Jazz

I was sitting in the train car prison with Mom and Dad trying to think of a way out of here. I knew that Danny, Sam, and Tucker were getting those gems. After all, Danny has what is known as a Hero's Complex. No matter what, he just HAS to save the day.

I blame those Spiderman comic books Grandpa Fenton gave him

Suddenly, Danny, Sam, and Tucker appear in a cloud of ghost tattoos. I got up and ran to the bars as did Mom and Dad

"Well, well. Look what the bats dragged in. with my reality gems" Freakshow said

"I don't think so!" Danny said while pulling out the thermos which promptly got stolen from him by the ghost tattoos and tied him and the rest of the gang up " Wha- Oh no"

Freakshow pulled out the gems and placed them into their slots in the gauntlet

"The gem of life, the gem of form. The Gem of fantasy. And put them with the power source and… thanks to you I now know how to activate the gauntlet"

He laughed as he pushed them in the code

"Danny! Stop him!" Sam yelled at my brother

Danny struggled in the binds, "I can't break free!"

"Thanks to you. I am now Ringmaster of all reality!" Freakshow gloated as he waved his hand and reality started changing from plants coming to life to the sky turning a dark purple

"Neato huh?"

Had this taken place before I knew that my brother was half-ghost, I wouldn't have believed this possible.

"Let 'em go, Freakshow. I brought you the gems. We had a deal!" Danny demanded

"The deal was bring me the gems if you want to see them alive again. Well, here they are…alive…for now." Freakshow said pointing to us

Figures that double-crossing creep would pull a fast one.

Suddenly, all went black. The next thing I knew, I was in the back car of a roller coaster with Mom and Dad. The Foleys in front of us and Sam and Tucker in the front car. I looked around and saw that Freakshow changed a few more things of reality

Then, the coaster started.

Have I mentioned that I HATE roller coasters?

After a few minutes, I hear Freakshow's voice

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Freaks of all ages. May I direct your attention to the center ring where Danny Phantom, a.k.a. Danny Fenton will attempt to rescue his friends and family from a ghastly doom of my own construction"

Danny flew in front of the cars. No doubt planning to use his powers to stop the fast ride.

Just then, he flashed yellow and turned into a jelly-like material, obviously unable to move.

"Hey! What did you…oh man"

Before I knew it, we were passing the spot where Danny had been and the material that Danny had turned into went flying in different directions.

"Only to be stopped at every turn by the master of all reality"

Logic was screaming at me that my brother was now 100 percent dead. But I couldn't believe it.

"Danny!" Sam yelled

"It can't be!" Tucker exclaimed in shock

"No!" Dad shouted

"Danny! NOOO!" Mom cried out as she tried to jump out of the car only to be held back by Dad. So, she just embraced him and sobbed.

Like a mother who had lost her child

I personally couldn't believe this. My super-hero brother…gone? He couldn't be stopped by any of the other ghosts. Not the Crate Creep. Not Ghost X. Not Vlad. Not even his future evil self.

But this….control freak who has a severe case of ghost envy?

It didn't seem right.

I can only think of one good thing out of this mess: seeing my parents' reaction to what just now happened, I now know that without a doubt they accepted Danny for what he is…was.

I hear screams from the front and notice a fire-breathing Jack-in-the-Box clown jumping at intervals.

Judging by the speed we're going and the rate the clown is breathing fire, we're going to be barbequed.

I brace for the heat, but then I notice a familiar black and white blur fly past me. A green and white ecto-sheild formed and I noticed Danny, alive (well, as alive as a half-ghost can get) and well.

"Danny!" I exclaim happily

"He's alive!" Dad states happily

I then remember telling Danny three days ago about my thesis.

"He has ghost envy! Use psychology!" I shouted at Danny hoping he got the hint

His typical clueless expression crossed his face, but then it brightened as he understood

I knew living with me had to rub off on him someday.

He flew just above up as we approached two rock crushers. Before we reached it, he blasted them with an ecto-blast with a triumphant smirk on his face as if he had just outsmarted a bully

"Oh no. You do not get to leave this world with a smile" Freakshow said

Please tell me you understood the hint correctly Danny

"Why wouldn't I smile? So what if you're the most powerful human on earth? No matter what you do, I'm half ghost and…uh…you're not" Danny gloated as if he was teasing me while flying around and showing off his powers.

