Chapter XXIX: The Aftermath


Danny opened his eyes, his vision was blurred and he was staring into a bright light. His head was sore and beating, he felt like his brain was smashing against the side of his skull. His hearing was muted for a while, but started to return as he heard voices, familiar voices. Danny looked in the direction that the voices we're coming from. He saw a black figure looking down at him, with glowing green eyes. Danny felt a smile cross his lips when his vision returned and the figure's features and detail returned to her, Sam, still in her ghost form, looking down at him, a look of concern and worry on her face, before being replaced with a smile.

"Guy's he's awake!" she said.

Danny lifted his head up and looked around the room; his head was still bugging him. He could see that he was in a hospital room; he was lying in a bed with bandages wrapped around his chest and arms. Danny looked to see Dani, Frostbite, Wulf, Jazz, Tucker and Clockwork in the room with them. Immediately Dani, who was riding on Wulf's back, hopped down and lunged at her father, embracing him in a gripping hug, like a python to their prey.

"Dad, you're okay, I knew you would be, no one could defeat you."

"Ahhh…Dani…please…not so tight."

"Oh…heh…sorry Dad, forgot you're not completely better yet are you?"

"No, not yet, don't worry it'll take more than a couple bullets to put your old man down." Danny said as he turned his attention to Jazz and Tucker.

"Hey dude, how you holding up?" Tucker said.

"Well my body aches, my head hurts and I'm just regaining my senses, so about average, I've had worse, how are you guys doing, are you okay?"

"Yeah we're fine, all Vlad did was knock us out, Sam saved us, speaking of which, you two owe us an explanation." Jazz said looking at them.

"Actually the three of us, Sam how the heck do you still have your plant powers?" Danny asked looking at Sam.

"All I know is what Clockwork told me, I never lost my powers, Undergrowth did something to me in order to give me them, I wasn't just brainwashed like everybody else, he gave me powers, and fused them with my DNA, when Danny freed me, I was normal, I still had them though, apparently they were just lying dormant, I only unlocked them when a massive amount of Ectoplasm was sent through me, IE Vlad attacking me yesterday morning, and now I'm a Halfa."

"Wait, so you don't just have plant powers…you're half ghost…like me?"

"Yes Danny, I am, just like you, and Dani and Vlad."

"That's so unfair; I've been possessed and given powers why aren't I half ghost!" Tucker whined.

"Because the first time you wished for them, and you lost your ghost half when Daniel removed it from you, the second time you got them through Duulaman's staff, it had the power not you." Clockwork said.

"Like I said unfair."

"So let me get this straight, Sam is a Halfa, she can control plants, and is Dani's mother?" Jazz said.

"Yeah…we still need to talk about that." Danny said, and then he remembered something he looked down at himself, a feeling of dread came over him. "Wait…I'm human, oh crud, oh crap did anybody see?" Danny said changing into Phantom.

"Nope, Frostbite sent you're parents and Doctors out of the room when he realized you were going to turn back, nobody saw, and nobody can see either, the windows are closed and Cujo is outside the door." Sam said.

"I figured you wouldn't want you secret revealed just yet Great One." Frostbite said.

"But, Doctor and my parents, what were they doing?"

"They were treating your wounds, don't worry I was instructing them, they were so concerned on you they didn't notice red specs in your Ectoplasm, or anything out of the ordinary, for all they know you're just another ghost."

"Yeah with all the attention you're getting, I'm surprised you're getting out of this with your secret intact, but I did meet up with Mom after that, she was acting a little suspicious, she might have noticed something?" Jazz said.

"So what all did you do to me then?"

"We had to cut you open a little, to remove the bullets that didn't exit you, we also treated your cuts and bruises and broken ribs, re-aligned some joints, and re-attached your finger."

Danny looked down at his hand at the mention at that one and to his shock; his finger was back, well not entirely. Danny could see that his finger had been stitched back on, with some of the skin growing back to rejoin each other. Danny turned his hand human, and to his surprise, his finger appeared to be like it was before, unharmed and touched, Danny turned his hand back to Phantom.

