54. A Quick Peek

DISCLAIMER: This is a LONG CHAPTER. My bad...

---

A Quick Peek…

"So.. with Bloom as our winner, and the 11 girls that followed, because I had two of them share a spot as one of them was the only returning girl from the original runners up, that means we have 18 girls left to talk about, right?" NeoMark asks.

"Well… yeah. Mathematically speaking." FP11 points out.

"Well… not really. See? Since Kim, Gwen and Violet were the only girls from the original story to be featured in the runners up, that means we have 7 characters we don't have to feature because they already had their brief futures… or actual future in Makoto's case." NeoMark said.

"A future you have yet to finish writing about, Neo." Luiz4200 replied.

"That will be finished when Neo finishes it." BCFW said.

"You're not gonna make too huge changes, right? Because it might get confusing." FP11 wondered what he had in mind.

"Well… I think what you featured in those brief snippets are decent enough that there wasn't a whole lot to change. But there is only one thing I'd have done differently." NeoMark said.

"What is it?" FP11 asks.

"We don't really need to feature the 'Yes, you read it, Danny's her boyfriend' part that was in each snippet because, no offense but, it was pretty obvious that they were dating in those snippets, since the whole point was showing a brief bit of how things would have gone if he picked those girls." NeoMark said. "It doesn't bug me like that typo did… but it felt unnecessary."

"I see you're still not over a stupid typo…" FP11 added with a bit of snark. "So I guess that means you won't be adding that, huh?"

"Nope." NeoMark answered. "I'm also just going to tell you guys what their future after their dating will briefly be, namely the names of their kids. You're free to think of more kids after, but I'm settling for just the ones they'd have in the 15 year time skip if I did a full future scene."

"I see." FP11 said.

"That's fair, I did the same thing in my happy ending segment of Danny and Kitty." 61394 said.

"Sounds good." BCFW said with a thumbs up.

"I'm curious about their future as well." Luiz4200 said.

"Yeah, it's pretty fair that the runners up have very similar futures." PFN said.

"So… since I'm only doing the new girls… that means… Cree, Jen, Wendy, April, Makoto… that one hurts the most… Penny and Starfire? Cut. All but one of them got their futures and/or stories, so there." NeoMark said.

"Uh… Cree didn't. She was a bad date, second worst after Vicky in the original and worst in yours." 61394 said.

"True… also, I'm not going to include Star Butterfly, the other bad date, in this. Mostly because I didn't see much of a need to feature the 2 that Danny wasn't going to pick at all… and because I just wanna get this over with." NeoMark rubbed his temples.

"You know… you don't have to be so strict with yourself on deadlines. You need to relax." FP11 said gently.

"Indeed. Though it can be a motivator." BCFW scratched his chin with one finger, the thought lingered in his mind.

"Maybe but… I just wanna make cartoon characters play Yu-Gi-Oh now… so Imma wrap this all up with the 10 remaining girls. Abby, Leni, Lapis, Melissa, Bridgette, Yuki, Clawdeen, Liz, Skipper and Lunar…" NeoMark went.

"That last one's going to be different than the rest." 61394 commented.

"So… will you include some deleted scenes like in the original? Because I'm curious." FP11 had raised her hand and spoke of what she did in the original tale.

"Probably… at least 5… Nothing too serious, just stuff I could've added for fun in the previous chapters that did still happen… but doesn't really contribute to much." NeoMark says. "Although…"

"Just 5?" PFN asks.

"I noticed that, because I had Kim and Samantha share a spot… we have a top 12. Maybe… we can show brief, very brief, futures with the 3 girls. 2 of them were below the runners up. 1 is just for me because after all this… I feel like that's fair." NeoMark said. "That way, it's 15 girls whose kids we get to meet."

"...why? You've already got so much on your plate, why do more?" 61394 asks.

"... because you will have noticed something of a pattern here. I kept 10 old girls, replaced 5 with girls from their home series, 15 new girls entirely… I had 10 girls return in the Break Arc, 5 of them had their clones featured… clearly, the number 5 is something of a recurring theme here, so I wanna end it on a number divisible by 5." NeoMark said.

"... I guess you like your patterns." Luiz4200 commented.

"My obsessive mind won't let me leave it be…" NeoMark said.

"Okay… so…" FP11 awkwardly began. "So… should we start with a deleted scene already?"

"Good idea!" NeoMark said as he rubbed his hands. "Our first scene would be…"

From Danny's date with Kula, prior to the Ferris Wheel and meeting K'

Kula's mouth was covered in chocolate thanks to the large bar she was eating.

This girl could put every ice cream shop and candy store out of business… Who am I kidding? She'd make it so everyone there could retire comfortably… Danny thought with a semi-amused smile.

"Ahh~... yummy." Kula went with a big smile on her face.

"Careful, I think there's some chocolate left…" Danny snarked.

"Really? Where?" Kula looked at the wrapper with an eager smile.

"Here." Danny pointed to the area around her mouth. "Lemme get that…"

Reaching for napkins from a nearby dispenser, he started to clean off the chocolate stains all around her face.

As he did so, Kula's eyes widened at how he was doing so while not doing any harm to her.

This act caused her cheeks to turn pink before Danny noticed her somewhat lost expression.

"Forget something?" He asks with an eyebrow raised.

"Hmm? Oh… uh…" Kula pulled back a bit, eyes darting away with a nervous smile. "No! Not at all…"

Before Danny could question her, he heard a voice from afar.

"Come one, come all!" A woman's voice called out. "If you wish to learn the way of the ninja properly, the Shiranui clan will welcome you! No fake ninjas!"

"Shiranui clan?" Danny asks.

"Oh… that's Mai Shiranui…" Kula said with a somewhat flat look, upset Danny wasn't looking at her face anymore.

"Learn the way of the ninja? Is this like… one of those dojos from those movies where they insist they train you in the way of the ninja… but they're more like glorified karate or something?" Danny asks.

"No… she's an actual ninja." Kula said. "Although… I'm not sure you should go and see what she looks like."

"Why? Skin-tight leather or something? Or is it culturally offensive?" Danny jokingly asks.

"Uh… well…" Kula's eyes darted away with a nervous look on her face. "Probably not a good idea to go see what she looks like." She looked to see Danny already walking in that direction. "Aaaannnddd… he's gone." She muttered before following him.

Danny saw the crowd that surrounded Mai, interested in what she looked like.

"Scuse me…" He said, managing to get between two people before he felt a hand grab his and pull him back. "Hey!"

It was Kula, who looked disapproving at what he was doing.

"Let's just say her outfit is attracting a different kind of attention. Not the one she wants." Kula said.

"So, like Wonder Woman?" Danny asks.

"...sort of." Kula responded as she tugs his arm some more. "Come on…"

Danny, though curious, figured that Kula may have felt less than attractive compared to this Mai Shiranui. As such, he decided against seeing what she looked like.

"Okay, Kula." He said to calm her, which worked as he saw a smile in relief.

Once the two got far enough, Kula looked down to her own body with a nervous look in her eye. She stopped walking.

"Danny?" Kula turned her head, her expression somewhat unreadable to him.

"Do you think I'm… hot?" She asks like a small child with minimal understanding.

"...what?" He asks, his face turning red.

"It's just… Mai Shiranui is so… beautiful that… umm…" Kula's embarrassment got the better of her as she turned her head and looked away. "Never mind!"

She looked mortified with herself for even daring to ask such a thing to someone she met today.

She was, internally, a small child because of her time with NESTS. She never let it bother her, but being with a boy who she found herself actually enjoying her time with made her feel inadequate, being behind mentally and likely physically.

"I… think you're pretty. Does that help?" Danny, hoping to calm her, suddenly spoke.

Hearing that snapped her out of her thoughts. She looked to see an honest, if somewhat nervous, look on Danny's face, as if he feared saying that would hurt her feelings.

Instead, her insecurity seemed to slowly melt as she looked touched.

"It does…" She said, her cheeks turning pink a moment.

Relieved his compliment worked, Danny smiled back as he offered his hand.

"So… where to next?" He offers, wanting to make sure she has a good time.

Touched even further, Kula took his hand.

"I saw a stand selling cupcakes! Let's go get some with lotsa frosting!" She went, beaming with joy.

"Of course…" Danny let out a small laugh.

The two went off together, Danny deciding that the only girl he's going to pay attention to today was Kula.

Kula, as they walked, felt her face become even warmer.

I don't think I've ever met someone who makes me feel like this before… She thought happily as she held onto Danny's hand as if it were a lifeline.

"WHAT?! NO MAI?!" Deadpool cried, clutching the monitor so tightly.

"Sorry, Deadpool. But, as Sakurai himself said, Mai isn't for good little boys and girls." NeoMark said.

"NOOOOO-HOOO-HOO-HOOOOOO!" Deadpool got on his knees and slammed his fist onto the floor.

"I'd say I feel sorry for you Wade but I'm not a good liar …" 61394 snarked.

"I'm with Wade on this one. While Mai is not for children, I don't think that demographic is here. Plus, you don't have to go into detail on her outfit." BCFW said, patting Deadpool on the back.

PFN laughed at Deadpool's sorrow, something that made the Merc send an icy glare at him.

"Sorry about that DP. I guess I thought your sorrow was funny." PFN explained.

"Moving on…" FP11 rolled her eyes. "So… start our first glimpse of another girl?"

"Right." NeoMark went. "So… since the snippets featured the girls in order of their introductions… mostly… I'm gonna do the same."

"Mostly?" FP11 questioned.

"I think one or two of them were out of order." NeoMark said. "Everyone excited?"

"Yes!" Luiz4200 said.

"Alright, let's get going." PFN happily said.

"Alright, I guess that means Abby from Grossology is first, right? Am I right?" FP11 went before seeing Deadpool was still in the way. "Deadpool? Not to be unsympathetic to your attachment to a woman who could break every bone in your body but… any chance you could move so that we can get back to work?"

"Sure…" Deadpool sniffed before moving out of the way.

"At least the Warners aren't here…" NeoMark went. "Yakko and Wakko would-"

"BOO!" Both brothers were out the window, expressing anger that Mai wasn't shown in her iconic outfit.

"Of course…" NeoMark rolled his eyes. "Okay, here's Abby."

---

In Canada

Abby Archer was on her day off from school, along with no sign of a Grossologist being needed.

She was on her way to the mall, hoping to see a new movie later, waiting for her date. She arrived at the main entrance, curious what was taking him.

"Hmm… he should be here soon if he left at least 2 hours ago." She said, looking at her phone while tapping her foot.

"I actually left 30 minutes ago…" The voice she was waiting for caught her attention. "A friend showed me a quicker way."

Turning her head, she saw Danny Fenton walk towards her, a small bit of his hair sticking out unnaturally.

"You're early… by your standards." She smiled at him as she reached out to adjust his hair, pushing what stuck out back in. "Did you hurry or were you attacked again?"

"Neither, I took a nap because last night I had to wake up early because of a sudden spike in ghost activity." He responded.

"Bedhead, eh?" She asks. "So… you brought it?"

"Right here." Danny held the bag from Nasty Burger up.

"The sauce was changed, right?" She asks.

"It was. It doesn't taste the same, but at least it won't explode when heated up." Danny responded.

Taking the burger out, Abby took a bite, judging the taste.

"True. Still, who in their right mind approved of such a sauce? The only thing that's gross there is negligence…" Abby snarked while chewing.

"Ah, so the Queen of Squeem has limits to the gross things she's okay with?" Danny mused.

"Hey now, Grossologists have standards too, ya know." Abby responds as she halfway finishes. "So… after this, we can check out the re-release of Attack of The The Eye Creatures."

"You said The twice." Danny pointed out.

"Blame the guy who put that twice on the title card, it's just more fun to say." Abby smiled as she finished the burger.

"I guess so." Danny offered his arm. "Shall we, my queen?"

Abby took his arm, planting a kiss on the side of his head.

"Let's go, my handsome knight." She responded.

With that, the couple made their way into the mall, eager to have a great day together.

---

"Ah… they're going to watch The Eye Creatures." Deadpool nodded.

"Wait… that's a real movie? Seriously?" FP11 asked, surprised by such a name.

"Public domain. Even if we were making money off this, we wouldn't be in any trouble name-dropping it." NeoMark responded.

"Like Popeye is now." 61394 said.

"I see." BCFW smiled heartily. "Then everyone, remember to support these artists." He said, pointing to the reader.

"So… you said you'd show a brief look at their future?" 61394 was reminded of the little snippets. "What are you going to show us?"

"Well, we're not going to go through a series of questions for these, but I suppose it's worth just… a quick peek… at their futures." NeoMark said. "Eh, see what I did there?"

"I'm the funny one." Deadpool said.

"No, you're not." NeoMark said.

"Yes, I am." Deadpool insists.

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

"No, you're not."

"Yes, I am."

"No, y-"

"You're both equally amusing, okay? Less fighting, more Danny." 61394 jumped in to stop the fighting.

"So… Abby's future with Danny? Please or we're going to get into another argument." PFN impatiently said.

"Yes, we wanna know that." Luiz4200 added.

"Alright." NeoMark said.

15 years later

Abigail Archer Fenton, now the director of Grossology, was in her home office, going over files when she heard a knock at the door.

"Come in…" She stood up, showing herself in a business suit for women and her hair now like her mother's, seeing a small boy with her hair and eye color, but her husband's face entering.

"Mommy?" The small boy asks.

"Gabe?" She smiled, seeing the 5-year-old in his yellow footie pajamas enter the room. "I see you're up and about after that cold."

"Yeah… I'm all better." Gabe held his arms out.

This was Gabriel Harvey Fenton, who got his middle name from Abby's father.

"That's good to hear, Angel. Now, are you hungry? Mommy's almost done with work, so we'll grab a bite. Anything you want?" Abby asked.

"Hamburgers..." Gabe said cheerfully as his mother smiled.

"Sounds good..." Abby said as she quickly finished the last of her work. "Go get dressed and we'll go out."

Gabe did as instructed, changing into a more acceptable purple shirt with a lavender stripe and blue jean shorts.

Once done, mother and son soon left to go get dinner. On her way out, Abby received a call on her phone. She smiled when she saw that it was her husband's number.

"Who is it?" Gabe asks.

"Oh, look. It's Daddy..." Abby said, before answering. "Hi. Hon..." Abby greeted.

"Hi, Abby. How are you?" Danny asked on the other side.

