Chapter 20

Danny Miami

Two weeks after Danielle's visit with Marisol, things returned to normal. Danielle's friends continued investigating haunted places in Miami in broad daylight with little to no results, Danielle visited Speed at his grave more often, and her friends have been helping her expand her personality. Danielle was now into Pokémon, Disney movies, Harry Potter, old black and white movies, and the Legend of Zelda.

One morning, the doorbell rang and Yelina went to get it. Danielle didn't hear much since she was busy listening to some Quietdrive CDs Leila lent her. Yelina knocked on her door.

Danielle took off her headphones and opened it. "What's going on, Yelina?"

Yelina had a smug look on her face, like she had a surprise for the girl. "You have a visitor."

Danielle blinked. "I do? I didn't make any plans with my friends today. Who is it?"

Yelina led the girl out of her room. "It's a surprise."

Danielle went into the living room where her visitor was waiting for her. A teenage boy who looked almost exactly like Danielle was waiting for her. Danielle's face lit up instantly. "DANNY!" she cried excitedly. She ran over and tackled him to the floor. "I'm so glad to see you! I've missed you so much!"

"Nice to see you too, Danielle," Danny gagged. "Too tight! Cutting off my oxygen!"

"Danielle, you know roughhousing is not allowed indoors," Yelina scolded.

Danielle released Danny and smiled sheepishly at Yelina. "Sorry. Got excited, you know?"

"Wow! I'm impressed," said Danny. "You've come a long way, Danielle."

"I've taught her well," said Yelina proudly. "Is it true you're Phantom?"

Danny panicked. "You mean you know?"

Yelina smiled. "Relax. Your secret is safe with us. Only myself, Horatio and the CSI's know your identity, Danny. You can trust us."

Danny relaxed. "Whew! Okay. That makes me feel a little better."

"Are you going to show Danny around town?" Yelina asked Danielle.

Danielle smiled and nodded. "Yep. I want him to meet my friends from school and Horatio and the others."

"Okay. Make sure to stay out of sight, if you know what I mean," Yelina reminded the hybrids with a wink.

Both hybrids looked at each other and nodded. They lifted their fists in the air and shouted, "GOING GHOST!" The two became their alter egos in a series of flashes of lights. They then phased out of the house and flew into the city.

Yelina blinked and rubbed her eyes. "I gotta start wearing sunglasses whenever she does that," she reminded herself.

Danny and Dani's first stop was at the cemetery. They approached Tim Speedle's tombstone where he was waiting for them.

"Well, well, well. The Phantom of Amity Park finally comes to Miami," greeted Speed.

Phantom smiled. "Nice to see you again, Speedy," he said, shaking Speed's hand.

"Things going well up north?" asked Speed.

"So far so good. Vlad hasn't come up with anything with Danielle's blood yet. Has Aiden and Angell gotten any leads?" asked Phantom.

"Nothing yet," said Speed. "I also want to talk to you about my role involving Danielle."

"What role?" asked Dani.

"You know how Clockwork and Frostbite are like my guardians and mentors?" asked Phantom.

"Yeah."

Speed gave the clone a deadpanned look. "Phantom wants to appoint me your guardian and mentor until it's safe for you to return to Amity Park," he said irritably.

Dani was confused. "I thought Yelina was my guardian."

Phantom chuckled. "For Danielle Masters but not for Dani Phantom," he said matter-of-factly.

"I can't believe I lost that bet with Jesse," whined Speed.

"Isn't there someone else buried here that Dani wanted me to meet?" asked Phantom.

"You mean Horatio's late wife?" asked Speed.

"Yeah her."

"Down that hill near that big tree."

"Thanks," said Phantom.

"Yeah, yeah. Danielle, more training on Monday after school," said Speed. "Oh! Phantom! I believe you two have something for me." He held out his hand like he expected the two to give him money.

It took Danielle a moment but she finally realized what Speed was talking about. "Oh, right!" She pulled out the Fenton Thermos. "I need it back ASAP."

"I'll have Jesse send it back to you after we book Bonnie and Clyde here," he said shaking the Thermos for emphasis.

"Okay," Dani waved goodbye to Speed and the two Phantoms floated towards Marisol's grave.

"'Marisol Delko-Caine'?" Phantom read.

"Yep, this is her," said Dani. "She said that she's friends with the late wife of a friend of yours. Who is it?"

