Manson family residence 6 hours later

"Doctor what is wrong with our little girl? She been was having explosive diarrhea for about an hour, and now she is looking even paler than some of the ghosts that haunt this town." Pamela said with worry.

"We have done test after test, and all of the sadly have come back normal or negative. So as of now we have no clue what is making her sick." The doctor explained.

"That is not good enough! I want an answer to what is making her sick now! This way you can make her better!" Jeremy spat.

As Pamela and Jeremy went off on the doctor who was just trying his best to do his Job Tucker at this point wanted nothing more than to get away from Sam. Not because he was beginning to dislike her but rather because he was afraid of getting sick himself. Plus unlike Sam he wasn't loaded so had he gotten sick the doctors wouldn't be coming to him but rather the other way around.

"Mr. and Mrs. Manson, seeing as Sam isn't feeling well, and there is a possible risk of contamination I will be heading home. I hope you get better soon Sam so I will see you..."

"Wait before you go young man I need to ask you something. Can you remember anything out of the ordinary happening? It could be the clue that could help us cure your friend." The doctor asked causing Tucker to frown.

"Nothing I can think off seeing as everything that has happened as of late has been completely normal to us." Tucker started before remembering a light bulb went off in his head. "Wait there is one thing I can think of that was different. Yesterday me, and Sam asked Danny to meet us at the park so we could discuss something important. While in the middle of our conversation Danny and eventually Sam were blasted with quote Water that came straight out of our septic tanks end quote." Tucker replied causing everyone especially the doctor to go wide eyed.

As soon as Tucker explained this the doctor put on his mask and gloves, grabbed an empty container and walked into the bathroom Sam was using for a few minutes. Upon coming out he had a sample of what he needed.

"I will need to have this checked out at the lab, however if what I am thinking is true we will be able to find out what exactly is making your daughter sick." The doctor said before turning to Tucker. "As for you young man if what I am thinking is the case is true you need to not only tell the Manson's who were the people involved, but you should call your other friend's family and have them take him to the doctor seeing as he could be sick as well." The doctor replied before walking out the door leaving Tucker and the Manson's behind.

Happy that his information was able to help his best friend but concerned for his other Tucker was about to leave once again only to be stopped by the Manson's.

"Who exactly had the nerve to blast my baby with septic tank water?" Pamela replied in a stern tone.

"I want to know who did this as well! Cause when I find out who did this there will be hell to pay!" Jeremy added equally ticked.

"Ok why are you directing your anger at me? I am the innocent party in this." Tucker explained.

"Oh we aren't upset with you Tucker, we are pissed at those idiots who dared to drench our Sammikins with putrid, stinking septic tank water!" Jeremy spat.

"So tell us who was it that did this!" Pamela added with the same fury.

'Wow I wouldn't want to be Dash or any of the other A-lists who hosed Sam down with that water right now. But seeing as they caused me hell...'

"Dash, Nelson, Mike, Andy, Harold, and Duncan. They were the ones who blasted Sam with the septic tank water." Tucker answered. "Dash was messing with Danny at first, but when me and Sam tried to get Danny away from those idiots they blocked her path. When she told them to get out of their way everyone with Kwan being the exception blasted Sam with their water." Tucker replied only striking a nerve with Pamela and Jeremy.

"It figures that our little Sammikins would get assaulted due to being friends with that Fenton boy." Jeremy replied annoyed.

"I know if she wasn't around him this wouldn't have happened! You know what? I think we should get that restraining order put back into..."

"Mr. and Mrs. Manson there is more to the story. In fact the moment Sam was blasted into the tree with that water was the moment Danny finally snapped and let's just say the beat down he gave them for harassing Sam..."

"Wait a minute? You are telling us that he beat them up just because of what they did to our Sammikins?" Pamela asked getting a nod from Tucker.

'Well he wanted to beat them up before and he did technically open up a can up whup butt on each of them when Sam became the target.' Tucker thought to himself.

"Perhaps we were a little hasty with our judgment call. I mean if he did put his own safety on the line to defend our daughters honor like he did that ghost he can't be all bad." Jeremy replied calmly.

"Jeremy, Pamela, I would like to talk with Bubeleh and her friend alone so could the two of you go downstairs and give us our privacy?" Nana Manson replied getting a nod from her son and daughter in law.

As Jeremy and Pamela left the room Tucker and Sam had one thought in their head. 'What exactly does Sam grandmother/grandma want to talk to us about alone?' Seeing the shared look of concern on their face Nana Manson waited for the door to close and lock before explaining herself.

