Danny's POV.

Well, I'm terrified. Standing in Clockwork's tower with Sam and Tucker usually made it the most comfortable place in the multiverse, especially knowing my mentor was right here to protect us. But today this meeting was for a dreaded reason, we were going back to the future timeline. The future timeline where I'd become Dan, the timeline that was no longer supposed to exist.

When I beat Dan and fixed the timeline we expected the other to stop existing, apparently we were majorly wrong. Or Clockwork knew perfectly well that this would happen and conveniently decided not to tell us until now, which is most likely the case. It's been two months since I fought my evil future self, and one month since Clockwork became my mentor. Although this was also likely caused by the Observants not trusting me to run amok through the realms without some unlucky soul to guide me.

Approximately three days ago Clockwork ended up warning us all what was going to happen, giving us time to make a barely functional plan. Funnily enough our minds were already shutting down at the time because Valerie put the dots together and realized I'm a halfa. Sure we all knew it was inevitable but it was still terrifying, even with Dani hanging around it was a huge mess. Those two were practically part of "Team Phantom" by now and would be brought here any second thanks to the nifty power of portals.

I had to blink a few times when the constant sound of Tucker's typing stopped, Sam and I glanced over at him as he shouted triumphantly into the towers. Sam raised an unimpressed eyebrow "What did you do we're not even there yet." Tucker held his PDA protectively to his heart and scoffed "Well, Sammykins, the handsome tech master you're looking at just finished the self completing virus that will hack into any database, government or otherwise." Even though Tucker could do this already could sometimes take up to thirty minutes, time we didn't have once the plan was set in motion.

Glancing down at my feet I barely noticed Sam's glare at the use of such a nickname, I responded to the unstated truth "Yeah, we need to get out fast. Everyone there has also had two months, maybe more, to recuperate since Dan was last there to attack them. They've had time to prepare and defend anything and will probably attack the second they realize I'm- well- me..."

A warm hand wormed it's way into my own, squeezing it into my own Sam looked up at me. "We know you're not him Danny, and we'll make sure they see it too. None of this is your fault." Tucker nodded beside us, "Yeah man, come on, you're the one who defeated Dan in the first place. If anything they should be thanking you." A small smile raised on my lips, "Yeah, that's not gonna happen." "We'll see."

In a flash of blue a portal opened up beside us, Clockwork, Elle (Danielle), and Valerie stepped out. Well technically they flew out, because ghosts, and Valerie glided in on her hover board an ecstatic Dani on the back. With a graceful leap Dani, in human form, jumped off of Valerie's board onto me, hugging me tightly. I returned it and managed to stifle a groan of pain as my back was cracked in multiple places from her strength.

"Why hello Danny!" We separated from our hug "And hello Dani", groans circled the group but our smirks held strong. Valerie landed and started muttering "Every time, every damm time. They literally saw each other two days ago." Sam and Tucker nodded with her, clearly suffering. I'd like to say mine and Elle's giggles matched quite deviously.

Clockwork, even through his calm mask, was amused but coughed to draw order back to the group of rambunctious teenagers. "Are all your plans set?" he already knew the answer to that, smug time lord, we all nodded our heads. "Time to go then, remember once you're done I'll bring you back immediately." Bright light expanded in front of us, a pale blue glowing off into the room. Together we walked into the portal.

3rd Person POV.

Meanwhile in a coexisting future timeline the entire worlds human population gathered together, at least metaphorically. It's been two months since any confirmed sighting of the tormentor of their world, Dan Phantom, and some structure of normality could finally return to their lives. All across the world have turned to view their TVs and screens, most communities bartered gathered together to watch the semblance of a new beginning being presented from Amity Park.
