Prologue 1: Birth of a Phantom
All that exist follow the laws of the universe. Those laws are never written, they were never thought of, and they were never questioned. But one Law stands above all else.
The law of Time.
And despite how this law governs all, there is only one that has power over it but chooses to allow it to flow as it should.
Right now this individual was watching as the adventures of one hero reached the turning point of his life and he flies off with his girlfriend in his arms.
"Well done, Daniel."
This was Clockwork: the Master of time. He shifted into his old form as he waved his staff in front of his viewing window, getting it to shift to view images of different timelines with the boy as the focus. "So many ways your life has gone, young Daniel. Dying at such a young age just to be raised one of the ghost zones inhabitants, transforming not into a ghost but an aquatic creature, revealing your secret only to be shunned from those closest to you and running away to find refuge somewhere far away." Clockwork smirked as he saw one that he thought was incredibly amusing. "Even being transported to another world and changed into a talking animal."
He paused as something required his attention.
Despite how he usually lets time go the way it naturally goes, there are times where he chooses to tweak the timeline in order for it to find more pleasant paths
Much like this new one that has come to his attention.
The common misconception that people have about the flow of time is that timelines are born at the beginning and then diverge at certain points. This is not true. There are moments where a timeline is born at certain events that happen and then their past and future are built on from there.
Although Clockwork sees all that happens in every timeline, sometimes a new one is made and he must go through it himself.
He thought about what this event could do to the rest of the timeline. Lifting his scepter, he changed the vision shown on his viewing windows, to see the factors that was the creation point of this timeline. And it was tied to the fate of one Daniel James Fenton, the one destined to become Danny Phantom and the hero of his world.
What he saw caused him great concern.
Samantha Manson was not there to give Daniel the much-needed suggestion to enter the portal. The very portal that would give Daniel his powers and grant him the power to become the worlds hero.
The reason for this was because Samantha Manson was not in this Danny's life.
Clockwork watched to see the fate of this timeline, past and future.
It was...concerning.
The portal would still activate after Jack Fenton tripped on one of the loose cables and the wrench he had been holding, flew into the portal, hitting the poorly placed on/off switch. Once the portal is activated ghosts would appear one by one, obeying their obsessions, creating havoc among the citizens of Amity Park.
Ember Mclain: hypnotizing the people of Amity gaining exceptional power and claiming the city as her territory.
Desiree: granting every wish she hears also gaining power through them, with some of them going against Ember, causing strife between the two specters.
Spectra feeding off the misery of the townsfolk, until her powers rival the previous two.
Katherine and Jonathan or as they prefer to be called: Kitty and Johnny 13: riding through the city causing more chaos until Johnny begins to flirt with some of the human females, which causes a fight between him and Kitty. The chaos caused by this was followed by Kitty banishing Johnny and several other men into another dimension until they were lost forever.
Skulker, releasing several of his prey in order to hunt them down in a new location, causing collateral damage to many of the buildings and many innocent bystanders ending up injured or worse.
Later on, Prince Arragon, wanting to expand his kingdom, arrives, causing a battle between himself and the other ghosts already there, with his sister dragged along in chains. Afterward, Amity park becomes a continuous battleground with each side vying to claim it as their own.
It wasn't long until the constant destruction of nature caused Undergrowth and his children to rise to its defense. They enslaved any survivors they could find and used them to feed the so-called children.
Plasmius, much like many other timelines, allowed his foolishness to get the better of him and in an attempt to gain more power over the rest of the ghosts, released Pariah Dark from his sleep. This action spelled the end of the human world as there is no one able to stop him.
Jack and Madeline Fenton spent most of their time trying to capture the ghosts and stop them from causing more harm. However, due to them being unable to do much other than cause some minor injuries to them, they must continuously go out to stop any kind of attack, leaving very little time for them to invent some of the weapons that would be needed to stop some of the more powerful ghosts. It is because of this that tragedy hits the family hard.
Jasmine Fenton, or Jazz as she likes to be called, was one of the females that Johnny had attempted to flirt with. Kitty had witnessed this and attacked them both. Unfortunately, Skulker was hunting a large lion ghost in the very same area and due to the carelessness of Katherine, Jazmine had been pushed into the path of the animal, and Skulker, testing out a new weapon, blasted them both, which caused Jazz to fly into oncoming traffic. A driver who was looking behind him in fear of the ghost battle he just passed, did not see the young girl in front of him.
Tucker Foley was in one of the last remaining electronic stores that remained open when Technus chose to claim the electronics in the store as his own. The creation of the new robotic body had caused the building to collapse, and without anyone there to assist him Tucker could not evacuate the building in time.
Valerie, due to not having any ghost hunter tech, fell victim to Undergrowth and was taken away to become food for the plants.
Danielle was never made since Daniel never obtained his powers so Plasmius never thought to clone the boy.
Jack was assassinated by one of Plasmius' schemes when Jack was having a vulnerable moment due to the loss of his daughter. With Danny unable to detect ghosts and help his father when he was in danger, Jack fell to one of Vlad's attempts after many failures. Vlad had attempted to woo Madeline during her grieving process but she had told him that she could not and would not love him. She could not see him in any kind of romantic sense.
Maddie fell when she was overrun by the citizens that were under Undergrowth's control. She had lasted longer than anyone else but soon the numbers overwhelmed her.
Daniel…...was the last to go. Due to his wit and clever thinking, he had been able to escape several dangerous situations but he soon found himself in a dilemma that he could not escape from. During one of his escapes from a ghost battle, he had run into princess Dorthea and seeing her in chains, found the heart to release her. They then made a plan to leave amity and run away from the center of all the dangerous battles. Unfortunately during their escape, Pariah Dark, Undergrowth, Prince Aragon, and Vortex were in the midst of a battle. The onslaught of power forced them in the center of the three. Dorthea would have used her dragon transformation but her brother had taken her amulet and destroyed it, leaving her with the basic of powers. They were both wounded and unable to move, so they were unable to dodge the blasts that were heading their way. At the very last second, Danny locked eyes with Dorathea.
In fear, she hugged Danny as they spent their last moments.
Dorthea found her existence erased and Danny was destroyed.
Clockwork watched all this occur and could only sigh at the dark path this timeline took. He rewound the viewing window to the creation of the ghost portal. Both Maddie and Jack were working on the final touches before the big moment.
"Jack, did you connect the power couplings?"
"Yep! Connected and ready to power this baby up!"
Maddie moved over to the blueprints and looked them over to make sure that they didn't miss anything.
Clockwork paused the screen and thought about something. In order to avoid the dark future, he would need to intervene.
This didn't pose a problem since, although it is said that one shouldn't mess with the flow of time, it is actually not fully against the rules.
It is just recommended not to.
The Observants always make a big fuss on messing with events within a timeline but Clockwork, being the master of time, had full authority in doing so. He just chooses not to since most of the time he is not needed and it saves him the headache of listening to the eyeballs. He began to look at what would be the best way to cause the accident. He could not help but smile at some of the possible outcomes his interference might cause. Some full of strife, some full of peace and some a little more entertaining. After watching them, he chose the action that had the most amount of paths from his single action. He raised his scepter to rewind just a bit more and show Danny reading in his room. Waving his scepter again he said. "Slow time." Everything in the world had slowed down so much that one would think that he used his. "Time out." Flying into Danny's room, he merely whispered a single suggestion into his ear before leaving.
Danny was reading a comic since he didn't have anything to do. He had actually read this same comic a few times but it was his favorite out of all the ones he had. As he was turning the page he grumbled to himself at the boredom he was feeling. Suddenly, he had a stray thought come to his head. 'Help out your parents'. He wondered where the thought came from since he was never really interested in what his parents did, but due to the fact he was extremely bored at the moment, he shrug, got up, and headed towards his parents' lab.
Normally he wouldn't really care much about what his parents did, but on occasion, he would help them out in testing some of their inventions. Thanks to this, he had an understanding of mechanics and science, which he felt would benefit him since he wants to become an astronaut. He even helped design a few simple inventions but they were unusual due to the lack of strength they had.
As he was walking through the hallway, he passed his sister's room.
"Hey, Danny."
Danny looked back to see his sister coming out of her room with a bag in her arms. "Hey, Jazz, going somewhere?"
Jazz hefted her bag as she moved to walk past him. "Going to the library. Need to renew the psychology book that I borrowed. I only read it twice and need more time in order to get everything memorized."
Danny could only sigh at his overachieving sister. 'Only she would think of memorizing a whole book.' He moved towards the ab as he waved his sister goodbye.
Jazz noticed Danny going towards the ab before shouting out. "Careful not to get sucked up in whatever they are doing!"
"Got it, Jazz!"
Danny walked down the stairs to see his parents work on the wiring of their so-called "ultimate invention". Walking closer to his mother who was looking over the plans, he asked. "Hey, guys, need any help?"
Maddie looked up from the plans before she removed her hood and goggles to smile at her son. But before she could say anything Jack appeared out of nowhere and wrapped Danny in a one-armed hug.
"Danny! So good to see you taking an interest in our line of work! Come over here!" Jack dragged Danny until they were standing in front of the hexagonal hole in the wall. "Here she is! Years of work finally here for everyone to see!" he paused for a moment before he rubbed the back of his head. "Well….everyone in this household actually."
Maddie then walked up to stand next to them. "It will still help us in our research on the paranormal."
Danny didn't really believe any of what his parents were really into. He didn't believe in ghosts since he had never seen one before and in the scientific community, his parents were seen as crackpots. They still received funding due to their scientific expertise in other fields and helping out other scientists but their focus will always be here. And although he didn't believe in the paranormal, he still wished his parents success.
