C'mon, people, spread the love! Anyway, I'm glad that a lot of people like my story so far! It's my first story that I've gotten so many reviews that they don't fit on one page! I feel loved! hug myself Uh…you didn't just see that…

Jack: Hey, what are you doing writing a story about me? You don't own Danny Phantom!

Me: Never said I did, Jack. But, you can't blame me though. I mean, tons of people would love to own Danny Phantom.

Maddie: Don't you think you should get on with the story? I mean, angry readers are going to start throwing heavy things at you.

Me: Okay, on with the story! Enjoy!

            Jack couldn't think of anything to say. He was stunned.

            "So, this all happened because of me?" Jack asked.

            "Yeah, but I'm not mad at you, or anything! These powers actually help me out a little bit," Danny said, trying not to make his dad feel guilty.

            "Is there anyone else like you, Danny?"

            "Well…yeah, but…" Danny's voice trailed off. How could he tell Jack that he turned his best friend into one too?

            "But what?"

            "Well, that's a story for another day," Danny mumbled. He thought that he should tell Jack about how Vlad loved Maddie…but bringing up his mom would bring Jack to tears. He just got him to calm down too.

            "Um…okay…" Jack was at a loss for words. "Well, it's kinda late…I think I'll head off to bed."

            "Okay, Dad. See you in the morning."

            "Good-night, Mr. Fenton."

            There was an awkward silence as Danny and Sam watched Jack leave the room. Sam turned around and saw that those bright blue eyes were looking into hers once again.

            "Uh…D-Danny, I think I better, um, get going," Sam stuttered.

            "Sam, are you okay?" Danny was very worried about her.

            "Oh, uh, I'm fine. Really. But, Danny," Sam laid a gentle hand on Danny's shoulder. "If you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here."

            Danny, who had been sitting on his bed, reached up slowly and brushed a strand of hair out of Sam's face. He caressed her face slowly, her smooth skin sliding beneath his finger tips. Suddenly realizing what he was doing, Danny pulled his hand away, and cleared his thought.

            "We better get downstairs," Danny mumbled.

            "Yeah."

            They walked downstairs, each thinking there own thoughts.

            'Ugh, she probably thinks I'm a creep now. Why did I do that?' Danny could have slapped himself. Sam, on the other hand…

            'He feels the same way I feel about him, I bet. He looks embarrassed. I bet I can fix that.'

            Danny and Sam walked out onto the porch.

            "Good night, Danny." Sam leaned over and kissed Danny on the cheek.

            "Goo-Good night," Danny gasped. He felt like he was flying. The same butterflies.

"Danny? Jazz?" Jazz was reading a book and Danny was watching T.V.

"What is it, Dad?" Danny asked.

"I'm making a promise, and I want you two to hold me to it."

"We're listening."

"I am giving up ghost hunting for good, and if I even try to hunt a ghost, stop me. I know you've probably been teased at school because of me. Maybe I am crazy. Well, never again will I invent some stupid ghost catching devise. But I want you two to hold me to it. Got it?"

Danny and Jazz stared, open mouthed.

"But Dad, you've always hunted ghosts. Why stop now?" Danny asked.

"Because Danny…" Jazz knew what was coming. Jack only stuttered when he was going to say something about Maddie, now the she had left. She had been gone for about two weeks now. "Danny, when your mother left, I did some thinking. I concluded that your mother left because I didn't pay enough attention to her. I was focused on my work a little too much. I don't want that to happen to the two people in the world I value the most. You and Jazz. If you need me, I don't want to be too busy to listen to you. That's why I'm giving up ghost hunting."

"Are you going to find another job?" Danny thought he saw small tears in Jack's eyes. He hoped he didn't.

"Well, I guess so, but I have to make sure it while you're at school, but not on weekends."

"Dad, you don't have to be here for us all the time," Danny said in a somewhat sarcastic voice.

"Fine, Daniel, if you want it to be that way. I think I'll leave about now. See how well you do without me."

With that, Jack stormed out of the house, grabbing his coat on the way out.

"Did I say something wrong?" Danny asked, mostly to himself.

"Danny, you have to try to understand what Dad is going through right now. Think about what it would be like if you lost Sam."

"Sam is not my girlfriend!"

"I wasn't implying that, I was just saying that she is a good friend. But, since you say that…" Jazz closed her book and walked away.

Danny slapped his forehead. "Man, I have to watch what I say. I wonder where Dad went."

---------------------------

            Jack stumbled down the street. It was two o'clock in the morning. From time to time he forgot where he was going, but eventually, he made it home. He clumsily shoved the key into the lock and opened the door.

            "Dad?" Jazz's voice came from the kitchen.

            "Yes, Jazmine?" Jazz noticed that Jack's voice was slurred slightly.

            "Dad, where were you? I was worried sick about-"

            Jazz was cut short by some-what maniacal laughing, followed by a loud thump.

            "Dad? Dad! What happened-OH MY GOSH!"

            So, what happened to Jack? Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Me Procrastination Laziness No inspiration = No new chapter. Simple math, I guess. I decided to make this extra long, since I haven't updated, but I promise to update more often. I'm sad to announce that the end of the story is going to be here soon, but it will be extraordinary, if I do say so myself. Oh, yeah, and those people who have been reading the story since I started, you might recognize the part where Jack leaves. It was originally my second chapter. Well, stick with me people! Oh, yeah, the magic number this time is 5. 5 reviews. I'm counting on you guys!
