Chapter 3 of "I'M GOIN'..." is done! Here's the AO3 link. Or read it below. (...Or don't read it at all. I'm not your mother. Do what you want....but don't forget to brush your teeth. And get a decent amount of sleep. And brush your hair. And-)

I'M GOIN'... Chapter 3: "Friendship"

Danny went home after a couple long days in the hospital. He was glad to be home. The very first thing he did was run to his bedroom, jump onto his bed, and look up at the stars on his ceiling. He heaved a heavy sigh, naming the stars, looking for his favorite constellations. Maybe things would be back to normal soon.

He was just beginning to believe that things were still normal, that things were safe, when suddenly his arm fell through his bed. A yelp escaped him as he pulled his arm back out of the mattress. "Danny? Are you okay?" Jazz poked her head into his room, her eyebrows knit in concern. "Is something wrong?"

"Everything's fine Jazz." Danny scowled lightly and crossed his arms over his chest. He really hoped that she didn't see anything. "I just want some time alone if you don't mind."

"O–okay." Jazz's eyebrows somehow managed to knit together even tighter. "I'll leave you alone for a bit then." She looked a little hurt, and plenty worried. But Danny didn't really care. He was too caught up in his own panic, because as Jazz left the room, his legs both seemed to vanish.

He stopped himself from screaming, and tried to make his lower-half visible again. The issue was, that Danny didn't know how to control what was happening to him.

Danny was panicking. He changed. He was different. He wasn't himself anymore. There was a flash of white light, and then he was different. He could feel it. See it. And sense it all at once. And he didn't know how to change back.

He was practically touching the ceiling and curling in on himself because he was freaking out.

Then his bedroom door opened. And shut. So quickly he almost didn't notice. There in front of him stood Sam and Tucker, looking concerned.

Danny suddenly turned back to normal, and fell hard on his bed. His panic didn't die down though. "Guys! I….it...just"

"Danny, calm down. It's okay. We're here to help." Tucker sat on Danny's bed, and put a hand on his knee. "Best friends don't leave best friends to deal with sudden mutations on their own." Danny looked over at Sam who nodded her agreement.

"We're not going anywhere."

"W-what am I?" Danny's choice cracked. "I'm not–not completely human anymore. I can–I can tell. I can feel it when I change. So what am I?" Sam and Tucker shared a concerned look.

"We'll have to figure that out together." Tucker scooted closer to Danny, and elbowed him lightly. "I'm sure your parents have something that can tell us what's going on."

"Y-yeah. You're right." Danny nodded.

 

Tucker handed him a small acrylic pin. It looked like a classic alien head, and the bottom said 'out of this world.'

"I thought you were gonna stop with the pins for a while Tuck?"

"After everything that happened, I think this is a justified purchase." Tucker said with a shrug. "Plus Sam brought you a couple things too." Sam stuck her tongue out at Tucker before tossing a plastic shopping bag at Danny.

"Here. For your collection." Danny looked inside and saw four 'Ghostie Energy' cans in bright colors.

"Thanks. You guys rock." Danny smiled softly at his two best friends, and gave Tucker a half-hug. "Let me put these away, then we can raid the fridge downstairs."

Getting downstairs proved to be a slight challenge, when Danny's left leg suddenly fell through the second step. He almost fell all the way down, luckily Sam and Tucker had fast enough reflexes to catch him before any real damage was done.

Danny's parents were both in the kitchen working on some new project. It looked like a handheld computer of some kind. "Hey Dad, we're gonna get some snacks from the fridge and play some video games in the living room, okay?"

"Alright Danno. Just try not to make a mess okay?" Dad looked up from the blueprints he was studying.

"Sure thing Dad." Danny flashed a smile at his Dad as he opened the fridge up.

"Danny, could you Thank your friend for calling an ambulance for you after your accident, for me?" Mom had her goggles pulled down but Danny could still tell she was looking directly at him.

"Okay. Guys my mom says thanks." Danny said distractedly as he grabbed more snack foods from the cabinets.

"No, your other friend. The athletic one." Dad chimed in while writing a note.

"Athletic one?..." Danny almost dropped his armload of snacks when he realized who his parents were talking about. Then it hit him, he realized the one thing he had been trying not to think about. Kwan. Saw everything. Kwan saw what happened to him! "You mean Kwan?" Danny managed to choke out. "He's not really a friend. He was probably here looking for Jazz."

