Okay I know this took a bit longer then I planned but at least I got around to doing it. My friend put the flashdrive I keep this story on into his Xbox360 and it reformatted the thing. 'Sob' So I'm sort of looking for the back up I usually keep. I only have the first part of this story on my computer so if worse comes to worse I'll have to type it up again. (God forbid) At that point I'll probably post it as a sequel or something.=^-^=

Disclaimer - I really hope that this is obvious but I don't own DP.=^-^=

Ch. 4 - Accidents Happen

After dropping Sam off at her house he immediately flies back to his in order to send the Box Ghost back to the ghost zone. "I can only hope Dani's been doing better." He flies down and threw his ceiling until he finds himself in the living room where he notices Dani was watching TV.

"Hey!" Dani turned to find Danny floating in the doorway to the kitchen.

"Oh! You're back."

"Yeah, I had a little run with a ghost so I cut the date a little early to send him back to the ghost zone. I'll be right back." Danny then flew through the kitchen.

Dani turns back to the TV when a realization hits her. "Wait aren't they testing some dangerous weapon down their?!" She jumps up and quickly transforms taking off after Danny.

Down in the lab Maddie and Jack were fine tuning the range of their latest invention. They were both wearing their hoods with goggles and Maddie was holding some kind of energy measuring device. "Okay now at Five meters."

Jack adjusts the switch on the side panel. "Alright babe! Ready when you are!" The Small cylindrical device had a dish at the top the appeared to be glowing as it slowly charged up. As Maddie looked over the readings she noticed how erratically the energy was fluxing.

"Shut it down Jack there's something wrong." Before he had a chance, however the device began to spark and a low hissing could be heard. The device then began firing short random beams of energy. As Maddie made her way over to assist Jack she noticed Danny fly into the lab "Danny! Hurry and get out!"

Before he could blink one of the beam shot out at him and before he knew it he was on the floor and more than a little shook up from hitting his head on the counter as he fell. Only a few more seconds past before the device completely shorted and filled the room with smoke. "Danny!" Mrs. Fenton shouted as she made her way through the smoke. It didn't take her long to root him out in the smoke as she grabbed him in a hug. "Are you alright sweetie!?"

Danny was coughing a little as he responded. "Yeah, I'm fine but.."

He was cut off by Jack. "There we go!"

A low hum is heard as the smoke slowly thinned. Maddie continued to examine what she could see of Danny's body for injury. "Mom I'm fine but what hit me?" Danny felt something on one of his legs and was only able to make out what it was once more of the smoke was cleared. "Wait, Dani!?"

Maddie was soon able to make out her form as well and the scorch mark that was left on her side when the beam hit. Danny quickly picked her up and brought her over to a counter in a clearer part of the room. She was unconscious with no sign of stirring as he laid her down on the counter. "Danielle!"

His mother followed him over as well as Jack once all the vents were open. "What was she doing down here I told her we were doing a dangerous test." Danny rolled her over on her side to better view the scorch mark from the beam. It had completely burned through her jumpsuit where it hit. Maddie lightly touched the area around the burn and Dani flinched in response.

"What were you testing down here?"

"The same device I was talking about last night. It lets out a special energy wave that completely nullifies any ghost in the area."

"Unfortunately during the last test it began shorting out and we couldn't stop it before it overloaded."

Danny looked back down at Dani. "If you told her earlier she must've tried to stop me from coming down here." As Danny laid her back down again a white ring appeared around her and transformed her back to her human state. Danny suddenly became uneasy. "This might be worse than it looks."

Maddie brushed a hand over her forehead. "You're right she's burning up!" Then once again the white ring appeared but quickly faded without finishing the transformation. "That's defiantly not normal, right Danny?"

Danny's worry only seemed to increase. "I don't think I've ever done that before. At least while unconscious." Then the ring shows again and again it fails to transform her.

"Danny, we need to move her to the table to see if we can find out what happened to her." Danny hesitantly complied as he picked her up and moved her. Maddie quickly moved over to a panel on the wall where she activated the scanner. A small tube like object protruded from either side of the table and slowly moved down emitting a thin green light. Maddie sorted through the results that were displayed on the screen next to her.

"Well?"

"Hold on… I haven't found anything yet."

Jack and Danny both looked at each other. "I can't believe this happened… I'm so stupid. I should have knocked or something, instead of just flying down here without warning."

Jack put his arm on Danny's shoulder. "Well I'm equally guilty… I should have told you what we would be doing before you left this morning."

Danny looked back to Danielle with extreme worry and saw the white ring suddenly appear and dissipate again. "That's it!"

"Mom?!" She turned and pointed on the screen. "Right here. The ring is the problem. It activates and energy chain reaction but for some reason it isn't completing, their seems to be something missing from this section here." She enlarged the image of a particular section. "This portion here seems to regulate the ring and is damaged, probably from the energy emission she received from the prototype we were testing."

"Can you do anything about it?"

Jack rubbed his chin. "We could try to rebuild it…. But we'd need to know what it was supposed to look like from before. Trying to rebuild it without knowing could cause her whole molecular structure to fall apart."

Maddie continued to look over the data. "That's going to be very difficult, and like Jack said, it could have dangerous repercussions." Danny looked over to Danielle laying on the lab table. He placed his hands on the table next to Dani and began to rack his brain for ways to stop it.

