Phantom groaned dramatically. “I know. I’m an embarrassment.”
Dani nodded with a serious expression, “Yeah, you are.”
They were quiet for a few seconds before they both broke out in laughter. Maddie watched the two joyous figures with an increasing sense of dread. They acted just like teenagers, like children.
Maddie and Jack start to notice things in their interactions with Phantom that doesn’t fit in with their exiting theories about ghosts. But they couldn’t be wrong… Could they?

"What are you doing?"
The words cut through the air, sharper than any ectoblasts thrown in their fights. Danny lost the determination he’d managed to wrestle, letting go of his core. Dead eyes looked up at the only person who mirrored them. Seconds ticked by, the two locked in a stalemate of silence. He didn't need to make excuses. They both intimately understood what Danny was attempting to do. Cheapening the situation with a stuttered explanation wasn't worth it.
-
In another universe, Dan is never created. Instead, Vlad and Danny navigate grief, loneliness, and camaraderie.

Inspiration taken from @Home-of-Renn's post here:
"Danny's in his last year of high school, only a month away from graduating. No more overdue assignments or late-night cram sessions. No more crowded hallways and after-school detentions. No more stress.
He's so close he can almost taste it.
But then Dani shows up, injured and whimpering and collapsing into his lap.
He may or may not have scared the daylights out of a few lower years and almost body-slammed Dale trying to get Dani out the door and to the nearest location with first aid supplies. So what if he spent almost an hour holed up with Dani in the nurse's office patching her up while Mr Lancer and the paramedics he called tried to coax him into unlocking the door. So what if his Obsession slipped up after not seeing Dani for more than six months, only to have her show up looking ready to destabilise and melt into a puddle of goo.
The worst part of it all is that suddenly everyone's got the wrong idea."

Casper High's student body isn't stupid. They know something is up with Danny Fenton, and they aren't so blind to not see the scars on his body. They don't know how he's getting them, but the rumors and theories run rampant.
Things rapidly become clear when the GIW gains just enough power to go on a targeted hunt for Phantom.
And they find him--right in the middle of Casper High's cafeteria. A boy with black hair and blue eyes. Their mistake was announcing their intent to zero in solely on Phantom. And Casper High isn't about to let the jerks in white take their ghost boy.
Even if their hero isn't who they thought.

The Crown of Fire and Ring of Rage have long been known as the symbols of the Ghost King's reign. But what most don't realize is that the Crown and Ring aren't just pieces of jewelry to be worn. They have minds and thoughts of their own - and they don't hold back on sharing them, no matter how much it may annoy Pariah Dark! They've somehow grown attached to the ghost boy who dared to challenge him, and they incessantly insist that the whelp isn't getting enough food or sleep for a growing ghost his age.
In an effort to silence their nagging, Pariah decides that something drastic must be done. And as much as he hates to admit it, the boy did show great courage and strength in their battle, qualities that Pariah would hope to see in a potential heir to the throne. Perhaps it was time to kill two birds with one stone, and calm the Crown and Ring's nagging while also settling his court's fears about the future of the Realm if he were ever to be defeated again.
And even he has to admit that the Crown and Ring have a point. The boy had looked awfully skinny.

Danny Phantom died in a lab accident. This is fairly common knowledge, considering his attire, but Maddie didn't make the connection until she overheard him talking about it with some of the other ghosts. Then she notices how much he looks like Danny. How much he sounds like him. How similar their mannerisms are, and their habits, and their sense of humor.
Unfortunately, she still manages to come to some slightly wrong conclusions.

If you had told him how much the second fateful call would hurt, what emotions it would ignite with him, how irreversibly it would alter him, he would have never picked up the first one. But he picked up both and there was no going back.

Danny stared at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. Blue eyes bored into blue. He ignored the dark circles, and the cuts. He just focused on his eyes. His blue eyes. They flared into green and he shut them tightly.
He could do this. He had to do this. After what had happened, he couldn't not do this. He had to know. He had to see what the other ghost had seen.
