finally got this posted, hope you enjoy X3
I forgot to mention in the last chapter, what was with Danny's wail, I wanted it to seem out of control, then how it was in the show; it will be more stable once he gets it control.

Chapter 7: New friends part 3
Youngblood's pov.
'Did he really forget what all happened?' I thought as Danny got up, I was surprised as he walked towards me.
"Hi, I'm Danny" he said sticking his hand out waiting for me to shack his. I looked at his hand then back at him, after hesitation I returned the gesture.
"Uhhh, hi Danny, I'm Youngblood... It's nice to meet you?" It sounded more like a question, how I said it, but it wasn't noticed by the younger ghost. When we both let go, silence filled the air.
"Uhh, maybe we should head back; kay?" Johnny said braking the awkward silence; pointing his thumb to the direction of were Ember's lair was.
"Yeah.. I think that's a good idea" Kitty said with hesitation still eyeing Danny.
Danny then started to look around with curiosity, wondering were he was "Where are we? It looks like someone made a bigggg mess" he said stretching his arms out to show how big it was. Me and everyone else stared at him seeing how unaware he was of all of this.
"Uhhhh, nothing... it's uhh..." Johnny tried coming up with an excuse for all this.
"Danny, don't you still want to hear some music, I know for a fact that you would love the band 'Green Day'" Ember said getting way off topic.
"OKAY!" Danny said excitedly, forgetting the question he asked, then ran off.
"How did you know that would work?" I asked Ember, floating over to her.
"Simple, little kids have short attention spans" she said with a sly grin, I lifted one eyebrow.
"How do you know that?" I ask.
"I know you" she said, then started flying back.
I thought over what she had said... "HAY! NOT FUNNY" I yelled, raced off to catch up with her.
Ember's pov.
Getting back to my lair I thought over what to do now. So Danny has no knowledge of what had happened, so Youngblood can have a clean start with the kid. I also know now not to anger the him, It's scary to think how powerful he will become.
"Hey Ember. What do you think we should do?" I turned to face Kitty, Johnny was close behind.
"*Sigh* I'm still trying to come to the concision of what had happened, let alone what to do now" I said looking at Danny, who was talking with Youngblood.
"Well now we have a clue to why Clockwork, took in the kid" Johnny said, I focused my attention back on him.
"True, but I still don't get why he doesn't remember anything that just happened?" I said scratching my head.
"Beeeee cause, you hit him on the head hard" Kitty said, like I was slow.
"I know that, smart-alec, but what I mean is that I didn't hit him hard enough to cause any real damage" I said
"Oh" Kitty said walking behind her boyfriend, knowing I was thinking of hurting her.
"Well maybe he has a soft skull" Johnny said, throwing suggestions.
"Johnny if you think about it, ghost don't have even a skeleton, were made of ectoplasm" I said, he then face-palmed just remembering that little detail.
All three of use looked over at Danny and Youngblood, they were playing with some marbles that Youngblood had brought along.
"Well, whatever or who ever caused the kid's memories go away, thank you" Kitty said, making a joke out of the matter.
"Your quite welcome"
All three of use jumped back in shock hearing the un-familiar voice; we then turned to face it.
I looked to see a ghost with blue skin and red eyes, he ware a purple cloak with -what looked to be- what you would see in a grandfather clock on his chest. 'He couldn't be' I thought looking at him with wide eyes, I then noticed a medallion around my neck as well as around Johnny and Kitty, I looked back to see Danny and Youngblood frozen in place with even a few marbles in mid-air frozen, I looked back at the ghost with a confused look.
"Hehehe your wondering if I am who you think I am" he said will a sly look on his face, I could tell it was a statement then a question 'yep that's him'.
"Clockwork" all three of us said in unison.
"Wait, I don't get it, why would you suppress, your own student's thoughts like that?" I said, still in awe about him in my precise like this.
"To simply put it, it would be better if Daniel doesn't remember today's event that took place, but it would also be wise for all of you to know so you can make shore it will never happen again" he floated over to the two frozen-in-place kids, we soon followed close behind.
"But why, can't you just make it like it never happened" Johnny said trying to get the upper hand.
"Then how could you have learned anything out of this whole ordeal?" the Time master replied, without skipping a beat.
