100Okay, I realized that when giving hints in the last chapter for Tucker's and Sam's powers that I should have given two more hints for Sam's power they will be in a scene in this chapter, with one being rather obvious, also my one-shots/challenges fic is out, so go check them and if you're interested try one. Also, I'll be going back and fixing some stuff in this fic, like calling Maddie's eyes aqua instead of purple, fixing heights for the dragons, some punctuation stuff, and adding in proper line breaks, tell me if you see anything needing correcting.

A Party, Talks, Friends, a Took, and Phantom Beginnings Part 2 (Kanna's first day at school, and Spooking Time)
*Thwip* *fwish* *Thwip* *Fwish*
"Good shot grandma," Sam said wide-eyed, holding a deck of cards that was almost empty, while looking at a hat that was about fifty feet away.
"It's mostly in the wrist bubeleh, but it requires some strength, skill, and math as well," Ida grinned, holding her own equally as empty deck.
"Points are at Black (Sam): 136, Red (Ida): 208," said a brunette man in a butler's outfit.
"Mom, what are you and Sam doing?" Sam's father asked.
"Oh, just playing a game I used to play a while ago," Ida responded, gesturing to their overly large backyard that currently had seven hats with the hats being spaced at five, seven-and-a-half, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, and fifty feet away (1), with the first and second hats having a large amount of cards around them.
*Thwip* "My card is a ten," Ida said, before with a *Fwish* it was thrown to the hat twenty-five feet away, with it landing in.
"Mine is a king," Sam stated, tossing hers towards the hat seven-and-a-half feet away, with it just barely getting in.
"Points are at Black (Sam): 156.5, Red (Ida): 258," the butler verbalized, somewhat bored.
"Why are you doing this?" Jeremy questioned.
"I got bored, there are no good shows on right now," she answered, "My last is a ten," it landed safely in the ten-foot hat after being tossed.
"Mine is a king," Sam said. Looking at the hats, she decided to go big or go home, tossing it towards the fifty-foot hat, landing on the edge. It stood there for a second before falling in.
"Game over, final points are Black (Sam): 234.5, Red (Ida): 278," the butler announced, before going off to do some work around the mansion.
"This is a cool game grandma, dad, I know you don't like Danny's parents, but they've adopted a little girl and hired a live-in maid and are throwing them a welcoming party later tonight, so I'll be back late," Sam told her dad, leaving before he was able to give a response.
"I'll go with her, don't worry," Ida told her son, before scootering away.
All Jeremy could say in response was "The Fentons can hire a maid?"
(10 Minutes later, Sam's room, Manson Mansion)
Going into her room, which was dark, gloomy, and full of occult stuff her parents didn't understand nor approve, Sam got on her computer and began to type away.
"Okay, need to find a private detective, I don't trust that new 'maid' of theirs," Sam spoke to herself.
After a few minutes of searching, she found one that had a good reputation for getting the job done, and for a price that wouldn't cause her parents to question what she spent the money on from the credit card they gave her.
Sending off an email she began to think, 'Why would someone that beautiful want to work for the Fenton's when they could easily be a model, or even a baby momma for some rich douche canoe, she wants something, I don't know what it is, but I'll do whatever it takes to expose that harpy and protect Danny and his family.'
Hearing her PC give off its dark and spooky notification sound, she opened her email and she smiled upon seeing the detective agree to take the case.
'Good luck blondie, your days are numbered, and when you're exposed, Danny will thank me,' she thought to herself before getting up and leaving her room.
(Last night, outside the Foley Household)
"I did some background checks on the Fenton parents like you asked, the parents really are just obsessed with ghosts, aside from their eccentricities, they are just normal people, still though, the Justice League and I will keep an eye on them," a man wearing a black cowl with white eyes, grey spandex with a black bat symbol, and a black cape said.
"Thanks Batman, we'll keep an eye on them for the next few days while Richie and I are here," Virgil whispered into a rectangular grey device that showed Batman's masked face.
"Batman out," Batman said before the communicator shut off.
Pocketing the communicator that the Justice League gave him in case of another of their rouges like the Toyman appearing, Virgil walked back inside the Foley Household and sat down at the extended table.
"So, what did your sister want Virgil?" Richie asked him.
"Nothing much, just wanted me to get her some souvenirs from the most haunted place in North America," Virgil shrugged.
After dinner everyone went off to do their own thing, the grown-up Foley men going to Maurice's personal office to look up financial tips to get the most out of their paychecks, Tucker's mom going to watch some streaming shows about serial killers, and the three teens to play some Super Smash Bros.
Though, as Tucker (who was playing as Bayonetta) was trying to beat Richie (who was playing as Ike) after they both beat Virgil, something odd occurred.
'This dust is really chaffing my rubber, when is the kid in the beret going to give me a deep cleaning?' a voice spoke Tucker's head.
"What?" Tucker asked looking around his room, a little weirded out from what he heard.
"GAME!" came the voice of the Smash Bros announcer.
"Aw man," Tucker moaned in dismay seeing he had lost.
"You okay Tuck, you looked a little freaked out there at the end?" Virgil asked.
"Yeah, just thought I heard someone say something about rubber chaffing them and needing to be cleaned or something," Tucker told them, hoping he wasn't going crazy.
"I didn't hear anything, you Richie?" Virgi asked.
"No, I didn't hear anyone," Richie responded, giving Virgil a meaningful look.
Virgil nodded and told Tucker, "Maybe you're just tired man, those headaches don't seem to be going away, perhaps going to bed early would help with those."
"Probably, it is about time for me to hit the hay anyway, unlike you two I've got school tomorrow," Tucker said before yawning
(3 Hours later, Foley Household Living Room 1 A.M.)
Having confirmed that everyone else in the house was asleep, Virgil and Richie began to quietly converse with one another.
"So, you think my cousin might be becoming a Bang Baby Virgil?" Richie asked.
"More than likely, kind of weird how it took you so long to develop powers but just being near both of us for not even a week and Tucker is already developing his own, probably some kind of Kinesis-based power with a Pathy-based power based on his headaches, and the fact he heard something without us hearing it," Virgil responded.
"Exactly what I was thinking, but there aren't many powers with those two suffixes that go well together, either way, we'll have to tell him that we're Static Shock and Gear and start training him once they start showing up, so he doesn't cause issues by accident," Richie stated.
"Yeah, good idea, and once we get an idea of what his powers are we should probably get him his own costume, provided his powers don't allow him to make his own," Virgil suggested.
