I know, you guys have waited months for the next update. Sorry about that, I had to wrap up three of my other stories, AND I started writing a brand new Spider-Man fic and got sidetracked with that. But, no more distractions, I'm taking a break on some of my stories so I can focus on this and another story I've been neglecting. Hope this chapter doesn't disappoint.

So last time, Sabrina discovered Danny's secret, now it's Danny's turn to learn Sabrina's.

Chapter 5: Jack's Redemption

Danny begins to open his eyes and sees that he's no longer at the park.

"Wh…Where am I?" he asks himself as he takes a look around.

The halfa then discovers that he is in some kind of bedroom, most likely in someone's house. He sits upright on the bed he was laying on, turns to the side and sees a black cat sitting there and staring at him.

Danny sighs, "I don't suppose you're gonna tell me where I am, huh?"

"We're at your girlfriend's house," says the cat.

Danny yells out in shock and he falls off the bed. He then points at the cat, "Y…YOU JUST TALKED."

"Well thanks for pointing that out Captain Obvious," the cat says as he rolls his eyes. "And from the looks of things, you seem to be feeling a lot better. Remind me never to pick a fight with whoever floored you. You were in pretty bad shape when you first got here."

"Salem," says a female voice.

Danny looks at the doorway and sees two women, one with strawberry blonde hair and glasses and the other with brunette hair, walk in.

"Leave the poor boy alone. He's had a rough enough day as it is without you mocking him."

"Yeah, yeah," Salem says as he hops off the bed and walks out of the room. "If you need me, I'll be watching my shows. Transylvania Five-O will be on in a couple minutes."

The woman wearing glasses looks back at Danny and smiles, "I'm sorry about that, good to see you're finally awake." She then takes out her hand, "Hi, I'm Zelda Spellman, over there is my sister Hilda."

The halfa, still in shock over the talking cat, was still able to shake hands with the woman in front of him, "D…Danny."

"Oh, I know exactly who you are sweetie, you're Jack and Maddie's son. My niece talks about you quite a lot if I say so myself."

"Wait, niece?" Danny asks. Then it all started to make sense. "Spellman, you're Sabrina's aunts."

"Right you are kiddo," Hilda says with a smile.

Finally Sabrina walks into the room. She sees that her friend is okay and she rushes over to hug him.

"Oh thank God you're okay," the platinum blonde says as she hugs him tightly.

Danny finally hugs Sabrina back, "Actually, I'm glad YOU'RE okay. I saw those ghost vultures grab you and take off."

"Yeah, but I managed to escape and ended up at the park. That was when I saw you pass out and brought you here."

Danny nods for a moment and then his eyes widened, "Wait, did you show up when I was already out or…"

Sabrina shakes her head, "I was there when Phantom showed up, then he passed out and changed back into…well, you. It's okay Danny, I know."

The halfa lowers his head and sighs, "I wanted to tell you but…"

The young witch puts a hand on her friend's shoulder and smiles, "Don't sweat it okay? I'm not mad. I know you would've told me eventually."

Danny smiles too.

Zelda decides to cut in, "Luckily your wounds weren't TOO bad. I didn't even have to try so hard with the healing spell either, your ghostly metabolism was able to do most of the work for me."

Danny perks up at what the older woman just said, "Hold on, did you say…healing spell?"

Sabrina looks over at her aunts with a pleading look in her eyes.

The two women smile and nod, giving her their approval.

Sabrina looks back at Danny, "Danny…The real reason I'm not mad at you for not telling me your secret is because…well…I have a secret too. Danny…I'm a witch. Well…a half-witch."

The halfa was now slack jawed, "Like…an actual, for real, hocus pocus witch? They're actually real?"

Sabrina nods.

"So that night when we were doing our group project, when you were asking me how I would feel if witches actually exist…"

Sabrina nods again, "And now I know why you were so eager to know about my overall opinion on Phantom. Though I feel stupid for not figuring it out sooner. I mean, "Danny Fenton", "Danny Phantom"? You couldn't have come up with a better alias?"

Danny just chuckles, "So you say you're a half-witch?"

"My dad's a warlock, and my mom is mortal."

