Field Trip Ch. 17

Hey guys. Sorry this took so long. For those of you who are wondering, yes, this is the last chapter. (Sob) I want to thank every one of my reviewers. You all know who you are, but I'm going to put the list at the end. I will not answer the last chapters reviews, but I enjoyed every one. You all have been my inspiration and I thank you for your support. You've made all the moments of writers block go away with your suggestions and encouragement. Thank you.

I have enjoyed writing this immensely. This has helped me with a story I hope to actually publish in the near future. If I do, I'll post the title on my profile.

Disclaimer: This is the last time I'll say it for this book. I don't own Danny Phantom. He's my brother. The only one who owns him is Sam. *wink*

Dannys' eyes opened slowly. The first thing he saw was a white ceiling and blue walls. He blinked. 'Wasn't I just in the Ghost Zone fighting Dan?'

He sat up and stared at his surroundings. The blue walls were covered in NASA and Humpty Dumpty posters. A window was on his left, a door on his right. A desk and swivel chair sat against the wall in front of him with a laptop sitting on the flat surface. A dresser was on the wall between him and the door. The drawers were partially opened, clothes spilling out. A mirror sat on top. More clothes littered the floor around him.

'I'm home? Was that all a dream?' he thought.

This was definitely his room, but how did he get here? He tried to get out of bed, but hissed when his chest and back ached. He gasped and fell back on the bed. Slowly, the teen lifted the covers. He was still wearing his faded and torn jeans, but his shirt was gone, revealing blood stained bandages. Danny groaned. 'Nope. Not a dream.'

The halfa slowly got up, wincing a couple times. He gripped his chest as he placed his feet on the floor and stood up. With stumbling footsteps, he made his way to the door. The door opened without a sound as Danny turned the knob. A soft murmur came from the first floor, words sometimes floating up with it. The halfa used his enhanced hearing to make out what was going on.

"What should we do with it?"

"We could give it to the GIW."

"The Guys in White are idiots. They'd probably let him out."

Danny froze. That sounded like his parents. Were they planning to give him to the Guys in White? They would experiment on him! But what would his parents do? Danny gulped and tried to turn back, but he lost his footing and tumbled down the stairs.

Cries of shock accompanied the loud bangs he had made. "Danny! Sweety, are you ok? Why are you out of bed?" his mother asked worriedly as she helped him off the floor.

Danny didn't answer, just clutched his aching body. He looked into the kitchen to his right. His family, friends and classmates were surrounding the table. In the center of the table was a thermos. Sam got up and walked over to him. "We were discussing what to do with Dan." she said gently.

Danny blinked and nodded. Ok, maybe he over reacted a little. "Definitely shouldn't hand him over to the GIW." he said with a smirk.

Lancer raised an eyebrow. "You heard that? We were whispering, and by the sound of your fall, you were at the top of the stairs."

Danny smiled as he sat down in one of the chairs. "How do you think I heard Valerie and the others when they were trapped at the beginning of this nightmare? As a halfa, I have enhanced hearing."

Out of the corner of his eye, Danny caught a group of girls checking out his exposed muscles, giggling like crazy.

Jack grinned. "That is so cool!" he said excitedly.

Danielle sighed. "Can we get back to the pressing matter of the evil ghost on the table?" she asked.

Danny frowned. Leaning forward, he gingerly picked the metal contraption up. He rotated the device, examining the rivets in the thermos. "I think we should give him back to Clockwork."

Tucker frowned. "You sure, dude? He didn't do a very good job of keeping him contained last time."

"I'm sure. Besides," he chuckled. "I think Clockwork has his reasons."

"Precisely Danny. Your catching on."

Danny turned and grinned. "Hey Clockwork."

All but Sam and Tucker stared in shock at the ghost floating in the doorway. He wore a purple cloak and had several watches adorning his wrists. He also looked like a three-year-old.

"Your the master of time?" Val asked. "Shouldn't you be…" Clockwork shifted into his adult form. "…older?" the huntress finished lamely.

Clockwork chuckled. "I represent the past, present, and future." he said as he became an old man. "I don't really have an age, Valerie Grey."

Valerie opened her mouth. "He knows everything." Danny, Sam, and Tucker said together in a bored tone.

Val's mouth shut.

"You seem to pay attention well." Clockwork said with a smirk.

Danny stood up and held out the thermos to his mentor. The ghost turned into a toddler again and took it with a nod. "I thank you for keeping faith in me, Danny." he said.

Danny smiled. "Well, you have helped me out of some situations, so I guess this is returning the favor."

Clockwork smiled, then placed a hand on the teens shoulder as he became a middle aged man again. He quietly whispered, "You should sleep better now that you've faced what should have never been. And I promise Dan won't escape again."

"Thanks Clockwork."

Then, at a normal volume, "How mad are the Observants?" Danny asked with a chuckle.

Clockwork got a mischievous look and said, "They are not happy with me. But, as I told you before, they don't see time like I do." He winked.

