DarkFoxKit: It's been a while since the last two updates, hasn't it? *Looks around before noticing someone was missing* Onyx! Onyx, get out here! We need to do the AN!
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': I'm in the kitchen with Andy! You come here!
DarkFoxKit: What? Why are you two in the kitchen?
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': Just come here, Fox.
DarkFoxKit: *Takes the camera before heading into the kitchen. She sees the kitchen table covered with different cakes* What the?
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': Hey Fox, Andy made a bet with me that I couldn't make every cake he could think of, since I did just that, he now has to pay up.
Andy: *Grumbles* I still don't get how you were able to get all those ingredients and recipes…
DarkFoxKit: … What did you bet, Andy?
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': Would you prefer to tell Fox or would you prefer showing her?
Andy: *sighs* It'll be faster if I just showed her and get it over with. *He leaves the kitchen*
DarkFoxKit: *Looks at Onyx* … So what are you going to do with all those cakes?
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': We'll eat them later. Now, I should go help Andy~ You wait here and help yourself to the cake.
DarkFoxKit: *Sweatdrops* That's a lot of cake to eat…
*Several minutes later…*
DarkFoxKit: *Sees Andy and Onyx coming back into the kitchen* It's about time, you took forever to- … What the heck?
Andy: *Is wearing a large pink and white princess dress. His face was also expertly done up with makeup*
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': May I introduce Princess Andrea~
Andy: Uuuugh, this is embarrassing! Why did I agree to this?
DarkFoxKit: *Is giggling* W-wow Andy- I mean, Princess Andrea, you make a pretty girl.
Andy: I don't want to hear laughing! Now… are you two going to do the AN? I'm going to go into my room.
Darkzdragon 'Onyx': Oh no, you're staying here. And *Points at the camera* we're already doing the AN.
Andy: *Eyes widen* W-WHAT!? WE WERE ON LIVE!?
DarkFoxKit: Yup, and now everyone gets to see you in that beautiful dress, Princess Andrea~
Andy: WAH! CUT OFF THE CAMERA! CUT IT OFF! CUT IT- *The camera suddenly went dead*
Chapter 49: Introducing Juliette
"Alright, guys, try not to startle her, okay? She hasn't really had much human contact in 1400 years and I'm the only one she really has talked to here," I said, hoping Tucker, Sam, and Danny wouldn't startled Juliette. "That means no overwhelming her with anything later."
"Why are you in your ghost form?" Sam asked.
"She hasn't seen me in my human form yet, I want to ease her into it," I answered as we stood in front of the abandoned opera house.
"If she's been in the Ghost Zone for 1400 years then she most likely doesn't have any knowledge related to technology, Tucker, so don't do your whole techno geek thing, alright?" Danny said as he floated next to Tucker in his ghost form.
I had asked Danny to be in his ghost form too, hoping it would help make Juliette more comfortable around him.
"Aww, so that means I can't even show her that I can use this card to turn my PDA into a GPS and this card to turn my GPS into a GBA?" Tucker whined as he held up his favorite PDA.
"She wouldn't know what a GBA or GPS or PDA is, Tuck," Sam said with a sigh.
Tucker looked like someone just kicked his puppy, if he had one.
"Come on, Tucker, you can geek out with her later when she gets used to modern technology," I said, hoping it will cheer him up a little bit.
"Maybe I can be her technology tutor!" Tucker said, perking up quickly. "I could teach her everything about technology and then I could also use that technology to teach her about what has happened on Earth for the past 1400 years!"
Sam just sighed and crossed her arms, "You seem way too excited about that. She's a ghost you've never even met, why do you want to teach her?"
"Maybe he thinks that she'll date him or something if he teaches her all that," Danny said with a smirk.
I raised an eyebrow at that. I knew Tucker was desperate to get a girl to like him, but a ghost girl? I did tell him she was a humanoid goat, didn't I?
"Whatever, let's just go, I'm sure Juliette's waiting," I said as I slowly opened the door. "Juliette? It's me, Andy, I've brought my brother and friends to meet with you."
We walked into the building and through the entry area into the main auditorium. When we got there, we were met with a huge surprise. Instead of seeing Juliette, we saw a somewhat small girl sitting on the stage. She was wearing a long, elegant, old fashioned pink and white princess dress. She had light colored skin and long slightly wavy, dirty blonde hair. I couldn't make out her eyes, or any of her other features and she looked to be a teenager.
"Whoa… who's that?" Tucker asked. "She's… pretty…"
"Is that Juliette?" Sam asked.
"I thought she would look more like a… goat?" Danny said, looking confused.
"She is…" I frowned, looking at the mysterious girl. "I don't know who this is."
"Maybe we should ask?" Tucker suggested. "I mean, what's the harm, right? You two should probably go invisible or something, so she doesn't freak out."
