And here we are with the second chapter. Enjoy my dear readers.
An insane man laughed wholeheartedly. His face almost seemed to be in intense pleasure.
The dead body of a child laid on the ground, blood pooling under her rapidly.
A persons backside was all that was in the visible spectrum.
"Leave. I won't ask again."
Danny opened his eyes. That dream again. Who were those people? We're they even real? Or were they from some movie he watched with Sam and Tucker? He didn't know. But for some reason, he felt like he should have. He got up from bed luckily today was a weekend, meaning no school. It also meant that he could go to the hospital.
Beep...
Beep...
Beep...
The heart monitor made a steady beeping sound. Indicating the person it was attached to was not in any danger.
It had been two days since that storm. Two days since they found that man in that crater. And since the moment that man went unconscious. He seemed to know Jazz.
'But how?' Danny wonders to himself as he looks at the man. Said man had a very familiar face but for some reason Danny was unable to identify him.
Danny turned his head towards the window. It was quite the peaceful day. Actually there had been no ghosts since that storm.
There was something about this man for he gave Danny a very odd feeling. It was similar to the feeling he got when there was a ghost around him but also different. Very different. He couldn't really put his hands on the word that could describe that feeling though.
"You're already here? I expected you to be sleeping in today." a voice interrupted his thoughts. It was his sister, Jazz.
"Your telling me? Didn't you say that you had a lot of studying to catch up on? Why are you here?" retorted back Danny but they both knew that he didn't mean any disrespect by it.
"I'm not sure. For some reason I can't leave this guy alone. Besides he seemed to know me and considering he went through such a traumatic experience I thought he needs to see a familiar face when he wakes up." The adult in the room explained. Her reasoning and explanation as sound as ever.
Typical Jazz.
"Aaaggghhhh".
Surprised by the sudden groan, Danny and jazz both snapped their head towards the patient. Who seemed to be waking up. Talk about timing.
"Did anyone get the number of the asteroid that hit me?" His crystal blue eyes came into view to the teenagers.
A single thought went through Jazz's mind.
'That voice... But how?'
The man turned to face Danny and leaned towards him a little bit making Danny lean back, his personal space was being invaded here!
"Wow I haven't looked so young in a long time. What is this? An enchanted mirror?" he put a hand on Danny's face. Then squeezed it a little bit
Danny's eyebrow twitched in annoyance at the sudden contact. "Dude!" And slapped the mans hand off his face. Did he he brain damage or something?
"Okay. Not an enchanted mirror." the man deadpanned. His face instantly changed to a cheeky grin. "Hey kid. How are you? I'm you."
"Eh?" Danny made a shocked face. The fu-?
"Where's Danny. I want to show him this new ghost weapon I made." Jack asked his wife, pulling out a green rope that said MADE IN FENTON WORKS on it on bold letters. "I call it THE FENTON ROPE!"
"Dear. That's just a regular rope." Maddie raised an eye brow at her husband then sighed but smiled nonetheless. Then she returned to tweaking the Fenton Bazooka. "He went to the hospital to check out on that guy that was struck by lightening a couple of days ago. Don't you remember dear?"
"Oh right. But what if he's a ghost? Our son might be in trouble!" the behemoth of a man bellowed.
"Don't worry dear hes our son he can handle it." Maddie told her husband. Then she turned on the bazooka in her hands, striking a pose while at it. "Besides he has us to back him up!"
Jack grinned at her. "Man Your HOT!"
The front door suddenly opened and in came Danny and Jazz "We're home!"
But it weren't they who spoke. Another man came in from behind the two teens. It was the same man that was struck by lightening a couple of days ago.
"Hello there!" Jack greeted the man putting out his hand to shake like a gentleman. "I'm Jack Fenton. Nice to meet you!"
The man shook Jacks hand with a smile. "I never thought I'd be seeing you two again."
"Do we know you by any chance?" Maddie asked. She took off her googles to take a better look at the man.
"You look really familiar ." even Jack looked a little confused.
"I'm hurt. You don't even recognize your own son?" was the reply they got.
"... What?" they both asked in perfect sync.
"Mom Dad. That's me. Danny." Danny explained.
"From the future." Future Danny waved his hand in emphasis. "Of an alternate reality."
"What?" Jack looked confused.
"It is what is." Future Danny shrugged. "I mean we are in a world where ghosts attack in broad daylight when about every ghost story said that ghosts attack at night. also an entire closed yet forever expanding space where ghost 'live' exist for peets sake. Alternate realities aren't that far fetched."
"Well the existence of alternate realities were always a long shot for it was never once quite proved real but it is the same basic principals as the Ghost Zone." Maddie thought out loud.
"Well now. Guess there is only one thing to do" Jack grinned. "Welcome home, son!"
Jazz could have swore she saw the other Danny's body tense a little bit. Being a psychiatrist required to be able to notice the smallest of things that the patient gave them for said patient may not always give the kind of information necessary to help the patient.
Did this Danny have something to hide? This was technically her little brother she was thinking about. He wouldn't hide anything from her...