Johnny soon shut up, probably knowing he wouldn't win this. I turned my attention to the ghost of time, still wanting answers.
"Okay, we understand why you would block his memories? But why would we need to learn anything out of this?" Clockwork then changed forms from that of a adult to a old man, it a long white beard.
"Well, upon meeting Daniel, you have learned that there is more than there really seem, and to put it simply Daniel needs guidance in many things, I merely can teach him so far in study's, as well as Ghostwriter, and you all can teach him many skills as well that he can use for the future. Also there's the main concern for him...".
"He needs friends" I figured out what he was going to say.
Clockwork's pov.
I know I can count on these ghost to help Daniel, in many ways... even if some of the future out comes will be more trouble then there worth. I looked at the three ghost who stand before me; Daniel needs friends to help him grow.
"Sooooo your going to let use be friends with him" Jonathan pointing down at Daniel "even I know I'm not the best influence; are you shore?".
"I am aware of your history Jonathan, as well as your future" I could see he wasn't to pleased about me calling him by his formal name, but held his tough.
"I still don't understand why Danny is so powerful or how he doesn't even know his own obsession" Katherine said.
"Daniel is ment to do many things but it is only in time where it can be shown, as for his obsession, it will be quite clear in time" I explained.
"In other words, your not telling" she stated back crossing her arms.
"In a scene, yes" every now and then I have to have a little fun.
"Great, so now what are you going to do, take Danny and let him come over every other week" Amber, -or what she prefers Ember- said already jumping to conclusions.
"It all depends on what Daniel wants" I said staring to fly off, I turned towards the three teens "Oh, when I leave tell Daniel to return to the lair before seven, he still has school tomorrow".
I then left by portal, but not before taking back the medallions -without them knowing of course- and began time again.
Johnny's pov.
'Okay, really, using my real name, I use Johnny for a reason' I thought as the Master of Time left. I'm glad he going to let use be friends with the kid, but... Why? What did he even mean by we can teach him.
Everything began to began again as I hear marbles scatter onto the ground, the two kids look up at us surprised.
"Hey, how did you get over here so fast?" Youngblood said pointing to where we were to were we are now.
"Uhhhhh, we're, that, skilled?" Kitty said trying to come up with an excuse, you could tell Youngblood didn't buy it, Danny on the other hand.
"Cool! You guys are so awesome, can you show me how you did that" the white haired ghost said, jumping to his feet.
"Hehehe uh, we'll teach you when your older" Ember said, Danny only replied by crossing his arms and pouted at the answer.
Kitty -who was next to me- whisperer in by ear "I'm going to show Danny around a little, to give you guys enough time to get Youngblood up to date on everything; okay?" she then walked over to Danny, they then headed in the other direction.
"So what going on" I turned to face Youngblood who was ready to hear.
Danny's pov.
Youngblood is really fun to play with, we played over near a bolder, away from everyone else; he brought over marbles -I never played before, but he taught me- it's really fun and there are lots of pretty colors, my favorite one is the blue with a neat green swirls in it.
"I like this one" I held it to my eye to show Youngblood how cool it was. He looked at me and smiled.
"Then you can have it, I have one similar at my lair" I looked at him in shock.
"Really?" I said lowering my hand with the marble still in my grip.
"Yeah, call it a gift, here you can have a few more" he opened a small bag that was filled with colorful marbles, they were really cool, there was lots of different colors.
"Wow" I said, as Youngblood let the marbles scatter on the ground.
"There you go, I have copies of these so I don't care how many you take" he said spreading them out so I could see them more.
"Thank you" I said starting to pick them up.
I picked up a red striped one and white clear one with black spots -when you looked through, the spots looked like bubbles- there was a purple one that I thought was the prettiest out of all of them, it made me feel warm inside -even though I can't- I don't know why, but I liked it, I got some others that Youngblood said was called cat-eyes, also a few green once and black and white one that looked like it was half and half, a orange one and a blue with others that I really think are cool; after I was done I put them in my bag, Youngblood said he can bring some more next time we play.
"Now lets play again, I begging to think your cheating" Youngblood said, but I could tell he was playing, I showed my biggest smile to show that I was proud; we had played about five times and I had won three -I maybe a little slow in math, but I know that I was in the lead- this would be ether, another draw or our final game.
