A Date to be Proud Of

"He-"

He was hit in the face with a pie.

"There he is!" The voice of Dot Warner went.

"Payback time!" Wakko Warner was heard saying.

"This'll teach you not to include our series in this take!" Yakko Warner went with an annoyed voice.

NeoMark wiped the pie out of his face.

"Uh… what?" NeoMark went.

"FP11 was smart enough to put us in here!" Yakko went.

"YEAH!" Wakko went.

"YEAH!" Dot said.

"Plus, we had a reboot that lasted 3 seasons! We totally should have gotten a shot!" Yakko went.

"Your reboot didn't even exist at the time!" NeoMark said.

"Even so!" Yakko went with fists at hips.

NeoMark groaned.

"Fine… your dinner tonight's on me." He went in defeat.

"YAY!" The Warners went.

"You're on the path to being forgiven." Yakko went as he wrapped an arm around Neo's neck.

"Food!" Wakko went.

"You're going broke tonight, Mr "I wish I could put that pink girl with horns who shoots acid in here" nerd!" Dot went with a glare in her eyes before smiling. "BY-YEE!" She went.

The three began to leave the area in their preferred method.

"Boingy! Boingy! Boingy! Boingy!" They went.

Neo rolled his eyes and shut the door before turning his head to see Deadpool looking in amusement.

"You knew that'd happen, didn't you?" NeoMark asks in a knowing and upset tone.

"Yup, sure knew this'd be a bait-and-switch of people thinking it'd be an author for the start of this chapter." Deadpool said.

Another knock at his door occurred, and Neo assumed who this could be.

"Would you three ju-" He paused upon seeing it's not the Warners.

"Uh… hi."

A heavyset man, 32 years old, with glasses, came out of a portal. He wore a red shirt, blue jeans, and black and white gym shoes. Pokemon fan 1991, or PFN for short.

"It's so nice to finally meet you in one of these stories. This is not the first time someone got hit with a pie when it involved me. Number Boy learned the hard way when my version of Deadpool got upset that he broke up the versions of Kim and Ben from After the Many Dates Danny and Kitty…" PFN said.

"I should really catch up on all that." Neo said.

"If nothing else of my work, I'd recommend chapters 76 through 79 of Danny and Kitty." 61394 said with a wave after he'd appeared. "It's where I show the girls who I didn't pair with Danny, who they ended up with and their happy ending or creative ways to-"

"Where'd you come from?" NeoMark asks.

"Around." 61394 said.

"So, what'd I miss?" PFN asks,

"Okay… we're in the home stretch, but here's who has been here in order." Neo went before listing off. "Kim Possible, Samantha Simpsons from Totally Spies, Gwen Tennyson from Ben 10: Alien Force, Abby Archer from Grossology, Leni Loud from The Loud House, Marinette Dupain-Cheng from Miraculous, Sakura Kasugano from Street Fighter, Lapis Lazuli from Steven Universe, Cree Lincoln from Codename: Kids Next Door, Violet Parr from The Incredibles, Jen from 6Teen, Daphne Blake from Scooby-Doo, Star from Star vs The Forces of Evil, Wendy Corduroy from Gravity Falls, Melissa Chase from Milo Murphy's Law, April O'Neil from the 2012 incarnation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Bridgette from Total Drama, Vanessa Doofenshmirtz from Phineas & Ferb, Kula Diamond from The King of Fighters, Makoto Kino from Sailor Moon… specifically the 90's anime, and Yuki Kusakaba from Interviews with Monster Girls."

"Neat! My favorites are Marinette and Sam." PFN said.

"And Penny Proud's next!" Deadpool went, earning a glare from NeoMark. "Look at the title dude! Who'd you think people would assume this was? Lilith from Darkstalkers?"

"Fair enough…" Neo grumbled before adopting a friendly tone with PFN. "Care to see?"

"I am so ready for this! " PFN went with excitement as he sat down.

"Oh my gosh, this is going to be the greatest chapter I've ever seen in my life…" Chester A Bum said.

"What's he doing here?" NeoMark said.

"I can't bring my Deadpool, so he's tagging along." PFN said.

"Sorry, we already got one pre-existing fictional character in here." Deadpool went.

"Yeah, the position of the dude who annoys the audience is already taken." Deadpool said.

"Sorry, Chester…" PFN said.

"I understand…" Chester went, leaving the room.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Danny Fenton to meet Penny Proud…" PFN announced.

"Yeah, leave the "talking to the kids and non-kids" part to me." Deadpool said.

"I'm excited to see what's going to happen, seeing as I almost went with Penny." 61394 said.


Danny had returned home with a somewhat satisfied look on his face. He thought of Yuki, and how she reminded him somewhat of his own dilemma.

A young person with abilities related to the supernatural, granted their origins were different. One gaining powers from an accident, the other born with them through a dormant gene.

