Hello, wow what a week, first I finish my exams and first semester at school, then it was announced The Nostalgia Critic will return, I get two new games for my Playstation and one more thing, oh yes a new chapter fro this story. I'm back, sorry I'm a late with this chapter but I've been using my free time to both write and take a break, so here is the fourth chapter in my highly-acclaimed, most-susscseful story, Daughter of a Phantom. Now note before reading, for some reason I don't feel I did a strongly on this chapter like the others, if you too also feel that this one is a little weak, please let me know and give me suggestions on how to fix it, I try to make my stories as great as I can, but every once in a while a bad chapter dose come out. Also I won't be updating this one daily like my other one because of two reasons. One is that I didn't plan to write this, I wanted someone else to, someone to write a story I wanted to read, howeve rI became tired of that and decided to write the firs chapter myself and after the sucsess of that one did I decide to continue it, so I still have to finsih planning this out and write it, so far I have at least twenty chapters planned, anyways I've rambled on enough, please enjoy this chapter, and rememebr if you want something to listen to the main theme song to this story is Two Worlds by Phil Collins from Disney's Tarzan, I'm working on adding other music to certain chapters, but I'll let you know, now enough of that please read and enjoy.
Chapter IV: Aunts and Uncle
Dani took a big bite out of her peanut-butter and jelly sandwich, it tasted so good. Danny had just finished making it for her, she was glad she finally had something to put in her stomach. Dani couldn't remember the last time she had eaten, or felt so happy, she finally had someone to take care of her. The whole new ground of Danny and her being father and daughter, albeit good was still a little weird; however they would get used to it.
"So how's your PB and J?" Danny asked.
"It's good, I've never had one of these before, but I've heard about them."
"Glad you enjoy it, okay, Dani, after you finish you should go back up to my room; my parents could get here any minute."
"Okay, I'm pretty much done anyways."
She took the last bite of her delicious snack and started to head up to Danny's room, however she stopped in her tracks when she heard the front door of Fenton Works open. Dani gasped and started to panic; then she remembered, she's half-ghost. Dani turned invisible at the last moment as Danny quickly rushed in, Dani continued to make her way to Danny's room. The door opened, and two figures were standing there, however these ones were not going to cause trouble. Danny breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it was Sam and Tucker.
"Oh, it's just you guys, its okay Danielle, its Sam and Tucker."
"Danny, what were you thinking, do you have any idea what's going on out there?" Sam said walking in.
"I have an idea, but you mind clarifying?"
"Dude, every news station in Amity Park was at the site and they all heard you and Dani confirm you're father and daughter, they all think that she's your daughter." Said Tucker as he brought out his trusteed PDA and showed Danny the footage.
"She is my daughter guys, I told you that this morning."
"Dude do you even know what a father is?"
"Yeah, a father is defined as a male being who gives their DNA to create new life and said being would look after and protect its young to the point it would give its life to ensure the safety of their child and it's job is to teach them how to survive and function in the world, or at least that's what I remember from several dictionaries and thesauruses, I might have gotten some of them mixed up, but the bottom line is no matter what a father is defined as, when it comes to Danielle, I fit the bill. Vlad took my DNA and created her with it, he intended to make a clone, however like I told you before, if she was a clone she would be my age and male, Danielle was created using my DNA and I would die before I let anything happen to her."
"Danny we know that; and you know that we're always here to help you, we're cool with the fact you have a daughter, we're just a little worried and concerned about you are going to do now that all of Amity Park knows that Danny Phantom has a daughter." Sam said.
"I don't want to worry about that just yet, I'm planning on lying low for now, what I'm really concerned about is where Dani is going to stay, she can't stay here, I can barely survive here and keep my secret intact."
"Well, if you want, she could stay at my house until you find a more, long-term place"
"No Sam, I couldn't ask you, besides what if your parents find her?
"Danny my house is big enough, she can stay in one of the guest rooms, besides she could always turn invisible and intangible, and besides she doesn't have to stay there, perhaps just sleeping over."
"Thanks Sam, hey guys want to meet her?"
"Dude, we already met her?" Tucker pointed out.
"Well yeah but briefly, I think you guys have had a total of five minutes seeing her, besides, she's got to get to know her Auntie Sam and Uncle Tuck."
