Plot
As Jenny Wakeman was preparing for the homecoming dance tonight, her mother, Nora, has constructed a dimensional portal upon her research of the multiverse. Picking a dimension at random, Jenny insists on entering through the portal to test the results. Entering through, she finds herself in the laboratory of Fenton Works, where she meets the half-human/half-ghost superhero Danny Fenton a.k.a. Danny Phantom and his family. They find that the Fenton Ghost Portal has connected with Nora's portal which the latter shorts out from a power outage, leaving Jenny stranded in Danny's dimension. While Nora plans to restore the power, Danny shows her around Amity Park, where she meets his close friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley who become fond of her during her stay. Later, Jenny's friends Sheldon Lee, Brad and Tuck Carbunkle arrive to find and bring Jenny home.

Just as respective groups say their goodbyes, Danny, Tucker and Jazz find Sam gone and hear her through the portal. The three go after her and learn that Sam had forgotten to get back her bracelets from Jenny; Team Phantom ends up stuck in Jenny's universe after another outage. Until the power is back on, Team Phantom spends their time getting acquainted with Jenny and her friends and browsing Tremorton. At Mezmer's, they encounter the Space Bikers, who are causing a ruckus inside and they take the fight outside. Afterwards, Danny and Jenny become good friends over their commonalities while their friends hit it off with one another. With help from Tucker and Sheldon, Nora has the power restored and the portal running again for Team Phantom to return to their dimension. Before parting ways, Sam gives Jenny her bracelets as a memento while Danny wishes her luck at the homecoming dance. On the night of the homecoming dance, Jenny is dancing with Brad and Sheldon as her last-minute dates just as friends.
