I know I should be updating other fanfictions, not starting a new one, but this one began to kill me and I loved it so much, that I decided to go ahead. YES, there is an OC, but I will TRY MY BEST NOT TO MAKE HER A MARY SUE! She will NEVER end up with Danny, but I may hook her up with Tucker.

Vlad yawned as he poured his coffee. He screamed in pain when he accidentally poured too much and it overflowed onto his pale hand. After checking his hand and making one of his servants, who was holding back a giggle, pour him one because his sleepy brain was still too incapable of doing it, he began to drink it.
He flipped the remote to the paranormal news channel and plopped into his armchair. Not a good idea, since the coffee split again in a way that made it look like the billionaire peed himself. He called for the servant again, who this time let giggles escape her mouth as she took his coffee-stained pants and empty coffee mug. Time to give up on coffee today.
"Allison Alya may have developed the technology and the theory that will change the way we hunt the paranormal," the man on TV said.
Vlad sat back down on the chair.
"I have spent three years researching the possibility that ghosts can take on a human form. I have discovered that some ghosts have traces of their human DNA left in them, which is why some appear more human-like. My research indicates that it's possible that there is so much human DNA left behind, that they may be able to take on a human form and may even be only partially dead," the young girl said after the man.
Vlad stared at her as she talked. She didn't look much older than Daniel! Blond hair that was so light that it almost seemed white, cheerful green eyes and a cheerful smile. She looked like young Daniel's friend, Samantha, in the form that she wore dark clothing and had bat earrings on with a black chocker necklace.
"Ms. Alya has developed so many amazing inventions. The one I find the most impressive was this detector she has built that tells how much human DNA a ghost has, and can be switched so that it can tell how much ghost DNA a human has," an aged man commented.
"Allison Alya grew up in Alabama with her parents, three brothers and an assortment of pets," a female voice began to give a brief biography of the young child. "Her interest in the paranormal appeared after the death of her oldest brother, Dante."
"She investigated the yards for hours after dark. She claimed that she saw his ghost," another woman said, probably Allison's mother.
"Although she never saw the ghost of her older brother, Allison's interest in the paranormal increased. Her parents recognized their only daughter as a child prodigy when she was seven, and allowed her to pursue her paranormal interest the best they could. Her mother, a bio-chemist, and her father, an ice-cream truck driver, did the best they could to support the young genius' dreams."
Vlad snorted. Ice cream truck driver and a bio-chemist. Just like Daniel's family. The mother was more important and smarter than the father. Vlad gave a laugh when he saw a family picture appear on the screen. Mrs. Alya was beautiful, pretty red hair that was to her shoulders. The two boys looked like their mother, while the daughter looked like her father. He was large, like the fat oaf, but he had blond hair and green eyes instead.
"Right now, Allison has just finished up her last year of college." A picture showed the pretty young girl in a cap and gown posing with some older women. "Now armed with a degree in Psychology from Harvard, she continues her paranormal studies in the comfort of her home, occasionally accepting invitations to speak about her paranormal studies in schools, colleges, and even in haunted towns."
Vlad smirked as he listened to Allison talk about what she was studying next. When the program was over, he walked out the door.
"Mr. Masters! Pants!"
Vlad quickly walked back inside. Pants would be very helpful.

"Allison Alya is coming to Amity Park!" Jazz said with a squeal as she ran in from checking the mail.
"Who?" Danny asked, pausing only a moment while eating cereal.
"Allison Alya!" Jazz repeated. "She was in this month's Women Geniuses."
"She's a child prodigy with a degree from Harvard that successfully developed new theories and inventions that will apparently be changing the way people hunt ghosts and other paranormal creatures," Maddie added.
Jazz and Danny stared at her.
"She was in last month's Paranormal Activity. (1)" Maddie explained.
"Paranormal Activity came!?" Jack burst through the door in excitement.
"No, but Allison Alya is coming to Amity Park," Jazz informed her father.
"When? We can all see her!" At this point, Jack grabbed the whole family together in a forced family hug. "It'll be a Fenton Family Bonding Moment."
After they finally became able to breathe, Danny and Jazz left for school, and the two adult Fentons went to work in their basement.

"Danny! This Allison Alya could expose you! She's obviously not an idiot!" Sam exclaimed after reading the wikipedia article on the young child genius in the school library during the lunch hour.
"How? All she did was come up with some new theories," Danny argued.
"But have you HEARD her theories!?" Tucker exclaimed, looking her up on his PDA. "She spent three years on researching the possibility that ghosts can take on a human form, and has discovered that some ghosts may have traces of their human DNA left in them since ghosts take on an ectoplasmic signature when they die and leave their human DNA behind. Her research proves that it's possible that some may have so much human DNA left behind them, that they may be able to take on a human form and may be even only partially dead."
Danny's eyes widened and took Tucker's PDA and read it himself. His friends were right. He really should be careful when she comes.
"We should all go to her public meeting at Town Hall," Sam suggested.
"Too late. My parents are already dragging her sister and I to see her," Danny groaned.
"Dude, you really need to lay low for a while," Tucker added.
"No duh," Danny grumbled. "When is she scheduled to talk anyway?"
"This Saturday," Sam informed after she looked up the public appearances dates real quick. "It says that she will give a small description of her theories, show some of her inventions and explain how they work, and then talk about her upcoming project."
"Any information on her upcoming project?" Danny asked.
Tucker and Sam both searched.
"Nope. She apparently keeps all of her projects a secret until she announces them to the public, or has confirmed them."
"Danny...what if her next project has to do with Amity Park's major ghost attacks?" Sam suddenly asked.
"Then he's screwed," Tucker joked. Danny took Tucker's PDA and ran out of the library, the out-of-shape techno-geek chasing him, crying about his "baby".

