I've wanted to write a story like this for a while...accidental discoveries of Danny's secret! MUHAHAHAHA! I'm evil. Heh.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom. I wish I did, though. (pauses) Damn, no Desiree...ah, well a man can try...

Daniel 'Danny' Fenton, Jasmine 'Jazz' Fenton, Jack Fenton, and Madeline 'Maddie' Fenton were all eating supper. It was 7:00 pm.

Danny, our favorite half-ghost hero, was in good spirits (no pun intended); no ghosts had attacked all day. Well, if there had been any ghost attacks, he must not have been nearby.

Suddenly, a blue vapor escaped Danny's mouth.

Spoke too soon.

Maddie looked at her son, concerned, "Are you ok, Danny?"

"He's fine. But I agree with his breath, it's cold in here!" Jack said.

Suddenly, a laser hit the table they sat around. The family looked over to see Skulker, the 'greatest hunter in the Ghost Zone', hovering there.

Skulker sneered, "Hello."

Jack shouted, "Ghost!" he pulled out a Fenton Bazooka. Maddie pulled out a Fenton Saber, a sort of light-saber Star Wars rip-off weapon. Skulker put his arms up in front of him to stop them.

"I didn't come here for you. I came for him," Skulker picked up Danny by his shirt, "the whelp."

"Put our son down!" Maddie glared.

Skulker replied, "Sorry, but I can't do that..." two lasers came out of his shoulder and blasted the weapons out of the elder Fenton's hands. He sneered again.

Jazz looked around frantically for the emergency button to activate the security systems. She saw it. Jazz ran over to it.

"I don't think so, whelp's sister!" Skulker said. He landed in front of the button (he was still holding Danny, obviously). With amazing strength, Skulker ripped a hole out of the wall, with the button, and destroyed it. Some wires inside the wall were then destroyed by an ecto-sword from Skulker's hand.

Danny looked around. He had to find a way to go ghost...

Skulker suddenly slammed Danny to the ground and held the sword to his neck. Danny looked up to see his family. They all were busy looking for some weapons. Danny grinned and quickly phased into the floor. Skulker screamed in fury, "Get back here, whelp!"

The remaining Fenton's now averted their attention back to the ghost, and Danny was no-where to be seen.

"What did you do with my son!?" Jack shouted, angrily. He pulled out a Jack 'O Nine Tails and shot it at Skulker. Skulker dodged, grabbed it, and pulled it out of Jack's hands.

Suddenly, the ghost boy, Danny Phantom, flew into the house and tackled into Skulker. He then turned them intangible and flew them upstairs.

"After them!" Jack shouted, heroically. Jack and Maddie raced up the stairs.

Jazz stared after them. Well, Danny's secret was in jeopardy, and there was nothing she could do to help. That's just great.

Meanwhile, Danny and Skulker were fighting in Danny's room. Eventually, Danny beat Skulker and sucked him into the Fenton Thermos. He landed on the ground and reverted to his human form.

The moment the aura rings came from Danny's waist to go across his body, making Danny Phantom become Danny Fenton once more, Jack and Maddie peeked in, ready to go in for a surprise attack.

Of course, there was a surprise waiting for them when they peeked into the door.

Danny made the two aura rings move across his body. One went up and the other went down. When they stopped, he was...

"Danny!?" Maddie gasped.

Danny Fenton spun around, "Huh? Oh, uh...hey, mom, dad! Where'd that ghost go? I saw that jerky Danny Phantom and the other ghost that was trying to hurt me before phase through my room."

"That isn't going to work, ghost!" Jack held up an ecto-gun, "What are you!?"

"What are you talking about!?" Danny asked, freaked out, "Wait...you didn't see me...?" his eyes widened in shock.

Maddie replied, "We come into the room to see Danny Phantom suddenly turn into our son. What is going on here!?"

"Look, I can explain!" Danny said, horrified.

Jack put the ecto-gun away, "So it is you...how were you able to hide this for so long? It must have been hard work, of course, hiding such a secret from Jack Fenton!" he boasted.

"Jack...please, just tell us what is going on?" Maddie asked.

Danny sighed, "Look, that accident with the portal a year ago..."

"Of course! I knew it!" Jack stated, "Why didn't we figure this out before, Maddie?"

"I have no clue...it just all makes so much sense...except the evil things Phantom has done. How do you explain that, mister?" Maddie asked.

"What, you mean the accident with the mayor? He was overshadowed by one of my enemies...and that ghost that just attacked, he's been hunting me since almost the beginning. I've been trying to be the hero...and I really am. I've made a lot of ghostly enemies, but I have allies, too..." Danny paused, "not all ghosts are evil..."

Maddie sighed, "This is confusing...we've seen Danny Fenton and Phantom together, before!"

"Well, that's probably due to the Fenton Ghost Catcher or it was actually one of my enemies. That one day where Phantom was 'attacking Danny', that wasn't actually Danny Fenton, it was actually that ghost..." he trailed off.

"...Are you sure you don't want us to take away your ghost half? I mean..." Maddie started.

Danny shook his head, "Not a good idea. That has happened twice. The first time...well, let's just say it didn't turn out well. Neither did the second time..." he paused, "anyway, using these powers, I've been trying to be the hero...but it isn't easy being a hero when everyone thinks you're public enemy number 1...do I have to explain anything else?"

"No," Maddie said, quietly.

"I'm proud of you, son. You hunt ghosts! As a ghost! That is so cool!" Jack said, giddy. He continued, "So, you said you have allies..."

"Yeah. There's this wolf-ghost name Wulf...and I've only met with him twice before. Um...I'm trying to think...there's Clockwork, who was involved with...helping me beat a...really powerful enemy...and...hm...well, there's other ghosts who aren't allies, but aren't evil. I've met lots of ghosts, and at first I thought they were all evil. Then, when we went to that 20 year college reunion, I met the Dairy King's ghost, and he saved me from Plasmius...long story."

Jack ran out of the room excited, "To the lab!"

Danny and Maddie stared after him. Maddie looked at Danny, "Who else knows?"

"Sam and Tucker were there when...it happened. They've been there for me since the beginning. Jazz saw me transform once, but didn't tell me for a while...and then there's pretty much every villain I've faced, since I don't bother keeping my identity from them. I guess that's kinda stupid, because then none of...this would have happened. Then again, if I'm beaten, I revert back to Fenton, so they'd probably find out that way." Maddie sighed. Danny asked, "Are you going to let me keep doing my...erm... 'job'?"

"...Well...ok," Maddie said, "you can keep fighting ghosts. If you're late for curfew, we'll let it pass if there was a ghost attack."

"You serious?" Danny asked, cheering up. Maddie nodded. Danny cheered, "I have to tell Sam and Tuck!" he then added, in a heroic voice, "To the phone!" he raced out the door.

Maddie followed after him, smiling. Her son was a ghost hunter...with a twist, but still a ghost hunter. And she couldn't be more proud of him.

Well, this one done! Oh, and each chapter isn't related to another, so this event doesn't have to happen for the next chapter. This is just a collection of one-shots of people discovering Danny, obviously.