Before Andy could reply, the girl looked over at the door they were standing at and smiled.
"Hello, Andy, are these your friends?" The mysterious girl said in a voice that sounded very similar, but not exactly the same, as Juliette.
I stared at the mysterious girl, blinking at her. She knew me? … Either this is Juliette and she can shapeshift, or I lost my memory, or more time shenanigans is going on again.
"I thought you said you didn't know her, bro," Danny said with a bit of a smirk. "Trying to hide something from us?"
The girl gracefully hopped off the stage and started to make her way towards us. When she was close I saw that she had pink colored eyes and a blemishless appearance.
"H-Hi! I'm Tucker Foley!" Tucker nervously said as he bowed his head to the mysterious girl. "I think you're really cute! Would you go on a date with me?"
"Tucker!" Sam hissed. "You don't even know this girl!"
"You are quite cute yourself, Tucker Foley," The mysterious girl said. "But it wouldn't work out."
"Please just give me a chance!" Tucker begged.
"It wouldn't work for a few reasons," The mysterious girl said. "For one, I'm much too old for you."
"Wait a minute," I said, getting an idea as to who she is. "Is your name Juliette?"
The mysterious girl looked up at me and smiled before she said, "Correct, Andy."
"Wow," Sam said, looking at the human Juliette. "From the way Andy described you, I thought you would be a goat or something. Oh, my name is Samantha Manson by the way, it's nice to meet you, but please call me Sam."
"Oh, this? It's just what I used to look like," Juliette said. "And it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sam Manson. I am Juliette Quartz."
"Huh, I didn't know you could shapeshift," I said, looking at Juliette's human form.
"I've learned quite a few skills over my 1400 years running from Skulker," Juliette responded before she turned back to Tucker. "Just so you know, the other reason it wouldn't be able to work with us is because I'm not a human. Now, please, raise your head up."
Tucker still looked dejected, but he did look back up.
Danny then spoke up, "Hello, my name is Daniel Fenton, but you can just call me Danny. Actually, while I'm in this ghost form of mine, I call myself Danny Phantom. As you probably guessed, I'm Andy's twin brother."
"The resemblance is striking," Juliette said with a smile. "Now, I should show you my true form. Give me but a moment."
We waited as Juliette took a deep breath and allowed her body to start changing.
Her body glowed for a few seconds before she was standing in front of us in the form I had met her in.
"Whoa… your fur really is white," Danny said, surprised. "I thought Andy was exaggerating when he said that, because all the animal ghosts we've ever seen were always green and black."
Sam was smiling, she probably wouldn't say it out loud, but I'm sure she found Juliette's ghost form adorable, being a big animal lover and all. Tucker was staring, probably not sure what to think.
"Well, if Andy told you the whole story, I wasn't an animal before my death. I was a human," Juliette said.
I gave a sheepish chuckle, "I didn't tell them the full story, since it seemed like a personal thing, and figured it's better if you told them yourself."
"Hmmm, if that's the case then how about we head upstairs to the lounge? I cleaned it up and it would be a good place to talk," Juliette said. "I even found this amazing lever that made the room nice and bright."
"That would be a light switch," Tucker said. "It turns on the lights in the room. I guess this old building still gets electricity."
"Oh yeah, before we get comfortable, maybe we should show you our human forms too," I said to Juliette. "You haven't seen my human form yet."
"Oh right, you have yet to show me that," Juliette said. "Does that mean your twin is the same and also is half human and half ghost?"
"I was actually the original halfa between us two," Danny responded.
"Oh? So that means you have more experience than Andy? But you haven't even unlocked your element…" Juliette said.
"My element?" Danny asked.
Juliette nodded a little before she said, "I would love to educate you both later, but it isn't a conversation for this moment. For now, I would love to see your human forms."
"We'll have to tell you our story later too, it's been quite crazy since Danny became half ghost," I chuckled.
"On three?" Danny asked.
"Sure," I said.
"One… two… three!" Danny and I both summoned the rings of light around our torsos, and let them split apart horizontally as they changed us back into our human forms in front of Juliette, Tucker and Sam.
Since we were floating a few inches off the ground as ghosts, we both landed on our feet once we changed back to our human selves.
"Interesting, so your eye colors changed as well as your hair," Juliette said before she looked at our clothes. "I should probably see what styles of clothes are popular these days so I can update my shapeshifting."
"Well, since you can look like a human and even mask your ghostly aura, so we could probably go out and take you to different clothes stores to see what you like," Danny suggested.
"You would be willing to do that for me?" Juliette asked, sounding excited.
"It would give us a chance to get to know you better, and for you to get to know the modern world a little more," I said.
"I could help you with the clothes shopping," Sam suggested. "I know a lot of great clothing stores."
"As long as you don't just buy her black clothes," Tucker said. "She's not goth like you are."
