Marlon Webb: The milk's gone bad!
Tucker: Whaah? *sees milk with gun* Oh fuck!
Me: *watches milk chase Tucker* Thug life.
Victoria: Yay vines! I wanna join in!
Me: Please do.
Victoria: *looks at Danny* Damn Daniel!
Danny: Oh netherworld.
Victoria: Back at it with those tone arms!
Danny: What the fuck?!
Victoria: All fangirls get him!
Fangirls: *chase Danny*
Fanboys: What about us?
Me: *facepalms* Why did she do that? Does she realize what she just did?
Tucker: *sighs* I don't even know...
Sam: *rolls her eyes* Let the story begin…
Danny woke up to the sound of kids packing. He yawned and looked over at Draco. "Why's everyone packing?"
Draco turned to look at him. "Just about everyone is going home tomorrow for Winter break."
"Shit! That's tomorrow?!" Danny jumped out of bed and dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. "Thanks for telling me!"
"Sure thing."
Danny quickly grabbed everything he owned and messily shoved it all into his bag. He let his hair stay messy because he didn't care. He gestured Cujo to follow him, and the duo found Sam and Tucker. "Hey you two! Did you guys pack for tomorrow?"
"Yep." Tucker replied. "How about you?"
"Just did a minute ago. Draco reminded me."
"Well it's a good thing he did. We're leaving this afternoon because we live in America." Sam informed the boys.
"What?!" They exclaimed in unison.
"I gotta go say goodbye to all of my house buddies!" Tucker said before leaving. Danny looked at Sam as he pet Cujo.
"Are we taking the train to London and then using floo powder to teleport to Amity Park or are we doing something else?"
"We're using floo powder in Dumbledore's office." Sam answered. "And he is gonna give us each a bag of extra floo powder, so don't worry about not being able to get more wizarding candy."
"Sweet! Thanks Sam!"
"Your welcome. Anyway, I have to go eat breakfast. See you at Dumbledore's office." With that, Sam left as well. Danny sighed and looked at Cujo.
"Wanna go for a flight?" He suggested. Cujo barked and wagged his tail. The young halfa laughed. "I'll take that as a yes."
*linebreak*
"Yay! Danny's gonna be home tonight!" Came a squeal from the second floor of the Fenton house. Jack and Maddie jumped in their seats, a little startled. But when the words sank in, they smiled. They put the inventions that they were working on and went upstairs.
"What time is he coming you two?" Maddie asked as she and her husband walked into the room. Dani and her duplicate smiled at them.
"He's coming at five!" The young halfa and her duplicate squealed in unison.
"HE IS?!" Jack boasted. "THAT'S GREAT! NOW I CAN SHOW PHANTOM MY NEW INVENTIONS!"
Maddie rolled her eyes. "Perhaps we could all go out tonight as a celebration of their arrival. How does that sound?"
"That sounds great!" The girls answered in sync. Maddie smiled.
"It's settled then."
"Aww! I was hoping to show Phantom some of my new weapons!" Jack whined.
"Now sweetie, they have been gone for four months. They need to relax when they get home. I'm sure Phantom would love to see what you made, but give him time to settle in, okay?"
"Okayyy…"
"I can't wait to see my cousin!" Danielle, the duplicate, said as she and Dani completely ignored the mini conversation that the adults were having.
"I can't wait to see mine either!" Dani added while nodding in agreement. "He has so many spells to teach me! It's gonna be a fun Christmas!"
"Why don't you two clean up the room so when they get home they will be comfortable, especially since this is their room." Maddie suggested. The girls nodded.
"We will!"
*linebreak*
Danny walked up to Harry and Ron, who were playing wizard's chess. "Hey you two."
They looked at him. "Hey Danny."
"You guys doing anything exciting for Christmas?"
"I was going to, but my parents decided to go visit family in Romania." Ron shrugged.
"I'm staying here at school as well. I don't really want to go back to my aunt and uncle for the holidays, especially since we didn't part on good terms." Harry said. Danny looked at him with sympathy.
"That sucks mate."
"Don't worry about it. Are you going anywhere?"
"Yeah. Sam, Tucker, and I are going back home to visit our families. Sam is dreading it though, and I don't blame her. Tucker is extremely excited to see his family and not have to be confined at night."
"Confined? What do you mean?"
"He likes to leave his home late at night and meet up with me at the park. As for me, I sneak out of my dorm all the time and never get caught by Filch or any of the Professors. It's kinda fun really."
"You sneak out?" Ron questioned. Danny nodded. "And you haven't been caught once?"
"Nope."
"That's wicked! How do you manage to pull that off?"
"Living in the city gives people a decent amount of hiding skills. Especially when the city is Amity Park."
"What's so special about your city?"
