Season 2 Episode 20
Reality Trip: Part 2
"Are We There Yet?"

Dani: Previously on Dani Phantom…

"It's summer! Starting at three thirty, I don't have to listen to anyone for a long, long time!" Dani Phantom exclaimed happily as she flew across Amity Park.

In the Amity Park Penitentiary, the Gals in White walked up to Freakshow in cuffs. "What do you want?" The ringmistress asked the agents bitterly.

"You're knowledge of ghostly items. Care to tell us about this?" Agent O asked as a bronze gauntlet emerged from the floor with three colored gems underneath.

Freakshow's eyes widened. "The Reality Gauntlet! The Gem of Life...the Gem of Form...and the Gem of Fantasy!" Freakshow slipped the gems into their proper slots. "If touched in the proper sequence, will allow the wearer to control all reality!" She slipped the power source gem into the slot and trapped the agents with their own weapons before she released Landu from his animation chamber. "If you'll excuse us."

The final bell at Casper High rung as the students rushed out of the school for summer as they cheered.

"Finally! I've been looking forward to this summer vacation forever!" Dani Fenton said happily to her friends, Sam Manson and Tina Foley, as they walked away from the school.

Suddenly, Landu began to attack as his bats nabbed Sam and Tina and held them hostage at a train station as Freakshow towered over the teens, grinning wickedly at them. "FREAKSHOW!" They exclaimed in unison.

"How's tricks? Had a nice few months while I was rotting in jail, because of you?!" Freakshow snapped until she got blasted away by Dani.

"I've been working on my aim!" Dani retorted before Freakshow made the fence below her come alive as it trapped her.

"And so have I. Say hello to the Reality Gauntlet! Look's like our showdown is going to require a bigger audience!"

At the concert, Sam read from his book about the gauntlet. "The Reality Gauntlet consists of four gems which-" He read out loud.

"Dani, you might wanna take a look at this book, especially the author." Tina said to her friend.

Dani took the book and examined the author's name. "'Frelicia Malak Showenhower'?" She asked before Sam folded the page and revealed her anagramic nickname. "Freakshow!"

Freakshow suddenly appeared on stage with a wicked grin. "Are you kids ready to have a great summer? Because Dumpty Humpty had a great fall!" She announced.

"Will this vacation ever start?!"

Dani, Sam, and Tina all concentrated as they made their respected gems disappear from the gauntlet's slot. "The gauntlet has a defense mechanism, think of a place to hide the gem you're holding!" Sam said to his friends.

There was an explosion as Sam and Tina crashed onto the stage and so did Dani, but then she changed back to human form. She gasped when she forgot she was standing in front of everyone in bright light as the audience gasped in shock and her secret was exposed live on TV and even the Gals in White saw the whole thing.

"Dani Fenturd is...DANI PHANTURD?!" Daph Baxter exclaimed in total shock.

Dani, Sam, and Tina managed to escape from the concert to Fentons Works, only to get ambushed by the Gals in White and their armored agents. "You're coming in for questioning." Agent K said.

"And experiments...lots and lots of really painful experiments." Agent O said.

But luckily Dani used the house's Anti-Creep Mode so she and her friends could make it up to the OP Center and transformed it into a jet, but the Gals in White managed to plant a tracking device as it turned invisible before it flew out of Amity Park.

Freakshow suddenly appeared as she revealed that she captured the trio's families and held them hostage.

"Mom! Dad!" Dani exclaimed.

"I have you want and you know the location of something I want. Bring me the gems if you ever want to see your families alive again! You have three days." Freakshow ordered the trio before the screen powered off.

"We're the ones who hid the gems." Sam reminded his friends.

"Looks like we're gonna get that cross country trip after all." Tina said as they approached the Cape Canaveral Space Center.

"The gems are activated by touch, maybe this will be easy." A boy found the Gem of Life, but ended up activating it as it brought the space shuttle to life while it approached the Fenton Jet with its mouth wide open. "It's never easy, is it?"


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)


Dani, Sam, and Tina all shouted in fear as the Fenton Jet made a sharp turn to fly away from the living space shuttle and it chopped it's jaws on it, making the trio tumble backwards from the sudden tilt.

"Going ghost!" Dani shouted as she glared determinedly.

She stood to her feet and changed into her ghost form before she placed her hands on the ceiling and made the entire jet intangible, making it slip out of the shuttle's mouth. She then turned it solid again and phased out of the jet to face off against the monstrous shuttle. Dani fired a couple ghost beams, did no apparent effect as it roared and slammed her on its windshield. She looked through and smiled when she found the Gem of Life on the seat. Her smile dropped when the shuttle flinged her off itself, sending her shouting as she plummeted to the ground, making a large crater.

As she pulled herself out of the crater, the Fenton Jet landed nearby as Sam pulled out the jet's bullhorn. "Dani, go! Get the gem!" He announced to her.

Dani immediately flew back into action as she grabbed onto the shuttle's fin, making it roar as it rocketed itself faster in the air. She groaned and strained while she tried to pulled herself forward until she grabbed hold on the shuttle's armor skin, but managed to rip some of it off from the sonic speed, showing that she was strong enough to rip some reinforced titanium.

"I always wanted to ride on a space shuttle, just NOT ON THE OUTSIDE!" Dani exclaimed until she finally managed to fly up to the shuttle's windshield again. She phased her upper half inside as she grabbed the Gem of Life and held it up in victory. "YES!"

