To those who keep on reviewing my chapters I say thank you and for helping me be a better writer.
So without further delay, Here's the next chapter.
Danny has seen and dealt with a lot of things in the past: bullying, becoming half ghost, protecting Amity park from ghost attacks, being hunted, altering reality, changing time, and saving the world from certain doom. Yet, there was nothing he could do when Amanda placed her warm lips on his face. He just froze completely with a pink tinge across his face, eyes wide open.
At the moment her soft lips touched his face; you know how people say that their hearts skipped a beat. Well when your part ghost it actually happens and it's a scary feeling for Danny when it does. It took the door closing for him to come back from his almost comatose state, his heart now beating twice as fast.
Danny put a hand to his cheek, he could still feel her soft lips on it and their warmth.
"So soft." Danny thought as he walked away from the bathroom door.
When Amanda heard Danny's footsteps walk away, she slide down the bathroom door with her face all flush and her hand on her lips.
"Oh my gosh, why did I kiss Danny. I mean he was my worst enemy and now here I am kissing him on the cheek like some teenage schoolgirl. What is wrong with me?!" Amanda said.
Amanda stood up and saw herself in the bathroom mirror.
"Wait, I'm not Ember McLain anymore. I have no reason to hate him anymore, he's done nothing but help me out, and he didn't turn me away, even after all that I have done in the past. It may not mean much coming from me now, but I need to apologize." Amanda said her hand reaching for the doorknob.
However before her hands even touched the doorknob, she looked at herself again in the mirror, her eyes went wide at the state her clothes were in. All tattered and filthy. Giving herself a quick sniff she found out that she didn't exactly smell like roses.
"Maybe after a quick shower, I'll apologize to Danny." Amanda thought.
Amanda walked towards the shower and dainty turned on the showerhead, feeling the rushing waters for the perfect temperature. After a bit of trial and error, she found the perfect temperature for herself. It wasn't boiling hot or ice cold. It was like a warm summer shower during the middle of the day, refreshing to the touch. She found the shampoo and soaps that Danny said were underneath the sink cabinets and an unused exfoliator, along with it's matching back brush. Then the towels, they may be pink but they were clean and very fluffy. She grabbed two; one for her hair, the other for her body.
She became nervous as she began to strip out of her clothes. Ghosts can freely change their clothing if they so wish, but it wasn't a complete change. It took energy to maintain the change so at night most ghosts release that energy and the clothes they made turned back into the original clothes. The only exception is that ghosts who have grown more powerful can do it at will. A good example would be Technus the so-called master of technology that can't even get basic cable TV to work in the ghost zone.
The clothes that she originally wore were now changed, lost forever. They became like a second skin to her and it now felt strange to remove them. She was careful as to not ruin them any more than they already were. Once she was down to her underwear and bra, she looked herself in the mirror with her old clothes in hand. Her injuries from the night before were gone and her skin as flawless like pure water.
"Goodbye Ember McLain," Amanda said as she placed her old clothes carefully on the bathroom counter. Her hands reached towards the hair tie and untied it. Letting her long dark locks flow.
Amanda then stripped out of her underwear, unclipped her bra, and walked into the shower. The warm water slowly calming her down and for the first time in ages, she felt at peace. She started to hum to the tune of her song, Remember.
(Back to Danny now in his room, nervously picking out some new clothes out of his closet.)
"Get a grip Fenton, it's not like you haven't been kissed by a girl before. Just not someone as beautiful as Amanda. What am I thinking, we used to be enemies for crying out loud, it's not like I can say: "Amanda I really like you, would you go out with me." She'd probably laugh in my face and I'd be back where I was before, alone." Danny thought with a frown on his face.
Danny's wardrobe has changed over the years, he only wore those baggy clothes as to not raise suspicion about his ghost training in the past. Now he had more of a selection for every occasion, from a formal gathering to a nice walk in the park. Don't get him wrong, he still loved his classic style. Just now that his body has changed dramatically, his old clothes are now skin tight and that made the Phans go crazy.
Seeing as he had a very beautiful guest in his house, the whole not wearing a shirt couldn't work out. So he grabbed out one of his designer short sleeve, white V-neck T's with the Danny Phantom Logo covering most of the shirt at an angle. The logo was all black of course. Along with the shirt he grabbed a pair of faded denim blue jeans.
