DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Danny Phantom or Kim Possible!

"Dad, I'm home!" Kim Possible said, returning from a mission.

Mr. Dr. Possible was sitting on the couch with a frustrated expression. "What's wrong, Dad?" Kim gave her dad a worried look and he sighed and responded.

"Hey, Kimmi-cub. I was just going over some paper work from the lab. We had a break-in yesterday and they stole one of our new experimental projects."

Kim raised her eyebrow at her father. "What was it?"

Her father sighed again. "I wish I could tell you, but it's top secret, but I can tell you it has to do with energy." He continued to shuffle through his papers.

"If there was a break-in, why wasn't it on the news?"

"They're keeping it hush-hush, because of its... 'danger factor'." He put air quotes after the last part.

"Hmmm…"

"Well, best not to dig too deep; If the boss needs it covered up for safety, I, for one, plan to keep it that way until I know otherwise." Kim then heard her Kimmunicator beep in its oh-so-familiar fashion. She quickly whipped it out and walked out of the room.

"What's the sitch, Wade?" The screen flickered to reveal Wade, 12-year-old super-genius extraordinaire.

"Hey, Kim. You wouldn't have happened to hear about the break-in at your dad's lab last night, would you?"

She raised her eyebrow in an inquisitive fashion. "Yes, but I don't know much about it."

He started to type on his computer. "Well, then, here's some info for you." He then flicked up a picture of a security junction that was viciously destroyed. "The burns look familiar, I hope."

"Shego?"

"Yup, though I don't know what she stole yet. Whatever it was, they were really keeping it under wraps."

"Yeah, my dad said it was super top-secret, but it had something to do with energy."

The genius then proceeded to type at his computer again. "I'll keep looking into it and let you know what I find."

"Thanks, Wade."

"See ya." With that, the screen flickered off and she continued back to her room. Just as she sat down, her phone started ringing.

"Hello?"

"Kim!"

"What's up, Ron?"

"You have to save me!"

"From what?" She began to become worried at her boyfriend's frightened tone.

"My cousin is coming and she scares the heck out of me!"

Kim sighed. "Ron, I thought you were really in danger."

"I will be if she finally goes through with killing me, like she always threatens to!"

Kim rubbed her temples. "And what do you want me to do about her?"

"Just come out for dinner tomorrow with us. She won't come after me if I have back up."

Kim let out a more exasperated sigh. "Fine. Where we going anyway?"

"Some place called Hiro's."

"Sounds good. I'll be there."

"Thank you so much." He sounded like he was almost sobbing on the other side of the line before she hung up.

Danny Fenton walked up to the door and rung the doorbell, which was quickly answered by the super-Goth, Sam Manson. "Hey, right on time."

Danny smiled as he walked inside. "I don't want to give your parents any reason to change their mind, trust me."

"Yeah, not with what I had to do to make them say yes."

Danny smirked. "You mean them making you-"

"Don't EVER bring it up. EVER."

He laughed a little as he set his bag down. "It's too bad Tuck couldn't come with us."

"Yeah, but he's bound to be having more fun at that Con two towns over."

They both laughed. "Anyway, you've been to Middleton before, right?"

Danny nodded excitedly. "Yeah, I used to do the Junior Cadet Astronaut Program there every summer. Dr. Possible was a really great scientist, and made everything he talked about fun, even the math." Sam simply listened as Danny began to prattle on about summer adventures while they waited for her parents. It only took about 15 minutes for them to finally finish their preparations and met them at the door.

Both of her parents gave Danny a slightly agitated look when they saw him. "Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Manson."

"Hello, Fenton. Be warned there will be no crazy antics on this trip! The last thing we need is another Fenton to mess things up." Mrs. Manson nodded in agreement as she walked past them with her husband.

"I figured they still hated me, but, man, they can certainly hold a grudge."

Sam glared at her parents as they walked out the door. "They never change," she sighed exasperatedly.

"Hey, at least they said I could come, right? They were far more stubborn before, especially after that whole Freakshow thing."

She smiled at her optimistic friend. "Yeah, I guess that's a plus. That, and I need someone to keep my self-control in check before I strangle my cousin."

Danny laughed again. "Just because he used to annoy you, doesn't mean he hasn't changed."

Sam crossed her arms. "We'll have to see about that, won't we."

A doorbell rung and a very frightened Ron Stoppable quickly yanked open the door. "Kim!"

"Calm down, Ron. It's not the end of the world."

