Chapter 9: A Devastating Secret and a Weird Concussion

Danny stared at Mac the whole way to Fosters. He was shocked to hear the nine words "You have to set me brother and mother free". He never thought Mac would say that.

"Mac, I have to ask you just out of curiosity, why do you want me to set your family free?" Danny asked Mac. Mac just sighed.

"My family's in jail?" A voice asked. It was Mac's father, Lancelot Kazoo. "Oh yeah, I remember. You put them in prison to save my son."

"Oh, hi, Mr. Kazoo." Danny answered. "How're you?"

"I'm fine. How's Mac?"

"He's doing okay. Say, did you catch him on television?"

"Yeah! He was amazing."

"I know. Listen, meet me here tomorrow at 6 pm. I have to talk to everyone, including Mac." Danny flew into the house, and Mr. Kazoo went home.

The next morning, the house was full of Christmas spirit. Even Mac was full of spirit. He was still sick, but he wouldn't let that stop him.

"Hey Bloo, what do you want to do, today?" Mac asked Bloo as he came from the diner.

"I don't know." Bloo said as he yawned.

"Bloo, are you feeling okay? You look tired."

"I may be catching your cold."

"Uh, Bloo, I never had a cold. Maybe you're just getting one."

"Oh. Well, let's watch a movie. The others are in the T.V. room, already."

"Cool!"

Later, everyone gathered by the fire by Danny's invite.

"Alright, guys. Do any of you know why I called you here tonight?" He asked with a worried look on his face. Everyone just gave him a Why-don't-you-tell-us-why-we're-here look.

"Okay. It's a long story. Listen, Mac hasn't had the best life without his parents, so he wants me to set them free. But I'm worried…"

"I never said that!" Mac said.

"What. Wait, you do look different from when I saved you. Uh oh, he's back!" Danny yelped as his ghost sense went off. He didn't see anything, but he knew a ghost was around, and he had a hunch who it was. It didn't take long to figure it out once he was flow back into a wall.

"I should've guessed it was you. I always liked to manipulate other people."

"You have got to be kidding me." Mac said.

"You got me, Danny! Ha ha ha ha!" The voice said.

"I don't believe it." Wilt said. "It's…it's…"

"MY FUTURE SELF!" Danny shouted. "He's back!"

"You bet I am!" He shouted. "Now, I'm back to finish what I started. So prepare for the ultimate battle…ARGH!" Future Danny didn't get a chance to attack Mac because he was sucked within the Fenton Thermos.

"I always keep it with me." Danny said. "Now, let's go have some fun!"

"What are we going to do?" Bloo said, coughing.

"You're going up to bed. Mac, you join him. I don't want you 2 to be sick for the holidays."

"Okay. I'm tired anyway." Mac said. "But I'm too tired to move…" Mac collapsed on the couch and fell asleep. Wilt took Bloo upstairs. Danny went outside to think for a moment.

Frankie joined him. He'd never seen Danny this concerned.

"Hey, buddy, what's going on?" She asked.

"I don't know." He replied. "Mac told me he wants me to free his family. But I don't know if I should. After all, Terrence did torture him. I shouldn't."

"Well, maybe he has a reason for wanting this…"

"But wait, there's more. Then at the meeting, he said he didn't say that. Something's up with Mac, and I have to figure it out." Danny stood up and transformed into Danny Phantom. He had a fierce look in his eye as he flew off to the state prison. He took Mac with him. But they didn't get too far.

Mac kept poking Danny. But Danny knew. He threw Mac to the ground.

"Hey, why'd you do that?" Mac asked.

"I don't know, maybe because you're not my friend! That's right, show yourself, Walker!" Indeed, Walker flew out of Mac's body.

"I'm back, baby!" He shouted. "Now, to finish the job. Get him!" He pointed at Mac. Youngblood and Skulker appeared out of nowhere and charged at Mac.

"Oh no you don't!" Danny yelled as he pulled out the Specter Deflector and the Fenton Fisher. The Specter Deflector, he used on Skulker. The Fenton Fisher was used on Youngblood. They both fell to the ground.

