A/N: I had a complaint about the style of the story, and I would like to make something clear. I asked T-Rex 989 if the story should be a one shot with alternating POV or one chapter per character. The latter was the choice so that's the way it is.

Maurice

I was sitting in the train car cage with my wife situated between the Fentons and the Mansons. Hard to imagine three days ago, my life was the picture of the definition of normal: great job, beautiful wife, smart son…

But then it all changed as soon as I saw the local town hero (or villain depending on who you ask) turn into my son's best friend, Danny Fenton.

Now, I have nothing against the Fentons. Danny was there for Tucker when he needed a friend and vice versa. But I know nothing about ghost hunting and I'm not entirely sure just how safe and accurate the Fenton's invention. After all, look at what happened to their own son.

"Are you okay?" I ask my wife

"Yeah" Cheryl (A/N: I'm guessing here) said. "Just…I wonder just how deep in this Tucker and Sam are."

"We'll have to ask" I told her before looking between the other two train cars surrounding us holding the Mansons and the Fentons. "When did our life become situated in a Romeo and Juliet meets Spiderman?"

Cheryl rolled her eyes obviously realizing that I was just trying to liven up the mood.

"When our son became best friends with Sam Manson and Danny Fenton." She answered. "And then…whatever happened to make Danny Fenton Danny Phantom"

Now that Cheryl said the two alter egos of my son's best friend, I can't help but to wonder how NOBODY saw this coming. The two looked alike, sounded alike, and heck, their NAMES should have been a dead giveaway….no pun intended.

Suddenly, in a flash of Lydia's tattoos, the kids appeared, Danny in his Phantom form

"Well, well. Look what the bats dragged in. with my reality gems" Freakshow said as he approached the kids.

I noticed Cheryl jerking a bit as if just daring Freakshow to touch her baby boy.

"I don't think so." Danny declared as he held on tight to a mechanical thermos. However, Lydia's tattoos got it and tied up the kids " Wha- Oh no"

Freakshow poured out the gems into his hand and placed them one by one into the gauntlet

"The gem of life, the gem of form. The Gem of fantasy. And put them with the power source and… thanks to you I now know how to activate the gauntlet"

He pushed the gems as buttons in a certain code while laughing

"Danny! Stop him!" Sam yelled

Danny struggled in the binds

"I can't break free!" he grunted

"Thanks to you. I am now Ringmaster of all reality!"

Reality started to change around us

"Neato huh?" he asked

Let 'em go, Freakshow. I brought you the gems. We had a deal!" Danny demanded.

This the same kid whom Tucker met when they were stuffed in a trash can together?

"The deal was bring me the gems if you want to see them alive again. Well, here they are…alive…for now."

Typical villains. Always going back on his word.

The next thing I knew, I'm in a roller coaster car with Cheryl, once again between the Mansons and the Fentons. I noticed that Tucker is up front with Sam. Also that along the ride, there's a Fire-breathing clown head that pops up like a Jack-in-the-Box, rock hammers, and the end of the ride ski jumps into a tub of toxic waste.

This should be fun. (hint the sarcasm)

Then, the ride starts and we all start screaming. I haven't been on a roller coaster since Tucker was 10.

Suddenly, Freakshow's voice booms over a crowd.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Freaks of all ages. May I direct your attention to the center ring where Danny Phantom, a.k.a. Danny Fenton will attempt to rescue his friends and family from a ghastly doom of my own construction"

Danny flew in front of the car before a yellow flash hit him and he turned into a jelly like material

"Hey! What did you…oh man"

The next thing I knew, that brownish jelly-like material went flying all over

"Only to be stopped at every turn by the master of all reality"

"Danny!" Sam shouted

"It can't be!" Tucker gasped

"No!" Jack Fenton shouted behind me.

"Danny!" Maddie Fenton gasped before shouting as she tried to leave the moving car, "NOOO!"

Jack pulled his now sobbing wife back into the car.

Cheryl and I turned to each other as realization hits us at the same time.

Danny's dead.

I pulled my wife into a hug as it also hits us that there's nobody who can save us now.

"What's that? You want more?" Freakshow asked the crowd

"Yeah!"

"Well, since you insist, I'll give you more. MUCH more"

More reality changed

"It's all mine now. My revenge. Your nightmare. There. A kingdom fit for a freak. And a Freakdom fit for king!"

We turned another bank causing us all to scream

I then noticed the approaching fire-breathing clown.

I grip Cheryl tighter wishing Tucker was sharing the car with us.

