Chapter Eleven: The Return of Danni (AN: As in the one from Kindred Spirits, I love that episode:) )
March 21, 2008, Thursday
It was another beautiful, sunny day in the town of Amity Park (Why is it always sunny? Why!). Our heroes had just gotten out of school after a rough day. Not only did they have to take a test in Lancer's class, but Cujo had decided to follow them to school. After hiding the excitable ghost puppy from the teachers all day they were ready to relax. Unfortunately fate (and the insane author of this story) had other plans for them.
"Well that was one heck of a day." said Sam.
"I'll say, who knew having a puppy could be so much trouble?" said Danny.
"Yeah, but most puppies can't go through walls and become invisible." said Valerie.
"Well it wasn't all horrible, remember gym?" said Tucker.
"Oh yeah! Where Cujo turned invisible and stole Paullina's clothing." said Alicia.
"And she ran around trying to catch her flying clothes." said Alex.
"I swear I have never laughed so hard, Cujo you are getting an extra treat when we get to Danny's house." said Sam.
Upon hearing the word treat Cujo started to bark happily.
"Don't reward him too much, he might start following us to school more." said Danny.
"Oh like you weren't thinking of giving him a treat for when he bit Dash on the behind." said Sam.
"Ok, maybe I was, but they say great minds think alike." said Danny.
"You also have a great body to go with that." said Sam.
"I was just about to say the same to you." said Danny as he gave her a kiss.
"So you guys ready for the dance on Saturday?" said Alicia.
"You bet, although I wish Paullina hadn't been the one to pick the theme." said Sam.
"Yeah, the pretty princess theme seems a little much." said Alicia.
"I hope you two can survive all the pink." said Tucker.
"Don't worry, we have a plan to fix little miss pretty pink's little red wagon." said Sam.
"It isn't anything illegal is it?" said Danny.
"Depends on what you consider illegal." said Alicia.
"This is what you get when one of your friends has a lawyer for a father." said Valerie.
"Well be careful, I don't want you to get in trouble magic girl." said Alex.
"I won't magic boy." said Alicia as she kissed him.
Our heroes finally got to Danny's house. They walked up and opened the door, and then Danny stopped. Sitting on the couch was someone Danny had not seen for a long while.
"Hey cousin!" said Danni, the now 14 year old girl clone of Danny.
"Danni, what are you doing here?" said Danny.
"I came here because I have a problem, I'm starting to melt." said Danni.
"Oh no! How long ago did this start?" said Danny, concern in his voice.
"About a week, I would have got here sooner but flying takes up to much energy." said Danni
"Don't worry, we'll figure out some way to fix this." said Danny.
"Uh, I think some of us need to be filled in here." said Alicia.
"Yeah, who is this kid and why does she have the same name as Danny?" said Valerie.
"Well guys this girl…is my clone." said Danny.
"Your clone!" said Alicia, Alex, and Valerie.
"Yeah, Vlad tried to clone me a few years back and she was one of the clones. She helped me escape from him." said Danny.
"So basically she's like a younger female version of you." said Valerie.
"Yeah." said Danny.
"So what's with the melting problem she mentioned?" said Alicia.
"Well the reason Vlad tried to capture me was that he needed my mid-morph DNA, without it the clones are unstable and they can melt." said Danny.
"So that means if we don't fix this she'll melt." said Alex.
"I don't wanna melt, there's so much I want to do in life!" said Danni as she began to cry.
"Don't worry, we'll make sure that doesn't happen." said Danny.
"Yeah, no one is melting while were around." said Alicia.
"You'll really help me?" said Danni
"Sure we will." said Sam.
"Maybe Danny's parents can help?" said Tucker.
"Yeah, they are ghost experts after all." said Valerie.
"Do you think its ok to tell them, what if they try to test stuff on me?" said Danni.
"Don't worry, they found out about my secret awhile ago and they haven't experimented on me…well dad tried to but mom stopped him." said Danny.
"Well its better then melting." said Danni.
With everyone in agreement our heroes went down to the lab to talk to Jack and Maddie. They were working on their latest invention, the Fenton Juicer.
"Hey kids! Want to see the Fenton Juicer? This baby makes delicious juice and can be used as a weapon against ghosts." said Jack as they entered the lab.