With the press of a button on his staff, there was a swirl of clocks and ticking. When it was all done, Clockwork was gone with the thermos in hand.

Danny turned back to the group in the kitchen. Valerie was wearing a disgruntled look. "You get around the Ghost Zone really well, huh?"

Danny chuckled. "I'm guessing you all want a better explanation." he said.

Everyone nodded. Danny looked over at his friends, cousin, and sister. "You guys think you could help me out?"

The four smiled. "Yup." They said together.

Danny took a deep breath and began his story. "Two years ago, a few weeks after my fourteenth birthday, mom and dad finished the ghost portal…"

Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, and Dani sat on a hill top overlooking the small town they all protected and loved. It was a week after they had all gotten out of the GZ, and things were completely different. Danny was now well respected at Casper High, no one bullied him, Mr. Lancer helped him out with his school work by giving him extra time ect., and nearly every girl was swooning over him. Several had asked him on dates, but he kindly told them he already had a girlfriend. The A-Listers had offered him a spot, but he declined. He had learned his lesson during his other moments of fame. But the three best things to him were that he had the best, brightest, and most beautiful girl as his girlfriend. Sam was enjoying shooting down every other girls hopes of dating Danny, especially Paulina's.

The second was that he now had a little sister.

(Flashback)

Dani yawned as she came down the stairs for breakfast. She blinked when she saw the Fenton family surrounding the table, talking in whispers and writing stuff on a sheet of paper. "What are you doing?" she asked them.

They turned to look at her with large grins. "Planning your room." Jazz said.

"Huh?"

Maddie came over and handed her a folder. The girl opened it and scanned through the very official looking papers. Then she noticed the word adoption on one of the pages. She gasped.

Jack and the two teens came over and smiled. Jack wrapped his arm around his wife and kids. "How would you like to be a Fenton, Dani?" he asked.

"You guys want to adopt me?"

The four nodded. Tears filled Danielle's eyes and she rushed forward. The family hugged each other for what seemed like years. When they finally separated Dani wiped her eyes. "I'd love to be a Fenton." she said.

(End Flashback)

Danny smiled at the memory. The third best thing was that the voice that had been in the back of his mind urging him to do evil was now gone. He slept better and staying out of trouble was easier.

The people from the trip had sworn to keep his secret from the rest of the town. As far as the parents knew, the trip had just gone a little longer than expected because of how thrilling the whole thing was. The GIW was especially kept out of the loop. Danny still shuddered at the thought of their 'painful experiments'.

"Well, things are really different now." Sam said with a smile.

Her and Danny looked at each other and smiled lovingly. Danny had asked her for the class ring he had asked her to hold after his disastrous relationship with Valerie, and the gold ring now set on Sam's left ring-finger.

"I always knew you two lovebirds would get together." Tucker said with a chuckle. He held up a wad of cash. "That's why I got this."

Jazz rolled her eyes. "You can't stop yourself, can you?"

Tucker waggled his eyebrows at her. "Most people just thought they wouldn't have the guts."

Dani grinned mischievously. "I guess we can't call Danny clueless anymore. When are you and Jazz gonna get together, Tuck?"

"WHAT?" They asked together. Blushes crept into their cheeks.

"Maybe we should start calling you two clueless." Danny said wickedly.

"WE AREN'T CLUELESS!" The teens yelled together. "AND WE ARE NOT LOVEBIRDS!"

"Never said you were." Sam said with a smirk. "You just told us you were."

Danny, Dani, and Sam fell over laughing as the poor couple turned deep red.

Clockwork watched the heroes through his time portal and chuckled. 'Some things never change.' he thought.

The image changed to Danny and Sam sitting on a couch with Tucker and Jazz. Three kids were running around laughing. A black haired girl with blue eyes ran through the wall, causing the tan skinned girl with black hair streaked with red and turquoise eyes to run into the wall. The older Danny called out, "Lilith! No using your powers against your cousin!"

The black haired boy with violet eyes grinned. "I'll get her daddy!"

"Thank you David." Sam said.

Jazz and Tucker hugged the girl that had run into the wall. "How's your face Tiffany?" Jazz asked.

The girl looked up and Tucker chuckled. "Still just as beautiful as ever. You got that from your mommy."

Tiffany giggled. The other children came back. "Mommy! Daddy! Aunt Dani is here!"

Dani walked in the room and pulled all three kids into a hug. "How're my favorite nieces and nephew?"

"Hey Dani!" Danny said.

"Hey guys. How's it going?"

"Good. How's Jake?" Jazz asked.

Danielle smiled. "He's doing fine. He proposed yesterday."

Sam grinned. "Did you say yes?"

"Of course." The black haired girl said.

Clockwork turned the screen off and smiled. He looked at the thermos in his hand and smiled. He turned to face the room behind him and opened the device.

Nothing happened.

Clockwork smirked. "All is as it should be."
