Chapter 5: like mother like daughter
(3rd person)
Philippus and Lily walked into the throne room of Ulala, Empress of the Clarion galaxy and the benevolent twin sister of Moira. Ulala formed the intergalactic Safety Organization in order to stop her evil twin. "Your highness" Philippus said "What is it now?" Ulala spoke "The traitor known as Plasmius is back on his home planet" Lily explained "a group of angry ghost took him to the ghost zone with plans on removing his powers" "then let us hope that Moira doesn't find out" Unfortunately Moira's henchman, Stefan, was spying and told his boss what was happening.
Meanwhile, Skulker and his girlfriend, Ember McClain, were reveling at the fact that they had the unconscious Plasmius in their hands. "I guess I was wrong" Ember said "You are a good hunter." "Think you could get that pesky ghost girl for me?" "Sure honey" they kissed.

"Bye mom! I'm going to Ursula's pool party!" I said. "Hold up Ashley!" mom said "You're not going to a pool party in a bikini!" "But mom-!" I said "But mom nothing" she retorted "Now go change into something less revealing" This always happens! I thought Mom always disapproves of me showing any skin! She was against me trying out for the cheerleading squad… I wish I knew what her mom was like- wait a minute! I called Sasha and Raquel up immediately "Sash, Raq, change of plans." "We're going to my gramma's house."
I knocked on the door of Fenton Works. "Ashley!" Gramma said "What are you and your friends doing here?" "I have some questions about my mom's parents" "Well, come inside!" she said "I'll see what I can answer for you"

Plasmius was hogtied to the walls of skulker's house. For the first time in his adult life, he was frightened out of his wits. Suddenly the shadow of a woman came forth. It was the evil Queen Moira. "Tsk Tsk, couldn't stop that asteroid could we, now? She said to him "Don't remind me" he muttered. "Obviously the world needed a hero and you foolishly took him away," Moira continued. "I bet those ghost powers must give you an awful lot of pain. But don't worry I plan on taking you out of your misery." And with one bite, Moira sucked the ghost dna out of plasmius' body, all while skulker watched in disbelief. She's clearly not a ghost… he thought But she took away his powers. Whether she is friend or foe is not important now what is is, his human half will be much easier to kill…
But now that plasmius was no longer a ghost, he slipped through the restraints and fell unconscious into Marla Wycotch's hands.
Meanwhile, Skulker's girlfriend was arriving at Ursula Spears pool party. She rang the door bell. "Hello?" Ursula answered "Hi" Ember said coyly. "We're the… entertainment"
(Ashley's POV)
"So my maternal grandparents thought you guys were freaks?" I said "Well, yeah until your Aunt Jazz made us talk to each other." Gramma said.
"Now we're all pretty good friends." "But why doesn't my mom speak to her parents anymore?" "Well your mom and grandparents never saw eye to eye." Gramma said "Where do they live?" I asked.
"Remind me again, why am I dressed like a campfire girl?" Raquel asked. We were standing in front of my maternal grandparents' house "Because we need someone to distract my grandparents while I sneak inside." I responded. "Now go, and remember the script" Seconds later Raquel was ringing the doorbell. A blonde man answered the door. Right on cue, Raq said "Campfire Girls! Would you like to buy some cupcakes?" "Sure" the man said "Come inside" That's when Sasha and I made our move. Well mostly me, after all I'm the only one of my friends who can walk through walls.
"We did it! We did it! Lo hicimos! We did it!" Sasha cried "Shhh…" I said back. That's when I noticed that the basement was really a home movie theater. "Wow! This is amazing" I said. Suddenly we heard a sound from the next room. We walked inside to find my little brother, Logan, Sasha's brother, and Raquel's brother Steve playing in the bowling alley. "What are you dweebs doing here? I asked. "We followed you." Logan said. I snarled. We both changed into ghost form and attacked each other. Once I had Logan pinned down on the floor we heard a voice say "What's going on down here?" We looked up to see a redhead woman in pedal pushers walking downstairs. "What are you doing in my house?" "We are so sorry m'am" I said "We thought this was-" "It's okay" the woman said "I know who you are Ashley" "Wait you know my name?" "Of course I do, You're my daughter's children" she said "No come upstairs and we'll talk about why we've never met before" "Okay…" I said then I realized "Wait what should I call you?" "Bubbie would be fine"

