Season 2 Episode 16
Masters of All Times
"It's Time for HORROR!"

It was a normal, quiet afternoon at Amity Park and the weekend has finally arrived for the students of Casper High. The three best friends, Dani Fenton, Sam Manson, and Tina Foley, were all pigging out at their favorite fast food hangout restaurant, the Nasty Burger, for a satisfying afternoon snack without a care in the world.

"Ah, Nasty Burger." Dani sighed to both of her best friends after she drank some of her soda. Tina was leaning and relaxing against her seat with her stomach bulged out a little from all of her burgers and fries while Sam chewed on some of his salad. "Our safe haven, away from the worries of-"

However, Dani's relaxation was cut short when her older brother, James, suddenly barged into the restaurant with an urgent look on his face. "Dani, run!" He warned before he ran to her table.

Dani faced him in confusion. "Run? Why should I…"

She faltered when her answer came in person as her parents, Matt and Jackie Fenton, barged into the fast food restaurant as well, wearing some goofy 80s clothing while Jackie held a radio over her shoulder. "DUDE!" They said in unison to the customers. All of the teenagers gasped at the sight of the adults dressed in 80s clothes while Dani stared at them in surprise until everyone in the building began to laugh hysterically at the weirdly dressed couple.

James slid next to Sam and tried to hide himself under the table as he peeked his eyes over the edge in embarrassment. "If anyone asks, I'm related to you." James mumbled to Sam.

"Okay, but you're gonna have to be a lot less cheery." Sam said as he crossed his arms and gave James his signature stare.

Jackie and Matt then approached to their daughter's table, ignoring the hysterics happening in the restaurant. "We're, like, totally late for 80s night at the Material Grill." Jackie said in her best 80s talk.

"But you, like, totally forgot your purse, kid." Matt added as he handed Dani, who had her head buried under her hands in embarrassment, her blue purse.

"Uh...thanks." Dani mumbled as she slumped and frowned even more in embarrassment as she took her purse.

"Don't mention it, we love you, kid!" Jackie said.

Matt suddenly gave his youngest daughter a big, bone crushing hug while she groaned for air and she glanced at her brother as she scowled. "If I pass out, I give you permission to not resuscitate me!" James tried to hide his face by opening up a menu.

Jackie then turned on the 80s music on her radio. "Come on, Matthew! Let's crank up the tunes and moonwalk outta here!"

Matt released Dani, making her breath heavily, and he joined his wife. "Oh, just like our college days!" He said before they moonwalked away from the table and did the robot dance.

Dani facepalmed herself when she became even more embarrassed. "Cheer up, Dani, I'm sure there's a couple of kids at school who didn't see that." Sam said reassuringly to his friend.

Mikaela suddenly slid up with a video camera in her hands and a bright smile. "Whoa, this one's going straight on the internet!" She exclaimed.

Dani pounded her fist on the table as she shouted in frustration before she stormed away from her table. "Dani, wait!" Sam and Tina called out to her in unison before they followed her to the back of the Nasty Burger.

Dani stopped and crossed her arms, looking sick and tired of her parents embarrassing her all the time. The hunting ghost thing she has gotten used to, but now they had to walk into a Casper High hangout restaurant to show off their college styles with bad 80s music.

"Just once, I'd like to know what it's like to live in a normal family!" Dani exclaimed with her fists clenched.

"Which you never will, so long as you're Jackie Fenton's daughter." The trio gasped when they heard Vladia Plasmius, Dani's archenemy and an old 'friend' of her parents'. They glanced up when they saw her in her ghost form as she stood on a street light before she descended off and landed in front of Dani.

Dani rolled her eyes in annoyance while Sam and Tina remained silent and glared at the villainess woman. "Great, more weirdness from my parents' college days." She changed into her ghost form and glared at her archenemy, wondering why she would fly all the way from Madison, Wisconsin to her own hometown. Probably to finish up what she desired, probably to kill her mother, steal her father from her mother, or try to take herself as her own daughter/successor again, or maybe all of them. "What do you want with me this time, Plasmius?"

Instead of raising to her feet, Vladia groaned in pain as she held onto her face and remained on her fours before she changed back to her human form.

"The ecto-acne...it's back." She removed her hand from her face, revealing that she had large red bumps all over her face and she looked horrible when she held out her hand towards Dani in plead while it trembled in weakness. "Please help me."

Dani, Sam, and Tina all gasped in horror at the sight of her hideous face until they glared at her again.

"Help you? Yeah, right." Sam scoffed sarcastically as he crossed his arms in disapproval.

"Why would we wanna do that?" Tina demanded.

"I thought you'd never ask." Vladia said as she smirked evilly at the teens.

She held up some kind of cylinder and threw it in front of Sam and Tina's feet as purple smoke emerged from it, covering them from view as they coughed. Dani was about to walk through the smoke to help her friends, until Vladia grabbed her ankle, making her turn sharply around as she glared down at the billionairess half-ghost woman.

