Danny was still asleep and it was already almost 9 o'clock. Jazz has decided not to disturb him even to eat and had left his sandwich she made him in the refrigerator. Jazz stood next to Danny's bed looking at him curiously and pondering over whether or not their parents had heard what Danny had said before he collapsed. Jack had been silent through out dinner and actually thinking about something, and actually thinking!
Danny stirred slightly in bed. Jack appeared in the doorway. Jazz stood up from where she had been sitting on the floor.
"I'm going to go get something to drink, can you watch him dad?" asked Jazz. Jack nodded and Jazz went out of the room and down the stairs. Jack walked into the room staring at Danny with a guilty look on his face. Danny suddenly shot up in bed scaring Jack to death. He screamed while Danny looked confused and disoriented.
"Ah, dad?" mumbled Danny rubbing his eyes tiredly. Jack scooted over to his son's bed.
"You scared the heck at of me! I thought you were overtaken by a ghost or something!" exclaimed Jack. "He might be already." thought Jack. Danny smiled innocently.
"Nope, no ghosts here." said Danny his eyes flicking left and right nervously. "I wasn't talking in my sleep was I?" he asked nervously.
"No, why?" questioned Jack. Danny looked nervous for a second then sighed with relieved then became nervous again.
"No reason." he said averting his eyes. Being stupid Jack didn't even notice the change in Danny's attitude. After a second of silence Jack finally spoke up.
"I came up here to ask you something." said Jack shifting his voice to serious. Danny gulped and uneasily asked;
"What did you want to ask me?" Jack paused for a second in though which made Danny even more nervous, if possible, because his dad usually didn't put to much thought in things.
"When you got hit by the thermos, which I'm sorry for," started Jack. Danny only nodded his head to show that it was okay. "You mumbled something. You said going ghost. Was that only incoherent rambling or where you being possessed by a ghost?" Jack gave Danny a look that said 'I'm watching you.'
"No, ah, I was just blindly mumbling stuff that doesn't make sense at all." said Danny stumbling over his words. Jack dropped his gaze but wasn't buying anything that Danny had just said.
"Oh, and I was wondering why the Fenton ghost finder was on the table." said Jack snapping his fingers when he remembered the other thing he had wanted to ask Danny. He reached into one of his pockets in his yellow lab suit and pulled out the machine switching it on as he did.
"For no reason at all." said Danny quickly. He swung his legs over so he could sit at the side of his bed. He stood up a swaying slightly. The ghost finder was blinking and Jack saw it was pointing at Danny and moved when he did. Jack was utterly baffled, Danny wasn't the ghost. The ghost was Jazz!
"This thing most be broken." said Jack shaking it up and down angrily. Danny just grinned slightly. Not paying attention Jack started to mess around in the gears. "I don't see anything out of place." he mumbled putting the cover back on. Jack looked up just as Danny lost control of his powers for one second. His arm went intangible causing Jack to jump with a start.
"Ah...it's not what it looks like?" said Danny more like a question. Jack was gapping since Danny's arm had just reappeared.
"A ghost has overtaken Danny!" cried Jack "Don't worry son, I'll save you!" he bounded out of the room and down the stairs screaming for Maddie to get the Fenton Foamer and Ghost Peeler. Danny, sweating severely, walked outside of his room looking for Jazz so she could maybe get him out of this mess.
"Oh, that was smart Danny." said Jazz scaring Danny since he hadn't seen her. Jazz was leaned up against the wall in front of his bedroom. She looked slightly pitying and mostly over come with worry.
"It's not my fault!" shouted Danny panicking since he could hear their parents powering up all their ghosts inventions, like ghost peelers and other ones that Danny knew would hurt just as much. "I have to tell them the truth before they suck my ghost half out!" he trembled at the thought of his parents knowing his secret.
"That can actually happen?" asked Jazz panic forming in her eyes too. Danny had never seen her so concerned for him before he felt happy to have such a good sister to back him up especially right now.
