Sorry for not updating sooner. I'm trying to work on six stories and keep up with two cram-course classes at the same time, as well as trying to work. So not easy, but I'm doing my best at the moment.

29! My all time favorite number! I can't believe that with all the stuff I mentioned above, I hit 29 chapters. I hope that I don't get writer's block with everything going on all at once.

Anyways, on with the story.


Jazz's POV

Danny and Dani both fell asleep while we were hiding in Sammy's room. Danny had been asleep for about 15 minutes when he fell off the bed, knocking over the chair that Dani was sleeping on, causing her to hit the floor. All of which resulted in a loud crash. We heard someone yell "GHOST". So much for laying low.

Just before Danny and Dani could get up off the floor, the bedroom door burst open, causing us to jump. I couldn't believe that Sammy's room could fit fourteen people at once, including Dad. Well, Future Dad, anyways. We all probably looked pretty frightened to everyone, even our future selves.

Future Dad: Sammy, Alex, why are there two Jazzes, two Danis, two Dannys, two Tuckers, and two Sams here at the same time?

Sammy: Umm, they followed us home?

Future Mom: You kids must have come from the past to help? You were much safer in your own time.

"Well, not much safer. Vlad did something to Danni that really hurt her and we were worried about her, so we followed everyone back here to help."

Future Sam: Well I guess that since everyone in the family knows that you guys are here, lets go downstairs and get some cookies for everyone.

Just after we sat down to eat our cookies, we heard screaming coming from the basement where Danni was. Future Danny rushed downstairs to see why there was screaming.

Future Danny's POV

I rushed downstairs when I heard Danni's screams. Just as soon as I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw Danni hiding under the desk, something she hadn't done since she was six. I was worried about this as she was shivering.

"Danni, everything's going to be alright."

Danni: Daddy?

Poor Danni looked so scared and confused; I was concerned as to what happened to her in the past.

"That's right princess. You can come out now. It's safe."

Danni crawled out from under the desk and I picked her up to take her to the couch in the living room. Mom and Dad went in there with some of Danni's favorite cookies, triple chocolate chip, and some cinnamon-apple tea. Mom even took Danni a blanket. They wanted to make sure that their only granddaughter was going to be alright after what she had been through. I was a bit concerned as the last time Danni used her Ghostly Flare she was unconscious for two days, and yet this time she was asleep for barely 24 hours. I was worried about possible side effects, but I guess that since her first Flare was more powerful than this last one it may have used a lot more of her energy back then. I went to the kitchen.

My Sam: So what are we going to do about dinner? Especially since we now have fifteen people to feed, not to mention that some of us don't eat meat.

Sammy: What about takeout?

My Sam: Absolutely not, Sammy. What about your sister? Isn't it her turn to pick since I can't cook for this many at the moment?

Sammy: Let me ask her…*five seconds later*…She wants pizza from that new mixed menu place.

That was Danni's favorite place for a quick meal. Fifty-Fifty was perfect for our dual-diet family, as it had everything that Sam likes and everything that I like. The kids loved to eat there now and then as well. Danni always picks that place when asked where she wants to eat.

My Sam: Sounds like a plan. Why don't you and Alex take everyone else and get what you like off the menus and since you know what we usually get, go ahead and order for us. Here's the money for the food.

With that, Sammy and Alex took our younger selves to Fifty-Fifty to get dinner. I went back to the living room with Sam to check up on Danni. She looked like she was feeling better, but I wanted to make sure that whatever past Vlad did didn't do anything serious.

"What do you remember, Princess?"

Danni: Being strapped to a table after Freakshow caught me and Sam, and then pain. Everything else is a blur. OH NO! CORI! Is she ok, Daddy? I think I shot at her.

"She's ok, just a little shaken. Sammy took her with them when he and the others went to get dinner."

Danni: Why was Cori in the past anyways?

My Sam: Your brother thought that she would help you fight Vlad's control. Your father and I couldn't think of any other alternative.

Danni: Then how did I get home without realizing it?

"You had another Ghostly Flare and fainted after you freed yourself from Vlad's grip."

Danni: Oh. How long was I out this time?

My Sam: Less than a day. How's your head?

Danni: No pain, but I feel really hungry.

"Everyone will be back with dinner soon."

Mom: I think Danni should get some rest. From everything I've seen and heard, she's been through a lot for someone her age.

Danni: I've been resting Grams.

"I went through almost everything you're going through and I know from experience you need to rest. At least until the others get back."

Danni: Ok, Daddy. Can I at least play one of Sammy's games since I can't get up?

"As long as you stay on that couch."

Danni: Promise. Phantom's Honor.

Dad: Is that like "Scout's Honor"?

"Not really. Sammy and Danni won't break a promise when they say "Phantom's Honor" unless it harms themselves or others."

As Sam and my parents went to the kitchen to get it ready for dinner, I set Danni up with the game system that we kept in the living room for when either of the twins were confined to the couch.