As we played, I looked over at three teenagers, they looked worried about something; but what? I then looked at Youngblood.
"Is there something wrong?" my new friend looked up surprised.
"What? No, no... nothings wrong" I don't get it, he looked worried about something.
"Are you sure, ever since we came back you guys have been looking sad" I said, then something dawned on me. "Hay, is Ember still going to sing 'Green Day' that band sounds neat"
"Hehehe well we're just thinking about stuff, and I think Ember will sing in a little bit; so come on I'm about to win" I looked down at the game there were only a few marbles left and most were his. I was not going to loss, so I got out my new favorite marble -the blue with a green swirl and aimed it at his.
Once I shot at my target, I got really luck, because the marble I hit his which bounced at another of his which bounced in the air and fell on two more that were close together making them bonce in the air as well, but as they were in the air, I felt a familiar sensation, but I couldn't figure out what.
The next thing I know, Ember Johnny and Kitty were next to us, which surprised both me and Youngblood.
"Hey, how did you get over here so fast?" Youngblood said pointing in the two spots they were in
I looked over at them ready to hear them answer "Uhhhhh, we're, that, skilled?" Kitty was the first one say something, I was amazed.
I asked if they could show me, but Ember said I had to wait until I'm older, that's bunk if you asked me.
I saw Kitty wispier something to Johnny then walk over to me "hey, Danny want to see more of the lair" I jumped up and down happily walking with Kitty to see more cool stuff.
We looked around for a little bit in silence seeing all the neat things, until Kitty said something.
"Oh! Danny I almost forgot to say that you should head, back before seven so you can get ready for school tomorrow; kay?" nuts, I almost forgot and I don't want to go to school tomorrow.
What I learned today was that the hours are set for 24, Ghostwriter told me that it's easy to remember what time it is just by the pattern of how everything goes. I've learned to count the hours -I just need to practice minutes- so it should be 6 or something.
"Then I should go" I said walking back to everyone to say goodbye.
"Wha-wait, I don't mean it's time to go now, I just mean when it's about 6:30, you should go" Kitty said.
"I know, it's 6 something, it's time to go" I started to fly, with Kitty close behind.
"Oh, okay" Kitty said as we flow.
When we got back everyone was in a group talking. Me and Kitty floated to the ground and began to walk over.
"Hi!" I waved happy they also wave making me happy, I'm glad to have friend's like them.
"Hey squirt, back so soon" I glared at Johnny for calling me that, but I was still happy.
"Yep, It's six, Kitty said I should head home because it's almost seven" I said, while everyone looked at me, they looked surprised for some reason.
"How do you know what time it is" Ember said to me, I shrugged.
"I don't know minutes but hours are easy and Ghostwriter told me a trick how to know what time it is even without a watch" I said proudly.
"Then how?" Johnny said crossing his arm, I smiled because I came up with an idea.
"I'll tell you how when you tell me how you did that neat trick" I still want to know how they did that.
The three teens gave each other weird glances 'they do that a lot' then looked at me. "Fine, then we'll never know" Ember said with a grin, 'no far'.
I pouted but then smiled "well bye, bye" I started to float off the ground, "see you tomorrow" they also waved back, I was happy to have friends.
Youngblood's pov.
As Danny floated off I started to think that I finally have someone about my age who can play with me. I mean it's great to have Ember, Johnny and Kitty as friends but I also need someone my age so I was glad to 'really' meet Danny.
I then started to think how similar we are, Ember told me that we died the same way -though I died of pneumonia- yet we became ghost for different results, ether way I'm glad to have a fresh start with the kid, I still regret what I did in the begging -that's why I gave him the marbles, he liked them so much so why not- I just hope we'll be best of friends.
"Come on brat, time for you to get to bed" I looked at Ember who was looking down at me.
"Bed? No way! I am not going to bed, not this early at least" I said in protest.
"Oh, yes you are, after what happened today, I think you should" I opened my mouth to say this was, so not far, but saw if I did, my head was going to meet her fist -and I do not want to experience that again- so I kept my mouth shut.
