Chapter Thirteen: Back to Abnormal

Our heroes made their way back through the rubble that used to be New York City. They made their way back to the area where the United Nations stood to find Desiree so she could fix this mess. When they got there they knew they had on heck of a search to find her on their hands.

The area was a complete mess, rubble and pieces of building were everywhere. In fact the bench were FSam had told Desiree to sit was now just a crater in the ground.

"This places is a mess, we'll never find her." said Alicia.

"Oh yes we will, now start digging." said Danny as he moved a large piece of rubble

They eventually found her fifty feet away from where she had started. Aside from a few bruises and cuts she was ok, but that was not the weird part. When they found her she was still in a sitting position, just like when she was sitting on the bench. The only difference was that she was now on her head.

"Well now I've seen everything." said FDanny.

Desiree quickly noticed our heroes around her and realized the battle was over. Glad it was Danny and friends who found her, though she would not say it out loud, and not Dan, she took the ear plugs out and righted herself. She stood up and took the ear plugs out of her ears.

"So I take it the battle is over and you won." said Desiree.

"Yes." said Danny.

"And now you want me to repair most the damage that has been done, and make people remember enough so they blame Dan for the whole invasion thing?" said Desiree.

"Yes, that pretty much sums up what I was going to say." said Danny.

"Hey, I was just wondering, what happened to Johnny 13 and Kitty?" said Jazz.

"I don't know, we sort of lost track of them in battle." said Jack.

"We're over here!" shouted Kitty carrying an injured Johnny.

"What happened?" said Tucker.

"We were driven away from the group by some of Technus's robots, they attacked us and Johnny got hurt fighting them off." said Kitty.

"I wouldn't let any lousy robots hurt my girl." said Johnny.

"I know Johnny, I know." said Kitty.

"Well now that the gangs all here do you want me to grant that wish?" said Desiree.

"Yeah, and bring Vlad with us, I lost track of him and he has some explaining to do." said Danny.

"So you have wished it, so shall it be." said Desiree.

With this a wave of magic swept over the Earth. As it passed all the major damage and most of the minor damage was repaired. Also it left the memory of Dan invasion, but only Dan and nobody else, and the memory of the brave people who fought him off and saved the world, Jack and Maddie Fenton, their kids and friends, and the mysterious Danny Phantom.

Our heroes reappeared in Amity Park, right in front of the Fenton works.

"I never thought I would be so happy to that neon sign." said Jazz.

"Yeah, everything is back to normal, but where is Vlad?" said Danny.

"He's trying to sneak away over there." said Sam, pointing to the retreating Vlad.

Quickly before he could get away Sam captured Vlad in a magic bubble and brought him over. Vlad soon found himself faces to face with a large group of angry ghost fighters.

"Uh, you wanted something?" said Vlad nervously.

"Yeah, we still remember it was you that started this mess in the first place, know what that means?" said Valerie.

Vlad shook his head no.

"It means were going to kick your lousy, no-good, cat needing butt." said Danny.

Just as they were about to attack and reap rightful revenge on Vlad Alicia spoke up.

"Wait, I have a better idea, instead of hurting his body, why don't we hurt him where it will do the most damage, in his wallet." said Alicia.

"What do you mean? Why would we need Vlad's money?" said Alex.

"Well, I sort of made a promise to Ember if she would help us…" said Alicia.

"What did you promise her?" said Danny, tapping his foot on the ground.

"I sort of promised that if she stopped fighting us and would be good we would help her with her music carrier." said Alicia.

"How are we going to do that?" said Valerie.

"Well that's where Vlad comes in, we promise to not beat him up in exchange for a little donation to the "I want to live to see my next birthday" fund. That will solve everything." said Alicia.

"I agree! I agree! How much do you want!" shouted Vlad.

"Well I would say about $100 million should do it." said Ember.

"Done! Now please let me go." said Vlad.

"Not so fast, Tucker if you would do the honors." said Danny.

"With pleasure." Said Tucker as he transferred the money from Vlad to an account he set up.

"Ahhh! My wallet!" screamed Vlad, grabbing his side in pain.

"Wow, Alicia was right, it did hurt him." said Sam.

"You're free to go Vlad." said Danny.

"You will pay for this someday Daniel, you will pay." Said Vlad as he flew off, suddenly a laser hit him in the back of his pants, sending him screaming away.

"Sorry, my finger slipped." said Tucker.

As this was going on back in the control room TechnoRob was about to tell Ember some good news.

"Hey Ember, I have some good news, now that everything has calmed down I can send a replacement teleporter tracker to Rob, we can bring him home." said TechnoRob.

"What? That's wonderful! Send it to him immediately." said Ember.

TechnoRob sent the tracker to Rob and it appeared in his hand. He looked down and immediately recognized it and he knew he could go home now, but there was one thing he had to do first.