Unfortunately, the power of the gem lost its touch on the shuttle as it returned to normal. With no one controlling it, the entire spaceship plummeted towards the ground and was about to crash on top of the Fenton Jet with Sam and Tina aboard.

"We had to come here first!" Tina exclaimed in exasperation with a frown.

Dani quickly phased into the shuttle and sat on the pilot's seat as she examined all the complex buttons and switches on the console. "Okay, Dani, you've run this simulation a million times on your computer. You can do this."

Dani said to herself before she began to press and flip numerous buttons she memorize by heart before she began pulling on the tilter, desperately trying to avoid crashing the shuttle on top of the Fenton Jet with her friends aboard. Sam and Tina hugged each other as they braced for impact, until the shuttle skimmed over the jet, missing it narrowly by an inch before it landed on the runway. Dani deployed the parachutes and it braked into a stop and she stopped pulling on the tilter as she breathed deeply in relief. She then smiled at her accomplishment and even for the fact that those times in the computer simulation really did come in handy.

Dani phased out of the jet and dusted her hands. "Ladies and gentlemen, the eagle has landed, in tacked!" Dani announced, feeling proud of herself.

"Attention Danielle Fenton aka Dani Phantom, give yourself up!" Dani heard the voice of the Gals in White announce, making her smiled drop as she turned and saw them in their jets, surprised that they have found her, still with the desire to capture and destroy her.

They fired missiles at the Fenton Jet, making Sam and Tina yelp as they ran to the back of the jet, and the missiles destroyed the entire jet. Dani gasped when she thought that the agents of killed her friends, but as a miracle, Sam and Tina jumped out of the smoke on a couple of Fenton ATV's and they have even managed to gather enough needs before the Gals in White destroyed their way of transportation. Dani sighed in relief, but gasped when the Gals in White looped back around and fired more missiles at Sam and Tina, alarming them as they revved their ATVs and drove out of the way.

"ARE YOU PEOPLE THAT ZEALOUS?!" Sam exclaimed rhetorically about the Gals in White as he drove away from their missile attacks. Dani quickly flew in between her friends as she turned them all intangible and phased them and their ATVs through the ground as they avoided two missiles.

"We've lost visual...AGAIN!" Agent O exclaimed.

"Don't worry, they won't get far, we've got sensors everywhere." Agent K said before they flew to the air to continue their search for the wanted trio.

All around the entire country of America, people, authorities, medias, and scientists were in a desperate search for Dani Fenton (aka Dani Phantom), whom they recently discovered was a half-human, half-ghost hybrid; a very rare species no one thought could even exist. Everyone became restless on capturing her in hopes of answers like how she became this way, how she managed to stay in the dark for so long, and how very useful her incredible power could be, but useful for their own personal reasons. Of course, the one thing that Dani feared the most as much as losing all of her loved ones was being dissected like a guinea pig.

Out in the outskirts of Florida, police officers have blocked roads as they kept a constant lookout for the ghost girl and her best friends, who they have learned escaped from Amity Park and were now on the run across the country. "All units, be on the lookout for the ghost girl and her accomplices. I repeat: all units, be on the lookout for the ghost girl and her accomplices." The police scanner announced to the policemen.

Luckily, Dani phased herself and her friends several miles away from the roadblock far enough away as the sun began to dusk in the distance. They were even far away so they couldn't be seen or heard from the police.

Dani pulled out the Gem of Life from her belt and held up her Fenton Thermos. "Let's put you somewhere where your ghostly energy can't get out." Dani said before she placed their first gem into the thermos. "One Reality Gem found, two to go, and only thirty-six hours to find it."

"We'll never make it across the country in time on these things!" Sam scoffed as he gestured his eyes to the ATVs. However, Dani hovered up to his vehicle and pressed a button. The ATV suddenly shook before its wheels turned sideways and became a hovering vehicle.

"And now we will. Shall we?" Tina turned her ATV into a hovering vehicle before the three of them took off into the sky together as they made their long way to Gothapalooza in the Nevada Desert.

Around that night, the trio decided to stop when they reached the border of Texas so they could have a quick meal before setting themselves up for a nice camping spot for the night. Of course, thanks to Tina being the meat-lover, their quick meal was cut short as she pigged out slowly.

"Can you hurry it up, Tina? We're on a deadline, emphasis on 'dead'!" Sam said with his arms crossed while Dani (in her human form) drank her soda as Tina threw a bone into a bowl.

"We have to eat, Sam, and I'm a meat connoisseur in a land of barbecue and bacon fat." Tina said as she held up a large chicken, but before she could bite out of it, the news suddenly came on.

"A nationwide search continues for this ghost-powered teenager." Lena Thunder announced on TV, making the trio gasp as they looked up at the screen. The news showed a video footage of Dani changing from ghost to human form. "If you have any information, please contact local authorities."

The waiter, the cashier, and the customer glanced at the trio before they all immediately took out their phones to dial in the police.

"Ah...sorry about this." Dani said before she fired tiny ghost beams from her fingertips, destroying their phones to prevent them from ratting them out.

"Hey, I still had minutes left!" The old woman exclaimed.

"You gotta watch those roaming charges." The trio left the restaurant and went back to the sky on their ATVs so they could find a nice spot to spend the night.

"But Thursday's all you can eat night!" Tina complained as Dani drove her ATV in her human form, so she could save up her ghost energy.

"Not if we're in jail! We're trying to save our parents, remember? Wherever they are. But first, let's find a safe spot to camp for the night." Unknown to Tina, one of Landu's tattoo bats popped from her back, signalling Freakshow was still tracking them as they traveled cross country.

