"That's Danny Fenton!?" Caitlyn questioned.

Nikki looked just as surprised, though she hid it better. Caitlyn had a critical look on her face as she eyed him from a distance.

"I knew that he was younger than us, but... OK, from the way Jen talks about him and the staff reacting, I thought he'd be taller and not so...well...I don't know. I mean, he's not ugly, he is cute but in the little brother sort of way. It's not just me, right?" Caitlyn said to Nikki, but she wasn't listening.

Her eyes were on Danny. She grabbed Caitlyn by the arm.

"Come on," Nikki said.

"Where are we going?" The blonde asked.

"To get a closer look, I wanna see this," Nikki dragged her friend to another table.

"Good idea," Caitlin walked up to pace. "We need to see what this guy is like."

However, the hand of the receptionist blocked their path. "Hey, what gives!?" Nikki sounded indignant.

"If you're going to do this cliché bit," the receptionist handed the girls a couple of menus. "At least, order something. We do not appreciate non-paying customers."

"You have got to be kidding me?" Nikki reluctantly grabbed the menu as Caitlin dived into the hors d'oeuvres.

"Oh…Salmon Trout Tartare with Pressed Caviar and Tomatoes."

Nikki mentally slapped herself and rushed Caitlin to a table nearby. They held their menus up and hid their faces.

"Now let's see what's this Danny Fenton is like," Nikki turned to Caitlin, who surveyed the menu. "Caitlin." Nikki used a soft but stern tone."

"What? We have to order something if we're going to spy on them," Caitlin pointed to the receptionist. "The guy told us so."

Nikki wanted to argue, but a stare from the gentleman up front told her otherwise. With some hesitance, she glanced at the menu.

Huh, this doesn't look so bad. Nikki thought.

Oh, I know, the prices are great. Caitlin thought as well. The two girls looked at each other in fear of what just happened and decided to ignore it.

The girls made their orders, but kept the menus, and focused their attention on their friend's table.

Danny took a deep breath, trying to keep his nerves in order. He had arrived here, made sure that his hair and clothes were neat, the flower he got was alright and that his breath didn't stink.

Today is important because he was going to be face to face with his perfect match, the girl he hopes will become his new girlfriend, Jen Masterson.

The young halfa boy was now before her, with the flowers in his hand and a visible blush on his face as he felt his heart still beating as he looked at the girl.

"I'm…I'm happy that you agreed to this," Danny said in a shy voice while the girl smiled at him.

"I'm thrilled that you asked me to come here," Jen said, showing off that smile that made Danny loved.

"Look…I…I have to be honest with you, I know that we haven't known each other very long…but I really like you…a lot," Danny said, his heart still fluttering.

Jen smiled widened when she heard that.

"I like you too, Danny," She said with a smile that made him all goofy inside.

Focus, Fenton…you got a job to do here. Danny thought as he tried to stay focus and say what he wants to tell her.

"Look, I think we have a connection…I can't lie, I have been out with a lot of girls since I joined the service, and while I did grow to care about many of them, you're the one who I couldn't stop thinking about the most," Danny said, seeing a small blush form on her face.

"I got some other girls who wanted me as their next date, but you're the one whom I want to be with here today," Danny said.

How many girls could he get? Caitlin tried to calculate the social math in her head, but she got distracted by her La Truffle Salad.

"Oh, this looks good."

Nikki shushed her friend as Chicken Marengo appeared in front of her.

Danny smiled and took a deep breath, needing to do this now before he lost his nerves.

"Jen, I think you're amazing…you're beautiful, nice, strong, and so fun to be around. I think we truly have something between us. Something special. I like you…so…what I am trying to say is Jen Masterson, will you please go out with me?" Danny said in a timid voice.

"Hmm…kids got guts," Nikki commented. Caitlin nodded as she ate her salad.

"Oh Danny, of course, I will," Jen said in happiness, and Danny found himself smiling goofy when she started kissing him on the cheek.

"You…You mean it?" Danny said in disbelief, while the cute blonde giggled.

"Of course, I really like you. I'd love to go out with you," Jen said in a sweet tone before she kissed his other cheek, just like their first date.

Jen said, yes...YES! Danny thought dreamily

"Awww," Nikki cooed. The moment that sound came out of her mouth, Nikki covered it and looked at Caitlin, who looked like she could tear up at any moment. Nikki was glad her blonde friend was too preoccupied to hear her.

