ChaosSonic1: The reason for so few Danny/Sam multi chapter stories is rather simple... there isn't much you can do. With him getting with other girls there is setting up the romance, building the romance and the two's connection, everyone's reaction to it, Danny and the other person getting together plus whatever the plot of the story is beyond the romance. But with Sam and Danny most of that is gone already.
Also Ghost and I are using SEVERAL of Butch's concepts for this, as it opens more options.
chimera629:There is no reason for Danny to age slower or whatever, heck since Butch DID age them up that makes sense.
Danny was always seen as a hero by his town and he lead the ghosts, so he is seen as the worlds hero.
Dani was 10 in the original show so she is 15 now.
Dani does not have the Ghostly Wail or Ice Powers.
And yes, she DOES know how to do all that. The problem? She has a job to do
And Vlad doesn't have cryokenisis because he has a more fire-elemental connection. It is where Dan Phantom got his fire-elemental connection.
Invader Johnny: Well he is a bit stupid.
JacobPhantom: Look, asshole. You asked this less than AN HOUR after I uploaded the chapter! Have fucking patience!
Here are a few reviews answered by Ghost:
Mighty TAB X: I...Don't thnk we're going for THAT Clone Saga.
Invader Johnny: He just wants a family. Anyone can understand that...Though I might be playing "devil's advocate".

Chapter 4:
Vlad's Aftermath
Back at Fenton Works, Danny was having a family meeting. He had to mention this before anything else. Ember, Jazz, Tucker and Sam where all sat in the Fenton Work base
"Okay, so what's this huge thing you called us for?" Tucker asked in concern
"... Vlad is back." Danny sighed "And he is stronger than ever, he attacked Ember and I while we were going for some food."
"WHAT?!" All but Ember responded
"It's true. And he looked terrible." Ember added "He's apparently been a slave for aliens for the last few years."
"And he has grown stronger." Danny finished "I had to go all out, and that was just because we were outside the city."
"You had to go ALL OUT?" Jazz asked in shock
"Yes." He nodded
"...What are we going to tell Dani? She deserves to know." Sam thought
"We tell her next time we see her." Danny said simply
"Good...It's only right we tell her." Sam nodded in agreement
"Exactly. The last thing we need is to lie to her about this...We're family and I can't lie to her about this." Danny added
"Well she is on a date for now so she probably won't be back for a while." Jazz said
"..." Danny didn't say anything and walked off, into the Ghost Zone labs
"He needs some time alone." Sam said, all of them thinking that and going silent for a while
"... I don't remember ever seeing the Dipstick like that." Ember whispered "He was laughing, exited for a 'real fight'. Like he had grown bored of life and the smiles he gives us are fake. That he doesn't care about winning... He just wants to fight."
"You are reading too much into it Ember." Jazz reassured "All of us can agree the job has spoken grown mundane, day to day. Yet back when he started, the early days, there where the Vlad's and the Pariah Dark's and the evil plots. A part of him, a small part of him, misses the challenge of being a hero. He basically misses the glory days of being the underdog."
"I guess." Ember nodded, holding her guitar tightly in her hand
*With Danny*
Our hero was standing in front of the, currently, deactivated Fenton Portal. Looking into the mechanical interior his eyes looked empty "... Mum... Dad... I wish you were here." He whispered
*Flashback, six months ago*
"Be safe." Danny asked as he hugged his mother, Maddie Fenton. Maddie had shoulder-length auburn hair, deep red lipstick, and violet eyes. She wore, like always, a blue rubber jumpsuit, along with long black rubber gloves and boots. Her suit also has a black belt, which has a pouch for her equipment, and a rubber hood, which she usually wears, along with a pair of black lab googles with red lenses. Currently her hood was down and her goggles where around her neck, allowing her soft and short brown hair free. On the centre of her belt and on her right breast was the D/P symbol of Danny Phantom in green and black respectively
"Oh we will be fine, back before you know it." She smiled
"Your mother is right Danny my boy! The Fenton Flyer, Patent pending, will allow us to traverse the Ghost Zone without an issue! We will discover what is going on there and come right on back, you won't even realise we are gone!" Her husband and Danny's father, Jack Fenton, said in a deep and booming yet cheerful and life filled voice. Jack is large and bulky, with black hair with some white in the back and blue eyes. He always wears an orange jumpsuit with black gloves and boots similar to his wife's only in his size and he had black D/P symbols on his shoulders. He was standing beside a large silver jet looking thing that had a green D/P symbol on the sides and had green ecto-lines all over it
"Good luck." Jazz whispered as she hugged her parents
*End flashback*
That had been the last time he was them, flying into the portal in that ship. They had kept communications for a few weeks until, suddenly, it just... Stopped. Danny had tried to go in there but the others stopped him. The Fenton Flyer's last known location was further into the Ghost Zone then they had explored before, having been caught in a Ghost Zone wind. He couldn't find them if he tried.
