Addie: Okay next chapter. ^^ Don't own. Also I had to up the rating because of Dan's mouth.
Uncle Dan isn't all that Bad, Not.
It had been two days since Danny found out about an interesting past and that he had children in the future though he thought that one would be impossible. Especially after Pluto had oh so lovingly thrown him into the past. He had yelled at the Sailor Scout for an hour after Mike and Tic had left to go scout out Amity Park. Though it didn't really get him anywhere. Before he could think anymore on that he was tackled to the ground for the second time that day since he had lied and said Vlad had found him with a really bad cold.
"Danny, thank God you're alright! What did that woman do to you?"
"Ack! Sam, can't breathe!"
Sam loosened her grip but held on still. She had been so scared, but something about Danny didn't feel right. Looking into sky blue eyes they held knowledge and wisdom that hadn't been there before he had disappeared into that fog. She had seen this in Clockwork's eyes when they talked with him. In the Eyes of the woman posing as their new School nurse. The eyes of the three of new transfers. Danny wasn't the Danny she grew up with, but it was him at the same time.
"Sam? Something wrong?"
"You have the same look in your eyes like Clockwork."
Danny gulped not wanting to explain the thousand year trip Setsuna had sent him on. Before he could open his mouth to answer, an older tee with Garnet eyes and soft dark hair pulled him away. Dan smirked when Danny realized who had him in their grip and he smirked back.
"What up, dork?"
"But how?"
Tucker and Sam had backed away from them as soon as Dan had Danny under his arm. Dan looked boredly at them then pulled up his sleeve to show the odd tattoo on his arm. It was Odd to the two teens. It was a circle cradled in a half circle with a line coming down the middle and crossed near the end. It glowed faintly and Dan snorted pulling his sleeve back down.
"What was that?"
"That is the mark of Pluto. It keeps me human and restricts my powers. I can't kill you. So I get to play 'good little halfa' until Pluto deems that I'm not a threat. Fucking bitch."
"You're kidding."
"Nope. I'm also here to protect Danny. God my life sucks now."
"Great now I have crazy me looking after me."
"Would you prefer the fruitloop stalking you invisible?"
"Good point, I'd be worried about imamate rape."
"I think Mom's on to that though."
"Huh?"
"Evil, Badass Top, Danny. I can spot when Mom wants to rip out Vlad's guts and feed them to him. Oh it was brilliant, while the badger here was off on his "Vlad should only pay attention to me" mental rant he didn't notice said older halfa starting at his ass. It happens from time to time. Anyway where's the moon princesses?"
Just as Dan finished the exchange students he was looking for came up to them. Tucker's jaw dropped and Sam stared in disbelief. One of them had pink hair! Pink! Crimson eyes narrowed and she scoffed at the eco-goth. The blonde next to her let out a nervous laugh as Sam's hackles rose. The girl turned to Dan and grabbed a hold on his slightly pointed ear.
"Daniel Jackson Clock! I can't believe! You left a mess in the kitchen when you left this morning and not only that the lovely Grand Guard of my parent's army decided it was my fault upon coming to check on us."
"Ow, Princess can you let go?"
"I can't believe Clockwork gave you such an important task!"
"Ow! Hey, I don't actually 'exist', okay? If the Clocky hadn't given me that job, I'd have faded away!"
Danny looked at his older self confused. He would have faded away? Why? The pink haired girl continued to let Dan have it as the blond got the three teens' attention back. Sam was in her "didn't trust if to anything" mode, and tucker was too busy drooling over the girl to really say anything.
"I'm sorry about Chibiusa, she really dislikes it when someone doesn't treat her like the Lady she wishes to be. I'm Usagi Tsukino, by the way."
"Hi, I'm Tucker Foley, and did you fall from heaven?"
Dan and Chibiusa's mouths dropped at the pickup line. Sam and Danny facepalmed trying to understand what the hell was wrong with him then Usagi started to giggle. The giggling turned to full blown laughter and Tucker felt his heart break. Soon Usagi calmed down and gave him a sweet smile.
"I'm sorry; Foley-san, but I have a boyfriend."
Tucker bowed his head and his friends laughed at his misfortune. Dan made a gagging face while Chibiusa smacked him upside the head then thought of something she missed. Dan Phantom had a job in her time and she thought he would be at that here as well.
"Shouldn't you be at that Portal?"
"Portal?"
"Guess Grandma hasn't given you the job yet."
"Huh?"
