I do not own Danny Phantom or anyone or anything here. Expect the crazy plot story idea.
"Talking"
'Thought'
"'bond talk"'
Thanksgiving Day, Amber's place.
Hearing the doorbell ring, she heard Danielle running to the door. Rolling her eyes she sighed and gave herself a reaffirming nod. Seeing that it's half-past one, she looks at the table and gave it a careful inspection to make sure that everything was in its place.
'Mom wasn't kidding' Letting out a sigh as she wiped her hands on the apron she was wearing. 'This will help me along the way, but times are different not many people these days still do this.' Seeing that Danny and his family walked in, she walks over to Danny and gives him a kiss on the check.
"Hey rock star, do you need any help with anything?" Danny asked.
Amber shakes her head and giggles. "No everything is pragmatically done. All the pots and pans are in the dishwasher and the food is done, all we need to now is grab the food from the kitchen and put it on table."
When Maddie and Jack first walked inside Amber's home, they are shocked to see how stylish, but also clean it is. Maddie turned to Amber giggling and talking to Danny. Frowning, than giving her a hard glare she stopped herself and let out a sigh for some reason, it was a feeling that she couldn't shake off. But after seeing how Amber is and how much Danny loves her, to which Maddie thinks it's ridiculous. Teenagers their age think they already know what love is.
Jack on the other hand was shocked to see the large fifty five inch flat screen tv. Seeing that Danielle was watching a movie, he turned to her smiling as the two started to watch the movie together.
"Need any help Amber?" Jazz asked with a smile.
"Just help putting the food on the table. Danielle set the table while I did the cooking. All the pots and pans are in the dishwasher so clean up was a breeze. I also cooked a turkey breast and ham-" Amber stops talking seeing that she said the magic work for Jack to come in with Maddie walking in the other side of the kitchen.
"Someone say ham!" Jack said excitedly, smiling.
"Jack of course there will be ham," Maddie said as she rolls her eyes and looks around. "Amber your home is beautiful. You said your grandfather took care of everything here correct?"
She remembered the home being on sale for years and no one wanted to touch it nor so anything.
"Yup. He got it much lower since it was needed a lot of work. Luckily he knew the right companies from Dimmsdale. From what I was told, everything was gutted out from the walls to the floor heck to straight to the bricks, from there everything was replaced." Amber explained.
Danny nods knowing how true she is speaking seeing he and Tucker are the ones who got the work done.
"So, dinner," Amber said with a smile.
Everyone nods as they all took a a pot or plate to the table. Once all the food was on the table. With everyone going around taking a turn for grace they began to eat. Danny smiles and at Amber sitting next to him. Smiling he looks at Danielle eating a slice of ham.
After a few hours the most of the table cleared and the leftover food was put in Tupperware for Danny's family to take home. Soon dessert was on the table. Jack and Danielle each eyeing the vanilla pudding cups. But before they start the doorbell rang making Jack, Jazz and Danny confused. Amber went to the door.
Walking in to the house joining them for dessert was someone that Danny would've never in a million years expect, but also bringing along someone else in tow.
"Vlad?" Danny said confused. Watching him walking in, but not alone. "Dinah!" Seeing her wearing a green sleek tight dress showing some curves. Vlad always wore a tux "Hmm, now this is a surprise," Danny said turning to Amber seeing her with a knowing grin on her face. Danielle has a big smile on her face.
"Yes, it quite a surprise" Vlad said clearing his throat. Dinah now is scarlet in the face.
Jack grinned as he pulled a seat next to him. "Well come on and join us Vladdy and tell us how did this happened."
"Wow!" Maddie was shocked as she looked at Dinah.
Danny turns to Amber who smiled. "'A few minutes before we started to eat your mom got a call from Vlad. She didn't want to pick up, but she knew he would call back again. After a few minutes of the two talking and telling him you guys were here. Danielle over heard and told her it's ok for Vlad to come. Granted I didn't want to, seeing as he's your enemy and all. But Danielle had a twinkle in her eye so I couldn't say no."'
Listening to Amber through their bond link, Danny gave a nod. "'Ok. I get that but, what kind of twinkle in her eye?" Danny asked. This is the first he has heard about Danielle having this twinkle. Feeling Ember shiver he raised an eye wondering what is wrong.
