I don't own Danny Phantom or any of the characters. They are doing a life sentence to their original creators without the chance of parole. Enjoy part two of operation babysit.
Danny's bedroom
"Ok Ember what is the catch with this favor? There is no way you and Skulker would forswear that you would leave me and Amity alone for a year unless it was something dangerous or painful. So..."
"I want you to babysit our daughter Dakota for a week! That is all I am asking." Ember answered.
"Wait a minute you had a baby? You certainly don't look like you had a kid." Danny said flabbergasted at learning this information.
"About six months ago I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl, and since then me and Skulker haven't had a moment's peace. It has gotten to the point where Skulker attempted to use our child as bait for one of his traps just to silence her." Ember explained laying it on thick.
'Actually he said he would use her as bait but never did it, but I won't let baby pop know that.' Ember thought to herself keeping her poker face on.
"I don't want to lose my husband due to the #1 law in the ghost zone, and I want to save my marriage. I know for a fact that this vacation for us will not only get us back on the right track, but will give us some us time which he haven't had since Dakota has been born." Ember explained only for Danny to still be resistant.
"Why didn't you ask one of your girlfriends to help you, or someone else in the ghost zone to do this? It makes no sense why you would ask me your worst enemy of all people." Danny explained earning a sigh from Ember.
"Johnny and Kitty already have a baby on the way, so I can't ask them. Dakota for some odd reason hates Bertrand to the point where she won't get within a 5 foot radius of him with crying, and Penelope took her new mystery lover on a vacation Two weeks ago." Ember explained. "We would have went to Pandora, but seeing as me and Skulker aren't exactly your friends she denied us and she is known as the universal babysitter. So please Baby Pop you are our only hope now."
'Wow they must be really and I mean really desperate if they are coming to me of all people for help. Plus I do have an odd track record for helping out the others directly and indirectly with their romantic issues.' Danny thought to himself.
"I hope this doesn't come to bite me in the butt later, but I will take up the challenge. But remember, after this is done if I see either of you..."
"Calm down Baby Pop next to killing a ghost baby going back on your forswear will also land you on a one way trip to hell." Ember explained for the first time smiling. "Would you like me to bring Dakota to you, or would you like to come to Dakota?"
Danny upon hearing Ember's question actually took a moment to think about it. On the one hand if Dakota was brought to his realm he would have the problem of his parents. They still unfortunately had the Neo Nazi attitude when it came down to ghosts. If they got one look at the baby they would no doubt try to make her the subject of lots and lots of painful experiments. With his hero duties he wouldn't have too much of an issue seeing as Dani even though she loved traveling would have no problem filling in for him and thanks to his recent duplication abilities he would have no problem keeping his absence hidden.
"Take me to your child Ember." Danny said firmly.
'Finally a break from our {little bundle of joy}. Baby pop has no clue what he is in for, so he will truly be earning his year of freedom from me and Skulker.' Ember thought to herself before she grabbed Danny and vanished into a whirlwind of flames.
Skull island
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Dakota screamed as Skulker ran around screaming due to his cyber armor being raised 3,000 degrees.
"Damn it to hell! Why in the hell did I think I was immune to this!" Skulker spat. "I swear if you weren't my daughter I would banish you to the darkest pits of hell you infernal..."
"Finish that sentence and I swear I will be filing for divorce!" Ember spat effectively gaining Skulker's attention.
"Nice try Ember, but nothing short of after death parting one of us can break the binds of our ghost zone marriage!" Skulker explained as his suit's cooling system kicked in.
"Dude, I said this before, and I will say it again. You are a terrible mother!" Danny added earning a glare from Skulker and a snicker from Ember.
"Last I checked I am not a male seahorse or even a male fairy from Fairy world so I didn't give birth to this little abomination!" Skulker spat getting a look from both Ember and Danny. "Don't look at me like that whelp, and here you go the little bundle of joy Ember spat out. Though I still think with the way she wails she had an affair with you with the way Dakota cries!" Skulker explained before handing Dakota over to Danny.
"Everything you need to look after her is in the house. As for food allergies she is allergic to chocolate. Oh and don't use the cornstarch baby powder it will give her a rash." Ember said before walking over to skulker. "We will be back in a week baby pop, make sure our little Dakota is the same as we gave her to you. Cause if I found out that one hair has been harmed on her head I forswear I will make your life a living hell! Oh and if you need us for anything the number is on the fridge. Later Dakota, Baby pop!" Ember said before she grabbed Skulker and vanished into a whirlwind of flames.
