A/N: So, other than Force From the Future, I've had this idea swirling around in my head too. After reading some of the Fem!Danny fics out there I've noticed none of them are that great some are good don't get me wrong a few are great the one with Danny and Dash dating secretly for example. I decided to take a crack at it with my OC James Daniels now he will still be a halfa and so will Danny. James' life just won't be as shitty or at least his childhood won't be. This shouldn't take me away from Force From the Future too much, but it is a second story this also won't be like FFTF in how I write it this one instead of hitting the points of an episode and mostly the in-between. This will all be from my head and between episodes. I will still have a few ghost fights in there just because those are fun to write. Danny might be a bit OOC just depends on how I write her. Also, same warning it's written from my POV and I tend to run on a bit so somethings might get long winded. Last thing is the disclaimer I DON'T OWN DANNY PHANTOM. Alright with all that out of the way let's get on with whatever the hell I name this story when I post it
Chapter 1: I meet her.
It's just another shitty day at Casper High as I walk in it's the same thing day in and day out. Dash shoving some poor bastard in a locker. Kwan fucking with some band kid and me the hockey playing nerd walking the halls headphones in, Halestorm blasting. I'm so in the zone I don't even notice the girl I damn near trample. "Oh shit sorry about that." I tell her as I pull my headphones out. "It's ok happens a lot feels like I'm invisible sometimes." She's bummed I don't get why. I take a good look at her and wow just holy, I suddenly need a cold shower. She stands about 5'10, I don't know how I missed her she's only a couple inches shorter than me. Long jet black hair runs down to about the middle of her back. Her icy blue eyes stare right through me. She has on a white band tee for some band I think I've heard of but the shirts so faded I couldn't tell what it said. Her black skinny jeans make her ass look even better than it should be. Red converses complete her outfit. One thought ran through my mind get her number. "Still doesn't make me feel any better. I'm James, you are?" I hope I can at least put a name with that beautiful face. "Dani. Dani Fenton." She says a smile creeping on to her face. "I feel like I should make it up to you for running you over. Nasty on me after school?" I ask almost asking every deity I could think of she'd say yes. "You don't have to. I'm used to it now. Only my best friends notice me even after I get run over they don't even say sorry." Dani says seeming to get more depressed that smile fading fast. "Hey, I'm not Dash, Kwan or one of the other stupid jocks that can't notice a beautiful girl when she's standing right I front of them. So, let me make it up to you and get a Nasty Burger. Please." I add the please really wanting a yes, I have to know more about Dani Fenton something about her is just incredible. "Okay but just because your cute." She answers in a teasing tone and that beautiful smile plastered on her face as she walks off.
Dani's POV: "Tucker, Sam" I call over to my best friends, "it happened he asked me out." "Who?" Sam don't call her Samantha Manson asked me. "JAMES DANIELS THE GUY I'VE HAD A CRUSH ON SINCE HE GOT HERE TWO MONTHS AGO." I squealed excitedly. Wait I squealed oh god this boy has me wrapped around his finger already. "Awesome Dani, where are you guys going?" Tucker asks me "Nasty after school said he felt bad for running me over. And I know what your gonna say it's not a date but…" "Dude you and him are getting food after school together. If I got that with Paulina I would call it a date." Tucker interrupts me. I notice James coming back over my smile growing more "Hey, Dani I'm so sorry I forgot I had hockey practice after school I'm normally done by 4 so if you still wanna meet at Nasty then?" He asks. He seems scared why would he be scared, wait does James Daniels actually like me OH MY GOD. "Um, If it's not I'm free all day Saturday?" He asks me sounding desperate "No 4 is fine," I tell him trying to get my brain to fire again. "Great, I'll see you then." He says as he runs off.
