Some decades later, he would continue his search for GenericChallenge, appearing in Belleview one year after [[Fanon:Mr. Row|Mr. Row]] died, being confronted by [[Uncle Owen]]. Daniel James explains the nature of their universe to Owen, and afterwards, he attempts to return to the Grove but fails, having to live his years in Belleview as both Franco Key and Daniel James until he was caught up to his own time.

====Searching for GenericChallenge====
 
 
About three decades later, Franco would convince [[Aly]] to join him in attending a meeting in the [[Developer's Grove]] about [[Fanon:GenericChallenge/Stories|GenericChallenge]]'s whereabouts. During the meeting, [[Fanon:Mill|Mill]] of the [[Fanon:Four Guardians|Four Guardians]] gets a call that [[Fanon:The Void|The Void]] was being attacked by [[Fanon:Tombstone|Tombstone]], so the rest of the group, including Aly, leaves to investigate, leaving Franco and [[Fanon:Joseph Tringali|Joseph Tringali]] alone in the Grove, and Franco offers to go undercover to find GenericChallenge again.

After calming down the refugees again, this time being agitated about GenericChallenge, Franco meets up with Repair Guy, and the two of them prepare to journey into canon. Franco returns to his [[Fanon:Daniel James|Daniel James]] persona, and the two of them set the [[Wishing Well]] for [[Fanon:GuyThatExists' Timeline#2008|Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008 at 7:54:20 PM]]. Daniel James jumps into the Well first, appearing in Belleview in 2008, in the middle of [[Mike]]'s coma and the town's grieving.

====Helping Uncle Owen====
 
 
However, once he arrives in Belleview, he is almost immediatley confronted by [[Uncle Owen]], who demands to know the truth behind the death of his brother - [[Fanon:Mr. Row|Mr. Row]]. A small crowd forms to watch their fight, but Daniel James convinces Uncle Owen to take their discussion inside. Back inside the Row house's basement, Daniel James and Uncle Owen talk about the true events of the night of the carnival. Daniel James tries to cover for his true self by saying that he, [[Fanon:Lyrica|Lyrica]], and Mr. Row were all college buddies, and admits that the person disguised as Mr. Row was a shapeshifter.

Owen then says that he wants to help find GenericChallenge, so Daniel James tells him the telltale signs of GenericChallenge imitating someone. Owen asks who to report to if he finds GC, and Daniel James tells him to look out for a Franco Key who would be moving in soon. Daniel James decides to stick it out for a while, eventually meeting back up with Owen in the future Record Shop, telling him the exact time that things would become scripted in the future. Daniel James then decides that he needed to get back to the hunt for Generic, so he says goodbye and attempts to leave back through the Wishing Well, but realizes that the connection to the Developer's Grove had been severed, meaning that Joe had shut down the Grove.

====Life as Daniel James====
+
Daniel James runs into the woods and hides away for decades until his past self leaves with Aly for their original meeting with Joe and the Guardians. At this point, he manually reverts back to Franco Key, returning to the Record Shop. Here, he meets up with [[Fanon:Nolan/Stories|Nolan]], GenericChallenge, and [[Fanon:Eric Kozlowsky|Eric Kozlowsky]], all of whom had been ejected from the Grove with the [[Fanon:Stylus|Stylus]]. They all help explain that the Grove was shut down for good, though [[Mike]] and his son [[Fanon:Nolan Row|Nolan Row]] walk in before they can come up with a plan.  
=====2015=====
 
Stuck as Daniel James, he decides to move up the Uptown [[Belleview]], where he lives for the next few years. During [[Mike]] and [[Aly]]'s graduation, he returns to Belleview to drink with Uncle Owen, telling him that the [[Shadow]]s were likely gone for some time, and that they should continue to search for [[Fanon:GenericChallenge/Stories|GenericChallenge]], exchanging phone numbers.
 
 
 
=====2025=====
 
Over the next decade, the two become good friends and decide one night to go out for Cesaros. Mike and Heather come with them, but Aly and her family happen to show up as well. Daniel James runs into a closet, and Aly follows him in, asking if he was on another mission. He begins to remember his life as a developer and beings to break down. Aly asks him about Willham, Shadow Mari, and Joe specifically, and he begs her to leave him alone. She agrees, and Daniel James is kicked out of the closet by an [[Fanon:Carnival Attendant|employee]].
 
 
 
Later that night, he thinks about his new life and determines to live his life to the fullest.
 
 
 
====Returning to Franco Key====
 
Some time later, he meets up with [[Fanon:Nolan/Stories|Nolan]], GenericChallenge, and [[Fanon:Eric Kozlowsky|Eric Kozlowsky]], all of whom had been ejected from the Grove with the [[Fanon:Stylus|Stylus]]. They all explain that the Grove was shut down for good, though [[Mike]] and his son [[Fanon:Nolan Row|Nolan Row]] walk in before they can come up with a plan.