"Fine, about to go grab some burgers with Gabe now that he's on his feet..."Abby said as he rustled her son's hair a bit.

"So, he's feeling better, huh? Good to know. Anyway, I'm on my way home. I just need to send Skulker back to the Ghost Zone… again..."Danny said.

"Okay, honey. I'll be sure to get some for you too. Let me guess...your usual double cheese with grilled onions as a combo?" Abby guessed, since that's his favorite from the Nasty Burger.

"You know me well. Thanks Honey. And tell Gabe I'll be there soon..."Danny said before hanging up.

With a smile, Abby let her son into the car.

"Looks like he'll make it in time to eat with us." Abby informs Gabe.

"Yay!" Gabe said as they went off for a bite.

---

"And that's our brief look with their son, Gabriel. Before anyone asks, there is a theme… All their full names end with an L… Abby starts with an A, and two letters away is D for Danny… which is two letters away from G for Gabriel." NeoMark said. "Also, no, I don't wanna spend too much time on naming all of the kids, especially since only 2 more girls will have brief futures shown."

"I see… well, they seem happy together from what we have seen." FP11 commented.

"I kinda wished she was one of the runners up." BCFW said.

"It was a sweet moment." 61394 said.

"It was pretty cool." PFN said.

"I wanted to see Tucker and Sam being grossed out." Luiz4200 said. "Maybe Jazz too.

"NEXT!" Deadpool took out a remote and effectively changed the channel.

In Royal Woods

At the mall, Danny ran as fast as he could, panting hard as he looked for Leni.

Darn… fourth date and I had to make up another excuse… He thought, worrying she left before he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.

"Hey, baby. You miss me?" Leni said, kissing his cheek.

I do… but I gotta go back to Amity Park so I can unload the Thermos, this thing's gonna blow if I use it on one more ghost… He thought.

"Actually, Leni? I gotta go… I'm not feeling so good." Danny lied as he was about to leave.

"But you felt fine earlier..." Leni pointed out.

"Yeah…" Danny avoided eye contact. "But… umm…"

"Wait a minute!" Her hand raised, one finger sticking up. "You can't fool me. I know what's goin' on here..." Leni said, being suspicious.

Danny panicked.

Crud… don't tell me that she's figuring it out... He thought, worried she caught on.

What he heard next would have been an even bigger shock.

"You're constantly running off to call your friends and family to let them know you're far from home, you're trying to make time for me. All of this is a desperate bid for my attention because you're afraid of disappointing me or making me think you don't care!" Leni said, shocking the ghost boy.

Uh...what? Danny thought, not expecting this.

To his surprise, Leni looked more distressed now.

"But what do I do? I pawn you off to your friends while I go shopping? I can't think of some other way to help you feel better..." She said as she walked around in distress.

Danny watched her pace before she paused.

"Leni?" Danny asks.

"OMG, I am so selfish!" Leni gasped as she broke down in tears on her knees.

Seeing this made Danny feel even more guilty about hiding his secret.

"Oh, stop blaming yourself, Leni. I don't wanna see you like this..." He said, feeling awful for lying to her.

"I don't deserve you..."Leni said sadly.

"Of course you do. You are a sweet, trusting, kind, wonderful person, and I don't deserve you." Danny said.

With a smile that reached her eyes, Leni got up.

"You know… if you're super busy, please let me know. I won't hold it against you." Leni said as she took his hand.

"Sure…" Danny said with a small smile as they resumed their date.

I'll reveal my secret another time. He thought.

---

"So… I'm not doing a future for them… but I will say…" NeoMark spoke. "They'll probably have 4 kids since that's the max I go with for Danny. I say… all of them start with an H because that's the letter between D and L, and make all of them 5 letter names. Henry, Haley, Harry and Holly. Boy, girl, boy and girl. And… since black hair is apparently the more dominant gene, let's say at least one of them has blonde hair and the rest all black."

"Kinda rushing that one real quick." Deadpool said.

"I guess so. So… thoughts on kids' names and how Danny and Leni work as a couple?" NeoMark asks.

"I'm kinda disappointed we won't see the future but I think this has a lot of potential. I also like the name theme thing you did there." Flower Princess11 said.

"Gonna be honest, I forgot how adorable this pair is." BCFW stared at the display with a soft hum. "I honestly think things would work out like a mix of chunky and smooth peanut butter. Betcha the naming system would either start with an L or D."

"It would make sense because her family has all L for their kids." PFN said.

"Leni is without a doubt the most compassionate of the Loud kids. so she'd work in either a job where she can interact with young kids like a preschool teacher or with adults. Maybe as a manager of her dad's restaurant. Danny's job doesn't change in these stories, so I have no thoughts." 61394 supposed, his voice echoing because of his Mandalorian helmet.

"Why are you wearing that to talk about the Loud House?" NeoMark asked

"This fandom is incredibly dark and disturbing, more so than Danny's and most of the stories on this site have him as some kind of undead monster or a Guinea pig of the Guys in White."

"Heh… I've seen creepier things with me." Deadpool snarked.

"I don't know enough about The Loud House to comment." Luiz4200 stated.

"Awesome… sorry that pattern I had for them seemed… random. Although, speaking of kids with a pattern to their names… our next deleted scene features two girls whose kids also have a pattern. Rhyming with Danny and having a similar name structure." NeoMark said as the next deleted scene began.

---

Later during the day of the break

After her time in Amity Park, Kim went on another mission to pass the time. This time, she dealt with Drakken and Shego attempting to steal a rare diamond at the same time a man named Tim Scam attempted the same theft.

As Kim managed to tied up Drakken and Shego, she placed the diamond back in its spot.

"So not a problem…" Kim said to herself as she stepped out to watch as Drakken and Shego were taken in by the police, she questioned the presence of the other man. "Now… where'd he go?"

She used her grappling hook to make her way up the museum that was being robbed, reaching the rooftop to see three girls around her age in matching jumpsuits, talking to a compact mirror of some kind.

"He got away…" Alex was complaining, arms crossed.

"I cannot believe the amateur beat us to him…" Clover bemoaned how unfair it was in their mind.

"Believe me, girls, I too find this upsetting. I cannot believe that someone on their staff asked for her help when WOOHP was more than capable of preventing any thefts…" Jerry was on their compowder, sounding upset too.

"Must've been that blue guy and his girlfriend or whatever being involved too. She doesn't normally interfere with anyone we come across…" Samantha tried to reason.

"In any case, girls…just return back home for now." Jerry said.

"Stupid glory hogging cheerleader…" Samantha muttered.

"I heard that." Kim got their attention, crossing her arms and scowling at the trio.

The trio saw her and frowned.

"Well, if it isn't Miss I can do anything..." 'Clover said sarcastically, hands on her hips.

Kim frowned at that and before she could say anything, Sam cut her off.

"You got some nerve interfering with WOOHP business..." Sam said, while Kim frowned more.

"Look, someone called for me and I did what I was asked to do. Don't get mad at me because I'm just doing my job here..." Kim argued.

"So are we. And FYI, you don't have a job, just a hobby of taking what's not yours." Sam argued as the two redheads glared daggers at each other.

"It's not my fault I made it first." Kim crossed her arms with a smug smile.

"Well… being first isn't always what matters! Sometimes… it's the second shot that works." Samantha gestured to herself.

"Second rate is more like it. I'd say someone who can do anything can be the right girl." Kim states with her fists clenching.

The two girls began to snarl like dogs at each other while Clover and Alex stayed out of it but noticed there was even more hostility than usual with Samantha.

"Are they talking about the mission, or that guy they both dated?" Clover rubbed the side of her head.

"Well... if he picks me, then we both know he has good taste in mature women..." Samantha insists.

"Yeah... that or he's too afraid to aim high for me." Kim taunts, making Sam growl at that.

Normally, the two are more levelheaded than this but this was personal for both of them. They both liked the same boy, and felt the other was a threat to what connection they had with him.

"Oh? You think you're such hot stuff, huh?" Samantha said with a sneer.

"Check my slogan. I can do anything." Kim reminded her in a bragging sort of way.

"Can you... take a hike?" Samantha taunted.

Both green-eyed redheads glared at each other with such ferocity that Clover and Alex backed up. Both looked equally as wary before they shared a glance of growing concern.

"Maybe we should let this one slide?" Alex asks.

"Y-Yeah... let the cheerleader take this win, okay Sammy?" Clover attempts to calm her friend down but to no avail.

Before either could do anything the other would regret, Kim's Kimmunicator got her attention.

"Go, Wade." Kim said.

"Your ride's waiting for you." He said.

Turning her head, Kim saw a familiar aviator who was landing her plane nearby, still running.

"That's Bernice... I gotta go." Kim said as she started walking away.

"Hey! You think I'm gonna let you walk away just like that?!" Samantha snapped.

"Please and thank you!" Kim mockingly responds, earning an indignant scowl from Samantha.

"Just know that this isn't over!" Samantha raised a fist in the air. "So I'll let you go... this time!"

"Sorry, can't hear you!" Kim got into the plane as it began to take off.

Once it went in the air, Samantha crossed her arms and looked away with a frown.

"How come she gets better transportation?" She muttered.

That's when their usual method of being transported occurred when the air conditioning of the building opened up and sucked the three in, much to their horror and displeasure.

---

"There you go, deleted scene numero dos." NeoMark nodded.

"I see that rivalry is still happening." FP11 commented.

"Professional competition can sometimes be a good thing, encouraging people to improve." 61394 said, making a so-so motion. "Bad guys got caught and no catfight happened, so I guess it's good here."

"I see you still have Kim having an antagonistic relationship with WOOHP. Can't really see why, but you do you." BCFW said.

"Good point bringing up the 'better transportation' angle." Luiz4200 commented. "Just for curiosity, what do you think Will Du feels about the WOOHP spies?

"Probably not fond." NeoMark says.

"This was pretty good and funny. Next girl, please." PFN said.

"Okay, Deadpool. Next girl." NeoMark said.

---

In the skies and above the oceans

Danny hovered several feet above the waters, the only landmass he could spot barely visible due to distance.

"Where is she?" He asks, wondering when she will arrive.

That's when he saw a blue dot flying towards him, with wings of water keeping her above the seas.

Slowing down her flight, Lapis had her wings extend out to allow her to hover in place, now about 10 feet away from Danny.

"Sorry I'm late, I promised Steven and his father Greg that I'd watch a Li'l Butler marathon with them." She said with an apologetic smile.

"Li'l Butler? That weird show about the kid who had a mustache?" Danny rubbed the side of his head.

"You heard of it?" Lapis asks.

"I know it wasn't exactly a ratings hit… except for that micronation you live in." Danny shrugged. "I mean… my folks think it's charming."

"I admit, it has a strange allure to it." Lapis said nonchalantly as she hovered closer. "So… what is the plan for this date you wish for us to go on?"

Amused by how she described it, Danny gestured to the mainland.

"I was thinking we could catch a movie but… you just saw through a sitcom marathon. So… wanna just take to the skies for now?" Danny asks.

"Always." Lapis smiles as she offers her hand.

Danny took her in his and the two flew upwards.

The ghost boy and the alien gem took off, leaving the ocean below them, soaring through the clouds for several minutes.

The wind rushing through their hair, the warmth of the sun on their faces, the world below them like a canvas painted by a master artist. It was a simple moment, but to Danny, it was perfect.

"So... Lapis? What do you want to do today after this?" Danny asked, his voice barely heard over the wind.

"I'm open to anything a… "girlfriend" does." Lapis said with a polite smile.

"Lapis…" Danny laughed. "Part of this is that we both get a say in what we do. I decided where to go the last 2 times, it's your turn."

Hearing that, Lapis pondered.

"I decide where to go? This is a first for me…" She pondered more and more.

"Any place is fine with me." Danny said as he really just wanted to spend time with her.

"How about… a library?" Lapis suddenly looked curious as she said this.

"...a library?" Danny incredulously said, surprised at her choice.

"I would like to learn a little more about the world outside of what Steven showed me… and I'd love to read about it. I'm a bit of an avid reader…" Lapis said.

"Uh… sure?" Danny shrugged, seeing Lapis smiling but now seeing what she was about to do. "If this is how you wanna spend our time, then I-"

Suddenly, Lapis wrapped her arms around Danny and kissed him.

However, unlike kisses he's received from others. Lapis had her mouth on his, but her lips were not puckered. It seemed more like she was trying to administer CPR to him.

His eyes were widened as hers looked down at him with curiosity. Once she pulled back, she looked to him as if he had an answer.

"Well?" She asks.

"Well… what?" He asks.

"I was told from books Steven and his friend Connie gave me that girls will show their romantic partner their affection with a kiss. Was my first try satisfying?" Lapis asked, sounding equal parts shy and curious.

"Um… we'll work on it…" Danny's face turned red.

"Hmm… I'm guessing that wasn't as effective as I thought it would be. I probably should have practiced…" Lapis looked up and crossed her arms as she wondered how to fix this

"Maybe… later?" Danny nervously responds.

"Right, the library." Lapis said with a smile as she took his hand. "Let's go."

Feeling his nervousness fade from her touch, Danny relaxed.

"Sure." He said.

The two flew off.

---

"So… you're probably wondering… how exactly would these two have kids? Lapis is inorganic, after all." NeoMark questioned.

"Didn't Steven's mother give up her physical form so he can be born?" Deadpool, knowing the answer, gestured for NeoMark to say.

"Well… that only happened because his mother was… umm… Imma be nice and avoid spoilers there for people who haven't seen it yet." NeoMark said. "My idea is that… a few girls that Danny knows… well… donate samples. Let's say… Kim, Samantha, Sakura and Makoto… their first borns become Lapis' kids in a way."

"Really?" FP11 asked.

"OK, that's kind of interesting." PFN said.

"I'm satisfied with that explanation." Luiz4200 said.

"Since Lapis was your replacement for Jenny, I figured you'd just go the adoption route. I wasn't expecting test tube babies." 61394 said.

"What about the fact that magic exists in this crossover world?" BCFW said. He pointed a thumb to the display. "I mean- and I'm just spitballing here-if anything, Lapis could be impregnated naturally. After this, she could be assisted by master magicians, or whatever you think will help, that allows her to keep her physical form all while transferring powers to the child."

"Uh… BCF?" NeoMark asks as BCFW now paces around the room.

