Welcome all you Danny Phantom Phans! This is my newest story 'My Dad's a Hero'! If you are reading this then I know you care. ^_^ Anyway. I want to let you all know that this is another alternate universe or AU. I am only planning on having one story series in the same universe as the movies and this isn't it. Also, I will not do the same thing with reviews as last time. I will answer all those through PM unless you aren't signed in. Then I may leave a little note for you. You all know the drill! Read it, Review it, and Add it to your lists. R&R&A (XD
Disclaimer: I have said it about thirty times before in my other stories. HAVE YOU GOTTEN THE MESSAGE?
My Dad's a Hero
Ch. 1: Laws and Parties
Walker growled and stormed into his office. These idiots he called prison guards couldn't catch one missing prisoner. Wulf had been free for a year now. It was pathetic! The warden froze when he saw a black haired boy sitting in a chair and reading a glowing green law book. He snarled and yanked the book from the boys hands, closing it with a snap. Blue eyes looked up with one eyebrow raised. "Crabby much?"
Walker growled and swiped at the teen, his hand going strait through his head. "Get out of my office, Punk!"
The boy rolled his eyes. "Relax Walker. I'm just here to ask some questions."
Walker glared. "And what would the great Danny Phantom want to ask me?" He asked sarcastically. "I still have a price over your head, you know."
Danny Fenton, second halfa to exist in the world, grinned cheekily. "I'm pretty sure I could beat your goons, Walker."
The ghost jailer placed his hands on the arm rests and leaned in with a glare. "I don't trust you." he growled.
"The feeling is mutual." Danny said. Then he made a face. "Dude, I wasn't kidding when you invaded Amity Park. You need mouthwash."
The warden stood up and glared. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't just call my guards and throw you in jail."
The teen smirked. "They couldn't touch me. Human form, remember?"
Walker walked over to his desk and sat in the large chair behind it. "I'm listening." he said cautiously.
Danny grinned and jumped up. "Ok! I was wondering if there was any law on adoption."
The warden raised an eyebrow, causing the halfa to blush slightly and rub the back of his neck. "Well… you see… umm…" He stuttered. "I kinda sorta want to adopt someone. And sense I'd never be able to explain it in the human realm, I thought it'd be best to do it here."
Walker stared at the teen for a minute. Then a large grin spread across his face that was slightly scary. "Your talking about your clone."
"How did…"
Walker chuckled. "We like to keep up with yours and Plasmius' shenanigans. Makes for interesting stories."
Danny smacked his face. "You ghosts are like gossiping old ladies!"
Walker glared. "Watch it punk. You want the girl as your daughter, you gotta get on my good side."
Danny sighed. "I'm asking your permission. That's gotta count for something!"
Walker just smirked. Danny frowned. "Cone on! Tomorrow's Christmas!"
Walker rolled his eyes. 'Kid has a point.' he thought. "Fine." Danny grinned. "In honor of the Christmas Truce I will get you adoption papers for your clone."
Danny grinned even wider. "Thanks Walker!"
"This doesn't change a thing Ghost Punk. You step foot in my prison again and I'll lock you up."
"I'll just have to stay human around you then." The teen smirked.
"That won't work forever Phantom." the jailer muttered as the halfa walked through the wall and out of sight.
"Merry Christmas!" The ghosts shouted as Danny walked through the door.
Smiling and shaking his head, the teen thought, 'I will never get used to that.'
Frostbite pulled the teen into a huge bear hug. "Hello Danny Phantom!" He bellowed.
Danny gave a muffled laugh. The yeti ghost set him down and the teen ruefully rubbed his ribs. Pandora came over, kind smile on her face. "Hello Danny!" she said.
"Hi Pandora! How's things going for you guys?"
"Everything is going well. The Box Ghost finished cleaning everything here." Pandora said with a chuckle.
Frostbite grinned. "We have made a new breakthrough in our medical labs. It enhances a ghosts' healing abilities. Very helpful for large wounds."
"Nice." Danny said.
Suddenly a large hand descended on the halfas' right shoulder. Danny turned and came face to face with Walker. The warden held a folder with papers inside. Walker smirked and slapped the folder to the halfas' chest, making Danny grab it before it fell. "You and the girl need to sign these, then you can officially be her dad." he said with a slight malicious chuckle.
Danny gave him a disturbed look, having the slight suspicion that Walker was making fun of him. Frostbite grinned even wider. "We are all exited to see her reaction."
Danny slapped his face. "Please don't tell me you all know about this."
"No such luck kid." Another male voice said.
They turned to see Johnny 13 and Kitty walking toward them, smirks on their faces. "Everyone in the Zone knows about it." Kitty said.
'Gossiping old ladies.' Danny thought, shaking his head.
Just then the door opened, revealing Danielle. "Merry Christmas!" Everyone, including Danny, yelled.
Dani blinking in shock which then turned into a disturbed expression as the ghosts all continued to stare at her, huge smiles still on their faces. "Ahem." Danny cleared his throat and gave them all a pointed look.
As if suddenly realizing what they had been doing, the ghosts returned to their previous conversations, though still grinning and casting the two young halfas secretive glances. Danny chuckled and walked over to Danielle with a grin. "Hey cuz!"
