Authors Note: Alright, a few words before I get into the story. This is an Alternate Universe Fiction about if Maddie and Jack finished the Ghost portal when Danny was 7 and he was forced into the ghost zone.

Now a few notes about speech breaks and such

"speaking openly"

'Thinking to themselves'

"Telepathic Mental connection"

(General P.O.V. Fenton works.)

Danny Fenton was sitting on the desk in the basement to Fenton works swinging his legs back and forth in the air watching his parents work on the Ghost portal they have been working on since before he was born. Wearing a skin tight white as snow jumpsuit with black belt, black collar and big D on the chest with black gloved and boots with a white bases completing the attire. The boys raven black hair and piercing blue eyes staring intently at his parents while his face is written with happiness knowing that once it's done his parents will take him out for some ice cream for the good grades he had promised to give them. His mind wanders to what could lay beyond the portal once it is active thinking maybe it would be like that one movie he saw a few months back Casper the friendly ghost. He silently chuckles to himself remembering how his dad was screaming in protest at the idea of a friendly ghost. Watching his parents work on the finishing touches of the portal they hug tightly and jump a few times before running back to the desk where Danny is sitting and just sit with him. Looking up at his parents Danny smiles some and holds onto the crank lever to the portal before his parents speak.

"Alright Maddie, If our calculations are correct then when Danny boy hits that button, all our dreams will be a reality." Jack boasts proudly.

"I know sweety. I just hope that after 10 long years of building we get it right this time without incident." Maddie says as she remembers the incident with Vlad.

"We all know that was an accident and even Vladdie is over it cause he said it helped him get his fortune. Now Danny boy just slide that lever forward to turn on the Portal and we can go out for fudge and ice cream." Jack says in a happy way to his son.

"YAY ICE CREAM! Okay daddy I can't wait." Danny exclaims with excitement.

Danny carefully pushed the lever forward and the portal simply hummed for a brief few seconds as a couple sparks spurted forth from the center of the gaping entrance to the octagonal portal before dying off completely. The older fentons sighed with defeat as the get off the Desk and tell Danny to wait in the lab while they get ready to grab him and reward him for his grades. Danny just nods happily and chuckles getting off the desk. As his parents ascend the stairs to the normal living area he walks over to the big metal portal wondering why it hadn't worked. Shrugging his shoulders Danny walks inside the portals inactive opening and looks around. He just stares wide eyed at the gleaming metal laughing some. Danny's eyes soon come to rest on a button panel on the inside of the portal and sees an ON button. 'Huh I wonder what that button does?' Danny thinks to himself as his finger pushes the on button.

When the button is pressed the portal springs to life with green ecto energies blasting Danny with a full amount of it's power. His screams of agony shredding the silence inside the sound proof basement of the Fenton home. His screams go unheard above as his jumpsuits color scheme switches to ebony black base and white trim and big white D on the front. His once Raven black hair turns platinum snow white as his piercing blue eyes shift to a bright neon green. The boy is hurled away from portal after the transformation and is laying on the floor crying in pain for his mother as the lights in the house flicker on and off as the ghost alarm system blairs its sirens alerting Danny's parents something happened in the lab.

"Ma-Mah-Mommy, I want my mommy" Danny says as tears roll down his injured cheeks.

Still crying his eyes out the boy just wails as his tears spill down his cheeks while he tries rubbing them away. His wailing stops when he sees his mother and father run down to the lab to see what was happening. Danny's eyes light up with happiness knowing his parents will make him feel better. He starts running over to them crying before he's stopped dead in his tracks as his parents pull their ecto-cannons out and aim for him. Danny freezes in fear and just continues sniffling and rubbing his eyes. Maddie is the first to speak as she realizes her son is no longer in the lab.

"Freeze ghost. What have you done with my son? Answer me?" Maddie inquires as her parental instincts kick in.

"Mommy it's me Danny, Don't you recognize me?" Danny asks still crying as his injuries bleed green.

"How dare you ghost-boy! You're not my son. Now answer the question before I rip you apart Molecule by molecule!" Jack yells out as he glares at who he thinks is a ghost.

