- This is sooo boring! When are going to have a ghost attack?- Tucker asked exasperated during lunch time on Friday.

- I don't know Tucker! We need to wait for when their mating season is over. Then they will come by themselves and try to kill us all.- Danny answered.

- I'm getting bored too guys.- Dash said.- Besides, next week we don't have a football game.-

- Why not?- Sam asked.

- Because the calendar says so, but the week after that we'll be visited by the Ecko Creek's opossums. That's not even a challenge, those guys are really bad.-

- Well, I guess so, having an opossum as mascot doesn't sound really challenging, but don't underestimate your enemy, you can get an awful surprise if you do.- Danny said gently and yawning.- anyway, good luck on that match, I hope I can be there too.- He then said, blushing.

- Yes, thank you, I hope you can be there too, and I mean all of you guys.- Dash responded.- But Danny, why are you so tired?.- He asked worried.

- I've been taking care of Melanie all week.- Danny responded, yawning again.

- Who's Melanie?- Dash asked with curiosity.

- The five years old girl I'm babysitting, her mother trusted her to me and I've been taking care of her since Monday.-

- Since Monday?- Dash asked concerned and angry.- Who the hell is her mom to take her so long?-

- Good question Dash, and after you know the answer, you'll be more gentle towards Melanie's mother.- Sam answered smiling.

- Ok, then who's the girl's mom?- Dash asked again, now very curious.

- The one and only Kim Possible.- Danny answered proudly.

- WHAT?!- Dash yelled and everyone in the cafeteria turned to him, he blushed and slumped on his seat.- Are you serious? You're babysitting Kim Possible's daughter?- he whispered.

- Yes, I am. The girl is just adorable, but Dani is a little jealous of her and things have been a little awkward since then, because Melanie misses her parents and I told Dani that she would stay just for a little while. Even if both girls are hanging out well, Melanie wants to go home as much as Dani wants her out of our home now.-

- That's kinda fun. Both girls disagree but at the same time, they want the same thing.- Tucker said.

- Yes, maybe, but Melanie is getting desperate and Dani is losing her patience. Just today in the morning, Melanie got the bed wet and Dani was so mad at her. It took me a while calm the both of them, just before I left the house Melanie yelled "I WANT MY MOMMY!" from the bottom of her lungs, it broke my heart, but my mom assured me that everything would be fine for when I get back home today. And I don't know what to do with Dani, I don't know if I have to ground her or what, I mean, yes, she's been mean with Melanie, but I told her that the girl's mother would go to pick her up for Tuesday, it sounds like I lied to her and I don't like that, and now, if I punish her, she'll get mad at me.- Danny sniffed after his explanation.

- Do the girls share the bed?- Dash asked.

- Yes, the room Melanie used the first time she stayed became Dani's room when she got home, and now they've been sharing the bed and the room since Monday.-

- No surprise you're so tired, taking care of two little girls isn't easy at all.- Sam said, getting weird looks from the others.- What? I've taken care of kids too, don't look at me like that please! It makes me feel weird.-

- Sorry Sam, but it's just that we didn't expect you to know about that stuff.- Tucker said gently.

- Hey! Do I have to remind you who got the best grade in the flour sack experiment in health class?-

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, ok! Don't lose your temper honey.- Tucker said defensively.

Sam shrugged and let it go, she then turned to Danny.- Well Danny, there's nothing you can do for Melanie until her mother goes and get her, and for Dani, talk to her again, be patient and make her understand that the little girl misses her parents and her own house and bedroom, if she keeps behaving like that, then you ground her.-

Danny thought for some time.- Maybe you're right Sam, I'll talk to her again as soon as I get home today. Thank you Sam.-

- You're welcome Danny.-

- Hey Dash!- Thomas came running at him, he seemed very upset.- Did you hear?-

- What's going on Thomas?- Dash asked him.

- The Ecko Creek opossums defeated the warriors from Silver Hill High.-

- WHAT? How was that possible? The warriors always wiped the floor with them.-

- I don't know man; they even said that the Warriors abandoned the game.-

- Wow! Maybe we need to check on them, just to avoid any surprise.-

- Yeah! So.- Thomas took a look around the others.- Uh, listen guys…- Thomas blushed lightly.- I… I'm… I'm sorry ok? I saw you the last game and, well, you were there supporting us, it took me the whole week to swallow my pride and come here and tell you this, and thank you for being there.-

- You're welcome Thomas, but you're wrong. Danny wasn't there.- Dash said nervously.

- Please Dash! I'm not that dumb, I know the truth by now, you've been hanging out with them so much, and your "girlfriend" just appears in our games, with these other guys who are Danny's best friends, and her name is Daniela, the same name as him but for a girl, come on! Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.- Thomas said smiling and turned to Danny.- By the way, you really look like a girl, and a really pretty one Danny. It seems that being a girl suits you, and I don't mean it as an insult, if that's what you want, then you should go and get it, again I'm sorry for everything I've done to you and I hope to see you all in our next game, see ya!- Thomas was leaving.

- Wait!- Dash stopped him.- Is this ok with you Thomas?-

- Well, at first, when I realized everything, I thought it was disgusting, and plain gay guys, I mean you're both males, but then I decided to go and check what was going on in the Axion labs and they informed me. This thing about the gender morphing is real, the change is totally complete, I mean, they really can turn a man into woman and vice versa, it's not just esthetical, it's for real, with breasts, vagina, womb and all that, the former man is perfectly capable of getting pregnant, give birth and lactate, It's pretty amazing jeje, well it wasn't so much when the receptionist asked me if I wanted to become a girl.- Thomas said blushing madly and gaining laughter from the others.- But that's not important, what I want to say is that Danny will be a complete and functional woman, and if she dates Dash, that's not gay, it's "normal", a straight guy with a straight girl, and that's just fine. But please Dash, do me this little favor and don't kiss "her" in front of me until she's a full girl ok? When is that going to be by the way?- Thomas finished, smiling at Danny.

- Well, it's supposed that I'm getting in the pod right after the semester ends, just to not lose it, but if what Vlad Masters told us can be done, I've be in there from two to four weeks before.- Danny answered excitedly.

- Really?- Everyone asked him.- How so?- Sam asked him.

- Well, as Thomas said, it looks like my results on the tests are too high, Vlad says that I'm a girl in the wrong body, and that if the pod wouldn't be occupied now, I could get in right then and there.-

- REALLY? WOW!- Everyone was surprised.

- That's great I guess.- Thomas said giving Danny a thumps up.- So, you really want this! Or at least your body does, congratulations Danny, I hope you can find happiness, and for what I saw, you'll be gorgeous, so Dash, if you don't take care of her, I might steal her from you jaja.- with that said, Thomas rushed away, not waiting for Dash or Danny to reply.

- Ok, that was weird.- Jazz said.- I mean, he's already trying to hit on you Danny.-

- I don't think so.- Dash said a little angry.- I want to think that he was just joking with us, just to lighten the mood between us.-

- I find it appealing!- Sam said smiling.- Danny hasn't become a girl and there are guys hitting on her already.- Danny blushed even more.- By the way Danny, how are you going to convince your parents to let you go to Axion labs sooner? I'm pretty sure that that's what you want to do.-

- Well, I'm not sure, my parents won't let me go before the semester is over, unless…-

- …Unless your grades are good enough to skip the finals.- Jazz said, kind of mocking and laughing a little.

- Hey! My grades have improved greatly.- Danny defended.

- Yeah! You've had more time for studying recently.- Jazz kept mocking.

