Dan opened up his eyes. He was leaning against the wall of his bathroom. What am I doing here? He stood up and walked outside of the bathroom. Sun was shining through the windows. He walked into his room and looked inside the mirror. His eyes were bloodshot and he was wearing his good clothes. In that moment the events of the previous night came back to him.

Sam. Why? Why did you have to come here? I ran away from my problems… like a coward and you…you come here and destroy my other happy life I have. I was glad to be away from Amity Park. I started a new life. No more Danny Fenton. Now it's Dan Park. I loved it when I wasn't called a loser. I was popular in my new school. Every day I went home to a little house my fake parents bought and slept. I stole food and clothing… every day I thought of you and everyone else. I was angry. You people had made me run away and now you've come back to haunt me. I'm dead. Nobody knows I'm alive.

He changed his clothes and walked out on the balcony, the cool summer's breeze whipping his face. He took a deep breath. So many thoughts were racing through his head, so many ideas. His mind fell on one. A brilliant but moronic idea.

Tonight.

Dan walked back inside. His thought's trailing on that one idea. Dan walked out of his room and went out of his apartment. He strolled past Sam's door when he stopped. He inched towards it. He could hear her crying. Dan went to knock when he heard her talk.

"Why? Why did you have to-to g-go Danny? I—I loved you. Why did you have to disappear? What if you're dead? I—I could n-never for-forgive myself if you d-did d-d-d-die. Please D—Dann—Danny c-c-c-come back. Tucker is waiting. I'm still waiting." Then she broke into more sobs. Dan looked down.

I can't believe this. I thought running away would make everybody happy. But instead… I destroyed their lives as well. Screw tonight I'm going now.

Dan went ghost and flew out of the window.

Later, when the day was becoming night, Dan arrived in the place.

Dan was in Amity Park.

He went invisible and landed on the ground turning back to normal. Amity Park looked the exact same since he had left. He walked towards Tucker's house, glancing at everything as he walked past. So many memories. He arrived and looked at it. He froze. Tucker was looking out of the window. His head was leaning in the palm of his hand. Tucker looked almost the exact same but older and more tired. Dan couldn't move.

"Tucker." Dan whispered.

Tucker looked down at Dan.

"What are you looking at?" Tucker said. His voice sounded almost the same, but slightly deeper.

Dan tried to say 'nothing' but he just breathed faster. He took a step back but tripped.

"Ow!" Dan said as he fell on his butt. Tucker looked at him suspiciously. Dan scrambled up and started to run away.

"Wait!" Tucker yelled.

Dan kept on running. IDIOT! You acted so suspicious it's a wonder if he doesn't already know it's you.

Dan ran behind a dumpster and went ghost. The only way he could do this if nobody could see him. He turned invisible and flew out from behind the dumpster. He flew over to his old house and stopped. He gasped.

All the machines on top were busted, rusted and broken. He flew down through the front door. Inside was dark and musty. Dan flipped on a light. The kitchen was looking the same but it had a weird feeling hanging around inside it. Dan flew upstairs in Jazz's room. He figured she was away.

He never expected her to be laying down on the bed gazing up at the ceiling. This was Jazz. She was the one person who was always by his side, even though he never knew it. She was the only one who loved him. Dan accidentally went visible right above her. He realized it and went back invisible.

Jazz saw. She sat bolt upright and looked around.

"Danny?" She waited and sighed. "No! I'm not going crazy again! If I even show one sign of craziness I have to go back to the institution. They won't let me go."

Dan frowned, "Of course your not crazy, Jazz. I'm really here," He whispered.

Jazz then placed her head down on her pillow. She seemed more peaceful… in a way.

Dan flew out of the room and went into his parent's room. They were sleeping on their bed. They looked old and weary. Dan felt a rush of sadness creep over him. He felt he had to do something. He came up with another idea. He flew into his room. Everything looked sort of the same as when he left it except there was a broken window and it looked a bit cleaner. Dan opened up the drawer where he had his paper and pens. He took out a sheet and started to write a note. But what do I write?

Dear Mom, Dad and Jazz,

Please don't worry about me. Be happy. I am fine and I am alive. I want you guy's to be happy too. I would come back, I really would but I can't. If I do I don't know what would happen.

I feel like I need to tell you something.

You have to promise not to tell anybody.

About 10 years ago, that ghost, 'Inviso-Bill', well his real name was Danny Phantom. And Danny Phantom's real name was Danny Fenton.

I was the half-ghost. That's why I seemed so different. All I was doing was fighting the ghosts and protecting the town.

I ran away because everybody seemed to hate me. But after a while, 10 years in that matter, I learned the truth.

And for that I am very sorry.

If you don't believe me ask Tucker or Sam. They would know that it really is me writing this letter. I just know that they would.

I want to tell you that you are not crazy and it's really me.

You might see me again but I look different than I did.

I love you,

Danny

Dan paused. He read his letter over and nodded. It's all right. Dan flew out of his house. He placed the letter on the doorstep and ringed the doorbell. He went invisible and saw Jazz answer the door.

"Hello?" She asked. Jazz shook her head and looked down. She picked up the letter and read it before screaming. "MOM! DAD! COME QUICK!"

After a second their parents arrived in their pajamas. Jazz handed them the note and they read it.

Good they found the note. Dan flew away and transformed back to normal behind a dumpster. He was going to walk around Amity Park…. once again.


"He was a ghost?" His father said.

"Wait a second? This means Danny was here a minute ago! We have to find Tucker! He can approve of this note!" His mother said. She went to run away when Tucker came up, breathing fast.

"Mr.…. and Mrs.…. Fen…ton." He gasped. "I saw someone who looked like Danny! Well sort of, but he acted like it and… I'm not sure it's him."

"Is this from him?" Jazz said thrusting the letter at Tucker. He read it and gasped.

"It's from Danny. I'm sure!"

The four ran out of the door going out to look for Danny.

Dan sighed as he walked on the sidewalks of the place he ran away from. He looked at the building. The sign read Casper High. Dan walked up to it and opened up the door. Somebody must still be here, if the door is still unlocked. Dan walked inside and went up and down the hallways. He smiled. It was the exact same. He went to his old locker and stopped. There was a sign on the locker that said.

Danny Fenton's Locker

Do Not Touch

That's really weird. Dan twisted the combination lock and opened it up. Inside were the books he left behind and pictures. He reached out for one with him Tucker and Sam.

"What do you think you aredoing?" said an all-to-familiar voice. Dan's eyes opened up wide and he pulled out his hand and shut the locker. His head turned slowly to see a very old Mr. Lancer. It's amazing how much older people look in only 10 years.

"Uh…I was…I… uh…well… um…nothing," Dan stammered. He couldn't come up with a good excuse. He turned on his heel and walked away fast. He went ghost once nobody was around and flew out of the school. He stopped and looked back. Dan turned around and saw four people running at him. He squinted and his stomach flew up to his throat. His family was running towards him.

Man some idea I had! I come here to check things out and I just make everything worse. Dan looked at them again and flew up. I'm never coming back here again! Dan flew back to his place.


A/N: Yeah, Yeah, It was sort of a weird chapter. Not much of a cliffie but close enough. Well Review! Flames are accepted along with those comments
