A Ghostly Imaginary Friend
A/N: It is so much fun to mess with Jazz. In this chapter I'm seriously screwing around with her. 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. 6 Not going to be Today
A few hours later
LD was lay on his stomach against the floor drawing with his many colored crayons. DP has fallen asleep on the bed completely stretched out taking as much space on the bed as possible.
"Danny, Jazz, dinner" Maddie yelled up the stairs.
DP was awoken from the sudden yell. He stretched out and gave a yawn.
"Hey, should be going down to dinner" DP said noticing LD hadn't moved from his spot.
"After what happened earlier I'd rather not" LD started "besides I'm kinda full from the cookies."
"Come on I bet they forget all about it" DP said.
"My Dad would forget about something like that but not my sister and mom" LD said.
"Well, you can always do what I do when I want to avoid my parents" DP said with a smile.
"What" LD asked looking at DP?
"Wait till everyone's asleep and then get something to eat" DP answered.
"What if they come into my room" LD asked.
"Simple, pretend you're asleep" DP informed.
They heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
"And now would be an excellent time to practice this tactic" DP said.
LD crawled to his pillow and lay down closing his eyes pretending to be asleep.
"Danny aren't" was all Maddie got out as she opened the door and thought Danny was asleep.
Maddie closed the door as quietly as she could and left.
"She's gone" DP said from the foot of the bed.
LD throws off the covers and climbed out of bed.
"We just keep doing this all day" LD asked.
"No" DP answered just till everyone else is asleep."
The rest of the night playing games with each other, keeping quit so no one knew LD was awake.
"Everyone's asleep let's go" DP said.
"There's no way will get down the stairs with out some one waking up. The stairs kinda creak" LD started. "My dad sleeps like a rock and Jazz sleeps with one of those tapes with sea noises on it but mom is a little sleeper she hear us."
"Just hold my hand and will phase down stairs" DP said holding out his hand.
LD just looked at DP questioning.
"Don't worry" DP said.
LD took his hand and DP turned them both intangible. LD gave a gasp as he saw himself slowly go throw the floor. LD closed his eyes slightly afraid and when he opened them again he was floating above the kitchen table.
"Cool" LD said in an aw kind of way.
DP and LD slowly floated down to the floor. Once safely on the ground DP let go of LD's hand.
"That was so cool" LD shouted.
DP quickly clamped his hand over his younger self's mouth.
"Shhhh" DP started "Part of sneaky is being quit" DP finished listening to see if any of the Fenton family awoke from LD's out burst.
"Sorry" LD apologized in a whisper.
"That's ok every ones still asleep" DP informed "So what do you want to eat?" DP asked.
"You think they deliver pizza this late" LD asked.
"No they don't and I think a door bell may wake up your family" DP said.
"Well, you know how to make hot dogs" LD asked making that his second option in preferred dinner favorites.
"That I can do" DP answered "You get ketchup and buns, I'll get the pot and dogs."
DP dropped four hot dogs into the boiling water and sat down at the table waiting for them to cook.
"I prefer hot dogs on the grill" LD said.
"Well unless you want to get out the grill this will have to do" DP replied.
"I said I prefer hot dogs on the grill but this is ok too" LD admitted.
Both LD and DP ate their hot dogs quietly before DP phased LD back to his room and they both went to sleep.
Day 4
All the Fenton family minus Danny was in the kitchen.
"Mom why are there hot dog buns and ketchup on the table" Jazz asked noticing the strange items to have on the breakfast table.
"We're having hot dogs for breakfast" Jack exclaimed.
"But I had hot dogs last night" LD said finally coming into the kitchen.
"Danny you don't even know how to work the stove" Jazz said as LD was going around the kitchen grabbing items for breakfast.
"Danny you shouldn't play with the stove you could hurt your self" Maddie said to her youngest.
"But I didn't use the stove Danny Phantom did" LD whined.