He put his hands on his head and shivered. "Yeah, but it might be the end of mine!"

Kim placed a hand on his shoulder. "Just calm down." Her attempts to quell his fear were useless as he only continued to panic.

"They'll be here any minute! Hide me!" He ran behind her and peeked over at the door, immediately jumping when the doorbell rang again. Unable to get Ron to comply with anything she said, she decided to get the door instead. As she opened the door, she couldn't help but notice the overly-peppy attitude the Mansons had. Though on the outside she was smiling, on the inside she was already regretting getting pulled into this.

"Hello, Ronald!" Mrs. Manson called in an overly-peppy tone, noticing her nephew just behind Kim.

"H-hi, Aunt Pam. Come in, my dad's in the kitchen." As the two peppy parents walked in, the two straggling teenagers were making their way up to the front door. Ron immediately ducked behind Kim as he spotted his cousin. "Yipe!"

Kim rolled her eyes as she watched the scene playing out in front of her. She saw a raven-haired boy desperately trying to pull an ebony-haired girl, whom she assumed was the scary cousin, up to the house. "Apparently, she's just as inclined not to see you as you are to see her."

"Come on, Sam! Just come in before your parents blame me for it! The last thing I need is to be blamed for another thing I didn't do!" Sam was very strongly pulling away from him.

"No, I changed my mind! Better not take any chances and ruin my weekend further!" This went on for about a minute before Danny was finally able to get Sam up to the door.

"Hi, you must be Sam Manson, and...?"

"Danny Fenton. I'm her friend that came along for the ride." Sam glared at Ron and Ron continued to cower in fear.

"I'm Kim Possible, my boyfriend, Ron Stoppable, had me come over because he thought you were going to try and kill him." Ron let out another yelp and continued to cower.

"So you're THE Kim Possible?"

"Who?" Sam glared at Danny for asking a ridiculous question.

"She's a high school hero who saves the world from eccentric bad guys, sound familiar?"

Danny rubbed the back of his neck and grinned sheepishly. "I'm not a big news person."

Quickly changing the subject from his inherent lack of world events, he addressed Ron. "So, hi, Ron. You can stop cowering. I'm here to make sure she doesn't kill you."

He outstretched a hand to him and the very scared Ron stepped out from behind Kim to shake it. "Thank you."

The parents then all shuffled back over to the front door. "All right, let's be on our way!"

Sam rolled her eyes at her mother's annoyingly over-peppy tone.

At the restaurant, he parents sat at a separate table from the teens.

"At least I don't have to sit with them," Sam sighed and put her head on her propped hand.

"You could say that again," Danny agreed.

"Are they always like that?" Kim looked back over to their table.

"To my utter disdain, yes."

"I kind of like their bright attitude." Sam glared daggers at Ron, who instantly ducked behind the table cloth.

Danny, seeing what just happened, put his hand on her shoulder. "He doesn't know, so just let it go."

Sam calmed down with a sigh. "Fine."

Kim then tried to start a conversation. "So, you're all from Amity Park? I heard it was haunted." She laughed at her own comment.

"Only the most haunted town on Earth," Sam responded dryly. Kim and Ron were both surprised at her response with how serious it was.

"Wait, really?"

"T-there's no such thing as g-ghosts!"

A grin formed on Sam's face. "Ah, but they are most definitely real. Amity Park has even been invaded a couple times and even been temporarily trapped in the ghost dimension."

Kim got a little agitated by Sam's attempts to scare Ron. "Okay, I understand you two have some sort of family issues, but please stop making up crazy stories to scare him."

Sam raised an eyebrow at Kim, her mischievous smirk now gone. "It's not made up." Kim rolled her eyes at the Goth, which made her somewhat angry.

Danny immediately intervened as he saw the conversation going south and stopped Sam from yelling at her. "Okay, that's enough. Even though you're not lying, you don't have to use the Amity Park haunts as a way to scare Ron." He then turned to Kim. "Yes, the town is haunted and it has been invaded by ghosts several times."

Though Kim readily dismissed both of their ghostly claims, she respected his attempt to quell the situation and changed the subject.

"So, your parents seem like stereotypical rich people. What about you?"

"She's an individualist, her personality stemming from the fact that she hates everything her parents do." Danny seemed to laugh as he said that.

"Okay, so I understand that the Mansons inherited money, but what about your parents, Danny?" Danny immediately smacked his forehead in regret of bringing up parents.

