Really very sorry about the wait. I was having major writers block with this story, even though I have it all planned out. xD
I'm going to try to get the next chapter out by Friday. Next Wednesday at the worst.
Anyway here's chapter two, where you get to know about Kaleen (who plays a bigger part later, obv.) and more into the plot, but not really.
A week later of hiding Danielle in the guest room, and very close calls, Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz and Danielle stood on the side of the road outside Aunt Kaleen's. She had gotten home from another trip just a month ago, and she was only staying home for another week, so it was basically now or never.
"Alright. We're going to go into Kaleen's, Danielle invisible, and you're going to slowly introduce her to the secret." Tucker relayed the plan once more for everyone. "We'll see how that goes, and if it goes good, then we'll introduce Danielle."
"Alright." Danny said nervously. "I really hope your plan works, Jazz."
Danielle turned herself invisible, and they all walked up Kaleen's path. She had a very small house, two bedrooms, one bathroom, a small living room and a kitchen all in one story. She wasn't there much, as she had got rich quick and retired early.
When they reached the door Danny knocked and a few moments later a tall women opened the door. She had greying, black hair pulled back in a ponytail and the same blue eyes as Danny.
"Danny, Jazz." She beamed. "What brings you all the way over here?"
"Um, do you mind if we come in?" Jazz asked. "We have a bit of a favor to ask you."
"Of course." She smiled and let them pass. "Don't mind the mess and lack of food; I'm off on a trip in a week."
"Yeah, we know." Danny said. His breath had quickened and he was growing paler by the second. "Listen, the favor we have to ask you, comes with a bit of a secret. One that we really need you to keep."
"If this is about that ghost girl that was out on the sidewalk with you and your obvious relation to her, just let it out." She told them. When they gave her 'what?' looks, she explained further walking around her living room and throwing things into a suitcase. "I'm not an idiot like the rest of the world seems to be! I can tell when someone looks like my nephew! So come out with it." She turned towards her, her hands on her hips.
Danielle appeared beside Tucker and smiled at her nervously.
"Alright. I guess I should just start from the beginning." Danny sighed, and with that, he relayed his story of becoming a halfa, all the way until Dani fell through his window.
"So, you got shocked by one of your parents' weird inventions and you got some ghost powers. Then Jack's old school mate, who also has ghost powers, and wants you as his son, made little miss over there from your DNA?"
Danny nodded.
"Well, weirder things have happened." She laughed nervously. "Why're you so white Danny? You look like you've seen a ghost." She laughed for real. "I'm funny."
"Okay, if we ever tell anyone else, no way are we going to get better a reaction than that." Tucker announced.
"Alright, well that's not all of it." Jazz continued. "You see, about a week ago, Danielle's lair, her home in the Ghost Zone, was destroyed. And there's basically a 'one lair per ghost' rule. So we need a place for her to stay."
"Tucker wanted to put me in a foster home." Danielle told her.
"Let. It. GO." Tucker said through gritted teeth.
"You know I'd love to help, but I'm off in a week for Australia and I'm staying for 4 months." Kaleen explained.
"We've thought of that." Danny told her. He really couldn't believe how cool she was about all this, and just figured she was freaking out on the inside. "We were actually counting on it. You're going away, and you need someone to watch the daughter that used to live with her father."
"So you ring up our parents, and asked them to watch the daughter you forgot to tell them about." Jazz added, "They say yes, because we have a spare room and you're family, and boom. Danielle has a home, you're off on your trip and everyone wins."
Kaleen looked at the five kids in front of her, studying the pleading looks and sighed. "Alright, I'll do it." She shrugged. "Get me a phone."
The gang all cheered, Tucker and Danielle high-fiving. "We knew you'd do it, Kaleen!" Danny said as he raced for the phone.
The call to Maddie and Jack went down smoothly, with lots of precision and vague details.
Danielle would be moving in the next day, though she didn't have a lot to move in with.
Sam has decided she would go down to the mall with her and buy her some new clothes if she promised little to none pink.

The next day was rather hectic. Not only did Danielle have to get enrolled into school with no paperwork, (this had been taken care of with some over shadowing help of Danny's) Danielle also had to move into the guest bedroom of Fenton Works, start her tutor sessions with Jazz and trying to reason with the Fenton's that she didn't look that much like Danny.
Finally, the weekend past, and Danielle was staring her first day of school. (If you don't count her time there as Dani Phantom, that is.) ((Reference to School.))
She woke up early, pulling back her long black hair into a low ponytail, and then putting on her red tank top, and blue jeans on, followed by red sneakers and her red beanie. She pulled a green back pack over her shoulder and went downstairs for breakfast.
She had just sat down at a chair next to Jazz when Danny raced down the stairs, still pulling a shoe on.
Jazz rolled her eyes and without pulling her eyes up from her food she said, "Danny, you're not late."
Danny stopped dead, nearly tripping over his own foot and looked towards the girls still sitting at the table. "I'm not?" He asked, and then checked the time.
"Oh, cool." He smiled, walking into the kitchen and pouring some cereal. "So, Ellie, are you excited?"
"Yeah." She smiled. "I mean, not only did I get to experience school as a famous kid, not I get to experience it as a normal kid."
Jazz shrugged. "It'll lose its appeal eventually."
"Well, aren't you little Miss. Pessimistic this morning." Danny smirked.
"Whatever, let's go. I'll drive."
"Well, I was going to offer, but if you insist." The 14-year-old smirked.
"Shut up, Danny."

Okay, all reviews welcome. That means ideas of what can happen in two months, flames, things I can improve on.
Heck, just review your favourite colour if you want.
(mine's blue)
Oh, and answer this if you can. London, England - Paris, France - Venus, Italy – or - Athens, Greece?
Alright, bye, loves.
