Okay, this took longer than I thought to upload, sorry for the wait. Oh, and just letting you guys know, this is a long chapter. A very long chapter.
-- Start of Chapter --
Sam liked Danny; in fact you could say that she was in love with him. But Danny was her best friend. If she told Danny how she felt it might wreck their friendship. What if he didn't lover her back? She spent weeks trying to find the courage to ask him. She made up her mind, and on the walk home form school, she was going to do it
--
Danny and Sam were walking home from school. It was cloudy, and it looked like it was going to rain. Sam looked at Danny, who was thinking about the English test tomorrow that he knew he was going to fail. Sam took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.
"Danny?" Sam said trembling inside.
"Yeah?" Danny asked. He looked back, and saw Sam standing there, eyes closed, shaking. "What's the matter?"
"There's something I want to tell you," She sighed, as she opened her eyes, "but I don't know how to say it."
Danny looked at her, and smiled. "Well, whatever it is, you know you can tell me anything. We're best friends. I'm here for you Sam, always."
Sam bit down on her lip, and clenched her fists. "Danny… I…" But before she could say another word, Danny's ghost sense went off. 'Perfect,' Sam thought, 'Just when I was ready to tell him everything.'
Danny looked around, but didn't see anything. But then he heard a painful scream, and he looked up. A girl ghost was falling towards Danny and Sam. Danny grabbed Sam, and shielded her, as the girl slammed into the street. Dust filled the air, and Danny & Sam turned around. The ghost was obviously hurt but she grunted, and got to her feet.
"Are you okay?" Danny asked, looking at her wounds. The ghost looked at Danny and Sam, and she gasped.
"What?" Sam asked.
"You need to go and hide! This fight does not concern you." She said quickly, as she turned around and braced for an epic battle.
"What are you…?" Danny asked, but before he could ask a question, a flash of black light hit the ground, and the earth beneath them shook.
"Go!" She screamed at them. "RUN!"
Danny grabbed Sam's hand. "Oh, I'm going. Going to get help!"
An alert went off in the ghost's mind, and she screamed, "NO!" She pushed them into an alleyway, behind a dumpster, and pinned him up against the wall.
"What are you doing?" Danny demanded, as Sam just stood in shock.
"I told you that this battle does not concern you! Do not get involved!" She said sternly, still pinning him to the wall.
"But…" Danny said, trying to break free.
"Go means 'go run and hide'. It does not mean, 'go find a safe place to go ghost and fly to the rescue!"
Danny stopped struggling. He looked at her and was speechless.
"What did you say?" Danny asked, looking into her eyes. A blast of light hit the dumpster, and a deep cold voice said, "You can't hide from me forever Lilly! Come out and face me!"
Lilly looked at Danny, then at Sam, and then whispered, "Stay hidden." She let go of Danny, and run into the street.
Danny was still in shock. He crept to the edge of the corner, and Sam followed. They saw Lilly standing in the street. She was looking forward, and she looked like she was frightened to the core. Danny turned his head, and saw what she was seeing. Standing 10 feet in front of her was another ghost. Danny could tell right away that this ghost was bad. His hair was like white fire, his eyes were blood red, his skin was blue, and his hands were glowing black. Danny saw something else too. Around his neck was one of Clockwork's medallions.
"So you decided not to run after all. I always knew you were as stubborn as our father!" The ghost laughed, grinning.
"I don't want to fight you David! You're my brother. I won't fight you!" Lilly screamed, covering up her fear.
"That's too bad Lilly, because I want to fight you!" And with that, David fired a black ghost ray straight at Lilly. She dodged his ray, and fired a purple one at him.
Danny watched in amazement. Lilly and David were displaying such power and skill that was unmatched. Not only were they able to successfully duplicate themselves, but they were both able to use ice powers. They were going at each other at full speed, dodging attacks, and hitting each other with everything they had.
David and Lilly were now at a standstill. David was out of breath, and Lilly looked like she was about to collapse.
"Just face it…" David huffed, "No matter what you throw at me, I'll just dodge it."
"You're wrong David," Lilly said, her strength returning. "There is one thing even you can't dodge!" She stood up, and took a deep breath.
"No way!" Danny whispered. "It can't be!"
But it was. She opened her mouth, and an ear-shattering cry was heard. Purple streams of energy came flying out of her mouth towards David. He braced his arms like an X in front of his face, and for a few seconds, he was able to block the ghostly wail. But he lost too much energy and fell to the ground.
On his hands and knees he lowered his head in pain. Black rings appeared at his waist. The rings went up and down his body, causing him to change form. His hair was no longer on fires, and turned black. His clothes changed too. Now he was wearing a black T-shirt, tan jeans, and black sneakers.