Phantom thought for a moment then snapped his fingers. "Marisol must be friends with Claire Taylor, Mac's late wife."

"Mac Taylor? The same Mac Taylor you were always talking about?" Dani asked.

"The same guy," Phantom confirmed. "I still find it hard to believe Mac was once married."

"Have you heard from him lately?"

"Not really, although we did get a Christmas card from the crime lab over the holidays," Phantom trailed off.

"Did your parents send one back?" asked Dani.

"Unfortunately," said Phantom, shivering at the thought.

"The picture that bad?"

"The Box Ghost was trying to scare us so my dad got out the Fenton Fisher but it was tangled up, my mom tried to use the Anti-creep Stick on him but accidentally hit me, and Jazz just covered her face in embarrassment," Phantom explained. "At least this Christmas was better than last year's."

"You mean when you were trapped in a poem written by Ghostwriter?" asked Dani.

"I learned my lesson!" Phantom defended. The two then flew off to the park where Dani's friends were meeting them.

As soon as Phantom and Dani arrived at the park they immediately phased into the public bathroom and became humans. They walked out and Danielle led Danny to her friends who were waiting for her on the jungle gym. Danny was amazed at how much the girls looked like his "cousin". The only differences were that they seemed to have different heights and their eyes were different shades of blue.

"Guys!" Danielle called. The girls looked up and leapt off the jungle gym to meet Danielle and the boy who was with her.

"Hi Danielle!" Gwen greeted happily. It was clear that she was back to her normal hyper self.

"Who's your friend?" asked Luna.

"And is he single?" added Leila, earning her an elbow to the ribs by Luna.

"This is my cousin, Danny Fenton," said Danielle. Danny waved to them. "Danny, these are my friends: Luna Rivera, Gwen Seabrook and Leila Saturn." The girls nodded to Danny as their names were introduced.

"Nice to meet you all," said Danny. "In answer to your question, Leila, I'm…uh…kind of seeing someone."

"Dang," said Leila.

Danielle giggled. "You mean that you still haven't told Sam how you feel about her?"

"Hey, guys are not good with words!" Danny defended. "Anyway, I'm sorry about your cousin, Gwen. I'm glad that Danielle managed to catch Spectra."

"Thanks, " said Gwen. "But don't forget to thank Lieutenant Caine. He saved everyone, including Danielle." The Ghost Girl blushed at that.

Danny laughed. "I'll make sure to thank him if I see him."

"So is it true that you're…Phantom?" Luna whispered.

Danny looked around to make sure no one was paying attention. "Yeah, it's true. But you can't tell anyone!" he hissed.

Gwen got excited. "Oooohhhh! Can we see you change? Can we? Huh?"

Leila started getting an idea. "Hey, yeah! We can even take him to where we train!"

Danny chuckled. "Training? You three are in on this too?"

Leila shrugged. "Hey, Buffy and her friends kept themselves in shape in case of a vampire attack. Why can't we for ghosts?"

Danny looked at Danielle. "Is she the one who likes to watch 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'?"

"Yep."

Danny sighed. "Okay. I'll take a look at your training facility…but I'll have to go ghost when no one is looking."

"It's more like an abandoned warehouse," muttered Leila.

"Shhhh!" hushed Luna.

The two hybrids jumped into a bush and changed. Two Phantoms popped out of the bush and landed in front of Danielle's friends.

"That…is…AWESOME!" Gwen exclaimed excitedly. "Two Phantoms are even better than one!"

"Gwen! Gwen! Keep it down!" said Luna. "People are going to stare and then BOTH Phantoms will fall prey to Erica Sykes."

Phantom raised an eyebrow. "Erica who?"

"She's a TV reporter whom Wolfe says is a threat to the First Amendment," Dani said as she recalled what Yelina said about the obnoxious reporter.

"Is she the one who came up with that 'Invisi-Belle' garbage?" asked Phantom.

"Yeah," Dani said in embarrassment.

Phantom blinked and then moved on. "All right. Enough chitchat. How about you take me to where you practice?"

Dani grabbed Leila and Luna while Phantom picked up Gwen. The two Phantoms then became invisible and flew off.

After a few hours of showing Danny the abandoned warehouse where the girls practiced, they went their separate ways and the "cousins" went to a Cuban restaurant for lunch. Afterwards, they then went swimming at the beach.

