《Danny Phantom x Female!Reader》Chapter 52: What Could've Been
Advertisement
"Mr and Mrs Vlad Masters?!" Danny exclaimed as he reads the newspaper clipping. "I knew something bad was going to happen!" I said just as we heard Mr Fenton phase through the roof above us.
"SAY GOODBYE!" He shouts, raising his glowing fist. Danny raises the newspaper clip which made him slow down as he lowers his fist. "Goodbye. Seems like all I do is say goodbye." He said as he takes the paper out of Danny's hand.
Dad...uh, I mean Jack...please tell us what happened. We would like to hear you blather on about the glory days." Danny said and I nod in ageement. "Well, my cat Jasmine won't listen anymore." Mr Fenton said. "It all started twenty years ago...." Then he explained how the blast hit him since Vlad pushed Mrs Fenton out of the way. "I may have lost Maddie that day but I gained ghost powers and twenty seven pounds! But after that I tried to find my place in the world. First as a ghost fighting superhero! But that didn't work out, but then again I shouldn't have debut on Halloween. Eventually, I moved here to continue my research on ghosts. But no mattered how hard I tried, I couldn't get rid of my ghost half. The half I knew Maddie would never be able to accept." He finished and I couldn't help but feel sorry and responsible for this.
"Oh, man. We're so sorry." I said, apologetically.
"This is all our fault!" Danny said, dejectedly.
"What are you blathering about?" Mr Fenton asked.
Danny reaches onto his pocket and pulls out his wallet. He flips it open and showed him the picture of him, Mr and Mrs Fenton and Jazz. Mr Fenton takes the picture and gasps at this. "W-what is this?" Mr Fenton asked, confused.
"Vlad wasn't supposed to marry Maddie, you were!" Danny said.
"We went back in time to change one little moment in the past and messed up everything!" I said.
We look up and see Mr Fenton's fist shaking and his teeth were bared. "But we can fix this! We swear! We just need a working portal to--"
"MORE LIES!" Mr Fenton shouted and he makes duplicates of himself and they beat us up until we flew out of the building and smacked into a billboard building. I groaned as I get up while I felt Danny helping me up.
"I'm so sorry you're in the middle of this, (y/n)." Danny said, looking worried.
"Its okay, Danny. We just need to get to the Ghost Zone and find Clockwork." I replied until we heard a noise. We turned and saw Mr Fenton flying towards us but we turn intangible. Mr Fenton looks around for a moment then flies away. "And if your dad doesn't have a portal then we need to find your mom and hope that she does." I said as we turn tangible. "I agree. Next stop, Wisconsin." He said and the two of us fly away and make the long journey to Wisconsin.
It was daybreak, when we finally make it to Vlad's house. We turn human as we land. Danny takes my hand as we walk up to the door and knock. Vlad and Mrs Fenton, or should I say Maddie, answers the door and instead of being in a jumpsuit, Maddie was was wearing a checkered purple skirt and a purple button up blouse while Vlad was wearing a blue polo shirt, black pants and he had a red sweater tied around his shoulder.

We stared at them as Vlad said. "How many times do I have to tell you...NO. FREE. CHEESE. SAMPLES!" I collapse from exhaustion as Danny said. "Mom!" And he falls to his knees as well. "Mom?" Vlad and Maddie said in unison.
Later, Danny and I were sitting in their kitchen eating a lot of cheese. "We should call your parents. They must be worried sick!" Maddie exclaimed. "Our parents are sort've missing....there was an accident..." Danny started to explain when both Vlad's and Maddie eyes widen. "Oh, I am so sorry, you two." Vlad said.
"Is there anything we can do to help? Do you two need a place to stay?" Maddie asked us.
Vlad sighs with admiration at Maddie and takes her hand in his and said. "Your kindness knows no bounds, my love." Then he starts to kiss her. Danny begins to make a scramble of noises as he runs up to them and blocks Vlad's face from Maddie's while I just sit there and gag.
"Listen, this might sound like a strange question, but do you guys have a ghost portal, by any chance?" He asked them. Maddie begins to laugh and say. "Oh, why would we have a silly thing like a ghost portal?" But I noticed that she looked nervous.
"Yes, I'm a simple dairy man, successor to the Wisconsin Dairy King. WE DO NOT DISCUSS GHOST IN THIS HOUSE!" Vlad shouted as I look over at the closet a d see a familiar device.
"Then why do you have an ecto-foamer?" I asked him.
