Title: All For A Book

Summary: Data, Clockwork's young apprentice, is given a mission, a rather simple one- watch Ouran Academy to make sure that Ghostwriter, who wanted more information for a book he was writing, didn't screw everything up. Of course, what happens- he went and screwed everything up.

Genre: Humor

Rated: T

Disclaimer: I do not own nor claim Ouran High School Host Club. I do not own nor claim Danny Phantom. I do own Data.

Notes: For those of you that have read Clockwork's Apprentice, then you're familiar with Data so I am reusing her because I love to her death- though this story is not related to that one.

AU- Young Ghostwriter (17- well, looks seventeen) and young Data (also looks seventeen)!

Prologue:

Data:

I was banned from bubblegum from one stupid mistake and at the moment, I was really in the mood for bubblegum. Guess that's what I get for blowing a bubble so big that it ended up sticking my lair to Clockwork's…. If I was lucky then I should have just blew a bubble near the Observants, let's see them get that off of their bowl-heads.

However, I was happy that I finally managed to get a piece of gum from Ember. I flew into Clockwork's Lair, making sure that I hid the fact that I was chewing bubble gum. After all, I was banned.

"Data," Clockwork greeted as he shifted from a child to a young adult, not once taking his eyes off the screen in front of him.

I nodded in greeting, but didn't say anything because of the gum.

"I suppose you're wondering why I brought you here?"

I nodded again as he continued,

"You recall Ghostwriter's latest book?"

I didn't even have to think for a moment. Of course I remembered. My obsession was knowledge, after all, and as a result I had a tendency to never forget things- even after all these years. Clockwork was referring to Disguises, Ghostwriter's latest book that he was currently writing. To my understanding, the book was going to be an assassin sent to kill the student of a mafia. To do so, the assassin must go undercover at the target's school- a high school. The whole book was a teenage romance novel about the assassin falling in love with the target's best friend. As a result, he can't kill the target out of love for the best friend. It was a teeny bit cliché, but all in all, a bit interesting since it was such a change from what Ghostwriter usually wrote about.

Clockwork didn't even wait for an answer, as he shifted from a young adult to an adult,

"He decided that it would be a good idea to get more… knowledge on the subject of teen romance, how real teenagers interact, and how high school works- from a personal view."

I titled my head slightly, a lock of my black hair in front of my red eyes ever so slightly. Clockwork gestured to the screen where I saw a young man. He looked like Ghostwriter- the clean face, glasses, clothes and even the scarf, yet… the one I was looking at was human.

"He decided the best way to gain this knowledge was to be disguised as a student at Ouran Academy, as his book takes place in Japan and deals with the mafia- whose sons go to that school. As a friend, I did allow him to do this and even provided the disguise ring for him…"

Clockwork shifted from an adult to an elderly man as he looked at me,

"However, we both know that Ghostwriter has a tendency to stir up trouble. There lays your assignment, young apprentice, with the disguise ring you can also be a student at Ouran Academy. I know you two are good friends and therefore it shouldn't be a problem. Make sure he stays out of trouble. Understood?"

I nodded as I blew a bubble with the bubble gum and it popped.

"….what did I say about bubblegum?"

Crap.