"Where's Ashley?" Ursula asked "She's missing out on all the fun!" suddenly her cell phone rang. It was Ashley's mom "hello Mrs. Fenton!" Ursula said cheerfully. Samantha sighed. "Ursula is Ashley there?" "Nope. Never showed up" she responded. "Ugh! This is all my fault!" Samantha responded. Dan came running down the stairs. "My mom called" he said "turns out she's-" "Wait a minute" Samantha said. "Ursula is there a woman with blue flames for hair at your party?" "Uh yeah" Ursula said "Why?" "We'll be right there" She hung up and turned to her husband "we've gotta save those kids danny!" "Sam, wait!" dan said. And she was gone.
When Samantha arrived at Ursula's Party, every paused. "Ash! You made it!" "Yes I see that" Ember said "And your coming home with me" "For what?" a voice said from behind. Ember turned around. It was the voice of Phantom. "I believe my boyfriend Skulker would like your daughters pelt on his wall." "Wait! Skulker's your BOYFRIEND?" dan said. Samantha punched Ember down into the pool. "You've just earned your 'uh-der' patch" she said to her husband. "Never mind" Dan said "I know where Ashley and Logan are come on."
(Ashley's POV)
"So you're saying my mom has ghost powers like dad?" I bawked. "Yes," my maternal grandfather, zeddie, said. "Why didn't she tell you?" "I don't know" I said "I mean she told you right?" "Well no," Bubbie said "Your dad told us" "Why wouldn't my mom tell you herself?" I asked "We always were prejudice against the Fentons early on" Bubbie said. "Mm-hmm" Gramma said "remember that argument we got into about my manicotti presentation?" "Unfortunately yes" bubbie said then they laughed. Suddenly Raquel came down the stairs with a heap of hideous dresses "Um, excuse me?" you could see the anger in her face. "Did you try to make your daughter dress like a LIBRARIAN?" again gramma and bubbie laughed. "That was another unfortunate event." Bubbie said. She turned to me. "Your mom always dressed like a goth chick when she was your age." My eyes widened "She did?" "Yep and your bubbie was always trying to get her to wear those dresses." I turned to bubbie "You really should have consulted fashion magazines" "I know" she said "SO how did you and Ashley's Gramma and Grampa put aside your differences?" Sasha said trying to change the subject "It was you aunt Jazz" bubbie said "She helped us work them out while she was studying at Harvard." "Wow…" I mused. "You know you look just like your mother did at your age." Zeddie said "Really?" "Well yeah only your hair's a little longer and your more fully developed." I blushed
Suddenly a whisp of blue came out of my mouth. "Omigosh! You have your dad's ghost sense" Bubbie said. At first I didn't know what she meant. Then I saw a flame-haired woman phasing through the wall. "I've come to take you to Skulker's island." She said. Ember! Then suddenly a woman with white hair green eyes and a black and white jumpsuit pumbled her they wrestled for quite a while. I immediately knew who the white haired woman was. She stuffed Ember into the Fenton Thermos. "And stay away from my daughter!" She said "MOM!" I screamed. I ran over and hugged her "Ashley!" she said "How did you-?" "I… told your mom and dad after the accident." Dad said mom smiled "I guess you learned from your mistake" she responded. Then they kissed. "I'll take her back to the ghost zone, if you don't mind." Grampa said "Thanks dad" dad said, handing grampa and gramma the fenton thermos. "So, Sammi-Kins, Danny, would you like to stay for dinner?" Bubbie said "Sure" mom said. They hugged, then bubbie hugged dad. "So how have you been the past 20 years?" "Fine you?" dad said. She hugged him tight "We missed you and Sam so much"
"So mom how did you get dad's powers?" I asked. "Well, Skulker shot me down on our honeymoon, and your dad gave me a blood transfusion." She answered "How come we have no pictures of your wedding?" I wondered. "Well we got married in a courthouse." Dad said. "We really should get married officially" mom said. "Oh that's a wonderful idea." Bubbie said "Dan I'll call back your parents and invite them to dinner" "You mean there's gonna be a WEDDING?" Logan bawked. "Looks like it." Mom said. "How romantic" said Raquel.