After finishing their meals, Nikki and Caitlin left the restaurant to let two lovebirds be. They were at least convinced that Danny was a good guy. They'd let him be…for now.

Jonesy had arrived at the You+Me=Love! Counter the next day. The man said nothing about a uniform, so Jonesy went in his usual clothes.

Near the counter, Deadpool was chatting with the clerk.

"I'm just saying, this breaks the fourth wall more than usual. You're talking to the guy directly," Deadpool took a sip from a blue mug. "I mean, this has to be going further than normal, and I leave reviews. Not to mention I do this for a living. Ain't that right folks."

"Wade, it's part of the story," BeConFuzzled Writer said. "It seemed like a good idea."

"Or a lazy one," Deadpool took another sip from the mug.

"Can I have my mug back?" the clerk reached for the mug as Deadpool placed it out of reach with each attempt.

Deadpool wanted to retort but noticed Jonesy walking over to the counter and thought it was time to leave. He had no business with the teen anyway…yet.

"Gotta run, places to see, wrongs to right, bad guys to butcher. You know how it is," Deadpool placed the blue mug back o9n the counter. "Thanks for the coffee. You really should watch how much cream and honey you put in it."

Deadpool moonwalked away. As the merc passed Jonesy, he waved and said, "Hey."

"Uh...who was that guy you were talking to?" Jonesy pointed with his thumb.

"Oh, that was Deadpool, he stops by from time to time," BeConfuzzled writer said with a shrug. "Turns out he's a fan of the service. Who knew?"

"Does he come around often?" Jonesy wasn't sure what to think about the guy.

"Doesn't matter," The clerk stated matter-o-factly and patted a chair next to him. "Now, sit down, and I can explain how to do things."

Jonesy noticed the blue mug and inspected it when he saw a familiar face.

"Um…Mr. BeConFuzzled? Does this mug have that Deadpool guy on it?" Jonesy wasn't sure how to take that sight.

"Yeah…that how he advertises his job," BeConFuzzled Writer took the mug back from Jonesy. "Besides, I like it."

"What does that guy do?" Jonesy was scared of Deadpool now.

"So let me get you started on the basics in the service," the clerk began, ignoring Jonesy's question.

Jonesy took a seat and listened well…until he heard all, he wanted to hear. He wouldn't have a chance to search for Danny until he was alone. So, 'the Jonesmeister' thought it was best to wait right now.

"So, you really got the tickets?" Jen was excited. The last date they had was interrupted by Dash, and they didn't see anything. Hopefully, this time would be different. "How? I thought they were sold out."

"They were, but I have my ways," Danny thought back to earlier that day when he was bargaining with Tucker. He was the only one, Danny knew that had the connections to get the tickets. And that was against his techno-geek philosophies.

"For the last time Danny, no," Tucker was adamant about not using his skills for the purpose of sports. There was barely a geek that didn't agree, excluding the sports geek.

"Tucker, please. You're my only hope. I need you, Tucker Foley," Danny tried everything he could think of, but not even those lines greased Tucker's wheels. "There's got to be something."

Tucker thought about it. To his surprise, there was nothing that got his attention, except for one thing, Velma. He picked her for his second date, but she and her friends were going on a cross country mystery tour. Despite the ghosts, Amity Park had no real mysteries. Unless…Tucker had an idea.

"A favor," Tucker uttered.

"Say what?" Danny blinked.

"You heard me. A favor. You scratch my back I scratch yours. Get it?" Tucker stretched his hand out. "Deal?"

Danny thought about it. On the one hand, this was Tucker, his best friend, he wouldn't go too far. Would he? On the other hand, Danny didn't want to use his powers irresponsibly. So...

"Nothing illegal or crosses a line," Danny made that clear. Tucker nodded his head, and the two shook hands.

"Really?" Jen gave him a smirk. "Care to share?"

"If you think I'm giving up my secrets like that, you're going to have to wait," Danny tried to play it cool. A concept he was not familiar with.

"Ooo…, Mr. Mysterious," Jen commented as she thought. I like that.

Jen grabbed Danny's hand as the two made their way to the stadium.