"Uh no thanks dad, we sort of have a problem." said Danny, then Danni pocked her head out from behind him.
"Hey Danny, who is that?" said Jack.
"Is she a classmate of yours?" said Maddie.
"No, actually she is the one with the problem." said Danny.
"Does it involve ghosts?" said Jack as he pulled out a painful looking ghost weapon.
"No, maybe you should sit down." said Danny.
So Jack and Maddie sat down and Danny explained the whole situation, about Vlad and the clones and how Danni was one of them. By the end Jack and Maddie were sitting there in shock.
"So this girl is a clone of you?" said Jack.
"Yes." said Danny.
"I knew Vlad was insane, but to create a daughter and then try to destroy her, that is a new low." said Maddie.
"So will you help her?" said Danny.
"Of course we will! She may be a clone but she has Fenton DNA in her, and the Fenton's always help each other." said Jack.
"We have to run some tests to see what we can do." said Maddie.
"I'll get the Fenton Scanner!" said Jack as he rummaged through a pile of inventions.
As Jack and Maddie prepared to run some tests, little did they realize that they were being spied on. It seems that a certain creepy billionaire was up to his old tricks and was observing the Fenton's. He had seen the whole thing, including that Danni had returned.
"Well it seems my traitorous daughter Danielle has returned, and she has a problem with melting." said Vlad.
Vlad sat there thinking about this turn of events. Then he got an evil idea, since Daniel would not join him, maybe he could force Danielle to.
"Its seems I was a little hasty in rejecting my daughter. I think it is time for me to see my dear Danielle." said Vlad as he laughed evilly. (An: And as always we have to ruin Vlad's day. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.)
Suddenly Vlad is hit with a big sack of manure that breaks open and ruins his suit.
"Maybe I can get Danielle to help me destroy Rob Phantom?" said Vlad as he went to clean up.
Meanwhile back in Amity Park Jack and Maddie were running tests on Danni to see if they could help her. After a few dozen tests they came up with the answer.
"Well it seems Vlad was right about one thing, we do need some of Danny's DNA to stabilize Danni." said Maddie.
"What do we need to do?" said Danny.
"Well all we need is a piece of your hair to create a serum, and that will stabilize Danni." Said Maddie, as Jack snuck up and plucked out one of Danny's hairs.
"Yoink!" said Jack.
"Ow! That hurt!" said Danny.
"Get a few more Jack, just in case." said Maddie.
Several more painful hair plucks later they finally had enough hair.
Ok, kids, we'll get started on the serum, you take Danni upstairs and make absolutely sure she does not get to excited, in this state it may cause her to melt." said Maddie.
So our heroes walked up the stairs and went to watch TV. Little did they know that a certain evil halfa was about to bring way to much excitement to their day.
They went to watch TV, when Cujo decided to join them. He walked over to Danni and sat down in her lap.
"Aw! What a cute puppy!" said Danni.
"That's Cujo, he's actually a ghost puppy." said Danny.
"Yeah, he showed up one day and didn't want to leave, so we kept him." said Sam.
"Yeah, and Valerie freaked out about it." said Alicia.
"I didn't freak out." said Valerie.
"Then what was with you screaming he was going to eat us?" said Alicia.
"I got over it eventually." said Valerie.
"How could you ever be afraid of such a cute little guy?" said Danni as she scratched behind Cujo's ear.
"Can we please just drop this and watch TV?" said Valerie.
So they continued to watch TV, but they did not get to do so for long. A few minutes later a wall blew in and covered our heroes in dust and debris. When the dust cleared they saw the evil face of Vlad Plasmius.
"Vlad! What are you doing here!" said Danny in anger.
"Why I just thought I would drop in on my dear friends the Fenton's, and look, Danielle is here too." said Vlad.
"Ahhh!" said Danielle as she hid behind Sam.
"What do you want Vlad?" said Danny.
"Well since you won't join me, I thought I would get the next best thing." said Vlad.
"Danni" said Danny.
"You are correct, I have come for my daughter." said Vlad.
"I'll never go with you!" said Danni.
"And we won't let you get her." said Danny as he transformed.
"I don't think so, for I have the advantage here." said Vlad.
Vlad snapped his fingers and the Fright Knight, Skulker, and a bunch of Walker's guards appeared.
"How did you get Walker's guards?" said Danny.
