anyway, on to the story
(Two months later)
Johnny has been taking care of Danny for two months now and has helped the young ghost learn the basics of being a ghost, but there were a few things Johnny found odd about Danny. Danny gets tired and sleeps like a living human, and he eats regularly like one too. Ghosts mainly only sleep or eat to heal, so Danny appetite and sleeping pattern was strange.
Over the two months Johnny learned Danny was very smart for a six year old kid, and was helpful when Johnny was working on his bike in the garage, but like all young kids Danny liked to cause trouble every now and then by pulling pranks on him and Shadow and Shadow loved to teach the kid new tricks. Danny has also decided to call himself Danny Phantom since Johnny said he could chose a new name as a ghost. But in all Danny has grown on them, and Johnny found that he really didn't regret helping the kid and then taking him in that day.
"Daddy" Johnny smiled and looked to the garage door where Danny stood rubbing his eyes from just waking up... another thing is that Danny has taken to calling him his dad, and it warmed Johnny very Core every time he heard the kid call him that. Johnny looked at his watch and frowned, it was only two in the morning, Danny didn't usually wake until eight.
"What's up little bud" Johnny asked as he walked over to the small kid.
"I had a nightmare" Danny said in a tired pout. Johnny frowned before picking the white haired kid up and walking to the living room where he sat down with Danny on his lap with his head resting on Johnnys chest.
"Do you want to tell me about it" Johnny asked quietly, Danny just shook his head no before snuggling closer to Johnny and closing his eyes again. Johnny sighed, Danny never told him about his nightmares even if he rarely had them, he would always come to him and then fall back to sleep while Johnny held him, but then Johnny couldn't put Danny down because Danny would hold on to him with a vice like grip and whimper... but to be honest, Johnny didn't mind.
A knock sounded at the front door to the house. Johnny frowned and glanced at Danny then back at the door. He slowly stood up carrying Danny like a baby in one arm (Danny is small for his age and Johnny has ghost strength) and walked to the door. He reached out with his free hand and opened the door, instantly he had to jump back as the door slammed open and a girl ghost with grey skin, green hair, red eyes, wearing a red jacket over a black top, red skirt, Green leggings and black boots walked into the house glaring daggers at Johnny and growling.
"Kitty Baby, what are you doing here" Johnny asked nervously in a low voice that was almost a whisper.
"What am I Doing here" Kitty practically yelled, Johnny flinched and glanced down at Danny who just buried his face into Johnnys coat with a frown, Kitty didn't notice the sleeping kid and continued to yell, "I haven't seen you in two months Johnny, in fact no one has even seen you riding around, where have you been, you better not been flirting with other girls or cheating on me, I swear if you have..."
"Daddy" Danny whined, starting to get upset at being woken by the yelling, Kitty froze and finally looked at the white haired kid in Johnnys arm, her eyes widened in total shock before she started glaring daggers at Johnny again causing the blonde to take a step back nervously.
Danny looked up and saw Kitty glaring at Johnny...she looked scary and evil... so Danny jumped out of Johnnys arm and ran behind him hiding behind Johnnys leg and inside the long coat.
"Who is that daddy" Danny asked.
"It's okay bud, this is Kitty" Johnny said, "Kitty, this is Danny"
"Is she evil, she looks scary" Danny said, Johnny couldn't help but choke out a laugh that earned him an even deadlier glare from the girl ghost that Johnny flinched at.
"No she is not evil. Listen bud, why don't you go to the kitchen, Shadow can make you a small snack while Kitty and I have a little talk" Johnny said as he summoned his shadow who floated beside Johnny.
"Okay" Danny said as he quickly ran to the shadow ghost who picked him up and floated to the kitchen leaving Johnny alone with his angered Girlfriend.
"You have a lot of explaining to do Johnny, Who did you have a kid with" She growled, "And why haven't you told me about it"
"Look, you got the wrong idea, I haven't had a kid with anyone" Johnny said.
"Then why is that kid calling you Daddy" Kitty growled.
"Because I kinda sorta adopted him...in a way" Johnny said nervously. He then told Kitty about the new portal and how the kid fell through it, he explained about the kids parents not recognizing him and trying to kill him again and how they were ghost hunters, he told her how he saved the kid and decided to care for the kid, and how Danny started to call him Daddy after a while. Kitty listened to Johnnys explanation and then smiled.