Jack patted Danny hard and moved him over to the center of the lab. "You can help us out now that you're here!"
Maddie moved to join them and pointed to the side. "You should put on one of the hazmat suits. You never know what might happen so you should have some sort of protection."
Danny nodded as he moved to the wall and took off one of the hazmat suits. Putting it over his clothing, he zipped it closed. He never really liked wearing the suit over normal clothes since it was uncomfortable but he was not in the mood to just use it as a normal pair of clothes like his parents. Once it was on he made his way towards his mother but paused when he looked down to his chest to see the smiling face of his father. "Ugh, dad, do you have to put your face on this?"
Jack who was welding something on the portal, stopped and looked over to his son while lifting up his goggles, and smiled at seeing his face on the suit his son was wearing. "It's a Fenton product! Gotta make sure that everyone knows that we made it!" He then went back to welding what he was before.
Danny looked back to his dad's face on his chest before he ripped it off and put it on the table his mother was at. "I need to make my own logo if I ever make something."
Maddie smiled as she pulled up her goggles again. "It's not that bad, Danny. But maybe later you can come up with something to put on your suit. You know…..if you ever decide to get your own personalized suit."
"Heh heh, thanks but no thanks, mom. I don't think I will get used to wearing this much. So do you need any help with something?"
Maddie smiled more before pointing at a part of the blueprints that she was looking over. "You can help me with this here. You see…"
For the next couple of hours, the three worked on the final touches of the portal.
Danny didn't really do much of the more complicated aspects of it but he was able to help out by connecting some of the wirings and helping hold things in place.
It was now the moment of truth. It was time to plug it in and watch all their hard work pay off.
Maddie and Jack were bouncing with excitement
Jack looked around the lab with the biggest smile on his face. "where's Jazzy pants? She's going to miss this!"
Danny looked to his father. "She said she was going to the library. She most likely stayed there to do some more studying."
Maddi felt a bit downtrodden at hearing this. "oh she is going to miss this."
Jack brought his hand to her shoulder. "Don't worry, Maddie. The portal isn't going anywhere. She can see it when she gets back." Jack and Maddie moved over to a plug and socket extensions and picked them up. Jack looked over to Maddie. "Just like in college."
Maddie's smile dropped a tad as she remembered that fiasco. "Except this time it will work."
Danny stood back so to let them have this moment. If it worked then it should be them standing in front of it. He watched as his father brought up the two halves in the air and in his excitement shouted out
"Banzai!"
Jack slammed the two together and they all watched with bated breath at the portal.
They heard the portal powering up and the couplings glow with energy.
After a few more seconds, they were disappointed when all they saw were a couple of sparks of green electricity.
Both the parents slumped at this as they were really hoping that it would turn on.
Jack felt like he had failed again at proving the existence of ghosts. "Another failure." He gave a heavy sigh as he turned around and began to trudge his way out of the lab. "I was so sure it would have worked this time."
Maddie was saddened to see her husband looking so depressed. She turned to Danny and gave a weak smile. "I'm going to make him some fudge to cheer him up. Don't stay down here too long." She then moved to follow the man upstairs
Danny watched as his parents left the lab before he looked back to the portal. "Man, they were so excited too." he walked up to the hole ad looked it over. "What could have gone wrong? I mean I know I am nowhere near smart enough to understand all of the mumbo jumbo they go on about but with how they were acting, it seemed that they had everything right." he paused as he realized what he just said before facepalming. "mn, I need to stop listening to Jazz when she talks about psychology." Danny looked around until he found a small flashlight. Turning it on he took a few tentative step inside it to see if there was something he could find wrong with it. He smiled as he spoke his thoughts out loud. "Man wouldn't it be cool if it did work. I mean, what could be on the other side." After taking a few more steps inside, the flashlight died out Danny smacked it with his other hand as he grumbled. "Did dad forget to replace the battery in this thing? He always does this for everything!" His action was a mistake on his part as he stopped paying attention and found his foot caught by a cable that was protruding upwards. "GEH!" He tripped on the cable and stumbled a few feet deeper into the portal. He was able to steady himself by placing his hand on the wall. "I get bullied at school already, now my parents' invention is out to get me."
CLICK*
Danny looked to where his hand was on the wall and although he couldn't see clearly, he was able to see a red button with the word. "OFF" underneath it. His eyes widened as he moved his hand from where it was to see that he had hit a green button with the word. "ON" below it. His eyes grew in panic as he heard something powering up his mind instantly knew what was going on and he turned around to run out of the portal before it turned on. "GAH!" He tripped on the very same cable and fell face-first on the ground before he quickly picked himself up and started to run again.
Unfortunately, he was only able to take one step before the portal sprung to life.
"gggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH"
"Time Out"
Clockwork, who was in his infant state, watched the whole scene take place and smiled. He knew that Daniel would survive this ordeal and become what many other Daniels have become. Thinking on something for a second, he waved his scepter at the viewing portal and watched as two screens appeared. Each showing a different Clockwork. He normally didn't do this but, for new timelines that were created, he always consulted with himself from other timelines. They are essentially him. Not just different iterations of him, he is them and they are him because, throughout all timelines, there is only one Clockwork. "I can see that your path has gone in that direction." He said to the clockwork on the left who was the adult version of him, before looking to his right at the old man version of him. "And yours has gone with that direction. I must ask you both, how fairs young Daniel."
The adult spoke first. "we know how he fairs. This path shows him through his struggles and hardships but like we know, he perseveres and finds a way."
The old man stroked his beard. "Yes, he shows the same tenacity on this path as well. Though as you both know, I will give my help to our young apprentice."
Clockwork nodded before he shifted his form to be that of an adult. This caused the other two to shift their forms as well.
The adult became an old man and the old man became a baby
Clockwork smiled. "Daniel shall become once more in these new timelines." Seeing the other clockworks nod and smile, they each waved their scepters to turn off the viewing screen. "It is only a matter of time."
Prologue 2: so it begins
Jack Fenton walked up to his audience with his usual jovial attitude. "So, Danny, you and Tucker want to hunt ghosts."
Danny awkwardly smiled at his father as he brought up a hand. "Actually, dad, I….want to be an astronaut."
Tucker looked slightly offended as he dramatically answered. "Waste these good looks and charisma on ghost hunting? Criminal."
The answers that were given seemed to go through the Jack Fenton Filter since all he heard was. "Of course". Jack smiled as he began. "Well if you want to hunt ghosts then you're going to have to know what to use." Jack moved over to a table that held a bunch of things that he and his wife were working on. He began jumbling around with the stuff as he began speaking
As Danny watched his dad walk to the table he gasped out a blue mist. "Oh no." Looking over to the ghost portal, he saw it open up and a couple of Ecto-pus' came out. Danny looked over to his father and felt some worry about this but he saw that the man was going off on his rambles. Danny jumped into the air and transformed. He began to fight the two as his father continued to ramble
"There are several ghost hunting gear that could save you from a ghost attack. LIKE THIS: the Fenton Thermos." he lifted up a metallic silver high tech thermos that had a stylized. "F" that looked to have a spectral flame around it. "It's supposed to capture and contain ghosts. Sure I never saw a ghost before but when I do ... .BAM!" he swung his fist as if he had hit something. "But since it doesn't work it's just a thermos. A thermos with the word Fenton in front of it."
While Jack was talking Danny was sending one of the Ecto-pus' flying into the ghost portal with a hard punch. So preoccupied with that, he didn't notice the other one floating behind him until he felt its tentacles wrap around him and began flying around the room.
Jack moved his gaze over to another piece of ghost hunting equipment. It was black in color and seemed to be a hoop. "Many of these things aren't even finished yet but when they are, no ghost will ever stand a chance against JACK FENTON!." with his smile still in place he moved over to the most prized invention. "And this is the Fenton Ghost portal! It rips open a gateway into the ghost dimension and releases ghosts into our world whether I want it to or not." tapping it with his knuckle he smiled with his eyes closed. "One day, I'll figure out how this works too."
Right above Jack was Danny ripping off the tentacles of the Ecto-puss and using them to swing it around until he swung it downward and into the portal. Once that was done, he flew back to his seat and saw Tucker give him a thumbs up. He leaned on the chair backrest as he tried to regain his breath since the fight was exhausting.
Jack opened his eyes to look at the two. "Look at ya. You're too excited to even talk…...so I'll just keep talking. I was always a bright one when I was a boy. And I always wanted a pony. But I never got the pony. In fact, we had to eat horse meat during the war. Always had a problem with that…."
insert Danny Phantom opening*
~Casper High~
Danny was running through the hallways of his school as he tried to make it to his classroom on time. Looking at his watch he saw the amount of time he had left. "thirty seconds! I can make it! I can make it!" unfortunately before he could turn the corner to the hallway that led to his class, he was grabbed by the back of his shirt and hoisted in the air
"And where do you think you're going, Fentonio?"
Danny was looking into the eyes of the school bully and leader of the A-listers: Dash Baxter. He wasn't really sure when it started but the jock had chosen to put most of his focus and frustration was put on him. "I was heading to class before I'm late."
Dash grinned as he lifted Danny more into the air. "Aw, but you'll miss out on our favorite activity."
Danny had a bit of sweat on his forehead as he nervously spoke. "uh ... .arriving on time?" much to his dismay he was suddenly shoved into a locker
"Nope!" Dash threw the locker door closed before he began walking to class as the late bell rang.