- Jazz, why don't you help Danny to study instead of mocking him?- Dash asked her in an angry tone and everyone held their laughter and looked at Jazz, who looked dumbfounded.

- Yeah Jazz! You said that you would do anything for me, your sister, why don't you help me? So I can skip the finals and get in the VENUS pod sooner.- Now Danny was mocking Jazz.

- Ok, ok. Geez! Of course I'd help you Danny, I was going to offer you my help anyway, before "someone" interrupted me so rudely.- Jazz said glimpsing at Dash.

- Hmph!- That's all Dash said.

- Anyway.- Jazz continued.- What's your average grade Danny?-

- It's B- right now, but that's not good enough to skip the finals, I need A- at least.-

- Well, that's good enough Danny, if we study two hours every day you can make it.-

- Thank you Jazz, now we have to convince mom and dad of that idea.-

- Well, I'm pretty sure that they will tell you exactly that. If you get an A- and exempt the finals, there won't be any reason to not let you go to Axion labs before spring break.-

RRRIIIIIINNNNNGGGG! The lunch time was over and everyone left to their classes.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Another normal school day and Danny was walking home with his friends and sister, they were chit chatting happily but suddenly, Danny's ghost sense went out.

- Uh Oh!- He said.

- Finally!- Tucker said excitedly and smiling widely.

- The Fright Knight is here to perform his duty to King Pariah Dark.- Said ghost appeared on his horse and with his blade on his hand.

- Damn! Cover me guys.- Danny said and ran to an alley and transformed into Danny Phantom.

As it's usual nowadays, the people, instead of run and look for a safe place, took their cell phones and started to record everything.

- Hey jerk!- Danny Phantom yelled from behind the Fright Knight.- Didn't you hear that your master is sound asleep? Like a baby ghost!- Danny started with his usual mocking strategy.

The Fright Knight turned to him- That's why I'm here ghost boy! I'm looking for the one with the key for my master's cell. The silence will fall, the darkness is coming and it wants all his children with him this time!- The Fright Knight said menacingly, Danny didn't know why, but his words scared him.

- Well, that won't happen if we can do something about it.- Danny said trying to look strong, but he was really scared this time.

- We?- The Fright Knight asked dumbfounded.- Aaaarghh!- He received a ghost ray on his back.

- Yes! WE!- someone said from behind the Fright Knight, he turned to look at a beautiful ghost girl, pretty similar to the ghost boy.-

- Who are you girl?- The Fright Knight asked her.

- I'm Daniela Phantom! Danny Phantom's twin sister, I've finished my training and now I'm here to help my brother against you and any other ghost who attacks this city!- The girl yelled with courage.

- Well, well, well, what we have here, my god, you're gorgeous girl; maybe if you change your side now, you'll be able to survive and become my bride when the world ends. What do you say cutie? We're in the middle of mating season and all my concubines are expecting already, but there's always space for one more.- The Fright Knight tried to hit on Daisy, on his own style.

- EEeeewwww! How disgusting! You don't have any respect for women.- Daisy lost her temper. She breathed hard and looked at the Knight.- Thank you but no thank you asshole, you sure aren't a Knight in shining armor, much less a gentleman, and I feel pity for any girl you have as concubine. Besides, my big brother here will never allow that someone like you to lay a hand on me- Daisy said in disgust. The Fright Knight looked surprised and people below started to laugh at him.

- Well, there's still time for you to reconsider it my dear, maybe when everything around you is destroyed and your brother's dead you'll have a better perspective of things and accept to be my concubine and give birth to my offspring.-

- ENOUGH!- Danny yelled angrily.- My sister is a lady dumbass. You have no chance against the both of us Fright Knight, so, if you leave now, I won't destroy you with your own blade.-

- Jejejeje. Do you think that you're the only one with back up ghost boy?- The Fright Knight said mockingly.

- What do you AAAAAGGGHHH!- Danny was attacked with a thunder ball.

- Hello young one. How are you?- Vortex greeted Danny.

- Not as good as I would like. So now you're a team, you look good together, have you published your relationship on facebook already? Or do you want it to be a surprise for all your friends and families?- Danny kept his cool, even with his right arm sore for Vortex's attack.

- What?- Vortex was furious.

- Don't let him get in your head Vortex, that's what he wants, just focus on the plan.- Fright Knight said and Vortex calmed a little.- Fine, you get the boy, I'm going for the gorgeous girl, I want her, if you know what I mean.-

- Everyone knows what you mean Fright, 10 concubines and you still want more!-

- What can I say, I'm a very horny ghost.-

- What about my sprouts?- Someone yelled but couldn't be seen.

- This can't be!- Danny whispered terrified.

- The floor trembled and the pavement exploded, a giant tree came from below and covered everything around it with plants.

- Undergrowth!- Danny said trembling.- This is bad, these three are powerful enough by themselves, and now they are here at the same time.- Danny thought with fear.

- Well, well, well, it looks like we have the upper hand today ghost boy.- the Knight said proudly.- I have a proposition for you, let me take your beautiful sister with me now and you'll just have to fight them, I have to save my energy if I want to knock up your beautiful sister tonight jejejeje.-

- Hey jerk! If you want something with me tell me yourself, don't tell my brother that, besides, I'm not a property! And I already told you that I'm not interested, didn't you get the hint?- Daisy was furious.

- There's where you're wrong girl, you're a girl, a property for men to be used as we like to, one way or another you will come with me TODAY!- The Fright Knight attacked Daisy.

- Daniela!- Danny rushed behind The Knight, but he was stopped by Undergrowth branches, they held him by the arms and legs.

- If I were you I'd be more worried about me than your sister!- Vortex said charging another thunder ball on his hands. Danny focused his energy and froze Undergrowth branches and destroyed them just in time to avoid Vortex's attack. Fortunately, said attack hit Undergrowth and he started to argue and attack Vortex.

- My chance!- Danny thought and flew towards the Knight.

Daisy was fighting very well, the Fright Knight couldn't hit her and she was hitting him hard. Danny attacked the Knight and sent him flying away.- Are you ok dear?- he asked Daisy.

- Yes mom, I'm ok. I can handle him, he's just a macho jerk with a long blade to replace what he doesn't have as a man.- Daisy was really angry with the Knight.

- Wow! You really are angry with him jeje. But keep your mind cool honey, if you lose your temper you won't think straight and you could lose the fight ok?-

- Yes mom; I'll do it, don't… WATCH OUT!- Daisy said and threw herself to Danny getting out of the way of four plant spears that were thrown at them.

- Woah! That was too close! Thank you dear!- Danny was very thankful to Daisy.- I don't think we can handle those three alone, we need help.-

- Are you going to create more clones mom?-

Danny thought for a second but looked at the reporters and cameras around.- no, that's not a good idea, there are a lot of people watching, we better perform the plan "substitute-1" my dear.-

- Are you sure mom? What if you get hurt for real?-

- I know it's dangerous, but this is the perfect chance dear, three of the strongest ghost criminals are attacking at the same time, what a better chance for Danny Phantom to "die" fighting them, and Daniela taking his place! Go and tell the others about this and to call mom and dad, I don't want them to worry, I'll keep them busy for a while, go, go, go.- Danny hurried Daisy who flew to the others.

Danny fought alone with the three ghosts.

- Where is your sister ghost boy?- The Fright Knight asked cockily.- I want to take her with me, right after destroying you.-

- First and last warning dumbass, my sister is a lady, I already told you that, but if you keep mocking her, she will rip your testicles from your crotch herself, and I'm going to assist her with that.- Danny was starting to get angry with the Knight.

