Chapter One: Cloning Blues
"Is this gonna become a regular thing with us?" asked Tucker.
Danny Phantom shot a dark glare at his friend as he paced the lab. It was still very early in the morning – sneaking Sam and Tucker here hadn't alerted his parents, which was certainly helpful.
Dani was laid on a metal bed at the centre of the room (Danny would have provided something more comfortable, but he could hardly drag a mattress down without alerting his parents). She had been attached to several machines, which Tucker and Jazz were monitoring. For ghost hunters, the Fentons had a lot of medical facilities for their prey.
"I'm serious!" elaborated Tucker, "First, it was Vlad, and she wasn't stable. Then she comes back and she's still not stable. Now she's back again and she's still not stable!"
Danny ignored him, and walked over to speak with Jazz.
"How is she?" he asked, concerned.
"She's out, but stable," replied Jazz, "But this doesn't look good for the long term. All her readings are in red, and I don't even understand most of them…"
The door creaked open, and Danny flinched.
Jimmy, Timmy and Spongebob strolled into the room, Timmy's fairies floating above him.
"Hey Danny, what's new?" asked Timmy, brightly.
"Keep it down!" hissed Danny, "We can't wake my parents!"
"Whatever's going on," yawned Jimmy, rubbing his eyes, "Couldn't it wait until some time after four in the morning?"
"No, this is serious," snapped Danny.
He pointed to the table.
"Guys, this is my cousin, Danielle," he announced.
Cosmo tilted his head as he looked at the destabilised, somewhat melted girl on the bed.
"Your cousin is an ice-cream?" he asked.
Wanda facepalmed.
"No," groaned Danny, "She's my clone."
Jimmy, Timmy and Spongebob tilted their heads, taken aback.
"Yeah, it's complicated," continued Danny, "Last time I saw her, she was really destabilised. I stabilised her but now she's…un-stabilised. Point is, we need your help."
Spongebob grinned, and saluted.
"What do you want us to do, Danny?" he asked, enthusiastically.
"You, Cosmo, Wanda and Poof are gonna keep the Fentons distracted," replied Sam, "Fake a ghost attack or something, just keep them out of the house."
"Me, Sam and Jazz are gonna stay here, looking after Dani and keeping in touch with you guys on the Fenton phones," added Tucker.
"Jimmy and I," continued Danny, "Are going into the Ghost Zone."
"The Ghost Zone," grinned Jimmy, "Fascinating! I've always wanted to explore it more. Maybe I could get some samples, see how it works…"
"Yeah, you might wanna grab a coat," warned Danny, "We're going to the Far Frozen. There's a guy there – if anyone knows how to fix this, he will."
"What about Clockwork?" quizzed Timmy, "Couldn't he just prevent any of this from happening in the first place?"
"What, we just gonna stroll into his tower and ask him to mess with history again?" demanded Danny.
Timmy bit his lip.
"Anyway," grinned Sam, looking slightly menacing, "You've got the most important job of all."
"What is it?" asked Timmy, excitedly.
"You get to be nurse!" replied Sam, with a fake grin.
She handed Timmy a gown and a nurse's cap.
"Once Dani wakes up," she explained, "You're gonna be in charge of making sure she's comfortable. Anything she wants, you get. Got it, Nurse Turner?"
"What?" spluttered Timmy, "Why me?"
"Because you're not doing anything else," replied Danny, "And because I specifically remember someone cursing us last Christmas and dragging us halfway across the…"
"Alright, alright," groaned Timmy.
He began to mutter under his breath.
"Alright," nodded Danny, "Everything's set and the Spectre Speeder should be warmed up by now. C'mon, Jimmy – you're gonna meet Frostbite."
Outside the Fenton Works, a girl clad in red armour listened into her radio.
Valerie Grey grinned. She still didn't know how the Fentons hadn't found her bugs yet, but it ultimately didn't matter. Phantom was going into the Ghost Zone, to some place called the 'Far Frozen'.
The Red Huntress intended to follow…
Iiiiiiiit's Valerie!
Yep, that's all I've got.
