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.

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's sister, 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 eightteen of this story.

The McLains Part II

By

DarkDragonQueen

-.oOOo.-

In the basement of the mall Danny and Black Phoenix stared at Aly's body. Tucker held both Danny and Sam's cellphone talking to both Jazz and Silver Moon. She looked down and a scream came from her mouth. It was obviously Ember's voice.

"Okay dipstick, what's going on and why am I in your girlfriend's god-sister's body?" Ember cried out and tried to get out of the body she was in, but to no avail. "And why can't I get out of it?"

Black Phoenix simply shrugged and turned to grab her phone from Tucker.

"Sam," came Aly's voice. "Why is Ember in my body? How dis this happen? What did you guys do?"

"We didn't do anything, Danny on the other hand might have." Black Phoenix replied tapping her finger nails on her arms

"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.

"Okay," said Black Phoenix powering down to her normal self. "I talked to Silver Moon and Jazz. We're meeting at my house in the Phoenix Nest in twenty minutes. Let's go."

"Wait a minute." Ember said putting her guitar around her neck. "I'm not going anywhere with you dipsticks. I don't need your help."

"You want to share a body with Aly for the rest of your afterlife," Danny started dryly

"Or do you want to except our help?" Sam finished

Ember groaned and reluctantly floated to where the three teens were standing. "You're lucky I still have my powers dipstick. Now where is this Phoenix Nest..."

-.oOOo.-

"Why are we in your basement in front of a closet door?" Ember asked as Sam took out the key to the room. "I mean aren't we supposed to be at this Phoenix Nest place." Ember suddenly frowned and made a face. "Fine, you didn't have to snap kid." she muttered and then rolled her eyes. "I'll call you whatever I want."

Danny and Tucker gave the ghost who was currently residing in Aly's body a weird look and Sam spoke.

"Um, are you alright?" she asked

"Yeah why?" Ember snapped

"Well, you're talking out loud to someone and we were just making sure you weren't hearing voices," Tucker enlightened and Ember scoffed

"The only voice I'm hearing is the one in my head that belongs to Goth Girl's annoying god- sister." she crossed her arms

"Cool, so you two have a mental link?" Tucker asked

"Don't know, and couldn't care less," Ember said as Sam opened the door to the Phoenix Nest.

"This is the Phoenix Nest." she said an walked inside followed by Danny, Tucker, and Ember (who was floating a few inches above the ground.)

Tucker's jaw dropped and then he ran to the giant computer that sat on the right wall. He looked at the flat screen and the control panel with all the buttons and different gadgets. He swore he had died and gone to heaven.

"This has to be the mother of all computers..." he said flexing his fingers ready to try it out.

"Don't touch it," said Silver moon who was over in the corner drawing blueprints for Sam's new motorcycle.

"You built this?" Tucker asked looking at it

"Yeah," Silver Moon replied casually

"Could you possibly build a PDA better than the best one on the market?" he asked excitedly

"Most likely," she replied

"Could you-"

"I might do it for your birthday, but most likely no."

"Darn," Tucker snapped his fingers

"This place is impressive isn't it?" Jazz asked coming back in with a soda in her hands

"No kidding." Danny said looking at all the gadgets and such on the big silver table on the left wall along with blueprints. Something caught his eye and he smirked. "You took the Fenton DNA extractor Sam?"

Sam blushed. "Just so Silver Moon could make it better," she said shyly

"I also made an ecto- gun." Silver Moon said. "You can have yours back if you want."

"How did you get an ecto- gun?" Danny asked

"I never did give it back to you after we chased down Palprin..." Aly smiled taking over her body for a moment until Ember took back control

"Okay, can we please get to the problem at hand." she asked impatiently

"Okay," Silver Moon said grabbing the Phoenix DNA Extractor from beside her. "First we need to look at the DNA." she put it on Ember's arm. "It's most like mixed now that you two are sharing the same body."

She put her finger to the trigger, but Ember jumped back.

"What is that thing?" she asked

Silver Moon rolled her eyes. "It's just going to take a little of your DNA so I can analyze it."

"How do I know you're not pulling a fast one on me?" Ember's eyes narrowed

"You're in my god-sister's body. It would hurt her too if we tried anything." Sam stated exasperated at the rock stars attitude.

Silver Moon replaced the gun on her arm and pulled the trigger and then pulled it back. She went over tho the giant computer and activated the analyzer while unloading the DNA from the gun.

She placed it in a slot on the computer and uploaded the data. "Whoa," she said looking over it and Jazz came to stand next to her.