- Attack him!- The Fright Knight ordered and the three ghosts charged at him.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile, with Daisy.

- Guys, I need your help.- Daisy said in hurry, making them all invisible and dragging all of them to an alley

- What's going on Daisy? Why are you here and not helping Danny?- Jazz asked her.

- Mom wants to do the plan "substitute-1" now. She sent me to tell you to call your parents so they know what's going on, please hurry, I have to get back and help mom.- Daisy said and left.

- WHAT THE HELL? Who is she? Why does she look like Danny, but in her girl form? And who is she calling mom?- Dash asked right after Daisy left.

- She's a girl clone of Danny, it's a ghost power, but when Danny tried to make a clone he was thinking on his female form, that girl was the result of those mixed thoughts, she's the female ghost form of Danny, that's how she will looks like when she come back as a girl and transform into a ghost, and she calls Danny mom.- Jazz explained hurriedly, taking her cell phone and speed dialing her house phone number.

- Ok.- Dash was taking all that info in.- But what's the plan "substitute-1"?- He asked again but Jazz raised her index finger asking him for a moment.

- Hi mom…- Jazz had to separate the phone from her ear to avoid her mother's yelling to hurt her.- Yes mom, they are fighting three really strong ghosts as you can see on the T.V.… We'll explain you everything when we get home… No, everything will be fine… Mom listen… listen… LISTEN TO ME MOM!... Danny has a plan to make Danny Phantom "die"… NO MOM! It's just a façade, Danny will be fine, but Danny Phantom has to disappear in order to make Daniela Phantom to take his place… You know why this is all about… Yes, exactly… Everything will be fine mom, tell dad and Dani ok?... No, we're here and can help Danny… well, Tucker, Sam, Dash and me… Yes, we have weapons here… In my backpack, and Tucker and Sam have something too, right guys?- she asked looking at them and they gave her a thumps up.- Yes mom, they are ready, we are ready… yes mom, see you at home… WHAT? NO… Don't let her come, it's too dangerous… Danny won't be able to focus well on this if she's here… Use the Fenton thermos if necessary but don't let her come here!... Yes mom, we'll do it and be at home on time for dinner, I assure you that… Yes, see you at home.- Jazz hung up and sighed. Then she looked at her friends and then to the sky, where the fight was taking place, she returned her sight to her friends.- ok guys, what do you have?- Tucker took the Fenton fishing rod, Sam took the Fenton lipstick and Jazz took the Fenton peeler and the Fenton bazooka.

- How did you keep that in your backpack?- Dash asked dumbfounded.

- Women secret! A backpack is like a purse jeje. Pick one Dash, you need a weapon if you want to help us!- Dash didn't think twice, as a man, he took the bigger gun at hand, Jazz rolled her eyes at this and laughed a little.- You'll regret your choice pretty soon Dash, jeje, once you see what this baby can do.- Jazz said taking the Fenton peeler in her hand.

- I really doubt it.- Dash said loading the Fenton bazooka.- How does this shit works?-

- Pretty easy, hold it on your shoulder, the ecto rays come from this side, take it steadily, you point at your target with this thing here, pull the trigger, don't push it, and shoot at your target, this thing can shoot every 3 seconds and can shoot 500 times before running out of power, but use it wisely Dash, it doesn't hurt ghosts only, a missing shoot can destroy a wall and even hurt a person, ok?- Jazz gave Dash a fast tutorial about the Fenton bazooka and Dash nodded at her.- Very well then, Take this one too Dash.- Jazz handed him a Fenton thermos.- This thing is what we us to jail the ghosts. Let's go help Danny.- She said trying to sound courageous and the four teenagers charged at the battlefield.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Danny and Daisy were struggling a lot; these three ghosts were really, really strong. They were surrounded and the three ghosts were about to attack them at the same time with their stronger attacks.

- Last chance to change your mind voluntarily girl.- The Fright Knight said to Daisy flirting.- Take my hand now, I promise you to be gentle and lovely to you every time, just accept me now.- he extended his hand to her.

- BACK OF JERK!- was Daisy's answer.

- As you wish girl, then I'll knock you out here and knock you up in my lair later, you'll be screaming my name in the end girl, I assure you that jajajaja. Attack them, but don't hurt the girl, not too much jeje.- The Fright Knight ordered and the three ghosts attacked. Danny saw this as a chance and pushed Daisy away; he created an invisible, but strong force field and received the three attacks alone. Even with the force field, Danny felt a lot of pain from the attacks, so he yelled for real.

- DANNY!- Daisy yelled, really worried.

Everyone saw at the sky, a blue fireball fell to the ground and hit it hard, making a crater and burning everything around. When the smoke dissipated, Danny Phantom came out of it, his clothes burned and he had bruises everywhere.

- Is that all you have?- He said stumbling.- I've got harder attacks from the box ghost!- He spitted some ectoplasm from his mouth.- You can't…- He breathed hard and stumbled more.- You can't… you can't beat… beat me… with that…- He fell to the ground on his face and didn't move.

- DANNY!- Daisy flew to him but she was stopped by a big hand holding her arm.

- Hi gorgeous!- The Fright Knight said.

- Let me go asshole!- Daisy yelled struggling to and trying to hit the knight, but he pulled her to him. Daisy could feel his smell, his broad chest with her hands and his strong arms holding her tightly, she kind of felt good and protected in some weird way and blushed a little, but then she felt something poking her crotch, she knew it was his manhood and felt disgusted and blushed even more, she started to fight to release herself from him.- LET ME GO!- She yelled again.

- Come on dear! I can see that you liked being covered by my body; you liked the security you felt in my arms, I know it! I can protect you, you'll be safe with me, all your needs will be covered every single day without fail, and our offspring's needs too. I may look like a dark ghost; because I am a dark ghost, but I love every one of my kids with all my ectoplasm and soul, and every one of my concubines have a very special place in my dark core, I assure you that, just accept me, kiss me on the lips and seal the deal, you'll be mine forever and I'll be yours, not even Pariah Dark will be able to take you away from me.- The Fright Knight spoke in a very seductive and caring tone, he took out his helmet, revealing a very handsome and serious face with a dark but sexy glow on him. Daisy couldn't stop herself from blushing even more and feel really attracted to him.- Your brother is already dead or he will die pretty soon. You have not many options now, if you decide to fight what's coming, you'll end up just like him, but if you come with me, you'll be safe, safer than ever, you'll have everything you want whenever you want it, the same goes for every ghost kid we procreate, come on honey, what do you say?-

Daisy was feeling dizzy and confused, she looked at his purple eyes and felt excited.- I… I can't…- She started to approach her face to his.- I… made a promise…- She started to close her eyes and lips, rounding his neck with her arms, approaching to him even more.- …To protect the city…- She was about to kiss him on the lips when a blast hit him on the back, he yelled and released Daisy from his grasp, Daisy shook her head, like she was getting out from some kind of hypnotism and looked at the Fright Knight, who looked really mad to the floor, she looked down too and saw Dash there with some kind of big gun and smoke coming from it.

- PITY HUMAN!- The Fright Knight yelled in rage, his once handsome face turned in a darker and scarier expression. Daisy saw this and understood that everything was some kind of trick from him, she felt repulsed and very angry with him, and with herself for falling so easily.

- YOU BASTARD!- She yelled in rage at the Fright Knight.- I'M GOING TO DESTROY YOU!- She charged at him.

