Chapter Five- Going Ghost?
Danny kicked a pebble down the street. Why did this happen and how was he going to fix it? He looked up at the sky. It felt eerie. He sighed as he continued down the street. Danny's feet kept moving further and further down the street. Where was he going? He had no clue but anywhere that wasn't his "home" was good. He walked obliviously through the street and suddenly he stopped, looking up at a very familiar building. It was Sam's house. He smiled at how familiar and comforting her house was. Just then she stepped out, Tucker following behind her. Danny tried to continue down the street but he quickly stopped when he heard "Hey Danny wait up." He stopped in his tracks. Hearing Sam's voice made him think of the life he had lost. His life as Danny Fenton, son of Maddie and Jack Fenton was no more. He sighed. Suddenly the thought of his whole life being gone overwhelmed him. Could he even go ghost anymore?
He quickly forgot that thought as Sam with a skulking Tucker came up to him. "Hey." Danny said. "Hey" Sam said. Tucker stared at Danny quizzically. Sam nudged him in the ribs and he said, "Hey." The three stood staring at each other for a few minutes until Sam said, "Why did you eat lunch with us today?" "Because in the world that I am from, I ate lunch with you two everyday." Danny wanted to say, but instead he said, "Because I wanted to." "Why?" Tucker asked. "Because I am tired of Paulina and the crew. I'm not like that. And now I realize that." Tucker and Sam exchanged looks. "Are you being serious? I mean did Dash or Qwan, or even Paulina put you up to this?" Sam asked. 'Why don't they believe me?' Danny thought. "I'm positive, why don't you believe me?" "Because…" "You never wanted to hangout with us before." Sam said interrupting Tucker's comment. "People can change." Danny said. Sam sighed. "I guess we can give you a chance to redeem yourself." Sam said glaring at Tucker to stop. Danny smiled, at least they were giving him a chance. "So, you want to go to Nasty Burger?" Sam asked. "Fine with me." Danny replied.
Even Nasty Burger seemed different here Danny concluded. He sat down in the booth, on the other side facing Tucker and Sam. It felt good to be sitting with his two best friends even though they had looks on their faces like they were expecting him to say April Fools any moment. Speaking of his old life, he needed to try out his ghost powers, but that would have to wait until he got home. "Hey guys what's up?" Danny looked up to see Danni standing there. They really did look a lot alike. "Hey Danni! We're pretty good, how about yourself?" "Good. Hey you don't mind if I take my brother away for a second do you?" Danny wondered what she had to tell him. "Family business." Danni added getting the understanding nod from Tucker and Sam. Danni quickly dragged Danny out of the booth and into another one hidden in the corner. "Danny, dad's really worried about you." Danni said looking at her brother with concern. "You never treated dad like that before and he's wondering what's going on with you. We all are." Danny grimaced. As long as he lived in this world he would never call Vlad his dad. "You wouldn't understand even if I told you." "Try me" Danni said crossing her arms. "I can't" Danny said. "Well if you don't want to tell me now, you know I am going to find out eventually." Danni said. Danny sighed. This girl even acted like him.
"Bye!" Sam and Tucker said as they waved goodbye to Danni and Danny, as they walked into the house. Danny closed the door and was met with an enraged Maddie, and a concerned Jazz and Vlad. "Danny you are in big trouble young man." Maddie said. Danny sighed. 'I thought they would forget. 'Danny thought. "In the living room, now" Maddie ordered. Danny followed his mom and Vlad into the living room. "Danny what is wrong with you?" His mother asked. 'Oh great not this again. Don't they know I have something important to do called I need to check out my ghost powers to see if they are still working?' Danny thought. "Daniel, are you listening to your mother?" Danny snapped out of it and looked at his mom. "What has gotten into you lately, you haven't been acting like yourself, did something happen at school that you need to talk about sweetie?" His mom asked. "No, everything's fine mom, really." His mom sighed. "Then how about your outburst with your father, you've never done that before." Danny scowled. 'Vlad is not my father.' Danny thought. "I'm sorry I just, I don't know." 'Could they please just leave me alone?' "Danny, until you tell us what is wrong with you, you will stay in your room." 'Yes escape!' Danny thought joyously. Danny put on a sad and slightly irritated face as he exited the living room and walked upstairs to his bedroom.