"After all, Danny is half ghost; his ectoplasmic half should allow some loophole that would alter the corporeal form- if not allow a more unique fusion than that of Steven. However-"

"Next." Deadpool changed the channel.

"Right, Melissa Chase." NeoMark said.

---

In Danville

Melissa stood in an alley next to the movie theater, tapping her foot a bit impatiently.

"Where is he?" She asks. "It shouldn't have taken him that long…"

"Melissa!" Danny was heard calling out to her.

Turning her head, Melissa's eyes widened.

"Whoa!" She went.

Danny reached her. His hair looked disheveled, his shirt had a tear on the left sleeve, there was some dirt on his jeans, and his face looked to have a small bruise under his right eye.

"Uh… fell down some stairs?" Danny said as he gestured to himself with a nervous smile.

Well… it's partially true. Fell down some stairs from a fire escape after that ghost made of cheese gave me trouble. Then that big ghost llama almost trampled me… Then that ghost made entirely on fire almost fried me… I swear, it's almost like Milo was around again. He thought.

His thoughts were interrupted as Melissa looked like she didn't believe him.

"Danny…?" She said in concern but also suspicion as she approached him.

"Y-Yeah?" He said.

"If you fell down the stairs… why do you have pieces of cheese on your shirt and… is that llama hair?" She points to his other sleeve.

"...you can tell?" Danny questioned her being able to know what kind of hair it was.

"...experience. The llama incident. Now spill…" She demanded he speak up, making it clear she wouldn't stop until he told her the truth.

At this point, Danny felt he had hidden his double life from his new girlfriend for too long. Summer is almost over and he has spent a whole month keeping her in the dark. He knew this had to stop. He had to be honest with her and tell her why he was late to their past dates as he was now.

"Melissa...I...I'm sorry. I...I have been keeping a secret from you for a while. It's pretty big too. But... you deserve to know. Melissa..." The white rings begin to form. "I..." The rings started to move. "...am-"

"Danny." She cuts him off with an unamused look and her arms crossed. "I know you're Danny Phantom... this is NOT a big reveal."

The rings paused, retracting after, leaving a stunned Danny Fenton with his jaw dropped.

"Wait... you knew?! Since when?!" He exclaimed, having not expected this to happen.

"I had my suspicions on our blind date. But stuff since then helped me piece it together. On our third date, you left to go to the bathroom for 20 minutes and returned just AFTER Danny Phantom finished dealing with all those ghost bulls rampaging at the mall and acted as if you didn't notice the bulls even though they were so loud that ignoring them would be like not noticing an earthquake. Last week, a truck looked like it was about to hit us when suddenly the tires froze in a block of ice… and you just said it probably happened from driving in the snow." Melissa said with a rather flat expression.

"... I mean... it could've been the snow." Danny responded weakly, having just said that out loud after he stopped it with his ice powers.

"It's SUMMER!" Melissa stated before taking a breath. "I didn't say anything because... I figured it was a touchy subject and decided to wait until you said something."

Danny, realizing that she deduced it and confronted him over it, was feeling nervous now.

"So...you know? What does this mean? You're not gonna...you know...break up with me?" Danny asked, expressing his fear.

"Unless you suddenly say you wanna call it quits, I don't see us breaking up over this… Just let me know what weird monster or whatever is keeping you busy." Melissa said, surprising Danny.

"R-Really?" Danny asked.

Melissa nodded.

"Yeah, I think we have fun together. So, you can fly?" Melissa asked, sounding curious.

"Uh...yeah..." Danny said, relieved at how this was not what he expected it to be.

Melissa then smiled mischievously.

"Well your secret isn't a big deal to me. Still, if you wanna make it up to me for keeping this secret for so long...I'll forgive you if you take me on a flight right now..." Melissa said.

"Really?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, I really wanna see Danville from the air..." Melissa said, showing she's not mad at all.

With a smile, Danny looked around to make sure no one was looking.

"I'm goin' ghost!"

With that, he morphed into Danny Phantom.

"Goin' ghost? You have a battle cry?" Melissa snarked.

"Hey, people like it! Well… Tucker likes it… Sam's indifferent." Danny muttered the last part.

"Well… mind if I ride first class on Air Phantom?" Melissa offered her hand.

"Sure… sadly, we have no in-flight movie or meal this time. But… this is a trip to a restaurant of your choice." Danny said as he took her hand before lifting her like a bride.

"Oh… almost forgot to pay for my ticket." Melissa said before kissing his cheek, surprising him. "Ready for take off."

Smiling affectionately, Danny carried Melissa into the air, relieved she already found out and accepted his identity.

---

"So, for the future we won't show here, let's say they at least have a girl. Let's name her Brina, short for Sabrina." NeoMark said.

"Oh? Did you name her after Sabrina Spellman? Odd to add a reference to someone from the original here, right?" FP11 asked out loud

"...no. After Sabrina Carpenter." NeoMark corrected her.

"... that singer?" She asks.

"Why name her after Maya from Girl Meet World's actress?" 61394 asks.

"Because that's who voiced her." NeoMark said.

"Yeah, I knew. I was just going along with what you wrote." 61394 says.

"So, thoughts on these two as a couple?" NeoMark asks.

"I think Danny and Melissa make a nice couple." FP11 said.

"I'm a big fan of Milo. So big that I actually considered doing a Many dates story starring Milo." 61394 says. "Back on topic, Melissa is a good civilian girlfriend to Danny; she's brave. has a high tolerance for crazy growing up with Milo, can help in the researching department when Danny needs help with that… They're a good match."

"It's alright." BCFW shrugged.

"Milo's first date would ditch him and warn other girls in a forum like some Many Dates spinoffs feature Tucker's dates having done the same." Luiz4200 said.

"It's alright." PFN said.

"Time for another deleted scene." NeoMark said as he noticed something. "Oh…"

"What's up? Gonna show us a movie?" Deadpool asks.

"It's time for cats." NeoMark answered.

"...when did you hate us?" Deadpool asks.

"What? Oh! No! Not that movie… ick! I mean two kitties that we featured here." NeoMark explained.

Outside New Salem

Ashley, also known as Katnappe, was bored out of her mind right now. The reason was because he was out on a date right now. A blind date with a boy named Heath, who wore a head wrapping of some kind while claiming he had a small accident lately. The same boy who was currently trying to flirt with her and get her to choose him once this was over, with poor results.

"Stick with me and I'll make sure you're the most respected normie around..."Heath said with bravado, unaware that his date was less than impressed right now.

"hat a loser. And I thought Jack was a pain... She thought in irritation.

"Sure do love to talk, doncha?" Ashley muttered.

"I sure do." Heath, not seeing her growing disinterest, proudly admits.

Her mind went back to a certain ghost boy she encountered a while back.

I wonder what that cutie is up to now? Maybe I should plan another visit to that town and...It beats this idiot with the weird head wrapping... She thought mischievously.

Heath, unaware of her thoughts, kept annoying her with his flirting.

"So, anyway Ashley. If you need anything, let me know and I'll make it so..."Heath said.

Ashley rolled her eyes.

Why didn't I get that cute superhero is beyond me… She thought.

Once lunch was paid for, courtesy of Heath, Ashley wanted to leave but her blind date still had plans for them.

"Okay, I was thinking maybe we could catch a movie. There's this neat movie about giant monsters..." Heath suggested.

Ugh… What an idiot… Ashley thought with a massive frown.

She was about to reject him, but soon noticed something up ahead that caught her attention.

"Hmm… what's that?" She asks herself with a smile.

Heath saw what she was looking at.

"A jewelry store? They got some weird new ring for sale." He explained.

Ashley eyed the ring on display, her grin growing.

"I wanna get a closer look…" She said under her breath.

"I guess girls really like those things." Heath shrugged. "Not sure wh-" He then noticed Ashley wasn't near him anymore. "Ashley?"

With her cat-like grace, Ashley made her way into the jewelry store. Seeing the case with the ring inside, her cat-like smile grew.

"I just need a distraction and you're all mine…" She whispered.

Seeing the cameras, she decided she'd start with cutting off the power. She slowly made her way around the building when Heath was there.

"What're you doing here?" He asks.

"Heath?! Uh… uhmm…" She pulled back, trying to figure out a convincing lie.

"What's behind the jewelry store that you need?" Heath asks.

Before Ashley could speak up, the security guard noticed the two and approached.

"What're you kids up to?!" He shouted.

Seeing she was caught, Ashley hissed in anger and ran off.

"FORGET THIS!" She shouted, running past Heath and leaving him and the date.

"Ashley?" Heath called out, seeing her leave.

She wasn't the only one who was having a terrible blind date.

At the same time, Toralei Stripe was having an equally unpleasant time.

She joined the dating service and was disappointed to be set up with Jack Spicer. The same Jack Spicer who was bragging about being an evil genius supervillain, not reading the room.

"Yeah, this is me, stealing from those monks..."Jack Spicer said in a boastful way as he showed her photos of the last time he raided the Xiaolin Temple.

Toralei rolled her eyes as her thoughts went to another she met recently.

Why couldn't they set me up with that Phantom guy? He was cute and way less annoying than this clown… She thought.

"Check this out, Tori." Jack said. "Jackbots! Do the thing!"

"Don't call m-" She wanted to snap, but was cut off.

That's when the Jackbots flew in, circling the two before coming to a sudden stop and performing a pyramid shape, the one at the top shooting fireworks out of its head.

"How's that?!" Jack eagerly asks.

Seeing that, Toralei scratched her chin, mildly impressed.

"Not bad, Spicer. Not bad at all..." Torelai admitted, though mostly to get on his good side as she figured she could take advantage of this in the future.

Jack quickly became excited that someone was actually praising him for his inventions for once.

"Evil genius good?" Jack got in her face.

"Don't push it..." Toralei rolled her eyes.

She then stood by, letting Jack continue to talk about his reputation as an evil genius that was more than likely exaggerated before losing her patience. She stormed off as he was talking, his back turned.

"And that's when I Wuya came crawling back!" Jack boasted as he turned around, seeing his date missing. "Tori?" He asks, seeing her gone. "Huh… must be off to get rid of that weird cat make-up and costume…" He reasoned.

---

"So… might as well address this cat-themed elephant in the room." Deadpool gestured to the elephant in the room that wore comically large cat ears and had make up to resemble cat whiskers.

"...when did that happen?" 61394 asks.

"Don't ask." Deadpool said. "Also… while I have your attention… what would it be like if Danny had kittens with these bad kitties?"

"So… what would his kids be like with girls he didn't date in the service?" NeoMark asks.

"Why do you want Danny paired with feline antagonists?" 61394 asked.

"An interesting challenge. My mind is boggling with ideas." BCFW smiled wickedly, pressing his fingertips together.

"Plus, FP suggested Danny didn't end up with any girl and had a kid with either Sam or Valerie when she and Clockwork had their chit chat." Deadpool points out.

"True, but can't blame us for asking." FP11 said. "Also… shouldn't he have noticed that the monitor was missing by now?"

"Another reason to have finished this by yesteryear." NeoMark grumbled bitterly before exhaling out his nose. "Well… for Katnappe, aka Ashley, I would… give them a son. Let's say…Grady. I pick that one because Ashley and Danny end with Y, and a pattern I decided where A and D had 2 letters between them, with D and G having two letters between them too." NeoMark explained.

"Uh… sure… that works. I guess." FP11 responded.

"And… what of Toralei's potential what-if scenario?" BCFW asked.

"Huh… well… I don't know about marrying her of all people… but… I will say… on the slim chance that the two do have a child…" NeoMark began before shrugging. "I'd say… name him Blake. After William Blake."

"The guy who wrote The Tyger." FP11 said.

"… that's about all I can recall of the guy. Dunno if I read anything else he did." NeoMark shrugs.

"So… Blake would be a half-werecat, a third-human, and a third-ghost… that's a nightmare of a biology." Deadpool said.

"I see..." FP11 said.

"You got the math wrong…" BCFW shook his head. "No matter. Either way, he'd be a monster human hybrid: a phantom werecat."

"So… thoughts here about the bad dates these two were on?" NeoMark asks.

"Yeah. Very in character for both Toralei and Katnappe." FP11 said.

"That Danny might have some bad luck with women in these timelines." 61394 said. "But will probably be luckier with second wife"

"It's nice." BCFW said.

"I feel sorry for those poor monsters." Luiz4200 said.

"Since this was done… Now… next girl?" PFN impatiently asks.

"Right…" NeoMark says.

At the Beach

Danny fell off the surfboard, landing in the water once more.

"Not again..." Danny muttered before he heard a girl giggling.

"Not bad this time, you actually managed to stay on the board for almost a whole minute..." Bridgette said.

Danny pushed himself up, spitting some water out of his face.

"This surfing stuff is harder than it looks. I'm really glad no one else is seeing this..." He said.

"You're actually doing better than I expected. For a beginner, you catch on pretty quick..." Bridgette said, trying to be encouraging.

"One more try..." Danny said as he tried to get his balance on the surfboard, only to fall into the water again. "And… mark..." Danny said bitterly while Bridgette giggled again.

"Don't worry, we'll work on it..." She said, sending him a smile that made his heart skip a beat for a moment.

Enough to put a smile on his face as he continued with her lesson.

---

"So… Abby and Bridgette, if I recall, were tied beneath all our runners up. So…" NeoMark gestured to the monitor. "Guess whose future we're getting a tiny look at?"

---

At the beach

"Like this, Mommy?" A little boy asked.

His mother, Bridgette, smiled at him as he tried to climb onto his surfboard.

"You're doing great, Charlie..." Bridgette said, smiling proudly at her son.

Her child smiled, looking happy as he continued his surfing lesson.

This child was Charles "Charlie" Fenton. He looks just like his father, though he has Bridgette's blonde hair and green eyes.

He was also a fan of surfing thanks to his mother's awards, which is why he is in the middle of a lesson. Though, he was still learning the basics.

"I'm ready for more!" Charlie went.

"Okay, now make sure your feet are right where they need to be..." Bridgette said.

"Okay..."Her son said cheerfully.

As the surf lesson continued, a certain ghost-powered hero flew by and soon landed on the shore, changing after making sure he wasn't seen before calling out to them.

"Sorry I'm late..." He called out.

Bridgette and Charlie turned around and saw him, smiling at his arrival.

"Hi Dad. Look at this..." Charlie said as he tried to show how he was standing on his surfboard.

"Way to go, Charlie..." Danny praised his son as he joined the two on the beach.

