A Ghostly Imaginary Friend
A/N: Here's something to be thankful for a new chapter. Any way I got tired of typing out full names so Little Danny Fenton is now L Danny or LD and Black Time is BT and Danny Phantom is DP. Should read A Halfa's Best Friend before reading this or you wouldn't understand a few things and I hate repeating my self.
Ch.5 What does Jazz Know?
After a tortures two hours of watching preschool programming DP was ready to scream. Luckily for him his younger self had no interest in the next few programs on.
"Well guess we should back to unpacking" L Danny said turning off the TV.
"And while we're at it lets bring some much needed variety of shows that aren't staring puppets" DP said.
"What's that suppose to mean" L Danny asked.
"It means for my sanity it's time to out grow those preschool programs" DP answered.
"Okkkay" L Danny said not really catching what DP was getting at.
"Finally just two more boxes and we're done" DP said as him and L Danny were continuing unpacking upstairs.
"Danny, Jazz, Dinner" came the call from their mother downstairs.
"Looks like we'll have to finish those after dinner" L Danny said. "By the way since you're psychic what are we having for dinner?" L Danny asked stopping at the door.
DP thought for a moment then answered "ham sandwiches."
L Danny went down stairs to get his dinner. Jazz was setting the table, Jack was at the table already with a ghost hunting invention in hand, and Maddie was getting the ham and bread out of the fridge.
"Mom you don't mind if I eat in my room?" L Danny asked.
"Sure but why?" Maddie asked her son.
"Uh…Jazz is being mean to me" Danny said pointing at Jazz.
"What!" Jazz said turning her head to look at Danny.
"Jazz what did we tell you about getting along with your little brother" Maddie said stopping for a moment to look at Jazz.
"He's lying" Jazz said. "He hit me with a pillow."
"You said me and my friend were stupid" LD said with poor grammar use sage.
"Jazz, Danny I don't…." Maddie stopped mid sentence "Danny you have a friend already? Where did you meet him you haven't been out of the house all day?"
"Um…" LD started.
"It's this imaginary friend that's invisible" Jazz answered "That's so lame brother."
"See that's why I don't want to eat at the same table as her" Danny yelled.
"And don't want to eat at the same table with you" Jazz yelled back.
"Enough out of both of you" Maddie said "Both of you can eat in your rooms until you two can get along."
Later both Jazz and Danny went to their rooms with their sandwiches.
With the force at which LD opened the door and closed it DP gathered something was wrong.
"I may regret this but want to tell me what happened" DP asked.
"My stupid sister, sometimes she is just so annoying" LD answered putting his plate holding two sandwiches on the bed and placing his large cup of milk on the night stand.
"Yeah, sisters are like that" DP said starting his sandwich.
"Good thing I have a friend like you" LD said "and we'll be friends forever."
"Danny forever is a long time" DP said looking down sorry for what he needed to tell him.
"What's that suppose to mean? You're not goanna leave me are you?" LD asked in a desperate plea.
"Danny I'm here for this week and this week only" DP said.
"Why" LD replied on the brink of tears.
"What would you say if I told you I could get you two new friends?" DP asked in a complete change of subject.
"What" LD asked confused by DP's answer.
He turned his head toward DP, a questioning look on his face.
"I'll get you two new friends before I leave" DP said.
"How" LD said.
"Don't worry, leave everything to me" DP answered. "Now eat your dinner." DP said.
"So" LD asked watching DP pace the room an hour later.
"I'm thinking" DP responded. "Why don't you go take the dishes back to the kitchen, I'll think of it by then."
LD left with the empty plates and glass while DP continued to think.
DP was trying hard to remember how and when he meet Sam and Tucker, it was only ten years ago but when you think about it, it was a long time ago.
He heard the door slowly open signaling LD's return.
"Some of its coming back" DP said softly "I got it" he shouted.
"You got what, you thought of a way for me to make some new friends" LD asked with excitement.
"Yep" DP responded.
"Tell me, tell me the plan" LD begged.
"Okay just get your parents to take you to the park tomorrow and I'll handle the rest" DP said.
DP couldn't remember the exact day he met either Sam or Tucker but he knew it was in the park.
Day 3
The next day was not going to be the day LD was going to meet his new friends.
The skies were covered in clouds and the rain poured on objects below.
"It's getting really bad outside" DP said looking out his window.
"Mom promised if it's nice tomorrow they'll take me" LD replied.
"So what should we do till then?" DP asked.
"Breakfast" LD responded.
"You sure you should leave my room you said you didn't want my parents to know you're here" LD said to DP as they walked downstairs.
"What part of invisible do you not understand" DP said.
"But I can see you" LD said.
"You're the only one who can see me when I'm invisible" DP responded.
They walked into an empty kitchen.
"Where are mom and dad?" LD asked.
"Down in the basement turning it into a ghost hunting lab" Jazz said walking in from behind.
"Cool" LD responded.
"Cool! O no mom and dad have already polluted your mind with all this ghost nonsense" Jazz yelled.
"What's wrong with ghosts?" LD asked.
"Ghost don't exist Danny" Jazz informed.
"So she says" DP said only loud enough for LD to hear.
LD started to giggle but stopped when Jazz turned to look at him.
"What's so funny?" Jazz asked.
"You said ghosts don't exist and it's so obverse they do" LD said.
"Really what proof do you have?" Jazz questioned.
"DP said they're real and he's a ghost I think he would know" LD said.
Jazz started to ramble on about the reasons why ghosts couldn't exist and how Danny shouldn't be using his imaginary friends as an outlet for his own beliefs and ideas. L Danny wasn't listening to a word she said and not just because the learned how to tune her out. It was because DP was standing behind her doing a goofy imitation of her.
