A/N: This is set right where the series left off.
When Danny woke up, he could smell the smoke before his eyes were even open. Stumbling out of bed, he raced to the two younger girls room and threw open the door.
"Stephanie! Michelle!" he cried, running over and shaking them both. "Girls, wake up!"
"Huh?" Stephanie groaned, sitting up and rubbing her eyes. "What's going on?"
"Just .. grab your sister!" Danny commanded, already halfway out the door. "Get Michelle and come downstairs as quickly as you can."
Stephanie's senses were now working again, and she could smell the smoke too. It evoked a panic deep within her, and she quickly shook Michelle out of her slumber. "C'mon, Michelle!"
She grabbed the younger girl out of her bed and hauled her by the arm out of their room and down the stairs.
By this time, Danny had woken up DJ, and the two had hurried downstairs. The living room was the source of the smoke, and it was already burning fairly rapidly. Jesse, Becky, the twins, and Joey were standing in the kitchen.
"Let's get out of here!" DJ cried, picking up one of the twins and running for the back door. Everyone rushed after her as soon as they realized that everyone was there.
"What about Comet?" Michelle yelled, hesitating at the door.
"He's here," Becky reassured the youngest Tanner, gently pushing on her back to get her to move. Comet, obviously no idiot, had followed the rest of the family into the kitchen and now, out the back door.
They all backed off, toward the street, staring in a mixture of horror and shock at the flames now darting through the side of the house.
Michelle sat on the damp grass, hugging herself for warmth and cuddling Comet for some comfort. Stephanie and DJ stood on either side of their father. Danny had his arms around both girls, and all three had especially grim expressions on their faces. Joey and Jesse were standing a little ways off, staring up at the house in horror. And Becky was holding hands with a twin on either side, as they asked her over and over again, "What's happening, Mama? What's happening?" Becky was too dumbstruck to answer. They all were.
All anyone could do was stare as the house they'd lived in for so long, as one giant, happy family, burnt to the ground.
