Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I am just a dedicated fan.
DarkDragonQueen: I started watching Danny Phantom until about three months ago and I didn't really watch it. It was my sister and one day it was the only thing on and I completely fell in love with the show. I've been reading the fanfiction for a while and this story kind of came to my mind. I didn't want to write it until I saw a few stories that calmed my nerve. It's an Alternate universe and Sam has never met Danny or Tucker and she's never been to Amity Park until now.
Also no flames, but I do accept constructive criticism. Please bear with me because although I know the basics of grammar, I never did look at the detail. Don't worry my grammar isn't horrible where you can't read it, but it isn't exactly perfect where I could go and become an English teacher.
I know, I'm sorry. I know you're mad at me for not making them a couple as of yet, but I don't really think that two super hero teens would have the time to get through high school, fight ghost and save people from death, find time to hang out with their friends, and then try and toss a relationship into that which is why I put after high school. Think about it, I mean if given the choice, I would fight ghost rather than go to high school. It really is a living hell no matter what status you have.
Next I want to say that I really looked forward to writing this chapter and although you didn't know it, you were too. It explains Aly's last name and her grandmother, Amber McLain... Some of you already guessed and some of you were just confused.
Attention all readers. If you didn't read the first part read this. Nick is canceling Danny Phantom! Are they out of their minds! That's one of the best cartoons they've got and there's so much more that hasn't been revealed. I mean I don't think I've ever been so shocked. GO to this website now, even before you read my next chapter. With no spaces:
www. petitionspot. com
If you go there you'll find more than one petition demanding that nick keeps Danny Phantom. Sign all you can find and wait and hope that nick doesn't cancel the show. I don't think I can survive off of just the fanfics alone. With all our combined effort we can SAVE DANNY PHANTOM!
With that said here is chapter seventeen of this story.

The McLains Part I
By

-.oOOo.-
(TIME OUT: This is important too. I know it seems like I'm escaping the plot, but remember this is only the beginning. I'm just introducing a few knew characters that will play an important role in the future stories. I'm ending the first story of the Black Phoenix, but really this whole story is just an introduction. The real fun begins next chapter. Okay that's it. TIME IN)
Sam sighed as Aly went through her new wardrobe. Aly had told Sam it was time to pick out a new outfit, and Sam was very reluctant to. Aly always said something about Sam using her individuality to help her bring out her individual unique beauty.
"Okay, I know I put that outfit in here, but I can't find it..." Aly said as she searched through the now full to capacity walk in closet of Sam's. Full to capacity because of Aly of course.
"Why can't I just where what I usually where." Sam asked in her bathrobe as Aly raided her closet.
"Because you shocked everyone when you changed your look the first time, now think of what would happen if you change it again. Besides, don't you want a different look for you future boyfriend." Aly asked again
Sam sighed. Aly was never going to let her live that down. "He's not my boy-"
"I said your future boyfriend." Aly corrected before Sam could finish. "Found it!"
Aly came out of the closet and tossed the outfit to Sam, who just stared at it. Aly sighed.
"Sam, I already have to pick out your clothes like you're a little four year old. Don't tell me I have to dress you now,"
Sam glared and went into her bathroom and put on the outfit, then walked out and looked in her full length mirror. The outfit was a straight black knee jean skirt with a split that went up to the middle of her thigh on the left side with fishnet stockings and her black combat boots. She had on a black top that fit at the waist, laced up down the middle front, tugged a bit and had a long sleeve that dropped of her shoulders and began right below them instead. On the top part of it was a text that was right on her breast below the part of her chest that showed and said, 'What are you looking at?'. Over that was a black jean jacket that stopped at the waist with what looked like the sleeve ripped off.
Her accessories were the same as she usually wore, but today she decided to where black lipstick and Aly had curled a lock of hair on with side of her face and let a few loose strands fall from the top. She wore her usual low ponytail, but this time it was tied with black ribbon and tied in a limp bow.
"Are you sure I don't look like a hooker?" Sam asked as she looked at her god- sister
"Trust me, most of the ones I know where mush less than that Sam." Aly replied. "Besides that's how a witch would dress nowadays and you're like a witch, so I thought why not try that look. Now come on let's go. We're already late as it is."
"Silver Moon," Aly yelled. "Me and Sam are leaving now. Se ya' later." she slammed the door behind her.
Aly looked at Sam and then smiled. "You know you with look good with a picture of a black phoenix tattooed on you shoulders?"
"No way Aly," Sam shook her head. "You already tricked me into getting a stud in both ears. No way I'm getting a tattoo."
"But it would not only add to you goth look, but it'll also make a lot of heads turn." Aly kept on and Sam just turned and ignored her.
"Fine then," Aly said turning to face the sidewalk.
-.oOOo.-
"It's crowed today," Sam said as she and Aly made their way past people
"Well it is Friday after school..." Aly replied
"Yeah," Sam replied as they made their way to the food court.
"There they are," Aly said seeing Danny and Tucker sitting at a table through the crowd. Tucker had a triple thick cheese burger in front of him with some chili and french fries. Danny just had a medium french fry in his hand.