LD couldn't hold it any longer and he burst out laughing.
Jazz stopped mid-sentence when he stated to laugh.
"Now what?" Jazz asked.
You'd have to see it to get it" LD started ", but you can't because he's invisible."
Jazz gave a frustrated groan and left the kitchen.
"What's her problem" DP said.
"I don't know" LD replied.
"Cereal?" DP said holding up a box.
"Love some" LD said holding out a bowl.
Later that day
"Nothing like some violent TV" DP said.
"Why does Robin keep saying weird things like 'O golly gosh Batman' or 'Holly pancakes Batman'?" LD asked.
"I didn't know when I first saw this show and I still don't know" DP said.
"There's a lot of violence in this show mostly punching" LD said "I'm not sure I should be watching this."
"You'll learn to like it it's much better than those other shows you watch" DP said. "Also you're other friends like this show."
LD was going too responded when he began to sniff the air.
"I smell fresh cookies" LD said.
"Mmmmmmmmm, good old fashion chocolate chips before she started experimenting and made chocolate, caramel whatca macalits" DP said.
"She, She who?" LD asked.
Doesn't matter, never mind" DP answered.
L Danny didn't catch the last half as he was already heading for the kitchen.
Danny being a 5 year old was distracted by sweets.
DP followed LD to the kitchen.
Maddie was already taking the cooling cookies off the tray and onto the cooling tray.
LD reached out for a cookie but Maddie slapped his hand away.
"Danny you know cookies are for after dinner" Maddie said.
"But I want one now" LD whined.
"No" Maddie responded.
"Not just one" LD begged.
"Danny you can wait till dinner" Maddie said.
"But dinner is like a gazillion hours away" LD whined again.
"Danny that's not even a real number and we're having dinner in 4 hours." Maddie as she put the now cool cookies in the cookie jar. She then got a chair to stand on and placed it up and on the top of the fridge so LD couldn't reach and put the chair back then went back down to the basement.
"I want a cookie now" LD said stomping his foot.
"If only you were a few feet taller or had a ladder, or could fly" DP said now standing behind him.
"I can't," LD started "but you can" LD said a mischievous grin on his face.
"Are you implying that I fly up there and get the cookie jar for you?" DP asked looking down at his younger self.
"Uh, yes" LD said after thinking over DP's words.
"Can't argue with that" DP said.
DP slowly rose off the floor floating to the top of the fridge. He picked up the cookie jar and came back to the floor. DP opened the jar and lowered it for LD. LD's hand dove right in. He had just pulled one cookie out when a sudden bang from the basement surprised both Danny and his younger self. But with ghost powers the sudden noise made DP's arms go intangible and the cookie jar slipped right through his hands and shattered on the floor. DP heard footsteps coming to the kitchen and quickly turned invisible.
Jazz came running in looking at Danny with the cookie in his hand to the broken cookie jar on the floor.
"Ooooo you're going to be in so much trouble" she said.
"But I didn't do it" LDanny started.
Then the sound of some one running up stairs could be heard. Then the basement door flew open and Maddie walked out.
"What broke?" Maddie asked.
Jazz not wanting to miss seeing Danny get in trouble pointed to the broken cookie jar. Seeing the cookie in Danny's hand and the broken jar on the floor Maddie turned to Danny with an angry mother look.
"Danny what did I say about the cookies" Maddie said looking down her son.
"But I didn't do it" LD tried again.
"Danny I won't have you lying" Maddie said.
"Face it little brother you're in so much trouble" Jazz teased.
"But I didn't" LD stared "It was Danny Phantom."
"Who's that" Maddie asked.
"It's his stupid imaginary friend" Jazz said.
"He's not imaginary" Danny demanded.
"Then how come no one but you can see him" Jazz asked.
"Because he's a ghost really Jazz you just don't get it" LDanny yelled.
"Did some one say ghost" Jack yelled after he rushed up the stairs and the mention of a ghost.
Jazz slapped her forehead like saying not again. Danny did the same but for a totally different reason. He just blew it, he just told his parents about Danny Phantom after his promised he won't.
"I didn't say ghost" both LDanny and Jazz said at the same time.
"Danny ghosts aren't something to lie about" Maddie said to him.
LD was in a real fix he didn't like being called a liar but he couldn't tell them the truth other wise he'd brake his promise to DP.
"I didn't do it" LDanny yelled. "I couldn't do it I can't reach that high even with a chair I'd need a ladder."
For once LD was using logic. That did stump his mom, it was true he was too short to reach and there was no way he could climb up there.
"I'd like to say you got the ladder, took down the cookie jar, and then put the ladder back but it's not true on the fact the ladder weights five time as much as you." Jazz said.
"You know I'm not going to stand here and be called a liar." Danny said running off with the cookie still in his hand.
"You're not going to make him tell how he really got the cookie jar" Jazz said to her mother.
"Jasmine there is no logical way your brother could reach that high" Maddie told her daughter.
'But how did he get it' both Maddie and Jazz thought to them selves.
LD opened his bedroom door rather mad at his mother and sister and the same time scared what would happen because of his out burst then running off.
"Sorry, what kind of punishment your mom give you" DP asked already in his room sitting on the bed.
"I didn't get punished," LD said closing the door "I told them there was no way I could do it then I ran off."
"Running works, until they come after you" DP said.
"Called me a liar, it makes me mad when I'm called a liar when I'm telling the truth" LD said.
"Well, have a cookie sweets makes everything better" DP said holding up a napkin full of cookies.
"How did you get those?" LD asked.
"While my…. I mean your sister was keeping an eye on you I swiped them" DP said making a save from almost saying his sister.
A/N: Please review. Next time the Fenton family is going to realize a few more odd things mostly Jazz.