James' POV: "Ok made it through the day now time to get to The Nasty Burger." I say to myself as a blue mist escapes my mouth "Great just fucking great." "WHELP!" "Look Skulker can we make this quick I have a date in like 10 minutes and I really don't want to be late." I say. I feel like I'm begging him to go away. "No, we can't I will have your pelt and then I will get the ghost girls pelt and hang them on my wall." "I was afraid you'd say that." I quickly clone myself and send the double to The Nasty Burger. "Well she must be important to send a clone. Maybe I'll hunt her to get to you whelp." Skulker tries to goad me into making a mistake. "You know what I don't have time for this either take your shot, miss, and then I'll pound you out of that stupid exoskeleton, or leave and we do this another time." I fire back a little pissed I'm kinda missing my date with Dani. "Guess we're dancing." I say as the white ring pops out of my waist, splits and travels up and down turning me into James Phantom. "WHAT JAMES TELL A GIRL YOU'RE HALF GHOST!" I hear Dani yell great, now she thinks I'm a freak. "Just my luck, both the ghost kids saves me the time of finding you." Skulker says and I'm confused to say the least. I look over to Dani and to my shock a white ring pops out of her waist, splits, and goes up and down her body. "Hey Dani, tell a guy you're half ghost next time." I tease her. Her ghost half looks just as good as her human half. (AN: Basically, Dani's ghost outfit is the same as Dani from the show except Dani in the story is taller.) "Wait the ghost kids are dating, I thought you were with Ember?" Skulker asks pointing at me. "Dude me and Ember we're never a thing I just helped her out." "Huh?" Dani look beyond confused. "You'd be amazed the friends you make in the zone when you talk instead of shoot first ask later. Trust me you're a prime complaint of Ember." I tell her. "What he a friend of yours?" She asks quite pissed I must say. "Me and the ghost zone's worst and lamest hunter friends. Girl you crazy he wants me hanging next to you on his wall." I respond to her question bringing a small smile to her face. "LAMEST HUNTER IN THE ZONE, WHELP YOU SHALL PAY…" "For that remark. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've been over this a million times Skulker. Now if you'll excuse me I HAVE A DATE TO GET TOOOO!" The last word coming out as a ghostly wail. Skulker gets tossed into a building and Dani sucks him in to a thermos. I look at it strangely. "Fenton Thermos with a little bit of a phantom boost to make it work. My parents hunt ghosts that's kind of how I got my powers." "Hey, I still owe you a date how about we talk about this then?" I ask as we fly to the Nasty Burger.
Once we get to the Nasty Burger we order and sit in a booth in the far back corner of the place. Guess she doesn't want anyone to know about her other half. "So, how and when?" I ask Dani genuinely curious because until I saw her change I thought I was the only halfa in existence. Yes, even with Ember's constant bitching about and I quote "Dani mother fucking goody two shoes cunt Phantom" I really didn't know about that she was a halfa too. "About three years ago, portal accident. My dad's not the sharpest tool in the shed so the on button was on the inside of our portal. I went in to look tripped over a wire, hit the activation button and Dani Phantom was born." She tells me. "Alright same question to you." "11 years ago, when I was 5, portal accident too. My mom built the portal I was down in her lab with my dad. She went to activate the portal I was too close so when the portal first opened I got blasted with some blowback or something from the Ghost Zone and James Phantom was born. By the way copy-cat much." I tell her "Hey, I thought other than Me, Vlad and the clone he made of me that we we're the only halfas in existence." She defended herself. "Wait Vlad as in Vlad Masters, He's Plasmius, damn didn't know that and a clone of you?" I ask her very curious now. "Vlad wants my mom as his wife and me as his halfa daughter. He realized he wasn't going to get that so he tried to make the perfect clone of me and he got close she looks exactly like me when I was 12, but she was unstable so just recently I helped her out using one of my dad's failed projects to save her." "What's her name?" I ask her, hoping that maybe some of my friends can help find her. "Dawn Phantom." She replies a hint of sadness in her voice. "What are you doing she doesn't want to be found!" "But you want to find her, don't you?" I ask her "Yeah she's like a little sister to me, hell who am I kidding she isn't a little sister to me she's my daughter. Think you can find her?" She asks me very hopefully "You don't have to look far mom." I younger female voice says. She looks ready to cry and Dani wasn't kidding Dawn looks like I would think Dani would at 12. (AN: Dani and Dawn have the same outfit in ghost form) "So, I'm guessing you're Dawn." I state more then ask as she turns back into her human half (AN: OK last time I'm doing this I swear Dawn basically is Dani from the show just didn't wanna use the same name for them both. I'll explain why I'm doing what I'm doing in at the end of this chapter) "Yep, now who are you and how do you know about me!?" She yells and asks at the same time. Deciding it would be easier to show her then try and tell her. If she's anything like the original she'll be just as stubborn. I zap her with a weak ecto-ray and she looks at me like I've grown a second head. Well guess this will work I start my transformation just letting the white ring appear. She sees this and it clicks I'm like her and Dani. "So, you got the whole story I guess?" Dawn asks me. "Yep." I answer her. "How'd did you learn to control your powers?" Dani asks me. "My parents helped me a lot