"So, who was it this time?" Bridgette asked, referring to her husband's "hobby".

"Nothing big. Technus was just being a pain again..."Danny said.

"That guy really needs a hobby..." Bridgette said.

"Trying to kill me is his hobby..." Danny said.

"Mommy. Daddy. I'm hungry..." Charlie said.

"Okay, son. I saw a Mexican grille on the other side of the beach. Does that sound good?" Danny asked.

"Sounds good to me..." Bridgette said.

"Yay..." Charlie said.

The family of three went to get lunch together, the surfing lesson on pause for now.

---

"So… their son got his name because it starts with a C, the letter between B and D." NeoMark said.

"I doubt they'd have named Chris, after what that crazy show host did…" FP11 said.

"Yup." NeoMark said. "So… thoughts?"

"I like how Danny and Bridgette bonded over surfing..." FP11 said

"I haven't watched Total Drama in a while but Bridget was a good character from what I remember." 61394 says.

"It's alright." BCFW shrugged.

"I guess they're a cute couple." PFN said.

"Some sort of homage to Charles Xavier?" Luiz4200 asked.

"... no. Why would that be an homage to him?" NeoMark asks.

"So… the next new girl after this is Yuki. That was the character you outright wanted no matter what. I'm gonna assume she's not a bigger deal with readers?" Deadpool asks.

"No… no she wasn't. Wasn't ranked that high…" NeoMark grumbled.

"Oh? So… I guess that means we won't see her future with Danny?" Deadpool asks.

"No… I decided I'm gonna use her for the last future scene." NeoMark went.

All eyes were on him.

"Huh?!" All of the authors went.

"You might've noticed something of a small pattern, a girl from the first 10, a girl from the second 10… I want one from the last 10 to have her future shown." NeoMark said. "So, I wish to save Yuki for last."

"...but why go and change her placement? Why her and not Liz or Clawdeen? Why go with Yuki? Why wait so long to use your hall pass date?" 61394 asks.

"... because it's my story and I really wanna finish it on a character I liked and wanted to be in here in the first place." NeoMark shrugs.

"Not even bothering to come up with a proper excuse… nice." Deadpool snickered.

"Well… it's the last character. I guess you wanna finish it with a character you like rather than a random one. In any case… she's not next." FP11 added.

"Right…" NeoMark said. "Next is…"

---

New Salem's mall, called a chopping mall by the locals, filled itself with the usual ghouls and mansters on a weekend. A certain Werewolf girl, Clawdeen, preoccupied herself with another date with Danny.

The ghost boy watched in interest as he took note of all the brands. Suspiciously every name was more of a parody he saw in human malls, but the similarities were more affectionate than assailant. A smile crept, seeing Clawdeen howl in glee at what she found.

The following week had been filled with ghost attacks, school, drama, both human and monster. After all the emotional exhaustion, the couple decided on a regular shopping spree at the maul to forget about everything.

"Oooh! Now this top would look great on me!" Clawdeen said. She turned around, shirt held in front. "What do you think, Danny?"

"I gotta say, you really know how to dress." Danny said. "Maybe I should let you pick my wardrobe."

"Yeah..." Clawdeen draped the shirt onto her arm. "But then Sam would...blow? I mean, she doesn't exactly appreciate how monsters dress."

"I think it has to do more with being unique than style." Danny said.

Clawdeen chuckled. Even during her admiration of fashion, Danny always had a way to make her smile. After raiding the shop, the latter puckered his lips, now dry. The nearby smoothie cart provided remedy as they strolled over.

Danny went there but soon blanched when he saw the menu. In the past, combinations like cheese and bacon milkshakes sated his thirst, but some of the ingredients he still never understood. Blood Herb Fango Surprise, Lava Chok-a-latte, Nightmare's Delight. He had no idea what was in them, even if he could decipher the words.

"Welcome to Zomba Juice, wanna try our latest blend?" The stand was manned by a monster teen with lots of tentacles in uniform and braces.

Danny nearly went green but politely shook his head.

"Oh...um...yeah. Do you have any-"

"Danny." Clawdeen interrupted his thought with a kiss on the cheek. "Why don't you wait over there? I gotcha." She whispered the last two words.

If there was one word to describe their relationship, patience described this moment.

Nodding, Danny went to a nearby bench at the heart of the store.

I'll never complain about Dad's Huevos Rancheros again... Danny thought to himself.

Relaxing against the bench, a shadow loomed over him. Tilting his head behind, a neutral frown formed seeing Clawdeen had not arrived.

"Me-wow! Pardon the cliché but… look what the cat dragged in..." A familiar purr followed, making Danny curse his luck.

"Seriously?" He grumbled as he turned to see a familiar werecat dressed in punk fashion. "Toralei..."

"Aw, you do remember me. Well, I am one memorable monster..." Torelai's tone teased with a sweet tone.

However, Danny rolled his eyes, noticing the bullying undertone.

"Hard to forget someone who made me scrub my tongue so much that it almost bled..." Danny snarked.

Toralei leaned down. A playful smirk on her face closed in as it stopped a few inches away.

"You know, Danny, if you ever want to upgrade your social circle, I could show you a way more fun time than hovering around that smoothie cart. Just say the word." She said, clearly still finding herself attracted to him.

Danny got up. His instincts shivered down his spine, warning of an attempted kiss. He would not put it past her to try again.

"Thanks, but I'm good." He replied. Crossing his arms, he kept his guard up.

There was no telling what Torelai would do for her satisfaction.

This only served to tease the cat girl, who strutted around and closed the distance. A low growl cut off any flirting as Clawdeen arrived with two smoothies in hand.

"Toralei. Any particular reason you're bothering my boo-friend?" Clawdeen flashed her fangs, punching her arm in the air between Danny and Toralei.

"Just catching up with our mutually handsome friend. I was seeing if he wanted to join a more...exciting crowd." Torelai said.

"Danny's not interested, Toralei. He's with me. So why don't you waste your nine lives somewhere else?"

"Touchy, touchy, Clawdeen." Toralei teased, flicking her hair. "I'm just trying to help him see the fun side of our part of life. Not everyone wants to spend their time shopping for boring outfits."

That sparked a fire. Danny gripped Clawdeen by the shoulders. Though human, his touch grounded the ghoul's anger, preventing any claws from flying.

"Boring outfits? On you? Yes." Danny pointed between the girls. "On Clawdeen? Never."

The growling stopped. Muscular tension stopped as Clawdeen now let go of her anger. A small blush appeared as Fenton came to her side, linking arms.

"Get lost, kitty cat. He doesn't wanna talk to you." Clawdeen snarled.

"He can speak for himself." Toralei rudely responds.

"Toralei. I'm not interested in whatever you're selling." He responded. His free arm pointed a thumb behind. "Now, go get stuck in a tree."

Toralei huffed, crossing her arms. She knew this was the end, for now.

"Fine, whatever. I just thought you'd want a taste of something a little less… predictable." With a dismissive wave, she turned and strutted away, her tail flicking behind her as she walked off. "Just you wait... I'll be back!"

Clawdeen leaned onto Danny, a smile breaking across her face.

"Sadly, she'll be back." Clawdeen said.

"Yeah. That's what they all say." Danny chuckled.

A smoothie shook in front of his face. Grabbing the cold cup, Clawdeen added a wink to her smile. They had been together long enough to understand dietary needs.

A sip later, the flavor of chocolate and mint flooded his taste buds, burying them alive. Whatever the monsters ate had more taste than something in the human realm.

---

"So… confession time… Clawdeen is honestly one of my least favorite characters here… not because I don't like her, but because I have no real attachment to Monster High." NeoMark said.

"And yet, you still chose to honor your commitment to have 5 works with new characters from there in here. You deserve a medal for it." Deadpool nodded.

"As for their kid… let's say a little girl. Harriet can work." NeoMark said with a shrug. "Maybe, she looks more like Danny, but her mother's hair color and style, maybe eyes too."

"I noticed a lack of enthusiasm for this one. What's the reason?" 61394 asked.

"Is there a problem or something else?" Luiz4200 asks.

"Yeah… the more I wrote Clawdeen, the more I found I like writing them as friends more. So… let's say they do have a kid but divorce amiably. Normally, I'm all for the happily ever after, but I've had some people say the endings are too black and white, too perfect and happy. So, me personally, I'd be okay with the divorce amiably, like Raven in Raven's Home." NeoMark said.

"Really, that happened? And that will make the most sense?" PFN asked.

"Yeah. No. Don't do that." BCFW walked up to NeoMark. "While you may not have any attachment, a lot of people do. You're a damn good writer. We all know you can do better."

"True but… this is a hypothetical scenario so this story wouldn't exist anyway." NeoMark shrugged. "Well… that's just what I would do. Anyone who does like this couple can ignore what I'd do."

"But they won't. Why do you think bad endings still annoy everyone? Because there's still love for the series." BCFW pointed his finger. "You do this, just think about the people who do care."

"You're right… never mind the amicable divorce… These two would stay married. I'll still keep it to one child though… mostly because I can't think of wolf-pun names." NeoMark said.

"Eh…mix it up a little." BCFW waved his hand. "Just type in wolf and phantom stuff online and that'll fix the name problem."

"So… thoughts? Everyone else?" NeoMark asks.

"It's good, but I'll still complain about wanting to see you do better." BCFW said heartily. His smile gave the idea of more levity to his words.

"While I would be a little sad they would divorce, I am at least happy they would still be friends in the end." FP11 said.

"I've seen some of the original Monster High shows and movies and thought it was fine." 61394 says. "Admittedly, I was curious to see how Danny's relationship would go with a non-human girl who didn't look human."

"It was OK." PFN said.

"I think a relationship like that wouldn't last long enough for them to have any kids." Luiz4200 said.

"Okay… so… deleted scene number 4 time. And this one… yeah… I'm way more excited to show this as I had to cut a lot of what I wanted to show for time reasons." NeoMark perked up as he clasped his hands together in anticipation.

---

"Bloom..." He began.

"Yeah?" She asked.

Quietly, Danny straightened himself, staying off the floor as his feet were high enough so that he was about an inch above Bloom. He placed his hands on her bare shoulders as she placed her hands on his chest. She smiled up at him in an affectionate manner.

Danny suddenly kissed her on the lips. Bloom momentarily kissed him back before her eyes were wide and she stood there. Upon opening her eyes, and realizing what he was doing, Danny pulled back, surprised with himself.

"Oh… oh crud… Sorry...I...I got way too used to kissing today that… the way you said it… I thought you wanted me to kiss you..." He stammered, apologizing profusely as his face turned red.

Stupid! What's wrong with me?! He mentally berated himself.

Bloom blinked. She was surprised but she wasn't angry. If anything, she laughed a little.

"Gutsy of you, but I was gonna kiss you anyway..." She said, laughing it off. "At least now I know why so many girls did that today...you're a better kisser than I thought.."

"You... think so?" Danny asked, blushing hard.

Bloom giggled, finding his reactions to kissing her so suddenly adorable, another reason she couldn't be upset with him.

"Sure do. Here's the proof..." She said as he kissed him, just as suddenly as he kissed her.

Danny was surprised but soon melted into the kiss. After a few moments, they separated.

"That's some solid evidence…" Danny said with a happy sigh.

"And I don't plan to stop showing any…" Bloom said as she kissed his forehead innocently after she hovered above him.

Seeing both of them now off the ground, Danny couldn't help but want to spend more time with her without letting gravity get between them.

"So...wanna fly...see where this takes us?" Danny offered.

Bloom smiled and nodded.

"Sounds good..." She said as they began to fly up around in the clouds together.

The two flew together, going past clouds and letting their hands make trails in them before getting closer.

They held onto each other and kissed again.

It took seconds before their faces parted.

"So now what?" Danny asked

Bloom thought about it and got an idea

"How about a little game, Danny?" The red-haired fairy suggested

"A game?" Danny asked as she nodded

"I have magic and you have ghost powers. Why don't we see who is more impressive and can do cooler stuff? The loser has to buy the winner a dessert..." Bloom said

Danny smirked

"You're on. Prepared to be amazed by the duly deputized protector of Amity Park..." Danny said in a challenging way

Bloom giggled at this.

"And you better be prepared to be wowed by the leader of the Winx Club... " Bloom said, looking forward to this little game.

The two of them started with a simple game of demonstrating their creative uses of basic powers. Bloom demonstrated basic spells that used her fire to make an impressive light show with her magic flames, while Danny created a ball of concentrated energy that he tossed into the air and caught as if it were a basketball. He then threw it into the air, where it exploded and created a wave of green energy that lit up the sky for a moment.

"Impressed?" Danny asks.

"I am… but are you ready to be floored?" Bloom's smile was the biggest she's ever had.

She's never had this much fun in the usage of her powers, not even with her friends or Sky. She wasn't sure what it was about the boy who was 2 years her junior that made her want to impress him. Perhaps it was because he was more like her than she would admit, someone with powers but comes from a more modest living. Perhaps, that was why, compared to all of her past dates, she found herself drawn to him the most.

Bloom then summoned some fire that circled her.

"Watch it there, Azula. We can't risk a forest fire unless you want Smokey to pick a fight with us." Danny stepped back.

"No worries. Watch what I can do." Bloom said with an assured look on her face.

Bloom then had the fire start to form something, a shape above them.

"Let me guess, a heart that says B + D inside it?" Danny jokingly asks.

"Cute but no." Bloom giggled. "Just something to show my appreciation for our date… and show that even if we don't pick each other… I'll always be by your side when things go wrong."

She looked over her shoulder with a smile that made the ghost boy's heart flutter.

Feeling touched by her words and feeling a warmth directed towards her, on par with her fires, Danny sent her a sincere smile.

"Well… if you're gonna perform some big gesture that's secretly an attempt to win me over… I'll do the same." Danny said as he flew back and fired a beam of ice at the ground, eying Bloom as he did so.

"Oh? Is my outfit that distracting?" Bloom mused.

"Wait and see." Danny responded.

It took moments, but Danny and Bloom had just finished their grand gestures.

Bloom had used her fire magic to recreate his chest logo in the night sky, bright enough that it could pass for an oddly shaped sun. She heard him whistle, impressed with her work. She turned to expect him to be in awe, only to be surprised at what he did. Danny used his ice powers to create an impressive ice sculpture of her likeness, which the fairy found impressive.