The trio have finally found a nice safe spot to camp for the night, somewhere in a wide open spot near a cliff and there was enough trees for them to find and start a campfire. Tina and Sam gathered as many branches and wood as they could spare, while Dani started up a campfire with her ghost beam. They brought out individual sleeping bags and sat down around their campfire as Tina roasted a marshmallow on a stick.

Despite everything that has been happening to them recently, they couldn't help but enjoy actually camping out, alone together. Sam was laying back on his log while Dani and Tina sat on top of theirs, but even though Dani enjoyed being with her friends, she still looked ashamed of herself by how she lost almost everything after that one screw up. There were many reasons why she wanted to keep her half-ghost status a secret: she was afraid no one would accept her, she didn't want to be dissected for personal scientific answers, and she also didn't want her friends and family getting hurt and/or hunted down along with her (which, after that day, has proven to be true after all).

"Ah, camping…" Tina sighed as she roasted her marshmallow over the campfire. "You gotta love it."

"Okay, I'll admit, it's really relaxing to at least take a break from being on the run and having a little fun before getting serious again." Sam admitted as he dug through his marshmallow bag.

He tossed Dani one as she merely toasted it with her ecto-energy when she caught it without even looking and chewed on it, but she looked very distracted. Sam and Tina didn't need to ask her, because they already knew what was on her mind, but they were very concerned for her when they exchanged pitiful glances.

After several minutes of roasting a few marshmallows, the trio fell asleep on their sleeping bags and dozed off. Dani, however, remained awake as she gazed up at the starry sky before she saw a shooting star fly across the beautiful night sky. Dani then sat up and glanced at her friends. Tina was snoring and sleeping like a log while Sam was sleeping on his side with his back towards her. She sighed sadly and stood up from her bag before she walked away, unaware that Sam woke up and noticed as he looked over his shoulder. She sat miserably on a rock at the edge of the cliff and stared at the view and the beautiful horizon, thinking about her family. Dani's eyes began leaking tears as she sniffed and wiped her face with her arm. She wasn't just afraid that her parents would never accept her, but she never wanted her folks to learn the truth like that.

Sam walked up to her before he placed his hand on her shoulder, catching her attention. He sat next to her while she looked down as he smiled pitifully before he held her close to him and they both stared out in the distance.

"I never wanted my parents to learn the truth...not this way." Dani said sadly.

"I can tell you're feeling nervous about seeing them again, now that they know what you really are. They may be ghost hunters and you may be a ghost yourself, but you're still their daughter." Sam looked at Dani as he held her by her shoulders softly and managed a smile. "Dani, your powers not only make you unique, but they also make you special in a way everyone else would dream of, and your parents will see that, just like how Tina and I have the first moment you walked into that ghost portal. We haven't lost everything, Dani, let's just find the gems, find our parents, defeat Freakshow, and get everything back to normal."

Dani began to smile slowly while she blushed as Sam continued. "You're not just a girl with a secret, you're a heroine with two lives you keep balanced no matter the stress. You've always been a heroine, before and after the accident. Now let's get some rest, we need it."

Sam and Dani stared out in the sky as more shooting stars flew across the sky.


Elsewhere in a hidden fields, the Mansons, the Foleys, and the Fentons all remained in their train cages since they couldn't sleep, fearing what Freakshow was going to do to them.

Jessica crawled to Maria. "This is Fenton's fault, pass it down." She said somewhat rudely.

Maria crawled over to Jackie. "This is Fenton's fault, pass it down." She said calmly.

"This is...WAIT A MINUTE!" Jackie shouted angrily and offendedly until Matt placed a comforting hand on his wife's shoulder.

"Settle down now, Jackie, it's alright. This whole business about Dani being the ghost girl has got me just as confused and baffled as you." Matt said as he looked down.

"Imagine, our own daughter has had ghost powers all this time and has kept them a secret from us...but we love her! I wonder why she didn't trust us enough to tell us."

"Hmm, let me guess…" James said sarcastically like it should have been obvious before he mimicked his parents. "'Hey, Matthew, let's destroy the ghost!' 'No, Jackie, let's dissect the ghost.' 'I know, let's catch the ghost and rip it apart molecule by molecule!'" He then he gave his clueless folks a dubious look as he crossed his arms and cocked an eyebrow. "You guys are so understanding."

Jackie and Matt both processed their son's words before they looked down in regret and guilt. All this time, they have been so caught up on destroying and dissecting ghosts and even expressing their desire to tearing Dani Phantom apart molecule by molecule, that they have been unknowingly been scaring their own youngest daughter most of the time. They began to understand why she didn't tell them before, since it was a really good reason because they were ghost hunters.

"Your beloved children have but two days to return my Reality Gems." Freakshow said with a wicked smile as she walked up to the Fentons, making the glare angrily at the evil ringmistress. "Should they fail...well, let's just say I've got plans."

"So, in other words, we're just gonna sit around until you get your gems? You're not much of a bad guy, are you?" James asked Freakshow with an unimpressed frown while he placed his fists on his waist.

Freakshow narrowed her eyes in somewhat offended confusion. "What's that?"

"Well, you don't have any powers. I mean, technically Landu's a lot stronger than you, and without him…"

Freakshow began to throw a temper tantrum when she stomped around. "I WILL NOT...BE UPSTAGED...BY GHOSTS!" Her eye twitched at the thought before her jaw suddenly cracked, making her yelp as she rubbed her chin. She still hasn't really healed from Dani's staff swing to the jaw earlier before things really went down.

