Chapter 3

Unexpected Company

(Author's Note: Okay I'm back! I have had quite a depressing week; first one of my friends tells me that my best guy friend invited her to a basketball game and that she loved him, even though he asked me out, then I have those people who hate Danny Phantom and I was like Back off bro! He's mine! So yup. Anyway this is where the Fentons, minus Danny, find out about Danielle. Sam and Tucker never really heard the full story so…..this is kinda a first timer for them too.

Danny: Okay we get the idea! You're going to spoil the chapter! Let's go already! I'm missing my ice cream!

Sam: Danny chill! It's not like your ice cream is going to actually melt when you haven't even gotten there yet! Geez. I mean even Tucker's sane for once!

Tucker: Why thanks- wait that was an insult wasn't it?!

Eva Phazma: Annywayyyyy…..I don't own Danny Phantom. Here's chapter three of The Life of a Hero!

This Chapter is dedicated to my best friend Tori. She's an amazing person and is so sweet! Thank you so much for being there for me T!

-DannyFenton-DannyPhantom-

For some odd reason, Danny could just feel something was going to happen. You know that tingly feeling when you can sense something? Yeah….that was about the all over feeling right now. He looked over to Sam who was eating her salad, then Tucker who was shoving meat into his face like no tomorrow. Danny made a lettuce wrap then took a bite.

"Danny, are you okay? You seemed bothered," Jazz said looking at his expression. Danny sighed. They all knew him too well.

"I just have this gut feeling something's going to happen. You know that nervousness in the pit of your stomach that just will not go away!" He was starting to get frustrated. Right now, if something were to happen, they were sitting ducks! Danny let out a puff of air and took another bite out of his wrap. "It's just so frustrating! I'm just sitting here, being stared at like an animal while I have a feeling something is gonna happen! It's just not right!" Sam stared sympathetically. She knew Danny couldn't stand being on the sidelines long. It made her wonder how he did it before the asteroid came. Danny looked worried but since he didn't know if his precautions were right, he decided to lay low.

"So Danny-Boy! Tell me, how has ghost fighting been?" Jack asked turning towards Team Phantom. Danny smiled knowing his dad couldn't go long without bringing up ghosts.

"Actually Dad, things have been pretty quiet. I figured they would be considering the asteroid was only two weeks ago," Danny replied. Jack nodded and began a conversation with Maddie about the new invention he was making called The Fenton Electromagnet. Danny and the team decided to listen in and decide if it was going on the "must avoid" list. As Jack described it, Tucker took notes on his always present PDA for later. Jazz made a mental note to talk to her dad about dangerous weapons, especially because Danny was around. Tucker reviewed his notes when Jack finished. Fenton Electromagnet. Locates ghosts' ecto-signature and pulls them towards the magnet. Magnet will take all powers through electric shock depending on the level of the ghost. Defiantly on the Must Avoid list! Danny had gone pale through the whole description. What if he was suddenly pulled into that?! He looked to Jazz for help.

"Dad, I think you shouldn't make that invention. I mean what if Danny gets caught up in it? Won't it hurt him?" Jazz informed her father.

Jack laughed, "Of course not Jazzy-Pants! I can make it ignore his ecto-signature. Then, he won't be picked up on it!" Jazz looked unsure but didn't argue any further.

Suddenly everyone in the waiting area screamed and ran out. Danny jumped up sensing something was wrong. What he didn't expect was a black and white blur hitting him straight on. Danny and the figure tumbled across the floor as everyone else ran out of the building minus Team Phantom and the Fenton parents.

"Danny!" They yelled and took after their friend. Danny stopped rolling and tried to see his attacker. Then he yelled something only Sam and Tucker could figure out the person he spoke of.

"Dani! What are you doing here?!" He exclaimed pulling the person into a hug. Danielle gasped from the contact and tried pulling away. Danny took in his clone's appearance. She looked awful. Right then, the Ghost-Boy knew he shouldn't have let her "fly off dramatically" twice in a row.

"I finally found you! I've been looking all over! And why I'm here…if you haven't noticed, I've been through some rough times as you might say. I came out of the Ghost Zone to see if you could help me! I've been all around since the asteroid and I cannot find any where to stay," Danielle explained looking ashamed. She knew Danny was going to burst on her.

"Danielle! I told you, you could've stayed with me anytime! You were always welcome. Why didn't you come to me sooner either?! Now you look like you've been through war and back!" Danny replied. Danielle just smiled sheepishly. Danny sighed and hugged the young girl once more.

"Danny, mind explaining something for us?" Maddie asked her son. Danny turned to them and rubbed the back of his neck, an annoying habit he had. He grabbed Danielle's hand.

"Mom, Dad, this is Danielle and she's my clone. A while back, Vlad tried to make a successful clone of me but Danielle here was the result. He tricked her into doing his dirty work. It wasn't till she turned on him and Sam and Tucker showed up that I got out of that one! I haven't seen her since the asteroid fiasco," Danny explained looking at them with a weak smile.

Even Sam and Tucker hadn't heard what happened to Danny during Vlad's actions. But they soon learned on the car ride home. It was only 9:30 and Sam didn't have to be home for another hour, so the Fenton Family along with Sam, Tucker, and Danielle, headed back to FentonWorks for a long explanation about Dani. Danny had managed to describe half of it the way there and the other half as they sat in the living room.

Maddie and Jack were shocked to say the least. Dani was quiet during the whole thing. She felt awkward being the center of attention. She turned human when Danny had gotten to the part about Valerie finding out about her halfa status. Jazz had cooed over her saying Danny would've been way cuter if he was a girl. Danny had glared and Danielle burst out laughing. Maddie and Jack had went to talk for a moment then came back. Dani was feeling a pit of nervousness. What were they going to tell her? That she was a disgusting freak who shouldn't live? Or she was so cute and loving that they accepted her? Danny himself looked unsure.

Maddie stepped forward, "Daniel, for one thing, this is quite surprising. I think I've seen everything now. But Danielle, we have one question; how would you like to be a Fenton?"

Danielle smiled from ear to ear. She jumped up and hugged Maddie, Jack, Jazz, and Danny. "I would LOVE to be part of the Fenton Family," She exclaimed, tears leaking from her eyes. Everyone smiled. Looks like that dinner went well with interruptions.