'"Lets just say she takes after the both of us. She said to me after your mom let Vlad to come over to see what he can't have, or better yet to see what you and I have. I'm telling you baby pop, baby dip really does takes after the both of us"'. Shivering a bit seeing how devious but also cut throated Danielle can be when she told Amber this. Seeing how innocent her voice sounded, but this isn't really innocent more cut-throat.
Danny with a small chuckle and nod, he turned to Amber who was walking in. She sat on his lap and looks at Dinah who hasn't stopped blushing. Amber had to be the first seeing everyone is staring at her sitting next to Vlad.
"So how did this happen?" Amber asked with a light giggle.
"Yes and please don't hold out any details. Who would have thought the V-man had this in him," Danny said with a chuckle. Giving Vlad an amused grin, the older halfa rolls his eyes while Jack grins and Maddie smiles.
"This is a surprise," Jazz said grinning at Vlad wondering how did this all star. Jazz turned to Amber who looks at Danielle seeing this is her doing.
"Yup," Danielle said smiling.
Maddie nods and leans forward. Taking a bite of the apple pie "Yes please tell us...oh my god this apple pie is delicious!"
Dinah turned even more red letting out a giggle she smiles and looks at Vlad who chuckles and nods.
"For almost ten years now, I go with my grandparents to the opera house in Amity park. This year my grandparents won a trip to go on a cruise but they still had tickets for the opera. So I decided to go by myself. When I got there I accidentally bumped into Mr. Masters," Dinah started. Seeing everyone smiling she turns to Vlad with a smile.
Smiling at Vlad, she enjoyed her conservation with him.
"Yes. I bumped into Dinah. At first I was shocked to see her there, but after a few minutes of talking. I asked her to join me in my private box where we saw the show and enjoyed each other's company," Vlad said smiling at Dinah. Vlad looks over at Jack, who is giving him a thumbs up where Vlad sent him a smile.
Jack is grinning. Maddie is smiling hoping this might be it. Vlad won't try to flirt with her no more. Jazz was shocked, but also nods. Amber and Danny send a glance at each other and nod. Danny is now seeing a different side of Vlad, a side he saw in the alternate time line.
"Wow only just met and already inviting her to your private box," Danny said with a small chuckle while grabbing himself some of the apple pie and scooping himself a helping of vanilla pudding.
"Real funny Daniel. I'll remember this next time you ask for a permit, I'll make sure you pay double," Vlad said. Everyone laughs at the joke as everyone listens to their date whole Amber and Danny started cleaning up a bit. Putting away the previous load of the dishwasher away and filling up the next.
Amber turns to Danny seeing something is on his mind. "You think this is legit? On what Vlad is feeling from there he is smiling and talking to your dad not like the other times. Like how he would just roll his eyes and sigh." Amber said. She has never seen Vlad act and tolerate Jack antics.
Danny poked his head out looking into the living room seeing Jazz and Danielle talking and laughing, his parents smiling and talking to Vlad and Dinah of all people.
He can't help think, but also watches Vlad carefully seeing him and his father with each of their arms around their necks smiling.
"I want to say yes, but lets wait a while," Danny said.
As the two walk in with coffee and tea, Maddie takes a sip of the tea and looks at Amber.
"This tea, it's what Danny makes at home" looking at Amber, Maddie nods seeing where Danny got the recipe from it.
"Tea or coffee are good but prefer something little stronger," Dinah said.
Seeing Vlad look at her with an raise eye "What? I grew up with a grandfather who made his own shine like in the old days".
"Ahh, than no problem," Amber smiled. Walking towards the liquor cabinet everyone turns to her. As she opens it she takes out a few bottles out and places them on the table. "Lets see, I got a few here."
Maddie mouth drops open seeing none of them are open she sighs in relief and Danny shrugs his shoulders.
Vlad sent Jack a glance who both of them look at the selection she placed on the table.
"Brandy?" Jack asked Vlad, knowing he likes to drink it.
Vlad took a moment and shakes his head. "No not tonight. I'm eyeing that scotch right there, that's a really good one." Jack nods and agrees with Vlad there.
"Now that's what I'm talking about, way to go girl!" Dinah giggles and opens the bottle of whiskey. "What? I grew up drinking at family parties like this."