"How did, but how?"

"After we were rescued by Sam, we went through Vlad's lab, Sam called us and told us that Vlad was defeated, so instead of working on gathering information to take him down, I started to go through his files and censoring anything that could be used against you, the police are in there now trying to break into them, however it will take them weeks to break his encryptions, and mine, they won't be finding out your secret from Vlad, I also took the liberty of copying and deleting any specific files that could harm you, all of Vlad's files on you, Dani, Sam, Valerie or anything else are on my PDA, also heavily encrypted."

"That's great Tuck, but my finger?"

"When he was doing that I was looking around the lab and came across it, Vlad was hoping to use it to try and clone you again."

"But why does it look normal when I'm human?"

"Oh just a little trick of mine, the string used to hold it together is designed to hide it's true self from others, so while you are Phantom, your finger will look attached, but as a human, it conceals the truth, an illusion, only those who know you're secret will see the truth." Clockwork said.

"But I can see it?"

"Just to show you what it looks like, try it now."

Danny looked back at his hand and turned it human; sure enough it looked like it did in his ghost mode, attached via stitching and some skin reconnection. Danny breathed a little sigh of relief, at least the was technically whole again, and now he didn't have to come up with some stupid explanation to why Danny Fenton was missing a finger.

"Okay, well if that's everything, I've got to get back to work." Danny said starting to get up, however Sam put a hand on his chest and forced him back into the bed.

"Just where do you think you're going?"

"If Danny Phantom's in the hospital, then ghosts are going to use this opportunity to cause trouble, I'm going to do my job."

"No you aren't and you don't need to."

"Wait, what?"

"Great One, the news of your victory against Plasmius has already spread across The Ghost Zone, and every single one of your enemies have agreed to leave you alone on this day, Princess Dora was going to come and talk to you about her brother Aragon, he's escaped, but figured he could wait a couple days, Skulker is being hunted by Walker for trying to harm your daughter and Plasmius is trapped in that device of yours."

"Which reminds me, I'll be taking that back into my protection…" Clockwork said as he floated over and picked up the thermos. "…and taking my leave, until we meet again Daniel, rest and get better."

With that Clockwork raised his staff and a flash of light covered the room, everyone closed their eyes to protect them from the bright light. When the light vanished Clockwork was gone, back to his tower to watch over all of time. Danny started to think about Vlad, and having to be stuck in the thermos with Dan. Danny had been stuck in the thermos once, it was horrible for six hours he was in a cramped space with nothing to do, Danny then smiled thinking of Vlad, at least he had something to keep him busy for all eternity; at least Vlad had Dan.

"It's also my time to leave as well Great One, you're healing cycle can fix everything else from here, there's nothing more I can do, enjoy your time off, come Wulf."

"Adiaŭ geamikoj, saniĝos baldaŭ" Wulf said as he raised his claws and created a portal, soon Frostbite and Wulf disappeared through it as it closed.

Danny turned and looked at the remaining people in the room, it was just Team Phantom and his daughter, well she was a part of Team Phantom too, what was he saying. He looked at Sam, and even though her eyes were completely filled with a glowing green glow, he could tell she was giving him the "we need to talk" look. He sighed, she was right so much has changed, he needed to have a good talk with her. He looked to Tucker and Jazz.

"Hey guys can you give me a minute with Sam, we need to talk."

"Sure thing little brother, should we take Dani with us?" Jazz asked.

"Yeah sure, we shouldn't be long, go do something fun." Sam said.

"Alright, hey Dani, you want to race in wheelchairs, I bet I'm faster than you?" Tucker said.

"You're on Uncle Tuck."

With that Dani grabbed Tucker and Jazz by the arm and phased them out of the room. Danny and Sam waited for a moment, dreading that the next sound they heard would be that of angry shouts or a loud crash, but it did not come. Danny turned back to Sam; they were both in their ghost forms. The last time Danny saw Sam like this he was on the verge of being frozen alive, and she was trying to stop him. They tried to speak, but for some reason they couldn't force the words from their mouths, Danny broke the awkward silence.

