Hey, thanks for the reviews. Looks like Danny's gonna deal big time in detention. Let's see how this ends up. Review please!!
Danny walked to detention. He came in early, which is something unusual. He had to make sure he was ready for when he told Mr. Lancer and Valerie. He knew this was serious, and this was it. After he told them, there was no turning back. He hoped enough that Valerie would still except him, and that this would turn out right. He saw Valerie coming out the door with her stuff, and sat herself by Danny. He took a deep breath, and then hoped for the best.
"Hey Danny, surprised to see you here early," smiled Valerie.
"Hey Val, listen, there's something I need to tell you," said Danny.
"What is it?" asked Valerie.
"You know that mark on your hand?" asked Danny.
"Yeah, it's still there and I can't get it off," said Valerie.
"I found out what that mark means," told Danny.
"Really, what's it mean?" asked Valerie.
"Have you heard about the legend of the 'marked one?'" asked Danny.
"No...I haven't," cocked Valerie.
"You see, the 'marked one' is supposed to be the keeper of the diamond of the Ghost Zone," explained Danny.
"What does the diamond of the Ghost Zone do?" asked Valerie.
"Refuel's it, you know, like putting gasoline in a car or food in our stomachs," answered Danny.
"I see," interested Valerie.
"The diamond is within the 'marked one' and at this day by Sundown, is the day when the Ghost Zone needs to be refueled or there won't be a Ghost Zone," said Danny.
"So, what does it have to do with the mark on my hand?" asked Valerie.
"I'm getting there," said Danny, "anyways, the diamond is getting more powerful by this time and..."
"Makes the ghost more powerful," added Valerie.
"You're good. He also has to be there with his guardians, ten to be specific," told Danny.
"Are they also ghosts?" asked Valerie.
"I don't think so," said Danny.
"Oh," nodded Valerie.
"Anyway, the marks on our hands symbolize something," explained Danny.
"For what?" asked Valerie.
"The capital M is the mark for the 'marked one.' I'm the 'marked one,'" admitted Danny as Valerie's jaw dropped, "and you're one of my ten guardians."
"Then that means, you're..." muttered Valerie.
"Yes," nodded Danny as he fazed his hand through the table, "I'm half ghost."
"Oh my gosh, how long?" asked Valerie.
"Since the accident at my parents' lab," answered Danny.
"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Valerie furiously.
"Cause you've been hunting my ghost form since the time I was trying to stop that Ghost Dog at your dad's lab and ruined your social life," admitted Danny.
"But that was...Danny Phantom," widened Valerie, "you're Danny Phantom?"
"Yep," said Danny.
"Oh my gosh!" shocked Valerie.
"Miss Gray, do you mind keeping quiet during detention?" asked Lancer.
"Sorry," said Valerie, "Danny, I can't believe that I hunted my friend all this time. I was really shallow that time when you ruined my social life. I'm really sorry."
"You mean, you don't mind me being half ghost?" shocked Danny.
"Danny, if you were a bad guy, you would've killed me by now," laughed Valerie, "I'm not stupid."
"I guess I would've," smiled Danny as they a quick hug and then let go.