Amber places a few scotch glasses and whiskey shooters on the table. "Same here with my life." Amber said with a small smile. Thinking about her past life when her grandparents would do this or her parents as well.
"Well at least there's no open bottles" Maddie said with a relieved sigh. Seeing a shooter cup in front of her she turns to Vlad who smiles. "Oh no! Not going to happen, this isn't college," Folding her arms shaking her head she notices Jack taking the bottle from Dinah.
"It's an Irish whiskey your favorite, or would you rather have another bottle of wine?" Jack teased. Maddie looks away but she looks back at the bottle in his hands and sighs. Nodding her head, Jazz raise an eye she didn't wave any wine this time. Letting out a sigh she is happy Danny drove everyone here.
"Ok fine, just one shot. Can't believe we are doing this it's college all over again," Maddie mutters.
"One or a few won't hurt Maddie," Dinah smiles and winks at Vlad.
Amber turns to Danny who shrugs his shoulders. "This is going to be one thanksgiving none of us are going to forget."
"I couldn't have said it better myself," Amber said.
Casper high school Monday December after thanksgiving vacation.
Everyone is back to school. Most teenagers are checking website to get the best deals on Monday after thanksgiving sales. Seeing the shopping weekend started on Friday most teens are buying a few things.
"So anything new?" Valerie asked watching Danny close his locker and shakes his head. Amber is checking on her phone for some gift for him, but can't find what she wants.
"Nothing besides what we told you guys on what happen on thanksgiving day" Danny said.
"Yea no kidding," Amber added.
Everyone nods when Amber called Sam and Valerie on the phone to have a three chat. Amber told the two girls on who came over the house and why Danielle convinced Amber to let Vlad come. Both older girls shudder to think how devious Danielle will be when she gets older.
"Can't believe Vlad is tapping Dinah," Tucker shakes his head while everyone looks at him. "What you didn't see the hickey marks on her neck she is wearing that Pam Am scarf knot.".
"Really Tucker. I thought you would be use to Amber and Danny bite marks on each other," Sam rolls her eyes while Amber giggles and Danny chuckles.
Seeing each of them having fresh marks on their neck seeing that he got the ok to stay over Amber house on thanksgiving day. His parents weren't all drunk but their decision making was comprise enough for him to stay over.
"Guys, bad news." Valerie put her cell away and sighs. "Dash is back from the hospital". Everyone groaned and Amber sighs than nods. With them heading to class they enter the classroom and blink. As the five members of team Phantom blink at Dinah they turn to Tucker who nods.
Amber and Danny took their seats. As Danny looks at Dinah who is fidgeting with her scarf knot. Danny turns to Amber who nods to Danny and looks at Tucker with a nod.
With everyone in their seats. Everyone sees Dash walking in with a cast on his nose with tubes sticking out. As he takes a seat in front of the class everyone turns to Danny who is reading a book.
"Ok this went down to hell." Dinah notices how the atmosphere change very quickly in her class. Seeing Dash glaring at Danny she notices Amber talking to Sam wondering when did this happen she shrug her shoulders.
"What happen to your neck?" Star asked walking in with Paulina nodding her head.
"Yea I thought Amber and Danny necks were bad, but you out did them both." Paulina looks at Dinah neck and back to Danny and Amber who has grins on their face.
Valerie, Sam starts to giggle. Dinah turns red and groans and removes the scarf from her neck. The guys in the classroom sighs.
LATER Lunch
"So what's the plan after class?" Amber asked.
Taking a bite of her lunch she sees Danny reading a book rolling her eyes "Baby pop so help me if that's a men's magazine I'm going to-" Watching Danny lift the book up seeing it's history.
"Come on rock star I know better. Besides I leave a duplicate to read it at night," Danny said with a grin. Knowing how true that is he notices Tucker nodding his head.
Amber turns red and looks away but frowns seeing Dash walking to their table. "What Dash?" Danny asked sensing his presence at the end of the table while his eyes never left the book he is reading.
Dash took a deep breath and glares at Danny. "How?!" Everyone blinks at Dash wondering what does he mean how.
"How what?" Danny asked. Confused he turns to Valerie who shrugs her shoulders seeing Star tells her stuff in advance and she tells Danny and the others next.