Sam rolled her eyes, "I know, just because I'm goth doesn't mean it's the only style I know."
"I guess you would know what clothes would work for royalty, Sam," Tucker said with a smirk. "I mean your parents treat you like a princess when you are at home. I mean I don't know if Juliette is exactly a royal, but considering she was alive 1400 years ago and was in a dress that looked befitting a princess, it's a safe assumption."
"Call me a princess again and I will…" Sam grumbled, trailing off at the end.
"You are correct, Tucker, I was a princess," Juliette said.
"Let's hear her story out before we go clothes shopping," I said. "So you guys will know why I decided to bring her here in our world."
"Yes, for that we should head upstairs to the lounge," Juliette said. "If you would follow me, I will show you to the stairs."
We followed Juliette up the old creaky stairs.
"Um… are you sure this is safe? I mean this place is kind of old," Tucker said nervously as we went up the stairs.
"Of course, I tested each of the stairs to make sure they were safe," Juliette responded. "Do not worry, Tucker, I wouldn't bring you and Andy, Sam, and Danny up here if it wasn't safe."
"That's really good to know," Sam said as the stairs creaked with each step.
"I would like to replace the older wood with non-creaky wood, but unfortunately I have neither the tools, the experience, or the supplies," Juliette said.
"Maybe we should try to spruce this place up, it's kind of depressing here," Danny said.
"I did the best I could since I arrived here yesterday," Juliette said. "I did a lot of dusting, pulled covers off of furniture, and did quite a lot of safety checks."
"Heh, seems you've been busy since I took you here yesterday," I chuckled as we reached the top of the stairs.
Juliette walked to the door and opened it up. "Welcome to the lounge slash my temporary bedroom until I spruce the place up more."
We all looked around the lounge, it was pretty small but cozy looking, I guess. There was an old looking wardrobe in the corner, there were chairs sitting around a fairly elegant and old looking table and a big looking blanket on the floor.
"It's not much, but it works for now," Juliette said.
"The chairs aren't going to break as soon as we sit on them, are they?" Tucker asked skeptically.
"No, I already disposed of the older ones, those ones there don't even squeak," Juliette responded. "Go ahead and make yourselves comfortable."
"Hey, I kind of like it here, it's nice, dark and quiet," Sam said as she sat down on one of the chairs.
"Of course you'd like it," Tucker said, rolling his eyes as he sat down on another chair.
"Well, it is kind of homey, I guess," Danny said as he sat down on another chair.
I sat down on another chair while Juliette laid on the blanket, "So, do you want to tell them your story?"
"Of course," Juliette said with a smile. "Get comfortable, it is decently long."
After Juliette finished her story to Danny, Tucker and Sam, I watched as they let it sink in.
"I… still can't believe that they would use a goat's DNA to try and fix your legs!" Sam said angrily. "Of course that was going to kill you!"
"The thing is, it worked for a little bit," Juliette said. "It may have killed me in the end, but it did work for a few days."
"Nobody would ever think to use an animal's DNA to fix up someone," Tucker said with a frown. "At least not in modern times anyways."
"Didn't you say in your time you had magic?" I asked. "Couldn't a healer or someone use that to heal your legs?"
"Like I said, my Mommy and Daddy tried everything," Juliette said. "Including getting healers to try and heal me."
"So there really was magic back in your time?" Sam asked, intrigued. "What was it like?"
"There were all different kinds of magics, some that helped to summon weather, some that created elements like fire and ice, and some that could heal injuries, it was quite amazing," Juliette responded with a smile. "Had I lived a little longer, I would've started to learn magic myself."
"Whoa, it would've been so cool to see real magic," Danny said, smiling.
"If people could use actual magic back then, I wonder why they stopped?" I asked. "If they kept using magic, we still would've had it to this day."
"The dark ages," Sam responded with a frown. "Magic and science was seen as evil and cast out of society. All magical knowledge was even burned and anyone caught practicing magic or science would suffer the same fate as the knowledge."
"But how did it come to that in the first place?" Tucker asked.
"I guess paranoia kicked in," I said with a sigh. "Maybe someone with magic really hurt someone else, maybe even killed them."
"Actually, religion happened," Sam said with a sigh. "Whenever something good is ruined, there is usually some religious region involved. Then people started calling those with magic 'witches', and anyone who isn't human or a normal animal were seen to be a witch's familiar. The poor people who were accused of being a witch were burned alive."
Juliette cringed at that.
"Oh don't worry, people don't do that anymore," I quickly said. "If someone was using magic, it is often seen as someone using technology for special effects or a con artist wanting your money."
"There are probably magic tomes still in the ghost zone. I'd want to get some of them so I can teach myself some magic," Juliette said. "The magician who was planning on teaching me told me that I had quite a lot of potential."
"Even as a ghost, you can still use magic?" Danny asked.
