A/N: Today is Percy Jackson's birthday! SO I thought, since it's his bday, why not celebrate with the birth of a new chapter!
Also on all Percy Jackson and Danny Phantom fandoms, we all wish to date one of the two and yet we ship them with Annabeth and Sam so hard. It's so ironic.
Clarification purposes, for the purpose of the story, the ghost zone is one of the many layers of the Underworld.
BTW I will not be shipping Nico and Dani because well even though they're relatively the same age group, Nico has an older presence and is held at the same level as Percy, who is a 16 year old. Dani on the other hand is young and full of excitement and curiosity like a much younger child, making her a little ditzy in a way. I feel since in the series they made it as Nico had a slight crush on Annabeth who was wise and full of knowledge, he'd go for a girl like her, not someone who is still so young and pure.
-Anyways, If I paired Nico with anyone, I would probably pair him with Raven from Teen Titans, but their not apart of this story so oh well-
Annabeth POV:
"Somebody better start talking, And they better start now," I spat and brushed the loose curls away from my face. I looked at Percy's alarm clock which brightly glowing neon green numbers showing that it was 11:30 pm. Damn, is it that late already? Time had seem to fly by so fast. I saw Dani look towards Danny and they gave a slight nod in agreement. Danny had handed off the glowing hellhound 'Cujo' what Dani had called it, off to Dani, who held the glowing puppy contently.
"Well, See you know the Danny Phantom kid?" Danny asked lowering his voice, I nodded my head yes, "See, He had always had friends help him fight ghost. Which is where Dani, my friends, and I come in. See we may not have powers, but we help him fight ghost with inventions courteous of my parents, and fight the ghost who escape the ghost zone and terrorize citizens," Danny finished ending his statement in a content tone, Dani looked towards him for a quick second and gave a half-reassuring smile. I made a mental note that Dani seems to rely on boy Danny for answers, and that both of them rub their neck in embarrassment whenever attention is brought towards them.
"So, let me get this straight, You fight ghost, without being a ghost, using inventions, to protect defenseless people?" Percy asked with a puzzled look on his face. I sighed and looked to my boyfriend, sometimes I wonder about that boy... and he had saved Olympus!
"Yes, seaweed brain, that's what they just said," I rolled my eyes and Percy let out a chuckle. I looked to Nico who was smiling at Danny. Nico knew something and was withholding information, information that I want. I made another mental note to ask Nico what he knew. I must have so many mental notes jammed in my brain.
"Why did the hellhou- glowing dog, come and find you guys since you aren't Danny phantom?" I asked and tapped my foot waiting for another answer. My brain was fuming with possible answers I thought they might throw at me, and then I started to get distracted by Percy being all cute and -ugh, curse ADHD, Sometimes even the daughter of wisdom can't even think straight.
"Well since Danny and I are around Phantom and other ghost so often, we have traces of ecto-radiation on us, and Cujo here was able to pick it up and find us. But don't worry, Cujo here is a little guard dog, he won't hurt you unless you deserve to be hurt," Dani pipped as she rubbed the sleepiness out of her eyes with one hand, holding Cujo tightly in the other. Everyone in the room turns to Nico who immediately started laughing at the response, like not even his fake chuckle laugh, his real laugh, the one I haven't heard since... well since before his sister died and he liked to play a mythology card game.
"What's so funny?" Danny asked sounding agitated. Nico shook his head and replied with a simple nothing and sat back down, right in the same spot he had resided to earlier.
"Okay, now it's our turn to ask the questions," Danny informed without any sign of hesitation, "Why do you carry swords around?" Danny raised an eyebrow to Percy, who seemed like he was about to answer truthfully, but I still don't trust Danny, so I didn't trust him with our secrets.
I looked to Percy who was about to answer til I cut him off.
"We didn't have any swords, I have no clue what you're talking about. Danny are you okay, do you need to sleep?" I said without any hint that I was lying. Percy looked at me and then looked back at the Danny(s).
"But... But.. I had seen the pen turn into a... a sword..." Dani mumbled under her breath. Danny nodded his head in agreement to Dani. I sighed, praying to the Gods that they'd buy it. The two seem to shrug the thought off as Dani handed Danny Cujo. Thank you Gods, I'm so happy they bought the story. The room seemed to grow tense and quiet. It was rather awkward. Danny who looked weary got up and break the silence.
