Reply to fan reader's review: first of all - I agree, DanixDanny is so wrong, she's his clone, they're family - closer then that, it's not even incest, it's something worse...as for TuckerxJazz...I read one story of them & I've always liked it. As for the age difference - my parents are two years apart. Well, technically a year and half...but still. My friend was going out with a guy two and a half years older then her a while back - a lot of couples &marriages are in that frame. I think it's when you hit five that it's going to far...four might be pushing it a little too.
OK, on other stuff...this chapter is way longer then it was meant to be. Just a warning - it's as long as the other half of the story.
Everybody filed into the cabin chattering amongst themselves, all wondering the same thing – what was going on? They'd all received the same letter that Sunday morning, asking them to go to the extra cabin at the back of the circus grounds at seven. No one knew who it had come from or why they'd been asked to go there, but they were all curious.
"Danny, stop glaring at Tucker," Sam said annoyed as she kicked Danny sitting beside her. He just shot her a look before continuing to glare at his former best friend. Ever since that day when Danny had found out Tucker liked his sister, they hadn't said a word to each other. Tucker had been avoiding Danny as much as possible and Danny had been glaring at him every chance he got. It was annoying the hell out of Sam, her two best friends staying as far away from each other as possible, while Jazz was just staying locked up in the Records room.
Of course, everybody at the circus knew, they'd all been wondering why the two were so angry at each other, and the story had eventually gotten around. It had been a shock to everybody – Jazz and Tucker? – they just couldn't see it, but, hey, everybody had their own choices.
Everybody turned their heads to the front of the room as somebody cleared their throat to see the new girl, Dani Phantom, standing there with an odd looking machine beside her. Everybody raised their eyebrows as a few people leaned forward where they sat.
"Well everybody, I'd personally like to thank you for so openly welcoming me to Amity Circus, I like it very much here," Dani said with a grin nodding her head slightly to Freakshow.
"We have open arms to whomever wishes to join," Freakshow said as he bowed his head back.
"Well, I've gotten to know many of you here, some more than you think," A few raised their eyebrows at these words and more muttering began as their curiosity increased. "So I'd like to tell you a bit more about me – especially since I've heard some very curious questions about the outside world so I'd thought I'd clear them up." Many people moved forward eagerly in their seats while the fortune teller, Desiree Ferah, raised an eyebrow slightly.
"I was looking through your storage unit and I found two very curious inventions – and, combining them together, I was able to create this," Dani waved her hand at the odd looking machine beside her that was hooked up to a projector which was pointing at a projector screen (as they didn't have an T.V.'s). "With this I will be able to let you see select memories of mine to show you, not only stuff about myself, but the outside world you have so many questions about."
Murmurs took up amongst everybody as Desiree Ferah's eyes raised even more and her lips pressed together. Dani looked around and caught her eye, raising a slight eyebrow. Desiree just tilted her head to the side for a second before sighing and shrugging. Her win, it seemed.
"OK, here we go," Dani said placing a metal head circlet on her head (having removed her hat) and pressing a few buttons on the odd looking machines. A light flickered before an image appeared. "Oh, and you'll be viewing this, not from my eyes but as though an observer," Dani added quickly before it started playing.
The image showed Dani lying on a metal table, her eyes fluttering open. Above her was an odd looking creature that was a blue colour, wore a cloak and had fangs. Everybody's eyes widened.
"Analysis," The figure said and a fuzzy image of Maddie Fenton in a jumpsuit showed up, standing over the girl. A screen came down and a whole bunch of data came up on it.
"Unstable," The Maddie image said and the man (if you could call him that) hit the table.
"Why can't I make one stable clone?" He said and Dani's eyes widened.
"I'm a...a...what?" Dani gasped as she sat up, seeming to understand perfectly what the statement meant though not knowing how.
"A clone, dear, of Daniel Fenton," The man said and many in the room's eyes widened, "Though in his ghost form he is known as Danny Phantom."
"In what?" Dani asked looking confused.