Chibiusa shrugged and then headed into the school. Clockwork had told her not to mention specifics about the future, but he had said she could drop hints. She took to guarding her time key fiercely and the secrets she knew. Now she just had to get Mike to stop talking of his parents' future. That was for Danny and Vlad to figure out. Turning to look back at them, she felt her heart ache. Dan was hurting though he didn't show it. It was killing him to be so close to Tucker and Sam.
It was being close to Sam that was killing him the most. Chibiusa knew had Dan's time gone the way it was suppose to, Dan and Sam would have been married. Chibiusa knew that once again history was about to repeat. Dan was hoping here he'd have Sam since Danny was in love with someone else, though he didn't understand it. Chibiusa felt more akin to Dan than she would ever admit.
The Observents wanted her erased from time as well, but were they had go get Danny from their time line to defeat his alternet future self, Chibiusa had stolen one of Pluto's keys and traveled to her past to save her future. She had still become Black Lady and still felt horrible for what she had done. She had a feeling now that Dan had chilled out he was beginning to feel the same way. Loneliness, fear, and anger could do horrible things to a person.
"Chibiusa? Are you okay?"
"I'm worried about Dan, that's all."
"He's going to get hurt isn't he?"
Chibiusa didn't say anymore and looked over at Dan who watched Sam longingly. She hated that she couldn't point him in the right direction. Clockwork had forbid her from "meddling" as he put it. Her job in the past was to learn all she could and live as normally as possible before she took over as Queen Lady Serenity. Mike ran up past the two pigtail girls and Chibiusa caught sight of a piece of toast in his mouth. Danny had moved back to them as Dan and Sam argued over the whether or not Jupiter had forest.
"Jupiter is just ball of gas, it doesn't have the ability to support life and if anything Jupiter wouldn't be a forest planet."
"The gas clouds that engulf the planet are a defense tactic, same as with the rest of the gas giants. Neptune is mostly oceans and Uranus has high cliffs with lots of strong air currents."
"Oh and what makes you even thing you're right? Have you been there?"
"To Uranus and Neptune personally, no, but I have been to Jupiter. Clockwork's been using me on missions to find lost technology. You need to look up your lunar history. If you haven't noticed Sailor Pluto was to one that took Danny."
"As far as I'm concerned, that Sailor Pluto is nothing but a nutcase."
Dan felt his anger deflate and stared at the girl in front him. Letting out a sigh, Dan started to walk away. He wasn't here to argue with anyone about whether or not Jupiter was a plant lovers heaven or that is was the leading planet in environmental protection. Chibiusa shot him that look again. He hated that look. It was the same look Clockwork gave him when he saw him. She knew something about what was going to happen. He hated not knowing. Most of all he hated that look.
"Stop looking at me like that, princess."
"I'm sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt. You'll tell me in the future that I'm one of the few people who love you as Dan Phantom, not Daniel Fenton. You and Danny aren't the same person. I know that better than anyone, Uncle Dan."
Chibiusa walked off and Dan felt his face warm. She knew he wasn't Danny anymore. He was Daniel Jackson Clock, not Daniel Jack Fenton. That was why when he had gotten his human form he lived in Japan. No one would question an American exchange student taking an interest in the Sailor Senshi. No one question Dan Phantom for getting close to the youngest Sailor. Sailor Chibimoon loved being around Dan and it didn't surprise him when said pink haired girl had plopped down in the desk next to him.
"Still upset with me?"
"Maybe, so what do you think of this hell hole?"
"School in the 30th century is much better."
"School still sucks."
"No doubt."
Class seemed to go slow and Danny was getting nervous. So far Dan hadn't acted like anything other than a normal student. Which Danny could deal with but he wasn't going to trust him. Usagi and Chibiusa seemed almost at peace with him and he'd laugh and joke back. Sam had been on edge since her fight with Dan. She didn't believe that the other planets in their solar system were once thriving empires. Danny had seen it firsthand along with the destruction of them. From what he understood it had been the only time Clockwork's sight had failed him.
From what he had seen that day the Observents had been harping on that one point in time for over a thousand years. It had been the same time the Ghost Queen had disappeared leaving Pariah dark to take over. Danny Had wondered about the mysterious former queen of the Ghost Zone and what she looked like.
Over in Wisconsin, Vlad finished folding the soft leather and silk cape that Danny had left with him along with the rest of his "formal" clothes. It had been cute to see him curled under his cape and using Vlad as a pillow, but he couldn't think on that. His little Badger had left behind clothes that were familiar yet unknown with him. Sighing again, Vlad placed the cape on a shelf followed be the pants and tunic. After that he placed the cape clasp on.