"Help me find a cure or my fate is theirs." She said before she immediately fell unconscious from exhaustion and weakness.

Dani gasped when she turned back to her friends just as the smoke cleared and showed Tina and Sam coughing. They revealed their faces and they had large red bumps like Vladia's. Dani stared at them in horror when she realized that her archenemy has infected her best friends with ecto-acne and that she was blackmailing her into finding a cure by infecting her closest friends as well to make sure she had no other choice.


Theme Song:

(She's a phantom)

(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)

Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged

(Phantom, Phantom)

When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)


Sam and Tina both screamed at the sight of their faces that were now infected with ecto-acne, all thanks to Vladia while Dani grabbed her unconscious body as she tried to shake her awake.

"Vladia, wake up! Tell me there's antidote! Tell me you're bluffing! Tell me anything, just wake up!" Dani demanded as she held her by her collar.

"BACK OFF, GHOST!" Jackie demanded as Dani turned her head and then she suddenly got blasted away from Vladia by some green foam, sending her shouting and crashing onto a pile of crates. Jackie and Matt ran up to the back of the Nasty Burger with Ecto-Foamers in their hands. "Nobody slaps around Jackie Fenton's college gal!"

James ran out of the building in front of his parents in concern. "Dani!" He exclaimed in worry before he cringed when he forgot his parents were behind him, but he quickly covered up what he just said. "...must be around here somewhere! I'll go look for her!" He pointed over his shoulder and bolted away.

Jackie and Matt faced to Dani again, but their eyebrows rose in surprise when they saw that the ghost girl was already gone without a trace. Matt gasped in worry as they both kneeled over Vladia in concern as Jackie poked her forehead. "Vladia...are you alright?"

"Found her!" James walked back outside the Nasty Burger with Dani walking beside him in her human form.

"Thanks for finding me!" Dani said innocently to her brother in a singsong voice with her hands behind her back and tipped on her toes briefly.

"Whoa!" Jackie said when she and Matt noticed Sam and Tina's conditions. They saw that they, too, had ecto-acne and were beginning to feel very tired and weak already from the disease.

Mat walked over to his daughter's friends and checked on their faces, but he knew it was already confirmed: Vladia, Sam, and Tina all were infected with a bad case of ecto-acne. "We have an outbreak of ecto-acne...and there's only one place on Earth that knows how to treat ecto-acne!" Matt said as he made a determined face before his wife gave him a thumbs up in agreement.

"Please say hospital, please say hospital, please say hospital…" Dani pleaded to herself.

Unfortunately, fate wasn't on Dani's side when all of the Fentons made their home, Fenton Works, into a bio-hazardous location with their entire house all wrapped up in an orange tent and began to treat Vladia, Sam, and Tina inside to find themselves a cure for them.

"Why couldn't he say hospital?" Dani asked, sounding miffed.

The entire Fenton Family have changed into some hazmat suits to protect themselves from breaking out as well. James was rubbing Sam's forehead in concern, Dani was scanning Tina's face for any analyses and for the cause of the outbreak, while Jackie and Matt both checked their three patients' vital infos and hoping to find a cure for this terrible disease.

Vladia groaned weakly when she began to stir awake. "Hey, everyone! She's awake!" Matt announced as he began to dab her head with a wet towel.

"Ah, Matthew, I knew you wouldn't let me down." Vladia said delightedly with a smile, but only to earn another weird look from Matt before he returned to work. The billionairess then grinned cleverly and evilly at Dani. "It's almost like you didn't have a choice." Dani growled angrily at her archenemy before she stormed away.

"Looking good, Vladia!" Jackie said to Vladia, but her smile dropped when she turned her attention back to the monitors as they began to beep and saw that her vitals were dropping slowly. "Oh, who am I kidding? You're a goner."

Tina suddenly sat up from her bed in shock. "WHAT?! I can't be a goner! I haven't even dated a prep yet!" She exclaimed in fright.

"Trust me, you're never gonna live that long." Sam said to her with a sarcastic frown, making Tina groan as she flopped back down onto her bed in weakness.

"There has to be something we could do for them!" Dani said urgently to her parents, desperately wanting to help her friends (but obviously not for Vladia).

Matt sighed in agreement, but looked very troubled as he checked his computers for some valuable information for a possible cure. "I wish I could, Dani, but I still can't identify the ecto-impurities that are causing the lethal acne." He replied.

"LETHAL?!" Sam and Tina exclaimed in shock before they and James glared angrily at Vladia, who only grinned casually as she sat up.

"Ah, life is so unfair, and for you two, growing shorter." She said to Sam and Tina, until Dani suddenly grabbed her by her jacket and went face-to-face with her aggressively, but Vladia's smile didn't drop like she wouldn't care if she harmed a couple of teenagers who were close to her archenemy, even having no qualms whatsoever.

"I swear if they find a cure, I'm gonna make you wish they hadn't!" Dani growled angrily.

