Huh?! What is this?! An Update? Naw, it can't be. But it is! I need to lay off the sugar and caffiene, cause now I am starting see sounds.
Anyways, I would love to dedicate this chappie to Himinee for being my first ever fan girl...
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Danny Phantom. BUT I do own Roya, Hope, and Brian.
Now... ON TO THE STORY!
Danny looked down at the young girl curled up in his chest and lap. She had fallen asleep an hour ago, and, truth be told, Danny didn't blame her. Hope had a rough day today.
He smiled as he watched her clutch the doll of his ghostly self and snuggle in closer to Danny.
When he had tried to explain how he could change between Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom, Hope had just looked confused, so he had told her it was magic. At this, she smiled and told him that her mommy used to tell her stories about magic before she went to bed at night. And that it was a good thing that he could change so he could be two angels and help out other people. Danny had laughed at this and confused the poor girl even more. When he had gotten his breathe back, Danny kneeled down with a serious look upon his face.
"Hope?" he said, as he placed a hand on her shoulder and mentally smiled when she didn't flinch. Instead, she moved his hand off her shoulder and held it close. "You know, no one can know about this, right?"
"Why?"
"If they do, some people might be scared and try to take my powers away. And I wouldn't be able to help people. Do you understand?" At this Hope's emerald eyes became wide and she nodded, holding Danny's hand tighter.
"Danny?" Hope spoke up shyly.
"Yes?" he replied, looking at her.
Hope blushed, "Can we watch a movie?" Danny nodded and led her into the living room. The two had picked out a movie, which wound up to be Brother Bear, and sat down together to watch it.
Five minutes into it, Hope snuggled up to Danny and he put a protective arm around her. Ten minutes after that, Danny could hear the soft snores coming from her.
Thus, leading him to where he is now. Danny soon felt his eyelids become heavier with each passing second. And he too, was sleeping soundly with his arm still guarding the little girl.
Jazz came home to the house being extremely quiet and peaceful. But in the Fenton household, that is not a good thing. The red head soon began to frantically search the house and froze at the sight in the living room.
Her little brother was curled up with a little girl she had never seen before. She couldn't help but think it was cute. Quickly, Jazz raced up to her room and grabbed her camera. Smiling she took a picture, or a few, before switching the switching the television off, and grabbing her latest book while relaxing on the loveseat.
She knew her little brother needed his sleep, so she let him rest. Besides, she could get caught up on her reading. The decision was made and Jazz began to lose herself in her words.
Danny woke up in a meadow filled with wild flowers of all colors, and a pounding headache. Blinking away the bright sunlight, he held up a hand to also help block it out as well.
When his eyes adjusted, Danny looked around and saw someone bent over picking from the assortment of flowers.
He quickly got up and went over to the person. After getting a better look, he realized that the person was a she and that she looked strangely familiar.
"Excuse me, Miss?" Danny asked cautiously.
The woman stood up and that's when Danny noticed her eyes; A bright emerald green. She smiled kindly at the young boy.
"Hope?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"No," she said with laughter in her voice, "but close. Hope is my daughter. And my name is Roya."
"Oh."
Roya smiled as she leaned closer to the halfa. "Danny, I need you to make a promise to me."
Danny became quickly shocked. "How do you know my name?"
"All ghosts know the name of the young halfa who chooses to use his powers to defend the humans of Amity Park from mischievous ghosts."
"Wait… So you're a ghost?"
Roya sighed sadly, "Very much so. After I had went to visit my brother, Brian, for a while, which had turned into a few years and I had practically moved in. At the time Hope was around two. I had to stay because of his horrible drinking habit. And a few years later I had gotten a call from a man who claimed to be my father's doctor. He told me that he had suffered from a heart attack that had almost claimed his life. Panicking, I raced out the door leaving a note that promised Brian that I would be back soon and that to take of Hope for me. On the drive over to the hospital that my dad was supposedly staying in, I was attacked. I don't know what it was, but it did kill me. And I became a resident of the Ghost Zone. Ever since then, I've been watching over my little girl but unable to interfere physically.
"I watched as Brain's drinking problem become worse and he started taking his anger out on my little baby. Ever since she was a toddler, Brian had played the father role in her life and he ruined it for her."
"So, that creep wasn't Hope's dad?" Danny asked.
"No just her uncle," she assured.
"But, what about her biological dad?" he questioned.
"That isn't important right now. You will find out at a later date. But what I need you to do is look after her for me. Keep her safe. She means so much to me." Roya pleaded with her sorrow filled eyes.
Danny became deadly serious as he nodded. "I promise to protect Hope with my life and after-life." But he quickly gasped as he was hugged by the red head.
"You must go now, your sister is about to wake you," Roya said as she kissed his forehead. Everything quickly began to fade and Danny could have sworn he heard a "Thank you, Phantom" in Roya's voice. And everything went black…
Also I must apologize for the ridiculously shortness of the chappie. I blame my insomnia and business.
So, tell me what you think in a review and it will make my day!
