Chapter 1: Just A Normal Day(Dani)

It was a peaceful day in Amity Park-until a huge CRASH! sound came.

In the smoking remains of what was once a skyscraper, a sixteen-year-old girl struggled out of the rubble. Her snowy white hair, tied back in a high ponytail, was dirty with soot and had pieces of rubble lodged in her spiky bangs. Her two-piece black and white hazmat suit was slightly torn, but the symbol on her chest-a speeding white D with a P inside-was undamaged, and she had cuts on her that were bleeding ectoplasm. But she looked at the ghost she was fighting with fire, fearlessness and determination still burning in her glowing green eyes.

"That all you got, Wolfy?" Dani taunted, floating up from the rubble, hands blazing green with ghostly energy, glaring at the snarling ghost wolf in front of her.

The wolf barked and lunged at her, but Dani dodged out of the way.

"Missed!" she cried, floating up higher in the air. "Now it's my turn!"

Dani thrusted her black-gloved hand out to face the wolf and fired a ghost ray at the wolf. The wolf tried to dodge, but the ghost ray struck the wolf square in the chest. It yelped and crumbled to the road.

Dani floated down in front of the wolf and was about to suck the wolf inside her Fenton Thermos when a second wolf suddenly returned to visibility and lunged at her.

Catching her by surprise, Wolf #2 slammed Dani to the ground, it's claws making deep scratches in Dani's back.

Dani rolled over, forcing Wolf #2 to leap back, but before Dani could recover, Wolf #1 pounced on her, keeping her pinned to the ground. Dani had to use all of her ghostly strength to keep the wolf from biting her face off, it's green saliva dripping into her face. Her thermos had been knocked away from her when Wolf #2 had tackled her to the ground, and with Wolf #1 on top of her, and her using all her ghostly strength just to keep the ghost wolf ba-

Wait. Duh, ghost powers.

Dani suddenly turned intangible and phased through the road, surprising and confusing both Wolf #1 and Wolf #2. They barked at each other in confusion as Wolf #2 loped back to Wolf #1, neither wolves noticing that Dani had phased back up through the ground behind them.

Turning invisible, Dani sneaked to her dropped Fenton Thermos and grabbed it. Extending her invisibility to it, Dani sneaked back to her original position and returned back to visibility as the wolves began snapping and snarling at each other.

"Looking for me?" Dani asked innocently.

Both wolves turned around at her voice and snarled at her. Crouching, they both lunged at her, but Dani just went intangible. They passed harmlessly through her and landed behind her. Confused, the wolves looked back at Dani as she returned to tangibility, smirking.

"Guess you can't teach a dog new tricks," Dani quipped.

The wolves growled at her and prepared to attack her again, but before they could, Dani dropped to the floor and swept her leg around, sending out a curved energy strike to the wolves. The curved energy strike hit the wolves square on and they collapsed to the ground, finally defeated.

Dani smirked and stood up. Walking up to the wolves, Dani uncapped her Fenton Thermos and pointed it straight at them, the uncapped end glowing an eerie blue colour.

"Time to send you two back to the doghouse," Dani said, and with final howls of defeat, the blue ghost-capturing beam sucked the two wolves inside.

Dani capped the thermos and grinned at her accomplishment, before wincing as she looked back at the demolished skyscraper.

"Oh man. Hope that the company that owned that skyscraper are insured," Dani muttered.

She looked down, feeling guilty, and heard a beeping.

Pulling back her white glove from her wrist, Dani's eyes widened at seeing the time on her watch.

"Crud! I'm going to be late for school!" Dani exclaimed.

Jumping into the air, Dani activated her flight power as she hurriedly flew to school, dropping to a nearby building to grab her school bag that she placed there before her fight with the ghost wolves, and continued her flight to school, panicking.

Why, why, why did I take that fight so far from school?

Eventually, Dani could see Casper High and she breathed out a sigh of relief.

Thank heavens.

Dani dived toward the school and turned intangible, phasing through the roof of the school and headed towards the girls' bathroom, phasing through the door. After quickly checking that no one was in there, Dani changed back to human form, Dani Fenton, and quickly ran out of the bathroom, sprinting towards the classroom where her first class was in.

Come on, come on, come on. You can make, you can make it, you can make it, Dani chanted to herself, trying to make it before the bell. She skidded around a corner and smiled when she saw that the classroom was only a sprint away.

YES! Dani cheered. She looked at her watch and grinned when she saw she only had a minute until the bell ran. Double YES!

Dani ran to the classroom and managed to open the door and run in just as the bell rang.

Everyone in her English class looked at her as her teacher, Mr. Lancer, said, "Ah, thank you for joining us, Miss. Fenton."

"Sorry, Mr. Lancer. My normal bus broke down and I had to take a detour," Dani lied, playing with her fingers nervously.

