Author's Note: Here is the last and final chapter of "Kindred Spirits Reunite!"


Epilogue

Two weeks had passed since Danielle had been at the Fenton household and she was currently her alter ego, Dani Phantom, as she flew over the city of Amity Park on her way to meet her cousin over town hall. Despite having to stay low for the past two weeks; she still kept her promise to Danny so that her secret won't be discovered. She also found out from Danny that Valerie was still looking for her since she believes that she is related to the infamous Ghost Boy of Amity Park. She had spent most of her time reading Danny's ghost files since she couldn't go out and help him with any ghost troubles until she had established herself with her new life. She was also admitted to Casper High for her first day on the new school week where she had joined Danny and his friends in class. However on that first day, Dash Baxter mistook her for Danny and shoved her into her own locker. When he found out that he made a mistake in identity and took a good look at Danny and Danielle side-by-side that he had knocked himself out by running into an open locker as he tried to get away from them. Mr. Lancer was also surprised by the appearance of Danielle that he shouted 'Through the Looking-Glass,' as she and Danny walked by him. Despite these incidents, she was able to fit in despite Sam and Tucker not fully trusting her enough but they were growing to accept her for who she is. She also looked at some of the ghost catching gadgets to watch out for from Danny, Jazz, and anything her Uncle Jack had made. She also had time to hone her powers with Danny in the basement while she kept low for those two weeks, which was a welcome sight for her since she was bored to death without using her powers on other specters. Danny seemed to get better at overshadowing, they almost mastered duplication (except they couldn't completely spilt themselves or hold their doubles apart for no longer than a few seconds), and that day still makes her laugh.


It was a week ago while she, Danny, Sam, and Tucker were in the basement of Fenton Works honing her and Danny's powers. After a round of showing off, Tucker made one comment that made her upset and seemed to tick Danny off.

"That was great, but I wonder who is superior since a clone should be better than its original," Tucker said after getting their max flying speed, which had improved slightly, only to meet a disgruntled Sam, a saddened Dani, and an annoyed Danny.

Danny soon overshadowed Tucker before he could protest and to everyone's surprise; Tucker sounded like his old self even with Danny overshadowing him.

"Let's see," as the overshadowed Tucker said as he checks his PDA. "I don't have any dates this week and I wonder if I could ask Sam," Dani was stifling to hold back a laugh while Sam seemed torn between annoyance and laughter while he talked as if they weren't present. "Maybe I can ask Danielle," Dani stops laughing at the statement with a look as if she ate a lemon. "Maybe not since it would be like dating my best friend, but wait! Sam's also my best friend! Oh, man! Dateless again!" the laughter from Dani had resumed but it was harder. "I could ask Star," his face fell on the remark, "or not. 'Satellite' Star won't give me the time of day since I'm seen as 'Bad Luck' Tuck. Oops, my memory is full and I wonder what I could delete?" Dani now was laughing so hard that she fell on her back even though she was still hovering. "My pictures? Better not. My schedule? No. Danny's schedule? Maybe. Oh wait! My Doomed codes, or not. Oops!" he had 'accidentally' deleted the codes. "Oh well, I could always get them out of the Recycling Bin. Oh, crud! I deleted them. Oh no!" he was on his knees with his hands on the side of his head as Dani's laughter became so hard that she had reverted back to her human form as she landed on the ground flat on her back while she kicked her legs in the air. Sam on the other hand still had the same expression but anyone could tell that she was enjoying this since Tucker needs to know when to keep his big mouth shut. "'Bad Luck' Tuck strikes again!" Danny had come out of Tucker, who was dazed, as he landed beside Danielle, who was recovering from her round of laughter.

"Dude," Tucker said having remembered what happened just before he was overshadowed, "that was not cool!"

"Serves you right!" Danielle exclaimed as she stood up. "Just be glad that Danny didn't overshadow you in public and I don't take kindly to being called a clone!"

Ever since they had returned from Wisconsin, they all made a pact, Jazz included, not to call Danielle a clone since she and Danny found it degrading.

"Hey!" Tucker said as he pointed an accusing finger at Danny after checking his PDA. "You deleted all of my Doomed codes!"

"Sam could always give you them," Danny shrugged his shoulders as he tried to hide a smirk.

"Maybe," there was a tone in Sam's voice as if she had enjoyed Danny's show of using Tucker as a human puppet, "you should apologize to Danielle. No offense Danielle," as she turns her attention to Danielle, "but I don't trust you fully and I also can't stand it when someone is insulted. Even if they are a clone of Danny."