~classroom~
Dash walked into the class as if he did nothing wrong, even though he was a few minutes late
Mr. Lancer looked at him and smiled. "ah Mister Baxter glad you could make it."
Dash sat down next to his fellow football player Kwan as he smiled at the teacher. "Glad I could be here."
Tucker looked to the seat next to him to see his friend wasn't in his seat and could only think of a few reasons for it
Danny tried to push the locker door open but unfortunately for him, it wouldn't budge. "Oh come on! I was close to being on time for once in a month!" he gave up trying to push the locker door open and just leaned against it as best he could. Without warning, he activated his intangibility. "Aah!" and fell out of the locker and onto the ground with a hard thud. "Guh ow. Darn it! A month with these powers and I'm nowhere close to even getting them right!" Danny got up and dusted himself off before he began making his way to class. 'If my parents can invent something that could give me these powers, why can't they invent something that could take them away!' he made it into his class as the teacher looked over to him
"Mr. Fenton. Late again I see. Well, you can spend after school today in detention again."
Danny slumped down as he made his way to his seat next to Tucker.
Tucker gave him a worried look. "trouble again?"
Danny groaned as he put his head on the desk and whispered. "yeah. It was a couple of Ecto fish and a real nasty one that wore a red and white jacket."
The jab at the jock wasn't lost on the techno-geek as he chuckled into his hand
"Mr. Foley! Unless you would like to join your friend in detention, I would suggest that you pay attention."
Tucker smiled sheepishly as he tried to sink into his seat
~FentonWorks~
Jack and Maddie were working on the Fenton Weasel in their lab. Since they were so focused on getting it to work right, they didn't notice the ghost portal turn on and something coming out of it.
A green-skinned pudgy old woman walked out of the portal as before she looked at her surroundings. "oh, this isn't the cafeteria." she then floated upwards through the ceiling and out of Fentonworks and towards the school.
~Casper High~
Danny was putting his books in his locker, with Tucker messing with his PDA.
"So, any luck on your powers?"
Danny sighed as he grabbed the books he needed for the next class after Lunch. Closing it, he began walking to the lunchroom. "no. I just figured them out! You would think after a month of having them I would be able to walk down the hall without falling through the floor."
"You mean kinda like you're doing right now?"
As Tucker said Danny was sinking into the ground as he walked. "Gah!" he put his hands on the ground, brought his legs out of the floor in time for them to become tangible again, and sighed in relief. As he was getting up, he was pushed back down as he heard the obnoxious laugh of Dash.
"Watch it Fenturd!"
Tucker helped Danny up from the ground and they both began making their way to get lunch. "why don't you use your powers to get back at him?"
"And do what? Make him drop his pants?"
"Welllllll….."
Danny sighed in exasperation. "Tucker, I can't control my powers at all. For all I know I could end up making Dash fall through the ground and get stuck. If that happens the only thing I could do would be to try and help him out and if I did that everyone would learn my secret!" he brought his arms up in a dramatic fashion as he finished his statement. He didn't want to be called a freak by everyone and with hardly any control, he couldn't risk it.
~cafeteria~
The usual old woman who served everyone their lunch had been drolling through the day as she automatically put whatever slop that would be called food to the students that came in to get something to eat.
The students themselves weren't even looking at her since they were either too busy talking to friends or looking at the gray matter on their tray
From the ceiling came the ghostly woman that came out of the ghost portal and landed behind the old woman serving lunch.
Said woman looked behind her and due to a bit of poor eyesight merely shrugged her shoulder and left while saying. "finally got someone to replace me eh? Well, I'm going on my break now so you can fill in for me."
The Lunch lady smiled as she responded. "oh thank you kindly. But may I ask what is on the menu today?"
"Mrgh it's over there in the pot. Not sure what it is though." the woman left the room and off to eat a burger she had stashed in her pocket
The Lunch lady floated over to the pot and looked inside. "Oh dear. It would seem that it has gone bad. Well, that won't do." she used her powers to open up the fridge and grabbed the ingredients needed to make meatloaf." (I swear as I am writing this, I began to want some meatloaf)
Danny walked into the cafeteria with his Tucker but stopped when he felt a puff of cold air leave his lips in a gasp. "*gasp* oh no."
Tucker saw this and asked. "what is it?"
Danny whispered since there were other kids coming into the cafeteria. "My ghost sense went off! There is a ghost nearby!"
Tucker whispered back to Dany. "But where? I don't see any of those animals that you keep fighting."
Both were walking through the line without looking around them. Once both made it to get their food they stopped when they saw that what they received wasn't the usual gray slop they usually got.
Tucker was drooling at the sight of a steamy piece of Meatloaf while Danny was just surprised
Danny looked up to the Lunch lady and paused as he saw the smiling face of the ghostly lady
"Well, deary, hope you like the first batch of fresh meatloaf today."
Danny opened his mouth to say something but he was suddenly dragged away by Tucker as he went to a table that was in the corner of the whole cafeteria.
Once they both sat down Tucker immediately began chowing down on the meatloaf, only stopping when his mouth was full and his face was bloated.
Danny wasn't really paying attention to Tucker as his gaze was stuck on the Lunch lady who was happily handing out lunch. His mind was trying to figure out what he was seeing. Turning his head to his friend he saw that Tucker had finished his meal and was reaching for his. Danny quickly grabbed his tray and moved it out of Tucker's grasp. "hey!"
"Aw come on! You're not eating it!"
"That's because I found the ghost!" Danny pointed at the lunch line, getting Tucker to look over Danny's shoulder to see what the black-haired boy was pointing at while said boy put his lunch back down.
Tucker squinted his eyes as he tried to get a clear view of the ghost. "She doesn't look that bad. She kinda looks like my aunt."
Danny turned around to look at the ghost as well. "And she isn't really doing anything. She's just…...giving out food."
"Food that's delicious." Tucker took a piece of Danny's meatloaf without being noticed
Danny turned back to his lunch to see Tucker eating something. "Hey!" Danny began to eat his lunch, not being able to help but smile at the taste. He turned around to keep an eye on the Lunch Lady to make sure she wasn't doing anything wrong. Something he thought was weird was how no one seemed to notice that a ghost was giving them food. The only issue he was having at the moment was that his ghost sense was going off every few minutes. Which made it hard to really enjoy his meal since he would bring the food to his mouth only to gasp out the blue wisp and cooling the meatloaf. It was still good in his opinion
~later~
Danny was leaving school as he had just gotten out of detention. He was glad that he could use the time there to at least do his homework and that no problems occurred. He thought back to how the ghost Lunch Lady had just done what you would assume she would do when she was alive: pass out food in a cafeteria. He pondered about this as he walked up the steps to his house. But what he saw when he opened the door was something he didn't expect. His parents on the ground, holding on to the ankles of his sister while said sister had one of his parents inventions that looked like a vacuum cleaner, sucking on her hair
Their blank faces were looking up at Jazz's angry one before they both let go.
Jazz crossed her arms as she began to walk away with the vacuum still sucking on the end of her hair. "this is all going in the memoir.
Danny just blankly looked at the whole thing before he pointed to the side. "Uuuuhhhh I'm…...going to be in my room and let you guys do…...whatever it is you're doing."
Both Jack and Maddie watched Danny go up to his room before Jack gained a look of contemplation.
Maddie saw this and reprimanded him a bit. "Jack, Danny is not a ghost."
"You're right." Jack turned his gaze to Jazz who was trying to pull the vacuum, that was still sucking, off her hair. He squinted his eyes at the girl as he said. "Jazz is."
~Danny's room~
Danny was sitting in his chair as he thought about the Lunch Lady. "she wasn't harming anyone so should I really try and get rid of her?" he thought about what he knew about ghosts but he kept coming up with the same thing 'ghosts attack people, but maybe she is an exception. I mean the only bad thing she did was change the menu.' he sighed as he realized that he wouldn't be able to think of anything tonight so he chose to just get some sleep. "Eh I'll figure it out tomorrow.
~next day~
Danny and Tucker were making their way to the lunchroom with the Techno-geek drooling at the fact that he would get to eat the meatloaf again
"Tuck, you should close your mouth so you don't leave a river behind us."
"Come on Danny! We get to eat delicious meat again! I can't wait."
"How do you even know she is still here? For all we know, she could have left already."
Tucker shook his head. "No way…." he pointed to his nose as he spoke. "I can smell that de~licious meat."
Danny quirked an eyebrow at what his friend just said. "you can….'smell' it from all the way here?"
Tucker nodded as they stopped walking and he placed a fist to his chest as he puffed it out as if proud of his ability. "I'm a meat connoisseur." he sniffed at Danny before he said. "last night, you had a steak, medium-rare *sniff* two shakes of salt."
"Impressive."
"I know my meat and my fourteen-year streak is going strong."
"Well, it could still be the old lunch lady that is making the food." They began to walk again towards the cafeteria.
Tucker pulled out his PDA as he fiddled with it before showing a video to Danny. "well that and….."
On the PDA was a video of Danny in his seat and every few minutes his ghost sense would go off and he would begin to look around only to see nothing. He would then go back to looking at his notes while shivering.
"Your ghost sense was going off every few minutes"
Danny looked at Tucker with a quirked eyebrow. "you were filming me?"
"I saw it happening and thought recording how many times it happened would be fun."
Danny shook his head as they entered the cafeteria. He rubbed his shoulders as his ghost sense went off again. "Ok fine, she's here and we get to eat some good food."
Tucker ran ahead of him with his arms stretched out as he said. "Turkey, here I come."