Danny was about to answer when Sir Nicholas flew up to them, causing the young halfa's ghost sense to go off with his presence. "The city Sir Danny lives in is constantly being overrun by powerful ghosts that are able to do things you couldn't even imagine. Many of them can even bend reality, control others, and destroy anything that they see. It's amazing how anyone survive there at all, considering how dangerous it is there, even if there are ghost hunters living there."
Ron and Harry's eyes widened. Harry looked at Danny. "You live in a town like that?!"
Danny laughed. "Yeah I do, but Sir Nicholas is exaggerating about the power the ghosts have. Only five of them can actually bend reality. The others can use telekinesis and do have supernatural powers, but they're for the most part driven by an obsession."
"That's still pretty scary."
"If you say so. Anyway, I came here to say goodbye to you two before leaving. And since I'm supposed to leave at four five, and that is in ten minutes, I should be heading out. See you guys after vacation!" The young halfa said before departing. He could hear them say bye as he was walking out of the Great Hall and back to his dorm to grab his bag. He slipped it onto his back and picked up Cujo. As he was about to leave, someone tapped his shoulder. He turned to see a familiar blond. "Hey Draco. What's up?"
Draco handed him a wrapped present. "Don't tell anyone in our house. It would ruin my reputation."
Danny smiled. "Thanks Draco." He pretended to grab something from his pocket and handed the boy an ice crystal. "Here. It's made from dead ice, so it won't melt."
"T-thanks."
Danny looked at his watch. "Shit! I gotta go. See you after vacation!" Danny ran out of the dorm and all the way to Dumbledore's office, careful not to wake Cujo up. When he reached his destination, he handed Tucker the ghost puppy and leaned over, gasping for breath. "Never… running… that fast… again…"
Sam and Tucker looked at him, trying not to laugh. But they were failing miserably. After a few seconds of controlled snorts, they bursted out laughing. That made the young halfa turn red as a lobster in the face then glare at them. But they didn't care. His face only made them laugh even more. It wasn't until Danny's eyes were glowing their famous toxic green that they stopped. When they did, the young ghost hybrid took a deep breath, making his eyes normal just in time as Dumbledore walked in with Victoria.
"Alright, with all four of you here, I believe that it's time to send you home." The elder wizard said. The children nodded and followed him over to the fireplace. He turned to them. "Who would like to go first?" He asked. Victoria raised her hand and walked up to him. She grabbed a handful of floo powder in one hand and grabbed a pouch in the other. Then she walked into the fireplace and threw the handful of floo powder to the ground, shouting, "Denver, Colorado!" She disappeared in the green flames. The Amity trio did the same steps, only they shouted out "Amity Park" instead of Denver, Colorado.
When they arrived back in their hometown, Danny ghost sense went off like crazy. He groaned. "I was hoping to get a break from that."
Tucker snickered. "Dude, you came from a school full of ghosts back to the most haunted city known on the planet. What were you possibly expecting? No, let me rephrase that. What else could you expect? You're going to surrounded by them your entire life, so stop acting like it's a surprise."
Sam whistled. "Wow Tucker, you said something intelligent for once. You must've been brainwashed or something." She joked. The boys rolled their eyes, used to her extremely insulting jokes. They were completely unfazed by them now, having heard them all before, and they knew that the joke she made wasn't going to be her last. The boys started walking while she was in the middle of laughing at her own joke. It took her a moment to realize their absence. She glared and ran after them. "What the hell you two?!"
The boys didn't even flinch when she hit them in the back of the head. Why would they? Yeah sure, it did hurt, but the pain was minor compared to what they have been through. So like the badasses they were, they shrugged it off like it was nothing. Danny simply glanced at her for a second then sighed. "Sam, I thought that you would be used to us walking away from you by now. We do it all the time."
"Well then maybe you two should get a room then." Sam spat back. The boys froze and turned towards her.
"You're not implying what I think you're implying, are you?" Danny questioned, glaring at the goth. She smirked.
"So what if I am?"
"So what if you are?! SO WHAT IF YOU ARE? Sam, Tucker is like a brother to me! We aren't into one another! Even if we're not actually related by blood, we'd consider that incest!" The young halfa shouted, flailing his arms in the air.
Tucker looked around nervously, noticing the weird looks coming from multiple strangers. "Danny, calm down. You're drawing attention from people around us." He warned the ghost hybrid in hopes to get him to chill out. Danny took a look around to see that he was right. He placed his arm down to his sides. Tucker sighed in relief before turning to Sam. "Danny is right though. We're brothers, not lovers."
"Then why did you stop calling me and Danny lovebirds?" Sam questioned. Tucker rolled his eyes.