"I never took you as the parenting type Johnny" She said with a smile.
"Yeah, well there is something about the kid that made me want to protect him, to care for him...it's hard to explain" Johnny sighed with a smile at the fact Kitty was no longer mad at him and at the thought of his 'son'. That smile faded as there was a large crash in the kitchen.
"Daddy" Danny yelled as he ran out of the kitchen followed slowly by Shadow who was rubbing its head that was slightly smoking.
"What happened in there" Johnny asked as he picked Danny up and walked to the kitchen to see the table smashed with a broken plate.
"I don't know, I finished my snack and Shadow tried to tickle attack me" Danny said then sent the Shadow a glare that the Shadow ghost just grinned at, "But then this green beam thingy came out of my hand and hit Shadow and Shadow crashed into the table" Danny explained.
"Green beam thingy?" Johnny asked looking at Shadow who let out a few grunts and growls that only Johnny fully understood, "Oh a ghost ray" Johnny said with a nod, "You just developed a new power bud" Johnny said with a smile.
"Really" Danny asked excitedly.
"Yeah, and I will show you how to control it later, but for now you should come say hi to Kitty" Johnny said, Danny frowned.
"You mean the scary girl" Danny asked, Johnny chuckled.
"She is not so scary once you get to know her" Johnny said as he carried Danny back to the living room. Danny saw Kitty sitting on the couch and she smiled at him.
"Hey Danny, I'm Kitty, sorry for scaring you earlier, I was just mad at Johnny for not seeing me in a long time" Kitty said with a smile.
"That's okay" Danny said shyly as he gripped Johnnys coat.
"Hey, don't be shy little bud, Kitty is a really close friend of mine" Johnny said giving Kitty a wink.
"Yeah" Kitty agreed, Danny smiled slightly at Kitty as Johnny sat beside Kitty with Danny in his lap. Johnny and Kitty started to take to each other for a while and Danny just rested in Johnnys lap and listened. After a while Danny yawned and snuggled into Johnny and soon fell asleep.
"So the kid gets tiered and sleeps" Kitty asked while looking at the now sleeping kid.
"I know, it is strange but he also eats regularly too" Johnny said.
"Odd" Kitty said, "But I have to say you seem like a good dad to the kid" She said with a smirk.
"You think so?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, and I've decided I will help too" Kitty said, Johnny saw the excited look in his girlfriends eyes as she looked at Danny, he remembered her telling him that she always wanted kids, but she died before she was able to have any, and for some reason she was unable to carry a baby even as a ghost.
"Somehow I knew you were" Johnny said with a smile.
"Yep, and first things first...I'm gonna get him new clothes" She said happily as she got up and left the house. Johnny sighed and looked down at his sleeping kid.
"Already got her wrapped around your finger huh kid" Johnny said with a small chuckle as he ran his fingers through the snow white hair.
(Few weeks later, Christmas eve)
"Where are we going Daddy" Danny asked as he ran into the garage where Johnny was waiting for him, Danny now wore a pair of Black Cargo shorts with White stitches and white edges, a pair of Black sneakers with white shoe-laces, and a white T-shirt with Black edges.
"We are going to a party, Every Christmas eve and Christmas day every ghost in the ghost Zone has a truce, so all evil ghosts have to be nice to each other, there is a Truce Party held at the great hall for any ghosts who want to go" Johnny explained.
"Is Kitty going to be there" Danny asked with an excited grin.
"I'm not entirely sure this time" Johnny said with a frown, Danny frowned at that but then smiled, "Are we gonna take the bike" Danny asked causing Johnny to laugh.
"Of course" Johnny said as he got on his bike, he then reached down and picked up Danny and set Danny in his lap, he then turned on the bike and soon they were racing through the Zone. This was the first time Johnny really took Danny out since he took the kid in, Danny looked around in amazement at the green and purple sky, the floating islands, and the very many floating doors.
"What are those doors Daddy" Danny asked.
"Each door is the entrance to a Ghosts Lair, but some of them are portals to the Human Zone" Johnny explained.
"Oh" Danny said.
"Remember what I said about how ghosts react to others entering their lairs" Johnny asked.
"Yeah" Danny said with a small nod.
"Good, so don't enter any of these doors without permission" Johnny said sternly.
