Birth

Cradling the little baby, Maddie silently wished he would never grow up. He would stay here with her, and the bad people, no matter how much they clawed at the window and howled, would never get in. Her son would remain as pure as he was now.

As she thought this, he vanished.

Maddie blinked. She still felt his weight in her arms, but she couldn't see his adorable face.

When he reappeared, she sighed. She should have listened to Jack's lectures about prenatal exposure to ectoplasm.

Nevertheless, she kissed Daniel's forehead. She loved him just the way he was.

Death

"NO!" Paulina screamed. She ran between the Red Huntress and the ghost boy.

Valerie lowered her blaster. "Step back, lady."

"Why? So you can hurt him some more?" Paulina knelt beside her fallen hero. "Danny? Can you hear me?"

He groaned. His eyelids fluttered.

"Stay with me, Danny. You can do this."

He couldn't. He spluttered a few times and then stopped moving, a dead weight dragging Paulina to the floor.

The rings washed over his body one last time. The black jumpsuit became a white t-shirt. Ectoplasm became blood.

He left behind a sobbing admirer and a stunned killer.

Rebirth

A chill lingered in Nickelodeon Studios. Those glowing green eyes followed him wherever he went. A shadow waited for him in the corner of each room. It drove him crazy. "Leave me alone!" he shouted at last. "Can't you see I'm busy with The Fairly OddParents and Bunsen is a Beast?"

"WHY DID YOU KILL ME?" the ghost wailed in reply.

Unable to take this haunting harassment for much longer, Butch Hartman had no choice but to sit down and start working on the Danny Phantom reboot.

The End.

The fangirl smiled at her work. She could dream, couldn't she?
