I swear it's better than the original! With that being said, enjoy Desiree!
Sam sighed in annoyance. All the Fentons seemed to be missing! Of course, Danny was nowhere to be found. The last time Sam saw Jazz was right before they split up, and Maddie and Jack weren't home. She only knew that because she was currently in the Fenton household.
She looked at the empty cylinder in her hand as she walked back up the lab stairs, and entered the kitchen. Technically, she shouldn't have been in this house while the owners weren't home. But she had to release the ghosts into the Ghost Zone before she released them into the Real world. The thermos had taunted her the whole way here, daring her to open it and question the ghosts that were trapped inside.
Finally she gave up and went to FentonWorks.
Sam walked out of the building, tightening her grip on the ghost trap.
"Danny had better be hurt when I find him…" she thought out loud, twisting the cap around on the thermos. "If he's not…he's sure going to be!"
Danny materialized in the air, and fell into a fountain with a splash. How he ended up in the center of Amity Park's wishing well was anyone's guess, but no one seemed to notice the soaking wet toddler. Half swimming over to the ledge, he crawled over it and landed on the concrete below.
"Ow…" he muttered as he got up and rubbed his head.
"Daddy, Daddy, look!" A little girl's voice drew his attention from across the fountain. "A wishing well! Can I make a wish, Daddy? Can I? Can I, please?"
"Shelby," a very familiar but rather jumpy voice started to say. Shelby paid no attention to it and ran up to the fountain. "Don't you think we had enough excitement for the day?"
"But Daddy," Shelby whined, "I wanna make a wish!" Greg made a face, but handed his daughter a quarter. Shelby squealed with delight, and tossed the coin in the water. Danny stood up and walked over to the eager girl, catching the man's attention on the way over.
"AHHH!" Greg shouted, grabbing Shelby and throwing her over his shoulder. "Get away! We had enough ghost run-ins for today!"
"Hm…" Shelby thought, trying to decide on something. She acted like the whole ordeal in the coffee shop had never happened. "I wish I had…"
"Shoo," Greg motioned to Danny. The toddler's brow furrowed. "Go on! Get away! Go back to your…whoever it is that watches you…" Danny opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Shelby.
"A pony!" Greg looked at his daughter in confusion. But ignored her and turned back to Danny. The hybrid shivered and his breath was visible for a moment. Greg stared suspiciously, but quickly shook it off.
"I told you to go away!" he continued. Danny turned toward the wishing well and looked at it questionably. A green fog bubbled up from the water and swirled in the air.
"So you have wished it, so shall it be…"
"What?" Greg asked, apprehensively, but, before he could say anything else, a woman appeared above them.
The fact that her skin was green and she was floating was a pretty good sign that she was a ghost, but only Greg was horrorstruck. Danny and Shelby looked up in amazement as the new girl flicked her wrist, and the pony Shelby requested appeared before the two humans.
It looked sweet at first, innocent too. The eyes were a big, glassy blue, and its mane and tail were white with pink strips and pretty ribbons. Then it grew fangs and piercing red eyes. Greg screamed and took off with his daughter still swung over his shoulder. The 'pony', which now more resembled a dragon, chased after them.
Desiree laughed in the sky.
"Yes," she muttered to herself. "The more wishes I grant, the stronger I become. And with that child gone no one can stop me!" She turned around to fly off in the other direction, but was blocked off by a white haired kid.
"HI!" Danny shouted. The ghost screamed, and flew back slightly until she realized what surprised her.
"Young intruder, you dare sneak up on me?"
"I'm Danny Phantom!" he smiled. Desiree smirked.
"I am Desiree, what is your-Danny Phantom?" She stared at the two-year-old in front of her. He smiled back. The child did share a striking resemblance to Danny Phantom, but a resemblance was the only thing he had. The Phantom she knew was fourteen. The Phantom she knew would have attacked instead of sneaking up and saying "HI!" The Phantom she new was...taller.
This…was not Danny Phantom.
Still, a wish maker was a wish maker, and Desiree wasn't picky, as long as he made a wish.
"Danny Phantom," she started, and her smile grew when she saw him turn his attention to her. "What is your wish?"
Danny thought for a minute. "I'm dis many!" He shouted happily, and held up two fingers.
"Yes, yes, but…what is your wish?" Desiree smiled when the toddler started thinking again.
"You'we gween!" Desiree raised an annoyed eyebrow. Her teeth clenched together in her mouth, but she tried to show no sign of her anger and impatience. "Gween lady! Gween lady! Just wike a gween bean!"
"Do you like green beans?" Desiree asked. Maybe she could trick him into giving her a wish.
"Ew! No!" Danny stuck out his tongue in disgust. "I wike ice-cweam!"
"Ice-cream?" The wishing ghost smiled and raised her hands in the air. "So you have wished it, so shall it-"
"But I alweady had ice-cweam today." Danny stopped her. Desiree sighed in annoyance. She let her hands drop to her side.
"What else do you like?" she asked, trying her hardest to be patient. It would be worth it when he gave her the wish. She would be stronger and could beat the real Danny Phantom when he showed up.
"Hm…" Danny thought again.
"Let me help you…" Desiree said after a few minutes of silence. "Do you want…candy?" Danny shook his head no. "Toys?" Another no.
Desiree rubbed her temples doing her best to stay calm.
"Okay…okay…" she muttered under her breath. "Is there anything you do want?" Danny's face lit up with excitement as the thing the girl was asking finally sunk in.
"Oh, yeah!" Danny giggled. "I want…peanut butter and Jell-O sandwich!"
"Jell-O?" Desiree thought for a second. "Don't you mean jelly?"
