Danny stared down at himself, he was in his ghost form, but he wasn't. He still had his white hair, the same glowing green eyes; in fact he looked perfectly fine, almost. His skin was paler, no color was there, no familiar blush was visible, and his eyes empty of almost all emotion, his hair looked dead and gone as if the cells no longer existed, his cocky grin was gone replaced by a empty frown, but most of all you could slightly see through him.

No he wasn't intangible or invisible, he was see through, he was faded, washed out. He felt almost nothing, he was dead, fully dead and that was why he was here.

Taking a deep breath that could no longer exist, he carefully walked into the castle like building he was standing in front of. "Clockwork!" He screamed, his lifeless voice echoing off the stone walls and back at him. "I know you're here and I know you know I'm here, please I need your help."

For a while nothing happened, then a small figure floated out of the darkness. "I can't undo it Daniel, I can't bring you back."

Danny looked down at his feet and then up at the giant circler screen. He winced as he watched what it, was playing. He was on there, in ghost form flying carelessly around in the sky, suddenly a green ectobeam came and hit him dead on in the head; he was falling desperately grabbing at air, at nothing, flipping in circles, unable to gain the strength Finally his eyes closed and he fell, bright rings appeared and traveled up and down his body, replacing white hair and green eyes with black and blue, ghost with human, Phantom with Fenton, replacing his last hope of survival.

He lost all his power in two seconds and in about 10 he would lose his life. He saw faces flash before him, his mom, his dad, Jazz, Sam, Tucker, even Dash, Lancer, and a couple other people made it in there. He saw Frostbite and Wulf, Cujo and Valerie, Dora, Clockwork, Danielle. His many fights with his enemies crossed his mind, the first time he meant Tucker in the park, when he meant Sam in second grade, finally he made impact.

First there was shock, but as the dust settled it was replaced by pain, the most pain he had ever been in. He couldn't even scream, all he could do was just lay there as his vision blurred, the last image he saw was his mom and dad standing over him, Maddie help a small ectogun which had fallen to the ground beside him as she buried herself in Jack's arms.

Danny gave them a soft smile, before closing his eyes, and fallen into a sleep he would never wake up from.

As Danny watched this scene he felt tears come to his eyes and he cried, something rarely done by ghosts.

"One day," He croaked, at Clockwork. "I just want one day, I need to tell them that I still love them even though they killed me, I need to tell Jazz that she was the best sister ever, Tucker the best friend ever, Sam—" He sobbed, and his voice caught on her name. "Sam, I need to tell her that I loved her, that she was the only one that mattered. I need to tell Lancer that it was okay that he punished me all the time; he didn't know what I was doing. I need to tell Dash that it was okay that he was a jerk, okay maybe it wasn't, but still. I need to explain to them, please." He begged, glowing tears splattering against the floor. "One day, I'm fading Clockwork, I probably have only a week at the most. Without Fenton, Phantom's gone too. Please one day."

Clockwork looked at the young teen, floating there begging him for the one thing he couldn't give him. The chance to live for one more day, the chance to tell those he loved or needed to see, what had happened. It was against all he had taught the boy, all the rules he followed, then again he had broken rules before.

Sighing softly he held up his time staff, "One day Daniel. That is all I can give you." He looked at Danny sadly. "I am sorry this had to happen." With that he waved his staff and Danny felt humanity flow back into him, he felt himself slowly wake up in a hospital bed. He sobbed as he saw the looks on his parents faces, hope and suddenly been opened and he was going to close it and lock it forever as he spoke in a whisper.

"Get Sam, Tucker, who ever. I only have one day and then I'm gone, one day to sort things out." With that he sobbed softly to himself as his parents stared at him wide eyed and began making calls. He sighed and closed his eyes, this was going to be the shortest day of his life, the last day.

*Sobs* I think I just broke my own heart. This actually came from a question I asked myself when I saw the title of this chapter.

And it well, it got me thinking, what if I only had one more day to live, what would I do? If it were me I'd probably tell my crush that I like him, tell my parents and siblings that I love them, give forgiveness to people I'd rather not, and so forth. Many of these are shown in my story. Anyways enough with my rant.