- No! Wait! I was serious!- The Fright Knight yelled in fear, and he was serious, he meant everything he said, but because of Dash attack and Daisy's anger, she didn't believe him, not anymore and attacked him.

- I'M NOT FALLING FOR THAT AGAIN ASSHOLE!- She yelled, she was really mad at him, and there was nothing he could say to convince her. Daisy charged at him, he put again his helmet and started to fight her.

- DASH! Don't distract with them! She can handle him! Come and help us over here!- Jazz yelled at him and he got out of his stupor and ran to her.

- What do I do now?- Dash asked Jazz once he reached her.

- Help Tucker with Undergrowth, Sam and I will take care of Vortex, go, go, go.- Jazz ordered him and Dash rushed to where Tucker was fighting.

All the teens were fighting really well, but in the end, they were humans and their enemies were ghosts, three of the strongest ghosts in the ghost zone.

- Come on guys!- Jazz yelled with the Fenton Peeler armor on her body.- We have to get rid of these guys before the GIW get here!-

- Easier said than done.- Tucker said pulling the string of the Fenton fishing rod that was hooked in Undergrowth mouth.

Daisy was getting tired of fighting The Fright Knight, she didn't know why, but the Fright Knight wasn't attacking her, just avoiding her attacks, but he did'´t say anything, he just kept defending, he didn't even had his sword on his hands. Daisy hit him many times, and the pain could be seen on him.

- FIGHT ME! FIGHT ME JERK!- Daisy yelled in rage.

- I don't want to!- The Fright Knight answered.

Daisy felt like crying.- You… YOU WON'T FOOL ME AGAIN!-

- I didn't mean to fool you, I'm really attracted to you. It's just that that human attack really hurt me. The humans are getting better weapons against ghosts every passing day, It's like they're looking for a war against ghosts.-

- That's not true, the humans just want to defend themselves from ghosts like YOU.- Daisy yelled, pointing at him.- Like Pariah Dark. Like all those ghosts who want to destroy the world and hurt humans. Ghosts that makes look all ghosts like evil, even if we are not, like my brother and I.-

- REALLY? Then why one of your anti-ghosts organization tried to destroy our whole world a few months ago?-

- What are you talking about?-

- I'm talking about those Guys In White! They tried to destroy the ghost zone with a missile! That time your brother and some other ghosts joined forces to stop them. If humans just want to defend from ghost criminals, then why would they want to destroy everything in our world, even our children!-

- I… I didn't know that.- Daisy stopped her attack and stayed floating there, looking straight at the Fright Knight.

- Girl, you are a ghost, your place is with other ghosts, not between these humans, they won't treat you well, no matter what you do for them, no matter if you save them 1,000 times, if you make a single mistake, even if it's a little one, they will despise you, outcast you. Come with me now, and you will avoid all that crap, you just have to take my hand and kiss me and it will be done.- He extended his hand at her. Daisy extended her own hand trying to reach his. But then the Fright Knight was sucked and vanished in front of her.

- NNOOOOOO!- He screamed while being sucked. Daisy was startled and there was another ghost behind where the Fright Knight was; he was holding a Fenton Thermos.

- DO NOT BELIEVE ANYTHING GHOSTS LIKE HIM TELL YOU! EVER!- He said in a very serious tone.

- Who are you?- Daisy asked him.

- I'm Vlad Plasmius my dear. I suppose you are Danny's clone, right?- Vlad introduced himself.

- Y… Yes! But how did you know that?- Daisy was impressed and scared at the same time for this ghost knowledge about her and her mom.

- My apologies darling, I'm Danny's former enemy, but I'm here to help you now, these guys are really though. I'm the one other halfa, I'm also helping Danny to become a girl. Where is he anyway?-

- Oh! He's faking his dead, so Danny Phantom will disappear and his "twin sister" Daniela will take his place defending the city.- Daisy said pointing at herself with her thump.

- Oh! I see, so that's why he fell immobile a while ago, I got scared, I thought he died for real and I rushed even more here.- Vlad released a calming sigh.

- Thank you, but don't worry for him, we better take care of the other two before they hurt my mom's friends and those awful GIW get here.-

- Yes, you're right, I'll get Undergrowth, you go after Vortex, got it?-

- Roger!-

Vlad and Daisy got after their respective ghost and fought them; Vlad got it a little easier because of his experience and power, but Daisy didn't do it that bad and they managed to distract Undergrowth and Vortex enough time for Jazz and Tucker to suck them into the Fenton Thermos they had.

After the battle they congratulated each other, it was a little awkward to congratulate with Vlad, but they did it anyway. Then Daisy winked at them and screamed.- DANNY!- Opening her eyes widely and flying where Danny had fallen. The others following her.

She got where Danny's body was and kneeled beside him.- Danny?- She asked cautiously. Danny didn't move but tightened his closed eyes to make her know that he was ok, and then the façade started.

- Danny?- Daisy started.- Danny wake up!- She took him and turned him around so she held him by his shoulders, facing him.- Danny come on. This isn't funny bro!- Danny didn't move.

People gathered around them and started to whisper and gossip.

- COME ON DANNY! OPEN YOUR EYES BIG BRO!- Daisy screamed and started to shake Danny's body, but he didn't reacted. Instead, his body started to vanish beginning with his feet.

- No, no, no NOOO! DANNY! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME BRO! PLEASE! PRETTY PLEASE! WAKE UP!- Daisy started to cry.

Danny's body kept vanishing slowly.

- NNNOOOOO!- Daisy screamed from the bottom of her lungs, crying uncontrollably.

- W… What's going on?- Jazz asked gulping.

- HE'S DEAD! MY BROTHER IS DEAD!- Daisy yelled angrily and sadly. And the people around them gasped in shock.

- WHAT? How's that possible? You are ghosts! You're already dead! How can you die again?- Tucker followed.

- Stupid human! Daisy turned to him.- Yes we are dead humans, but this is the afterlife! GOT IT? AFTER-LIFE! We can die too!- Daisy was out of control because of the "pain"- This is what happens when a ghost dies, he just vanish. THIS IS SO UNFAIR! I've just got here to finally meet my big brother after who knows how much time and this happens. NOW I'M TOTALLY ALONE!- Daisy was crying freely now.

Vlad got to her and hugged her.- I'm sorry.- He said loud enough for everyone to hear.- But what a good actress you are.- he whispered to her and she smiled, covered by his body.

People stayed there, some were sniffing, others were crying silently. Everyone just stayed there, looking at Danny Phantom's body vanishing until it disappeared completely. Daisy screamed and cried uncontrollably while Vlad hugged her and consoled her. The rest of the gang just kept their heads low and were silent.

Suddenly someone yelled.- STOP RIGHT THERE GHOST SCUM!- It was the GIW, Agent O yelled and a bunch of GIW were aiming at Vlad and Daisy with their guns. Daisy looked at them angrily, tears still coming from her eyes.

- What is wrong with you?- Someone in the crowd yelled.- She just lost her big brother! Don't you know mercy?-

- That doesn't matter to us! It's just one ghost shit less in the world, so it's a good thing.- Agent O said in a cocky tone, getting gasps from the people around.- Oh shut up! This is our job! To get rid of all ghosts who threat to humans like all of you.- Agent O said looking straight and pointing at the crowd.- So, an eliminated ghost is a good thing to us.- He finished and turned around to the teenagers.- You! Kids! Stay away from those two ghosts so we can shoot them without worrying about hurting you!- Agent O ordered to Jazz and the others, but they, instead of moving aside, held their hands and circled Daisy and Vlad, so the GIW wouldn't get a clear shoot.- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Those ghosts are going to hurt you! Stay away from them, they're evil! They don't have feelings!-

- They won't hurt us more than you could!- Jazz countered.- And it seems pretty obvious to me that they do have feelings. Didn't you see her crying for her dead brother?!- She asked pointing at Daisy.