Then there was her crush on Danny Phantom, something he found amusing. He saw how the girl seemed to like him while crushing on his alter ego.

I'd have told her, but she left before I could talk. Then there was that intrusive friend of hers. He thought.

Despite this, he thought Yuki was pretty cute and her laughter was somewhat adorable. As such, he gave her an 8.

He then got a text from Tucker, reading it out loud.

"Got home after the first date after I changed my profile. Her name was Hikari and she's a blonde from Japan. I don't think she was really into dating, admitting she only did it so her friend wouldn't feel alone. Still, we had fun, I got her email, but we're just friends. Giving her a 7 since we're not exactly interested but I think she's at least cool to keep in touch with. She already calls me "Tucker-kins" as a cute nickname." He read out loud before a thought came to him. "I wonder if it's the same Hikari? Must be, right?" He asks out loud before shrugging with a smile. "Still… at least he's met a decent person, even if she's not into him."

WIth that, he read who his next date is.

User Name: Penny P.

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Height: 5"3'

Weight: 110 lbs

Home Town: Wizville, USA

Physical Description: Short, slender African American teenage girl with brown eyes and long black hair.

Personality: I consider myself an independent go-getter, honest and intelligent and I want a fine guy who can treat me with respect and honesty.

Likes and Interests: Reading, poetry, shopping, writing, music and sports (especially football)

Type of person I wish to date: Like I said, I am a simple girl, just looking for a nice, fine guy who can make me laugh, treat me with respect and it wouldn't hurt if he knew how to have fun.

Danny nodded upon reading this.

"She sounds… normal. And the first girl in a while who isn't from Japan. But for all I know, she's probably an invader from space or a secret ninja or something." Danny joked out loud before seeing what time it was. "Better grab a bite."

As he got up, he wondered what Yuki was up to.


Elsewhere

Yuki and Hikari were in their hotel room as Hikari grinned at her roommate as she tried to read manga.

"Knock it off…" Yuki went.

"Can't help it. You like two guys of the same name." Hikari went cheerfully.

"Oh, and I suppose your date was horrible?" Yuki asks with mild annoyance.

"Nope. Tucker-kins was a fun guy once you get to know him." Hikari went.

As Yuki rolled her eyes, she got up and headed to the door.

"I'm going to grab a soda…" She said.

As she stepped out, someone almost knocked into her.

"Uh oh!" The girl went, stopping in place. "So sorry!" She went.

"Oh… it's fine…" Yuki told the girl in a different school uniform with the headband.

"Sakura! Did you see if they had any ice cream?" Another called out from down the hall.

"Yes, but it's one serving per customer, Kei!" Sakura called back.

As the two girls spoke, Yuki thought of that name.

Sakura? And she's here? She thought before seeing Sakura starting to head back to her room.

"Excuse me?" Yuki asks, Japanese translated to English. "Would you be Kasugano Sakura?"

"Huh? Yes. I don't believe we've met though." Sakura responded.

"We haven't. My name is Kusakabe Yuki. Earlier this month, did you date a boy named Danny?" She asks.

"Danny-san? I have, actually. He's a nice boy." Sakura said with a smile.

"She kissed him to get bullies off his back!" Kei was heard calling out, causing Sakura to blush in embarrassment.

"I told you that in confidence!" Sakura shouted,

"I said I'd never let Kanzuki find out, that's it!" Kei was heard calling back.

Hearing this, Hikari wrapped her arm around Yuki.

"Oh my! She kissed him? Well, looks like you got competition." Hikari went.

Grumbling, Yuki pulled herself free.

"I'm getting a soda." She insisted as she started to storm off.

As Hikari snickered before closing the door, Sakura's curiosity got the better of her as he walked to follow Yuki.

"Excuse me? Kusakabe?" Sakura called out, getting her attention.

"Yes?" Yuki.

"So, what did you think of Danny?" Sakura asks with a smile.

"Oh? Uhh…" Yuki's eyes darted around, trying to find an answer. "I think… he's great."

"Oh? A very… spirited guy?" Sakura went with a wink. "The kind of guy who wouldn't… ghost you?" Another wink. "He's… phan-tastic?" A third wink before seeing Yuki make no reaction.

"Something wrong with your eye?" Yuki asks,

"N-No…" Sakura went, stopping it. "So… nothing happened? Your life wasn't in danger or anything?" Sakura asks before realizing how her question could be misinterpreted. "Because… of the ghosts in this town?" She added quickly.

"Well… not gonna lie, I did get scared by a ghost. But Danny Phantom saved me." Yuki then blushed and had a big smile. "Not gonna lie, I kind of have kind of a soft spot for him. But… I won't pick Danny Fenton just to meet Phantom again, I'm just wondering who I want to see more." Yuki admits.

Seeing this, Sakura nodded and had a smile.

"Personally, since I don't see you as a rival or anything, I say pick Fenton. He might surprise you more than you think." Sakura said with a thumb's up.