well my mom helped me understand what I was my dad was who I went to when I started getting overwhelmed by everything that was going on. Mom helped me learn what could hurt me how to turn back into my human half," I say seeing their questioning looks "yeah, I was stuck in my ghost half for three years after the accident I couldn't concentrate hard enough on my human self to turn back. She really helped me hone my powers along with some of my friends from the Zone." I finish. "Who are your friends in the Zone and how'd you meet them?" Dani asks. "When I was 10 we went in for the first time to explore not long after we went in I met my best friend Ember. Then her friends Kitty, and Spectra." I say almost laughing at the shocked looks on their faces. "What I was a chubby faced 10-year-old even ghost women couldn't resist my cuteness at the time." "Yeah whatever you say Baby-pop?" A third female voice joins us "What's up Em." I say greeting my best friend in the Zone. "Wait, what are you doing with dipstick and Baby-dip?" Ember asks me a little, ok who am I kidding this is EMBER FREAKING MCLAIN we're talking about she's a lot pissed. "In my defense, I didn't know she was Dani Phantom when I asked her out." I say praying to clockwork that she listens. "I'll give her one chance but she stuffs me in her stupid thermos I'm kicking your girlfriends ass." "EM, I HAVEN'T EVEN TAKEN HER ON A PROPER DATE YET!" I yell quite agitated. "As long as she doesn't try and take over the world I'm cool with her. I don't get why she used mind control her music is really good, especially Remember really tells a great story. And I'm sorry for constantly shoving you in the Fenton Thermos." Dani says as the what she just said registers with Ember. "You, you think my music is good?" Ember to my shock asks Dani weakly. "Told you so." I gloat a little. You would think Ember is this brash confident girl and she is, but she has some self-confidence issues when it comes to her music. "Oh, stick it Baby-pop." She quips. "So, no more trying to kill each other and maybe being friends seeing as your probably going to date one of my best friends?" Ember asks more because she doesn't want to get stuffed in a thermos again but I see some sincerity in there. What I've known her for seven years we know damn near everything about each other. She even told me how she died that was not a fun night. I glance at my phone and notice the time "SHIT! I told my mom I'd be back by 7. I'm dead meat." I exclaim. "Been face to face with Fright Knight, Skulker, hell even Walker and Dragon Dora at the same time, didn't bat an eye. Late coming home to face his moms wraith he shits his pants." Ember teases me. "Hey, don't give me that you've gotten the look from my mom before remember the first time you met Dani?" "Shit, don't remind me about that I've never been so scared in my afterlife." Ember says shuddering at the memory. "I'll see you tomorrow Dani. Ember a little help in making my death less painful?" I ask her, hoping she'll teleport me home. "Hang on." Dani stops us from leaving handing me a piece of paper. "Call me." Dani says as she and Dawn leave. "James has a girlfriend, James has a girlfriend." Ember teases me "You know I stole one of those thermoses off her right?" I threaten "Shutting up now, you're still not living this down." "Just take me home Em, please." I say starting to get annoyed with her. "Don't get your panties in a bunch I'm taking you home." She says as she teleports me home.
Dani's POV: "Dani's got a boyfriend, Dani's got a boyfriend." Dawn teases me "You I almost regret saying you're my daughter." She turns to me and has a look of fear in her eyes almost like I'm going to leave her. "Dawn, I will never let you go I was just joking you are my daughter no matter what." I reassure her as her smile comes back. "So, what made you come look for me?" I ask her. "Because I had a question that you answered when James started calling his friends in the zone." She says with one of the biggest smiles plastered on her face. "Well what was it, just because I poured my heart out and I know what the question is doesn't mean I'm letting you out of asking it." I tell her. "Well, uh, Dani you, shit. I had this all planned how I was gonna ask and now I'm tripping over my words." She says getting mad at herself. "Hey just speak from the heart and I'll do the same ok?" I ask her trying to get her to ask even though I know what she's asking I still want her to ask. "Well, Dani other than Vlad," she says with so much venom in her voice it's not even funny. "I don't really have a family and ever since you helped me the first time around when you helped me I saw you as my mom. Well I want to know if you would be my mom?" She finally asks "Of course I will Dawn. Now give you momma a hug." I tell her and she jumps into my arms. So what I'm only 17 and am going to try and raise a 12-year-old she came from me I can't just let her go.
A/N: Alright so I'm too lazy to edit the first note so I lied when I said I'd have a chapter for Force From the Future done today this one kind of got in the way and I've been stuck on how to bring Vlad in. Alright so on to this story I wanted to write a story where everyone is the same except Danny so that's why Dannielle is still a girl in this story and I'm also too lazy to change things from the show that I don't need to. I might get into what Dani saw and what ran through her mind when she saw James and Skulker fight. I think that's everything for now so, please fav and follow if you think it's good leave a review tell me if I need to improve anything. And sorry for that long paragraph while they we're at Nasty Burger I just wanted to get into James' backstory more. I probably won't have one that long anymore just for reference it's about 2 pages on MS word sorry about that.
