A/N: Hey guys! Before I begin I want to answer some questions left in the reviews. The time thing will be confronted soon. There's foreshadowing in this chapter see if you catch it ;). What I know about time confuses me greatly so bear(stupid homophones) with me please! The reason I kept the name as Daniel is addressed at the end of this chapter because I want you guys to think about it(remember the beginning of the episode)! By the way I'm sorry this chapter's short. I've had a very busy week. My school went to regions with drama. And I'm a Girl Scout selling cookies. My troop decided to have ten billion cookie booths this year so yeah you could say I've been busy. Anyway I'll get out of your hair, enjoy!

Chapter 2

Dinner was an intervention.

Maddie had made meatball subs with extra cheese, Daniel's favorite but tonight they tasted like dirt. Daniel was also drinking chocolate milk, which he hadn't had in five years. When Maddie had asked The Danny Kid what he would like to drink the guy had the indecency to ask for the same thing. That impertinent son of a bitch.

Vlad kept asking The Danny Kid to, "Tell him about himself." Maddie kept asking the kid about phone numbers or addresses but The Danny Kid kept dodging questions or not giving a straight answer.

Looking back on it Daniel realized the only thing he knew about this intruder was that his name was Danny, his parents had been in an accident and he came from Amity Park (wherever that was).

After many awkward silences and staring at plates dinner was over. The Danny Kid helped clear the table and even wash the dishes. Daniel couldn't figure this kid out. If he was in his shoes Daniel would have faked a headache or something so he wouldn't have to help.

Once everything was cleaned Maddie asked Daniel to show Danny to a guest room. Unable to find a way out of it Daniel was forced to show The Danny Kid around.

The pair walked silently down the West corridor. Every once in a while Daniel had to turn and check that The Danny Kid was still behind him. This kid is as silent as a ghost is; the thought gave Daniel chills. Something was weird about this kid. The feeling of weirdness Daniel had felt when he first saw The Danny Kid had returned stronger than ever.

After a while The Danny Kid spoke up, "What is your problem?"

Daniel stopped in his tracks, "My problem?" he asked spinning around to face The Danny Kid, "You, kind sir, are my problem. You're the one who invaded my home. You're the one who slept in my bed. You're the one who somehow managed to get on my parents' good sides! Something I hadn't even thought possible! You're the one who called my mother mom! What the hell was that?" Seeing the stunned look on The Danny Kid's face amused Daniel more than he had thought it would.

"What?"

Seeing a hurt expression made a wave of guilt crash down on Daniel. He hadn't meant to snap at the kid. Daniel had had a very long and very tiring day plus he was starting to fall asleep on his feet, not a good sign.

Before Daniel could apologize a closet to his right popped open spilling junk across the hallway.

"Damn it!" Daniel screamed at the ceiling. Could his day get any worse?

"Hey," The Danny Kid said, "It's alright, we'll just clean it up."

Daniel took a deep breath, trying to calm his quickly fraying nerves, "Right" he said. Daniel took another deep breath before bending down to pick up a vacuum. "This closet has issues. My mom complains about it all the time. She says the doorknob is too short or something stupid like that."

"What is all of this stuff?" The Danny Kid asked. He held up a carpet foamer in one hand.

"Um, cleaning supplies," Daniel said it like The Danny Kid was stupid. Daniel's foot kicked a thermos out of the junk pile, "Among other things, apparently."

The Danny Kid gave Daniel a look full of sass; "It doesn't look like cleaning supplies to me."

The pair started to shove the stuff back into the closet; "Well what does it look like then?" Daniel dared to ask as he tried to play Tetris with a box and the vacuum.

"Ghost hunting supplies, maybe."

Daniel stopped for a second and the box tumbled to the floor landing on his foot.

"Ow! Ghost-what? You believe in ghosts? What are you five years old?" The Danny Kid leaned against the junk to keep it in the closet while Daniel pushed the door closed and nursed a sore toe.

"No, fifteen actually" The Danny kid retorted.

The door put up a fight but using their combined effort the pair conquered the junk/cleaning supplies monster.

Once they were done the pair stood staring at the closet. The Danny Kid suddenly laughed out of the blue, "Organized my butt."

"What?" Daniel asked.

"Oh! Umm earlier my mo- a friend of mine said all women are organized."

"Oh, well that doesn't describe my mother."

"No it doesn't," After seeing the look on Daniel's face The Danny Kid added, "Seem like it. It doesn't seem like she's very organized."

Daniel shook his head and turned around to be confronted by the stupid thermos. Daniel bent and snatched it from the floor. "Look," he said holding it up, "An escapee."

The Danny Kid smiled, "I guess he didn't want to go back in that black hole of a closet."

"Ha, I wouldn't want to either," Daniel tucked the thermos under his arm, "There is no way I am ever intentionally opening that closet again."

There was a sudden bang from behind the shut door making both boys jump. Smoke started pouring out from the crack between the floor and the closet door. Daniel swore, turned on his heels and bolted away down the hallway hoping The Danny Kid was behind him.

Danny

The boys ran from the scene of the crime for longer than should have been possible in a normal house. Long enough for Danny to begin to worry about his sides splitting.