"Hey Danny!" Dani said. She floated up and gave him a big hug.
Several ghosts smiled widely and started exchanging money. 'Oh great. Now their betting.' Danny thought.
"Hey Dani?" "Yeah?" "Can I talk to you in private?" "Sure."
The halfas walked over to an empty room and went inside. Danny rolled his eyes as he saw everyone talking and watching them from the corners of their eyes. The teen firmly shut the door.
"Why was everyone looking at us like that?" Dani asked.
"They're a bunch of gossiping old ladies." Danny replied, ignoring the confused look this earned him.
He ran his hand through his hair, suddenly nervous. "How've you been, Dani?"
"Good. I've gotten to see a ton of stuff around the world. I even sat on top of the Eiffel Tower!" she said excitedly.
Danny smiled. "Do you like being on your own?"
The girls' smile fell slightly. "It was fun at first, ya know?" Danny nodded. "No rules, no curfew, no Vlad. But I kinda want to have a place to call my own. I was thinking I could go to Dora's Castle or the Far Frozen. I love the snow."
"How 'bout a third option?" Danny asked, pulling out the folder and handing it to the girl.
Dani blinked at it for a second then opened it and started to read through. There was silence for a while as her eyes scanned through all the legal babble. Then her mouth dropped open. "You want to adopt me?" she whispered incredulously.
Danny nodded awkwardly and quickly said, "You don't have to if you don't want to. It's your life and I'd completely respect you if you wanted to stay cousins."
Danielle looked down at the folder again. How could such a small piece of paper hold such a big impact on their lives? Ages seemed to pass. Danny took a deep breath and looked away. Finally, Dani looked up. The older teen looked back at her with sad eyes. Dani looked back at the papers with a grin and whispered, "You got a pen?"
Danny blinked. "Your excepting?" he asked.
The twelve-year-old nodded, still grinning. Danny joined in the grin and pulled her into a huge hug and she hugged him back just as hard. At some point Danny kneeled down so that Dani could stand. They pulled away and Danny put his hands on her shoulders. "Thank you." he whispered.
Both teens signed the papers and hugged again. Danielle sniffed and wiped her eyes, then they were ready. "Just to warn you Dani," The older teen said as he got ready to open the door. "Everyone knows I was gonna ask you to be my daughter 'cause Walker doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut."
Dani giggled. "Is that why you called them gossiping old ladies?"
Danny rolled his eyes for what felt like the millionth time that day and nodded. "They were passing money around too."
Both halfas chuckled and turned to the door. Danny pulled it open and they walked out. All the ghosts turned to look at them expectantly. Danny once again rolled his eyes. "We signed it." he said, holding up the folder.
The room burst into chears. Frostbite pulled both teens into a bone crushing hug. "CONGRATULATIONS!"
When they were released and allowed to breath, Dora and Pandora came and hugged them. The party was now in full swing. There were flashing lights (Technus wouldn't allow the party to have meger lighting), music, a refreshment table, and lots of ghosts were dancing. At one point they did a gift exchange. They each grabbed a present and passed it during a song. When the music was stopped they opened the present they ended up with. Laughter filled the air at the presents each person got. The Lunch Lady got a night cap that she traded with Nocturn for an apron while Danny traded the jewelry box he got for the Box Ghosts' rocket model. When everyone had traded for something they could use they began chatting. Dani hung out with the younger ghosts like Youngblood and Sidney Poindexter. Youngblood was wearing a Santa Clause outfit while his friend Bones was a skeletal reindeer.
Danny talked with Frostbite and the other older ghosts. He even had a good conversation with Skulker. Then Danny relized that someone wasn't here. He turned to the mechanical ghost and asked, "Does Plasmius ever come to these?"
Skulker shook his head. "Plasmius dislikes mingling with other ghosts. He prefers more to be alone and only interact with us when he needs something done." He said with an eye roll.
The halfa smirked. "Is he a Scrooge?"
The Hunter chuckled and nodded.
It was late at night now. Danny smiled as he saw Danielle asleep on the couch, still in ghost form. He went over and gently picked her up, resting her head on his shoulder. Her arms subconsciously wrapped loosely around his neck causing some ghosts to chuckle and a few of the girly girls to "Awww!" With a few good-byes and lots of congrats following then, Danny waved and took Danielle home.
Awwww! I love it when little kids do that!
Dani: THAT'S EMBARRASSING! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?
Cause I can.
Sam: Don't try reasoning with her Dani. Won't work.
Danny: Yeah. I tried to make her lighten up on me during Field Trip. I just got more pain.
Mwahahahahahaha!
Casera: She's crazier than me!
Am not! You actually killed Danny. I just made him get lots of boo boos. If Clockwork weren't in the shows, Danny would be forever lost.
Casera: But Clockwork is there and Danny's alive. So ha!
Yeah yeah. So, I know this has been done before. Kinda hard to make something that hasn't here with so many authors and ideas. SO NO COMPLAINING ABOUT IT! I think I've proven that I can go against the norm. So there. R&R&A Lol.