"First off young man nice save with explaining how Bubeleh's crush defended her honor. You actually stopped them from doing something stupid. But besides that let me get straight to the point. You might think I am clueless like your parents and the rest of this town, but like the two of you I know the truth." Nana Manson replied calmly.

"The truth about what? That Danny..."

"Is Amity Park hero or at least he used to be before he quit." Nana Manson replied.

"What are you talking about? Our best friend isn't Danny Phantom, he is... Ow what you do that for!?" Tucker asked after Nana Manson hit him in the shin with her oakwood cane.

"Don't try to lie to me young man! I have known for a while." Nana Manson said before turning to Sam. "Why do you think I would always cover for you. Remember when I showed you my old photo album and you asked me why I was showing you it?" Nana asked.

'Who knows maybe I am old and babbling, or maybe you should sneak out and help your friend while I am lost in my memory.' Nana words replayed in her mind causing it to click.

"You knew even that far back? But why didn't you tell us you knew?" Sam asked baffled.

"It wasn't my secret to tell. I was waiting for when you were ready to tell me of course however, we can talk about that later. What we need to talk about now is how to fix the mess that was made, and get my bubeleh back with my future son-in-law." Nana Manson replied causing Sam pale cheeks to show some color. "So tell me what exactly happened before he made the decision to leave his two best friends, and the entire town he would protect unprotected?" Nana Manson asked causing Tucker to become pale (if that was even possible) , and Sam to become even paler than normal.

Sensing the fear of being judged harshly coming from the two teens Nana Manson placed her hand on their shoulders and gave a warm smile.

"Don't be afraid to talk to me especially you Bubeleh. Out of all the adults in this house which one has always listened to you without trying to turn things against you or judging you?" Nana asked already knowing the answer.

"Tucker make sure the door is locked I don't want my parents learning the truth and causing trouble for Danny." Sam replied in an almost normal tone. "It is a long story Grandma..."

"Which last I checked won't matter seeing as we both have nothing but time. So please explain to me why is it that your friend left the two of you, and abandoned the town he normally would protect?" Nana Manson asked again.

It was then that Sam and Tucker took turns explaining everything that had happened between the first time to the time prior to the confrontation. As both teens explained everything Nana Manson stay totally neutral when listening to the story which was something both teens especially Sam was thankful for. When Both teens finished explaining the story Nana Manson closed her eyes and rubbed her temples.

"So I see this is a fine mess that has been made in both friendships and relationships. Though I seriously doubt that this is nothing the three of you can't fix." Nana Manson explained with a smile.

"You really think we can fix this mess? Danny when he spoke to us…"

"He was 9 times out of 10 speaking out of frustration and anger. He was baring the a burden no normal teen or even superpower teen should bare, and since he didn't have any outlets for them it he held them in until they exploded. It was mostly likely he went to that bar in the this ghost realm to drink as well." Nana Manson replied only for Sam not to like this.

"He had several things he could have done. One of which was COME TO ME AND TUCKER! We are his best friends, and…"

"Sam when he came to confide in us the first time around you mentioned he couldn't just quit and that he was most likely feeling this way because he was tired. That time around he took to your reasoning and just left it as it was. However, the second time around he was far more vocal and was about do what he was did today had you not mentioned 'What if you quit and then someone who really needed you ended up getting hurt? The feeling of not doing something when you could have will eat you alive!'" Tucker went on.

"Yeah then he went wide eyed for a few moments and then once again conceded. My heart was pounding that day seeing as I was so afraid he was going to make a bad decision and I wouldn't have been able to prevent it." Sam explained only for Nana to frown.

"Which was why I am guessing he stopped confiding in the two of you and went to the bar to drink." Nana Replied before turning to her granddaughter. "While I love you with all my heart Bubeleh, Getting you to listen to anyone point of view when it either goes against what you believe or had your mind made up is like trying to win Russian Roulette with a bullet in every chamber…"

"In other words it isn't going to happen." Tucker explained cutting off Nana Manson.

"What are you talking about? I am very open to listening to both you and Danny!" Sam replied only for Tucker to shake his head.

"Do you remember when you changed the school menu Sam? Tell me when I explained to you why all the misfortune was happening to us and I mentioned "I am going to get the meat back!" what did you do? Did you take a look at what was going on around us due to your change and try to see things from everyone else's point of view, or did you ignore it and do everything in your power to try and stop me due to that being your view on things?" Tucker asked already knowing the answer.

"I choose to fight for my beliefs just like you did but I don't see how I was wrong there!" Sam answered in a defensive tone.