Dash throws his lunch on the floor making a loud crash. "How the hell did you get those muscles?!" Dash exclaimed. The cafeteria got quiet and everyone is looking at Dash. "So how?!" Dash demanded.
Danny rolls his eyes and sighs. As the rest of the table got up to throw their lunches out or to head outside. Danny got up and looks straight at Dash and sighs. Danny shakes his head he isn't has buff as Kwan or Dash he's as tall as Dash maybe taller by an half inch.
"It's call puberty and going to the gym. I'm not taking steroids like you or the others. Besides I train in boxing and martial arts." Danny said walking away. The group heads outside. Everyone watches the five of them exit the cafeteria leaving Dash standing by himself.
Dash stood there shaking in rage.
Mayor's Office later
Danny, Ember and Danielle are flying towards the mayor office. Each of them are wondering what Vlad knows seeing that Danny told them about Thanatos the grim reaper of ghosts. As they phase through the walls than doors they notices Vlad quickly sitting in his chair and looking nervous.
"Vlad," Danny folds his arms and floats off the ground. Ember is close to him watching him seeing him nervous. Danielle on the other hand is looking around the office. "We need to have a little chat".
"About what?" Vlad asked moving his hand across his neck. Trying to get Danny to stop talking and when Danny, Ember saw this they turn to each other wondering what is going on.
Danielle notices something about Vlad's desk. Blinking she floats closer to it and notices a person foot sticking out the person has heels on. Blinking and confuse she looks at her parents and than to Vlad.
"Why are you wearing woman's heels?" Danielle asked.
Vlad flinched and starts to chuckle nervously. Seeing Danielle saw someone heels under his desk.
Danny mouth drops open. Vlad wouldn't, he isn't that type. On the other hand he heard the stories from his father and mother, but no that was in college. He is a business man and a politician. Yeah politician do have scandals, it comes with it. He'd never would've come from Vlad. Hiding a woman under his desk how old is he?
Ember gasp and points at the desk "Why do you have a woman under your desk?".
"Busted," Both Vlad and the female spoke. Vlad rolled back and the person coming underneath his desk is Dinah.
"Hi," Dinah said nervously waving at the Phantom family.
Danielle tilts her head confused and floats closer to Dinah. "Why were you-" Ember places her hand over Danielle's mouth. Turning to Danny giving him a look who sighs and starts to rub his temple.
"I'm going to take her outside and please don't stand up Masters," Ember floats up with Danielle in her arms struggling from her mother grasp. Vlad turns red and looks away and Dinah she raises an eye and grins. Shaking her head she turns to Danny who is rubbing his temples.
"Why are you guys here?" Dinah asked looking at Phantom. She turns to Vlad who is clearing his throat. Wondering the same thing as well he turns to Dinah and nods.
"A few weeks ago I was attacked by that ghost queen and her son. They wanted my family heirlooms that happens to be ghost items. So I split them apart one to the GIW a key and the other a crown to the Fentons. Maddie and Jack are studying it. I told Phantom to come see me in a few weeks to discuss to have it secure in the ghost zone away from the queen and prince," Vlad said.
Dinah hearing this nods. She watched the news media on when the dragon attacked the mayor building and these two royal ghosts came to the mayor building and attacked Vlad. But luckily Vlad keeps ghost weapons in case of attacks.
"You did what!" Danny exclaimed, his eyes flash sliver. The adults in the room glance at each other and Dinah took a step close to Vlad. This is the first time Danny has heard about this his parent's didn't mention nothing about a crown. But also giving the GIW the skeleton key wondering what Vlad is thinking. Danny takes a deep breath and glares at Vlad than clears his voice to speak.
"A word alone, Mayor Masters. I know you been busy seeing the holidays, but also with what happen at the museum. I'm finally able to talk to you," Danny said with a low hiss. Glaring at Vlad he notices Dinah shivering and soon white orbs started to zoom by and a low wailing.
Vlad narrows his eyes on Danny trying his best not to let his haunt affect him but Dinah grabs Vlad arms and squeezes his arm. Before Vlad shouts Danny name Ember and Danielle float down screaming his.
"Danny/Daddy" Ember and Danielle floated back down. Snapping Danny he turns to them and back to Vlad who has a scowl and Dinah looks nervous.