"Wow, jealous much?" James looked amused by this when he smiled along with his father and they both crossed their arms.

"Of ghosts? Untrue. I love ghosts, I've worked with them all my life."

"By seeking to control them! That's ghost envy if I've ever seen it."

Freakshow went to his face aggressively. "I DON'T HAVE GHOST ENVY!" She glanced when she saw Landu phasing out of the train and landed on the ground, making his mistress even more annoyed. "Use the door like a person!"

Landu only stared at her nonplussed, slightly confused by her harsh outburst.


The next day after Dani, Sam, and Tina woke up, refreshed and energized from their little night delay, they continued down the country as Dani flew between her friends until they finally made it to Gothapalooza as the sun began to dusk. "Gothapalooza! The ultimate celebration of despair and darkness!" Sam said, sounding excited.

They all suddenly gasped in shock when they finally arrived, but what they saw before them was the complete opposite of despair and darkness: it was all happiness and sunshine. There were living, colorful teddy bears, laughing and bouncing around while they threw flowers into the air. The trios' jaws dropped at this sight as they landed on a hill, and they probably realized a goth has probably found the Gem of Form and transformed the entire Gothapalooza into a world of laughter and fun.

"WE LOVE YOU!" The teddy bears all said in unison before they leaped to them and hugged them all.

"Destroy them, Dani! Find the gem that did this, AND RIP THE STUFFING OUT OF EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM!" Sam shouted in full-on fury as he ripped the bears off him and teared their heads off, only to get tackled playfully by more.

Dani hovered in the air as a couple of bears hugged her. "Somehow, I don't think that would be necessary. May I have the Gem of Form?" Dani asked the bears politely.

"Say the magic word." They all said together as Tina tried to shake one off her arm while Sam angrily threw them across the crowd.

"Die?" Sam said sarcastically.

"Please?" Dani asked kindly.

The bears parted as they revealed one of them holding up the Gem of Form, completely safe and unharmed. Dani took the gem and was about to drop it into her thermos, until she quickly used it to change the happy bears into dark goths again and changed Gothapalooza back to normal. Sam found himself being hugged by two gothic girls before he sighed in relief and wrapped his around their necks. "I love the smell of anti-establishment in the evening." He said.

"Two gems down, one to go, and less than twenty-four hours to find it." Dani said as she placed the gem into the Fenton Thermos. Now, there was only left one more Reality Gem left to find in there little cross country scavenger hunt.

Dani gasped when she saw the goths running and screaming as a huge white tank rode up a hill. It fired a missile at Dani, who leaned aside as it exploded by a giant rock behind her instead. She glared when she realized that the Gals in White have found them again before they fired another missile. Dani quickly grabbed her friends and phased them through the rock and out of the agents' sights again. Agents O and K pounded their fists down in frustration that the ghost girl and her friends got away once again. On the other side of the rock, Dani found a truck heading to California before she phased them into the back.

Inside, there were stacks of newspapers. "What's this?" Dani wondered as she picked one up and examined it until she found out what it was. "Oh, that's just swell." Dani showed her friends the main newspaper article, 'Ghost kid and friends still missing!' and it showed all of their pictures, revealing that everyone was still looking for them.

They then decided to get another sleep for the night as the truck made its way to their final destination to find the last gem and save their families.


Back at Freakshow's hideout fields, the families were drifted to sleep, save for James who remained awake as he wrote on his notepad. Since he discovered the ringmistress holding them hostage indeed had ghost envy, he used this opportunity to write down everything how Freakshow felt as she paced around angrily and talked mostly to herself.

"Ghosts! Ghosts! Ghosts! You have no idea what it's like to live in the shadow of ghosts all your life." Freakshow said.

"Ghost, GHOST!" Jackie snorted in her sleep.

"Oh...I think I have some idea." James said as he continued to write down his notes.

"My parents loved ghosts more than me, my audience loves ghosts more than me, and deep down I think...I love ghosts more than me." Freakshow admitted as she glanced at James.

"Tell me about it."

"Sometimes I wish I was a ghost." James and Freakshow said in unison, making them glance at each other.

"You really do understand me, don't you, child?" Freakshow asked James hopefully as she smiled a little.

James glanced at his parents as they slept. "Ghosts ghosts ghosts ghosts ghosts…" Jackie muttered verbally in her sleep.

James then made a knowing look at the evil ringmistress. "More than you know." He said simply.


The next day, the truck with Dani, Sam, and Tina inside finally arrived at Hollywood as Dani phased herself and her friends out of the truck before the vehicle departed. Dani gasped when she saw the screens around the city showing her shifting back to human and ghost form, and then found themselves in a paparazzi as they took multiple snap pictures of Dani, Sam, and Tina. Dani couldn't handle all the attention and risking their safety, so she phased through the ground with her friends as they landed in the subway, searching for the train heading to San Diego.

"Okay, we just need to find the train heading to the comic book convention without drawing any attention." Dani said to her friends.

"Girl, awesome costume!" A girl cosplaying Dani Phantom said to her, unaware that she was actually talking to the real ghost heroine, before she ran to the train with a Sci-fi/Fantasy Convention banner.

"I think we found our train." Tina said as they lined up for the train. She suddenly noticed that most of the cosplayers were dressed up like Dani Phantom and Sam, but no one dressed up like Tina, much to her great dismay. "What?! No Tina's?! Am I not geek worthy?!"