"I'm renting them from him, he needed some money for addition to his prison." said Vlad.
Meanwhile at Walker's prison
"Finally I've completed the cells for that punk and his friends!" said Walker.
"Now all I have to do is get them here." Said Walker, but realized that it would be very hard to do that without his guards.
"I'm just going to sit down now." said Walker sadly.
Back in Amity Park
"Sam! Alicia! Get Danni out of here and warn my parents, we'll hold them off!" said Danny as he fired at Vlad.
"Right." said Sam as she and Alicia used their ghost powers to sink down into the lab. (The ones they got in The Life and Times of Alicia Szivos.)
"Ok Vlad, your not getting anywhere near her." said Danny.
"Fine, have it your way, Attack!" said Vlad and the battle began.
Meanwhile Sam and Alicia had gotten Danni to the basement where Jack and Maddie were working on the serum. They could hear the noises of the battle upstairs.
"Kids! What's going on upstairs?" said Jack.
"Vlad and a bunch of goons showed up, they're after Danni!" said Sam.
"Oh no! You have to hold them off, we've almost finished the serum." said Jack.
"Uh guys, we have a melting problem." said Alicia.
They looked and Danni was starting to melt.
"Ahhhh!" said Danni.
Then a bunch of guards flew into the lab.
"We'll be taking that girl now." said one of the guards.
"Alicia! Can you use your magic to keep Danni together?" said Maddie.
"Uh, I think so." said Alicia.
"Then you keep her together, and Sam you and Jack fight off the guards, I'll finish the serum." said Maddie.
So Alicia focused her power onto Danni to keep her from melting. This left Jack and Sam to fight the ghosts.
"You ready for this Sam?" said Jack.
"I was born ready." said Sam.
"Then lets do this!" said Jack as they attacked the guards.
Meanwhile back upstairs our heroes were still fighting with Vlad and his goons. They had managed to knock out several of the guards and destroy Skulker's suit. But that left Vlad, the Fright Knight, and some guards. But they had managed to knock out Tucker and Alex, leaving only Danny and Valerie
"You'll never get Danni." said Danny as he fired at Vlad.
"I will, I always get what I want." said Vlad.
"Yeah, except my mom, me, and the Green Bay Packers." said Danny.
Vlad became enraged by this and flew at Danny, knocking him to the ground. Vlad was about to crush his skull when Valerie blasted him.
"Thanks Val." said Danny.
"Don't mention it." said Valerie, then the Fright Knight tried to hit her with his sword, but missed.
"This battle isn't over yet whelps." said the Fright Knight, but them he got blasted.
"You got that right." said Danny.
So the battle upstairs continued, as did the battle downstairs in the lab. Jack and Sam was using the many ghost fighting weapons laying around to keep the guards off of the others. Maddie was quickly trying to mix the serum and Alicia was trying to keep Danni from melting. But the concentration was taking a lot of energy from Alicia.
"Mrs. Fenton hurry! I can't keep this up much longer!" said Alicia.
"Almost there and…done!" said Maddie.
"Good, we're sort of running out of Danni here." said Alicia, because Danni was now just a head.
"Quick Danni! Drink this!" said Maddie
She gave the serum to Danni who drank it down. The serum began to work instantly and Danni started to reform. Soon she was completely back to normal.
"It worked!" said Maddie.
"It did! Now I won't melt!" said Danni as she gave Maddie a big hug.
"That's wonderful!" said Jack, who was taking care of the last guard.
"Hey guys, I think we should go up and help Danny." said Sam, as more explosions came from upstairs.
"Then lets go." said Danni.
Back upstairs Danny and Valerie were still fighting Vlad and the Fright Knight. But they were weakened from all the fighting and were injured.
"Well it seems that Daniel and his little friend are getting tired." Said Vlad.
"You'll never win Vlad." said Danny.
"We'll see about that." said Vlad.
He was about to fire when a blast hit him and knocked him into the wall.
"You leave him alone." said Danni.
"Well if it isn't my daughter." said Vlad.
"I am not your daughter!" said Danni.
"Well you soon will be." said Vlad.
"Oh I don't think so." said Danni.
It was then that Jack, Maddie, Sam, and Alicia appeared behind Danni, and they looked mad. Vlad realized that he was now in a very bad situation, facing seven people with only one minion left.