"Oh, good one! I swear I get chills when you get do dramatic, but if I were you, I'd focus more on saving your friends." Vladia smiled even more as she glanced at Tina and Sam who were breathing heavily and shivering respectively. "They're running out of time, you know."

Dani allowed her words to sink in when she heard a valuable word. "Time?" She then smiled with an idea. "That gives me a great idea…"

Dani quickly traveled into the Ghost Zone to find an old ally of hers who helped her once before: Chrona, the Mistress of Time. She arrived at her clock tower deep in the realm of the endless void as she explained to her her idea, but she calmly admitted it was a terrible plan.

"No, it's a horrible idea." Chrona said with her usual calm voice while her arms were crossed. "I'm the mistress of time, not the mistress of miracle cures."

"Please, send me back in time to my parents' college days, Chrona. I can prevent the accident that gave Vladia her original break of ecto-acne...and her ghost powers." Dani pleaded.

"Changing the past can have dire consequences. Are you willing to take that risk?" Chrona changed into her child form.

Dani looked at the window and saw her best friends dying from their ecto-acne as they slept on their beds in Fenton Works. "Chrona, I was about to lose my friends once, and I don't want to risk losing them again, and...I don't want to make the same mistake I once bestowed upon them." She turned her attention back to the time ghost. "Please? Sam and Tina are my best friends and...I don't have much of a choice."

"You always have a choice, Dani Phantom, but since you insist on learning things the hard way…" Chrona changed into her elder form as she opened a time portal to the 80s, back to her parents' college days, the day Vladia had her accident. Dani gave one last doubtful look to the time ghost before she flew through the portal. "...try not to destroy the past."


Dani was teleported into the 80s, twenty years in the past before her present. She found herself hiding behind a sign that read 'the University of Wisconsin' and saw students dressed in 80s clothes as they chatted, danced in their style, and took photos of themselves.

"Destroy the past? And what, lose all this culture?" Dani asked herself sarcastically.

"Totally awesome outfit, girl." A random 80s girl said to her as she turned to her and gave her a thumbs up before she walked away.

"Oh great, I blend." Dani then laughed a little. "Well, I guess it beats people thinking I'm a…" Dani faltered when she noticed a notification board and pulled out a flyer. She read it and realized it was an invite for anyone who wished to see the experimenting on the very first proto-portal, and she knew that was where she will find her parents...and Vladia.

Dani phased into the science room and found the younger versions of her parents and Vladia (still fully human since the experiment hasn't even began yet, and her hair was still black). She noticed that Vladia was staring romantically at Matt as he pressed some buttons on a small pad that was attached to the machine.

"Matthew, there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time…" Vladia began, giving her the goo-goo eyes.

"One second, Vladia." Matt interrupted before looking over to Jackie. "Jackie, did you remember to fill the filtrator with Ecto-Purifier?"

"On it, Matty!" Jackie said, but she was reading off her clipboard when she didn't notice that she grabbed a can of diet cola instead.

Dani gasped when she saw her empting the entire can into the portal's filtrator. Jackie noticed that Matt was staring at her lovingly before she gave him the same look.

Vladia, however, looked away and crossed her arms in jealousy before she walked over to the proto-portal as she inspected it, but looked very doubtful about the device. "I'm telling you, Jackie, it won't work." Vladia said irritably.

"Quit your nagging, V-girl, it totally will! This proto-portal is guaranteed to bust open the wall into the ghost dimension!" Jackie said with confidence as she pounded her fist into her palm.

As Vladia leaned to the device to take a closer look at it, Jackie grabbed the remote that would activate the machine while Matt examined the paper analyses. He made a perplexed face as he turned to Jackie. "Jackie, these calculations aren't right." He noticed.

"BUNSEYE!" Jackie didn't listen to him when she flipped the remote's switches as the filtrator began to shake up while the portal began to glow.

Like what should have happened, the blast headed straight for Vladia, but Dani quickly swooped in and shoved Vladia out of the way as Jackie and Matt scattered out of the way. The energy beam ricocheted off a blackboard, a trophy, and then a computer before it headed straight for Matt. Luckily, Vladia managed to get to her feet and shoved him out of the way when the beam blasted at something else in a flash of light.

"Vladia...you...saved my life." Matt said to her as he slowly smiled in gratitude.

"Yes, I did, didn't I?" She said as she smiled warmly.

Dani saw her accomplishment as she smiled to herself. "No ecto-acne, no Plasmius...mission accomplished." She said. Chrona watched the whole thing from her tower and she pressed on her staff and teleported Dani back to her own timeline, where she found herself back at Amity Park. "Back home and no quarantine tent, which means everyone is alright." Dani opened her eyes and gasped in shock when she found her house with no OP Center and no 'Fenton Works' sign. She quickly changed back to human form and ran inside the building and saw that the entire house was completely trashed and wasted, and there wasn't a single family photo anywhere and it was officially freaking her out. "Mom?! Dad?! James?!"

She suddenly heard footsteps approaching when she turned and saw an angry Jackie towering over her, her face covered with ecto-acne. "Nobody tresspasses Jackie Nightingale's property!" She exclaimed.