"Okay." Yuki went before nodding. "Thank you, Kasugano." She said graciously before leaving.

Once she was gone, Sakura scratched the side of her head.

"I guess Danny-san doesn't let every girl he meets know. Then again, I just got lucky because he's terrible at fighting without his… secret weapon." Sakura said before deciding to return to her room.

As she passed Yuki's room, she failed to notice it was cracked open and someone overheard.

"What's this? Fighting? This sounds juicy!" Hikari overheard with a big smile.


"Ah, since the first story had a bit with Katie at the start of this date, you decided to do the same. Clever." Deadpool went.

"Plus, two of Danny's previous dates meet each other, which never happened in the original story…" PFN said.

"Unless you want to count Kara and Barbara knowing each other in pretty much every continuity since the DCAU." 61394 chimed in. "Also, wow. If Sakura ever becomes Ryu's apprentice, can I recommend the first lesson be in subtlety?"

'Well, Street Fighter 6 shows… that's not a thing.' NeoMark said.


The Next Day, 3PM at the Movie Theater

Danny had arrived at the movie theater where his next date will take place. His hair and clothes were neat, his flowers were in his hands and he glanced at his watch as he wondered if she's on her way.

"As fun as Kula, Lita and Yuki were, I'm hoping for less deep secrets this time." He said to himself.

While he had nothing against the girls he dated for their own secrets, he was hoping for someone more open with him and not hiding anything.

Soon, he saw a girl around his age appear. She is just like her profile described her. A short girl, about a few inches shorter than him, of African American ancestry, with big, brown eyes, long black hair that is tied in pony tails, and he noticed that she has a little beauty mark on her cheek. She is also wearing a magenta-red sweater, white dress shirt underneath, burgundy skirt, white socks, magenta-red shoes, making her look a little preppy.

She seems cute. Here's hoping. Danny thought as he sent her a smile.

"Hello there, you must be Penny P..." Danny said as he greeted her.

"Just Penny... Penny Proud..." She introduced herself.

"It's nice to meet you Penny... I'm D-Fenton, Danny Fenton...these are for you…" Danny said as he handed her the flowers.

"Wow, these are pretty...thank you..." Penny said, showing off a cute smile.

"After you…" Danny opened the door for her.

"Thank you..." Penny said as she walked through.

Danny soon followed, and thus, their blind date began.


"So it begins." PFN said.

"So, I'm not gonna bother with asking why she's here. She was a popular pick for the original, especially since she was among the top 10 and a character I'm sure people requested in droves. Plus, at the time of this writing, she hasn't had her Many Kids appearance yet but I know people are waiting for it.." Deadpool said.

"I sense something is about to be brought up." NeoMark said.

Deadpool and PFN nodded.

"So… I guess we should address the elephant in the room… one that I'm sure people have been talking about…" PFN said with much seriousness. "Namely… Louder and Prouder."

"Oh wonderful…" NeoMark grumbled. "Okay… let me make something clear here! This is an alternate universe where the story still happened in late 2018-2019! Louder and Prouder was probably only discussed at this point… but that's it! It hadn't actually happened yet, so it doesn't have any relevance in why I chose Penny to return! I won't lie, I like her appearance in Louder and Prouder more than the original! I like the background and visuals of Louder and Prouder but I'm not going to discuss much else about the show. Just know that we're only using what was available before December 2018, which means we're sticking to the OG series!" NeoMark said.

"Well, I do enjoy certain things from Louder and Prouder, even though it does have some controversial moments, like Trudy changing the locks on Penny when she was being disobedient. She was 14, and she could have gotten hurt or worse. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of negative things that happened in that series, but there are some positives, like the Bebe episode and Suga Mama's two-part episode…" PFN said.

"I only saw the first season of Louder and Prouder." 61394 began "And my problems started literally in the pilot episode with Sticky moving away just to be replaced with knock off Sticky, instead of just getting a replacement for Orlando Brown. I also don't like how after Maya treated Penny like dirt and could have gotten her arrested breaking into the zoo to free the singing Panda. She's friends w-"

"Uh… Number Boy?" NeoMark asks, getting his attention. "We gotta hurry this up, since we're in the last third of the dates and I kind of need to post this soon."

"Fine…" 61394 said.

With a nod, Deadpool pressed play so that they could continue.


Inside

Danny and Penny had bought their tickets and snacks. Now seated at a theater, Danny was relieved that Penny wanted to see the same film as he.

"Oh, this is going to rock, I've been wanting to see "It Came from Planet Red" since I saw the trailer..." Danny said as he took his seat.

"Me too." Penny said as the theater's lights were still on.

They knew that it would be a while before their movie officially starts, so what better time to start trying to get to know each other.

"So Penny, tell me all about yourself?" Danny asked,

"Well...I was born and grew up in Wizville, I just turned 14...I live with my parents, my baby brother and sister BeBe and CeCe and my Suga Mama...sort of..." Penny muttered the last part.