"I gotta say...no guy has ever made a whole sculpture out of me in less than a minute..." Bloom said as she admired it.

"It helps that you are pretty as heck.." Danny said with a chuckle

Bloom blushed and sent him an amused look

"Careful… if I was more vain and thought pretty wasn't good enough, I might set you on fire." She playfully warns.

"I think you already did…" Danny said quietly as his face turned red.

"Cute." Bloom quipped.

"So who won?" Danny asked

"Let's call it a tie. We can have that dessert another time..." Bloom suggested

"Sounds fair..." Danny said.

"So…" Bloom eyed the ice sculpture. "You got a few details wrong. You forgot the slit on my skirt that makes it so I can raise my legs up. You also got my bangs off."

"Well, it was under a minute." Danny shrugged.

"Oh? Should I pose for you?" Bloom asks, doing a pose that is playful and meant to make him flustered.

"Uh… that's-hehe… that's not necessary." Danny felt lighter, not because of his ability to defy gravity at will.

"Boys." Bloom playfully said with an eye roll.

"I can't blame you there..." Danny muttered.

As Bloom watched Danny's face light up with admiration for her fiery display, she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes lingered on her, even when he tried to play it off. He looked away quickly, his cheeks hinting at a blush that betrayed his bravado.

"Hey, don't think I didn't catch you staring." She teased, a playful smile stretching across her lips.

Danny chuckled nervously, shaking his head in denial.

"N-No way! I mean, I was just... you know, appreciating the magic in the sky!" His words tumbled out, a flustered attempt to deflect her observation.

"Oh, come on, you're terrible at hiding it." Bloom said, stepping closer to him, her laughter ringing like a bell. "It's kind of adorable how obvious you are about it."

Danny fidgeted, trying to maintain a façade of composure.

"Me? Adorable?" He asks before clearing his throat. "I was not staring at you... just... how nice your hair is." He insists, but the way his eyes flickered back to her, drawn like a moth to a flame, proved otherwise.

"I mean it." Bloom insisted, her tone softening as she relished the attention he was unwittingly giving her. "It's nice to know I can make you a little flustered." She tilted her head, watching him squirm just a bit, and it only made her smile grow wider.

His heart raced, partly from the embarrassment but mostly because of the warmth that filled the air between them.

"Okay, maybe I am a little distracted." He finally admitted, his voice dropping slightly as he met her gaze.

"Good! I'm glad." she said, her playful spirit infectious. "It means you're human—well, mostly human, anyway!"

Their banter flowed effortlessly, each moment bright with a flirty energy. Bloom thrived on the attention, every glance and smile from Danny making her feel special. She took a step closer, enjoying the little thrill of attraction that seemed to hang in the air around them.

Danny's gaze softened as he caught her eye once more, a boyish grin breaking through his previous anxiety.

"Alright, you caught me. But can you blame me? You're kind of hard to ignore." He gives in.

Bloom's laughter rang out again, light and carefree.

"That's exactly the kind of compliment I like to hear. Although, I can't blame you for staring." She gestures to her outfit. "Good thing it's summer. Fun in the sun, not so much in the snow..."

"True." Danny replied, his confidence returning as he realized how much he enjoyed their playful banter.

"So… are you sure you're not looking at me? Or my hair?" Bloom pushed some of the hair over her shoulder as if to see where his eyes would fall.

"Ms. Peters, I think you're trying to seduce me." Danny smiled at her with amusement in his voice.

"Is that so?" Bloom giggled at his reference. "Well… what if I am?"

"...well…" Danny inches closer. "Don't stop…"

"If you insist…" Bloom wrapped her arms around his torso, pulling him in for a hug. "I gotta say… I am so glad I came. Though, I wish I came sooner if I knew that this Vlad creep was causing you trouble."

"Yeah… not sure if you were ready to meet… our… son?" Danny's uncertainty in his words caused Bloom to pull back, looking just as uncomfortable with his words as he was. "Yeah… I'm creeped out by the idea too."

"Maybe it's a good thing I didn't show up. Not sure how my parents would react to being grandparents so soon…" Bloom says awkwardly.

Try being Violet's parents… Danny thought, wisely choosing not to say any names before spotting her tribute to him in the sky.

"As flattering as that is… might wanna put it out before the cops come." He points upward.

"Oh… right." Bloom raised her hand and waved it, retracting the fires and holding them in her hand. "So… as lovely as that statue of me is…" She gestured to it.

"It's summer. That should melt by tomorrow afternoon." Danny waved a hand in assurance.

Bloom smiled at that as she lowered her hand, causing the fires to go away.

"Well… if you insist. Just be thankful I came in time to distract you from the crazy your arch-enemy caused you." Bloom quipped, hands at her hips.

"Yeah…" Danny chuckled. "This was-" Suddenly, he recalled a word she said. "Time?" He quickly pointed at her. "What time is it?"

"... no pockets." Bloom gestured to her fairy form. "That said… I passed a clock before seeing you… about 10 minutes before. By now… it should be like 10-15 to 10 pm." She answered.

"Crud… my curfew." Danny grumbled.

"Oh… sorry, I hadn't considered." Bloom pulled back, her flirtatious tone dropped upon realizing she'd distracted him from going home for too long.

"Not your fault." Danny waved his hand at this. "I gotta go..." He hovered off the ground.

"Mind if I at least fly with you until you get close?" Bloom asks.

Not wanting to stop being around her, Danny nodded.

"Sure." He said.

With that, the two took to the skies.

As they flew, Danny couldn't help but enjoy the idea of flying alongside her.

As he dated, he couldn't help but think of how his potential girlfriend would do with him being a superhero. The fact that Bloom knew and had powers of her own was a huge plus in his book. He didn't want to just pick her as his second date right away, as he felt he at least owed the 4 remaining dates a shot.

Still, he enjoyed her company and wanted to savor it as much as he could for now.

The two were now above city hall, still in the clouds as Danny spotted his home.

"This is where we part ways..." He said with a disappointed sigh. "I'd invite you in for a drink of water or if you wanna use the bathroom... but I'm not sure if we're at the "meeting parents" phase. Especially since you're not my girlfriend yet."

"Yet?" Bloom raised an eyebrow.

Danny's face turned red once more.

"... I mean... you could be? Uh... If you want to, that is? I mean... it's not like we-"

Bloom's chuckling caught his attention.

"It's fine." Bloom went. "But if you don't pick me... try not to react like this when you're around me. Especially if we're around your chosen girl."

"Right. It's fine now because we still haven't made a choice yet." Danny rubbed the back of his head.

"So... no staring if I don't get picked." Bloom wagged her finger in a faux-scolding tone.

"Right." Danny said with a sad smile. "Well... guess this is goodbye?"

"For now." Bloom smiled at him.

"Well…" Danny pulled back and waved to her. "Bye."

"Not just yet." Bloom said as she hovered ever closer, her face aiming for his.

Knowing what this meant, Danny closed his eyes and shared a kiss with Bloom. One that made him feel like all time paused just for them.

Once that kiss was done, the two smiled at each other before Danny flew home with a nod.

Bloom flew away, a smile on her face.

I am so glad I came all this way. Of all my dates… I hope he picks me… She thought, feeling a warmth in her own heart.

"So… sorry this one was longer." NeoMark shrugged. "As you might've guessed… this is one of the two deleted scenes I wanted to do the most."

"I like it and I am glad to see Danny and Bloom are still close here." FP11 commented.

"It's nice." 61394 said.

"Very nice." BCFW applauded with a smile.

"I wanna see the part where they meet the parents." Luiz4200 said. "His first time meeting the King and Queen of Domino must've been interesting.

"It was pretty sweet." PFN said.

"So… back to the snippets? Because I am curious to see what is next." FP11 said.

"Right… time for A Spectacular Future." NeoMark said. "And yes… I wanted to do that title."

---

In New York, at a famous restaurant known throughout the state, a certain couple finished their lunch.

"Thanks for the bill, Liz. I wasn't sure at first but… it's kind of a relief to know your dad's friends with the manager." Danny rubbed the back of his head with a smile.

"Anytime Just be sure to try their desserts when you get the chance to." Liz said with a smile.

Danny had not shared his secret with her yet. After choosing her, he made it important to wait until she was ready, still hurting from what happened to her brother.

Once they were out the door, the two walked together, still talking.

"So, how's everything with the fam?" Danny asked.

"Pretty good. My dad is just glad that my brother is finally trying to do something with his lot in life..." Liz said. "What about you? Any changes?" She asked.

"Same old. Same old..." Danny said vaguely, since he can't exactly tell her about his little hobby yet.

Just this morning, I had to stop Technus from stealing every car and computer in town to make a giant robot of destruction...again… The ghost boy thought but kept to himself.

It was then the two noticed Peter Parker learning on a nearby wall, out of breath.

"Petey?" Liz asks, surprised to see him.

Looking up, Peter had relief on his face.

"Danny? Any chance you can give me some help with an assignment? For the Bugle?" He asks.

"What kind of help could Danny provide?" Liz asks.

"Uh...his...uh...folks are scientists...so I'm sure he'd... He'd be a... super help." Peter said with a knowing smile.

Knowing what he meant, Danny nodded before he got up.

"I'll be back, Liz. Can't let Peter here risk losing his only source of income here, right?" Danny said with a forced smile on his face.

"Well... okay. Don't take too long..." Liz said with a smile.

"I won't." Danny said as he helped Peter up, the two heading down the street.

"Never thought those two would be friends so soon..." Liz said, unaware of what the two do together.

"Who is it this time? Rhino? Ock?" Danny asks.

"The Enforcers. The more help, the better..." Peter said as the two ran into an alleyway.

No one saw them come out because they paid no attention. This was good, as moments later, Danny Phantom and Spider-Man left together. Spidey used a web on Danny, letting the ghost boy lead him to action.

Another day for two spectacular friends.

---

NeoMark fidgets in his seat, a big grin on his face.

"Neo? Hey Neo?..." FP11 snapped her fingers in his face. "Would you have been like this if this was the series I chose in the original? Because I'm not sure if I like seeing you zone out as if something overshadowed you..."

"Sorry…" NeoMark cleared his throat. "Anyway… I'm not gonna say if she ever finds out his secret so soon… she might at some point. But I will say… their son has to… HAS TO… be named Stanley Fenton."

"Stanley Fenton?" FP11 raised an eyebrow as she heard this name. "Why that name? It doesn't sound like anyone they know and what about that name thing you did where the names start with a letter between the first letter of both parents' names? Why choose that name in particular?"

"Isn't this Liz Hispanic? Why not Raphael?" Luiz4200 suggested.

"Yeah. What reason is there to name him that when you have a theme for the others?" PFN asks.

"Stan Lee." NeoMark answered them.

"That's perfect." 61394 says. "Best name for a Fenton kid you came up with."

"Hmmm…of course." BCFW muttered dryly.

"Makes sense to me." Deadpool nodded as he got between Neo and FP.

"But how would they even know who Stan Lee is? They don't break the fourth wall like Deadpool, so casually like that." She points out.

"Yeah… I don't really 100% care where they come up with naming him that… I just want that." NeoMark said.

"Of course…" FP11 rolled her eyes at his explanation. "Well… I just hope Danny and Liz work out better than how her last relationship ended."

"They could just like the name." 61394 says.

BCFW shrugged. His disinterest flew out his sleeves whilst he stared at the display.

"True, I didn't like how Liz "broke" with Peter to save face." Luiz4200 said.

"Yeah, I want Liz to have a better relationship with Danny than what happened with Peter.." PFN said.

"And now… comes FP11's pick for this story." NeoMark said.

In Malibu, two people were walking alongside each other on the beach.

"So, Danny?" Skipper spoke up. "Wanna swim?"

"Really? We're not just having a brisk walk to enjoy the scenery?" Danny asks with a smile.

"Nah. I wanna swim for a while. But first I wanna test out the level of salt in the water for this new app that I am developing." She said.

"Out here? In public?" Danny asks.

"It's not like it'll attract something like that giant crab thing again." Skipper jokes.

"Why test out the level of salt? It's the ocean… finding salt is like finding sand at a beach." Danny pointed out

"True, but I wanna see if there are different levels." Skipper said.

Before Danny could say anything, Skipper pulled out her phone and started her stunt.

Out of her backpack came what looked to be a small drone.

"I seriously hope this won't end like how last week, where you tried to do laundry and say it's because of cell phone interference and not, you know, the fact that you tried to do laundry with a leaf blower powered by a car battery while hooked to your family computer." Danny said, recalling how that turned out.

Skipper ignored that as the drone hovered over the water.

"Now… to test the levels of salt right… about…" She pushes a button on her new app. "Now."

The drone descending before it used an attachment to collect the sea water in order to scoop some of the water. That's when a wave submerged the drone, causing it to short circuit and explode, which led its parts to drift out into the sea water.

Skipper stared incredulously at this before the sound of a whistle caught their attention.

"Did I just catch you kids littering?!" A lifeguard shouted as he stormed towards them.

Sharing a brief look at each other, Danny and Skipper made a break for it.

Once they managed to run off the beach and into town, that's when they stopped.

"Okay... I probably shouldn't have taken $500 out of my savings to get a new drone before I took the idea of it being waterproof into consideration." Skipper said after panting.

"And, y'know... NOT do that in a public area." Danny muttered.

"It's cool…" Skipper waved a hand to show she wasn't remotely bothered by this setback. "Anyway… you still got time? Because I might need help getting my equipment ready."

"Party at a friend's?" Danny asks, knowing she had a side job as a DJ.

"Yup. I got one heck of a playlist ready." Skipper said, as she gestured to her phone.

Danny shook his head at this before he sent her an amused look.

"Well… as long as I can get a bite there." He said.

"Of course." Skipper kissed the side of his head. "Plenty to eat… after you help out." She added with a smile.

---

"So... let's give them a son. I will name him Elliot, after Elliot Handler, husband of Ruth Handler, who created Barbie, and both the co-founders of Mattel." NeoMark said.

"And maybe a daughter named Ruth?" Deadpool asks.

"Probably? Anyway... thoughts?" NeoMark asks.

"I liked it and I am glad to see Danny and Skipper getting along like that" FP11 admitted.

"It was okay." PFN said.

"Tucker would likely try to work with Skipper." Luiz4200 said. "Also, the mention of Malibu reminded me of a certain trio of spies."

"I know a bit about Barbie through cultural osmosis and Toy Story. Danny and Skipper make a sweet couple." 61394 answers.