Would he?
Danny was sitting on the table he Tucker and Sam usually sat on. While the other Danny was getting their order and since the other Danny was he himself Danny didn't have to tell the other Danny what to bring.
Three Nasty Burgers for Tucker and a Large Salad for Sam and since Danny himself wasn't an eater just a regular sized burger. he couldn't help but inwardly smile to himself thinking how shocked Sam and Tucker would be when they meet his 'surprise'.
"Hey Danny what's up?" He felt a hand resting on his back but he didn't turn around cause he already knew that it was Tucker.
"Oh you know the usual." Danny said as Tucker and Sam sat down opposite from him.
"So where is the guy you wanted us to meet?" Sam asked.
"He's getting our order." Danny said.
"Oh. Is he Ok-?* Tucker was unable to finish his sentence as a palm pressed the back of his head and not so softly nor too forcefully shove his head on the table.
"Who did that?!" I'll have you know that I am the mayor of this town." Tucker snapped.
It was the other Danny. The other Danny mockingly gasped. "Such Sass! And here I thought you hadn't changed. Hello Tucker."
After sitting down he glanced at Sam with a smile that could annoy anyone and said. "Hello to you to Samantha."
Sam inwardly growled at the man. Why was he acting so friendly with them? And why the fuck did he call her Samantha of all things?! If he wasn't older than her and was good looking she would have introduced her boot to His face.
Tucker meanwhile was gawking at the other Danny. "D-Danny? Is that you?!"
"Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!" The other Danny cheered. "Right on the first try. Give the guy a prize!"
Sam blinked in confusion what?
Danny pushed Tucker's food in front of him making the African American teen gawk at all the meat, drooling slightly at it.
"Wait what's going on?" Sam asked.
"He's me." Danny told his girlfriend.
"From the future." Danny paused for a dramatic effect. "Of an alternate reality."
"How do you know for sure your from an alternate reality?" Tucker couldn't stop himself from asking. The nerd in him compelled him to.
"Well for one I don't remember any of this happening to me." The other Danny said.
Sam narrowed her eyes in suspicion. "How do we know for sure your who you say you are?"
The other Danny grinned(Que Rape face) while Danny blushed crimson, avoiding eye contact as well.
"Well I just know." Danny avoided a direct answer.
Sam didn't look convinced but decided not to press the matter too much for now.
Tucker was too busy eating but pitched in on the conversation. "Hey Danny."
"Yes?" Both Danny's ask simultaneously then share a look with each other.
"Boy this is gonna get annoying. " Sam face palmed.
"I have a solution for that. You guys can call me Dan." the now known 'Dan' spoke.
All three teenagers eye brows twitched simultaneously. Why would he want to be called that?!
"By the way." Dan began then wiggled his eye brows. "Like the new look Tuck the ladies must be waiting in line for ya like a newly released chick flick. And your the main attraction."
Tucker made a face that showed pride in the compliment but shoulders slumped in depression.
"If only man." Tucker said.
Dan mock gasped then turned to Danny with wide eyes. "You haven't gotten your best friend to have a girlfriend?! What kind of an unfeeling monster are you?!"
Danny just rolled his eyes at his older counterpart.
"As I was saying." Tucker slowly began. "Aren't you going to eat anything?"
"My food is on its way." Dan replied. "And speaking of the devil."
The waiter put a large tray of food in front of Dan.
Both Sam and Danny could only gawk at the numerous junk food bur Tucker had stars in his eyes.
"Let's see... 8 Nasty Beef Budgets 6 Nasty Chicken Burger's 4 fries and an ultra large deluxe Soda. Anything else?" The waiter asked.
"Nope. Right down to the letter good job my friend." Dan rubbed his hands and picked up one if the beef burger's.
Danny slowly glanced at his girlfriend who looked really really angry.
Really Angry
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Sam all but yelled at Dan.
Dan blinked once at Sam then proceeded to take a a bite out of the burger and chewed it. Then swallowed it, never taking his eyes off her as he did so which infuriated the goth to no end. "What? I'm hungry."
"There's at least ten animals your plate and that's all you have to say?!" Sam yelled.
Danny noticed that no one was paying attention to them. Obviously her daily arguments with Tucker already told them that she yelled a lot for no reason.
"Look just because you don't eat meat doesn't mean that we shouldn't as well and you have no right to force your interests on us." Dan said.
Sam was about to retort but before she could say anything Tucker stopped her.
"FINALLY!" Tucker looked as if his life long dream came true. "After all these years you finally take my side!"
Dan couldn't help but stare at the African American teen for a little bit till he started laughing. His laughter became contagious as Tucker and Danny began to laugh as well.
Sam was still angry but considering this is technically the man she fell in love with couldn't stay mad for long and joined in on the laughing.
'One could get used to this.' Danny thought to himself.
Ah this reminds me of my high school days. Good times. Good times. On a side note I don't how how long this story will be in chapters but I am pretty sure that it won't exceed more than 60k+ words. This story is sort of like a battery to jump start my brain so that I can start finishing my other stories.
