Me: Chapter 11!

Danny: Yay!

Me: I'm running out of opening lines…

Danny: Sorry the last chapter was so boring! Meh, we will make it up to you :)

Me: Where have all my reviewers gone?

Danny: Ask the readers, it's their job to make sure that they review.

Me: *turns to reader* Why didn't you review? That's what keeps me going!

Danny: Replies for the lovely people who did review. We like you!

Ghostfinder: Sorry you thought it wasn't as good :( hopefully you'll like this more!

Inuyuke: Yeah, it was slow. DANNY WILL NEVER TRUST VLAD! THE FROOT LOOP DOESN'T DESERVE IT! Oh, and sorry I said No Worries was going to be posted first, I had this finished and I didn't know XD

Lolxxx: The world's turned upside down! *puts on OMG face*

Jasmine: Keep trying, maybe you're not typing in the security thing properly. Thanks for your review!

The monkey girl: OMG Vlad did do a kindness! He's crazy, that's why XD

Me: I'll try my best not to bore you to death with this chappie. I'm also bringing in some OC's (which, trust me, I really didn't want to do) but they aren't halfas, and they are NOT Mary-sues or Gary-Stu's. here goes:

Exile, Chapter 11

(Jazz's P.O.V)

"Ugh, how can I be so stupid?" I said, mostly to myself as I heard the guards shut the cell door behind me. Wulf and Valerie had been taken somewhere else, obviously to keep us apart and stop us from escaping again. What's more, Wulf's cuts had opened up. Now they'd start bleeding all over again, without me, Sam or Tucker to help.

"Don't worry Jazz, we don't blame you." Sam put a comforting hand on my shoulder. My friendship with her had grown ever since we had been arrested and it was like we always knew each other. I could see clearly why Danny liked her.

"You sure?"

Sam nodded.

"Now we just have to figure out another way to get out of here." Tucker sat down on the bed, deep in thought.

(Danny's P.O.V)

"Kid, hey kid!" Somebody shook me awake.

I groaned and looked up to see the train driver staring down at me with a slightly angry look on his face.

"This your stop?" He pointed through the window at the station. "It's the end of the line."

I glanced around and saw that everybody was gone. "Uh, yeah," I told him, rubbing the sleep from my eyes and yawning.

The driver scowled and said, "Well next time, don't fall asleep. We drivers have enough to do around here without going around waking everyone up. You're the fifth person on this train that's nodded off."

He grunted and left before I could reply.

I got out of the train and stood on the platform for a moment. The station was fairly big, like they usually were at the end of the line. It was the rush hour, so people were bustling all around me, trying to get a seat on the trains and get home as quickly as possible.

My next problem was easily resolved. I phased through the ticket barrier in the corner, checking to make sure that nobody was watching me.

Now I had to figure out a way to get my hands on some cash. I scanned around the platform until my eyes rested on an ATM machine next to the ticker office. I plodded over to it, still tired from being woken up so suddenly.

The queue for it wasn't very long and I was soon at the front, phasing my hand into the ATM as inconspicuously as possible. If felt my fingers brush against some money and I quickly pocketed it before anyone noticed.

I turned round in a hurry to get away from the machine and crashed into someone smaller than me. She tripped over and landed awkwardly, cursing under her breath.

"Hey, watching where you're going, you-" she looked up at me, her ice-blue eyes staring up at mine. "Danny?" she asked in disbelief.

It took me a few minutes to recognise the girl reaching out for my hand, waiting to be helped up.

"Dani!" I exclaimed, pulling my clone in for a hug, "So this is where you've ended up, huh?"

"Yep," she nodded and smiled at me. "Why are you here, cuz?"

"I told my parents about me being Danny Phantom and they… they tried to kill me."

Dani's eyes widened, "No!" She exclaimed. She took my hand again and led me out of the station and into a busy street. "Come back to my place, you'll obviously need somewhere to sleep."

(Normal P.O.V)

Jack looked around the lab, confusion spread over his face, "where did Phantom go?"