"Suga Mama?...'Danny questioned.

"That's what we call my grandmother, my dad's momma..."Penny answered. "I go to Willy T. Ribbs Middle School, I'm in the ninth grade...I like singing, shopping, hanging out with my friends, going to poetry slams and reading. What about you?"

"Well, I live in Amity Park, I go to Casper High, I live with my parents and my older sister Jazz...I live playing video games, listening to music, bowling and astronomy..." Danny said. 'So, if you're from Wizville, what brings you out here?...'Danny asked.

Penny then pouted, almost like she didn't want to be asked that.

"My parents are friends with this other family, the Boulevardez, and they own a summer home near here and they invited us to spend the summer here...not that I had any say in the matter…" Penny muttered.

"Uh...sorry..." Danny said in confusion.

"It's nothing against you or this town, but it's just that there is this girl, LaCienega, she's the daughter of the family and she is a major pain half of the time…" Penny muttered.

"Oh...rough…" Danny said, now understanding the situation.

Sounds like when Aunt Alicia stayed with us for Thanksgiving 2 years ago. What a fun time explaining it to the cops that was… He thought in sarcasm.

"Eh, it's not so bad. At least my other friends, Zoey and Dijonay, tagged along for the trip too. Heck, it was their idea to try this blind dating thing and well, they talked me into it...'Penny chuckled.

"Looks like we started more or less the same...my friend Tucker talked me into trying this…" Danny said.

"I see…" Penny said.


"Okay, you can skip now." PFN said.

That got Deadpool and NeoMark surprised.

"Really?" They asked in unison.

"Yeah, already knowing what was gonna happen next. I figure the stuff of them seeing the movie is pretty much the same, minus the trauma from Katie. I think we don't need to relive the entire thing." PFN said.

"Wow… most of the time, people are surprised when he does this." NeoMark said as Deadpool pressed fast forward.

"I thought it was an homage to Lion King 1 and ½. Not that I'm complaining because I think that movie's funny." 61394 admitted


After the movie

Penny and Danny were now in the yogurt shop, having already bought their purchases. Now they were eating their fro-yo and talking.

"So, you're on the football team at your school?" Danny questioned.

"This year's MVP..." Penny said proudly.

"I never would have guessed…" Danny said.

"What, you think a girl can't play the game..."Penny accused him with a frown.

"No, of course not, I think girls can kick serious butt when they want to. It's just that at my school, most of the football players are guys that are either morons, jerks or both. You seem like a reasonable person with a brain in their head..." Danny said.

Penny dropped her frown.

"Oh..." She said, unsure how to answer that.

"Look, I didn't mean to diss the game .I guess I was being a little biased..." Danny apologized.

However, before Penny could say anything else, another person came up to them and Penny smiled at the sight of them.

"Zoey!" Penny stated as she saw her red-headed best friend.

"Hey, Penny. So is this your date over here?" Zoey asks.

"Yeah, his name is Danny Fenton. Danny, this is one of my best friends, Zoey, that I told you about…" Penny introduced her date.

"Well, it is nice to meet you, Danny…" Zoey said.

"It's nice to meet you, Zoey…" Danny said.

"So you're here on a date, Zoey?" Penny asks

"Yeah, he just went to the bathroom. And he's a really nice guy even though he has a bad few, but he says he was told it was his profile and he changed it…" Zoey said.

Danny put two and two together and realized her date was Tucker.

Tucker came out of the bathroom and smiled when he saw his best friend and the girl who could be his date.

"Hey man, how's it going?" Tucker greeted the pair.

"Hey Tuck, how's it been going?" Danny asks.

"It has been going great. I am enjoying my date with Zoey…" Tucker answered.

Zoey blushed over Tucker's words of him enjoying the date that they were on.

"You two know each other?" Penny asks.

"Yup, Tucker is one of my best friends." Danny said.

"Small world." Zoey responded.

Penny was happy that one of her best friends was having a good date, and then that idea came to her. She tapped Danny's shoulder and whispered her idea to him. He nodded at Penny's idea.

"So since we are all here, maybe we can make this date into a double date…" Penny said.

"We're sorry, but we have something else we're doing this evening, but thanks for the invite." Tucker declined the offer.

"Okay, I hope you two have fun with whatever you're doing…" Danny said as the two friends left to finish their day.

"Take care." Zoey said as they walked further away while waving to them.

"Laters." Penny waved back.

"Good to see he's getting better dates now that he changed his profile description." Danny said.

As they enjoyed their frozen yogurt, a Latina girl came up to Penny.

"Oh great. Hey, Lacienega…" Penny groaned.

The girl was a Hispanic girl around their age with short midnight brown hair and brown eyes. She had the look of superiority Paulina normally had.