- Or him trying to comfort her!- Dash said pointing at Vlad.

- YES! THAT'S RIGHT! The one without feelings are you!- Another person in the crowd yelled and threw a rock at agent O, it didn't hit him, people started to booing at the GIW, and they started to get nervous.- Let her go! Give her some mourning time!- It could be heard in the crowd, some more rocks started to fly and hit the GIW.

- You two!- Jazz turned around looking at the ghosts.- Leave now, get out of here!- Vlad and Daisy started to fly.- And girl! I'm sorry for your loss.- Jazz said looking at Daisy and smiling at her, Daisy tried to smile back.

- NO! STOP RIGHT THERE!- Agent O ordered to them aiming with his gun at them.

- Hold to me girl!- Vlad said and Daisy held herself from his chest, Vlad covered himself and her with his red cape and they were gone in the blink of an eye. The agent O shoot just flew away.

- NNOOO!- Agent O yelled in frustration and threw his gun to the floor. He then turned to the teenagers and walked to them menacingly.- What is wrong with you? Is this some kind of teen rebellion or what? Those ghosts could have hurt you! Are you nuts or are you just plain stupid kids? You know what, you're under arrest, the four of you, don't move.- He ordered them and with a move of his fingers, the other GIW agents went to them and started to put handcuffs on them. People around were getting angrier by the second.- You can't do that! They're just teenagers! You can't arrest them, you don't have the authority.- People started to walk to them, ready to fight.

- Actually.- Agent O smiled at the people.- I do have the authority and no one of you can stop me! Or do you want to be arrested too? BACK OFF NOW! Take them to the police department, we will interrogate them there.- He ordered to his men, who started to drag the kids to a big truck.

- There's where you are wrong mister agent of WIG.- Someone from afar yelled at agent O, he was approaching fast, it was none other than Mr. mayor Vlad Masters.- I DO HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO STOP YOU!- He stood in front of agent O.- Release those kids now!- he ordered.

- B…But Mr. Masters…- Agent O started.

- I said now agent O.- Vlad said in a very serious tone and crossing his arms. Agent O sighed and nodded at his men, who proceeded to release the teens. People started to laugh at the GIW and applaud to Masters for his brave act. Agent O was very angry but he didn't say a thing until the teenagers were free and beside Vlad.

- Those ghosts could have hurt them Mr. Masters, ghosts are evil, that's a fact sir, there's no such a thing like a friendly ghost, that's just a joke.- Agent O said as calmly as he could, but he was clearly upset.

- Maybe you're right agent, or maybe you're wrong.- Vlad started.- but from where I, and all this people were looking, you were the bad guy here, trying to destroy a ghost girl who just lost her brother, seeming very happy for the ghost boy decease, and trying to arrest four teenagers. That just makes you look bad agent, even if it's your job, besides, those two ghosts didn't attack any human here, they were helping to stop the other three ghosts, and they succeeded, they just left this place at the first chance they had, and didn't hurt anyone. Remember that our law system says "not guilty until prove the contrary", so those ghosts can't be accused of anything because there is no evidence to do that.-

- Do you really expect to treat those monsters under our legal system?- Agent O asked very upset.

- As long as they are in our country, with our laws, yes, it seems the right thing to do agent.- Vlad kept his cool, but he was really offended by agent O calling him monster, of course, he knew that the GIW didn't know he was a one of the ghosts they tried to eliminate. Agent O sighed and ordered his men to leave, when he was leaving he turned around for a little while and said.

- I think that it's a mistake Mr. Masters, ghost's abilities gives them many advantages over us. They are a potential threat to all of us, including you, and when they attack, I'll do my job and protect you, and those brats beside you too.- he left after that.

- Thank you mayor Masters, you helped us a lot.- Dash said very grateful and the others seemed to have fun with this.

- You're very welcome young man, but you should leave this place at once, all of you, go home, and please, leave the ghost fighting to the trained professionals, it's a very dangerous job and you're too young. Even if you don't like it, what the agent of GIW said it's true, ghosts are a potential threat, even those who doesn't seem to, just because of their abilities, abilities that no human being have. Maybe there are good ghosts, or ghosts that doesn't want to scare or threat people, but we can't have the total certain of that, ok?-

- Yes Mayor- the four teens answered at the same time.

- Very well then.- Vlad took Jazz's hand and shook it.- go home.- he said and left them, going to the people still gathered there.

The four kids left and Jazz noticed that she had a piece of paper in her hand; she unfolded it and read what it had written. "Daisy told me that she and Danny would go home invisible, they want to see the four of you there. See you around Jazzmine". Jazz smiled and told her friends about everything and they went to Danny's home.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The four friends got in the house and they were gritted by the Fenton parents.- Well done guys, now everyone thinks that Danny Phantom is dead.- Jack said proudly.

- Thank you dad/Mr. Fenton.- They all answered smiling.

- That ghost girl was so convincing. Amazing performance, who's she by the way?- Maddie asked very curious and smiling too.

- She's one of Danny's clones, he had problems with that power, but last time he tried, he succeeded, but because of Danny thinking about being a girl was so strong, the clone ended up being a girl.- Jazz explained.- She looks exactly as Danny would look in her ghost form once he becomes a girl.-

- Really?!- Dash asked really excited and everyone looked at him with mischievous looks and he blushed deeply, everyone laughed.- She's gorgeous in her ghost form too.- Dash thought despite his embarrassment.

- And where's Danny?- Sam asked.

- Oh! She got here a few ago, she's changing clothes to be more comfortable, you know.- Maddie explained.

- And where are Dani and Melanie?- Jazz asked now.

- Well, Dani got really desperate with the ghost fight on T.V. and insisted in go and help you, but when I explained everything she calmed down, not before hitting Melanie really hard, the poor girl was so scared and in a lot of pain, so I cradled her for a while and she fell asleep, so she's napping in Dani's room.- Maddie explained.- Sigh, Dani was so desperate and scared for Danny that she didn't think straight and expelled all her frustration and rage with Melanie, it took Jack a very good amount of time to calm her and to me to explain her what was really going on, and once she understood, she started to cry, in shame and fear for what she did to Melanie, she's in the lab, on a corner, she punished herself there, and she said she won't move until her mom talk to her.-

- Who has to talk with who?- Danny said coming downstairs to the others.

- Well done Danny! It worked perfectly, now everyone thinks that Danny Phantom is dead.- Jack said patting her back

- Thank you, that was the idea. But Daisy did a great job, right honey?- Danny talked to her side where there wasn't no one, and suddenly Daisy appeared in front of everyone.

- Boo! Hi everyone! How did you know I was here mom?- She asked smiling.

- I'm your mother, I know everything.- Danny answered proudly.- Everyone, she's Daisy, my girl clone, she will be Daniela Phantom for a while, until I come back from Axion labs, say hi to everyone Daisy.- Daisy bowed and greeted everyone in a very polite manner and everyone greeted and introduced to her.- But I didn't expect Vlad's help, that was very useful, who told him about the plan?-

- No one.- Jazz answered.- He went to help because he thought you were in real troubles. But then, Daisy explained everything and he relaxed a bit.-

- That was very kind of him. It's so good to have him on our side now.- Danny sighed in relief.- Daisy dear, do you want to meet my friends and family?- Danny asked her gently.

