Here is chapter 2! Enjoy!


"Okay let me get this straight, you went into the Ghost Zone, talked with Pandora and then she adopted you?!" Tucker asked, still in disbelief of what his friend just told him.

"Yes Tucker, that's exactly what happened" Danny said, exasperated at his friend question after the third time he told his adventure of last night.

"Tucker I swear if you ask that one more time, I'll kick your shin so hard that you'll limp for the rest of the day" Sam said, openly showing her irritation.

"Okay, okay I'll stop... though I still have problems processing this new information" Tucker said before taking a bite of his triple-meat hamburger.

The three friends were reunited in the Nasty Burger, seated in a table far enough for others to not interrupt their conversation. Tucker was having his meal between breakfast and lunch, or as he likes to call it 'break-lunch', Sam and Danny were having a soy-strawberry shake and a chocolate milkshake respectively. That morning Danny was awaken by his cell phone, in which there was a message of Tucker suggesting for the three of them to meet at the fast food restaurant, he agreed and leave his house, letting his parents and sister know where he was going.

After encountering with his friends and ordered their food, Danny proceeded to explain all of what happened in the Ghost Zone, omitting the part when he cried because he still felt childish for that. His friends reactions were very similar, they were happy for their friend; they had know each other since preschool and know how forgetful the Fenton adults can be, like the time when Danny spend one week in Tucker's house before his parents knew he wasn't in his home. They thought it was good for Danny to have a mother figure that's willing to make time for him, though Tucker couldn't comprehend how it happened so fast.

"Dude, I still don't get how did you get adopted in just a few hours" Tucker commented, making a confused face while taking a bite of his food.

"Pandora said she wanted to help me because there was nobody to care or teach me that know of my species" Danny said.

"It's good that she adopted you then, so if you need help with something ghost related you can go to her... and not Vlad" Sam said, frowning at the mention of the mayor.

"Yea, anyway I want to visit her tonight, can you guys cover for me in patrol?" Danny asked, taking a drink of his milkshake.

"Sure man, we'll take care of any ghost, but wouldn't you get tired after not sleeping that much for two nights in a row?" Tucker asked.

"I would but I think I don't need to sleep for eight hours like before" Danny said thoughtful.

"Why do you think that?" Sam asked curiously.

"Well because I remember going to sleep at three and then wake up at seven, though I was comfortable and I stayed in bed until nine, it's Saturday after all" Danny said smiling.

"So now you need four hours of sleep per night. It makes sense if you think about it, now that you're half human you need only half the hours of sleep an average human needs" Sam said after calculating in her head how many hours Danny slept.

"Wait, if Danny just need four hours per night to be okay, why is he so tired in class?" Tucker asked while grabbing some fries.

"That only happens because ghost keep interrupting me, I sleep for half an hour then Skulker appears, then Box Ghost, Johnny 13, or any other ghost and at the end of the night I had slept like two hours, and only in a slow night" Danny said, annoyed at the ghosts.

"Sorry we can't help more Danny" Sam said feeling a little down.

"You guys do more than I could ask for, so don't worry Sam" Danny said smiling. Sam smiled at him, she was going to say something more, but before she could they get interrupted.

"Lovebirds~" Tucker said taunting them in a singing voice.

"WE ARE NOT LOVEBIRDS!" Sam and Danny shouted at the same time.

The freak trio, as they are called in school, continued talking for some more, until lunch time came. They said their farewells and go to their respective homes. After lunch, Danny went to his room to do some homework, but before he could Jazz knocked on his door, Danny let her in and she asked him what did he do in the Ghost Zone. Danny told her what he told his friends and waits for her response.

"Are you sure about this little brother? Do you feel comfortable with this? " Jazz asked curious about the situation and concerned for her brother feelings.

"Yes I'm sure Jazz, I feel like an ache in my core that make me feel that something was lacking, now is gone and... I'm happy" Danny said smiling and putting his hand on his chest, where his core remains.

Jazz seeing the happiness in his face, knew there was nothing wrong in this situation, at least for now in her opinion.

"Alright Danny, I trust you know what you are doing. I'll let you do your homework" Jazz said while exiting his room.


Later that night, Danny was flying through the Ghost Zone, he was content that his friends and sister were okay with Pandora adopting him. He wasn't sure what his parents would think if he ever told them his secret. Shaking his head, Danny continues his travel to Athens, it wouldn't do good to worry about something that has not happened.

Arriving to Athens Danny went to knock the door, like the last time, but before he could touch it the door opened by itself. Confusedly Danny went inside the temple, looking for whoever opened the door, finding nobody he shrugs and make his way to the palace. Coming to the big golden doors of the palace Danny went, once again, to knock on the doors only to come with the same results as the doors of the temple. Going inside the palace even more confused, he found some servants that were cleaning the hallway and asked them where he could find Pandora.