"But Daddy-" Before Danny can finish his sentence Maddie points her ecto-pistol at him as Jack pulls the trigger on his ecto-cannon sending a laser blast just in front of his feet hitting and scorching the floor leaving a small burning hole before aiming it at him once more.

"M-Mo-Mommy?! why are you pointing that at me mommy?" Danny asks scared at what just happened.

"You're not my son ghost boy. Now hold still, we have to run some tests on you." Maddie says as she walks towards the boy infront of her ready to get the answers she wants.

Danny fearing for his life just cries more as he begins walking backwards towards the open portal. Danny just tries once more to get through to his parents hoping they will stop what they are doing. As Danny opens his mouth to speak, Maddie and pulls the trigger on her gun while Jack does the same with his a few moments later. As the weak ecto blast leaves the barrel of Maddies pistol Danny is clipped in the shoulder by the beam and is sent back into the portal as Jack's cannon blast hits the portals metal power case. The Cannon blast destroying the stabilizers in the portal causing the portal to close permanently as the frame begins exploding sending flaming chunks of metal and slag everywhere. A few pieces of flaming debris lands on the desk and wooden table in the lab burning the blue prints and designs for the ghost portal before the sprinkler system engages dousing the flames.

Jack and Maddie scold themselves for the mistake of letting the ghost boy get away and at the loss of both the portal and the designs to build it as well as losing there son thinking the ghost boy killed him. They both head upstairs with a sigh and Maddie decides to watch the security tapes to see just what that vile ghost boy had done to her precious little boy. Upon watching the video tapes her heart nearly shatters as she watches what transpires as her son is blasted with the portals energy and transforms right in front of her eyes and how he was crying in pain. Her heart sinks to the lowest depths of pain and anguish as she watches herself not only scream and threaten her boy but mercilessly shoot him when he only wanted to be held and comforted. Her tears break forth and cascade down her cheeks as she screams for her husband yelling at what a terrible mistake they had made and how they must rebuild the portal to get their son back.

On the other side of the portal Danny is continuing to cry his eyes out even more so then before as his heart had been broken and thrown into the deepest pits of human disrepair. His screams of agony and pain echo throughout the ghost zone while he holds his injured shoulder sitting on the now broken portal base from what used to be an open door back to earth.

"Why mommy? Why didn't you and daddy want me anymore? Why didn't you believe me? My shoulder hurts mommy. Please mommy why did you hurt me? I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you please take me back." Danny begins sobbing and crying as his heart begins to shatter at the reality around him.

(General P.O.V. Ghost zone a few dozen meters away from the portal.)

Johnny and Kitty were riding through the ghost zone on his trademark grey Harley to see if the rumors of the new portal were true. Johnny the usual punk rocker attire on his person as his grey tinted skin seemed to be a bit dirty as if he had just gotten done with a fight. The ghosts blonde hair and small beard adorn his face and head as well as his form fitting cloths show off his rather toned physique pretty well. Sitting behind him with her arms wrapped around his waist was his girlfriend Kitty who wore a red leather jacket and skirt with fish net stockings and matching high heels. Her blue tinted skin only seemed to give her ruby red eyes that much more allure as did her green dreadlocks. Flying next to them on her spell infused magical Electric guitar was Kitty's best friend . The ghost zones biggest and best Rock&Roll star And pop Diva , Ember Mclain.

The three had heard the rumors from the bars and other ghosts that a metal portal had recently began to form in the ghost zone and the one main guess was that it was a portal to earth that would connect to the ghost zone. Curious about the rumors the three decided to just give it a shot and head for where the portal was supposed to be. Ember having known things like this possible is thinking as they went towards the portal. 'No harm in checking out the rumors. At best they are true and like the Plasmius portal it will lead to earth. At the worst we waste a few hours of eternity. Not like we can die of old age anymore.' The trio come up within hearing distance of the wailing Danny and all three stop dead at that moment and look at each other. Hearing the cries of the boy they slowly make their approach and catch the last of Danny's thoughts as he cries them into the vast empty realm of the ghost zone. They all look at each other as they hear him begging forgiveness from his mother and cringe as they hear what he says about her hurting him. Ember floats over to Danny and looks him over as his tears are being wiped away. She notices the burn mark in his shoulder and his black and white jumpsuit. She feels a tinge of pain looking at the poor crying child and decides to try and sooth the distressed child.

