"You know, Freakshow said something to me when I dropped him off with the Guys In White."

Jazz raised an eyebrow and glanced at Danny. "Oh?" she asked. "And what was that? He swear revenge like all the other bad guys?"

Danny shook his head. "No, uh… he said that you said sometimes you wished you were a ghost. Is that true?"

A scoff was the response as Jazz focused her attention on the road again. "I only said it to get in his head," she declared. "I figured if I could build a rapport with him, I might learn something to manipulate him and help you. And I did."

"But you also had your whole 'ghost envy' essay for college, so you've been thinking about it for a while, right?" Danny twisted to face his entire body toward Jazz. "It's okay if you do, you know. Before I got my powers, there were times I wished I was a ghost, too. To get Mom and Dad's attention. They'd spent so much time focused on that stupid portal that… it feels kind of like they forgot about us."

Jazz didn't answer for a moment, then let out a heavy sigh. "Yes," she finally confessed. "Sometimes I do wish I was a ghost, if only so I could have their attention. But then I remember how they see them, and even if they'd accept you being a ghost, it's not something I want for myself. It's like when you see a lake or something in the summer and you're fully clothed, but for a split second you think 'I could just run and jump in there.' You don't actually do it, but the thought just kind of… popped up."

Danny nodded in understanding. "Maybe we do need a ghost-free family vacation." He righted himself in his seat. "Wanna help me pitch it to them when we get back?"

A small smile worked its way onto Jazz's face, and she nodded.