"And the witch council was not very happy seeing those two together, let me tell ya," Zelda chimes in. "They hate when mortals learn about the existence of witches and other supernatural beings."

Danny nods, "Well now I know what Vlad meant about the other ghosts being afraid of you."

"Who's Vlad?" asks Sabrina.

"He's the reason you found me all beaten up. He used to be a friend of my dad's until an accident made him into a half-ghost like me. He's had this vendetta against my dad for years, as well a weird crush on my mom."

"Gross," the young witch cringes.

"Yeah, and what's worse is that he seems to know all about you too, and he is adamant at staying as far away from you as possible."

"That doesn't surprise us," says Hilda. "When it comes to us witches, ghosts don't even dare to try and mess with us. Even the strongest ghost in the world is no match for our magic."

"Of course with half-witches like Sabrina, it's a different story," says Zelda. "They're magic, while still strong, is a tad weaker during the day, it's only during nighttime when their powers are at 100%."

"So Danny," Sabrina cuts in. "How DID you get your ghost powers?"

Danny looks down for a moment and then looks back at his friend, "Remember when we were at my mom and dad's lab and you asked me what would happen if someone activated the ghost portal from the inside? Well, what you see here is the result."

"My God."

"Yeah."

"And what about Sam and Tucker, do they know about this?"

"They were there during the accident."

The young witch nods and then sighs, "I'm gonna have to tell them my secret don't I?"

"It's your decision. I won't force you to do something you're uncomfortable with."

After some silence, Sabrina makes up her mind, "Well, if you trust them, then so do I."

"What about the witch council?" Danny asks.

"Screw em," says Zelda. "Besides, we live in a town where everyone knows ghosts are real. They can't really do anything about that anyway. Just as long as we don't tell the WHOLE town, I think we're good."

Danny lets out a small laugh and then says, "Now…about the talking cat."

Sabrina waves it off, "Salem? Oh, he's harmless. He wasn't always a cat believe it or not. He used to be an evil warlock who tried to take over the world. The witch council turned him into a cat as punishment."

Danny's eyes widened," And you say he's harmless?"

"In cat form, yeah."

Suddenly Danny's phone vibrates and he take it out of his pocket. It's a text message from Sam that reads, "WHERE ARE U?"

"I take it your friends are wondering where you are," Sabrina guesses.

As Danny texts back he says, "Yeah, I'm gonna have everyone meet at my parent's lab."

"How do you think they're gonna handle what I'm about to tell them?"

The halfa looks up, "Well…"

"YOU'RE A WITCH?" Sam and Tucker both exclaim. The tech geek having a look of shock while the Goth looks like she had just won a trip to Paris.

Danny shushes them both, "Keep it down guys, my parents are upstairs."

"First ghosts, now witches?" asks Tucker. "What's next, fairies?"

"Oh my God," says Sam. "And I thought it was awesome enough knowing that ghosts exist, but…witches? Do you have a spellbook? A humongous black cauldron? A witch hat? Do you fly on a broom?"

Sabrina giggles at Sam's excitement, "Yes to all of those questions."

"You have GOT to invite me over to your house sometime and show me everything."

"Maybe later, first we need to find out why this Vlad guy put a bounty on Danny's head."

The halfa scoffs, "Probably just to make my dad look like a fool."

"Are you sure that's the only reason?" asks Tucker.

"Yes, that's exactly the reason." As Danny is speaking, Jack walks into the lab and overhears his son. "And did you see the way those other ghost hunters laughed at him? How embarrassing."

The other three teens look behind them and see Jack hearing all of this, as well as the look of hurt on his face.

"We're gonna have to deal with his goof-ups for the rest of our lives."

Sam finally grabs Danny's attention, "Ahem."

The halfa's eyes widened, "He's right behind me isn't he?"

"Yes, I'm afraid he is," says Jack. "If you need me I'll be upstairs doing something wrong."

With that Jack sulks his way back upstairs.

Once he was gone Tucker looks over at Danny, "Gee, you want to go up there and make your mom cry?"

Danny's heart sank, "Great, I just ended up doing Plasmius' job FOR him."