"No one is saying you are wrong for fighting for your beliefs. However, ignoring others opinions and beliefs especially when they come to confide in you can cause problems. At best you will have arguments that can damage your friendship/relationship and at worst completely destroy it." Nana Manson explained.

As Sam took in her grandmother's words the gears in her brain went into overdrive processing this for all her past experiences with her friends. As she processed every moment she could think of one by one she liked the feeling she was getting less and less. However, despite this Sam's first thought was to walk over to the grandmother and like with the freakshow incident kiss her on the forehead.

"Thanks Grand…" Sam never got the chance to finish her sentence as the same feeling she had prior came back causing her to run to the bathroom once again.

"As for you young man, while I know you try to stay away from the confrontations my advice to you would be to stop doing…"

"I already know this Mrs. Manson. Prior to this thing hitting her I put myself in the line of fire to keep her from doing something stupid. Though my reasoning for avoiding confrontation was…"

"To avoid Bubeleh's wrath which if I were in your shoes could understand." Nana Manson replied not surprising Tucker. "However, if you want any hope of keeping things fixed when it happens you need to continue to step up and be a voice of reason to both your friends just as both of them have been for you." Nana Manson explained before she started to take her leave.

"Wait Mrs Manson. I have to ask what is your opinion on what Danny did in school today?" Tucker asked.

"Let's just say that his actions not only cemented in my mind that he is the right person for my granddaughter, but makes me wish that…"

"Don't finish that sentence. If Desiree is around she might add a side of screw you over with your wish." Tucker replied with concern.

"Maybe, but that doesn't make me desire any less that someone like Danny was around 73 years ago. Maybe then my oldest children would still be alive today." Nana Manson explained before taking her leave and causing Tucker to go wide eyed.

"Mrs. Manson don't tell me that you were a..." Tucker never got the chance to finish his sentence as Nana Manson rolled up her sleeve and revealed a 6 digit number that would be branded on her until the day she would die. "Promise me you will keep this to yourself, oh and when you speak to your other friend again let him know I am extremely proud of what he did." Nana Manson explained before leaving the room.

Desiree's bedroom this exact moment

Desiree frowned at the sight before her. Even though she was able to save Danny from falling and get out of that frozen wasteland, Danny condition wasn't doing any better. From what Desiree could see the young halfa was not only suffering from a severe fever, but was having trouble breathing and was also feeling sharp bouts of pain.

'Damn it, he is getting worse by the minute. He is burning up despite having his ice core, his breathing is labored, and the pain he is experiencing looked excruciating.' Desiree thought to herself as she watched the young halfa struggle to open his eyes.

"Don't worry Danny, I promise I will get you through this." Desiree said in a soft voice while poofing into existence a cold rag and placing it on his head.

"I think you mean 'we' Desiree seeing as even with your powers and abilities you can't use them to the degree you want to on your own." Spectra replied as she placed a hand on his chest and making his insides visible.

While she wasn't an expert on human biology the sight before both her filled her with both horror and disgust. After getting a good look at what was actually going on inside of the young halfa Spectra removed her hand from his chest causing the invisibility effect to fade.

"His liver has several large white abscesses in it, and is liquefying at an alarming rate but that is not all. His lungs like his liver also has several abscesses in them. Not only that, but from what I saw the liquefying flesh in his lungs are filling them up making it harder to breathe. At the rate he is going he will become all ghost in a matter of hours." Spectra explained surprising and annoying Desiree at the same time.

Surprising her because she actually had some useful medical knowledge that explained what was going on. Annoyed because the one time she actually wanted Spectra to make a wish right away she didn't.

"While I find your knowledge of what is actually happening to Danny surprising and impressive, why haven't you wished that was completely healed so his suffering will end? I can't exactly grant my own wishes, and Danny can't even speak let alone wish! If you care about him nearly as much as you say you would do just that!" Desiree spat causing Spectra to roll her eyes.

"Keep you harem pants on I was getting to that! I wish that whatever was making Danny sick was purged from his body, that we knew exactly what made him sick, and that we had a sample of infected lung and liver tissues." Spectra replied going on a hunch with the last two.

"Not sure why you made the last two wishes, but so you wished it so shall it be!" Desiree answered as all three of them began to glow.

As Danny's body glowed brighter with a lavender aura the damage that was happening to his internal organs due to the sickness he had came to a halt causing the body and his ghost powers to heal him. When Danny's body stopped glowing Desiree sighed with relief.