Allison was behind the curtain of a home-made stage made so that she could speak. Her green eyes sparkled as she talked to Mayor Masters.
"Thank you, my dear, for accepting my invitation to come and speak to us about your projects. You are quite an intelligent young lady from what I hear."
"Thank you," Allison said with a small blush. "I enjoy sharing my findings with the world. I don't keep all of the amazing, helpful secrets I've discovered locked up in my basement like a fruit loop would do."
Vlad's eyes noticeably twitched, but Allison didn't notice because her parents had come over to wish her good luck.
"How old are you exactly?" Vlad asked.
"How old are you?" Allison asked back.
"I asked you first."
"Sixteen. How old are you?"
"Older than you."
"That's not an answer!"
"Is too! Either way, I know a lovely ghost-hunting couple that would be thrilled to meet you. They're actually old college friends of mine, with two children."
"I'll talk to them after I give my public appearance," Allison promised.
"Allison honey! It's time to speak," her mother interrupted. While her mother walked away with the young genius, Vlad heard her mother tell her how it was not polite to ask old people like Vlad their age.

In the audience, our trio sat down in the chairs provided. Jack had mysteriously obtained an Allison T-shirt, giant foam finger, flags, hat with two containers to hold his root beer, and decorated the Fenton RV with this stuff. (Think Torrent of Terror, when Jack had all that crap on his RV for Vlad.)
Danny groaned in embarrassment as Jack began to cheer for Allison. Even Maddie was slowly scooting away from her husband and pretending to not know who he was. Jazz was sitting in the middle with friends. (We all know. JAZZ HAS FRIENDS!? Well yeah. She apparently does.)
Danny and his friends sat in the front with his mom. The trio all hoped that none of the inventions Allison was showing off would go off on him.
When Allison walked out on the stage clutching her piece of paper, Jack began to hoot and holler like an idiot. Everybody could see that Allison looked taken aback and stared at the large man cheering for her as if she was the world's most famous rock star.
She shook it off, still giving him an odd look as she walked and stood in front of the podium provided for her.
Wow. She's Gothic? Sam mused, surprised by the girl's choice in clothing. Dark green and black with a white lab coat over it.
Hot blond! Tucker thought to himself happily.
She's a lot younger than I though, Danny thought with surprise.
Allison tapped the microphone with her finger to make sure that it's working. When a loud weird sound came from it, she began to speak.
"Hello?"
When she heard her voice echo around her on the giant speakers, she began to talk.
"I would first like to thank Mr. Vlad Masters, Mayor of Amity Park, for inviting me to come here and speak before you today," she began.
Only half of the audience actually made an effort to clap. The trio exchanged a look. Figures Vlad was behind all this.
"My paranormal interest began when my older brother, Dante, died due to violent torture before being brutally murdered," Allison said. Her voice seemed a bit strained to admit that to the world. "He was fourteen, I was ten. I was dying to see him again, to hunt after the creatures that we call ghosts to see my brother again. I really loved him. We spent nearly all of our time together.
"I never did find the ghost of my brother. I believe that he has never become a zghost, or he had moved away from our home in Alabama to pursue happiness in the afterlife. I did, however, found my love for paranormal studies. Being a certified genius when I was seven, I entered college when I was twelve. I graduated only this year. During those four years of colleges, I proved a major theory of mine: The possibility that ghosts can take on a human form and discovered that some ghosts may have traces of their human DNA left in them since ghosts take on an ectoplasmic signature when they die and leave their human DNA behind. In rare cases, I now believe that some ghosts may have so much human DNA left behind in them, that they may be able to take on a human form and may be only partially dead, like a half-ghost."
"This is creepy," Sam commented softly to the two boys. Danny just nodded in agreement.
The talking went on for a little bit longer before Allison pulled out some of her paranormal hunting inventions. They were actually pretty impressive, even to the Fenton adults.
"How many of you would like to see Ms. Alya give a demonstration of one of her fantastic inventions?" Vlad suddenly asked. Danny then noticed that he was sitting in the front row too.
Many people agreed, so Allison picked up one of her impressive inventions and flipped the switch on. She had explained earlier on that this invention tracked down whatever paranormal creature within ten miles.
"It's acting up on me," Allison said with disappointment.
"How's it acting up?" Vlad called aloud.
The trio all began to panic slightly. They were sure that it was tracking Danny.
"It keeps pointing to you and two other members of the audience Mr. Masters," Allison explained.
Vlad's face was priceless when she told him that it was picking him up too. Danny and him knew that it was picking up them two, but who was the third person?
Allison smacked the invention, but it still showed the three people up. She felt so embarrassed, her invention acting up on her like this in public!
"Either way, I think I should put my invention aside and openly discuss my newest project," Allison said with a smile. "Before I begin, I think I should begin with the fact that I will be staying in Amity Park for a while."
Danny, Sam and Tucker exchanged looks of panic. If Allison stuck around for a while, then she would be more likely to run into the Fenton adults, who had already become her biggest fans. Even Jazz showed a great interest in her.
"I will be staying in Amity Park for the next few weeks, maybe even a couple of months, because my next project is finding out more about the famous Danny Phantom, The Wisconsion Ghost and study others on the side."