Vlad glanced up from the computer, "he probably left," he said, no emotion at all in his voice.

"Well I can see that!" Maddie said angrily to him, "and you were the one to let him escape! What were you thinking?"

Vlad stood up and smiled maliciously, "Maddie, Maddie, Maddie. My dear, why would I ever let him escape without a good reason? Isn't it obvious that I'm not as stupid as Jack?" he pointed to the computer, not noticing that Maddie's anger had increased at Vlad's offensive comment about her husband.

"I put a tracking device on Phantom as I was untying him. There's someone I want him to get for me, and I don't know where she is."

"How do you know that he'll find who you want?" Maddie still slightly doubted his plan.

"I can assure you that he will. After all, I can't really think of who else he'd go to."

(Danny's P.O.V)

The boy, who looked about six or seven, narrowed his brown eyes at me, half curious, half suspicious. "So you're this cousin Dani's been talking about?"

"Stop being so paranoid!" The girl jumped in front of him and held out her hand, "I'm Stephanie and I'm twelve," she told me. I shook her hand and she pointed to the boy, "that's my brother, Toby. He gets a little bit wary of visitors."

"Um… OK," I was trying to take everything in. I turned to Dani, who was standing next to me. "What is this place again?"

"I live here," she explained, "I found this abandoned apartment with Stephanie and Toby trying to set up a home, plus James, who's out somewhere right now. I have no idea if they've run away or whatever, but they're awesome!" Dani said excitedly, her young face beaming with innocence.

"Right…do they know about your um…condition?" I asked her. I didn't know how good my clone was at keeping secrets.

"What condition?" Stephanie interrupted us.

"Uh…" I paused, trying to make up something, "Dani has…dyslexia. It's nothing serious." I lied.

"Just a mild case," Dani added.

"I guess that's OK. I don't care." Stephanie sat down on a torn-up blue sofa before she carried on speaking, "I just wonder how she gets her hands on so much food and money."

I frowned at Dani. She shrugged and rubbed the back of her neck like I did sometimes – just another sign that she was my clone created by Vlad.

"She has her ways," I said.

Suddenly I heard a knock, most likely coming from the door. Toby rushed over to it and looked through the spyhole. "Password?" He asked the person on the other side.

"He treats this like a club," Stephanie explained.

A few seconds later a boy about my age walked into the room and glared at me.

"That's James," Dani whispered to me, "He can be a little… odd at times."

"What do you mean?"

"He's not the most sociable person in the world, let's just say that."

"Who are you?" James challenged me. He was a few inches taller than me with longish, sandy-coloured hair.

I folded my arms. "I happen to be Dani's cousin, Danny."

"Oh really?" he raised an eyebrow sarcastically, "I hadn't noticed." James had obviously seen the uncanny similarities between me and Dani. No surprise really.

"He's here 'cause he needs a place to stay," Dani told the boy calmly.

"Doesn't he have a home?" James clearly didn't want me here.

"I don't need to explain myself to you," I retorted.

"There's a bed over there," Stephanie butted in and pointed to a threadbare mattress. "It used to belong to Kathie, but she kind of…"

"Died," Toby said sadly.

Everybody nodded in forlorn agreement and I even saw a flicker of gloom appear on James face.

"Anyway, you'll need to pitch in with getting food and stuff." Stephanie carried on.

Suddenly toby said, "Danny, what's that thing on your hand?"

I didn't have time to look down before a massive jolt of electricity shot up my arm, causing me to collapse and land face first on the hard wooden ground.

Danny: *gasps* Sudden cliff-ee!

Me: Ha ha. 101 ways to say cliffy. Cliffeh, cliffy, cliff-ee, cliffie, cliffey, can you readers think of anymore? Lol :)

Danny: Reviews guys?

Me: It's also your last chance to post an entry for the mocktail competition! We'll be announcing the results in chapter 12!

Danny: Bye guys! Hope you found this chappie slightly less boring than the last!