Danny sniffed the air to see if he could recognize the smell. "That nose of his is impressive." he moved over to stand by Tucker in the Lunch line.
Danny decided that if the ghost wasn't going to do anything, then he should just let it be. "What could go wrong?"
~outside~
Jaz was smiling as she remembered that early in the morning she had been able to get Spike to utter a word, which to her meant progress in getting him to open up. As she sat down to eat her lunch she was suddenly blindsided by a green net. "Bwah!" She was then dragged away towards a bush that had both her parents hiding in it
"I got her and the Fenton grappler works like a charm!"
Maddie couldn't help but ponder. "I don't understand, if Jazz is a ghost, why doesn't she just faze through the net?"
"Because I'm not a ghost! Ghosts don't exist in the first place! Why would you think I was one anyway."
Jack, not one to calmly view a situation, brought out his Fenton Bazooka. "Eat hot Fenton goo ghost gal!" He fired off two shots since he had a twitching finger.
One hit Jazz who merely glared at the two while the other shot was way off the mark
Jack then pulled out the Fenton Thermos and pointed it at Jazz. The whirring sound of it powering up could be heard before it sparked and did nothing. "darn thing still doesn't work."
~Cafeteria kitchen~
The Lunch Lady was pulling out another batch of fried Turkey with a good helping of Gravy on it. She moved to the table to begin cutting it into servable sizes for the kids before she remembered. "Oh dear, I almost forgot the Potatoes." Going over to the other side of the kitchen, she grabbed the pot that had mashed potatoes in them but was unaware of what was heading her way. She looked up when she heard a window crash and a green blob of goo heading towards the turkey. She watched as if in slow motion the goo impacted the turkey causing it to explode into pieces. She was in shock but more than that she was angry. "WHO DARES DISRUPT THE SANCTITY OF LUNCH!"
In the cafeteria itself Danny was enjoying the Turkey he had gotten until. "*gasp*" he looked down in confusion since his ghost sense only went off when there was a ghost that he was unaware of. Sometimes it would go off constantly if the ghost was still nearby but it would stop after he knew where it was and got used to the ghosts presence. This made him look to the kitchen with a look of shock and horror.
The Lunch Lady was furious. She activated her powers over all things meat and had every pound of it circle around her before they all began to envelop her.
"Uh Tucker!"
Tucker was ignoring the word as he closed his eyes and brought up a fork to his mouth that had a big piece of Turkey on it. Once he bit down, unfortunately, the piece floated away and he opened his eyes to see what was happening
"RAAAARRGGGHH"
Everyone in the cafeteria panicked at the sight of a large Meat monster and they all began to run out of the building.
Danny and Tucker stared in shock at what was happening with Tucker dropping to his knees. "It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen but why has Meat betrayed me!"
Danny looked at his now crying friend with a deadpan look. "How is it that I have powers and you're the weird one." He then gained a determined look as he glared at the meat monster. "I'm Going Ghost!" he brought his arms in the air as a ring of white and blue light appeared around his waist. The ring then split into two with one rising up while the other descended down. As the rings moved, they changed Danny's appearance while giving him an ethereal glow. He now wore a black full body hazmat suit with the torso, upper arms and upper legs being in black while his hands and lower leg were in white. His hair went from black to flowing white and his baby blue eyes became a neon green that glowed the same color. Danny Fenton became Danny Phantom. He flew to be in front of the monster. "hey! Mind telling me what this is about?!"
The meat Monster looked at the floating boy and growled. "Lunch is ruined! This cannot be allowed!" she sent a punch at the boy that impacted him and sent him flying.
Danny saw that he was about to impact the wall and went intangible to avoid crashing into it. Unfortunately, he became tangible in time to slam into a tree. Pulling his head off the tree he dazingly said. "I should have watched out for that tree." he heard glass breaking and turned around to see the meat monster coming out of the building and reforming in the courtyard. Glaring at it he flew off and sent a solid kick to its head which blasted its top half off, leaving only its feet. "Well that was unexpected.'' Suddenly, his transformation ring appeared and he turned back to Fenton. "As was that." Since he was in the air, he fell straight down into a large pile of meat. "Ow." he rubbed his head as it was sore from the fall but when he opened his eyes he saw the meat legs reform into smaller versions of the meat monster. "uh oh"
~other side of the school~
Jazz was glaring at her parents as she waited for them to say something
Jack looked guilty as he looked at his daughter. He thought back to the past few days and how he had treated her. Looking down at the thermos in his hand he could only sigh in defeat. Most of his scientific life, he had been trying to prove the existence of ghosts and now due to his over enthusiasm, he had attacked his daughter. "This thermos doesn't work because….. ghosts…..don't exist…." He looked back at his daughter as he continued. "I, Jack Fenton, ….from this day forward…." He tossed the thermos behind him hard, not paying attention to where it would land.
Above the group of three was Danny as he was struggling to get out of the grasp of the mini Meat beasts." Come on! Come on! CHANGE!" His transformation rings appeared once again and he turned back into Danny Phantom. Once his powers were activated he spun around throwing them off of him. Once he stopped spinning, he was hit in the face with something metallic. Pulling it off he saw what it was. "The Fenton Thermos! But how do I get it to work?" hearing growls above him, he looked up and panicked as he saw the mini meats charging him. He flew down at a rapid pace as he punched them as they got close. Looking to where he was going he went intangible since he saw he was heading to the ground between his he passed them he had to say in a rapid pace. "Thanks for the Thermos!"
The three were shocked to see a boy with white hair fall from the sky and just phase through the ground
Jack grew excited. "HA; ghost kid! I was right!" he got into Jazz's face as he began to say in a sing-song tone. "You were wrong~ I was right~! ghosts exi~st! Hahaha I never doubted it for a second."
Unfortunately, his celebration was cut short when a pile of meat fell on top of all of them.
Danny was flying through the ground back to where the fight first started. Flying out of the ground, he saw the Lunch lady floating above a pile of meat
The Lunch Lady saw the thermos in his hands and growled. "NO! SOUPS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE MENU UNTIL THURSDAY!"
Danny glared at the ghost as he spoke. "Well it's time to rearrange the menu!" he placed his hand on the lid and meekly whispered. "Please work." He pulled the lid off, pointed it at the Lunch lady, and channeled his energy into the thermos as he pressed the button to activate it. "I hope I'm right!" a beam of energy shot out of the thermos towards the ghost. Once it hit the ghostly lady felt a pull towards it as she tried to resist it.
The Lunch Lady tried her hardest to break free but soon found herself flying towards the Thermos and losing power. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo~~~~"
Danny put the cap back on the Thermos as he smiled. "Glad that's over." 'My parents have their moments.' he turned around when he heard the digital female voice speaking
{Ghost Directly ahead. You would have to be a complete moron to not see the ghost directly in front of you.}
Maddie and Jack looked at Danny who was nervously sweating.
"Ah sorry, dad, you just missed him" Danny Jabbed his thumb behind him.
"We got a runner!"
Both parents ran past Danny chasing the ghost that wasn't there as Jazz glared at nothing in particular. "great! Back to square one." she walked away, leaving Danny by himself
Danny brought the Thermos close to his face as he embarrassingly spoke to it. "um uh ... .can you hear me?"
"Release me!"
Danny moved the thermos away from his face before he nervously talked to it. "I'm sorry but you were causing trouble. I had to stop you from hurting others." Danny sighed as he began to make his way towards the cafeteria. "I would have just let you do your thing if you didn't break so much stuff." as an afterthought he added. "The Turkey was good too."
"...thank you, deary."
Danny walked into the cafeteria to see that it was a mess with tables and chairs thrown everywhere and piles of meat here and there.
BURP*
Danny moved to the other side of a pile of meat to see Tucker lying on the ground with a bloated stomach and a dazed look on his face. "uh ... .Tuck? You ok?"
Tucker lifted his head as he smiled. "Yeah, I'm *BURP* ok."
"GREAT TOWER OF PIZZA! WHAT HAPPENED HERE!"
Danny looked behind him to see Mr. Lancer walking in. "Uh oh."
Mr. Lancer then saw both Danny and Tucker in the middle of the cafeteria and narrowed his eyes on them.
~later~
Danny and Tucker were cleaning up the random piles of meat that were spread out all over the courtyard with Mr. Lancer supervising the two
"Foley! Pick up that T-bone!"
Tucker looked at the said food item and drooled at it.
Lancer pulled out a turkey leg as he took a bite out of it before walking away leaving Dash to watch the two
Tucker moved closer to Danny as he whispered. "Not going to tell your parents."
"Nah. I'm not sure how they would react to me and I'm starting to think these powers could help me out when I really need it."
"Hahaha"
Danny glared at Dash, who was leaning against a dumpster that had been filled with meat. 'Like now for instance.' He moved to the dumpster's side and placed a hand on it. Channeling his intangibility to it, he made the dumpster intangible while leaving the meat tangible.
Dash suddenly found himself buried in a pile of meat as he stuck his head out and realized he was stuck. "Fenton! A little help!"
Danny leaned against the broom he was using as he smirked. "Whatever you say, Dash…" He turned away from Dash with a smirk as his eyes glowed green. "whatever you say."
Clockwork closed the viewing portal as he chuckled at his ward's antics. No matter how many times he saw similar scenes, he always found some entertainment at the start of it all. Danny's first real battle against one of the more powerful ghosts. He waved his scepter to change the view to another of the new timelines.