Danny hadn't been thinking for long before a realization hit him. "Wait a minute…. She's a clone of me. Shouldn't her molecular structure be similar to mine?"

Maddie turned to him and remained silent a moment thinking it over. "You're right, especially since you use the same ectoplasmic energy to transform, they should be almost identical." Maddie began typing away at the interface. "Jack, move Danielle off the table. Danny I need you to change back and lay down on it." Jack did as told and Danny changed back and hoped on the table. With a nervous expression he began to lay down but stopped a moment.

He turned to Danielle and seeing her laying almost lifeless in Jack's arms wiped away his hesitation. "Alright Danny, don't move…." She remained silent a moment and the scanner prepared to make a pass. "Alright now you can begin transforming." Danny complied immediately and activated the morph ring which enveloped his body. The sensors made another pass as he transformed. "Don't get up just yet Danny." After a minute Maddie turned back around to face Danny. "Alright the scan is finished, you can get up now."

Danny rubbed his arms and chest a little. "That felt really weird."

"That's because the scan sends a small charge of energy through the subject. It makes the scan more detailed." Danny begins to get up off the table and Jack lays Danielle back down. "Danny…" He turns to his mom.

"What's up?"

She seemed nervous. "I was thinking about it when I did the scan and I believe a catalyst would greatly improve the effectiveness of any solution we make to repair the molecular damage."

Jack turned to Maddie. "Wouldn't the best kind require…. Oh…"

Danny looked over to his dad and then back at his mom. "Require what?"

Maddie put her hand on Danny's shoulder. "We would need a sample of your ectoplasm. Because it is already properly structured, it should serve to boost the effect of a solution. We would also use it for the base of the solution, making synthesizing it much faster than creating it from scratch." The uneasiness in Danny was obvious to both his parents as he stayed quiet a moment.

He turned to Danielle who was still unconscious, and then back to his mother. "I-If it'll help Danielle… Then fine." Jack went over to the other counter and rummaged around for a moment. Danny still feeling uneasy rubbed his arm and looked to the side. His father then brought over a vial and handed it to maddie. She inserted into what looked like a syringe with no needle but at closer inspection there were actually several small ones in a circular pattern at the base.

Danny looked at it nervously as his mother held his arm and gradually moved the syringe to his shoulder. She placed the base over the side of his shoulder and pressed the button on the side causing a small hiss sound as the vial filled up. Though the feeling was unexpected Danny only seemed to flinch a moment as his mother removed the syringe. Afterwards he rubbed his arm over the spot of the injection. His mother took out the vile filled with ectoplasm and handed it back to Jack who took it across the room. Danny hoped of the table and turned to Danielle who seemed to stir a little.

"Hmm?" He walked over to her to try and get her attention.

"W-where…."

"Danielle?"

Maddie walks over as well and checked her temperature again. "She seems to be getting warmer."

Dani's vision was blury, the most she could make out was the grey room she was in. "Where… am I?"

"You're down in the lab. Are you okay?" She turned her head and saw she was on an examination table which made her incredibly nervous. She started try and get up but Danny stopped her. "Wait!" His resistance seemed to make more on edge and started to flail a little causing Danny to hold her down with more force.

"Let… me .. go!" She grunted as she tried to get up with what little strength she had.

"Calm down Danielle! You're in no shape to get up."

She opened her eyes a little more and recognized Danny. "Danny?" Her voice was incredibly weakened.

"Yeah, just relax. Everything's fine."

She seemed to smile a little. "You're …..okay. That's goo…..d"

She seemed to pass out again after that. "Dani?!"

"Don't worry she's just sleeping again."

"Yeah, you should take her upstairs since the lab makes her uneasy. Well call ya down if anything comes up."

Danny looked over to his Dad. "I guess that would be better for her." He turned and picked her up and quickly took her up the stairs.

After a few hours Dani stirred again and Danny who was sitting on the bed next to her, noticed right away. "Dani? Feeling better?"

She simply grunted as she shook her head slowly. "Where…?"

"You're back in the guest room. Mom thought it would be better since you seemed so edgy when you were on the examination table." Dani tried the sit up put immediately felt the pain reverberating from her side.

"Ahh….!" She held her side tightly as she flopped back down.

"I warned you earlier not to sit up yet. Just relax, my parents are working on something that will make you better again, so until then just rest okay?" She slowly nodded as she closed her eyes again. Danny got up and went to the door, opening it to find his mom walking up to the room.

"Is it finished?"

"Not quite, but it shouldn't take too much longer. The solution itself is finished, but were creating more for a full dose." She glanced toward to guest room door. "She doing any better?"

Danny turned back to the door. "Yeah but she's still really weak."

Maddie made her way to the door. "I'm going to go take a look." She walks into the room and closes the door behind her. Another door is then heard opening.

"Hello?" Danny walked down the hall to the stairs. "Jazz?"

"Yeah, I left a little early because I was worried." Jazz walks to the foot of the stairs to see Danny's solemn expression. "What happened?"

OK hope ya'll liked it and well... I really liked writing this part in particular cause it leads into some family fluff. You have some of that to look forward too so enjoy the wait. I took longer with this one cause I was trying to see if it could get more reviews so the next part I think I'll wait for 8 reviews, so four more people. I really just want to know what ya'll think of it cause, well, opinions give me motivation to continue. That and wouldn't ya'll just love to press that awesome little button on the bottom their? Come on You know you wanna!=^-^=