"Is that both their DNA?" she asked

"The one on the left is Ember's and the one on the right is Aly's. I was right the DNA was mixed." Silver Moon shrugged

"Big deal, now can you please tell me how you can split us apart." Ember snapped and then frowned again. "Shut up kid,"

"We can't," Silver Moon replied

"I'm sorry. I don't think I heard correctly. Repeat yourself." Ember said through gritted teeth

"We can't,"

"What the HELL do you mean YOU CAN'T?" Not only Ember's but Aly's voice screeched

"Look at this," Silver Moon replied and the teens walked over the screen. "This is Aly and Ember's basic DNA broken down to the simplest form. See any difference."

"Nothing except for that green stuff around Ember's" Tucker answered

"Signifying she's a ghost, but look at what happens when I remove that." Silver Moon said and her fingers raced across the control panel.

"They look exactly alike." Tucker said amazed

"Exactly and so Aly's body isn't rejecting Ember, if it were Ember would have painlessly been pushed out in a matter of minutes." Silver Moon explained

"So we're stuck like this?" Ember exclaimed

"Until Aly's body pushes you out..." Silver Moon trailed off

"How long will that be?" both Ember and Aly asked with arms crossed and a foot tapping the ground

"Well if they weren't almost exactly alike it would take a few days,"

"How long?"

"Maybe a few weeks..."

"Silver Moon," Aly growled. "How long," Ember added

" In your case though, six months to a year..." Silver Moon muttered

"WHAT?"

"Listen you, if you don't come up with a way to separate us, I'm going to rock your world... literally." Ember said readying her guitar

Silver Moon glared. "I can't do anything about it. When Danny used his ghost stinger and you crashed into Aly it was like a glue to bond you two together and since your DNA almost matches I can't do anything about it."

Ember rounded on Danny. "So this is your fault dipstick,"

"No, you just so happened to be standing in front of Aly," Danny defended

Ember turned around and groaned walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Sam asked

Ember turned to look at her and scowled. "If I'm going to be stuck in this body for a while then I'm not going to stay anywhere near you guys any longer than I have to. I'm going to go play some tunes and I don't want to be bothered." Ember rolled her eyes. "And goth girl, your god- sister says she's going to take a rest and that she'll be down whenever I'm done."

Ember walked out the room and slammed the door.

"She's rather moody today," Danny muttered

"I heard that dipstick,"

-.oOOo.-

Sam waited expectantly at the front door. Yesterday she had contacted Aly's grandmother who she had asked if she could send all the stuff she could on their family in express mail so it would arrive the next day. Lucky for her, Aly's grandmother had the youth and agility of a twenty- five year old and thirty minutes later called saying it should be there in the afternoon.

"What's taking so long? Of all days the mailman has to be late today," she groaned and the doorbell rang. She ran to the door swinging it open and saw Danny. Her face fell.

"Oh, it's just you..." she sighed and Danny frowned

"Nice to see you too Samantha," he said sarcastically

"Want to know what happened to the last boy who called me that?" Sam asked

"I think I was the last boy to call you that." Danny said referring to when she had dragged his ghost self to her room to clean his cut.

Sam rolled her eyes and sat on the stairs looking intently at the door.

"What are you waiting on?" Danny asked sitting next to her

"A package that should be here any moment now." Sam replied looking down at her hands and sighing then she looked up at him. "What are you doing here anyway?"

"Is it against the law for me to check up on my partner in crime?" Danny asked and Sam nudged him playfully in the side.

"No it isn't," she laughed. "But seriously, why are you here?"

Danny look back up the stairs. "To check on a certain ghost residing in your god- sister's body. Has she been any trouble?"

"A little while after you all left, she let Aly have control of her body and we haven't heard a word from her since. Well I think Aly's had a few talks with her in her head. I think Ember's a little annoyed though." Sam explained

"I figured as much," Danny replied and the doorbell rang again. Sam jumped up to get it.

To her relief it was the mailman carrying a large box in his hands. "Thank you," Sam said grabbing the box with one hand from the mailman who was carrying it with both hands and still having trouble with it. She tipped him and closed the door. She went back to the stairs where Danny stood and took the box from her.

"Take it to my room and I'll show you what it is." Sam said running past Danny to open her room door. Danny entered and dropped the box in the middle of the floor.

Sam ran over to open it and took off the tape. She opened the box and saw a lot of old pictures and various items. There was even a yearbook.

"What is all this stuff?" Danny asked

"I was curious to know why Aly and Ember look like they could have been twins." Sam replied. "What's Ember's last name?"

"It's McLain... Why?"

"Aly's last name is McLain." Sam stated

"How coincidental is that?"

"That just it. I don't think it was a coincidence. I think that Ember and Aly maybe..." Sam trailed off, but Danny knew where she was taking this.

"You think their related!" Danny exclaimed

"Well, look at them. Their a bit alike. I mean if you take away Aly's outgoing personality, her taste in style, along with how she likes to pry into other people's business, you've got another Ember."