Bang bang*
Clockwork turned around to look at a thermos that sat on one of his tables. He narrowed his eyes at it as it held a great threat that came from one of the alternate timelines of the main timeline. This was something he had to deal with when the time was right but right now, it will have to wait. He turned his head back to the viewing portal to continue watching.
"Clockwork!"
Clockwork sighed as his expected "unexpected" guests arrived.
The Observants of one of the new timelines. Unlike Clockwork, each timeline has a set of Observants, each set with the same views and same obnoxious manner on how time should be handled. Sure, there were a few decent variants of them from a few other timelines but most were the same.
Clockwork turned around to greet his two guests. "What can I do for you this time?"
"We have seen that this Phantom child that you have been keeping an eye on has the potential to become a major threat to our world. We wish to know how you plan on dealing with him."
Clockwork shifted to his child form as he faced them. "For the time being, I shall do what you do; Observe. He does not show any signs of danger as of yet. But if he is to show such signs, then I shall deal with it as I must."
"See that you do!" The two faded away from the lair
Clockwork turned to the viewing portal as he thought about what the Observants said. "*sigh* they always choose to view ahead not seeing the path. But for now, it can wait." He smiled as he looked at the viewing window that showed this new timeline, including the points that divert ever so slightly from a new point. "Let's see how they go, shall we?"
Chapter 1: would you care to...
Jack Fenton sat in a foldable chair in front of the Fenton ghost portal, wearing a fishing vest over his orange jumpsuit and a soda hat on his head. He took a slurp of soda from the tube before he pulled his arm back and sent a fishing line into the portal
This was what Danny walked in on when he came down to the lab. He moved towards his father while dropping his backpack onto the ground. "Uh, dad, what are you doing?"
Jack stopped slurping his soda to whisper to his son. "Shh, careful, Danny, you'll scare away the ghosts." He reeled in the line again before he sent it back in. "Besides, I'm testing the new Fenton Ghost Fisher! I'm fishing for ghosts." He put the high tech fishing pole down before he grabbed the fishing wire and brought it in front of his son. "see this. It's coated with special high test ectoplasm resin that ghosts can't break. It will hold any ghost no matter how strong." he grabbed the pole again as he slurped another bit of soda and spoke. "had time to finish this one since your mother and I still need to build the rest of that one" he pointed to the side to show a black metallic hoop with a green energy net inside. The hoop was held waist-high, horizontally by a few clamps.
Danny walked up to it and looked down at the energy. "What's it supposed to be?" He wanted to know what it was in case he needed to be wary of it.
Jack smiled wide but kept his eyes on the portal. "we're calling it the Fenton ghost catcher! Once complete, we can use it to expunge ghosts from anything."
Danny took a step back away from it since he wasn't sure what it might do to him. "But it looks like it works already."
"It still needs a stand and some extra features…..like Feathers!"
Danny was confused about the feather thing until he remembered that he had seen some real ones before and they tend to have feathers attached to the hoop. "So why is it on?"
Jack frowned as he turned his head. "Dang, I knew I forgot something." He was about to get up and turn it off until his stomach made a noise. "Oof, that soda goes right through you like Charren through Georgia." he grabbed Danny, placed him in his chair, and slapped the Fenton Fisher into his hands. "Here hold this for me! Gotta use the little Fentons room." he then ran towards the stairs that led to the main floor
Danny was a little dumbfounded about what happened but shook his head before looking behind him to see his father running up the lab stairs. "Dad, wait!" but the man was already out of earshot. He slumped in the chair and looked at the gadget in his hands. "Why would he make it into a fishing pole?" as he finished his question something snagged the end of the line and began to tug hard on it. He grabbed the pole and was pulled out of his chair as he kept a tight grip on it. "What the….?" It was then that his ghost sense went off. "Oh no." He looked to the portal in time to see two large scaly claws making their way out of the portal. He soon had to look up at the large blue ghost dragon that towered over him and within its mouth was the other end of the fishing line.
The dragon roared at the boy before shouting. "I want to GO!"
Danny yelped as he began to run in the opposite direction with the dragon chasing after him. Once he made it halfway through the lab he paused and turned around only to then find himself in the grasp of one of the dragon's claws. He was pulled up, dropping the Fenton Fisher, until he was mere inches from the dragon's snout.
"I HAVE TO GO!"
The shout blew back Danny's hair before he spoke. "You're going to have to stand in line behind my dad. In the meantime…!" He transformed into his ghost form: Danny Phantom, turned into blue mist, and slipped out of the dragon's claw.
The dragon looked at its claw in confusion before growing angry and swiping at the ghost boy floating in front of it.
Danny dodged the two claw strikes before getting some distance from the dragon. He turned back in time to see the dragon spew out green flames at him, which he just barely dodge by leaning upward. He felt the heat almost singe his back. "Woah, talk about bad breath." he flew towards the dragon and was about to send out a kick but he had to redirect his trajectory when its tail smacked him out of the air and onto the ground. He leaned on one elbow while rubbing his head. "didn't see that coming." he looked up at the dragon and went wide-eyed. "but I see that!" he flew out of the way of a large dragon fist that slammed the ground of where he once was. He flew up to the dragon's head and grabbed both of its horns before he began to drag said dragon towards the portal. "Let's send you back where you came from!"
The dragon thrashed its head back and forth to shake him off it.
"Woah!" Danny held on to the horns as best he could but felt his grip loosening. He let go of the horns and fell to the dragon's neck and dangled on something metallic. He looked at what he grabbed and saw it was an amulet around the dragon's neck. Once he saw it he dryly quipped. "Didn't know a dragon can have any fashion sense." He looked past the dragon's neck and saw that they were only a few feet away from the portal and got an idea. He swung his legs to gain some momentum and slammed his feet into the dragon sending it flying back and into the open gateway. Danny smiled at this but it dropped when he saw the tail swing his way. "Uh-oh. ARGH!" The tail hit him hard and sent him to the side. He flew through the air and towards the Fenton ghost catcher. His body went through the green energy net and he landed on the ground hard before, causing him to see stars. He shook his head and leaned on his elbows. "Someone get the number of the thing that hit me?" Once the stars were gone he looked up to see that he was under the Fenton Ghost catcher. He went wide-eyed before looking down at himself to see that he was still in his ghost form and he didn't feel any different. "Huh...must not work." Not wanting to test his luck, he crawled out from under it and transformed back into his human form. He looked at his hand to see it was empty and blinked in confusion 'Huh, must be my imagination.' He walked back to the chair, looked at the portal, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Phew, that's a relief."
It was then that Jack came back with two new soda cans. "I'll tell you what's a relief." he then remembered something he forgot to do. "dang I almost forgot!"
Danny was handed the two sodas and watched his dad run back upstairs before he heard the flushing of a toilet
"Come on man, a dragon?"
Danny took a bite of his lunch as his friend Tucker gave his opinion of the morning encounter. "Tuck, I'm telling you, it was a dragon. Breathed fire and everything."
Tucker took a bite of his lunch as he nodded. "Okay okay. It's just hard to believe that a ghost dragon would be real."
Dany rubbed the back of his neck as he remembered the hit he took. "Well, the bruises sure feel real." Danny continued his lunch until both he and Tucker saw Paulina walk down a pathway
Paulina was the most popular and well sought out girl in the school. She was considered extremely beautiful and had boys begging to be with her. Not only that but she was captain of the cheerleading squad which put her in high standings in the school and part of the A-listers.
The Latina girl garnered the attention of every male that she walked past, even causing a male biker to crash into a tree
Both boys stood up from the bench table and gazed dreamily at her. "Paulina~." Danny and Tucker watched as the girl stopped by a tree and sat down before reading a book. They sat back down and continued to gaze for another few minutes
Tucker then got up from his seat before checking his breath. "Alright, time to put on the old Foley charm."
Danny looked up at his friend in a bit of confusion and amusement. "What are you going to do?"
"Going to ask her to the school dance. And with these looks, there's no way she'll say 'no'."
Danny watched his friend walk up to Paulina and watched as the scene played out. After a minute he saw her get up, scoff at Tucker, and walk away. He saw his friend make his way back towards the table with a somewhat chipper look on his face. "So how'd it go?"
Tucker pressed his fist against his chest. "Well she didn't say no…."
Danny was surprised and happy for his friend. "That's great!"
"...she said: not even if I was the last boy in school." Tucker then slumped back into his seat and began to eat again. Once he swallowed a bit he looked at Danny. "Why don't you ask?"
Danny shook his head. "Come on, Tuck. I get really nervous when I talk to pretty girls. I wouldn't be able to say anything."
"Well then who are you going to the dance with?"
Danny sighed as he chose to finish his lunch. "I don't know Tuck. I might not go."
~ the next day~
Danny and Tucker were talking next to Danny's locker, discussing Tucker's luck in asking someone to go to the dance with him
"Barbra...no, Brittany…..no"
Danny looked to Tucker as he went through some of the names of the girls that he asked. "Still no luck huh?"
Tucker put away his PDA before pressing a fist on his chest as he puffed it out. "There are still plenty that can still fall for the Foley charm." he was suddenly slammed into the lockers by Dash.
"Out of the way, loser!" said jock was walking up to Paulina who turned out to be close by
Danny glared at the jock who had just shoved Tucker for no reason. He looked around to see that no one was paying attention to him and seeing an opportunity, he went invisible and made his way to the jock. He heard the flirting Dash was doing but he didn't care. He didn't know what he was going to do but he was going to do something. He placed his hands on the jock's back and activated his powers but he went wide-eyed when he felt his whole being pulled into the bigger boy.