"Hey, don't you two kind of already use magic yourselves?" Tucker pointed out. "You know, with the plasma rays, and going through walls and stuff?"
"Those are natural to a ghost, Tucker, so those don't count," I pointed out. "It's like saying we're walking, that's magic."
"Yes, ghosts can learn magic and use it if they have the potential," Juliette answered.
"It would be pretty cool to learn actual magic," Sam said with a smile. "I wouldn't mind trying to learn some myself. Of course my parents would freak out and never let me leave the house again if they ever saw me using magic."
"Yeah well, your parents aren't the best parents in the world," I grumbled, remembering my run in with the Mansons, and how I wished I could forget it.
"Well you could always return here and practice here if we ever did get magical tomes," Juliette said.
"Hey guys, we should probably get going," Danny said. "It's getting kinda late and we have school tomorrow."
"Will you be returning here after your 'school'?" Juliette asked.
"You'd have to brainwash me to stay away from here," Tucker said with a smile before frowning. "Uhh… well I mean… yes, we will return here tomorrow."
"We do have a school field trip tomorrow," I said, remembering the permission slip we had our Mom sign. "But we'll come by and see how you're doing after that, assuming nothing else comes up."
"What else would come up?" Juliette asked.
"Sometimes we would get attacked by hostile ghosts or a ghost is attacking the city," I answered. "And since we have ghost powers, it's our responsibility to stop these ghosts from hurting people. At least the ones in this town, we can only go so far after all."
"Ahhh, that's understandable," Juliette said. "Well I hope nothing happens to you tomorrow to prevent you from returning here."
"Maybe I'll bring some books about fairy tales too," Sam suggested. "I'm sure you'll love it, they always have magic in these stories."
"Wow Sam, I didn't know you read fairy tales," Tucker said.
"Why wouldn't I? They have great stories, especially the darker ones," Sam said with a smirk.
I chuckled, "Alright, we'll come back here later tomorrow, Juliette, as soon as we can."
Juliette nodded with a smile, "Please do. I'll try to spruce the place up a little more."
When we were outside of the opera house, I smiled as I looked at my friends, "So, what did you guys think of her?"
"I like her, she's nice," Tucker said. "And for a goat girl ghost, she's pretty too."
"Tucker, please don't tell me you have the hots for her," I groaned.
"Hey, you're talking to a guy who's in love with his own PDA, would it be that weird, Andy?" Sam said as she rolled her eyes.
"Hey!" Tucker frowned.
Sam then smiled as she said, "I like her too, she's very understanding, unlike my parents."
"Everyone is more understand than your parents, Sam," Danny said.
"You're telling me… I could more easily have a conversation with a brick wall or a stop sign than I could with my parents," Sam said with a sigh.
I sighed as I shook my head, "I was hoping they'd be more open after the Freakshow incident."
"Oh they were, until I snuck out to go see an R rated monster movie marathon and they caught me as I came back in," Sam said.
"You really need to stop provoking your parents," I sighed.
"They really need to stop getting on me for everything I do," Sam grumbled.
"How did this conversation go from the cute ghost we just met to Sam's parents?" Tucker asked.
I shrugged, "Getting back to the subject, what about you Danny? What did you think of Juliette?"
"I thought that she seemed pretty nice," Danny said. "I just hope that we can help her to fit in more to this time period since she's extremely behind on pretty much everything except her speech."
"Well, we can't really blame her with that one," Tucker said. "She did live in this world centuries ago. She's probably the oldest ghost we've met so far, not counting the ones in the Ghost Zone."
"All ghosts are from the Ghost Zone, Tucker, so that probably doesn't mean much," Sam pointed out.
"I think Tucker meant the ones who existed in the Ghost Zone, not the ghosts who lived here as humans and died," I said. "Though for all we know, all ghosts in the Ghost Zone could've been alive at one point or another."
"Good point," Tucker said. "Still, she's the oldest ghost we've met that we actually had a friendly conversation with."
"Well, there's also Clockwork," I pointed out.
Tucker looked at me and said, "He doesn't count, Master of Time never counts."
"She's the oldest, friendliest, non-all powerful ghost we've met so far," Danny said. "Is that good enough for everyone?"
Tucker, Sam and I chuckled at that.
Then Sam gave a sigh, "I better get home before my parents call the cops to search for me again."
"Again?" I deadpanned.
"Honestly at this point I'm surprised the cops even pick up your parents calls anymore with how often it happens," Tucker said with a smirk.
"Eh, they get paid, so it's a win-win for them," Sam said. "Well, I'll see you guys later for the field trip."
"Bye Sam," I waved as she started walking away.
"See ya, Sam," Danny said, also waving.
"Don't be late, we don't want your parents to end up putting a tracking chip in you," Tucker said, mostly joking.
"Yeah yeah, see you guys tomorrow!" Sam said, putting her hand up and waving a bit without turning around.