Following the instructions given to him by the servants, Danny founds Pandora in a room similar to a study, the walls were painted a warm golden and the floor had terracotta tiles, there was a wall with shelves full of books that looked ancient and glowed, a big desk made of dark glowing wood that had engravings of vines in the legs and was near a big window, that when opened would lead to the garden; what differenced this room from a study room was the weapons, in the wall opposed to the shelves there were rested a grand variety of swords, knives, axes, spears, maces and shields all cleaned and looking deadly sharp.

Pandora was seated behind the desk doing some kind of paperwork, when Danny entered she paused her work and looked to the person that entered. When she saw it was Danny, she got up from the desk and came to greet him.

"Oh Danny, it's good to see you" Pandora said smiling and hugging her son.

"Hi Pandora, it's good to be back" Danny said hugging her back and smiling.

"I didn't expect you so soon, did you came for an specific reason?" Pandora said curiously.

"No, nothing specific I just wanted to be here and... you know to talk more" Danny said rubbing the back of his head, he just wanted to bond with his new adopted mother, the thought of that still feel weird to him, but in a good way.

"Well now that you're here, I'll just have to give you the surprise I prepared" Pandora said smiling more seeing the interest in Danny's face.

"Really? What is it? Where is it? When are you going to show me? Are we going now? Can we go now? Wh-" Danny questioning rant gets interrupted by Pandora's chucking. It wasn't often that Danny had a surprise, that's the reason that he was so excited about this.

"Yes we are going right now, follow me" Pandora said and leaded him out of the study room and into the big hallway.

Coming to a door, it opened to reveal stairs, going upstairs they were in another hallway, not as big as the one downstairs, there were more doors and some decorative plants.

"In this part of the palace is where there are located the personal quarters and guests rooms" Pandora said leading Danny to one black door, decorated with silver engravings.

"And this is your room" Pandora said after opening the door.

The room had black walls and ceiling decorated with glowing white stars and constellations, the floor had white and dark blue tiles that made square patterns. There was a bed queen sized, with black covers and white pillows, beside the bed there was a desk made of dark brown wood with a comfortable looking chair, near the desk there was a library made of the same wood, filled with books about space, sciences, common languages of ghosts and the history of the Ghost Zone. At the other side of the bed there was a window that leaded to a balcony, from there one could see the beautiful garden filled with exotic plants and the grey walls of the maze that served as one of the protections for the Pandora's box.

"Wow! This is for me?" Danny asked, his eyes wide with awe.

"Yes child, after all, what kind of mother would I be if my son didn't have a place to stay?" Pandora said, glad that Danny was happy.

"Thanks Pandora, this is amazing!" Danny said smiling and looking around his new room.

"You're welcome Danny, and if you stay one day and need anything from me, my room is next to yours" Pandora said pointing to where her door was.

"I didn't know ghost needed to sleep" Danny said with curiosity.

"We don't, but we enjoy to do it, the same is with the food" Pandora explained.

"Hmm... that makes sense. Anyway, this is a great surprise, thank you Pandora" Danny said smiling and renewing his exploration, amazed by the stars painted in the ceiling.

"You know, this is only part of the surprise" Pandora said after a few minutes, letting Danny see all of his quarters.

"There is more?" Danny asked tilting his head a little to one side, looking cute in Pandora's opinion.

"Yes, the other part is that I'm going to teach you how to better defend yourself and others, and you'll learn to write and speak Greek" Pandora said.

"Okay that sounds great, but why do I have to learn Greek?" Danny asked. He knew that Pandora is a good and experienced warrior, but he didn't understand what utility learning another language could have.

"Because here in Athens everybody speaks Greek, but not all speak English, it's going to be more easy to communicate with the citizens and with other ghosts that speak it" Pandora explained.

"Hmm... yea that makes sense, but when are you going to teach me all of that?" Danny asked, he didn't think that he could come here every day after school and with his ghost hunting his free time was severely reduced.

"That's a good question, we could talk about it later, though would you like to know the city? I think that the only places you know are the temple, the palace and the gardens" Pandora said.

"Yes! Let's go!" Danny exclaimed, flying out of his room to the hallway, just to come back to Pandora, "he he umm... where are we going first?" he asked, rubbing the back of his neck.

"Come, follow me" Pandora said with an amused smile.