"You need to get that under control. I know it's a new ability but you really need to control your temper and I'm the one with the fire core with the temper that's a lot coming from me," Ember said. She knows she has a temper and Danny has one too but to see him like this.
Danielle nods and floated next to her dad "We felt it from the roof. Maybe you need a snow cone to cool off, you have an ice core remember," Danielle said.
"Fire core. Ice core?" Dinah asked. She looks at Vlad who is leaning back on his chair with a half smile grin. She on the other hand is confuse and lost "You know what they are talking about?".
"Yes. Ghosts have a core that gives them their powers personally and more. Some cores takes on a certain nature like how you die. Fire for instance or ice perhaps lightning," Vlad explained.
Dinah hearing this nods. Looking at Vlad with a concern look who is holding her hand. She turns and notices Danny guilty look. "Sorry about that still getting use to this new ability. Didn't mean to start using on you" Danny apologizes.
"It's alright. It wasn't so bad like last time," Dinah said. Vlad got up and walks towards Dinah giving her a peck on the cheek. As she leaves the room, Vlad sighs and looks at the three ghosts.
"So what do I owe this meeting?" Vlad asked wondering why Danny, Ember and Danielle is here.
"Thanatos," Danny said. Vlad flinches hearing the name wondering how Danny knows the name. He looks at the younger halfa wondering how does he know that ghost.
"He said something about a book you had and read. A book on how to make the Eidolon core?. That it was more of a journal of some sort."
Danny watches Vlad nodding wondering what else Vlad has been doing.
Vlad hearing this raised an eye, but soon his eyes widen. Walking towards the computer he pulls up a video as the three younger halfa watch the monitor seeing a book of some sort fall on the ground and spin. Than two ghostly figures appear and one points to Vlad.
"Lahkesis" Ember whispered. Turning to Danny who nods seeing her ghostly figure they understand what she meant when Thanatos was upset with Clockwork. That Clockwork responded to his little sister about their father wanted the book out.
"The ghost of fate," Vlad said seeing the three nod. Vlad notice the three nod letting out a sigh he looks at Danny and Ember.
"Than the tattoos are the results from her I assume?" Vlad asked, remembering what Maddie said on what Danny and Amber did.
"It's for our bond. We can feel each other-" Danny stops talking seeing Vlad rolls his eyes.
"Yes, yes Fright knight told me of this bond you two have. But seeing the ghost of fate actually helping you. It means your bond to each other has not only strength it but also helped you two," Vlad muttered.
Danny smirks and nods, Danielle grins while Ember smiles and nods. As the older halfa rolls his eyes upset but also jealous of Danny. He sighs and types a few things into the computer and soon pages appear on the monitor.
"I will download them on a USB drive. From there you can read the pages yourself, it also mentions about a weapon he made and gave it to a king in the mortal world."
"Excalibur!" answer Ember seeing its the only weapon made and gave it to a king in to the mortal world.
Vlad sees Danny shock reaction as he nods he looks back at the pages. Happy he had a scanner over his shoulder when he was reading the book. The scanner scanned the pages and notes as well.
"Then do you know the name Raith?" Danny heard of the name before but can't remember and seeing Vlad tense. He looks at him waiting for the older halfa to tell him what he knows.
"Come now Daniel surely you remember," Vlad blinks and seeing Danny confuse face. He types in a date and soon an video of Queen and prince appears. Danny looks confuse but Vlad turns to him.
"Listen to what she said."
As everyone watches the play back: 'Ahh yes the time wraith. I haven't seen him since I battled his father along with those other ancients. Raith was a formidable specter his children eager to fight along side him.'.
Once the video ends they turn to Danny who is in deep taught. "I don't understand," looking confuse and lost. He takes the USB from Vlad and sighs.
"There is many answers only you three can find. Even I want answer to myself but yet I can't. So I suggest you three leave so I can get back to work" Vlad said as he fixes his jacket and looks at the three.
Ember raises an eye and sighs "Well at least use protection and don't do something we wouldn't do," The grin on her face made Vlad turn red and Danny chuckles, but Danielle blinks and looks confuse.
"Was he going to do something bad to Dinah?" Danielle asked.
Danny groans and shakes his head while Vlad sighs.
"Teenagers." Vlad muttered.