"Well would you look at the time, It looks like I have to…retreat!" said Vlad.
Vlad and the Fright Knight fled the Fenton's house. Just as they did the anti-ghost unit of the police should up.
"Oh great! Now they show up!" said Sam.
Everyone quickly changed back to normal as the police busted into the house.
"Ok, where are the ghosts!" said Officer McManus.
"Uh we took care of them, those ghosts made a mistake when they wanted to mess with the Fenton's." said Jack.
"Good job, but I would expect that from the world's greatest ghost hunters. But who is this little girl?" said Officer McManus.
"Uh, she was being held by the ghosts, they said they were stealing children." said Maddie.
"That's horrible! Well you folks have to come to the station to tell us what happened." said Officer McManus.
So the Fenton's went to the station and made up a story about ghosts that stole children and killed their parents. When the officers tried to press further Danni would start to cry and they would stop. Then the question of what to do with Danni came up.
"Now what do we do with this little one?" said Officer McManus.
"Well we think that the ghosts might try to come back for her, so we thought that we might adopt her." said Maddie.
"Adopt?" said Danni.
"Yes, we would never forgive ourselves if the ghosts hurt you." said Jack.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" said Danni as she gave then a hug.
"Well I could not think of a safer place for her, just let me look up her records and we will see about the adoption papers." said Officer McManus.
Alicia, Sam and Alex used their powers to create a fake set of records for Danni. It was enough of a record that proved she existed and did not come out of the blue. After the officer checked and saw her fake identity, the director of childrens affairs came with the adoption papers.
"Ok Mr. and Mrs. Fenton, all the papers are set, all you do is have to sign them." said Mr. Johnson.
They signed them gladly, and Danni was very happy, she finally had a home. They went back home and Danni was happier then she had ever been.
"Thank you! Thank you for adopting me!" said Danni.
"Your welcome." said Maddie.
"Well Danny, it looks like you have two sisters now." said Sam.
"Yeah dude, your our numbered now." said Tucker.
"That's ok, as long as she is safe from Vlad that's all I care about." said Danny.
"Hey kids! How about we go out for some pizza?" said Jack.
"Yay! Pizza!" said Danny and Danni.
"Wow, they really are identical." said Alicia.
Everyone laughed at this and headed to the pizza shack. But little did they know that a certain evil creep was watching them.
"You may have won this time Daniel, but one day you, your mother, and Both your sisters will be my family." said Vlad. (AN: looks like Vlad didn't learn his lesson. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever.)
Then suddenly Vlad is hit with 1,352 rotten eggs.
"I have to get rid of Rob Phantom one of these days." Said Vlad as he flew home.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Rob: Well once again our heroes beat the stuffing out of Vlad.
Ember: It's always good when Vlad losses.
Rob: You know what else is good?
Ember: What?
Rob: The hurt Vlad lever. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever. We see Vlad trying to change a light bulb on his tall ceiling.
Vlad: It figures that it would go out when the Fright Knight is on vacation. We go to Forbidden Island in the Caribbean, location of the secret ghost vacation resort. We can see the Fright Knight playing limbo.
Vlad: And I had to shock myself with the Plasmius Maximus too, almost…there. Said Vlad as he reached for the bulb. Suddenly the ladder he is one begins to wobble. It falls over and makes him crash through a window. He falls and lands in a large wheelbarrow of manure. It begins to roll done the hill and towards the busy highway.
Vlad: Ahhhhh! Vlad goes across the highway and avoids all the cars. Then he falls off a short cliff into a field of cow pies. (Because there are a lot of cows in Wisconsin)
Vlad: This could not get any worse. Then Vlad noticed the Army of Fluffy Doom was all around him.
Vlad: Me and my big mouth. The Army then attacks Vlad like a hurricane of cuddly doom.
Ember: That made my day.
Rob: And I'm sureit made our fans day too, and now the chapter summery.
Yay! Danni is safe and won't melt now! And she now has a home to live in. also Vlad once again has been defeated and did not get Danni. Well it looks like things are going a little better for our favorite super powered teens. But what will tomorrow bring? Read the next chapter of 14 Days in the Life of Danny Phantom to find out.
Rob: Until next time Danny Phantom fans, Read and Review!
