So I'm a poop-butt. So sorry about being gone so long (though you're all probably used to it by now). I was gone so long that this chapter actually got deleted from my doc manager due to inactivity. This is what I get for trying to have a life outside the internet. Luckily, I still had most of the chapter written out in my notebook so only the ending is a little different than I was planning, if anything. Thank Clockwork I like to keep a hard copy of most of my work.
I do not claim ownership of the cartoon Danny Phantom. Get your facts straight here people.
Previously:
Danny Fenton has run away from home. He packed his bags and set out on a journey with no clear destination. Along the way, he runs into his clone/cousin, Dani with an i, and the two have now made their way to Las Vegas.
Meanwhile, back in Amity Park, Danny's friends and family are doing everything they can think of to track Danny down and bring him home, including bringing in the police to help search for the runaway boy.
The Time Stop:
Chapter Twelve:
The streets were crowded with cars and the sidewalk full of people. Among the crowd, two raven-haired teenagers made their way down the street, all the while dodging other pedestrians left and right.
"I think we're almost there," Danny exclaimed as he led his clone to their destination.
"Where exactly are we going anyway?" Dani questioned as she picked up her pace to try and keep in step with her original. She had to duck under a few people at times when the crowd became too thick for her to stand directly next to Danny as they walked along.
"I told you, it's supposed to be a surprise. It's not a surprise if I just tell you what it is," Danny smirked smugly at her in response. "Don't worry, you'll totally love it."
Dani raised and eyebrow at that but decided not to question him any further.
After a while of walking, the crowd began to thin just a bit but there were plenty of people off to the side standing in front of yet another one of the many hotels located on the Las Vegas Strip. They only walked a little farther before Danny led them off to the side as well and when they finally stopped she could see what every one else had stopped to look at, Dani's eyes going wide as she saw the strangest thing in front of the hotel.
"Is that a... pirate ship?" she asked, turning to look Danny in the eyes, confusion clear on her face.
"Sure is!" Danny smiled. He glanced down at his watch and his grin grew wider. "And it looks like we're just in time too."
"Really? In time for what?"
"You'll see. Just watch." Danny pointed towards the ship in the water in front of the hotel to redirect his cousin's attention.
As soon as Dani turned back to look at the ship again, the water lit up, music played, and people wearing pirate costumes appeared as the gathered crowd looked on in glee.
The show began and Dani was absolutely fascinated, watching intensely at the performance the actors put on for the still growing crowd. Danny just grinned again as he watched not the show, but the way his cousin's eyes lit up with joy and excitement at the display.
When it was over and the water stilled once more, the crowd around the two teenagers began to disperse back down the street and sidewalks. Dani turned to her original and grabbed his shoulder enthusiastically, shaking him slightly.
"Did you see that!?" she nearly yelled. "That was SO COOL!"
Danny chuckled softly but listened anyway, glad that she had enjoyed the performance as much as he hoped she would.
Dani rambled on and on about the show and everything that happened as Danny slowly started to lead her away again.
"...and when the ship started to sink, oh man that was awesome!" Dani took a much needed deep breath as she finished her rant and sighed. She then turned to face Danny once more.
"Thanks for taking me here, Danny. This was a lot of fun."
"No problem. Now hurry up. There are still many things to see and do before the night is over."
The two halfas smiled and continued on their way down the strip, Danny in the lead, Dani following close behind, ready for whatever her cousin would introduce her to next.
Hope you enjoyed. Sorry it's a bit short. The hotel that the Danny Duo went to was, if you couldn't guess it, the Treasure Island Hotel & Casino. I only just found out that the pirate show which used to be done every night was closed back in October of 2013. I would have given more info about what happens during the show but given the fact that the last time I was actually there to see it was quite a few years ago, my memory was not good enough to provide me with the correct information.
The next chapter will probably be back in Amity. It also shouldn't take nearly as long as this chapter did to get posted.
