Danny Fenton was a simple teen and cherished the simple things in life, so he couldn't for the life of him understand why his parents couldn't understand the simple fact their was know such thing as ghost. I mean they were geniuses, his dad being a freelance engineer and his mom a 9th degrees black belt, forensic scientist. Great jobs that paid the bills and funded their little hobby and by hobby he meant Monster Hunting.They couldn't accept the cold hard fact that they have absolutely no proof of supernatural beings no matter how many crackpots say otherwise . But, no, with his parents that couldn't be done. So now here he was sitting around the dining table as his parents told him the "exciting" news, note the sarcasm. Even his sister, Jazz decided not to go to the library today , to join in this little family council meeting. "Danny, Jazz" his mother, Maddie started, as their father, Jack, placed his large hands over her shoulder and continued on her behalf, "kids, you know your mother and I have been wanting to pursue our dreams of ghost hunting " he stated a known fact."Well your mother and I have decided to quit our jobs" "WHAT!" both children shouted interrupting their father", "How could you do that, is this some sick joke?" Jazz yelled in apprehension. Maddie frowned at her daughter's comment "Jazz" she started "your father did the math we have enough money to support us, plus we're not going to stay idle " she told her children, Jazz knew this fact after all her parents knew how to handle their money and with their father's inheritance, money was not a problem, she just wished that her parents would stop pursuing their silly dream of studying the supernatural biology, monsters from stories aren't real. Jack look between his wife and children, he could see them the tension. This wasn't a surprise no matter how clueless they thought he was, he knew that this would upset his children . He knew that Danny been having problems at school, with him getting into fights and getting caught smoking in the abandoned parking lot. He even died the tips of his hair white, not to mention the piercings and tattoos. Jazz on the other hand was always busy, volunteering at clinic psyche ward, going to the library to study, doing extra credit assignments and the like. He knew they weren't the little children they once were, Danny being sixteen and Jazz being eighteen his kids were growing up. He hoped the next big news would cheer them up, so he opened his big mouth and told the next shocking report "WHAT?" his children shrieked again. He didn't what he said wrong, all he said they'd be moving. "The move would be good for the family, we'd get a fresh start " he said in defense . Jazz thought this over, when she thought about it, her dad was right. They would be somewhere new , no one would know them or that her parents are nut jobs or that her brother is a troubled teen, he could finally make friends. Danny didn't see the bright side of this, but then again saw the bright side of anything, he didn't want to leave here, this was the place he grew up in , he knew nowhere else, and this was the place he met her, he didn't want to leave those memories behind, plus what school in their right mind would accept him with his track record, sure his grades were good but he had behavioural issues, he knew, his parents knew this, and most importantly the school will know this as soon as they got their hands on his file. "And before you ask about how we'd manage to keep our lives together without a job, we already bought a house " Maddie breathed out," And we decided to open a mortuary " she finished. Days has passed since his parents made the announcement about the move, he was currently cutting class. It was the last week of school before summer vacation and his family was set to leave the following day, he dreaded tomorrow, he took a drag of his cigarette and slowly blew out the smoke. Two years ago, you wouldn't catch him doing things like this, he was an innocent, naive fourteen year old. He got fed up of shit being done to him so he fought back, got in the wrong crowd and made bad teenage decisions, like the piercings in his ears or the tattoos hidden under his gloves and jacket. The only good decision he made was the training he did with his mom, gave him lithe muscles. He wasn't picked on for being scrawny anymore. He made sure no one messed with him anymore. 'CRACK' Danny shot up, at first he thought it was a teacher, "Let me go!" he heard, from the parking lot 'SMACK' "Shut it nerd " this time he knew exactly what was going after all, two years ago that was him. He went out in the open. "This is his, last offense, " the principal began, he didn't get it though, how was he the only one getting punished, he was currently in the principal office with his parents. Danny knew he got himself in a lot of trouble, after all he was placed on probation not so long ago. He actually was trying to keep of trouble, but seeing what those wannabe thugs were doing to that freshman, made him snap, so here he was sitting in front of the principal beside his parents, for protecting someone from what used to be his fate, how noble of him. "Mr. Fenton, you do understand, we've tried everything with from counselling to anger management groups," the principal began again "We're at our last ropes, but seeing as you've decided to move, I've decided not to expel Daniel, but I do recommend you get him checked by a psychiatrist," he then dismissed them. The whole way back Danny could sense his father's disappointment, he knew his mom would be much worse. They didn't know what it's like to be him, from all the stories he heard, his father was a well liked man during his glory days and his mother, she was smart , beautiful and strong, she was every guys heartthrob. His sister was complimented for being just like their mother. He on the other was shunned for being nothing but trouble. He wasn't all that good looking (the girls at his school begged to differ ), he wasn't smart enough or a star athlete , he was just a troubled teen that was more than he was worth. The awkward silence was broken by his father who let out a sigh " Danny, you know I'm not angry with you right," he looked at his father who was now staring at him, "Yeah," his voice cracked as he answered. Jack looked at his son, really looked at him, he could see that Danny has changed over course of two years. Two years ago they never had these problems with him, two years ago he was just a shy ,sweet, boy. Sure Danny was being bullied at school and the teachers ignored him when he complained about it, but Danny never fought back, he always tried to be forgiving. But all that changed, Jack never blamed his son for what he did, quite frankly, the kid deserved it. What he did to Danny was unforgivable, the teachers at least had sense to acknowledge that, and let Danny off with a warning. Of course they're was a lawsuit after that but when the judge and jury saw that Danny wasn't a kid to do that on purpose they ruled him innocent, after all Danny was scared, anybody would have done what he had done if they were in his shoes, right? Jack shook those thoughts out of his head, there's nothing wrong with Danny. Maddie was at home when she got the call from Jack, apparently Danny, broke some child's femur, of course Jack paid for the kids medical bill. Maddie was disappointed at first, but when she heard the reason Danny did it, she was slightly proud, just slightly. She missed her little boy, the sweet, caring boy , who hid his boo boos so she would help a bird that broke it's wings. Where was that Danny, don't get her wrong , she loved her son but she missed those simple times. She knew Danny was still that boy, he's just scared of showing it. 'Vroom' she heard them pulling up in the driveway. She went out to the front door as they entered the house. Danny had a forlorn look and took a beeline up the stairs before she could say anything. Jazz got home to dreary atmosphere, her parents were sitting by the island looking worn out and Danny was nowhere to be seen. She heard what happened at school, and couldn't help being annoyed at the situation, she was also mad at her parents. This was their fault, if it wasn't for their beliefs Danny wouldn't have been bullied. She went upstairs to her room, as she passed Danny's she could hear him sobbing, 'poor Danny,' she thought.