"Who takes dating this seriously?" Jonesy asked no one. The teen finally had some time to himself after hearing of the many rules, regulations, and regimens to follow at You+Me=Love!, it made a school day seem short.

BeConfuzzled Writer made the process of putting two teens together on a date like some matter of national security or something, with how serious he and everyone else seems to treat this.

Especially with their "biggest" rule.

Remember, all customer personal data is strictly confidential, and that includes their real names and whom they are paired up with. Jonesy remembered what BeConfuzzled Writer said before leaving him to do his job. And to find Deadpool for taking his wallet for chimichangas.

Leaving Jonesy or 'The Jonesmeister' to man the fort...or do what he really wanted to do.

Well, since the boss man is out, let's see if I can finally dig up some dirt on this Danny guy. Jonesy thought as he logged onto the sight's computer and went to the database, which has info on every single one of their clients and their profiles, along with their dates and choices.

"Now, let's see...Jen said that Danny's username was D-Fenton," Jonesy muttered as he continued to look.

After scrolling through many, many profiles, and dates, the teen finally managed to find Danny's profile and all the data on it.

"Here it is," Jonesy said to himself as he clicked on the file, more eager than ever to find out just who Danny Fenton is and what makes him so unique.

"D-Fenton…Amity Park…average fourteen-year-old boy…blah blah blah…here we go," Jonesy clicked on the results tab. Jonesy thought Danny would be alright with the ladies, but after seeing the results, Jonesy would contort his face into every single cartoon facial exaggeration, if he could, when he saw Danny's second dates.

"I can't wait. The Bakers Vs. The White Tigers. This is gonna rock!" Jen said in excitement while she still held Danny's hand.

"Anything for my girl," Danny said while Jen blushed at the remark and kissed him on the cheek. Nothing could get in their way this time. But the lovebirds were soon proven wrong. When they made it to the stadium, they heard a loud, angry, obnoxious voice.

"SOLD OUT! YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" shouted a familiar and annoying voice. Danny and Jen turned to the source and saw Dash Baxter.

"Not him again," Jen groaned in disgust.

"Let's get in before he sees us," Danny whispered. Jen nodded in agreement as the two made their way around the jock.

Unfortunately, it was too late, Dash saw them and, as predicted, marched up to Danny. No doubt to try bullying him to vent out his frustrations, as usual.

"What are you doing here, loser?" 'Dash talked with indignation at Danny.

"He's on a date with me," Jen said in an assertive voice, and Dash sent her a glare. "Now, buzz off."

Dash saw Jen and thought of a better way to vent his frustration…by stealing Danny's date.

"Hey, babe," Dash did not recognize, or remember, Jen. "You like quarterbacks? I got a date right now, but there's more than enough for two."

"Seriously," Jen had her other hand up in Dash's face. "If I didn't say yes, the first time, what makes you think I will say yes now?"

Dash, mad that Jen rejected his advances, went from flirting her to being as rude as he is to Danny. Jen's opinion on him kept getting worse and worse, especially when he saw the tickets in their hands.

"How the heck did you get tickets? You know what? Never mind. Hand them over, Fentonosky!" Dash said as he cracked his knuckles.

"You can't be serious, Dash," Danny exclaimed, unable to believe that Dash has reached so low that he tried to threaten him to take his and Jen's tickets. Then again, maybe he shouldn't be too surprised.

"Oh, you did not just threaten my boyfriend! Go get your own!" Jen said in anger.

"Get lost, Red. Fenton, I am serious. I said to hand them over now, my date Michelle will be here soon, and I promised her tickets. Do it, or you will have a black eye that will last until next semester!" Dash threatened, and Jen wasn't letting him mess with her man.

"Danny isn't giving you anything, now get lost, you loser. I am not letting you ruin another date between us," Jen said in anger as she got between Danny and the big bully.

"I said, 'get lost, babe.' I don't hit girls," Dash said. Jen glared at the sexist statement.

"That's fine, I don't mind hitting guys!"Jen snapped at him while Danny tried to hold her back.

"Jen, calm down," Danny said, worried for his girlfriend, while Dash got angrier.

"Hand them over, ya dweeb," Dash shouted as he lifted Danny up by his collar and raised his fist.

