Jack's wish Chapter 1, a danny phantom fanfic

Disclaimer- I don't own Danny Phantom or any of the characters in this fic except Mary-Ann. Butch Hartman owns everyone else, m-kay? Full summery: Danny's parents make an interesting discovery and Jack makes a wish that forces Danny to stay in ghost mode until he tells Jack his secret identity. He also made the wish unwishable. Danny struggles about telling his parents, because he doesn't feel like being hunted in his own house. How does he survive school and home without giving away his secret identity? A bit of humor here and there, and plenty of Danny-Sam fluff at the end.

"Danny! You have to check out this new invention! It's so cool! It's the Fenton Ghost Gabber 5000! It's never made a mistake!" Danny winced at this. How often were his parents going to show their inventions to him, even if it seemed he didn't care. He did care, but just because they might give away his secret identity, which he had had for almost a year now, ten months at the least.

"That's good. Mom, Dad, do you mind if I just disappear for a while? I wanna go hang out with my friends." Then he realized he had said he was going to "disappear." Oops!

"That's good. Mom, Dad, do you mind if I just disappear for a while? I wanna go hang out with my friends. Fear me!" Of course, the Ghost Gabber never made a mistake. Jack Fenton frowned at this sudden translation from Danny. He shrugged

"Dang it, it is broken. Go have fun then, what time will you be back?" Danny responded and left the house quickly; he didn't want to be around if his parents started thinking. "I'll be back at 8. Fear me." The Ghost Gabber said. His parents frowned and headed to the lab, not noticing a second figure slip out the door behind Danny.

"Danny, wait up!" A familiar, slightly annoying voice yelled. Danny turned to see his older sister, Jazz, running to catch up with him. He just rolled his eyes, and asked, "What now, Jazz? Came to follow me I assume. Listen, I'm not going to do anything stupid, I just..."

"Just needed to get out of the house? I can see why. Don't worry, Danny. Eventually, they'll figure out what they are saying when these things happen." He smiled a little at this, but the worried look came back to his face. He sat on a bench, and Jazz sat down next to him.

"I think I wanna go for a little fly around town. Do you want to come with me, or pass?" Jazz's eyes lit up at this. The only times she had really been flying before were emergencies, like when Spectra, an evil therapist ghost, was about to fry her. She wondered what it was like to fly for fun. She looked at Danny, smiled, and nodded. Danny smiled back, and ducked into an alleyway. A few seconds later, Jazz could see through herself, and felt an assuring hand on her shoulder.

The fly over town was beautiful. The stores and hotels made the town look like a giant Christmas tree from up here. They had become visible again, and Jazz took a closer look at her brother in ghost mode. His white hair and glowing green eyes really showed up well in this light, and the uniform looked good on him. As she looked at all the little ant-people below her, she wondered what would really happen if her parents knew about this. Seeing Danny looking so free, she couldn't bring herself to talk about it. He was getting really good at flips and barrel turns.

"You could be a one-ghost fair, Danny!" Jazz laughed. He just smiled at his sister. Even if she was annoying, she was the only one in his family that knew his secret, and the only one that he had accidentally been revealed to. He thought about Sam and Tuck. Not only were they there with him and his secret from the start, but he knew that if they hadn't known before, they would've known soon enough, because they were best friends. Plus, before the accident, Danny would never just seemingly randomly run off.

After about half an hour of this wonderful experience, Danny made them invisible and came in for a landing. He hid in a box as he changed back. When he came out, he no longer looked like a super-hero. He just looked like an average 14 year old geek, with a goofy smile and his normal raven-black hair and ice-blue eyes. Before Jazz could thank him again, Danny's cell phone rang.

"Hello, yea Sam, I'm near the Nasty Burger, Jazz is with me, I was feeling a little gravity-bound, so we took a trip, no I'm not nuts, you're the seriously crazed up fruitloop! Umhm, where? Not again, ok, I'll be right there." He put his cell phone back into his pocket. "Just the Box Ghost again, when will he learn to stay out of my life!"