"I should head back home too," Tucker said. "Mom is making meatloaf for dinner, and I love her meatloaf."
"You are such a carnivore," I chuckled. "It's a wonder how you and Sam ever got along."
"They had us to keep them from taking off each others heads off," Danny chuckled.
"That's true, they probably never would've friends if it weren't for us," I winked.
Tucker rolled his eyes and said, "Yeah well, as long as Sam doesn't change the menu again, I don't care what she eats. Anyways, see you two tomorrow!"
"See you later, Tucker," I said with a wave as he left.
"Try not to sleep in," Danny said as he waved too.
"We better head home too, before Mom and Dad think we've been kidnapped by ghosts and go on a hunt for us," Danny said. "... and Sam thinks she has parental problems…."
"I wouldn't be surprised if Mom and Dad took the Fenton RV and destroyed half the town's streets just to look for us," I said. "Especially Dad with his driving."
"Yeah… Dad has destroyed a few streets just trying to go get groceries. Which is why Mom doesn't let Dad do the grocery shopping anymore," Danny said with a smile. "I remember when Dad got a visit from the neighbors when he parked the RV on their car, crushing it."
"I'm just glad the police didn't put Dad in jail after that," I said.
"The best part was, the police did try to tow the RV, but the RV was so heavy it ripped the tow crane off the truck," Danny laughed.
"Yeah, cause it's also a tank," I chuckled. "Our parents are so weird. Thankfully we have Jazz and each other to keep ourselves sane."
It was surprisingly peaceful today. There weren't any ghost attacks, so Danny and I had plenty of time to finish our homework and get ready for the field trip tomorrow. I was surprised when I first heard about this field trip. I mean going to the Axion Labs? It's not very often they let kids and teens tour around a secured place like that. Though when I read the field trip info sheet, I saw that we were only getting to see the less secure areas. We'd get to see the public product testing areas where they tested products before they go on the public market, and we'd also get to see what was called the robotics testing lab. I'm sure to Tucker, it's heaven.
It was getting late by the time we finished everything. Danny and I were already in our pajamas when Jazz opened our door.
"Danny, Andy, is it true? Is your science class really going on a field trip to the Axion Labs?" Jazz asked.
"Jazz, why do you keep coming into our room without knocking?" Danny sighed. "I know you're our sister, but a little privacy would've been nice." Then he looked down at Jazz's hands. "... What are you holding behind your back?"
"Firstly I'll answer your question. The reason I come in without knocking is because if I knock, it would give you a chance to turn me away or lock the door. By coming in suddenly, it removes those chances," Jazz said.
"Heh, Jazz is right you know," I said. "It's sibling psychology 101."
"Ugh, you two read way too many books," Danny grumbled.
"As for what I'm holding behind my back, there are actually two things," Jazz said. "One is something I wanted to show you, and the other… well, I'm not going to say. As for the thing I wanted to show you, it relates to your field trip tomorrow."
Jazz brought her right hand in front of her showing a piece of paper. "Did you both know that Axion Labs is owned by Vlad? He bought it last year, and since then has started quite a few new 'ground breaking' projects which I'm sure have absolutely nothing to do with the Ghost Zone…"
Danny and I both frowned at this.
"Vlad bought the Axion Labs?" Danny frowned. "Isn't that where Valerie's dad works at?"
"It's as if he's everywhere," I sighed. "Though I have to wonder why he got Skulker to steal nanobots from there if he owned the place."
"Maybe for the insurance claim of it being stolen?" Jazz shrugged. "I mean nanobots probably cost a pretty penny and if they were stolen instead of just taking them, he could get his money back on top of having the nanobots."
"That's how the rich stay rich," Danny sighed.
I frowned a bit before I said, "Well… I'm sure we'll be fine. I don't think Vlad is out for our heads, even after what happened last time. He seems pretty set on taking Danny and me alive. Besides, Vlad probably owns a lot of companies and factories and whatnot, I don't think he'll be there just because our school is going on a tour there."
"I just wanted you two to be on your guards, alright? If anything seems out of place, don't write it off," Jazz said, concern evident in her voice.
"We'll be fine Jazz," Danny said. "We've survived worse."
Jazz gave a small frown before she said, "Alright, just be careful."
"Thanks for your concern, Jazz," I said with a small smile. "I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the both of us."
"Good, now I'll get going," Jazz said as she started to back up, not letting us see the other object behind her back.
Unfortunately, she didn't see the corner of the desk behind her and tripped over it. She flailed, trying to rebalance herself, but in the process, she dropped what was behind her back, making it clear to see that she had been carrying Bearbert, the evil Einstein-styled teddy bear that had haunted me since I was a child.
"Jazz! What are you doing with Bearbert in our room?" I almost shouted. "I don't want it trying to cut me in my sleep again!"
