Disclaimer: I do not own either Danny Phantom or Steven Universe and if I have to clarify that one more time I'm going to flip a table!

Anyways, thanks again for all the amazing reviews as they are really great when I'm trying to motivate myself to write more. And I am really sorry about taking so long with this update.

Also, shoutout to ravenbyntious on tumblr for giving me the motivation I needed to finish this chapter!

Early the next morning I found myself down in the bakery, putting the finishing touches on some of the display cases to make sure that nothing was out of place for opening day. Cujo was with me of course but he wasn't so much helping as he was sleeping in his dog bed by the counter. Casting Cujo a glance as I finished with the final preparations I flipped the sign in the front window to Open before joining him as I took my place behind the counter to wait for customers.

Turns out I didn't have to wait for long as a few minutes later the door opened and in ran Onion, who was a peculiar child to say the least. I had only met him briefly yesterday and all he did during the encounter was stare at where my right eye used to be. Although the gem that now occupied that space was hidden by my hair it still unnerved me as Onion had stared at it for a few minutes before simply turning around and walking away. The only reason I even knew his name was because I had been outside Fryman's and Peedee had told me not to worry about him as that was just Onion who was known to do weird things on a normal basis.

Focusing myself back on the present I looked at Onion as he ran around the counter to drop something at my feet before continuing to run all the way out the back door. "Nice seeing you too," I muttered as I heard the back door slam shut, sighing as I looked down to see what Onion had dropped. Picking it up I realized that it was a stuffed bear with white sunglasses and a necklace that had the letters MC on it. Shrugging I simply placed the bear on the counter, believing that either Onion or someone else would come in to take it back to whomever it belonged to.

No sooner had I thought this then the door to the bakery once again opened and in ran someone I recognized as the boy I was supposed to protect. "Steven," I whispered. Shaking myself out of my slight shock at meeting him so soon I spoke a greeting, "hello."

"Hi!" Steven greeted back with enthusiasm as he looked at me before noticing the bear on the counter. "MC bear-bear!" he exclaimed with a smile, "so this is where Onion hid you."

"So this bear is yours then?" I questioned and when he nodded I picked up the stuffed toy and calmly handed it back to him, "I was wondering who he belonged to."

"Yeah Onion seems to have taken a liking to taking my things every once in awhile," Steven spoke as he hugged his bear close, "I'm Steven by the way, Steven Universe."

"Nice to meet you Steven, I'm Danny," I replied kindly, "Danny Fenton."

"Oh so you're the guy Sadie was talking about," Steven said, which made me curious. My curiosity must have shown as Steven began to elaborate, "when I went into the Big Donut this morning she said someone named Danny had just moved into town and now owned a bakery across the street."

"I see," I spoke with a small smile, "well she's correct, I am the owner of Fenton Works bakery, and I've only been living in beach city for about 3 days now."

"Where did you live before?" Steven questioned, the innocent curiosity a child can only posses shining through.

"Amity Park," I answered easily, seeing no reason to lie.

"You mean where all the ghost attacks are?" Steven questioned as he got stars in his eyes, "and where the super hero Danny Phantom lives?"

"That's the place," I answered with a smile.

"That is so cool! Did you see a lot of ghosts? Did you get to see Phantom in action? How many attacks were there per day?"

"Um let's see, yes I saw a lot of ghosts, I only saw Phantom in action I think once, and about two to three a day," I answered slowly and truthfully.

"Amazing! Your hometown must be an incredible place to have all of that happen and still be standing," Steven said in awe.

"Maybe, but I heard Beach City is prone to attacks as well," I spoke with a small shrug.

"Oh you mean the monsters me and the Crystal Gems fight," Steven spoke as he lifted his shirt to reveal his belly button, or rather where his belly button was supposed to be but instead lay a gem, "see we have these gems that allow us to summon weapons to fight evil monsters that try to destroy humanity. Although I'm a bit different as my mom was a gem who gave up her physical form to make me as my dad was human."

"I get it, you're like a halfa," I spoke suddenly with a snap of my fingers.

"A halfa?" Steven repeated.

"Yes, half-gem, half-human. A halfa, or gemling I suppose that works too," I explained.

"I like it," Steven responded with a smile on his face before Cujo let out a yawn and he directed his attention to the animal. "You have a dog? Is it a boy or a girl? Why is your dog green? What's its name?" Steven began questioning in rapid fire as Cujo wander up to him and Steven crouched down to let Cujo sniff his hand.

"Yes I have a dog, it's a boy, his name is Cujo, and he's green because he's a ghost," I answered easily, "when I lived in Amity Park I found him and he sort of became attached to me so when I came to Beach City Cujo just tagged along."

"That is so cool! a real life ghost!" Steven exclaimed with excitement as he scratched Cujo behind the ears, said dog wagging his tail before jumping up to lick Steven's face. "Ha, ha, that tickles," Steven laughed before his eyes wandered to the clock and he noticed the time, "oh no I'm late!"

"Late for what?" I questioned.

"I was supposed to meet my friend Peedee at his dad's shop a few minutes ago, I'm sorry Danny but I have to go," Steven spoke nervously.

"No, it's fine. I understand," I spoke as I reached under the counter and pulled out something before handing it to Steven, "here, take this with you. Sadie said they were your favorite right?"

