Dan, Danny, Dani

Summary:

Danny doesn't know how his life turned out this way, honestly. First it was his weird clone - not that Dani is all that odd, that was Vlad, he's deeply weird - then it was his (actually really strange) older self that almost took over the world. He doesn't know why they've decided to just live in his house! He didn't ask them too!

Dan's just here to make up for beating up Danny, and to make sure Danny and Dani don't do anything stupid while Jazz is away. Someone needs to be responsible, even if Dan is only technically older than Danny. It's better than being stuck in a thermos.

Dani's just along for the ride. After being freed from Vlad's grubby hands (full insult intended), she didn't really have a place to go - well, she travels around a bit, but she still wants a place to go home to. So, she's living in Danny's house now!

Or

I'm exploring the relationship between Dan, Danny, and Dani, but they're all (mostly) feral and still getting used to each other's presence

Notes:

Hi! This is my first fanfic ever, so I hope you enjoyed it!

Sorry for any typos or misspellings, sometimes I forget how words are spelled, English is my first language

I started writing this before I actually saw Danny Phantom soooo-

It's fine. I still wanted to explore these relationships, even if I've only read other Danny Phantom fics

I've since seen Danny Phantom, but they all still need to be feral, I've decided

I wrote this in 2024, and am just now getting it out into the wide world because my friend Ven_the_Skelegoat said I should share it

I will be making more of these, sometime...don't expect regular updates I guess? I haven't figured out a posting timeline yet, so, I'll post when I post

Chapter 1: It Begins

Chapter Text

"Dan! Did you eat my food that I left in the fridge, that EXPLICITLY stated my name on it?", Danny called from the kitchen. Dan sighed from his place on the living room couch.

"Was it the leftover Nasty Burger or the taco?", Dan called back. He didn't move from his spot, reading a book.

"How do you know which one was left? How do you know I didn't eat one of them earlier? Suspicious.", Danny hollered back, poking his head back into the refrigerator.

Dan glared into his book before sighing again and turned towards the kitchen, still not getting up.

"I looked in the fridge this morning, saw your EXPLICITLY labeled food, took MY leftovers, then sat down over here to read. Ask Dani, because I didn't touch your food."

Dan could hear Danny muttering, too low for him to hear before Danny's head appeared in the doorway to the living room. "You can't blame Dani, she hasn't even been here for a few days! You know she doesn't stay in one place for very long!", Danny accused.

"Yeah, but YOU didn't see her when she stopped by for and hour just to eat your food.", Dan grumbled back, shooting Danny a glare. Danny's eyes widened before his face scrunched into his own glare.

"She didn't!"

"She totally did! Just because you didn't see her, doesn't mean she doesn't exist."

"That isn't what I meant! I meant the 'she didn't' as an explative showing my anger at the situation, not me refusing the existence of my clone-cousin-sister! Why are you so boring to not even get my angry ranting! UGH!"

Danny started to stomp away towards the stairs, and supposedly his room, after slamming the fridge door closed.

"You do realize you just called your future self boring, right?", Dan couldn't resist shouting back.

"Hey! I'm not as stupid as you, I bet you got your boring stupidness from Vlad, goodness knows that man is a Fruitloop, so maybe his loopy-ness rubbed off on you!"

Dan's face scrunched, his eyes glowing red at the indignity of it all. He closed his book and glared in Danny's direction, turning his torso around.

"Why are you insulting me? I didn't even touch your food, Dani did! And just because I took Plasmius away from Vlad, DOES NOT mean I am Vlad!"

"I didn't call you Vlad, I just said you worked with the Fruitloop brand! And Dani isn't here right now, so I can't get mad at her, and I'm hangry!"

Danny's voice squeaked as he got angrier.

"So I'm just a convenient verbal punching bag, and you decided you would bitch slap it?!", Dan practically has steam billowing out of his ears, he was so mad.

Just then, the front door opened and none other than Dani strolled through, a fresh bag of Nasty Burger in hand.

"Yo, Danny! I felt bad for eating your leftover Nasty B, but it looked like it was about to reanimate, so I ate it... SO I got you lunch!", Dani grinned widely from the doorway, slamming the door shut behind her.

Danny turned to the doorway slowly, his hand on the stair railing splintering. Danny smiled big. It wasn't nice.

"Dani, you ate my EXPLICITLY Labeled food because you thought it was going to REANIMATE?!"

Dani blinked, grin falling before her face scrunched in confusion. "Uh, yeah? Thought you wouldn't want to fight that early in the morning - but I bought you food with my own money that I stole from Vlad!"

Dani tried to defend her reasoning. Danny wasn't convinced.

Danny moved so fast it looked like he teleported, which couldn't be ruled out because of his 'new powers every other day' thing he had going on. He grabbed Dani around her shoulders,"Dani! Everyone knows that Nasty Burgers taste better after a fight! Is all about rewards!"

Danny shook Dani violently, shrieking. Dan huffed and continued reading.