"For sure, we should probably go to sleep though, no need to be tired in case Static and Gear are needed," Richie said before they both went to bed.
(Fenton Household, Monday 12:10 P.M.)
"Mr. And Mrs. Fenton, I would like to invite two of my friends to the party tonight," Tohru requested her employers.
"Tohru, you're not officially hired until tomorrow, and even then, when you're off the clock just call us Jack and Maddie, and yes, you can invite your friends, just tell us if they agree to come so we can adjust the amount of snacks we'll be setting out later," Jack agreed, before going back to work on a piece of the ghost portal that was on the kitchen table.
Going to the phone Tohru cast a magic circle just above it, before picking it up and speaking into it.
"Hello, Lucoa, can you hear me?" Tohru asked into the phone.
"Tohru is that you, are you okay?" Lucoa asked in worry.
'Good, using this device with magic makes it easier to talk to others over an extreme distance,' Tohru thought to herself.
"Yeah, I'm okay, in fact I want to invite you to what my employers call a 'house-warming party' to celebrate me moving into their home to work as a live-in maid for their family tonight," Tohru explained.
"You're working as a maid?" Lucoa asked, a bit of disbelief in her voice.
"Yeah, for humans too, I never saw myself working for humans ever," Tohru verbalized.
"Really, well then, I'll show up, what time?" questioned Lucoa.
"7 P.M. tonight, oh and just to let you know, we are in another world, just track my magical signature from this spell," Tohru told her.
Hanging up Tohru set the phone down for a few moments before picking it up to contact someone else.
"Hello Fafnir, how are you doing?" Tohru questioned.
"Tohru, nice to hear from you, how are you doing?" Fafnir asked.
Tohru answered in the positive before inviting Fafnir over for the party, with Fafnir agreeing to come over after a bit of prodding.
Going back to Jack Tohru told him that both Fafnir and Lucoa would be showing up, getting a thumbs up from Jack.
"Now to put this piece onto the Ghost Portal then time to start buying snacks and drinks for the party," Jack said, heading down into the basement.
(Fenton Household, Monday, 6:55 P.M.)
"Okay, all the snacks and drinks have been laid out, the TV is setup for games and music, coasters are set out with paper plates, all we need now ar-" *Ding-dong-ding* Maddie began, before the doorbell interrupted her.
"I'll get that," Jazz spoke up.
Opening the door Jazz was greeted by a sight that made her pause.
At the door was a 6'0 tall fair-skinned woman with two horns coming from the sides of her head with blonde hair that faded to green before turning turquoise at the tips that went down to her hips, wearing a pink cap with her horns looking like it was coming out of it, a black tank top, jean short shorts, black stockings, and pink and white shoes.
While that wasn't exactly an unusual sight to see, what was unusual was the woman's breasts, they were, by Jazz's speedy calculations, somewhere between G and H-cup.
"This is the Fenton residence, right?" The unnamed woman asked.
"Uh, may I know who you are?" Jazz questioned.
"My name is Lucoa, Tohru's friend," the now named Lucoa answered.
"Then come on in," Jazz replied stepping aside to let Lucoa in.
As Lucoa walked in, her breasts bounced and jiggled, signaling to Jazz that Lucoa was not wearing a bra.
Jazz resisted the urge to sigh, it seemed to be two for two that female dragon's past puberty did not know what bras were.
Closing the door Jazz walked into the living room, only for someone to knock on the door.
"I'll get that, it might be Fafnir," Tohru said.
Opening the door, she saw a bulky purple creature with two horns, red eyes, and a multi-row fanged mouth.
Quickly getting out the door and ignoring the others inside who were peaking around the corner, she began to talk to Fafnir.
"You can't look like that," Tohru began, getting out a smartphone that the Fenton parents bought her, "here, change your appearance to look like this guy."
With a sigh that was filled with annoyance he looked at the picture and was covered in in smoke that was partially a noxious green color, before he changed into a red-eyed handsome young man with hip-length black hair that was loosely tied into a ponytail with his bangs covering his right eye, wearing a butler's outfit with a mail coach cravat tie and small glasses on the ridge of his nose.
"I hate this and everything it stands for, kill me," Fafnir said before his glare sharpened, "I'm already dead inside."
Everyone aside from Kanna, Tohru, and Lucoa shivered from the sheer hostile aura he radiated.
Upon noticing how the humans were Tohru suggested that they all go to the living room and do something fun.
"How about we play some Mario Party Superstars while we wait for the rest of the partiers to come?" Danny asked, trying to end the tension.
"That sounds good," Tohru agreed.
About 5 minutes later the doorbell went off again.
"I'll get it, oh dad, can you help me, Sam said she was bringing her grandmother," Danny said then asked his father.
"Sure," Jack responded.
Opening the front door, they were greeted by the sight of Tucker, Sam, Virgil, Richie, and Ida.
"Hey Danny, how's everything going?" Tucker asked.
"Good so far, just be careful of Fafnir, the one with long black hair, he doesn't like people much," Danny warned them, "also Tucker, please don't make a fool of yourself to Lucoa, the blonde whose hair goes to turquoise then green."
"Why?" Tucker asked, before every non-Fenton's eyes widened from Danny making motions of how big Lucoa's breasts are.
"Wait really?" Tucker asked, bewildered at someone having such a huge breast size, before hearing a car stop behind him and a door open.
"Now Chloe, when the party is over, please call and I'll come pick you up, I'm sorry I won't be able to spend time with you, but there is a company emergency that needs my attention," a tall somewhat familiar looking blonde man said to Chloe.
"Okay papa, see you later!" Chloe cheerfully said, waving to her father as he left.
"So, you're the Chloe Kanna has been talking about huh?" Jack questioned, "Well Kanna is inside, you kids go on in, I'll help Sam's grandma into the house."
"Okay Mr. Fenton," Richie replied.
A few minutes later Jack had gotten Ida inside, "Thank you Mr. Fenton, you're a sweetheart," Ida thanked Jack with a smile.
"You're welcome Mrs. Manson, honestly, it was no issue," Jack spoke, a smile on his face.
While Ida was smiling on the outside, she began to mentally fortify herself for meeting those who possessed such strong magical power in the house that even with her limited capabilities she could sense them. When she entered the living room, she internally screamed. She recognized three of the four dragons from the physical descriptions of their human appearances given to her long ago: Quetzalcoatl (more commonly known as Lucoa) with multi-colored hair and bustiness, the Kamui heiress with white-lavender colored hair and blue eyes, and the Princess of Destruction with blonde-to-orange hair and central heterochromia eyes.