"Bro, relax, it's just a teddy bear," Danny said as he caught Jazz before she fell over.
"That's what they want you to think!" I hissed. "They try to act innocent with their cute looks, and when you're least expecting it, they'll shiv you in your sleep, or cause an 'unfortunate accident'."
"Thank you Danny," Jazz said as she reached down and picked up Bearbert. "As for you, Andy, I'm tired of you freaking out about Bearbert. It's time I finally find a way to break you of your fear of teddy bears."
"You've been trying for years, Jazz," I said, crossing my arms, keeping my eyes on that evil bear in her arms.
"Well, I think it's time to go to drastic measures," Jazz said, a determined look filling her eyes. "I'm gonna start working on something that will definitely help break your fear of teddy bears."
"Why not just duct tape a teddy bear to his hands so he can't toss it away or drop it?" Danny suggested. I could see him trying his hardest not to crack a smile, but there was still a small smirk.
I glared, "I'd probably burn it with my ghost ray."
"Dad probably has ghost proof duct tape down in the lab," Danny responded. "If not, I'm sure he'd love to make something as versatile as ghost proof duct tape. He could call it Fenton Ghost Tape."
"Then I'd probably turn into a full ghost, cause I'd die with a demonic teddy bear strapped to me for so long," I growled. "And Jazz, whatever you have planned, it's not going to work. I'm never going to stop keeping my guard up around those little spawns of evil."
"We'll see, Andy, we'll see," Jazz said before she started to walk out of the room. "For now, just make sure to keep on the lookout while on your field trip tomorrow. And also make sure to throw out the lunches that Dad is packing for you guys after you leave the house, knowing him he's probably put some anti ghost stuff in your food. It would be safer to just go without lunch tomorrow or try to pick up something on the way to school."
Once Jazz was out of the room with that evil teddy bear, I let out a sigh of relief.
"You and your fear of teddy bears, Andy…" Danny chuckled. "Hopefully we never face an angry ghost that decided to take over a giant teddy bear."
"I would probably just die if we ever did," I grumbled. "And this isn't funny! One of these days those demonic bears will rise up and take over the world, and then we'll see who's laughing! Cause it won't be either of us."
"Then we'll be there to stop them, Andy," Danny said. "Stuffing won't hold up that well to ghost powers. I mean you can create weapons with your powers and I've got my Ghostly Wail trump card if I need to. That's on top of our normal blasts. Besides, I'm sure the government would help us fight the teddy bear menace."
Even though Danny said that to calm me down about the teddy bear thing, I couldn't help but think… Danny has the Ghostly Wail, something that his evil future self had. I haven't seen Danny used his Ghostly Wail since he used it on Dan. I wonder if… if it's dangerous for him to use?
"Last time I used my Ghostly Wail was when that stupid Ghost Writer trapped me in his book and I was surrounded by an army of possessed trees," Danny said with a frown. "At least I know it can be used to wipe out multiple enemies at once."
Oh right, I wasn't with Danny when the Ghost Writer trapped him in that book. "Maybe you shouldn't use it too often. We don't know what the Ghostly Wail does to your body whenever you use it."
"Don't worry, Andy, I'll only use it if it's really needed," Danny responded, trying to reassure me. "It makes my throat sore after I use it, so I can't use it back to back or for too long or I risk losing my voice. Besides, I end up exhausting myself when I use it, so I would lost my ghost form for a bit too."
I nodded, "Yeah, that kind of power should only be an ace in the hole. I kind of wish I could have something like that, I know Future Andy had that weird Foxfire triple attack thing, but I don't know how to use that, I doubt I could any time soon."
"Knowing how fate seems to work with us, you'll learn how to use it when you need to," Danny said. "Besides, you can make solid weapons out of energy, I think that's pretty cool. If you practice with it, I bet you could make bigger, better weapons. Heck, maybe you could even make a ghost version of the Fenton RV or an actual tank at some point once you're skilled enough. Now… let's get some sleep. I want to get some proper rest while there aren't any ghosts attacking the town."
I chuckled at that, "Good point."
"And try not to worry too much about the teddy bear thing," Danny said as he pat my back. "I have my own share of weird fears too."
Suddenly I had that tingly feeling in my head. Again, I felt dizzy as something started coming into my head.
I saw a big vat of boiling liquid. I don't know what kind of substance was boiling. Then I heard voices… unfamiliar voices talking.
"I told you to put it in the patty, not the stupid bread, that makes it all soggy and nasty looking. Nobody's gonna want to eat it!" a young sounding male voice snapped in irritation.
"Why not put it into the drinks, you two, cause the juice in the patty gets pushed out when its cooked. We could also possibly put the cheese in it," Another voice, sounding more reasonable, said.
"But the drinks get more bubbly than usual if we put in there…" A shy sounding feminine voice said.
"So? The sodas here are always bubbly, nobody's gonna notice a few more bubbles."