"I'm going to get rid of Cujo and send his back to the ghost zone. Watch Dani, I think she may be asleep," Danny said looked toward Dani who was on the ground snoring at a comfortable pace on the floor. I looked at Nico who had his eyes closed, but I knew he wasn't asleep, he was just being Nico. Danny walked out the door and I heard the front door close. Nico had shot up immediately, and Percy looked at me, knowing what he was going to say.
Percy POV:
After Danny walked out, Annabeth glared at me waiting for me to speak. I looked at her as Nico got up and walked towards up.
"Why didn't we tell them the truth?!" I asked Annabeth who shushed me because Dani was sound asleep, Annabeth then picked up Dani and laid her down on my bed putting a blanket over her. Not till that moment, I would have never pinned Annabeth as someone so gentle, so mother like. I think it made her even more wonderful than she already was. The three of us walked into the living room, Annabeth and I shoulder to shoulder while a quiet Nico trudged along behind us.
"I didn't want Danny to know the truth," Annabeth started, "I have a feeling that both of the two are very very strong, but I think they're still hiding something from us both. I didn't want to give away the one thing we had to give us an edge." Annabeth paced back and forth in front of the TV while Nico sat on the couch I kind of destroyed with Riptide. I was the reason we didn't have good furniture. Nico sat up and looked at Annabeth who was still pacing as her mind was racing fast and face was turning red as if she was angry.
"I agree, Danny and Dani are both very strong, though I can't seem to figure Danielle out," Agreed Nico who sat up. I raised my eyebrow as I heard something Nico probably didn't realize he had said.
"So are you implying that you have figured out boy Danny already?" I asked and I heard Nico curse something at himself for giving such key information away. Annabeth stopped pacing and glared at Nico who looked down to shield his face away from our glances.
"It's not my place to say, really, it isn't," Nico pleaded. Annabeth and I both sighed knowing we wouldn't get a real answer out of Nico, no matter how much we tried.
"I think that Danny might be a monster of some sort or is a very strange human who can see through the mist. But whatever Danny is, he isn't a half-blood, since Danny is very strong, and at his age already after the claiming age, he should have already been killed by some sort of monster by now," Annabeth suggested posing a real question of what is Danny.
"ha, a very strange human indeed," Nico mumbled. I shot him a look and he let his messy hair cover his eyes.
"I think there is something about Danielle, she is very strong at the young age of 12, making her the right age for camp, both her parents are 'dead', and she seems to have some sort of great powers locked inside her, which might be because she's a child of one of the Big Three, which would put her in a lot of danger. I could tell she was powerful the way she had that comfortable walk around the 'ghost hellhound'," I said thinking about what had just happened in the last few hours. And yes, I did call it a ghost hellhound, because that was the only way I could justify it. The other two seemed to nod their head in agreement with what I said.
"You know, she'd never agree to come to camp with us without Danny, or Danny would stop her from going.." Annabeth said, her voice started to fade as she went in my room to check up on Dani.
"Well, I'd hate to do this or even say it but, I think for her own safety, I think we should take her to camp right now while Danny's gone, and find out who her parent is. We may not know what Danny is, but he could be putting Danielle's life in danger," I said with my voice quivering a bit, knowing that if we left Danny without knowing where his little cousin was, after he lost his entire family. And if we were wrong, we would crush his heart, which was already so fragile. But for the safety of Danielle, who heck, may even be my half sister, I was willing to take the risk. My girlfriend nodded in agreement of the plan, telling me that we must keep Dani asleep or she may freak out and return to Danny.
"So it's agreed, we need to leave now. Only question now is, how do we get to camp fast?" I asked no one in particular. Until Nico stood up and looking at Annabeth who was cradling a sleeping Dani in her arms.
"Leave the transportation to me. Who's up for a little shadow traveling?" Nico asked with a devious smile. This was going to be interesting...