"These will work," Danny said as closed his closet.
Walking over to his small, dark blue dresser, he pulled out a pair of white socks and grey boxers. He got rid of the red polka dot ones after that little incident with Vortex and the media years ago. Closing the dresser, he walked back towards his bed and sat down. He looked over on his nightstand to see that his cellphone had a new message on it from Tucker, late last night.
Hey dude, I know this late and all, but what about you come by my office tomorrow at Lunch. If you don't get pulled over by your screaming Phans LOL. I also wanna catch up, it feels like we haven't hung out in years.
Danny looked over the message, Tucker was right. It has been a long time since he and Tucker had hung out. With him patrolling the city and Tucker's responsibility to Amity Park as Mayor. There was a problem, he couldn't leave Amanda right now. It wouldn't be right to her. Who knows who or what could attack her if he wasn't there.
"Maybe Tucker will take a rain check," Danny said as he was about to reply back to Tucker.
Danny struggled to type out his message to Tucker. As hard as he tried, he couldn't force himself to type out:" I can't sorry, busy." This would be the only time that he and Tucker could hang out before re-elections came up next month and tucker would be swamped. Then an idea came to mind.
"Why not I bring her with me, I'm sure Tucker won't mind and he might be able to help." Danny thought.
Danny put his phone back on the nightstand, then proceeded over to his bedroom door and out to the half-lit hallway. Pictures of the family and his friends on the walls from the years. When he passed the upstairs bathroom, he caught ear of Amanda's voice over the rushing water of the shower. Curiosity got the better of him as he placed an ear up to the door, to hear a familiar tune from the other side.
"She could make angels weep," Danny said.
After a while, Danny stopped listening and proceeded slowly down the hall to the flight of stairs. The sound of Amanda's voice playing over and over in his head like a song on replay. Eventually, he caught himself humming the tune all the way down the stairs and to the downstairs bathroom door.
Danny opened the door to reveal a mid-tone gray tiled bathroom and white laminate tile flooring. The difference between the upstairs bathroom and the downstairs was the jacuzzi spa tub separate from the shower. His father loved his weekend baths and with that large grant that the Fenton's got from the government, Danny's father put some of it towards a renovated bathroom just for Danny and himself since the girls took over the upstairs bathroom ages ago. So that bathtub was just one of the many additions that he and Danny made to the unused guest bathroom.
The cabinets were a nice dark stain wood veneer with dark marble counter and sinks. The shower was much like the upstairs except it had one-way glass from the inside, meaning that no one could sneak a peek at Danny if they somehow got through the Fenton Security System or F.S.S for short.
Stripping out of his day-old clothes, Danny briskly walked into the shower and turned on the water to the coldest he could get. He did this for two reasons, one to wake up, the another to extinguish the blush on his face and the blood that ran south. His body could handle the cold better than warm anyway with his ice core training.
Once the cold water hit his skin, he let out a little yelp from the sheer coldness of the water and his body adjusted.
"Oh man, that helped!" Danny said.
Danny grabbed his body wash and shampoo he had in the shower and quickly lathered up and washed his hair. After rinsing off and turning off the water. He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a nearby cerulean blue towel around his waist. Walking up to the wall-mounted mirror, he got a good look at himself and marveled at the change to his body over the years.
After a while of flexing like an idiot at himself at his physique. Laughing at himself, he quickly went intangible while leaving his hands solid on the towel. All the water fell off and down the storm drain and he was instantly dry. Whatever was left he used the towel to finish off.
Once he was good and dry, he put on some antiperspirant deodorant and got dressed almost instantly. Ruffling his hair to his normal style he gathered his clothes and put them in the hamper for tomorrow. His stomach then growled from hunger.
"Alright, now for some breakfast," Danny said as he made his way towards the kitchen.
Meanwhile, in the upstairs bathroom, Amanda was just about finished with her shower, giving her hair another good wash and rinse before she was done. Turning off the water and grabbing one of the towels she left out, she wrapped herself with it and the other into a makeshift turban for her long hair.
