In Time

Chapter 1

After a ghost attack, Samantha Mason and Maddie Fenton are dead. The Halfas make a wish…

I don't own Danny Phantom.

"I was dreaming when I wrote this,

Forgive me if it goes astray
but when I woke up this morning

Could a sworn is was judgment day
the sky was all a purple

There were people running everywhere
trying to run from their destruction,

And no I didn't even care
they say two thousand zero zero

party's over oops out of time
So tonight I'm gonna party like its 1999
They say two thousand zero zero,

Party's over oops out of time
so tonight I'm gonna cry like its 1999."

Prince, 1999

Amity Park-

The battle between ghost and human raged through the night. As the sun rose on that bloody Saturday it appeared to any survivors like Judgment Day had passed and God had proclaimed humans unworthy of heaven.

As the sun rose, the sky took on a shade of brilliant purple, illuminating the faces of the dead.

A single raven-haired boy was kneeling beside the body of his best friend. Sam Mason had died fighting. Daniel Fenton was one of the few people who survived the battle. Like most of them, Danny wished he hadn't.

A few feet away, Vlad Masters stood over the body of the woman he loved. He stared at her with disbelieving eyes. Maddie Fenton was dead. She would never smile again, never laugh at Vlad's attempts to woo her. He would never tell her how he felt for her. Maddie Fenton was dead.

"No…" the Halfas unknowingly muttered in unison.

"If only…" Vlad began.

"I wish…" Danny started.

"I could start over…" Vlad and Danny whispered simultaneously.

Their pleas were overheard by a ghostly woman who watched them with pitying eyes.

"So you wish it, so it shall be."

Vlad and Danny's world swirled away in a barrage of colors. The world held its breath as they were hurled backwards in time.

10:00, Fenton house

"Danny, Jazz, come down here! We are trying out the Fenton Ghost Portal!" called Jack Fenton.

Danny sighed. On his way downstairs he stopped by his sister's room.

"Jazz? Aren't you coming?" he asked.

"Yeah, right, Danny. I have homework to do." Danny shrugged. He continued on his way.

Danny heard his father talk about how the "Fenton Ghost Portal" worked. Danny zoned out. His mother and father were obsessed with ghosts. He and Jazz didn't really believe in them, but who would?

Maddie and Jack Fenton plugged the portal in. They waited… and waited… and waited some more. The couple sighed in disappointment.

"We'll try again tomorrow," suggested Jack. He and Maddie walked upstairs, not noticing their son still hadn't left the lab.

Danny looked the portal over, wondering what went wrong. Not that his parent's inventions usually worked, but he had a weird feeling about this one…

The portal was roughly the size of a van. It was built two meters (six feet) into the wall. The 'frame' was made of iron and the inside looked unnervingly like an eye.

Danny was about to go inside of it, but he remembered the lab suits his parents wore. They supposedly protected a person from ectoplasm (Or getting electrocuted).

He had gotten a suit like that the year before, but he wasn't sure if it still fit. He rummaged through a few drawers until he found it.

It was base white and had a black collar, gloves, belt and boots. His parents forgot about it because it was way too big for him when they first got it. Danny put the suit on.

Walking into the portal, he tripped on something and he fell against the wall. He accidentally hit the "on" button. Electricity surged through his body. Danny Fenton feinted.

Danny groaned. He slowly opened his eyes. Where was he? Then it all came back to him, the suit, the machine, the-

"Damn, was I electrocuted!" demanded the fallen teen. He decided to look in the mirror, the last time he messed with one of his parents inventions his hair turned blonde for a week.

He ran to the mirror, reflected there was a boy with white hair and ghostly green eyes, what's more, his suit had changed colors, where it once was black, it was white, and vise versa.

Danny stared at his reflection with a weird sense of déjà vu. His memories came flooding back. He remembered the woman's whisper. It must have been Desiree. His ghostly eyes sparkled with hope. He had another chance.

Wisconsin-

Vlad Masters sat in his office fingering a picture of Maddie Fenton.

"If you can't love me like a spouse, then you'll love me like a sibling," he sighed, "Better that than nothing, after all."

He picked up the phone on the table beside him.

"Operator? Get me Maddie Fenton."