Dani was pacing around Danny's room, full of nervousness and happiness. This was one of the happiest days of her life and she was completely scarred. Dani heard footsteps coming towards the door, she turned invisible and ducked under Danny's bed, she didn't hear Danny's earlier; she was already in his room. Did his parents find out, were they coming for her? She gave a small gasp as the door opened, but gave a nervous sigh of relief when she saw her dad and his friends.
"Danielle, where are you?" Danny asked looking around.
"I'm right here." Dani said, coming out from under the bed and turning visible.
"Hey Dani, you know your Uncle Tucker and Auntie Sam right?"
"Uncle, Auntie, but you're not related?" Dani asked in confusion.
"No, Dani were not related, but when your good friends, never mind best friends, and you have a kid or kids, you tend to have them called Uncle or Aunt, but you only call them that if you consider them family, Tucker and Sam are my best friends and if there's anyone I can trust to keep secrets or to talk to its them."
"Oh, okay."
"Also, we decided you're going to be staying over at Auntie Sam's house until we figure something out, she has an extra room you can use and its big enough you can easily hide from her parents an-" Danny started to say, before all four heard a familiar sound, Danny's parents were home.
Jack and Maddie entered their house; they were both confused and excited over the events earlier that day.
"I just can't understand it Mads, how dose Phantom have a daughter."
"Well we don't even know if she is in fact his daughter…yet."
"But ghosts can't have children, they can't conceive like humans can, there just a collection of Ectoplasmic energy being held together by a force related to them, or their obsession."
"Maybe ghosts can create young from Ectoplasmic energy?"
"Or maybe Phantom adopted her?"
"Ghosts can't adopt, besides did you see them, there is no doubt that they look the same and share the same Ectoplasmic energy and genetics, but that doesn't explain the ages, if she was Phantom's daughter then she would be younger, at least like a baby, Phantom's too young to have children, if they even can?"
"Do you think that maybe she is Phantom's daughter, he is a teen, maybe he and someone "did it" when he was alive, then he died, years later the daughter dies, that can explain the age, because we all know ghosts can't age."
"We also thought ghosts can't have children, but apparently they can."
"Hey Mom, hey dad."
The two Fenton parents turned around to see their eldest child, Jasmine "Jazz" Fenton walk into the room. She was carrying a couple books, having just returned from the Amity Park library. She placed them on the table and walked to the fridge and started to pour herself a drink.
"Jazz, did you hear the news?" Jack said excitedly.
"No, but from how your acting your excited, you are only excited if it comes to Ham, Fudge or ghosts, since ghost are like your job, it would have to be something about ghosts."
"Yeah it is about ghosts, but hon, didn't you see the news, all Amity Park knows?" Maddie asked.
"I was at the Library, if some huge ghost thing happened I wouldn't know, so what is it."
"Danny Phantom has a daughter!" Jack said.
Jazz's eyes widened when she heard the words, Danny Phantom and Daughter, she gagged and started to choke on her drink, almost doing a spit take. As she started to recover, she started to replay what her dad said in her head over and over again, she heard him right, Danny Phantom has a daughter, her baby brother has a daughter.
"What!"
"Yeah the GIW were after this ghost girl who looks a lot like The Ghost Kid, then he comes in, she calls him dad, he confirms it and then they both disappear, this is huge, if it turns out she is in fact his daughter then this could change the way we looked at ghosts!" Jack continued to say happily.
"Can you excuse me for a minute?"
Jazz then walked out of the room, as soon as she was out of sight she started to dash upstairs towards her brother's room. She could hardly think, how did her brother, her little brother; already have a daughter. She ran to his room and opened the door, she saw Danny, Tucker and Sam jump in surprise and shock; she could swear she saw a fourth, but for a quick second.
"Jazz, what are you doing, you're supposed to knock first?" Danny said a little angry and worried.
"Danny, are what Mom and Dad saying true?"
"What are they saying?"
"That Danny Phantom has a daughter."
"Yes."
"What, what do you mean yes, how do you have a daughter, you only fifteen!"
"Wait, you don't know about Danielle?"
"Who's Danielle?"
