This is just an interpretation of what I think would happen if Valerie figured out Danny's secret, the end is kind of lousy but I hope you enjoy!

I do not own Danny Phantom

"I've got you now ghost scum." Valerie whispered to herself from her hiding place in the bushes. Slowly she raised her plasma gun and pointed it at the white haired boy who was conveniently caught in an ecto web caught around his ankle spun by a ghost spider that had been sucked into the boy's thermos.

As he pulled at the sticky goo encasing his ankle (which hung from a tree branch, making it so that he hung upside down,) Danny Phantom mumbled something under his breath. "Stupid spider. There's a reason I hate bugs." Valerie's finger was placed strategically on the trigger of the gun as a red dot was placed onto the ghost's forehead.

The struggling boy somehow noticed the laser pointed at his head and quit struggling, looking into the bushes he could just barely make out the face of Amity Park's ghost hunter. "Oh crud!" He exclaimed as the plasma beam shot straight at him.

Danny curled up around the branch and the beam grazed his right shoulder. "Gah!" He clutched his wound and looked back for Valerie. Another beam shot out but this time, Danny was ready. Opening his hands, he managed to catch the plasma beam and shoot it at the spider goo.

Forgetting he both was hanging upside down from a tree and was able to float, Danny fell head first to the ground with a thump. He sat up rubbing his white hair and yelled in surprise as he looked up to see Valerie on her hover-board floating directly in front of him.

"Say goodbye ghost chump!" She yelled and stepped back so that an electric shock charged between the front appendages which looked oddly like a crescent moon. As the green lightning bolt sat in a line in front of Danny he smiled.

"Goodbye." He said, waving for effect as he turned intangible and fell through the ground.

"Oh no you don't." Valerie looked to her wrist for the ghost tracker to see not one but two ghosts heading in opposite directions. "Gotcha."

She set off after him and sped up drastically when she saw him come out from the ground and tangible again. He flew off with his fists in front of him like Superman and his ghostly tail waving behind him.

He looked back over his wounded shoulder to see how close Valerie had gotten when something knocked him off course and out of the ghost hunter's path. Confused, Valerie looked on her locator to see the two ghosts were together to her left. "Hmm… AAAHHH!" She looked up to realize that she was still flying but noticed too late and slammed into a tree.

"Ugh! What the…" Danny fell silent as he realized who his attacker was. "Skulker!" Danny leapt off of the ground and into the air. "Now's really not the best time Dude. Can't you, I don't know do something productive, like… bowling, or maybe an art class?"

"Oh do wish you would quit with the nasty comments, they do get on my nerve's ghost child." Pointing his right arm at Danny, a shot of more ecto goo shot out of his wrist and over Danny's mouth.

"Mmmhmhnnmh!" He mumbled.

"What's that? I can't quite hear you?" Skulker teased. "No matter, you're coming with me." He shot a net out of his metal suit which encased Danny. As he began to take off something stopped him midflight.

"Not on my watch Ghost!" Valerie shouted, twigs and leaves were lain atop her hover-board. "That's my prize." Danny couldn't tell which he was happier to be with since they both wanted to kill him but found that with Skulker's newfound distraction, he would be able to escape from his prison.

Using an ecto black from his hands, Danny crashed through the net and flew out and hopefully away from his hunters. As he worked on the goo with one hand, he could hear whirring behind him. He tore off the ecto goo and grunted at the pain before looking back to see both hunters speeding after him.

"If I can't have you, Ghost child, I will at least be able to ruin your life, you will be begging for me to take you, just you wait." Skulker yelled.

At first, Danny didn't understand, that is, until the spine chilling pain of the largest electric shock coursed through every one of his veins. "GAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed. Valerie stared cluelessly at the boy. As suddenly as the pain came, the shock was gone and Danny was falling.

Valerie sped down at the now unconscious ghost boy and was thrilled to have the opportunity with no intangibility, invisibility, or snide comments getting in her way. She came down to where the boy was sprawled on his back, trying to stay awake.

"Any last words." Valerie asked snickering.

She placed her boot up against the boy's face and he grunted as she did so. His eyes began to close and his breathing became harsher. His eyes fell on Valerie's and she felt a pang of sympathy for a moment.

His eyes closed and a black circle split at the stomach and traveled up and down. Valerie staggered backward as she saw who the ghost boy was. "Danny F-Fenton?" Her eyes wide with shock.

It was dark when Danny woke up, he sat up slowly and rubbed his head. "Ugh." He grunted as his mind bobbed about his head. He woke up instantly as the realization hit him. "Valerie! Did she-"

"See you, yes." Danny turned, a gut wrenching churn in his stomach told him he was in for it now. Valerie had taken off her equipment and her curly hair spiraled down her shoulders. "And now, I want answers. How are you a ghost when your parents are hunting you? How have they not caught you?"

Danny sent her a look that said really? "You have met my parents haven't you? They don't know what I am."

"And that ghost?"

"Skulker, an evil ghost who pretty much has only one purpose which is to 'collect' me."

"And he changed you to ruin your life. Why does he think that would ruin your life?"

Danny looked at her as though it should be obvious. "Because you know me… and you kinda hate me in both forms."

"And he figures I'll tell, right?"

"Uh, yeah."

"I won't."

"What? You're not going to hunt me anymore? But I thought you-"

"I'm still hunting you, just not your human form, and don't you think we're friends now either." She shot him a look before running off into the forest.