"So…we have a kid." He stated bluntly.

"Yep, it seems so."

"You have ghost powers."

"Yep."

"You meant what you said yesterday?"

"What did I say yesterday?"

"You said that you loved me."

"Yeah…but I thought I was going to die I felt it was now or never."

"But did you mean it?"

"Yes Danny I did, I love you, I've always loved you, you were always kind to me, even when we first met, the only reason why I haven't asked you out is because I was scared, I was scared that changing our relationship would ruin our friendship, what if it didn't work out, what if we could never go back to the way things work, I don't want you to leave my life, I feared that you wouldn't like me anymore."

"Sam I felt the same way, for the past couple months I've realized why you kept calling me clueless, I realized that I love you, I didn't want to say anything because I thought the same, I didn't want to ruin our friendship either."

"So you meant what you said yesterday two?"

"Yes Sam, I did, I love you."

What happened next was pure instinct, Sam and Danny embraced each other and kissed each other on the lips. The feeling was so relieving; their first kiss that wasn't a fake-out make-out, no this was the real deal. They loved the feeling; they felt like they were the only two people in the universe, isolated from real world problems, in heaven. Danny could feel Sam's vines tightening the embrace around them, the two let each other go, allowing the other to breathe.

"So Sam, does this mean, uh, Sam, do you want my girlfriend?" Danny said a smile on his face.

"Well let's see, we love each other, we have a daughter; sure I'll give it a shot." She smiled back.

"Oh yeah that…I think we need to talk about that next, I don't think she can stay at your house."

"Well that's obvious, at least until it's repaired, but where's she to live, please tell me you found a place for our little girl." Sam said, Danny's eyes widened a bit, like he was surprised, Sam wondered if she said something wrong.

"Danny, are you okay?"

"Oh yeah, it's just…you said our little girl, it's just going to take a while to get used to that I guess."

"Yeah, it is weird, we're both sixteen and we already have a daughter."

"We have ghost powers, a friend who names his PDA's and fight ghosts on a daily business and having a daughter is weird, I figured we'd be used to weirdness by now."

"Yeah but that's our normal life, but please tell me you found a place."

"Actually I have, I asked Clockwork; apparently I can make a ghost lair."

"What, Danny we aren't going to leave our daughter in the Ghost Zone."

"No, Clockwork said a ghost creates his lair where he dwells or haunts or lives, we live in Amity Park, I could set up my door in my closet or something, the doors in the Ghost Zone are lairs set up in the Ghost Zone, plus you shouldn't have to worry about ghosts coming after Dani again."

"Why, that's what Vlad and Skulker did, what's to stop Technus, Ember, or Undergrowth from trying?"

"Well for one, because ghost children are so rare, they are actually protected, breaking the rule and harming or attacking a ghost kid is as severe as breaking the Christmas or Deathday truces, if someone was to attack Dani, Walker would be on them., that's why Skulker is on the run."

"Okay so we have a home for her, I could use some of my money to provide things for her, remember I'm rich, my parents won't care or notice if a few thousand is spent here or there."

"Oh crap, your parents, Sam, you, Sam Manson is still supposed to be in critical condition."

"Oh don't worry about that, while they were operating on you I snuck out and went back, the doctors still believe that I'm there, I just have to be back for their morning check, but hopefully my grandma will have signed me out by then."

"Didn't she have a heart attack, why aren't your parents signing you out?"

"Would you believe that they went to their vacation home in Florida while their daughter was in the hospital?"

"Sam…I'm sorry."

"Don't be, I'll give it to them when they get back, but there is one more thing we need to talk about."

"What's that?"

"Well for one, all of Amity Park knows that Dani is the daughter of Danny Phantom, and now they also know that Dani has a mother, your parents are going to ask us, so unless you want to come out clean and with the whole truth, we need to come up with a story."

"Okay well what do they think?"

"Well they know that I'm Dani's mother, they know that you're Dani's father, so they think we're, uh, is mated the correct term for ghosts?"

"Yes, mated is the ghost word for married."