The same symbol that was on Danny's suit was on the clasp and Vlad sighed pulling out a cube box and opening the top.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST, BEWARE!"
Vlad gave him a deadpan look and sighed. He put the crown in the box and the Ghost hovered out.
"Why are you in there?"
"I came to find out if the rumors are true!"
"What rumors?"
"That the halfa Danny Phantom is Prince Daniel!"
Vlad started at the Box Ghost even more confused. He knew that many of the Ghost that fought and harassed Danny where just looking out for him. He had talked to many of the ghost that seem to think that his badger was in fact this ghost Prince. This confused and scared him. Daniel couldn't handle something of that caliber. The child would have a heart attack. No, Daniel wasn't the Ghost Prince.
But back at Danny's he and Dan were having a hard time trying to keep Vortex from shouting. Nocturne sighed as his current love hugged and cuddled the poor Ghost child. Usagi had been over with Dan to get the layout of the Fenton lab to see if her crystal of maybe Sailor Pluto could seal the ghost zone, but then she wouldn't get to be laughing at the face Danny was making. Helios had also come over when he heard that Nocturne would be there.
The Priest kept his glare trained on the ghost whose powers mirrored his own. Nocturne had been shocked to see his opposite out of Elision.
"You're not going to cause me to beat your ass are you?"
"Nocturne, you gave a fifteen year old to a cougar for shits and giggles. I should be the one to kick your ass. Did you know she trapped be upside down and naked?"
Nocturne just started at him and Helios sighed.
"It was like giving a drunk Plasmius a naked cat Danny."
"It could have been worse, my little apprentice."
"No, because at least with Danny it wouldn't have been rape. She touched my horn."
The retort on Nocturne's tongue died and Vortex looked over at his lover. The whole room seemed to get darker as Danny let out a "meep". Nocturne turned to face Helios with as sickly sweet smile.
"She touched you?"
"I know the agreement was for her to keep me locked up but, yes she did touch my, a lot."
Usagi looked at Helios in confusion. How could he make this ghost burn with rage for him? She carefully placed her hand on the space clothed ghost and smiled sweetly at him. Nocturne almost seemed to calm down in a instant.
"Please Nocturne-san, we defeated her and Chibiusa-chan almost went Black Lady on us when Helios told her that. And Helios-kun, don't think you've gotten out of trouble. You made him mad on propose, now apologize!"
Nocturne and Helios mumbled their apologies and Usagi smiled at them. Danny's mouth dropped. She didn't even have to fight them! Usagi smiled at him then he felt the power what seeped off of her. Nocturne himself was one of the most powerful ghost he had ever fought, but Usagi seemed far beyond that like Da…..
"A Star Seed is a very powerful thing, Danny. Every human has one, but they are called 'week'. You see, Danny, you have a Sailor Crystal, which is a 'True' Star Seed."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that you'll never really die."
Danny looked over at his other self confused. What did her mean? He could never really die? Did that mean he was stuck being a half-ghost for all eternity? Dan seemed to catch his train of thought and nodded. Danny suddenly felt alone. He would never die. Would he age? What time were Chibiusa, Tic-Toc, and Mike from? Before any of them could stop him Danny fled out his bedroom and flew fast.
Dan sighed while Vortex and Nocturne looked confused. Usagi gave a sad smile as she watched him go. She knew that part was going to be hard, just as it was when she learned only her little brother would make it to the 30th century. The hardest part about being immortal was the fact you would truly be alone if you didn't have someone to share it with.
Vlad stared at the three women in front of him with a frown. Maddie had taken refuse in his lap once the three Heiresses had brought in Luna. It was only several minutes later he found out she could talk. No, he wasn't pleased with the Situation, but he did owe these girls a favor, and he really wanted Pluto out of his house.
"So you're the one that's been causing Danny-chan trouble."
"I don't think he'll ever change, Michiru. Still a dirty old man."
"True he is, but that doesn't care for Danny. We call Kunzite a dirty old man all the time."
"Kunzite is only thirteen years older than Minako."
"Clock work is older still, Really Haruka, stop being so overprotective. You know Age doesn't matter to us."
"Yeah, yeah, Immortal and all that crap, I'm just worried about Dann….."
Before the Senshi of Uranus could finish a loud wail was all that alerted Vlad before he was knocked out of his chair. He let oof a small groan only to find himself with a lapful of crying badger. Now don't let if fool anyone, though he was evil down to his core and wanted revenge on Jack for taking away Maddie, he truly did care for Danny. Carefully he sat up to not dislodge the sobbing teen from his lap and almost gasped in shock when Michiru pulled Danny off of him and into her arms.
