It had been a long two years since the Disaster-roid incident, where ghost and humans alike started cooperating. Now 18-year-old Daniel James Fenton or as known to his friends and family as Danny, but to the world as Danny Phantom. After his big reveal to the world as Danny Phantom, Danny had become a Public Idol rather than Public Enemy Number One. Danny had grown over the time since then, in the two years, he had grown more muscle but was still lean. He is now taller than his sister by a good foot.

His ghost form had grown along with him, scary enough his ghost form looked similar to Dan Phantom or Dark Dan the alternate evil ghost combination of Plasimus and Phantom. The major difference was that his hair wasn't all aflame, only the tips of his hair were and his ears weren't pointed, his skin wasn't pale blue like Dan's it still was his youthful tan glow. His ghost costume did, however, resemble Dan's, minus the cape. He did add some upgrades to the outfit like some ghost-catching equipment on his forearms and a white belt with his Phantom logo on it. Danny was now an astonishing 6' 3" with the build of a pro baseball player both in human and ghost form.

Over the years, Danny had also discovered new powers he didn't know he had, from ice breath to ecto manipulation and the most powerful of all his new attacks: The Ghost Wave. Once Danny found out about these new powers, he pushed his training even further to use them on a whole new level and it showed whenever he saved someone or something from certain danger.

The ghost wave was more powerful than his ghostly wail, it took almost all his ecto-energy to create and left him immobile for some time. Imagine a burst of energy which combines both of his ice core and ecto energy together and one solid burst of power. Now take it times 100, that's how strong it is.

It, however, wasn't all good, in the first year that Danny had become the Idol he and his girlfriend Samantha Manson, otherwise known as just Sam. They were just starting out as a couple, there were feelings between the two and many hints about there affection towards another. After Danny's secret got out however things started taking a turn for the worst.

Having people come up to you asking for an autograph or picture was fine for a little while, but when the paparazzi started bombarding the young couple everywhere they went and making news about it for months on end without stop. Things started getting out of control and Sam couldn't take much of it anymore. Then when the Phantom Fans or Phans started getting a bit to rowdy and even perverse, almost all hell broke out. Words were said and arguments clashed between the couple to the point of their eventual breakup. The two haven't spoken to each other since.

The Phans were shocked to see their favorite power couple separate, some saw it as a way to get closer to Danny and some saw it as the end of Team Phantom. Danny, on the other hand, was not doing as good as people think he was. Danny was going through the cycles of a breakup, as breaking up does to a young man, but also as losing a long-time friend. He hardly left his room except to eat, bathe, and sometimes patrol the town.

Many of the Phan-girls and strange enough Phan-boys had even gone as far as sneaking into his home late at night and taking pictures of Danny while he slept, but none had succeeded due to homes Anti-Phan security system. After many failed attempts and some complaints to the Mayor from the Fentons, Mayor Foley had declared it a city law that trespassing near Fenton Works would lead to immediate arrest except for the mailman, police and anyone who Danny thought could be trusted like his parents and sister to be near him. So the Phans had eventually backed off but they still sent some ways of affection towards the young hero, some cute as simple letters with their phone number on the bottom, to some very adult material. The number of letters that were sent came by the bag full so it was hard to tell what was supposed to be delivered and what was just Phan mail.

Danny did find it fine at when he received letters from children around the world saying that he was their favorite superhero and asking for him to visit their hometown someday. He even got invited to important gatherings and parties of both formal and leisure. The kind of parties only celebrities got invited to, where he made friends with some famous public faces; movie stars, actors, and even band members. What really got him to go was from the Make a Wish Foundation where many children just wanted to meet him in person and spend the day with him.

Danny couldn't say no to that, it wouldn't be morally right to take a child's wish away from them. He loved seeing their faces when he phased into their rooms, all happy and excited. He would show them some of his ghost powers, did a few tricks with them and even took a few special case kids on a short flight outside the hospital with supervision from the doctors and parents around of course. He would sometimes get handmade gifts from the child he visited, A drawing of him as Phantom or little toys. no matter what it as it always put a smile on his face to see the amount of good influence he has on children. No matter how small or weak the child was, Danny protected and ensured happiness for their spirits.

Speaking of children, there was one child who was always on his mind. That was Dani, the female clone that the EX billionaire and now Ghost Nomad Vlad Plasmius created. Danny started thinking more and more about Dani after the Diasteroid and would sometimes go out looking for her by sending duplicates of himself to search high and low. For the past two years, he had searched and up to now, there was no sign of her anywhere. It was like either she was very good at eluding him or she had disappeared from the face of the earth. Danny had tried asking Clockwork for help, but Clockwork couldn't seeing as it wasn't his place or time to intervene. This only made Danny more worried about Dani and it almost brought him to tears that he couldn't find his little girl.

Yes, little girl. Not little sister nor his first cousin once removed. After the Disaster-roid years ago, Danny had started thinking of Dani as more than just his clone, to Danny she was his daughter. It didn't matter that she was artificially created, she shared his DNA and ENA (Ectoplasmic Nucleic Acid), In a way, he was her creator; no creator didn't fit. No matter what anyone says, Danny is her father, from having nearly identical appearances and ghost powers, there wasn't anything saying otherwise.

After a while, Danny had asked Jazz the question of what was more powerful than a bond between two lovers. Jazz had told him that a parental bond was stronger, but not in all cases. A parent would do anything to make their child happy and protect them.

This made Danny realize that him not being there for Dani was breaking his heart, not knowing if she was eating properly or sleeping or even if she was healthy or not made his heartache and his mind race frantically. What Danny didn't know was that the young ghost girl needed him more than ever.

A few miles from Fenton works, Danny Phantom was patrolling Amity Park from the nighttime skies. Even though there weren't as many ghost attacks as when he was younger, Danny still took patrols. Now his patrols included robberies, grand theft auto, and the time to time convenience store shoplifting. It was nothing he couldn't handle by himself, but lately, he was wishing that someone could help him as the time it took made him exhausted and the sudden calls to action sometimes made him sleep through the day.

"About time to call it a night, there weren't as many problems tonight. Maybe the bad guys are getting smart about not crossing me." Danny said.

Danny spoke too soon as the sound of an explosion went off.

"That sounded like it came from the park. Better go check it out." Danny said as he flew towards the Park.
