Okay, I left out a lot of stuff in my other posted stuffs. This story is one of my better old works (I wrote it a year ago). I hope you guys like this chapter!!

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny, Sam, Tucker, or any other DP character in this fic. I also don't own "Sonic Riders", although I do have a copy of it for PS2.

Chapter 2

"Well, how are we going to get to New York?" Tucker asked and broke the silence.

"We could fly there." Danny said.

"But won't the long trip weaken you? I mean, we have to go across the country. That's an awfully long way." Sam said in a very concerned way.

"Well, how else are we going to get there?"

"We could tell your parents now and borrow the new and improved Specter Speeder." Sam offered a new suggestion. "I mean, your gonna tell them sooner or later."

"Fine, let's go then. Let's get Jazz to come with us. She knows already, she can help mom and dad understand better." Danny gave in.

So Danny, Tucker, and Sam walked out of his room and started to go to downstairs, except for Sam, who knocked on Jazz's door.

"Hey Jazz, Danny is going to tell your parents his secret and he wants you to be there." She told her through the closed door. The door flew open and Jazz looked at Sam.

"He is? But why?"

"Long story, he's going to tell your parents and you downstairs, now come on."

So Jazz and Sam ran down the steps and to the kitchen. Tucker and Danny were already there waiting for them.

"Danny, what's up? Why are you going to tell mom and dad?" Jazz questioned.

"Long story, tell you downstairs." So the four of them walked downstairs. Sam whispered "Told ya," to Jazz as they entered the basement.

"Mom, Dad, I have to tell you something." Danny said with a nervous, shaky voice.

"What is it dear, is something wrong?" Maddie asked him.

"Does it have to do with ghosts?" Jack asked as well. Then Maddie elbowed him and gave him a death stare.

"Well, yes to both questions." Danny answered, still nervous. "I have to show you something." When he had the attention of both his parents, he spread out his legs, formed his hands into fists and held his arms straight down. "I'm going ghost!" He said with a nervous yet firm voice. Then, two white rings formed around his waist. One of them was moving toward is head, the other toward the ground. His clothing changed, instead of a red and white shirt and blue jeans, he had a black jumpsuit with white gloves, boots, a white belt, a white collar, and a white DP on the chest. His eyes changed from an icy blue to an electric green and his hair changed from jet black to pearl white. After the rings had completely vanished, Danny Phantom had been standing in the place of Danny Fenton. Everything was quiet in the lab, until Maddie broke the silence by asking "D… Da… Danny, is that you?"

"Yes, mom, it's me." He answered. Jack was beaming. "My son is a ghost hunter, I'm so proud." Those words calmed Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz down, that is, until Maddie started to cry.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Jazz asked her crying mother.

"It's just that all this time, we treated Danny Phantom like an enemy, we attacked him, we tried sending him to the Ghost Zone, but we've been doing all that to our own son." Danny went over to his mom, put his hand on her shoulder, and said "Don't worry, its okay. You didn't know because I didn't tell you. At first, I wasn't planning on telling you."

"Then why are you telling them Danny?" Jazz asked.

"Well, today when we were playing video games, the Wisconsin ghost came to my room and told me, Sam and Tucker that him and a whole army of ghosts were going to attack me in three days, which is this Friday. We need your help to fight them off."

When he finished, Danny looked at his family. All three of them were sitting there, staring at him very worried.

"How can we help?" Jack asked him.

"Well, first, we need to borrow the new Specter Speeder to find our allies. We also need to borrow weapons so that Sam and Tucker can help fight."

"We'll give you what you need on one condition." Maddie said. "We get to be a part of your army, just for this battle."

"Definitely." Danny, Sam, and Tucker all said in unison. The trio knew that Maddie was good with weapons and would be able to help them. They also knew that Jazz and Jack weren't too bad and they needed all the help they could get.

"Here you go, then." Maddie handed Danny the keys to the Specter Speeder and the trio went off.

A few hours later, they were finally in NYC. They made sure the Specter Speeder's invisibility shield was still on and they went off to find Danielle. They went up and down Times Square with no luck.

"Face it Danny, this city is huge, we'll never find her." Tucker said in defeat. Suddenly, Danny bumped into somebody because he wasn't looking him front of him. Both of them fell down onto the sidewalk.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean too bump into you." Danny said as he got up and gave the person his hand. He pulled the person up off the ground.

"It's my fault; I should've watched where I was going." Danny recognized that voice.

"Dani?" He asked.

"Danny is that you? What are you doing here?" Dani answered with her own questions.

