When Phantasma heard of the dessert vault, the banshee didn't realize how much could be stuffed into it. On the table were cakes, pies, fudge of many flavors, and other confectionary delights.

Even though Phanty mainly ate rotten and ghostly food, she couldn't help but salivate upon the sight.

"Big sweet tooth, huh?" Jack smiled at Phanty, who couldn't do anything about the blush on her face.

"Uh...well..."Phanty started until Jack laughed heartily.

"Good! You'll fit in just fine," Jack said as he grabbed one of the pies for himself.

"We Fenton's may be known mostly for our careers, but other than that, a sweet tooth is hereditary," Jack said before munching on the pie.

Phantasma couldn't help but laugh a bit. Mr. Fenton's love for dessert was too much for her. She excused herself from the table to go to the restroom. Danny followed to make sure she was alright. Jack and Maddie looked to each other with mischievous grins as Jazz looked on with surprise and worry.

Outside the door to the bathroom, Danny could hear a strangled noise.

"Phanty, I understand if you're still nervous," Danny said with concern. "But my folks are nice people. And I promise you nothing will change between us."

Phantasma opened the door to greet Danny with a puffed-up face that looked ready to erupt.

"It's not that," she said between giggles. "I just find it too funny. But I don't want to laugh. I've seen how your friends and sister react to it. Plus, I read that laughing out loud is not something you do in human events."

Danny looked at his girlfriend and held her hands as he laughed a little. "Trust me. My parents wouldn't care about stuff like that."

"You sure?" Phanty asked with an eyebrow raised with some sultry eyes and a smile that gave a sense of diablerie.

"That sign on the front of the house…let's just say it got more attention at first," Danny blushed as he rubbed the back of his head. He blushed even harder when he felt a chaste kiss on his lips. Courtesy of Phantasma, who wasn't stopping for at least a few more seconds.

"Thanks."

The two went back to the table, where Jazz, Jack, and Maddie had some concerned faces.

"Is everything alright, sweetie? Those ghosts didn't hurt you?" Maddie and Jack believed the ghosts may have spooked Phanty a little. They couldn't be more wrong.

"Nah, the ghosts were a scream," Phantly, in her moment of happiness with Danny, forgot she was in a house of ghost hunters. Danny and Jazz became wide-eyed when they heard.

"The ghosts were a scream?" Jack repeated. Phantasma now wanted to turn invisible…or hide under the table.

Jack and Maddie looked at each other for a moment in confusion. They didn't look angry, nor did they seem suspicious of the comment, but no emotions could be seen. And that was scarier.

"You…like ghosts?" Jack asked. Phantasma nodded; she saw no point in hiding that fact.

"Well, …that's fine," Jack replied to the relief of everyone. "I mean, Maddie and I are friends of ghosts, but we've can see the appeal."

"You can!?" Danny and Jazz asked at the same time. Phantasma was shocked too. This had been a first for the three.

"You'd be surprised how many monster-themed parties we've crashed," Jack said with complete obliviousness. The kids looked at Maddie to see a more exasperated face.

"That's why we're not invited to the block parties anymore," The glare from Maddie made Jack a little nervous.

"Well, that's too bad," Jack quickly spoke. "Because now they can't see the Fenton Dessert Devour."

"Jack, no! You promised me you wouldn't do that anymore!" Maddie stood up to make even level with her husband.

"The Fenton Dessert Devour?" Danny, Phanty, and Jazz asked in unison.

"It was something your father did back when we were dating. He'd use it win pie-eating contests. Don't get me wrong, it was fun seeing him win, but that kind of eating was not the best thing for you."

By the time Maddie had finished, Jack had made a small pile of pie slices, cake slices, fudges, eclairs, and cookies. It was a safe bet to say that he took a bit of the whole table and placed it into one pile. Before anyone could manage to do anything, Jack stacked them into a well-balanced tower and threw them up into the air, where they flew down into his gullet.

Everyone was amazed, or in Maddie's case, slightly embarrassed at the feat of gluttony.