Vlad looks over at Maddie and asked. "What is the meaning of this?"
"Um, that's my...carpet foamer. It eliminates stains not ghosts, right sweetie?" Maddie said as she hates her eyes at Vlad. He smiles down at her and said. "Maddie, can you forgive me for doubting you?" Maddie smiles at him and the two begin to kiss. "I thought our real parents were embarrassing." I said as I close my eyes and cover my face. "Yeah, this is soooo much worse!" Danny replied.
That night, we go ghost and go down into the basement and search around for a portal but there was nothing. "Something's wrong here." I remarked as we stand in the middle of the small lab. "Even if mom was crazy enough to marry Vlad, there's no way she would give up ghost hunting to become a milk maid." Danny said but then his eyes widen at this. "I think I have an idea." He said to me and he takes my hand and we phase through the floor and see that there was another lab underneath.
"I knew it!" Danny exclaimed as we float down to the ground. "Now all we need is...." But before he could stop I looked to the side and saw what we needed. I tapped his shoulder and pointed at it. "Ha, yes! A portal!" He exclaims.
"We can get back to Clockwork and...." But before he could finish we heard a crash and we turned to see Maddie standing behind us in her usual blue jumpsuit and with the Fenton Weasel.
"Eat Maddie Weasel, ghosts!" She exclaims and she turns it on sucking us in to the sevice.
I groan as I come to and slowly open my eyes. "Oh, good! You two are awake." Maddie said. I looked around and saw that my arms and legs were spread and strapped down to the table I was on and a giant laser gun was aimed at me. I looked to my right and I see Danny tied up with an ecto rope and a chair. "I have some questions for you two." Maddie said as i heard the laser gun charge up.

Maddie walks over to one side of the table and pulls out the tip of the laser gun and moves it closer to me as she looks over at Danny, who looked freaked out right now. "Now let's start with: who are you two? And why were you two snooping around my lab?" She asked.
"Wait! What are you doing?" Danny asked her as he struggles against his restraints. Maddie pushes a button and a laser hits the table and the trail begins to head to my arm. I let out a yelp as Danny screams. "Stop! Please, don't hurt her!"
"Oh, scream all you want, ghosts. This lab is totally sound-proof. It has to be or my husband would find out about it. Now I ask you again, ghost boy, who are you?!" Maddie asked as she raises the laser gun to my head. I felt sweat running down my face as Danny looks at me with fear then said. "I'm....your son." Maddie let's out a surprise gasp at this as he continues. "Yours and Jack Fenton's."
"Liar! I haven't seen Jack Fenton in years! He blamed me for the accident that gave him his powers! Vlad told me so. We ran away and hid here to escape his ghostly wrath!" She replied.
"What? That's insane!" I exclaimed.
"Yeah he's still totally in love with you!" Danny shouted at her.
"Its true, Maddie! It's always been true." A voice said. We looked up and saw Mr Fenton phasing through the roof. "Jack! But...Vlad told me you never wanted to see me again." Maddie said and I could tell that she was deeply hurt.
"I never wanted to stop seeing you, Maddie. I just couldn't face you as a thing you despise, a ghost. But I had to come because of this!" Mr Fenton said as he turns human and holds up Danny's wallet with the picture. He hands it to Maddie. "A family? With you?" She asked as a tear streams down her face and I couldn't help but smile at this. "Oh, Jack!" Maddie exclaimed as she hugs him.
"And that's why you called me mom at the door! You must be out son from an alternate timeline!" Maddie exclaimed as she turns to Danny then unties the rope arpund him then mother, father and son get together in a group hug.
Then Maddie turns to me then pushes a button to set me free. "And who are you to him?" She asked pointing at Danny. "I'm his girlfriend." I said as I smile over at Danny, who blushes at this. "Way to pick them, son!" Mr Fenton said, as he slaps the back of Danny's shoulder. I smile even wider at this as Danny walks over to me and hugs. "So, where's our alternate timeline daughter, Devy?" Mr Fenton asked Danny, holding up the picture.
"It's Danny." Danny corrected.
"That's still dumb." Mr Fenton replied and I snigger at this.
"And...heh, heh....it's alittle complicated" Danny said.
"Hmmm, Clockwork, right?" Maddie asked us as she types on her computer until an image of Clockwork appears on screen. "Wow! You're good!" I complimented her. "You don't think I spend my nights making new cheese recipes, do you?" Maddie asked me as she walks over to the portal and opens the door. "Oh, Maddie, just think! In another universe we have two kids to embarrass!" Mr Fenton said, happily. Danny and I smile at this as he takes my hand and the two of us begin to walk to the portal.