"Your ghost form," The man – or ghost? – said as he gestured to himself. Suddenly to blue rings started moving across his body and he was Vlad Masters.
Everybody gaped at the screen as they took in what they just saw. But that made no sense. Well, the girl being a copy of Danny did, that would explain so much, but ghost form? And then, Vlad...everybody was confused.
It showed Dani sitting on a bed in a room flipping through a magazine. Suddenly Danny was there, talking on the phone and looked at her in shock, asking who she was. She replied, "I'm Danielle, your third cousin once removed. Hey, got any food?"
Everybody furrowed their eyebrows, wondering why Dani would be lying (still not full convinced these 'memories' were true) as Danny muttered into the phone that he had to go and Sam's voice replied sarcastically "Sure, you do." A few people couldn't help but smile at that response.
The scene changed to Dani sitting on the bed eating as Danny watched her, and her openly burping (a few girls made faces at that while some guys looked impressed, it wasn't easy finding a girl that would openly do that. Then again, she was a clone of a guy, apparently.) Suddenly, as she looked at the posters on his wall Dani said, "You, want to be an astronaut? Did you know they only chose one hundred people-" Suddenly Danny started talking with her "To go into the space program."
"Ya, I knew that, how did you?" Danny said, and the Danny watching couldn't help but wonder if he'd like to be an astronaut if he knew about it. He'd have to look into it.
"Dumpty Humpty, those guys rock," Dani said, picking up a CD while somebody in the audience snorted at the name of the band.
"Ya, I knew that too. Had enough to eat?" Danny asked and everybody couldn't help but start to believe that the two were clones – she was so much like him. That was, if the memories were real.
"Mhm," Dani said as she smiled at him.
"Then it's time to talk to my parents," Danny said, grabbing her arm as Dani cried 'No'.
"Look, you say you're my cousin, and maybe you are, but we still have to call your parents," Danny said as he pulled her out of his room. Somebody mumbled 'party pooper'.
"I said no," The girl said, tearing her arm away and running back into his room.
"Hey, come back!" Danny yelled as he chased after her. Everybody looked confused as he said "Man, she's fast," As they could she her perfectly fine, standing behind him – it wasn't until they saw the blue haze that they realized she was invisible. Suddenly Danny changed and everybody's eyes widened as he appeared into what had to be his 'ghost form' and went out the room, Dani doing the same thing and following, they still assuming her invisible.
Suddenly Danny was fighting what they had to assume was another ghost, everybody gasped as Dani turned back into her human form and walked up, yelling, "Hey, leave him alone," To the other ghost.
"Get out of here!" Danny yelled, trying to get out of his position. Everybody rolled their eyes as a few girls mumbled 'boys'.
"Forget it, I know who you are, and I came a long way to find you and I'm not leaving now," Dani said as she crossed her arms and changed into her ghost form. Apparently it wasn't a common thing (even though every person they'd seen so far could do so) because Danny looked seriously shocked. Dani attacked the ghost, setting him free.
"How –?" Danny asked obviously confused before the ghost came back.
"Do you want to ask questions or do you want to quick butt?" Dani asked before they both attacked the ghost defeating it.
"It's getting weirder and weirder. And I have a lot of questions! When we get back my parents are..." Danny said before Dani passed out into his arms. "And I guess we'll have to answer those questions tomorrow." Danny said before Dani smirked and everybody realized she'd faked it just making them all confused then they were originally.
The next memory started out in what appeared to be a school cafeteria. Every kid sat forward looking excited as it showed Danny talking to Sam and Tucker. Tucker couldn't help but smile slightly. At least they were friends there. Then Dani came up through the table, knocking a tray to splatter over Sam and Tucker. The two watching frowned at this as Danny flinched away from Sam, afraid she'd hit him. Danny and Dani talked off to the side (Danny actually being the sensible one – what a surprise!) when Dani suggested messing up Dash, who was a jerk there just like who usually was here – even if he was a clown.
