WOOT! I don't own Danny Phantom! :D
"Um… Master Danny, just tell her the truth!" Cujo insisted.
Danny sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I can understand Cujo. I was, uh, messing around in Mommy and Daddy's lab. Something splashed on me. Then I heard Cujo barking outside the house," he bit his lip. "That's when I found him outside the house. When he barks, I hear words."
Jazz looked at her brother wide eyed. "Okay, um, if you're telling the truth, turn around." He complied. "Alright, Cujo, how many fingers am I holding up?"
Cujo barked. "Three!"
"Okay, now Danny, if you can understand him, then how many fingers am I holding up?"
The halfa blinked. "Uh, Cujo said three."
Jazz gasped. "You can understand him! That' so cool!"
"I know! But mom is calling us over, let's go," Danny replied.
They walked over to their mom, who was saying it was time to go home.
BACK AT THE FENTON HOUSEHOLD! YES, THIS IS A LINEBREAK!
Danny was on the couch, watching some Blues Clues. Jazz had insisted on the show, even though Danny wanted Tom and Jerry again.
Cujo's tail wagged as Blue came into view right next to Steve. "That is a well drawn cartoon dog! How do they get a real life human and an animated one together?"
The halfa grinned at his dog. Thank goodness their parents went out to get groceries. "I'm not sure, Cujo. Ask Jazz."
"Ask me what? I can't understand Cujo, you can, little brother," she replied, crossing her arms and looked at him. She was still a little skeptical of the whole 'understanding his puppy' business.
He blinked. "He asked how they got a real human and an animaturd one together."
Jazz laughed. "It's 'animated,' and I think they record the guy first. Then they make Blue in there by using an animation system."
Cujo barked. "He said, 'That's neat!'" Danny translated. "Do we have any ice-cream Jazz? I want some!"
She rolled her eyes. "That's why Mommy and Daddy went to the store, and we're out of bread again."
"Oh." Unbeknownst to Danny, he completely turned invisible. He continued watching tv. He hummed a random song, kicking his feet on the couch.
Cujo noticed. "Master Danny, you went invisible!"
The halfa yelped and turned visible, smiling sheepishly under Jazz's glare. "Uh, sorry Jazz. I, um, hit my heel to hard on the couch?" it came out more as a question, but the red haired girl paid no mind. She just huffed and watched some more tv.
The ghost dog let out a huge yawn, which didn't go unheard by the siblings. "Ready for bed, Cujo?"
"Sort of. Hey, want to practice our powers in your room? I like it in there. It has ships and stars and-"
"Alright, alright. We can, just please stop talking!" Danny's nose wrinkled up.
Jazz looked at her brother annoyed. "You don't have to rub in the fact you can talk to animals! By the way, do what?"
"Um, I can only understand Cujo. He just asked to go to bed. Night, Jazzy!" the rushed upstairs.
The saint bernard puppy licked Jazz. "Don't worry! I'll protect your brother!" he ran upstairs with his master.
When he got to his boy's door, he phased through. "What do you want to work on? Oh! Intangibility! We can work on getting you out of the bed!"
Danny yelped again as he tried to gte out of his bed. His legs had gone intangible, and was sinking through his bed. He tried to pull himself out, but he ended up just pushing himself down even more. Cujo hurried over, turning intangible and pushing him back up from below.
"Thanks, Cujo. I'm going ghost!" Danny yelled as the white rings appeared. With the transformation complete, he started to hover in midair. He grinned. "That's my new catchphrase. Do you like it?"
The white puppy grinned. "It's neat! So, intangibility and invisibility. It's pretty much all in concentration, I guess. It gets easier after the more time you are as a ghost. I haven't been one that long, but I got the hang of it really fast!"
Danny nodded. He turned invisible easily, but it was harder to turn back to normal. He did it eventually. They kept this up, going intangible and tangible over and over until he got the hang of it. He turned back human and put his pajamas on.
