I follow my mom around town helping her fight ghosts and get people inside of the Ghost shield. It's a bit harder to do when I can't use my powers, but with the amount of Fenton gear we have, I manage.

"There's one over there," I point out and mom takes care of the little ectopuss.

"Behind you!" My mom warns and I suck it up into the furnace without really looking at, though I didn't have to look to know who it was. His cries gave him away.

"I am the Box Ghost and you can not harm me!" If I wanted to harm you, I would have kicked you. I smile as my mom gets another ghost under control. Now this is how Fenton's bond. I feel something hit me hard and suddenly I hit the wall of a building. I groan as I fall to the ground.

"Sorry, Danny! I thought you were a ghost!" I hear my dad call out.

"It's ok," I groan out as mom helps me to my feet.

"I've never seen so many ghosts out of the Ghost Zone at the same time before," mom says.

"We might need some help," I start. "And I know exactly who to ask. You might find this hard to believe, but we have some ghost hunters at the school."

"You do?' My parents ask at the same time.

"Yeah. Jazz, Sam, Tucker, and Valerie. Though I'm sure Valerie is already out here helping. We should go get Jazz and my friends. I hope that you aren't mad that I taught Sam and Tucker how to use your equipment."

"We could use the help," dad says.

"Or we can make this a family bonding thing," mom suggests.

"That's a great idea! I'll go get Jazzy-pants," dad says before running off.

"How long have you been hunting ghosts?" Mom asks as I suck one into the thermos. How much can I get away with telling her?

"Awhile now."

"Why didn't you tell us? We would have let you help us a lot more than we have been."

"Well, I guess I thought it was easier to not tell you about it." She takes care of another ghost.

"Why? You know we would have been more than exited to know that you were taking up the family career." I didn't want you to find out that I'm Phantom and become a lab experiment and be a disappointment to you.

"I guess I was just scared that I would mess something up or get in your way."

"I work with Jack. God knows I can handle people messing up, but that shouldn't stop you from hunting ghosts with us, it doesn't stop Jack, because we do it because it's fun. We had no proof ghosts even existed for a long time, but we never gave up. That's all I want from you. I want you to follow your dream and never give up, whether it's with ghost hunting or anything else." I smile and we continue to talk as we handle the ghost situation. Maybe being grounded isn't as bad as I thought it would be, after all, I think I'm going to be spending a lot more time with my mom from now on. I might even tell her that I'm Phantom.

Maddie's point of view:

He'll tell me he's Phantom when he's ready.

A/n I do not own Danny Phantom. This will probably be the last chapter. Story idea by Bibbledoo. You should check out some of her stories!