Suddenly, a green and white ecto-shield came between us and the fire. I noticed a black and white form between us and the shield.

It's Danny.

"Danny!" Jazz exclaimed

"He's alive!" Jack added happily

"He has ghost envy! Use psychology!" Jazz yelled at her brother.

I turned to her wondering what she was talking about. These past three days she had mentioned a few things about ghost envy, but I never understood it."

"Psychology? That's it!" Danny exclaimed as he face brightened.

He flew above us as we approached the rock hammers. Before we got to them, he blasted them with an ecto-blast wearing a satisfied smirk

"Oh no. You do not get to leave this world with a smile" Freakshow told Danny angrily

"Why wouldn't I smile? So what if you're the most powerful human on earth? No matter what you do, I'm half ghost and…uh…you're not"

Wow. This being the ghost kid has worked WONDERS on Danny's personality

"I am the master of all reality" Freakshow pointed out

"Oh sure, but can you do this?" Danny bragged as he stretched to a C shape to avoid a blast

The crowd cheers

"What? NO! He's not the star of this circus! I am! ME!" Freakshow shouted desperately.

I'm DEFINITELY seeing the ghost envy now

"Ghost powers" Danny bragged as he vanished and reappeared with his hands glowing green "Ghost energy. Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

With each 'ghost' he shot the blast and made a smiley face in Freakshow's top hat.

The crowd cheers again

"I WILL NOT BE UPSTAGED BY A GHOST!" Freakshow shouted as he threw a tantrum

Wow. Tucker hadn't acted like that since he was two.

The crowd Boos and throws trash and food at the giant Freakshow

Danny said something but it was drowned out by the crowd

"Enough! I may be loosing control of the crowd, but I control all reality. And if you think being a half ghost is so cool," Freakshow shouted before pushing a button on the gauntlet after knocking Danny to the ground

Half-ghost? Is that possible?

"What do you think of me, now that I'm ALL ghost!" Freakshow asked after having changed himself into a real ghost

Danny grabbed that metal thermos and a blue beam sucked Freakshow into it with the gauntlet falling to the ground.

Great. Now add Ghostbusters to that list.

I heard Cheryl gasp. I turned and saw that we're heading STRAIGHT for the tub of nuclear waste.

I screamed.

This was the end!

When we hit, we were in just plain water. I surfaced and noticed that the tub was now a giant rubber ducky pool.

Danny landed on the edge wearing the gauntlet looking at Sam and Tucker frantically

"Are you guys okay?" he asked them before turning to the Mansons, Cheryl, and me " Oh. Hi Mr. and Mrs. Manson. Mr. and Mrs. Foley."

Somehow, he's still the same Danny Tucker introduced me to at the park when he was four

Suddenly, Lydia appeared looking pretty mad

Danny just smirked and turned the glowing yellow gauntlet at her.

"And as for you…" he said.

She then turned into a fish, hammer, apple, and teddy bear before back to normal

She fled screaming

Danny flew up, flashed the gauntlet white, and everything turned back to normal. Then he flew down and two white rings surrounded him turning him back into the Danny Fenton who would come by on weekends.

"Danny!" Jack shouted

"Okay. While the Fentons deal with that," Cheryl said turning to Tucker and Sam. "Would someone PLEASE tell me what the heck is going on here?"

I can't help but to chuckle at my wife even though I agree that I am confused at how Danny Fenton became Danny Phantom

"What do you want to know Mom?" Tucker asked

"How Danny Fenton became Danny Phantom in the first place is a good place to start." I suggested. "Or what Freakshow has against him"

"The how's easy" Sam said. "Danny got caught in the Fenton portal when it turned on. The ectoplasm got…I guess fused to his DNA."

"And how did you end up ghost fighting young lady?" Pam demanded

"It was Sam's fault the accident happened" Tucker tattled as he pointed to Sam

Sam whacked him on the arm. Probably because of how quick he was to tattle.

"Explain" Jeremy said obviously not happy that his little girl was being blamed

"I talked Danny into going into the portal to check it out." Sam explained

"Were you two alright?" I asked a bit concerned for Tucker's safety

"Yeah. We were at a safe distance." Tucker answered. "And we know what we're doing with the ghost hunting."

"So you can't stop us" Sam said

Suddenly, all went black

00000

When I came back around, I was at home. It was my day off as I was going to help Tucker pack for his cross-country trip with Danny and Sam.

"Did Tucker pack his lap top?" Cheryl called from the kitchen.

Whoa. Déjà vu.