"Come on we got to meet Clockwork," Danny said. Creating a portal the three younger halfa flown through the portal. Vlad thinks back at the book but also one line that stood out. Was it for him or for someone else.
'You won't win, EVER!' Vlad thought about that line.
Next Day After school
When Danny and Ember came back from Clockwork tower. They sent a text to everyone to meet at the school field. Once class was over all of them were there and each of them was wondering what is going on. Danny told Jazz everything and Jazz nods listened to her little brother on the info but also read what Vlad had.
"This is insane," Tucker said. Looking at Danny who nods "So this ghost Raith is an ancient and he scattered his remaining power to the area where your parents portal opened, that made you a halfa."
Tucker sees Danny nods as he passes him the papers seeing he printed the contents from the USB to give to Sam, Valerie to read. Each of them are surprise.
"This is unbelievable," Valerie said letting out a sigh she wonders what else is going to happen.
"No kidding. Who knew Danny would get powers from an ancients who happens to be one of the lasts to seal against the Dark family, but also gave his power to Danny. It's like he knew this was going to happen and was preparing the next generation for this," Sam looks at everyone but seeing Danny sighs she raises an eye. Amber decides to tell them what Clockwork said.
"Clockwork said he didn't know what his father was doing. This is something he wasn't expecting he said he is walking into this blind." Amber sees, Valerie, Sam and Tucker shock reaction she nods. "Yea has no clue what is going to happen. So other words we need to prepare and fight." Still looking at the pages she reread it at least a dozen times and can't believe what she read.
"So what's next?" Tucker asked.
Danny sighs "Train and gather more info and we got a meeting with my parents in an hour at Phantom base."
Everyone nods and seeing Danny is willing to give his parents a chance on what they are going to ask.
There's has been more and more scholars from around the world coming to the museum asking questions. Last he heard about Lana Etrigan was meeting high scholars all from England congratulating her and her family.
"Well good luck," Sam said to the two. As Danny and Amber nods they head towards Jenny's house to pick up Danielle.
Phantom base LATER
As Danny sits in front of the computer, Danielle was introduced to Cujo. Smiling seeing she is playing with Cujo in his puppy form running around Danielle barking in excitement. Ember smiles at Cujo who runs to her and soon starts running around her. Seeing he hasn't forgotten bout her. Ember smiles and pets the puppy who licks her hand making her giggle.
Danny smiles and looks back to the computer monitor. Sending the email he waits for a few minutes and sends the call. As the video calls connect he leans back on the chair and soon Maddie and Jack appear on the screen.
"Afternoon, hope this is a good time?" Danny asked. Watching Jack fumble with some notes in his hand he notices his mother rolling her eyes and nodding.
"Ok great so questions?" Danny asked.
Maddie nods "Yes. Queen Dark and Pariah Jr. If they are royalty in the ghost zone why aren't they ruling?" This is a question Maddie has been pondering but their is also more question she wants to know.
"Indeed we didn't know the ghost zone even had a governing structure?" Jack wondered. Thinking it was just ghost all around the ghost zone.
Danny sighs and nods. He first starts telling them who the Dark Family is but also how it went. Seeing them listening to him and how the Dark family treated the ghosts in the ghost zone. Danny explains who the Ancients were and how they sealed them away.
"So the key and crown that belongs to Vlad is actually-" Jack never finished the question. Seeing Danny eyes glow red angry about this seeing his parents have the crown.
"Yes. I really was shocked that Masters had these relics in his possession. Also even more upset he gave you the crown of Fire to study seeing how dangerous the crown is, but also who it once belonged to," Danny muttered in a hiss which didn't go unnoticed by the adults.
Maddie nods and when she and Jack started to study it a few days after they study the blood and ectoplasma. They saw the power the crown held but also it seemed as something was missing from it. As the three go back and forth Jack, Maddie sees Danielle in the back ground smiling and playing. Seeing Ember talking to them but also keeping an eye on Danielle.
Danny nods and gives his parents honest answer. Seeing they been talking for almost two hours he is happy and hopes things can be different. As more and more information is share, Jack nods and wonders about a few things.
Than Maddie said something that made them both freeze. "Halfa. We assume it means half human and ghost. One of our inventions blow up when we were inside the Fenton assault R.V. Error unknown core unknown level reading human DNA. That's what it said before it overloaded."