Dash smiled as he leaned on the lockers with his arm as he tried to pick up Paulina. "...star quarterback and I'm …" he went wide-eyed as he felt something funny
Dash looked down as he was surprised to see what had happened. "...I'm in Dash's body?"
Paulina quirked an eyebrow as the last statement was odd. "Excuse me?"
Dash paused for a minute as he tried to think of what he could do with this. It was then that a small vindictive side of him wanted to have some fun. He straightened up and smiled wide. "I'm a collector of teddy bears!" He turned and spread his arms in the air. "and I like to frolic in a field of flowers while thinking of rainbows!" He then began to frolic down the hall in front of everyone and right past Mr. Lancer.
Mr. Lancer watched the star football player prance down the hall until in front of a janitor's closet
Danny flew out of the jock and used his intangibility to go into the boy's bathroom before regaining visibility and walked out. He could not help but chuckle at what he had done. Sure it was a bit petty but it made him feel a little better. As he walked back to Tucker, he scratched the upper part of his arm as It tingled a bit when he used his powers but he passed it off as nothing major.
~after school, at the Mall~
Danny and Tucker were eating at the food court, with Tucker looking at Danny in wonder
"So let me get this straight, you can just walk into someone and get them to do anything?"
Danny nodded as he took a bite of his fires. "Yeah, it was weird though. It felt odd to take over someone else."
Tucker on the other hand got an idea as he looked at another girl from their school. "Hey, Danny, if you could take over a girl for one minute"
Danny furrowed his brow. "Forget it, Tuck. I wasn't even going to do that for myself. It would be wrong. You can get a date the old fashioned way."
Tucker deflated as he looked at Danny. "So why haven't you asked anyone out?"
Danny slumped in his seat as he let out a dramatic sigh. "It wouldn't matter who I ask. Everyone I did ask is already going with someone and the ones I haven't asked I get too nervous to say anything, they are out of my league anyway."
"SIXTEEN WEEKS!"
Both Danny and Tucker jumped at the sound of someone shouting.
Danny narrowed his eyes in determination as he was worried it might be a ghost but he realized that his ghost sense didn't go off, so he calmed himself down. "Huh, wonder what that was?"
"Maybe someone got some bad news."
"Maybe."
Tucker then pulled out his PDA and went through his list. "Venessa...no, Victoria ...no. That only leaves….Valerie." He looked around the mall in order to see if he could find the said girl and was fortunate enough to see her walking into the food court. He got up and made his way over to her.
Danny sat there watching his friend and was expecting the same as before. But oddly enough, he saw Kwan, one of the football jocks come up to them, say something to Valerie, and left. The girl then looked to Tucker and said something to him that caused the boy to throw his arms in the air in excitement. "Huh, guess he got lucky."
~Day of the dance, Fenton works~
In the basement lab, a figure walked out of the ghost portal that had been left open. It was a young female ghost with long blonde hair that was set in a French braid with a blue headband circling around her head, wearing a two-toned light blue princess-style dress with long sleeves, a green band around the waist, and light blue flats.
Said girl had her red eyes glancing around the room while one of her fingers went to tap on her lips that had purple lipstick. "Where could it possibly be?" she floated around the room while looking at the ground trying to catch sight of her amulet. It had taken some time before she realized that she no longer had it since when she returned to the kingdom, she had tried her best to avoid her brother. However, when she noticed that she didn't have it, she panicked and rushed back to the portal to see if she could find it. "I hope I find it soon. I do not wish to create another one, for it would drain me of my strength."
One thing that very few knew, even within the kingdom, was that the cursed amulets that they had during their lives had become ghostly artifacts during their death. The amulets had become more of a catalyst for the transformation than the actual cause but due to constant use of the amulet, small residual energies remain in the jewelry so that anyone that is wearing it will become a mirror image of the dragon form the original took. Now, being that the transformation was now part of their being, they had the ability to recreate said amulet to replace it should the previous one be destroyed. The drawback was that it required a lot of energy and tired the ghost out.
The girl searched the entire room and could not see any trace of it nor could she feel its presence since she was linked to it. "Oh dear, what could have happened to it?" she paused as she heard someone shouting from a higher level
"Maddie! Are you down there!"
"Eep!" the girl turned intangible and flew up through the ceiling in fright.
Jack came down the stairs in a rush. "Maddie, we ran out of fudge and was wondering if we could go on a fudge run?" He stopped in the middle of the room and looked around only to see that there was no one here. "strange. Could have sworn I heard someone down here." he then gained a big smile. "oh well! I'll go on my own." he then ran upstairs and out the door to go buy some fudge at the store
Danny was laying on his bed while talking to Tucker on the phone. "Listen, Tuck, I'll be fine. It's just a dance, not the end of the world."
{You sure, man? I mean you're the only one from the whole school not going.}
"Don't exaggerate. I'm sure there's a few others that aren't going."
{Dude, even Nathan is going.}
Danny winced at that. He didn't have anything against Nathan but if you look at the school social standings, Nathan can be considered at the bottom. Not that he and Tucker were that much higher. "Ouch. Now I really feel lousy."
{Sorry, Danny.}
Danny sighed. "No, it's fine. I might just go for a flight around the city. I'm starting to like flying really."
{Well, if you're sure.}
Danny was about to say something when a blue wisp came out of his mouth as he gasped. "Uh oh."
{Sense go off?}
"Yeah."
{Want me to help?}
Danny shook his head, despite his friend not being able to see him do it. "No. You still have to get ready for your date. I can probably handle this."
{Alright. Later dude. Kick its butt hard.}
Danny chuckled as he hung up. He put his phone down before he said. "I'm Going Ghost!" He chose not to shout since Jazz was in her room and he wasn't sure where in the house his parents were. As he was in the middle of his transformation, he noticed something off. The white rings of light that flowed over his body to transform him were usually just a solid ring but as they passed him, he could not help but see that they almost seemed like tiny white flickers like a fire with some sort of white mist coming off. Once his transformation was done he reached his hand out and waved in the air rapidly. Oddly enough, it didn't feel warmer, it felt colder. "Huh, weird." He shook his head as he figured he imagined it and he needed to focus on finding the ghost that caused his ghost sense to go off.
The girl flew high into the air and was astounded by the sight of modern civilization. Metallic carriages that moved without the aid of horses, the people walking around in strange clothing, and the city seemed so much more cheery. She put her finger to her lip in contemplation. She knew that she should be searching for her amulet but she had always been curious about the modern human world and now she had a chance to explore it. After a minute of contemplating, she made her choice. She became invisible and flew to ground level before she chose to walk around.
Danny flew into the air above his house and got into a ready stance in case the ghost attacked the second he showed up but to his surprise, he didn't see anything. He twirled around to find what set off his ghost sense but there wasn't a sign of it. "Huh? Usually when I show up the ghost attacks me." he floated around the air in a circle until his ghost sense went off again. "Is this thing on the fritz?" testing out a random thought he did the same circle and when he reached the same spot again, it went off. "Maybe it went into the city or something?" Not really having anything else to do, he chose to fly in the general direction his sense told him the ghost was.
~in the city~
The ghost girl could not hold in her amazement at the many different sights she walked past. The people holding small metallic devices that showed moving pictures, the carriages that moved at great speeds, the flashing signs that grabbed your attention, many different types of clothing not only worn by the people but displayed behind large glass walls. Something she noticed was that many of the young females were purchasing dresses while the males were retrieving clean looking clothing that could be thought to be for royalty, for what clearly was a high-class event. "What wonders this world has."
She kept spinning around in awe at the sights, not really watching where she was going but thanks to her intangibility and invisibility, she merely walked through the people.
However, thanks to this, the people kept getting chills.
Danny was flying through the sky trying to locate the ghost that kept setting off his ghost sense. In fact, it got to the point that he himself was starting to shiver. Not only that but every now and then as he shivered, his back would start to itch if not sting. "This is starting to get old fast. Where is that ghost?" he landed on the roof of one of the buildings and let out another blue wisp. "Oh great. I'm starting to think that you are just going off to make my day harder." he looked down to see many of his classmates buying what they were going to wear for the dance and much like Tucker told him, he even saw Nathan walking down the street with a large bouquet of roses that had Valerie's name on it. He couldn't help but chuckle at this as he knew that Nathan had a slight obsession with the A-lister. "Wonder what he would do if he knew Tucker was going to the dance with her." His mood then dropped again as he remembered that he was the only one not going. "Wonder what it would have been like to go?" It was then that his sense went off again and as he was looking at the group of kids begin to shiver randomly. He quirked an eyebrow as he saw this but it was then that he noticed that it seemed to be going in a pattern. "Huh?" as the pattern gained more distance he realized that his ghost sense was going off less and less. "Maybe…" he flew after the pattern and activated his invisibility to avoid being spotted by the people. It was thanks to this that he finally saw what was setting his ghost sense off.
The ghost girl started to feel the strain of keeping invisibility and intangibility active for so long and chose to rest. She flew up to the top of a very large building that had the word. "Mall" on it, and released her ghost powers as she looked back down at the bustling city. "So many wondrous sights and the people are so fascinating. I wish to explore this city more."
"I hope that means that you won't cause any trouble for me."
The female ghost yelped in surprise as she spun around to see another ghost floating in the air and looking down at her with his arms crossed. She withered under his gaze as she remembered the oppression and scrutiny she usually received from her brother when he took up the same pose. "F-forgive me! I...I did not mean to intrude and….and…."