"Let's focus on what you're doing in this universe, shall we?" Vlad's voice said behind us. We turned and saw him holding up the ecto-foamer in his hands. "I knew this wasn't a carpet foamer, you've been experimenting again!" He shouted at Maddie. "Vlad, it's not what you think!" Maddie pleads.
"No, Maddie, it's exactly what he thinks! You and I are destined to be together and nothing will keep us apart any longer!" Mr Fenton said as he goes ghost. "Nothing except this!" Vlad said as he shoots some foamer at him.
"Leave him alone!" Danny and I shouted as we charge at Vlad. We throw some ecto-beams at him but he ducks and fires some foamer at us but we dodge those as well.
But one of the foamers hit Maddie and she slams into a keyboard. "Sorry, sweetheart, my bad." Vlad said in an insincere voice. "Mom!" Dsnny shouted and he throws more ecto-beams at Vlad. "Don't you ever call her that again!" Vlad shouted and he shoots a foamer at Danny which hits him and he lands on to the table and the restraints wrap around his wrists and his ankles.
"You have overstayed your welcome. Now you are going have to leave, molecule by molecule!" Vlad said and he turns on the laser gun. "Wait! Stop!" Danny shouts as a laser shoots out and hits the table as it slowly goes towards Danny. I throw an ecto-beam at Vlad, which makes him fly across the room.
"Leave him alone!" I shouted as I turn off the laser and fire more ecto-beams at Vlad but then he picks up the ecto-foamer and shoots at me, causing me to fall to the floor covered in the foam. Vlad smiles at this as he walks back to the table. "Say goodbye to your precious boyfriend!" Vlad said as he turns the laser back on.
"You don't understand! None of this should be happening!" Danny shouted.
"You think I care? I LIKE IT THIS WAY!" Vlad shouted but then Mr Fenton comes in and shoves him away.
"Get away from my son!" He shouted and I smile at this as Mr Fenton turns off the laser but Vlad gets back up and shoves Mr Fenton away then grabs the laser gun and shoots at Mr Fenton.
Mr Fenton summons a shield but it wasn't enough to stop the laser as it hits him and he slams into the portal and turns human. Maddie walks over to him as he groans. "Jack!" Maddie shouted as she walks over to him. "It's alright, Maddie. Just...remember...what...could've been." Mr Fenton said and he drew in his last breathe and dies. I gasped as Danny screamed. "No!"
Maddie turns to face Vlad and said, angrily. "You despicable, lying, piece of cheese!" Piece of cheese? Really? I thought as she stands up to face Vlad. "I wasted the best years of my life with you!" She shouted.
"Now, Maddie! I might be a lying piece of cheese, but I'm still your husband." He said but Maddie grabs the collar of his shirt and lifts him up.
"Consider this an annulment!" She shouted and threw him through the portal, no telling what horrors he's going through since he doesn't have his powers.
Maddie runs over to me and brushes off the foam, setting me free. Then the both of us go over to Danny and free him as the portal alarm goes off. "Quick! The portal's overloading! Go back in time and make sure this never happens! Clockwork will help!" She said as Danny grabs my hand and the two of us fly through the portal.
"I will not help!" Clockwork said, firmly.
"But Sam and Tucker!" We said to him.
"Need to be cured in the present, not the past. I can re-set time back to the way it was before you two meddled, but that's it!" He replied as he shows us, on his screen, the moment before Vlad gets his powers.
"Jack, did you remember to fill the ecto-filter with the ecto-purifier?" Maddie asked Mr Fenton.
"On it, baby!" Mr Fenton said and we saw him take the diet soda and poured it into the filtrator. "That's it." I muttered and I looked at Danny and both of us smile. "That's it!!" We exclaimed and we head back home.
We walk into the lab and saw our parents and Jazz still working on Vlad, Sam and Tucker. We walked in and Mrs Fenton gasped. "Put on your protective gear, you two!" She said. "You two don't want to catch ecto-acne!" Mom said to us. "Yeah, about that....those ecto-impureties you couldn't find, would they be consistent with...oh say...a diet cola?" Danny asked her.
Mom and Mrs Fenton chuckle at this. "Oh don't be silly, why would...." Mrs Fenton started to say until my mom picked up the papers and read through them. "Uh, Maddie?" She said and she hands the paper to her. Mrs Fenton looks through it and said. "Oh my!"