So far so good. Danny just needed to trick Freakshow into turning himself into a full ghost and then get his hands on the thermos

"I am the master of all reality" Freakshow reminded Danny

"Oh sure, but can you do this?" Danny bragged while stretching to a C shape to avoid a blast

The Crowd cheers

"What? NO! He's not the star of this circus! I am! ME!" Freakshow exclaimed

Man. This guy had a real want of attention.

"Ghost powers" Danny taunted while vanishing and then reappeared with ectoplasm surrounding his hands "Ghost energy. Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!"

With each 'ghost' Danny fired the blasts making a smiley face in Freakshow's hat

The crowd cheers again

"I WILL NOT BE UPSTAGED BY A GHOST!" Freakshow shouted as he threw a temper tantrum worse than anything Danny or I did as a kid.

The crowd Boos and throws trash and food at the giant Freakshow

Danny said something, but I couldn't hear over the crowd

"Enough!" Freakshow shouted as he used his gauntlet to throw Danny to the ground "I may be loosing control of the crowd, but I control all reality. And if you think being a half ghost is so cool,…"

He pushed a few buttons on the gauntlet and he flashed white. Sure enough, he turned himself into a really ugly full ghost "What do you think of me, now that I'm ALL ghost!"

Sucker

Danny reached for the thermos and sucked Freakshow in as the gauntlet came off.

I turned to the front and saw that we were heading straight for a batch of nuclear waste. Even at Danny's speed, he wouldn't be able to reach us in time

I screamed as did everyone else

Before we landed, the tub turned into a giant rubber ducky pool of water

When I emerged from the brief swim, I noticed Danny landing on the edge wearing the gauntlet

"Are you guys okay?" Danny asked his friends frantically before noticing Sam and Tucker's parents "Oh. Hi Mr. and Mrs. Manson. Mr. and Mrs. Foley"

Suddenly, there was a large wall of ghosts and Lydia showed up looking pissed off

Danny just smirked and pointed the glowing yellow gauntlet at her

"And as for you…"

She then turned into a fish, hammer, apple, and teddy bear before back to normal

Lydia fled screaming upon seeing she was no match for my baby brother.

Danny then flew up and flashed the gauntlet white thus turning everything back to normal.

When he was done, he landed and transformed back into his human form.

"Danny!" Dad called out

"Young man" Mom added sternly as if he had just missed curfew again

Wait. This didn't match their behavior on that ride.

"I-I'm sorry" Danny apologized

I relaxed as Dad hugged Danny TIGHTLY. They were probably just doing that freak out to warn him not to pull those dangerous stunts in front of them again.

"We're very proud of you son" Dad said.

I could hear the truth in their voices.

Mom apparently couldn't hold back because as soon as Dad released Danny's shoulder, she practically tackled him

"Oh my baby boy!" She exclaimed before kissing him

Danny pulled away, face covered in Mom's lipstick with his famous clueless expression.

How Mom and Dad didn't find out because of that is beyond me. I had my excuse as Danny Phantom wasn't known when I learned of Danny's condition

"But I lied to you. Over and over for a really long time. If I were you guys I'd be furious." Danny argued

Danny. For crying out loud. They accept you. Just accept that fact.

"Well, Of course you lied to us. We never gave you a reason not to" Mom said

I smiled. She did take what I said to heart

"All this time we've been yammering on about destroying and dissecting ghosts, I'd have been terrified too if I were you"

Wow. Dad listened too?

"We love You Sweetie. YOU." Mom assured Danny

"Whether you're ghost, boy, or something in between" Dad put in

"And I appreciate that." Danny said before hugging them "More than you'll ever know."

He pulled out and looks at the gauntlet.

"Or will ever remember"

Wait? He's going to make them FORGET?

All went blank.

When I came back around, I found myself downstairs with Mom looking a bit dazed.

Odd. One moment I was in a field with Mom and Dad accepting Danny for what he was and now it was as if that adventure had never happened.

"HEY!" I heard Dad shout. "Yeah You! You've got a lot of nerve floating around like that!"

After hearing a few blasts I noticed Mom was looking a bit confused.

She shrugged it off

"Hey Mom?" I asked innocently. "What do you think of the idea that Danny might be the ghost around here?"

"Don't be ridiculous Jazz." Mom laughed "If you're referring to the phase where your Dad was believing that you were the ghost, that was only a phase we managed to talk him out of. Your Dad wouldn't hurt Danny"

I heard another ectoblast from a bazooka.

Couldn't Danny have wiped the memory of the rest of the world and left Mom and Dad's in tact?