The steam coming from the shower was little, but enough to fog up the mirror. Using her hand she wiped away some of the steam to reveal the new Amanda McLain. She didn't recognize herself without the makeup.
"Whoa!" Amanda said checking herself out in the mirror.
After gazing at herself for a bit, she decided it was about time to get dried off and dressed. Using the nearby hair dryer, she brushed and dried her hair till it flowed like water and soft to the touch. Opening up a pack of hair ties, she put her hair into her signature ponytail since her hair was too long to let it down.
"I guess after having flaming hair that stood up by itself my real hair would be longer." Amanda thought as she saw her hair fall down, reaching the middle of her back.
Amanda eventually got dressed, however, Danny's sister's clothes were a bit snug in some areas of her chest and rear. They really showed off her gorgeous body, highlighting all of her natural curves and form. Amanda looked at herself in the mirror to in awe at herself. After a few minutes of staring she smelled something good coming from downstairs, her stomach rumbled.
"Wonder what Danny's making, smells great." Amanda thought as she made it towards the bathroom door before she opened it she looked back and she could have sworn she saw her old ghost rocker self wearing her old clothes staring back at her with a smirk on her face. Rubbing her eyes, she was gone.
"Okay, that was weird," Amanda said as she walked out the door, following the smell of food downstairs, and into the kitchen where she saw Danny cooking on the stovetop.
Danny heard Amanda's footsteps and turned around to see Amanda, glowing with an angelic aura. Each of her steps was like those slow-motion glamour shots of supermodels on the runway. He didn't dare blink, not wanting to miss a single breathtaking second of Amanda's beauty.
Amanda walked up to Danny who was still in his own little fantasy world. She tried getting his attention by waving a hand in front of his face, but sadly it didn't work. Then she tried poking him, he didn't flinch or react. Then an idea came to mind. Focusing her ecto-energy she transformed into her new ghost half, which did the trick as Danny's ghost sense went off and he startled awake.
"Huh, what!" Danny exclaimed, shook his head, and got into a fighting stance.
"Glad to have you back Baby-pop," Amanda said turning back into her human form, a bit dizzy from the transformation.
"Amanda." Danny cleared his throat trying to regain his cool.
"The one and only, so what 'cha making?" Amanda asked, looking over at the array of food that he was preparing.
"Well, I thought that since your going to need your strength back and your now human again, I think a nice breakfast was the way to go. So I have some bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns, and blueberry muffins going." Danny said.
"Since when do you know how to cook?" Amanda asked.
"When growing up with parents who can make hot-dogs come to life, you tend to be a quick learner," Danny said.
"There's no way that happened," Amanda said.
"Oh it did, you can ask my sister," Danny said turning around stirring his eggs and flipping over his bacon and hash browns.
"Can I help with anything, I was pretty good cook myself," Amanda said.
Danny thought about it for a minute than an idea came to mind.
"Well, I'm having trouble deciding on something else to go with this big meal. You have an idea of what can go with this?" Danny asked.
Amanda thought about it, then a memory of her old life came back to her.
Flashback-Amanda's POV
"Good morning sweetie, I made your favorite. Chocolate Chip Pancakes with extra chocolate." Mom said with a smile handing me my plate.
"Thanks, Mom," I said.
"You'd better hurry, you're going to be late," Dad said swiping one of my pancakes with his fork.
"Dad!" Amanda said.
"What, you didn't think your the only one who loves these. Why these pancakes are what brought me and your mother together. Ain't that right hun?" Dad said.
"That and a couple of other things." Mom said handing Dad a cup of coffee.
Dad looked at his watch and stood up. Grabbing his cup.
"I got to get down to the office, they want us to make sure that nothing happens to this new invention that some inventor is bringing in. The guy may be a brilliant technician if he wasn't such a loon." Dad said putting on his security jacket.
"What's the guy's name?" I asked.
"Nicolai Tech-something, oh well. I'm just get paid to protect stuff, not worry about names." Dad said.
"Well, you have a good day and drive safe." Mom said.
"You know I will," Dad said.
Mom and dad shared a quick kiss as Dad walked out the door, not before running back to my plate and snatching another pancake.
"DAD!" I exclaimed as Mom started laughing.
Flashback End
Amanda giggled quietly at her memory. Then it hit her.