"Wow," Danny said, "You like NASA and you already hate Dash – maybe we are related." A few people snorted at this as Dash glared at Danny – it wasn't very effective as he still had a little bit of clown makeup on. "How about you tell me how you got those powers in the first place?" Danny finished when another (very small) ghost came, freaking out (and making a mess of) those in the cafeteria.
"Shall we?" Dani said.
"I-I still have questions," Was Danny's reply.
"Let's catch that thing – and after that, you'll learn everything," Everybody couldn't help but be wary of that. As the two chased the ghost Dani challenged Danny to a race who accepted it and Dani fell back immensely after that (some couldn't help but think almost on purpose). Suddenly Dani stopped and landed on the ground. A crash was heard and Dani went around the building to see Danny fighting that other ghost who they remembered had been Vlad.
Dani landed behind Danny who said, "Help me, do something!"
As Dani smirked (which made a few people shiver) she said "Oh trust me, I am." Going against him and with their combined powers, Danny was knocked out. Everybody gasped.
Danny panted as he changed back to his normal self and said "I don't understand."
"Did I do good Daddy?" Dani asked in a child's voice as though asking for praise and a few people's mouths dropped open.
"You did excellent child, I could not wish for a better daughter," Vlad said and the image faded as Danny passed out and Vlad's (definitely evil) laughing could be heard. More shivers followed.
"I am totally lost," Danny muttered as he glanced over at Sam who nodded back. These memories were making no sense, and definitely not making them like her better. Many people were also glaring at Vlad who was moving uncomfortably in their seats.
The scene changed to show Dani in her ghost form (invisible, they reminded themselves as they saw they blue haze around her) go through a wall into what looked like a lab. Danny was trapped in a box of sorts and Vlad was floating in front of him saying "All I wanted was love," Before pressing a button to reveal an exact clone of Danny. "It's taken months, and the good clone still needs time to accept your DNA." Suddenly many couldn't help but feel sympathy towards the girl, basically having just been told she was a 'failure'.
"So those ghosts..." Danny said as the small one circled him.
"Bad clones, mistakes," Vlad said and a few hissed as the girl was floating right there listening to this. "And I would watch a hundred more failures devolve into ectoplasium to get the perfect half-ghost son." Many faces were made at this and a few people were inching away from Vlad.
"Oh ya," Danny said with a laugh, "Nothing loopy about that." Many had to agree.
"Are you under the impression you're getting out of this? I need a DNA sample of you mid-morph to complete my work." Vlad said and with a snap of his fingers the small 'clone' went inside Danny obviously trying to force him to take control of him.
"Get out of me!" Danny said in obvious pain and Maddie whimpered as Jazz's hands clenched.
"And then you will be obsolete," Vlad said before the memory changed to Danny in some sort of machine that the hologram Maddie was controlling, the ghost inside him trying to force him to morph. Danny kept on resisting until the machine was overloaded and exploded and he made it out, obviously weak, trying to float away.
"Ah, I will – Danielle, how long have you been floating there?" Vlad said as Danny floated off and he turned around to see Dani.
"Am I an imperfection? A mistake?" Dani asked, tears in her eyes causing a few people watching to 'aww'.
"What? Ah-ha, dearest, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the other clones," Vlad said, the clone that had attempted to force Danny to morph coming out and melting. Dani screamed. "I know, it's horrible, isn't it? That's why I need Daniel's DNA, to stabilize you, my greatest creation." By then everybody was glaring at Vlad and his obvious lies. No wonder Dani didn't like 'Danielle'.
"Really?" Dani asked.
"Uh-huh, but here's what I need you to do," Vlad said. The scene changed to show Dani coming up through the floor, shooting a beam or whatever it was because they had no idea, at Danny who flew off to the side, obviously already weak from his earlier experience.
"You're not going anywhere," Dani said shooting another beam at him causing him to put a shield up. "Stop fighting, I know you're too weak to beat me."
"I'm not going to fight you," Danny said as she created another beam in her hands. The others couldn't wonder well why the hell not? "Every time I fight a clone they turn to goop." Dani screamed as she looked down and saw her feet were starting to melt. Everybody gasped. She let go of the...beam or ball of energy, whatever it was, nobody cared, and the 'goop' went away.