"None taken," Danielle replied and the way Sam said it; it wasn't degrading for both her and Danny since her statement wasn't considered an insult.


That day, Tucker didn't speak to Danny, Sam, nor her since it took nearly a week for Sam to give him the codes he had lost and "suggested" that he put a password on them. That day would be one of those days that she will keep close to her heart; however, now wasn't the time to reminisce since she soon spotted her cousin as his alter ego, Danny Phantom, on top of town hall.

"Any trouble?" he asked as she landed in front of him.

"Ran into some of Walker's goons, Klemper wanted to be my friend, Desiree granted a few dumb wishes, and the Lunch Lady Ghost haunted the Nasty Burger. How about you?" she replied as she readjusted the strap that held her Fenton Thermos and brushed a stray strand of hair out of her face.

"The Box Ghost being his annoying self again, Johnny 13 causing trouble with Kitty and his Shadow, Skulker after my pelt again, and some of Walker's goons; same old troubles," Danny replied with his hands crossed over his chest.

She noted the bruises on his face and guessed that Skulker was the main culprit that caused them. She also had a few bruises but not as bad as Danny's were. Just then an icy blue mist escaped their mouths and they looked around to see if a ghost was present.

"Look Danny," Dani pointed out near the ground.

They saw a ghost dressed in white with a skull face phasing into town hall and Danny had a bad feeling about this from deep within his gut.

"That looks like Walker and I have a bad feeling about this," Danny said before they phased through the roof tuning invisible.

Town hall was filled to capacity with the local news stations covering the meeting. They both flew unseen towards the stage where the mayor stood in front of a podium awaiting to make a speech. Danny didn't know what Walker was planning and his last plan to turn all of Amity Park against him worked when Walker overshadowed the mayor along with several other students and faculty members of Casper High.

"Citizens of Amity Park, I would like to address the current situation about the damages that the Ghost Boy and other specters have caused to our city," he pauses for a moment as he shakes his head. "As you know, he has taken me hostage and I'm offering a reward for his capture. Upon his capture, I'll personally be his judge, executioner, jury, executioner, jailer, and if necessarily, executioner."

"That's Walker alright," Danny said in a whisper.

"How do you know?" Dani asked.

"That's his M.O."

"What do you plan to do with this entire meeting being televised live?"

"Make Walker confess for framing me for taking the mayor hostage, and I'm going to need your help," he points to the microphone that the mayor was talking in and Dani understood what to do next as she cracked a smile.

Danny flew down to the stage and waited for the right moment to pounce.

"He has caused nothing by damage to our fair city and upon his capture I'll personally be his--"

"Hey Walker!" Danny shouted cutting into his speech while the crowd gasped as he appeared. "I have your execution right," he charges up for an attack and blasts the mayor in the head, "here!"

The blasts knocks a white clothed ghost out of the mayor, who fell onto his podium looking dazed. The mayor's head soon cleared just as a gust of wind came by him. That gust of wind apparently was from Danny Phantom and the white clothed ghost takes him into a tight chokehold before he could attack the ghost. The mayor runs off the stage only to fall flat on his face.

"I got you now, Ghost Boy!" the voice came from Jack Fenton and he was holding a bazooka-type weapon along with Maddie, who also had one.

They both fired but nothing came out of their weapons; much to the relief to Danny.

"You forgot to charge them, didn't you?" Maddie asked annoyed that Jack had forgotten to charge them, again.

"You know Walker," Danny spoke in a low voice only Walker could hear, "sooner or later they're going to find out that you framed me by overshadowing the mayor."

"They're not going to believe you since they see you as public enemy number one and the only place you would be safe is safely inside my jail committing to your sentence of one thousand years plus two thousand for your escape plus another five thousand for fleeing an arrest," Walker replied as he tightened his grip.

"It's also against the rules for sending someone into prison without a trial."

"I make the rules in the Ghost Zone and the rules will be followed by the book!"

"You are going to get demoted out of your prison for your unfair rules, Walker," Danny wanted to keep him talking since sooner or later Walker was going to spill the beans on what happened earlier and/or his current plans to turn Amity Park against him.

"You will be public enemy number one of your town when I'm through with you again," as he ignored Danny's statement, "and no one is going to believe you when I make the mayor execute an order to use any force necessarily to bring you in!"

"Overshadow the mayor again, Ghost!" Jack roared as he got onto the stage apparently having overheard their conversation. "I, Jack Fenton, won't allow it!" he pulls out a weapon which happens to be the Fenton Ghost Fisher but it was tangled up at the reel.