"Chocolate Chip Pancakes," Amanda said quietly with a smile on her face.
Danny tilted his head in confusion, not catching a word that Amanda said.
"What was that?" Danny asked.
"Chocolate Chip Pancakes, you asked for something else to make along with breakfast. So why not chocolate chip pancakes. My mom used to make them for me for breakfast, so can we have them please Danny." Amanda asked.
Danny smiled, Amanda was starting to remember the good about her life and that put a smile on his face. He was also kind of surprised, even though his Mom could burn water. Her pancakes were somehow always the best, he hasn't made chocolate chip ones before but he was willing to try. He has made pancakes before, but he didn't know how to make chocolate chip ones.
"Sure but I do have one small problem," Danny said.
"What?" Amanda asked.
"Well, it's just that. I can cook, but I've never in my life made chocolate chip pancakes. My mom, now she can make pancakes." Danny said.
"So you can cook all this, but can't make something as simple as pancakes. I guess even the great Hero of the ghost zone can't do everything. Don't worry Baby-pop, I can show you." Amanda said standing up and walking towards the fridge.
Danny was amazed at how quickly Amanda prepped everything from the ingredients to the pan like it was second nature. Of course, she had to ask where everything was and had him get some of the items she couldn't reach. Once they were done, they had out the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, vanilla extract, eggs, milk, and most important ingredient of all, the dark chocolate chips all ready to go. She told him exactly how much of each ingredient to use and how to do it with perfect accuracy. In minutes they had perfect pancake batter all ready to go and a hot pan to work with.
"Alright now for the fun part, cooking them," Amanda said.
"Show me," Danny said.
For the next five minutes, Amanda showed Danny how to make the perfect pancake. Of course, there were a few mishaps along the way, but Danny eventually made six perfect pancakes he and Amanda would be proud of. Fluffy and that nice golden brown, the chocolate chip aroma filled the kitchen with their sweet scent, mixed with the mouth-watering smell of delicious food Danny had been making earlier.
A couple of minutes later, Danny had plated everything else and set it on the table with Amanda's help. The blueberry muffins came out if the oven all hot fluffy. Placing them to cool, he headed to the fridge and pulled out a carton of Orange Juice. Setting it on the table, he walked over back the cabinet to grab a couple of glass mugs, one dark blue and the other a cream-colored. Putting the glasses down he poured himself and Amanda some orange juice.
Looking over his spread, he thinks he's forgetting something. All the food was there, the plates, silverware, and cups. Yet something was missing, then it clicked. What good were pancakes without maple syrup? So he quickly walked to the pantry and pulled out the small bottle of Mrs. Butterworth's he had left, just about three-quarters full.
"Here we are, now we can eat," Danny said with a smile.
"Tell him!" Amanda thought.
"Actually Danny there's something else," Amanda said with a nervous look on her face.
"What, we have everything. Unless your not a fan of the orange juice. I can make a fresh pot of coffee if you like." Danny said.
"It's not that, Danny. I'm- I'm sorry." Amanda said.
"Sorry, for what?" Danny asked.
"For everything, our fights, trying to take over the world twice, and for all the times I put your friends and family in danger. I'm sorry Danny." Amanda finished looking down at the ground.
Danny looked at Amanda and was surprised, she was actually apologizing to him. Something he never thought he'd hear and she actually meant it. Hearing her sincerity and asking for redemption made him smile. She was actually wanting to change and this apology was the perfect way to bury the old ghostly hatchet. He walked up to Amanda and placed on of his hands on her shoulder and the other cupped her chin so that she faced him.
"I forgive you, I can tell that you're meaning every word. Amanda, you may have done some not so nice things in the past as Ember McLain, but that doesn't make you a bad person. Sure you wanted to make the world love your music, but that's every singer's goal. You may have used some mind control to do it, but even after people still love your music. I'm no exception." Danny said.
"Really, you like my music?" Amanda asked.
"Of course, you can't hate a good song just because of who wrote it. Well, except if that person was found guilty of stealing the song from another band." Danny said taking his hand away from both her face and shoulder.
"Yeah, no one like their songs taken. That's why I write my own." Amanda said smiling.
