Hey everyone! I'd like to say thank you to all who reviewed. I truly appreciate it. Anyway, here's chappie number 8!
Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom. The wonderful Butch Hartman does. If I did, I would be flying with Danny right about now.
Danny Explains It All
Danny removed his hand and the rest of Danny's family looked at him with astonished looks on their faces
Danny stared back at them with a look of confusion.
"What? Did I do something wrong?" Danny said sitting up as straight as he could.
"You just touched her forehead and began to talk. You looked like you were connected to Kalyn's mind and another's. It freaked me out…" said Jazz carefully trying not to expose Danny's secret.
"Danny, is there something you'd like to tell us? Something? Anything at all?" Maddie said just like a mother would.
"Does this involve GHOSTS!" Jack said rather strongly, making Danny a little nervous.
Danny kept quiet a short while longer and glanced at Jazz. She flashed a reassuring smile which made Danny feel better.
"Actually, there is something I've been meaning to tell you ever since high school started…" Danny said knowing that he would expose himself to be Danny Phantom and there was gonna be an EXTREMELY long Q&A session afterwards. Danny led his family to the basement and set up some chairs. Danny turned to his family who were silently sitting on the chairs.
"What I'm going to show you may shock you, but I think you can handle it. And Dad? Danny said directing his attention to Jack.
"Huh?" he muttered.
"I especially want you to NOT freak out or scream or run around like there's an elephant after you. Ok?" Danny said.
"Fine," Jack said firmly.
"Ok, here I go," Danny said and then closed his eyes. Danny muttered "Going ghost" under his breath so that it would be less of a hassle to explain and keep Jack grounded. He quickly turned into Danny Phantom and his family stood up and stared at him.
"What?" Danny said, floating 3 inches off the ground. Jazz wasn't at all surprised.
"Uh, Jazz, why aren't you surprised? I just revealed a secret I've been keeping since high school started…" Danny said directing his attention to Jazz.
"Well, I've known about your secret ever since Spectra came to our school for the first time… I've been meaning to tell you, but I'd thought you'd never talk to me again," Jazz said.
"WHAT! You knew?" said Danny, Jack, and Maddie. Soon to be followed by, "Why didn't you tell us?" said Maddie.
"I was afraid you'd use Danny in an experiment…" Jazz said.
"How? Where?" Danny said.
"When you said something about taking your friends, I followed you to the alley behind the Nasty Burger, and I saw you," Jazz said.
Jack and Maddie began to inspect Danny, head to toe. Danny went invisible. Maddie and Jack were amazed. Danny turned intangible and held Maddie. She felt as light and free as air, and Danny phased through the ceiling and back down again and let go of her.
"I'm really proud of you, for saving the town on a regular basis, and this would explain why you haven't been doing well in school lately. Danny, you really need to get your priorities straight," Maddie said.
"But more importantly, how did you become half ghost?" Jazz said.
"Well, it all started when you finished the Ghost Portal. Sam and Tucker were over and coaxing me to go in and check it out. Sam handed me one of the suits and I put it on. Thankfully, Sam ripped off the picture of Dad and replaced it with this insignia. It's kinda like my emblem. I went in and accidentally pushed the "on" button, and I was fused with ectoplasm. It hurt like being in a spiked coffin, all those needles poking into you all at once. I definitely do not recommend it. I woke up, ran to a mirror, and screamed. Then I started phasing through the floor and went invisible, and I thought of becoming my human side and I did. And it's all history from there." Danny explained.
"Wow," said Jack, Maddie, and Jazz. Danny's hand glowed neon green.
"This is a ghost ray. I use it to defeat other ghosts." Danny said shooting it at a cardboard box, and the box exploded revealing the Box Ghost.
"I am the BOX GHOST! Tremble before my cardboard vengeance! BEWARE!" the ghost shouted.
"That's the Box Ghost. Completely harmless. Has an unusual interest in cardboard boxes." Danny said. "I'll be back in a second."
Danny shot a ghost ray at the pathetic ghost, and confined him within the Fenton Thermos without so much as a struggle.
"So, any questions?" Danny said.
"Yeah, do you use your powers for evil sometimes? Like when you held the mayor captive?" Maddie said questioningly.
"Absolutely not! That was set up by a ghost named Walker. He's likes to see himself as the sheriff of the Ghost Zone," Danny explained. "And Kalyn, up there, is also a halfa. Halfa is the technical term for a half-ghost, half-human hybrid, and Walker is after her for a crime she didn't commit. That's why I started talking like I was talking to another person. Kalyn was talking to Beloved Water, her ghost side."
"So, when the Fenton Ghost Finder said Danny was a ghost, I guess it was true," Maddie said.
"Yeah," Danny said reverting back to human mode. Danny was hugged by his family. Jack almost crushed them. They released Danny and returned upstairs. Kalyn was starting to wake up and Danny was beside her.
"Did you get enough sleep?" Maddie said.
"Yeah, I'm a bit hungry. Do you have anything I could eat?" Kalyn asked politely.
"Of course, dear. You can stay here as long as you need to." Maddie said.
"Thank you sooo much," Kalyn said. "Did I miss anything?"
"Well, I told my secret to my family and I also told yours… I hope you aren't mad…" Danny said touching her forehead. "Your fever is broken."
"Danny, I could never be mad at you." Kalyn said sitting up. Maddie came in with a platter of food.
"Here you go," Maddie said setting it on the coffee table. Then the door bell rang…