Sam and Dani smiled behind her back at her annoyed dismay, but they were unaware that the Gals in White have found them once again. "Over there!" Agent K said when she pointed downward.

"Okay, spook girl, it's over." Agent O said as she touched 'Dani' on her shoulder.

"Paws off! You know how long it took me to make this suit costume handmade?" The cosplayer dressed as Dani snapped at the agents.

They both glanced to the train and found the real Dani Phantom with Sam and Tina as they waved childishly and smiled before the train departed. "Train's leaving!" Agent K exclaimed.

"We know where it's heading." Agent O said before they ran off to find another way to follow them.

A few hours later, the trio finally arrived at San Diego and made it to the Comic Book Convention where they would find the last gem and save their families.

Tina was still pretty mad and annoyed that no one was dressed up like her. "Still no Tina's, a crying shame. I even come with gadgets!" She said as she pulled out some of her tech from her pockets.

Dani and Sam glanced around the parking lot, ignoring Tina's complainings, and they noticed that everything still looked pretty peaceful for now. "Everything still looks normal." Dani said until a skinny, mini woman walked past them, making Dani gawk at her in confusion.

"Compared to what?" Sam asked sarcastically as he crossed his arms.

"Well, you know what I mean. I don't think anybody's triggered the Gem of Fantasy yet."

Dani, Sam, and Tina all entered the convention center while from a few feet away, an obese girl dressed as an ice monster (Crystal Quartz), a skinny girl dressed as a red samurai (Scarlet Samurai) and a geek boy dressed as a wolf warrior (Emperor He-Wolf) watched as their obese friend held up the Gem of Fantasy into the air.

"Behold, the Crystal Quartz's life-sustaining clentonian gem!" She announced.

"Wow, where did you find that?" The samurai cosplay asked in amazement as they gazed at the gem.

"Let me see! Let me see!" The wolf warrior cosplayer said eagerly as he took the gem. Suddenly, it began to shine brightly as it burned his hands. "OW!"

He quickly tossed it to the samurai cosplay as she immediately tossed it while it burnt her own hands as well. "AH! HOT!"

She finally tossed it to the obese ice monster cosplayer before the Gem of Fantasy then flashed brightly as they shielded themselves. They all began changing as they each turned into a real ice monster, Crystal Quartz, a real samurai, Scarlet Samurai, and a real wolf warrior, Emperor He-Wolf, and they all hovered in the air as everyone gawked at them in surprise.

"Awesome! The Gem of Fantasy turned three regular nerds into superheroes! They can help us rescue our parents!" Dani said excitedly, but Tina, however, wasn't very optimistic as her.

"You need to read more comic books, girl. Those aren't superheroes, they're supervillains!" Tina exclaimed, making Dani's smile drop before she glanced back up at them.

The villains then bared their weapons and powers as they began to attack the convention, making everyone shout in fear. Scarlet Samurai unsheathed her sword and blasted a beam at the trio, who scattered out of the way to avoid it.

"I gotta get that gem before these geeks do some real damage!" Dani said to herself.

She fired a ghost beam at Crystal Quartz's hand and blasted the Gem of Fantasy out of her grip as it landed on the ground. She then tried to grab it, but the ice monster rolled in and grabbed hold of her before she roared and threw her across the convention. The two nerds at a Dani Phantom stand shouted and ran out of the way before Dani crashed into it as a book landed on her face.

She picked it up and examined it until her eyes went wide when she realized what it was. "Hey! I've never approved of this!" She exclaimed.

Sam and Tina then tried to run for the Gem of Fantasy as well, only to get blocked off by the warrior wolf. "You shall not pass, so speaks Emperor He-Wolf!" He growled at them.

"That might be the hottest geek I've ever glanced at." Tina admitted to Sam, until the wolf warrior shifted into a real werewolf and growled at them.

"Yeah, how about now?" Sam asked sarcastically.

"Yeah, still hot."

Dani quickly shove the wolf warrior aside before he could even attack her friends. He-Wolf shifted back, looking a little disoriented until Dani heard all the nerds screaming and running away in fear as Crystal Quartz pounded her fists on the ground hard. Dani then phased through the ceiling as the trio of villains followed suit. Emperor He-Wolf growled as he threw a grappling hook and it grabbed Dani by her ankle while he sent her crashing onto the roof. While Dani recovered, she noticed that Quartz was about to crush on top of her as she rolled out of the way. She quickly grabbed her by her pants and dragged her into the air as she shouted before she wrapped her up at a flagpole.

"Now, to finish off the rest of the legion of super dweebs." Dani said to herself as she activated her Boo-staff.

She charged at Scarlet Samurai as they collided their sword and staff. They began doing a mid-air swordplay as they exchanged blows at each other until Dani flipped and transferred her ecto-energy into her staff as it glowed before she swung it, sending a wave of energy, and the samurai did the same thing as well, which made both of them slam onto the roof when their energy waves collided.

They looked up and saw the Gals in White as they landed on the roof with their jetpacks, both looking exhausted from their longest ghost chase they have ever done. "Man...these cross country ghost chases are like...totally exhausting." Agent O said between pants before they fired their net guns at Dani and the samurai, trapping them both in blue nets.

The agents then hovered in the air and fired nets at Emperor He-Wolf and Crystal Quartz (who broke free from the flagpole), who both dodged and charged at them. Scarlet Samurai sliced free from her net before she jumped into the air as she sliced the agent's jetpacks, sending them flying out of control while they shouted and tumbled onto the roof.