"Hey Proud, it seems you're on a blind date. And I see he didn't ditch you after seeing your big forehead…" The Hispanic girl said as Penny groaned.

"And who are you?" Danny asked, feeling insulted for Penny.

"I'm LaCienega Boulevardez, and as I said before, it seems that Proud is paired with a big loser like that one that Zoey is on a date with. Lucky that I didn't get paired with him…" She said snobbishly.

"Hey, that's my best friend that you're insulting!" Danny snapped.

"Oh, so that's why you look like such a loser…" La Cienega scoffed.

"LaCienga, please leave so I can enjoy my blind date with Danny…" Penny demanded her to go.

"Whatever Proud, you don't tell me what to do." LaCienga said, going nowhere.

"If you're not going to leave, then we should. Come on, Penny. Let's go." Danny stood up as Penny followed.

"Go ahead and leave, Dewey." LaCienega said.

"It's Danny, and LaCienga? I took a little bit of Spanish, and know that your name means Swampy…" Danny snarked.

"Haha! Swampy?!" Penny asks.

"W-what?!" LaCienega asks in anger.

"Laters." Danny said in a disrespectful tone.

LaCienga was speechless of him knowing that and growled angrily at that remark of an insult.

As the two left the Fro-Yo shop, Penny thought what Danny said to LaCienega was funny and deserving.

He's not so bad… Penny thought, feeling much better now.

The two teens then decided to finish their frozen yogurt before it melts and they continued talking about their lives, likes, dislikes and the works.


I kinda figured you'd pair Danny with Zoey instead of Penny this time around." 61394 asks

"Because she's a redhead?" Deadpool asked.

"Pretty much, yeah." 61394.

"Okay, sit tight because we're about to get to the big difference." NeoMark said.


"PENNY!" A loud voice shouted as Penny flinched upon hearing it.

The young girl turned around and to her dismay, she saw her overprotective father, Oscar Proud running out of his rented car, with Suga Mama right behind him

"D-Daddy?!" Penny exclaimed at being caught.

"I already told you a thousand times Penny! No boys until after you're married!" Oscar shouted, getting attention from others as Penny looked embarrassed.

"I wasn't doing anything!" Penny shouted, though her father clearly didn't believe her.

"So, what's this? I told you no dating!" Oscar shouted as he angrily pointed at Danny.

'Is this guy insane about not having his daughter date until she's married? And I thought my dad was overprotective with Jazz when Johnny 13 hit on her. Danny thought.

"Quiet, you boy! You're making a scene…" The old woman, whom Danny assumed must be Danny's grandmother, said with a poodle in her arms.

"Don't start with me, Mama!" Oscar shouted to the old woman, before turning to his glaring daughter. "You are in a lot of trouble, young lady!" Oscar shouted as Penny looked dismayed.

Danny saw this and he didn't want to see Penny in trouble, so before he could think about it clearly, his mouth opened and this came out.

"Excuse me sir...Penny didn't do anything wrong...it was all me...'Danny said quickly, getting the middle aged man's attention.

"What are you talking about, boy?" Oscar demanded as Penny looked confused.

"I...I saw your daughter coming out of the fro-yo shop and I... thought she was cute, so I tried asking her if she wanted to see a movie with me...but... she turned me down…" Danny lied.

Oscar, Suga Mama and most of all, Penny, looked at him in surprise.

What is he doing? Penny thought in surprise

"What did you just say?" Oscar demanded an answer, not buying it.

"I said that I saw your daughter and I was asking her if she wanted to see a movie with me, but she said that she wasn't interested…" Danny lied.

Penny looked stunned but smiled a bit.

"Are you serious?" Oscar demanded as he looked him in the eye but Danny kept a cool, poker look on his face as he spoke.

"Why would I lie about being rejected, especially by a girl who before today, I didn't even know existed?' Danny asked sarcastically.

Oscar still looked suspicious before he considered his point.

Suga Mama, seeing that Oscar is still being stubborn, decided to step in.

"Let me see this boy…" Suga Mama demanded as she pushed Oscar out of the way.

"Mama, I'm busy!" Oscar shouted.

"Hush up boy...if Suga Mama is something, it's that she's a good judge of character…" The old woman said as she was now in front of Danny, looking into his eyes.

Oh… she's kind of scaring me, which is saying something because I've met Sagat… He thought before Suga Mama pulled back with a nod.

"He's a good kid...don't have to worry about that…" Suga Mama said, surprising the two teenagers.

Oscar still didn't seem to trust Danny, but since he had no proof, and since he did wonder why a boy would let himself be humiliated on purpose, he rolled his eyes in reluctant acceptance.

"Fine...but I still got my eye on you…" Oscar said as he did the gesture before turning to his daughter, who decided to play along.

"Now that you're done embarrassing me, Daddy, I will be leaving…" Penny said as she started to walk away in annoyance.

"Hold it baby girl! You're still heading back to the Boulevardez summer house...it's late!" Oscar said.