"Eh." BCFW shrugged neutrally, scratching his stubble with one hand with a phone in the other.

"So… it's time for the final deleted scene. You may have noticed one character from the original who wasn't mentioned as a date for Tucker. Namely… Meg Griffin." NeoMark points out.

"I noticed that. So… is she not a part of the service this time?" FP11 asks.

"Nope. But… I figure I could make one more constant in this version of the Many Dates franchise. And… since we're at the end… I figure it's time to finally show… only ONE live-action character." The room was filled with gasps. "However! It's going to be someone who still fits what kind of version this story is…"

"I thought you said no live-action characters." 61394 says. "How many hall passes did you give yourself?"

"I said no live-action characters for dates. This character is not a date." NeoMark explained. "This character would NOT have been connected in any way with any of the dates… but this character also fits with how different this world is. In fact, it probably wouldn't even be the actual live-action version of the character." NeoMark said.

"What do you mean?" FP11 asks.

"Ten bucks says it's someone who has been adapted into animation before. Therefore a loophole." BCFW scratched his chin.

"This character has appeared in animated and printed media as well… and he's associated so deeply with video games that, in all honesty, he fits this version of Many Dates better." NeoMark explained.

"Who is it?" FP11 looked puzzled as to who he's talking about.

"I've used this character before, actually… but since this is the LAST deleted scene… I need something big. Something that would… make a LOT of people happy." NeoMark said.

"Someone you used before? Who, Neo?" PFN asks.

"Let's see… you made the Doctor an in-universe character here, you won't put the Power Rangers here despite being a big fan since Day of the Dumpster, and there's no way you'd ever use the Michael Bay Transformers… plus Bumblebee came too recently. Who in the world could you put in here?" Deadpool asks, rubbing his hands with anticipation.

"I get the feeling you know who it is, Deadpool. So don't pretend and tell me who it is?" 61394 asks.

"Only that it's probably the only live-action character he'd wanna ever acknowledge…" Deadpool cheekily said.

"Who?" Luiz4200 asks.

"I'm just glad we're almost done. We're so glad you guys, the Warners, and Deadpool are here to see it." NeoMark said.

All the authors raised their fingers to count everyone in the room.

"Uh… Neo?" FP11 questioned.

"Yes?" He asks.

"I think your math is off, buddy. You said "we're" after you mentioned Deadpool." 61394 says concerned. "Are you seeing double? When was the last time you went to bed?"

"Yeah…I'm still in the middle of writing my spin-offs." BCFW responded.

"Also, one of you left here because of other responsibilities." Yakko points out.

"Indeed, Batguy01 sent me a message." NeoMark said. "He wanted me to let readers who likely haven't found out know he is dropping Danny and Wendy as he has other commitments to another mult-series project, Infinity Crisis, and stories he wants to work on more."

"Darn… was hoping since the Doctor exists there, I can convince him to let me score with Leela." Deadpool said.

"...the Futurama character or the Fourth Doctor's companion?" NeoMark asks.

"The latter." Deadpool explained. "Jungle babes are awesome… of course, you'd only go for a redhead, probably."

"Shut up, Wade…" NeoMark rolled his eyes before looking at the message sent and nodding. "While I'm sad to see that story is now discontinued, though he's open to someone adopting it, I wish him the best of luck in his future projects."

"Same.." FP11 said.

"Also… he adds this." NeoMark looked at his phone. "PS… Deadpool… just know that I take great pride and joy that I won our bet. It might not have been live-action, but I did take a shot in the dark and say the last new girl is a mermaid. I won $10,000. And because I'm leaving this franchise… this means I got the last laugh and there's nothing you can do about it. Tofa." NeoMark finished reading. "And it follows up with him repeating Haha a few times."

"(redacted)!" Deadpool angrily shouts.

"...heh…" NeoMark went.

"Okay… as funny as seeing Deadpool lose a big chunk of money is, and sad as it is that that story is being discontinued… what were you talking about when you implied someone else was here?" 61394 asks.

"...wait… really?" NeoMark asks.

"Yeah… you counted everyone out except you, but you spoke like there was someone else. Who is that?" Luiz4200 asks.

"Which one of us are you talking about? I want to know." PFN wondered if he had lost his mind.

"Wait…" NeoMark said. "...you're all serious?"

"Neo? What's wrong? Why are you acting funny?" FP11 asks.

"You're acting like there's someone else here." 61394 says.

"...you mean to tell me you guys never noticed him?" NeoMark asks.

"Who are you talking about?" PFN asks.

"He means me…" A new voice said.

Everyone turned their heads, seeing someone sit on the table near them. A guy with black hair and brown eyes behind green, square glasses, wearing a white hoodie with TWT on the right chest, blue pants and red shoes. He gave them a friendly wave.

"...who are you? How the heck did you get into wherever this is?" 61394 demands an answer from the new face he's never seen before.

"TheWhiteTitan." TheWhiteTitan replied as he hopped off his seat.

"He helps me out with a lot of my stories, mostly the action stuff. He's been a big help since the very first chapter." NeoMark explained.

"Happy to help." TheWhiteTitan said as he took a bowl of the Undine Stew with Kelpie meat before eating. "Hm…That Laios guy is a weirdo, but he's got great taste in food."

"So… you've been here… since day one? And we didn't notice until now?" FP11 asks.

"Yup." TheWhiteTitan replied with a nod. This time, he was eating Bloody Horn Bull steak.

"Then why didn't you say anything? You could've introduced yourself anytime." BCFW said neutrally.

"...you never asked." The White Titan shrugged before glancing at Deadpool's presence. "Sup, Deadpool."

"Sup, Titan." Deadpool gave a thumb's up.

"...does that mean you were watching us when stuff happened, like Deadpool doing SNK moves on us and the Warners' gas gag?" 61394 asks.

"Yeah, that was fun." TheWhiteTitan said with a nod.

"...are you even a part of the actual Many Dates?" Yakko asks.

"Yeah, I don't recall you." Dot said.

"Well, in the original, I wanted to do the aftermath with Emma from Stoked, but once I got some decent chapters for it, my old laptop crashed, and I lost a lot of stories, including that one, so it kinda bummed me out." TheWhiteTitan explained while munching on some Honey Wasabi Gummi.

"...ummm… I'm sorry that happened." FP11 awkwardly said.

"You could still do Danny and Emma, that one's still available." 61394 says.

"Sorry about that, everyone." TheWhiteTitan said before gesturing to NeoMark, while eating on some Wingtip Gyoza. "So… the last minute surprise character? Just know this character has been around a lot, you've just never seen him, since he's so awesome that he can only be seen when he wants to be seen."

"Right… So… sorry to people who keep asking for Disney sitcoms or Power Rangers or Doctor Who… but no one from those are going to show up." NeoMark said. "And so… to that one person who has noticed how video game friendly this has been and has been thinking about this character at least having a cameo ever since we began… that's right, I can read your mind… enjoy…"

During the 7th blind date

Taking Sakura to the mall, knowing of a ramen restaurant there, Danny showed her the area.

"This is where my friends and I hang out a lot." Danny said.

"Hmm… interesting location. Is what I hear true? A dragon attacked here?" Sakura asks.

"Sure was." He tells the young Street Fighter.

"Hmm..." Sakura noticed one stand. "Isn't that for the dating service we're on?" She asks.

"It is." Danny nods before noticing an odd-looking family knocking on the currently closed stand. "What's going on there?"

They saw a very fat guy with brown hair, black eyes, and balls on his chin, wearing a white button shirt that barely fit, green pants, brown shoes, and glasses, pounding on the closed down.

"Hey! Open up! I went through traffic all the way from Rhode Island to get here!" He complains loudly.

"Peter…" His wife, Lois, bluntly spoke up. "Can you just knock it down? So we can get our money back?!"

The stand suddenly opened and there was one employee.

"I'm sorry, sir… but we're closed for renovations today." The man said.

A man who wore a familiar red suit over overalls and a hat worn by construction workers.

"Look, forget that there, Spider-Man." Peter angrily said, mistaking Deadpool for the more popular hero.

"And… there goes that ol' chestnut…" The worker, the Deadpool of this story, angrily grumbled.

"My daughter spent money on this stupid service and she got kicked off in 2 days." Peter complained, ignoring Deadpool.

"Sir, I apologize for what happened… but your daughter did rather… unpleasant things that attracted the police. Can't have them come after us like we're what remains of Enron…" Deadpool responds.

"Look, I don't care for that part. Meg's ugly and no boy would want her." Peter responded rudely in his daughter's presence.

"That's… awful." Danny disdainfully comments on how this man described his own daughter.

"I came a long way. I ran over some cats, went through a school zone and a school, and I might've caused some guy's leg to break to pieces. I want the money I gave her so she'd leave us alone for a whole month back!" Peter shouted.

"Dad!" Meg whined.

"Shaddup, Meg…" Peter responded without looking at her.

"Yeah, sorry there, discount Homer Simpson… but we can't just give out refunds like Oprah. Maybe if your kid wasn't so desperate to get a boyfriend to the point of stalking, she'd not get kicked out by us, hmm?" Deadpool smirks.

"Look, gimme back the money so we can go and I can fart on her as soon as we're home!" Peter snarled.

"That's it. You're not getting anything from us. We can't support that kind of behavior... even though it's more tame compared to what you're usually capable of." Deadpool says.

"Oh, come on! That's just a little thing! You're just being a jerk because I called you Spider-Man!" Peter scoffed.

"Sir, I've been called worse by my besties." Deadpool retorted.

Danny and Sakura, who cannot see Deadpool, both shared the same look of bewilderment.

"Well, if you're not gonna give me the money, I'll just have to take it!" Peter declared.

"Security!" Deadpool shouted.

"Dad! Let's just go!" Meg whispered to her father.

"How's this?" Deadpool pulled something out. "You can have this refurbished reconstruction of a beloved game console..."

He presented said game console, one that Meg took a good look at and smiled a bit.

"A Sega Saturn? Awesome! Retro gaming!" She went.

But as soon as she was about to take it, Peter picked up the console.

"We don't got room for it in the car." He responded with a lack of emotion before dropping it and walking away.

The console broke into several pieces on the floor.

Sakura, seeing this, gasped in horror.

"Oh no..." She said.

"Sakura?" Danny asks. "What's-"

She suddenly pushed Danny away from this.

"That ramen place is this way, yes?" She urgently said, changing the subject.

"Well, yes... but why are we-"

"Because we're not getting involved with THAT mess, Danny." She whispered into his ear, leading him away from the scene.

As they walked away, they heard Peter arguing with the stand's user before security came to force him and his family out.

"What's with you?!" Meg shouted. "That thing was worth more than the fee I paid! And it was something I wanted!"

"That last part is another reason I chose to destroy it." Peter responded without guilt. "It's about as timeless as Robinson's May."

As the Griffins were escorted out, Danny and Sakura were about to reach the restaurant when he spoke up.

"Why exactly were you so terrified when that guy broke that Sega Saturn?" He asks.

Sakura got to his ear to whisper.

"Ryu-san has mentioned in an interview that there are few warriors no one is ever to challenge. One a man named Akuma... the other... well..." Sakura looked at the broken pieces of the Saturn getting picked up by a janitor. "...that man is about to meet him."

All the while, Deadpool closed the stand again and snickered.

Outside, in the parking lot, the Griffins were walking to their car.

"We have so many payments to people you've hurt on the way here..." Lois said.

"I'm sure it'll be fine… I got plenty of lawsuits and caused a lot of broken bodies and families on the way here, and FOX will bail us out like always…" Peter insisted.

"Peter, all this for a refund for the fee? It was not a big deal." Brian stated.

"It is when it was my money." Peter insisted.

"You ruined a perfectly good game console!" Meg angrily shouted.

"I'm an 80's fan… don't care for anything in the 90's that ain't us…" Peter retorted.

He was too busy talking to his daughter and talking down to her to notice a man was in their path. A man who, as Peter walked into him, remained still as Peter fell to his rear upon impact.

"Dad!" Chris went.

"Peter, are you alright?" Brian asks as he helps him up.

"I wouldn't worry, his fat posterior cushioned the fall." Stewie said in his mother's arms.

"Hey, watch it!" Peter got on his feet and angrily responded to the man who walked into him.

A man of Japanese descent who wore a Gi, and had a hairstyle that combined a pompadour and a beehive, two of the coolest hairstyles in the 80s.

Meg recognized this man from an internet search, her eyes widened in horror.

"S-S-Segata Sanshiro?!" She shuddered in fear.

"...who?" Peter questioned impatiently.

Segata raised his arms.

"Touya!" He chokeholds Peter. "Hah!" He flips Lois, then flips Brian.

Somehow, all of the Griffins were in a pile, all of them in pain. Peter was at the very bottom, his wife on top, followed by Brian, and then his kids, Stewie on top as he was in a fetal position of fear despite being unharmed.

"Who is this guy?!" Peter, with a bruised face and a missing tooth, questioned.

"Segata Sanshiro…" Meg managed to hiss out in pain.

Segata held out a Sega Saturn in his hand.

"Sega Saturn Shiro!" He shouted before leaving the console by them and began to walk away.

Meg attempted to reach for the new console, hoping it would make Segata leave them alone. However, Peter pushed his family off, grabbing the console and aiming at Segata's back.

"I told you there, Jackie Chan! We don't want this garbage!" He threw it.

The console broke upon impact with Segata, the latter pausing not from pain, but from something else.

The new Saturn was broken into pieces, scattered around his feet.

Segata looked over his shoulder. The look in his eyes went from rage to something else. Something that saw Peter not as one to steer in the right direction, but to remove from the land of the living.

He stormed towards Peter, feet almost making quakes, as Peter seemed unafraid.

"Boy, I hadn't seen anyone this mad since I spoiled the ending of that Watchman movie." He went.

A scene of Peter at the movie theater went.

"Ah…" Cutaway Peter went. "Time fo- GAAAHHHH!" He went as he and the cutaway were pushed away by Segata, much to the real Peter's shock.

"W-W-W-WHAT?!" Peter pulled back.

"Tsumari, anata wa shi o eranda nodesu…" Segata growled.

"N-Now hold on, 'ere! All this for a stupid game console?!" Peter went.

Segata's rage intensified and, before Peter knew it, the champion of the Saturn flew his fist into Peter's large stomach.

