HALOOOOOOO :P

Second Chapter of We're A Family is now up, I think I have more coming, but I am going to edit and fix things before posting more. They will probably be up a little later today anyway though, since I have been slaving over my Keyboard to work on this for the past 2 days~

Read on and Review if you have time my fellow Fanfiction friends!

Danny POV

My body was burning with heat. I couldn't see straight. I felt light headed and nauseous. My heart was beating a million miles an hour in my chest, threatening to jump out of my throat. I was sore all over and felt like I wouldn't be able to move. Even so, a strong determination welled up within me and I pushed myself up.

Where had I fallen asleep? I looked down and saw that I was several meters off the ground and sitting on a tree branch. Slowly and carefully I called upon the blue rings and let them travel across my body. Unlike the other ties when I transformed, I was not overcome with a sense of cold like it should have, but a strong heat washed over me instead. My head began pounding and I almost went against what I was planning to do, but that strong need and determination to get to where I needed to overcame the feeling.

Wait…where was I going? Where was I right now?

'I need to get back…' a voice said in my head. Wait, back where? Did I go on an unconscious sleep flight last night? 'I need to get back to Amity…' it said again. 'back to Danny…'

My body lifted off the branch and I flew up slowly into the air, but I wasn't the one controlling myself, no, this was someone else.

I gasped.

"DANIELLE!" I shouted, jolting myself out of the dream. My heart was pounding, but I wasn't hot, nor was I light headed or dizzy. I looked around my room, then looked at my clock. It read 6am. Whoa…I hadn't been up this early in the morning on my own unless a ghost was attacking the city again.

An image from the dream suddenly flashed into my mind. Reminding me of what had woken me up.

"If that really was something to do with Danielle, then I need to find her…" I muttered softly to myself.

There was a light thumping noise on my door. "Danny? Are you okay?"

Ah, typical worrywart Jazz. Probably wondering why I shouted the feminine version of my name to the sky.

"I'm fine, Jazz." I said.

She opened to door a crack. "Can I come in?" she asked, poking her head into the room. Seeing my sister's concerned look on her face made me sigh. It was so like Jazz to worry like she does.

"Sure, go ahead, since you are technically already in." I said, giving her a cheeky grin.

She rolled her green-blue eyes and then smiled me. "Witty remarks as usual, little brother?" She asked, walking into the room and closing the door behind her.

"Would you expect anything else?" I asked, the grin never leaving my face as I crossed y arms across my chest. "So what do you need?" I asked her finally after a moment of silence in the room.

She sighed and then walked over and sat on the foot of my bed. "Danny, this is the fifth time this week that you have woken up like this. Albeit that they were all later in the afternoon, but you get what I mean."

"And I am going to take a stab in the dark at this, you think that the dreams mean something, right?"

"You catch on quickly as usual don't you little brother?" She asked.

"No, I can just read your mind." I said in a smart tone, making her frown. I started laughing at her, knowing what was going through her head. It was too easy. The only reason that I was able to tell what she was going to say was because I have lived with her for the 17 years of my life that I have been around and that she is easy to read, almost like a book. "And before you say anything," I said through laughs, "No this is not a new ghost power, nor has it ever been."

"Then how do you-"

"Jazz, for one, your my sister, I have known you for all 14 years of my life and the other 3 years of my half-life, I'm pretty sure that I would be able to know what you were going to say. And secondly, Your face is way too easy to ready, only one person wouldn't be able to read what you were feeling, or rater thinking, and that would more than likely be dad, since he…well, you know."

She gave an accepting nod, like she was taking in what I had just told her.

"And before you ask the question that you were going to ask, I'll give you an answer." I said. "Yes, I am very worried about Danielle. Maybe my dreams are something that I should be paying attention to. I was planning on going and looking for her later with Sam and Tucker if they wanted to go. But I need someone to stay here and be ready for anything in case I am too far away to make it."

Jazz once again gave a thoughtful nod. "I can understand that, but when you find her what are we going to do about the whole mom and dad issue?" She asked. "I have no doubts that they'll be asking questions as to why there would be a small 8 year old girl who looks almost exactly like a carbon copy of you in the house."

"That's where the problem starts." I said. "I don't know what I will do once I find her…" I could feel my protective side kick in and it started shouting things at me in my head. You need to make sure that she doesn't leave! You know that you've been so worried about her! She's way more than just a cousin, and you know that! I knew that all those words that were there were true. I knew that I couldn't let her fly off again. She needed a home, one that wouldn't leave her for anything. But how would I be able to convince her to stay?

"Danny?" I heard Jazz's voice snap me out of the fugue state that I had been going into, pulling me out of my thoughts. "Danny are you still with me here?" My vision focused and I could see that Jazz was waving her hand in front of my eyes and I shook the rest of the thoughts out of my head.

"Yeah, sorry, I spaced out there for a minute."

"Really? I hadn't noticed." She deadpanned.

This time it was my turn to roll my eyes. "Smart aleck" she retorted with a 'you're one to talk' and I continued. "So do you mind if I get dressed? Preferably with you out of the room."

She looked away a moment and said, "Oh, yeah…sorry." She said and then got up, leaving my room and closing the door behind her.

I went down the stairs after changing into my clothes. My outfit had changed considerably since my freshman and sophomore years. My red and white tee became one of those turtleneck/tee-shirts, it was black, white and green, courtesy of Sam wanting to help with my wardrobe. My pants were still jeans, but they were a darker blue and my sneakers were black, and actually they were more comfortable than the previous red converse.

As a joke, though, Sam had stitched my Danny Phantom symbol on the shirt, no one had caught on to the resemblance though, because half of Amity Park had some king of Danny Phantom Merchandise, which I never approved of, of course, but then again, I didn't really care.

Jazz's outfit had flipped colors, making her shirt blue and her pants black, but she had changed it up a bit too, but her top, like mine, had morphed into a blue and white turtleneck/tee-shirt, however hers was clearly more fussed with than mine was, since Jazz was definitely a bit OCD.

Mom and Dad weren't downstairs, and the lab wasn't smoking so they obviously weren't down there. "Hey Jazz, are mom and dad still sleeping?" I questioned as I sat down at the table after pouring myself a bowl of cereal.

"I'm not sure, probably, I mean, nothing exploded this morning, so their either there or they went out before we got up. Which I highly doubt because dad walking around in the morning can even wake you up, and that really takes some effort."

"True." I stated plainly. "Dad is like…Cujo looking for his squeaky toy. Destructive."

Jazz laughed at my comment. "So true!" She said through giggles.

I grinned, It was nice being able to wake up and not deal with Mom and Dad's ghost equipment honing in on me first thing in the morning. "So are you going to be able to stay here, or are you going elsewhere to study for today Bookworm?" I asked. Jazz had graduated and since she had been studying to get into the college of her choice, she decided to take a year off and even still she had been studying every day, thus earning her the nickname of bookworm.

"I'll stay here, I can wait for you to get back and study at the same time, of course if you need me at any time I'm just a phone call away." She told me.

"I know, I was just making sure." I said, standing up. I finished my cereal and took the dishes to the sink, placing them there.

"I have to meet up with Sam and Tuck soon so we can head to Casper, I'll see you later, and more than likely after curfew, but when does that ever change?" I said with a grin.

Jazz nodded and waved to me. "Be safe little brother." She said.

"Hey, it's not like I go out looking for trouble, it just happens to find me." Jazz gave me a sympathetic look.

"I know, Danny, just be careful, okay?"

"Since when am I not careful?"

That comment earned me an earnest glare from my older sister.

"Okay, Okay, geez…."

And on that note I left my house, heading to Sam's to meet up with her.