"Mom! Relax!"

Jackie gave her a look like she has never seen Dani in her entire life. "Mom? I don't have a daughter, I'm single." She then looked down sadly. "Bitterly, bitterly single."

"You are? And your maiden name is Nightingale? Gee...that explains a lot." Dani also wondered what her mother's original surname was, but what really confused her was that she used that instead of Fenton, like she wasn't Jackie Fenton at all.

Jackie overheard her mutter when she got angry again. "What?!"

"Nothing! Nothing!" Dani then finally noticed that her face was covered with ecto-acne, which confused her even more when she cocked an eyebrow. "I-is that ecto-acne?"

"It's a condition...that you shouldn't know about!" Jackie suddenly grabbed Dani by her shoulders and lifted her in the air and demanded an explanation. "How do you know about ecto-acne?! TALK!"

Dani was now getting more frightened and confused by her mother's attitude. "I'm...your daughter! I know all about the accident in Wisconsin years ago...that shouldn't have happened."

Jackie glared at her bitterly. "Oh, it happened alright." She roughly threw Dani onto the floor as she grunted. "And my life went straight down the flusher from that day on!"

White rings appeared at her torso and intersected her body as Dani stood to her feet and rubbed her head before she gasped when she saw that her mother has turned into a pudgy version of Plasmius, and she realized that she was half-ghost. Jackie growled angrily as she fired a pink ecto beam at Dani, but thanks to her quick reflexes, she managed to duck in time while it blasted at the wall behind her instead.

"WAIT! It's me! Dani, your daughter!" Dani avoided another beam attack with a yelp as she jumped out of the way and landed on the floor.

"LIES! I DO NOT HAVE A DAUGHTER! And even if I did, I certainly wouldn't name her Dani, that's dumb!"

Dani stood up and narrowed her eyes with provoke. "Okay, I didn't want to do this in front of you, but...going ghost!" She changed into her ghost form before she brought out her Boo-staff and spun it expertly as she got into a defensive pose.

Jackie stared at the girl in surprise. "You're a ghost?" She became angry again. "I HATE GHOSTS!" She threw an ecto ball at Dani, who deflected it away with her staff before she ran across the living room, avoiding her beams before she flew into the air and stared down at her alternative mother.

"I don't understand, that's got to be Mom." Jackie fired more beams, but missed Dani completely with terrible aim. "She aims like Mom."

"If it wasn't for ghosts, I would have never lost the love of my life!" Jackie suddenly flew up to the air and grabbed Dani as she yelped. Then the obese ghost woman threw her through the floor as Dani screamed while she crashed through the floor from Jackie's super strength and crash landed in the lab.

"Oh, this is bad. I gotta get back to Chrona and change this." Dani deactivated her staff and gasped when she saw that there was no ghost portal at the end of the lab. "No portal?" She spotted the same old proto-portal from the college in the past, now dirty and covered in cobwebs. "Okay, maybe I can squeeze through this stupid thing."

She suddenly spotted something behind it, and saw a newspaper about Matt Fenton marrying Vladia Masters and they became a new dairy couple while Vladia's name was changed to Fenton. Dani realized what Chrona meant by her learning the hard way that changing the past could have dire consequences. Her meddling has made Matt marry Vladia instead and that only left Jackie alone and half-ghost instead, and that she ruined her own mother's life.

"I didn't destroy the past...I destroyed the present!" Dani exclaimed with wide eyes before she ripped the newspaper and examined it urgently. "Mr. and Mrs. Fenton?! Vladia...a Fenton?!"

Dani gasped when Jackie phased right into the basement. "Say goodbye-" She shouted as she raised her energized fist, but faltered when Dani covered her face with the newspaper, making her calm down. "Goodbye...it seems all I ever do is say goodbye." She landed next to Dani as she stared at the newspaper article sadly.

"Mom...uh, Jackie, please just tell me what happened. I mean…" Dani smiled casually as she shrugged. "I'd love to hear you blabber on about the glory days."

Jackie stared at her before she looked down and thought to herself. "Well, my cat Jameson won't listen anymore. Well, it was about twenty years ago…"


As Jackie explained twenty years ago when Dani meddled, Vladia pushed Matt out of the way from the energy blast from the malfunctioning proto-portal.

"Vladia...you...saved my life." Matt said in gratitude.

"Yes, I did, didn't I?" She said, smiling at him.

They suddenly heard Jackie screaming as she revealed her face to be covered in ecto-acne as she freaked out. "I'm...I'm hideous! HIDEOUS!" She exclaimed, making Vladia and Matt both gasp in horror as Jackie ran away and they both held onto each other, both looking terrified at Jackie's face.

Jackie (Voiceover):
I may have lost Matthew Fenton that day, but I gained ghost powers...and twenty seven pounds.

Jackie, in her ghost form, looked down at her hands as they produced pink ecto-energy before she phased through the floor and out of sight.