When that door burst open a spike of hope warmed Danny's core. His mom still had her ghost hunting gear! That meant she's still the same Maddie (Wow, that's cool to say!) and knowing her she'll have a working ghost portal. Now Danny's only problem was Daniel. The hero side of him couldn't just leave the poor creep here alone. What would happen to him when the timeline gets fixed? Danny knew just enough about time to understand that it would be nothing good. Daniel was a bit of a jerk but how many times had Danny saved Dash?

Danny sighed. He'd have to worry about the Daniel question later. For now when they eventually found the guest room Danny was going to sleep and when he was positive everyone in the house was dead out he would look for the portal.

All of this Danny had thought as he and Daniel ran away from the explosion. Finally, at long last, Daniel slowed to a stop and leaned against a wall.
"I think…we're safe…here," Daniel said between pants.

"Tell me…again, why…did we run…away?" Danny asked nursing a major cramp near his kidney.
Daniel held up a finger, "Let me…catch my breath."

Danny nodded and leaned his head down in an effort to slow his heart. After a while Daniel spoke, "We ran because I don't want my parents to think I intentionally blew up the cleaning supplies. Besides, what if it exploded even more?"

"So, you panicked?" Danny summed up crossing his arms.

"What? No way! I'm not a chicken." Daniel threw up his defensive shield and Danny raised his hands in defeat but he couldn't wipe the smug look off his face.

Daniel crossed his arms and put his foot on the wall he was leaning against. Rolling his eyes he said, "That's your room." and jerked a thumb over his shoulder at the door on his right.

Danny walked forward and put his hand on the doorknob but didn't turn it.

"It's not rigged if that's what you're worried about," Daniel said reading Danny's mind. Danny gave Daniel a suspicious look but didn't argue he just pushed the door open.

Inside was the biggest bedroom Danny had ever seen and after seeing Daniel's room that was saying something. The room was big enough to fit at least four of Danny's back home side by side. A four-post bed was opposite the door and another door was to the right, probably leading to a bathroom, to the left was a huge wardrobe. A small "Whoa," escaped Danny's lips against his will.

"Hey," Daniel said behind Danny making him jump. Daniel was standing behind Danny in the doorway of the bedroom.

"Yeah?" Danny asked, still in shock.

"I'm sorry I snapped at you earlier," Daniel said. Danny was surprised. The jerks he usually helped (Dash and co.) never apologized,
"I'm just really tired. I had a very late night and an even longer day. I guess what I'm trying to say is, truce?" Daniel stuck out his hand for a handshake.

Danny hesitated, staring at Daniel's outstretched arm. "Hey," the guy said shaking his arm a bit, "I don't have that great of arm muscles you know."
Danny gulped. Something in the back of his mind was advising against touching Daniel but Danny ignored it. He raised his arm and made to grasp Daniel's hand, "Tru-OW!"

"AHG!" Daniel cried at the same time.

The second the boys hands touched a sharp spike of pain pierced Danny's brain and rooted itself there. Daniel snatched his hand away from Danny and held onto his head like he was trying to keep it together. Danny wrapped his arms around his stomach and fell to his knees as he fought off a wave of nausea for what felt like the tenth time that day.

"What the hell was that?" Daniel growled rubbing his temples. As the initial wave of nausea subsided Danny stood using the door for support. "I have no idea." Danny replied taking deep breaths. After a beat Danny said, "I'm going to lay down."

Daniel nodded then stopped looking a little green. "See ya," Daniel turned away and walked down the hall without an answer and Danny pushed the door closed.

As he stumbled to the bed Danny went over the events of the day in the back of his mind. All in all it could have been a lot worse. Danny wasn't sure how mush worse but he wasn't necessarily willing to find out. He had had worse days with Pariah Dark and the ghost knight or meeting Dan or dealing with losing his memory after Sam accidentally-Sam. The thought of her and Tucker on their deathbeds brought Danny back to reality. His friends were in danger and it was up to him to save them. Danny pushed himself up to full height Time to get down to business.

"I'm going gho-"Danny began before another wave of nausea racked his body. "Crap" Danny said as he plopped down on the bed. Looks like business would have to wait.

Danny sighed. He'd have to be more careful about going ghost in this house. He'd already almost blown his cover by calling his mom 'mom'. Plus his mom still had her fighting equipment (How she had kept it from "We don't talk about ghosts in this house" Vlad Danny had no idea) and Daniel now had a Fenton thermos (Danny doubted the kid knew how to use it. The kid seemed just as ignorant of Maddie's (Still cool!) ghost ventures a Vlad was).

Danny's worries faded to the back of his mind as he lay down fully clothed, on the plush bed. He would get the thermos later. Now Danny was going to recover his strength with a much-needed nap.

A/N: Hey, you made it! So I'm sorry if there are major mistakes in this chapter. When I put it into the website the format was screwed up and something funky happened and yeah. Anyway, have you guessed? Well make one quick cuz here it comes(prepare for something anti-climatic)! I kept the name as Daniel because Maddie would have chosen the name. When Danny meets jack as a lonely guy he says, "Danny? That's a stupid name" and mentions that his cat's name is Jasmine. Seeing this Jack named the first child and Maddie named the second. I figured that Vlad would let Maddie have her way because he's so obsessed with her. I hope that the next chapter has much more action than this one & I hope this one wasn't too boring. Anyway read & review please! It keeps me going. I never realized the value of a long review before! Alright, until next time, GeekyZelda!
