OLIVER AND COMPANY (DANNY PHANTOM STYLE)

New York City. A bustling, busy heavily populated city. Smoke came out of the buildings, people were trying to catch a taxi or were stuck in the heavy traffic that flowed down the streets.

Now it's always once upon a time, in New York City
It's a big old, bad old, tough old town, it's true
But beginnings are contagious there

People were hustling and bustling to get to work, go to school, get groceries and other stuff people do in their daily lives. But at the orphanage just on the corner of Fifth Avenue, families were going in and out of the place for it was Adoption Week and all the children both ghost and human inside were excited and feeling hope to be adopted and finally have a family to call their own.

They're always setting stages there
They're always turning pages there for you

One girl in particular was extremely excited. Her name was Danielle but she preferred to be called Dani. She was twelve years old and had black ebony hair that was tied back in a pony-tail, blue piercing eyes, wore red shorts and a blue hoodie with a red beanie on her head. She was also the only half-ghost child in the orphanage.

She watched and played with the other children as couples spoke, played and hung out with them and by the end of the day, some of them had gone home finally being adopted but Danielle was one of the ones who wasn't adopted that day but she still had the rest of the week and remained hopeful that she would finally have a family.

Ain't it great the way it all begins in New York City
Right away, you're making time, and making friends
No one cares where you were yesterday
If they pick you out, you're on your way
To a once upon a time that never ends

The week continued and one by one, Dani saw more of her friends being adopted by families but she kept her hopes up that soon a nice couple would pick her.

So Danielle, don't be shy
Get out there and go and try
Believin' that you're the guy
They're dying to see
'Cause a dream's no crime
Not once upon a time
Once upon a time in New York City

If it's always once upon a time in New York City
Why does nightfall leave you feeling so alone
How could anyone stay starry-eyed
When it's raining cats and dogs outside
And the rain has said "now you're on your own"

Unfortunately for Dani, the week had ended and she was adopted. On the Sunday of that evening, she sat outside the orphanage's doors watching the rain fall down as she cried feeling her hope disappear and all the happiness she felt during the week, gone in an instant. This was what it was like for her every Adoption Week which happened two to three in the year and all the years she had lived at the orphanage she had not been adopted once.

Finally she decided she had enough of being rejected and so she started running away not even looking back once. If a family wasn't going to pick her, then she would find her own family.

So Danielle don't be scared
Though yesterday no one cared
They're getting your place prepared
Where you want to be
Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City

She ran into an alleyway hoping to find shelter from the continuing rain but suddenly heard the sounds of growling. She turned to see three vicious looking dogs looking at her hungrily. Her eyes widened in fear and suddenly there was a bright light around her waist and she her appearance changed to snow white hair and glowing green eyes. She quickly started flying at top speed hoping to get away from the dogs as they chased after her. She saw a tall fence and phased right through it while the dogs were still on the other side, barking and clawing at the fence as she continued to fly.

Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City

She finally found shelter at an old warehouse where there was a slightly damaged but clean old mattress. She changed back into her human form and phased the water off her. She then laid down on the mattress feeling really tired and fell asleep hoping that the next day would be better.

Keep your dream alive
Dreaming is still how the strong survive
Once upon a time in New York City

And it's always once upon a time, in New York City