"Hey there, Are you doing alright kid?" Ember asks the little white haired kid.

Hearing that voice, Danny is brought out of his trance as his head snaps up to look at who was addressing him. He looks Ember over with tears in his eyes. Her beautiful blue-grey skin giving off a soft warming glow in the tinted green of the ghost zone. Her gorgeous piercing eyes written with worry and compassion as her azure tinted flaming hair is done into a ponytail. Her cloths consisting of thigh length black leather combat lift boots with a skull design on the front. Her black skirt fitting her shapely hips well as her spaghetti strap tank top covers her breasts. Embers mascara and makeup giving her what Danny remembers to be like the band his parents liked. KISS was the name of the band as his mommy always listened to it with him when he wanted to sleep. He figures she must be at-least in her teens like his older sister thinks she is when she's really only just about 3 years older then him. This girl however is way older. She looks like those snobby seniors from highschool who come by the house and laugh at the ops center.. He smiles at the memory before crying out again unable to answer. Ember just looks at the boy and floats down a little more only to lightly place her hand on Danny's non injured shoulder. Her soft hand lightly sliding up and down to comfort him as she softly shush's the boy.

"Pah-Pahl- Please don't hurt me Mrs. ghost lady. I don't wanna die." Danny says fearing what she'll do to him since his parents told him of what ghosts really are.

"Shhh, It's going to be okay baby-pop. I'm not here to hurt you at all I'm here to help you and so are my two friends. Why don't you cry it out on my shoulder and tell us all about what happened." Ember says to the little boy as she gently begins patting his back.

"Y-You don't wa-wan-want to hu-hurt me?" Danny asks still sobning somewhat as he sniffles a little.

"Of course not little man. We aren't monsters. Now spill little dude what happened?" Johnny says rather bluntly before getting a glare from the two women around them.

Danny Taken back by the three ghosts around him just bawls once more gripping onto Ember as tight as he can crying into her shoulder. The males tears soaking her skin as she just stars dumbfounded at the boy. Her ghostly heart tinging in pain once more as she wonders what could have happened to the boy to get him like this. She wraps her arms around his tiny frame and holds him tight nuzzling into the little guy. All the while her hand unconsciously rubbing up and down his back in a soothing motion to calm him down. After about an hour of full blown crying the boy calms down enough to just be sniffling and sobbing. When he gets to this point He concedes to their earlier requests and tells them everything. The explanation only takes about 20 minutes and by the end all three ghosts are sick to their stomachs at what has happened to the child.

The fire of hatred sparking in all three ghosts at the acts of the Danny's parents. None is more evident then Ember's rage as her once calm flaming pony tail erupts upward in a blazing inferno of rage and fury. The nerve of the boys parents. Just so callously threatening and injuring their own flesh and blood child forcing him to run into the ghost zone. Danny's tears finally stopping as he just sobs in Embers arms. Danny noticing the warmth coming off of embers body just digs in more and nuzzles into her.

"Miss ghost lady, You're really warm. I thought ghosts were cold." Danny says curiously as he nuzzles into the warmth provided by Ember.

"Well mt little baby-pop I may be a ghost but I'm a ghost that has a flame core. Because of that i'm warm. Most ghosts are room temperature or less. And judging by the story you told us, you also thought all ghosts were mean. Do we seem mean to you?" Ember asks as she holds Danny up a bit with a soft smile. Her hand rubbing the small of his back.

"N-No, No you aren't mean. You're a really nice ghost lady." Danny says rather plainly getting Emver to sigh.

"Kid don't call me ghost lady. My name is Ember, Ember Mclain. And these are my friends Johnny 13, and his girlfriend Kitty Neko." Ember says as she lifts her head a bit with pride as she has one hand point out to the other two ghosts with her.

"Nice to meet you all. My name is Danny Fenton . . . or well, it was before . . . ." Danny isn't able to finish his sentence as ember cuts him off.

"Danny huh? That's a nice name. Hey what do you say you come with me and my friends to our house. We can keep an eye out for you and get you healed up." Ember says happily to keep the kid from crying again.