After that, I tried finding my place in the world. First, as a ghost fighting superheroine...that didn't work out.

Jackie chased after a ghost running across the street before it hid behind a policewoman as she revealed to Jackie that the ghost was only an innocent child wearing a bed sheet costume. The other kids laughed hysterically at her, making her look embarrassed by her screw up.

Then again, I probably shouldn't have made my debut on Halloween.

Jackie phased herself into the house that should have been Fenton Works (since the original owner fearfully sold her house and ran away). Jackie looked out the window in despair and frustration.

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of my ghost half, the half I knew Matthew would never accept. Then I heard he married Vladia Masters and I just gave up.


Dani stared at her mother, who looked very depressed. Although she did look almost like Vladia Plasmius, Jackie was no billionairess since it appeared she never stole any money with her powers, and she actually wished to rid herself of them, after she idiotically made a fool of herself and was afraid Matt would never accept her. She didn't even appear to even have a grudge on Vladia for marrying Matt, like she was just allowing Matt and Vladia to be with each other, but she was still in love with Matt and wanted his love and acceptance. Dani could understand that feeling pretty well, she has always felt like that all the time since the day she became half-ghost that she was afraid that her parents would never accept her. And it was her fault that she ruined her mother's life, all because she prevented Vladia from becoming half-ghost like she was supposed to.

"Oh man...I'm so sorry. This is all my fault." Dani said as she looked down in shame.

"What are you bothering on about?" Jackie asked her in confusion as she cocked an eyebrow. Not looking up at Jackie, Dani pulled out her purse and gave it to her as she stared at the family picture of Jackie herself with Matt, and what caught her eyes was that they had two kids with them that she didn't recognize (but she has seen Dani in her human form earlier). "What...what is this?"

"Your family...with Matt Fenton. Vladia wasn't the one who was supposed to marry Matt, you were. I went back in time, changed one little moment in the past, and...messed everything up. I'm such an idiot." She turned back to Jackie, who was growling angrily as her fist trembled, making Dani panic a little. "But I-I-I can fix this! I just need to find a working portal-"

"MORE LIES!" Jackie duplicated herself into three as Dani gasped before the obese ghost woman blasted the ghost girl straight out of the house and sent her crashing into the Amity Park welcome sign and collapsed onto the roof. She looked up and saw the three Jackies flying out of the house until she quickly turned herself invisible. Luckily, Jackie couldn't see her since she and her duplicates flew away as they began their search.

Once she was gone, Dani dropped her invisibility and stood to her feet. "I have to get into the Ghost Zone and find Chrona. And if Mom doesn't have a portal, that means I have to find Dad and hope that he does." She then flew off into the sky as she made her way to Madison, Wisconsin.

After about a few hours, Dani finally arrived at Wisconsin and Vladia's castle. She landed near the entrance and changed back to human form, looking kind of exhausted. She has never really flown farther away than her hometown of Amity Park before, and it once took four days for Jackie to drive all the way to Madison from Amity Park, flying for that many hours has drained Dani greatly. She walked up to the front door and knocked before the alternative Fenton couple answered. Dani's eyes went wide at the sight of Matt wearing a blue polo shirt with black pants and a red sweater over his shoulder. Standing beside him was his wife, Vladia Fenton-Masters, looking about the same as Dani remembered her, but her hair was kind of black, but was turning gray from aging.

"How many times do I have to tell you? No free cheese samples!" Vladia exclaimed with her hands on her hips.

"Dad." Dani groaned as she collapsed to her legs from exhaustion.

"Dad?!" Matt and Vladia asked in shock.

They both took Dani into the castle where they gave her some food to eat with most of their dairy products like cheese, ice cream, milk, yogurt, and other different types of dairy food.

"We should call your parents. They must be worried sick." Matt said to the girl as she munched on her cheese.

"My parents are...sort of…" Dani said as she tried to fake some tears and pretended to be sad and that she was an orphan with no family as she bit on her cheese to drown her sadness. "There was an accident." Dani dropped her cheese and sobbed softly in her hands.

Matt and Vladia stared at the girl very concerned that she was crying painfully. Matt walked to Dani and comforted her when he placed his hand on her shoulder and wrapped his arm around her neck, looking pitifully at the girl.

"Oh, you poor thing." Matt said comfortably, and all Dani wanted was to be hugged by her father again.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, my dear." Vladia said sympathetically.

Matt looked at Dani as she sniffed and wiped her eyes. "Is there anything we can do to help? Do you need a place to stay?"

Vladia smiled as Matt stood up as they smiled romantically at each other. "Oh, your kindness knows no bounds, my love."

Vladia was about to kiss Matt until Dani suddenly came in between them and held onto Vladia's lips, not wanting to see her archenemy kiss her father. "Ah, okay! Not with a kid in the room please!" She exclaimed with a look of disgust. "And I know this is gonna be out of nowhere, but...do you guys have a ghost portal by any chance? My parents once told me you guys are very smart with the paranormal."