"Okay they think we're mated."

"Well, that's not a bad start, think about it, Amity doesn't know how old we are, for all they know we could be 30 years old, when we're in ghost form we could act like we're a married couple, and date as humans."

"Well that's really the only other option, if we said we were separated or divorced or not together at all, we would both be pestered by "phans", and other organizations."

"What do you mean?"

"Well while you were being patched up, I went for a little walk, and there have been some rumors on the news that, some organizations might want to take Dani from us if they find out her home isn't good or her parents are having trouble, almost like Child services."

"Well then they should back off if we say we are happily mated."

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, the two Halfa's jumped and looked at it. Cujo wasn't barking so they must have been friendly. Seconds later the door opened and familiar figures walked into the room, Dani was leading, closely followed by The Fentons and Valerie. Danny also got a quick look at Lance Thunder and his camera crew, but his dad just shoved the camera out of the way and closed the door behind him. Somehow Lance must have gotten into the hospital, his bosses probably demanding him to get footage of a recovering Phantom and his family.

"Sorry about that, don't know how those vultures got in here." Jack said.

"It's alright, I'm not going to be here much longer anyways, but I do want to thank you for all that you've done for me and my family, I don't really know how I'm going to repay you."

"What you can do is stay out of trouble, I put my neck on the line for you because I believe what you said about ghosts not being all bad is true, but you give me one reason to doubt that and I won't hesitate to put you down." Valerie said.

"You don't have to worry about that, I meant what I said, and I said what I meant, I'm a good ghost, all I want is to protect my world, my town, and my family, as long as those are safe, I won't be a problem."

"But I do have to thank you, for helping to save my dad, and not killing me, by the way, how did you know that you could bring me back?"

"If I wasn't sure it would work, I never would have done it, I'm no killer, anyways you should go home spend the day with your father."

"No way Phantom, if you're not out there dealing with the evil ghosts, then I will."

"You don't have too, Frostbite told me that Amity Park will be left alone today, there will be no ghost attacks, and there will probably be severe punishments for any who defy that."

"Frostbite, that's that big, fury, yeti thing right?" Jack asked.

"Yeah that's him, leader of the Far Frozen, a realm in the Ghost Zone, a good and loyal friend of mine, but may I ask what you're exactly doing here, other than checking on me?"

"Well we just wanted to know if we could ask you some questions, but we figured after what you and your family have been through, we figured we'd ask another day."

"Same here, I'll find you some other time Phantom, bye Dani and bye…I'm sorry I didn't get your name?" Valerie said as she opened a window to leave before turning toward Sam.

"Samantha, Samantha Phantom." Sam answered.

"Okay, well see yeah, Samantha, or Mrs. Phantom." Valerie said as she sped out the window, noting how weird Mrs. Phantom sounded, she never of thought the ghost boy was hitched.

"Well we'd better be off, you should be all healed, you can leave at any time, we just wanted to say thank you."

"For what?"

"For saving us, if it wasn't for you the GIW would have left our children, Jasmine and Daniel parentless."

"No need to thank me, I'm just doing my job."

"But even after everything we've done to you, we've hunted you tried to dissect you molecule by molecule."

"Bygones, all I want is my city, its citizens, their family and my family safe from harm, just like you."

"Well in that case, we'd best be off, we need to get home to our own kids."

With that the Fentons left, now it was just The Phantom Family left in the room. Danny climbed out of the bed and stretched, he could not believe how much better he was feeling compared to yesterday. Now all he had to do was sneak out without the reporters and news copters that were probably waiting outside to ambush them. However one thing did come to Danny's mid that got him curious.

"Samantha Phantom?"

"Huh?" Sam asked.

"You said Samantha Phantom, why you're full name; you hate it when people say you're full name?"

"Sam Manson hates people calling her Samantha, do you see how much different I look as a ghost, not that much, It's a wonder no one has put two and two together, so I figured if Samantha Phantom has no problem being called Samantha, people won't compare us."

"Why don't I see that lasting, you could have used something else like Rose, or Thorn or Sammy?" Danny said with a smirk.