"It happened once. The ghost dream catcher really works. It removed me from, well me!" Jazz tried to picture this and found it very frightening. They could now both hear their parents heading up the short flight of stairs. Danny hid behind Jazz partially as Jack and Maddie appeared. Maddie was holding the Fenton ghost shredder while Jack had the Fenton Foamer, which shots out ectoplasmic goo, ready to fire.
"Step aside Jazz, we have to get that ghost out of Danny!" said Maddie. Jack was trying to catch his breath from running down the stairs, grabbing all the gadgets, and running back up the stairs.
"There's no ghost inside Danny, it's more like a part of him!" cried Jazz shielding Danny with her arms even though she had already been blocking him pretty well. Jack scratched his head not comprehending what Jazz had said.
"Eat ectoplasmic goo!" he cried powering up the gun. It made a humming noise as it prepared to fire.
"Can't you let me explain?" asked Danny tensely. Jack and Maddie exchanged glances and Jack lowered the foamer only a little but it stopped making any noises. "I'm half ghost but I'm still Danny!" Jack looked way beyond confused and it was Maddie's turn to speak up.
"But that's not possible, is it?" she asked trying to think through a whole list of scientific formulas that had popped into her mind.
"It is if you go to turn on the Fenton portal from the button inside while it's still plugged in." said Danny half mumbling but half saying it to his parents. Jazz giggled a little which made her feel weird since she never really giggled, or just hadn't for way to long.
"You mean....?" asked Maddie trailing off. She slapped her forehead. "I knew we where missing something!" Jack groaned as realization sunk in. "So then your half ghost because of our mistake?" asked his mom looking upset at herself.
"Yeah, well it's not that bad. I sort of like being unique sometimes." said Danny being sincere. It made him fell special, and if their were never ghosts to fight then everything would be perfect. Jack lowered the Fenton foamer all the way.
"Your sure your not being possessed?" he asked sternly. Danny nodded his head up and down. Jack looked at the gun sheepishly and hid it behind his back.
"We don't we go into the living room and ah, sort this out." suggested Maddie. Her head was spinning with thought and emotions and she just couldn't take standing up any longer. They all went down the stairs and over to the living room.
"Danny, you don't have to do this you know." whispered Jazz to Danny. He looked at her puzzled.
"Its to late now." said Danny. Jazz reluctantly agreed. Danny and Jazz sat down on the couch while Maddie sat in a chair. Jack sat down besides her but ended up pushing her off because of his bulk.
"Sorry Maddie." he mumbled. Jack got up and sat down on another chair while Maddie stood up, brushed herself off, and sat back down.
"Okay Danny, start from the beginning, I'm still at a loss for the scientific reasoning in this." said Maddie calmly. So Danny told them the whole story as her had told Jazz, this time including his ghost battles with out any mention of Vlad for the time being. It felt good to tell them everything even if he felt like he was sweating bullets.
"That's about it." finished Danny. Maddie seemed a bit more calm but Jack was fidgeting nervously in his seat.
"Sorry, have to visit the little ghost hunters room." said Jack. He got up and left wobbling slightly as he turned the corner to go to the bathroom downstairs where Danny had hid when he first got his ghost powers. After watching him go Maddie turned back to look at Danny and Jazz.
"So, Jazz dear, how long have you known Danny's secret? How long ago was this incident with Spectra?" asked Maddie. Jazz did a quick count in her head.
"About a month or two ago, but I didn't even tell Danny I knew." replied Jazz. Danny was in thought over something.
"So Danny, why have you been lying to us for so long?" asked Maddie. She had a hurt look on her face.
"I would have told you but I was afraid you wouldn't believe me if I told you I wasn't being possessed by a ghost." admitted Danny hanging his head. He felt so guilty just looking at his mom's expression, he couldn't stand looking her in the eye and seeing that hurt in her eyes.