An impact that created a massive shockwave that sent Peter flying upwards.

Peter Griffin screamed his head off as he fell, being met with a flurry of fists by Segata.

His family, sans his daughter, watched in horror as Peter was being struck by endless blows that bruised and broke various parts of his body.

After ten seconds, Peter was plopped on the ground.

"Oh… oh my god… it's over…" He said in relief before Segata lifted him up by the collar. "No…" Peter began to panic. "No, Segata Sanshiro! Please!"

Segata began to twist his body.

"Sega Saturn…" He threw Peter in the direction of the hills outside Amity Park. "SHIRO!"

Peter was thrown with such force that he was miles into the air, going in an arc towards a spot on the hill where no one was around. And he was coming in at inhuman speeds, his broken body about to impact.

"AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHH!" Peter cried out, arms flailing wildly before he hit the hill.

He exploded into a fireball upon impact. Twice.

His family, sans his joyous daughter, stared slack jawed at this before Segata Sanshiro walked past them.

"Sega Saturn…" He said, avenging his beloved console.

As the family stared at where Peter went, they didn't see a certain of the Mad Gear gang walk past them.

"I-I'm sure this is just a gag, right?" Lois asks, nervously smiling as no one made eye contact with her. "Right?" Her smile dropped. "RIGHT?!"

It dawned on her, like the rest, this was not a gag. Peter Griffin, who did many terrible things on his way for a simple refund and had no problem being rude and verbally abusive to his daughter, was no longer present.

Thanks to Segata Sanshiro.

---

Suddenly, a thunderous applause was heard, cheers of joy and even people shouting.

"SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGATA SANSHIRO! SEGA SAT-A-URN SHIRO!" They were heard over and over.

"... did… did Neo just make most of the internet happy? Because why didn't you use this scene earlier?" 61394 asks.

"... are they happy about the guy or that he made Peter Griffin blow up? Because I never heard about the guy…" Luiz4200 said as he was wondering who that guy was while understanding Peter had it coming.

"I don't know, but I think it was just to make the readers happy. Hopefully." BCFW watched as the man basked in the praise.

... Uh… I guess that was pretty cool? I'm more of an American Dad guy type myself." PFN said.

"Huh… who is that?" FP11 asks.

"The myth." Deadpool went.

"The legend." TheWhiteTitan added.

"Segata Sanshiro." NeoMark said as the majority of the internet once again applauded.

"... this is like, you took the anger of not using Katie and saying you'd use Necalli… and then multiply by -10. So… happy enough to cancel out the anger… of the internet with a Peter Griffin smack down." 61394 said. "All because of… who is that?"

"Segata Sanshiro…" NeoMark repeats. "I assume, judging by the lack of applause, you're all thinking… who in his deteriorating sanity is this?"

"... kinda spot on but what exactly is going on, Neo?" FP11 said.

"Segata Sanshiro, played by the original Kamen Rider actor, Hiroshi Fujioka, was a fictional spokesperson for Sega to be the mascot of the Saturn in Japan." NeoMark said.

"He appeared in commercials, promoting the thing to make sure it gets sold. He promotes it in the best way possible…" Deadpool rubbed his hands together. "By finding anyone who doesn't want to play it… and BEAT THE (we at You + Me = Love do not condone what Deadpool is saying) OUT OF THEM!"

"Men, women, and children… nobody is safe from Segata's wrath. The first commercial of this legendary hero was him appearing before teenage boys out to play baseball before and then he flipped them to the ground. Then he leaves a Saturn for them to play instead. The second was him appearing at a nightclub, leaving all of the men and women on the ground, beaten. All because they weren't playing Saturn." TheWhiteTitan said.

"Nice quoting of Death Battle." 61394 says. "Yes, I know who he is, I was just going with the bit."

"Also… he's appeared in comics and various games, from Project X Zone and his own Saturn game that's basically Wario Ware." NeoMark said.

"Interesting. I should double check Project X Zone again." BCFW pondered out loud.

"But even if he didn't appear in animated media, I'd still want him in here." NeoMark said.

"Why? What possible reason would a guy who beats people up for not playing a game console be someone you want?" 61394 asks.

"Well… I've compared the new girls to girls who didn't make it. I compared Sakura to Kara, Lapis to Jenny, Yuki to Phantasma… so, I figure, to keep up with the comparisons… Segata Sanshiro would be our replacement for the Warners. That character who just shows up at random times and does something absurdly amazing." NeoMark said.

"WHAT?!" The Warners exclaimed.

"You're comparing this guy to us?" Yakko looked insulted.

"That tears it!" Wakko went.

"We'll show you!" Dot went as they made some distance between them and the rest.

"Hey, Segata!" The trio called out.

"Sonic is super glitchy!" Yakko went.

"The Saturn?! More like So Dumb!" Wakko went.

"Sega couldn't hack it in the console making biz and can only survive making lame games!" Dot went.

A pause.

"Ha!" Yakko went. "See? So much f-"

Music began playing, music three of those in the room found familiar. The Warners and the other authors looked lost.

"Where is that coming from?" Wakko went.

"Dunno." Dot said. "May-"

"TOUYA!" Segata broke out of the wall and attacked.

Judo flips Dot, does the same to Wakko, then choke holds Yakko. The Warner siblings were now in a pile, having been defeated with ease by the man they've angered.

"Yeah… don't provoke him." NeoMark went as the other authors stared in shock.

"What the (bleep)?! Seriously! That's taking things too far. The Warner's didn't deserve that kind of punishment!" BCFW snapped.

"Oh my…" FP11 said in shock.

"How… how is this possible?! What in the name of the original Kamen Rider?! Who is this guy?!" PFN hid behind the pillow fort 61394 remade.

"Yeah! Are we sure he can do this with FPs rules?!" 61394 asks. "This is more brutal than how they ended the reboot."

"And why did you bring him here?! I know Sakura is a video game character but still!" Luiz4200 said.

"So… Segata is a master martial artist who travels the land with a giant Saturn on his back that he uses to test his gaming and fighting prowess. And he's been on some crazy adventures…" NeoMark went.

"He kicked a baseball for a homerun, duplicated and grew himself somehow, did Santa's job to deliver SEGA Saturn consoles all over the country in one night, broke sixteen stone tiles with his head, beat an Olympic ice skater in a race while barefoot, and he threw a man with his Judo Throw and made him explode on impact… twice." TheWhiteTitan said.

"He's Chuck Norris fully realized." Deadpool said. "As in… Chuck Norris if he wasn't a homophobe."

"And like I said above, somewhere in the multiverse, they're fighting for eternity." 61394 says.

"And he's somehow dated Sakura Shinguchi from Sakura Wars… a Sega game. Yeah, he's dated a video game character… like I want with Mai." Deadpool began to cry after that.

"Uh… sorry?" FP11 said in an uneasy way as she and the others felt awkward now.

Deadpool sniffed hard.

"Lucky living legend…" Deadpool went. "So… wanna tell them what happened to this living legend when the Saturn, which was more popular in Japan than in the west, left the market?"

"To answer your question… to usher in the Dreamcast, Segata saved the Sega HQ from a missile and redirected it into space. Where he can talk and breathe… Until the missile blew up and he seemingly died." NeoMark said.

"...What?" Luiz4200 asks.

"If he's dead, how can he be standing here? Punching that giant controller?" 61394 asks.

"I thought you knew who he was?" Deadpool asks.

"I don't know every detail of lore for every character. I'm not a supercomputer." 61394 deadpans.

"Oh, he's not dead. For while the Japanese announcer says he will live on in our hearts… and if you can clear the tears from your eyes, you will see a shooting star in the distance." Deadpool said before approaching Segata and taking a knee.

"Or… Segata re-entering Earth's atmosphere. For he's appeared in many games after those commercials. We even meet his son in 2020, Sega Shiro, played by the actor's real son." NeoMark said.

"I guess he and Sakura got married?" PFN asks.

"And he's appeared in the Archie Sonic comics… where he lost a match fair and square to the overpowered Archie version of Sonic. And keep in mind those comics are set on Earth like thousands of years in the future… and it was after the Archie versions of Sonic and MegaMan rewrote their multiverse. That can mean only one thing…" NeoMark looked absolutely crazy at this point. "Segata is not only alive… he's immortal."

"Uh… cool? That is really cool." PFN said.

"If you think that's cool… look at your contracts." NeoMark said.

Curious, all of them looked at their contracts and noticed something they never saw before.

"...if you agree to collaborate with NeoMark on any Many Dates projects or other crossovers, Segata Sanshiro exists there?" 61394 read out loud, looking at a contract he doesn't remember signing. "Dude! No way can I include this violent psycho and keep a K+ ratings on my stories."

"You'd be surprised what you can slip into a contract." Deadpool snickered.

"Wait. Since this franchise is a mass collaboration, ANY new author who joins technically includes him." 61394 says while handing White Titan an application. "Being serious, any authors interested would be welcomed."

"You can just not mention the Saturn. As for the contracts? Sorry… non-negotiable." NeoMark said.

"Oh yeah?" 61394 grabbed the Continuity Stone. "Sorry but… there ain't no strings on me." He snapped his fingers, but the paper was unaffected. "Why contract no bye bye?" 61394 asks, seeing the contract was still there. "Seriously, when did I sign you? Okay, that was a bust. Let's try getting rid of him directly."

He snapped his fingers at Segata, intending to make him disappear. Nothing happened.

"He's still here… I guess he's that invincible." Luiz4200 said.

"Huh?!" 61394 tried again, only for nothing to happen. "H-How?! How is he still here?!"

"Lemme try." BCFW took the Infinity Gauntlet. He waved the gauntlet, summoning a display screen. A quick scroll and he seemed to find what he was looking for, picking the info off and crushing it in his hands. To his confusion, nothing changed. "Huh. I guess altering history didn't work. Maybe I should get Chuck Norris…"

"Won't work either…" Deadpool said.

"I got this." PFN threw a Pokéball. "I'll stop him! Zekrom! I choose you!"

Zekrom came out of the Pokéball, only to be terrified at the sight of Segata and flew away.

"...did that thing just fly away?" Yakko, now in a body cast, questioned.

"Zekrom!" PFN cried out into the distance.

"I told you… he's immortal and pretty much unkillable." NeoMark said. "This is Segata Sanshiro… you think your lack of knowledge, rules, and fears are going to keep Segata Sanshiro from existing in your story?! HA!" NeoMark swung his arm outward. "NOTHING can stop Segata Sanshiro! He exists in all stories because of what was in the contract! In fact, from now on, whenever I do ANY crossover stories, regardless of who it is, I want you ALL to know that Segata Sanshiro exists in that world doing amazing things! Because, who in their right mind is going to stop him?! NOT ME!"

"...cool…" Everyone went with deadpanned expressions.

"He can do anything, even become a background character so unnoticeable, you wouldn't notice him until he's right in front of you." TheWhiteTitan explained.

"So long as there is Sega, there will be Segata." NeoMark said.

"Well… that's weird. I altered history so that Sega was replaced when I used the gauntlet." BCFW shrugged at the continuity error.

"Yeah, they're shielded from stuff like that." NeoMark said. "Sega ain't goin' anywhere… and Segata will always live on so long as they do."

"And more new games, not just Sonic, on the way!" Deadpool went.

"...so… can we get back to the story and not face Segata?" Luiz4200 asks.

"Yes, I wanna see what happens next." FP11 said

"Okay." NeoMark said before going to Segata. "Arigato, Segata Sanshiro."

Segata nodded as he got up, making his leave.

The Warners, still in their body casts, sighed in relief.

"Was this all necessary? And seriously, is it legal with the rules FP established?" 61394 asks.

"It was. It was all necessary." TheWhiteTitan said with a nod.

"Plus, this would be more of this alternate tiemline's take. Just don't mention… or more accurately, don't insult the Saturn, and you'll be fine. And you'll not have to worry about him." Deadpool said.

"Fine, he exists in all stories." 61394 asks before looking at his fellow author. "Jokes aside, no issue with Segata, but can we not make more binding rules on characters? Like no Macho Man, no Kool-Aid Man, and PLEASE no one like Mr. Birchum."

"Oh my god, you watched THAT?" Deadpool asks.

"I don't believe in self torture." 61394 answers.

"Just remember… to heed Segata's parting words." NeoMark said.

"Or else…" NeoMark, TheWhiteTitan and Deadpool went with looks on their faces that made it clear crossing Segata was not something to do.

All the other authors looked frozen in fear as they saw the legendary karate master leave with the Saturn on his back.

"SEGA SATURN SHIRO!" Segata called out.

---

In one alternate timeline, Danny awkwardly walked down the mall.

Holding his hand was a girl, one he met on the service but had a lousy time with. However, he decided he wanted to give her a chance.

"So… Danny?" Lunar asks.

"Yeah?" He responded.

"So… uh…" Lunar avoided eye contact, wondering just what she was supposed to say here . "I… I guess we can get some ramen? Just know I can't eat anything with fish, for obvious reasons."

"Sure." Danny responded to her suggestion.

With a smile, Lunar seemed to relax. However, she quickly did a small laugh.

"Well… you're a lucky boy, y'know? To be picked by me, the top idol of Japan!" She said loudly, getting attention from many passersby. "Yes Danny. It's quite fortunate y-" She saw he was gone, causing her smile to drop. "Where'd he go?"

Danny was already several feet away, leaning on a wall with a tired look on his face.

Realizing she's slipped, Lunar laughed nervously as she approached him.

"You gotta not do that." Danny flatly stated.

"We- I mean… I… can't really help it." She admits, trying to put on a cute expression. "Please forgive m-"

"Lunar." Danny cut her off. "You know I've seen the real you… and, unlike Nagasumi, I'm not afraid to call you out since we both know I'm way tougher than your dad."

"Yeah…" Lunar said in a defeated sigh. "I can't help it… the spotlight is my first love."

"Well… let's go with your idea of getting ramen." Danny said. "Just promise me… no drawing attention to yourself. You might be a big shot back home… but around here, you're a tourist. Also, I don't like to draw attention."

"Right…" Lunar said. From what Mrs. Seto briefed her.

Costumed crime fighters didn't go by false monikers and wear brightly colored costumes because they wanted people to know who they were. Ren also told her not to do anything to expose Danny's alter ego or jeopardize the new truce between him and the Seto clan.

"So… try not to make me regret deciding to give you a shot because of your helping me and Starfire…" Danny said.

