Wow, three reviews already... thanks guys!

ghostanimal: Thanks! Yeah, I like this version of Danny better.

WhiteWinterStar: Yes, I know it was rushed, that's just my writing style. I start off a little rushed and then I slow it down. I don't know why, but I always get a lot of good feedback because of it. I also get writer's block a lot, so sorry!

DannySamLover20: Thanks!

Woo, okay, now that I'm done with the review thank you's thank you everyone for favoriting (yeah... that's not a word) and following!

On with the show!

Maddie POV

"Mom, I'm home!" I heard Danny yell. I looked up from the Spector Deflector; it needed some work, and I was obviously going to take this one and the duplicate. There was no way I was going to let any ghosts bother us. Danny and I needed some time to talk.

"I'm down in the basement!" I called up the steps, walking back to my work. I was trying to make it so it prevented any ghost from coming within ten feet of the person wearing it. It would initially hurt the ghost, whether the device touched it or not.

I hadn't realized Danny had come down, so when he groaned, I jumped a little.

"Come on, mom... please don't tell me we're taking that." He folded his arms across his chest, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course we are, Danny. We can't have any ghosts bothering us."

"Mom, I know this is asking a lot of you, but please. I don't want to take any Fenton inventions, especially not your Lipstick Laser."

I sighed. Was it worth it to risk our lives just to get in some bonding time? Maybe it was, hence the fact that I haven't spent time with my baby boy since he was fourteen.

"Fine, Danny. Now go pack your bag."

Danny grinned and ran up the steps. I quickly picked up the Spector Deflector and snuck it in my bag. Danny may not need to wear it, but I will, at least. Then that way, as long as he stays within ten feet of me, we'll both be safe.

I walked up the steps with my bag and the keys to the RV. Danny was already inside the RV, buckling up. I walked out and put my bag in the back with his.

"Alright, are you ready to go?"

Danny smirked. "Am I ever! It's going to be nice to get away from Amity for a while." A blue wisp came out of his mouth, and his smile faded. "Uh..."

"Danny?"

"I'll be right back, mom."

What in God's name was the blue thing? It looked like he was cold, or something... it was freaky.

He came back, and closed the door. "Alright, let's go."

I drove out of our parking spot and down the street. Something about that blue mist wouldn't let me stop thinking about it. There was no possible way he was cold, it's 80 degrees out. Maybe he had chewed minty gum... but that wouldn't make something come out of his mouth. Maybe I was seeing smells!

No, no... that only happens with LSD. What was it...?

"Mom, I think you can stop now. We're far enough into the woods, we can camp here."

I stopped the RV, getting our stuff out and laying it down.

"So, Danny, what do you want to do first?" I asked him. He was looking at the lake, grinning.

"What's so funny?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing. Just remembering the time when the bo-" he stopped himself completely. Then he cleared his throat and said, "How about we just take a walk, mom?"

I nodded. "Sounds good. Just let me get the keys." I walked over to my bag and got out the keys. I also got out the Spector Deflector and put it on underneath my shirt. I put my keys in my pocket and turned on the device.

"Okay, let's go!"

As we walked down the trail, I noticed Danny wincing, as if he were in pain. Maybe he just had a stomachache.

"You okay?"

"Yeah... just a headache."

I nodded. "Danny, I know there's been something going on for the past few years... I need to know what's bothering you, honey."

He looked away from me. "There's nothing going on, Mom."

"Is it girl problems?"

"What? No, this isn't about Sam."

I stopped walking a raised an eyebrow. "I never even mentioned Sam's name."

He laughed nervously and rubbed the back of his neck, blushing.

"Danny, I know you like her. And I know she likes you, too."

"Trust me, she doesn't. I'm a freak," he mumbled.

"Daniel James Fenton, you are not a freak!" I exclaimed, crossing my arms over my chest. "You are a smart, bright, young boy, and you need to stop doubting yourself."

Danny sighed. "Thanks, mom."

"You're my baby boy, and you're a very good kid."

He grinned.

What did you think? Love it? Like it? Hate it?