"... They will if it's glowing…"
"Then dilute it so it doesn't glow, you two. Come on, why do I always have to be the voice of reason? You two just need to think about it from a logical standpoint sometimes," The reasonable voice said.
"She wants to be more about the style instead of practical, so blame her."
"Hey! You're the one who wanted to-"
"Quiet you two! We need to make this work, or we won't get paid. Now shut up and get back to work! This place is going to be crawling with lovesick teens soon."
"Just try to put the potion into everything we can. Replace the oil in the deep fryer with the potion, soak the cheese in it, and even the burgers, mix the potion in with the drinks, anything we can do. The more we effect, the more we get paid from the mullet ghost… and yes, before you three ask, I forgot his name," The reasonable voice said. "And you don't need to tell me his name, that doesn't matter right now. Let's just get the job done."
"Yes ma'am…"
"Yes Ms. Bossy Boots."
I blinked and rubbed my eyes. I didn't see much, just that weird boiling liquid, and voices I never heard before.
"Ah… sorry Danny, I must've spaced out- Danny?" I looked back to see Danny looked confused and shocked. "Danny? Are you okay?"
"What… was that…?" Danny asked in shock.
"What was… what?" I asked. "You looked like you've seen a ghost…" Wait… "I mean... something we don't normally see on a daily basis."
"It wasn't so much what I saw… but what I heard…" Danny frowned.
I raised an eyebrow, "Heard?" He couldn't possibly mean the vision I just had, could he?
"There were three or four voices talking about something about a potion…?" Danny said, sounding extremely confused. "Again… what just happened?"
No way… he saw that? How? Danny never had visions before, it was always just me. Should I tell him? Should I try to hide it? … Ugh, I wish I had a vision about that right now. I need to figure this out, how it works, why Danny was able to see that vision when he couldn't see any visions with me before… Of course, I don't think I should keep this hidden from him. If it happens again, I don't want Danny thinking he's gone crazy or something.
"Uh, well… I think you-" I began to say when Danny interrupted me.
"You know what? It's late, and I'm probably starting to see things due to lack of sleep. How about you tell me your idea tomorrow morning?" Danny said with a yawn.
I frowned, but nodded, "Okay, just don't think too much about it right now." That's my job after all.
"I'm gonna go brush my teeth since I was snacking while we were doing our homework, then I'll hit the hay," Danny said with a much bigger yawn than before, I could almost feel his exhaustion in that yawn.
I sat on my bed and began thinking. That vision… there was only one again this time, and I only heard voices while looking at some weird liquid boiling. The voices called it… a potion? They were hired to put the potion into the food… for teenagers? I'm not sure what's going on, but I better keep an eye out on the burger restaurants since they mentioned patties. For now, I'll just worry about surviving the field trip tomorrow.
OMNISENSE95: DarkFoxKit: I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I assume you're asking how many episodes it is from where we are now to Reality Check. And looking at the episode list on Google, we're about 8 episodes away from it now.
ZAFT Prime: Darkzdragon 'Onyx': We definitely have found one we enjoy. We've been binge-ing the heck out of Fairy Tail. We have been having a slight bit difficulty getting into writing, but we write when we feel up to it. We didn't necessarily write ourselves into a whole, but we definitely strained ourselves, nearly burning ourselves out. The divergent visions was actually partially inspired by Garnet from Steven Universe where she can see possibilities in the future that may or may not happen. It's fine if you use it in your story, I mean we aren't the creators of that idea.
Oh and a question for you since you write a Gundam Seed fanfic, where would you prefer to be born? Plants or Earth?
Jewel moonstone: DarkFoxKit: My favorite gift? Well, I had quite a few gifts for Christmas from my friends, but I guess my favorite are the video games I can play.
Darkzdragon 'Onyx'; My favorite gift? I honestly really didn't get a Christmas Gift per say, my family is Jewish and I'm not religious. My favorite gift of the end of the year was the four games I got during Black Friday for half off on all.
KorrieChan: DarkFoxKit: Ah, well… a big reason why we didn't have Andy go into Christmas Story in the first place was because we didn't want to have to deal with rhyming. Neither of us are good with rhyming, and we've been having trouble figuring out how Andy would fit into the book. So we decided to have a completely separate story for Andy in the episode instead. As for Danny, not much has changed from the original episode, just that the Ghost Writer's version of Andy was there too.
Kitty: Andy: … What?
DarkFoxKit: Shhhhh! We don't talk about that series with Andy in the room! And what do you mean you don't know what to ship? Who are you shipping anyways? ^^' Oooh, that was a nice musical number for the Fenton twins. XD Would've been hilarious to see as a video or something.
Cloud4012: DarkFoxKit: Andy's always questioning himself, he hesitates too much, which is why Danny has to help him out when it comes to battling. Andy doesn't hate Paulina anymore, but he's not her friend either, at least not yet.