Lucoa and the Kamui heiress didn't really frighten her that much, as Lucoa wasn't a fighter, and Kanna was more of a prankster.
The two that truly frightened her were Fafnir and Tohru. Fafnir, for his ruthlessness in acquiring treasure and causing disturbing curses that often-made others vomit just from hearing stories about them. Tohru frightened her by having laid waste to many fortresses that tested her patience, such as an Elven fortress Ida had personally seen the remains of.
So, upon seeing those two, she began to internally scream so loud, she wouldn't be surprised if Superman could hear it.
"Well, all these people look lovely having fun, who is your new maid?" Ida asked.
"Oh, it's Tohru over there," Jack replied, causing Ida's internal screaming to get louder.
(Meanwhile with Tohru)
"So, someone threw boiling liquid at Danny, and you didn't instantly vaporize them?" Lucoa questioned, seeing it as out of character for her younger friend.
"Well, when I was traveling with Elma, I learned pretty quickly that non-dragons particularly disliked sudden and violent deaths for any offense," Tohru explained.
"Fair enough," Lucoa agreed, "so, how long until you think you can get into his pants?"
This question caused Tohru to blush, much to Lucoa's enjoyment, before Tohru shook her head, "Probably not until a few years from now, he's still young, and his sister has suggested that I get to know him more first."
"So, Tohru, where exactly are you from?" Sam came up and asked, trying to seem nonchalant.
"From New York, specifically Manhattan, I was homeschooled my entire life, after getting my diploma early I decided that I wanted a change in scenery and moved here," Tohru answered with a lie based on the papers that Mr. Took gave her.
"What's it like living in New York, my parents thought about moving there before settling on here," Sam continued to question.
"Very noisy, messy, and smelly especially after a rainstorm," Tohru continued to answer Sam's interrogation, a brow starting to twitch.
"So, how were your plants, did you need to replant some of them? Lucoa here is an expert on plants if you need any help," Tohru gestured to Lucoa, trying to get Sam to stop bugging her.
"They're fine, one of my venus fly traps got a little bruised, but nothing a little care won't fix, it should be fine in a few days," Sam answered, her voice starting to gain an edge.
"Well, I know quite a bit of plant care thanks to my background with agriculture, maybe I can help?" Lucoa asked, leaning towards Sam and unintentionally making her breasts jiggle in Sam's face.
Sam's eye just twitched at the massive breasts near her face, "no, it's okay, I've already done what's needed, at most I'll need to get a new one," Sam responded, clenching her teeth.
"Hey Sam, it's your turn on Mario Party Superstars," Danny came and told her.
"I'm good, I want to learn about To-" Sam begam only to be interrupted by Kanna.
"Please, I want some new friends to play with," Kanna came up and begged her, eyes wide and tears beginning to appear.
Sam tried to resist, she really did, but when Kanna added a quivering lip, her resistance was reduced to atoms.
"Okay, let's play," Sam sighed defeatedly, going to the couch.
Kanna gave Tohru a thumbs up that Danny didn't catch.
"So, you're Danny, Tohru here was telling me about how you saved her," Lucoa said.
"It was nothing, honestly if she didn't come here, I would have assumed it was all a dream if I remembered it at all," Danny responded, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly.
"It wasn't nothing, Tohru is one of my best friends, so how about I grant you one boon?" Lucoa offered.
"A boon? I thought only deities could do that kind of stuff," Danny responded in puzzlement.
"Oh, I'm an ex-goddess, I can still grant boons, they just won't be as good if I was still one," Lucoa casually answered.
"Yeah, Lucoa here was a goddess until she got drunk one time and-" was as far as Tohru got before a flustered Lucoa clasped her hands over Tohru's mouth.
"L-let's not talk about that okay, so Danny, what do you want?" Lucoa shakily asked.
Deciding to ignore what was about to be an extremely embarrassing secret spilled out, Danny decided to think for a bit before answering, "I would actually like a better reading speed and comprehension and be better at memorizing stuff."
Lucoa looked a little puzzled at his request, "but don't you want magical power, infinite knowledge, or even wealth so vast that no one in the next one thousand years could even come close to that level of wealth."
"Magical power seems nice, but I would need to learn spells and how to control the energy which would take time away from being able to get the grades needed for my dream job. While infinite knowledge is tempting, unless you have a way for me to not forget it soon afterwards or shutting down and dying because of information overload, it would not be worth it, especially if I get kidnapped for my knowledge. My parents are already wealthy enough so I don't have a need for money, also that much money might break the economy," Danny responded.
Lucoa just gave a small pout at not being able to flex her powers as mightily as she wanted before tapping Danny on his forehead, "there you go, you have a better reading speed and comprehension, and better memorization,"
'Huh, I was expecting more flashiness, but I'm glad there wasn't any' Danny thought, as he read about deities being very flashy when granting a boon.
'Danny has a decent amount of magical power for a human, not the largest amount I've sensed a human have by a long shot, but he is definitely in the top fifty thousand,' Lucoa thought to herself.
"Thanks," Danny said.
(Meanwhile a little bit before with Fafnir)
Fafnir was watching these humans play this game and have fun, it looked fun to him, but the coloration was a little bright for his tastes.
"May I have a turn soon?" he asked aloud.
"Yeah, this board ends soon, and I want to get some chips and hot dogs," Richie replied, a little hungry.
"I'll get some as well, Sam hasn't played yet, so I'll get her," Danny stated, setting his controller down as he played his last die, knowing that he would get third place.
As Fafnir chose his character (Donkey Kong) Tucker began to speak from behind the couch, "If you like this game, then let me tell you there are a lot more games out there that can give you a sense of accomplishment and are a lot better, like Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Elden Ring, et cetera, and if you're particularly good you can do let's plays of video games and make money from it, though you need to do something to stand out now as there are a ton of people doing let's plays, you have the look of a gentlemanly assassin so perhaps you can make that your gimmick, especially if you become a Vtuber."
That got Fafnir thinking, play fun games while making money? Without leaving his home? Maybe this world IS better than his.
"Hmmm," Sam grunted, picking up Danny's controller and selecting Birdo, while Kanna selected Yoshi, while Virgil handed his controller to Chloe then getting up and walking towards the three eldest Fentons and Ida.
