Chapter 11: Enter Danielle

It's another school day at Casper High. Which means being interrupted by a ghost attack. "Attention, whelps." Skulker says. "Just give me the Ghost Girl and nobody will get hurt… much." He then notices Danny Fenton and points a gun at him. "If she doesn't show up, I'll take him instead."

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!" they hear someone yell as Skulker is hit by a green beam. Danielle 'Dani with an I' Phantom shows up and fights Skulker until he's weakened enough to be sucked into Danny's Fenton Thermos.

"I can't believe it!" Dash exclaims.

"Me neither." Kwan adds. "Fenton is dating Phantom's sister."

"Uh, actually Danny Phantom is my first cousin once removed but we're almost like brother and sister anyway." Danielle explains. "I'm Dani Phantom, with an I."

Meanwhile, Paulina is giving Danny a glare that practically yells 'you'd better remember to put good word for me with Danny Phantom's family'.

"Good to see you again, Dani." Danny says.

"Thanks, c… Danny." She replies. "But now I have to leave."

"Not so fast." Maddie says as she and Jack arrive. "We need to talk."

"May I go to your home later?" Dani asks.

"Okay, Dani."

"You so lost your chances with Fenton." Paulina tells Sam with a smirk.

"What do you mean, Wicked Witch?" Sam asks.

"Danny isn't the only clueless of our group." Tucker replies and Sam glares at him for this.

After class, at the Fenton household, the Fentons are waiting for Danielle to appear. "Mom, Dad, you won't hurt her, will you?"

"The more we'd like to destroy a ghost, we're not sure about what to do with a cloned human, even one with ghostly features." Maddie Fenton explains.

"I'm glad to hear it, Mrs. Fenton." Danielle replies as she appears.

"So, this is Danielle?" Jazz asks.

"Dani with an I." Danielle explains. "Nice to meet you."

"I'm Jasmine. Jazz for short. Nice to meet you too."

"I'm Jack and this is my wife Maddie." Jack says. "And I believe you already know our son Danny."

"It's a long story." Danielle says.

"We have the whole day." Maddie replies.

"Vlad Plasmius wanted a sample of Danny to create what he believes to be a 'perfect clone' to be his successor." Danielle explains. "By 'perfect clone', he means a ghost boy whose human form looks like Danny Fenton and whose ghost form looks like Danny Phantom."

"One cat won't be enough for him." Jack comments and his family agrees. "But where did you enter on this?"

"Vlad tricked me into thinking he wanted Danny to help stabilize me." Danielle sadly explains. "When I found out he didn't care at all about me, I helped both Dannys to escape."

"You poor thing." Maddie says. "Do you have a place to live?"

"No." She sadly says.

"Look, Dani, Maddie and I were talking, would you like to live with us?" Jack asks.

"R-Really?" Danielle asks.

"Sure, Dani." Maddie answers.

"Thank you," Danielle says while running to hug Jack and Maddie.

One day later, Tucker and Sam show up at Fentonworks to visit Danny and meet Dani.

"I'm glad you got a new home." Sam tells her.

"Aren't the Fentons worried Danny Phantom might object?" Tucker asks.

"No need to worry." Danny replies and then he hears the doorbell. Knowing one of his parents will answer it, he ignores until his father calls. "Danny, some Paulina girl wants to see you!"

"Let her in, Dad!"

As Paulina enters Danny's bedroom and Jack leaves, she ignores Danny and starts talking to Dani. "You must be Danny Phantom's little sister. My name is Paulina Sanchez. Yours?"

"I'm his cousin and my name is Dani Phantom with an I." Danielle explains. "And yes, I've heard about you. About how you sucked up to this Danny when he was the judge of a pageant contest."

"I told him it was just for the contest." Paulina sadly says. "Let's make a deal! You put a good word about me to your cousin and I help you to get a better boyfriend. Besides, everybody, except him and the Goth knows they're destined for each other."

"What?" Both Danny and Sam ask.

"Clueless couple." Tucker whispers. Luckily nobody heard him.

"Danny!" Jack yells. "There's a Dash Baxter also to see you!"

Wondering what the bully wants, Danny allows him in. dash is surprised to see Paulina there. "What's Paulina doing here, Fenton? Aren't you dating Phantom's cousin?"

"Paulina wants Dani to put a good word about her with Phantom." Danny explains.

"Okay. And since when are you talking about yourself in third person?" A confused Dash asks.

"What? Ah, Phantom's cousin is named Danielle but she prefers to be called Dani with an I." Danny explains. "But what brings you here, Dash?"

"The more it pains me to say it, now you're dating a relative of Phantom, you're once again allowed to join the A-list." Dash sadly explains. "You'd better still have the card we gave you when you were dating Paulina."

"What?" Paulina asks, shocked at this.

"A ghost named Kitty wanted to drive her boyfriend jealous so she overshadowed Paulina to date me." Danny explains.

"Did you know it all the time?" Paulina asks, glaring at Danny.

"No."

"Anyway, Fenton, I'm still waiting for a reply." Dash says. "Will you ditch these loser friends of yours like last time?"

"Forget it, Dash." Danny replies. "I'd rather keep my friends than be popular."

"You said it, c… Danny!" Dani exclaims.

"Good." Dash comments. "I'd hate lose Kwan again."

Tucker and Sam are now wondering what to say about the idea of Kwan hanging out with them again. In the end, they decided not to say a word.

"Fenton, I need to know." Paulina desperately pleads. "How much harm did this Kitty cause me?"

Understanding an overshadowed person's need to know what the overshadower did while in their body, Danny starts answering. "She took me out to some places where her boyfriend attacked me and Phantom saved us."

"P-p-p-phantom?" She is now shocked. "Did he become upset by seeing us together?"

"Don't worry, Paulina." Danny says. "He knows about Kitty."

"Anyway, goodbye, Fenton."

"I'm leaving too." Dash replies. "And, Fenton, despite the fact you refused to join the A-list, you're popular enough to be left alone." He then looks at Tucker. "Foley, you replace Fenton as locker stuffing."

Please review. Sorry for the delay. I took on the advice of reviewers who asked for longer chapters.