"But you're not mindless, like those other clones. I don't want to hurt you," Everybody nodded in approval and both Sam and Valerie sent a grin at Danny.
"Then let my father have your morph DNA, so he can save me."
"He's not going to save you. He's using you! You're nothing but a mess he's not going to clean up!"
"You're a liar," Dani said, getting angry and knocking him out. "And I'm going to prove it." The memory changed again to one with Danny back in the machine and this time Dani operating it. "All secure dad."
"I still don't know how I'm going to get him to morph. Unless," Vlad said and a slight frown appeared on Dani's face. "Unless you could overshadow him for me dear, force the transformation?" Many shook their heads as a few snorted. The girl wasn't stupid, as Danny had said; this one had her own mind.
"But the last clone that tried that melted what if it's too much?" Dani asked worried.
"Oh, it won't be."
"But what if-" Dani began before Vlad interrupted her.
"YOU EXST TO SERVE ME, JUST DO IT!" Vlad yelled, and everybody shook their heads, even Vlad winced.
Tears came to Dani's eyes before she blinked them away and yelled "YOU ARE NOT THE BOSS OF ME!" Letting Danny free as Vlad screamed 'no'.
"You're helping me now?" Danny asked, looking over at her. Everybody smiled as they waited for what they knew she was going to say.
"Do you want to ask questions, or do you want to kick some butt?" Dani asked before they high fived (everybody couldn't help but smile at how they went so quickly from enemies to friends) and changed into their ghost forms. They fought him (destroying the 'perfect clone' and Danny pulling off this amazing wail) and just when it looked like they were going to lose, Sam and Tucker barge in (in a very cool vehicle) knocking out Vlad and putting a belt on him that changes him back to human. Then Dani gives him a very nice punch saying "So, dad, stay away from my cousin," (There was a lot of cheering to this) and Danny thanks Tucker and Sam immensely which Dani leaves in and the scene faded.
"I didn't know you could overshadow people from a distance, thanks," Sam said in the new scene, showing her, Danny and Tucker in Danny's room, while Dani floated (invisible, everybody mentally reminded them self as they saw the blue haze) outside the window.
"I...I can't, I...I didn't," Danny said, obviously confused.
"And the best part is, I didn't have to waste any energy on your dad," Dani said as she became visible and the three turned to look at her. "It's Dani, with an 'I', and don't worry, you'll see me again." And she took off into the sky, the scene fading.
Everybody just stared open mouthed at the screen as memories flickered, no single one staying in place. It showed Dani flying in all sorts of places, and everybody got to see the country, the real country, because they had finally started to believe it.
Suddenly the scene changed to Dani hiding in a pile of boxes. She was sweating and looked slightly sick. Everybody couldn't help but feel worried. "Finally, I'm back!" Dani said before she caught sight of her reflection in a window. "Uh-oh, that's one scary ghost. I've got to get to Danny fast." Dani took off but looked exhausted and was making no headway. "Or slow, slows good. Or slower, even slower's better." She said before landing again. She let out a shriek as she saw her feet begin to melt. "I just hope Danny can help me," she said as she got her feet solid again, before adding, "I just can't let him find me! OK, pull yourself together Danielle, Vlad is all the way in Colorado, there's no way he can know you're here."
Everybody frowned knowing that was basically saying that he knew she was there while Dash muttered, "Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity." Paulina and Star (the star acrobat's for the circus) hit him.
The scene changed to show Dani hiding in an alley. She changed into her human form and walked up beside a bin holding apples, its seller putting more in. "If I want to reach Dani, I've got to keep up my strength," Dani said, pulling out her pockets. "I hate to do this, but," Dani said, putting her hands through the box. The vendor asked to see her hands and she showed that she had none and he ran away screaming. A few people chuckled. She grabbed two apples and walked away quickly down the alley, where she took a bite.
