Okay guys, first, I just want to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews. I also think it is sweet that you print this out for your little sister, FireHedgehog. I'll keep that in mind and try to live up to your expectations.

Second, I want to apologize for the slow update. I have had so much work to do- (college will do that to a person) and between doing research until 2 in the morning, and writing research papers until 7 in the morning, I haven't had much sleep. (I have almost forgotten what the word means.) I also have had some writer's block and haven't really been inspired to continue this. But, I was today, (-staring with blood-shot eyes at the computer screen-) so here is another chapter.

Finally, I am making the plot slow on purpose. You'll see why in later chapters.

Enjoy and let me know what you think! Sayonara until next time!

"I'll go check it out," Danny told his friends. "Make sure they stay down here," he added as he pointed to Timmy and Tootie. Tucker and Sam nodded as they looked at the kids. The girl had an expression of sheer excitement on her face, but Timmy displayed a worried gaze as the teen ran off.

"Can't I come to see what's going on?" he asked.

"Not now," Tucker said. "Jazz probably just came back because she forgot something before. Maybe she knocked something over."

"That's funny," Tootie piped up. "She didn't seem to be the forgetful type."

"How astute," Sam mumbled as she led the children away from the staircase that lead up to the kitchen. Danny, on the other hand, ran halfway up the stairs, then transformed into his ghost self once he was sure he was out of view.

Sam noticed Timmy looking in the direction Danny had gone. "Hey, let's go over here," she suggested and beckoned the children to follow her away. "There is more stuff to see on the other side of the lab." The children complied and followed, while Tootie babbled happily, asking an unending amount of questions about ghosts and everything else she saw.

"Timmy, I'm really worried about Cosmo," Wanda whispered as he walked. Her eyes seemed a bit red and puffy, even though she had the guise of a small watch.

"Relax, Wanda. Danny went to check it out."

"I know, but I just have a funny feeling about something. You get that way when you've been married as long as Cosmo and I have been. That was an awfully loud crash, too."

"Okay, let's go see what happened. I wish I was invisible," the boy whispered even quieter than before. With a poof, his wish was granted, and he headed back to the stairs unseen.

Tootie glanced behind her to make sure that she was still an arm's length away from her 'love,' who had been walking right behind her. "Hey Timmy, where'd you go?" she called aloud when she didn't see him. Tucker and Sam whirled around. "Oh no! He just vanished!" the small girl exclaimed as tiny tears welled up in her eyes. Sam and Tucker exchanged looks of alarm, since they knew there was really a ghost upstairs.

"Tootie, we have to find him! He couldn't have gotten far, but we have to make sure he doesn't go upstairs. It could be really dangerous.

"Why?" the girl asked.

Tucker rolled his eyes. Would this girl ever stop talking or asking questions? "We just don't want anything bad to happen," he replied.

A few moments earlier...(Right after everyone went downstairs)

Skulker phased through the wall of the Fenton's kitchen, his eyes intently focused on the screen of Mr. Crocker's so-called 'fairy detector.' His gaze darted about the room, but he saw nothing unusual as he hovered above the floor. The device started beeping madly again, and the whirring egg-beater antennas were really starting to get on his nerves. "This is ridiculous!" Skulker exclaimed and went to crush the instrument to get it to stop making noise.

The arrow on the screen started blazing at the last minute though, blaring in the direction of the green jacket slung over the back of one of the chairs next to the table. Skulker drifted over, holding the detector closer and closer to the jacket, which made it beep louder and almost start to smoke as the gears inside spun almost out of control as he got closer in proximity. Cosmo had been taking a nap and promptly awoke to a pair of glowing red eyes staring him in the face.

"Hey Jorgen!" the jacket said aloud. "I'm lik'n the new battle suit- it's COO-EL, and makes you look even scarier than you normally do!"

"What?" the surprised hunter yelled as he saw two eyes looking back at him and heard the jacket talk to him. He jumped back slightly, then became enraged. Nobody caught him off guard like that- ever. He eyed the jacket quizzically. "What kind of joke is this?" he inquired. "Are you the Jacket Ghost?"

"...and I like the fiery hair too. It's a good look for you Jorgen..." the fairy continued blathering as if Skulker hadn't said anything.

"QUIET!" Skulker said loudly. "Who are you?"

"Hey, lighten up, Jorgen. I may not be as big or strong as you, but that's no excuse for not even recognizing me. At least I recognized you." The fairy said in an offended attitude.

"Huh?"

"It's me, Cosmo," the jacket said, and then after looking around, he poofed back into his true form when he saw no one else around. "Recognize me now?"

"Whoa, I don't believe it!" Skulker said in amazement as he bent over to investigate this tiny green-haired specimen with wands, wings, and a crown. "You're really a fairy?"

"Well duh, silly Jorgen. Do you have amenes- amnesi- amnesia or something? I'm a fairy, just like you."

"This is wonderful! I didn't think it was possible, but this is a truly rare and unique find. Wait, did you say 'just like you?' And what does 'Jorgen' mean anyway?" Skulker blinked as he had an epiphany. Obviously this creature wasn't very intelligent and took him as someone else. "Right, just like you," he said kindly, not wanting to scare it away.