No sooner did Ember, and Skulker disappear did Danny feel the temperature rise around him. No sooner did this happen did Danny look down and saw that his clothes were on fire. Thinking quickly Danny quickly fired his ice beams eyes to put out the flames. Unfortunately for Danny, Dakota wasn't too pleased with the sudden drop in temperature and within seconds disappeared into a whirlwind of flames much to Danny's dismay.
"That is just great, Ember left out that Dakota could teleport from place to place. Now where did you.." Danny never got the chance to finish his thought as he heard a loud explosion less than 50 feet from.
After going intangible to avoid the getting burned by molten shrapnel and flaming napalm Danny flew in the direction of the explosion to find Dakota giggling up a storm while her flaming ponytail hit several of Skulker's explosives causing them to go off simultaneously. As Danny still intangible looked on at the destruction of Skulker's bombs one calming thought went into his mind.
'On the bright side at least none of this stuff is mine and it seems Dakota is immune to all fire based weapons. But still what the hell where you thinking Skulker? You should have put your explosives in an ectoranium safe house. Your cyberarmor is immune to the stuff, and Dakota wouldn't be able to go near it let alone... Oh crap more trouble.' Danny thought to himself as an mob of angry ghosts that weren't so fortunate to go intangible came down and began to give chase.
"There she is the baby from Tartarus! Kill it off and we will finally have peace!" One of the angry ghosts spat.
"Look it is Danny Phantom our sworn enemy! This is our lucky day! We can kill to birds with one stone!" Another ghost said with a smile.
'Normally I wouldn't have an issue fighting them, seeing as I have a move in my arsenal that could stop them but that would leave me defenseless. Plus there is Ember and Skulker's baby to worry about. Well seeing as I can't fight them I guess I will have to outrun them!' Danny thought to himself as he quickly scooped up Dakota and took off at top speed.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Dakota wailed due to not being used to the speed Danny was flying at while giving him an ear ache.
'Great, less than 5 minutes into the job I am getting chased down by an angry mob of ghosts, I have an oversensitive baby wailing like I would when I used my ghostly wail, and to top it all off the angry mob wants to blow us to smithereens! Ember, Skulker I hope where ever the two of you are you both are enjoying yourselves because after this...'
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Dakota wailed louder which in turn causing all the enemy ghost's eardrums to begin popping.
Eventually the ghosts giving chase to Danny and Dakota slowed down and began to hold their eyes.
"God Damn it, that wailing is hurting my ears! You haven't seen the last of us Tartarus spawn! As soon as my ears stop ringing I will be back!"
"Huh what did you say?" One of the now death ghosts asked still holding his ears.
"What was that you said?" Another asked only for the only ghost who could read lips to carve the message the first ghost said before they all left.
No sooner did the mob leave from site did Dakota calm down causing Danny to breathe a little easier.
"You maybe a little mischievous, but at least you did help us out of that... Gross, and I just had the suit cleaned!" Danny replied due to getting a fresh dose of sour milk from the now giggling Dakota. "You are one bad little girl. Time to head back to Skulker's island so we can get you and myself cleaned up. Hopefully you won't caused me anymore trouble." Danny replied only for Dakota to give him yet another spray of sour milk this time in his face.
Miami Beach 45 minutes later
Two being laid on the sandy beach. The first was the ghost zone's greatest hunter who at the current moment was hiding under a holographic illusion of familiar jar headed blond jock wearing a white wife beater, and orange shorts. The other was the ghostly rock diva Ember Mclain wearing black two piece bathing suit that showed off her flawless pale skin perfectly.
Feeling relaxed for the first time in a long time Ember moved closer to the camouflaged Skulker and smiled.
"You see Skulker this is exactly what we needed a nice 7 day vacation just you and me." Ember said wrapping her arms around Skulker.
"As much as I would rather be hunting in peace you do have a point. Beautiful blue skies, a nice sandy beach, and best of all the woman I love right..."
"Hey everyone look it is Ember Mclain! I haven't seen you in 9 months since your last concert!" A fanboy said while talking a picture.
"Ember even though you disappeared for 9 months we still love you! Please sing us a song!" Said another one of her fans.
"Get away you annoying parasites we are on vacation right now! Unless you want me to skin and gut you alive!" Skulker hissed only for some of the more muscular looking fans to step in.
"I would love to see you try shrimp. We will rearrange you into a pretzel before you even get the chance to..."
"Boys please, I am on vacation with my husband right now, and all I want to do is relax with him." Ember explained trying to defuse the situation.
"Husband? This jar-headed buffoon? What does he have that I don't?" One of the pissed off fan boys asked.
"Me for starters, but he is also..."
"Going to hunt each and every one of you if you don't leave my wife alone, and trust me the thought of skinning each of you alive feels so good it makes my..."