"It's not even seven, Daddy!" Penny complained.

Oscar would not hear of it as he pointed to the car. Penny grumbled, unable to believe this, only to see that Danny walked away, pretending to be in line for a movie. Their eyes met and he sent her a wink. Penny blinked and had a secret smile on her face as she found herself in the car, being driven back to the summer house by her crazy father, while Penny was in the backseat with her grandmother.

However, that's when Danny's ghost sense went off. He became alert, seeing who was after him this time when he saw a figure with a top hat and cape hovering in the air, slowly following the car the Prouds were in.

"Oh no…" He muttered.


"Yes!" Deadpool went.

"Oh no, this is not going to be good for them." PFN said.

"It's kind of a requirement for him to make this story more action-focused." Deadpool said.


At the Boulevardez summer home

Oscar dragged Penny through the door, scowling at her as she groaned. Trudy, who was reading a book, saw this and shook her head in disapproval.

"Okay… which of you should I be upset with this time?" Trudy asks.

"Be upset with Daddy! He embarrassed me!" Penny went.

"Uh-uh! Penny's been datin' boys while we were here! I just know it!" Oscar went.

"Do you have proof?" Trudy asks with hands at hips.

"I ain't fooled! That boy was with you, I just know it! Besides, I know Dijonay, Zoey and LaCienega were datin' and you almost always join them in whatever they're up to!" Oscar went.

"That ain't true!" Penny complained.

"That does sound like you." Trudy said.

"Momma!" Penny complained.

"Hush up." Suga Mama said. "That boy was no trouble, I could see it in his eyes. If anything, Suga Mama's a good judge of character."

"Y, sin embargo, no puede ver lo fea que es en el espejo." Papi, who was napping in the corner, said before laughing.

It was then the door was shut suddenly, much to their surprise.

"What was that?!" Oscar asks.

That's when a laugh was heard throughout the house.

"Prouds! Did you think you'd be rid of me?!" A sinister voice called out.

"Wait a minute… that voice…" Oscar went.

"Where is that voice from?" Trudy asks, finding it familiar.

Suddenly, that answer came when they saw a pair of eyes appear before them in the air, glaring down at them.

"It's me, Prouds! Now without that pink superhero, I'm back and will have my revenge!" The voice said, coming from those eyes.

"Oh no! It's… what was his name again?" Oscar asks.

"Garrett Krebs!" Suga Mama answered him.

"Yes! I spent a long time getting stronger so that whoever that girl who stopped me on Halloween was can't stop me this time!" Kregs said as his face appeared around his eyes.

"But we're not even home!" Trudy went as the family huddled together in fear.

"It will be my home once more! Once I'm rid of you Prouds! Especially you, Oscar Proud! You take everything I've ever wanted for granted!" Krebs shouted as a powerful wind blew through the house.

"Again, Suga Mama…" Oscar said, gesturing to his mother.

Suga Mama whacked him on the head.

"Hush up, boy!" She went.

"I've been waiting a long time for this…" Krebs said. "Now, time t-"

Suddenly, a fist connected with his eyes, launching him into the wall.

The Proud and Papi were caught off guard before who saved them appeared.

"That's enough out of you." Danny Phantom said.

The Prouds stared slack jawed at who this was.

"Isn't he that… what's his name?" Trudy asks.

"Inviso-Bill?" Suga Mama.

"Danny Phantom." Oscar corrected before Suga Mama whacked him again.

"Hush up." She went.

"Actually, he got it right." Danny said.

Seeing that Oscar was right for a change, Suga Mama put her cane down.

"I'll let the next one slide…" She said in embarrassment.

Danny then hovered closer.

"Are you okay Pe-people who live here?" Danny asks, hiding he almost said Penny's name.

"Not for long!" Krebs shouted as his face became a head with a cape. "You dare to interfere with my revenge! I will make you suffer!" Danny had a flat, unafraid and unamused expression as one eyebrow raised. "You dare mock me by looking at me like that?!"

Krebs was angered as he fired a beam from his eyes. A beam that Danny avoided with a simple tilt to his right. Gasping before his anger rose, Krebs fired again. Once again, Danny tilted to his side, this time his left.

"Wow… I'm terrified." He snarked.

"You will be!" Krebs shouted as he fired a much larger beam from his eyes while laughing evilly.

In response, Danny raised a shield that reflected the blast back to its origin, blasting Krebs through the ceiling.

"Stay here." Danny said to the Prouds.

"You got it." Oscar said as he held onto his family as a means of calming his nerves.

Danny then flew through the hole in the roof, reaching where Krebs was.

"You will rue the day you interfered with the ghost of Garrett Krebs!" Krebs shouted.

"I already am… I'm bored to death here." Danny snarked with his arms crossed.

