Dani and Danny spent the rest of the night talking about their situation… The next day, Danny took Dani to the mall. Because despite the situation, they couldn’t live their lives in fear.

As Danny and Dani wandered through the mall, Dani’s eyes sparkled with wonder at the festive decorations and holiday cheer. Despite the threat of clones, Danny couldn’t help but smile at her infectious enthusiasm. He wanted to give his younger female self some sense of normalcy.

As they passed by a display of twinkling lights and colorful ornaments, Dani’s eyes sparkled with wonder. [color=ec008c]“Wow, Danny! Look at all the pretty lights!”[/color] she exclaimed, tugging on his sleeve excitedly.

Danny smiled fondly at her enthusiasm. [color=pink]“Yeah, it’s pretty amazing, huh?”[/color] he replied, his gaze drifting to the sparkling Christmas tree towering overhead. [color=pink]“They really go all out when it comes to Christmas.”[/color]

Dani’s infectious excitement was contagious, and Danny found himself laughing and smiling as they explored the various shops and attractions. He even took Dani to get her picture taken with Santa. For a brief moment, things felt normal. Everything was right with the world

While at the mall, they bumped into a familiar redhead taking selfies. [color=red]“You again. We have got to stop meeting like this Tiger.”[/color]

[color=ec008c]“Who is this guy? Is this your boyfriend?”[/color] Dani teased.

Danny’s face turned bright red, as MJ giggled. But before Danny could say something in retaliation, something caught his eye. Or rather someone. He caught sight of… himself in the crowd. It was another Danny clone.

[color=pink]“Dani, we gotta go now!”[/color] He whispered with a sense of urgency.

But before they could leave, the clone smiled sinisterly, and then with lightning speed, the clone lunged foward and knocked Danny to the ground.

“You thought you could hide from us, but we always find our targets.” the clone taunted, its voice dripping with menace. He picked up the real Danny by the neck, trying to choke him.

As the clone’s grip tightened around Danny’s neck, his younger counterpart sprang into action. [color=ec008c]“Get away from him!”[/color] Dani shouted, as she delivered a swift kick to the side, that sent the clone stumbling backwards.

Danny barely had time to catch his breath. He took Dani’s hand, and ran to find somewhere quiet to change. 

Meanwhile, MJ was filming the whole thing. [color=red]“This is gonna get me so many views!”[/color]