"I don't know which is worst you blaming things on your imaginary friend or the fact you couldn't come up with a more creative name for your imaginary friend" Jazz rambled on.
"Well tell your friend Mr. Phantom to be careful when using the stove" Maddie said tuning out Jazz.
"Okay" LD said finally collecting all his items for breakfast consisting of a bowl, 2 spoons, a quart of milk, and a box of cereal.
LD then left the kitchen and processed to his room.
"Mom you shouldn't encourage him with his imaginary friend" Jazz said realizing that her mother pretended to believe in the imaginary friend Phantom.
"O come on Jazz it's perfectly normal for him to have an imaginary friend" her mom informed. "Besides you had an imaginary friend when you were four remember."
"Yeah what did you call her" Jack finally spoke up form the table. "Brainy Betty that was it."
"I remember you always had us take you two to the library, you played dress up, and had those cute little tea parties" Maddie said remembering her daughter's younger years.
"You even invited your brother to some of them;" her father started in again "put an apron or hat on him and sometimes even put him in one of your dresses."
"You know you shouldn't have put dresses on your brother and braid his hair" Maddie said remembering the rather odd clothes and hair styles Danny had on at Jazz's tea parties.
"Danny never told me to stop or not to do it" Jazz said trying to sound innocent.
"He was two he was just learning to speak and he didn't have any clue that what he was wearing was wrong" Maddie informed.
"O my god" Jazz started "I might have ruined his little psyche, I need a therapy book" Jazz said running out of the kitchen to her room to get one of her therapy books.
Up in Danny's room LD walked in carrying all the items as best he could. Phantom rushed over and relieved LD of a little of his load.
"Thanks" LD said "Hope you like fruit loops."
"Sure do ate them for most of my childhood and still do" DP said.
'I also happen to know one' DP said in his head.
"Good cause it was either that or total" LD said.
"Hey where's my bowl" DP said.
"I couldn't carry two bowls I'll get another one while I get the orange juice" LD said getting ready to leave again.
"No I'll get it, I can do it faster" DP said phasing through the floor.
"That is so cool" LD said watching DP disappear through the floor.
DP showed up down stairs right in the middle of the family reminiscing about Jazz's imaginary friend. He just shrugged and started filling two glasses with orange juice and getting another bowl. No body seemed to notice glasses; a carton of orange juice and a bowl float around with nothing holding them up.
Suddenly Jazz shouted out something about a therapy book and ran off. DP shook his head saying typically Jazz as he took the glasses and bowl up stairs.
As DP and LD were finishing their breakfast LD asked "So what are we doing today?"
"You're supposed to ask your parents to take you to the park remember" DP said.
"That's right, you were going to help me meet some new friends there" LD said jumping of the bed to go down stairs and ask his parents to go to the park.
Little Danny came walking into the kitchen as the rest of the Fenton family was just finishing breakfast. Jazz had gone back upstairs to get a book and had returned downstairs to read it. His dad was scraping the last bit of cereal out of his bowl. The he singled out his mother at the sink and move in for the kill.
"Mom" he said coming to stand next to him.
"Yes honey" She said looking down at her son.
"Can you take me to the park now" LD asked.
"No I'm sorry but your father and I are getting really close to finishing the lab." She started. "And if we keep working we'll have it done by dinner."
"But you promised yesterday you'd take me if the weather is nice" LD almost yelled. "Have you looked outside its warm and sunny it's good weather to go to the park."
"I'm sorry Danny but your father and I really want to finish this" Maddie said to her son.
"But you promised and aren't you one always said 'If a promised you don't keep it will haunt you in your sleep.' Danny started.
"And while you under your quilt you will have a conscience filled with guilt" Jazz finished for him looking up from her book only for a brief moment.
"But if it's cards you like to play sneak in at night and sleep all day" Jack recited.
"What do cards have to do with promising to go to the park" Danny yelled getting mad and running up to his room.
The Fentons watched the youngest run away in anger.