"You really think so?" Danny asked raising an eyebrow

"You don't know her like I do. When the girl's in a bad mood she just says the first thing that comes to her head and she can make up some of the worst insults." Sam said taking out the pictures.

Danny took out the yearbook as Sam opened the box full of pictures and saw that they were stacked together in organized stacks. One had family friends and Sam looked through them.

"Wow, Aly's grandmother was really pretty when she was younger." Sam said seeing a picture of a blonde haired, pale teen that resemble Aly's grandmother. "She looks nothing like her though."

Sam looked through the pictures and then came to the last stack that said my sister and me. She looked at the first picture which had a picture of two little girls. She turned the picture over and saw that there were two names on the back.

"Alicia and Amber." Sam read and figured that one was Aly's grandmother, who was named Alicia, and the other was Amber.

Danny scooted next to her and looked at the pictures and the two girls got older. Then it skipped a few years and it seemed they were at a wedding. Alicia was in a wedding gown and Amber was frowning in her dress obviously not to happy to be wearing whatever color it was. It was on that picture that their eyes widened.

"Amber looks just like Ember does now... except for the blue hair." Danny added and then picked out a newspaper clipping

"Hey look at this," he told Sam and she leaned over reading the headline

Funeral for Famous Broadway Actor's Sister Today

Under that was a black and white picture of Amber, holding a guitar that closely resembled one that was now sitting in Aly's room, or as they knew her today Ember.

"That's Ember!"

"Look at the article. She died in a plane crash to visit her sister Alicia who had just given birth to a baby girl which just so happens to be Aly's mother." Sam stated after she skimmed through the article.

After looking at a few more things they came to the conclusion that Ember was Amber McLain an aspiring rock star who was going to visit her sister died in the plane crash. Her sister and her African American husband's daughter (Aly's Mother) grew up got married and had Aly and in her aunt's and her mother's honor gave her daughter the name Alicia (after her mother) and Amber McLain for her last two names (After her aunt), of course assuming that Amber hadn't had a middle name.

"That makes sense. It also explains why Aly looks just like Ember." Danny said after they came to the conclusion.

At that moment Aly came in the door. "What are you two doing in here? Hey," she said looking at the box, "Did my grandmother send you that stuff?"

"Yeah," Sam said as Aly bent down and began looking through the box and various items.

"Wow, I never knew she had all this stuff." Aly came across the picture of her grandmother's wedding and then a frown came to her face and it seemed as though she might be having another conversation with her resident ghost.

Her hair then got streaks of light blue and her eyes glazed over. "Where did you get this stuff?" Ember asked looking at it.

"Aly's grandmother," Sam replied as she and Danny sat on the bed.

"What was her name?"

"Alicia McLain... Well that was her maiden name anyway. She was a Broadway actress." Sam said hoping that maybe Ember would put two and two together like Aly most times did.

"My sister sent you this." She whispered. "I never thought I see any of this stuff again after I died." she then picked up a lock of dark brown hair. "I don't even want to know how she got this."

Ember picked up the wedding picture again and then scowled, but not at the picture.

"Shut up kid. I told my sister to burn this picture of me in a dress, not to mention it was a dark shade of yellow." she growled out and then her scowl turned into a glare. "You ever call me aunt again kid and I'll make sure you're the ghost and I'm the one in your body with another shot at life when we split."

Sam and Danny laughed only being able to imagine what Aly had said.

Ember stood up and walked out the room trying to hide a smile that was creeping onto her lips. "At least I'm stuck in the body of someone who I'm related to. Unfortunately she just had to be friends with the dipstick." she walked out the room.

"The next few months with Ember are going to be interesting." Sam said looking at the still open box.

-.oOOo.-

Well, there's the secret behind Aly's name and I'll probably do a separate story on how they split after I finish this. I honestly don't know how long it will be. Hopefully I can bring it to a close at thirty chapter... Hopefully. Here's your sneak peak:

"Ooo, that ones pretty. I want that one." Toya said reaching out to grab the doll.

"You have to pay for that you know." Sam said dryly startling the girl.

"Why?" Toya pouted. "I just want a doll to play with. I've never had one before."

Sam sighed. "But you can't steal it and you can't fly around our world wrecking havoc. You're going to have to go back to the ghost zone."

Toya gasped. "No not there. I just want to play." she whined and then she grinned as spotted the thermos in Sam's hand. "Well then if you won't let me play I'll just have to wear you out first. Catch me if you can." Toya took off into through the isles.

Sam groaned about to transform, but before she could do that a red blur shot past her and stop before hitting one of the shelves.

"You should get out of here." Valerie said to her clad in her red hunting suit and then took off down the isle chasing Toya.

At this point people had noticed the commotion and were running out the store as teddy bears and dolls came to life and turned to Sam.

"Oh crap," she muttered...

There it is. I hope you liked it. R&R.
