Danny Phantom The Reality Screwup

Chapter 3: Glad to Meat You All Again

After the initial shock of learning they were now twins was over, both Danielle and Danny decided they probably shouldn't keep their father waiting. Which for Danielle felt both old and new at the same time.

Both of the twins quickly got dressed for the day. For Danny, it was his usual outfit. For Danielle, she wore a white t-shirt with blue hooded jacket over top along with a pair of red capris. She also wore a pair of short white socks and red converse. Oh! And she could never forget her red beanie for her head. Technically, this was also her usual outfit, but for Dani it felt both new and old at the same time once again.

Honestly, Danielle thought this whole thing was strange. Was it just random happenstance that the gauntlet did this or was there something else at play? She honestly didn't know, but Danny said as soon as they got free time they'd figure this out. Danielle smiled at that. Even in this reality, he cared about her.

After the two got dressed, they left their shared bedroom and walked downstairs to the basement. When they arrived in their parent's basement lab, they saw that Sam and Tucker were indeed there like their father had said. They were sitting in a row of four chairs that were in front of Jack. As for the aforementioned man, he was currently going through some things on a table that was a few feet in front of the chairs. He had yet to see his children enter.

"I wonder what Tucker and Sam think about this," thought Danielle, as she took a seat in one of the two remaining chairs next to her brother, "I wonder... Since Jack.. I mean Dad thinks I'm his daughter.. What do Sam and Tucker think of me? Are we friends like how they are friends with Danny? I.. I hope so."

Unfortunately the twins did not get a chance to say hello to Sam and Tucker as that's when Jack finally noticed that his twin children had joined them. Spinning around from his spot in front of the table, Jack approached the children and asked, "So Danny. Danielle. Both of you and your little friends want to hunt ghosts?"

"Um.. Dad," said Danny, almost taken aback by his dad asking such a question, "I want to be an astronaut."

Going next, Sam said, "Sorry, Mr. Fenton. I was into ghosts but they're so mainstream now. They're like.. Cell phones."

"Waste these looks and all this charisma hunting ghosts," said Tucker, "Criminal."

After Tucker finished speaking, Jack would turn his attention to Danielle, almost as if he was hoping she would want to go into the family business. Danielle, though, would take a gulp of air and rub the back of her head awkwardly. She honestly didn't know what she wanted to do... Or did she? As she thought about what she wanted to do in future, some thoughts came to the forefront of her mind.

"Dad.. I want to be a rocket scientist," said Danielle, "I want to be the one to design the space ships that Danny uses to go up into space." As Danielle spoke, she would see Danny would look at her with surprise. And honestly she was surprised by it too, but it was the truth. At least she thought it was. Was this also something the gauntlet affected?

"Well if you do want to hunt ghosts," Jack said, returning his attention to all four kids and seeming to ignore what they said, "There are a few things you will need to learn." As he finished speaking, Jack would turn once again to the table behind him and begin to rummage through the stuff sitting on it.

As he did all four children would look at each other for a moment before Danny and Danielle's ghost sense went off. "Oh no," said Danny, as he looked at the Fenton portal.

"This... Isn't good," Danielle finished, and almost immediately after they said that the Fenton Portal opened and two squid-like ghosts emerged from it.

Before either twin could react, the ghosts grabbed Tucker and Sam with their tentacles and lifted them from their chairs. Reacting quickly, both Danny and Danielle stood up and prepared themselves to face the ghosts.
