Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, but I do own Jet, Christina, and Derek Masters. Got it?

Even Closer to the Truth Now…

Jet was in utter shock for a moment. No way could they be his parents! Yet… They looked exactly like them, and he had been old enough to remember them. So he did the only thing he really could do. Go over and talk to them. He climbed out of the Specter Speeder, took a deep breath, and walked towards the two people who were possibly his parents.

Christina and Derek Masters were talking about, of all things, the weather, especially since it never changes in the Ghost Zone. They were arguing whether rainy days or sunny days were better, when they spotted a man coming towards them. They didn't recognize him; after all, they hadn't seen Jet for a good thirty years. So when the man came up to them, they politely asked, "Hello. Who are you?"

"It's me! Jet!" yelled Jet at them. Then he calmed down. "You are Christina and Derek Masters, right?"

"Oh my gosh! Jet!" screamed Christina, hugging her son. "I thought we wouldn't see you until, well, much later! We've missed you so much!"

"Me too, Mom, me too," said Jet smiling.

"So what are you doing here, son?" asked Derek, happy, but curious.

"Well, actually, I'm doing research on ghosts, and I thought the best place to do that would be here," said Jet looking at his surprised parents.

"When did you start believing in ghosts? You didn't believe us about them when you were fourteen," Christina asked.

"That was before I saw a real ghost! Well a half ghost. His name was Danny Fenton, I think," said Jet.

"The kid halfa? You met him?" asked Derek excitedly.

"Yeah, I did, actually," said Jet. Then, surprisingly, Jet's arm went intangible for the second time that day. "Ahh!" he screamed, looking at where his arm would have been. "What's happening?"

Christina looked at her son. "Um, sweetie, there's something we need to tell you…"

Danny and Vlad arrived in St. Paul at the same time Jet was meeting up with his parents. A large mansion stood on a hill, complete with a motif of yellow and green. Danny thought, wow, this is just one mansion in one state? Vlad, on the other hand, was getting out and motioning for Danny to follow him. Danny obeyed, and followed Vlad into the mansion.
Back in the Fenton house, everyone was worried for Danny, and they had no clue where Jet went. Jazz went downstairs into the lab to search for clues to where Jet disappeared to.

"Hey! Look! The Specter Speeder's gone and the portal's open!" exclaimed Jazz loudly. Everyone came running. Tucker said, "And this means…?" Sam looked at him, incredulous. "Do you really not know?"

"No," said Tucker. Sam sighed. "It means that Jet must've gone into the Ghost Zone!" she said to Tucker, a bit impatiently.

"Oh… I see!" exclaimed Tucker.

Sam shook her head. "Okay, so now what do we do? Go in after him?"

"That's a great idea!" exclaimed Jack.

"Yes, we can use the new invention, the Fenton Flyer! It's even more advanced than the Specter Speeder, and still includes a cup holder!" said Maddie excitedly.

Okay, sure, why not? Maybe he knows why Vlad took Danny," said Jazz reasonably.

"Then it's settled! We're going in! Everybody, into the Fenton Flyer!" said Maddie, as they squeezed into the much larger vehicle that would take them into the Ghost Zone.

At the mansion in Minnesota, Danny looked around and followed Vlad into a large room with animal pelts everywhere. Does he have dead animals everywhere? Danny thought, remembering back to the chalet in Colorado. But then Vlad motioned him out of the room and into a much smaller, duller room.

"This is where we will be training, and where I… experiment," said Vlad, smiling. Danny gulped.

"Ready, son?" asked Vlad, closing the metal door through which they came with a key pad on the wall, hiding what he punched in so Danny couldn't see.

"I guess…" gulped Danny again, getting more scared by the second. Vlad pushed another button on the wall, and an obstacle course appeared. "Let's see what you can do…" he said, with a smile.

There you go! Hope you enjoyed it! Oh yeah, aren't I evil? I'm dragging out what Jet's parents were going to tell him until the next chapter! Muahaha! Review please!