"You have my word." Lunar promised, sincerely wanting to spend time with Danny and not be on Ren Seto's bad side.

"Well…" Danny offered his arm. "Shall we?"

Lunar nodded, keeping quiet for now as their arms linked and continued.

---

"Personally… if I were you, I'd probably would have done a repeat of Danny and Katie have them get together as adults." 61394 says.

"I guess… but I didn't want to repeat all the same beats, and I wanted them to try as teenagers." NeoMark said. "So… recall what I said about how I was gonna have him and Clawdeen divorce before BCFW convinced me not to?"

"I definitely remember." BCFW's poker face stared at NeoMark.

"Well… considering a lot of people wanted that couple to happen, I decided not to do that. That said… Lunar is… not even in the top 20 out of the 30. Not even in the first poll. She got one vote on both. So… I'm guessing most people don't really care what happens to these two." NeoMark said.

"So... what happens to them? Do they end up together or not?" FP11 asks.

"I hope they end up together." Luiz4200 said.

"I mean, this part of the story is about Danny ending up with whoever the readers voted for." TheWhiteTitan went as a bell rang around his neck, surprising everyone.

"Forgot you were here… I need to make sure to remember that." PFN said.

"That's what this is for." TheWhiteTitan said, ringing the bell. "I'm like Eddy when he swallowed that fly, except I can talk."

"Is he allowed in here as he technically doesn't work here?" 61394 asks.

"He is… he works with me." NeoMark said.

"Ok." 61394 says nonchalantly.

"Anyway… let's give them a boy. These two would at least part on good terms at least, maybe 5 or 6 years after their son is born. I'm gonna say his name will be… Mamoru. Not for Tuxedo Mask, but Mamoru Mohri, the first Japanese astronaut. So… a sort of space theme." NeoMark said.

"Right… because the first man from the land of the rising sun to walk on the moon hasn't done it yet." Deadpool said. "Mostly because of the aliens using it to keep their eyes on us."

"... huh?" FP11 went.

"So…" NeoMark gestured to 61394 and BCFW. "Since you guys suggested Mawari and Akeno… let's say after he and Lunar probably divorce… because I don't think most people care for this one… what kind of kid would he have if either one of them became his second wife?"

"So, you're doing a divergent point." 61394 says. "All right, in the timeline Danny meets/marries Mawari they'll have a boy Jinbei and a daughter named Kotomi."

"First off, it's not a divergent point. I just said they'll probably divorce after their son is born and he remarries someone else. Second, I get the One Piece reference, but why Kotomi?" NeoMark asks.

"I named Danny and Mawari's daughter after an actress who played Batgirl since both Mawari and Barbara are the daughters of police officers." 61394 said. "Also, yeah, it's a divergent point. The Danny who marries and divorces Lunar either ends up with Mawari or Akeno"

"With Akeno, I'd suggest a boy. Name him…Taro, and he'd be slightly neurotic/disciplined as he does to make his parents proud. BCFW explained.

"Cool… I'll name the firstborn for each Jinbei and Taro respectively." NeoMark said. "So… thoughts?"

"Well, I guess I'm neutral to the Danny and Lunar thing in general." FP11 admitted.

"I'm okay with it. I kinda like the haughty princess character type, they're funny tsunderes." TheWhiteTitan said with a shrug.

"It's going to be kind of interesting that Danny got divorce and I want to know how this affects some people." PFN said..

"I only hope they end up happy." Luiz4200 commented.

"I don't have an attachment one way or another to Lunar. I never got far enough in the series to actually see her." 61394 says. "She and Danny are interesting. I can see them working as a couple or see them wanting to strangle each other, fifty-fifty."

"Meh." BCFW replaced his normal glasses with thick-rimmed spectacles, imitating a hipster.

"And…" Deadpool went. "We're here… the FINAL girl."

"YES! FINALLY!" NeoMark went, his expression relaxing.

"...you sure seem excited." FP11 snarked.

"Yeah! We're almost there. Home stretch. Why do you think I bumped my just-for-me pick to last?" NeoMark said.

"This calls for a celebration." Deadpool said. "Bloody Horn Bull steaks!"

"Garlic or onion steak sauce? Because I kinda use the rest earlier." TheWhiteTitan holding two bottles of flavored steak sauce.

"Both are options." Deadpool insisted.

Plates of steaks slid towards everyone.

"Hmm…" FP11 took a bite. "This seasoning is just right and it's cooked so tender. Delicious."

"Agreed. Even if it's not exactly something we can get at a local supermarket." NeoMark said.

"I'll try most things at least once." 61394 said.

"Itadakimasu." BCFW clasped his hands and bowed. Following the short prayer, silverware flew to his side.

"Yummy." Luiz4200 said.

"This is delicious." PFN said.

"There's more where that came from." TheWhiteTitan said as he pulled out another plate full of Bloody Horn Bull steaks.

"And now…" NeoMark said.

Yuki Kusakabe, now at age 15, was on her way out of school.

To her sides were her two best friends. Hikari Takahashi, a Demi-Vampire who is energetic, the same girl who went with her to America, is the girl walking further ahead. But next to her was the friend who didn't come, Kyouko Machi, a dullahan who carried her head in her hands.

"Ugh… that test was brutal…" Hikari groaned out loud.

"Really?" Kyouko asks. "I thought it was quite easy to go through…"

"That's because you study harder than us…" Yuki muttered in sarcasm, out of earshot.

The three Demi girls continue their walk before Hikari sees someone up ahead. Someone that made Hikari grin mischievously.

"Oh Yuki-kins…" She went. "Your knight in shining armor is here…"

Hikari pointed ahead as Yuki, seeing him, felt her heart skip as she quickened her pace.

"Danny!" Yuki caught up to him.

"Sup?" Danny went to his demi-human girlfriend, whose eyes seemed to sparkle at seeing him.

"It's been a week… I didn't think we'd spend time together again until tomorrow." Yuki said cheerfully.

"I was able to get stuff done… after I took care of Technus. Although… Skulker was after me… again." Danny rolled his eyes.

"That guy needs a hobby." Hikari chimes in as she and Kyouko catch up to them.

"Trying to skin me IS his hobby…" Danny adds with a bitter look before smiling. "Also, sup, Girls."

"Hello, Danny." Kyouko, who has known him for some time, greeted politely.

"So… are you here to sweep her off her feet?" Hikari grinned at the lovebirds.

"Only as soon as she and I are out of sight. I promised that, this weekend, I'd take her to meet Danielle." Danny said.

"Oh? Meeting the fam? What a big step!" Hikari said with a smile as Kyouko giggled.

"I already met his sister and parents…" Yuki insisted, her face turning red.

"Heeee…" Hikari squealed.

"When will you two go?" Kyouko asks.

"We can head whenever she's ready." Danny said to Kyouko before redirecting his attention to Yuki. "Well?"

"Let's go!" Yuki took his hand before looking at her friends. "Sorry, girls. But, as you said, my knight's come to sweep me off my feet."

"Understood." Kyouko smiled at her.

"Keep it PG, you two!" Hikari said in a naughty tone.

"Hikari…" Yuki blushed, looking embarrassed.

"Right. Later." Danny went as he lightly pulled Yuki into following him.

"B-Bye!" Yuki waved to them as they left.

"Bye! See ya!" Hikari waved to them as she and Kyouko went for home.

Once the two found an ideal spot, Danny morphed and carried Yuki into the air, holding her like a bride.

Yuki always enjoyed these moments, being held by him, above the buildings and seeing the world from this point of view. It made her feel special to be loved by someone like him.

"Ready, Yuki?" Danny asks.

"Not just yet…" Yuki smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

The two shared a brief kiss before Danny flew Yuki to her house, intending for them to spend time together.

---

"Wonderful…" NeoMark sighed with joy.

"The scene or these hamburger steaks made of monster bulls and pigs?" Deadpool asks.

"Both." NeoMark said. "Especially these cutlets…" He holds up one piece of fried meat.

"Mmm…" FP11 smiled. "I think I like the combination ones. Especially with that garlic sauce..." She said.

"I personally enjoy the bloody horn-bull… their meat is pretty tender." 61394 chewed and savored his meal.

"Orc is the best." Deadpool wagged his finger.

"Dragon." BCFW spoke bluntly.

"None of these were made with dragon meat. That's after…" NeoMark said.

"Dragon." BCFW still spoke bluntly.

"There's cheese in this hamburger steak. It tastes really great." PFN said.

"Ni- *BURP*-ce. Oh… excuse me. I love hamburgers." Luiz4200 commented.

"The red dragon meat's almost ready. So, in the meantime...How do you think it'll go with Yuki? I mean, she never realized that the two people she liked are one and the same. That's gotta be awkward." TheWhiteTitan commented, wearing an apron that said 'DUNGEON MESHI' on it.

"Ok, let's make Dragon tartare." BCFW rubbed his hands together as he put in cooking gloves. "Now, we just need an egg."

"Thankfully, she found out at the end and it was all good." NeoMark said.

"...what was that about red dragon meat?" FP11 asked.

"Uh... It's really good, especially on pizza..." TheWhiteTitan said to make the idea of eating dragon more appealing.

"Right… time for…" NeoMark smiled. "A Future with Monster Girls…"

---

15 years have passed since they started dating.

Yuki was now Danny's wife, living with him in America.

Though in America, she decided to wear a kimono when at home, one for casual living. She admits to finding it oddly comforting.

Yuki Fenton was a proud manga artist, doing her work digitally while sending them to her publisher. It was a stay-at-home job she took with great pride.

"Mama!" A little girl's voice caught her attention.

Yuki sat up, looking outside her door.

"Aoi?" She asks before getting up.

She made her way out, coming across a small girl. One who had her black hair in a boyish length that had a greenish tint while wearing a light green dress. Then there were her eyes, they may have been blue like her father's, but they had the same pupil less tint of a yuki-onna that she got from her mother.

"Mama? When's Papa coming?" Little Aoi Fenton asks.

Realizing her daughter simply wanted to play with the father she loves, Yuki happily patted her 5 year old daughter on the head.

"Soon, Aoi." Yuki assures her child.

"Okay… I wanna learn how to fly, like he promised." Aoi went.

Yuki giggled. Aoi, whose name came from the blue of her eyes that she had since birth, had her father's enjoyment of flight. A power Yuki herself envied to a degree.

"I wish I had something you got from me that you could be proud of…" Yuki said.

"But, Mama? I do." Aoi said with a big smile. "Papa says I'm beautiful like you…"

"It's true." Danny's voice caught their attention.

Yuki, seeing her husband home, felt a warmth to her face, evident by the pink tint in her cheeks.

"How was work? Or was it your hobby that kept you away?" Yuki asks.

"Work this time." Danny said before approaching, taking a knee to pat his daughter on the head. "Hey there, Aoi. Ready to fly?"

"I am, Papa!" Aoi hopped repeatedly, excited to try.

"Alright…" Danny lightly chuckled. "Wait outside and we'll practice."

"Yay!" Aoi went, hurrying outside.

"Hmm…" Yuki went with a smile. "She has your energy."

"She's 5. She's pure energy…" Danny retorted.

"True. But maybe as she gets older, she'll kick major butt. She'll be a lot like you." Yuki said, noticing a panicked look on his face.

"I hope not…" Danny said. "I don't want her to have those shakes Tucker, Danielle, and I used to do with Hikari with liver and onions was… a mistake. The diarrhea… I swore off those shakes for a month. It was a total flush.." He muttered as Yuki stifled a laugh.

This caught his attention and his amusement.

All these years and she still can't help it when he makes a goofy pun.

Danny then wrapped an arm around her as he pulled her in.

"So, my love? Care to watch your little angel fly? I meant Aoi, not me…" Danny said.

"I sure am." Yuki said.

The two shared a kiss before joining their daughter outside.

"And there… you… have it!" NeoMark said with a glorious smile. Deadpool raised a hand. "And yes! I will let these two have another child. Let's say a son who looks has Aoi's hair, black with a green tint, but Yuki's eye color. Name him… Haru, Harry as a nickname. If possible, they'd have two more kids. Another boy named Kuro, not named after the 5 Years Later guy before you ask, and a girl named Ayaka."

"Hmm… you sure seem happy about this timeline..." FP11 said as she ate more of the Roast Red Dragon that was served during the scene.

"Yeah… I wanna give Danny at max 4 kids with 1 lady." NeoMark explained.

"I see." FP11 said as she took another bite.

"And you save that four children family with your favorite girl, I take it?!" BCFW smiled wide through another bite of dragon.

"Hmm… this dragon tastes a lot like hamburger…" 61394 said.

"Really? Hmm…" PFN took another bite and tasted something different. "It doesn't taste like chicken… more like beef."

"It tastes like chicken to me." Luiz4200 said.

"I like it!" Yakko went.

"Me too!" Wakko lifted the table and let the contents slide into his mouth.

"...I didn't even finish the pizza…" Dot grumbled.

"Don't worry, there's more where that came from." TheWhiteTitan as he quickly made another pizza.

"And with that… we have one more chapter to go." NeoMark let out a breath in relief.

"Indeed…" A familiar voice said.

Suddenly, a certain ghost of time appeared before them.

"Oh… uh… sup, Clockwork?" Deadpool went.

A thank you to all authors featured.

One left...

Jebest4781: Thanks.

The Disquieting One: Well, bear in mind... even gamers thought the name was stupid.

Warrior of the Forbidden Flame: True but... I like to keep things to a set time.

guardian1989: Not done yet, my friend, one to go.

Invader Johnny: Indeed, she has a family of blood now.

RonaldM40196867: Not sure. Kim, Sakura, Makoto and Asuka. I guess? 6teen. Makoto, Starfire, Abby and Yuki. I just wanted to use pre-existing ones from other works.

JerodStorm: I see. Also, it's from the Fatal Fury Pachinko game. It's the only thing from that game outside of Alice worth keeping.

Menatron: Thanks.

LockAndKey989: You're welcome. Also, yeah, just the new ones.

Wiliam Escobar 608: Si, era Kula.

AtomicPixel: I suppose they would do such a thing with Kula. More like it emits energy. More like Danny doesn't go all out for someone like Rock. Sorry but that's all I can answer right now.

JDF Legacier Morphicon: 1) All. 2) Stranded. 3) No. 4) Blue. 5) Shock.

To the last two... I am already an artist. Please do not reach out to me as I've been made aware of scammers like you.