"Cards and sleep all day" Maddie said turning to her husband. "Is that what you used the night you said you'd be home by 11 and sunk in at 3 and slept all day saying you didn't feel well." Maddie said with a hint of anger.
"Well" Jack said with a goofy grin on and with out another word ran down to the lab.
DP was looking out the window at the sunny weather when his younger self came in. L Danny had a very sad and defeated look on his face.
"Let me guess it's a no go" DP said.
"Yep" LD answered. "Now what are we going to do?"
"Well is there a game you want to play to take your mind off of it" DP asked.
"Hmm, you know how to play checkers" L Danny asked.
"Of course, why?" DP asked.
"Jazz was teaching me but then she gave up because it had nothing to do with her new interest" L Danny said with a hint of disliking Jazz's new interest.
'She stopped teaching me; I always thought she taught me everything but apparently my memories of this age are not all correct' DP thought to him self.
"So you want me to teach you how to play checkers" DP asked.
L Danny just nodded.
"Okay let's start with what you already know" DP said.
Not more than a few minutes later the checker board with all the pieces in place.
"I think you pretty much got a good idea of how to play the game I don't see what else I can teach you" DP said looking at the board holding their half played game.
"Are we still going to finish the game" L Danny asked.
"Of course, king me" DP said moving one of his pieces.
Jazz worried that her younger brother was suffering a brake down of his small psyche, was slowly cracking the door to his room open to peek in. What Jazz saw was about to make her question any earlier theories.
Danny was sitting on his bed with his checker board that by judging from the position of the pieces he was in the middle of a game but a game with whom? Danny moved one of his pieces into place. Jazz watched as a different piece moved to jump Danny's on its own.
"What was that?" Jazz yelled as she pushed the door open completely.
"What are you talking about" Danny asked trying to act like he had no idea what she meant.
"That checker moved on its own" Jazz said pointing to the checker piece "how'd you do it?"
"I didn't do it, it was Danny Phantom" L Danny said pointing to the spot opposite of him.
"I don't how you're doing all these things but I'm going to find out" Jazz yelled and left.
"She's never going to believe me is she" L Danny asked DP.
"My guess would be no" DP answered. "Where's she going in a rush?"
"When she can't explain something she turns to that psychology show where they use all these big words and then take calls" L Danny explained.
"So you want to finish the game" DP asked to change the subject.
"Uh no you're going to win for sure" L Danny said.
"Fine but you should learn not to give up without a fight" DP said swiping the checkers off the board. "What do we do now?" DP asked.
"Well Jazz has the TV for the next two hours" L Danny said thinking.
"We played every game you have" DP said looking at his stack of board games in the corner.
"What do you do for fun" L Danny asked.
"The thing I do that I find the most fun is flying around" DP said remembering the best part of being a halfa was flying.
"I wish I could fly, I'm jealous at the birds cause they can fly and when they do they seem happy, flying is the coolest thing" L Danny said with longing.
DP looked out the window and got an idea "So you want to come flying with me or not?"
L Danny turned to look him as DP opened the window.
"What, how" a stunted Danny asked.
"Just climb on and hold on" DP said kneeling down implying L Danny climb on his back like a piggyback ride.
L Danny climbed onto DP and his little fingers grabbed the shoulders of his jump suit.
"Ready" DP asked the little boy.
L Danny gave a nod and in the blink of an eye DP shoots out the open window and was soaring through the sky.
L Danny buried his face and held on tighter at the sudden speed obtained.
"Don't worry I won't let you fall open your eyes" DP said felling his younger self's fear.
L Danny did he slowly lifted his head and looked around. He was amazed at the sights. He was high above the houses and felt like every limit put on him was gone. He gasped at the sight and smiled the biggest smile DP had seen on him since they first meet.
This what L Danny need the most to have some fun to forget his problems for now and just have fun and get out.
As DP passed a now finished building he got an idea how to have a little more fun and it involved doing something every kid thinks at one time in their life.
