Chapter 3: An Explanation

When Danny and Sam finally got home, they both bolted inside the house and headed down to lab, figuring that's where Danny's parents were. They stopped dead in they're tracks when they saw Hannah and Ben Gaping at them in a look of pure shock, while Jack and Maddie were sort of just huddling in the corner.

The minute they came in, Hannah and Ben's head shot up and what they saw amazed them.

"Mom?" Ben said shocked.

"Dad?" Said Hannah, equally as shocked, if not more.

"Danny and Sam Fenton?" Said Hannah, trying to make sense of the situation before pursuing it further.

"Um, no. Danny Fenton," said Sam, quite confused, "and Sam Manson."

"WHAT?" Hannah and Ben yelled at the same time.

"Whoa, hey, calm down, calm down, now please tell me who you are." Danny said, confused, but trying to calm everyone down.

"Ben, they aren't even married yet!" Hannah tried (unsuccessfully) to whisper so Danny and Sam couldn't hear.

"I'm sorry…WHAT? Who isn't even married yet? Who are you?" Sam said, determined to get some answers and soon.

"They say their names are Hannah and Ben Fenton, but they aren't our kids or Danny's cousins and there are no other Fenton's in Amity." Said Maddie, who finally cam out of her corner.

"So then who are you?" asked a curious and determined Danny.

"Like Grandma-I mean, Mrs. Fenton- said, I'm Ben Fenton and this is Hannah Fenton, my sister."

"Hold up! Did you just call my mom grandma?" yelped Danny.

Hannah and Ben looked at each other as if secretly deciding something and then Hannah turned to everyone and said, "Okay, have a seat, grab some popcorn, this is going to be a long story."

Danny, Sam, Jack, and Maddie took as seat in front of Hannah and Ben.

Hannah started:

"Okay, first of all, we're from the future…to be exact about…12 years into the future. We're your kids." She pointed to Danny and Sam.

Danny and Sam's jaws dropped, as well as, Jack and Maddie's.

"You're not serious! Prove it." Said Danny, who was becoming slightly suspious.

"Um, okay, ask us something." Said Ben, ready to prove himself.

"What's my biggest secret?" Danny challenged.

"Um, okay, have you told grandma and grandpa yet?" Hannah asked.

"No." Danny and Sam both replied at the same time.

"Then, grandma, grandpa, you guys have to leave the room for a second," said Ben as he escorted them from the lab, "no worries, Hannah, I'll keep them busy."

"Great, thanks Ben, I guess you're good for something after all."

All Ben could think to do was the most immature thing for a guy his age. He stuck out his tongue.

Hannah turned back to a very suspicious Danny and Sam once Maddie and Jack had left the room and said, "When you were 14, you parents, my future grandparents built the Fenton portal which connects our world to the ghost zone, but when it didn't work you went in and pressed the 'on' button and got transformed into who you are today…Danny Phantom, or as I prefer to call you in my time…Dad."

"How…how did you know all that?" Danny stammered.

"Easy, you and Mom- I mean- Sam used to tell me and Ben stories like that all the time when we were little…my personal favorites were the ones about that ghost, Ember and the fake-out make-out…oh and the one about the dance. You guys always used to say those were you're favorites to, Dad liked the dance and Mom liked the fake-out make-out, and both of you went nuts over the 'Ember incident' that was so cute!" She gushed.

"Holy crap."

It was all Danny and Sam could think to say…well that and blush. Hard.