"Okay daddy" Danny said, "Why is the sky always Green and purple" Danny asked.
"I don't know" Johnny said with a sigh.
"I miss seeing the stars in the Human Zone" Danny said.
"Really" Johnny asked.
"Yeah, Jazzy and I would always look at the stars together" Danny said with a smile. Johnny smiled at that, Danny always spoke kindly of his older sister, and he never talked about his biological parents after the first week of living with Johnny, it was almost like his mind forgot about Jack and Maddie.
"Maybe one day we can take a trip to the Human Zone to see the stars" Johnny offered, Danny gasped at that and turned to stare at Johnny.
"Really" Danny asked.
"Sure kid" Johnny said with a grin. A few minutes later they reached the great hall and Johnny parked his bike, "Here we are, Listen to me Danny" Johnny said as they got off the bike, Danny was now paying close attention to Johnny...it wasn't often the blonde called him by his first name, "I want you to stay close to me, there may be a truce tonight but I would feel a lot better if I knew where you were"
"Okay Daddy" Danny said.
"Good" Johnny said then grabbed Dannys hand and lead him inside the hall. Danny looked around in amazement at all the different ghosts that were in the hall then he moved a little closer to Johnny as he started to get nervous at the fact he was surrounded by ghosts he did not know.
"Hey Johnny, so you made it" said a white skinned ghost wearing a white suit.
"Hey Walker, I am glad I made it this year, I heard you are the host this year?" Johnny greeted.
"That I am" Walker said with a grin, "So please enjoy yourself, but don't break the rules or I will through you in prison once the truce ends, do I make myself clear" Walker said. Danny whimpered and clung to Johnnys coat earning Walker and Johnnys attention.
"I don't want Danny to go to prison" Danny said quietly.
"Who is this" Walker asked looking at Johnny with a questioning look.
"Walker, this is Danny Phantom, he is my adopted son" Johnny explained, Walkers eyes widened at that.
"I never took you as the father type" Walker said.
"Hey, I think I make a great dad" Johnny said.
"lets hope he doesn't become a trouble making punk" Walker said as he walked away and headed into the crowd.
"Johnny!" Johnny looked over and saw Skulker waving him over with Technus and Young-blood, they were all sitting on a couch in the corner of the hall.
"Come on Danny, lets go meet a few of my friends" Johnny said and they headed over to the three ghosts.
"Sup Johnny" Young-blood said.
"Hey guys" Johnny greeted. Danny looked over the three ghosts on the couch, one was a kid that looked a little older than him, one had green skin and a white mullet and was wearing black whit and green robes as well as rectangular glasses, and the last one was the one that Danny was the most interested in...he looked like a giant robot with a fire Mohawk. Danny was fascinated by the robot ghost, he let go of Johnnys hand, witch surprised Johnny, and took a few steps closer to Skulker to get a better look.
"Hey Johnny, who's the kid" Skulker asked watching as the kid kept staring at him with glowing neon green eyes.
"Guys, this is my adopted son, Danny Phantom" Johnny said.
"When did this happen" Technus asked.
"About three months ago" Johnny answered
"So that's why you haven't been out and about for a while" Young-blood said earning a nod from Johnny.
"Are you a robot" Danny asked Skulker, Johnny looked at Danny amused, Skulker looked surprised by the question, and Technus and Young-blood were laughing.
"No I am not a robot, this is an metal suit I built that I use to hunt, for I am The Ghost Zones Greatest Hunter" Skulker said.
"Cool" Danny said with a grin.
"Are you forgetting Skulker that I helped you with that suit, you would have never got it working if it was not for I, Technus, Master of all things Electronic" Technus said.
"Can I have a suit like that" Danny asked.
"uh" Technus said then glanced at Johnny who shook his head no, "Maybe when you are older" Technus said.
"Awe" Danny pouted.
"Dude, he is so adorable" Young-blood said as he flew off the couch and tried to tackle Danny in a hug, but Danny quickly hid behind Johnny, "Dude, I just wanted a hug"
"Sorry Young, he is shy at first" Johnny said.
"He sure didn't seem shy a minute ago" Young-blood mumbled. Johnny laughed then joined them on the couch, Danny joined by sitting in Johnnys lap before starting to ask Skulker many questions about his "robot suit" and hunting.
"Daddy, can we go hunting" Danny asked Johnny after a while.