"We came to find you. It turns out, Vlad and the Fright Knight formed a huge army and they plan on attacking Danny in three days." Sam answered. At the sound of Vlad's name, Dani tightened up.

"Sure, I'll help, but there's just one problem. I'm not stable, remember? I can't use my powers or I'll melt." Dani replied.

"No problem, Danny told his parents his secret and they promised to help us win the fight." Tucker said.

"Yeah, so I guess they can find a way to stabilize you. Now let's go, the clock is running." Danny said. So the four of them went back to the Specter Speeder and flew back to Amity Park. When they got back to Fenton Works, they went inside and Danny called out "We're back!"

"We're in the lab Danny!" Jack called out. Then Danny, Sam, Dani, and Tucker went downstairs.

"Mom, Dad, Jazz, I want you guys to meet Dani." Danny told his parents and sister.

"Hey everyone." Dani greeted.

"Who's this Danny?" Jazz asked.

"Well, once this ghost tried to clone me and the closest he got to a clone is Danielle, but she prefers to be called Dani. Unfortunately, that ghost was missing my mid-transformation DNA, so she couldn't be stabilized. Now, if she tries to use her ghost powers, she'll melt into ectoplasm." Danny explained.

"We were kind of hoping that you could find a way to cure her Mr. and Mrs. Fenton." Sam added.

"Wait, you said she needed mid-transformation DNA from Danny, right?" Maddie asked.

Then both Danny and Dani nodded, so Maddie continued. "I think that we can use that old ghost analyzation machine to extract Danny's transformation DNA and to fuse it into Dani."

"Sounds okay, let's do it." Jack said.

Then Maddie and Jack attached a second chamber to the machine so that both Danny and Dani could be connected at the same time. Danny went into the chamber on the right; Dani went to the one on the left.

"Danny, we need you to 'go ghost' now." Maddie signaled and Danny transformed. While he was transforming, the machine extracted a small DNA sample and it transported it across to the chamber Dani was in. There, it fused inside of Dani. She gave a small scream but recovered instantly. Jack opened the chambers and let Danny and Dani out. "Did it work?" He asked.

"Only one way to find out." Dani said as she transformed into Dani Phantom. Sam activated the obstacle course they use to test Danny's powers.

"Dani, see if you can make it though this course." Danny told her.

"Right," she said. As she went through it, everyone found that her powers were working fine and that she wasn't melting.

"It worked!" Tucker exclaimed happily.

"Hey mom, can Dani stay here, in the guestroom?" Danny asked his mother.

"Yes. Hey Dani?" Maddie wanted to tell her something.

"Yes Aunt Maddie?" Dani thought of Danny's parents as her aunt and uncle, even though that wasn't technically true.

"You're welcome to stay here and become a permanent part of this family if you choose to be so. Unless you have another family."

"No, I don't have another family. The ghost who cloned me never wanted me, he used me, so I left, and I have no one. Can I really stay here with your family?"

"Of course, you're practically another daughter to us, you are Danny's clone." Jack said. Dani beamed and Danny smiled at these words.

Sam looked at her watch and commented "9:00 already? Wow, today went by quickly."

"Yeah, unfortunately for us. Only 2 days left." Danny replied nervously.

"Calm down Danny, we can make it." Sam tried to comfort him again. "I'm sorry, but I have to go now. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'm with Sam, my parents' want me home in 15 minutes." Tucker said.

"Good bye Tucker. Goodbye Sam. Have a safe night." Maddie said.

"Bye guys, see you tomorrow." Both Danny and Dani said in unison.

"Wow, I can definitely see the connection between you too." Jazz commented. "Bye Sam, Bye Tucker." Jack said as the two of them left Fenton Works.

"Well, you've had a rough day, time for bed." Maddie said as she turned toward Danny and Dani. Both of them started to object, until Maddie brought up a good point by saying "You both want to be up early tomorrow so you can form your army right?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Danny said. "G'night mom, dad, Jazz.

"Goodnight Aunt Maddie, Uncle Jack, Jazz." Dani said as she turned and followed Danny upstairs. When they got to the second floor, Danny turned toward his room and Dani turned to the guestroom next to his. At the door she said "Good night Danny."

"Good night Dani." He replied as he went into his room and shut the door.

As Danny got into bed, he tried to think of how in the world he was going to pull this off. It seemed as if there was no way this was even possible. Then he remembered Sam's words and knew she was right. He was first going to have to believe in himself before he could fight and win. With that, he turned in his bed and fell asleep.
