The Other Halfa Danny Phantom: The series

Two Million Dollar Ghosts: Part 4

I float at the meet-up spot Danny and I had agreed upon for patrol, I absent-mindedly look around when Danny's voice catches my attention.

"(s/n)! Hey!"

I turn around and greet him with a wave. "Oh hey, Danny, ready for patrol?" 

"Uh, actually I was wondering if I could ask you a favor?" He almost stutters, twiddling his fingers, causing me to arch an eyebrow in curiosity.

"Sure, what do you need?" 

Danny goes on to explain how he felt bad for Jack and the bad rep he got the other day and wanted us to get caught by him to one make him feel better and two as a silent thank you for making all the weapons that help us fight ghosts.

"I know it's dangerous to do this but if he's down we can't have any more weapons or be able to keep tabs on what's been going on and—" Danny starts rambling in an attempt to convince me when I put my finger over his lips.

I could tell he really just wanted to lift his dad's spirits, and I thought it was sweet so of course, I was gonna help him. 

"Shhh. Danny calm down, I already said I'd help, didn't I?" I state with a smile when he gave me a big bear hug shouting at the top of his lungs a thank you.

Danny and I find Jack sitting at the kitchen table, muttering words of self-doubt to himself.

"Danny's right, I'm a loser. I couldn't catch a ghost if one sprung right up in front of me," Jack grumbles as we pop our heads up from the table, Danny soon waving his arms around.

"Boooooo!" He repeats the action this time adding, 'Fear me!' when Jack doesn't give a reaction. 

Again Jack didn't do anything and I flew up and waved my hand in his face exclaiming, "Hello?! Ghosts! Right in front of ya!" 

"Oh, what do you two want? Come to gawk at the big failure, I suppose." 

I turn to face Danny with an unsure look and he gives me a determined look, balling his hands into fists as he states, "Just the opposite...Jack," He turns his head away mumbling, "Cool, I just called my Dad by his first name."

I rolled my eyes good-naturedly as Jack blinked in confusion.

"You know me?" Jack asks, raising an eyebrow and I continue. 

"We fear you too." 

"That's why we've come to turn ourselves into you," Danny finishes, pointing at Jack with a smile. 

"Ah, no thanks, ghost kids. I'm tired of getting laughed at, I give up." 

"You- You can't do that!" Danny exclaimed, panic laced within his voice when we heard Maddie shout.

"You're darn right he can't!" 

We turn with a panicked expression to see Maddie holding the Ghost Weasel, Mom holding the Nine-Tails, and Dad with an ecto gun. 

"Eat hot Fenton Weasel, ghost scum!" She turns on the machine as we're sucked into the cramped space, screaming. 

"Okay, this wasn't a part of the plan," Danny mutters as he apologizes for all the trouble to me when we hear Maddie address Jack.

 "Jack! You captured the ghost kids!" 

"I did? You're right I did! Me, Jack Fenton! You are the best wife and friends ever!" He exclaims excitedly kissing his wife, hugging his two best friends, grabbing the machine, and heading to the RV as Danny complained. 

"Oh gross! Hello?! We're right here! Hello?!"

Jack speeds through the streets, heading to the drop-off location for the two million dollar bounty as he shouts, "Jack Fenton will show them who the competent ghost hunter is!" 

When we arrived at the destination, we heard Jack hum in confusion.

"Hm, this a funny place to claim a reward..." He trails off as he continues, and I call out to him. 

"Please, stop! You should know what you're getting into here!"

"I know exactly what I'm getting into, a bigger place in my son's heart." 

I resisted the urge to aw, even if we were in a dangerous situation it was sweet how much Jack was trying when I heard Danny let out a sigh as he mumbled to himself.

"Thanks, now I'm crushed by space and guilt," He then starts to call out to his dad. "Look you have to listen to us! All of this is a trap!" 

"Oh please ghost, why should I believe you?" Jack asks when he stops and gasps and we hear the signs of a cage forming around him, and someone clapping as they approach.

"Does that answer your question?" 

"You! The Wisconsin ghost!" We hear Jack shout angrily.

"Plasmius..." Danny and I groan.

"Ah, very good. All the pawns doing exactly what they're supposed to, leaving you three trapped and your Fenton Portal unprotected, so I can steal it and make it a Plasmius portal!"

Danny and I give each other a confused look and Danny speaks up. 

"Wait a minute, you already have a ghost portal!" 

"He has a ghost portal? You have a ghost portal?" Jack asks shifting his attention from us to Plasmius.