ApocalypseKing: Darkzdragon 'Onyx': You'll have to wait and see. Perhaps Andy and Valerie are soul mates :P but seriously, we don't have any actually solid plans for a relationship right now. Andy probably would also avoid a serious relationship right now as it would most likely interfere with his already busy schedule.
DarkFoxKit: Andy just naturally thinks like an adult sometimes, perhaps it's part of his 'family genius' genes or something. I mean his mother is a genius with ghost fighting and inventing. His father is childish, but also a great inventor and a genius in his own way. His sister is similar to his mother, being a good fighter and very book smart, but also eccentric like their father. Danny's also a genius in his own way, he learned how to adapt quickly as a half ghost superhero and how to use his powers, he's already catching up to Vlad pretty quickly in under a year, or I assume so. The time in the DP series is a bit vague. So Andy has his own genius quirks, but don't worry, despite this, Andy is still a 14 year old boy. XP
Luna Lillyth: Darkzdragon 'Onyx': Firstly, we didn't want to do all that dang rhyming, there is no way in heck I'm doing an entire chapter like that. Secondly, we felt it would be a better experience to give Andy a story of his own that way we aren't always following Danny and the show around.
Vendicor: DarkFoxKit: Yeah, I don't plan on abandoning this story. It's one of my best works, and it's a story I've put a lot of thought into before even writing it. It's too early to quit. We are taking it slow though, since our motivation for writing is a bit low at the moment, that and life keeps making us too busy to write much lately. And thank you, it's always nice to hear a fan loving one of my works.
seruis: Darkzdragon 'Onyx': Glad you found the time to read this. We felt a double update was appropriate due to how long it had been since we had last updated. Juliette would probably enjoy the hug. The multi-vision thing was inspired by Garnet's Future Vision, if you don't know who Garnet is, you are immediately required to leave this page and go binge watch Steven Universe.
pajamaghost: DarkFoxKit: Heh, thank you. I've written the first story myself, and had some help from Key2DestNE during the movie chapters. I've written the earlier chapters of the second book, and just recently had Onyx here helping me out. I think the story became better since then. The inspiration to incorporate an OC into a story like this was inspired from another OC-centric fanfiction I've read a while back called Dreamin of Sunshine, a Naruto fanfic. I haven't checked it out recently, but it's what gave me the idea to make an OC like Andy. The twin part was mostly from me wanting to write with Danny, but also not Danny. Thank you for your support!
Mana: DarkFoxKit: It's okay, we haven't had much time to write ourselves lately. Oh you were fine, I was just typing out my own thoughts as to why Andy didn't get sucked into the book. Danny's not really scared of Bearbert, that was just a funny little thing at the end, by this point Danny's fought scarier things then a chainsaw wielding Bearbert, but Andy was only a little boy when Jazz pulled that little prank on him. Years goes by like days for ghosts, since they're pretty much immortal beings. Time is also a bit screwy in the Ghost Zone, so Juliette's probably guessing or she heard that's how long she's been in the Ghost Zone from Clockwork or another ghost she interacted with.
Flirting with Disaster is indeed an interesting plot, something that we may or may not have… had fun with it. XD It's too bad we couldn't have posted it on February though, but life happened…
I heard that Butch left Nickelodeon, and Nick still holds the rights to Danny Phantom. I don't think we're getting a continuation of DP anymore, if anything we may or may not get a reboot, and the reboot may just be an awful Teen Titans Go reboot that would just completely butcher the original series. If that was the case, I'd rather the series stayed dead instead of reviving it into a zombie.
Oooh, what do you think Andy would become by the time he's 18? Any thoughts?
Have you been reading Pearl84's Danny Phantom fanfiction? They did a wonderful job with what could happen after Phantom Planet.
If it were up to me? Well, I'd probably want to delete everything that happened in Phantom Planet and continue the series as how it was intended to be before Butch was forced to end it prematurely.
Andy: I don't know, I haven't had much time to think about college with all the heck that's been happening in my life. I mean I was interested in biology, but I don't think I'd want to be a biologist. Maybe I'll just write or something.
FireSoulKid: Darkzdragon 'Onyx': The reason we don't update often is because the more we update, the more we go through chapters which means we have to push ourselves much harder for that story and we don't want to burn ourselves out. We have also been trying to focus on Child of Mew in order to finish it so we can focus on other stories.
DarkFoxKit: You and another said that this one is better than Child of Mew, but at least you're polite about it. It's fine if you prefer this one over the other one, but I don't like it when people just call the other one I do garbage just because they didn't like it or they prefer another story. So thank you for not calling my other story garbage.
Guest: DarkFoxKit: Heh, thank you. I've put a lot of thought when I started writing Andy in this story. I'm glad to see how well received Andy has been with the fans.
