A/N: It's DANI time! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAA (takes breath) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
She wasn't a normal girl. First of all, she had ghost powers. Second of all, she was a clone. Third, her creator had rapidly aged her so that she was twelve instead of one and a half. Lastly, when she was stabilized, her growing stopped completely, until her mind was caught up with her body. Life's great, right?
Well, it was for Danielle (Dani) Fenton/Phantom, who was the only person on earth to every have all of the things listed above happen to her. Ever. And even though it could seem a little lonely to Dani at times, she was glad she was unique. Nobody could take that from her. Even if Vlad made another clone just like her, Dani would always be the first.
But right now, Dani was a little lonely. She had been traveling the world, trying to loose some of her naïveté. Unfortunately, since Vlad had only taught the clone how to speak, Dani couldn't begin to comprehend the world around her.
So, she had thought of the only person who would take her in: Daniel (Danny) Fenton/Phantom, the person she was cloned after. At that point in time, Dani had been in Bushmills, Northern Ireland, a good seven hour flight from the Fenton residence. So, she decided to bunker down for the rest of the night so she'd have the energy to fly across the Atlantic Ocean tomorrow. Dani had just settled in a tree when she heard music.
"Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep, it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.
Some days I feel like I'm wrong when I'm right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Hey!
You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore."
By the time the song was over, Dani was asleep with a contented smile gracing her lips.
Dani rubbed her bleary eyes. She had just landed in an alleyway close to the Fenton residence. Dani shifted back into her human form and stumbled towards Danny's home. She came up to where she knew Danny's room had a window on the second floor. Finding a small rock, Dani threw the projectile and hit Danny's window head on. It bounced back, like Dani had planned it to, and gave a ping! sound. Thirty seconds later Dani saw Danny peek out of his window carefully. She waved and Danny smiled, waving for Dani to come in. Dani shook her head slightly.
Danny dropped to the ground, floating down quickly. "My powers are kinda drained." Dani answered the unspoken question. Danny smiled and lifted Dani on his back and flew back up into his room. He set her down in his bed.
"Why are your powers drained?" Danny whispered.
"Seven hour flight from Ireland to here at top speeds." Dani mumbled. Danny smiled softly.
"Okay. I'm going to go to the attic and bring an air mattress down. Do you mind sleeping under the bed, as to not make my parents suspicious?" Danny asked. Dani nodded, her eyes fluttering. Danny disappeared, and a minute later he was back, holding a soft red blanket and a black outdoor air mattress. However, Dani was asleep. Danny smiled softly and slid the air mattress under the bed. He phased Dani down, and layer the blanket on top of her. He then climbed into his own bed.
The only sound that could be heard a minute later was the occasional light breath from two half-ghosts in the room.
Dani woke up and banged her head against something solid. Dani laid back down and rubbed her forehead, trying to remember where she was. The last thing Dani remembered was sitting on Danny's bed while he went to go get an air mattress so she could sleep under the bed- oh, she must've been under the bed. Dani must've fallen asleep and then Danny probably phased her down here. Dani smiled at her realization.
Dani carefully brought her head up. She saw a white note laying in her stomach. Carefully maneuvering her hands, Dani brought the piece of paper closer so she could read it.
Dani
Out fighting Technus. It's around six, so I'll probably go right to school afterwards. You're free to roam around the house, except for the op center and the basement, 'cause that's that we're my parents keep the ghost equipment. I'll be back at around three if the day goes well (knock on wood) and of not, around four. I'm gonna tell Sam and Tucker, so unless they do something stupid, they'll probably walk here by three fifteen if I get detention. Be careful, don't get caught by my parents. My older sister, Jazz, will leave for school at around seven, if you have any questions.
-Danny
Dani struggled through the note. Her creator had only taught her vocabulary, and not how to read or write or do mathematic equations. He had planned to, but he never got around to it. That's the main reason Dani had come back; she had to rely on listening to other people and her little reding capability to get her around the world. Dani wanted an education so she could thoroughly enjoy life. She also was eating out of trash cans and occasionally stealing only when she absolutely had to.
Dani had understood 'fighting', 'right to school', 'ghost equipment', ' older sister', 'six', 'seven', 'Dani', and 'Danny'. Dani looked at the clock. Vlad had taught her numbers. The alarm clock read 6:54 am. Dani shrugged, and turned invisible. She went to look for a young woman slightly older than Danny. She found such a person, sitting at the table. Carefully looking around for any signs of Mr. or Mrs. Fenton, Dani turned visible. The young woman jumped slightly, then peered at her. She smiled seconds later and went to greet Dani.
"Danny told me about you. You're his clone, Dani. He had to tell me you're his clone because I know the family really well, and Danny knew that. I'm Jazz, it's nice to meet you. Let' go to my room for a minute to talk." Jazz whispered. Dani nodded and followed up the stairs and into a very girly room. Jazz sat on the bed and patted the spot next to her. Dani sat.
"So, do you have any questions?" Jazz asked in a normal voice.
"Uh, yeah. What does this note say?" Dani asked sheepishly. Jazz peered at her quizzically.
"Vlad didn't teach you how to read?" Jazz asked carefully. Dani shook her head. Jazz pursed her lips. "We'll just have to change that, then. Okay, so the note says..." Jazz finished the reading off the note. Dani smiled after she understood.
"Thank you, Jazz." Dani said quietly.
"You're welcome. I have to go to school, but stay in town, okay? You can go out, but I think I want to talk to you. I know Danny does. Maybe we can work out some sort of living arrangement for you." Jazz smiled at the girl. She walked out of her room and Dani heard the front door close quietly because of her enhanced senses just as Jazz's digital clock turned to 7:00 am.
Okay, I really like this one. I am here to apologize for spamming your inbox a couple days ago, and also to disclaim the song by Of Monsters and Men, Little Talks. Also, I was about to catch up, but state testing ruined my roll. My brain is dead. Also, I will definitely not be updating Sunday, and probably not on Saturday, either, but it's possible. Unedited!