"That's it!" Krebs shouted as he used his powers to levitate a nearby car and threw it at Danny. "Let's see you deal w-" Danny caught the car, much to his shock. "WHAT?!"

Danny quickly placed the car back before rejoining Krebs in the air.

"Look, Gary Crab-

"Garrett Krebs!" Krebs shouted in anger. "And I will not rest until the Prouds are destroyed for living in my home in what's now called Wizville!"

"Right… Krebs. I'm sure you're the biggest, baddest ghost where you call home. But here? Not so much. You're a big fish from a small pond, Amity Park's whole lake full of ghosts. Everything you've shown is basically level 1, something that'd be trouble for me almost a year ago but now is like standard fare in a JRPG. So, let's just make things easier, shall we? You agree to go and never bother that family again… and I'll promise not to deal with you anymore, okay?" Danny asks.

Krebs scowled in fury.

"No! Not Okay!" Krebs shouted angrily. "No more brats in costumes will stop me from my revenge! I'll teach you not t-"

A fist hit his face, sending him into the ground and making a notable crater in the summer home's backyard.

The Prouds hurried over, opening the backdoor to witness what was going on.

Danny landed, arms crossed as he saw Krebs, no resembling his human self, on the ground.

"Last chance, leave." Danny said.

Krebs' eyes flashed with anger.

"You leave me no choice!" Krebs shouted as he hovered into the air, wind starting to circle around him. "You will face my wrath!"

"What are you gonna do?" Danny scoffed with a smile as one eyebrow raised. "Throw two cars at me?"

"Oh, and I'm sure you have something "cooler" to use against me, right?" Krebs mockingly asks.

"As a matter of fact…" Danny's eyes glowed blue. "Yeah."

Blue beams left Danny's eyes as Krebs was frozen in a block of ice, one that fell thanks to his immunity to gravity being disabled from being frozen solid.

It hit the ground and crashed into pieces, rendering him weakened.

"Okay… that was impressive, I'll give you that." Krebs said, still refusing to admit defeat.

"And with that…" Danny said, taking the Thermos out and twirling it for a moment. "...I bid you a not-so-fond farewell."

Danny fired the Thermos, hitting Krebs.

"No!" Krebs tried to get away, turning into his floating head with a cape appearance before the pull was too strong. "NNNOOOOO!" He shouted, his refusal echoes as he was captured, the Thermos clamped shut.

With that, Danny looked to the Prouds, relieved to see them fine.

Suddenly, Oscar came running in, getting on his knees and crying tears of joy.

"Thank you! Thank you!" He said in relief before looking back to his family. "Trudy! Penny! Come thank this boy for saving us!" He insisted.

"Right… now he wants me around a boy…" Penny grumbled as she and her mother approached Danny Phantom.

"Thank you, young man." Trudy said, shaking Danny's hand.

"Not a problem, ma'am." He said.

"What a relief, eh Papi?" Suga Mama asks, hugging him.

"Personalmente, esperaba que el fantasma pudiera llevarnos a ti o a mí. Yo sobre todo, porque el rostro de la muerte es preferible al tuyo." Papi said to her in Spanish before laughing.

"Heh… I'm happy to be here with you too." Suga Mama said with much relief.

Danny, after shaking Oscar's hand, raised an eyebrow at this.

"You do know he just insulted you, right?" He asks.

"Huh?" Suga Mama asks.

"He said, and I'm quoting… Personally, I was hoping the ghost could take either you or me. Me mostly, as the face of death is preferable to yours." Danny translated. Suga Mama stared blankly at this as the Prouds looked at Papi. Sensing he may have made a mistake translating that, Danny stepped back. "Well… farewell, citizens." Danny saluted before flying away.

As he left, the Proud went back to looking at Papi, now wondering if everything he said about Suga Mama was an insult.


"Awkward…" Deadpool said.

"You can say that again, DP." PFN said.

"Yep." 61394 said.


20 minutes later

Once the trouble was done, Penny was still sent to her room. She huffed in anger.

"Even after that kid saved us, I'm still grounded for the night? Not fair…" Penny complained.

Before she could sulk for long, the dark haired girl suddenly heard some knocking coming from a window. She turned around and then saw Danny, hanging from a nearby tree branch that was close to her window.

"Hi, not interrupting anything, am I?" He asks with a smile.

Penny blinked in surprise and then went to open the window.

'What are you doing here?" Penny asked in confusion.

"I wanted to see that you were okay…" Danny said.

"How did you manage to find this place?" Penny asked, not in accusation but out of curiosity.

"I hitched a ride." Danny lied.

And I waited long enough before the whole craziness died down before I checked on you and I could send Crabby Pants to the Ghost Zone, where Walker will probably lock this guy up or something. He thought.

"Look...I'm sorry that I nearly got you in trouble today..." Danny said.

"Why are you apologizing? You didn't do anything wrong. Heck, you saved me from a grounding when you took the blame…" Penny said as Danny still looked down.