"Because I finally see that you and Danny could never work out. First off, both of you like being in control, which is never good in a relationship, and second, Danny is too bright whereas you are too dark! It wouldn't bode well for Danny to have someone who always makes things depressing because of the alternate timeline he has to deal with. But putting that aside, as I look back on the situation, you never liked him until he gained his powers. You never would have liked him because if he stayed completely human then he would be too normal for your taste. I only started calling you two lovebirds because I noticed that you started to like him. And back then I was so in the moment that I failed to realize that it was due to his new uniqueness. But what I wonder now is why you haven't realized it yourself. You always talk about how you absolutely love unique things and hate anything relevantly normal. You should've realized by now that Danny being a half ghost was the reason that you were drawn to him into wanting to be more than just being his friend."
Sam stood there stunned. She had no idea of what to say. How could she? Everything Tucker had just said was true. There was no denying that. She knew that she liked Danny only for his uniqueness. Heck, she was originally only friends with him because of his family being ghost hunters. After all, before Danny half died, he was simply an ordinary kid with an innocent dream. Or at least, that's how Sam saw it. But how did Tucker, who never seemed like the type of person to find out anything rational or people's true motives just by observing them, find out the pieces to Sam's reasoning for having a thing for the half ghost? It just didn't make sense! But she didn't want Danny to realize that Tucker was telling the truth, so she jabbed a finger into the geek's chest. "You better watch what you say, Foley!" She hissed before turning in the other direction and began walking home. Tucker whistled.
"Well she's definitely angry. I didn't dig too much into her, did I?"
Danny shook his head as he pat Cujo, who was currently sleeping. "She went a little far this time. I was okay with being called clueless because I didn't want her to know that I wasn't interested in her. But blaming you for me not wanting to be with her is a little crazy. At least she's not plotting your demise."
"Haha. True that! I'd be in so much trouble if she was. Anyways, I should probably get going. My parents are having a celebration for my return from school. See you at the Empire's gate of misfortune!"
"You got it Tuck!"
The boys parted ways and headed to their houses. When Danny arrived, along with a duplicate that was in Phantom form, he was engulfed in a hug from his parents and then knocked to the ground by his cousin, who had tackled him in a hug. Cujo was started by this, as he was knocked out of Danny's arms, but he then realized that there was no threat, so he stayed in his puppy form. Danny laughed. "It's nice to see you too, Dani, Danielle, Mom, and Dad. I missed you guys."
"I'm so glad you're back Danny! How's school! What spells did you learn? Are their a lot of explosions in potions? What's transfiguration like? What sports are there? Who's your favorite teacher? Who's your least favorite teacher? What type of food does the student body eat? Is it good? Do you have homework? Are there any crazy pets? Did anything crazy happen? Did any ghosts from the Ghost Zone appear? Did you make friends? How many? What other classes do you take?"
Danny smiled. "We certainly do have one heck of a story to tell."
Me: That's it folks! There will be more on the Amity Trio's vacation in the next chapter, but for now, I hope you enjoyed the story!
Sam: Hold up! What do you mean by "That's it," huh? I am not as petty as you played me out to be!
Me: Bullshit. In the original story, Danny temporarily gets rid of his powers and you acted as if it was the end of the world! You stay mad at him until he says that he is going into the Ghost Zone. And once he gets his powers back, you start getting mushy again! I've seen it all before! You grow to like him after he gained his powers. Also, did you notice how you never took his issues seriously in the beginning? I actually remember that in the first episode Danny was complaining how he had became half ghost, saying how he was now virtually a freak, and then you start complaining how your own parents don't understand you! You started complaining how your parents didn't like the goth you have become when one of your best friends was recently electrocuted and turned into a hybrid of one of the creatures that his parents despised most! He even had to remind you that your parents weren't the issue!
Danny: Yeah, I did have to do that.
Me: You don't deserve Danny, Sam. You are just as shallow as a Paulina. The only difference is that you are a goth that likes to roughhouse and she's an A-lister.
Sam: I'm not as shallow as her! She goes through every fashion trend that comes into style!
Me: Oh shut up. You do the same thing. In fact, I remember something you said that can be used as direct proof that you do. I believe it was amongst the lines of "Sorry Mr. Fenton. I was into ghosts, but they're so mainstream now. They're like cellphones." Want to know what that sounds like to me? It sounds like you only like things that aren't "mainstream" or "popular." And you placed an entire species into that categorical method of yours, so why wouldn't you do the same to your friends? Oh wait! You totally would, wouldn't you?
Sam: I… They… uh…
Me: That's what I thought.
Danny: Nice to know how much I'm not loved.
Me: *places hand on Danny's shoulder* You'll get used to it. I did.
Danny: You aren't loved either?
Me: Oh I am. But the ones who truly care about me are my family, and they don't even fully understand me. Just like you. Only you have Tucker, who's technically your brother from another mother.
Tucker: You damn right I am! I'll always be here for you man!
Dani: So will I!
Jazz: We'll always be here for you, even if Sam isn't.
Danny: Thanks you guys. Really, it means a lot to me.
Tucker, Jazz, Dani, and me: We know!
Sam: *grumbles and walks away*
