Author's Note: Hello my loyal readers! I have an announcement to make! Some of you have sent me character profiles! I have shuffled through some of them, and starting this chapter—thought this doesn't mean that this is the end of the Character Challenge—you will start seeing them next chapter. I want to think Seadragons and Penny Lu for their characters. However, Penny Lu, since it's not fair for other readers, I'm only using one of your characters. The Character Guide will still remain at the bottom of the chapter, and the Poll for Dan and Dani has now ended! However, please remember that not all characters can be friends with Danny. I have had too many submissions of girl friend suggestions and etc. I would appreciate a good adversary or antihero. They can even be friendly enemies!Thank you! (For DarkAngel036, I got your review in my email, but it won't show me all of it. I'm going to have to wait for it to show up on my review screen to make a decision about your character. I'm so sorry. I hope you understand.) If you have any concerns, questions, suggestion, or comments please review or PM me. Enjoy the next chapter!

Disclaimer: I still don't own Danny Phantom.

Chapter Nine: Forgiveness is the Start of the New

The next couple days pasted quickly. The lawyer determined that they had a strong case against the Fentons, and they were put under arrest the following day. Even better, where their treats of killing him, making them look even guiltier. The wouldn't be out of jail for a long while after the trial. Jazz tried to call Vlad, but after Danny had told him that she lead Sam and Tucker there, he didn't even answer her calls. She's stopped trying now. Frostbite had been by again to report that Sam and Tucker had tried to rally others of the Far Frozen, but they had forbidden them in their realm until he specifically told the yeti king that they were again permitted. He even said that Dora and Pandora had hut their doors to the two. If they have given up or not is still a mystery. Kitty and Johnny 13 came by yesterday and gave their heart felt apologies, however, Danny told them that it wasn't there fault.

...Flashback...

"Danny, I'm so sorry," Johnny said. "I didn't mean to give away your idenity to your parents. I was just looking for my girl."

"Me too, Phantom," Kitty said. "If I didn't come to you to hide, none of this would have ever happened."

Danny sighed, and said, "I know, Johnny, Kitty. I don't blame you guys. If anything, I want to thank you."

"For what," Johnny said, flabbergasted. "We ruined your life!"

"That may be," I said slowly. "But, you also helped me discover traitors. You showed me that I should have never trusted those people in the first place. If you didn't call me Phantom in front of my parents, I would have lived in a house of neglect. And, when I did tell my parents the truth, they might have done something worse. They might of said they accepted me, and then turned on me when I least expected it. And, if they didn't reject me that night, I might have never known that Sam and Tucker were lying to me about their relationship and they kept leading me on."

"Bu—," Kitty said.

"But nothing," I said. "Kitty, did you and Johnny intentionally do what you did to hurt or spite me?"

"No," they said together.

"Did you know at the time that it would hurt me," I asked.

"No,"they said again.

"Then, I don't have anything to forgive you for," I told them. "You didn't me or know that what you were doing would end up hurting me."

They both smiled weakly, and Kitty gave me a hug.

"Thank you, Phantom," she said. "Your a good guy."

"Hmph, never knew that you'd forgive people like us so easily," Johnny said. "'Specially after some of the stuff we've done to you in the past."

"We have a truce now, right," I asked.

Johnny nodded.

"Then that means I trust you not to do stuff like in the past," I said. "So, don't worry about it so much."

"Gosh, your such a geek," Johnny said smiling.

"And, your a punk," I shot back.

Johnny chuckled and ruffled my hair.

"Thank you, though," Johnny said. "I'm going to miss you at the other side of the Zone."

"Me too," I said. "Maybe you can come through here now?"

Johnny shook his head.

"Nah, Amity is my favorite haunt," Johnny said. "More people around. Easier to blend in."

"Still," I said. "Stop by every once in a while."

"Will do, twerp," he said. "Will do."

"Bye Phantom," Kitty said, giving me a last hug. "Take care of yourself."

"Call me if someone needs some bad luck," Johnny said.

"Will do, Johnny," I said. "Bye, Kitty."

Kitty jumped behind Johnny on his motorcycle, and they rode off back into the Ghost Zone.

...Flashback End...

"Danny," Vlad yelled. "Your going to be late for school!"

I snapped out of my musing, and grabbed my brief case. It was time to head to Bladesworth Academy. I took a deep breath as I started walking towards the limo—yes, a limo—to calm myself.

"Here it goes," I said.

The ride was silent. I kept adjusting my tie, as Vlad had told me I had to wear the suit, and shifting in my seat. I didn't know if I was ready for this. I had a hard time at public school. How in the world would I handle private school? Or, would it be easier.. I groaned as I rubbed my temples. Questions kept circling through my head. How did I present myself? Should I act like I did at Casper High? Vlad said it was a bad idea, but it helped him when he had to fight ghosts in Amity... But, did he want to fight ghosts here? This was a chance for a second chance. So far, Amity seems to be faring well without him... And, this is Vlad's territory. Vlad wouldn't let ghosts through...right? So, if he didn't have to worry about ghosts, should he just be...himself? Or, should he create another mask? Danny sighed.

Guess I'll just wait and see, he thought.

"Young Master," the driver said. "We're here."

I nodded and handed him my briefcase, like I saw Vlad do a couple times. Then I stepped out and took the briefcase back.

"Thank you...," I started, but I had forgotten his name.

"Quincy," he whispered. "Jules Quincy."

"Thank you, Quincy," I said, relieved.

"I'll pick you up after school, Master Daniel," Quincy said, with a friendly wink.

"I'll see you then," I said and turned around to the school.

When I actually took in the school, the word "school" would be an understatement. It looked like a European castle. I tried to hide a gulp as I followed the other students.

I can do this, I thought to myself. I'm a Masters.