Snort

Well, except for Phantasma, who couldn't hold her laughter anymore as she let out a wailing laugh. Her hysteric cackle had her holding Danny for Support as Jazz covered her ears. The banshee held in her laughter all night. When Phanty could take it anymore and let loose a sound akin to a wailing war cry, it made the equipment in the house go on the fritz. The microwave started to dance with electricity, as did the toaster and fridge. Any alarms in the home went off for everything, and all anti-ghost defenses activated and deactivated for no reason. Things were only mildly better when the radio came to life and sang.

Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

"Hey, this is my jam," Jack commented as he and Maddie tried to make sense of the situation. With scanner and blasters in hand, they were determined to fix or fight their appliances until their equipment overloaded and died out.

"Jack, get the tool kit."


Skulker contemplated his next move as he observed the ghost boy and his girlfriend from outside. Despite the damage the ghostly trio made, the hunter knew better than to enter the Fenton household. Especially with chaos happening now. Also, his pride wouldn't let him defeat Danny without a proper hunt or testament to his skills.

"Hmmm…it seems the banshee's shrill can affect the ghost boy's equipment," Skulker grinned with maniacal glee at this information.

Skulker would have laughed, but he noticed he was not alone. From another rooftop, he saw another ghost spying on the Fentons. Usually, he wouldn't care, not many ghosts really do, but the hunter was not in the mood for competition.

"You! Back away! Tonight, Skulker, Ghost Zone's greatest hunter, is the only one spying on his prey!"

Skulker drew his weapons and blades, but the other ghost showed no response. His boasting and threats did nothing for him. The hunter charged his guns with precision, his sights on the silent spirit.

This got a response, though the specter refused to utter a word. With an Ok gesture, the ghost disappeared, leaving a calmer Skulker.

"Now…where was I?"


Jack and Maddie could not believe Phantasma laughter did this. Jack had taken apart the toaster already and moved onto the microwave. First impressions were a lot, and Phantasma had been good, but now they didn't know what to think of her.

Until they heard Danny laughing with her. Jack and Maddie stopped what they were doing and saw Danny hugging his girlfriend.

"Stopped that Phanty!" Danny laughed. "That tickles!"

"I'm sorry, but it's so funny what your dad did."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

After a moment, Phanty's cackle finally started to die down. The two lovebirds looked around to see an even bigger mess and the Fenton parents staring at the two.

Phantasma realized that she may have caused this mess.

I guess the amulet wasn't strong enough. Phanty thought with a sad face.

"I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton," Phanty let go of Danny and looked the two directly in the eye. "I was trying to hold in my laugh. I noticed Jazz didn't like it, and I didn't want to bother you with it…but I never thought this would happen. I'm sorry."

Seconds felt like minutes as Phantasma remained in eye contact with Jack and Maddie. But instead of clenched jaws, she saw smiles.

"Phanty, dear," Maddie started. "The laugh maybe a bit much for us, but you make our son happy. Why I remember when Jack met my parents. Sure, there were some…complication, but they grew to be…ok with him."

"I think the laugh is fine," Jack walked over to Phantasma's seat. "Besides anyone who has a big sweet tooth is a friend of the Fenton clan. Heck, I love them so much, I accidentally put the rolls in the fridge when I was making room for the desserts."

Jazz had uncovered her ears by then and saw her father bear hugging Phanty. The banshee was already dead, but that didn't mean she didn't wish she could phase out.

This must be what living feels like. The ghoul thought.

"Dad, I think Phanty needs air," Danny tried to get his girlfriend free, but his dad was stronger than his human form. Luckily, Phanty was released seconds later, but she still needed some air.

"Sorry," Jack rubbed the back of his head. "It's just that Fenton men are bear huggers. Always have been, always will be."

"I hope so," Phanty gave Danny a deep blush with her bedroom eyes. Danny walked his girlfriend to the living room across from the kitchen. They needed some alone time. Sadly there was no time for that as the ringing and beeping of watches and clocks caught everyone's attention. It was around 10. It was time for Phanty to get ready to leave. Ghosts may have stayed up later, but not all humans were nocturnal.

"Aww, this is too soon," Phanty pouted. The banshee figured there was at least an hour left.

"Well, we would let you stay the night, but that seems too much right now. Especially after that ghost attack," Jack said as he and Maddie looked around the house. He had a point. Plus, if Phanty stayed longer than she should, her father would get suspicious. She was already spending more time with her mother. And since the two were not on good terms, it would have been difficult to keep The Phantom from getting suspicious if her mother couldn't produce evidence. Like Phanty being where she said she would.