"Hey guys," Aly said as they came up to the table
"Hey Aly," Danny and Tucker looked up, "Hey... Sam!"
Tucker's sandwich stopped about an inch from his mouth while his jaw dropped as did Danny's.
"Whoa," was all Danny could manage as he blinked.
"I told you," Aly said as she sat down and pulled Sam down next to her
"Is that a split in that skirt?" Tucker asked finally gaining his ability to speak again
Sam glared. "Pervert..."
"What? I just asked." Tucker defended
"And because you ask to many questions is the reason you can't get girl to go out with you." Sam said dryly
"Now that was just cold Sam," Tucker glared slightly
"Okay, you two not now." Danny spoke rubbing his head. and it was then Sam noticed how tired he looked.
"What's up with you?" she asked trying to sound a bit sympathetic for him but was finding it a bit hard today. Her Phoenix side was a bit restless and wanted to get out.
"Box Ghost, Technus, and Ember's still on the loose." Danny replied
"Speaking of ghost," Aly mentioned. "Did those gashes across your back and chest heal?"
"No," Danny muttered dryly. "I don't know why, normally things like that are healed in a day or so."
"Harpy's claws give out some sort of venom that slows down the healing process." Sam replied staring into space a bit as she remembered back to about a week ago when she found out that Danny was the Ghost Boy she fought along side and knew a bit better than she knew his human half. "It might take months for it to heal... or in your case a few weeks ought to do it."
"Hey, you guys have to come over and see the Phoenix Nest soon." Aly said to Danny and Tucker. "Tucker you'd be like a kid in a candy store if you went in there."
"How would it be any different from Danny's parents' lab?" the boy asked
"You can come and find out, but I will tell you Silver Moon is building some things even more high tech then Sam's motorcycle." Aly answered
"Tsh... You mean what used to be my motorcycle." Sam nodded her head over to Danny. "Ghost Boy here destroyed it,"
"I said I was sorry. It was an accident. It's not like I meant to destroy your motorcycle." Danny defended
"At least Sliver Moon's making you a new one." Aly stated
"For my birthday," Sam stated dryly and then snapped her head up. Her crystal now knew how to sense ghost as well, after being around them enough. Most times it just sent a foggy chill through her.
"Just one Saturday to be a normal teen is all I ask..." Danny muttered as his ghost sense went off
"Since when was you life ever normal?" Aly asked dryly
"Want me to take care of this one?" Sam asked
Danny sighed. "I got it. Be back in a minute,"
As soon as Danny left some commotion could be heard in the music store.
"Ugh, you people call this music... Tsh, you wouldn't know real music if it knocked you in the head and tossed you backwards." said a voice that Tucker knew all too well.
Sam, Aly, and, Tucker got up and ran to the music store unlike most people who were running away from it.
"Who's that?" Sam asked.
"That's Ember. She's a ghost rock star. She actually tried to hypnotize the world with her music." Tucker explained
At that moment Danny came flying through the wall.
"Just once could I come and have a little fun without the dipstick on my case?" Ember asked ready to blast him with a note on her guitar
"With all the havoc you cause with your music, I don't think so." Danny replied and got ready to fire and ecto- blast at the ghost.
"So, I hear you have a new girlfriend. What was her name... Oh yeah, Goth Girl," Ember stated changing the subject
"Her name's Black Phoenix," Danny answered dryly.
"So she is your girlfriend," Ember more so stated than asked
"I never said she was,"
"Never said she wasn't either. So where is she?" Ember asked looking around. "Isn't she always with you?"
"Trust me, Phoenix isn't going to come around unless I'm against something I can't handle alone." Danny stated
"Well then, I guess I'll have to give you more than you can handle." Ember said striking a dangerous chord on her guitar.
Danny moved out of the way of the sound waves and they hit the wall making a big whole in it. Danny shot an ecto- ray at her and set her backwards into a wall. Ember growled playing another note on her guitar and aiming it a Danny. He dodged again and she groaned
"Dammit dipstick, can't you just stay still?" Ember asked sarcastically
"Maybe I would be able to if ghost weren't constantly on my case," Danny replied dryly flying towards Ember and kicking her into the wall next to Aly who had slipped into the music shop to get a closer look at the ghost. There was something about her that seemed so familiar. It was then that she caught the ghost's face and gasped. She looked just like her except for the fact that she was pale.
"Darn halfa," the ghost rock star muttered and then caught sight of Aly who was staring at her. "What are you looking at dip- Whoa." Ember managed before Danny grabbed her and went intangible flying through the wall with her.
"Aly, what have I told you about getting into trouble with paranormal beings?" Sam asked running into the now wrecked music store.
"Don't know, don't care, but I have to get outside and see that ghost." Aly said running to the closest exit in the mall.
"Aly!" Sam shouted and took off after the dark haired teen who was now outside with Tucker sighing and following behind
She found her god- sister outside watching Danny fight Ember, or more so watching Ember fight Danny.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked
"There's something about that ghost," Aly whispered
"What about her?" Sam asked looking towards Ember
"I don't-" Aly gasped as she noticed the Danny had used an ecto- ray at Ember sending her hurling towards Aly.