"The first part of your wish was granted and what was making him sick had been eradicated from his body. Now his body can start the process of healing itself." Desiree explained before two black and white containers poof into existence each with a sample of Danny's infected lung and liver tissue. "Though I have to ask why did you want a sample of Danny's infected lungs and liver? He is cured now so there is no need." Desiree asked confused.

It was then that the second part of Spectra's wish came into play and both she and Desiree began to glow with lavender light. As the information on what caused Danny to get sick entered both their minds Desiree understandably was completely clueless due to a lack of medical knowledge. However, upon learning what caused Danny to get sick Spectra green eyes glowed with anger before narrowing into glowing slits.

'So my thoughts as to how and why Danny got sick were true.' Spectra thought as the aura around her body changed from the lavender one to a familiar murky red aura that once again surprised Desiree.

'That is the same aura that appeared around Danny's body when I took the blame for him. But what does it mean?' Desiree asked herself with concern.

"Entamoeba histolytica. A single cell parasitic amoeba that normally creates havoc on the human gastrointestinal track. Once inside of a host it will feed, grow, and multiply. Normal symptoms of this infection include but are not limited to nausea, stomach cramps, vomiting, bloody stool and fever. However, in more severe cases the amoeba can break through the mucus membrane of the intestinal track and enter the blood stream where they can infect the vital organs causing large abscesses as well as liquefaction of the organs. Unfortunately for us that is what happened with Danny. Had you not cured him of it viva my wish it would have been fatal." Spectra explained while continuing to releasing her murky aura.

"How do you even know about the thing that made Danny sick? I never granted the wish of knowing everything about it just what it was. Is that why you look like you want to murder someone?" Desiree asked surprised that she even cared about Spectra's anger.

"When going for my PHD in psychology I had to take a few classes that had nothing to do with my major but were required for me to get it. One of which was a medical class about different infections and illnesses and what causes them." Spectra explained before turning to her rival. "As for why I am pissed the answer is simple. I know where and how Danny got this illness, and lets just say I am going to take a page from your vindictive book." Spectra replied before going to the front door of her realm. "I know I don't have to tell you this but make sure our lover stays well I have some important business to take care off." Spectra replied just as she left Desiree's realm.

"If she thinks I am going to let her use you once you get better she has another thing coming." Desiree said to herself before creating yet another magic note explaining everything that was going on while attaching the samples with them.

'I will send this note to his sister to let her know that you are ok and explain why…' Desiree never got the chance to finish her thought as she heard Danny's cellphone ring.

Hearing the device ring Desiree took the device out of his pocket, and upon looking at the caller ID just ignored it.

'Sorry I won't be answering that. Let the answering machine do the work.' Desiree thought to herself just before she heard the voice message.

"Dude it is me Tucker. While I know you are still pissed off with me and Sam, I am just calling to see if you got sick like Sam did due to that septic tank water Dash and his friends sprayed the two of you with. Oh and seeing as I might not get the chance to say this I want you to know that I am so sorry for not listening to you and your point of view when it didn't concern myself. It was not only wrong of me to do this, but it was me being a coward due to not wanting to be on the receiving end of Sam's wrath at the time due to her being completely against you quitting. However, it is totally against your nature to hold a grudge against anyone especially me and Sam. We are sorry for not listening to you, and we would love nothing more than to make this right. I hope when you listen to this you will consider forgiving us so we can look back on this and laugh." Tucker replied before hanging up.

Ghost zone just outside Penelope's realm

Spectra flew to within just a few feet of her realm while surprisingly still wearing the same murky red aura Danny had earlier. Had this been prior to a few days ago she would have been wearing a cool-aid smile while slurping up all the misery he would be releasing due to being sick. However, seeing as she developed an interest in him she was furious.

'Oh just wait until I get my hands on those idiots! Oh I am going to not only kick their asses until their are within an inch of their lives, but once I deliver those containers to the doctors and have them find out what I found out and deliver the proof those guys will be so miserable that I will have months if not years worth of misery to drain from them to stay looking young for myself and Danny.' Spectra thought to herself only for a whirlwind of flames to appear revealing Ember and Kitty.

However, upon seeing the murky red aura surrounding their friend concern appeared on both their faces.

"Penny, we need to talk." Was all Spectra heard Ember say with a look that somewhat rivaled hers.

Stage out

Sorry for the lack of update but I was suffering from not only writers block, but I had to do my finals for my last programming class. As for what is making Sam, sick while I won't tell you what exactly has her sick yet I will let you know this. I posted it in the previous chapter, and no it isn't the same illness that has Danny sick. Any thoughts, comments concerns? Post them in reviews or PM them to me.