Suddenly alarms went off and everybody gasped as Dani spat out her apple and turned around to see somebody in the air on a board who said "Don't worry kid, I'm not going to let some little ghost freak get ya, hold on." Everybody gasped as they recognized Valerie's voice, and her eyes widened as she realized she was a ghost hunter. She watched sadly as Dani ran off and hid in a rundown house. Valerie entered after her and said, "Listen kid, I know you're in here, and I know something evil is hunting you."
"Ya, no kidding," Dani whispered as she hid behind a table cloth.
"But I can protect you if you'll just trust me and come out." Suddenly Valerie stepped on the wrong thing and the whole house started coming down. Dani ran out and grabbed Valerie, turning ghost and them both intangible and flying them out. "Huh," Valerie said her eyes wide as she looked at Dani. "You're a girl...and a ghost?" Apparently it wasn't common knowledge about Danny, everybody thought.
"And you're welcome," Dani said causing a few laughs.
"The ghost girl," Valerie said standing up and Valerie grimaced guessing her next move wasn't going to be a well liked one.
"Yeah, but you can just call me Dani," Dani said, holding out her hand and a few grimaced.
"Oh I will," Valerie said, pulling something out and trapping Dani's hands. "Dani Phantom."
The scene changed to show Dani and Valerie in a rundown basement, Dani struggling to get free from her bonds. "Let me go!" She said.
"Not on your afterlife, ghost girl," Valerie said causing a few people to glare at her. She moved down lower in her seat.
Dani watched as her hands began to melt and said, "That's what I'm afraid of. What are you going to do with me?"
"Me? I'm not doing anything with you. I've got you all bundled up for delivery to Vlad Masters," Valerie said flicking open a cell phone and causing many people to hiss. Both people sat even lower in their seats (though how Vlad could get any lower then he already was...).
"You're working for Vlad? He'll destroy me!"
"Ha, that's a good one. He told me the only reason you came out of the ghost zone was to destroy him." Everybody hissed at Valerie's words and all glares left her and went back to Vlad, and Valerie was seriously pissed.
"What? No, he's lying!"
"Vlad Masters is a good man; he has never lied to me."
"Are you crazy, look at me, do I look like I can destroy anything?" Dani asked and the watching Valerie had to agree – this version of her was either really stupid or Vlad had just been manipulating her for far too long. "Vlad is evil, and even though I knew he was hunting me, I chanced coming here because I'm dissolving into nothing. Only one person can help me. Danny Phantom." Valerie turned around and nobody liked that look on her face.
"You know the ghost boy?"
"Yes, do you?"
"Of course, everybody in Amity Park knows of the amazing ghost hero Danny Phantom," Valerie said and a few people were intrigued by the name of the town. "But I've never had the honour of meeting him."
"That's laying it on a little too thickly," Paulina said with a shake of her head and even Valerie grimaced though she said –
"She is only twelve and the clone of a boy," a few girls chuckled at that while others (especially Danny) frowned.
"I'll introduce you, just set me free so I can see him," Dani said holding out her hands. Everybody could have sworn Valerie said something else and her expression shifted but the memory changed before they could confirm.
The scene was Dani flying in the streets and suddenly Tucker and Sam passed her on scooters. Dani flew away and ran smack dab into Danny in the air. Both fell onto the rooftop of a building. "Danny!" Dani said excited.
"Danny that was your cousin, right?" Sam's voice came out of an earpiece that had been in Danny's ear.
"I've got this one guy's," Danny said as he picked it up. "Danielle, are you OK," Danny asked as he helped her up, only to have his hand covered in goop when he let go. "You look awful," A few girls shook their head at this – you never say that to a girl! "What happened to you? Last time I saw you, you flew off kind of dramatically." Many couldn't help but agree with that statement.
"You know how hard it is to fly of dramatically?" Many people laughed at that – that was what she brought up. "That plus our last battle with Vlad left me pretty wiped out. As much as I've tried to save my strength since then, I keep getting weaker. I needed your help to see if you could make me stay whole. But as soon as I got into town, Vlad came after me."