Dani broke free from her net as she shouted. "Not so fast!" She exclaimed to the villains before she charged towards them.

The Gals in White suddenly fired their ecto-guns directly at the villains as they dropped the Gem of Fantasy, which Dani managed to catch on her hands. The trio of villains fell from the air and crashed onto the roof as smoke cleared, revealing that the nerds have returned to normal, looking dizzy like they couldn't remember anything.

"Hey! You're just geeks!" Agent K exclaimed.

"Technically, we're...enthusiasts." The samurai cosplayer corrected wearily.

Dani rejoined with Sam and Tina back at the convention, with their mission finally accomplished now that they have found all three Reality Gems. Now all they had to do was find Freakshow's hideout, save all of their families, take the gauntlet, and use it to change everything back to normal so that nobody could remember Dani's secret and the trio can finally enjoy their summer together.

"Nice work, Dani. We've got all three gems now." Sam said as he smiled at her accomplishment.

"And Freakshow only has one! Which means we can beat him and get the gauntlet!" Dani said confidently.

Unaware to the trio, Landu appeared a few feet away from them as he retracted his bat tattoos and then sent the rest of his tattoos to surround the teens, but only Sam seemed to notice since his smile dropped. "Uh...girls?"

"We can rescue our parents!" Tina said happily.

"And everyone won't remember my secret!" Dani added.

The girls finally noticed the tattoos surrounding them until they suddenly wrapped around them as they shouted and disappeared from the convention. They all got teleported and ended up at Freakshow's hideout as the tattoos they appeared at the fields, and they collapsed to the their knees in pain while Landu retracted his tattoos.

Freakshow then approached to the trio with a wide grin as Dani looked up to her. "Well, well, look what the bats dragged in...with my Reality Gems!" She said as she rubbed her hands together with anticipation.

Dani glanced at her thermos that were currently holding the gems before she glared and stood to her feet as she tightened up the lid. "I don't think so!" She said until Landu's tattoos flew in and dragged the thermos out of her hands before they gave it to Freakshow, who smiled even wickedly. "Uh oh."

Before she could do anything, Landu's tattoos wrapped around her, Sam, and Tina together, binding them to prevent the trio from stopping Freakshow. She poured all the Reality Gems out of the thermos and tossed the device aside before she placed them in their proper slots with the gauntlet.

"The Gem of Life, the Gem of Form, the Gem of Fantasy, and put them with the power source and...thanks to you, I now know how to activate the gauntlet!" Freakshow said before she laughed and began to press in the combination, the one that the trio unknowingly discovered during her attack on their concert night before they hid the gems across the country.

"DANI, STOP HER!" Sam exclaimed.

Dani struggled against the tattoos, wanting to stop Freakshow, but they were too strong for her to break out of. "I can't...break...free!" She shouted as she strained.

Freakshow finally finished putting in the combination when she now wore a red ringmistress' suit with a scepter with a red crystal on her hand. "Thanks to you, I am now ringmistress of all reality!" She announced to the heavens before with a wave of her hand, the bright sunny day became a eerie starry night. "Neato, huh?" She snickered as she glanced to the families in their cages.

"Let them go, Freakshow! I brought you the gems, we had a deal!" Dani exclaimed as she glared at her.

"The deal was: bring me the gems if you want to see them alive again. Well, here they are, alive...for now!"

Freakshow laughed mechanically before she made them all disappeared from their cages and then she turned while she clenched her fist when Sam and Tina disappeared as well. They all appeared on a roller coaster car as they looked down and saw a giant roller coaster course that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There was a jack-in-the-box as it spewed fire every time it popped out of the box that would surely incinerate them, two giant stones opening closing that will likely crush the riders, and at the end of the track was a broken end with a pool of deadly acid. Landu switched the coaster on before everyone shouted as they plummeted from the drop and to their doom.

Dani glared at the double-crossing ringmistress again. "You lied to me!"

"Yes, yes, I did, goody for me. Although it wouldn't be drama if I didn't give you a sporting chance." She made the tattoo binds holding Dani disappear as she looked down at herself. "And an audience...A BIG AUDIENCE!" Dani glanced around and saw a large crowd of clowns, laughing and cackling and TV screens showing her as they cheered and laughed for Freakshow. Dani turned and saw her family, friends, and their families shouting from a loop-de-loop and not wanting to waste anymore time, Dani immediately flew into action as Freakshow shifted her scepter into a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, freaks of all ages! May I direct your attention to the star centering, where Dani Phantom aka Dani Fenton, will attempt to rescue her friends and family from the ghastly doom of my own construction!"

As soon as Dani landed on the tracks, Freakshow suddenly changed her into some orange gelatin and became immobilized. "Hey, what did you do-OH BOY!" The coaster car came riding straight at her and splattered her on impact, sending the goo pouring down to the ground.

"Only to be stopped by the mistress of all reality!" Freakshow bowed and tipped her hat at her little 'act'.

"Dani!" Sam exclaimed as he looked down at the goo.

"It...can't be!" Tina cried in disbelief.

"NO!" Jackie shouted.

"Danielle! NOOOOOOOOO!" Matt shouted as he tried to reach out, but Jackie held onto him and pulled him in a tight embrace as they both cried for the supposed loss of their only daughter.

"What's that? You want more?" Freakshow asked her audience, making them cheer and laugh louder. "Very well, I'll give you more! MUCH MORE!"