"So, how are you liking Miami?" Danny asked Danielle as they built a sandcastle.

"I love it here!" Danielle exclaimed. "The only downside is how hot it gets here."

"At least you have the beach to keep cool," said Danny.

"Yeah but Yelina said I'm not allowed to go to the beach on a school day unless it's for homework," Danielle explained.

"Sounds like she really laid down the law to you."

Danielle smiled. "Yeah but I know she means well. Besides, I promised Horatio that I wouldn't be a burden so staying out of trouble is the way to go."

Danny smiled proudly. "Well said, Cuz."

Evening came way too quickly. Before Danny left, however, Danielle wanted him to officially meet Horatio and the CSI's.

"This is the precinct," Danielle explained as they entered the building. "The lab is upstairs. That's where almost everyone is right now."

Danny gave Danielle a bemused look. "Almost?" he asked.

A bald gruff man in a suit and tie approached the duo. "Danielle? What brings you here? And who's your friend…and why does he look almost exactly like you?" he asked in a thick Texan accent.

Danny smiled sheepishly. "Uh, hi. I'm Danny Fenton," he introduced himself nervously.

The bald man's demeanor softened a little at the mentioning of Danny's name. "So you're the Danny Fenton that Danielle's always talking about! About time you came for a visit!" he said. He held out his hand. "Detective Frank Tripp."

Danny shook Frank's hand. "Nice to meet you. Danielle told me a lot about this place," said the teenager.

"She should. She stops here everyday after school," said Frank. Danielle blushed in embarrassment. "If you want to meet the others, they're upstairs."

"Thanks, Detective Tripp," said Danny. The two then left Frank and went into the elevator (after getting their visitor's passes). "He's…interesting."

Danielle giggled. "He may seem grumpy but he's kind of nice once you get to know him," she said.

"Kind of reminds me of someone else I know," Danny muttered. They got off the elevator and Danny took in his surroundings in awe. "This is way better than TV!"

"Funny. That's what Leila said when she first came here," Danielle said to herself.

"Hey Danielle!" a blonde woman greeted as she approached them. Danny gawked at her. She took one look at Danny and snapped her fingers. "You're Danny Fenton, aren't you?" she asked.

Danny blinked. "Uh, yeah… How do you know me?"

The woman laughed. "How do you think we found out about you in the first place?" she asked, referring to Danielle. "I'm Calleigh Duquesne. I'm a ballistics expert."

"That means you handle guns, right?" asked Danny as he tried to recall everything he learned in New York several months ago.

Calleigh smiled. "That's correct. You've been reading about forensics?"

Danny rubbed the back of his head. "From time to time," he answered.

"I really like those ecto-pistols your ghost friends sent us," Calleigh complimented. "They've been really helpful."

A Cuban-American man then approached the three. "Calleigh, you almost ready to go? I have reservations at…" he stopped as he noticed Danny and Danielle. He kept looking back and forth at them. "Am I the only one seeing this?" he asked.

Danielle giggled. "This is Danny, my cousin!" she said.

Danny smiled. "I'm Danny Fenton."

"Nice to finally meet you. I'm Eric Delko," said the Cuban as he shook Danny's hand. Eric remembered when Danny called the CSI's when Danielle was lost in the Everglades. They never would have found her without Danny's help (and Speed's). He then looked at Calleigh. "You almost ready?"

Calleigh smiled sweetly at Eric. "Just let me file some paperwork and I'll be all set to go."

"Okay, I'll meet you downstairs. Nice meeting you, Danny."

"Enjoy your tour of the crime lab," said Calleigh. The two then parted ways, leaving the young hybrids alone in the lobby.

"Are those two dating?" Danny asked Danielle.

Danielle giggled again. "Yep. Everyone is placing bets on when Eric will propose to Calleigh. I hope it's soon. And quit gawking at her! She's called 'Bullet Girl' for a reason."

Danny shook his head out. "Sorry. You know if Tucker were here with me he'd be drooling all over her," he said.

Two men then approached the two. One was tall and chubby while the other one was short and skinny.

The short one noticed the visitors. "You must be Danny Fenton, right?"

"Yeah."

The short man held out his hand. "CSI Ryan Wolfe and this big guy next to me is Walter Simmons." Danny shook both their hands.

"Holy cow! You two really do look alike!" Walter exclaimed. "Nice to finally see the Phantom of Amity Park."