"Sam, do you think Fafnir could possibly be a good Youtuber, if not a Vtuber?" Tucker questioned her.
"I don't know, if he can deal with idiots and trolls on a near constant basis, then maybe," Sam replied, shrugging.
"Good point," Tucker agreed.
That made Fafnir begin to think about whether he would move to this world, eh, he just might anyways.
(With the three eldest Fentons and Ida)
"I'll be honest, I didn't think we'd ever hire a maid, but when Jack and I heard that she had been robbed and that Danny saved her from being hit by a bus, we just had to take her in, but having heard that she graduated early, we decided to hire her at a generous rate of twenty-five dollars an hour, give her a whole month of paid time-off, and another whole month of paid sick leave," Maddie lied through her teeth to Ida, who had asked why they hired Tohru.
Jack nodded along; he would have told the lie himself, but Maddie had the better poker face, something he learned when they started their special once-a-month poker nights that resulted in Maddie becoming pregnant with Jazz before they were married, something that tore Jazz up when she did the math on her conception as she at first believed that they got married because of her, but he and Maddie made sure to tell her that they were already engaged, her coming along just sped up those plans.
"I was surprised to learn that we were that rich, we just live so modestly that I didn't really think about it," Jazz said, still finding it weird that her family was rich, and she didn't put it together despite all the obvious signs.
"Well, did you do a thorough background check on her?" Ida asked.
"Yeah, the only issues she had was sometimes not completing her homework on time, but other than that she had a good record," Maddie answered.
While they were talking, Ida was using her magic to sense if the Fentons were under a mind control or illusion spell. She wasn't any good at magical abilities without a focus of some kind, and even then, her magical abilities were still very below average for her lineage (something that Sam had unfortunately inherited), so much so that even if she had a high-class focus, she could only cast the most basic of spells a total of twenty-five times a day, depending on which spell it was. Without a focus she could only sense magic from a distance of about five feet, and even then, it must not be obstructed unless it was a lot. Luckily her family was around for a long time and built up an impressive collection of treasure from past victories and buying things, allowing her to find a way to use her magic in a way that worked with her low pool of magical energy.
She was very confused by the fact that she did not sense a single drop of foreign magic on them. She decided to not look a gift horse in the mouth.
"Judging from the way that she's looking at Danny, I'd say that she has an interest in him, you sure you want your son to get into a relationship with your maid?" Ida continued to question, finding it a little weird that a dragon would want to be in a relationship with a human, it has happened before, but it is extremely rare, mostly because it ended in tragedy before it got far.
That and she wanted her granddaughter to get with the boy Sam had a crush on, but not being able to get in a relationship with her crush would teach Sam the importance of taking an opportunity when it appears, after all Danny was (and still is to her knowledge) single for the last three years that Sam had a crush on Danny, but that might not be the case soon, as she could tell that the newly hired maid has a genuine interest in Danny, and when a dragon wants something, they tend to go after it with a fervor.
That was when Virgil walked up to them, "excuse me, where's the restroom?"
"Up the stairs, second door on the right," Jazz responded, giving Virgil a once over, finding him to be at least a little cute, but ultimately not her type.
"I think I'll go talk with Lucoa," Jazz stated, walking over to Lucoa, seeing Tohru walk over to the snack table.
"So Lucoa, what was Tohru like when she was younger?" Jazz questioned.
"She was very adventurous, always wanting to go out and see the world, she was also very protective over what she considered hers, why I remember visiting her father once for a discussion and saw her beating a boy twice her age for attempting to steal her favorite toy," Lucoa explained with a laugh, before Tohru rushed over and put one of her hands around Lucoa's mouth, an embarred blush on her face.
"N-now come on, that was a long time ago, I've matured since then," Tohru said shakily, face red, while Jazz smirked.
"Hey Lucoa, anytime you're in town and Tohru is not around, tell me more stories of Tohru when she was younger," Jazz said, grinning.
"Please don't, I will make your favorite food whenever you want Lucoa" Tohru practically begged, hands clasped.
"I'll think about it," Lucoa teased.
(With Virgil)
After having used the restroom, Virgil snuck back down the stairs, and after seeing that no one was paying attention, snuck into the basement of the Fenton household.
"Okay, while I shouldn't be doing this, and Batman has probably hacked their computers for the schematics by now, but with the abundance of hackers and super hackers out there, they might have physical schematics instead to make sure that no one can steal their ideas for their own," Virgil whispered to himself, taking out the communication device given to him by the Justice League.
Going over to a metal dresser Virgil opened the top drawer carefully, before closing it as it was full of an assortment of screws, nuts, and wires. The second just had some tools. The third one though, had blueprints.
But he needed to be quick, so he looked and found the blueprints to the Ghost Portal, and quickly snapped a picture of them and sent them to Batman.
Then he headed back to the party with no one the wiser to what happened.
(With Jazz and Lucoa)
"So Lucoa, I have a few questions, some about you, and some more about Tohru," Jazz said, looking at Tohru who was dragged away to play Mario Party Superstars with Jack, Maddie and Ida, while Kanna and Chloe bugged Sam to keep her away from Danny, and Fafnir at the snack table with Richie, and Tucker with Virgil joining them.
"I'll tell you and your parents all about Tohru when she isn't around, don't want her to ruin my fun," Lucoa responded with a giggle, leaning into Jazz's personal space, her breasts jiggling, causing Jazz to look at them then blush and look away.
"But you can ask about me all you want Jazz," Lucoa teasingly winked with a husky whisper, causing Jazz to blush more.
"W-well, I was w-wandering about your n-name, it seems more like a n-nickname than an a-actual one," Jazz stuttered through her words.
"It is a nickname, one that I have those I call my friends and family call me, as it's cuter than my actual name," Lucoa responded.
"Oh, what is your real name then?" Jazz questioned her.
"My real name is Quetzalcoatl," Lucao answered, shocking Jazz.
"Wait, really, but in the myths we have here on earth you are depicted as a man, were they wrong, or do you possess the ability to change your biological sex at will?" Jazz began to question.
"Well, I can change my biological sex at will and even be in-between, both, or neither, but I prefer this form, it being my natural one, but as to why I was depicted as a man, well, I just wanted to experience what it would be like to be one for a bit," Lucoa explained.
"Oh," Jazz went, surprised at such a mundane answer.
"I'm guessing by your tone that you either don't believe me, or are surprised by such a mundane answer," Lucoa said casually, before leaning into Jazz's ears and whispering saucily, "Well, if it's the former, I can give you a private showing, if you want."