"It's okay dear, I understand." said Maddie calmly. The tune in her voice made Danny look up. She didn't have the hurt look on her face anymore, she sort of looked like she was kicking herself for something but wasn't hurt or upset at Danny. "I was also wondering if you could answer one more question, do all of our gadgets work or just some?" Danny had really already answered that question through telling his adventures but decided it couldn't hurt.
"Pretty much so. The Fenton Thermos of course works, the Fenton Fisher, the Fenton Ghost Grabbers, the Dream Catcher in the basement," Maddie made a happy noise.
"I knew that would work! Buh yah!" she said pumping her fists into the air. She stopped and looked at the weirded out looks that were on Jazz's and Danny's faces and smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, it was just great news." Danny nodded and continued on his list.
"The Fenton Ghost Talk Translator.." Maddie held up a hand to signal Danny to stop.
"I'll be right back I just want to go get that, if you don't mind." said Maddie standing up. Danny just nodded his head up and down with a confused look on his face. Jazz raised a eyebrow as Maddie ran to the basement and went down the stairs in a hurry. Jack finally came back and sat back down in the chair.
"So what did I miss?" he asked happily. Jazz was still pondering over why their mom had gotten so pumped up about that and had flew down the stairs so Danny spoke up one again.
"Mom went to go get the Fenton Ghost Talk Translator thing." he said just as Maddie appeared back in the living room clutching the device in her hands tightly.
"Danny, if you wouldn't mind would you say something into this again?" asked Maddie holding it out towards him. Danny looked slightly confused but just shrugged his shoulders.
"Um...boo?" said Danny into the machine like he had done before when they had first made him say something into the box. A machine voice kicked in.
"I am a ghost, fear me." said the box in a girl voice. Maddie kind of gasped happily.
"It worked! I just had to see something work and I did! Woe!" said Maddie happily. Jack got up and tapped Maddie on the shoulder.
"Can I see that for a moment Maddie?" he asked Maddie handed it to him and he examined it for a second before saying;
"Boo." nothing happened. "Wow! It really does work on only ghosts, I never even bothered to see if it would do anything if I talked into it!" Maddie slapped her forehead.
"Jack, you didn't even check to see if it was defective?" asked Maddie her voice slightly rising but not by much.
"Well, I was excited it was finished and at least it works." countered Jack holding the machine tightly. Danny just rolled his eyes at his dads stupidity when he couldn't see.
"Danny, do you want to stop cause you don't have to keep talking about this all night. At your young age it could be very unhealthy to stay up to late and it's already almost 10 o'clock." said Jazz finally saying something after her long period of silence.
"No Jazz it's fine. Oh wait! I have English homework! Lancer's going to kill me." groaned Danny remembering about the essay question he was supposed to answer on the book "To Kill a Mockingbird." that they had started to read in class.
"I did it for you, I'll bill you later." said Jazz winking. Danny sighed with relief.
"Thanks Jazz, I don't know what I'd do without you or Sam or Tucker." said Danny whipping the sweat that had collected on his forehead from his panic. Jazz smiled. Jack and Maddie finished their argument and sat back down. Jack set the Fenton Ghost Translator on the coffee table and shifted slightly in his chair. A cracking sound was heard from under him and the tv flicked on. Jack stood up with an embarrassed look on his face.
"Whoops, time for another remote." said Jack sheepishly picking up the smashed remains of the remote and setting it on the coffee table next to the Translator. Danny looked over at the tv and laughed at what was on. Jazz followed his gaze. It was the scifi channel showing the movie the Sixth Sense.
"Come on, ghosts don't look like regular people." said Danny rolling his eyes at the screen. Maddie piped up.
"What do you look like in, well ghost mode?" asked Maddie nervously. Danny groaned. This was it, he was going to have to show them and that would make everything final, there would be no going back if they had seen him in ghost form, so he stood up and prepared to go ghost.
R&R please!