"Does everyone in this lab know about me?" Danny asked nervously.

"Yeah, pretty much," Ryan said matter-of-factly.

"You going to tour the lab?" asked Walter.

"That's the idea," said Danny.

"If you go to the morgue, check and make sure Dr. Loman isn't working on a body," Walter warned.

Danny shivered. "Thanks for the heads up. Just thinking about it reminds me of the morgue in New York. My sister nearly puked and my friend, Tucker, fainted when we saw a dead body."

"What about Sam?" asked Danielle.

"She fell victim to Dr. Hammerback's infamous trivia ranting about whether or not the chicken egg was considered meat," Danny explained.

"Your girlfriend is a vegetarian?" guessed Ryan.

Danny blushed. "She's NOT my girlfriend and yes she is a vegetarian," he snapped. Walter and Ryan laughed.

The two kids walked off and entered the lounge where Natalia was reading a magazine. She looked up and immediately recognized Danny. "Danny Fenton, I presume?" she asked.

"Yeah," said Danny.

Natalia shook the boy's hand. "I'm Natalia Boa Vista."

Danny recognized the name. "Danielle's told me all about you!"

Natalia smiled. "She's told us all about you too."

"What's going on lately?" asked Danielle.

"Oh, the usual. Catching bad guys here, stopping drug lords there," she drawled. "Things seem to get exciting only when there's a ghost around lately. Not that I'm complaining, of course."

Danielle furrowed her eyebrows. "But Natalia, I thought Horatio was still looking for that crazy psycho doctor who's been killing girls and ripping out their – mmnnffff!" Natalia quickly covered her mouth and smiled sheepishly at Danny.

"Girl's been watching way too much TV," she said hastily. "I have no idea where she comes up with these ideas."

Danny chose to let the issue go for now. Natalia quickly shoved the two out of the lounge and closed the door.

"The way she was acting kind of reminds me of Jazz when we were younger," Danny recalled. "Whenever I was about to say too much, she'd always cover my mouth to shut me up."

"Really?" asked Danielle.

"Yeah but now I've been doing to more often to Tucker since he talks too much."

Danny and Danielle returned to Yelina's that evening. Danny was invited to stay for dinner before heading back home to Amity Park. Horatio was out in the field so Danny was unable to meet him much to Danielle's disappointment…or so she thought.

The doorbell rang as dinner was about to be served. Danny and Danielle were talking in the living room when a certain redhead entered.

"Evening, Danielle," greeted Horatio.

Danielle's face lit up. "Horatio! I didn't know you were coming."

Horatio gave the girl a half-smile. "Well, Yelina wanted me to surprise you and your 'cousin' before he left. It's nice to finally meet you in the flesh, Mr. Fenton."

Danny got up and shook Horatio's hand. "The feeling's mutual, Lieutenant. Thanks for watching after Danielle. I owe you big time!"

"It's no trouble at all," said Horatio. "She's actually quite well-behaved for someone her age."

Danny blinked. "Are you talking about her physical age or her biological age?" he asked. Danielle frowned at that.

Horatio chuckled. "I would say both."

"Danielle?" called Yelina. "Could you help me set the table?"

"Coming!" Danielle called back. "I'll be back soon." She then left the room to help Yelina.

"So, how many crime scenes has Danielle seen?" asked Danny.

"Not many," said Horatio. "She hasn't seen anything that would give her nightmares."

"So the only dead body she's seen is that girl you found her with?"

"Only one so far. She's not allowed in the morgue at the crime lab for obvious reasons," said Horatio.

Danny's face then fell. "Do you think she'll want to leave Miami when Amity Park is safe for her to live in?" he asked.

"Well Danny, I think that's up to her," Horatio replied. "She's made a lot of friends here over the past few months. Deciding which town to live in won't be easy for her."

"I guess I shouldn't push the issue," said Danny.

"She'll decide when she's ready," said Horatio.

Isn't that sweet? I have to say, this is probably the longest chapter I've ever written for this story!

I'm glad this story is finished. Not my best ending but I think it's good enough.

In case you're wondering what Danielle was talking about when she and Danny visited Natalia...you'll have to watch the last season of CSI Miami to know whom she's talking about. I'm not gonna say what its all about so I won't spoil anything for you.

Good news! I now have an account on deviantart! It's the same as my username here on FF so finding me won't be that hard.