Danny sobbed even harder into the familiar warmth of the woman holding him. He let her shush him and clam him. Finally after what seemed like forever Danny pulled away slightly. He stared at the soft maternal face that he hadn't seen in a thousand years. Warm ocean eyes smiled back at him and he flinched as a hand messed with his hair.
"Hello, Little Badger."
"Haruka! Don't call me that it's bad enough Vlad does!"
"Sorry, Kid, had dibs on that name for a thousand years."
"No, dear, you picked it up from Sir Vladimir."
"Still fits."
"Danny, why are you here?"
Danny looked at Setsuna and sighed before sitting down and telling the story. Haruka and Michiru listened intently and then they both sighed. Vlad was even more confused than at the start of the conversation. But these Sailor crystals did intrigue him and just as he was about to go find a way to retrieve them, Danny kicked his shin, hard.
"Daniel, why on earth did you do that?"
"Because you're a fruitloop."
"Can't you think of any better comebacks?"
"I could do Sailor Moon's speech if you want. Dan mumbles it in his sleep."
"Does he really?"
"Chibiusa was right?"
"The best part is he does her pose!"
The three Outer Senshi burst into laughter and Vlad looked at them all funny. Why had he let these women into his house? Setsuna glared at him and held up a lest than innocent photo that was in and album Vlad kept hidden in his room.
"You are a horrible witch."
"Thank you, though Dan uses a slightly more colorful word for me."
"Speaking of myself, Danny, it's time to go home."
The group looked up at the "flaming" ghost who was smirking down at Danny. Danny gulped slightly feeling himself starting to shake. It was fine dealing with him as a human, but back in his true form, Danny was nervous.
"Uncle Dan, stop terrorizing the masses."
The group looked even more confused when Chibiusa's head popped up next to Dan's as she held on tight to the ghost. Dan looked over at her boredly then set her down on the ground gently and Chibiusa smiled up at him. She turned to look at her friends and noticed the shock and terrified looks on all their faces. Danny's look of complete disbelief and horror was the crowning glory. She smiled at them and Dan landed next to her turning back to his human self. Patting Chibiusa's head, Dan walked over and helped himself to a tea cake and stared at the group of shocked people.
"Chibiusa, since when were you close to that…..that…..that thing."
"Hey, Ur-anus, shut up."
"What did you just say you, asshole?"
"Can we please not fight? I'm close to Dan because he's been hanging around me for the last few months! Usagi and Momaru are always busy lately and so are the others, so he's been helping me with my patrol of Tokyo. Please Pluu, he's not as bad as he seems. He was just hurt and lonely! Like how I was."
"Chibi, you don't have to explain to them how I feel, I'm fine with being and evil Badass."
"Don't lie to me, Uncle Dan! You're not fine with it; because if you were actually fine with it you wouldn't be helping a Sailor Scout, much less the future Moon Princess."
Dan smiled down at the younger teen and pulled her into a hug. Yes, he had a soft spot for Chibiusa, and he'd blast anyone that made fun of him for it. Chibiusa smiled. Dan was one of her favorites. Danny looked at that confused before smirking.
"Oh oh oh, it's all so cute! Makes me wanna hurl."
"You're dead, Fenton!"
Vlad sighed as both Dan and Danny flew off into his castle. Twitching every time he heard a crash, vlad tried to ignore it.
"Miss me, miss me, Now you Gotta…ACK!"
"DO I LOOK LIKE I PLAY A FUCKING CHILDREN'S CARD GAME?"
The Outer Scouts looked confused and Chibiusa was trying her hard time not falling out of her chair. Dan walked up to the table and sat down next to Chibiusa trying his hardest not to get up and got beat his former self into the ground. Danny came out, limping slightly as he sat down next to Vlad, using him as a shield. Dan stuck his snake like tongue out at him and Danny "meeped" for the second time that day.
"It's nice to know Danny hasn't changed that much in a thousand years."
"Nope still more sarcastic than Sailor Mars, she'll be upset when she finds out her sparring partner has been here the whole time and she didn't get to smack him."
"Mars is a cranky cheesedoodle."
"Do you ever thing of names that don't deal with food?"
"That be like turning Usagi into Dan."
"Not going to happen."
"See, Fruitloop, it all works out."
Once again Vlad sighed. The rumor the Box Ghost had said earlier played in his head. No, Daniel wasn't the Ghost Prince. He was just a very lucky boy who had found a group of people to love and take care of him after the rest, including himself where gone.
Yeah Dan's mouth is bad, and I Hop you like this and please review! ^^