- Yes please mom, I want to meet them all properly.- Daisy said taking a seat on the couch, the others followed her.

- By the way, where are Melanie and my daughter?-

- Well…- Maddie had to explain Danny what happened with the girls.

- Oh my gosh! Is Melanie ok?- Danny asked.

- Yes. she's fine, just a bruise.- Maddie assured her.- But Dani is really scared, you should go and talk to her, she's in the lab, feeling really bad for what she did.-

- Ok. I'll talk to her now.- Danny said and went to the lab, leaving everyone in the living room, chatting about the fight.

DING DONG. The doorbell rang and Jack went to answer it.

- Yes? Vlad! What brings you here buddy?-

- Danny! Is she really ok?- Vlad asked in a rush.

- Yes, she's perfectly fine, please come in fella.- Jack half hugged Vlad, dragging him in the house.

- I was worried about Danny.- Vlad said smiling at Jack.- his "dead" was so real that I almost believed it.-

- That was the idea Vladie.- Jack said sitting on the couch, Vlad took a seat too, beside Daisy.- Danny Phantom had to die.-

- Well, yes, but no one told me about that idea Jack, I'm a little angry for that, I mean I thought we have settled things already.-

- Uh! I'm sorry man, I thought Danny would tell you about it in one appointment, but I guess she didn't, besides, there was no way to know when a ghost strong enough would attack, much less three of them.-

- Well, yes, you're right.-

- Vlad, do you want something to drink?- Maddie asked him gently.

- Oh no, thank you, I have a lot of things to do, so I better leave.-

- Don't be like that Vladie, stay for dinner please.- Jack invited him.

- Oh, I don't know.- Vlad said calmly.

- Please Vlad, stay for dinner, we have a lot of things to talk about.- Maddie asked him smiling.

- Ok!- Vlad answered almost immediately.

- Jaja, do you want to stay for dinner kids?- Maddie asked the teens.

- Well, I guess I could, I just have to call home and ask for permission.- Dash said, taking his cell phone.

- Yeah, me too.- Tucker said taking his own cell phone.

- Me three.- Sam said, doing the same.

They started to chit chat in a friendly way.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Meanwhile, in the lab.

- Dani?- Danny asked in a gently way.

- MOMMY!- The girl flew to her and almost tackled her, hugging her tightly, she was crying her eyes out.- I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry mommy!-

- Hush, take it easy my love, it's ok.- Danny patted the girls head and back, cradling her, she whispered soothing words to the girl. It took a while, but Dani calmed enough to talk, she was still sniffing.

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt her…- Dani started again.

- But you did it.-

- I'm really sorry mommy. I was really scared when I saw you fall to the ground on the T.V., I wanted to go and help you but Melanie was there, telling me there was nothing I could do because I was just a girl, I was so angry that I almost attack her with a ghost blast… sniff… I just slapped and pushed her, but it was enough to hurt her and make her cry. I'm sorry mommy.- Dani explained and apologized herself again.

- It's ok dear. Well, it's not ok, but you were scared and got angry. I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the plan of "killing" Danny Phantom, I should have to, but I forgot it. I'm sorry dear.- Danny said and kissed Dani in the forehead.- You don't have to apologize to me, you know that, but you HAVE to apologize to someone else, and you know who, right?-

- Yes mommy, I know, sigh, I just hope she can forgive me again.-

- If you are sincere, and you are really sorry for what you did, she will forgive you.- Danny told her.- Let's go upstairs, it's almost dinner time.- Danny wiped Dani's face with her hands one last time to remove the remaining tears and took her hand, leading her upstairs.

- Yes mommy.- the girl answered and both of them went upstairs.

When they got to the living room they were greeted by everyone, but then…

- DANI!- Vlad yelled in happiness.

- VLAAAAADDDD!- Dani yelled in horror, she was stuck in her place, started to cry and shake immediately and she peed herself on her spot. This changed the mood completely, it went from happy and cheerful to sad and gloom.

- Dani, Dani dear! Calm down honey, it's ok. He's not here to hurt you!- Danny tried to calm her, she kneeled in front of her and looked at her in the eyes.

- What's going on?- Dash asked, feeling bad for Dani and angry with Vlad at the same time.- Why is she so scared by you?- Dash half yelled at Vlad, looking at him angrily.

- Please Dani!- Vlad started.- I'm really sorry dear!- He tried to reach her but she recoiled and hid behind Danny.

- Don't let him get me mommy! PLEASE!- Dani was crying again, she almost dug her nails in Danny's body with her grip on her.

- What the hell Vlad? Why is my granddaughter so scared by you?- Jack asked, getting angry in an instant.

- It's hard to explain Jack, and I don't want to talk about it with her here, but I'm really sorry for what I did to her, I really am!- Vlad was sincere and everyone could hear the pain and sorrow on his voice, but everyone was getting angrier with him by the second.

- Let's try to calm ourselves now, please.- Danny said as calm as she could, patting Dani's head.

- I'm calm, I'm very calm Danny.- Dash said a little too loud.- I just want to know what the hell did this asshole do to MY DAUGHTER?-

This took everyone by surprise, even Dash, he didn't know why did he say that, he was just too angry for seeing Dani suffering.

- WHAT?- Everyone asked screaming.

- What did you say Dash?- Danny asked him, overwhelmed by what she heard.

- I… I…- Dash realized what he said and now was astonished.

- What did you say Dash?- Now it was Dani who asked him, she was popping her head lightly from behind Danny, she was still shaking and crying and didn't dare to look at Vlad, but she was curious and happy for what she heard.

- I… I don't know why I said that, but I asked what did Vlad do to Dani.- Dash was embarrassed and blushing, Dani shivered at hearing Vlad's name.- I… I just… I don't know ok, I was angry and…-

- Angry people tell what they believe is the truth for them.- Jazz interjected in a serious tone, making everyone to gasp, Dash blushed even more and both Danny and Dani were smiling.

- I… I'm sorry.- Dash apologized.- I… I don't have the right to call you my daughter Dani, it's just that I love you and your mother so much that I… I…-

Danny went to him and kissed him on the lips, Dani rounded Danny's body and floated to reach Dash's face and kissed him on the cheek, then she whispered on his ear "Daddy". This made Dash feel tears on his eyes and when he and Danny separated from the kiss, she was smiling widely and he took a deep breath and wiped his eyes with his hand.

- That kiss was breathtaking Danny, I loved every second of it, but what I loved even more was the moment Dani kissed me and called me daddy, that melt me from inside-out.- Dash was overwhelmed now.

- Thank you Dash!- Danny was crying from happiness.- Thank you for accepting all this so fast.-

- Yes! Thank you Da… ddy! I love you so much.- Dani hugged Dash and he hugged her back, kissing her on the cheek.

- Well… I better leave; this is not the time for me to being here. I'm really, really sorry Dani, I swear.- Vlad said trying to leave, tears could be seen on his eyes.

- WAIT A SECOND!- Dash screamed, he handed Dani to Danny, who recoiled to Danny's body at the glimpse of Vlad on her vision.- What did you do to her?- Dash asked as calmly as he could. Everyone but Dani was looking at Vlad, Danny was trying to give him support and trust through her look.