"WOW! You say I'm rare and unique! Do I feel special! I'll have to tell Wanda that you said that about me!"

"Who?"

"My wife," Cosmo said slowly as if he were talking to a baby. He looked at Skulker, thinking that there was obviously something wrong with his head.

"So there are more of you? This is great! I shall capture you all and be the greatest hunter who ever existed!" He raised his cannon armed with the newly-acquired netting and aimed it at Cosmo floating in the air, who was blissfully unaware of the imminent danger. "Prepare to be caged!" he shouted, but the musical beeping of his PDA instantly caused him to power down.

"NOT AGAIN!" he shouted as Cosmo started dancing to the tune, and mechanical flight wings popped out of his armor which knocked into the pantry door. This caused all kinds of dishes, pots and pans to crash to the floor. "I'll be at the zoo, but I'll be back for you, fairy!" the frustrated ghost said as he flew up and phased out of the room.

"Bye Jorgen! Hope to see you soon too!" Cosmo said happily and changed back into a jacket. No doubt the kids had heard the crash, but he couldn't clean up the mess unless Timmy wished it so. However, no sooner had he returned to his former jacket form, he saw a boy with glowing green eyes, white hair, a black lab suit, and a ghostly aura fly from the basement steps and float around the room. Cosmo gasped and kept quiet, not wanting to draw attention to himself, because the boy seemed almost human. No- he was a ghost.

The glowing young man nervously looked around the room, keeping an eye out for anything strange. He quickly saw the pantry and all the stuff that had fallen out of it. He breathed a sigh of relief, and changed back into his human form.

Cosmo gasped as he saw the two blue rings form and move along the boy's body, changing him back into his human self.

Oh my gosh! It's the kid we met before! He's a ghost? Cosmo thought to himself as the boy called down the stairs that everything was okay. He then promptly started to pick up everything that had fallen and return it to its proper place. He stopped when he felt that now familiar sensation when he walked past the green jacket. Was it looking at him? Did he just see two eyes close? He walked over to it and picked it up for a closer look.

"Nah, it's just a jacket," he said aloud to no one in particular, and put it back down.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh man," Timmy said as he reached the top of the stairs, still invisible. (He had unknowingly just missed the action.) "I guess there aren't any ghosts after all. Some plates just fell out of the pantry."

"Well, that's a relief-" Wanda started but saw Danny eying the jacket. "Uh oh. You have to distract him before Cosmo does something stupid!" she said quietly.

"Okay." Timmy walked around the corner and out of view. He then stated, "I wish I was visible again." It was done as soon as it was said, and Timmy returned to the kitchen.

"Ahh!" Danny jumped as his body instantly went numb again. It had startled him this time. He looked around and expected to see Timmy, and sure enough he did.

"Hey, you okay?" the small boy asked the taller one.

"Yep," Danny said, his eyes shifting from the boy to the jacket and back again as if he was trying to figure something out.

This kid is weird, Timmy thought to himself.

"So what was all the commotion?" Sam asked as she, Tucker, and Tootie emerged from the basement. "Oh my," she said as she noticed the dishes, and the two stated to help Danny pick up everything.

"Timmy!" Tootie shouted. "I thought I'd never see you again! Don't you ever disappear from me again!"

"Uh..." he started.

"She's right, Timmy." Tucker said, looking up as he bent over to pick up some frying pans that had fallen. "You should have stayed with us, even if you were only gone for a moment. While you are here, you're our responsibility, and we were worried about you."

"Sorry, I just wanted to see what was going on. That's all."

"You wouldn't know how this happened, would you?" Danny asked and raised an eye brow.

"No, sorry," The boy said.

"Okay, but since you're so fast at cleaning, why don't you do it again and help us out here," Danny said with a slight smirk. He was going to find out this kid's secret if it was the last thing he did.

"Uh, I kind of had a caffeine rush from the soda I had before," Timmy lied. "It's wearing off now, but I'll help." He didn't want to pressured into talking about his fairy god parents.

"Uh huh," Danny said, a bit disappointed as the boy slowly picked up the remaining plates. "I seem to recall that you had orange juice, not soda, before. I never had a caffeine rush from juice before, and I'd say that's the first time I've ever heard of such a thing."

"I guess I'm a freak of nature," Timmy replied quickly then added, "Well, thanks for the tour, it was interesting, ghosts are cool, and we really should be going now."

"Hey, I want to see more ghost stuff, Timmy!" Tootie whined. "We haven't been here that long."

"Are you forgetting that long walk back to your relatives' house?" Timmy asked, anxious to leave and stop being questioned.

Tootie's eyes seemed to have little hearts appear in place of the pupils as she grabbed Timmy's arm and pulled him out the door with a look of ecstasy on her face. The three remaining teens saw the look of sheer horror on his face as he was pretty much dragged out the door.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah! I finished this part! Woo hoo! (Does a little dance) To those of you who are upset that the secret hasn't "officially" gotten out yet, do you really think Cosmo can keep a secret for long? –hint hint-

Also, I haven't forgotten about "Da Rules" yet, either.

I don't know when I'll get to post another chapter, but I do like to read your opinions of my writing, so please review and tell what you like, don't like, etc. (or don't- I can't make you)

"Until next time, Son." -Vlad
