Jazz pursed her lips and crossed her arms. Danny waited for her to shout at him for not telling her everything straight away. Sam and Tucker sat on his bed, also taking everything he said in. Jazz leant forward in Danny's bedroom desk chair.

"So… in order to help these "wizards" you have to go to England," Jazz finally commented. Danny nodded.

"And you obviously have to tell our parents you're leaving the country," Jazz resumed. Danny sighed and nodded again.

"What about school Danny?" Jazz asked. Danny blinked. School? He hadn't thought about that.

"I dunno. But maybe we could focus on right now Jazz. Dumbledore is headmaster of a school, maybe he'll enrol me," Danny answered.

"Danny, Hogwarts is a school for witches and wizards. I highly doubt they'll be equipped to teach you the American curriculum for non-magical people," Jazz retorted. Danny rolled his eyes.

"I haven't thought that far ahead Jazz," Danny snapped. Jazz raised an eyebrow.

"This is a huge decision Danny. You have to consider all these things before making it, one way or the other. Your education is important," Jazz reasoned.

"And so is taking down the equivalent of a cross between Hitler and Pariah Dark!" Danny countered sharply.

Jazz shook her head.

"I understand that Danny. But I'm still a little confused why you want to get involved in a war between wizards. From what you said about those dementors, you were powerless," Jazz pointed out. Danny shook his head.

"I didn't know what I was dealing with Jazz. Now I do. I'll stand a better chance if they attack again. Besides, this became my problem when Voldemort recruited those ghosts and came after me," Danny replied.

"You don't know much about wizards Danny. It would be like sending Dash into the Ghost Zone with an ecto-gun. He might figure out everything, but he might not. You've had very little experience with this world. And you've always been out of your depth," Jazz argued. Danny scowled.

"I have not been out of my depth," Danny grumbled.

"You were almost kissed by those dementors Danny! You ticked off Voldemort! Next time you make a mistake, you mightn't have someone else there to save you. I don't want to lose you," Jazz exclaimed, finishing with tears in her eyes. Danny softened his scowl.

"Jazz, if I join the order, that won't happen. Dumbledore has already explained a lot to me. I understand now who Voldemort is. I know what I'm dealing with. Dumbledore would never send me in blind. I can tell," Danny replied. Jazz narrowed her eyes and considered her brother. She sighed loudly.

"Then I think you've already made your decision Danny. You clearly want to join the order. So you have to decide how you're going to explain everything to mom and dad," Jazz concluded.

Danny blinked before nodding. He had made up his mind. It was obvious. The moment he heard what Voldemort was capable of. The second he showed Dumbledore and Lupin he was a halfa. As soon as he started to debate with Jazz on why he should go.

"I suppose I have," he replied. Jazz bit her lip.

"Best time to tell our parents will probably be in the morning and the earlier you do it the better. Give them a chance to wrap their minds around it. I know it took me some time to come to terms with it and I didn't have such strong feelings as mom and dad do," Jazz decided. Danny nodded, starting to feel nervous just thinking about it.

"I'll shut down the house ghost weapons. And I'll try to get them to put away their weapons. I'll tell them there's a study about de-sensitising teens to fire arms. Then you can tell them," Jazz planned.

Yeah, just like that. No problem. Just tell two ghost hunters with a grudge that their son's their sworn enemy.

"Do you want us there too Danny?" Sam offered, gesturing to herself and Tucker. Danny was about to agree before Jazz answered for him.

"Best not. Dad definitely has a shoot first, ask questions never mentality. You being there might be more a hindrance than a help. Don't worry, I'll be there," Jazz replied.

"Jazz, this is huge for Danny. He needs all the support he can get," Sam protested.

"But if things go south, Danny needs to be able to make a quick getaway. If you're there, he'll be distracted," Jazz argued.

As the two girls began to debate on what Danny needed and what he didn't, Danny began to have an overwhelming feeling of panic. He was really going to tell his parents. Sure, they'd found out before when Freakshow had the Reality Gauntlet. But this time there would be no going back. What if, after the news sank in, they decided it wasn't okay for their son to be half-ghost? As his thoughts took over his mind, he began to hyperventilate and tremble in fear.

"Danny?!" Tucker called worriedly, deciding to stay out of Jazz and Sam's steadily growing argument.

"I-I can't do this. I can't. I can't do this," Danny mumbled shakily. Seeing his best friend having a panic-attack, Tucker rushed to his side.

"It's alright dude. Danny, calm down!" Tucker soothed, putting a reassuring hand on Danny's shoulder.

Jazz and Sam stopped their argument and turned to Danny.

