His parents, obviously shocked, slowly walked over to him. His mother sat down next to him, and hesitantly put her hand down on his shoulder. She looked down at her boy, half asleep on his bed. He looked no different than he ever did, except now he seemed to have developed some muscle.
"Danny," she said quietly, "why didn't you tell us about this before?"
"You two are the leading scientists in paranormal investigation, and I guess…I guess I was worried you would treat me like a freak and try to run tests on me." he said back, while pulling some blankets over himself.
"Nonsense, Danny." his father said to him, as hequickly put something that said "Fenton Ghost Probe" on it back into his pocket.
"Well, at least there's a bright side to this." Danny said.
"What's that?" Jazz asked, speaking for the very first time.
"Mom and dad can be sure their inventions work now." Danny answered sarcastically.
Silence fell upon the room for a moment. Most of them thought the joke was funny, but the mood seemed much too somber to laugh.
"I think we should leave Danny alone now, he looks like he needs some rest." Maddie said. "We also need to go deal with those reporters snooping around outside our house."
"What are you going to say to them?" Sam asked. The concern for Danny was obvious in her voice.
"We're going to say that our son is resting, and that we're very proud of all he's done protecting this town. Nothing more." his mother said, as she turned out the lights.
Sam was the last one in the room. She walked over to the side of Danny's bed, where he had already fallen asleep. She stared down at him, and leaned in very close. Her lips almost met his cheek when…
"Sam!" Jazz called from downstairs, "Your parents just called, they want you to come home. The sound a little annoyed." she added.
She pulled away quickly, worried that Danny might wake up. She mumbled under her breath something about her parents as she walked out of his bedroom, but not before glancing back at Danny, sound asleep.
The Next Day
Danny awoke to his alarm clock going off. Everything seemed normal. Danny knew that it wasn't, of course. He knew that he would have to deal with a lot of people today. His teachers and the kids at school would be treating him really differently. He just hoped that the reaction was more positive than negative.
He made his way downstairs, where the rest of his family was already eating breakfast. Laying on the table was a slew of new inventions that his father was eager to show off.
"Sleep well, Danny?" his father asked him as he sat down.
"Yeah, pretty deeply too, I guess. The alarm had been going off for 5 minutes before I woke up, according to the clock." he responded
"After what happened to you yesterday, I'm not surprised." Jazz said to him.
Jack had a news paper tucked under his arm. The headline read "Ghost Boy Exposed!" and it had a large picture of Danny Phantom being hit by whatever Desiree shot him with. Danny got up from the table without touching his breakfast. He was too nervous to eat. He just flew out of his house, towards school, and remained invisible until he touched down in front of Casper High.
