PinkPanther123: Good question. What I meant by 'edit' is that I might decide to change or add some details to the previous chapters.

Garnet Sky: Yes, they did forget about the roof, I'm guessing it's because Fentons, Jack in particular had the habit for forgetting important things such as a handle on the inside of the weapons vault. On the good side, Danny could transform and leave the house whenever he wants.

Thundagamon: I appreciate your 'weirdness'

Chapter 8

The Fenton Works was quiet, its silence disturbed by the only sound of ecto guns whining with energy. The two older Fentons trained their guns on their youngest child. No one moved.

"Danny?" Maddie finally asked in surprise, lowering her gun slightly, stunned at her son's unexpected appearance. She chose not to drop the gun; due to past experience with ghost invasions, a ghost might have been overshadowing her son.

Danny paled. "I-, I" he stuttered out, looking at both guns, expecting his parents to press the trigger at any moment.

Unsure of what to do, he backed away from the gun. Behind him, an orange haired girl with black shirt and blue pants came into view.

"Danny, what's going on?" the girl asked uncertainly then frowned, noticing the guns. "Mom? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I told you not to aim guns at people! Look at what you've done to Danny!"

"I- I thought that ghost boy was going to enter our house. I'm so sorry Danny." Maddie managed to say, feeling slightly guilty.

Jazz frowned. "We haven't seen any ghosts. Let's go little brother." She pulled Danny up the stairs then turned to face her parents. "We'll talk about this later."

Danny turned back to look at his parents. "We'll be in my room." He said as he disappeared from view.

Maddie dropped her gun and sat down on the floor. 'What happened back there?' she paused for moment, rearranging the events. 'Okay Maddie, calm down. Let's think back again. First we thought the ghost boy was heading here through the front door. Or that direction in any case,' Letting out a small bitter laugh, she shook her head, 'No, that's just silly of us. Ghosts are capable of using intangibility and invisibility, why would it just come in through the door like a human? It could have come in invisibly while we weren't looking. (Note to self, tell Jack to add another ghost proof shield on the door) Somehow, Danny and Jazz were coming home at that exact time and... We'll just have to apologize to Danny and Jazz when they come down again. So what had actually happened to the ghost? I'm sure the detector wasn't broken…'

Maddie stood up and walked to the kitchen table where the Fenton Ghost Detector was placed before the whole mess happened. Its screen had returned to its normal blank green screen. 'The ghost's disappeared again!' she thought.

However, her thoughts were interrupted by her daughter's voice. "Mom, we need to talk."

"Danny? What happened back there?" Jazz asked once she closed the door. Danny slumped down on the bed, colors returning to his face.

He sighed audibly. "That was too close."

Jazz pondered about the incident downstairs. "Why did mom say she 'thought' there was a ghost just now?" she mumbled to herself, looking at Danny questions forming in her head.

"How did mom think there was a ghost outside the house? Why was she so sure of it? This isn't good. Danny, answer me. Was there any ghost, besides you, I mean, that were nearby the house?" Jazz asked worriedly. Danny shook his head, "No. Besides the Lunch Lady I had in my thermos. There wasn't any ghost nearby that I knew of."

"Then why would she think there was a ghost near our house?" she paused, then frowning as a thought hit her. "Danny, were you flying home in ghost mode just now?"Jazz asked skeptically tapping her chin. Danny's eyes widen in fear was enough to confirm her suspicions.

"How did she know I was near the house in ghost mode? She said she thought the ghost boy was entering our house, I don't think there were any other ghosts they called ghost boy." Danny continued, sarcastically, "How ironic. Mom's right. The 'ghost boy' had indeed entered our house."

"But h-how could she know? She couldn't have guessed it. Otherwise she wouldn't have brought out an ecto gun. And dad was also there... No wait. If mom was there, then there must be something or some device that told her a ghost was nearby. I'm going down to talk to her. Perhaps we'll gain some answers. You stay here Danny, incase whatever had alerted mom could also detect you in human mode. You should lie low for now Danny. Or at least if you had to really go ghost, just try to stay away from mom and dad." She sighed inwardly, 'There'd better be a good explanation behind this', she thought as she walked out of Danny's room to the kitchen.

"Mom, we need to talk." Jazz said, noticing her mother at the kitchen table.

Maddie Fenton looked up from the Fenton Ghost Detector and silently motioned to Jazz to sit on a chair.

Rubbing her temples she started, "Where do you want to begin?"

"Let me start with this then, why did you think there was a ghost heading for our house?"

"Remember the invention your dad made the other day?" At Jazz's nod, she continued, "He fixed it; it alerted us whenever the ghost boy's nearby or so we think." "It worked fine this morning…" she muttered to herself.

Jazz heard the mutter but continued, "Why the ghost boy?"

"Because your dad tried the Fenton Bug on the ghost boy while we were out ghost hunting. It had also worked once after he fixed the detector's screen. But why it would ever target Danny is a mystery." After a pause she asked, "Is Danny acting normal today?"

"He's not overshadowed mom!" Jazz quickly answered, knowing what her mom was going to say. But she also knew that the truth wasn't too far off either. Maddie frowned at how quick Jazz answered it and decided to think about it later.

"Okay then. Do you have anything else to ask me?"

"I guess not mom. I'll be going upstairs now." Jazz nervously replied, trying to get away before she let lose a hint about Danny's other half.

"Okay sweetie. And do tell Danny that I'm sorry about this afternoon." Maddie called after Jazz as her daughter left the room.

Once she heard a door slam shut in the distance, Maddie recalled conversation she had with her daughter. The conversation had roused more questions than understanding between the two. Jazz was hiding something. She had answered too quickly when Maddie was about to ask her whether she thought Danny was overshadowed or not. 'Was Danny overshadowed then?' Maddie pondered silently. Maddie glanced back at the Ghost Detector's screen again. There are still no signs of the ghost boy. 'Strange…' Maddie thought, 'The ghost boy had disappeared. How is it that this ghost is able to hide from the detector from time to time? I'm sure the Detector wasn't broken this morning… And from what I know, the detector should be able to at least point the direction of where the ghost is, even if it is in the ghost zone. Then it must have a way to disguise itself from the radar. Maddie gasped as an unbidden thought appeared in her mind, 'What if the ghost had really overshadowed Danny? From how Jazz answered, I'm sure she's not telling the truth. So does that mean she's involved in whatever this is?'

A/N: This is a hard chapter to write but also longer than all the chapters so far. (Note in mind that the Fentons often mistook someone for a ghost, usually their children. I hope this would explain why no one was upset much about the incident.)

*I had also decided that I would try to finish Ghost Bug as soon as I can. Anyhow, I would still sometimes upload Finding the Truth. I'm also sorry about this notice but I might not be able to continue uploading at the pace of two weeks a chapter anymore. I WOULD still continue it though, just slower updates.*

Review please!