"Fine" I said simply following her back to my lair -she would do this when I'm in trouble a lot- I said bye to Kitty and Johnny as we set off.
Johnny's pov.
Okay, today did not go as we expected it to, for one finding a portal to the 'Human Realm' -Failure-, two, we meet a kid who is THE Time Master's Apprentice -talk about knowing people- to add to that, we find out that he may be more powerful than all of us combined, and finally three, we meet Clockwork himself, who tells use we can be friends with him; and he tells us we will teach him in time to come? Talk about a day.
I look over at Kitty who was lost in thought.
"Hay, you okay" I said, scaring her out of though.
"What who, oh, yes I'm okay... Just thinking about stuff..." she replied, trailing off, I put my arm over her shoulder.
"Let go back to the lair okay, besides, I think our luck has turned up having Danny along, just wait" I reassured her leading us to the bike, she just smiled up at me and kissed me on the check.
Danny's pov.
Once back at the clock-tower, I flow over to Clockwork who was watching a couple and a little girl about my age fighting, I didn't see much because the screen changed to a green swirl again, but I could tell the couple liked bright colors and the little girl liked dark.
"Hi, Clocky" I said with glee, flying next to my mentor, he looked at me while he changed from a baby to and adult and smiled.
"Your right on time" I smiled at that, I was glad I was doing good. "Now off to bed" I then frowned, I don't want to.
"But I want to tell you all that happened today" I said, trying to get out of sleeping.
"Hehehe yes I am aware you want to tell me but you can in the morning, now off you go" he said pointing his staff to the stairs.
"But" I said but he gave me 'the look' so I just knotted and walked off, when I reached the stairs I heard Clocky say something.
"Oh, and by the way Ghostwriter told me to tell you that there's a big surprise for you tomorrow -something about space- but you have to go to bed so you can see it!" a grin spread across my face at that 'YAY! Space!'.
"OKAY!" I said as loud as I could I could feel everything shake, but I didn't care I get to learn more about space.
Clockwork's pov.
Hehehe hyper as all ways, but because of today's events the Observants are going to keep a close eye on him *sigh* best thing to do now is teach him how to keep that little power in check.
I looked at the viewing screen, to see Daniel claiming into bed -with yet again, his goggles on- he has a bad habit of doing that; I would wait till he was fast asleep before going to his room to remove them, it wasn't wise to ware something like that to bed, and I have told him before, but I know he wasn't listening. Besides in time to come he'll learn.
The screen changed to a new couple and their daughter, the mother ware a blue HAZMAT suit and the father wore a orange one, the daughter was of the age eight and was reading a book on psychology. The family sat in the living room; the parents working on a strange invention while the little girl every now and then was questioning what they were doing.
"Jack were did you put the ecto-serum, we need to stabilize the Fenton ray, or it will explode if used" the woman said to her husband.
"Oh it, Maddie!" The man named Jack said as he made his way down to a lab. The little girl looked up from her book once the man returned.
"I still say, you two should get real jobs than trying to hunt down ghost -witch do, not, EXIST- it's stupid" the little girl said to her parents. The two grown ups gave each other looks.
"Jazz, we know you think this is silly, but we believe that there are ghost that exist, and one day we will prove it" Maddie -or Madeline as it is really is- said to her daughter. The little girl was not convinced.
"Then how will you?" Jazz said.
"We're working on a way to open a portal from our world to -what it's know as- The 'Ghost Zone'. Wont that be neat?" Jack explained with glee " We think we found what went wrong the last time".
"That's right; here's a cookie" Jack happily took the cookie and ate it in one gulp. The little girl sighed, marking her book to close it then headed off to bed.
The little girl walked over to a picture frame that held a photo of her and a little boy with raven black hair and china blue eyes, "night Danny, I hope your sleeping of stars and rocket ships" she then walked over to her mother and father "night mommy" she kissed her mother on the check, "night daddy" she repeated the act, then headed for the stares, up to her room.
Jack and Madeline sighed heavily, they all grieved over the loss of the small boy, but the two adults held strong for the daughter; they then continued there work, taking the rest of it down to the lab so the can get started on the more complicated parts of there project.
I smiled sadly for the family, "In Time Daniel, you and your family will reunite".