"Cookie Cat?" Steven exclaimed in joy as he immediately took a bite of his beloved treat, "so good. Thank you Danny, I'll see you later!" With those final words Steven ran out of the bakery and down the pier toward Fryman's.

"Your welcome," I said to an empty store before letting out a sigh as my eyes slipped closed, "well that was eventful huh Cujo?" Hearing the ghost dog return to his dog bed I yawned as I settled deeper into my seat as I felt my consciousness slip.

-A Few Hours Later-

'I was sleeping, emphasis on was,' I thought to myself as I was awoken from my nap by the sounds of screams from down the boardwalk. Not thinking twice I jumped over the counter before running out of the shop to where the screams were coming from. What I found had me slightly horrified as I noticed it was the Fryman mascot costume that was causing the screams as he was forcing fries down people's throats.

"Steven!" I called out as I noticed the gemling on the ground next to Pearl who had ketchup covering her eyes, "are you okay? Who's in that thing?"

"No one," Steven answered as he sat up, "I used one of Pearl's crystals to make it come to life so Peedee wouldn't have to wear it anymore. But it turned evil! Don't worry, I have a plan to take it down I just need a distraction."

"I'm on it, " I spoke without hesitation, "do whatever you need to do." Stepping away from Steven I got into a subtle battle stance before calling out, "hey ugly! Over here!"

The mascot turned to me, the costume having taken a darker look as he shot fries at me. "You're going to have to do better than that!" I yelled as I jumped out of the way, the mascot choosing to just continue to shoot fries at me. All of which I dodged with the help of the training I had had with Ulric. "That the best you can do?" I continued to taunt it as I bought Steven time.

As I was distracting it the mascot didn't notice that Steven had brought his own clothes to life until it was too late as the boy's pants and shirt were suddenly attacking the mascot. The battle went on for only a short while before Steven threw his underpants into the mix as well and the mascot was quickly apprehended.

Figuring that it probably wouldn't be best to meet the gems yet I bid Steven farewell, well that and I didn't want to stick around for the weird funeral I heard Fryman begin to plan for the old costume. Leaving with a promise to Steven that if he came by the bakery tomorrow there would be more cookie cats waiting for him.

As I entered the bakery I flipped the sign in the window to closed before heading downstairs, Cujo at my heels as I went straight to my basement. Standing in front of my ghost portal I felt the coolness of the transformation rings as I tuned into Phantom. Walking through the portal I made sure Cujo was following me I continued to walk until I found Clockwork.

"Greeting young Phantom," Clockwork greeted me as I came into the room he was stationed in.

"Clockwork," I began with a respectful bow, "I have come to tell you that today I have made contact with Steven and wish you to advise me on what should happen next."

"Next?" Clockwork questioned me,

"I mean should I go out of my way to speak with him or should I just let things happen naturally?" I explained.

"Everything is as it should be," was Clockwork's answer, the ghost of a smile appearing on his face.

"You always say that," I pointed out.

"Young Phantom, if you truly yearn for my advice I shall give it to you. As it stands Steven has taken a liking to you already, despite you short encounter today, and as such I advise you to simply be his friend. If you feel it best then go seek him out but if you'd rather he initiate the friendship simply wait a bit and all shall come to pass," Clockwork spoke.

"I think I understand," I spoke hesitantly, "thank you Clockwork.

"It was my pleasure, now you best return to you home, and don't forget to come back every once in awhile to continue your training," Clockwork said.

"I won't, bye Clockwork!" I called as I picked Cujo up before going back through the portal to get home, closing it behind me before I headed upstairs. Relaxing in my window seat I turned on a light before reaching over for a book. "Gem Powers and How They Work," I read the title aloud, shrugging I opened the book up and began to read.

And that brings us to the end of chapter 4! I did it! Also I really want to apologize for the lack of updates and the lack of action in this chapter. I'm not that satisfied with the middle but the beginning and ending I think I did a good job of. Anyways, the poll for Danny's gem power is still going and last I checked Ability to amplify and use sound waves was winning, so make sure to cast your vote! Now let's get on with the reviews.

gamelover41592: Thank you so much! And yes it does take place in the Steven universe

series timeline.

BaconLover1800: Both of Danny's form have the gem in his eye but when he's in human

form it takes the place of his pupil but in ghost form the gem is placed in a sea of

blackness.

Kimera20: Thank you! I hoped this chapter lived up to your expectations.

darkromdemon: Thanks, and there will be more action in later chapters, I just have to

develop the story a bit more.

The Ultimate Balance Chaos: I'm glad!

OfLifeDeathAndAllBetween: Well here you go! And I'm not stopping yet.

Fk306: Here it is.

Guest: You're welcome, and thank YOU for reviewing!

Matt: "I think he's weird but then again most people are." -Danny

Drift219: Yeah that's partially why I made it in the first place, and I will.

Remzal Von Enili: I'll see what I can do. Though I'll probably just end up keeping it as it

is. Maybe for a fusion sequence.

Nightshade1712: I know but I really didn't want to have to worry about how Danny's

friends and family would fit into the story. As for pairings not really, definitely

RubyxSapphire but that's a given.

IamOminous: Yes he's still half ghost but it's more like the gem merged with both forms

so he's still only a halfa.

SneezySoul: Wait no more as the update is here!

Aquawyrm: Well I don't have a beta reader for this story yet so I'm the only one doing the

proof-reading for now.

And that's all the time we have for today. Hope you enjoyed it and I will see you guys, in the next chapter!
