One day there was a power failure in most of Amity Park, the people needed a whole day to turn it on again, to their luck they brought it back to work before the night started. That was also the last day Danny Fenton was seen outside of Fenton works, nobody has seen him since that day, but the Fentons didn´t report him missing, they just reported him sick at school, what would mean he was still at Fenton works, or they knew where he was. Different rumors went through the school, it had been four weeks until it was to much for Sam "it´s enough!" she said and stopped abruptly. Tucker turned to her with a confused look "what?" he asked, "Danny wasn´t seen for four weeks now, I´m making sure he´s fine now!" Sam answered, "Sam, he´s just sick, nothing concerning, we all are sick once, it´s normal, maybe he just has a flu" Tucker said, "for four weeks? I don´t think so. And he didn´t answer to any of our text messages or calls, he always does that, even if he´s sick, and have you noticed how down Jazz is? Normally she´s the happiness in person, seriously that´s not normal, something has to be up!" Sam said and made her way to the school door. "Sam? Are you kidding? We have classes!" Tucker said overwhelmed, Sam rolled her eyes and turned to him "and? School isn´t important for me right now. I want to know what´s up with Danny. You don´t have to come with me if you don´t want to…" she turned back towards the door and started walking "…have fun with Mr Lancer in English, but I´m out" she said, "wait!" Tucker called and ran to catch up to her, "Oh, why the sudden change of mind?" Sam asked with a smirk, "I just want to know what´s up with Danny, just like you" he answered. Sam raised an eyebrow and looked away from him while they were heading towards Fenton Works. They were glad that it was just a five-minute walk, Sam was annoyed from Tuckers groaning about how hard it would be to walk such a `long´ way. "Tuck, we are here, you can stop being annoying" Sam grumbled "Oh, you… have… no idea, how…much… this takes out… of me" Tucker breathed. Sam rolled her eyes "sure, whatever" she said before pushing the doorbell. They heard a loud sound before the door opened "oh, hey, Sam, Tucker… how are you? Shouldn´t you be at school?" Maddie asked a bit nervous "school doesn´t matter right now, we want to know what´s up with Danny, where is he? He wasn´t in school for four weeks now and haven´t been seen outside either…" Sam put her hand up to stop Maddie from answering "…and don´t say he´s sick, nobody is sick for that long and not going to a hospital…" she sighed "…Mrs Fenton, we´re worried sick. Danny is our best friend and he hasn´t been seen for four weeks now, he didn´t even answer to our text messages or calls, please just tell us wha…" she got cut off from an echoing voice "Mum? Who´s at the door?" the voice asked from the basement. Sam pushed Maddie away before she could answer and grabbed Tuckers arm to pull him with her. Maddie wanted to stop them, but they were faster, and she decided to leave them alone with Danny. They got the open basement door and saw a glowing boy with white hair looking to his feet. "Danny?" Sam asked unsure, his head shot towards them, and Sam and Tucker winced at seeing the green glowing eyes "Sam? Tucker?" his eyes widened, and he vanished from sight. Sam and Tucker stood there with mouths hanging open "was that…was that D…Dannys Ghost?" Sam asked worried "No, No, he can´t be…it can´t be…" Tucker said in shock. They heard a quiet sniffle "D…Danny? Are you here?" Sam asked, it was silent for a short time "yes" Danny finally said, "can you…show yourself?" Sam asked, there was a long pause, it seemed like Danny was hesitating if or if not, he wants to show himself, but after some time he materialized sitting on the lab table with his knees pulled to his chest. "Are you… a Ghost?" Tucker asked, Danny put his chin on his knees and took a shuddering breath "that wasn´t the way you should have found out, I wanted to tell you, but… I just didn´t know how…" he took another shuddering breath "… yes… I´m a Ghost" Danny answered, "so you´re…d…dead?" Tucker asked. Dannys gaze saddened "Ghosts are…the soul of people who died, so yes…I died" he answered. Tucker and Sam sat down left and right next to Danny, they were quiet for a moment "did it hurt?" Sam asked quietly after a while, Danny pulled his knees tighter to his chest "I don't know... Ghosts don´t remember their deaths" it was almost a whisper and his friends almost didn´t hear it "Mum and Dad didn´t tell me what really happened and Jazz didn't either, but I think it had something to do with the power failure because it happened exactly at the same time" Danny said. Sam pulled him into a hug "we´re here for you" she said softly "yes Dude, we won´t leave you" Tucker said, "thanks Guys" Danny said with a weak smile "so… does that mean you won´t come back to school?" Tucker asked, "No…" Danny chuckled, "…I´ll go to school again… in a week" he answered "how?" Tucker asked. Danny smiled at him before he let a light form over his Core and rush over his body to shift him into a human disguise. "damn… how did you do this?" Tucker asked overwhelmed, Danny chuckled "I´m a shapeshifter… sadly it´s just the look… when I get wounded I´m still bleeding Ectoplasm, but it still gives me the chance to do what I did before… maybe it won´t be exactly like before, but I still want to try it" Danny explained, "but why didn´t you already come back?" Sam asked, Danny sighed and turned back "I still don´t really have the ghostliness under control… I mean, I´m still mostly like I´ve been before, I just got a bit… ghostly" he answered "and how does it show itself? What exactly is this ghostliness?" Tucker asked, "Ghosts exists through Obsessions, something they want or weren´t able to do before they died, and I… I got a bit overprotective. I don´t want anyone to be hurt, I mean it´s a good Obsession, I´m not hurting anyone, but when I´m back at school I have to be like I was before, I don´t want to look suspicious" Danny answered, "you don´t want anyone to know, do you?" Sam asked, "Not really… but I definitely planned to tell you, it would be wrong to not tell you, I wanted to tell right after it happened, but I didn´t know how, I didn´t know what to say, and because of that I didn´t answer your text messages or calls, I just didn´t know what to answer, even after four weeks it´s still hard for me to get on terms with the whole, you know… Ghost thing, and I really wanted to see you, it was so boring without you, I just wanted to go out one time and just visit you, but Mum and Dad aren´t the only Ghost hunters out there, they are on my side, but other Ghost hunters would just see me as a Ghost, nothing else. I´m not really good at controlling my powers yet and I don´t know if I would have made it to your house with all these Ghost hunters…" he sighed, "…I should have just called you and asked you if you could come over to me, but I was just an Idiot" he said, "come on Danny, you´re not an Idiot, I can understand something like this has to be hard for you" Sam said, "yeah Dude, and don´t worry we can come here as often as you want, well, you don´t have any other choice, we would come either way" Tucker said. "Thanks Guys" Danny said and chuckled, "wanna play doomed?" Danny asked, "you bet". Danny was glad to see his friends again after so much time and finally be able to have fun with them together again.