"He's not going to touch you Dani. Come on, I'll protect you," Danny said and a few people couldn't help but smile at Danny's brotherly acts, though Jazz's was a cross between a frown. The two took off when something grabbed a hold of Danny's ankle. Valerie groaned as she lowered herself in her seat once more.
"I knew you'd take the bait, Phantom."
"Bait? Was this a trap?" Danny asked as his head turned to Dani.
"No, no, I would never do that," Dani said while a few people in the crowd muttered 'again'. "She saw me go ghost and she was going to turn me over to Vlad until I told her I knew you."
"It's true Danny. The little ecto-brat (a few snickered at that nickname) had no idea I was using her to get to you," Valerie said and a few people had to hold in their laughs because that could be used in a whole other sense.
"You what?"
"And she actually thought that I wanted the honour of meeting Danny Phantom, when I really just wanted the honour of destroying you." An electric current went up the line and knocked Danny out, making him fall to the ground. Many gasped.
"You-you tricked me," Dani said before Valerie blasted her out, Dani landing beside Danny.
Valerie laughed as she said; "Now that's two Danny Phantom's for the price of one." Everybody sat forward in their seats as the scene changed again.
Dani was once more lying on a metal table in a lab, except this time she was strapped down and was struggling to get out. "What is it with you and examination tables?" Dani said before her legs started to melt. "Wow."
"Now, now my dear, if you continue to struggle, there will be nothing left of you to dissect," Vlad said and many people hissed.
"Don't touch me," Dani said as Vlad went to put a hand on her and her head started to melt. He pulled his hand away and snapped his fingers and a machine started to examine her half melted body.
"Structural density?" Vlad questioned.
"53% dumpling," Said a hologram head of Maddie. Many people made faces. Dani relaxed and the hologram said, "85% sweetums. Oh, love the cologne you're wearing."
"Ectoplasmic energy readings?"
"Unstable cupcake."
"Clearly she is only mildly more sound then the other clones. The question is why did she last longer than the rest?" Vlad pondered as he leaned on the table.
"Please tell me you've been working on something to stabilize me?" Dani questioned hopefully.
"Oh no, my child, I've had far more important matters to attend to. My Maddie upgrade for instance, right dear?"
"Whatever you say, Vlad my brilliant and ingenious lamb chop – I love what you've done with your fangs," The Maddie hologram said. Many people growled while Maddie simply looked repulsed.
"Well, it seems the only way I'll be able to make a perfect clone is to melt you down and study your ectoplasmic remains." Vlad said and by the time the memory was changing Vlad was hiding under his chair.
Dani was attached to a board and Vlad was standing before her when a hologram Maddie said, "Intruder alert, dearest heart." A screen before her showed Danny and Valerie flying through the streets. Valerie couldn't help but smile – at least she was helping now.
"Danny!" Dani cried.
"Phantom, blah, what a nuisance...and Valerie! Well this is inconvenient at best, can't go letting her discover the truth now, can we?" Vlad said before he split himself into two (many people gaped at this) and one turned human and went off into a closet while the ghost one said, "Time to assume my role in our little production. Our go welcome our little guests – and I'm sorry dear, I can't have them seeing you either," He added as he turned the Maddie program off.
"See you tonight for tea and cookies," The Maddie-gram said as she disappeared.
"Until then, there's work to be done," Vlad said.
"DANNY!" Dani yelled as she struggled harder. "HEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP!" Sounds of fighting could be heard as Dani continued to struggle when the ghost Vlad suddenly appeared again.
"Breaking up is hard to do, unless you have a button that does this," Vlad said as he pulled a handle down.
"No!" Valerie said as she broke into the basement and Dani shrieked in pain, her form beginning to melt.
"DANNY!" Dani screamed again before shrieking again "Danny!"Danny suddenly appeared in the basement.
"Valerie, why are you standing around?" Danny asked.
"Help, that horrible ghost trapped me and is going to destroy the girl!" Vlad's voice came from the closet (many people snarled at this).
