Danny's death was handled relatively well by his parents, especially when their son came through the Fenton Portal and scared Jack almost to the point where HE went half-ghost.

Maddie was saddened, yet proud that her son kept his heroic personality and overall 'Danny-ness' after becoming a "Filthy, putrid full ghost"

"Oh I see." Danny muttered good-humourly "When I was the Halfa, she was proud of me. Now that I'm not, I'm filthy?"

"Filthy but still our son!" Jack said, hugging him tightly.

"Can't...breathe...getting crushed...by Fenton bear hug..."

"Stop whining! You don't need to breathe anymore!" Jack said, tears in his eyes. Manly tears.

"Misconception!" Danny squeaked.

"Jack." Maddie coaxed "Let Danny go so he can explain himself. This is going into the Fenton Ghost Log!"

"WAIT!" Jazz said, throwing her arms in the air "What kind of parents are you?! Danny is DEAD, and the first thing you want to do is GHOST RESEARCH?! Danny is never coming back home! Technicly he already has but that's not the point!"

She threw herself at her brother, clutching him tightly, tears running down her face. With him against her chest, she burst into even more tears. "You have no heartbeat." She sobbed in his ear. "You're cold, colder than you were as Phantom."

Danny clutched his sister "But I'm still me, Jazz. No, I won't be here most days...but..." he looked into her eyes and flashed a tear-filled grin "That doesn't mean I won't come home. As long as the Portal stays open, Danny Phantom will continue to haunt Amity Park...and Danny Fenton will always haunt this house. Well.." he snickered, pulling on his jumpsuit where his logo sat "In spirit anyway."

"Don't worry Dannyboy! That Portal will stay open...wait...that would let in ghosts!" he gave his son a suspicious glare, and Danny laughed nervously Jazz covered for him.

"I'm sure he meant relatively speaking Dad. Of course we can't leave it open constantly! That would be...irresponsible..."

"Of course Jazz! Our son would never ask us to be...that! Now, who wants fudge?"

Jazz groaned before turning back to her brother, an idea slowly forming in her mind as she swiped away her tears.

"Maybe you don't have to be here only in spirit."

"What are you getting at?" Danny asked, looking nervous "Look Jazz...unless you can invent something to bring people back from the dead...I stay full ghost."

"Would you shut up and let me explain? Thank you. Now, remember that evil future you? He created an illusion of your human body...when he was full ghost AND ten years older than you."

"Yeah so? I can't do that."

"Yet! You also said he said he didn't get his Ghostly Wail until ten years from now, yet you can wail just fine right now."

Danny thought about it, and floated upwards to think some more

"Well...I guess I could do the shape shifting thing...but it will take me a while to perfect it. It may take longer than duplication...wich had taken months and months and months to even split myself in half let alone like Vlad or Dan..."

"I'll take it!"

Danny sighed. "Well...how do we explain my absence at school?"