Danny saw the panic this ghost girl gained at just him appearing and brought his hands up in a placating manner. "Woah Woah calm down!" he landed onto the roof so he wouldn't be looking down at her. "I just want to know what you are doing here." he looked at the girl and saw that she seemed…..scared of him? 'This is new. Usually, I get angry looks and growls, not timid words…...then again the only ones that I have dealt with before are those Ecto animals, the Lunch Lady and Box ghost.' he lowered his fists to make himself seem less threatening and smiled at her. "so, mind telling me who you are and what you're doing?"
The girl felt a bit less fearful now that he didn't seem so serious. Registering the question she clasped her hands in front of her and gave a small bow. "Please forgive me for intruding. My name is Dorthea, I had come here in search of something but as I came upon the sight of the city, I wished to explore."
Danny immediately noticed that the way she spoke seemed old fashioned. The tone seemed like something he heard in a medieval play and now that he thought about it, she dressed like she was from those times. "Ok, Dorthea. What do you plan to do in the city?" he tightened his fists in case her answer was something he didn't like.
Dorthea clasped her hands in front of her in fear as she saw him become serious once again and feared being punished, especially since she did not have her amulet. "I-I merely wished to see the wonders here. I have not seen so many fascinating wonders."
Danny blinked again and lowered his hands before rubbing the back of his head since he now felt guilty making a girl so fearful. "Sorry. I'm not used to ghosts just coming here as a tourist."
Dorthea sighed in relief as the serious mood once again vanished. "That is quite alright. I am aware that many spirits may come off as malicious." It was then that a loud noise was heard and her curiosity got the better of her as she moved to the edge of the building and looked down to see the noise coming from one of the metal carriages. "What is that?" she asked herself not really expecting an answer
Danny heard the question and moved to the edge as well and looked at what she was looking at. "he's honking his horn."
Dorthea looked befuddled at this. "Are you positive that it is a horn? I had not before heard one with such an odd sound."
Danny looked confused for a second. "All cars have a horn in them that sounds like that."
"'Cars'?"
Danny was starting to see what was going on with this ghost. "haven't you seen a car before?" seeing her shake her head, he nodded as he pointed at the one that was honking. "Those things are called cars. They have a horn on the steering wheel to get other drivers' attention."
Dorthea looked back at the now named car as she tilted her head. "how are they able to move without the use of a horse?"
Danny began to explain some of the mechanics of the engine as best as he could. He didn't know much but he knew a good bit about how it worked since at one point his parents had taken apart a car engine and converted it into one of their ecto energy converters. He was in the lab while they did it and he overheard some of the things they talked about when they were tearing it apart.
He couldn't help but chuckle at the look of wonder she had on her face as she took in everything he said. "...and with that, the wheels move on their own, allowing the car to move and the steering wheel allows the driver to turn in the direction they want to go."
"Remarkable. To have such easy transportation that anyone may use."
Danny found it amusing that such an everyday thing was so foreign to this ghost. It was then that he got a good look at her and something about her seemed familiar but he knew that he never met her before. 'I think I would remember meeting a ghost girl that wasn't trying to kill me.' he was brought out of his musing when Dorthea asked him another question
"What are those small devices that everyone seems to possess?" she pointed down at a group of teenagers that were pressing something to their ears
Danny followed the finger and smiled as he pulled out his phone. "These are called cell phones. They let us talk to people that are far away. They can also be used to look up stuff on the internet."
Dorthea moved closer to him and looked at the small device in his hand. "You are able to communicate using this without the use of messengers?"
Danny was a little nervous now that she was so close and something he just now noticed was that she was slightly taller than him. 'Now I feel short.' He chuckled as he held it out to her for her to take. He didn't see the harm in letting her see it
Dorthea gingerly took the device and could not help but marvel how light it was. "To be able to speak to a faraway person." it was then that it began making a ringing noise and she was so startled that she threw it into the air
"Gah!" Danny jumped to catch his phone so it wouldn't break. He didn't want his parents to fix it since the last time he let them do that, it blasted a burn mark on his ceiling. He sighed in relief that he caught it before it hit the ground and looked at the caller ID. seeing who it was, he looked to Dorthea and figured 'what the heck' and transformed back into his human form before answering. "Hey mom."
The reason he had to transform back to his human self was that Tucker had told him that when he was in his ghost form, his voice gained an echo and eerie tone to it, making it sound slightly different and could be thought of as someone else. Which helped since he didn't want people to know it was him. Dorthea seemed to be trustworthy and he figured that it would be ok that she saw his human form
{Hi, Sweetie. We were wondering where you were? Shouldn't you be getting ready for the dance?}
Danny sighed as he rubbed his head. "Mom. I don't have a date so there isn't any point for me to go."
{Sorry, Danny. I thought you would have found someone to go with you.}
"None of the girls I asked were free. But it's ok, I'm just going to walk around the city for a while before I head home." he said in a defeated tone
As he was talking Dorthea was stunned by the sudden change in appearance he went through. It was the first time she had seen a change like this. Sure she was used to seeing her brother change into his dragon form as well as herself but as grandiose as it was this was far more subdued and yet just as intriguing. It was then that she remembered her brother speaking about a being that did something like this. Aragon had done business with someone who could change his appearance with the forming of black rings. 'But ... .oh dear, I did not ask his name. However, the rings I saw were white and the one that my brother spoke of was an older gentleman so it must not be him.'
She could not help but observe the differences in the forms. Before he had hair as white as the cleanest snow and a uniform that was mostly black as the deepest pit with the gloves and boots as white as his hair. His posture had changed as well. Before he held at the ready and although not much he held some confidence in himself. Now he had black hair wearing a white shirt that had red trimmings and a red oval in the center. His pants and footwear were much like many of the other teens on the street and his posture had become much laxer.
Danny did not pay attention to Dorthea as he was more focused on the fact that his mother went off on a bit of a tangent about how girls that aren't going after him were missing out. 'She has no idea how low on the school food chain I am.'. "Yeah, mom. It's their loss" he gave a dry chuckle as he said that.
Maddie smiled at this {yes it is! Anyway, your father and I will be in the basement when you come home and dinner will be in the fridge.}
Danny shook his head. "Alright mom. I'll be home later."
{Alright, sweety. Be careful.}
"Alright, bye." he hung up the phone and sighed. "'Their loss'...yeah….. sure." he then remembered his companion and saw that she was looking at him in curiosity. He nervously chuckled as he rubbed the back of his neck. "uh….surprise."
Dorthea decided to ask what was on her mind. "how are you able to change form in such a way?" she floated around him in fascination.
Danny chuckled as he nervously shuffled on his feet. "It's a long story." he then transformed back into Phantom. He looked at his phone and thought about what he told his mother and felt that doing just what he said could help. Going around the city can help. It was then that he got an idea that might be fun. He looked at Dorthea and smiled. "Hey since this is your first time seeing the city, how about giving you a tour?"
Dorthea's mind was on the transformation she had just seen. For a single moment she….felt something coming from him but it was so quick that she might have missed it if she wasn't paying attention to him. But it was forgotten when he offered to give her a tour of the city. She gained a wide smile as she clasped her hands. "A tour! Really?"
Danny now felt even more nervous as he blushed at the fact that he offered to give a ghost, a female one at that, a tour. He figured that it was mostly because he wanted to do something tonight since everyone in his school was going to the dance while he would be a tour guide. "Sure. if you want."
Dorthea nodded with a wide smile as she felt happy that she could get more knowledge about the modern world.
So excited about this that she had forgotten about her original purpose for being in the human world
Danny chuckled at her nodding as he began to float in the air with her following. "Well, welcome to Tour de Phantom. I'll be your guide and I will show you around the city of Amity Park."
She giggled at his funny persona and followed him with both becoming invisible as he led her around the city pointing out several areas of interest as well as answering her questions about some of the modern civilization
~that night~
Dorthea was having a wonderful time seeing the large skyscrapers, motor vehicles, and modern commodities. The Kingdom she comes from has been stuck in old times by the will of Aragon. Therefore they have remained in the dark ages. It was thanks to dwelling in such an environment that she gained a curiosity about the modern age but due to the restrictions of the kingdom and the lack of a portal that she could not go look at it. Now she gained the chance and she now has a guide to it.
Danny didn't know that he could have fun being a tour guide to the city he has lived in all his life. But Dorthea's enthusiasm and childish glee in learning about something about their world made it enjoyable. They were now flying back towards Fenton Works as they had explored the city. From the docks to the amusement park. Flying made it easy to get around fast. "And that ladies and gentlemen, is the end of our tour. I hope you enjoyed the city and all the oddities that it has."
Dorthea smiled at this and was about to say something until she heard some sort of music playing to her right. Letting her curiosity get the better of her, she flew towards it.
Danny noticed her heading off in another direction and shook his head in amusement as she had done this multiple times during the tour. It was then that he noticed what she was going towards as he heard the music and the lights that were flashing.
Dorthea landed on the roof and looked through a skylight. Down inside the building she saw many teens dancing around with such quick music playing. It looked to be a party that royals attended and she could not help but feel a slight sense of jealousy.
Danny landed next to her and looked down at the dance that held everyone in his school. He sighed as he wanted to avoid thinking about not being at it but turns out he did get to go to the dance just not the way he thought.
"What event are they celebrating?" she pressed her hands on the glass as she watched the teens dance and have a good time
Danny smiled ruefully. "they aren't really celebrating an event. The dance was just set up for the school to have a good time."
Dorthea turned her head to look at Danny and noticed the forlorn look. "tis the same schooling that you attend, is it not? Why have you not joined them?"