- Sigh…- Vlad sighed.- I did something too horrible to her… sniff… Something too horrible to talk about it in front of her. She's too scared because of me as it is, I don't want her to remember all that, neither Danny and I want to remember it. I was a real bastard back then, a monster.- Tears appeared on his eyes.- I'm really sorry for everything, I mean it!-

- Are… are you serious?- Dani asked not looking at him.

- Yes!- Vlad tried to get closer to her but she recoiled to get covered by Danny and Dash.

- P… Prove it!- Dani said still not looking at him.

- How?!- Vlad asked expecting redemption.- How can I prove you how sorry I am Dani?-

- I… I don't know. Think about something yourself! Help my mom with what she wants, make it up with the whole Fenton family and spoil me a little.- Dani said, the last part joking a little, she was still afraid of Vlad, but she was getting confidence.

- I can do all that. I want to do all that Dani….

- Woah, woah, woah, I don't think it's a good idea that Vlad spoils Dani, not even a little, he's the mayor and he's millionaire. Dani could become a brat.- Dash said.

- Wow! You're already thinking as a good father Dash, jeje.- Jazz said and everyone smiled, Dash blushed.

- No, it's ok, I really want Dani to forgive me, and all of you too, because I can't forgive myself if all of you don't forgive me first. I'm sincere every time I say sorry, and I want to move on with my life, but I need your forgiveness first.- Vlad was being honest and everyone trusted on his word, well, the men in the room not so much (instincts from protect what they love most), they won't trust on him completely, until he proves he has earned that trust.

- Well…- Dani started to talk; she was now looking at Vlad directly, but she didn't dare to approach him.- I… I think I can trust you and… gulp… being around you, but only with my parents or grandparents there. I don't think I can be alone with you yet.-

- That's just perfect Dani, thank you. I didn't expect that you would give me a chance so fast, but I really appreciate it dear.- Vlad tried to reach his hand to her but Dani recoiled again behind Danny, she was looking at him with fear, but at least, she was looking at him. Vlad got the message.- Ahem, well, at least I got a chance of forgiveness and that's good enough. I better leave, it's not a good idea to stay for dinner this time, maybe when Dani gets comfortable around me, but not right now, see you later guys.- Vlad left, not waiting for a reply or anything.

- Well, we better start making dinner girls.- Maddie said after Vlad left.- Jazz, Danny, come with me, I'll need help with the dinner this time, there's a lot of mouths to feed tonight.- Maddie said going to the kitchen, Danny and Jazz following her. Danny had Dani holding her skirt while walking, making it a little hard for her.

- Dani, yo'´re safe now dear, Vlad's gone and he isn't bad anymore, he's going to make it up to you, to all of us, it's ok.-

- I… I know, but… but I'm still afraid, I have the feeling that he will come back to attack us all and then take me away from you, from my family.- Dani said trembling.

- THAT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!- Dash replied startling everyone.- Not as long as I'm here to protect you Dani.-

Hearing this made Danny and Dani feel tears in their eyes and Dani rushed to him, jumped and he caught her with his arms and lifted her to him, she hugged him and kissed him on the cheek, he kissed back.

- I have an idea Dani, why don't you stay here with your father, your grandfather, your uncle Tucker, your aunt Sam and your sister Daisy while we make dinner for everyone?-

- Are you sure?- Dash asked her.- I can help you with something.- he was cradling Dani, the girl calmed down instantly.

- You are doing it already, it's ok; we can handle it, jiji, besides "the kitchen is not a place for men". Let the women to handle this.- Danny said giggling and got in the kitchen.

Everyone stayed at the living room in an awkward silence for a while, and then they started to chit chat in a friendly way, they talked about anything and everything, they were knowing each other better, something new for Dash, Tucker and Sam, they had chatted before, but too little, during lunch at school mostly, but this time they were bonding, becoming friends for real.

After like an hour Danny called everyone for dinner, Dash picked Dani up and they went to the kitchen, when everyone was seated they heard a scream.

- MOMMY! I WANT MY MOMMY!- It was Melanie.

- Damn, I forgot she was still here.- Danny said getting up.

- What are you doing mom?- Dani asked, she seemed angry.

- I have to attend her Dani.- Danny explained.- Please begin, I'll be back in a while.-

- Why don't you eat first and then attend her?- Dani asked again.

- Dani please, don't be like that, besides she needs me NOW, not after I eat.-

- But…-

- ENOUGH! Melanie is here as a guest and she wants to be back with her mom. Maybe you should explain your father why Melanie is like that now, let's see what does he has to say about it.- Danny sighed and continued.- As I said, I'll be back in a while.- And she left.

Dani looked down and started sobbing, Dash rounded her with his arm and hugged her.- What happened dear?- Ha asked gently.

- Well dad, it's just…- Dani started explaining.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

- Melanie?- Danny asked getting in Dani's room. The girl was on the bed, crying with her face buried on the pillow. Danny seated on the bed beside her and caressed her head and hair with her hand. The girl turned to see Danny.

- Miss… Miss Danny.- She got up and hugged Danny.- I want my mommy! I miss her so much!- The girl sobbed.

- I know dear, I know.- Danny was cradling her.- Don't worry, She'll come for you, sooner or later my dear. And until then, you are more than welcome here with us.-

- It doesn't seem to. Dani has been really mean to me.-

- Yeah, I'm sorry for that. It's just that Dani is jealous of you, because she isn't the littlest girl in the house anymore and you drag the attention from her. She's upset, but that doesn't excuse her for mistreat you. I will have to ground.- Danny said without thinking.

- Uh? What do you mean? Your parents should ground her, not you.-

Danny got nervous, she slipped up again.- Uh? Oh right! Jeje. I used to play mommy with her when she was a baby, with my mom watching us. I guess I still think that I can ground her, like when she peed or poo on her diaper, jeje.- Danny invented that lie and laughed, Melanie started to laugh too.- Do you want to eat dinner with us Melanie? My friends and my boyfriend came too, they are eating downstairs.- Danny said very gently.

- No thanks miss Danny, I don't want to be around Dani for now.-

- Ok dear, but you can't stay without eat, would you like me to bring you something to eat?- Danny asked as gently as before.

- Yes please, just some of the food from dinner thanks.-

-Very well then sweetheart, stay here and I'll bring you dinner, ok?- Danny said going to the door.

- Yes miss Danny, thank you.-

Danny went downstairs and she could hear Dash saying.- You don't have to worry about anything Dani, your mother loves you more than anything else, and I love you too, and that won't change my dear. You don't have to get jealous or being mean with that other girl, ok?-

- Ok daddy; that means that I'm not grounded?- Dani asked giggling.

- Oh you're grounded girl, that's for sure, your mother and I just have to discuss an appropriate punishment for you.- Dash said mocking a little and everyone laughed a little too, all but Dani, who just pouted.- That's not funny.- She mumbled.

- What if we finish dinner before discussing her punishment?- Danny said getting in the room and taking a plate where she put some of every dish.

- What are you doing sweetie?- Maddie asked her.

- Oh, Melanie is hungry, but she doesn't want to be close to Dani right now, so I'm bringing her some food to the room.- Danny said calmly and ruffled Dani's head.- But your father is right Dani, you're grounded, after everyone eats, your father and I will discuss your punishment. Daisy dear, get back inside me.- She left again, after Daisy vanished inside Danny, with the plate full of food and a glass of water, and went to Dani's room.

