Ghosts and Fairies

Rating: K+

Pairings: None

Ages: Danny is either 14 about to be 15 or 15 (haven't really decided) and Timmy is 10

Summary: So Danny's life is pretty bad sometimes. I mean his parents kept forgetting about him on Christmas to the point where a dog peed on him as a baby. He sure could've probably used a Fairy Godparent or two. What's up with that? Two worlds meant to never know peace in the company of the other... And Danny and Timmy brother bonding fluff... duh. Who can resist that?

"AAAAAAUGHGHH!" A massive green hole of swirling green light opened up above the peaceful Fairy World. Two blurs shot to the ground.

PHWAM!

The dust cleared and none other than Danny Phantom stumbled to his feet, swaying. He was covered in green goo and a fine layer of dust. "Okay. I promise that's the last time we travel through the Ghost Zone to get here."

"Why… Why Danny?" Timmy pulled himself up into the fetal position. He was rocking and twitching. Wanda and Cosmo floated down after catching their breath in the air from having to fly at blinding speeds to keep up with Danny.

"You could've gotten us all killed!" Wanda shrieked, barely hiding her absolute fear in her eyes. Though Danny knew she didn't really blame him, it hurt.

"I… I'm sorry. I didn't know my portal would put us next to a Behemoth nest."

"That doesn't excuse it!" Wanda shouted and placed a hand on Timmy's shoulder. "Timmy… Timmy sweetie?"

"The teeth and the smell and and and…"

Danny felt himself deflate in distress. "I… I'm sorry…"

Cosmo looked over and saw the pain in Danny's eyes, swirling dark in those luminescent green orbs…

"A Ghost!"

"What is a ghost doing here!?"

Danny looked up sharply with Wanda, Cosmo and Timmy as a crowd of Fairies started to gather. They floated closer and closer with fearful or angry looks on their cherubic faces.

"You belong in Zone!"

Danny flinched and looked at his group blankly. "But…"

"Puny Specter!"

Danny gasped and spun to come face to face with Jorgan von Strangle.

"You have trespassed!" The massive fairy boomed.

"Hey wait! I don't know what you're talking about."

"You can't fool me!"

Jorgan's giant hand wrapped around Danny's thin wrist and with adrenaline rushing through his ectoplasmic filled veins, Danny realized with a start that he couldn't phase through the magical creature's grip. "Oh no."

"We have our magic and you have your powers, ghost, but we are nearly equals compared to humans."

"Wait, Jorgan! He's different!" Timmy yelped, finally getting to his feet.

"But sport!" Wanda spoke up.

Danny gulped before a flash of light blinded everyone and suddenly the Fairies were staring at a boy, not a ghost. "Uh… hi?"

Jorgan's eyes narrowed. "To the Council, now."

Danny struggled a bit feebly against the golden chains that bound him to the chair. "Look I promise I can keep a secret. I-"

"That's quite enough, Mr. Fenton."

Danny froze when he saw the robed forms of the Fairy Council float into the room.

"But I-"

"The child who was over-looked…"

Danny's mouth stayed open before he slowly and silently closed it. "What?" He asked quietly.

"But Timmy, he was lying to all of us and he just about got you killed!" Wanda expressed as the trio moped outside the Council building.

"Yeah but…" Timmy sighed. "He was totally like the best babysitter ever, he showed me all his friends' cheat codes on Doom…"

"And he polished Philip!" Cosmo interrupted giddily.

Timmy flinched and gave Cosmo a glare that went unnoticed by the green-haired fairy. "He actually saved me and my friends' lives once without us knowing-"

"And he polished Philip!"

"He saved you guys and me from getting spotted by Crocker, and to be fair we were lying to him too…"

Wanda opened her mouth. "But we had to lie to him because it would risk-"

"Like he doesn't have his own reasons for hiding his secret?" Timmy asked. "I mean he's already being cornered by Jorgan and the Council after showing them!"

Wanda finally sighed realizing Timmy was right. "I guess you're right." She smiled. "When did you start caring that much, huh?"

Timmy flushed and grumbled in irritation. "I…" He froze. "Danny… he taught me."

Cosmo and Wanda exchanged glances when they saw the look of realization cross their godchild's face. A determination lit up in his eyes. "We have to help him."

"Are you having trouble keeping humans out of your domain, fairy?"

Timmy and his fairies looked up to see Jorgan leading a bunch of one-eyed beings towards the Council's building. The large fairy whipped his head around. "Silence! I'm only helping you because you are the only ones with clearance here, ever!"

"Who are you guys!?" Timmy exclaimed.

One of the beings narrowed his large eye at him. "It is none of your concern, human. We are merely coming here to take back what is ours…"

Timmy fumed as the beings were lead into the room. He then turned to his fairies when he was alone again. "Cosmo, Wanda, I wish I could go invisible and intangible."

Wanda and Cosmo nodded and rose their wands skyward only for a fart noise to resonate through the air. "Huh?"

Wanda pulled out Da Rules and looked closely. "Sorry sport. I guess that's too close to breaching the ghost section. We can't tamper with the dead or anything to do with death… We could turn you invisible though? I just don't think we can do both at the same time."

Timmy tapped his chin and nodded. "I wish I was invisible then."

POOF!

Timmy ran towards the large doors. "You guys have to stay here. They won't let you in."

Cosmo and Wanda nodded and floated away to hide, Cosmo looking stupidly for where the voice came from before Wanda yanked him away.