"Oh, great! Now I have to do this myself. This isn't over, ghost boy!" Walker shouted as he flew off.

Danny flew to his house to check on Mac.

Mac was sleeping on the couch. While Jack and Mattie were making hotdogs.

"Okay, I think I've seen enough." Danny said. He picked up Mac and took him to Fosters.

Meanwhile, back at Fosters, Bloo was as sick as a dog. He couldn't get out of bed.

"Bloo, do you need anything else?" Wilt asked.

"No." Bloo said. Wilt left the room.

Mac woke up to find himself in a bed at Fosters. Maybe I was brought here by Danny. He thought. He never imagined he would do that.

"Finally! You've been asleep for hours!" Frankie said.

"Thanks, I guess. Um, who are you?" Mac asked.

"You don't remember anything?"

"Uh, yeah. I remember my friend, Dopey Farkfoot."

"What did you just call me!" Danny called as he entered the room. "Are you positive that you don't remember anything?"

"I'm just kidding, sort of. Your name's Franny, right?" He asked pointing at Frankie.

"Uh, it's Frankie."

"Okay. I'm going to have some brunch."

"It's 6 p.m."

"And?"

Danny and Frankie looked at Mac like he was stupid. He could barely remember anything. But thankfully, they knew exactly what to do.

"Danny…what the heck do we do?"

"You're asking me?" Danny screeched. "You're the adult."

"You're the smart one."

"Right, and you're the dumb one."

"Okay…that wasn't funny." The two of them picked up Mac and carried him to the lobby. Well, at least Frankie could. Mac was too heavy for Danny.

"Jeez, how much sugar does this kid have?" He asked under the weight of Mac.

"He can't have sugar." Frankie replied. That stumped Danny.

"Impossible, my ghost powers give me enhanced muscle strength. Mac's weight is only 76 pounds. How's that possible?" Danny felt Mac's legs. "Oh come on! He has weights in them!"

"Man, that kid hates being carried around."

Back in Mr. Herriman's office, Mr. Herriman was typing.

"What are you doing?" Danny asked walking into the room.

"Ah, Master Daniel, I'm typing a schedule." He answered.

"Oh. Why?"

"Well, the show went off so well, that I decided to plan a trip to Adventure Land."

Danny paused for a second.

"ADVENTURE LAND!" He finally shouted after a moment of silence. "This is great! I can't wait to tell the others!"

"Wait, Master Daniel, don't go yet. I need your help. I'm trying to decide what to do."

"Hey, I can help. They added 6 new rides, so maybe we can squeeze it in?"

"Hmm, I'm open for suggestions ."

Three hours later

"Wow! Are you serious?" Wilt asked. "We're going to Adventure Land?"

"Yeah!" Danny replied jumping into the air.

"Hey, guys, what's all the commotion?" Mac asked, walking into the T.V. room rubbing his eyes.

"We're going to Adventure Land!" Bloo shouted. "Apparently, the show was so great, Mr. Herriman is rewarding us."

"Really?"

"Duh!"

"It's been my dream to go to Adventure Land to see the annual Christmas Land Spectacular!" Danny said.

"I know!" Mac said. "This is going to be great, uh, who are you again?"

"Wilt."

"Right, Walk."

"Oh great. Not again!" Danny said. "He's getting a concussion again."

"Whoopee doo, I dig you!" A voice shouted.

"Please don't tell me." Mac pleaded. "It can't be. They went back to the cul-de-sac."

"I know. Anyway, here's the latest schedule for our trip. We're going to be there overnight, so pack now. Our departure is set for, December 18. Oh no, I'm turning into Mr. Herriman."

"Yeah. All you need is the ears." Bloo remarked.

"Shut up, Bloo!" Danny said. "Okay, it's December 15, you have 3 days to pack. Make sure you're packed by then. It costs $25 to get in. Try and contribute as much cash as possible by then, okay?"

Everyone gave him a thumbs up and went upstairs to start their packing.

To be continued.