Danny sighed as he looked down at the dance. "didn't have anyone to go with. And at the end of the day, it's just a dance."
Dorthea gained a saddened look as she could see that he had a bit of want to go but said that no one would go with him. She then remembered what had caused her previous dragon outburst. "there was a ball that I wished I could have gone to…."
Danny looked at the girl wondering why she was bringing something like this up
"However, my brother had forbidden me from attending. I had wanted to go so much but I was not allowed. It would seem we both desired to attend such an event."
Danny chuckled a bit as he looked down and saw his friend Tucker talking with Valerie. "Yeah, I guess you're right." It was then that he heard that the upbeat music changed into a slow song and again he found himself doing something he normally wouldn't do. "Hey, Dorthea?"
The girl looked up at him. "yes?" she was surprised to see him take a step back and brought his hand up
Danny didn't know why but he knew that if he was in his human form he would not have the nerve to even do this. But while in Phantom form, he always seemed to gain a bit more confidence and nerve. He brought his hand up and asked. "Would the fair lady care to dance?" He couldn't stop the slight nervous tone but hey he was able to at least ask.
Dorthea looked at the hand before back to his eyes to see he was completely serious if not a bit nervous. For a moment she thought about it and felt nervous about doing such a thing as she was usually forbidden from enjoying herself. But no one from her kingdom was here to report back to her brother so what could be the harm. She gently placed her hand in his and for a split second she felt something familiar again, but she shook it off. "I would be honored, my good sir."
Danny brought her up and placed his free hand on her hip as she used hers to lift the hem of her dress to the side. They waited for a beat and as if on cue the two began to dance to the slow rhythm of the music.
~Play. "A thousand Years" by Christina Perri.~ (imagine the dance at the end of the animated Sleeping beauty)
Danny was doing his best to get the steps right as he had little to no practice in dancing. He had only seen it in some movies and shows that his sister would sometimes watch. Not only that but with her being slightly taller he had to look up slightly. But he didn't seem to mind as something inside him felt a sense of familiarity with her now that they had physical contact, like a new part of him felt like a part of her. It was then he noticed that despite how cold her skin felt, it was surprisingly soft and her hold in his hand was gentle. Which struck him as odd that he could feel through his cloves but he could. He made sure not to be so tense and held her in just as gentle a manner as he danced with her
Dorthea could not help but feel elated about dancing with this boy she had just met not hours ago. Not only that but he held her as if she was but a delicate flower that deserved to be tended to. Much different from how she was usually treated back in her kingdom.
The citizens of the kingdom held her in some form of reverie; she was put on high standings and pressured for many things. Her brother always looked down on her as if she was not meant to even be in his presence despite being his sibling and a princess of the kingdom.
To be treated much like…. the fairy tale princesses she had read when she was a child, filled her heart with a pleasant sensation. Not only that but as her hand held his, she felt that there was a connection that she could not describe. It was almost like the connection she had with her amulet but it was different somehow. But she chose not to dwell on this as she continued to dance with him, looking down into the eyes of the slightly shorter boy.
As they continued to dance, they did not realize that the two began to float in the air and began to dance in the night sky with the light from the moon shining down upon them. Now in the air, they were now more eye level but they had not noticed as they just enjoyed dancing with each other.
They continued to dance even as the music had faded away and soon their dance had become slower as she released the hem of her dress and moved one of her hands to his shoulder with the other on his bicep, while his went to her hips. They were now closer to each other with her breasts pressed against his chest but it did not matter to them.
Danny had enjoyed his time with Dorthea, more than he thought he would. Here he was with a ghost and instead of being attacked, he dances with her. 'Guess this day came out better than I thought.'
Dorthea felt so happy about this. Being held so gently and seeing no hostility or expectations in his eyes. This was the most enjoyment she had in her entire afterlife and should this be the last happy moment she ever has again, she would cherish it forever. As she looked into his caring eyes, she felt an urge. Something she had not felt before and it was telling her to do something. It was then her gaze dropped to his smile. 'He has such a cute smile. Such a handsome smile.' She noticed how close they were. 'So close. Close enough that I could….' she did not notice her head closing in. she just focused on the boy in front of her. She just…
Danny had not noticed her move as he was mesmerized by how pretty she was. He had not really thought about it before, but she was a very lovely girl. He assumed that based on her looks, she could be slightly older than him but since she was dead, it was a given. 'Guess I got to go to the dance after all.' It was then that he felt something press against his lips. He saw that she had closed her eyes and her face was extremely close to his
"Hmm~"
It was then he went wide-eyed as he realized that she had placed her cold yet soft and gentle lips on his. She was…...kissing him! 'WHAT THE…..!' His brain had shut down and he didn't know what to do. He couldn't move, he couldn't breathe even though he didn't really need to as a ghost. 'Wha-Wha-Wha-Wha!'
She did not really know what she was doing. As she was kissing him, she ran her hand over his biceped while the hand that was on his shoulder lowered to his chest. There was not much to him physically in terms of muscle but….she was ok with that. His gentle nature and kindness had been what had captured her.
Dorthea's eyes snapped open as she pushed back and panicked. "F-forgive me! I…...I had not meant to…..I…..I just ...! Forgive me!" she backed up as she lowered her head in a submissive manner
Danny floated there in shock as he pressed his hand on his lips. 'I...she …..first kiss…..what…..just happened?' he shook his head when he saw the panic she had and swallowing the lump in his throat he floated closer to her. She was not looking at him as she was looking down as if she was waiting for yelling or something. He brought his hand up and hesitated for a second before placing his hand on her shoulder. He noticed her flinch at his contact but spoke in a stuttering manner. "I...um ….w-w-well….um...it….i-it's o-okay." his cheeks blushed green as he looked to the side. "I-it...wasn't bad."
Dorthea lifted her head and she was expecting a look of anger but instead, she saw a look of embarrassment as he could not look her in the eye. It was then that his words registered in her mind and she felt a little less fearful as she straightened herself before bowing. "Please forgive my rudeness. I should not have done that without your consent."
Danny coughed into his fist as he tried to get some words to come out. "Well….. that's one way to end this little event. How about we head back to the portal."
Dorthea nodded as she watched him turn around and begin to fly towards the portal she came from. Despite how she had kissed him without his consent, she could not help the blush appear on her cheeks as she smiled up at him. She flew after him, both becoming invisible to avoid being seen.
~Fenton works basement~
Danny and Dorthea phased into the lab with the boy smiling that his parents weren't in the lab at the time. The two landed in front of the glowing green portal as Dorthea walked up to it.
She looked back and smiled. What started out as a search for her amulet became a night she could never forget. She smiled at Danny as she grabbed the hem of her dress and did a deep curtsy. "Sir Phantom, I thank you for granting me this wondrous night."
Danny, feeling the need to react in kind, did a gentleman's bow to her. "It was my pleasure, milady."
For a few seconds, they stood in those positions before they both let out chuckles at their antics.
Dorthea smiled at him as she stood up. "But truly, thank you."
Danny straightened himself as he nodded. "I had fun being your tour guide as well as your….dance partner." He turned away as he rubbed the back of his neck.
The two blushed as they recalled how enthralled they were during the dance as well as what it led to.
Dorthea cleared her throat. "Well, Sir Phantom, it is time I bid you a fond farewell."
Danny smiled as he nodded. "Well, I'm glad you showed up. So I'll see you some other time."
Dorthea nodded as she did one last curtsy before she turned into green flaming mist and went into the portal.
Danny watched as she left before sighing with a smile, went intangible and flew up to his room
~Ghost Zone~
Dorthea made her way towards the kingdom as she thought about what she had to do when she returned. Tonight she would spend the entire night reconstructing her amulet. She will feel tired for a good while but she will have her amulet back so she won't have to worry about it. She thought back to the dance she had with Sir Daniel and allowed her blush to appear on her face. For the first time in a very long time she was thankful for her brother's cruelty for if it wasn't for that, she would not have met the strapping young man.
~Danny's room~
Danny landed on the ground and transformed back into his human form. It was then that his back began to burn. It started out as a soft heat, but it soon became excruciating as he fell to his knees and clutched at his back. "Argh! What?!" He did his best to keep quiet so as to not alert Jazz or his parents. The burning grew to the point that he felt that he would pass out from the pain but as quickly as it came, it left. Danny was on the ground sweating heavily as he tried to regain his breath. "What was that?" He got up to his feet before walking out of his room and towards the bathroom. Closing the door, he took off his shirt and turned around so he could see his back in the mirror. But he didn't see anything wrong with it. Just the normal back of a skinny teen though he did see a bruise in the center. He remembered that he got that from fighting the Octopuses yesterday. The bruise was already half the size which meant that by tomorrow it should be gone. "Maybe the damage was worse than I thought." He sighed as he turned his head back and walked to where he threw his shirt.
Unbeknownst to him, a small part of his back gained a pattern on it. On closer inspection, they looked like very tiny plating just over his left shoulder blade with a few more showing up.
End of chapter
The reason I did not write her name as Dora was because her full name on the database was Dorthea she will be named Dora but later on.
As I saw in the episode, it was because of Sam that Danny even went up to Paulina to ask her to the dance and Paulina only ever agreed because she thought he and her were dating and the latina wanted to break them up just because she wanted to. I cannot EVER accept such a shallow, self centered LITTLE PIECE OF…*sigh* sorry but the idea purposefully breaking someone up gets to me
The dance they had in my head could be seen similar to the one at the end of the animated Sleeping beauty. FOR THE LIFE OF ME I could not find any other piece of music that would work with the dance scene in my head.