"There has to be SOME way we could cheer him up," says Sabrina.

"I think there's only one thing that can," Sam suggests. "Him catching a ghost."

Danny perks up and smiles, "You're right, and what better ghost for him to catch than public ghost enemy no. 1." He then changes back into his ghost form. "You think you guys can keep the other ghost hunters busy while I help out my dad?"

Sabrina does a salute, "You can count on us."

Back outside, Sabrina, Sam and Tucker are now looking at the main mode of transportation they will be using for Tucker's "Boo-yea Tour", which consists of a bike connected to a small carriage.

"There is no way in hell I'm totting all of these ghost hunters around town in that," says Sam.

"Not to worry," Sabrina says as she looks around for a bit for any onlookers, and then conjures up her wand, surprising, and impressing her two new friends respectively. "Nothing a quick makeover won't fix."

With the wave her of her wand, what was once a small bike and a carriage, now becomes a large tour guide bus, with a paint job matching the color scheme of Danny's "Phantom" uniform and the word's "Tucker Foley's Boo-Yea Tour" written in the same font as the "D" symbol on Phantom's chest. The bus's horn plays "La Cucaracha" for good measure. Sam and Tucker's mouths go agape at what they just witnessed. If they didn't believe their new friend is a witch before, they sure do now.

The bus door opens revealing a random driver who asks, "So, where to first?"

Roughly half an hour later, the bus makes a stop on a hill where everyone can get a clear view of the town. Sabrina, Sam and Tucker are sitting together in a seat on the top part of the vehicle while the ghost hunters are sitting down below.

As she is enjoying the view Sam says, "We haven't heard from Danny in a while. I hope he's okay."

"Has he been in trouble before?" asks Sabrina.

"Oh, plenty of times," Tucker answers earning an elbow to the arm by Sam. "B…But I'm sure that's not the case this time around."

Suddenly something comes flying towards the three teens, and they see that it's none other than Danny. In his arms is his dad.

One of the Guys in White sees them and says, "It's the ghost kid, and Jack Fenton."

With that, all of the ghost hunters begin to leave the bus.

"I guess the tour is over," says the driver.

"Oh no," Sabrina says as she sees the ghost hunters try to claim their million dollar reward. She conjures her wand and turns to Sam and Tucker. "I'll go help Danny." She too gets off the bus.

The ghost hunters continue to chase Danny and Jack. One of the Guys in White pull out a small rectangular device and throws it at Phantom, making him lose altitude and fall to the ground. As Jack goes to pick him up he sees the Extreme Ghost Breakers pull out a hacky sack. They kick it around for a bit before they kick it in Danny's direction.

Jack gets in the way, "LOOK OUT FOR THAT…" And he gets doused in ectoplasm. "Hacky sack. Just so you know I don't like helping you."

"Then don't," says Danny. "I can take care of these clowns, go help our family…I…I mean YOUR family. Not mine."

Jack begins to look suspicious for a moment before making a beeline back to his home.

Once his father was out of sight, the halfa turns around and sees Sabrina hiding behind a tree, wielding her wand. With one wave, the half witch conjures up a rock that the Guys in White trip over, forcing them to fall in the mud.

"GAH, CODE RED, CODE RED," one of the operatives shout. "We have been compromised."

As Danny tries to hold in a laugh, he then sees Scaredy Cat and approaches him, "BOO."

The white tiger gets frightened and he runs away, colliding with the rest of the Groovy Gang and the Extreme Ghost Breakers in the process.

"Let's finish this up," Sabrina says as she waves her wand again.

"Don't leave these hunters lying around/Levitate them off the ground."

The ghost hunters are now being lifted from off the ground, and with another flick of her wand, Sabrina sends them to a garbage bin near the Nasty Burger. The half witch and Danny approach the garbage bin and Sabrina makes a small dog appear from out of thin air. Danny couldn't help but be impressed by his new friend's display of witch magic.

"This is gonna take some getting used to," he says as he opens the bin.

Sabrina throws the dog inside where it starts barking and chasing after Scaredy Cat inside.

The male Extreme Ghost Breaker shouts, "THIS REEKS…TO THE EXTREME."