"It's still my responsibility to make sure that you had a good time...even if we just met today, I didn't want you to get upset, especially because of me…" Danny said.

Penny smiled at that.

"Come on in, it's dangerous standing on the branch, especially if my Dad catches you...'Penny said as she let him in.

"What's with him, anyway?" Danny asked.

"He has a thing about me with boys, he won't let me date until I'm married…" Penny said with her arms crossed in annoyance.

"How the heck can you get married without dating?" Danny questioned.

"Exactly…" Penny said as she sat down in her chair. "He is so embarrassing…" She then muttered in frustration.

"I've been there...having parents that are embarrassing..." Danny muttered, feeling her pain.


"Skip a bit!" Deadpool went, pressing fast forward.


"Thanks again, you know...for taking the wrap...'Penny said as she rubbed her left arm a bit, in a sheepish sort of way.

"Any time...anyway, Your grandma is right...I better be leaving before Murphy Law's kicks in…" Danny said as he made his way to the window.

"Wait...Danny." Penny called, getting his attention.

The dark haired girl then quickly wrote something down on a piece of paper and then handed it to him.

"Your email and number?" He asks.

"I'm only going to be here for a few more weeks...so...uh...even if we don't get matched… well… you're a cool guy and I figured maybe we could still stay in touch…" Penny said, feeling a little shy now.

Danny heard all of this and smiled widely at that.

"I think I'd really like that...thank you, Penny…" Danny said as he took the paper and put it in his pocket.

Penny smiled and quickly placed a kiss on his cheek, which briefly surprised Danny.

"That was for both helping me with my Daddy and the thing with LaCienega...not many people can get her like that...so thanks..."Penny said as she looked down, blushing a bit.

Just like Danny is right now.

Can't help but wonder how she'd react if she knew that was me who took care of the ghost. He thought.

"Anyway…" Danny said, still giving her that smile.

Danny quickly climbed out the window, got back on the tree branch and quickly scaled down. Once he was on the ground, he looked up to the window, where Penny is still looking at him, smiling.

She gave him a wave and he responded with a playful salute.

Danny then quickly snuck off the property, using his invisibility and intangibility to avoid security once he was sure Penny could no longer see him. The half ghost boy, now in his ghost form and invisible, cast one last look to the summer home where Penny was staying, smiled, before he flew off.

As Penny closed the window, she paused for a moment.

"Weird… why did that look familiar?" She asks, briefly recalling Danny Phantom saluting before disappearing. She shrugged. "Nah… I'm imagining things."


"Well, this was fun as always, Neo." 61394 said. "I better get back to work."

"Yeah, weren't you supposed to be done with Danny and Kittys final battle by now?" Deadpool angrily teased. "I really liked that fight scene you didn't finish."

"Look Wade I'm sorry my Dragon's Lair prank got chimichangas banned from the building. I can talk to the boss." 61394 offered.

"Sure…" Deadpool said in disbelief.

"Well, maybe I'll see you for the Marvel date. Expect the Danny and Kitty final battle soon, everyone. Excelsior, true believers." He said before he vanished

"How does he do that?" NeoMark asks.

"Dunno." Deadpool said.

"So… who's next?" PFN asks.

"Care to see?" Neo asks.

"Sure." PFN went.

"About time I fulfilled another promise I made for this story a while back." NeoMark said.


Special thanks to pokemon fan 1991, 61394 and Flower Princess11, the latter for giving me the idea to use Krebs.

So... time to fulfill a promise.

danifan3000: I guess so. Personally, I'm not fond of the term, mostly because it's a mistake made by fandom. The Halfa is what Danny was called by Poindexter because he's half a boy and half a ghost, not what kind of being he is.

RonaldM40196867: Probably not. No. Again... I know you don't wanna hear this, but you REALLY need to re-read this story because I already said 1 Marvel and 1 DC and I already said Starfire will return. Small world? Yuki doesn't know any tricks, her powers aren't combat capable.

pokemon fan 1991: Thanks for joining.

Leonardo: Such a merger would be terrible.

Guest: Happy New Year.

Jebest4781: Thanks.

Menatron the Angel of Ideas: No age ups.

61394: Thanks for the last minute addition to the chapter.

Invader Johnny: Well, she's a replacement for Katie... so we might not see the last of her.

Guest 2: Please no spin-offs. You're free to do your own story with one of these pairings, but not a direct sequel to this.

guardian1989: Penny returned.

cybirddude: 1. Karma will come, I assure. 2. We shall see. 3. Interesting. 4. Interesting. 5. Not sure I'll use the Planeteers. 6. I can see some conflict. 7. Hmm... maybe. 8. That sounds like stuff Sam would do.

Djinn: It's Penny.

sndWV3: As I said, you're free to do a story about a pairing, but I prefer it not be a spin-off but it's own thing. Don't proclaim it to be one after I said no, it's just courtesy.