"Good, now let's forget the past and start over," Danny said as he cleared his throat.
"Hi my name is Daniel James Fenton, but everyone calls me Danny. I'm eighteen years old, oh I'm also the world wide superhero Danny Phantom, but that's a big secret and you can't tell anyone. Who are you?" Danny asked playfully.
Amanda giggled at Danny's little scene, he really wanted to start over. So she decided to play along and reintroduce herself.
"Hi Danny, my name is Amanda Emberline McLain, but you can just call me Amanda, I'm also eighteen years old. Wow, you're really you're a superhero, that's cool. Don't worry I can keep a secret." Amanda said a straight face.
The two started busting up laughing at their little scene they put on. Amanda was holding her sides like they were going to split and Danny was keeled over laughing. Once they finally go that out of their systems, Danny approached Amanda and gave her a warm hug.
"I'm glad to meet you, Amanda McLain," Danny said.
Amanda returned his hug with one of her own.
"Same here, Danny Fenton," Amanda said.
The two stayed like this for only a brief moment before Danny's stomach rumbled. So he gently let Amanda go and with a slight blush on his face.
"Hey let's not waste all this good food, let's eat. Then we can start your ghost training." Danny said.
"Alright and Danny?" Amanda said.
"Yeah?" Danny asked.
"Thank you," Amanda said.
"You're welcome," Danny said.
Danny being the gentleman he was, he walked Amanda to her chair and pulled it out for her. Once she sat down Danny pushed her in a bit before going over to his chair and sitting down. Once he was sitting down they began to make their plates by grabbing a little bit of everything off the table. Danny took his first bite into the chocolate chip pancakes, oh they melted in his mouth before he could even begin to chew.
After a few minutes of eating and light conversation, being awkward as it was. Danny began gathering the dishes and whatever was leftover, mainly the muffins and some of the eggs and bacon. Amanda wanted to help so she took over the job of washing the dishes except for the cast iron skillet. Doing the dishes was easy thanks to the Fenton Dishwasher. Danny said it would clean everything from dried-on food to ectoplasm. A little joke from his parents when they built it since day old fudge doesn't want to come off by normal means. She managed to figure out how to use it with little help from Danny.
After they were done, Danny wiped off the stove-top, cleaned and seasoned the cast iron pan, and lastly dried his hands at a job well done. It was just like he and Amanda were a newlywed couple in their first house, celebrating their first real day of living together. Danny shook at the thought with a mild tinge of red on his cheeks, however, Amanda was thinking the same thing. Looking at the clock, it read 8:23 am, so they had a couple of hours to do some training before Danny wanted to meet with Tucker for lunch with Amanda. If she wanted to go that is.
"Hey, why don't we head down to the lab to start your training and see what you can do," Danny said.
"Alright, let's go baby-pop," Amanda said as he grabbed Danny's hand and led him downstairs to the lab. If there's one thing she knows, is where the ghost portal is at.
Almost racing downstairs Amanda stopped and looked at the almost empty room.
"Uh, Danny where's the Lab?" Amanda asked.
"Oh yeah, that. V.A.I, lab and training room please." Danny said out loud.
"Good Morning Danny Fenton, Lab and Training room voice command accepted." A woman's voice said.
The whole room began to shift ever so slightly as lab equipment appeared from the walls and floor. A training room opened up on the far wall.
"What the heck?!" Amanda asked a little bit shocked.
"Oh sorry, I forgot. Amanda meet VAI, she's the operating system for the whole lab. VAI scan and recognize Amanda as a user." Danny said.
"Right away Danny. Scan complete. Nice to meet you, Amanda, I am VAI." VAI said.
"Uh, Danny who is VAI and where is she?" Amanda asked.
"I am a Virtual Artificial Intelligence designed to assist and aid Danny Fenton and the Fenton Family. As Danny mentioned, I am the operating system of this laboratory and the Fenton Security System. Please call me VAI for short." VAI said.
"Okay then, VAI. Nice to meet you too. Uh, Danny isn't kind of weird to be talking to a room." Amanda asked.
"Oh, yeah a bit. But she's proven to be a great friend over the years and kept out the Phans." Danny said.
"Thank you, Danny. I'm glad to be of service to you, will there be anything else you require." VAI said.
