Author's Notes: Thank you to all who reviewed fic. If you have any questions about the OCs I will forward them to Jewel for answering.
Invader Johnny: Danielle is more like her godparent in training, but I figured if anyone needed fairies it was Danni.
Chapter II: Learning Discontent
Timothy Stryke
My head throbbed wildly as I clenched my eyes shut and hid my head under the pillow. It was the best I could do to escape the madness of this place. However my brain reminded me that it had enough sleep and forced me to wake up.
"Uhhh," I moaned as I slowly opened my eyes and saw Wanda staring at me.
"Thank heavens you're all right, we were starting to fear the worse," she told me as I slowly sat up trying to ignore the pain. "I think you should rest more," she insisted as I shook my head.
"I'll be fine," I told her as I heard the sound of glass breaking downstairs, "in fact, I think I'm ready to go back to school tomorrow," I said thinking of the escape it provides me and seeing the one person who truly understands what I'm, going through - Danielle.
I'm not exactly what her biological father did to her before she left but whatever it was bad. I'm her only friend she was as all the others avoid thinking as 'damaged'. She's not like the other kids at school and doesn't make fun of me.
"Well, I'm not sure," Wanda countered as Cosmo appeared beside her, "I don't want you getting hurt," she said concerned.
"Well it can't be any better than here?" Cosmo asked as Wanda glared at him, "What? At least in school there are witnesses," he says as Wanda sighs trying to control her temper.
"Cosmo, why don't go eat...," she began to say before the disappeared in a dramatic explosion. Something must be happening in Fairy World, but I had little time to worry about that was my ears were assaulted by screaming
"Tybalt, you swine all you do is drink! Why don't you do something useful for once or are you waiting until you're so bloated with booze that you'll spontaneous combust!" a shrill voice screamed at the top her lungs. It was my Aunt Sophia
"You hypocritical Harpy!" Uncle Tybalt yelled half drunk at Sophia, "You act like your some kind of saint. Why don't you tell me how shots of whiskey you've had today? Hmmm?" he went on before more bottles could be heard breaking and the sounds of footsteps could be heard coming up the stairs.
I could hear Aunt Sophia complain and yell about something outside my door as the knob turned slamming the door up. "Get up, you lazy good for nothing illegitimate wretch," she hissed coming over to my bed and ripping the sheets off me. "I don't know why your mother keeps you around?" she sneers about to grab me by the neck until she hears someone coming.
"Sophie, you're not waking the poor thing up, he's still ill," I hear my stepmom chime in as my aunt glares at me before turning to her trying to act calm.
"There is nothing wrong with him, he's just lazy and you're coddling him just makes it worse," she says fuming internally. Aunt Sophia hates the fact that she sticks up for me. If my Aunt had it her way, I would be living in the basement with only bread and cheese to eat.
"That's not what the doctors at the hospital said," my step mother countered walking towards me and placed a hand on my forehead, "you have a fever, probably from missing your mommy no doubt," she says tenderly, "I'll get the thermometer," she says leaving
'Anything but that,' I complained mentally as I watch Aunt Sophia storms out as well.
I pulled the sheets over me to hide as I saw mom come with thermometer but stopped midway.
"You know shouldn't spoil like that, he is Twelve after all," a voice with a faint accent chided her. It was my older stepbrother Dex.
He was a real piece of work; I don't even think there is a word in the English language that could properly describe. He was known for his temper and was always getting into serious trouble.
He was like Don Corleone; except he didn't need cronies do to his 'dirty work' for him. I had heard stories that he was responsible for mom and dad's 'accident' and for my older brother Skye's as well.
His teachers say that he is 'sociopathic' and should seek help before his temper winds him up in Juvie or even worse in a body bag. Their threats don't scare him though, he's confident that 'no one will pin this on me' he tells them acting like he's some sort of bigshot.
"Don't worry, Dex, no one can replace you," stepmom tells him lovingly, "you see when you lout of a father left us and got killed. I proved myself the better person and took his illegitimate son in, besides the poor thing needs me," I told explained to him
Danni
"Shouldn't you be heading back before you get in trouble?" Tucker asked me as I changed back into Danni Fenton and walked down street. I wasn't too worried about being late as it was still lunch and gave me a chance to get away from those jerks at school that pick on me. They tease me about my scars and torment every chance they get.
One time during art class, I had flashback of when Vlad used to torture me and this one older kid, Jeremy, snuck up on me and startled me before using a battery and some wires from an old shop project to shock me.
Why won't they leave me alone, I don't do anything to them and just want to get through my life, but that's about as likely to happen as the Box Ghost giving up his love of all things 'cardboard and square.'
"Uh didn't you hear me, I said I think you should be heading back?" Tucker asked again as I snapped out of my nightmare and jumped a bit. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you," he apologized as I caught my breath and smiled.