Matt laughed at her question. "That was true, young lady, but we stopped years ago after that...uh, nevermind." He faltered like it was a more private and secretive subject. "And why would we make a silly thing like a ghost portal?" He said before he looked away nervously like he was trying to keep something.

"Yes, I'm a simple dairy woman, successor to the Wisconsin Dairy King. WE DO NOT DISCUSS GHOSTS IN THE HOUSE!" Vladia snapped angrily as she threw her fists down.

"Then...why do you have an Ecto-Foamer?" Dani asked in confusion as she pointed her thumb at the Foamer gun sticking out of the closet.

Vladia noticed it until she gave her husband a look of suspicion. "What's the meaning of this?"

"Uh...that's my...carpet foamer!" Matt replied nervously before he smiled innocently at his wife. "It eliminates stains, not ghosts. Right, sweetheart?"

Vladia then smiled. "Matthew, can you forgive me for doubting you?"

Matt and Vladia shared a kiss with each other on the lips, that made Dani cringe in disgust as she covered her face behind her hands. "And I thought my real parents were embarrassing...this is so much worse." She muttered to herself.

Later on that night after everyone went to bed, Dani phased out of her room in her ghost form and into the hallway. She remembered most of Vladia's castle since she has been there before when she phased through the floor into where Vladia's ghost lab should be. She then began to phase through wall-to-wall of the lab, but she just realized that it was just an ordinary lab for inventing dairy products.

"Something's wrong here. Even if Dad was crazy enough to marry Vladia, there's no way he would give up ghost hunting to become a milk farmer." Dani said to herself as she leaned on a counter. She suddenly perked up when something clicked in her mind. She phased through the floor and found her father's secret ghost lab as she smiled. "I knew it!" She landed on the floor and began to look around. "Now all I need is…" She turned around and found a working ghost portal when she smiled in triumph and relief. "YES! A portal! I can get back to Chrona and-"

She suddenly heard a noise as she gasped and turned around when he found Matt in his signature blue jumpsuit and the Fenton Weasel in his hands. "Eat Fenton Weasel, ghost!" He exclaimed as he aimed his vacuum device and began to suck in Dani.

"WAIT! You don't underSTAAAAAAAND!" She shouted before she got completely sucked into the device and Matt walked off.

A few minutes later, Dani woke up and saw that she was out of the Weasel, but found Matt towering over her.

"Oh, you're awake? Good. I've got some questions for ya." Matt said before Dani panicked when she saw that she was restrained to an examination table and couldn't phased through them. Matt started up a machine for dissection as Dani strained with wide eyes. "Let's start with, who are you and why are you snooping around my secret lab?"

He aimed his hose-like device, making Dani panic even more. "Wait, what are you doing?!" He fired a tiny ray and moved it close to her arm. "STOP!"

"Oh, scream all you want, ghost! This lab is totally soundproof...well, it has to be, or my wife would find out about it." He aimed his laser device again at the ghost girl with a demanding glare. "Now I ask you again! WHO ARE YOU?!"

"I'm...your daughter." Matt's eyes went wide and gasped in shock when she said that. "Yours and Jackie Nightingale's."

Matt narrowed his eyes again when she mentioned Jackie's name. "LIAR! I haven't seen Jackie Nightingale in years! She blamed me for the accident the gave her her powers, Vladia told me so. We ran away here to escape her ghostly wraith!"

Dani suddenly realized in her head that, even though Vladia was completely human in this alternate timeline, the old woman was still a liar and that she was probably so obsessed with Matt, she has been controlling him more as an object more than her own husband, even brainwashing him into thinking that Jackie was evil and that she blamed Matt for the accident. Vladia really was a jealous fruitloop, with or without her powers.

"What?! That's a total lie!" Dani protested as she briefly narrowed her eyes. "She's still totally in love with you!"

"It's true, Matthew." Jackie's voice said when Dani and Matt both looked up and saw Jackie Nightingale herself phasing into the lab in her ghost form. "It's always been true."

Matt gasped at her unexpected arrival. "Jackie?!" He said as she landed in front of him while he gave her a look of sad confusion. "But...Vladia told me you never wanted to see me again."

Jackie approached him as she changed back into her human form. "I never stopped wanting to see you, Matt, I...I just couldn't face you as a thing you despise, a ghost. But I had to come, because of this." She then handed Matt Dani's purse, showing him their own family picture of the two of them together and that they had two children: a son and a daughter.

He shedded a tear of joy as he stared at the photo. "A family...with you?" Dani smiled at her parents' interaction until Mall pulled Jackie into a tight hug. "Oh, Jackie!" Jackie happily returned the hug as they smiled before they released each other and turned their attentions to Dani. "And that's why you called me Dad at the door!" Matt released her from her restraints as she sat up with a smile. "You must be our daughter from an alternate timeline!"

Jackie, Matt, and Dani all got into a warm family embrace. "The one good thing about having scientist parents, alternate timeline, totally valid excuse." Dani muttered to herself.

