I'm back! And I'm ready to type. Mostly because I need something to calm my nerves. I've been forced into a stupid science fair, and it's taking up all of my time. Every year. Other than working on this story, I've been practicing drawing anime. I used to love art, but then over the years I lost some inspiration for artwork. So I'm trying to take it up again. And I'm doing terrible on the eyes. I admit it. But I'm working on it!

Anyway, this chapter is about Dani grabbing her stuff and meeting the Fentons. And she even shows some signs of CW's work! But a certain someone blocks her path in the park… You'll find out. I couldn't resist putting him in. Just keep reading to find out. And just a reminder: CW's time amount is done, but now I'm writing about what Dani is doing in the three hours. So Dani still has three hours. That might make sense to some of you readers, and might confuse others. But I'm confusing either way, so deal with it.

Chapter 2- Meet the Fentons (Dani POV)

"Speech"

"Thoughts"

I was just a blur as I zoomed through the ghost zone. Since I just came from Clocky's clock tower I still have a few miles until I reach the Fenton ghost portal. "Now, which way? East, I think…"

The nervousness and anxiety was slowly building up inside of me. I have no idea what to do if one of Danny's enemies spot me. Hardly anyone knows I even exist; ghosts might mistake me for Danny and decide to attack. "I just hope that won't happen." I thought. Anyway, the Fenton ghost portal is straight ahead. "Nothing's going to stop me now" I heard a familiar beeping and red light coming from the Fenton lab before I could even come inside.

"Ghost ahead. Eight feet forward." The ghost-tracking invention repeated from Mr. Fenton's hands. I quickly ducked the ghost-proof glowing net and raced inside the green swirl. Invisibly sneaking past both Fenton parents, I flew up the stairs just in time to catch Danny yelling his signature battle cry and changing into Phantom; hero of the city.

"You really need to work on keeping that a secret." I chuckled before becoming visible. The look on his face was priceless before he realized that it was just me.

"Hey, Dani. How's it been for you? I haven't seen you for two months!"

"Great. What about you?" I replied.

"It's been- wait." Danny hesitated for a moment. Then his hero problem kicked in. "What's the trouble this time? Its Vlad again, isn't it?

"Don't worry." I reassured him, "I'm just passing through. I needed to use your parents' portal- that's all."

I watched my "cousin" switch back to his human form before sneaking in an alley to do the same. I ran all the way to the park; I had to pick up my duffel bag from the oak tree still. Gazing up at the various branches from the very bottom, I spotted a patch of neon green- my bag. Quickly glancing around to check if anyone else was watching, I hurled myself up the tree using some help from my ectoplasm suction cups I recently created for my hands and feet. Eventually I reached the top branch and grabbed my duffel bag, then slid down the tree trunk like it was a smooth flagpole. "Piece of cake." I thought.

"Well, that was impressive." That voice I recognized faintly- I could hardly remember the last time I heard that voice. Turning around, I saw a muscular blond-haired teenage boy leaning against a park bench. He looked around Danny's age. Strange…

"Uh… Do I know you?" I questioned the jock.

"The names Baxter… Dash Baxter." The boy commented, trying to sound like a cool Sherlock Holmes. I tried my best not to rudely burst out laughing. "Is he seriously flirting with me?" I wondered.

"Okay… My name's Danielle. But you can just call me Dani with an 'I'." Just then there was a sudden jolt in my chest- like lightning- that was spreading inside of me. It was so unexpected that I clutched my chest with my arms folded and slightly hunched over in agony.

"Whoa! Are you okay?" Dash asked me.

Great. Just great. Someone just has to be here right now; watching me become sickly. What is this? Shingles? Why does the universe hate me so much? My best guess is that clockwork is giving me magic. But this is tortured pain!

"I have to go now. I might be back in a few months. Maybe. See ya!" I yelled back while sprinting towards the Fentonworks neon green sign and grasping my duffel bag. Still clutching my chest with one arm, I dragged my feet up the walkway to knock on the door. A woman with short red hair wearing a blue hazmat suit swung open the door.

"Hi Mrs. Fenton," I strained to catch my breath, "Can I see Danny please?" And with those last words, I fell over into darkness.

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

My tired eyes slowly fluttered open to see a caramel-colored ceiling. I turned my head to see Danny sitting at my bedside, with a thankful expression on his face. On my left was Mrs. Fenton, holding a wet towel to my forehead. Glancing around, I saw many different NASA space posters and some scattered Humpty Dumpty CDs on the desk next to the bed. "I must be in Danny's room!"

"Finally, you're awake!" My 'cousin' playfully exclaimed. "I thought I would have to dump some ice water on your head!"

"What happened?" I moaned.

"Well," Mrs. Fenton continued, "when you fainted I called Danny over, and he said you were a friend from school. So we brought you into his room, and you were out for about an hour and a half."

"Wait- then…" I glanced at the clock, "I only have one hour left!"

"Dani, what do you mean?" he asked.

"I know this is gonna sound crazy, but Mrs. Fenton? May I use your ghost portal, please?"

"WHAT?!" she shrieked. But I wasn't asking. I was demanding.

I leapt out of bed, raced down the hall; and approached the metal lab door. Miraculously, it opened before me without any passcode to anything! All I did was step in front of it! It almost seemed… magic.

I hopped down the stairs and passed a very confused Jack Fenton along the way. Checking my watch, I had only 50 minutes now. "I have to hurry even faster than before if I want to make it to the clock tower on time…" I panicked inside my head.

"Danielle!" Danny and his mom were yelling after me.

"See you in a few months, 'cuz'…" With that, I leapt into the swirling green portal and sped off west after "going ghost".