Walker lets out a growl before he turns back to Danny and he hits his head on something. "Huh?" Walker was confused at what he had hit and it was a microphone being held up by an invisible force. He pulls on the microphone only to feel another force pulling in the opposite direction.

"You know Walker," Danny said after a chuckle, "you just confessed to your crimes and I should be, what's the word, exonerated from my crimes that you framed me for." Walker seemed to loosen his grip on Danny slightly as he released the microphone as his attention turned back to Danny as his voice became no more than a whisper, "I'm also not alone."

"An accomplice?" Walker questioned and the microphone, as if on cue, fell to the ground with a thud, which appeared to have been turned off since there wasn't a feedback sound.

A glowing green light appeared in Walker's face followed by a voice in singsong fashion, "Peek-a-boo." It sounded female and a body materialized in front of Walker hanging upside-down. The person was indeed female and she looked like the one Walker was holding, "I see you."

She opens fire on Walker and he releases Danny from his chokehold as the blast sends him into the podium while Jack dodged out of the way while he continues to untangle the reel on the Fenton Ghost Fisher. The female ghost uprights herself and her appearance sparks an uproar of gasps from the crowd as she lands near Danny.

"Another one!" Jack cried out in shock as he stood up.

"It's against the rules to hit the warden, Girly," Walker said as if unfazed by the attack as he stood up.

"The name is Dani Phantom. That's Dani, with an 'I,'" she points to her eye as if to emphasize her statement.

"Regardless your name, I'll be taking both of you in."

"Take this!" Danny shouted as they both launched an ecto-blast only to be blocked by ghosts dress in riot gear.

"Come along peacefully and I'll make sure that your sentence is commuted."

"Hey, Walker!" Dani called out as if taunting him. "Is there anything in the rules about being beaten by a girl?"

"Is there?" Walker questioned as he took out his rule book to check.

Danny and Dani took this as the perfect distraction to attack. Danny flew towards Walker's goons while Dani phased through the stage. Danny dove into the stage just before he hit the wall of shields and appeared behind them just as he unleashed a charged ecto-blast on them. The blast sends them flying onto the ground into a big pile just as Dani appeared in front of Walker slamming his book on his finger before he could register that his men had been taken out.

"Is now," before she throws Walker towards his goons before she and Danny unleashed a combined charged ecto-blast on him.

Walker lands with a loud thud on top of his own men.

"It's been fun Walker, but it's time that you are taken back to your prison," Danny said as he pulled out his Fenton Thermos while Dani followed suit as they turned on the Thermoses while they let off an icy blue light.

"Hey!" Jack shouted at the sight of the Thermoses. "They have my Thermos!"

One by one, each of Walker's goons were captured into the Thermos leaving a very stubborn Walker fighting to not be captured.

"You haven't seen the last of me!" Walker screamed as he fought to not be captured. "I'll be back and I'll have both of your ectoplasm hides in my prison for the rest of your afterlife!" his grip began to loosen before he looses his grip. "You hear me! I… will… be… back!" his last words faded as he was sucked into Dani's Thermos and they both capped them.

"I got you now, Ghost Twins!" their attention turned to Jack and he had another weapon in his hand. He fired it, which happens to be the Jack-A-Nine-Tails, but he misses due to his terrible aim.

"Sorry Jack but," Danny said as he looks at his father.

"We have to go," Dani finished and they both flew off phasing through the ceiling leaving an infuriated Jack Fenton behind shaking his fist at them.

"Yeah, you two better run; I mean fly!" he shouts at them as they leave.


"That was the scene exactly two weeks ago today," the newscaster said after the video ended as she shuffled her papers. "According to our video experts, our beloved mayor had been possessed by a ghost that forced our infamous Ghost Boy, Danny Phantom, into taking him hostage on an earlier charge. The video confession by the ghost in the video clears Danny Phantom of all charges for taking the mayor hostage; however, this does not include damages done to our city for any ghost attacks."

"In other news, Danny Phantom appears to have a new ally in his fight to protect our fair city," a picture of Dani Phantom appears on the screen, but they spelled it as 'Danni Phantom.' "Meet Dani Phantom and according to our experts; they appear to be twins. The newly dubbed 'Phantom Twins' by several eyewitnesses from the scene have also spotted them throughout various parts of our city over the next few days together and separate. We, your local news team, wish them the best of luck in protecting our city from malevolent forces for future years to come and stay tuned to your local news station for more news on their exploits!"