They released each other as Jackie pointed at the photo of James. "So, where's our alternate timeline son, Daisy?"

"It's Dani, with an 'I'."

Jackie shrugged a little. "That's still dumb."

Dani chuckled a little, kind of knowing where she got her name from. "That's a little complicated."

Matt typed on his computer on the files of ghosts in the Ghost Zone. "Chrona, right?" He asked his daughter as he pulled up a file about the ghost of time.

Dani looked mildly amazed. "Wow, you're good."

He then walked to his portal and activated it for his alternate daughter to go through. "You honestly didn't think I'd spend my nights coming up with cheese recipes, did you?"

"Oh, Matt, just think: in another universe, we have two kids to embarrass!" Jackie said to him happily and then turned her attention to Dani. "And a very special and gifted daughter." Dani smiled as she looked touched by her mother's words.

She was about to walk into the Ghost Zone, until she froze when she heard the doors being slid open. "Let's focus on what you're doing in universe, shall we?!" Vladia said angrily as she fried the Ecto-Foamer at Dani, who ducked her head in time before both of her parents gasped at Vladia's discovery of the lab. The old woman didn't look too pleased that her own husband has been secretly inventing ghost hunting weapons behind her back, even though she told him not to. "I knew this wasn't a carpet foamer! You've been experimenting again!"

"Vladia, i-it's not what you think!" Matt said nervously.

"No, Matthew, it's exactly what she thinks!" Jackie said with determination as she held him close to her protectively. "You and I are destined to be together and nothing will keep us apart any longer!" She changed into her ghost form as she glared at Vladia for controlling the man she was destined to marry like an object and brainwashing him by lying to him about Jackie.

"Nothing, except this!" Vladia retorted before she angrily fired her Ecto-Foamer at Jackie, sending her to the wall as she stuck onto it, a little dazed.

"Leave her alone!" Dani shouted before she flew into the air and fired her ghost beam at Vladia as she avoided it. She fired more foamer at the ghost girl while she evaded them and one ended up blasting at Matt, sending him crashing onto a console, dazed.

"Oh, sorry, honeypie, my bad."

"DAD!" Dani angrily fired another ghost beam at Vladia as she avoided it again.

"Don't you ever call him that again!" Vladia fired one last ecto-foamer blast at Dani, this time it hitted her dead on as she fell back onto the examination table while the billionairess woman restrained her again. "You have overstayed your welcome, now you're gonna have to leave...molecule by molecule!"

Vladia then began the machine and fired a tiny laser beam up to Dani's arm, not caring for her mercy and had no qualms on killing her. "NO! You don't understand, none of this should be happening!"

"You think I care? I LIKE IT THIS WAY!"

Jackie then roughly shoved Vladia away from Dani, who smiled up at her mother, as the obese half-ghost glared at her former friend angrily. "Get away from my daughter!" She exclaimed to her 'old friend' before she deactivated the laser.

Vladia glared angrily as she got back to her feet and roughly shoved her away. In pure jealousy, she brought out the laser gun and fired the tiny ray at Jackie and even though she brought up a ghost shield, the force was enough to send her across the lab when she crashed into the portal, causing it to beep an alarm. Jackie changed back to her human from as she groaned in weakness and Matt approached her after he recovered himself from Vladia's foamer attack.

"Jackie!" Matt said in worry as he kneeled before her and checked on her.

"It's alright, Matthew...just remember what could've been." Jackie groaned before she collapsed with a heavy groan.

Matt glared angrily at his 'wife', the woman who has been lying and using him while she even loved him more as a servant than a husband. Vladia only smirked that Jackie had collapsed as she approached to the man she loved, ignoring his glare.

"You...despicable...lying...piece of cheese! I WASTED THE BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE WITH YOU!" He exclaimed as he stood up to his feet and had his fists at his sides while he glared angrily at the woman whom he thought was the love of his life.

"Now, Matthew, I may be a lying piece of cheese...but I'm still your wife." Vladia said to him with a smirk, like all she really cared about was being his wife and nothing more than his love.

Her smile dropped when Matt angrily grabbed her by her jacket and lifted her high into the air. "Consider that an annulment: You were never worthy of the name Fenton!" Matt then threw his former wife straight into the Ghost Zone as Vladia shouted with a trembling yelp and hovered into the ghost dimension.

A couple of ghosts growled at her while she smiled nervously at the ectoplasmic beings before her. "Oh...hello! Have I mentioned how much I love ghosts?" The ghosts ignored her as they began to surround her as she shielded herself for the worst. "NOOOOOO!"

Matt noticed that the portal was beeping in alarm as he quickly released Dani from her restraints. "Quick, the portal's overloading! Go back in time! Make sure this never happens! Chrona will help!"

Dani luckily managed to fly through the ghost portal right before it exploded. She managed to find Chrona's Tower and pleaded for her help again to restart the timeline before she meddled.

"I will not help." She said as she glared at her.

"But...Sam, Tina...they…" Dani stuttered as she glanced at the time window when it showed Sam, Tina, and Vladia all getting weaker from the ecto-acne as it got worse.