Timmy turned and knocked on the door. Jorgan was the one to answer and looked around outside for the culprit, only for Timmy to slip past him.

"The child who was over-looked? What do you…?"

"You had a pretty terrible childhood, did you not?" The pink robed Council member asked.

Danny blinked and blew some hair out of his face. "Uh, rude."

The beings narrowed their eyes and Danny chuckled nervously. "Okay so maybe my parents have been a bit neglectful, but they love me and I love them. I've gotten over the Christmas thing…"

"The point is you needed a fairy and you didn't receive one."

"Um… I guess?"

"You were the only one of your friends to have a child-like heart and you had dreams of being an astronaut that still, to this day, linger in your heart."

Danny felt the wave of depression, that always came when his once dream was mentioned, wash over him. "Okay, look. Is there a point to this other than to make me feel miserable?"

"We can't figure out why you were overlooked."

Danny chuckled dryly. "That's easy. No one remembers Danny Fenton."

"That isn't really your problem anymore though, now is it?"

Danny gasped as a wisp of cold air fled his mouth. "Observants."

"Hello Daniel James Fenton. We meet again." Danny craned his neck to look behind him and saw the one-eyed creeps stalking up behind him. They looked up at the Council members. "We'll take him off your hands now. We know just where he belongs."

Danny felt his throat go dry in panic. Oblivion. Oblivion. Oh God. Clockwork are you going to show up again? They want to try and throw me in that dark pit again!

"One minute," A Council member began.

The Observants looked up at the Council. "No. He is a ghost therefore he is our jurisdiction."

Danny watched as the two groups of powerful beings began to argue over him, their voices echoing off the walls and ceiling.

"But he is a human child and it is our jurisdiction to protect him."

Danny gasped lightly when he felt hands run over his wrists and the chains there.

"Sshh."

"Timmy?" Danny whispered.

"Ima get you out."

Danny smiled a bit. "Huh… I thought for sure you'd… left me too." He felt Timmy freeze before the same feeling of invisible hands jerked on his restraints.

"No way. You're like the coolest babysitter ever. I mean hello? A superhero baby sitter? And I thought it couldn't get better than having fairy godparents."

Danny laughed softly at the heartfelt words. "Thanks." Danny then cried out when one of the Observants boney hands grasped a fistful of his hair.

"This abomination is not your concern!" The ghost roared out and even Jorgan seemed disturbed by the horrible name calling.

"He still has a heartbeat. He still lives without a crippling obsession and he still has a child-like heart. His greatest wish is to be an astronaut… We would not be able to discern his desires if he wasn't human enough for our powers to include him."

Danny felt the Obsevant's grip on his hair tighten and a couple tears pricked the corner of his eyes.

"Besides… you still owe us for our help against Pariah…"

"Silence!" The Observants roared as one.

"NO! YOU BE SILENT! YOU ARE IN OUR REALM!" The Council members held out their glowing hands and a deadly silent stare off occurred. Danny could feel the tension of ectoplasmic energy flooding out from the ghosts behind him and some strange feeling of power coming from the Fairies. The Observant holding Danny's hair snorted. "Very well. But this isn't over." He leaned down to where only Danny and unknown to him, Timmy could hear. "You will be thrown into the pit, you half-dead freak. It's only our job. It's not our fault you couldn't even die right…"

Within moments the Observants had floated out of the room.

The turquoise Council member looked over at the panting and trembling Danny. "Timmy Turner. You may reveal yourself. We know you are there." With a snap of his fingers, Timmy appeared, the magic from his fairies halted.

"Uh… Hi?"

"Do not worry. We understand the great care you have for your friend."

Danny looked up at them. "Why? Why did you save me?"

The four elders looked at each other before the pink one answered. "Think of it as our way of saying sorry. We can no longer grant you a fairy of your own since you are no longer technically fully human, but we can still help you with those one-eyed creeps."

"We are truly sorry, Daniel Fenton."

Danny blinked and then nodded. "Alright. I get it. I think though… I think that I'd choose my powers anyway… I mean… They've made me a better person."

Unknown to everyone else in the room. The four Council members all smiled. "That's the point of it all isn't it? To grow up?" One whispered to himself.

"You are free and you may both return to Earth. You will be allowed to keep your memories of Timmy's Fairies." Another snap of their fingers and the gold chains snaked away from Danny's form.

"Good luck Timmy Turner and Daniel Fenton."

"Huh… I really think a part of Timmy's life has improved, Cosmo dear." Wanda murmured as she pulled the blanket on Danny's and Timmy's lap up closer to their chins. They were leaning on each other as the blue light of the TV flickered over their forms and screams of kids from Dead Teacher thirty-seven pierced the air. A forgotten bowl of popcorn floated up into Cosmo's hands.

"Uh-huh. NO NO NO! DON'T GO IN THE CELLAR!" Cosmo wailed before another scream came from the TV.

"I mean… one day… when we do have to leave him… Danny'll be like a big brother figure and for now, he's a perfect replacement for Vicky."

"Yeah. AUGH! PHILIP HOLD ME!"

Wanda smiled as Danny's arm pulled the younger boy closer. "But that's a long time coming… For now anyways."

There are a lack of good, long, and ongoing or completed DP x FOP crossovers, which sort of surprises me. They're by the same cartoonist for goodness sake! There are maybe a couple okay ones, but only a couple out of about 100+ is still depressing.

I would love to do something about this myself, but have you seen my story schedule on my profile? If by some miraculous way I finished all my stories I had planned, then I'd do it.