Ember turned intangible at the last second, but in the process turned Aly intangible with her and pushing her back into the wall of the mall and downwards. They turned tangible again and landed hard on the concrete floor of the basement where there were a lot of boxes with different labels for different stores.
"Ow, that hurt." both Aly and Ember muttered at the same time as they stood up. Ember turned around upon hearing the teen and gasped.
"YOU!" she exclaimed
Aly turned around. "Uh... Hi,"
Ember just stared at the teen in shock. The girl looked exactly like her when she was alive and now, accept she was African- American. Her dark brown hair was longer, she of course had caramel colored skin, and she had slightly bigger hips, but other than that, she could have been her twin. She even had her hazel eyes.
"Who are you?" Ember asked. "And why do you look just like me?"
"I don't look just like you. You have fire blue hair." Aly reminded smartly at the rude tone
Ember growled. "You know what I mean. Why do you look just like me?"
"Beats me... I was going to ask you the same thing." Aly replied. Why did she feel connected to this ghost somehow?
"You still didn't answer my question kid," Ember stated
"You're a kid too. You're no older than sixteen," Aly shot
"I've been dead for over thirty years, so I have the given right to call you that. Anyway, like I was saying, what's your name?" Ember asked a bit annoyed
"It's Aly,"
"Your full name kid,"
Aly gave a glare a being called kid again, but ignored it and answered the question.
"Its Alicia Amber McLain if you must know." she told and Ember's eyes widened
"McLain?"
"Yeah,"
"Alicia Amber McLain?"
"Is there a problem with your hearing?" Aly asked sarcastically
Ember glared about to retort when Danny, Tucker, and a very pissed looking Black Phoenix came through the ceiling.
"This is your fault you know. You could have hit Aly," she was saying
"Well I'm sorry, but maybe she shouldn't have followed. I was a little bit too preoccupied with Ember to notice she was standing there." Danny said dropping Black Phoenix on the ground.
Ember and Aly turned away from each other to look at the super powered teens who looked back at them.
"Hey if you touched one hair on my god- sister I'll- Damn," Black Phoenix cut herself off and did a double take at the ghost and Aly who happened to look just alike.
"They're twins." said Tucker
"Is there a hidden camera somewhere?" Danny asked looking at the two look alikes confused.
"Oh shut up dipstick. It's just a coincidence, but I see your girlfriend finally showed up. Let see how well she can hold out on a ghost." Ember said floating back up into the air and playing another dangerous chord on her guitar, aiming it at Black Phoenix who jumped out of the way and Ember's attack destroyed a few boxes meant for JC Penny.
"Hey, back off Ember," Danny said grabbed her guitar and hitting her with it and sending her backwards. The hair of a very angry Ember flared and it shot out towards Danny who still had her guitar.
Danny flew into the wall and rubbed his head before shooting at her with an ecto- blast. She moved out of the way and in front of Aly whom everyone forgot was there. Danny used his ghost stinger to electrocute Ember (I have no idea how this attack works, but I need it, so if I'm wrong just go with it.)who yelped in pain and was sent backwards into Aly, both hitting the wall. A pile of empty boxes fell on top off them.
"Aly," Black Phoenix, Tucker and Danny shouted running over to where the boxes were piled on top of Aly.
They removed the boxes and saw Aly slumped against the wall rubbing her forehead.
"That hurt," she muttered as Danny helped her stand up.
"You okay Aly?" Tucker asked
Suddenly Aly's head snapped up and a few locks of her hair turned a fiery blue.
"Idiot," Ember's voice came from Aly's body. "I'm not dipstick's girlfriend's disaster, and I'll be taking my guitar." she said and the guitar flew into her hands.
"Ember?" Danny asked confused
"Well, Duh dipstick," Ember's voice said while at the same time Aly's voice replied. "I'm not that punk rock star."
Tucker's eye's widened, while Black Phoenix and Danny simply looked at each other with raised eyebrows and then back at Aly's body.
"Call your sister Danny and I'll call Silver Moon. We've got a problem." she sighed dryly.
-.oOOo.-
Now I bet you weren't expecting me to do that. You'll see what happens next time I update. You'll just have to settle for the sneak peek for now:
"I did not," Danny denied holding his hands up in defense. "All I did was attack Ember and then," he snapped his fingers, "Presto, Ember sharing a body with Aly."
"Well it's just like..." Black Phoenix frowned. "What do you call it?"
"Overshadowing," Danny replied
"Yeah, that... Why can't she just come out?"
"First of all," Ember started, "When a ghost overshadows someone, the person is never aware of what's going on while the ghost is in his or her body. This isn't overshadowing. Second, I tried to. It didn't work."
"So now I'm stuck sharing a body with a ghost look alike of me!" Aly exclaimed
"Hey, shut up you. I'm in control of this body for the moment." Ember snapped
Aly growled.
"You're not stuck like this... At least not stuck like this forever. Just until we find out what happened." Danny rubbed his head. This was doing nothing for the headache he had already had.