"Yes, can you record our training on the Phantom Files. I want to start a new file, call it Amanda Phantom." Danny said.
"Amanda Phantom, I like it." Amanda thought.
"Right away. File created: Amanda Phantom. Starting recording." VAI said.
"Why are you recording this?" Amanda asked.
"That way we can catalog what powers you have and powers that are unique to you. VAI can even track your progress stats with her sensors all over the lab." Danny said.
"Alright, when do we start," Amanda said.
"We can start by you transforming into your ghost half and back again a couple of times. Let your body get used to the feeling and make it easier for you to control your powers. You wouldn't believe how often it happened when I was first starting out when I turned back into my human form during a battle. After a while, you're used to that energy you can use your ecto-based attacks in human form." Danny said transforming into Danny Phantom.
This was the first time she's seen Danny's new costume, it was a major upgrade from the old Jumpsuit that he wore years ago. What Danny did next was duplicate himself into eight separate ghosts. All identical to the original, gadgets and all. A quick nod from each other, the ghost copies all went intangible and flew off in different directions. She was confused on why he made eight copies just to have them leave.
"Danny, what was that all about?" Amanda asked.
Danny's face faulted a bit, but still had somewhat a smile on his ghostly face. He didn't think to talk about it would get any easier, but maybe talking about it to someone he knew besides his family and friends would be just the thing he needs, an opinion wouldn't hurt. Taking a calming breath and relaxing somewhat, he finally began to speak.
"Alright, there's someone I've been looking for the past two years," Danny said.
"Who?" Amanda asked, nervous about his answer. For all, she knew it could've been his little goth girlfriend, which wasn't something she'd like to think about.
"My daughter," Danny said.
"He had a kid with the goth chick at 16!" Amanda thought with eyes wide.
Danny saw her expression and believed an explanation was due.
"Before you go assuming I got a girl pregnant when I was still in high school, that's wrong. She isn't exactly a natural-born child, she's my clone." Danny said hating himself for using that word.
"A clone?" Amanda asked feeling relieved.
"Yeah, you see about two years ago Plasmius wanted to create a perfect copy of me to be his " son" and he got three imperfect clones and one unstable 12-year-old girl version of me, half-ghost, ghost powers and all. He had manipulated her with the thought of him wanting to save her to the point of betraying me and kidnapping me. She wasn't mindless like the others, she was her own person and I gave her the choice of either helping me or being a mindless slave to him only to be betrayed in the end." Danny said.
"So I guess she chooses you over him," Amanda said.
"Yeah, once she realized I was right about him being a major fruit loop she helped me take him down and his copy of me melted like with the other clones. She even rebelled and told him that he wasn't the boss of her, I was so proud." Danny said with a smile remembering that day.
"What is her name?" Amanda asked.
"Danielle, but she prefers Dani, that's Danny with an I. Anyway, a friend of mine called Valerie and I helped stabilize her afterward with my dads flawed Fenton Ecto-Dejecto and she went off to see the world, the only other time I saw her as during the Diasteroid. Just thinking about her not being here makes me worry. That's why I sent those copies away in all different directions. I usually send a few away once a week to search for her and I hope one day, I'll find her and bring her home." Danny said taking a knee, exhausted after that massive use of Ecto-Energy making him weaker and he turned back into his human form.
Amanda was a bit worried and wanted to help Danny back up, but once she saw him get up a second later. She knew he was stronger.
"Does she know you think of her like this, as a Dad?" Amanda asked.
"No and that's the bad thing, I don't know what will happen if I do. She could hate my guts for all I know." Danny said.
"Danny, you won't know unless you tell her, I mean she could actually feel the same way you do and want you to be there for her don't you?" Amanda asked.
"Of course I do, but what if…" Danny was stopped when Amanda placed a finger up to his lips.
"No what-ifs, you've been dedicating yourself to saving this town of yours for years now. I think you're allowed to want the chance to be a good father to a little girl who needs you. So no more thinking like that alright." Amanda said as she removed her finger from his lips.
"Alright," Danny said as he smiled at Amanda.
"Good, now let's start my training already," Amanda said transforming into her ghost half Amanda Phantom.
