I forgot to mention in the summary (or last chapter) that this takes place long after 'Destabilized' and Desasteriod never occurred, Danny is now about 16 years old. And Dani is still 12.(Decided to have her at that age for the upcoming chapters I'm planning)

Also I'll probably put like 3 more chapters this week if I can 'cuz I got no school this week. After the week is over and I enter Trimester 2, I'll try to update every two weeks or earlier if homework isn't taking up my time.

Next chapter I'll have both Danny and Dani bump into each other, and then have Dani realize that she's not stable again and so... (can't have the whole story spoiled, now can I?)

Special thanks to every one who read and reviewed. you guys Rock my World! :D

Now I give you CHAPTER 2!


Chapter 2:

Danny's POV:

School just ended for the day an hour ago so Sam, Tucker and I were at Nasty Burger just hanging out, taking advantage of the free time without any ghost attacks going on.

Tucker was babbling to Sam something about a new PDA that's coming out next month, so I just spaced out into my own thoughts, you see, during school I couldn't take out of my mind the fact that Dani is all alone out in the world, cold, probably hungry too. I just couldn't help thinking that it's all my fault for just leaving her go. But I promise I'll make it up to her by finding her, have her stay with me even if I had to force her to not leave. Probably have Tucker hack into government files and get her a birth certificate and the rest of her papers and-

"Danny", called Sam.

"Huh? uh, what", her voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Why haven't you said anything since we got here?", Tucker asked, a bit of worry shown on his face.

"Uh, I was thinking about something kinda personal, don't worry I can handle it", I answered barely believing my own words, I mean, how am I supposed to find Dani if she can be anywhere right now. But for now play it smooth Danny, play it smooth.

However Sam could see right through me, she was looking at me straight in the eye, watching my every move. It got to the point where it was really starting to creep me out, which was only about a minute when she suddenly began speaking that it startled me for a moment.

"Something is clearly bothering you Danny, you can trust us with anything and we'll be glad to help you if you ever need any", she said.

"Yeah man you know you can trust us with anything", agreed Tucker.

A moment of silence passed in between us as I hesitated to tell them what's going on. I decided to tell them later somewhere more private.

"I got to go guys, I'll tell you guys later about it", after that I got out of there, rather quickly, I then hid behind a dumpster and transformed into Danny Phantom. I flew into the air and planned to go to my lair and think things through.

How did I get my own lair you ask? Well let's just say it was thanks to Clockwork, with a little 'negotiation' from the Observants and voila. My lair is pretty much like a regular home with some torches that light up a blue flame, a cool black carpet and a ceiling that looks like a dome and has kind of like a projection of stars, it also has a master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen and of course a living room with a 50' HD TV with an XBOX360 and a PlayStation3.

I got home about five minutes later, phased into my room and transformed back to human. I dumped my backpack on the floor by my bed and approached the closet, you see, there are two entrances to my lair, one is in the closet (which only I can open) and the other is in the Ghost Zone. I opened the closet to find a green swirl of the portal and stepped into it.

When I got to the other side of the portal, a blur of green knocked me to the ground, and started to lick my cheek, I tried to get up but the weight suddenly got a whole lot heavier than what I expected. I looked up and I immediately knew who it was.

"Good boy Cujo, I'm glad to see you too but I'd like to stand up so I could give you a treat and then think about some other things in my mind regarding someone", I said as I struggled from the weight of his paw on my chest. Apparently, Cujo turned into his giant dog form after he knocked me to the ground.

After about what seemed like an eternity, I got Cujo to finally get his paw off my chest, turn back to his puppy form and then gave him a dog treat I bought at the supermarket. Eventually, Cujo fell asleep on the couch, but I didn't mind as long as it's not destroyed or pooped on. I went to my bedroom (which of course is the Master bedroom, but you already knew that) and laid down on the bed for a while to think. I rarely used this bed just to get away from all the stress from my life. I looked at the clock, it had only been 4:30PM.

If I'm going to have Dani live with me, where should it be? Am I ready for this responsibility? Well, she's technically my daughter because Vlad used my DNA to create her, but how did she end up as a girl? Unless Vlad experimented using DNA from someone else and mixed it with mine to create Dani, if he did, then who's DNA did he use? But the real question was, could I handle it?

I pondered over all these thoughts, that when I looked at the clock again it was 7:15PM. Wow, time sure flies by, I thought to myself. Well time to go back. Mom and Dad are probably worried about me not coming home yet, especially Jazz. I guess I'll think about my solutions sometime later.

But one thing's clear, I have to find Dani..


I decided to end it there so I can have the next chapter work in the story. Don't worry, I'll update very soon. :D