Danny, being fed up with Dash's attempts to spoil his dates and this new low, decided to go with his gut on this one. Danny was careful to make a part of his shirt, specifically the area in Dash's hand, intangible without making it noticeable, making Danny fall out of his grasp, much to Dash's confusion. Danny and Jen made a dash to the stadium.

"What?! You get back here, you dweebs," Dash shouted as he ran after them, only to be halted by the security guard.

"Ticket, kid," He ordered. This gave Dash an idea he got from a movie.

"Those losers have my tickets! Get them!" Dash pointed to Danny and Jen, who gasped at his accusation.

"You mean that kid you almost hit? The one that's almost half your size? I find that hard to believe," The security guard said. Dash was shocked, he didn't count on anyone witnessing his bullying attempt. And forgotten he wasn't at school, so being a high school quarterback meant nothing.

"I was about to break you two up, but now I think you should come with me," The security guard said as he grabbed him by the arm and tried taking him away, despite Dash's protests.

"HEY, LET GO! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! THERE THE ONES AT FAULT! NOT ME! NO! I GOT A DATE! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! IT'S NOT FAIR!" Dash shouted as the security guard hauled him away to be punished.

Not much later, a girl named Michelle Lynne Clarke, whom Dash was supposed to go out with today, appeared and saw that neither Dash nor her ticket to watch the game was here, and she got mad.

"Oh man, I should have known Dash couldn't pull through. What a loser. I guess that's what I get for dating a younger guy," Michelle muttered to herself in anger as she left this area, not knowing or caring about Dash, who was in the security room as the guard called his parents. Who, no doubt, would severely punish him.

Danny and Jen managed to watch the basketball game in peace. Jen was so happy to enjoy the game and have a great date. She wrapped her arm around Danny's as she leaned into him.

"Basketball is great, but I like sports with more...snow and ice," Jen said offhand. Danny chuckled at the comment. "What's so funny?"

"It's funny because I'm more of an ice guy too. It feels…right. Besides, the cold never bothered me anyway."

"Oh my Gawd," Jen laughed as she nudged Danny. "That's so corny."

The two shared a kiss when the kiss cam landed on them, with the added cheer of the audience. So overall, it was a pretty satisfying day for them.

After the game, the two spent some time at the Amity mall.

"That was an amazing game," Jen stretched her arms due to holding Danny's most of the game. "What did you think, Danny?"

"It was nice," Danny was not a sports fan. Though that could have been justified due to being constantly bullied by jocks. "But now I wish we could have caught that hockey game a while back."

"You sure?" Jen gave a curious look. "Because Hockey can be…violent sometimes. Not as much as before, but there are sometimes fights."

Danny thought back to the numerous and deadly fights from his first encounters with ghosts: the time Skulker put a knife to his throat, the time he was chased through the woods by ghastly animal ghosts in the forest without his powers, or the time his mom had a bazooka aimed at him. Thinking back, Danny realized he still got her something for Mother's Day.

"I think I can manage," Danny gave a mischievous grin. Something that Jen found attractive.

He's not a sports guy, but I get the feeling there's more to him. Jen thought. She realized that the date wasn't over and noticed some familiar faces in the mall.

"Hey, you want to meet my friends?" Jen pointed towards the lemon. Danny was a bit hesitant. Sure they were dating, but meeting a group of teens older than you and getting along with them was not considered part of the natural teen order. Then again, he and Jen hit it off. How bad could it be?

"You think Jonesy actually found anything about Danny?" Wyatt asked. Today had been a slow day. The most important thing he did was grab his usual cup of joe.

"I can't believe there was a clause in the form that got him a job," Nikki said with a tone of disbelief. "I mean, who does that?"

"You+Me=Love!" Jude stated like it was common knowledge. Nikki chuckled. Jude was a great friend, but sometimes he didn't understand the point of a conversation.

"I'll admit, it does seem a little…odd," Caitlin stood in the lemon and poured everyone a glass of lemonade, except Wyatt, who still had his cup of coffee. "But I can't say they don't know what they were doing. I mean, look at Jen. Danny's a pretty nice guy."

"You met him?" Jude asked. Wyatt stopped drinking and looked at the girls.

"Not really," Nikki snarked. Caitlin got us a table near them, and we heard some things."

"Like?" Jude was curious. He and Wyatt leaned in as Caitlin took a seat with her friends. The blonde girl was beaming.

