A/N: I'M BAAAAAAACK! Did ya miss me? Probably not... Oh well. Anyway, whether you were a fan of my work or not, strap in. We're going on an adventure. This is the first of three stories that I will see through to the end and keep on track. All of my previous stories are going to be deleted (except one). This will hopefully be my great comeback to the Danny Phantom fanfic scene. But, without further ado, BEHOLD THE STORY!
Today was the day. Between the ghosts and the events of what was supposed to happen today, I hadn't slept well all night. I kept going back and forth. Should I? Should I not? It was stressful but, based on the past, everything should go as planned. Which would mean everything would be not stressful soon. So I kept running the conversations over and over in my head. I laid awake, staring at the stars on my ceiling. They were a reminder of the dream I couldn't achieve anymore. All of the ghost fighting had made my grades slip which meant I had flunked out of high school. I had been to space once and it was amazing. Unfortunately, in that same day I had almost revealed my secret to the world. Vlad had revealed his, so why was I still so guarded about mine? The world seemed to accept him until he revealed he was evil. Maybe that's why I had been so scared to tell my parents for years. But it's been five years since the accident. Five years. Five years of secrets, of bruises, of limps, of concerned faces, of narrow escapes, and of lying. It was too much for me. By the time junior year had rolled around my parents didn't care about my curfew anymore. If I came in past midnight, they'd just leave a note on the table saying goodnight, if I was lucky. Most nights I just came home to a dark house of sleeping people. My alarm abruptly drew me out of my thoughts. It brought me back to reality and what I was about to do.
I took my time getting dressed and ready. I needed as much time as possible to mentally prepare. Then there was a soft knock on my door.
"It's just me little brother," Jazz said. I pulled my shirt on.
"Come in," I responded.
"I just wanted to make sure-" I cut her off
"Jazz I'm sure I want to do this. I need to. It's been too long. Just be there for me please," I walked over to hug her. She gladly accepted.
"Always little brother," she smiled.
Jazz walked out of my room. I looked at my reflection and took a deep breath.
"Everything will go just fine," I said to no one in particular. Then I headed down the stairs and into the kitchen, taking my seat next to Jazz at the table.
I looked at my parents and Jazz. She still looked concerned. I had told her last night that I was going to come clean with mom and dad. The constant lying was really starting to pile up on my conscience. All she'd been able to do was bug me about my decision though. I had told Sam and tucker too. They were supposed to be here any minute now. Getting out of my thoughts and back to the task at hand I saw my dad reading the paper and my mom tinkering with another invention. I laid my head down on the kitchen table and took a deep breath.
"Are you okay honey?' mom asked. I picked my head up off the table and looked at her and dad.
"I need to tell you guys something that I should've told you a long time ago," dad set down his paper and mom stopped messing with her invention.
"Danny you don't have to do this," Jazz said.
"Yes I do jazz. I need to tell them. It'll make me feel better. And hopefully make me safer," I explained.
"What do you need to tell us Danny?" dad asked.
"First I need to know something. You guys love me right? And you will no matter what?" I asked back.
"Of course sweetie," mom said. "No matter what happens we'll always love you."
"Okay then I have something to tell you. Something I've been hiding for five years," I looked at the table.
"Son what's going on?" Dad asked. Jazz looked like she was going to faint.
"I'm... I'm half ghost" I rushed. The dreaded words were finally out. My parents shared a look then busted out laughing.
"Honey, don't make such jokes. Why would you even say that? You know Vlad was evil. But he was the only half ghost there is. Besides, there's know way you could be one because we would know," mom said. The doorbell rang.
"You guys don't understand. It'd true and I'm half living proof!" I exclaimed while getting the door. Sam and tucker walked in silently, having heard part of what I said. I sat back in my chair. They stood against the wall.
"Lets say it is true, how it would have happened?" mom pondered.
"I was in an accident in the lab with the portal. Sam and tucker remember," I told her. Behind me, they both winced remembering that fateful day. My parents noticed. "Do you want me to show you proof I'm half ghost?'
"What proof could you have son?" dad pointed out though both of their faces started growing more and more unsure.
"I'll show you. And I'm not just any half ghost either. I'm Danny phantom," I stood up.
"Danny-" mom was cut off by a brilliant flash of white. Then it toned down and formed a ring at my waist. The ring split in two. One moved up and one moved down. I closed my eyes against the cooling sensation washing across me. It washed over my chest and legs then my face and feet. I opened my toxic green eyes and stared at my parents.
"Now do you believe me? I can explain how this happened and every action I have taken since then. None of this is your fault. None of this is anyone's fault. Nothing that's happened because of or since the accident is anyone's fault but my own.' I looked back at Sam and tucker. Then I heard guns cock.
"Don't move Daniel."
A/N: And there's chapter one in all it's glory! I hope you guys enjoyed. I will try to have consistent updates this time around. And again, this time stories will get finished and stay on track. No wandering. Anyway, see ya later!
