I don't own Disney's The Owl House. I do, however own the OC known as Danielle Hopkins. Hope you all enjoy my story on this lovely show.

Chapter Ten

It has been close if not a little over two weeks since the time travel. Everyone that was within Danielle's mind have started strategizing in various groups. Danny, on the other hand, felt out of place within her own mind, seeing everyone go about their business. Walking out of her own house, Danny goes to a sector of her mind where there was a vast field of flowers, lying down just staring at the sky.

"Penny for your thoughts," said Aria, a little distance away.

"Lady Aria?" said Danny, staring up at Aria.

"Please, call me mom," said Aria, sitting down next to Danny. "What's on your mind sweetie?"

"You're not really my mom," said Danny, looking away. "My mom died a long time ago. You're just my reincarnated self's mom."

"So," said Aria, looking at Danny. "There's more to this, isn't there? What's the matter?"

"Why did you choose me for your kid?" asked Danny, staring at Aria. "There are tons of others that would have been better suited to being your kid. So, why me?"

"Granted, there were quite a bit of souls to choose from that day," replied Aria, looking at the sky than Danny. "But I'd still pick you again and again if it meant having my baby girl back. It wouldn't have felt the same without you there. You're very much a part of her's and my life."

"I still think you should have chosen someone else," said Danny, sighing. "What if I had remembered who I was? The timeline would be even wonkier."

"I would have figured something out," said Aria, brushing a strand of Danny's hair aside. "And I would have worked with you alongside Jacob."

"I feel like I should have been absorbed back in to the sea of conscious or whatever so I wouldn't have been such a bother," said Danny, before crying. "I never got to see my family or pets when I passed. It was like an instant reincarnation. I want to see them so badly but I can't. Danielle is going to live a much longer life now should she ascend to celestial status meaning it will be that much longer to see mom and dad and everyone else in my family. I-I just…"

"Let it out," said Aria, stroking Danny's head.

"Great, now I'm going to be seen as the crybaby of the group," said Danny, wiping her tears away. "I've always wanted to know what it was like to be isekai'd but knew that there would be downsides. And now that it happened but in a reincarnated way, I wish I hadn't. I just want to scream."

"Why don't you?" asked Aria, looking at Danny.

"Oh, I have," replied Danny, looking at Aria. "On the inside."

"But that didn't help, did it?" said Aria, looking at Danny. "You just need someone to vent to and maybe punch something to let it truly out."

"I had my mom for that. The venting that is," said Danny, looking at the sky. "I never felt like I belonged in either society. I had down syndrome but I didn't show it so I felt like I didn't belong there. And since I didn't show, I didn't feel like I belonged in normal society either cause I had it. I felt stuck in the middle, an in between… much like Inuyasha."

"Danielle," said Aria, looking at Danny.

"Please, I'm been calling myself by my nickname so it won't be confusing between your daughter and myself," said Danny, wiping a tear away. "You didn't have to honor me by giving your daughter my name. You could have chosen something else."

"I grew to like that name," said Aria, looking at Danny. "But I wanted to honor you for staying with me throughout the whole pregnancy and to this day. The ones after when I wanted to have more kids with Jacob fled by a certain time. Granted, I can still sense their signature out there but I will respect their decisions. I just would have loved to have more children with Jacob."

"What would you have done if you had a son instead?" asked Danny, looking at Aria.

"I would have probably would have gone with Daniel," replied Aria, looking at the sky.

"Jacob… Jacob…" said Danny, before realization dawned on her. "As in Jacob Hopkins from the show. That Jacob?"

"Well, yes," said Aria, looking at Danny. "I did bring up the show on the television set in your house."

"He's my reincarnated self's dad!?" said Danny, sitting up. "I mean I do like his design and did a fanfic on what could have caused him to study witches and demons but to think he actually became my reincarnated self's dad. Ooo, my gosh! My fanfic came true."

"One of those isekai reincarnated stories?" said Aria, chuckling a little. "Sounds interesting. I'll have to read that."

"You don't have to," said Danny, slightly blushing. "I don't think I brought out its full potential like some other fanfics I read."

"Come now, you wrote a story, thought up ideas for said story, gave it a plot, possibly put yourself in there," said Aria, looking at Danny. "Your story has potential like any story out there."

"Thanks Lady Aria," said Danny, slightly smiling.

"Come now," said Aria, looking at Danny. "I thought I told you to call me mom."

"I don't think I really can," said Danny, looking at Aria. "Sorry."

"That's okay," said Aria, pulling Danny into a side hug. "We'll work on something."

"How'd you even meet Jacob?" asked Danny, looking at Aria. "Much less get together with him."

"I was studying his car wondering how there was actual wood on it. Turns out it wasn't actually wood. That's how we met. And we kept seeing each other on occasions afterwards," replied Aria, looking at the sky, smiling in remembrance. "It was like the universe was saying we were meant to meet over and over till we tied the knot. And I couldn't be happier."

"That's sweet," said Danny, a slight smile on her face.

"Now come on," said Aria, standing up and extending her hand to Danny. "I bet the others are wondering where we are."

"I don't know," said Danny, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "They're strategizing how to end Belos. I'd just…"

"Us weirdoes have to stick together," said Luz, coming out of hiding. "You and every fan out there believe in us. You and the fans are just as much a weirdo like us. If you and them can stick it to Belos in your fanfics, then maybe in a way you can bring some of their ideas here and their cause can help us bring Belos down."

"You know you probably broke the fourth wall right there," said Danny, looking at Luz.

"Yeah, I probably did," said Luz, slightly chuckling.

"Well, how bout it," said Eda, staring at Danny. "What ideas do you remember so we can stick it to Belos?"

"I… uh…" said Danny, poking her index fingers together. "May have more Collector centered fanfics than anything among the Owl House fics. Hehe… sorry."

"What about the ones that aren't…" said Luz, air quoting the next words. "Collector centered."

"There was the one where you were a half angel and your mom a full angel," replied Danny.

"I was a half angel?" said Luz, shocked. "Cool! What happened?"

"I can bring up the stories easily on the tv so every one can read," replied Danny, looking at Luz and Eda. "Would that help?"

"Vastly," said Raine, coming out from behind Eda. "Yours and the fans contributions will greatly turn the tide of battle in our favor."

"O-Okay, I'll do the best I can," said Danny, slightly rubbing her arm in nervousness.

"Alright, off we go," said Eda, pulling Danny into a side hug. "To end Belos's reign!"

"After this is all over," thought Danny, deeply sighing. "I'm going to sleep permanently. It will be for the best."
