"Okay, Danny Fenton!" Lancer said with a little bit of a skeptical tone in his voice.

Danny felt his whole world come crashing down as he let go of the death grip he had on Tucker and walked a little shakily to the stage. Some people had noticed his nervousness as he walked as slow as inauspiciousness can go.

One kid, Dash Baxter, decided to shout, "When are you afraid of? A little button going to bite?" With that comment, everyone started laughing, which only made Danny's legs feel weaker and more jelly-like.

"Quite!" shouted Lancer before Maddie could aim a gun at Dash. When Danny made it to the cube, he could fill the hair on the back of his neck rise. He was surprised that he made it to the stage as fast as he did on shaky legs that where shaking so badly at the moment, you'd think an earthquake is happening.

"Go on and get it over with. I know your shy, but it's not that bad!" his mom whispered, not knowing what's going on with her son.

And with a huge hesitation, Danny pushed the button.


There were silent when Danny removed his hand. A quiet, relief silent that lasted for three seconds, and in that time, color had returned to his face and he turn to walk away, knowing that his secret is okay and that the Fenton- Exposer doesn't really work.

But as he was half way down the stairs, a heart- breaking sound penetrated the silent air.

The loudest siren anyone has ever heard went off to make itself known. The little smile that was on Danny's face from relief dropped and an expression of horror passed through his face. A wave of sickness and panic passed through his stomach and legs that made him lean heavily on the rails of the stairs and gripped it with a death lock, hard enough to break a wrist if it was Sam or Tucker.

It felt as if the world fell apart and the pieces were stacking on top of his shoulders. The pressure was to much, trying with all his might, Danny had his eyes shut tight, not wanting to see everyone's expression, and his knees knocking against each other just as bad, if not worse, then they were walking to the stage.

In the bleachers, everyone that were snickering from the way Danny was acting in front of a small button had their mouths dropped open to the floor. To say they were shocked is an understatement; they were surprised from understanding and glee. They finally understood everything now and they were gleeful to finally find out who Phantom is.

Paulina was especially the one that was shocked, "I turned down my crush?! My crush was a nerd?!" she thought with horror.

No one moved, not one inch. No one spoke for what felt like forever to Danny, who thought that they were silent because they judged him. He thought they were thinking he was a freak of nature, and if he kept his eyes closed just a little longer, everything will go back to normal, no exposed secret, no hidden stranger with any identity, just a wild, crazy dream.

Maddie and Jack were horror struck as they processed what happened. When it finally clicked, they wished, no, begged it not to be true. They thought over every possibility that it wasn't true. The Fenton- Exposer could have malfunctioned and identified their son as Phantom, or before he left home, he could have accidently touched ectoplasm and haven't washed it off yet, but they knew deep down that the results were right, no matter how much they tried, they couldn't think any way around it.

Breaking the stillness in the air, Maddie took a step closer towards Danny, "Sweetie?" she asked as she took another step closer

Danny winched, not expecting to hear her first. Even Sam, Tucker, and many other students in the bleachers winched when they saw Maddie walk towards her son with small steps and they all had the same thing running through their minds, "Man, Danny is in trouble."

"Honey, please look at me." Maddie said as she was only three feet away, followed by Jack who wanted nothing more than to be there.

Slowly, but carefully not to let go of the rails, Danny turned towards his mother with his eyes still closed. He looked awful, whatever color that had returned to his face had now disappeared, leaving his face white as a bed sheet. He was visibly shaking with terror and exhaustion from stress, ghost fights, and a blown secret. His usually glowing black hair was now dull from nervous sweat dripping through his hair and down his face.

That sight broke Maddie's heart. She wanted to comfort him and make it all better. With one more step so she was in arm length, she grabbed one of Danny's arms that were turning white from the death grip of the rail and pulled him into a tight hug that made Danny yelp with fear and surprise.

With the sudden movement, Sam and Tucker stood to protect, but seeing it was a hug, they sat down and stayed calm as their minds would allow it.

As Danny processed the hug, he opened his eyes slowly to see his mom silently crying into his shoulder and his dad wrapping an arm around her back for support. As his eyes wonder, he saw the crowd of people in the bleachers that had mixed emotions from surprised to understanding. The teachers were all in one corner quietly whispering all of the hints that they missed, Lancer was by his self with a look of pained guilt. He treated Danny badly by calling him out in call, detentions for being late and no homework being done, all because of him protecting the town. All the injuries he saw Danny walk into class with from ghost fights were blown off because he believed that the student was a clumsy kid. Oh how wrong he is!

