Danny rang Sam and Tucker as soon as the car turned the corner.
"Hello?" came a voice that sounded weak.
"Sam, it's me, Danny. Are you okay? You sound, sick." Danny sounded worried.
"Yeah, I guess. It's probably because I am sick." Sam informed him.
"Oh, so you probably can't come over today, brats gone!" cried Danny.
"What a relief! But no, sorry I'm too sick." Sighed Sam.
"Well, you get better then, bye." Danny hung up and dialled tuckers number.
Danny was kind of upset that Sam couldn't come but he wasn't too upset. He wanted what was best for her.
"Hello?" Tucker answered dafter two rings.
"Hey tuck, you busy today?" asked Danny.
"Nope, want to do something?" asked Tucker.
"Sure, meet me at my place in ten minutes." Danny sighed and hung up his phone.
At least one of his friends were able to make it. Tucker made it to Danny's place exactly ten minutes later. They went down to the park where there were a few parents playing with their children. Suddenly Danny's ghost sense went off and people started screaming. Danny looked to see which ghost it was. Oh, this is going to be easy, it is only the box ghost! Danny ran off behind a bush and looked around. Good, no one was there.
"Going ghost!" he yelled.
Suddenly the rings appeared and Danny turned into his ghost self. He felt a bit different and looked around.
"WHAT?" screamed Danny.
To the left of him were two exact copies of himself and to the right were three copies of himself, except in his human form. Tucker heard Danny yell and ran behind the bush.
"Man, this is screwed." Tucker hit himself in the head, making sure he wasn't seeing things.
"You see them too?" asked Danny.
"Dude, who can't see them?" asked Tucker. "Luckily no one is there anymore."
"Yeah, this will have to do for now." Sighed Danny.
He flew off and sucked the Box Ghost into his Thermos and landed beside Tucker. He changed into his human form and they were gone.
"At least they don't follow me around while I'm human." Sighed Danny, making sure the lid was on the Fenton Thermos.
"Yeah." Laughed Tucker.
Tucker was laughing quite hard now. Danny looked at him and looked really annoyed.
"Not the right time eh?" asked Tucker.
"Not the right time tuck." Answered Danny.
"Well, do you want to contact Sam and tell her or tell Jazz?" asked Tucker.
"Sam's sick so I think Jazz is the way to go." Sighed Danny.
Danny didn't fly them home because of what happened recently when he went ghost so they decided to walk. Luckily the park wasn't that far away from Danny's house. He was sure Jazz would still be home because she was extremely tired because frank was having nightmares last night. Danny walked inside with Tucker to see Jazz sitting on the couch reading another one of her books.
"Can I talk tot you for a minute?" asked Danny, pulling Jazz into his room.
"Danny, what are you doing?" she asked as Danny shut the bedroom door. "I don't have time for this."
"Jazz, you need to help Danny. Something went terribly wrong and it might end up in Danny's secret being revealed." Explained Tucker.
"What happened Dan?" asked Jazz.
"Please don't call me Dan. My names Danny." Danny snapped.
"Sorry, now what's wrong?" asked Jazz.
"Well, my ghost sense went off at the park and I went behind the bush to transform. I transformed and looked around and noticed…" Danny started to explain.
"OH MY GOSH! Someone caught you transforming! This IS terrible!" screamed Jazz.
"No, you didn't let me finish. I don't think you will understand me so I will show you." Danny muttered.
Danny walked back two steps and transformed. Next to him were two other Danny Phantoms and three Danny Fenton's. Exactly like it was at the park.
"Whoa! This is what you were talking about. Wow, that's cool. But someone could find out." Jazz started to panic.
"That's what I was trying to tell you. It is cool, kinda." Sighed Danny.
"Man, maybe you need to kill them." Tucker guessed.
"Nah, we better not risk it. Danny, I am going to pinch one of the fake Danny Phantoms and you are going to tell me if it hurts, ok?" Jazz instructed.
"Alright then." Sighed Danny. "Ouch, that hurt!"
All of the Danny's looked at their arms and saw a red mark.
"We all have red marks." They said.
Jazz started to think. She didn't know what was happening to her brother.
"I'm going to look this up. For now, don't go ghost. Call me, Tucker or whoever you can and we will fight the ghost for you." Jazz told him.
"Ok then. I'm fine with having a bit of a holiday. So, you up for a movie?" Danny asked Tucker.
"You bet cha!" yelled Tucker.
It was Monday morning and thanks to Tucker and Jazz, Danny's secret wasn't known by anyone who shouldn't know. Danny didn't go ghost at all over the weekend and wasn't sure if the copies of himself were still there. Jazz hadn't found anything out about them and Sam was still a bit sick on Sunday.
"Danny, you need to go ghost for me, I want to see if they are still there." Jazz woke him.
"What? Who? Its morning Jazz, I wanted to sleep. But, fine." Danny gave into her and sat up.
Danny stretched and yawned and then remembered what he was meant to be doing. When he went ghost, the copies were STILL next to him.
"Wannabes." He said to them.
Jazz laughed at this. She wasn't sure if he remembered too much because he had only woken up. Otherwise he was cranky because he had only just woken up. Either way, Danny wasn't too happy.
"Well, change back to human and get ready for school. And just, watch out, ok?" Jazz left the room.
Danny was ready about twenty minutes before he usually met Tucker and Sam at his doorstep so he decided to ring Sam to see if she was feeling better. He really wanted to see her and tell her all about his problem. He hadn't had a chance to talk to her on Sunday because her mother said she was asleep. He dialled her number and held the phone to his ear.
"Hello?" Sam's voice was back to normal.
"Hey Sam, it's me Danny. Listen, are you coming to school today?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I'm coming." She moaned.
"Well, I need to tell you and show you something, it's kind of odd." He informed her.
"I need to tell you something too." She giggled.
"Well, I better be going, see you in about fifteen minutes?" he asked.
"Yep, I will see you in fifteen minutes. Bye!" she hung up and Danny sunk on the couch.
Why can't I stop thinking about Sam? And what is she going to tell me? I seriously do not get what is going on. First the red skin and now the duplicates. I think I'm going through ghost puberty! Danny sighed and started watching the television. Oh great, just in time for Freak T.V. I should be on there, I'm a freak. I hate calling myself a freak, but it is true.
The doorbell suddenly rang and Danny went to get it.
"Hey Tucker, hey Sam." He greeted.
"Hey Danny." They said together.
They started to walk to school when Danny's ghost sense went off. Uh oh.
