A/N: I am really bad at updating these chapters.

Heck.

So someone noticed that Danny standing up to ghosts had kind of a parallel on the real world and i would like to congratulate you on that! I did, indeed, mean t to me like that. I love to make my readers learn life lessons and I have no idea why...usually fangirls/fanboys know what's up...

With that being said, I hope you enjoy and don't forget to leave a review if you want me to continue ;)

As Danny ate his food alone, he was admittedly pretty ticked off. He had knows that his family pretty much despises ghosts but James was the only one who cared about whatnot he was saying...

Then again he was the only one who has been saved by a ghost other than Jazz but he decided that she didn't count.

Danny sat for a while just looking at the gravy slowly fall down his mile of mashed potatoes and onto the white plate before noticing James had taken a seat next to him, his food nowhere to be seen.

Danny gave his cousin a confused look before James simply said, "I'm a fast eater," with a shrug.

Silence filled the room before James spoke up again, "I understand what you were saying about some ghosts being nice..."

"Did ya now?" Danny asked sarcastically, regretting it afterwards.

"Yeah. I had always wondered why we hated ghosts. Just because they're not like us they're considered evil. At one point, ghosts were humans and that always kinda scared me..."

Danny's bored look turned into a surprised smile at his cousin's words.

"I mean, there's good ghosts but the bad ones are the ones that show their faces around here. But to be fair, a small portion of them just wanna be somewhere other than the Ghost Zone. I mean, have you see that place? Nothing but doors, green swirls and a few realms," Danny rambled.

"You've been in the Ghost Zone?" James asked incredulously.

Danny was so caught up in rambling that he didn't even think when his response was, "I've practically lived there at times..."

When Danny saw the confused look on his cousin'a face, he knew he had said something wrong.

"What do you mean...?" James asked trying to make eye-contact with Danny. The halfa looked down and ignored the question. He didn't say anything until James repeated his name three times.

He let out a defeated sigh and he wasn't about to tell the truth before a lie came to him, "Having parents who have access to things like that makes it easy."

James gave his cousin a suspicious look before deciding to bring him down to the lab. Without any further explanation, he grabbed Danny by the arm and pulled him toward's the basement that he had recently witnessed Skulker and Danny fight in.

"My parents are working on a ghost portal. Well, they had been ever since Jack gave them his blueprints. At first they were too simple to figure out but I think I get it. You think you could help me finish what my parents started?" James explained as he shoved the portal blueprints into Danny's face.

"Honestly, James, this is a really bad idea. Last time I messed with the making of a ghost portal I got really badly injured...to say the least," Danny tried to persuade but James wasn't buying into it.

"C'mon, I promise I won't do the same thing you did!"

"I pressed the 'on' button," Danny said, almost monotoned.

"How could that have hurt you?" James asked.

"I'd prefer not to answer that question. I just don't think this is a good idea."

Before James could protest any further, his mom came down calling hienz name, "James? Are you down here, sweetie?"

"Yeah, mom!" James replied.

"Come on up, we're having desert!"

James looked to Danny once more with pleading eyes but the boy didn't shift.

"Coming!" The boy called back to his mom and walked upstairs. Danny faltered a bit a as he looked over his dad's blueprints.

Just to think how different his life would be if his dad had never messed up.

He put the blueprints on a desk and followed his cousin upstairs to where everyone was eating different types of pie.

The stink-eye he had gotten from almost all of his relatives soiled his appetite, though.

A/N: I know this chapter is insanely short but I thought it would be best to just get it out there because it's been a while since chapter two.

As always R&R and I promise James will not be like almost every single OC and he will not be getting ghost powers.

Just in case anyone thought that.

Thanks for reading and I'll see you all next time! BYE!
