Danny: Hayden, again? You're really doing another challenge? *Facepalm*

Me: Why not? I like challenges. I'm too lazy to come up with a plot myself.

Danny: BECAUSE YOU'RE ALREADY DOING 5 OTHER STORIES!

Me: So? Why can't I do 5 more?

Danny: What do you mean 5?

Me: *hands Danny the challenge list* the monkey girl posted 5 challenges. I thought I'd please her by doing all of them.

Danny: Well, they better be good. Anyway, for all you copyright people out there, Hayden doesn't own me. Also, the song playing on Danny's radio is 'Haunted' by Evanescence. She doesn't own that either. *looks at me* what are you doing?
Me: Dancing to Len Kagamine's song 'Migikata no Chou'. It's Japanese, you know.

Danny: Oh…*turns to face reader* Please ignore my friend here, she's crazy.

Me: I saw a butterfly, sitting on your right shoulder… la la la

Danny: *looks at challenge list and Hayden's story* looks like she's decided to start with challenge number 3. So much for doing things in the right order *shrugs*. Well here it is, the monkey girl. Enjoy!

Challenge #3: Danny decides to tell his parents his secret and they don't accept him
Description: I really hate those fics where the parents are all "Oh we'll accept you no matter what" and there aren't enough "GET OUTTA MY HOUSE YOU ECTOPLASMIC WASTE OF EXISTANCE!" fics. No PP
Rules: At the end of the fic, Danny's parents CAN'T accept him, no matter what. Okay, they CAN seemingly accept him, but he has to say that they love Danny Fenton, but hate Danny Phantom. You can make this a X-over if you want.

Exile, Chapter 1

"You're goin' down, ghost scum!" I heard my dad shout from somewhere behind me. I turned around to see him powering up an ecto-foamer. My mum was nowhere to be seen, but I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not. I glanced round, looking for her. My dad was virtually no threat at all; it was Mum I was worried about.

The street was empty. I breathed a sigh of relief. Then again, she could be hiding. It was hard to see with the power down. Why did they have to hunt me at night?

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a stone being thrown behind me. Distracted, I turned round to work out where exactly the noise had come from. I couldn't see anything.

"I've got you now, Phantom," I recognised Mum's voice instantly. I spun back round to the direction I was originally facing to see her firing a ghost-proof net right at me. I jumped out the way just in time. Dad blasted several shots of ecto-foam in my direction. Unsurprisingly, he missed. I heard him curse as he ran out of ammo. There was a clatter of a gun dropping and he ran right towards me.

I flew a few feet in the air to get out of his way. He cursed again.

"You won't get away this time, ghost!" my mum fired an ecto blast at me, but I flew off, smoothly dodging it. She cried out in frustration.

"We'll find you, Phantom, and when we do, we'll destroy you. Molecule by molecule. There'll be nothing left of you when we're finished!" my dad's threat rang out threw the sky as I flew home slowly.

I phased threw my locked bedroom window and changed back into Danny Fenton. My black and white hazmat suit turned into a baggy white shirt and jeans. My silvery-white hair became raven-black and my bright green eyes became an icy blue. At least they still love half of me, I thought sadly.

I sighed and tuned my radio in to a random channel. A loud song came on:

I know you're still there, watching me, wanting me,

I can feel you pull me down.

Fearing you, loving you,

I won't let you pull me down.

I turned it off. The song was just too appropriate for what had just happened. It reminded me of my dad's threat. Sure, he was a lousy ghost-hunter. But with Mum, he stood a fair chance of capturing me. If they were just able to get me cornered. I shivered and shook my head at the thought.

"Danny, dinner!" I heard Mum call from the kitchen. I looked up, confused. How did she get home and cook dinner so quickly? Maybe she was using that stupid invention again, the one that cooks sausages in a few seconds. I walked downstairs, hoping that my food wouldn't eat me first.

My entire family was sitting down eating by the time I got to the kitchen. The sausages thankfully hadn't turned into flesh-eating rabid animals, I noticed. My older sister, Jazz, looked at me worriedly. My parents didn't see.

"We were just telling Jazzy-pants how close we got to capturing that putrid piece of ectoplasmic scum, Danny Phantom," my dad informed me as I sat down.

