Danny Phantom (c) Butch Hartman

Story (c) t-rex989 and I

Danny Phantom watched with satisfaction as the hundreds of ghost who had helped him turn the world intangible to avoid an asteroid flew back into the portal above him. He had really done it. He, a fourteen year old kid, who no one ever suspected was capable of doing anything important in his life, had just saved the world and the Ghost Zone. Never in his life did he ever think that he would accidentally gain ghost powers, and become a hero. Yet, here he was. Only a few seconds after the last ghost had gone into the portal, a voice broke though his train of thought. "Nice job Danny, or should we say...Danny."

Danny turned and looked in shock at a big man standing before him. "What, uh," he said nervously, before putting on a mask of indifference and making his voice sound deeper to try to disguise who he was. "Sorry citizens, but I have no idea what you are talking about!"

A woman beside the large man just smiled and gently pushed down Danny's outstretched arm. She knelt down and said to him softly but with a hint of knowing in her voice. "Isn't there something you want to tell us?"

The ghost boy continued to stare blackly at the woman before him. These were his parents that were before him. His ghost hunting parents, who were not supposed to know who he was. A million questions raced though his mind. Did his parents know who he was, were they mad, and how did they find out, were just a few of the questions. As to confirm his thoughts on his parents knowing his secret his sister came up behind him and said. "It's okay Danny...they know." The ghost boy tilted his head to to the side, debating over a few things. After a few seconds though his face hardened and a bright light appeared at his waist. The rings separated and traveled in opposite detections changing a black and white jumpsuit into jeans and a t-shirt, snow white hair into raven black, electric green eyes into baby blue, and Danny Phantom into Danny Fenton. There was silence for several moments, shocked expressions were on the faces of every person, there and all over the world. Then finally, cheering and applauds erupted from the crowd. A smile appeared on the boy's face as the cheering continued. The circle of people surrounding him closed in, and the young boy began to get smothered. There were people patting him on the back, taking pictures, and (from the people Danny knew) giving hugs.

With all of the attention, Danny started to feel uncomfortable. Also, they were at the South Pole, and he had no jacket. So needless to say, he was freezing. At seeing Danny's discomfort, Jack let out a high pitched whistle to catch everyone's attention. "Hey everyone!" Jack shouted. "Why don't we move this inside so that we can all get out of the cold." A few mutters of agreement were heard before everyone turned and started to walk back to the control room. Once inside, Maddie fetched Danny a spare jacket, who accepted it gratefully.

Food and drinks were brought out, as a celebration party commenced. Danny immediately went for the Hot Chocolate, and sipped it happily. All the while his eyes scanned around the room, looking for his friends. Once he spotted them he tried to make a beeline towards them, but was stopped several time by people who wanted to congratulation him or ask him questions. One of these people who stopped him happened to be an African-American girl with long, curly, black hair and dark green eyes. "Valerie!" Danny said in surprise. His surprise turned to nervousness, as he realized that she now new he was her most hated enemy. "L-look V-Valerie, I'm really sorry about all that h-has happened b-between you and P-Phantom. B-b-but that dog w-wasn't mine, and-" He was cut off as a hand covered his mouth.

"No, Danny," Valerie sighed. "It's me who should be apologizing. I never gave Phantom a chance, all I did was jump to conclusions. I should have listened to you when you said you were not evil, but I was just to set on believing that I was right, and all ghosts were evil. I acted out of anger and spite, not out of rational thinking. I'm really sorry Danny." With that Valerie removed her hand from Danny's mouth and cracked a small smile at the shocked boy in front of her. She then took a deep breath stuck her arm back out in front of her. "Friends?" she asked.

Danny looked in shock at her hand before a smile graced his lips, and he shook her hand. "Friends," he confirmed. He smiled brightly before saying. "Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go find Tucker and Sam."

"No problem, have a good rest of the party."

"Same to you," Danny replied, before turning and making his way though the crowed.

After getting stopped by more people, Danny finally made his way over to his friends. "Hey guys!"

"Hey dude!" Tucker said excitedly. "So, what it like being a world saving hero?"

Danny blushed and muttered. "It's uh...interesting so far."

Sam smiled and gently put her arms around the blushing boy neck, planting a kiss on his lips. "Well, now that you're famous, you had better not forget about us little people."

Danny chuckled and gently kissed her back. "I don't think that's possible."

"Finally!" Tucker squealed, his voice interrupting Sam as she started to go in for another kiss. "I just knew you two would end up together!" Then under his breath he added, "Now I can collect the money from those bets."