"N-n-no, that's okay, I believe you," Jazz said shakily, blushing all the while.
Just then Maddie's phone went off, signaling that it was 8'oclock and the end of the party, "Everyone the party is over, so please head home, those too young can stay behind a little bit longer until their parents show up," the Fenton Matriarch said.
"Thanks for the party, Mrs. F," Virgil said, walking out the door with Tucker and Richie.
"It was really nice to meet you and Richie Virgil, have a good rest of your time here in Amity Park," Maddie replied.
"Kanna is a lovely child, she has a bright future," Ida said, Sam following her with Jack coming not too soon after to help Ida down the stairs.
"Thank you, Ida," Maddie said.
"Lovely party, Tohru picked a good family to work for," Lucoa complimented, before sending a wink Jazz's way, causing Jazz to blush madly.
"Thank you," Maddie said, making sure to use this to tease Jazz with later.
"Thanks for having me," Fafnir said a little rudely, but less threatening than earlier.
Ten minutes later Chloe's dad arrived and picked up Chloe, "Thank you for having my daughter over," Chloe's dad said, holding his tired daughter in his arms as it was now about 8:10 P.M.
Chloe's dad was a blonde man in his mid-forties standing at six feet and four inches, grey streaked dirty-blonde hair tied into a loose ponytail that ended just below his shoulders, a goatee that was as blonde as his hair, and right now he was wearing a black three-piece suit with a blue shirt and black tie.
"It was nothing, she's a lovely friend to Kanna, in fact if she and Kanna want a sleep over, they're free to have one," Jack said.
"Thank you, I'm afraid she doesn't have many real friends, so this would be a blessing," Chloe's dad said, smiling a bit.
"I haven't gotten your name Mr.?" Jack asked, extending his hand for a handshake.
"Baxter, Barron Baxter," Barron answered, shaking Jack's hand with a shaky smile.
"Wait, are you the father of that kid who helped to turn Star and Kwan into bullies that broke their friendship with my son?" Jack asked, his smile becoming a frown.
With a sigh, the man answered, "Yeah, I've been trying to get Dash out of his bullying mindset, but unfortunately his and Chloe's mother has been undermining my attempts, I've been selling off properties we bought after the marriage with the exception of one house and putting the money from those sales into an account for her and my son, so that when I divorce her she won't be able to take much in alimony as I feel that she'll fight tooth and nail to keep him, thankfully the home we're living in now is one I owned before the marriage," (2) Barron said, knowing that Chloe learned six months ago that he has been planning on doing so for the last two years, but was helping him keep it a secret from the entitled Baxters.
"Well, your daughter is a much better person than your son, I guess it couldn't hurt," Jack said, hoping he wasn't making a mistake.
"All I ask for is a chance, not for me, but for Chloe," Barron said, before leaving with his daughter in his arms.
"Well kids, it's time for bed, you need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow, especially you Kanna for your first day of school tomorrow," Maddie said, heading up the stairs.
Everyone gave their good nights and headed off to bed.
(Tuesday, Casper High School, 8 A.M.)
"Okay class, before we begin math, we have an announcement, because of a lack of funding for the Football Team, it was decided that the Astronomy Club would be shut down so it's funds can go to the Football Team, but if we sell enough tickets, it can be brought back before the end of the semester," Mr. Lancer, a man with forest green eyes, a large gut, bald head, well-kempt beard, wearing a light blue polo-shirt, black tie, and grey slacks, said with a frown on his face at the thought that a club had to be shut down for the Football Team.
Danny just groaned at that information, the one after school extracurricular he actually wanted to join was shut down, "Great, I forgot to make myself lunch for today, and now this."
Out of the corner of his eyes he saw Dash, a boy his age wearing a varsity football jacket, a black shirt, and blue jeans with buzzcut blonde hair and baby blue eyes, grinning at him while waving condescendingly.
Danny glared at him, knowing that Dash had something to do with it.
(Later, Lunch time)
Opening his locker, Danny put his textbooks up, "Man, I'm not looking forward to lunch today, I cannot stand the chicken patties here," Danny said to Sam and Tucker with a shudder, "too soggy."
"Oh, come on Danny, it's not that bad," Tucker said in response, not minding that the chicken patties were soggier than rice cereal that has been soaking in milk for an hour.
"You'd say that what with your unhealthy all meat diet Tucker," Sam said, a little scathingly.
"Guys, can we please not do this now, I'd rather focus on surviving until the end of the day," Danny sighed exasperatedly.
That's when the three noticed that everyone else in the hall stopped talking.
"Why did eve-" Sam said, her words dying in her throat with a strangled gurgle.
"What is it Sa-" Danny started to ask, before seeing Tohru walking down the hallway in a more traditional Maid's attire than the cosplay she had on the first day, with a monogram F on the apron, holding three lunchboxes.
"Now where is he?" She asked herself, ignoring the other students, before seeing Danny, "There you are Danny!"
Hearing that the beauty was looking for the "bottom of the barrel F-Lister" shocked everyone, why was she looking for him?
"Tohru, what are you doing here?" Danny asked, walking up to her distinctly aware that everyone was staring.
"Well, Jazz told me that you left in a hurry when you woke up late for the bus and that you don't like the chicken patties they serve here, so I and your mother made some spaghetti and cheesy garlic bread for you, Jazz, and me, provided that it's okay with the school for me to eat here," Tohru answered with a wide smile.
"Okay everyone, why have you all stopped talking?" Mr. Lancer said, before seeing Tohru, "Ah, are you the maid that Mrs. Fenton told us about?"
"Yep!" Tohru answered brightly and enthusiastically.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, and after talking with Principal Ishiyama, we decided that you are allowed to eat here with Mr. and Ms. Fenton, so long as issues do not arise, have a nice day," Mr. Lancer said with a smile, before walking off.
"So, who was that?" Tohru asked.
"That was Vice-Principal Lancer, and because right now we are having budget issues, he's also a History, Math, English, and Science teacher, so he's kind of overworked," Tucker told her.
"Come on Tohru, let's head to the cafeteria and eat," Danny said, leading Tohru, ignoring the whispers of the other students spreading rumors about him and Tohru, not noticing Sam grinding her teeth in annoyance, though dropping off Jazz's lunch to her while she is in class.
As they enter the cafeteria, Danny, Tohru, and Sam sit at what is quickly becoming known as the "F-Listers table" while Tucker went through the lunch line.