Once Maddie finished, Jack uploads the results onto the screen making Danny raise an eye.
Seeing the results of some test. He sees the ectoplasma and human DNA. He recognize it because of Frostbite showing and teaching him on how to read it. Seeing what happen to Danielle he needed to learn it.
"Whose ectoplasma did you test?" Danny asked as he narrows his eyes on them. Ember hearing this but soon she sighs and nods touching Danny's arm. He raises an eye seeing Ember holding a spot where she got stab. "Your's from when you got stab they collected it at the area". Danny mutters and turns to his parents who look sad and ashamed something he wasn't expecting.
"We want to apologize for shooting at you. We didn't know but also didn't understand either on how can this happen. I mean this is a breakthrough, but also on how did he make you one as well?" Maddie asked. Watching Danny staring at her she notices Ember smile and she sits on Danny' lap.
"It's a long story. Very long and it's not time but also we aren't ready to tell you. We are protecting our families well his family mostly I died in the early seventies. So whatever family I had are gone or moved away. But things didn't go as planned he never forgot about me. He was out there looking for me and when he found me the enemy attacked us. In his weakened state he had something that belonged to me when I was alive. Made me remember but also helped me become a halfa," Ember said as she places her head on his neck line.
Both Maddie and Jack watch their interaction and smile. Thinking about their son Danny and his girlfriend they can see the genuine affection of both Danny and Ember towards each other.
Danny kisses her on the cheek. "I could never forget you, even though they tried to erase my memories or seal them away I refuse to let them." Knowing how hard he tried but also thankful for Tuckers help.
Jack and Maddie are shock to hear this but when Danny said "them"?
"Them? I'm confused" Maddie asked
Jack nods wondering what he means.
Danny sighs and starts to a slide show of important figures in the ghost zone. As Jack and Maddie have this video call being recorded they are are taking notes on who is an enemy in the ghost zone but also who are allies. Seeing who the Observants are they nod and continue to Lahkesis to her oldest brother while leaving Clockwork name out for now.
After another hour and Jack and Maddie asking questions they noticed Danielle peeking over Danny shoulder looking at them with a smile. As she notices Jack smiling at her, Danielle raises her hand getting Danny attention.
"What's wrong Danielle?" Danny asked seeing Cujo sleeping curled up in a ball at the corner of the the lab he turns to Ember who shrugs her shoulders. Danny wonders if she is thinking about something.
"Well they study mom's blood and ectoplasma right?" Danielle asked Jack and Maddie nod. Danielle blinks and looks at Danny "Well they must have cross examined it, but also remove what ever impurities from mom blood. Meaning they found out the transformation from blood to ectoplasma to ectoplasma to blood. Question remains they want to know how did this happen?" Danielle notices everyone looking at her with a weird look.
Jack and Maddie mouth drops open while Danny chuckles. Ember sighs and smiles with a nod of head. Knowing that Danielle would be smart in this seeing who are her grandparents even though they don't know it yet.
"Well baby pop she was your clone she does take more after you in this kind of field," Ember said giggling.
Danny nods and smiles seeing how smart Danielle is.
"She is what seven years old and figured this out easily," Jack is shocked, but Maddie on the other hand.
"Clone. She was a clone?!" Maddie looks at Ember who wince while Danny chuckles and nods. "How is that even possible to clone a ghost, it's impossible!" Maddie looks at Danielle but than to Danny who smiles.
"Like you said, a halfa. My enemy tried to clone me but instead Danielle came to be. He tricked her and tried using her. But things didn't go well for him and Danielle saw he was only using her instead of looking for a cure to help her before she became a puddle of ectoplasma goo. I didn't care how she look she needed my help". Before Danny can finish Danielle floated in front of the screen.
"But mom and dad fixed me and what ever the bae-ty-lus yeah the baetylus was left in mom was used on me. Making me a real halfa, real half human and real half ghost, but I deaged a bit," Danielle felt her mother hands on her shoulders making her giggle. "Did I say it right this time?" Danielle asked.
"Yes" Ember giggled. Seeing she had a hard time last time with Clockwork seeing that Danny hasn't much him about the other ghosts.
Danny sighs and nods, but smiles. Seeing she finally got it right and seeing his parents shock reaction.
