Yawn, chapter 5…. This is probably the last chapter for today guys and I'll see how I go getting another Chapter up tomorrow.

Chapter 5- Danielle saw a Dragon Boy!

It was nearing the end of Danny's third day with the Long's in New York. He had spent the weekend with Jake, Trixie and Spud touring their area of New York. There had been the occasional time when Jake would have to run off to help his Grandpa at the shop and Danny was left with Spud and Trixie, but other than that, it was all four of them most of the time. Luckily for Danny though, there hadn't been any ghosts attack over the weekend, which was really good because he didn't need to think of an excuse to run off and it wasn't normal to spend twenty minutes in the bathroom.

The time was 8:57pm, and 9 was the time that you had to be in bed by in the Long household.

Danny was lying on top of his bed, while Jake was at his desk rushing to try and finish some homework he had forgotten to do. Tomorrow would be Danny's first day at Jakes school and he wasn't sure whether he was looking forward to it or not. Jake had warned him about the principle, Mr. Rotwood who was a bit of a strange one, especially when it came to magical creatures. Danny tried to laugh that they didn't exist, but he knew after confronting that dragon twice, he couldn't admit that they weren't real.

"Bed boys!" Came Susan's voice from outside the room.

"Awww.. man," moaned Jake, slamming his pen done on his desk, "I didn't get it done!".

"I would of helped you, but Casper High didn't have a class about magical creatures so I know nothing about them," Danny replied, pushing down the covers with his feet so he didn't have to stand up.

"Oh well, Rotwood normally doesn't expect any better from me anyway." Jake closed his textbook, turned out the light and climbed the ladder to his bed. Then there was silence.

Danny lay in bed for about half an hour thinking, till he noticed a light over on the desk, followed by vibrating. It was Jake's phone. He heard Jake let out a small groan, then he slowly and quietly climbed down the ladder. Jake picked up the phone and spoke quietly into the mouth piece.

"Yea Fuo?" There was a pause as whoever was on the other end answered. "Be right there." He hung up the phone and pulled his jacket and shorts on. Danny remained quiet, with his eyes shut, pretending to be asleep. He heard the door creak open and Jake tiptoed out. Danny flicked his eyes open. He thought about following Jake in ghost form, but what if Susan or John came in and saw both beds empty? At least this way he wouldn't get in trouble as well, because he didn't want Jake's parents to hate him as well. He already had the feeling that Sam and Tucker's parents didn't particularly like him heaps. Suddenly his ghost sense went off and he jumped out of bed. Scanning the room, he was about to switch to ghost form and fly outside, when he saw a ghost appear in the far corner of the room.

"Danielle!" He exclaimed, and then quieted down. "What are you doing here?" He hissed.

"I followed you here, but Danny there's something you should know," answered the young Phantom, moving over to her 'cousin'.

"What?"

"That Jake kid!" He exclaimed, pointing at the door. "He's that red Dragon!"

"How do you know?" He asked surprised.

"When he first confronted you at the airport, after you left, I followed him and saw him transform!" Danielle explained. Danny sat on the bed and thought for a moment. That explains why he had to keep running off over the weekend. Danielle sat beside him and they talked and talked for so long and didn't notice the time flying by. They also didn't hear Jake return home until it was too late and he walked through the bedroom door. He jumped back when he saw Danielle. The girl halfa flew up in the air.

"Is that a ghost!" Jake stuttered, dropping his jacket straight onto the floor.

"That depends, are you a dragon?" Answered Danielle, Jake looked startled.

"Danielle, don't be so rude," lectured Danny from the floor. Then he turned to Jake, "but still, are you a dragon?"

"No, why would you even think that?" Retorted Jake quickly.

"Because I followed you after your conversation with Danny Phantom and I saw you transform," replied Danielle.

"Ok, ok, I'm a dragon," admitted Jake, hold up his hands in defeat, "but don't tell a soul or the dragon council will have my head!"

"It's okay Jake, I'm good at keeping secrets," Danny assured as he walked over to Jake and slung his arm over to comfort him but for some reason it resulted in Jake developing dragon scales and Danny's hair turned completely white. They quickly jumped away from each other.

"How come I grow Dragon scales or teeth whenever I touch you?" Jake questioned quickly.

"I have no idea, it might have something to do with a Ecto signature mixing with a dragons," Answered Danny.

"Ecto signature?" Questioned Jake. "But you're not a ghost!"

"But when you spend too much time around a certain ghost, their Ecto signature can rub off on you. I spend a lot of time with Danny and Danielle Phantom and they share an Ecto signature because Danielle is Danny's clone.'

"Who's Danielle?" Asked Jake.

"Me," answered the proud ghost girl from above their heads, shoving he thumb into her chest.

"You're a clone?" Questioned Jake and Danielle nodded. "Why would you need to clone a ghost?"

