"Ooops, I Missed"
Chapter Three: Jack's Suspicions
Danny flew up to the top of the roof, phased through the floor, down to where his parents were and detransformed behind Jack.
"Who was that?" he asked.
"I don't know. He said his name was Danny Phantom..." Jack was still awestruck at seeing such an advanced ghost. "Hmmm, that's the same first name as you! Are you a ghost?"
Maddie glanced at her husband, and then to her son. "Jack, don't be silly. Danny was here the whole time, right behind you. How could he be in two places at once?"
"I don't know, but my question still stands! Danny, are you a ghost!?" he asked firmly. Danny backed up a little and sighed.
"Do you really want to know? Because this is important."
"Yes, Danny! What part of 'Are you a ghost?' don't you understand?" Jack was getting impatient.
"I-I can't answer!" Danny knew this would raise his father's suspicions, but he didn't want his secret out. Not with his parents. Who knows what they'd do?
"Dad, Danny's a common name! Danny is not a ghost!" Jazz had walked in and, seeing the trouble Danny was in, covered for him. "This is just another example of your obsession with ghosts!"
"Jazz is right; Danny isn't a ghost. We've had a long night, why don't we go to bed?" Maddie dragged her husband up the stairs.
Jack was really suspicious now. What if Danny was a ghost? That would explain why all of his inventions only worked around him. Not only that, it would explain why he was always out past curfew. But how could he be a human and a ghost? That was where he was stuck. But he was sure now that Danny was the ghost. Tomorrow, he'd research and make something that would expose him as the ghost he was!
The Next Day....
At lunch, Danny told his friends what had happened last night.
"Guys, what should I do? He could expose me at any moment! My secret isn't safe! I know he's suspicious; I'm so stupid! Why did I say my name was that!? Why not Mark Phantom or something!" Danny was a nervous wreck. He couldn't sleep at all that night, what with worrying so much that Jack would run in and use the Fenton Ghost Revealer on him.
"Danny, relax. Worrying won't get you anywhere." Sam tried to calm him down.
"Yeah, Danny, right now he's probably researching how to expel the ghosts of dead chickens from eggs," said Tucker.
"Okay, but can we please hit the library after school? I want to research and talk; since my house isn't safe anymore." The bell rang, and the three friends went off to their next classes.
Meanwhile...
Tucker was right; Jack was researching, but not about chickens and eggs. He was researching about Danny Phantom. It turned out that there were some witnesses and sightings of the ghost in the police records. One of the witnesses was Paulina Sanchez. (A/N: Remember in MBK? He knocked over her makeup. And other times.) And another was Dash Baxter. (A/N: In Parental Bonding, he phased through the bleachers. There were also other times.) They were pulled out of school and brought to the police station.
"Have you seen this ghost?" Jack shoved pictures of Danny Phantom in their faces.
"Um, yeah. Once or twice, I think" Dash tried to remember. "Yes! Remember when you chaperoned the dance?" Jack nodded.
"Continue"
Dash clearly remembered now.
((Flashback))
Dash was hitting on his date when he heard a strange whistling noise. He turned quickly and saw a ghost crashing through the bleachers. He had white hair, which was odd because he appeared to be a kid. He also had green eyes, but not green like that geek Tucker. These were a bright, glowing green. Just as soon as he saw him, the ghost flew off and Dash saw him fighting this huge dragon!
((End Flashback))
He had run off then, but the memory was still fresh in his mind. He quickly told him all this, and then Paulina had to tell her sighting.
"I saw him the same time Dash saw him. He actually saved me from the dragon!" Paulina recalled. "There was also another time. I was trying out foundation in the mall, and this ghost appeared behind me! It was green and had red eyes."
((Flashback))
Paulina was annoyed that another old person hovered over her. She turned to tell her off, and saw a monster instead!
"Aaahh!!" she screamed. Another ghost quickly came and knocked it away. He then beat it, but barely. He seemed angry with himself. He talked to some kids for a minute and then flew away.
((End Flashback))
"I can't remember the kids names! But I do know that they're friends of Danny's, because he took me to the dance that time," Paulina said.
"It doesn't matter, because I now have all the information I need. Thank you."