He had failed.
'I'm not going to let Plasmius win.' Danny thought strongly
*With Ember*
Ember was in Danny's room, playing her guitar lightly. She wanted to ease her mind and she knew that the first place Danny would come after he cools down would be here, and she knew he would need someone to talk to. She closed her eyes, beginning to sing her classic song as she remembered how Danny learnt the full story...
*Flashback- 3 years ago*
Danny and Ember where having one of their many collaboration sessions just outside of town, chatting about ideas for songs/new twists in ideas Ember already had. This had been a few months since Ember's restarted music carrier REALLY kicked up. And ironically, it had also been a few months since Danny and Sam had broken up "... Hey, Ember?" Danny asked
"Yeah?" She asked
"... What is the story of Remember?" Danny asked "I mean, I know what the songs says I was wondering about details... If you want."
"... You are the first person to ever ask me that." She smiled softly
"Oh." Danny blinked "You don't have to if you don't want to."
"Well, no harm in telling." She shrugged "Once upon a time there was a young girl called Amber McLean. She loved music, always had since the day she could talk and walk maybe even before that. It was part of her soul. She was never a popular girl, nothing special. Picked on, bullied... ignored. Most people didn't even remember her name. Her parents did their best but they passed away when she was about 10, where she was sent to live with her grandmother. On her fifteenth birthday Amber was given a guitar by her grandmother, using some money her parents left her. A present for her to fully show her love for music. She brought it into school one day, to get some lessons from the music teacher. She had been studying music for years but, now with her own guitar, she had a dream connected with her love and she was going to give it her all."
"That sounds nice." Danny smiled
"... If only it had stayed that way." Ember sighed "Seeing the loner music geek with a cool guitar one of the cool kids, one who Amber had a long time crush on, asked her out. With everything that had happened to her recently she was beyond happy and now, with her crush asking her out, she didn't even hesitate to say yes. She should have known it was fishy, he had never even talked to her before. He didn't even remember her name as he asked her out. But she was too happy, too excited. Too naive."
'I don't like where this is going.' Danny thought
"They had gone out that night and, stupidly, she slept with him without a second thought. She heard nothing from him for nearly two weeks when she finally got him to talk to her again, and they set up another date. Amber waited outside the movie theater that weekend. He didn't show up." Ember continued "She thought he was running late so she waited. He still didn't arrive. But she had faith. She waited and waited and waited and waited... It was nearly midnight when she realised how stupid she had been. She began to walk off home, dejected... And saw him chatting with his friends in the park close bye."
"... Oh no." Danny whispered
"She went up towards them, angry... And heard them talking. He was bragging about how he got Amber to sleep with him and how he was going to steal her guitar, planing on seeking it... Amber ran home crying. Her grandmother was at the hospital, having a simple scan to make sure she was healthy but staying overnight to wait for tests to be processed properly." Ember continued her story, her eyes slightly vacant "Amber fell onto her bed and cried herself to sleep, holding her precious guitar... Not knowing what was happening. One of the bitch bullies at her school, who had a crush on the boy taking advantage of pour Amber, decided to play a 'prank' and set a small harmless fire to freak Amber out... The stupid girl had no idea what she was doing. The fire got out of control, Amber was fast asleep... The next thing I knew I woke up in the Ghost zone with blue fire for hair."
"I... am so sorry Ember." Danny whispered, holding her hand gently
"What's past is past. Can't change it. Besides, not your fault." She said, not even caring. Silence fell over the two, neither saying anything
"I... What did you look like?" Danny asked with hesitation
"... Red hair and brown eyes, slightly tanned skin." Ember said after a seconds hesitation before she grinned cockily "Besides that I was always the smoking hot me."
"Yeah." Danny laughed, glad she seemed happier "So... What's up with the one glove on your right arm?"
"Have you tried playing a guitar with your bare hands? The strings can fucking hurt after a while!" Ember laughed
*End flashback*
"... You took your time." Ember smiled, taking herself from her memories
"Yeah...Sorry." Danny whispered
"It's fine Danny." She said, being serious "Feeling better?" She asked
"Yeah. I kinda am." He nodded, rubbing his forehead.
Ember smiled, patting the bed next to her "Want to talk?"
"Yeah...Please." He nodded and sat next to her.
She nodded, smiling
*With Dani*
Dani and her date were currently in a cinema, though to be more to the point, she was coming OUT of the cinema with her date. They were heading to a club, laughing "That...that was great." Dani's date laughed, thinking back to the film.