"I say that about wraps things up," says the young half witch.

"Not quite," says the halfa. "I now know why Plasmius put that bounty on my head, he's after my ghost portal."

"What? Why?"

"I don't know, but we need to head to my house right now and stop him. I'll fly you there."

"No need."

Sabrina puts two fingers into her mouth and whistles. Seconds later, a broom comes flying in and hovers in front of the two teens.

"Again, this is gonna take some getting used to," Danny says as he and Sabrina fly to the Fenton residence.

The two halfas make it to the house with Danny going in first by phasing through the roof. Sabrina uses her magic to open the front door and she rushes to the basement. She eventually makes it to the lab and she sees that Danny is back to his human form. Before the half-witch could ask why, she looks over to where her friend is looking and she sees Jack fighting Vlad…and winning.

Sabrina looks back at Danny, "Shouldn't we help him?"

Danny smiles, "Nah, let him have his moment. In the meantime, I think I'll just finish up on my chores. I've been blowing them off for far too long."

Suddenly, the two teens begin to hear something, "WARNING, ECTO-FILTRATION SYSTEM REACHING CRITICAL MASS."

Danny's eyes widened, "Oh crap."

"What's wrong?" asks Sabrina.

"The ecto-filtration system. It's what keeps the portal running for as long as it needs to. Every now and again it needs to be changed, kinda like how a remote needs new batteries. I keep forgetting that I need to do this, and I really, REALLY shouldn't."

"I'm almost afraid to ask but…what happens when you DON'T change the ecto-filtration system?"

Danny cringes, almost afraid to answer the question, "Then the whole house will explode."

Sabrina eyes widened, "Well don't just stand there, DO SOMETHING!"

The halfa immediately rushes to the portal and presses few buttons on the ecto-filtration console. A green tube filled with ectoplasm pops out and Danny quickly grabs it.

However, "The new filtrator…WHERE'S THE NEW FILTRATOR?"

"EXPLOSION IN 5…4…"

Danny begins to sweat buckets. However, something unexpected happens…The countdown suddenly stops. The halfa looks at the console and sees that the timer has been frozen in place. Then he looks behind him and sees Sabrina holding her wand.

"Okay, that should buy us enough time," says the half-witch.

"You have a spell that lets you stop time? THAT'S AWESOME," Danny exclaims.

"Yeah, but since the sun's still out, and my magic is reduced by half, I don't know how long the spell will last. So whatever you're planning on doing, do it fast."

"Right," the halfa says as he looks around the lab.

After a quick search he was able to find the new filtrator and quickly places it in the console, just in time for Sabrina's spell to wear off.

"NEW FILTRATOR INSERTED. EXPLOSION NO LONGER IMMINENT."

Meanwhile Jack, wearing his Fenton Ghost-Gloves is hoisting Vlad up in the air and is now walking towards the portal.

As Danny's father opens the door, Vlad says, "It's impossible, you're an idiot, AND IDIOT."

"Maybe so," says Jack. "But I'm the idiot who beat you."

He then proceeds to punch the older halfa right into the portal and the door closes.

"That was awesome, Mr. Fenton," Sabrina says with excitement.

"When my family is in danger, I mean business," Jack says with a smile. "Still, I'm surprised you kids were able to change the ecto-filtration system so quickly. I thought we were toast for sure."

Danny chuckles nervously, "Yeah, well, I couldn't have done it without Sabrina's help."

"What can I say?" Sabrina now says, "I work pretty fast when I'm in a pinch."

After informing Sam and Tucker about Vlad's defeat, Danny and Sabrina are now sitting on the front steps of the Fenton house, as they have much more to discuss.

"So that time when the ghost minotaur attacked our school," Danny began. "And he suddenly stopped moving when I was fighting him. That was you wasn't it?"

"Guilty as charged," Sabrina confirms with a proud smile. "It was a paralysis spell Aunt Zelda taught me not long before we moved here. I was actually surprised it worked, for such a low level spell it was VERY difficult to master."

Danny chuckles, "So I guess it's twice that I owe you, and you say there are more of you witches out there?"