"Yeah well...wait what did you say?" Danny asked.

"Nothing," Tucker replied innocently. "Nothing at all."

"Tucker, I could have sworn you said something about bets."

"I said no such thing!"

Sam growled and gripped Tucker by his shirt, hoisting him off the ground. "What did you say?"

"Alright, alright, yeesh," Tucker grumbled. Sam smiled in satisfaction and let a scowling Tucker go. "I just said that I was going to collect the money from the bets I made about you two getting together."

"Tucker!" Both Sam and Danny shouted.

"You put bets on us?" Danny asked, a little hurt.

"It wasn't just me," Tucker said defensively. "Practically the whole school placed bets on you two."

"But I can guess who started it," Sam glared.

Tucker smiled sheepishly at them. Danny just sighed and said. "Look, why don't we just forget about it, and enjoy the rest of the party. I for one, could go for another cup of Hot Chocolate." The other two nodded eagerly and with that trio headed for the buffet table.

Meanwhile, after Maddie had given Danny the jacket, she rushed over to Jack and pulled him to the side a worried look present on her face. "Jack, do you think that it might be time to tell Danny about...them?"

"Maddie, we weren't suppose to tell him anything until he was eighteen."

"I know, but...he already has his... you know what, and I believe he is mature enough to handle it."

"But...but that means that..." Jack trailed off.

"I know Honey, but I think it will be for the best."

Jack let out a defeated sigh and nodded. "Alright, we will tell him when we get back home." The two adults turned their attention back to the boy they called son. Their eyes followed him as he tried to make his way to his friends, only to get stopped countless times. They watched as he accepted congratulations, thanks, and answered their questions the best he could even though it was awkward for him. An immense feeling of pride welled up in their chests, but also a sense of sadness filled them. For them this was one of the best, yet worst days of their lives.

After the party ended, a private jet came to pick up Danny, his family, and his friends. The jet was high class, and very expensive looking. There was a flat screen TV that hung from the ceiling, along with a gaming system, a fully stocked mini fridge, and a bar. The best part though, according to Danny, was the big, soft, white chairs that were in there. The minute Danny entered the plane, he ran over to the nearest and coziest looking chair and collapsed. He really hadn't had much sleep in the past few days, due to the content worry that he would not be able to pull off the whole save the world plan. Before the plane even took off, the exhausted ghost boy was deep in sleep.

Maddie and Jack made their way over to the sleeping ghost boy and sighed. "We will talk to him about it tomorrow." Maddie said quietly.

It was almost four in the morning before the Fentons made it back to their house. Exhausted, everyone trudged their way up the stares and collapsed onto their beds. Soon the whole house was asleep.

The next morning, well afternoon, the Fenton adults and Jazz managed to drag their butts out of bed. Maddie went downstairs to the kitchen, and started preparing a breakfast fit for a king. She prepared eggs, sausage, bacon, pancakes, and just about anything else you could imagine that you would have for breakfast.

Danny was still upstairs, sleeping soundlessly, when he smelt food. The smell of it was enough to drag the boy out of his bed and down the stairs.

"Good morning, our little hero," Maddie cooed, gently kissing Danny on the head.

"Moooooom," Danny whined.

Maddie just chuckled and turned back to the stove. After a couple of minutes, she set down a plate full of food in front of Danny. The hungry teenager immediately started to devour his food. Jazz looked on in disgust as her farther started doing the same thing after a plate was placed in front of him. She rolled her eyes as she started to eat her breakfast in a calm fashion.

"Um, Danny," Maddie said nervously.

Danny stopped shoveling food into his mouth and looked up. "Yeah mom."

"Uh...we need to talk about a few things after breakfast."

Danny nodded slowly, then turned his attention back to his meal. This time though, he ate slower.

After a awkward rest of breakfast, the four headed into the living room. Danny and Jazz sat on the couch, while the two adults went to the two chairs.

"So, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Danny asked nervously, a knot forming in his stomach. Between the press, fans, the celebration party, and exhaustion, he hadn't had much time to talk to his parents. He didn't know for sure if they fully accept him, and this worried him.

"Well Danny... we wanted wait to tell you this till you were eighteen but... we believe that it would be better for you to know now," Maddie said as calmly as she could, trying not to show just how worried she really was. Danny however could see right past his mothers mask, and the knot in his stomach tightened even more. What could be so bad that they wanted to wait until he was older to tell him?

"Danny..." Maddie said quietly, before taking a deep breath and saying louder. "Jack and I are not your real parents."