She laughed to the heavens as she fired a red beam to the air and sent a large amount of power pulsing across the country and began to change it into her vision. Tractors were turned into clown cars, farms were changed into circus tents, Mount Rushmore was changed to Freakshow's funny faces, the Golden Gate Bridge transformed into a loop-de-loop roller coaster styled bridge, and the White House became a circus tent while the Washington Monument became a circus drop tower ride.

"THERE! A kingdom fit for a freak, and a freakdom fit for a queen!" The mad reality-controlling woman exclaimed.

As the coaster continued riding down with everyone shouting for their lives, the puddle of goo suddenly reformed and merged back into Dani, who looked a little disoriented, but she was still well, alive and back to normal. She gasped when she remembered that her friends and family were still in danger and were about to be burnt alive as they rode towards the Jack-in-the-box. Just when the head was about to spew fire on the riders, Dani quickly flew in as she side-flipped and formed a green ghost shield, protecting everyone from being toasted alive.

"DANI!" James exclaimed happily.

"She's alive!" Jackie shouted in relief as the coaster rode by.

"She has ghost envy! USE PSYCHOLOGY!"

"Psychology?" Dani asked herself in confusion, until she smiled when she realized her brother has given her an idea for an advantage. "That's it!"

After she blasted the Jack-in-the-box and destroyed it, she continued to fly next to the coaster car as it headed straight for the clashing stones, making the riders scream loudly. Dani quickly fired an ecto ball and blasted the stones to tumble while the roller coaster continued on.

"Oh no, you do not get to leave this world with a smile." Freakshow said solemnly from behind her, now suddenly gigantic as she glared at her.

Freakshow then attempted to grab and punch Dani out of the air, but she continued evading her every blows, and she used this opportunity to make her jealous, like James told her. "Why wouldn't I smile? So what if you're the most powerful human on Earth?" Dani retorted before the ringmistress clapped her hands to crush her, but she merely phased out of her hands as she smiled mockingly at her. "No matter what you do, I'm half-ghost and uh, you're not!"

"I am the mistress of all reality." Freakshow then fired a red beam from her gauntlet.

"Oh sure, but can you do this?" Dani elongated and manipulated her legs as she avoided his beam before she flew off.

The crowd of clowns began to cheer for Dani, making Freakshow surprised and angry at the same time. "WHAT?! NO! She's not the star of this circus! I AM! ME!"

Dani began to spin in the air and showed off her powers to make her even more jealous. "Ghost powers!" She turned invisible and visible again a few feet away. "Ghost energy! Ghost, ghost, GHOST!" She began to throw a few ecto disks at Freakshow's hat and made a smiley face, making her confused.

Dani waved down at the crowd as they continued to cheer for her, greatly angering Freakshow even more as her envy grew. "I WILL NOT...BE UPSTAGED...BY A GHOST!"

The crowd then began booing at the ringmistress when they threw their food and drinks at her while Dani joined them. "Ah, half-ghost, technically, but still way cooler than you!"

"ENOUGH!" Freakshow finally managed to swatted Dani out of the air before she crashed to the ground hard. She looked up wearily at the ringmistress as she kneeled down to her. "I may be losing control of the crowd, but I control all reality." Dani weakly tried to get up as she groaned in pain, but then gasped when she saw the Fenton Thermos within her arm's reach before she glanced back up at a jealous Freakshow. "And if you think being a half-ghost is so cool…" She then used the power of the Reality Gems to change herself into a giant, four-armed, bat-winged ghost with sharp fangs and a cape. "What do you think of me, now that I'm all ghost?!" She then roared into the air.

However, that was exactly what Dani was hoping he would do when she grinned cleverly. "I think this just got a lot easier." She grabbed her Fenton Thermos before she fired it at Freakshow and it began to suck her inside.

"What?! No! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Freakshow shouted until she was completely sucked into the thermos while the Reality Gauntlet flipped out of her hand and it shrunk back to normal size before it landed on the ground.

Dani recapped the thermos and smirked at his defeat. "Sucker."

She heard everyone screaming and remembered that her friends and family were about to fall into the pool of acid. She gasped as she glanced at the Reality Gauntlet in front of her before she ran to grab it and she flew into the air. She slipped it onto her arm as everyone shot into the air and were about to fall into the acid, but Dani quickly fired a yellow beam at the acid pool and transformed it into a pool of regular water as the coaster car splashed into the water. Everyone emerged from the water, all completely safe and unharmed as Dani landed on the edge of the pool.

"Are you guys okay?" Dani asked her friends until she noticed their families. "Oh, hi Mr. and Mrs. Manson, Mr. and Mrs. Foley." Suddenly, Landu shouted angrily as he formed a wave of his tattoos to attack Dani, but she merely turned around and smirked before she made the gauntlet glow yellow. "And as for you…"

Landu was changed into a fish, an apple, a mallet, and a teddy bear before he changed back to normal. He gave Dani a frightened face before he flew away, screaming. Dani then flew to the center of the entire area and fired a beam of red power as she changed everything the way it was before Freakshow changed it all into a circus-related world. The roller coaster of deadly doom and the audience of clowns disappeared as the starry night sky changed back into a sunny afternoon. Dani landed on the ground, stared down at the Reality Gauntlet, and changed back to her human form with yet another great victory.

"Dani!" Jackie said, making Dani gasped and turned around. She saw her parents approaching her with displeasing looks on their faces.

"Young lady…" Matt said sternly and slowly as they scowled at her.

Dani already knew what it was about when she looked down in guilt and regret. "I-I'm so sorry, I wanted to tell you guys, but-" She began to explain sadly, but then suddenly got a huge bear hug from her mother, all the sudden happy as she smiled at her.