"Yay! I have the money to live my dream." said Ember.

"I don't know, I still don't trust you to be loose in the world." said Danny.

"Oh come on! I promise I won't do anything." said Ember.

"Maybe if there was someone to keep an eye on her, that would solve the problem." said Jazz.

"I'll do it." said Rob.

"Really? You don't mind?" said Danny.

"Yeah, it's no big deal." said Rob.

"But aren't you in college or something?" said Valerie.

"Yeah, but I don't think taking some time off would hurt. My dad joined a rock band when he was my age and took five years off of college, it sort of runs in the family." said Rob.

"Thank you! Now I cane stay in the real world." said Ember as she hugged Rob.

"Your welcome, but if you don't mind I would like to check up on my family first, I want to see if they're ok." said Rob.

"Sure, just hurry back." said Ember.

"I will." said Rob as he teleported away.

Moments later he was back in the control room.

"Rob! Your back!" shouted Ember as she ran up to hug him.

"Yeah, it's so great to be back." said Rob.

"I was so worried about you." said Ember, then she hit him on the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" said Rob as he rubbed the lump on his head.

"That was for making me worry so much, you could have been killed! I Never want you to do something this crazy ever again." said Ember.

"Well I have a way to fix that and keep my promise to story Ember." said Rob as he ran over to the control panel.

"How are you going to do that?" said Ember.

"You'll see, hey TechnoRob, I have a new character for you to create." said Rob.

"Really? What is his name?" said TechnoRob.

"His name is Rob Phantom." said Rob.

"But that is your name." said TechnoRob.

"Exactly, I want to create a character who is exactly like me, so I never have to worry Ember like this again, and I can keep my promise to story Ember." said Rob.

"Really Rob, do you mean it?" said Ember.

"Yes I do, I never want you to have to worry about me, and this is the way to do it." said Rob.

"Oh Rob, thank you!" said Ember as she kissed him.

"I like this homecoming better, now create that character TechnoRob." said Rob.

"Right away." said TechnoRob.

Soon the new character was complete and teleported right to the place where Rob had been standing before.

"So, is your family ok?" said Danny.

"Yeah, their fine, I told my dad what I am going to be doing and he's ok with it." said Rob but not really Rob.

"So now that that is settled, what do we do with the future versions of ourselves?" said Tucker, who pointed over to where they were playing go fish.

I have the answer, if they simple remove the time medallions they will return to the future." said Clockwork.

"But won't they be destroyed?" said Danny.

"No, they will still exist, but in a better future then the one they came from." said Clockwork.

"Well I guess this is good bye." said Danny.

"I guess so, but it was fun while it lasted, and you did a great job kid. You did what I couldn't do, you saved Sam and the world." said FDanny.

"I guess now there is a Sam in your future that is probably waiting for you." said Sam.

"Yeah, I guess I better get back to her." said FDanny.

"Well past me, it's been fun." said FRob.

"Yeah, if you can call almost being destroyed fun." said Rob.

"Hey past me, keep an eye on this guy, he'll really grow on you." said FEmber.

"Uh, yeah, I'll do that." said Ember, blushing a little.

"Be careful you two, I have a felling Danny may need your help in the future." said FValerie.

"We will." said Valerie.

"Well it was fun, but I would have preferred to meet you when the world wasn't going to be destroyed." said Tucker.

"Ditto." said FTucker.

"Ok, I think it is time your future selves went back to their own time." said Clockwork.

With one last goodbye the future Danny and friends took off their time medallions and were sent back to the future.

"Well that is the end of that, now that this is over I have a timeline to get back to watching." said Clockwork as he disappeared.

"I'm going home too, I have had enough craziness to last a millennium." said Desiree as she went back to the Ghost Zone.

"Well finally everything is back to normal, but what ever happened to our families?" said Sam.

"Oh my god! We completely forgot about them, I hope they are all right." said Alicia.

"We're more then all right, we're proud of you." said Sarah, Alicia's mom, as they came out of the shelter in their basement.

"Mom! Dad! Ben! Your all ok!" shouted Alicia as she ran over and they had a family hug.

"We just heard the president mention you and your friends helping to save the world from ghosts on TV." said Robert.

"What? We're on TV?" said Alicia.

"Yes, they just were talking about it now." said Ben.

"Sammykins!" shouted Sam's mom as she and Mr. Manson came out of the shelter.

"Mom! Dad! Your alive!" said Sam as she ran over to her parents.

"Oh Sammykins, we were so worried, are you ok? Those mean ghosts didn't hurt you did they?" said Mrs. Manson.

"No, the Fentons kept me safe from them." said Sam.

"Jack, Maddie, I just want to say thank you for keeping our daughter safe during this whole ghost invasion of the world thing." said Mr. Manson.