"Please don't squee," Nikki deadpanned, she got enough of the sound effect at work. The clones there could squee at anything. Caitlin nodded with a tinge of red in her face.

"He was really nice. He brought Jen flowers. And the way he came out and spoke his feelings…" Caitlin closed her eyes with the biggest smile on her face. "It was beautiful."

"Oh, really?" Wyatt raised a brow. He turned to Nikki, who nodded in agreement to Caitlin. Now the boys were confused, there was no one like that back home. Well, they believed no one did.

"Kid's alright," Nikki commented.

"What did he look like?" Jude casually asked.

"Actually, you're not going to believe this," Nikki chuckled a little.

"What? Is he super handsome for his age?" Wyatt took a sip of his coffee as Jonesy arrived at the scene. He looked exhausted. It was as if he had seen a ghost. However, that was not the case…yet.

"No," Caitlin stated. "In fact, he wasn't tall, handsome, or every athletic," Caitlin counted with her fingers. "He was shorter than Jen and kinda scrawny. Still got some baby fat on his face, but he's cute."

"Seriously!?" Jonesy exclaimed. His presence now noticed by his friends. Jude walked up to the teen with his casual, relaxed vibe.

"Dude," Jude had a fist in the air, but Jonesy put it down.

"Not now, Jude," Jonesy's rejection of the fist bump was offputting.

"You OK?" Jude was concerned with his friend, as were the others.

"You're not gonna believe what I found out about Jen's boyfriend," Jonesy grabbed Jude's shoulders for emphasis. But before he uttered a word, someone else commandeered the conversation.

"Hey guys," Jen said with a kick in her step. "This is my boyfriend, Danny."

"Hi," Danny meekly waved at the group, which everyone, sans Jonesy, returned.

"Hey."

"Wat up?"

"Hi."

"Hey."

Jonesy just stared at Danny, which did not go unnoticed, but no one wanted to make the boy feel anxious. Wyatt got up and shook Danny's hand to break the ice.

"I'm Wyatt, and this is Jude, Caitlin, Jonesy, and Nikki," Wyatt pointed to each by name. "Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you," Danny looked to everyone. "As well as the rest of you."

"So, you're the dude Jen seeing," Jude walked over to take a closer look. He gave Danny a once over, faced Caitlin, nodded, then headed back to his seat.

"What was that about?" Jen eyed Caitlin suspiciously. The blonde girl hid behind the counter.

"Sorry, Jen. Nikki and me wanted to know a little more because when we saw Danny, well…"

"We thought he would be taller," Nikki finished the sentence.

"No offense or anything," Caitlin stood up from behind the counter. "but normally teens date within their age range. Like at least a one-year difference."

"Is that why you two were holding up your menus?" Danny gave Caitlin and Nikki a smirk

"You saw them at lunch?" Jen was confused, but Danny gave her a small laugh.

"They were at a table behind you and had their menu's up the whole time. I was wondering why."

Nikki chuckled, but Caitlin…

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to be inconspicuous." Caitlin covered her face up.

"I don't think having your menus up while eating means inconspicuous," Danny pointed out. The smirk had become a smile, but neither girl minded as everyone took the time to giggle and laugh at the antic. Jonesy still remained quiet and did not take his eyes off of Danny. Jen noticed this and decided that she and Danny could look around together a bit before calling it a day.

"Well, listen," Jen grabbed Danny's hand. "Danny and I are gonna look around for a bit longer. Catch you guys later?"

"Sure," the gang said one by one.

The two took off, but when they got out of earshot Danny had to ask-

"Was that guy at the end a friend of yours too?"

Jen looked back at Jonesy, who still was staring.

"Yeah. That's Jonesy. His dad and my mom are dating. He's usually more…Jonesy than that." Jen was perplexed by her friend's behavior. But she figured it was for the best.

They weren't the only ones who noticed. After what felt like minutes, everyone went over to Jonesy and dragged him back to the table.

"OK, Jonesy, I'll bite. Why didn't you say anything to Danny?" Wyatt asked, then remembered the dating service. "Did you get fired again?"

Jonesy wanted to answer but then remembered when he found out about Danny's dates.

"Twenty-Eight dates!" Jonesy screamed.