After whipping up an antidote, Mrs Fenton, Danny and I feed it to Vlad, Sam and Tucker and moments later the acne disappeared. "Vladdie! You're cured!" Mr Fenton exclaimed, happily.
"That's great, Jack! Now will you stop pounding on my chest!" Vlad said as Mr Fenton pounds his fist against his chest.
Mr Fenton stops and said. "Sorry. Diet soda?"
"Danny, how did you know?" Mrs Fenton asked him, happily.
"Yeah, that was very impressive!" Dad said to him with a smile.
"There had to be some benefits to being the some of the two smartest ghost hunters on the planet!" Danny replied. The Fenton's smiled at this while my mom awed at this moment. I smile at Danny kiss his cheek.
After a few moments, our parents leave the room and Vlad glares at us. "I knew you two would come through! All it took was the proper motivation." He said as he glares over at Sam and Tucker. "Of course I'm still weak beyond measure, so....bygones?" Vlad asked. I looked up at Danny and saw he had a mischievous smile on his lips and I smile with him.
Next thing I knew, both Danny and I beat up Vlad in our ghost form, making him fly away from us. "Bygones." We said in unison while Tucker and Sam smiled.
That night at the Material Grill, Mr and Mrs Fenton and my parents were dressed in their 80's clothes and were dancing on the dance floor. "We finally got out 80's night out!" Mom exclaimed.
"You know it's too bad Vladdie had to fly back to Wisconsin so suddenly. He would've love this! Right you two?" Mr Fenton said to us as Danny and I jumped onto the dance floor.
Danny was wearing jeans, a black shirt, a purple tie that was loose around his neck and a white over shirt with the collar popped up.
I was wearing neon pink leggings, purple leg warmers, blue jean short-shorts, a huge pink sweater with one side of it hanging off my left shoulder, black and white converse, dark pink fingerless gloves and a light pink bow in my hair, which my hair was done up in the 80's style, big hair with alot of hairspray.
"Gnarly!" Danny exclaimed.
"Tubular!" I said and Danny and I started to moonwalk.
"If anyone asks, I was adopted!" Jazz exclaimed as she watches us.
"Let's just say, I've come to terms with mom and dad's past. I wouldn't change it again, even if I could!" Danny replied as he spins around then he takes my hand and the two of us begin to dance the night away with our parents and, to be honest, I didn't care that Mikey recordeded us as we danced to 80's music. I was just having the time of my life with my parents, my boyfriend and his parents.

The Silver Mana - Book 1: Initiate
I used to be a healthy, young guy with a normal life - I had a career planned in professional soccer, a girlfriend, lots of hobbies, and loads of fun. Until the accident. Which changed my life. A few years later I had adjusted to my new reality, adjusted to being in a wheelchair, adjusted to having someone take care of me 24/7. And then the world changed. Old people and kids did not make it. And neither was I supposed to make it. But never count me out. If anything, I am tenacious. This new world was different. People could do magic. And there were monsters. And what about me? I had mana as well, silver mana. Which no one else seemed to have. The only problem was, I did not know what to do with it. Until I really needed to. Author's note: This is the rewrite of Silver Mana. The first bunch of chapters (until I will have caught up to level 2 of the dungeon) should be quite familiar to people that have read the original. There are some changes in content, but the story follows the original fairly closely for at least the first 150-200 pages. Most of the changes are in the writing, and some of the details of how things work. A few of the side characters get a bit more attention too. Some general comments to avoid disappointment: 1. The MC likes to swear. If you object to reading the word "fuck" at least once and usually multiple times each chapter don't read the book. "Fuck" is such a great, allencompassing word... fuck that; what the fuck?; fuck me! Fuck! one word, expressing so many nuances. And, frankly, the people I know that use fuck as a swear word.. they often use it a lot. 2. If you are looking for immediate progression, rapid advancement of the story, etc.... read another book. This one takes a bit. 3. I am NOT Pirateaba (who is writing The Wandering Inn) or anyone close to that level of productivity. If you expect to read 10k words every 3 days, or even just once a week... sorry. I've got a busy life. This is for fun, I have no patreon, paypal, anything, so I write when it is fun and however much is fun. Not more. And sometimes that turns out to be a decent amount, sometimes nothing. I have another book (Marrow) so that complicated things - basically I switch between the two whenever the muse strikes me.
