A/N: My first official fanfic was pretty successful, but the sequel didn't get much reviews. Anyways, I've decided to write this one until I figure out a good plot for the other. :) Now there isn't many stories revolving around Dani Phantom and she was my favorite character for a long time. So, I hope you enjoy.
Oh, I don't own Danny Phantom. Or a hamster... T.T
Danny thought life would be easier after the Disasteroid.
He couldn't be more wrong.
There were several advantages to everyone knowing his secret. There were less problems in school and no bullies since people respected him more. His current girlfriend, Sam, never failed to bring him happiness in the worst of times. His techno-geek/mayor/best friend was still there for him often. That was good but...
The ghost attacks occurred more frequently and more publicly (the ghosts figured fighting him would be easier since everyone knew Danny's former secret) and more victims were usually involved. The GiW constantly trailed him along with the other pathetic ghosts hunters. (see Million Dollar Ghost) The creepy, obssessive fangirls showed up everywhere and they were worst than the increasing number of enemies (cough! Paulina! Cough) because they never ceased to annoy him so. The popularity, the fame, the hunters, the unwanted 'help' from random citizens, stalkers, haters, people pressing him for information on how he became half-dead, invasion of privacy...needless to say the list goes on.
So, with the help of an extremely powerful ghost (clockwork) Danny erased everyone's memory. Of course, the world still remembered that Phantom saved the planet from the evil half-ghost Vlad, but no one remembered that the cocky, famous, teen ghost hunter, and saviour Danny Phantom was actually meek, 'loser' and 'geek' Danny Fenton. (Well everyone except a selected handful of people that he trusted.)
That's when Danielle returned. She'd travelled to the places she wanted to go and, one year after the Disasteroid incident, she returned in hopes of finding a family. After the situation was explained to Danny's parents, they happily accepted her into their family. Maddie managed to handle the paperworks and enroll Dani into school.
Now, at fourteen, Dani was walking behind Danny as he led her into the grand doors of Casper High. "Alright Danielle." Danny spun on his heel and turned to his female clone. "Do you have everything you need? Do you still have the school map? Are you feeling nervous or-"
"Danny!" Danielle cut him off with a small smile. "I know what to do already. Call you if there's any trouble -ghost or human, lay low and don't draw too much attention to myself, try to make trustworthy friends, yadda yadda." She rolled her icy blue eyes in mock annoyance.
"Seriously," Danny glanced down at her with a solemn expression. "If you need anything, call me right away."
Danielle beamed at this. "Danny relax. It's my first day of school. What could possibly go wrong?"
Danny sighed and hung his head muttering, "Great, you just jinxed it."
Danielle cocked her head to the side in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Danny shook his head. "Tell you later. First, we have to get to class." The warning bell of the school rang on queue.
And Danielle finally, finally walked into her new school.
~~~
First period was History. Second period: Algebra. Third period: Physical Science. Third, Art. Fourth, English.
She was hating this schedule so far and Mr. Lancer was both the History, Science and English teacher. That was a bummer, but on the bright side. She made a new friend. A girl who had long blonde hair that was tied up into a high ponytail. The girl wore baggy t-shirts, baggy pants and sneakers. Her name was Luna.
After second period, soon after the two girls grabbed lunch, Luna led Danielle to an empty cafeteria table which Dani instantly recognized. It was the table Danny, Sam and Tucker had sat in the first time she accidentally dumped the tray of food on their faces. (See Kindred Spirits)
Dani fought back a giggle at the memory. "Okay. We're, like, gonna wait here for my best friend." Luna replied with a brilliant smile.
Danielle furrowed her brows. "Who?"
"Me, Jake." The boy named Jake slid in beside her. He had dark, messy hair; sparkling, gray eyes; and smooth, tan skin. He wore a black hoodie, dark jeans and stained sneakers. "I see Luna's made a new friend?"
Danielle smiled. She'd seen him earlier in the halls, but now she had a good view of him and he was definitely cute.
"I'm Danielle." She reached out and shook his extended hand.
"I like your outfit." He commented with a smile. She was wearing her usual hoodie, red shorts, and red and white sneakers. The usual.
Luna smiled and pushed up her glasses. "So Danielle. You're new here. Where'd you move from?"
Danielle opened her mouth then closed it, carefully considering her words. She pondered for a bit then smiled. "Mostly I travelled, kind of. Long story." She replied as she bit into her sandwich. She chewed, swallowed, then answered. "Another question."
"Okay...where do you live?" Jake asked this time.
She smiled, glad she had the answer for that one. "You know that Junior? Danny Fenton?"
Her two new friends turned to look at the older kids section. "He's dating that goth chick, right?" Luna inquired focusing back on Dani.
"Yeah. Well, he's my brother now." Danielle beamed.
"He only has one sister who graduated." Jake pointed out with a slight frown. "What was her name? Jade? Jane? Jess?"
"Jazz." Dani corrected. "Yes, but that's another complicated story. Long story short, the Fentons adopted me but I'm definitely related to Danny by blood." She smiled happily. She was glad to be rid of the jerk who was supposedly her 'father.'
"That would explain the nearly identical resemblance. But..." Luna's voice faded. Her two new friends glanced at her curiously, waiting for an implied explanation.
She sighed and decided to tell them as much as she could without revealing her secret identity. "Well, you see my real 'dad' was-"
She was immediately cut off by a blue wisp that escaped her mouth. She groaned inwardly watching out of the corner of her eyes as Danny quickly exited the cafeteria.
Great. Her first time with friends and she had to leave.
A/N: I know it's short, but I'm just don't feel like finishing the chapter. The original chapter was accidentally deleted. But I'll see if I can update. Please review. I'm desperate for some feedback!