"Y-You mean you're not just gonna l-leave me here alone?" Danny asks a bit hopeful before looking into embers stunning blue eyes.

"Are you crazy? Of course not baby-pop. Now since your parents obviously so viciously abandoned you . . .why don't you come live with me after your all healed up? I'll take care of you as best i can little man." Ember says poking Danny's nose with the tip of her finger.

"Ok-Okay, B-But what about my last name. Since mommy and daddy don't want me what will my name be?" Danny thinks on it since technically he couldn't be a Fenton anymore after being abandoned.

Kitty, Johnny and Ember all look amongst one another before Ember turns her gaze back to Danny with a smile and just carefully puts her hand on his shoulder as she adjusts him with her other one. Taking care not to further cause pain from his injury. She looks at him with a smile and says.

"Danny, If you want, You can take my last name Mclain. As I said before. I wouldn't mind taking you home with me and taking care of you till you feel better." Ember says happily to the boy who tears up out of happiness.

"I-I'd . . .I think i'd like that . . . .Ember." Danny finishes that statement and just wraps Ember into a tight hug. Nuzzling into her he just drifts off to sleep.

Ember just looks at the boy in disbelief at what he had agreed to. Holding onto the boy as the stress and exhaustion from the ordeal puts Danny to sleep. The pop diva just looking at the boy with a smile on her face as her own eyes tear up some. She holds onto the boy and carries him in her arms. Ember floats away from the inactive portal with Kitty and Johnny not far behind her.

"Can you guys believe those people. Attacking their own son like that just because he looks a bit different than hes supposed to? Savage morons wouldn't even take the time to hear him out." Ember says angry about it all.

"I know what you mean Ember sweetie. Also did you hear what else they claim. Idiots, claim we're the monsters." Kitty says agreeing with Ember completely.

"Ember this little dudes been through hell. I wont say this is a bad idea but do you know what kind of commitment a kid is?" Johnny asks in a rare show of clarity and intelligence he never normally has.

"Yes i do. And this is only temporary. I'll take him home and take care of him for a few months and see if Pandora will take him in. We all know she's wanted a child since she was a human. . .kinda." Ember says with a smile as she looks around knowing her own lair isn't far from here.

"Ember I don't think that's a good idea. If you take care of him to the point you claim you are and just push him off think of what it will do to him." Kitty speaks in a worried tone.

"Yeah, I mean look. His birth parents just so rudely and viciously did that to him and you're going to take care of him till he feels better so he doesn't feel abandoned even though he totally was. That could take at least a full 3 or 4 months. He'll come to trust you like he did them and then you just dump him off on someone else? How do you think that will make him feel." Johnny once again making the ladies with him question if this really is Johnny.

" As rare as it is for Johnny to show smarts Ember, Johnny's right. If you're gonna take care of him you have to do it full time and become his mother." Kitty says as she gets onto Johnny's bike. The owner of said bike looking down as hisbshadow pats his back while a raincloud is above his head raining on him.

"Wow, Uh i didn't think about it like that. . .I guess you're right. I might as well step up and do this to the fullest. I wouldn't mind raising him like my son." Ember says in a way to try and both convince everyone even herself of this as well as psyche herself up.

"Atta girl Em. Now we will need to go and get him cloths and maybe some food cause i'm sure that even in that ghost form he'll get hungry. You have food for him right?" Kitty says as Johnny gets on the bike with Kitty who wraps her arms around his waist.

"Yes i have good food for him. I can make him noodles and some burgers or something to eat and i have plenty of soda, water and juice at my realm. I just hope he sleeps soundly. He's had a hell of a day." Ember says as she ruffles the boys hair.

As the three ghosts head out they soon separate leaving Ember alone with Danny at her realm. Closing the door to it Ember floats over to her bedroom and Lays poor Danny down on her queen sized bed. Her black silk sheets and comforter covering her soft and plush pillow top bed. She lays Danny's head down on one of her azure blue pillow cased Goose down pillows to rest. She covers him up before getting into the bed herself and covering herself up and staying close to Danny. Not wanting to be to far away from the child just in case he is thrown from the realm of sleep by nightmares that are sure to follow for the next few months.
