Danny followed his cousins. He didn't call them clones anymore. That'd be like calling your cat 'pet'. It was weird. He smiled at Dani, who was piggyback riding on Damien.

"Forwards!!!" She stuck a fist out.

Valerie walked next to Danny. "That isn't what really happened right?"

Danny turned to her. "Huh?"

"You didn't tell the whole story. Besides, I don't know these clones. Only Danielle. Did Vlad make others after I left?"

Danny sighed and shook his head. He glanced back to make sure they were at a safe distance and whispered: "No. They were made before Dani. I don't know the order ok. I fought them first and yes they were 'mindless'" he made quotation marks.

"So why aren't they 'mindless' anymore," Valerie mimicked him.

"Long story short. I dissolved them into ectoplasm while we fought. Dani convinced me to gather each clone's ectoplasm. Thankfully it wasn't cleaned or anything yet. We had them in separate containers but didn't know what to do with them. Dani started destabilizing and you were sent to kidnap her, which you did. So all that crap happened and after that we realized we could use the Ecto-dejecto on them but it wasn't enough and I gave them a sample of my blood and slowly they got better and took up a form. They actually look more human now. But they're still unstable so we keep giving them Ecto-Dejecto every month or so..."

Valerie blinked at the story. "If that was the short version I don't want to hear the full story. Wait. You gave them blood?"

Danny scrunched his nose. "Yeah."

"Do you still do it along with the Ecto-Dejecto?!"

"Sometimes."

"How?"

Danny grinned with black humour. "I swear if my scars didn't heal as fast as they do, you'd think I was cutting myself."

Valerie grabbed his arm and rolled up his hoody in a panic. Soft skin met her gaze. She whisperyelled. "You cut yourself?!"

Danny snatched his arm back. "Relax. I have blood to spare. Besides, most of the times they used a needle. It's like donating blood. But sometimes we wouldn't have needles and you know...we're pretty good at improvising."

Valerie's eyes widened. Then she remembered he had super healing. But still....

Leroy appeared next to Danny and looked at him. He growled shortly and Danny smiled. "Sure." He flew on and sat himself down on the monster's back.

Dani noticed from where she was sitting on Damien's shoulders. Her eyes sparkled and she jumped off and made her way to her cousin. Damien yelped when she suddenly got off. "Hey where are you- Danny....don't tell me you got another pet."

The halfa leaned forward, smirking. "Fine, I won't."

Maddie frowned as Dani climbed on behind Danny. "Another one? Danny how many ghostly pets do you have."

Leroy growled at the struggling girl but Danny patted his head. "It's ok boy. She's a friend. Can you lower a bit to let the dwarf on?"

Dani yelped indignantly but scrambled on when Leroy obeyed. "He's protective. Mmh. I wanna see how he takes the idea of you having another pet."

Danny playfully punched her shoulder. "You and I both know Cujo is more your pet now than mine."

"That's because you neglect him while I," she proudly stated the word. "take good care of him."

David laughed. "You take good are of him!?!"

Damien joined in. "That's rich. We all know who the real caretaker. And that's David."

The boy grinned. Or at least the humans thought he did. He was mostly skeleton after all.

Danny rolled his eyes. "You're lucky he likes you. Or actually, no. I'd be careful if I were you. After all, he's a dog. And you're bones and meat..."

David crossed his arms. "He would never do that."

"Where is he anyways." Danny realized they were close to their 'hideout'. He had to admit. It was pretty well hidden. To be precise. It was a hole in the ground. He jumped off Leroy and peered down quizzically. "You live in here? Is it safe?"

Dani laid her small body across the space Danny had evacuated, making herself comfortable. She shrugged. "It has been for three days. I'd be careful if I were you. We left a dangerous animal to guard it."

Leroy growled from under her.

Jack grabbed a gun. "What is it?!"

"Danny get back here!" Maddie said.

But it was too late. A huge being jumped out of the hole and pushed Danny to the ground.

Maddie and Jack charged. Jack kicked the ghost off Danny and shot. The ghost got hit but wasn't very harmed. It growled at them dangerously. Leroy was showing his teeth at the other ghost too.

"Whoa no wait!!!" Danny scrambled up. Tucker and Sam tried to stop the parents too. "He's friendly."

Valerie gaped openmouthed. "HE IS FRIENDLY??!"

Danny winced but went intangible. He went through his parents and stretched his arms out to them. "He's good. Cujo won't harm us." He glanced at Valerie, who was itching to touch her bracelet and beat the ghost to a pulp.

Maddie scowled. "Danny please don't tell me this is the other 'pet' you mentioned."

The boy bit his lip but swirled around when he heard growling.