"That's okay, I still have a...," I began to say as we approached Danny's house and saw his mom and dad standing in front of the door with some sort of device. I knew they were doing, ever since I met Poof I've heard them say that their scanners go wild around me. I'm guess lucky they think it has to do with ghosts and not fairies as that would mean Poof would have to go away.
I began to ran back towards the school as fast as my legs would go praying that I would make back before someone found out that I was missing.
Wanda
"...ding," I chided Cosmo as I realized we were no longer at Mini's house but the Fairy Academy. Something told me that Poof got into trouble again and called for a Fairy-Teacher conference.
"Hey, this isn't the Fairy Convention?" Cosmo said only now realizing that the surroundings had changed. "Who decorated this room Binky's mom?" he asked blissfully ignorant of what was going on.
"COSMO! WANDA!" the voice of Jorgen von Strangle bellowed as he blasted into the room with Poof behind him smiling sheepishly at us. "Do you know why I have called this conference," Jorgen asks taking out a large folder with Poof's name on it.
"Is it to tell us that we may have already won ten million dollars?" my husband asked as Jorgen glared at him menacingly.
"NO!" the tough fairy screamed, "Your son has skipped school again using the Poof doll trick," he said pulling the doll of our son, "This is the sixth time he has done this, what do you have to say about it," he asked as Cosmo raised his hand.
"Cool, the doll still works now where's my prize?" he asked as Jorgen raised his wand and turning Cosmo into a pile of chocolate coins.
"I meant to turn him into a trophy but something is interfering with my magic," Jorgen explained glaring at poof again, "if your son tries the trick again, I will have expelled in put in my Juvie Fairy Camp!" Jorgen threatened before he poofed out of the room leaving the three of us.
"Poof, what did we tell you about skipping school," I asked my son as we floated over to where he was standing. I don't why he does this; I know he has the brains to succeed but common sense he seemed to have inherited from Cosmo.
"That's important for me to not skip school, I know the drill I remember you telling Timmy Turner that before you got reassigned," he said rolling his eyes, "It was just the lesson was so boring and Danni really needed cheering up," he said as I sighed, despite his mischievous side he did care for his godchild very much.
"Well, while I don't approve your actions, I am glad that showed concerned for your godkid in training," I tell him proudly, "You'll make a fine fairy godparent when you grow up," I tell him giving him a hug.
"Speaking of godkids how's Mini doing?" he asked as I sighed, while I knew he meant good, the thought of what poor Timmy goes through is too much for me to bear sometimes. That stepmom of his claims she cares for him but it's all just an act.
We've even tried to grant the Fairy Council to make an exception and declare Timmy a magical being on behalf of his telekinesis so that he could come live in Fairy World with us but Jorgen says every time 'the answer is no, according to Da Rules humans that have magical like abilities are still humans and even if he was declared non-human and magical the ancient treaty said that only fairies can live in Fairy World,' that stupid law, if that monster of a king, Pariah, hadn't tried to invade Fairy World thousands of years ago then we wouldn't have this problem getting Mini accepted as a magical creature and he would be free of that farce of a family.
"He's recovering from a concussion and had to miss school but we'll hoping he'll be all right," I tell him. He loves Timmy very much, in fact he's like a brother to Poof (it's another reason we try to adopt Timmy) in fact it was he and Cosmo who came up with name Mini (it was after Cosmo and Poof had just finished Austin Powers a hundred times in a row).
"Tell him I hope he gets better," Poof said as he tried to leave but I stopped him.
"Not so fast sport, there's still the matter of your punishment," I told him as I changed Cosmo back to normal and taking both him and our son by the ear and left for home so we could talk.
Dan Phantom
"Curse my younger self," I steamed as I sat in the darkness of the Fenton Thermos. I had been here for an eternity it seems thanks to the meddling time master, Clockwork. If he had interfered things would have transpired as they should have.
Those blithering idiots Clockwork answers to had tried to kill me in my timeline, but after I took over the Ghost Zone the master of time disappeared along with the Observants. I searched years trying to find them but they eluded me. However that won't happen in this timeline.
I could feel Thermos weakening; soon I will be free once more and will make sure that my 'worse half' pays for this insult. "I just need to keep blasting this thing," I said shooting an ectoblast at it.
"What are you trying to do?" I heard Clockwork ask as I stopped, "you know that if even you succeeded in escaping I merely have to reverse time to before the thermos broke and you would be back inside," he bragged as I laughed at his threat.
"What makes you think you can do that?" I asked him slyly, "I'm sure the Observants wouldn't like that," I told casually knowing how much he hates them.
"That's not your concern," the old ghost snaps before he leaves me in peace.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that," I whispered as I went back to blasting the thermos inching my way closer to freedom and revenge.
Anti-Binky
"There you go it's up and running," HP said drawly as he handed me a contract to sign. I couldn't believe that I, the terrifying Anti-Binky, had been reduced to Anti-Cosmo's legal advisor.