"Still. Make sure to thank him for us." Mom smiled sadly. "I don't know what we would have done if he hadn't called for an ambulance." She shuddered, and Danny nodded.

"Yeah okay." Danny nudged Tucker on the arm and handed him some of the snacks. "We'll be in the living room. We might head back upstairs in a little while though."

"Alright. You kids have fun!" Dad said, with a slightly distracted wave.

————————————

Meanwhile, Kwan tried not to think about everything that had happened at the Fenton's. Over the past few days he had been mainly attempting to pretend that it hadn't happened, and that he has been in no way involved. Although that didn't really happen, because The A-List inadvertently "adopted" Jazz into their group...at least tentatively.

Kwan looked up as Dash entered through his front door, dragging along a slightly confused looking Jazz. "Hey, Kwan." Dash tossed a football softly at him. "You wanna hang? The other girls already packed an entire picnic." Kwan couldn't help but grin at that.

"That sounds great actually. But, when did Star have the time to pack a picnic?" Kwan and Dash both knew that Paulina wouldn't pack anything herself unless she was forced to, and Val was absolute trash in the kitchen. Dash shrugged.

"No clue. 'Lina just called me about half an hour ago, and asked if we could all hang and have a picnic, I said sure, got Jazz, and now I'm grabbing you." Dash grinned as they started making their way toward their usual picnic spot in the park. (Luckily Kwan lived close by.)

As they reached the picnic spot the rest of the girls were all doing their own things. Star was weaving together flower crowns, Paulina was reading a fashion magazine, and Valerie was laying on her back on the picnic blanket, watching the clouds.

"Hey! Did we miss anything exciting?" Kwan skipped a little bit as they got closer.

"Nah. Star made PB&Js for everyone except 'Lina." Val said, sitting up to make room on the picnic blanket.

"No worries though! I made her a very nice sunflower butter and honey sandwich." Star dropped the flower crown she was working on and leaned over to hug Paulina.

"You guys do this kinda thing often then?" Jazz asked as she sat down.

"Not all the time, but whenever we get the chance." Kwan told her, he sat next to her and smiled. "How's your brother doing?" He didn't want to think about all the things that happened, but he did want to make sure that the Fentons were all doing alright.

"He's doing better, thanks for asking. He's back to kicking me out of his room, only talking to his friends. So that's a big plus." Jazz gave a half-hearted shrug.

"I'm so glad things are getting better!" Star beamed. "If you need anyone to talk to, you're welcome to talk with us." As if to prove her point, Star placed the crown she'd been working on, on top of Jazz's head.

Kwan looked over at Dash and Paulina, he knew those two worked hard to make sure the A-List was only the most popular kids in Casper High. Dash looked uneasy, and Paulina looked like she was working out who could possibly be bumped out of the group. While Jazz and Star kept talking about the picnic, Kwan pulled Dash and Paulina aside to discuss it.

"Guys. I think it's fine. We don't have to be an exclusive group. Plus, we all know that Jazz is cool. No one would question her hanging with us." Kwan kept his voice low.

"It's not her that we're concerned about." Dash admitted softly. "Her parents really take her down the social ladder." The football star sighed. "I just don't know if she's got enough to stand on her own in the social climate."

"Plus she's just a tad nerdy." Paulina wrinkled her nose. "We don't want nerds. That takes us from the A-List, to like… the F-List."

"Guys. She isn't that nerdy. Plus we've all needed her help with homework plenty of times." Kwan defended. "She's good at moving between social groups anyway. So we don't have to make her an official A-Lister. We just need to be open to talking with her in public." Dash and Paulina still looked unconvinced. "We have been hanging with her for the past few days already. We brought her along on a picnic for goodness sakes! Get a grip! We're the only ones who care about social standing!" It took everything in him not to yell. Kwan had to stop and take a deep breath, otherwise he might have snapped.

"Kwan. We can let her join peripherally. Anything more than that and...you know how it is." Dash held his hands up in surrender sign of mock surrender.

"Dash. You're my best friend. I would jump off a bridge for you." Kwan narrowed his eyes. "But if you're lying to me. If you don't put your best effort into making this work out. I'll step down and let her take my spot on the A-List." Kwan didn't know where this was coming from, but he did recognize that Jazz needed friends. Especially right now.

"I'll do my best. Let's get back to the picnic and have some fun." Dash lightly punched Kwan on the arm, and Kwan relaxed. He knew Dash would keep his word, he may have overreacted a bit.

Me thinking about Kwan: Is ✨Football✨ a character trait???