I began to eat my food when my mum said, "I'm starting to rethink what we would do with him when we catch him. My maybe we should dissect him? I've never really had a close look at a ghost for a long period of time before." I choked on my sausage.

"Are you alright, Danny?" Mum asked me.

"I'm fine," I replied, too quickly.

She sent me a questioning look. I was about to give another excuse when Jazz asked, "Are you going to sedate Phantom? It would hurt him if you didn't."

Dad laughed, "Sweetie, you know we don't care about that."

"Oh," was all Jazz said in reply, she looked at me worriedly for the second time.

Mum carried on, "I have a brand-new set of scalpels down in the lab, now that I think of it. All we really need is some ghost proof restraints to fix onto the table. I'll move the computer down there tomorrow to help records the results. I might also do a transcript of what he says-"

"But you haven't even caught him yet!" Jazz pointed out hurriedly.

"Can we talk about something else, please?" I asked.

"Danny, this is very important to us," Dad said to me. "Catching a ghost would not only be a great achievement to me and your mother, but it would be another step to understanding these beings properly."

"What can't you just ask Phantom for all the information you want?" I suggested to them.

My parents fell into hysterics. "Danny sweetie, why would a ghost ever co-operate with humans? I expect they would rather die for a second time that sit down and talk." Mum laughed.

"How do you know that?" I asked them.

"Everybody knows that ghosts are evil, sweetie. It's a fact. Why else would they try to destroy the town every day?" Mum replied.

I guessed it did make sense in some ways to them. But what about Clockwork? Or Frostbite? Or Dora? Have they heard of those ghosts before? Based on what they'd just told me, I decided that they hadn't.

"Personally, I don't think that Danny Phantom is evil at all. He does a great job of protecting the town," Jazz winked at me.

"That's just a distraction to keep us away from his evil plans," Dad said. "He's scheming something right now, I know it!"

"Yeah," I mumbled under my breath, "like how to get my fork through this sausage."

"Tomorrow we'll all go out and look for him. Me and Maddie will get the weapons ready now. And remember," Dad eyed me and Jazz "If you see any sign of Phantom, tell us so that we can tear him to shreds- I mean dissect him," he said, looking at Mum. My parents left the room and headed downstairs to the lab.

Jazz turned to me "They're getting pretty serious about catching you now Danny, you'd better be careful when you're out fighting."

"I know," I sighed, putting my head in my hands. "At this rate, every time a ghost shows they'll be on my back. I don't know what to do."

"Maybe you should tell them," Jazz suggested to me, "once they find out that Danny Phantom is their son, they'll be O.K with it."

"What if they don't accept me?"

"Come on Danny, we both know it won't come to that. They love you, and…and I do too," she smiled. Jazz stood up and held her hand out, "I'll come with you if you like Danny."

"O.K.," I agreed hesitantly. I took her hand and she led me over to the door of the lab. She opened it silently and we both headed down stairs.

"We'll catch him using this ghost-proof net," I heard my mum go through the plans with my dad, "but we'll take some spares in case either of us misses. I charged them up with electricity to weaken him once he's inside, so he shouldn't struggle. If in case he does, I've got something here to knock him out for a few hours."

She turned around as she heard us come in, "Hi guys. What's wrong? Did you see Phantom?" Mum suddenly became excited.

"In a way," I said.

"What do you mean son?" Dad asked, confused.

I hesitated. What if they didn't accept me? What if Jazz was wrong? She was once, when Dad apologised on his and Mum's anniversary. Jazz had gone through her entire diary looking for mistakes. I wouldn't want her to have to do that again.

"You see…" I began.

"Yes?" my parents looked at me expectantly.

"I'm…I'm…"

"Just get on with it Danny," Jazz whispered to me. "Remember, they love you."

I swallowed nervously, "I'm Danny Phantom."

Danny: Oooooo a cliffy. Hayden, you are truly evil.

Me: I know, right! Anyway guys, hope you enjoyed the first chapter! It might take me a while to update. Like Danny said, I have 5 other stories going on at the moment. Please don't hate me! I want to update this as much as you want to find out what happens next! All the challenges will be in the same story, so that's why this chapter is called EXILE: Chapter 1, instead of just chapter 1. You get it? Good. Hope you liked it the monkey girl!