"There you go," I said signing it before giving back him to him, "Anti-Cosmo should be pleased with how smoothly things are going," I said trying to sound excited about the plan even though I knew it was a waste of energy.
We're Anti-Fairies, feared bringers of bad luck for centuries. The whole universe feared us as Anti-Cosmo led us to victory but now it seems like we've reduced to a bunch of fools and I have been punished for complaining about it.
"You don't seem yourself Anti-Binky, have you been having tax problems?" HP asked as I turned to face him.
"No, it's just that I think that Anti-Cosmo has gone soft. I mean, fixing the Big Anti-Wand wants the point in that?" I explained as the pixie smiled.
"You noticed that too, huh?" he said trying to sound sneaky, "maybe you should have a hostile takeover of Anti-Fairy World," he suggested as I smiled but then frowned.
"Are you crazy, there is no Anti-Fairy as powerful as Anti-Cosmo besides the new leader would have be able to destroy him and no one can do that," I retorted as HP raised an eyebrow,
"What if I told you that our contacts in the Ghost Zone have found just the guy?" he asked as I gasped. How the heck do the pixies have allies in the Ghost Zone especially after what happened millennia ago.
"I don't believe you," I snapped as the Head Pixie smiled.
"You see unlike everyone else, we actually allied ourselves with Pariah Dark and sent Pixies to join his army," he told me. "They're still in the Ghost Zone although in hiding, but they had just told me of a powerful ghost the current leaders have locked up named Dan. If you free him, he might be willing to ally with you and get rid of Anti-Cosmo," he explained as I looked at my watch.
"I might have to think about this," I said as I left for the meeting thinking about this Dan ghost.
Valerie
"I finished my homework dad, I'm going with Danny and his friends to the Nasty Burger," I told my father as I raced out of my room for the front door but was stopped by him.
"You're not using your friend as an excuse to go ghost hunting?" he asked remembering the time I said I was hanging out with Danny but actually went ghost fighting. I was grounded for a week for that stunt.
"No dad, I'm just going to get a bit to eat," I said trying to not to sound annoyed, "besides I have to help on a project for school," I tell him as he stands back and opens the door.
"Just don't stay out too late," he says kissing on me on the forehead as I walk out the door and over to Danny's home.
While I was walking, I saw Danielle's friend Timmy on the other side of the street. Danni had told about him and the hellish conditions he puts with at home. I can't believe his family treats him like that (wait a second, yes I can, with the exception of him his whole family is deranged).
"Hey Timmy, how you've been?" I shouted as I walked across the street to see him, "Danni said you weren't in school for awhile," I tell him as he smiles at me weakly.
"I just wasn't...feeling good....was all," he said as I looked at him, he was lying but I wasn't going to force it as I knew it was a topic he didn't like to talk about. "How's Danni been doing? Her parents still obsessed with ghosts," he asked as we finally arrived at Danny's house.
"See for yourself," I tell him as I walk up the steps and knock on the door.
"ALL RIGHT GHOSTIE, PREPARE TO EAT!" Mr. Fenton said until his wife pulled him back by the ear.
"What did I say about blasting guests?" she asked as he walked away, "Danny will be down in a minute," she said as I saw Danny walk down the steps with Sam and Tucker.
"Hey Val," he said walking out and seeing Timmy, "Timmy, what are you doing here shouldn't you be at school," he asked the boy, sometimes I think Jazz rubs off on him more than he knows.
He was about to answer when a new corvette with tinted windows pulled up to the corner, "There you are Bugbrains, Aunt F wants you home now," a voice trying to sound to like a cross between Sean Connery and Peirce Brosnan said as the window rolled down a bit.
It was Timmy's idiot cousin Blade. He thinks he's some big lover boy because he's British and tries to make out with all the girls. Although I heard that he's pretty smart, to me, he's just another Dash Baxter.
"Hey don't call him that!" Danny snapped at Blade who peered from his car window bored at my friend.
"Relax Fenton, it's a term of endearment and besides it's a free country," he said as he then noticed me standing there, "Hey there Gray, what to play doctor?" he said rolling down his window thinking I'll fall for him.
"Oh, sure but a doctor should learn to heal himself, " I said taking his arm and pulling it back as he screamed in pain.
"OWWWWWW, ALL RIGHT I'M SORRY GEEZ!" he said as I let him go, "What's your problem are you psycho?" he asked as I raised an eyebrow at him.
"I just don't like people whose career is going to be the Devil's fool," I remarked at him as he looked at me confused, "You should know all that and psychos seeing as your family tree is full of them," I said as I opened the door for Timmy, "I'll bring you back a burger and shake," I tell him as he gets in and leaves with Blade.
"Way to go showing that jerk whose boss," Danny said excited as I smiled calmly at him.
"Yes, what to put Blade in his place, Val sweetie," Tucker said as I glared at him.
"Call me sweetie again and you'll be next Foley," I tell him as he shuts up until we reach the Nasty Burger.