"Nope." Danny smiled. The female ghost just shrugged her shoulders and raised her hands back up in the air.
"So you have wished it, so shall it be…" Green fog swirled around the toddler, and he smiled as the form of his desire shaped in his hands. He turned it around suspiciously.
"Like it?" Desiree asked. All he needed to say was yes. She could already feel the power rushing through her.
"NO!" Danny shouted unexpectedly, and shoved the sandwich in the woman's face. "Dar's too much peanut butter and not enough Jell-O!" Desiree stared in shock.
"It's exactly the same amount!" she shouted back.
Danny nodded. "I know, but I likes Jell-O more than peanut butter…" Desiree twitched, but put on another fake grin.
"Okay." She gritted her teeth again, but changed the sandwich. Jell-O seeped out through the sides of the bread and dripped into the fountain below.
"Happy?" she asked, folding her arms across her chest. Danny shook his head no. "What now?"
"Where's the jelly?" Danny asked.
"You said you wanted Jell-O!" she shouted angrily.
The hybrid laughed. "Who eats Jell-O on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich? Silly!"
Desiree wanted to strangle Danny, but she had to keep her cool. He had what she wanted after all.
Throwing her hands up in the air, she fixed the stupid wish for a final time.
"Well?" she practically hissed. Danny looked at it, and an enormous smile instantly spread on his face. He nodded his head yes, and Desiree sighed with relief.
"It's perfect!" Danny giggled, then threw the sandwich over his shoulder. Desiree stared in surprise.
"What did you do that for?" she nearly screamed. Danny looked at her and blinked.
"Oh," he smiled when he got what she said. "I'm awergic to peanut butter."
"AHHHHHHHH!" Desiree started pulling out her hair. Danny looked around and slowly floated backwards, away from the crazy lady in front of him.
"YOU IDIOTIC BRAT!" she shouted, turning her hand into a rope and lassoing it around the toddler. "YOU DARE MOCK MY SPELL CASTING?"
She flicked her wrist downward, and smashed him into a park bench.
"Ow!" Danny moaned as he got up, teary eyed. "You'we mean!"
Desiree was too angry to respond to him. A mallet replaced her ropey hand and she raised it high above her head.
"I WISH YOU WOULD GO AWAY YOU BIG MEANIE!" He cried. Desiree froze in place. Her eyes widened and she stared at the toddler sobbing on the ground.
"What? NO!" Her form began to fade in the air, "I must obey!" She gave one final scream before her figure faded and vanished into the Ghost Zone.
The toddler looked up and noticed he was alone. After a few seconds of searching for the green lady, he gave up and flew back toward the city.
"So yous wanted it, and now yous got it…" He said to himself, and giggled at his revised version of Desiree's motto.
"Watch it pipsqueak!" Ember shouted as she landed on Skulker.
"I have done nothing you wannabe pop star!" The green blob shouted back, and crawled out from underneath her.
"None of us did anything. I-Technus-master of all technology, suggest we-"
"I thought you stopped doing that." Ember growled.
"And I thought you cared about the way you looked…" Technus snickered at the pop star who looked like a raccoon. The three ghosts had landed in a heap in the Ghost Zone after Sam had set them free from the thermos. They were mad, irritated, and feeling a tad claustrophobic, but other than that, they were okay. Unfortunately for them, they landed just outside Walker's prison, and this didn't go unnoticed.
"What are you punks doing hanging around my prison?" the ghost warden asked, showing no sympathy to the three on the floor.
"That stupid ghost kid messed everything up!" Ember complained.
"Yeah!" Technus said, then coughed and shivered, "He gave me a stupid virus!"
"He took control of my armor…and then broke it!" Skulker sat on Ember's shoulder.
"He used some weird scream thing on me!" Ember hissed and pointed to her face.
"Who did?" A passing Spectra and Bertrand asked, inviting themselves in the conversation.
"Phantom." Walker answered bluntly. Spectra gasped.
"Phantom?" Kitty asked, joining the argument like Spectra did. An annoyed Johnny tagged behind her.
Walker sighed. "He tied up my best men…"
"He made us fight!" Johnny frowned, not liking the lack of attention he was getting from his girlfriend. Half an hour of convincing her that this was all Phantom's fault and she still wants to talk about him.
"He's worse as a two-year-old than he is when he's fourteen!" Ember shouted, throwing her hands up in the air and accidentally knocking Skulker off her shoulder.
"Does anyone…" Technus started, but sneezed and shivered again.
"…know how he turned two?" Spectra finished. Silence replaced the argument. Nothing came to anyone's mind.
"I found out from the Box Ghost." Skulker said at last, taking refuge in Kitty's wild hair.
"Me too." Ember added.
"Same here." Walker muttered. Technus sneezed again and sniffed. But he raised his hand in the air.
"Uh…ditto."
"Us too." Spectra added, referring to her and Bertrand.
"That punk released all my prisoners!" Walker added.
"So…" Kitty trailed, adding up everything the ghosts had said. "This is all the Box Ghost's fault?"
"Sure is!" Ember growled. Blue flame consumed her body and when it was gone she was back to normal. "Let's go get that loser!" Everyone in the circle nodded in agreement. In a stirring show of solidarity, they took off...each in a completely different direction.
"Uh…" Johnny asked sheepishly. "Does anyone know where he is?"
Okay, I'm going to be evil, and NOT tell you who's next. I know, the suspense is killing you right? Well, um...hello? angelofsuspense NOT angelofgiveaways. Haha! Just don't kill me and I promise I'll update soon! Oh WEEE this is fun!