"Need to be cured in the present, not the past." Chrona changed into a child as she showed her the image of her parents in the college days again. "I can reset time back to the way it was just before you meddled, but that's it."

Dani watched the time portal as he showed her the younger Jackie, Matt, and Vladia in the college days and replayed a scene before Dani meddled in the moment. "Jackie, did you remember to fill the filtrator with Ecto-Purifier?" Younger Matt asked.

"On it, baby!" Younger Jackie said.

Jackie grabbed the can of diet cola instead of the purifier and cluelessly emptied the entire can into the portal's filtrator. Dani suddenly realized that she has finally found the solution for the cure that would help save her friends (and her archenemy, who blackmailed her into helping by affecting her friends in the first place).

"That's it. THAT'S IT!" Dani exclaimed happily as she smiled before walked away while she left the tower to head back to the real world.

After she left, Chrona secretly smiled like she has been planning this all along, and she knew that the ghost girl certainly had a knack for trying to learn her lessons the hard way.


Back at Fenton Works, Sam, Tina, and Vladia were all looking a lot worse as they began to feel weaker and weaker when the ecto-acne began to overtake them and it would mean the end of their lives as well.

"Live, Vladia! LIVE!" Jackie exclaimed before she pounded on Vladia's chest and then glanced at Sam and Tina. "Oh, and you, too."

"You know what this means for us." Sam said weakly to Tina as James dabbed his forehead with a wet towel.

"No preps?" She groaned weakly.

"No fifteenth birthday party." Sam turned his head to James as he tried to stay awake. "When you see Dani...tell her…"

"Why don't you tell me yourself?" Dani asked him when she arrived back into the quarantine area inside her house, back in her human form as she smiled.

Matt gasped when he walked up to her with a hazmat suit. "Put on your protective gear! You don't want to catch the ecto-acne!" He said to his daughter with concern.

"Ah, yeah, about that...those ecto-impurities you couldn't identify...would they be consistent with, oh, say...diet cola?" Dani smiled cleverly at her father.

Matt scoffed as he waved his hand. "Don't be silly, that would…" He then checked on his reports and realized that his daughter was telling the truth and that she has found the cure. "Oh, my…"

Matt immediately went to work on mixing up a brand of some Ecto-Purifier as medicine and gave separate cups to her children. Matt gave one for Vladia to drink, Dani gave one for Sam and James gave the last one for Tina as they all gulped down their medicines. In only about a second, all of their bumps have disappeared as they began to regain their strengths, not that they were officially cured from the lethal disease of the ecto-acne.

"Vladia, you're cured!" Jackie exclaimed in relief.

"That's great, Jackie! Now would you please stop pounding on my chest?!" She shouted in annoyance before Jackie ceased punching her as Vladia glared at her in annoyance.

"Sorry, diet soda?" But luckily Jackie noticed that she accidentally picked up ecto-purifier instead when she wasn't looking.

"Dani, how did you know?" Matt asked his daughter proudly.

"There has to be some benefits of being the daughter of the two smartest ghost hunters on the planet." Dani said with her arms crossed as she smiled at her parents. They both smiled at her brightly before they left to go tear everything down.

Vladia sat up as she smirked evilly at her archenemy. "I knew you'd come through, Danielle. All it took was the proper motivation." She said as she glanced at Sam and Tina, who were both sitting up as they glanced back at her in confusion, but they were also deeply angry at her for almost killing them to blackmail their best friend into trying to help her. "Of course I'm still weak beyond measure, so...bygones?"

At that, Dani smirked at Vladia.

A few minutes later, Dani Phantom punched Vladia Plasmius away as she shouted and she flew her way out of Amity Park while she headed back to her home in Wisconsin. Dani dusted her hands in satisfaction while Sam and Tina stood beside her with his arms crossed and her smiling in the sky.

"Bygones." Dani said mostly to herself before she placed her hands on her hips as she smirked at where Vladia flew off to.

Later that night after Dani forced Vladia out of Amity Park, at the Material Grill restaurant, Jackie and Matt have changed back into their 80s clothes as the moonwalked on the dance floor and spun around as old music played.

"We finally got our 80s night out." Matt said as he and his wife continued to dance to the music while everyone watched them.

"You know, it's too bad Vladia had to fly back to Wisconsin so suddenly. She would've loved this place! Right, Dani?" Jackie asked her daughter.

"GNARLY!" Dani exclaimed as she jumped into the dance floor in her 80s clothes and moonwalked past James.

"If anyone asks, I was adopted." James said over the music as he frowned in embarrassment.

Dani leaned to her brother with a smile. "Let's just say I've come to terms with Mom and Dad's past. I wouldn't change it again, even if I could." Dani spun around and moonwalked along with her parents as everyone continued watching them.

"Forget the internet, this is going on pay-per-view!" Mikaela said as she held out her video camera and recorded the entire Fenton family (minus James) dancing together.
