Danny Phantom Challenge


6 Breaking Away


Tears of joy streamed down Jack and Maddie Fenton's faces, as well as tears of sadness.


They waved merrily goodbye to their 18 year-old son who just proudly graduated from Casper High.


Daniel Fenton finished packing his belongings into his van and shut the door. He had decided to go to go to Wisconsin University in Madison. His parents didn't understand why he didn't want to go to a college a little closer to home, or the same one as Samantha and Tucker were going to. Truth be told, Danny didn't understand either.


Danny smiled, and walked up to his parents for one last hug. He would have liked for his sister, Jazmine to be here saying goodbye, but at the moment she was at Amity University, downtown.


As the hugs ended, Maddie wiped her tears away as she held Danny's hands.


"Oh sweetie, we are so proud of you! They'll be many possibilities for you in Wisconsin. We'll miss you so much!"


Daniel smiled warmly at his mother, and squeezed her hands in a reassuring way.


"I'll miss you too, mom. I'll be fine."


Jack blinked away his tears and grinned happily.


"Of course you'll be fine! You're a Fenton after all! But just in case…"


The 18 year-old boy chuckled. "I know, I know dad. The Fenton Anti-Creep Stick is in my trunk, and the Fenton Spectral Spray is in my glove compartment."


Mr. Fenton smiled proudly. "That's my boy!"


Maddie kissed Daniel on his forehead, and he smiled again before breaking away from his mother's grasp.


New tears started to fall again, and she hugged her husbands shoulder for support as she watched Danny walk down the driveway and opened the door to his car. Jack's eyes lit up, and shouted at Danny.


"Hey Danny! When you get there, don't forget to say hi to V-man for us!"


"I won't dad!" Danny shouted back as he shut his door and started up the car's engine.


Mrs. Fenton leaned on Mr. Fenton's shoulder as they resumed waving goodbye, watching their son pull out of their driveway, and started down the road.


Maddie looked up at Jack smiling, with tears of happiness glimmering in her violet eyes.


"Our boy isn't so little anymore Jack, he's grown up."


Jack returned her smiled and hugged her closer.



"That he has Maddie, that he has….but still, It's so hard to let them go."