"His parents are paranoid, eccentric ghost hunters." Danny winced and Kim and Ron both stared at her in bewilderment.

"Don't you think this joke is getting old?" Kim had snapped out of her stupor and narrowed her eyes at Sam.

"It's not a joke," Sam said matching the redhead's gaze.

Danny groaned and sat up. "Stop, please! Yes, my parents are ghost hunting freaks and, no, she is not lying!" Danny's outburst seemed to get them both to back off each other.

"So, how do you make a living, doing that sort of thing anyway?" Ron had finally snapped out of his stupor during Danny's outburst.

"The Fentons make ghost weapons, shields, detectors, and plenty of other stuff for fighting ghosts."

"But ghosts don't exist…"

"Believe me they definitely exist, Ron," Sam shot at her cousin in a less agitated tone than before. Before anyone could respond, Kim's Kimmunicator went off.

"What's the sitch, Wade?"

The boy genius appeared on the screen with a rather confident smile on his face. "I was able to figure out what the machine Shego stole was."

"Shego stole something?" Ron seemed as out of the loop as usual.

"Yeah, from my dad's lab the other night."

"Anyway, it's a machine that converts energy and it was specially made for another project in the lab that wasn't stolen."

"So, what was it?"

"From what I was able to find, it's some kind of inter-dimensional portal. The lead scientist, who was also the investor, never actually told anyone or wrote down to where it supposedly lead to." Danny and Sam who had been listening quietly looked at each other questioningly.

"So what kind of energy does this thing make?"

"That also has me confused, I've never seen an energy print like this before. Here, I'll sent you a copy, but I doubt it'll help."

"So, who exactly is that?" Danny finally asked.

"That's Wade, a 12-year-old super-genius. Oh, by the way, what can you tell me about ghosts and Amity Park?"

"So you really didn't believe me, huh?" Kim ignored Sam's annoyed sarcasm and waited for Wade's answer.

"Only that it's the most haunted town on Earth. Apparently, they have ghost sightings on a daily basis and have their own ghostly superhero, Danny Phantom." Kim couldn't contain her shock. "Why do you ask?"

"Ron's cousin from Amity Park was saying how her friend's parents hunt ghosts for a living."

"So, she must be talking about the Fentons. They are currently in charge of all ghostly defense matters in the city."

Kim sighed. "Thanks, Wade."

"Okay, I'll let you know if I find anything else."

Kim put the Kimmunicator away. "I'm sorry I didn't believe you."

"It's fine. I know all too well of how quickly people dismiss the idea of ghosts."

Ron laughed a little. "That probably means you're not too popular, huh?"

Sam couldn't laughing even more at Ron's question. "You're looking at the guy voted, 'most likely to be shoved in his locker' in last year's yearbook."

Danny simply glared at Sam and sighed. "And it seems Dash is going for a new record this year as well."

Ron couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards his situation, seeing as he is very low on the social ladder himself. "Well, I'm not all that popular either, though Kim's captain of the cheerleading squad." Sam cringed at Ron's statement.

"That would explain why Sam seemed to get easily agitated by you. Her Goth instinct could sense the cheerleader in you." Danny covered his mouth and laughed, getting a punch in the arm from Sam.

"Don't worry, Kim's not one of the shallow cheerleaders you always see."

"Yeah, that's Bonnie."

"And she is?" Ron leaned over to Sam.

"She's like Kim's arch-rival on the squad and a stereotypical A-lister."

Danny had finished rubbing his shoulder and butt in. "Sounds like a Middleton version of Paulina, who just so happens to be Sam's least favorite person in the whole school."

Ron and Danny both laughed. "I guess you guys have more in common than I thought."

"See, we can have a nice civil conversation over- Oh, food's here!" Danny sat up excitedly, as did Ron. As the waiter finished placing their food, Sam couldn't help but scowl at Danny's steak.

"Really?"

Danny looked at his steak and then back to Sam. "Hey, I respect that you don't eat meat, please respect that I do." With that he quickly started slicing his steak into smaller pieces.

"Still on that vegetarian thing huh?"

Sam crossed her arms. "Ultra-Recyclo-Vegetarian."

Both Kim and Ron raised their eyebrows at that. "And that means?"

"She doesn't eat anything with a face on it," Danny explained. He then took the first bite of his prime cut, which only agitated Sam more. With a sigh, she then began to partake over her tofu platter.
