh, alright!"

Hanging up, he placed the PDA in his pocket and ran to the door. Tucker yelled, "Mom! I'm going to go meet up with Sam and Danny, I'll be back for dinner!" before leaving for Sam's.

"At least they didn't catch me changing back, but let me get this straight. Those idiots collected DNA samples form us - probably when we were passed out - and have just decided that I must be your daughter? And haven't even spared a thought about me being oh, let's say, a clone?!"

Tucker grinned. "Just proves you aren't Danny's clone though! What if you were created with kind of the same principles as that one Doctor Who episode? Where Danny's DNA samples are pretty much representing both of your parents genetics? I mean, Vlad might have missed something like that!"

"Doctor Who?" Dani asked in confusion.

Sam groaned. "Don't ask, Dani."

Dani shrugged. "Okay then, I won't. Hey Danny, what are we going to do? Are you just going to go out there and tell them I'm not your daughter? Or do I just disappear and let Amity think I was a figment of their imagination or something?"

Danny jolted from his position next to the window, snapping out of his thoughts. "Danielle, what if... We just let them keep thinking that? I mean, they aren't going to accept me simply saying I'm not your dad, especially when DNA tests say otherwise and it makes such good gossip. And you aren't going to be just disappearing again any time soon!"

Dani blinked. "So... You want to be my... Dad?"

"No!" He replied hurriedly. "I mean, it's just more convenient for the world to think that, especially if you're going to be staying in Amity for awhile, and I can bet you won't be letting me do all the ghost hunting, no matter how much I disapprove."

"Why do I have to stay here?"

"Because you're still unstable! You're fainting episode earlier proved that!"

"Then why would I be ghost hunting?"

"Because I know I can't stop you."

Dani narrowed her eyes. "And you can stop me from going back to the Ghost Zone?"

Danny grinned. "Yeah. I can. There's a DNA lock, a pass code lock, and me to get through if you want to get through the portal, and I know you wouldn't risk Vlad's portal."

"Fine! I guess it's okay. You know, you... pretending to be my Dad..."

"Sounds good. For now!" Danny rubbed the back of his neck nervously. "Um, hehe, Dani? There's a ghost," he stated, a wisp of mist escaping his mouth. "But you can't come this time! You're still out if it from earlier!"

"Fine!" She huffed, crossing her arms and watching him fly out the window. As soon as he was gone, she rounded on Danny's friends. "Bet you two thought that was amusing!"

"Face my corrugated cardboard- Argh!" The Box Ghost yelled as Danny lazily sucked him into his thermos.

"I guess Dani could have come on this one," he murmured, just before being ambushed by the press.

"Danny Phantom! Is that girl really your daughter?"

"Phantom! How old are you and your daughter!"

"What is her name?"

"Danny Phantom! How do ghosts reproduce?"

"Can you please answer a few questions?"

"Um, hehe," he said, rubbing his neck again. "In order, I won't say no, I'm not completely sure, her name is Danielle Phantom, or Dani with an 'i,' just eeeww, and I just did. And now, I have to go!" He then became invisible, hovering above the mob. "Great," he said to himself. "It starts again."

Poor Danny, being mobbed again! How'd I do on length? Since I am doing longer chapters, they will also take longer to update, but it won't be too much of a difference, since my updating was very sporadic in the first place. Review please!