"Skulker for god's sake we don't need to go that far." Ember said cutting off her husband. "Now as for all of you I will give you each one autograph in exchange for leaving the two of us alone and telling me who you love."
"Ember! Ember! Ember! Ember! Ember!" The crowd chanted causing her flaming mane to rise.
"That is right everyone say my name and remember to keep chanting while I give you your autographs!" Ember said as she continued to store the energy she was getting from the people chanting her name.
'Darn it I should have gutted and skinned these idiots alive when I had the chance. Now if I try to do it Ember will kick my ass due to the power boost! Darn it I am out of here!' Skulker thought to himself as he got up from off the sand and walked away which went completely unnoticed by Ember. 'Some romantic getaway this was.'
Manson family residence two hours later
"You have reach the cell phone of Danny Fenton. I am currently not able to reach the phone right now please leave your name and message after the tone. Beep"
"Danny, I don't know where the hell you are, or what you are doing, but you better pray to god you have a good excuse for ditching me today! We have nonrefundable tickets to movie Trinity of Doom 5, and you promised me that you would come with me!" Sam screamed to the answering machine before hanging up the phone.
Sam was beyond pissed. Originally 2 weeks ago she was going to get 3 tickets to go see trinity of doom 5 with Tucker and Danny. However, Tucker unlike Danny explained before hand that he was being sent away to visit family for a month. At first she was upset at this seeing as she wanted to make hang with her only real friends, however, when Tucker whispered in her ear she could use this to finally make her move her mood took a 180 turn.
'Yeah I was so hoping this would be the chance I could finally make him see me as more than a friend, and now he seems like he is...' Sam never got the chance to finish her thought when a puff of green smoke revealing the source of her soon to be former anger.
"Sorry for dropping in unexpected Sam but..."
"Unexpected nothing, unless you forgot that we had a movie date today! You know the thing we agreed on two weeks ago!" Sam said with her hands on her hips.
'Crap I knew I was forgetting something, but then again seeing as I was busy with Dakota and all the trouble she has been bringing me I am not surprised. If she didn't have explosive diarrhea to the point where the entire island needed to air out I wouldn't have come here.' Danny said to himself as he held the surprisingly sleeping Dakota.
"Sorry Sam, but it slipped my mind. Besides I am afraid I won't be able to go with you." Danny said before opening his hands to reveal Dakota to Sam.
Upon seeing the reason why Danny was bailing Sam's face went from annoyed to love at first sight.
"Almost 3 hours ago Ember came to me with an offer. I baby sit little Dakota for a week, and she and Skulker won't hunt me or terrorize Amity for a year. If I had remember the promise I made to you I would have rejected the offer or at least waited until after the movie was..."
"Aww who could stay mad when you bring such an adorable reason not for me to be mad." Sam said as she picked up the sleeping Dakota. "I can't believe something as adorable as you could have such a horrible mom. I shudder at the thought of who your father is." Sam said talking in the adorable talking to a baby talk.
"Her father is Skulker, and..."
"Ok how in the heck did he get Ember pregnant? He is just a blob in a suit for crying out loud. It makes absolutely no sense."
"We have seen stranger things. I mean remember Box Lunch and who her parents are? That makes no sense either yet we saw Box Lunch with our own eyes." Danny countered.
"Point taken Danny. But on another note seeing as she is asleep right now, why not take her with us to see the movie? That way you can keep your promise to me, and babysit her at the same time?" Sam explained.
"Not going to happen Sam. I have only been with her for less than 3 hours, and I know the moment she starts crying it won't be..."
"Don't worry about it Danny. Ghost or not she is only a baby, and since I have a fireproof baby hoodie we can bring her with us and no one will know the wiser. I mean what is the worst that could happen?" Sam said still trying to sway Danny.
"She has explosive diarrhea once again and I don't have any supplies to change her for starters. Then she could wake up and start crying so loud that she destroys the movie theater. Oh lets not forget that with her pyrokinetic powers she could cause the movie theater to burn down and…"
"Or she could actually sleep through the entire movie, actually be a good girl and remain quiet the entire movie, or…"
"Ok I get the point but I would rather not take an unnecessary risk…"
"In life we always take risks Danny from getting up in the morning to going to school. What is one more? I mean seriously she is sleeping now, and if you just fed her she should be out for hours." Sam persisted
"You aren't going to stop until I agree to take Dakota with us are you?"
"When you want something Danny you got to be persistent, and believe it or not this is exactly how I convinced them to change the school menu the first and second time." Sam explained causing Danny to sigh.
"I know this is going against my better judgement, but maybe you might be right about her being quiet during the movie. So lets…"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Dakota wailed causing Danny to give her a pacifier to keep her quiet.
Stage out