Danny POV:
As I left the apartment with Puppy Cujo in my arms, I couldn't help but think about how much I missed Sam and Tucker. Sure I knew they'd be coming to New York soon but, still, my heart kind of ache for them. Geez I am such a spaz. Even though it was fairly late and dark in New York, there were a lot of people out. The city was glistening with life. Which means I can't go ghost right in public I had to go the nearest empty park to get rid of Cujo. I walked maybe five blocks when I found a small park and sat on the edge of a gravel fountain that wasn't running at the moment. I looked my watch to see the green glowing numbers showing that is was already 12:16 am. No wonder Dani was so tired. The group of teens, who I still didn't trust, were making quite an amount of noise at the house at such a late hour. I'm flabbergasted that Sally and Paul hadn't woken up to check on all of us. At the park Cujo wandered around a bit with me following him behind. Two bright blue circles appeared around my waist and one went upwards and the other went down, changing me into Danny Phantom. I created a small neon green ghost ray that formed in my hand making a green eerie glow in the dark park. I shot the ray out of the palm of my hand and it went far. I knew that Cujo would go after and when Cujo doesn't eventually find it, he'll head back to the ghost zone himself. Cujo barked and chased after the light. Even though Sam said that this trick was cruel to Cujo, it was the only thing able to keep him out of my way at the moment. The green glow had left the area and everything seemed fine till my ghost sense came out of my mouth. I turned around to see the one and only Vlad Plasmius.
"Hello my boy," Vlad said sickly as if he knew his voice would make me want to do something like say some snide comment or attack him without thinking. But sorry Uncle Vlad, I'm use to the same old tricks. I glared at him without talking. "I see Danny, the silent treatment. Well if I were you, I'd stop giving the silent treatment, and head to your new home, little badger. I'd imagine you'd find that those kids are missing and that they took Danielle." And with that Vlad vanished. When did he start delivering messages? It was super weird of the crazed fruitloop to just talk and not fight at all or even try to get me to be his son/apprentice. The words that he said blazed in my mind though. "Those kids are missing and they took Danielle,". I had to get back to the apartment with a lot on my mind. I walked into see that Vlad was actually being honest. Percy, Nico and Annabeth were nowhere to be seen though Paul and Sally still laid in bed peacefully. Danielle wasn't there either, my ghost sense hadn't gone off, so I know she wasn't invisible.
I ran to the front door, determined to find these kids who took Dani and get her back. Right when I opened the door I heard the sound of a plane landing. I looked up the see the specter speeder. I floated upwards to see the only two who are able to help me in this kind of situation, Sam and Tucker.
"Danny!" my friends cried as I floated into the inside of the specter speeder. The two embraced me in a warm hug and then pulled away.
"Danny, now that all this mushy stuff is over, you have some explaining to do," Sam demanded crossing her pale arms right above her her bare stomach. I sighed and began to catch them up.
I hope you enjoyed! I hope you have a wonderful Percy Jackson Birthday
Also question for you guys (and it's very off topic and out of the blue but...) , by the way I write, how old does it seem like I am?
Reviews:
Gliss Phantom: You have great taste in favorite characters :) seems like you like all the main protagonist of the show and book(s).
Minilopsided: Haha don't worry about it, my cousin complains about his nook doing that all the time! You have a nice choice of characters, especially Hesita, who I might consider bringing in later... Well soon see who will make the first move. ;)
Aliceelric7: Interesting choice in having Dan be a favorite.. What make you like him so much?
Inviso-Al: Some secrets will be revealed soon, but first these heroes need to do a certain amount of lying. Danny had defeated the old ghost king, and Since Nico is the only (known) son of Hades supreme ruler of underworld and ghost, it would make Nico (by line of association), the new ghost king, because Danny killed the old one.
Inviso-Reader: Being a Californian is awesome. I'm a 30 minute drive from the beach, an hour drive to the redwood forests, and a 5 hour drive up to the snow, without even leaving the state. Almost all natural born Californians that's I've met, all have a slight tan, like a light glow to them. I wouldn't say because Annabeth and I are from the same state means that we look similar. I mean sure we both have a cali tan and super curly hair but other than that, not much...
Brenlin: You and me both are jumping around making a fool out of ourselves, but hey you know the only thing to blame is puberty! and thanks, i try to post often when i get a new idea, so then It stays fresh in my mind. ily2 (in a friend kind of way haha)
4everepic: Hey do you think i should bring Thalia into the story? I wasn't sure, maybe I'll have her either become best friends with Sam or mortal enemys
HermioneX: I'm glad! I think everyone needs a little mystery in theif lives :)