"Oh no, not even you, not even you Daniel James Fenton can call me Sammy." Sam said waving her finger.

"Okay, sorry, why don't you get Sam Manson out of the hospital and we'll be out shortly."

"Right, that shouldn't take too long."

"Okay but can you guys make it quick?" Dani said anxiously.

"Danielle, there's no need to rush, I don't have any plans for today."

"Yes you do, remember what you said."

"What did I say?" Danny asked.

"Remember when you tucked me in two nights ago you said you'd take me to The Hobbit this weekend, well it's the weekend." Dani said with a smile on her face.

"Oh right, I did say that…" Danny said with a smile, he gave a little chuckle, after everything that happened in the past few days, she still remembered he said he'd take her to The Hobbit. "…you're right I did, alright then as soon as we're done here I'll check movie times alright."

"Yes!"

Sam left the room, phased through the wall and entered the hall. She looked down to see Cujo, sitting in his pup form, still being a loyal guard. He looked up at Sam, wagging his tounge.

"Okay boy, everything is good, off you go."

Cujo responded with a bark, and with that he turned invisible and scampered off. It was only after he left did Sam think of the carnage and chaos she might have just released onto the city. She would deal with that later, she phased through the floor and walls of the hospital until she got to her room. As soon as she entered, the room was filled with a green light as two rings formed around her waist. Sam turned back into her human form and climbed back into the bed, as if she never left in the first place.

Sam laid her head back, thinking about everything that had transpired, she was so excited, she and Danny were finally a couple. Her dreams were finally coming true, she was Danny's girlfriend, to top it off she found out they have a daughter, she has awesome ghost powers, Danny's not being hunted by his parents or Valerie and Vlad won't bother them ever again. Sam was brought out of her thoughts by a knock on the door, seconds later it opened up, and a doctor held it open as an elderly lady entered the room on a scooter. Sam smiled as she saw her Grandma, alive and well.

"Here's your granddaughter Mrs. Manson, when you're ready come to the front and we'll sign her out."

"Thank you doctor."

The doctor smiled as he closed the door. Sam got out of the bed and ran over to her Grandma, embracing the elderly woman in a big hug. Of all Sam's family, she felt the closest to her grandmother, she was always encouraging and supportive of her lifestyle, her friends and her love for Danny, if there was anyone on the planet other than Danny Sam could trust, it was her Grandma. She was so terrified when she found out her Grandma had a heart attack, and she started to think, she had always expected her grandma to be there with her, she had to prepare for the upcoming day when she wouldn't be, face the horrible reality of life.

"Oh Grandma, are you alright."

"Yes dearie, I'm okay, your grandma's a lot tougher than she looks, this old ticker won't stop ticking for a while yeah hear?" the kind woman said.

"I'm just glad you're alright, I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Sam, you're a beautiful, strong, independent woman, like me in my youth, you would have managed fine; you do remember that my will states that you inherit all my money, house and belongings."

"Yeah, but that's not important to me, you're family, and the one person who loves me."

"Now Sam that's not true…"

"Oh come on Grandma, I'm here in the hospital and my parents are at their vacation home in Florida, if they loved me at all they would be here."

"Well, your parents do love you, but I wasn't referring to them."

"You weren't?"

"No, I was referring to that Danny boy you keep talking about."

"Oh right, oh right, I forgot, what will my parents do when they learn we're dating?"

"Oh I'm so happy for you; you finally got the courage to ask him out."

"Well we kind of asked each other." Sam said, her cheeks blushing.

"Well I'd hope so, especially after what happened, so when do I get to meet my great-granddaughter?"

Sam's blushed cheeks suddenly drained, along with all the color in her face. Her grandmother's word played through her head, great granddaughter. How did she know, how did she know. Sam didn't know what to do, she trusted her Grandma just as much as Danny, but at the same time scared, now she knew what Danny felt like, why he didn't want to tell his parents, being afraid of being rejected. Sam didn't know what to do, maybe a lie, it felt horrible to lie to her grandma, and especially after all they've been through.