Just as Danny was about to go to bed, a blue wisp escaped his mouth. He sat up and looked around, his eyebrows narrowed. What was that?
"Hey, Cujo?" he called his dog, who was curled up at the end of his bed. "A blue misty thing just came out of my mouth. Do you know what that is?"
Cujo lifted his head up. "Not really sure. Is it morning? It doesn't feel like it. See? It's still dark outside!"
Danny rolled his eyes. "No, but I might have woken you up. Sorry."
"Oh, it's fine, you're more important to me anyway! So, a blue mist, huh? I've heard a few other ghosts talking about something called a 'ghost sense,' which is a sign to show one ghost that another is near! It comes out in different ways, one may be mist or another, eyes glowing extremely bright! So, you may have been sensing a ghost!" Cujo excitedly explained.
The halfa cracked a grin. "For a puppy, you sure are smart. I wonder if I was sensing a ghost! Why didn't I sense you or Clockwork when you first appeared?"
The ghost puppy tilted his head to the side. "Maybe it's because your powers are still developing. I mean, you only came out of the portal today, and didn't have any trouble with then until hours after. Maybe they just take time to start to work!" he concluded.
Danny nodded. "But if I were sensing a ghost, who would it be? Maybe we should check! We can be superheroes!"
Cujo stood up and streched. "Alright! But become a ghost and go invisible. I'll go invisible as well. I sure hope your sister went to bed!"
He nodded and went ghost. He picked up his puppy and turned them invisible. He walked out of his room and down the stairs, floating ever-so-slightly. As he reached the bottom, Danny looked around to see any ghosts. It was weird; he could see completely fine even though it was pitch black! Jazz must have gone to bed.
He looked over to the lab enterance to see a glow emitting from it. He raised an eyebrow. His parents were either blowing something up, but they weren't home yet, so it must have been something else. Danny floated over to the door. "Is it possible to become intangible and invisible at the same time?"
Cujo nodded his invisible head. "That might drain you, so I'll do it!" The white haired kid felt the tingling sensation all over his body. He grinned. He floated through the door and the feeling left.
"Thanks, Cujo!" he whispered. "Should I stay invisible?"
"Nah, your parents aren't down here. So we should be fine!"
Danny nodded and turned visible, putting his puppy down. He flew to the bottom of the lab's stairs, looking for any signs of a ghost. His eyes laid on something glowing near the portal. He floated over to it. His eyes widened.
It was a blob of green, glowing red. It's glowing sea foam eyes were looking everywhere, as if trying to comprehend where he was.
"Hey, Mister Ghost?" asked Danny.
The specter jumped, his eyes darting on the halfa. "Uh, where am I kid? I was just exploring the Ghost Zone when a random portal opened up and I fell through and now I'm in this weird tech place that isn't glowing and all of these test tubes are full of spectral energy and now I don't know how to get home and-"
"Whoa whoa whoa! I didn't get the half of that, and I'm the one usually rambling on around here!" the ghost puppy yapped.
Danny chuckled. "You're in my parents lab, and you're in the Human Realm? Is that what you called it in the car on the way to the park, Cujo?" he asked.
Cujo nodded. "Yeppers! No worries though, I think your portal will lead right back to the Zone."
The ghost let out a breath he didn't even need. "Oh, thank goodness. My girlfriend would be so mad if I missed out on cleaning the lair. Thank you! Thank you thank you thank you!"
The halfa smiled at the ghost. "No problem. I think the portal turns on when you step near it," he said, landing and walking over to the portal. It opened automatically. (A/N The reason it opened is because a Fenton was near it. Jack had put a lock only a Fenton could open. Sometimes he has his moments…)
"Thank the Ghost King! Thank you, young one and his dog. I will never forget this!" Just as he was about to fly through the portal, Danny yelled at him to stop.
"What is your name?" he asked.
The tiny ghost grinned. "The name is Skulker! Thank you!"
Yes, I included Skulker. This was before he got the suit, so he is not bad yet. Yet.
