"Danny?" Kurai said.
Danny's eyes opened. The first thing he saw was Kurai.
"Danny?" Kurai repeated, worried.
His eyes opened fully.
"Huh, huh...what?" Danny muttered.
Danny looked around. He was in his room, on his bed. Standing around him were his family, Kurai and Tuck. Vlad came out from behind Mr. Gray. Danny was in human form.
"You gave us quite a scare there, little badger." Vlad said.
"Vladdie said he'd found you and your little friend just outside the dump after the town flickered back to reality. He saved your life." Jack said.
"Things might have been weird there for a while, but if Vlad saved your life then I say, 'bygones'." Maddie said.
"And you will always be welcome in our home, V-man. You can stay in Danny's room!" Jack grinned.
Vlad walked over.
"Too bad you lost your Ecto-suit, Jack." Vlad lied through his teeth.
"That's okay, V-man. Those pants made me look fat." Jack chuckled.
Danny tried to get up, which caused him intense pain. Kurai pushed him back down again. She smiled. He smiled a dazed smile back.

On the Fenton's large TV screen, Another Tiffany Snow broadcast was on.
"Well, the worst ghost crisis in the history of Amity Park is over." Tiffany said. The screen showed people cleaning up Skeleton Army bones on the street. "Cleanup continues—And a sense of normalcy has returned. And while we may never know exactly what happened-"
The screen showed the Box Store.
The owner of the store looked upset.
"Where's my bubble wrap?"
The screen switched the the Casper High Football Field as Tiffany spoke in the background.
"One thing's for sure. Inviso-Bill-" Dash, who was with the students, gave a thumbs-up. A picture of Danny's ghost form was flashed onscreen. "Or should I say, 'Danny Phantom'-" Danny's pic disappeared, and it was replaced by a pie chart. It showed 'Pro, 64%, Con, 36%. "Has gone from villain to hero in the eyes of many in our town!"

Danny walked up to Dash, unafraid.
"You've got a lotta nerve just walkin' up to me in broad daylight, Fenton!:" Dash said.
"Actually, I wanted to say... I was sorry. I pulled some pranks on you, and-" Dash looked kinda surprised. "Well, with all the weirdness in the last few days...I'm sorta thinkin' that just because I can do something doesn't mean I...should."
Danny held out his hand. "So... Apology accepted?"
Dash smiled evilly.
At the Nasty Burger. Dash was leaning against the door.
"Apology accepted." Dash said.
His 'acceptance of apology' was hanging Danny by his underwear from the flagpole. His underwear tore and he fell, only to be rescued by Khione.
"We need to talk." She said.

Inside the Nasty Burger, Kurai, Danny, and Tucker sat together.
"Dude, you have to let it go." Tucker said.
"I can't! What was that all about?" Danny said. "The ghosts are all off rebuilding their homes, but the Ecto-Skeleton is gone! And what about Vlad? Did he make some sort of pact with the Fright Knight? I-I-I-"
Kurai put her hand over his mouth.
"Danny, you beat the big bad guy, and you saved the town. That's enough for one day, dontcha think?" Kurai said. "Now it's time for me to keep my promise."
"What are you talking about?" Danny was confused.
"I promised to turn you back to a human after all this was over." Kurai reminded him.
Danny looked from Kurai to Tucker. "No."
"No?" Tucker and Kurai chorused.
"There are other ghosts out there. A lot of them." Danny said. "And there's Vlad too, he threatens my family even without being a ghost. The world needs Danny Phantom."
Kurai beamed at him, proud of his decision.
"As for you," Danny said, turning to her. "I think it's about time you come clean with us."
"He's right. Crisis averted, now you gotta tell us everything." Tucker said.
Kurai nodded and touched her watch pendant.
"The time has come for me to reveal everything."