"What, Great granddaughter, Grandma, no, I haven't done that with Danny, we're waiting for marriage."

"Sam, don't play coy with me, I may be old but my eyes and mind are as sharp as ever, I know you're trying to protect your friend's secret, I understand that, but after last night's events, I felt I needed to tell you."

"How, how long have you known?"

"Oh I've know your friend was Phantom for a couple months after that Circus Gothica thing, first of all they look similar, and then the name, Danny Fenton, Danny Phantom, I don't know what I should be more shocked at the fact that you're dating a ghost super hero or everyone else in this town is dumber than and old coot, also don't think I didn't recognize my granddaughter on TV fighting that evil Mayor Masters."

"Okay, Grandma I know I can trust you, yes, Danny is Phantom, and we do have a daughter, it's wasn't from anything like that, I didn't sleep with him I…It's a long story."

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but I felt that since you two now have more in common than before, and how he had you and your other friend Tucker, you might need someone to share your secret with, ghost powers, dating a hero, having a daughter at 16 or not, your still my granddaughter, and I will never love you any less."

"Thanks grandma."

"But I still want to meet my great-granddaughter."

Sam embraced her grandmother in another hug, a feeling of relief coming over her. Her grandmother was old, but she was wise, she was right, she was always right. She needed someone who she could talk to, someone who understood her, someone she can share her most guarded secrets with, and that person was her grandmother. Suddenly the sound of phasing filled the air; Sam looked up to see Danny poking his head through the roof.

"Hey Sam we're already up here if you're ready to g….." Danny stopped talking as soon as he realized Sam's grandmother was in the room, the elderly lady turned and looked at him.

"It's alight dear, I've known for a while, you can come down."

Danny, who was at the moment recovering from having a heart attack of his own, fell through the floor and landed on the ground. A nervous look came across his face, he wasn't expecting this, and he walked up to them. Then he looked at Sam, his face almost looked like betrayal.

"Sam…did you tell your grandmother?"

"No, she didn't I figured out on my own, I've known for a while, I just told Sam about it now, and don't worry Danny, you're secret is safe with me."

"It is, I…I"

"Don't say anything, unlike Sam's parents I approve of you, I've watched you and Sam over the years, you two are perfect for each other, sure you can be weird, but that makes you unique, girls never forget unique men, and my Sammy loves very much, ever since the second grade she's been thinking about you with hearts buzzing around her head."

"Grandma!" Sam yelled embarrassed.

"Oh sorry dearie got carried away in the past, anyways I don't care if you're a ghost, as long as you love her and take care of her, which I know you will, you're a good boy Daniel."

"Uh...thanks ma'am."

"Now I except to meet my great-granddaughter at some point, but for now, since I remember what it was like to be young and in love, run along you two."

Danny smiled, he was glad there was one more person who not only supported his alternate life, but supported his love for Sam, and this one was a member of her family. Danny grabbed Sam's hand and the two walked out of the room. They made it to the lobby of the hospital, everyone was around the television, and they were probably watching the events of last night, which have been running nonstop. Two men in black suits walked past them, making their way to the front.

"Danny, where's Danielle?"

"She's outside, with Jazz and Tucker, they came back after my parents left, they took her and I came looking for you."

"Oh, so what's this about The Hobbit?"

"Well as the mother of our child, you should know that…."

"Please tell Phantom that this is a matter of national importance!"

Danny was cut off by the mention of his name; he turned around to see one of the men in black suits talking to a receptionist. Danny pulled Sam to the side, curious to who these men were and what exactly they wanted. One was African American, bald and wore black shaded glasses with a communications device in his ear. He looked just like Agent O if the GIW were the GIB; the other who was talking had red hair, his eyes also behind glasses, and also with a device in his ear.

"I'm sorry gentlemen, but Mr. Phantom has been cleared and may have already left the grounds with his family."

"Well we need to find him; The President of The United States has demanded a meeting."

"Well I'm sorry I don't know where he is, you could try looking around to see if he's near."