"Danny?! Calm down it's alright. Take deep breaths," Sam exclaimed rushing to his side. Jazz blinked in shock. She knew Danny was afraid to tell his parents what he was, but she hadn't realised just how much. Gradually, Danny got his breathing under control and calmed down. Jazz watched as her brother's friends soothed him and sat him down on his bed. Tucker pulled out his PDA to look up what they should do after having a panic-attack while Sam clutched Danny's shaking hand, whispering reassurances. Jazz bit her lip and sat beside her brother pulled him into a hug.

"I'm sorry Danny. I didn't realise you were this frightened," she muttered in his ear.

After ten minutes, Danny finally felt calm enough to speak.

"I think it's a good plan Jazz, but I think it'll be easier if we're not in the house. Here mom and dad have all their… their tech within reach. And can we make it a nice outing rather than me specifically telling them my secret? In case I chicken out," Danny mumbled. Jazz nodded.

"Whatever helps you face this, little brother. And don't worry, mom and dad will accept you. I know they will," Jazz quickly agreed. Danny smiled gratefully.

"Yeah, Danny they're your parents. They love you," Tucker added.

"And we're always there for you. No matter what," Sam concluded with a warm smile. Danny gave them an acknowledging nod.

An hour later, Maddie came into her son's bedroom and decided that Sam and Tucker should head home for the night. The teens obediently left Fenton Works. Everything was planned for the morning. Jazz would start a lecture over breakfast about over exposure to weapons and too little time in touch with nature could cause teens to turn to a life of crime in later life. Then Sam and Tucker would accompany the family on a hike through a nearby nature reserve. Then at some point during the hike Danny would tell his parents the truth. Whenever he felt ready.

The next morning, according to plan Jazz successfully guilt-tripped their parents into taking the family on a hike for the day. Maddie packed a picnic and Jazz ensured that Jack left all his weapons, knowing his hiding places from their weekend camping trip before Jazz revealed to Danny that she knew his secret. Sam and Tucker conveniently arrived shortly before they left and were invited to join them. Within a couple of hours they reached the nature reserve and they started their hike. It would have been a really enjoyable day if Danny hadn't been trying to gather up enough courage all day to tell his parents about his other half.

Jazz glanced at Danny. She wanted to encourage him and give him an opening but she didn't want to trap him like she had unintentionally done the previous evening. Luckily their parents had been too busy hiking to notice how nervous and worried Danny had been acting all day. He avoided her eye. She'd seen how he went in cycles. He'd get extremely nervous and then get annoyed at himself as he built up his nerves only to stop before telling his parents. Jazz could tell that Danny wanted to tell his parents the truth and was getting angry at himself for letting his fears and insecurities get in the way.

Too busy watching and trying to think of a way to help her brother, she missed her step and tripped. The path they were on had a steep slope on one side. She went tumbling down the slope and came to a stop on a ledge twenty feet below the path.

"Jazz!" Maddie and Danny screamed fearfully as they heard her cry out. Everyone gathered at the edge. Maddie dropped her backpack to the ground and pulled out a rope. Danny raised an eyebrow in surprise, astounded how his mother could remember to bring everything, but a phone.

"This isn't long enough," Maddie groaned.

"Mrs Fenton! That ledge isn't going to hold!" Sam exclaimed as rubble crumbled away. Maddie bit her lip and frowned in determination.

"I'm going to climb down there," she decided.

"Maddie, are you sure, what if you fall?" Jack interjected worriedly, searching for anything to help the situation in his own pack. Maddie shook her head.

"No, but I can't do nothing," Maddie replied and crouched down to lower herself over the edge.

Danny tore his eyes away from his unconscious sister and shared a meaningful glance with his friends.

"Mom, I'll go," Danny announced.

"Don't be ridiculous son. No offense but you wouldn't be strong enough to climb down there and carry Jazz back up," Jack replied. Danny took a deep breath.

"I don't need to climb," Danny retorted and willed the ring of light around his waist and changed into his ghostly persona, Danny Phantom. Ignoring his parents' looks of disbelief and shock, Danny floated into the air and dove down to Jazz's ledge. He gently pulled his older sister into his arms, making sure to support her head and neck in case of injury. He then returned to the path and carefully set Jazz safely on the ground and backed away, letting his mother fuss over her daughter.

He'd done it. He'd shown his parents his secret. Now he just had to hope they saw their son still. Jazz soon stirred. She was uninjured for the most part, a bump on her head and a few scratches and bruises. She slowly sat up and quickly took in the fact that she was laying on the path with her parents bent over her with concerned expressions. Behind them was her brother in his ghost form, his friends standing close by looking ready to jump into a fight. Jazz instantly understood. Danny revealed his secret to save her.

Danny did it! He told his parents his secret. Wow, this secret is getting revealed to a lot of people in this story huh? But how will his parents take the news?

Until the next chapter.