As Danny opens his lunchbox, he is shoved roughly to the ground by Dash, who tries to flirt with Tohru, "So beautiful, do you like quarterbacks, I bet you do, I'm also captain of all the sports teams in this school," he "flirted" bragging more so about himself than anything, only to see that Tohru was not across from him.
"Are you okay Danny?" Tohru asked, helping Danny up.
"Yeah, I've had worse, like the time I got shoved into the middle school flagpole and got knocked out for a few hours, but I'm good, thanks," Danny responded.
Dash gaped at the sight of a beautiful girl helping "Freaky Fenton" up and willingly talking to him, "Why are you helping Fenton, he's a freak, you should be making fun of him, not helping him?!" Dash questioned the sight that was daring to break what he knew of the world.
"One: because I'm not a jerk, two: your status as captain of all the school's sports teams doesn't mean a thing in the real world, and three: it's my job to help the family of my employers," Tohru answered with a fierce glare that made everyone except Danny take a step back.
"Employers? There's no way the Fenton family has enough money to hire a maid. If they did, they would be living in the rich neighborhood, so quit lying," a voice that used to excite Danny before he met Tohru, said.
From the crowd of people that started to gather around them, a Latina with a curvy hourglass figure, wavy silky black hair, teal eyes with lavender eyeshadow, she was wearing a pink crop-top with white circles around the arms, busty-blue Capri leggings and white flats with a pink hairclip, this is Paulina Sanchez.
Seeing Paulina, Danny didn't feel the same feelings he felt normally when seeing her, instead he felt... nothing, not the normal butterflies, weakness in his knees, or the usual nervousness. It was a little unnerving to Danny; it was also something that Paulina noticed as compared to the other boys in the cafeteria, Danny was the only one aside from Dash to not act like lovesick puppies, which was weird, after all, she was the hottest girl in school, then she started to hear the others talking.
The other students were comparing her and that "fake maid", some saying out loud that the "faker" was more beautiful than her, which caused a minute eye twitch to come to Paulina. Some were wondering if the "faker" was a new student with an odd sense of fashion who loved to roleplay in public, and a small smattering were wondering if Fenton had something on the girl in a maid uniform.
She decided to pounce on the last one.
"You know, if Freaky Fenton has some dirt on you, Dash here can help with that," Paulina said, a little smug thinking it would work and make Fenton seem even more of a loser as Dash pounded a fist into an open hand with a savage grin.
"He doesn't have any dirt on me, his parents really did hire me to help out around the house, I'm just on my lunch break right now," Tohru responded gritting her teeth, the voice of Paulina starting to grate her nerves.
Deciding to keep pressing the issue, Paulina forged ahead, "Oh come on, this school is a safe place, if you say in front of everyone right now that Fenton has something on you, we can get him tossed out and into prison, it's what he deserves, after all who would want to work for someone as ugly as him," Paulina said tauntingly, jutting her at best moderate sized chest out to get the attention of the boys back on her.
Whatever attraction Danny had left for Paulina had died an ugly death, one that was uglier than Führer Ugly from One Punch Man at her statement.
At that statement, and seeing that Paulina was trying to sway the crowd to her side with her looks, Tohru jutted out her larger chest, causing it to jiggle, "Danny, has no dirt on me, I'm working for him and his family because I not only needed a job, but because he saved me from dying and I will always be grateful to him for that, also he isn't ugly, he's actually really cute and looks better than that blonde ape over there," Tohru said, pointing to Dash, causing him to growl and Danny to blush, "As for not living in the rich neighborhood, well maybe they decided that they didn't want to deal with living next to unpleasant people like you, that and they didn't want to deal with a possible HOA telling them that they must mow the lawn once every three days to keep it at an exact height and to take down their decorations the day after a holiday."
That was when Mr. Lancer came in and said, "By Shakespeare people, why are you all not eating your lunches, don't you know that by not eating when you're hungry, you're hurting you're minds?"
Before Paulina or Dash could try to pounce on the situation, one of Dash's more prominent bullying targets said, "Paulina and Dash tried to start a commotion upon seeing Fenton's new maid, I recorded it all, here," he said, showing what happened on his phone, regardless of what would happen to him afterwards.
Mr. Lancer, knowing that Minnesota was a one-party consent state when it came to recording conversations in public after reviewing the footage and that it's most likely backed up on the cloud, pointed at Danny's spaghetti on the floor and said, "Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Baxter, I'm sorry but because of this, you'll have to do some in school suspension, the rest of the day for you Ms. Sanchez, and the rest of the week for hitting Mr. Fenton and ruining his lunch for you Mr. Baxter," with that said, he grabbed them by the shoulders and began dragging them to the front office, smiling on the inside.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS FENTON! YOU HEAR ME! YOU'LL PAY!" Dash screamed, blaming Danny as Paulina began crying and begging Mr. Lancer not to call her father about this.
"Great, I'm still his favorite," Danny said sardonically with an eyeroll.
"Sorry about your lunch Danny, but you can have half of mine if you want," Tohru offered with a smile, hoping that what happened in that one animated romance movie about dogs would happen to her and Danny.
"If you're sure Tohru," Danny said, sitting next to Tohru, causing Sam to frown, as Danny and Tohru sharing a meal was taking away her enjoyment at what happened to Paulina and Dash.
(Tuesday, Amity Park Elementary School, 8 A.M.)
"Okay class," a 32-year-old woman with brown hair and jade-colored eyes, wearing a blue short-sleeved sweater, a forest-green long-sleeved shirt, black sweatpants who looked to be five months pregnant said with a smile, "We have a new student joining us today, please help me give a warm welcome to Kanna Kamui Fenton."
Kanna was wearing her usual outfit but was hiding her draconic features, standing in front of the newly installed digital whiteboard, a blank look on her face as she bowed and said, "Nice to meet you all."
"Why don't you sit right next to Chloe Baxter?" the teacher asked.
"Sure," Kanna said, walking to her seat.
"Okay class, today for history, we'll be going over the American Revolutionary War, now just to review your knowledge, who can tell me the who the leaders on each side were and what the inciting incident for the war was?" The pregnant woman asked.
Chloe raised her hand and when the teacher called on her, answered, "The inciting incident was the Boston Tea Party and how the British reacted to it, and the leaders of the American side were President George Washington and founding fathers Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and Benjamin Franklin, while on the British side the leaders were King George the third and Major General William Howe, Mrs. Willows."
"Correct Chloe," Mrs. Willows said with a smile.