"Cause Vlad's a fruit loop," answered Danny and Danielle at the same time. Suddenly they heard a floorboard creak down the hall.

"Quick Danielle," hissed Danny and the girl ghost turned invisible right as John's head poked around the corner.

"What are you boys doing up?" He questioned. "It's almost midnight."

"I was just getting out of bed to use the bathroom and I woke up Danny," Jake replied quickly.

"Why are you up Danny?"

"Oh, I just need a glass of water Mr. Long. I'm really thirsty," Danny answered swiftly, clasping his neck.

"Well hurry up and be quite," replied Mr. Long heading back to his room. Danny and Jake ran to the kitchen, got some water and headed back to the bedroom as quietly as possible.

"Does you dad know?" Asked Danny quietly.

"No."

"Mum?"

"No."

"Hayley?"

"No."

"Anyone?"

"Just Trixie and Spud, absolutely no one else," Jake lied, but Danny took it as a good enough answer, considering only his friends and Jazz knew about his secret.

"How did you become a dragon anyway? I thought it might of run in the family but seening as your parents don't know it oviosally doesn't."

"I ummm.. drank a potion... by mistake a couple of years back.. and now I can turn into a dragon." He answered before changing the subject. "So why's that ghost girl here?"

"Danny Phantom sent her to protect me from ghosts."

"I can protect you."

"Even if you are a dragon, they'll still beat you. Ghosts can turn invisible, intangible, they have Ecto- blasts, some can freeze you, like that Klemper ghost, some burn you, one can control time and another can read you into books and trap you there."

"Okay, maybe Danielle should help out, unless you can do that sort of stuff too…"

Danny laughed.

"No, she's just got the basic ghost powers. Oh an a lot of will power."

-Line Break-

The next morning once Danny and Jake were ready, they grabbed their skateboards, in Danny's case Jake's old one, and whipped out the door were they met Trixie and Spud. Danny wasn't the best on the skateboard, so he sort of hovered on it and made it look convincing. He just had to make sure he didn't float up high enough for the others to notice he wasn't actually riding the skateboard properly and that he had powers.

They turned a corner and the school came into view, it was a big, dull, brick building. The four came to a halt and picked up their skateboards and Danny followed the others nervously into the school. He noticed a lot of girls looking admirably at him, even the popular looking ones. He followed the three to their lockers where they stood and waited for class to start. They were fifteen minutes early for school, which was a good start to this transfer as Danny was usually always late for school.

"Do girls normally stare at you in Amity?" Whispered Jake in Danny's ear.

"No, at Casper High I'm just a geek nobody at all looks at. I don't know what's going on." Suddenly a girl with blonde hair pulled into pony tail stepped forward.

"Hey, I'm Chrissie and I'm a cheerleader," she said to Danny, trying to impress him.

"Hi," he answered. "I'm Danny." Then another girl with brown hair in a bun stepped next to Chrissie.

"Are you the other transfer student from Amity Park?"

"Yeah," he replied.

"I'm so going to live in Amity Park! Two cuties from one school, there's bound to be more!" Exclaimed Chrissie.

"Did you just call Fenturd a cutie?" Came a questioning voice from the other direction.

"Yeah, I was just saying that you two Amity kids are cuties," replied Chrissie as Dash and Brad walked towards them.

"Well I guess you'll just have to enjoy these two months Fentonio, cause when we go back to Amity you'll just be a geek again."

"Look Dash, I don't really care."

"Dash and Danny! What cute names!' Exclaimed a red head from the surrounding group of girls.

"Hey Fenturd, did you hear Phantom's in New York?"

"Yeah Dash, I saw him at the airport."

"He's probably following me."

"And why would he do that?"

"Well when you're stupid dad shrunk him and I we had to help each other get big again and now were like close mates."

"Yeah, Dash whatever you say, but don't call my dad stupid. I'm the only one who's allowed to call him that." Dash was about you respond when Chrissie interrupted.

"Who's Phantom?"

"You haven't heard of Danny Phantom?" Asked Dash shocked. Everyone shook their heads. "Public Enemy #1?" Once again everyone shook their heads. "Inviso-bill?"

"Oh yeah, I heard of him. He's that ghost kid who robbed all those banks," replied one of the girls from the group.

"Yeah but he had good reason to!" Exclaimed Danny, trying to defend himself. All eyes turned to him.

"And what were they Fenturd?"

"He was under control of that Freakshow guy. You know the one guy who ran Goth-a-paluza?"

"I remember Freakshow, but he wasn't a ghost."

"But the crystal ball on his staff hypnotized ghosts."

"And how exactually do you know this?"

"My parents are ghost hunters remember? I'm pretty sure you've tormented me about it plenty of times!" Before the argument could go any further the bell sounded.

"We forgot to take you to the office to get a timetable!" Exclaimed Jake.

