There's a wide grin on Dani's face as she and Enzo - both in ghost mode and both invisible - pass through her door and into Amity Park.

(There's also a flock of butterflies loose in her stomach, but we won't talk about them)

"Well, here we are!" she exclaims quietly. "Welcome to Amity Park!"

Now it's Enzo's turn to look puzzled.

"Converters? There are Converters in Milliways?" Danny grins in disbelief (though he should know better than to disbelieve anything. "Oh, man, Tucker is gonna geek out so hard..."

"They call themselves 'Transformers', but yeah," Dani replies. "Anyway one of them - Optimus?" she shoots a questioning look at Enzo "invited Enzo to visit their world. And Enzo invited me. So that's why he needs clothes."

"Only I don't know how many to get. How often do Users do laundry?"

Danny looks mildly confused as the conversation switches gears. "Huh? I dunno, it depends! Once a week, maybe?"

Dani looks over at Enzo. "Well, I guess it all depends on how long we're going to be there. Are we staying a whole week?"

"I dunno. I hope so." In retrospect, he should've gotten more information, huh? "I guess I'll get enough for that. I can always use 'em later."

It's the voices coming out of her brother's room that ultimately pull Jazz away from her studies. "Danny?" she asks, poking her head in the door. "Who're you talking to?"

The redhead brightens when she sees Dani, but glances in puzzlement at the boy beside her with the bright green hair. Since when was there a third halfa in Amity Park (well, four if you included Vlad)?

"Jeez, Jazz, knock first!" Ah, well. "Enzo, this is my sister Jasmine; Jazz, this is Dani's boyfriend Enzo, who isn't usually a ghost."

To his credit, he manages to get the word 'boyfriend' out with only a small scowl.

Jazz, on the other hand, is grinning broadly.

"So this is Enzo?" she remarks, taking a step into the room. Then she looks over at her little "sister" as a thought occurs to her. "...I thought you said he lived in a computer or something?"

And Dani? Is blushing.

"Yeah. But someone we know in Milliways was able to turn him into a halfa so he can come through my door."

Enzo nods. "It's so weird being organic! The powers're supercooled, though."

He grins, glancing sidelong at Dani. "What else did she tell you about me?" It better all have been good!

"Let's see," Jazz said, shooting a smug look of her own at Dani.

"Well, she said that you were going to school to be a Guardian, and that you and your family played a big part in getting her stabilized. I think the word 'cute' may have popped up somewhere in conversation as well."

Danny looks like he's going to say something rude at that last part, but he manages to restrict himself to clearing his throat and instead says, "Yeah, they were a lot of help. If they didn't, y'know, debug her, I bet we would've had to use something of Dad's."

FentonTech: brilliant, yes. Trustworthy, not so much.

"Well, at least we won't have to ever find out," Dani says, trying to be the optimist.

"No kidding. We heard him downstairs," he informs the elder Fentons. "What'd he do this time?"

"He's working on some new serum or something; it's supposed to make a ghost weaker. Guess it's not working out the way he'd hoped."

Jazz shrugs.

"I'm not sure if that's good or bad news," Danny sighs.

"Maybe we should exit, just in case."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," agrees Dani. "Before Jack or Maddie decides to come up here for some reason."

She knows she and Enzo can go invisible quickly if they have to, but she doesn't want to come close to being found out. Not yet, anyway.

Maybe, say, when Daddy Dearest is no longer incumbent.

"You sure you want to be wandering around town?" Danny asks warningly. Can't go shopping invisibly, after all. Shoplifting, yes, but he raised her better than... well, okay, he didn't raise her, but you get the idea.

"That's why we stopped by." Dani shoots him her biggest, most innocent-looking grin. "To ask if you would come along."

That's his innocent grin you're wearing, thank you, and he was never that great at it either. "Really."

"Honest!"

Yeah, possibly trying too hard there.

"And...I kinda need some money, too."

"I feel like we're a real family already," he grumbles, digging out his wallet. "Don't you already have clothes?"