"Oh, I'm sorry Jazz, I thought I told you about her, hey Sam, Tucker can you give us a moment?"
Sam and Tucker nodded and walked out of the room, this was a conversation between brother and sister.
"Okay, Jazz, I'm sorry I thought I told you before, you know Vlad's been trying to get me as his evil apprentice or "son" for some time, well he grew tired of that and decided to try one last time to get that, he tried to clone me, somehow he acquired my DNA and used it to create a clone of me, however something went wrong with his plans and instead of getting me, he got Danielle a twelve-year old, female version of me. He tried to use her to get to me, tricking me making her think he was her father, however I showed her who and what Vlad was really and she helped me stop him and destroy his lab. She then left to explore the world, but came back when she began to d-stabilize, that's when a ghost's structure starts to fall apart and break down in other words dying. She came to me for help, however Vlad hired the Red Huntress to capture her, I was able to convince her that Danielle wasn't evil and she helped me rescue her, but she learned that Dani is a half-ghost, since then, I've been doing some thinking and research, and came to the conclusion, Danielle is my daughter, she was created by my DNA, she is not a clone and I will do anything to protect her and help her, even if I have to give up my secret or life to do so, so yeah Jazz, I have a daughter."
"I never thought Vlad would be crazy enough to actually try to clone you?"
"Neither did I, but he did."
"So Danielle is your daughter, Danny she can't stay here, it's hard enough helping you hide from Mom and Dad, I don't think I can handle two."
"We already discussed that, she decided that she can stay at Sam's until I find a more permanent option, but yeah she's my daughter and your niece, would you like to meet her?"
"Danny I found out I have a niece, of course I want to meet her, where is she?"
"Well you spooked her when you barged in, but she's here, Dani its okay."
Jazz watched in amazement as a little girl turned visible on Danny's bed, she looked just like him, or almost like him. She had his icy-blue eyes and messy raven black hair, she wore a dirty blue hoodie and a dirty red cap, Danny said she was around twelve, obviously physically, but what about mentally, she even looked younger then twelve, she was much smaller then Danny, almost half his size. She hoped down from the bed and nervously hid behind Danny.
"It's okay Danielle, say hi to your Auntie Jazz, oh and this one is related."
"Hi Danielle, I'm your Aunt Jazz, it's so nice to finally meet you."
Dani looked at her and gave a small smile before walking out from behind Dani, if Danny trusted her then so could she.
"Hi, Auntie Jazz, my name's Danielle, but you can call be Dani, that's with an "I" not a "Y"."
"Well I'll leave you two to get acquainted." Danny said starting to leave.
"Where are you going?" Jazz asked.
"It's getting late, it almost time for me to go out on Ghost Patrol with Sam and Tucker."
"But Danny, everybody will be after you, everybody will want you to answer their questions."
"Hello, Ghost Powers, invisibility and flight, I'm just going out to see if there are any ghosts, and besides, most people won't act until tomorrow, there probably just preparing, all I have to worry about is Va- I mean The Red Huntress, besides, if the coast is clear I might take Danielle to the park."
"Really?" Dani asked excitedly.
"You said you wanted me to, if there's no trouble we could go, I'll be back in an hour, have fun."
With that Danny exited his room; Sam and Tucker were outside waiting for him. He gave his parents the slip; they were too busy and excited anyways to notice him. Sam and Tucker hopped on their small motor-scooters as Danny changed into his alter ego Danny Phantom. The three then took off to patrol for ghosts, enjoying the cool fall wind blowing through their hair. Danny was hoping there wasn't any trouble; he really wanted to spend some father/daughter time with Danielle, maybe tonight he would get his wish.
Again I don't know why but I feel this chapter wasn't as strong as the others, if you also think this and have a suggestion to make it better, please let me know, for my next chapter I plan on having Danny confronted by Valerie when he takles Dani to the park, so stay tuned for the confrontation, also the reason Danny was calling Valerie The Red Huntress was because I don't think Jazz knows that Valerie is The Red Huntress, I can't remember if it was ever stated if she knows, if I'm mistaken please let me know so I can fix this, anyways hoped you enjoyed and if you haven't already please favorite and review this chapter, for now I'm taking a little break before I finish writing Chapter 5, so until next time, favor and review