"Hunting is really not my thing kid" Johnny said.
"I could take the kid on a few hunts, who knows he might be a great hunter" Skulker said.
"Awesome" Danny cheered.
"But you have to wait until you are a little older" Skulker added with a smirk, Danny started pouting again.
During the rest of the party, Danny met Ember, Spectra, Lunch Lady, Box Ghost, Ghost Writer, Princess Dora, and Undergrowth, all of witch Johnny noted taken a liking to Danny.
"Daddy, I'm tired" Danny said with a yawn earning a few confused looks from the ghosts that were currently talking to Johnny.
"Alright, I guess it is time we head home" Johnny said as he picked up Danny and said a few goodbyes while heading for the exit.
(Few weeks later)
Danny and Johnny were in the garage, Johnny was working on his bike and Danny was handing Johnny tools when Johnny requested them. Suddenly a whit ring appeared around Dannys waist and started to slowly travel up and down Danny.
"Daddy!" Danny yelled causing Johnny to look over, his eyes widened in shock as he watched the ring travel and change Danny. Dannys eyes were now blue and his hair raven black, he now wore a plain white t-shirt and blue jeans, "Daddy what was that" Danny asked.
"Well this was certainly unexpected" Johnny said as he looked over Danny, "But now your weird eating and Sleeping habits are explained now, Danny you are Human" Johnny explained.
"But I'm a ghost" Danny said confused.
"Yes you are a ghost, but you are also human" Johnny said, he then picked up a mirror and showed Danny his refection, Danny looked at it in shock.
"I'm alive?" Danny said, "But..."
"You're a Halfa, Half human, Half ghost" Johnny said, suddenly Danny started to cry, "Why are you crying bud" Johnny asked as he pulled Danny into a hug.
"You're gonna get rid of me now, I'm a human, you're gonna send me back" Danny cried.
"Oh Danny, I won't do that to you, you're my little bud, my son now, and I won't take you back to those people who hurt you" Johnny said as he picked Danny up and held him close, after a while Danny calmed down.
"Daddy, how do I turn back to ghost" Danny asked, "Am I going to be stuck as a human forever"
"I don't know how you change back, but I know someone who can help you learn" Johnny said.
"Who" Danny asked.
"His name is Plasmius, and he is the only other Halfa that exists" Johnny said.
(Next Day, Plasmius lab)
"Tell me Johnny 13, why are you here" Plasmius asked, "And why did you bring a kid with you, did you kidnap the boy"
"No, I saved the boy and have taken him in as my son" Johnny said.
"But I heard the kid you took in had white hair and was a ghost, that kid is clearly a human with black hair" Plasmius said with a growl.
"Yes I know that, but that is because we just found out he is a halfa" Johnny said and Plasmius eyes widened at the news.
"You better not be joking" Plasmius growled, he floated over to a table and grabbed a empty needle, then without any warning he used it to draw a bit of blood from Danny who squirmed a little trying to get away from the needle but Plasmius held him still while Johnny glared daggers at Plasmius but knew not to yell at the vampire-like halfa because he was stronger.
Plasmius took the blood sample and ran it through a scanner, and his red eyes widened at the results.
"The boy really is another Halfa" Plasmius said then stared at the kid who was rubbing the spot he had taken the blood sample from "I'm not the only one anymore, but how did he get his powers?" Plasmius thought.
"I don't know a lot about Halfas, I was hoping you would mentor him since you are the only other Halfa" Johnny asked.
"I'll think about it" Plasmius growled, "Get out for now, I will contact you with my answer within the week"
"can you at least tell me how to change back" Danny asked, "i like being a ghost"
Vlad smirked at the young kid, "you should feel a something cold in you somewhere, mentally reach for it and embrace it and you will change, the same for turning back to human only the feeling is warmth, after a while changing becomes so easy you barely have to think about it"
"What?" Danny said totally confused.
"That is all I am telling you, now get out and figure it out on your own" Plasmius growled.
Johnny picked up Danny and left through the Plasmius portal, Johnny didn't miss the slight flinch Danny gave as they entered the green vortex.
Plasmius watched as Johnny and the new Halfa left, he then grinned.
"Now, time to start planning" Plasmius said as he shifted to human, Vlad Masters, "I'm gonna make that kid my evil apprentice, and have him kill Jack for me"