"Your welcome, in fact she was a big help in defeating those ghosts, your daughter is a hero." said Maddie.

"It was nothing anyone else wouldn't have done in my place." said Sam.

"Tucker sweetie, your ok!" came a shout from Tucker's mom and she and his Dad came out of the shelter.

"Mom! Dad!" said Tucker as he ran over.

"Oh I'm so proud of my little sweetie pie." said Mrs. Foley.

"Mom! Your embarrassing me!" said Tucker.

"Can't a mother be proud of her son?" said Mrs. Foley.

Tucker sighed and let his mom continue being embarrassing, his friends barely able to contain the laughter they felt building up inside them.

"Well I think it is time we all went home, come on Valerie, you and your friends have school tomorrow, ghost invasion or not." said Valerie's Dad.

"It figures Desiree would put back the school along with everything else." said Danny as he and the others moaned at the idea of school.

They all then went home to rest after such a long battle. (AN: Hey, to welcome me back I decided to pull the hurt Vlad lever not once, not twice, but three times, it also makes up for the fact I did not use it this whole story. Author pulls the hurt Vlad lever three times.)

Meanwhile in Wisconsin

"Fright Knight, who have some explaining to do, why did you join Dan Phantom?" said Vlad, tapping his foot and looking very angry.

"Well, you see Lord Plasmius, its like this…" said the Fright Knight as he tried to explain his way out of the mess he was in.

"God, does he really believe I will believe his lies, I'm still going to punish him. Well at least the castle is still standing." thought Vlad. (AN: it won't be for long. Mwhahaha)

Suddenly Vlad could hear a whistling sound coming from above him. He looked up to see a meteor hurtling right towards his castle. It hit the castle, totally destroying it.

"What the hell…" was all Vlad could say before a giant glob of goop fell on his head, ruining his clothing.

"What in the Ghost Zones name is…going…on…here?" this time Vlad was cut off as the Fluffy Army of Doom, made of ghost weasels and cats, suddenly appeared around him.

"Oh crap." said Vlad as the cuddly army of chaos attacked with the terror only a few (I.E. Vlad) have ever known.

"Ahhhh! Get them off of me! Fright Knight, help me!" screamed Vlad as he ran for his life, all thoughts of punishing the Fright Knight gone from his head.

"God bless you Rob Phantom." thought the Fright Knight as he chased after Vlad to rescue him.

Two Weeks Later

It was two weeks later and everything was getting back to normal. The people had repaired most of the damage that had been left behind after Danny's wish. The Fentons and Danny's friends had been honored with every award the people of the Earth could give. It was still hectic with all the reporters coming to interview Jack and Maddie.

The inevitable question did arise about why Dan Phantom had the same emblem as Danny Phantom. They had come up with the cover story that Dan was Danny's evil father, and they passed it off as sort of a Darth Vader vs. Luke Skywalker kind of thing. This however led to a million Star Wars themed questions, like does Danny Phantom have a light saber, or does he use the force, they had quickly gotten the interview off of that topic. (AN: I don't own Star Wars, George Lucas does)

The world had finally decided to take the threat of ghost attack seriously, and the Fenton's were swamped with offers to build ghost defense systems, for both private organizations and governments.

All of this put a great pressure on our teenage heroes, they decided to go to the one place they always could relax, Sam's movie room. No one knew about it so they could watch movies in peace.

So what movie are we watching?" said Danny.

"Oh I think you'll recognize this one." said Sam as she turned on the DVD.

As they sat down the title screen for 1The Wind in the Forest came on the screen.

"Hey, this is a chick flick." said Tucker.

"Yes, it was the movie we were going to see before Dan showed up." said Valerie.

"But I wanted to see a Sci-Fi movie." said Danny.

"Yeah, but this movie is better." said Alicia.

"Oh, and why is that?" said Alex.

"It's the perfect movie to cuddle with your boyfriend." said all three girls as they jumped the boys.

As they were watching the movie and getting comfortable, Tucker spoke up.

"Hey Danny, do you think Dan and Future Sam are gone for good?" said Tucker as he held Valerie.

"Well Grim did send him to the plain of infinite nothingness, so I don't think they will be coming back." said Danny as he sat hugging Sam.

"Good, I never want to see his ugly face ever again." said Alex as he held Alicia.

"Hey, let's forget them and enjoy the movie." said Sam.

As everyone relaxed and watched the movie, we head to the plain of infinite nothingness. There floating in the void was the cube containing the evil Dan and Sam. As we get closer we can see it has dents all over it, coming from the inside. We can see it shake and hear an evil laugh emanating from it that would chill the blood of even the bravest of humans. Suddenly two evil grinning faces imprint themselves on the side, the faces of Dan and Sam.