"Uh, but weren't you the one in the box a minute ago?" Danny glared at his sister and ran into the Nasty Burger. He hid in a bathroom stall and did his trademark, "I'm going ghost!" When he got to the school, he rolled his eyes and quickly sucked the Box Ghost back into the Fenton Thermos. Grumbling, he went to go get Jazz again. When he got back to the Nasty Burger, he saw she was chatting with one of her friends, but he walked over to say hello anyway. She was on a slight high from that trip. Danny could see that because she was swaying side to side, and muttering something about Christmas trees and ghosts, which are topics you wouldn't normally here Jasmine Fenton discussing with her friends.

"Eh, hi Danny, did you take that call? Mary-Ann was just looking for me, but she seems a little nervous." Danny nodded at her question and looked over at Mary-Ann, who was shaking a bit from Jazz, who had talked about exactly what "inviso-bill" looked like. Mary-Ann, who had heard of him, but never seen him (at least she thought she hadn't) was smiling and showing the whole deer-in-the-headlights look. Danny frowned a little and dragged Jazz over to a corner.

"What do you think you're doing? Trying to get me half-killed? I've had enough of that for one life, thank you very much! Are you coming home or scaring poor Mary-Ann some more?" His eyes glowed green as he said this. Jazz's eyes grew wide for a second, and nodded quickly. Danny nodded farewell to a confused, but relieved, Mary-Ann and took Jazz outside. Once outside, he hid and went ghost again. They were on their way home. Jazz was loudly muttering about not getting to explain ghosts to Mary-Ann better, but made no attempt to escape. By the time they got home, Jazz was feeling a little better, and was able to contain herself. She sat on the sidewalk, listening in disbelief to the story Danny told her about her mind disappearing for a few minutes.

"Mom, Dad, we're home! Mom? Dad?" The kitchen was empty, so Danny and Jazz went downstairs to see what her their practically blind parents were doing this time. They were sitting there, looking at the Fenton Ghost Gabber 5001, which had a slightly different look to it than the older versions. "Jazz, Danny! See what I did? I made a new Ghost Gabber!" Jack Fenton smiled proudly, while Maddie muttered a little something about not getting any credit, even though she helped. Danny smiled sympathetically, and turned to his Dad.

"Dad, there is something I really need to tell you. It's about me." Danny suddenly had his parents' full attention; even the Gabber repeating him with a "fear me" at the end didn't reach them. Jazz, determined not to let Danny tell just yet, stepped in front of him.

"Danny wants to ask Sam out, but is really nervous. Can you help him?" Danny looked her in the eyes, glowing green to blue. It was a death glare. Jazz gave Danny a "you'll thank me later when we introduce the idea to them slowly." look back. Their parents didn't even notice. They were staring at each other, slight grins on their faces.

"But Danny, we already went over this! Give her the class ring!" Jack whined. Danny rolled his eyes. This was so much like Jazz, getting in his way whenever he tried to share the secret with him. He turned around and stomped out of the lab, not caring if he opened the door or just went through it. His mom thought she saw something weird, but just imagined Danny was mad, and it was her imagination. Just to be sure, she asked Jazz if she had any idea. She shook her head. "But Mom, Dad? Can I chat with you for a moment? It's about your ghost hunting." Her parents looked at each other for a second before nodding.

"Well, what if, theoretically, a person could be half a ghost, and half a human?" Her parents looked at her like she was crazy. "Why, dear? I can't see how it's possible at all." Her mom finally replied. Jazz nodded, she was going to have to argue this case. "Well, what if ectoplasm was somehow fused with regular human cells? Would that do anything?" Jack decided to answer this one. "Ha, that could never happen! Even if it did, how? It's not like there's a machine that can turn people into ghosts, well, except guns and stuff. But it's impossible to be half ghost Jazz." Jazz looked at the portal. Sure, there's no way a person could become half ghost from that, she thought sarcastically. After all, that was how it happened to Danny. She shrugged and left her parents to think about what the heck she might be on, thinking like that. A few minutes after she left the lab, she could hear her parents tripping over stuff to get to the computer they stored ghost information on, like why some people become ghosts and others don't.

"Danny? Where are you! I want to apologize! Ouch, what was that for?" She rubbed her head from the small ectoplasmic blast Danny sent at her from across the room. "You're just as annoying as the Box Ghost sometimes. STAY OUT OF MY LIFE!" Danny yelled and flew up to his room. Other than a few singed hairs and hurt pride, Jazz was ok. She knew her parents were thinking, and that would be good for Danny. At least, she hoped so.