"We all reside in our very own realm along with a whole bunch of other supernatural beings."

"There are other realms besides the Ghost Zone?"

"Like Aunt Hilda said, ghosts fear us, so much so that they isolated themselves to their own little pocket dimension."

Danny chuckles again, "Oh man, if you're able to put the fear in someone like Vlad, I can only imagine how the other ghosts I fight will react when they find out about you. I'm actually looking forward to it to be honest."

Now Sabrina chuckles, "Speaking of Vlad, he didn't seem so tough if your dad was able to beat him."

"Yeah, well, that's the beauty of my parents' ghost hunting inventions, when they work, they can be very effective. I know from a few first hand experiences."

"Still, it was cool that you were able to let him have his big moment."

"After the way I've been treating him lately, it was the least I could do."

After some silence, Sabrina nervously says, "…You've probably been wondering why my parents aren't around, and why I'm living with my aunts, huh?"

Danny's face falls, "We don't have to talk about it if you don't want to…"

"No, no, it's okay. I don't mind at all." She then smiles. "For one, they're not dead, so you can breathe sigh of relief on that one."

The halfa does just that, "Okay, so…where are your parents?"

The half witch also sighs, "Divorced."

"…Oh."

"Yeah."

"So, uh, if they're divorced, how come you're not with either of them? Why are you with your aunts? If you don't mind me asking of course."

"Well, since my dad is a warlock, he had to attend to…warlock duties. So he's rarely ever around. My mom…well like my Aunt Zelda said, the witch council didn't take too kindly of my dad revealing his secret to my mom. So when they split, the council placed a curse on her, just so they can set an example for any other witch or warlock who would want to marry mortals."

"What kind of curse?"

As Sabrina begins to shed a tear, she says, "If my mom and I were to ever see each other again…she'll be reduced to a ball of wax." She then lowers her head in sadness.

Danny, in an act of comfort, puts his arm around the half-witch, "I'm so sorry. That's terrible that they would even do such a thing."

Sabrina accepts the halfa's embrace and she wipes the tears from her eyes, "You're lucky that you still have your parents, and it's clear that they love you very much. Which is why I think you shouldn't be too hard your dad. He can be embarrassing sometimes, but it's clear as day that he cares about you and your family. Be thankful that your mom and dad are still around, and cherish every moment you have with them." She then looks up at her friend. "Promise me you'll do that?"

Danny looks down at Sabrina and smiles, "I promise."

Sabrina smiles back. The two teens gaze at each other for a moment until… "Ahem."

They break from their embrace and look behind them, finding Jazz leaning against the doorway with a smirk on her face.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything," the elder Fenton sibling says. "But mom wants you to come in for dinner."

"Yeah, okay, I'll be there in a moment…and warn a guy next time," Danny says with an annoyed look and flushed face.

Jazz keeps her smirk and walks back inside.

The halfa sighs and looks over at Sabrina, whose face is also flushed, "Well, I better get inside. Your aunts are probably waiting for you too."

"Yeah," the half-witch says as she and Danny stand up.

The two teens are now facing each other and Sabrina says, "Sooo, I'll see you at school tomorrow?"

Danny smiles again, "You bet."

The two finally go their separate ways. As Sabrina enters her house, she sees Salem sitting on top of the stoop, with a sly grin.

"So, had fun spending time with your ghostly boyfriend?" the cat asks.

The half-witch rolls her eyes and walks into the house, "Shut up."

Moments later, Sabrina is now seen flying through the night sky on her broomstick, enjoying the view of the town. However, as she flies over the wilderness, the shadowy form of Penelope Spectra emerges from behind a tree and sees the young half-witch fly by.

"So the rumors are true. We do have a witch in Amity Park." The ghostly emotion eater continues to observe the girl and grins. "So young, so beautiful…so powerful. I think I just found my new body."

With Plasmius defeated, it looks like our heroes will have to deal with another threat. Spectra's back in town and she has her eyes set on our favorite teenage witch. What's going to happen? Find out next time.

Be sure to leave a comment with your thoughts on the story so far, and I'll try to update this story sooner rather than later. Until next time...