"Yes you did Danielle, how about you and Ember finish with dinner and I will clear up the last things here," Danny said.
Danielle nods and floats up to the kitchen while Ember sighs and rolls her eyes. Kissing Danny on the cheek she snaps her fingers getting Cujo attention who soon jumps in her arms. As he barks Ember floats up the to kitchen. Danny notices his parents silence look and lets out a sigh wanting to tell them but knowing how much danger they can be in.
"Look, Yes Danielle was a clone. Incomplete and Ember was there to help save her and the baetylus like what Danielle said. It was a powerful ghost relic probably more powerful than the crown you have. The stone if used for good the person would be endowed with life being alive again but used for evil. They would gain power and soon lose themselves." Danny said.
Danny notices his parents silence. Thinking about the stone as well seeing even Clockwork didn't expect the power of stone to even prevent him. Wondering what is wrong he notices his mom sigh and looks at her with a smile. Seeing Jack doing the same thing he wonders what is wrong.
"You could've just left her but instead you didn't. Instead you took responsibility and Ember is there you two are really acting like parents. What do your parents say or do they even know?" Maddie asked.
Wondering what his parents say about this Maddie looks at Phantom who snorts and roll his eyes. Jack raised an eye and turns to Maddie wondering if she is thinking the same thing he is thinking. Danny shakes his head they are shock but before they spoke Danny lifts his hand up preventing them from talking.
"Before you say anything. Let me remind you what happen for the first few weeks to months in Amity Park. I was shot at, blamed, but also hunted," Danny emphasizes each bad thing that happen to him. But also stopping he snaps his fingers "But also have a bounty and being chased by the geeks-in-white claiming that an abomination."
Jack winces to hear this. Maddie stomach starts to twist again. Just thinking about the results that she and Jack did she sighs and nods. Seeing that Phantom was only trying to help but they didn't do much to help him instead caused him problems. Even with the GIW on him it made things worse for him.
"No, my parents don't know. My sister does though, she accidentally found out about me. Only my best friends know they been helping me, Ember and Danielle. So I'm not alone and I have help. But also I have them," Danny said with a smile.
Thinking of Ember and Danielle seeing how far everyone has gotten he looks at his parents sitting in silence.
"I understand you want to protect your family but your parents must be worried. But also how did this happen to you how did you become a halfa?" Maddie asked.
She has much more questions now before she even started this video.
Jack nods "Aren't you worried if something bad happens to you. I mean this is a break through. I understand you have help but you-" seeing Phantom sigh. Jack wonders what he is thinking and seeing him look at both him and Maddie.
"Thank you. I mean it thank you but I can't yet I have too much to lose. Maybe someday but not right now. I need to look after Ember and Danielle and trust me when I say this. If you two ever found out things would be very different," Danny chuckled.
Thinking about it he shakes his head and sighs but also looks at the screen where Ember DNA was on.
"Well we are willing to help," Maddie said.
"Yes even fighting," Jack said with a grin.
Danny nods hearing some barking, Cujo lands on Danny lap gently and barks. "Dinner time I assume. Jack , Maddie thanks for your time and I hope things will be different in the future".
"Until next time," Maddie said.
Jack nods and ends the call.
Danny sits there and sighs. "Some day mom and dad. Some day," Danny said with a smile. Cujo barks agreeing with Danny.
At Fenton works right after the video meeting.
Jack looks at Maddie seeing it's been a few seconds since they ended the call. Watching her going to the computer she looks at Phantom, Ember and Danielle video play back feed and frowns.
"They are practically children, she is just a child seven the most and they are sixteen, what kind of parents would allow their child to do this?!" Maddie is angry, but also upset. Shaking her head she looks at the picture of her own children and shivers. Thinking about her children she shivers and tries to push those thoughts away hoping her children never has to experience that.
Jack frowns and nods "Yes they are, but you have to admit this. Phantom has done a lot of growing up, we don't know who he is. He is trying his best with what he has and is taking responsibility. I mean Ember has gotten us on social media, but also everyone knows more of the Fenton name because of those two."
Maddie nods understanding what Jack means. Ember streaming but also Phantom singing at the Halloween fundraiser. She sighs and can't but help wonder if everything will be fine for them.
