Jake Phantom vs. Shadow
After a day of patrol without Shadow (Jake decided to give his alter ego a day off hoping Abby would realize how much she needs him) Danny and Abby return home.
"Danny. Abby. How was patrol today?" Sam asks.
"Box Ghost, Skulker. The usual." Danny replies.
"Did Shadow appear?" Sam asks.
"Fortunately we didn't see the likes of him today." Abby answers.
"Abby, don't talk like that. You should give him a chance. And where's Jake?" Danny asks.
"Upstairs. He's deciding where in his room is the best place to keep the stupid lava lamp he just bought this afternoon." Sam answers.
Suddenly a ghost-like figure appears dressed like Danny Phantom but with a JP emblem instead of the DP one Danny wears.
"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Jake Phantom!" Jake announces.
Jake lands and two white rings reveal his human form as Jake Fenton.
"Brother. You now also have ghost powers!? When did you get them?" Abby asks.
"This morning when I wished for them." Jake answers.
"Don't be ridiculos, son. How can someone have ghost powers by wishing..." Danny then remembers about Tucker Phantom and fears Desiree had granted Jake's wish but before he voices his thoughts Jake answers Danny's question.
"I rubbed my lava lamp and a genie came out of it. Would you like to meet him?"
Hearing their son describe the genie as 'him' made Danny and Sam relieved that it was not Desiree but they are still worried about how this male genie might have twisted Jake's wish.
Danny now holds a Fenton Thermos held on his back. "Yes, Jake." He starts thinking. "I don't know what this new ghost genie is up to but I won't let him ruin Jake's life like Desiree almost did to Tucker."
Sam is also thinking. "By what Danny and Tucker told me about when Desiree granted Tucker's wish for ghost powers I hope Jake doesn't follow down the same path."
They enter Jake's room and see Norm the Genie (if you have no idea of who he is you're not a Fairly OddParents fan) hovering in midair.
"Abby, Mom and Dad, this is Norm, an all powerful genie. Norm, these are my sister, my Mom and my Dad." Jake says.
"Nice to meet you, guys." A bored Norm says.
"Nice to meet you, Norm." Danny says and then pulls the Fenton Thermos and points it at Norm. "Now I wish you enter on this thermos peacefully."
Norm is confused. "Hey, what makes you think I must grant this wish?"
Danny is also confused. "Don't you have to grant every wish you hear regardless of who makes it?"
"Which kind of genie you think I am?" Norm asks.
"A ghost one, like Desiree?" Danny asks.
Norm is angry at the suggestion he's a ghost. "How dare you? Desiree is just an exception of the rule about us, genies being immortal. I'm a living genie. Like all of us, I grant three wishes to whoever rubs the lamp, in this case your son, who used up his first one to obtain a Phantom-like ghostly alter ego. Once all other two are also used up I'll be sucked back to the lamp, where I'll wait until another person rubs it."
Danny is scared at Norm's reaction. "Sorry, Norm." He then talks to Jake. "Son, which exact words did you use when you made the wish?"
"I've just shown him an image of Jake Phantom I made at my computer, a list of ghost powers I know you have, and wished for a ghostly alter ego with that look and these powers." Jake explains.
"Since when you have this drawing?" Danny asks.
"I made them a long time ago." Jake explains. "I've always dreamed about having ghost powers and envied you and Abby because you had them while I didn't have." Jake notices Danny's worried look. "Dad, what's wrong? Don't you like I also have ghost powers?"
"It's not that, Jake. Is that when we were kids, Matt's Dad wished for ghost powers and a genie-like ghost named Desiree heard the wish and granted it. She twisted the wish on a way these powers combined with Tuck's jealously resulted in a disaster. I had to use the Fenton Ghost Catcher to make Tucker human again. But it seems your wish was specific enough to avoid that problem." Danny explains.
"Now I understand your worries." Norm says.
"Are you still here, Norm?" Danny asks.
"Didn't you hear me, Danny? I must grant your son three wishes before being pulled back to the lamp and he only made one." Norm explains.
"That brings about the second wish." Jake shows a design of a safe big enough to put the lava lamp inside it and writes a list of things to describe it. "I wish I had a safe that matches the one described in this computer file."
Norm is annoyed there's no way to twist the wish. "Your wish is my command." GONGs a safe. "This safe has a digital code, no ghosts can phase through it, I'm free to get in and out it without having to open it and whoever who types a wrong code trying to open it will get a schock."
Jake then chooses a code for the safe and locks the magic lamp inside it.
"Well thought, Jake." Danny says.
"Thanks, Dad. Now that I have ghost powers will you train me?" Jake asks.
"Later, son. First we'll analyze your body to be sure there's no problem about how you obtained them." Danny says.
Jake feels like his Dad isn't so happy about his powers but agrees to the tests anyway. After that Danny suggests him to fly through the town to show there's a new Phantom.
Will Jake Fenton forsake his former ghost self? Will Norm cause any trouble? Will Abby and the Red Huntresses accept Jake as an ally? How will Matt and Dani react about Jake's choice? Find the answers in the next chapter.