"Well thank you for your assistance anyways citizen, if he returns tell him The President wants to meet at City Hall."

Danny looked at Sam; she gave him the same look he was thinking. Something must have been serious if The President wanted to talk to Phantom; it was probably about what had happened and about the Guys in White. They continued to walk out of the hospital, passing several more agents as they did. As soon as they were clear of the hospital area, they looked to see Jazz, Tucker and Dani waiting for them, a look of confusion on their faces.

"Hey dude, what's with all the MIB?"

"They're not Men in Black Tuck, their Secret Service." Sam said.

"Wait Secret Service, you mean The Pres.'s guards."

"Yeah I overheard one of them talking, The President wants to meet with me at City Hall." Danny said.

"Then what are you waiting for, go meet him." Jazz said.

Danny was just about to do that, but then he noticed Dani, she was looking at the ground a small frown across her face. Danny remembered, he said he's take her to the movies to see The Hobbit, she looked devastated, he didn't want to be the kind of father who put work ahead of family. But he also didn't want to jeopardize his town my ignoring his job, Danny thought it over, he then smiled and looked at them.

"I can do that later, I promised Dani I'd take her to the movies."

"But Danny, The President, you're ignoring The President." Tucker said.

"Yeah so, I'll see him after the movie, I've been through hell in the past twenty four hours, and now I want to spend time with my daughter and her mother, my girlfriend."

"Dude, did you just say what I think you said?" Tucker said as his eyes swelled huge.

"Yeah, me and Sam are dating."

"Dude, you just won me a lot of money, I mean a lot!" Tucker said as he pulled out his PDA and started to calculate what were probably his winnings.

"Wait you bet on us?" Danny and Sam both said.

"Yeah, everybody did, your parents, Dash, Paulina, Mr. Lancer, my parents and Jazz."

"Hey you said you wouldn't tell." Jazz said.

"So you guys are making money off of us?" Danny asked.

"Yeah."

"Good, then you can afford to loan me a few bucks for tickets, popcorn and drinks."

Tucker's jaw dropped open, but he reached into his wallet and handed Danny the money for the theater. Danny then put it into his pocket and grabbed Dani and Sam's hands, the three of them then started to walk off towards downtown, to have a family day at the moves. Jazz watched as her little brother left, she was proud of him, but also a little weird, watching her little brother walk off with his family. She looked back to see Tucker continuing to make the calculations of his winnings. The Phantom Family was had only made a block before Sam spoke up.

"You never did answer me, why The Hobbit?"

"Well you see it all started out when…."


There you go, Chapter 29 out of 30, yes there is only one more Chapter, however I see it mostly as an epilogue, but first of all, yes this chapter was mostly dialogue but I had to wrap some things up, yes I'm telling you now that if I've introduced something in this story and left I unresolved, I'm saving it for the sequel, such as Sam's suitors, the other ghost hunters, the president, the GIW. Also I wrote this all today, I started to write it, thinking I should get a good start on it, and before I knew it I couldn't stop and I had the whole thing written, now I know this chapter isn't exciting as the past several chapters, but I needed to give some resolution to this story, the real resolution comes later. The Next chapter isn't long and I see it more and an epilogue, and because I worked on this, I need to work on my school work, I only have one thing to work on and it's not that hard and won't take too much time but I do have to work on it. But anyways that's due Thursday so that means if luck holds out I can give you guys the final chapter on Friday night/Saturday morning, and give you guys the sneak peak at the sequel on Christmas day. So sadly yes, this story is almost done, but it's only the beginning as I have two and maybe even three sequels planned, so what I suggest is you take this time and re-read the whole story if you haven't already, get it all again in preparation for the last chapter.

So as always if you loved this story or at the very least liked it please favorite/follow and please review, let me know what you think, tell me what you thought of the story as a whole, what were your favorite parts, what would you like to see next, but please don't ask me for a release date, if I get too many people asking about a release date I will revoke the privilege you have of getting a sneak peak at the next story. So until next time.

Update: December 19th 2013, Final Chapter being released within the next 5 hours at the time I'm writing this
