Disclaimer :I don't own Danny Phantom or the song in this chapter
6:07 a.m Maddie opened her eyes and sat straight up, the bed creaking as she did, Jack was snoring softly beside her; exhausted from the last project that took a whole night to finish. She gathered her thoughts and tried to make up her mind; Phantom was a danger to Amity and it's inhabitants, she knew that well, that being a huge part of her work, but somehow, he seemed to have feelings and empathy, but that was impossible, ghosts are emotionless and evil creatures, with their only goal being to bring chaos wherever there was peace. Maddie was conflicted between the ideas, were ghost capable of emotions? Or did they fake them to approach and then stab in the back?
Her brows knitted as a thought made it's way into her brain, What if Phantom was faking it? What if it was all an act? Her footsteps were muffled by the carpet as she made her way to Danny's room.
The door made a light creaking sound as she peeked inside , the raven haired boy snoring quietly, the covers laid abandoned on the floor, the fan still spinning at the max; she let out a sigh of relief before a faint beeping from her pocket distracted her;
Ten seconds later she was in the park, the same foliage from the night before rustled as she kneeled and held her ectogun tight in her fingers, tense like a guitar string.
Speaking of guitars, a certain snow haired ghost was holding one in that exact moment, his gloves hanged lazily from the rock he had placed them on, his fingers were strumming the guitar gently to test the strings, he played a few notes ;then , without hesitation , he started;
If I could begin to be
Half of what you think of me
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
When I see the way you act
Wondering when I'm coming back
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love
Like you
Maddie 's mind tried to concentrate ,but the slight echoy and fascinating voice intruded her thoughts and set them ablaze, the active voice recorder still in the other hand.
I always thought I might be bad
Now I'm sure that its true
'cause I think you're so good
And I'm nothing like you
His voiced raised and his eyes fluttered closed
Look at you go
I just adore you
I wish that I knew
What makes you think I'm so special….
His voice lowered and his hand twitched as the final strums arrived
…If I could begin to do
Something that does right by you
I would do about anything
I would even learn how to love
His voice lowered to nothing as another voice, less firm but more sweet and human intruded and sat near him
When I see the way you look
Shaken by how long it took
The voices joined together , mixed but still distinct
I could do about anything
I could even learn how to love like you.
The boys hummed the last note before the raven haired boy scooped up the other into an embrace and started spinning, the Ghost's feet lifted off the ground and a light enveloped them, their forms combining into one.
Maddie knew ,looking at her son, that he was truly happy, as he grabbed his backpack and waved to her from the front door ,she noticed a light in his eyes, she knew that light, she had seen it many times when Danny was little, while talking about space or playing with Tucker ,It meant Euphoria. She smiled.

She smiled and wiped the last of the ectoplasm from her googles.