"But before you go, give me a moment," Jack noticed her mood and hurried over to the kitchen. Jazz went to the broom closet for cleaning supplies while Maddie to the lab to double-check anything the ghost bats may have left. The family figured Danny and Phanty could use the last moments alone before the disguised banshee left.

"Sorry, things got a little hectic," Danny held Phanty's hand and whispered to her. "This normally doesn't happen. The only ghost that bothers us is the Box Ghost, and I leave him to my parents."

Phanty laughed at the comment, the pestering ghost would scream "beware" around the Ghost Zone.

"It's ok. Today was a scream," Phantasma leaned into Danny. Her face mere inches away from his. "Especially seeing you in action. For such a special on a special night, how about an extra special kiss?"

Danny closed the gap between the two as Phanty wrapped her arms around his neck. The ghost boy responded by bear-hugging Phanty and brought her in closer. After a few seconds, the two parted. Phanty looked to her boyfriend with a smile that became a frown.

"After today, I'll have to get ready for school. I'll be gone for awhile…and we won't be able to meet as often."

"I'll wait," Danny cupped her face. "After all…Phantasma, you're my spooky beauty. And I'll find a reason, if anything, to see you again."

"And you're my haunting hunk," Phantasma melted into his hands. Jack gave a small cough at the scene, he didn't want to be rude.

"Someone with a big sweet tooth should leave without a bag of sweets. Especially those hand-picked by a Fenton."

Jack handed her a bag full of deserts and walked her to the door with Danny. Jack asked Danny to make sure she was alright before her ride got to the house.

"And Phanty," Phantasma turned to the large man. "Since you're such a fan of ghosts, I'll tell you this. If by some small, molecular chance that there is a friendly ghost…I may…consider asking him if he likes fudge."

Danny was shocked to hear what he was hearing. His dad never spoke of ghosts like this before. Phanty got wide-eyed with glee, shock, and surprise.

"That being said, if he not friendly-"

"Yeah, got it, dad," Danny interrupted. He knew what Jack would say next and didn't want Phanty to hear. Danny wanted to end the night on a high note. "Look, Phanty's ride is here. I'll walk her out."

Danny took Phantasma by the hand and closed the door behind them. Jack chuckled as he walked to the kitchen.


Danny and Phanty looked around the neighborhood. Though it was empty, the two went to an alleyway where Phanty could transform and get a portal home.

"Your parents are nice," Phanty said with her usual ghostly glow. "A little…unfriendly to ghosts, but nice. I hope I can meet one day like this, but that won't be for a while."

"Yeah," Danny laughed. "Maybe they'll turn around. Be safe."

With a final kiss, Phantasma opened a portal and made her way home. It would probably be a long time before the two would meet again, but those two would find a way.


And we end the three-course with a sweet taste on our tongue. Looks like the amulet didn't completely work. Now that Summer will be over, school begins and the two may not see each other for a while. What awaits the two for the next year? Well...you'll just have to wait for the next chapter. From here, I will be putting in more crossover elements for now, but not much. So get ready for some more guest appearances.

Reviews:

Luiz4200: Never underestimate a man's love for fudge. Or sweets for that matter. As for Cree, it's a BIG, BIG maybe. It won't be happening here.

61394: Apparently, it was Jack who just placed them in the fridge. It's not a bad thing really. Bread last longer in there. As for culture clash, it can always be placed on a better path when people talk it out.

Major Simi: Trouble makers are gone, but it may as well be the beginning, especially with Danny's ghost fighting.

Jebest4781: Thanks. There's more to come with plenty of chapters.

Dreams Come True 996: Every night is always crazy at the Fenton house, especially if your name is Danny. I don't know if Danny will be able to help Phanty with fighting lessons. As for Jack and Maddie, they'll learn one day, sadly, just not right now.

Chester A Bum: Krakens are of Scandanavian folklore. but that doesn't mean he couldn't fight one, maybe. I doubt there's a beach in Amity Park the beast could appear at. But monsters do exist. So one day. One day. In the meantime, I still got many updates to give.
