Danny sat at his kitchen table looking bordely at the note Jazz had advised him to read. He really only skimmed through them for a few reasons, one it was summer, two he knew most of these facts, three he had better things to do, and four did he mention it was summer.

"Hey Danny." Jazz greeted as she walked in with a happy dispostion.

He didn't answer her he simply flipped the page with the same uninterested look till his eyes settled on the page. It was a discription of something he didn't care to remember.

"Why did you write this?" He asked motioning at the paper.

"I write about every ghost related experiance, we have to document these things. Besides it was an important trial in your ghost activities,"

Danny cut off her explantion, "This was not important at all and in fact we don't need to remember this."

"Look Danny I understand that it's painful to remember but you can get through this, just like the last time with the future problem."

"No I can't Jazz because I never really did get over that. And I probably wont ever, look you don't see it from my view, it's much different and much worse."

Jazz folded her arms in frustration, "You're right Danny, I haven't seen things that I wished I hadn't. I haven't seen things that keep me from sleeping at night." She replied with sarcasm dripping from everyword.

"You just wouldn't understand..." He muttered closing the folder of papers and pushing it a side.

Jazz frowned and sat beside him, edging her seat closely she touched his shoulder gently. "Then help me understand, you don't have to carry this alone, I'm here for you."

"I know, but sometimes I think it's easier if I just know." He said looking at her.

"Well I don't think I'll ever bother you about the whole future thing because I wasn't there, but I was for the Freak Show incident. Is there something that was bothering you about it."

"Yeah a lot of things." Danny answered.

"Anything in particular?"

"Well, pretty much the whole thing. But I don't know Jazz I was thinking about telling mom and dad. Maybe I shouldn't have erased their memories."

"No you did the right thing, because we couldn't be sure what they would've done afterwards." Jazz said.

"What are you talking about, they said they didn't care, that they were proud." Danny asked looking confused at her.

"Under the circumstances, yes that was a plausible reaction."

"Ok, you've lost me."

"Think about it Danny, mom and dad found out you were the ghost boy in a heated and confusing situation, and before they could actually face you they were abducted. You follow?" She stopped to make sure he understood her completely.

He nodded, "Yeah..."

"Well now they realize the only thing that can save their lives is their half ghost son. They were probably still angry until I explained why you wouldn't ever trust them, now they have time to think about their actions. After three days of wondering if you'd suceeded they finally saw you, still captive mind you, and they knew you'd come through for them. Now they and everyone else were put on a ride of death with you and only you standing in the way of all of our deaths."

"I think I know where you're going..."

"Yeah, so you go to save us and what happens, you get run down. Now we all think you've died, mom and dad realize they lost their only son and the fact that you had ghost powers doesn't even matter to them. But somehow you pulled through and you save us all. Now mom and dad have the chance to confront you without cages or carnival rides. But considering all they've been through they probably figured it was just better to be able to hold you again, even if your only half of what you used to be."

"Ok, but what makes you think they would've turned on me?" Danny asked.

"Well mom and dad at that moment probably couldn't think of anything else but being able to just see you alive and in their arms. But I'm pretty positive that after a few days of considering this abnormality, they'd grow hostile and demand better answers. And surely you could never explain it to them, I couldn't either. And before you'd know it they'd insist on finding out their questions their way."

"Oh." Danny sighed. "But what do you think they'd do if I told them now?"

"I can't be sure. But I doubt they'd accept it."

"Are you saying they'd only be ok with my abilities if they found out because I nearly died?" Danny said feeling confused.

"Yes exactly. A person's reaction is all based on how the events played to that very moment. If it's something where a valued person or object was almost lost, it's only human nature for a person to set all differences aside after something that tramatic occurs amd cling to what they love."

"So you're telling me that mom and dad won't ever give me that reaction if I walked up to them tonight and told them. That they'd jump on me and hate me. But if I was in a coma they'd be all loving and understanding."

"Basically Danny." Jazz said noting the sad expression on his face.

"The why didn't you...no wait circumstances."

"Look it's not the end of the world you still have me, Sam, and Tucker. And maybe some day mom and dad will learn to love you all of you."

"I guess so."

Jazz smiled at him the got up from her chair. "Hey Jazz..."

"Yeah little brother?"

"Look thanks for talking to me, it means a lot." Danny smiled.

"Any time Danny, you know I don't mind."

"Yeah, and maybe some other time I'll tell you about what's been bothering me the most. But..." He sighed as his ghost sense went off. "Maybe another time." He called as he dashed off.

I thought that Jack and Maddie's reactions needed a bit of explaining seeing as how it seemed a little out of character for those ghost obsessed parents.