They went outside the palace and into the Acropolis, Pandora explained to Danny that the Acropolis was a fortress located in the center of the city and where all the economic-politic buildings and temples where, the exception being the entrance temple, she told him that the reason for this was because if someone wanted to attack Athens they would had to break the door of that temple first, making a big ruckus that would serve of warning to the citizens so they could come to the Acropolis and remain safe, it also give time to her and her soldiers to prepare and defend the city.

"Wait, if the doors are normally closed, why did they opened when I came today? I didn't even knock!" Danny asked curiously.

"That's because when I adopted you, you became part of the royalty of Athens, in other words this is your liar now" Pandora explained.

"This is my liar?! Awesome! I never had one, that's why you're showing me around?" Danny asked excited for having a place to belong in the Zone.

"Yes child" Pandora said smiling amused for Danny's excitement.

Then they visited the temple of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. The temple was made of white marble and the engraving and decorations were of bronze. Danny asked Pandora if Athena was real like she is, she told him that she is but sometimes they are Thoth the god of wisdom from the ancient Egypt. Danny was curious as to why the goddess changed to a god, Pandora explained that because ghosts were made of ecto-plasma they could change their shape at will and that includes the gender.

After they left the temple they visited briefly the economic-politic buildings, also made of marble but not as decorated as the temple. There were a lot of ghosts talking and working, all speaking Greek, making Danny bored very fast because he didn't understand what they were talking about and there wasn't much to see.

Pandora, after seeing how bored Danny was, suggested to go to the Agora, making him agreed immediately. In the way there Pandora explained that the Agora was the place where the market and the plaza were located. Coming to the market they started to look into the different stores.

The first store they entered was one dedicated to sell weapons, there was a grand variety of them going from swords, spears, knives, bows, gunshots to shields and armors. Some of them looked normal but others were so extravagant that Danny thought only existed in videogames, this were flaming swords, glowing knives, bows that shoot energy arrows and others. Danny wanted one of them, but Pandora told him that first he would have to learn how to use the normal ones.

Later they went to the ceramic store, there were jars of any size and utility with various decorations. Some jars could hold more that was physically possible and others could contain extremely hot materials, from lava to melted metals.

The next store they visited was where all kind of food was sold. Here Danny remembered the weird looking fruit he saw and asked Pandora about them, she started to name them but, at seeing the look of confusion Danny was giving her, she told him to point all the food he didn't know, he did and she brought all of them.

~ Time skip ~

"If we are doing my schedule, you have to know I can't come in school hours, and that I'm the protector of Amity Park and can't leave it for too much time" Danny said while eating a weird purple banana, he was testing all the food Pandora brought for him. They had returned to the palace after their walk in the market and now they were in the garden, sitting in the same place when Pandora adopted him.

"Hmm... that's true, but we aren't in a rush so you don't need to come every day, maybe some days in the week and others in the weekend" Pandora said.

"Well I can always come the Fridays and Saturdays nights, I don't have school the day after" Danny said finishing the purple banana and grabbing a pale green fruit with darker green points in it.

"And what weekdays at night you could come here?" Pandora asked.

"Hmm... I think I could come the Tuesday and Wednesday nights, I'm doing well in the subjects of the days after" Danny said, finishing the pale green fruit.

"Alright, we agree with the days you will come here. What do you say if I teach you how to fight with weapons in the weekends and Greek in the weekdays? That way you could rest from your exercise and don't worry for school" Pandora asked.

"Yeah that sound fair, though I'll worry about leaving Amity Park unprotected that many nights, Sam and Tucker helped me in the weekends nights but I don't want to burden them in the school nights" Danny said worried about his city and eating a blue strawberry.

"I can put some of my warriors to defend your portal from this side" Pandora said.

"That would be amazing!" Danny exclaimed finishing the blue strawberry.

"I'm glad you're happy, did you enjoy your food?" Pandora asked after seeing that Danny had ate all the ghost fruit she brought him.

"Yes, I had never tasted something like this before" Danny said happily.

"Well I'll make sure to have some when you come again" Pandora said smiling at her son happiness.

They continued talking, Danny about what he was taught in school, he complained about the bullies and how the teachers didn't do much to stop it, which worried Pandora; he talked of how the ghosts, that came out of the Ghost Zone to cause havoc, always interrupted him when he was doing homework or sleeping and how that made school more difficult. Pandora talked of how she ruled Athens and some politics behind that, she told him of what weaponry she was going to teach him to handle, and that includes all of the weapons in her study room.

Time came for Danny to return to his home, he said his farewell, hugged Pandora and flew to the Living Zone. Once in his house, Danny went directly to his bed; he was tired but excited about all the things Pandora will teach him, he also couldn't wait to tell Sam and Tucker about Athens and his new place in the Zone. With all of that in mind he fell in a dreamless sleep.