"I don't believe that they had to misspell my name! And naming us twins!" Danielle explained in disbelief that her name had been misspelled and the fact they had been called twins as the news switches to the weather.

"It's better than being named a name you dislike," Danny pointed out referring to the name 'Inviso-Bill.'

"Sooner or later I'm going to have to point that out to them," she huffed as she crossed her hands over her chest.

"Just be glad that you said your name so they didn't give you one that you dislike. I'm not sure about the twins idea, but I think you should go with it since the both of you are indeed twins. Even though you are not 'technically' brother and sister," Jazz pointed out as she sipped her glass of tea before returning to her child psychology book.

"I guess you're right Jazz," Danny said just as his and Danielle's Ghost Sense went off.

"Ghosts?" Jazz questioned and they both nodded.

They were lucky that Jack and Maddie weren't home since they had gone out to a disco club for an all-night dance contest. Danny and Danielle both transformed and flew out of Fenton Works while they each took a Fenton Thermos before they left to hunt for any nearby ghost(s).

"I just hope that you two stay kindred spirits and don't get at each other's throats. However, as with any partnership, there's bound to be plenty of bumps along the way and I'm sure that you two will overcome those obstacles," Jazz thought as she kept her nose in her book.

Unbeknownst to her, she was being watch but not by a person. This viewer lurks in another realm known as the Ghost Zone, a place with an endless number of doors and realms that the ghosts inhabit. His home is like the inside of a clock and for a good reason. He is known as Clockwork and he can control time as well as see into the future.

"You are so right my soon to be psychologist," he spoke as it was an aside in a Shakespearian play while a smile creeps onto his face. "They will have plenty of obstacles to overcome for many years to come," his form shifts from that of an adult to that of an elderly man. "They will become the most wanted ghosts in the Ghost Zone," a picture appears on the portal that he was watching that shows wanted posters of the two Phantoms, "the ambition of a Huntress," it changes to another scene in which a picture of Danny Phantom is ripped off of a wall only to be replaced by a recent newspaper clipping of the most recent exploits of them, "and have their own fans that love them," the final scene shows two lockers each paying homage to them but only to one of them while the other had the other Phantom.

He sighs (if ghosts can sigh) as his form shifts again to that of a child while waving his staff. The scene shows the present where the two Phantoms were fighting against a ghost that appeared to have combined multiple machines together into one big mechanical suit of some sort. The ghost then started to gloat after knocking one of them into the air while he used out of date lingo.

Clockwork waves his staff again fast forwarding the battle in which the two were victorious in capturing the ghost. He cracks a smile on his face as the two congratulate each other on a job well done. The scenes fast forward again showing them having fun with each other and friends, fighting ghosts together like a well-oiled machine, and, of course, their arguments they will have but they will always come back together to fight as a team.

"Everything is going like should be; however," his form changes back to an adult as his attention turns to a Thermos that was all dented up from the inside as a muffled voice could be heard, "there is one more trial that you must go through Danny Phantom before you can rest assure that any evil that you have fears about is dealt with. As for you Dani, your future runs parallel to his, but sadly I'm not responsible for watching over yours. However," he cracks a smile as he re-watches the event in the Fenton household that happened two weeks ago, "some things are meant to happen even the Observants can't stop. Your life will be normal despite, as Danny would put it, one seriously crazed-up fruit loop would say."

"I know I cheated, but," he states with a smile as he turns to see two figures appear. The only thing strange about them was that they had a single eye for a head. On the screen behind Clockwork, another scene was being played out showing an adult version of the two Phantoms. The two split themselves into four before unleashing a devastating combination of charged ecto-blasts and Ghostly Wails on an unseen enemy. "I know everything!"


Post Author's Note: How'd you like it? I extended the last of the chapter so I didn't end on one of Jazz's dialogues again. Do I have a sequel planned? Maybe if I get a decent plot started without having to be unoriginal. Yeah, I was mean to Tucker but he needs to know when to keep his big mouth shut.

Here are some closing thoughts for this 'fic:

Instead of Dani coming back for a visit (like most of them are with her) I decided to give her a problem that could cause her to loose her life; hense the rapid aging program as said in Chapter 2 and hinted in Chapter 1 that aged her to Danny's age.

It was originally entitled 'The Rebirth of Dani Phantom' but I scratched that idea since the title would be misleading.

I had a lot of fun writing it and tried to get enough humor into it as I could.