"Who got twenty-eight dates?" asked a teen with orange hair and glasses named Mikey. He had a form for the dating service and Jonesy had ignored him and his friends the whole time.

"This kid named Danny—"

"Jonesy!" Unbeknownst to Jonesy, his supervisor, BeConfuzzled Writer, was nearby and heard the whole thing. "you just broke our worker-customer confidentiality policy! You're fired!"

"Why am I not surprised," Wyatt dryly remarked and shook his head.

"OK, yes, that happened, but," Jonesy continued to stare at Danny, even though his back was turned, and pointed at him. "That kid scored the highest second dates in the history of the You+Me=Love! dating service."

"Oh, come one, so he got like what thirteen dates?" Wyatt took a drink from his coffee.

"He got...twenty-eight dates," Jonesy said with a neutral tone. Wyatt spat his coffee onto Jude, who was shocked as the rest.

Caitlin dropped any lemon she held as the blender when haywire on it. Lemon juice spilled everywhere, but she did not care. Nikki was rendered speechless again, as she could only manage to let a gasping sound with a pointed finger.

Wyatt spoke up first.

"Twenty-eight girls?!" Wyatt exclaimed.

"I know," Jonesy said, still looking flabbergasted.

"Jonesy, are you sure? Wait, how do you know it's not another Danny?" Nikki questioned.

"I am sure. The info I got specifically says Danny Fenton, aka D-Fenton, holds the record for most second dates," Jonesy said.

"Record?" Wyatt felt like his number was small for a moment.

"Almost every girl who went out with him picked him," Jonesy said, trying to hide his jealousy. "Not only that but two of the girls he went out with, Kim and Felicia, I also went out with them. They were these mega hotties, especially Felicia, I mean it, she had this body that was so—"

Before Jonesy could finish that statement, Nikki stomped on his foot to silence him.

"Focus! Where are you going with this?" Nikki demanded both out of annoyance and mild jealousy.

"Ouch! OK, look, they were hot, and I mean HOT, but they didn't pick me. They picked Danny!" Jonesy said, surprising the others once again.

"Seriously," Jude could not believe his ears.

"Jude, this may seem hard to understand. So let me give you the list I printed out," Jonesy pulled from his pocket a list of the second dates Danny got. Everyone took turns reading the list, with each face more shocked than the last. Well…for the boys at least.

"I'll say this," Nikki commented as she read the list. "Kid knows how to treat a woman."

"Definitely," Caitlin joined in as she looked at the list again.

"Seriously, man!? Come on!" Jonesy found a chair to sulk in as Wyatt and Jude comforted him with pats on the back.

While Jonesy was in a state of misery, Caitlyn's face went from excitement to fascination as she reread the list.

"Wow, twenty-eight girls all wanted him. Hmm...I should ask if he has a brother. Or at least some cute friends," Caitlin thought out loud, to the annoyance of Nikki.

"Seriously?" Nikki wanted to be surprised, but figure Caitlin would say something like that.

One thing was for sure the gang would have a long talk with Jen next time. As they would with Danny as well.

So Danny and Jen had their second date and it seems familiar. Where have I seen this snippet before? Jen's friends have met Danny, and they know of Danny's success. How will this affect their view of Danny? The answers lies in the next chapter of Danny and Jen.

Special Thanks to Flower Princess11 and NeoMark for the help.

And a special thanks to Deadpool for giving me back my wallet and not interrupting this endnote.

You're welcome. You got any chimichangas?

In the kitchen on the counter. They're still warm.

Thanks.

Reviews:

Luiz4200: And now she wants to know if Danny has brothers or a cute friend. I think there is one friend in mind.

61394: I honestly forgot you could do that. It's fine though. I like this better. More story for everyone. Yeah, Wyatt may not be the kind of guy to suggest that. Been rewatching the show for this story.

NeoMark: Thank you for the review and help.

Dreams Come True 996: I haven't focused on Jude and Wyatt's dates yet. As for the gang in Amity Park, they are there already. Work exchange program. From Danny's first date with Jen, she said that Caitlin has a cousin, whose place they are staying at.

Guest: Thanks. I am happy to hear your suggestion. Provided it doesn't make the story veer too far off-topic or make the rating go higher. It's at the limit with a T rating.

UltraPhantom: I hope this chapter was worth the wait.