Kanna looked at Chloe, amazed at how smart Chloe was.
Okay class, get out your textbooks, we'll be reviewing what we worked on yesterday, then we'll go start on the major battles," Mrs. Willows said, walking up to the electronic whiteboard.
(Two Hours Later, Amity Park Elementary School, Gymnasium)
"Okay class, Today we'll be doing stretches and then we'll be doing push-ups, sit-ups, squats, jumping jacks, and a 3-lap run around the gym," the gym teacher, a tan, well-built man in his mid-twenties with brown hair and eyes, wearing a black baseball cap, beige slacks, and a red polo shirt with a name tag saying 'Mr. Johnson' said, "then because we have a double period today for Gym, you'll be voting to either play Soccer, Dodgeball, or Kickball for the second half."
As they finished their stretches, Mr. Johnson told Kanna in an impressed tone, "You seem to have a natural bit of stretchiness to you, the Gymnastics team is looking for some new members since the fifth graders from last year went to middle school, if you feel like it, the signup sheet for the tryouts is right outside my office," he then turned to everyone else, "now everyone it's time for the exercises, I want you all to go for a minimum of ten of each, and when you can't do anymore take a short rest then do the next one before doing your laps, every five extra of each exercise will give you a half-point of extra credit, extra laps will give you one full point of extra credit, though after five you will gain no more."
Kanna followed Choe's lead and did the exercises in the same exact order, though doing ten more of each exercise, and five extra laps as well. This made Mr. Johnson want Kanna on the Gymnastics team even more.
"Okay class, now it's time for the vote," Mr. Johnson said, taking off his hat and handing each student a small piece of paper and a pencil, collecting each vote as they're done.
After having gone through each vote, Mr. Johnson said, "Okay class, looks like we have Dodgeball today," as he began to set the balls down, he began to explain the rules, "now the rules are simple, if you're hit by the ball you're out, if you catch the ball the one who threw it is out and you can bring someone back in from your team who got out, you can use a ball to block another coming to you, but if the ball you're holding is knocked out of your hands you're out, now the team leaders are Chloe Baxter and Jeremiah Lebowski," He finished, pointing at Chloe and a red-headed half-Asian kid with brown eyes.
"I'll flip this coin, heads Chloe gets first pick, tails Jeremiah gets first pick, okay," Mr. Johnson said, fishing a quarter out of his pocket and flipping it, with it landing heads up in his palm.
"I choose Kanna," Chloe said, with Jeremiah giving a groan at her picking the new popular kid before him.
After the teams were chosen, with Chloe selecting a few more boys than Jeremiah, the game began. With most of the players being average third graders, there was no pain to anyone, except when someone got hit in the face. However, despite everything, during the last five minutes, it ended with Kanna alone against Jeremiah and two other boys. Most of the balls were behind Kanna, while Jeremiah held the only one on his team's side. With a smile, he threw it at Kanna, only for her to catch it. With a groan, Jeremiah went off to the side, and Kanna pointed at Chloe, bringing her into the game. As Chloe picked up a ball, Kanna decided that the game had to end as she was getting hungry. She threw the ball in her hands, hitting the one on the left with enough force that it rebounded and struck the kid to her right.
Kanna and Chloe's team cheered while the P.E. teacher picked up the balls and had the students wait by the door to be let out for lunch.
"By the way Ms. Fenton, your parents dropped off your lunch for you, it's in the front office," Mr. Johnson said.
After Kanna got her lunch from the office, she made her way to the cafeteria, sat next to Chloe, and began to enjoy her lunch, though the amount of it surprised her classmates, along with the fact that she was able to eat all of it.
Though next came the most boring class to her, English. The teacher, an old bald man called Mr. Black, who's droning voice was so monotonous that Kanna had almost mistaken it for a sleeping spell when she nearly fell asleep, luckily after that was Recess, she had a lot of fun playing tag, Hide-N-Seek, Kickball, and playing on the playground with the other kids.
Finally, her last class of the day was an hour of science, something she found to be slightly useful when combined with the math class she had before P.E.
At the end of the day, some of her classmates came up with papers that had her phone numbers on them, giving her a chance to talk to them after their homework was done.
"Hey Kanna, over here!" Kanna heard Maddie call out of the Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle.
"How was your first day of school Kanna?" Maddie asked her as she buckled herself in.
"It was good, I made some new friends and got their phone numbers," Kanna replied, putting the numbers into her phone.
"That's good honey, you can play with them after you're done with your homework," Maddie replied.
"Okay," Kanna replied, but knew there wouldn't need to be much done as she got her math and English homework done in-between classes and all that was left today was history.
(Fenton Household, Saturday, 2 P.M.)
"Okay everyone, the Fenton Ghost Portal is almost done, now all I have to do is plug it in, and the Fenton's won't be considered a laughing stock amongst the scientific community despite all the supernatural heroes that exist," Jack said, a wide smile on his face, standing in front of the Fenton Ghost Portal with Maddie, Torhu, Kanna, Jazz, Daany, Sam, and Tucker, as Virgil and Richie needed to head back to Dakota city for school.
"Are you sure this is safe Mr. F?" Tucker asked a little nervously.
"Completely, unless you get blasted with a lot at once, or get hit with an extremely concentrated blast, ectoplasm is rather harmless," Maddie answered Tucker a smile.
"Now then, everyone, get your goggles on, this is going to make a huge flash," Jack said, lowering his goggles while Maddie handed some to Kanna, Tohru, and the teens in the room before lowering hers.
"Now prepare to view a world unseen!" Jack yelled dramatically, plugging the Ghost Portal's plug into an extension cord that was plugged into the wall.
The Ghost Portal hummed loudly, then quieted down, with a confused expression, Jack unplugged the device, then plugged it in again, then proceeded to do so rapidly until with a dejected look that belonged onto a kicked puppy, he dropped the cords and walked back up the stairs with Maddie, who had a similar look on her face, while Jazz followed them to cheer them up.
"Man, I feel bad for them, their dreams got crushed," Danny said, a sympathetic frown on his face.
"Tell me about it, I haven't seen anyone this sad since my mom when her favorite show got cancelled halfway into season 4," Tucker agreed.
Sam just glanced at the Fenton parents sympathetically, before she saw the set of rubber jumpsuits, with one in Danny's size that was white with a black collar, black belt, black gloves, and black boots, before taking it down and handing it to Danny while taking out her smartphone.