He found Leroy and Cujo engrossed in a glaring match. Cujo bristled and Leroy crouched. Dani panted as she held onto Leroy's fur. Danny's eyes widened and he jumped forward and landed in between the ghosts.

The two ghosts pounced, ready tear each other's throats out. But Danny made a shield on both sides making them crash against it. "Stop it!! Stand down boy."

The humans gasped at this show of power. Sure they knew he was a halfa but green ectoenergy?

Leroy growled softly and Cujo whined. Danny glared at each in turn. "No. You will not attack each other. Understood?!"

They stopped and Leroy straightened. Cujo's fur lay flat again.

Dani sighed in relief and slackened her death grip on the fur. "Well that was something. Should have seen it coming though."

David attempted to calm Cujo down. He stroked his fur.

Danny made sure Leroy wasn't about to do anything rash and turned to Cujo with a grin. "Hey boy. How ya been. Come here." He patted his legs with his palms and Cujo stuck his tongue out.

The ghost bounded forward and everyone thought he would knock Danny over again but to their surprise, the dog shrinked.

A small puppy was what jumped against the boy's legs. It yipped and stuck it's paws up and pushed at his legs.

Danny petted and greeted him.

The tension in the air changed and disappeared so fast it left the teenagers confused. Then a few came out of their stupor.

"Wait is it like Amorpho?!" Kim questioned.

David shook his head. Then he stopped to think and nodded. "No...yes. Well kind of. He can only turn from puppy to big bulldog. Depends on his mood. He's mostly a puppy with Danny though." He stomped his foot. "Which I don't get. How did you get so attached. You barely even visited lately."

Damien nodded amused. "We had to stop him a few times from going back to the Human Zone."

Danny laughed as Cujo licked his hands. "Sorry. I was kinda busy."

Leroy pulled his lips to show teeth as he glared at the small dog. Leroy didn't like this ghost. It was taking his master's attention. Leroy didn't like it one bit.

Danny stopped as Cujo glared back. He sighed. "Now don't start this again, or I'm not petting you anymore."

Both animals stopped.

"Daniel."

Danny flinched when his mom said his full name. This isn't good. "Yeah?"

"Since when do you have a dog. Let alone a ghost, as a pet."

Danny picked Cujo up. "He uhhh, just showed up and wouldn't leave me alone. So we kinda grew into each other."

Valerie came in between them.
"Alright you know what? I wanna see your hobbit hole so if you can just let us in..."

Dani brightened and jumped off. "Sure. Follow me." She strutted in with David behind her. "I'm not sure the house can take all the people."

Damien grinned. "Hey man. If it can take us and that slime of fur you call a dog, it can take an army."

Dorian flew around Damien's head. They couldn't hear what he was saying but it probably wasn't pretty.

Andrew sulked behind. "I really have to keep that Gobber, or whatever he called that translator, around."

Sheldon nudged him. "Andrew," he whispered.

Andrew muttered under his breath. "Not now, Sheldon. I'm trying to figure out something."

Sheldon huffed. "Could it be something about Danny's secret?"

The blond stopped. He looked at the brownhaired unblinking. "Why. You know something."

"I...have a theory." Sheldon was unsure. "So remember when at that ghost hunter's island I was the lookout while you guys tried to open the box?"

"When that scream happened."

"Yeah. So I went to look and saw Invisobill trying to break the glass box he was in."

Andrew's eyes widened. "You saw him? And he used his strong voice to break the glass and cages."

Sheldon nodded and smiled as Andrew caught on. "Yeah but when you guys came to get me, I saw Fenton on the same spot Invisobill stood in before."

Andrew looked away, lost in thought. "He calls himself Danny Phantom. Danny Fenton...It's almost hilarious."

Sheldon put up his hands. "Whoa there. But don't go jumping to conclusions ok? It isn't certain and we don't even have proof."

Andrew narrowed his eyes. "But too many coincidences are proof enough for me. Think about it, Sheldon. He's a halfa. They look the same. The green energy. The frost power. The fact that he was seen on the same exact spot where Phantom stood in just seconds before! And the fact that their names are a word game!! A joke!!!"

Sheldon shushed him, hoping no one heard his friend's rant. He could get excited when he thought he neared a breakthrough.

"Do you know what this means?" Sheldon asked the other. "Danny is a real life superhero!!"

Andrew frowned at him disapprovingly. "All you care about are your comic books. You realize his parents hate Invisobill right?"

Sheldon paused. "So we're not gonna tell them?"

"I didn't say that."

Sheldon ran after the retreating boy. "Wait. We can't just tell them. You just said-"

Sam stood before them with arms crossed. "Where do you think you're going."

Yo.
Sam to the rescue.
