Danny!" Jack said.
Danny turned to find both his parents approaching with stern expressions.
"Young man?" Maddie said.
"I...I'm sorry. Gah!" Jack crushed Danny in a bear hug.
"We're very proud of you, son." Jack said.
As soon as Jack let him go, Maddie flung her arms around him.
"Oh! Oh, my baby boy!" Maddie Kissed his cheek.
Danny was nonplussed. "But I lied to you. Over and over for a really long time. If I were you guys, I'd be furious."
"Well, of course you lied to us. We never gave you a reason not to." Maddie laughed.
"All this time we've been yammering on destroying and dissecting ghosts." Danny put a hand on Danny's shoulder. "I'd have been terrified too, if I were you."
"We love you, sweetie. You." Maddie said.
"Whether you're ghost, boy, or something in between." Maddie confirmed.
"And I appreciate that." Danny hugged Jack. "More than you guys will ever know." Maddie hugged both of them, then Danny pulled back, looking at the Gauntlet. "Or will ever remember."
He raised the Gauntlet and there was a flash of blue light, leaving sparks around Jack and Maddie. They looked momentarily confused.

Later at the Guys in White headquarters. Agents K and O were sitting across from each other at a table, working on laptops. A siren went off and they both stood, looking around in alarm. A screen flashed.
"What is it?" Agent K said.
"A massive spike in ecto-energy." Agent O said.
They looked up and saw Danny Phantom, hovering above them wearing the Reality Gauntlet.
"That would be me." Danny said.
The agents pulled out their ecto-weapons and started to charge up.
"Ah-ah-ahh..." Danny shook his head.
He raiseed the Gauntlet, turning their guns into a tuba and a chicken.
"Here," Danny held up the Fenton Thermos. "a gift."
He tossed it down to them. It clattered to the floor and shatters, releasing Ghost!Freakshow. Danny used the Gauntlet to change him back into his human form. Immediately Agents K and O seized him. Danny started to leave, then paused.
"Oh, and from now on," Danny spoke sternly. "you're gonna leave Danny Fenton and his family alone."
"Why would we do that?" Agent K asked.
Agent K raised the Gauntlet, which glowed blue. "Because he's not the ghost you're looking for."
Agents O and K repeated mechanically. "He's not the ghost we're looking for."
Grinning, Danny went invisible and flew through the ceiling.