"Vlad?" Valerie asked.
"Hello, Vlad's right in front of you," Danny said pointing at the ghost Vlad.
"Not him, Vlad Masters, this is his mansion," Valerie said before flying over and letting out the ghost Vlad.
"Ah, as the sweet caring, good natured man that I am, I beg of you, don't let him do it," Vlad said as Valerie held him up. The watching Valerie hissed.
"Ha, told you he was a good dude," Valerie said looking over at Danny.
"HELP!" Dani screamed and the others couldn't help but wonder why they weren't doing anything.
Danny flew over to her as Valerie said, "What are you doing to her? Stop it, now!" Shooting the ghost Vlad. Danny tried to get her out but it didn't work.
"It's going to take more than your little plasma ray to cut those ties Daniel," The ghost Vlad said as he stood up. Valerie shot him through the wall as Dani screamed again, her legs nothing but goop.
"I can't break them Daniel, there's only one thing left to try," Danny said taking something out. "Feeling brave?"
"A little weak in the knee's actually," Danny said shaking, "And I don't even have knees anymore!" By now everybody was on the edge of their seats, fists clenched, eyes wide, waiting to see what happened (even though Dani was alive and well in front of them.
"Then let's hope my dad didn't mend this Achilles' heel," Danny said as he held it up and pressed it into her.
"I think it's too late, bye Danny, thanks for," Dani said before her voice faded off.
"Oh no," Danny said before Danny melted into a pile of green goop. "Nooooo!" This was echoed by many in the crowd, all forgetting they were watching the memories of said girl.
"No, Dani, I failed you, I'm so sorry," Danny said as tears filled the room. But the goop started to bubble and then Dani's head popped up from it. Everybody gasped.
"Danny? What's the trouble?" Dani asked and everybody laughed at that.
"Huh, hey," Danny said as he looked around at her and Dani flew up into the air, reforming fully as she went.
"I'm me again! I knew you wouldn't let me down," Dani said as they hugged and 'awws' echoed around.
Suddenly Valerie passed them and said, "A little help here?" The Vlad ghost chasing her.
"With pleasure," Dani said and started to beat Vlad up. "I never got to thank you for the homecoming!"
"Ha, you missed me!" And then Dani punched him out.
"I guess that will teach him to pick on a defenceless girl," Dani said as she stood up straight.
"There's no such thing," Valerie said and a few girls yelled in agreement.
"Get Dani out of here Valerie, I'll be right behind you," Danny said and the two flew out, the memory fading away, causing a lot of people to let out a breath.
The scene changed to (an invisible) Dani floating in front of Valerie and Danny coming out and saying, "Dani, that was awesome! Dani? Valerie, where's Dani?" Dani appeared and said 'boo' startling Danny and the two girls started to laugh. "Ha ha ha, very funny," Danny said as he put his hands on his hips.
"Thank you both, Vlad would have baked me into a puddle of nothing if you hadn't saved me," Dani said with a smile.
"That's what family's for cuz," Danny said with a laugh. "So, ah, now what – heading off?"
"Yep," Danny replied. "Now that this phantom is fixed, she's got places to go."
"Well, just remember, be safe, OK?"
"Ah Danny, nothing can hurt me now," Dani said before kissing him on the cheek. "See ya, and thanks Valerie." With that she flew off into the night. The memory faded and the projector flickered before going out.
Dani slowly took off the circlet before glancing at all the others. They sat silently as they took what they saw in.
Like I said, way longer then I expected it to be, I tried to shorten down some memories, but I just really couldn't do it. Sorry if I messed up some of the wording, I tried to get it correct - oh, by the way, most of the memories are from 'Kindred Spirit' and 'D-Stabilized', if you didn't already guess, I made the one where she first awakens up. Oh, and if you think I left 'important stuff' from the episodes out, they were from her memory so I couldn't really add stuff she wasn't apart off - could I?
Happy March Break (for those lovely Canadians who are on it - I don't know, does America have March Break? I don't think so...if not, to others, happy Monday!)
