A/N : Okay, I saw a bunch of these of these the other day while reading, and I thought, what a good thing to do with all those writer's block one-shots that are collecting dust in my computer! So, I hope you enjoy!
This is during PP, right when the Fenton Jet comes flying from the portal.
I actually quoted most of the dialogue, so I don't own that either.
Disclaimer- If I owned it, it would still be on the air. Trust me.
" He's coming back!" and the jet came flying back. I smiled and cheered with the rest of them, my euphoria at the world being saved overshadowed my long clung-to grudge agianst the ghost child.
But, then the world flipped on its axis, and I watched, horrified, as the jet sailed over our heads and crash landed into a nearby mountain. It was like seeing everything you had worked for in life being recognized, and then having it ripped away from you. It was numbing, to have everything going so perfectly only to have it turn a one-eighty and grab the rug from beneath your feet. He had been our last chance, and not even his ghost powers could save him from a crash like that.
" Danny," I heard it over everything else in the room, Jazz, her voice coming out shocked.
Why in the world would she mourn a ghost? And did it have to be him? It was an irrational thought, yes, but I couldn't help but to let it come, because the way it sounded, normal, kept me from breaking down.
And not a second later, Sam caming running, pressing herself to the window.
" No. No. He- he can't be." In all the many years I had known Samantha Manson I had never heard such a weak, vulnerable, sound come from her. But, now she sounded on the verge of tears. The same irrational thought coursed through my head.
" It's coming!"
That's when everything kind of fell into place. It was the end, and the only thought in my head was, I need to be with my family.
And my family was there, I wrapped them in a hug, wishing we could stay like this a bit longer.
" Listen, I just want you all to know that," I paused, feeling the tears coming, " I love you, and I am so proud of each and everyone of you for trying your best." I felt Jazz put a hand on mine.
" We love you too, dad." she said, sad and strangled.
" At least we're all together." Maddie said softly, but I felt my heart drop to the floor, because there was one person who wasn't part of this hug. That's when I heard Jazz sniff and I looked down.
" I- oh Mom, there's something you need to know." she cried and I had to stop myself from panicking. The feeling only got worse when Maddie walked out from under me, speeding toward where Danny was supposed to be.
She took one look, an angry look came over her face. I almost questioned her sanity when she reached up of tugged on his hair, but the words dies when every strand of jet black hair came off in a fluid movement as the wig fell. She gasped, jumping back, the look returning.
" A robot? Where's Danny?" she sounded angry, but I could hear the panic swelling in her like it was in me. She turned back to us. " Jazzmine, where's your brother?" she screamed.
But I watched, as astonished as Maddie, as Jazz blinked away tears and looked out the window at the still smoking remains of the mountain. She sucked in a paniced breath.
" Jack!" she never looked away from the smoke curling from the crash. " Where's Danny?"
I didn't have an answer.
" Look!" It was Sam. " The portal!"
I raced over to the other window, the one with a full view of the swirling green vortex portal. I sucked in an amazed breath, a horde, more ghosts than I had ever seen in my entire life, were flying at rapid speeds toward the tower. All of them led by a single figure in black abd white. I let out a strangled cheer, letting my relief of my family's lives, and my own, wash over me.
I ran to my station, typing in all the right codes. And then I watched.
The ghosts clung to the tower, throwing their energy into the metal, and then a voice came over the loud speaker, strained, like they were throwing everything they had into that pole.
" Tucker- How-Much- Longer?" the voice was the Ghost Boy's, but it held something else. Something incredibly familiar. I had only heard that voice one time, it wasn't even too long ago. And it was Danny, our Danny, running in after curfew and panting " Not- my- fault." before passing out on the couch.* That's when I remembered, Jazz, something we needed to hear.
" Now!" Tucker shouted into the head set, and the world disappeared into a hazy, faded copy of what it had been.
After a moment, the voice came again, that same strained, tired tone.
" Where's the asteroid?"
And then it hit us. An odd feeling of numbness was all the million ton rock did to us, and it passed harmlessly through our world. The ground at my feet was solid again.
I turned to Maddie, and hugged her, smiling at our success. I looked over, and Sam and Jazz were locked in a similar embrace, and Tucker smiled and let out a sigh of massive relief.
I frowned though, and headed over to Jazz, pulling Maddie with me. She pulled away from Sam and faced me pointing out the window and grinning.
" I hope you're proud of your son." she said simply, and the last puzzle peice fell into place. I felt my jaw drop, but it was from relief, because I finally knew, I knew what was so important that I was just missing. And I let a proud grin tug at my lips as Jazz sprinted for the stairs with Sam and Tucker. I was proud, because my son, he was a hero.
And I was happy, happy for my son, happy for the world. But's that's when Maddie put the puzzle pieces together, and I was barely able to catch her as she fainted. I smiled as I shook her awake.
A/N: The updates for these are going to be kinda slow, but it should be around every two weeks if not shorter, sorry!
Reviews are better than a good nap.