"We're very proud of you, kid!" Jackie said proudly to her daughter.

After Jackie released her, Matt then gave her a big hug and held her close. "Oh, my baby girl!" He cooed, happy that she was okay before he gave her multiple kisses on her cheek.

Dani managed to break free from the tight hug, looking very confused on why her folks accepted her so easily, despite her lying to them for about almost a year now. "But I...lied to you guys...over and over for a really long time? If I were you guys, I'd be furious." Dani said to her parents.

"Well, of course you lied to us, we never gave you a reason not to."

"All this time, we've been yammering on about destroying and dissecting ghosts...I would've been terrified, too, if I were you." Jackie added as she placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder.

"We love you, sweetie. You."

Dani smiled warmly to her parents as they continued to smile at her. "Whether you're ghost, girl, or...something in between."

"And I appreciate that, more than you guys will ever know." Dani said as she gave them a big hug. After they released each other, she looked down at the Reality Gauntlet and frowned with her mind made up, even if she would regret doing this, but she never wanted her parents to learn the truth about herself like that, so she decided that it would probably be the best for everyone if she didn't tell them until the time was right. "...or will ever remember."

She aimed the gauntlet as it glowed blue and her parents made confused faces when their daughter mind-wiped them into forgetting everything that has happened for the last three days before she teleported everyone back to their hometown, Amity Park.


Back at Amity Park, at the Gals in White headquarters, Agents O and K have finally given up on chasing Dani cross country after she and her friends disappeared from the Comic Book Convention to deal with Freakshow, so they returned to their HQ to work on their computers. Then their alarms suddenly began to blare as the agents stared at a computer monitor alert.

"What is it?" Agent K asked her partner.

"A massive spike in ecto-energy!" Agent O replied before they both looked up and saw Dani Phantom hovering above them with the Reality Gauntlet on her arm as she smiled at them.

"That would be me." She said as she waved her gauntlet-covered hand. The agent immediately pulled out their weapons, but Dani remained unfazed when she held out the gauntlet and it glowed yellow. "Ah, ah, ah…" She transformed their guns into a chicken and a tuba before she pulled out her Fenton Thermos. "Here, a gift." She tossed it to the floor as it cracked and exploded when ghost Freakshow roared. Dani then changed her back into her original human status before the Gals in White immediately cuffed her up. Dani was about to fly away, but then briefly returned when she frowned at the agents. "Oh, and from now on, you're gonna leave Dani Fenton and her family alone."

"Why would we do that?" Agent K retorted.

"Because…" She held out the gauntlet as it glowed blue and she waved it in front of the agents. "She's not the ghost you're looking for."

"She's not the ghost we're looking for." The agents repeated as they got mind-wiped from their memories of Dani being half-ghost, while Freakshow retained all her memories.

With the job finally done, Dani flew out of the HQ.

Dani finally returned to Fenton Works after she mind-wiped everyone from their discovery of her being half-human, half-ghost. She was in her human form with the Reality Gauntlet on her arm while Sam and Tina were waiting for her when she returned. Dani pretty much made it seem like everyone has just finished their Dumpty Humpty concert so it was actually the day after that night, and made it seem like it was never interrupted by a vindictive power-hungry ringmistress, who was bent on vengeance and world domination.

"So, that's it, I've set everything back to the way it was before. Nobody knows I'm half-ghost, except you two, James, and my enemies." Dani said to her friends before she glanced down at the Reality Gauntlet. "Now it's time to destroy this thing for good, nobody deserves this kind of power."

"Hey, Fentina-Orlando-and-Dawn!" Daph Baxter called out when Dani quickly hid the gauntlet behind her back as she and Paul walked up to her in their swimsuits, both smirking shallowly at Dani. "What are you still doing in town?"

"Yeah, weren't you taking a trip to Loserville?" Paul mocked, not remembering anything about her being Dani Phantom, and the fact that he actually kissed her on the lips before. "Oh wait, you're already there!" Paul and Daph then walked away as they laughed while Sam and Tina glared at them.

"Oh man, that's right, everything's back to the way it was! Which means, we should be getting ready for our vacation." Dani said to her friends.

However, Sam and Tina both exchanged uneasy looks, considering everything they have been through together the past three altered days of participating in a cross country scavenger hunt for three powerful reality-altering gems.

"Uh, if it's okay, Dani, pass." Sam said.

"Yeah, we already had one cross country trip together, and I don't think we can handle another." Tina admitted.

Dani then began to agree with them, since they did actually have a point. "Yeah, I guess so. Alright then…" She said before she changed into her ghost form. "Time to finish this."

She flew up to the air and tossed the Reality Gauntlet to the air before she fired a ghost beam at it and destroying it along with the gems, sparing the world from it ever falling into the wrong hands again.

"Hey!" Jackie called from her window, catching Dani's attention. "Yeah, you! You've got a lot of nerve floating around like that!" She grabbed her Fenton Bazooka and aimed it at her as she charged it up. "When I get my hands on you, I'll tear you apart molecule by molecule!" She fired an energy ball at Dani, but like in the beginning, she merely dodged it with ease.

"Have a nice summer!" She called before she flew across the neighborhood as the kids and teens played together and had some fun for the first day of summer, with everything back to normal. Dani flew off to the summer sunset while she laughed so she could enjoy the rest of her summer...until Jackie shot her right in the bum. "YEOUCH!"
