Do you wanna be a Fenton?

Chapter 3: The first night of a new life

Night soon arrived or the Fenton family and their newest member. In celebration of their new little addition, Maddie went all out and prepared a feast and made an extra effort to make sure no ectoplasm contaminated it.

The table was staked with what could be described as a miniature Vegas buffet. Rice, chicken, spaghetti, lasagna, bread sticks, salad, and so much more.

This pleased both Jack and Dani who were currently absorbing the meal with much gusto. Maddie and Jazz couldn't believe there was so much who's appetite was similar to the Fenton patriarch. Danny was the only one unfazed as he already witness Dani's mighty appetite during her first visit

"Wow"….was all Jazz could say when she saw Danielle going for a third helping.

"Danielle...sweetie, when exactly was the last time you ate?"...Maddie asked in a worried tone. She knew the girl was on her own and she was currently eating like she hadn't had a decent meal in a long time.

"Huh, oh...well, I managed to get my hand on some apples before I met up with Danny"...Dani said in a casual voice and it didn't sit well with Maddie at all.

After a few more bites Dani finally stopped and was rubbing her belly with a look of contentment.

'Dinner was great Mrs. Fenton"...Dani said in a truly grateful voice

"Um...Danielle...Dani dear...now that your going to be formally adopted into the family...well..."...Maddie trailed official

"I would like it if now you could call me...mom"...Maddie finally said surprising the little ghost girl

"You mean it?"...Danny asked excitedly

"Of course"...Maddie said

"Same goes here, if your going to be one of my kids, you get to call me dad now"...Jack said eagerly

"Okay...mom and dad"...Dani said, feeling very happy.

She never had a mother before and it's been so long since she called someone "dad", and it was the first time she was addressing someone who deserved that title.

Danny smiled at his new little sister. He could see they were going to be one big, happy family. Danny knew Danielle deserved it that more than anyone in the world.

"It's getting late Danielle, dear and tomorrows a big day for us"...Maddie said as she cleared the table and put the left overs away

"Huh? What do you mean?"...Dani asked

"Tomorrow where going to meet with Tucker in order to complete the adoption process"...Maddie said

"Mom, I thought it usually takes a few months for that sorta thing to happen"...Jazz asked confused, Dani just came tonight, most families had to wait months and file out a ton of paperwork before they could take a child home with them.

"It's one of the perks of having the mayor as your best friend"...Danny said with a grin. He called Tucker while Dani was still bouncing off the walls and told him what happened.

Naturally his best friend was the first to congratulate him and even offered to have the documents ready by day break, and offer Danny took instantly.

He was really looking forward to tomorrow morning, he knew his parents wouldn't be able to sign fast enough.

"Not to mention we have to go shopping, for some new clothes and to decorate your room"...Maddie said to her soon to be new daughter

"My own room?!"...Dani exclaimed, having not expected it

"Well, of course, Jazz offered to let you bunk in with her tonight, but it's only temporary until we fix up the guest room"...Jack said as he was reluctantly helping his wife clear the table and trying not to consume the remaining left overs.

Dani couldn't believe this was happening, her own room, new clothes and all that! Sweet!

"Not to mention we have to get some school supplies as well"….Jazz said as she was now in front of the little ghost girl.

"School?!"...Dani asked in a shocked voice

"Well duh, you have to get an education or else you'll...Jazz then went on in a long speech about the importance of education, the benefits of a secured future and Dani zoned out after a minute of it until Danny came to the rescue

"Alright Jazz, she gets it"...Danny said, having grown tired of his sisters speech as well

"Anyway, mom and dad just want to see where you stand, your 12 years old but with all that's happened...they just want to see where you should be, but if things work out, they are sending you to Amity Elementary"...Danny explained to his soon to be adopted little sister

"Amity Elementary?"...Dani asked, still with a curious look on her face

"It's where Jazz and me used to attend when we were kids, it's like any other elementary school, but I think you'll like it"...Danny said honestly.

Amity Elementary was one of the biggest elementary school's in town and most of the students of Casper High all attended there. It's where he first met Tucker and Sam when he was in kindergarten, so the school had a special place in his heart.

He knew Dani would be okay there.

Dani still couldn't believe what has happened today. She had a new family and she also was going to school soon. She was feeling excited since she's never been to school except when she went to Casper High when she was still working under Vlad.

She was actually looking forward to this. She was going to school like a normal girl, she'll make friends and have the experience she never thought she would have.

She couldn't wait.

Later Dani and the Fenton's were preparing for bed, Dani was currently wearing a pair of purple PJ's that used to belong to Jazz though Ma-...mom promised to buy her a pair soon.

She entered his new sisters bedroom and rolled her eyes, it was too pink and girly for her taste but she had no right to be picky since last night she snuck into a motel to have a warm place to sleep.

Jack and Danny were currently setting the inflatable mattress, pillows and blankets before her.

"It might not be the presidential suite, but I hope you're comfortable"...Jazz said kindly

"It's more than enough"...Dani said meaning it

It was soon lights out and Jazz was out like a light while Dani still laid awake.

She was smiling and for the first time in her life...felt a peace.

She no longer had to be afraid of melting into a puddle, Vlad was gone and she didn't have to fear him anymore, Danny's family accepted her and she had a new home to call her own.

Her eyes started to water a bit but she wasn't going to cry. She already shed enough tears in her old life, but she was determined not to in this new one.

She could finally be happy! She could finally be treated like a normal girl and she finally had a place where she belonged.

And she knew things were going to get better from here on out. She thought about her new home, she thought about Amity Elementary and how soon she would finally have some friends of her own and she also thought about all the action in her future.

There was no way she was going to let Danny hog all the ghost fighting, beside Amity Park was big enough for both of them and she knew her big brother was going to love having her as his new partner in crime fighting.

Dani blinked a bit as the word finally registered into her mind.

"Big brother"….Dani thought again and couldn't help but smile

This morning she only wanted to see her favorite cousin again but now her cousin was big brother, she also had a big sister as well, and parents and a roof over her head.

She now had a mother who would make her meals and talk to her when she was feeling down, she had a father who actually seem to care about her and wanted her around, and she now had a big brother and bigsister to look out for her.

She was no longer Dani Phantom, the unstable female clone of the ghost boy and unknowingly the slave of fruit loop Vlad Plasmius. She was now Dani Fenton, sister of Danny and Jazz and the new daughter of Jack and Maddie Fenton.

She could finally kiss her old life goodbye. There would be no more fearing for her life, there would be no more going hungry and using her powers to get a decent meal, there would be no more lying and stealing for survival, there would be no more cold and lonely nights, there would be no more crying, no more loneliness, there would be no more problems and no more hiding from Vlad and his minions.

Her new life was just starting and she was going to love it.

She finally had a place where she belonged.

She finally had a real, true family.

She was finally home.

She was at long last a Fenton.

The end