"I guess " Dani shrugged lightly, smiling
"So, what's this club you're showing me?" He asked
"Eh, just a random little club I heard about." She shrugged
"Oh, okay. Sounds cool." Her date answered. Dani nodded, the two going inside. The sound of music and people dancing was deafening, the two smiled as they headed to the dance floor "This place is awesome!" He called
"Yeah, it is!" Dani responded starting to bounce to the rhythm. Her date laughed and danced with her, the two bopping and swaying to the music together. The two continued to dance until they felt exhausted and they went to the bar "That was fun!" Dani laughed
"Yeah...Yeah, it was." He nodded
Dani smiled, kissing him lightly as they ordered drinks "Thanks." she smiled as she and Tyler took their drinks and downed them. The two laughed a bit, smiling "Want to head out?" Dani asked
"Out where?" He called over the music, looking worried
"Out on the dance floor." Dani answered
"Ah, okay." He nodded with a laugh
"Come on!" Dani smiled, pulling Tyler to the floor
"Gah!" He gasped as he was dragged away "D-Dani!" He blushed as he was pulled away
"Yeah?" she grinned
"Y-You're kinda pulling me tough." Tyler answered
"Sorry, ghost powers." She laughed
"It-it's okay." He answered, although he was blushing a bit
"One more dance." Dani smiled
"Sure." Tyler smiled
*With Danny*
Danny sighed as he and Ember rested on the bed, Ember sleeping next to him 'Night, Ember...' He thought gently as he began to drift off to sleep. He gently brushed her hair back behind her ear, kissing her cheek gently 'Man...She really DOES look peaceful.' He sighed "She looks so beautiful." He mumbled. Danny drifted off to sleep, lying next to her. He had an arm around her, holding her close as he drifted to sleep
*In Danny's Dreams*
Danny smiled as he sat in a space ship, looking out in amazement at the stars. He looked out to the cosmos, seeing the vastness and majesty that was space. The planets in his sight and exploring the great unknown. He smiled at how childhood dream, his hands on the glass happily "This...this is great." He whispered. He smiled out at the cosmos and laughed lightly "Time to head out." He smiled as he dreamt up an astronaut's uniform
"Be safe." A sort voice whispered into his ear
"Huh?" Danny asked as he looked around. Looking behind him he saw Ember in what could only be described as a sexy astronaut costume
She looked like she was wearing a black and blue skintight bodysuit with motif flames and a "D" symbol "Well? Aren't you going on a spacewalk?" She asked him with a loving smile that Danny wasn't used to seeing on her face
"Yeah. I am." He nodded
Ember smiled and kissed him lightly
*Outside Danny's dream*
"Hmm..." Danny smiled gently as he dreamed
Ember yawned, snuggling into Danny's arms lightly. He held his arm and pulled it closely around her, relaxing happily
*Inside Ember's dream*
"GOODNIGHT AMITY PARK!" Ember called on a stage to a cheering crowd, cameras showing her show live to the world. She smiled and waved, walking back stage as the show ended "Ah...Another fan filled concert." She smiled as she patted her brow with a towel
"Mummy!" A small voice cheered, a child tackling her and hugging her
"Hey! How's my little Matchstick?" Ember smiled as she hugged her
"Great!" The figure smiled, revealing it was a child of about 5. The child had flaming hair like Ember, however the flames where white instead of Ember's coral blue burning locks. She had slightly tanned skin and neon green eyes. She was wearing a baggy white short sleeve shirt with a black D/P logo on the front, some dark coloured cargo pants and a pink bag with Ember's blue fire logo on her back "You want real good out there Mummy!"
"Well, I always give my audience a great show." Ember responded, kissing the child's cheek
"You where amazing babe." Danny smiled as she walked over
"Awe...Thanks, hun." Ember smiled, seeing smiled and kissed him, her daughter making an 'Ew' face "Oh, you'll learn." Ember teased
"Nope!" she shook her head
"Come here, Princess." Danny smiled, lifting her daughter. "Want to go flying?"
"Yeah!" The girl smiled, her eyes literally glowing
"Then let's go." Ember smiled as the three of them began to fly into the night sky.
She smiled happily, flying alongside her husband and her daughter
*Outside Ember's mind*
"Hmm..." The rock star ghost smiled happily with happy tears as she slept. Outside the room, just looking through the gap of the door, Jazz and Sam laughed lightly with Tucker taking pictures
"He isn't going to live this down." Jazz smiled
"Like you with Danny in the Gorilla enclosure?" Sam teased Tucker.
"Hey! You promised not to mention that again!" Tucker huffed
"Nope." Sam snickered
"Oh man." Tucker frowned
*With Vlad*
Vlad was wearing more respectable clothes, having a shave and a haircut. He was now back in his bunker seeing his future progeny. Slowly the green liquid was draining away
"He is ready, Lamb-Chop." The Maddie AI spoke as the figure inside the tube slowly got out
"Hello son." Vlad smiled
"Hello... Father." The clone said with an evil grin