"Come on, let me take a picture, it's not every day you're right next to something that can show you another dimension," Sam requested.
"Well, it's not like it works anyway," Danny said a bit reluctantly, putting the jumpsuit on over his clothes.
Danny walked up to the non-working Ghost Portal, before Sam stopped him, and pulled off a large sticker of his Jack's face on it with a, "You can't go around with that on your chest."
Something Tohru agreed with in her thoughts.
After Sam took the picture, Danny said, "You know, maybe there's something wrong on the inside of the portal, if I can fix it, maybe my parents won't be so sad."
"Danny, I don't think that's a good idea, your parents have told me and Kanna, and thus told you at least once as well, that stuff in the lab should not be played with ever, even if it looks harmless or doesn't seem to work," Tohru advised.
"Oh, come on, it's not like it's going to do anything," Sam rebutted, a frown on her face, "I think you should do it Danny, I mean, if you fix it, your parents will be happy, don't you want that?"
"Yeah, I do," Danny answered, stepping into the portal, though despite how bright the lights of the lab were, the Portal was so dark, he couldn't see more than a foot in front of himself.
Danny put a hand to the wall of the Ghost Portal as he looked around to help keep himself steady, in case he tripped onto something that either of his parents forgot on the inside of the portal, though because he couldn't see where he was putting his hand, he pressed something that made a *Click!* sound, and the Ghost Portal began to hum loudly, and all Danny had time to say was "Uh-oh," before he was blasted with what one would generously call an absolute 'Fuck-ton' of ectoplasm and electricity.
Danny screamed a blood curdling scream of pain as the bright light hit his eyes, and as the ectoplasm and electricity hit his body, the ectoplasm fusing itself to his DNA directly thanks to the electricity, and eventually the Ghost Portal turned itself off, and Danny stumbled out of it, before falling unconscious.
Danny was unconscious for a literal minute, before waking up with a groan, asking, "Oh man, what hit me?" before he saw Tohru, Kanna, Tucker, and Sam looking down at him in worry.
"Uh, guys, am I okay, the last thing I saw was a bri-," Danny said, sitting up before seeing his reflection in the mirror his parents installed to make sure they got rid of any ectoplasm in their hair.
What Danny saw in the mirror was a boy where he should be, one with snow- white hair, glowing green eyes, skin that looked to be cast in shadow, and a rubber jumpsuit that had an inverse coloration of what he had before going inside the portal.
"Who's tha-," Danny pointed and began to say before the words died in his throat as the strange teen in the mirror mirrored his every movement, causing him to come to a grim conclusion, the teen he saw in the mirror was himself.
He then began to scream, "AHHHHHHHHH!" and then he started to float. He was floating and screaming. Yeah, this was very quickly turning into a bad day for him.
Knowing exactly what her employers think of ghosts, even though she didn't really think they'd do anything to their son after he became a ghost, Tohru began to freak out, and when her superior draconic hearing picked up the sound of Jack slowly walking back to the basement door, she began to freak out harder, before she grabbed Danny by his collar and did something that she would look back on his fondness later on in life. She kissed him. On. The. Lips.
That quieted Danny and stunned everyone else in the lab, before to everyone's amazement Danny's form began to change in a flash of white light, the black and white rubber jumpsuit giving way to a white shirt with a red oval, red collar, and red cuffed short sleeves, light blue jeans, and red-and-white sneakers, the snow-white hair turning Raven-black, the eerie glowing green eyes going back to icy-blue, and his skin no longer looking like he's cast in shadow. He looked normal now. Looked being the operative word.
With a flash, the Ghost Portal turned itself back on, a dual toned swirling green light bathing the room in an eerie, yet calming ambience.
"Kids, what's going on in here, why is there screaming and noises?" questioned Jack in a depressed voice from the top of the stairs as Tohru and Danny separated from each other with massive blushes, with Sam angrily scowling while grinding her teeth at Tohru.
As Jack came down to the bottom of the stairs, he saw that the Ghost Portal was on and working, his depressed frown quickly changed to a large and glowing grin as a squeal of excitement and elation began to escape him, before he yelled up the stairs, "MADDIE, JAZZY PANTS! THE PORTAL IS WORKING NOW! COME DOWN HERE AND TAKE A LOOK!"
The sounds of glass and ceramic shattering came from the kitchen as Maddie and Jazz ran towards the lab, and when they saw the on portal, Maddie began to squeal in excitement, though not just because of that, she (and Jazz) saw that Danny and Tohru were blushing and not looking at each other, so something major had to have happened between them.
"Oh Jack, this is wonderful, now we can start doing our experiments and everything!" Maddie said, her voice full of joy as she hugged Jack.
Meanwhile, a lump of anxiety and slight fear filled Danny's stomach as one of his hands turned invisible, before it turned visible again.
(End of Chapter)
Okay, just barley over 10K words at 40 pages so far, I'd say that's a good long chapter, the housewarming party and Kanna's first day were kicking my teeth in for how it would play out, I'm pretty sure that the housewarming section is not that good, but I literally couldn't do much and just kept on bouncing around, though I feel like Kanna's first day at school was pretty good, I was also thinking about going through the events of the first Danny Phantom episode, but I decided not to.
I also have some personal issues that I'm getting help for come up, the mental kind, it'll make it so that I'm taking longer to get the chapters out, but I need the help to get past anxiety and depression.
I know some people don't like idea that Sam was the reason why Danny got his powers, I myself am a little iffy on that, so I made it that Danny came up with the idea to go inside himself, with Sam encouraging him.
Now onto the numbered annotations;
A.N. 1: I'm basing this off the game that some people play where they're throwing playing cards into a hat, I decided that for Sam's training that she would play a modified version of this with the objective being whoever gets the most points wins, the points being worth whatever their number is with Ace being one, Jack being eleven, Queen being twelve, and King being thirteen, and the multiple hats multiplying how many points you get based on distance, with the hat five feet away multiplying the points by one, the hat seven-and-a-half feet away multiplying the points by one-and-a-half, the hat ten feet away multiplying points by two, the hat fifteen feet away multiplying the points by three, the hat twenty feet away multiplying the points by four, the hat twenty-five feet away multiplying the points by five, and the hat fifty feet away multiplying the points by six.
A.N. 2: In Minnesota, if you're going through a divorce, properties you owned before the marriage are considered nonmarital, though if it was enhanced with marital funds then it can get complicated, though if the enhancements were made with a nonshared bank account the enhancements would be considered nonmarital property.
