Ch 5: Thoughts
Vlad and Danny reached the lab. As Danny looked around, he wondered what it was that Vlad wanted to show him. Suddenly a manila folder was tossed in front of him. Scrolled across it were the words, "CONFIDENTIAL." Danny opened the folder and saw information ALL about him. Danny's flaws, and weaknesses were written down on paper in Vlad's writing along with photos.
"This is the information I collected when I desperately tried to clone you," Vlad said. "Danny, do you know why the perfect clone of you failed?"
Danny shook his head. He was going to say, "because Dani and I destroyed all the clones," but he thought against it.
"It's because it needed your DNA between ghost and human. Don't you see Daniel? Your human self stabilizes you as it does me. Without our human emotions tying us down, we would cause chaos."
Danny looked through the photos that Vlad had collected. He suddenly came across a photo of him, Tucker, and Sam. "We look so happy," Danny thought.
"I wish I were dead," Danny whispered to himself.
"What did you say," Vlad asked in disbelief.
"I said I wish I were dead! Don't you see Vlad! I can't be happy without the ones I love! I never will be! You don't understand! The only way I can ever see them again is-"
"Is what…Danny," Vlad said.
"Is if I kill myself!"
Danny then threw the manila folder onto the ground, and ran upstairs. Vlad called after him, but Danny didn't care. He changed into his ghost form, went intangible, and flew to the top of the mansion. There, he sat and watched the sun go down with each passing minute. While staring off into space, he thought long and hard. The grief had suddenly hit home. Danny held his head low. Tiny tears started to leak out of his eyes, but then the tiny ones turned into huge droplets. He sobbed as each tear hit the insignia on his ghost outfit.
"I have to do it," Danny said to himself. And with that, Danny flew. He flew as far as his ghost powers would let him until he found the spot he had been searching for. The tall tower of Fenton Works shined brightly up at him. As he looked down he saw that guys in white had surrounded the home. They had bought Fenton Works after his parents' deaths. Danny flew to the top of Fenton Works and changed back to normal. Luckily, there were no guys in white on the roof. "Those idiots wouldn't think to find me up here."
Then Danny looked down below. He eyed the concrete that lay below him. He started to move closer and closer to the edge. With the thought of his loved ones swirling in his brain, he jumped.
Don't freak out guys! This isn't the end of Danny! There's more to come!
