(The song has nothing to do with story)

Author's Notes:

Danny stop thinking to yourself!! (Oh shit I do this too)
Training starts soon yay!
Except... I cant write training or fighting to save my life ;-; fuck

"Wake up Danny! Wake up wake up!" Dani yelled happily shaking Danny awake.

The teen grumbled awake, made a snowball in his right hand and threw it in the general direction that his sister was squealing from. A surprised yelp told him he had hit his mark. He smiled keeping his eyes closed and snuggled further into the bed sheets. Then something wet and extremely cold hit him in the face; she had thrown the snowball back at him.

He let out a short shout and sat up, immediately fully awake and wanting revenge. Danielle had already run out of his room and down the stairs. "Get ready so we can go to Frostbite!" she called as she ran.

Danny rolled his eyes and glanced at the clock. Seven fucking o'clock. He was officially going to kill Dani. 'Geez you would think that it was Christmas or that I had promised to take her to Disney or something.' He thought as he got up, sleepily trudged to his door and closed it. The halfa went to his bathroom, stripped and went to take a shower. He turned on the hot water and was hit in the face with the opposite. He absolutely did not squeal as he backed away from the stream shivering.

"Fan fucking tastic." He waited for the shower to heat up, took a quick shower, and washed his hair. He got out, pulled his hair into a messy bun, put his concealer on, and got dressed at a speed Superman would have been jealous of.  He had gotten used to dressing quickly, considering how people were always bursting into his room, his family, sometimes his friends, and more than often a ghost. He was still flipped out over the time that Ember had phased through the door while he was halfway into his getting his jeans on. He had jumped about a foot into the air, tripped and fallen onto his face (which was crimson red in embarrassment.) He had yelled at Ember for her to leave while he finished getting dressed and she had, just not before making some comment about how he had nice abs for a svelte like him. There was still a scorch in the wall from where Danny's ectoblast had deliberately missed her.

There was no note from Vlad today, but Danny didn't mind, he felt a little guilty of how the man would always be there for him when he had a nightmare, no matter what the time. He didn't have any idea as to how the other was able to know when he had a nightmare, and neither did Vlad. He just simply seemed to know when to show up. The past week Danny hadn't seen Skulker or Technus, much less been attacked by them. He had spent the time goofing off with his friends during the day, and talking with Vlad at night, exchanging little stories. Vlad would tell him about what living Clockwork was like; how the man would occasional reward him by letting him see a football game with the Packers or how he would get in trouble whenever he would try to escape. Danny told stories of how the past three years had been, funny stories and jokes that he had heard from his friends. He sighed as once again his mind reprocessed what the other had told him.

'She only has a small amount of my DNA about eleven percent, but yes she is.'

'So let's review this yet again,' his mind said for about the seven millionth time since Vlad had told him that. 'He's technically Dani's father. Well that makes things so much easier. 'Hi Danielle, how are you doing? Oh I'm great thanks for asking. Oh, by the way I've been hanging out with your dad who's been gone for three years and just reappeared. Yes I've been doing so behind your back. Yeah I know that he's tried to kill me and you multiple times, but that's only because he was technically possessed by an evil ghost that was made out of pure misery. Yes, he is old enough to be my father, but you're technically four and Valerie is seventeen so it's the same thing as you dating her. And hasn't Valerie tried to kill you and me before? I know she was under his orders but still, she wasn't exactly forced to do so.'

"Yeah that'll work," he said to his refection. "Explain it just like that with a shitload of technically's and whatnot. That'll work out perfectly."

'So she has Vlad's DNA but also mine. Would that make her our daughter? She has our combined DNA after all. No, she's my little sister... but technically isn't she my kid too? I mean she has both of our genetics... Fuck, so me and him already have a kid, peachy keen. Even if it's only eleven percent she's still his kid. But genetics doesn't just make someone a 'parent' so to say. But he does seem to care about her so... ugh my head hurts! So my sister who used to be my clone is now my daughter who was made by this guy who used to be in exile for three years. Well that's great. My life is officially fucked up. But not fucked up in a way that's necessarily bad but still, this is normal right.

"Completely normal, well normal for my life."

Dani phased her head through his door. "If you're quite finished with your beauty regimen, you're welcome to join us downstairs." She teased

He gestured to his red shirt with angel wings graphics, faded blue jeans, red sneakers and messy bun. "I would hardly call this a beauty regimen."

"Well you were staring so intently at the mirror."

He crossed his arms. "I was checking for pimples." 

She rolled her eyes. "Just come downstairs already."

"Oh right, I still haven't gotten my revenge on you for throwing that snowball at me." He said walking towards the door with his best scary face.

Dani let out a little fake shriek, got her head out of the door and raced downstairs. He laughed and followed her. She shoved a bowl at him as soon as he walked into the kitchen; it was full of milk and Lucky Charms.

"Eat up." She chirped already digging into her bowl.

His parents weren't up yet but he figured they would be soon after all the commotion that Dani and he had caused. "Wow. I've never seen you this excited for anything before; I wonder if Valerie should be jealous of Frostbite." He said around spoonful's of cereal.

"Smart ass. I was this excited when you told me that this year I would be starting High School." Dani said already finishing her cereal.

Danny rolled his eyes. "It's a miracle you didn't choke. Go brush your teeth."

"Got it mom." She said racing to the bathroom.

'Oh the irony.' He thought continuing to eat. Dani had already finished brushing, transformed and was pacing around in circles by the time he finished eating. He put the bowls in the sink. "You ready?" he asked transforming.

"I was cloned ready!" she stated eyes aglow.

He groaned and resisted the urge to laugh at her pun. "Why oh why did you get my sense of humor?"

"Because the universe hates you." She said laughing.

"That would explain a lot." He mumbled.

"What?"

"Nothing, let's go."

They flew downstairs to the basement and went to the ghost portal. He put the code in the portal. Johnny, Kitty, Ember, Youngblood, and Nocturne knew the passcode so they were able to come and go as they pleased. He had made the passcode so ghosts like Skulker, Technus and Spectra wouldn't be able to use the portal. But natural portals could still open and there was nothing he could do about those. The doors opened and they stepped through the swirling vortex.

"Race ya there!" he yelled and took off.

"Cheater!" she called after him.

Danny won but just barely.