After a moment, Maddie stiffed and pulled Danny back to see his eyes open and a questioned look crossed her face, "Why didn't you ever tell us? Sweetie, we could have helped! Oh, I hunted my own son! I feel so bad now, but wouldn't know how you're doing with this." Maddie asked as she took the tissue Jack afford her.

With much trouble, Danny said, "I thought you wouldn't accept me. I was scared that you guys wouldn't love me no more." With a sniff, Danny turned away, he face still pale and legs feeling like they would collapse any moment, his head hurt, and his stomach felt like it is about to burst.

Maddie pulled Danny into another, but this time with Danny sniffing and he leaned heavily on to her as he laid his head on her shoulder. All the exhaustions from the stress from the past week and all the late night ghost hunts finally laid themselves onto his shoulders as he felt his panic lessen into a serious butterfly stomach ache.

"Sweetie, we will always love you, no matter what you are or who you are. You are my son and I care about you. Don't ever think that we would turn away from you just because your part ghost. I want you to be able to tell me everything, and I promise to listen." She whispered into his ear as he silently sobbed in to her shoulder. "You are one of a kind, and I will never want anything more. I'm sorry for what I did to you; please forgive me and when this is all done, I promise to make it up to you."

She started to smooth Danny's hair as she spoke and after she finished talking Danny muttered, "Not your fault, didn't know, but I forgive you. You never really hurt me. And mom?" he said. With each passing second he could feel himself becoming heavier in his mother's arms and his mine going fuzzy.

"Yes sweetie? What is it?" she asked as she felt her son growing heavier in her arms. It frightened her at first, but then she realized what's happening.

"I think I had a massive panic attack back there, I need you to hold..." but before he could finish, he blacked out, his muscle finally relaxing after never releasing the pressure from the stiffness in his joints.

He went limp in his mother's embrace, and since she already knew what was happening, she held on tight dragged him back up on stage and laid him down slowly.

Some of the teachers came running over to help and to see what the problem was and the students up in the bleachers stood to get better looks while Sam and Tucker ran to the stage.

"What happened?" Sam was the first to ask the question. She was thinking that Maddie had injected something into him.

"Nothing, my dear. He had a panic attack; he's just reacting to the after effects. He should be fine in about an hour, but that depends on the attack scale." She said; sound a bit hoarse from crying. Her eyes were red and her face was blushed from head pressure from tears.

"Oh, I told him to calm down." Sam said a bit smugly, she had herself something to be right about for when Danny woke up.

"What do we do?" Lancer asked as he made his way over after having some difficulties climbing the stairs.

"Help me and jack get him home. He's had a long day today. He can make up test that would be missed tomorrow." And with that, Maddie picked her son up with little to no difficulties, "Remind me to get on to Danny about his eating habits, Honey." She said to Jack who nodded and walked beside her all the way to the Fenton Assault Vehicle.


Back in the gym, once Danny and his parents left with Sam and Tucker on their heels all the way, everyone started to talk at once, all conversations about the same thing.

"Did you know? I had no clue!"

"Who would have thought wimpy Fenton is strong Phantom!"

"I bullied my hero?! WHY!"

"I can't believe it, which would have been so easy if we looked at things closer."

On and on was the talking. Even the teachers were in the conversations with the kids.

Dash Baxter was miserable, he had been so excited to find out who the identity of Phantom is only two hours ago, know he wished he didn't, finding out that your idol is the kid that you have been torturing ever since 2nd grade is not fun, especially when they can beat you worse than you do them.

Paulina was shocked to find out because she had a crush on him for months. He even asked her out and she said no! "What kind of person am I?" she said to Star, her friend.

"I know how you feel. I feel miserable about all this. Did you see the way he passed out? He tried so hard to keep us from knowing! And I thought that a nerd would want to tell everyone to become popular." Star said with shoulders slumped.

"I hear you!" said Mikey as he jumped into the conversation from behind, "If I had powers, I would have told people by now! But Danny's different, doesn't care about social status like we all do."

With that in mind, they fell silent. And after a few minutes Mr. Lancer reported them all to go home for the day since no work would be done in the condition everyone were in.

And with a last thought, everyone gathered their things a went home wondering how Danny is doing with all this.