Danny's jaw dropped. "He's a halfa?" He gasped. David had his head lowered, so Danny couldn't see his face. But Danny still couldn't believe that this boy was just like him. He then thought, 'What about the girl? Was she a halfa too?'
Lilly stopped the ghostly wail, and fell on her knees. She leaned back and took deep breaths. David was still on his hands and knees, and began to laugh.
"Well done sis. You managed to use a ghostly wail without powering down. Mom and Dad would be proud." He re-transformed, and got to his feet. He walked over to Lilly, who was on the verge of passing out. "But know," he said, lifting her off the ground, "you're too weak to fight back!"
Lilly looked into his eyes and a tear fell down her cheek. "Brother…" She whispered, to soar to speak.
"Goodnight Lilly. You'll be with our parents soon…" He grinned. His hands began to glow, and he began to surge ecto-energy through Lilly's body. She gave a load cry of pain, and then purple rings appeared around her waist. Going in opposite directions, it changed her into her human form. She had long curly hair that she dyed purple. She had on a dark purple shirt, with a black tank top on top. She was wearing a denim blue skirt, had on fishnet stockings, and she also had on white boots.
Danny watched in horror. He couldn't hold it in any longer. "No!" He screamed, and got to his feet. "I'm going ghost!" Blue rings appeared and transformed him into Danny Phantom. He flew into the street, and screamed, "LEAVE HER ALONE!"
David turned his head, as Danny punched him in the face. David fell back, dropping Lilly's unconscious body, face down, on the ground. David grunted and looked at Danny. He got a jolt through his body and he gasped, "You?"
David knew he was too weak to fight Danny, and he knew he couldn't win. He stood up, and just as Danny flew in for another punch, David grinned and disappeared. Danny was in mid-swing, and with nothing to hit, he fell to the ground, hard. He got to his feet, and looked out into the street. "Where did he go?"
Sam ran to Lilly, to see if she was all right. She turned her over to make sure she was breathing. When she saw Lilly's face, she gave out a loud gasp. "Danny!" She screamed, as Danny turned back to normal. He ran to Sam, who was standing over Lilly's body, shaking.
"What's the matter? Is she okay?" Danny asked, running up to Sam. Sam looked like she was going to be sick, and Danny didn't know why. He looked at Lilly, and the same feeling came over him.
'Those cheeks, that nose, those lips, it can't be. It just can't be!' Danny thought. But it was. Lilly looked just like Sam. She had longer hair, that was a different color, and she was wearing different clothes, but if Danny weren't standing next to her, he would have thought that it was Sam lying at his feet.
"She looks like you!" Danny said, doing a double take.
"What's going on?" Sam said, still in shock.
"I don't know," Danny said, looking at Sam, then at Lilly, "But we're going to find out!"
-- LATER--
Lilly gave a low moan and opened her eyes. She was very weak, and in terrible pain. She blinked a couple of times, and lifted her head.
"Good. You're awake." A voice said, sternly.
She lifted her head more, and saw Danny and Sam sitting in the corner of the room, watching her.
"Where am I?" She asked, sitting up straight.
"At my house." Danny said, getting to his feet. "You're name's Lilly, right?" Danny said, handing her a glass or water.
"Yes," she said as she took a sip.
"And that ghost you were fighting, he was your brother wasn't he?" Danny asked.
"Yes," she said, as she took another sip. Sam stood up and walked next to Danny. Lilly began to speak, but Danny spoke before her.
"Before you say anything, we have a few more questions to ask you." Danny said, sternly. Lilly shivered and thought, 'This can't be good.'
"How did you and you're brother get ghost powers?" Danny asked.
"Why do you look like me?" Sam yelled.
"Why were you fighting your brother?" Danny asked.
"Why do you look like me?" Sam yelled.
"Why did he have one of Clockwork's time medallions?" Danny asked.
"Why do you look like me?!" Sam yelled.
Lilly just sat there and didn't say a word. She thought back to what Clockwork had said about revealing her identity, but it looked like she had no choice. She had to tell them.
"Well?" Danny and Sam said together.
"I was told not to reveal my identity to anyone, but I guess I have no choice…"
"What are you taking about?" Danny asked, as he looked at Sam, who was just as confused as he was.
"It's funny. I always heard you guys were a little clueless, but I didn't know you guys were stupid."
"WHAT?" Danny and Sam yelled, fuming.
"Oh come on. Look at the facts. My brother and I have ghost powers, my brother is wearing a time medallion, and I look just like Sam. Isn't it obvious?" Lilly said, as she looked at them both. Danny and Sam looked at each other, then at Lilly. Danny saw her face, and looked into her eyes. They were blue, just like his.
"Wait a minute…" Danny said, putting all the puzzle pieces together in his mind.
"Now you're getting it." She smiled. She stood up and said, "My name is Lillith Fenton. I am from the future and you guys are my parents."
