NEXT TIME on Haunted Legacies

The sky was clear and the whistling of the wind through the grass on the small hill outside of town was met with the blare of trumpets shouting to the heavens. The crowd seated on lawn chairs spread across the grass in neat rows and lines watched as the small parade of students in black robes marched single-file toward the front of the gathering. Cheers erupted from parents and families as each reached the principal of Casper High School to receive their ticket to the rest of their life.

"Dash Baxter," The principal called. The entire crowd rose to its feet around Sam, Danny, and Star as the massive boy walked up the steps to the podium, waving as if to a crowd of adoring fans.

Sam leaned over to whisper conspiratorially to her friends. "Yeah, I'm glad to see him gone too." Danny and Star hid their chuckles behind their hands.

They watched the procession of former students making their way around and then back to their seats in the front rows. The line of students crept on until at last, Danny heard a good reason to cheer.

"Jasmine Fenton." Danny, Sam, and Star all leapt to their feet, clapping their hands together. To Danny's surprise, most of those seated in the audience rose to their feet as the red-headed Fenton girl approached the Principal with a broad, uncontained grin on her lips. After she retrieved her diploma and shook her principal's hand, she turned to the crowd and pumped the diploma into the air, causing the crowd to roar even louder.

Danny heard a sniffle from behind, and turned to comfort his mother, but instead saw his father hunched over nearly in tears. "Our baby girl is growing up so fast."

"No Jack." Maddie patted her husband's shoulder with an understanding smile. "She's growing no more, she's a woman now. Soon she'll be off on her own to college. Oh…" She sniffled and wiped a tear from her eye. "I'm so proud… aren't you proud Danny?"

"Huh?" Danny was snapped back to reality after drifting off for a moment, realizing his mom was looking right at him. "Oh, yeah." Danny turned to face forward again, watching his sister skip merrily from the podium down toward her seat. "Proud…" He wanted to feel it, but it was something else that suddenly filled his heart to the brim.

After the ceremony had passed the families and graduates stood to find one another, and Jazz came charging up to them, nearly bouncing on the balls of her feet as she walked, making her thick black robes bounce around her ankles. "I did it! I did it! 4.0! Harvard here I come! Yyyeeeeee!" She squealed in excitement and wrapped her mother in a tight hug.

"I'm so proud of you, sweetie!" Maddie grinned wildly and clutched her daughter close to her.

"Yeah, great going, Jazz." Star grinned and hugged her from the side, since Maddie still had her from the front.

"Congratulations," Sam added with a more subdued smile.

Danny thought to say something, but he couldn't make himself speak.

"We just HAVE to celebrate. We have to." Maddie finally let her daughter go. "We should all go out for a fancy dinner as a family."

"Can Star come?" Jazz draped one arm around her best friend's shoulders.

"Of course." Maddie nodded.

"There's only one meal fit for a time like this." Jack waved his finger in the air, signaling that what he was saying was important. "The thickest, juiciest, bloodiest steaks money can buy! Come on, I know just the place!" Jack grabbed Jazz and Star to carry them back toward the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle like a pair of footballs. Danny watched Maddie follow after them with a look of concern on her face, feeling strangely numb with the proceedings.

Suddenly a hand touched his arm, drawing his attention to Sam, who was looking at him with worried eyes and a gentle smile. "You okay, Danny?" Her arm moved down to twine her fingers with his. The shining gold wedding ring on her finger pressed against his hand, reminding him, as always, that they could share anything.

Danny shook his head, finally finding the will to say two words. "She's leaving."
