AUTHOR'S NOTES:

Hey guys! So this one shot is based on a picture I saw on Deviantart by UmbriHearts titled DP: Stomach 'purring', Danielle? It's also based on one of my favourite episodes from Fullmetal Alchemist called Flame VS Fullmetal. This takes place during Season 1 before Andrew had arrived in town and it takes place the weekend after Two of a Kind. Enjoy!

FELINE TROUBLE

It had been two days since Danny and Dayla had fought Skulker; the Ghost Zone's Greatest Hunter who had tried to hunt them down to add to his collection but then decided he from now on, wants to kill them and hang their pelts on his wall.

With the help of Sam and Tucker as well Sampson (who's now Delilah) the Purple Back Gorilla, they managed to take down Skulker, destroy his battle suit and sent him back to the Ghost Zone and by the end of the school day, Danny had earned himself a B+ for Biology. School had now finished for the weekend and Danny and Dayla were heading home to Fenton Works.

As they got closer to their street, it began to rain and then it began to pour down heavily. The rain however did not bring down Danny's mood as he was happy to have earned a B+.

"I can't ever thank you, or Sam or Tucker enough for helping me boost my grade sis" Danny said.

"It's no problem Danny. That's what siblings and friends are for" Dayla said smiling back at her brother.

They managed to make it back to their house without getting soaking wet, but they still phased all the water off themselves. Just as Dayla was about to follow her brother inside, she noticed something near their fence.

"You go on in ahead Danny. I'll be inside in a minute" Dayla said and then walked down the stairs.

Danny shrugged and headed inside. He showed Jack and Maddie his report and they were both happy to see he had gotten a B+.

"Oh this is really good Danny. We're so proud of you Danny for working so hard to boost your grade" Maddie said as she gave Danny a quick hug.

"Honestly, I couldn't have done it without my friends or Dayla" Danny said as Dayla came back inside, looking a little nervous as she held her school bag in her arms.

"Is it raining outside? Funny, I didn't hear anything" Jack said in confusion.

"That's because you've been in the lab all day dear" Maddie said.

Jazz put Genius Magazine down and said after sighing, "Well…at least mum is still on the cover"

Suddenly a small noise came from Dayla's bag, "Meow"

Dayla's eyes widened and she smiled nervously, Danny's eyes widened and then he frowned as he realised what Dayla was trying to hide in her bag.

"What was that?" Jazz asked.

Danny looked at Dayla and then dragged her out of the kitchen, heading towards the stairs as he head, "Excuse me, Dayla and I need to talk"

Jazz, Jack and Maddie all just stood their confused on what was going on. Maddie then realised what was going on and just smiled amusingly as she remembered a time when she was a kid.

After Danny took Dayla upstairs to his room, he looked inside and saw that Dayla had placed a kitten inside. Dayla explained that she had found the kitten near their fence and felt sorry for the little guy and wanted to talk to their parents about possibly keeping it.

"Dayla be rational. We don't have the means to care for it. With us ghost hunting all the time, we won't even be able to look after it" Danny said as he patted the kitten on the head for a second. "You can't just pick go picking up every stray animal you see"

"He's not any stray. He called to me. The poor little thing is wet and hungry" Dayla said. "Can't we talk to mum and dad about keeping it? Please?"

"No Dayla! Now please, go put it back to where you found it" Danny said.

Dayla looked down in sadness and left the room with the kitten. Danny sighed, he knew he was being tough on his sister, but she had to understand that there was no way they could keep the kitten.

"Dinner's ready!" Maddie called out as she placed the bowl of mashed potatoes on the table.

Everyone came to the dinner table, Maddie noticed Dayla was looking suspicious as she sat down in her seat and slowly ate her dinner. She also noticed she was wearing her green hooded jumper when it was pretty warm inside. Just as they were halfway through dinner, the sound of purring could be heard.

Danny then looked at Dayla's jumper and heard the purring noise again. She smiled nervously as Danny frowned at her and asked, "Is your stomach purring?"

Dayla giggled nervously and answered, "Yes...I mean no….I mean…uh….did you know it's still raining outside?"

"Dayla, what is going on?" Maddie asked smiling warmly.

Dayla sighed and pulled out the small kitten from her jumper and explained, "I found the poor little guy outside in the rain. It was wet, cold and hungry and I thought…well….I was hoping we could keep it"

Maddie smiled sadly and said, "I'm sorry honey, but we can't have a pet. Think about what would happen if it got into some ectoplasm or any of the other lab equipment? The poor thing could get hurt or killed"

Dayla thought about what her mother said and knew she was right. She looked down sadly and then Maddie said, "I had the same problem when I was your age too honey. I found a puppy outside in the rain and wanted to keep it, but unfortunately my parents were allergic to dogs and so I had to give the puppy up"

"So what do we do then?" Dayla asked. "I can't just put it back outside in the rain"

Maddie thought and then smiled as she got an idea.

An hour later, Dayla and Maddie walked down their street four houses down and knocked on the front door. A woman named Violet Honey opened the door and smiled at them and said, "Come on in, Maddie and Dayla"

They followed Violet to the living room where her 10 year old daughter was, sitting in front of the fire place in her wheel chair. Her daughter Anne was born unable to use her legs and so, she had to forever use a wheelchair.

"Anne, this is Maddie and Dayla Fenton. Some of our neighbours from down the street and they have a surprise for you" Violet said to her daughter.

Anne turned her chair around and smiled as she saw the kitten in Dayla's hand and asked, "Is that kitten for me?"

Dayla then realised what was going on. She smiled at her mother and then walked up to Anne and handed her the kitten and said, "Yes. We found this kitten and thought that maybe, you'd like to keep it as a pet"

Anne smiled as she held the kitten in her arms and patted it on the head, it purred in happiness and snuggled in her arms. Anne giggled and said to Dayla, "Thank you. Thank you so much"

Violet smiled warmly and said to both Maddie and Dayla, "Thank you so much for this. It really warms my heart to see her happy. It hasn't been easy for her, to go to school and get through life knowing she will probably never walk in her life, but she's always been strong. Just like my husband and her brother"

She hugged both Maddie and Dayla and said, "Thank you both so much for this"

As Maddie and Dayla walked home, Maddie placed her arm around her daughter and said, "I'm so proud of you honey"

"Thanks mum" Dayla said with a smile. "I am too"