She got in the room again.- Melanie sweetie, I've brought you some food.-

- Thank you miss Danny, could you please stay with me while I eat?- The girl asked gently. Danny felt her stomach grumble but ignored it.- Yes, of course I can dear, here, start to eat.- Danny placed the plate on the girl's lap and handed her a fork. The girl took it and surprisingly, she didn't have so much troubles using the fork.- She is really smart for her age.- Danny thought looking at her. She stayed there for almost half an hour until the girl finished and handed the plate back to Danny, she then took the glass of water and drank the rest of the water there and again, handed it to Danny.- Thank you very much for the dinner miss Danny, it was delicious.-

- You're very welcome dear, now it's almost time for you to go to sleep, do you want to go to the bathroom to pee and change clothes?-

- Yes please miss Danny.- the girl said extending her arms. Danny carried her and took her to the bathroom where she helped the girl to change clothes and wash. After the girl was ready, she was falling asleep really fast, so Danny carried her again to the bed, tucked her and whispered soothing words to her and caressing her hair, until the girl fell asleep. The whole process took her another fifteen minutes.

- Wow! 45 minutes in total. I'm starving.- She thought and went downstairs again, for when she got back Sam and Tucker had left, Maddie and Jack were sitting on the living room together, Jazz was reading a book and Dash was fooling around with Dani.- I'm sorry guys, Melanie wanted me to keep her company, but she's finally asleep.-

- It's ok dear, serve yourself some food.- Maddie said. Danny went to the kitchen.

- Stay here Dani, I have to talk with your mother in private.- Dash said following Danny.

Danny was serving food on a plate when she saw Dash looking at her with a stern look.

- What? Are you still hungry dear?- She asked nonchalantly.

- No, I'm satisfied.- Dash said kind of angry.

- What is it then? You seem upset.-

- You just don't see it, do you?- Dash was getting really angry.

- What? I don't follow you.-

- Sigh… No wonder why Dani is so jealous of Melanie.- This took Danny by surprise.

- WHAT? What are you saying?- Danny got angry too.

- Danny, you stayed with Melanie 45 minutes, you helped her with dinner and to go to bed, while poor Dani was down here with us, feeling completely miserable. Right after you went upstairs, she started to cry.-

- Well EXCUSE ME! But Melanie is younger and she still needs help to do many things, besides She misses her mother, who isn't here for her physically.-

- Yeah? Well, it seems to me that Dani's mother isn't here for her either, even if she's here physically.-

- HOW DARE YOU?-

- ME? HOW DARE YOU? Danny you're not paying attention to Dani because of Melanie, I know that Melanie is physically and mentally younger than Dani, but Dani IS YOUR DAUGHTER! You told me that yourself, and she needs you too, she needs you more because she didn't have a mother before you got her back with you. She didn't have a family before you took her back here with you, she didn't have a daddy, or a grandpa and a grandma, or uncles and aunts, and most importantly SHE DIDN'T HAVE A MOMMY!- That got into Danny, she felt like crying then and lost her appetite.- Danny, she is beginning to think that you don't love her, if that keeps going on, she might run away, and who knows where she will end up, sigh… I know that you feel that Melanie needs you more because of her age, but if what Dani told me it's true, she's even younger, not even a year old for real.-

- My god! What am I doing?- Danny asked hiding her face with her hands.-

- You're doing what you think is right, but this time you made a mistake my dear.- Dash went to her and hugged her.- You just have to make it up to her.-

- You're right, I'm going to do it ri…-

- No way, you have to eat something first honey, and I have to go home, or I'll get grounded.- He went to her and kissed on the forehead.- I love you, and I'm sorry for being so rude, but someone had to tell you about all this, and I don't think we should ground Dani this time, she has all the right to be upset now, ok?-

- Yes, you're right, my god how could I be so clueless?- Danny was wiping her eyes with her hands.

- Don't take me wrong babe, but it seems that it's part of your nature to be clueless sometimes.- Dash said sincerely and Danny smiled a little. They kissed again and Dash left the kitchen saying good bye to everyone.

- May I go with you daddy?- Dani asked suddenly, a little desperate.

- No Dani, you better stay here, your mother has something very important to tell you.- Dash kneeled in front of the girl and held her by her shoulders, he whispered.- Everything will be fine from now on.- on her ear and kissed her on the forehead, the girl smiled a little.

Dash went to the door and opened it for leave, but in the other side, a red haired woman was about to ring the doorbell, she seemed very tired.- Excuse me, may I help you?- Dash asked her.

- Yes thank you, I'm here to pick up my daughter Melanie, and who are you young man?-

- Oh, I'm sorry, I'm Dash Baxter, Danny's boyfriend, you may be Kim Possible.

- Yes I am, nice to meet you Dash, but if you excuse me I'm on a rush, my husband is in the car, we just came for Melanie and we're leaving.- Kim said.

- Don't worry, I'm leaving too, if I don't get home in 20 minutes I'll get grounded, see you around Mrs.- Dash left in a rush and Kim got in the house, where everyone greeted her happily.

- I'm really, really sorry for this guys, it took us too much to solve the problem this time, I'm really sorry Danny, where's my daughter? So I can take her with me.- Kim said in a rush

- She's upstairs, she fell asleep a little while ago, right after she got dinner.- Danny told her and lead her upstairs. They came back down a little later, Kim was carrying Melanie and Danny was behind her, smiling, Melanie was sound asleep.

- I'm really sorry for all the troubles Danny, here, take this.- Kim handed her some bills and Danny took them.

- Don't worry Kim, it was nice to have Melanie here.- Danny said and Dani rolled her eyes.

- Ok then, see you next time guys, again I'm very sorry, and I hope next time won't be so soon and won't take us so much time, good night everyone.- Kim said and left the house, everyone said good bye to her.-

- Well, at last is over.- Danny said after closing the door behind her.- Dani dear, would you please come with me?-

- Yes mom.- Dani was still upset, but took Danny's hand and they went upstairs again. Once they got in Dani's room, Danny started to help Dani to get in the bed, suddenly, Danny started to cry.- I'm… I'm sorry Dani… sniff… I'm really sorry, I didn't realize that I wasn't paying attention to you because of Melanie, I'm such a bad mother!-

- No, you're not a bad mother, you just lost the perspective for a little while, and I'm sorry too. I shouldn't have mistreat Melanie the way I did, I'm really sorry mom.-

- It's ok dear, it was my fault since the beginning, it's so good that Dash helped me to realize my mistake, I promise that I'll make it up to you Dani, from now on I'll be there for you, always, with or without Melanie here.- Danny hugged her.

- Yes, thank you mommy.- Dani hugged back.

Again Danny stayed beside Dani until the girl fell asleep, when she got out; her mother was beside the door.

- Welcome to parenthood my dear.- Maddie said right after Danny closed the door.

- Was it so hard with Jazz and me?- Danny asked her.

- Yes, a little, Jazz got jealous of you too, because I was paying a lot of attention to you, and too little to her.-

- How did you realize that?-

- The same way you did it tonight.-

- Uh?-

- A good man beside me told me what I was doing wrong and helped me to fix it up. I was so glad for having your father by my side then, and I'm still glad for him being there for me, all the time. Seriously Danny, having kids isn't easy, for anyone, I respect those women and men who do it alone, but it's a lot easier when there's someone to rely and trust to.-

- Yes, I guess you're right mom. If you excuse me I'm really tired, good night mom.- Danny said kissing her mother on the cheek.-

- Good night dear. And keep Dash by your side, he's a good boy, and he will be a good man.-

- Yes mom, I know it.- Danny went to her room and to sleep.

Another day gone, another day closer to become a real girl for her.
