"Hey, what are you waiting for? You kids should head to school before you get into trouble." At this both teens looked at each other and back at the two adults leading Sammy into the house. "Bye now!"


"That was so weird," Sam said as the three teens sat at lunch, Sam munching on a salad as Tucker inhaled his hamburger, the sauce dripping down his chin. He wiped it with his hand as he nodded.

"Sound pretty whack," the geek stated before taking another bite of his burger. Danny held his food before him as he also nodded. "I mean, a little girl shows up looking like Sam with her hairstyle, but ends up being Danny's relative. I think Vlad is behind this one." Danny and Sam shook their heads. "Why?"

"Farfetched like his cloning of Danny, but not like it. This girl is too controlled. Remember, Vlad wanted a son with powers like Danny, yet this girl holds no such powers." Tucker shook his head.

"Not that you have seen," he pointed out as the sounds around them grew louder. Danny finished his food and picking up his tray headed for the trash. Tucker and Sam were both right. She hadn't shown any ghost powers, but she had powers. She could stop time and control people so there was something that she was capable, but it didn't make sense that she would openly live with him. Danni, his clone, had hidden from his parents because she had known that had she been found then her story would have been proven a lie. Sammy didn't have that worry. Could clones control others? He wasn't sure, but he knew that he had to make sure that it wasn't Vlad. "Danny!" Tucker called as he and Sam headed over to the trash. "We need to get out of here so we can talk without all this commotion." The halfa nodded. As Sam threw the last of their trash away they headed out into the halls where no one was at that moment, all of them in the lunchroom or in their classes.

"She doesn't even look all that bad," Sam said with a shrug. "She seemed kinda smart for a kid her age, but if she really is your relative then that would make sense. Your mom and sister are super geniuses." Danny nodded. "The only thing that keeps throwing me are her smiles and those eyes of hers. They look like mine in a weird way, but if she's your relative then why are her eyes the same tint as mine?" Both males shrugged. That was a huge issue with the appearance of the young relative. "Her hairstyle is also loosely based off mine, but that could just be a coincidence."

"She was born in August and she is six. Where were you two in August?" the techno-geek inquired with a smirk. Both teens turned red as the turned to their friend.

"TUCKER!" both screamed in unison. The dark skinned male shrugged.

"Can't blame a guy for asking," was his response. At that Sam knocked him upside the head. "Ouch."


Sammy sat in Danny's room, her large eyes taking in everything.

"Wow, he likes space, but he never became what he wanted," the dark haired girl stated to the empty room. "Mom said that he had gotten go out into space several different times as a teen so I guess it wore out the awe of it." Just then Jazz stuck her head into the room. Sammy had gotten her later that morning when the adult had appeared at the front door. She had always loved her aunt Jazzy. The girl had worn her out with her analyzing, but Sammy was just as smart and had turned all her questions back at her with little thought to them.

"Sammy?" the red headed adult said as she glanced into the room. "What'cha doing in here?" Sammy smiled at the older female. "Are you checking out Danny's room?" The dark haired girl shook her head.

"No, just chilling." Sammy had quite a vocabulary of slang, but as her mother and father had talked relaxed around her that was no surprise. Tuck wasn't much better so the girl had little to no manners. "I was thinking of taking a small nap until Dad- Danny comes home." Dang! She had almost let that slip. Clockwork would have her head if they had found out before they officially got together. That was why she was here after all. Her mother and father were about to find some difficult turbulence with their relationship when something bad happened to her mom. She was here to make sure that it didn't happen exactly like Clockwork had seen it. If that happened then she wouldn't be born and her father would turn evil and destroy a lot of people. Her mother meant the world to him and her death was a trigger that should never happen while they were young. When Clockwork had come to them with the problem Sammy had readily agreed. Her parents had not been shocked and although they were worried they also trusted Clockwork to take good care of her. In her time everything was okay, but there were many ways that time could change. This time it was someone who should not have been to begin with, but with that last change to the timeline this person had come out. Dan. That name still made her shiver. That evil side of her father had been locked away, but he had broken out and with a strike to Clockwork had headed out to kill the reason for his demise. Sam.


Said person was walking with Tucker and Danny when she felt her skin crawl, like something wasn't right in the area.

"You okay?" the halfa inquired of the female between the two males. Sam nodded.

"Just a little cold, I guess." Danny cocked his head to the side as he looked her up and down. Something was definitely wrong, but he wouldn't push her. He knew that she would come to him is it was truly important. As they grew closer to her house the feeling grew in her chest. Something was definitely wrong here. She stopped and held out her hands to stop the other teens. Danny and Tucker looked at her in confusion as an explosion happened to the right, the car that had been sitting there burst into flames. Pieces flew over them as Danny reacted immediately, his ghost shield coming up around the trio. Sam stood there in shock. That was her parent's car! What happened if they hadn't stopped?

"Sam?" Danny said questioningly. The Goth turned to him, her skin pale with fear.

"I think that was meant for us."


So, what do you think? Nice place to leave off.