Mr. Lancer sighed heavily.

"Well, since you arrived before the bell rang, I'll let this slide. But next time, I won't be so lenient. You don't want to have the same reputation as your brother, now."

Dani nodded.

"Yes, sir-I mean no sir-I mean… I'll sit next to Tash," Dani said, walking to where one of her best friends, Natasha "Tash" Hall was sitting at the back.

As she walked up to her, Dani let out a scream as she tripped over something and landed on the floor. The entire class laughed and Dani glared hotly at the person who tripped her… Cynthia Baxter.

"Miss. Fenton!" Mr. Lancer yelled. "I don't appreciate you disrupting my class!"

"Sorry, Mr. Lancer," Dani apologised. She stood up and glared daggers at Cynthia.

I'll get you for this, she thought as she walked to her seat and sat down, slumping forward.

She felt something poking her arm and looked to see Tash gently poking her arm with her pencil, her brown eyes concerned.

"Hey, Dani, are you okay?"

"Yes… no," Dani admitted, closing her eyes as she rested her head on her arms.

"Why do you look so tired?" Dani's other friend, Connor Jameson, asked her as he twisted around in his seat to look at her. Next to him, Dani's third friend, Erin Morrow, punched him in the arm.

"Ow!"

"Connor! What kind of an idiot question is that!? Can't you see that she's dead on her feet?" Erin hissed at him, her red eyes flashing. She then got a look of realisation on her face as she looked at Dani apologetically. "Sorry, I didn't mean-"

"It's okay, Erin," Dani interrupted, smiling tiredly at her. She looked at Connor and said, "To answer your question, the reason I look so tired is because I hardly got any sleep last night. Not to mention that I had to fight two ghost wolves earlier today that took me to the industrial part of town and I had to fly all the way back to Casper High just so that I didn't miss the bell."

Dani groaned again and banged her head lightly on the desk. Unfortunately, that caused her intangibility power to activate and her head almost phased through the desk.

Dani let out a startled yelp and hurriedly pulled her head out of her desk and returned it to tangibility, just as the class turned to look in her direction.

Dani, Tash, Connor and Erin immediately bent down and began writing notes, which caused everyone to look back at the board and do their own thing, not interested anymore.

As soon as everyone wasn't looking, Dani dropped her pen and buried her face into her hands.

"I just don't know how Danny managed to do this," Dani said, her voice muffled from her hands.

"Girl, it sounds like you need a break," Tash said.

"But I can't! Amity Park needs Dani Phantom, now that Danny, Sam, Tucker, Valerie and Jazz are at college. I just… have to balance everything," Dani said, slumping further.

"Hey, if it's so hard, we can help you take some of the load off your shoulders. I, for one, have always wanted to kick ghost butt and use one of your parents' ecto-guns," Erin offered, Tash and Connor nodding in agreement.

Dani smiled at them.

"Thanks for the offer, guys, but I can't ask you to do this. It's too dangerous."

"And your brother and his friends started fighting ghosts at fourteen. We're sixteen," Erin countered.

"Yeah, but…"

"Come on, Dani! You know we've wanted to fight ghosts with you ever since you trusted us with your secret," Tash said.

"Maybe I might learn some moves to keep Erin from constantly hitting me," Connor said. At that, Erin frowned and punched him in the arm again. "Ow!"

"Look, the point is, we don't care about the risks. We want to help you fight ghosts. If Danny allowed his two closest friends and his sister to help him fight ghosts, why not us?" Erin asked Dani. Tash and Connor gave Dani hopeful looks.

Dani sighed reluctantly. "Since I know I can't win this argument, I'll think about it."

"Yes!" Erin, Tash and Connor cheered, high-fiving each other.

"But, if I find any reason that ghost fighting is too dangerous for you guys, I'm not letting you fight ghosts with me," Dani finished.

"We can work with that," Tash said, smiling at her before she, Erin and Connor resumed work.

Dani smiled at that before also resuming her work, trying to finish it, as everyone around her prepared for another boring day, hoping that a ghost attack would come and they would see Dani Phantom, Danny Phantom's partner, little sister, and successor, fight off any ghosts.

Dani, however, was hoping that no ghosts would attack and she would have to transform into Dani Phantom. But knowing her luck, there would be ghost attacks going off every second period and every minute at lunch. She would fight off ghosts on her way back home, and once inside, try to do her chores, play some games, watch some TV, have a normal dinner, get ready for bed and try to finish her homework before going on annual patrol before heading back and trying to get at least a couple of hours of sleep, though her ghost sense would make sure she fought off the ghosts that would possibly interrupt her sleep, and then, start her day anew tomorrow.

Just a normal day.

Okay, so this will be done in three parts. The first is Dani, the second is Haley and the third is June. Then, only a few more chapters until they meet each other!
