Glowing Isnt All That Bad

Maybe glowing isnt all that bad

"Aww you look absolutely adorable!" Maddie cooed as she knotted the bow tie around Danny's neck, causing the young hybrid to gag.

"There," Maddie said. Her hands dropped back to her sides as she took a step back to admire her work.

She was happy to have the young hybrid out of the ratty clothes he had worn last night. She was also happy that the poor boy agreed to shower. She had been hoping that he hadn't found her rude when she asked him to take one before bed last night….

Danny slowly turned to look at himself in the mirror while Maddie was lost in thought. He didn't mind the blue polo that he had on, but he hated the black hooded cardigan sweater that was over it. It was way too constricting just like the pair of skinny jeans he was being forced to wear. Not to mention he couldn't breathe thanks to the deathtrap around his neck, Lord, he hated bow ties!

"Do I really have to wear this?" He pouted, Pulling Maddie from her thoughts.

Maddie pressed her lips together and fixed the young halfa with her infamous evil eye.

"I'm sorry Phantom but it's the only spare clothes we have. I'm just happy that you seem to be the same size as my little boy. It makes all of this easier. Besides he never wears these things, so it's not like he's going to miss them much."

"I can see why he doesn't." Danny murmured under his breath, after all he was fully aware of how much 'Danny Fenton' hated these clothes.

"What was that?" Maddie asked, her mom voice was clearly evident.

Danny when ridged.

"Oh nothing!" He said with a nervous rush as his brain scrambled for an excuse. "I just said that I don't see why he doesn't like them!"

Danny sighed in relief when Maddie bought it.

Accepting defeat he strolled down the steps and into the living room. The Fentons had decided to let him sleep in the guest bedroom last night; they apparently trusted him enough to sleep on the same floor as them now. He grinned at the thought—glad that he was making progress with them—as he grabbed his new back pack off the couch.

"You look very…. Snazzy, Daniel." Clockwork said without lifting his gaze from the book he was reading.

Danny jumped, where the hell did he even come from?

Danny snorted and rolled his eyes, trying to play off the fact that the time ghost had made him jump; though that just seemed to amuse clockwork further. With a scowl, Danny cast a curious glance at the paperback in the time ghost's hands.

"What are you reading?"

"A Clockwork orange, Jasmine suggested it to me after Mr. Thunder and his crew left last night. She was worried that I was going to get bored while everyone was sleeping" Clockwork smirked, clearly finding his sisters gesture to be entertaining as well. "It's actually very engaging; although very gory and graphic…. I normally don't enjoy human literature for such reasons."

Danny raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment any further on the subject as he slipped his backpack over his shoulders and called on his ghost side. Soon a familiar white ring appeared at his waist and split into too, changing him into his ghost form.

Maddie almost fell down the steps, startled by the blinding lights of the transformation; she didn't think she'd ever get used to that.

Danny turned his attention back to Maddie and shot her a look of concern.

"You ok?"

"Of course why wouldn't I be?" she said in a rush, a blush dusting over her cheeks. She was completely embarrassed; here she was, an experienced ghost hunter jumping at an unexpected light show!