Closing the door behind him he let out a sigh of relief. 'Now, to try out my powers." He thought. He concentrated on becoming his alter-ego, the cooling sensation of the transformation billowing up inside him. He felt the two rings of light separate themselves transforming him into the being he feared he had lost. He opened his eyes, Starling green eyes and snow white hair met his view. He somehow still had the ability to become Phantom. But if he could become Phantom, then could Vlad become Plasmius? 'No he can't I saw him, he didn't get hit with the portal, dad did, so does that mean that dad is half-ghost like me?" Danny's numerous thoughts distracted him from the opening of the door. He only noticed there was someone else in his room, when an ecto-plasmic gun was pointed at his head. "Ok Ghost, who are you and what did you do to my little brother?" Danny froze. "Jazz?" He said trying to see her out of the corner of his eye. "How do you know my name ghost?" She spat maliciously. "Because, I'm your brother." He felt the gun near his head lower. "You can't be my brother, he's alive!" "I know, I am your brother because I am a halfa." "A whata?" Jazz questioned. "A halfa. Great do I have to tell you the whole story?" "If you don't want to be torn molecule by molecule, you better tell me the whole story." This Jazz would get in good with his parents. He was about to start telling his story when Danni walked in. "Who are you?" Danni asked. "He claims to be our brother, which I'm still skeptical about." "Our brother? But he's a ….." "Ghost, I know." "Halfa" Danny corrected. "Whatever. Now I'm tired of these interruptions, you have some explaining to do, and I want to hear it." Jazz said going to his door and locking it, while the gun was still pointed at him. "Well are you going to start?" Danni asked. "Fine." Danny said as he started his story.
"So you're saying that in this alternate timeline, mom is married to Jack Fenton, I am actually a clone made by Plasmius who happens to be Vlad who actually really isn't are dad because he changed his outcome by having this Jack guy get hit by the beam instead of him, and our mom and Jack created a ghost portal that didn't work until you went in it and got shocked and got turned into a halfa that protects Amity Park from other ghosts even though people think you are evil but you're not?" Danni said. "Exactly." Danny said. "That makes a lot of sense." Jazz stated. They both stared at her. "Well it does. Think about it. We don't know all the mysteries of the world outside our own, and I heard mom talking to dad about the ghost portal a long time ago. Everything adds up. This Danny is from the alternate timeline. But since you're Danny from an alternate timeline, then where is our Danny?" Jazz asked. "Good question, but honestly, I don't know." "Well what are we suppose to do, how do we get you back to your timeline and my brother here?" Danni asked. "Well Plasmius and I went into the ghost zone, so all I need is a ghost portal." "There's one slight problem, there is no ghost portal." Jazz said. Danny sighed in defeat and changed back into his human form. "That could be a huge problem." Danny said sitting down on the bed. Jazz tapped her chin in thought. "Aha!" She said. Danni and Danny looked at her. "I knew that name sounded familiar." "What name? Jazz what are you talking about?" Danny asked. "Jack, Jack Fenton, Come on." Jazz said grabbing Danny and hauling him to the door. She quickly unlocked it and ran down the hallway to her room, Danni following behind her.
Jazz opened the door to her room, and Danny gasped. The room was full of paranormal things. Newspaper clippings of ghost sightings and other strange phenomena were hanging on the wall. Danny followed Jazz over to her computer. She quickly typed something in. "Aha, right here." Jazz said pointing at the article on the screen. Danny looked at the article. 'Jack Fenton: Wisconsin's new Dairy King.' "No way." Danny said looking at the picture of his dad. His dad looked different. With his black hair streaked with white tied into a ponytail, it painfully reminded Danny of Vlad. He shuddered. "Uh Jazz what does Jack Fenton have to do with a ghost portal?" Danni asked. Jazz rolled her eyes as if the answer was obvious. "Well I was thinking, after Danny told his story that in his timeline, our dad was a lonely man with ghost powers and a ghost portal, That would mean that in this world, Jack Fenton changed lives with dad so now he is the Dairy King. So since Jack Fenton is the Dairy King, and he got hit with a beam and is half- ghost, could he possibly have a ghost portal too?" "Jazz you're brilliant!" Danny said. "So what are we going to do now?" Danni asked. "I guess we're going to Wisconsin." Jazz replied.
Well people that's the end. It didn't really go like I wanted it to be, but oh well. Please review, the next chapter will be up soon, I hope. Ta Ta for now!