"No, Mr. Lancer gave one to me before I left Amity Park." Answered Danny pulling his backpack open and removing the paper. Jake looked over his shoulder.

"Your classes are the same as mine. Come on, we have Rotwood first." Trixie and Spud had the same class as well so they all headed off together. The group was late but so were Dash and Brad who also had this class. They all reached the door at the same time and knocked.

The door crept open slowly and a man with brown hair and glasses in a suit appeared.

"What's the secret password?" He hissed. Danny looked at Jake confused.

"Ehh…"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm just joking," Rotwood explained, leading the group into the classroom. "Brad, Jake, Trixie and Arthur late as usual. Sit." The four of them ran to their desks. "And you two are?"

"I'm Danny Fenton."

"Dash Baxter."

"Oh, you're the transfer students from Amity Park. Well I'm Professor Rotwood." The boys gave him nervous smiles. "Dash, you can sit with Brad and Danny with Jake." The two moved to their seats. "Now Dash, can you name a magical creature for me?"

"Um... Fairy?"

"Correct and Danny can you name one?"

"Err.. Dragon?"

"Correct as well, Jake must of given you a lesson. Jake knows lots about Dragons," Rotwood gave an evil smirk as Jake put his head on the desk. Danny gave him a quizzeled look and whispered,

"Does he know?"

"Yes," was Jake's answer.

"Sorry," apologized Danny.

"It's okay, you didn't know."

"Ok children, today we'll be having a pop quiz," Announced Rotwood. Moans went around the class as he began to hand out tests. When he reached Jake's desk, instead of putting a test on his desk he placed an image of Jake turning into a Dragon. It was the photo he had taken from the alleyway a few days before. Danny saw it as well. Jake tried to snatch it from Rotwood's hand, but he pulled back.

"Uh, uh. You have a week. Either you expose yourself or I do it for you." Then he put a test on his desk and walked off.

"Did you see that?" Whispered Jake.

"Yeah."

"I need to get it back."

"I have a way to get it."

"And what's that?"

"Her names Danielle and she's a little girl about this big who can turn invisible and phase threw things."

"Do you think she'll help me? I don't think she likes me."

"I'll persuade her easy."

"When?"

"Lunch."

-Line Break-

At lunch break, Danny, Jake, Trixie and Spud found a private spot at the back of the school and sat down on the grass with their cafeteria food.

"Okay guys, just act natural, I'll know when she's close." They foursome sat down and began to eat their… whatever it was… and chat. After about five minutes a blue whisp escaped Danny's mouth.

"Danielle, you can come out now." There was no response. "Dani, don't be stubborn." With that the ghost girl appeared a little in front of them hovering in the air.

"GHOST!" Exclaimed Spud, tremerring behind Trixie.

"Shut up Spudinski!" Demanded Trixie.

"Why do you only listen when I call you Dani?" Asked Danny.

"I'm the clone of a boy, what would you expect?" She answered boldly.

"Okay Dani, I need your help. Well actually Jake needs your help. This certain teacher Rotwood has a picture of Jake transforming and I need you to turn invisible and get it back."

"Why can't you do it?"

"Because I can't turn invisible," answered Danny slowly. Even though Jake told him his secret, Danny wasn't ready to give away his own.

"Fine, I'll do it. Where is it?"

"The teacher has it in a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. Kinda like what Mr. Lancer did with the C.A.T. answer book."

"C.A.T.? Isn't that the test your future self cheat-"

"Dani..." Danny said slowly.

"Sorry, sorry, I forgot you don't like talking about Dan."

"Can you just get the photo please?" Dani nodded, turned invisible and flew off only to return five minutes later with the photograph.

"That was synch!: She exclaimed, swooping down to the group and handing Jake the photo.

"Thanks heaps," replied Jake and then they heard a bellow from across the school yard.

"JAKE LONG!" The voice belonged to Rotwood.

"Quick Danielle, turn invisible!" Exclaimed Danny. Even though he called her Danielle, she did what she was told.

"What do I do with the photo? He'll probably search our pockets for it!" Panicked Jake.

"Let me handle that," replied Danny, taking the photo from Jake right as Rotwood turned the corner.

"WHERE'S MY PHOTO MR. LONG!" He yelled.

"What photo?" He replied casually.

"SHOW ME YOUR HANDS! ALL OF YOU!" The four of them held out their empty hands.

"Hey Danielle, do what Professor Rotwood says. Hold out your hands," added Danny, smiling happily.

"Oh sure," came a reply from the air and Danielle made only her hands visible. She waved them about and Rotwood screamed.

"WHAT IS THAT?" He yelled.

"A ghost," answered Danny as Danielle became completely visible.

"Boo!" She yelled In reply, Rotwood ran off screaming.

I want to do that to my teachers….

ANYWAY, please leave a review guys! I need to know that people are reading. I might even continue the story after I finish these chapters.