Me later, still thinking about Kwan: Football, and sunshine. Those are his only two character traits.

I've finished the first chapter for the second half of my AU. You can find it here on AO3, or read it below.

I'M GOIN'....

Chapter 1: The Accident

It was sunny outside, on the day that changed everything. If things had been just a little different, then everything would be changed completely. But as it was, things could never be changed. Not really. But the sun was shining brightly. It seemed so happy outside. For a while afterwards Danny would resent that. (Why should life go downhill for him, when things were so happy and cheerful outside? It wasn't fair.)

Jazz was out at the library for an emergency "session" with Spike. Jack and Maddie were out running errands for a few hours. Leaving Danny and his friends alone in the house.

They stood in front of the basement door, all three of them looked slightly uneasy. "Come on! It can't be that dangerous!" Tucker gave a small laugh.

"Really Danny, just a peek? Then we can go play video games in the living room?" Sam bounced slightly on the balls of her feet in excitement.

"I dunno guys...my parents usually lock the basement door..." Danny's eyes flitted to the door. "But just trying wouldn't hurt. Right?" Danny reached out and tried the doorknob. It turned easily. "Let's see what all the fuss is about."

The basement was steely and cold. Danny had only been down there a few times on his own, something about the lab made him uneasy. "Guys, don't touch anything. My parents take lab safety seriously, but we still need to be careful." Danny warned. If anything happened, he would be grounded for life. "Just don't touch any of the experiments."

"Hey, look at this!" Sam tossed a spare hazmat suit at Danny and held up her Polaroid camera. "Put it on for a quick picture." Danny held up the suit for her, but refused to put it on.

"Is this the thing?" Tucker asked, standing in front of the big tunnel shape in the middle of the wall.

"Yeah. The Fenton Ghost Portal. That's what I call it anyways. My parents have some long convoluted name for it." Danny stood next to Tucker, looking into the dark metal tunnel. "Sometimes I wonder what it would look like if it worked."

"We should go inside it!" Tucker grinned wildly, looking back and forth between his two best friends. They were not as enthused by the idea as he was. "Come on! Just for a second? We could get some cool pictures!" He sing-songed, poking Sam gently.

At this same moment, Kwan stopped by Fenton Works to drop off a study guide that Jazz had let him borrow. He let himself in, and put the book down on the kitchen table. That's when he noticed the open basement door. And the voices coming from down there. "Come on Danny, maybe just a quick look inside. It couldn't hurt anyone."

"You guys are right. Who knows what kind of stuff could be in there." Kwan recognized the voices as Jazz's brother and his friends. He felt like he was intruding, but he walked to the edge of the basement stairs anyway, and peeked downstairs to see Fenton putting on a suit like his parents and walk into some hole in the wall.

Danny gave one last look to his friends before walking into the Ghost Portal. He took one step, and then promptly tripped on the lip of the portal. He caught himself on the wall, and felt loose wires connecting under his palm. Then all he saw was a bright green light. All he felt was pain.

Sam and Tucker could only stare. Both shocked into silence, surrounded by the sudden green light, and scream of their friend. Distantly Tucker heard someone coming down the basement stairs, but all his focus was on Danny.

After a few heart-stopping moments, Danny came out of the portal. But he looked different. His skin was gray, his hair white, his eyes were glowing green but the whites were black. It took Sam a moment to realize it was her friend. "Danny?"

"I- Sam? Tuck?" Danny's eyes widened and he looked right behind them. "Kwan!?"

Then things moved like someone was fast-forwarding the world. Sam and Tucker turned around to see Kwan standing white-faced in shock. And Danny turned back to normal and collapsed in front of the (now working) Ghost Portal.

Hello, and Welcome back to: Only_In_December Assigns Songs To Chapters Of Her Fics With Literally No Rhyme Or Reason!

Part 3:

All The Stars

Song: "I'm Still Here (Jim's Theme)" From Treasure Planet

....I don't have much to say about this one. It doesn't make a lot of sense. I just think they give off similar vibes......also this song fits Danny really well. So....yeah. That's all I got.

This has been: Only_In_December Assigns Songs To Chapters Of Her Fics With Literally No Rhyme Or Reason!

I'm trying to figure out if I should have Danny mention that Ghosts aren't dead. Because, in my AU they aren't. And...I don't know if I should have him point that out at some point, or just have the kiddos work up to that realization. Like, would Danny pay any attention at all to his parents' theories on ghosts?
