Specs: !
Jason: Specs, what HAPPENED?
Specs:...I updated...
Jason:-facepalm-
Specs: Don't throw your tomatoes on me just yet. I promise to update a ton of chapters when I'm done. I'm going to type the next chappie after I post this. I don't own Danny Phantome.
Jason: You spelled Phantom wrong...
Specs: Dang.
Jason stared silently at Toni and his grandparents as he pretended to take a sip of his hot chocolate. He felt awkward because all his grandparents talk about is ghost, ghost and MORE GHOST. It was getting so aggravating for him. He eyed Toni as she listened intently, or compared to what was intent for her, to all each grim detail of ever ghost.
"…There also these kind of ghosts that can suck of your very soul," said Jack. He looked like the big green jolly giant only his clothes were dominated with orange. It was skin-tight, wedgie causing type of spandex and he never seemed to take it off because it showed signs of age. There was a few holes in it but he loved it all the same.
"…Yes, you don't want dear Toni to get nightmares, do you?" asked Maddie with concern. Jason's grandmother was a sweet, old lady. She had gray hair with streaks of her bright auburn hair she must have had before. It was tied up into a bun and, unlike her husband, wore a long blue dress that made her look what elegant despite her age. She had black sandals and a pair of glasses resting on the tip of her nose.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Fenton," Toni said monotonously as she tilted her head to the left, "I love the stories you tell me, no matter how scary."
Maddie smiled brightly towards Toni and glanced at Jason. He was already staring into the contents of the hot chocolate, stirring the marshmallows out of complete boredom. She showed concern for him.
"Jack, dear, have you ever told Toni about Danny Phantom?" Maddie asked sweetly, with a hint of small hope to grab Jason's attention.
And yes it did. Jason almost immediately looked up from his cup, nearly knocking down the mug together with what was inside it. Jack smiled rather widely and goofily as he finally thought HE caught the attention of his grandson.
"I never told them yet haven't I?" he said in his loud booming voice. "He was a great guy. Saving the town from time to time, he was great!"
"I thought he was just some stupid comic book character," Jason accidentally thought out loud.
"He's as real as he can be," Jack said, ignoring the fact Jason just called it stupid. "He beat every bad ghost out there, no matter how strong. I remembered we used to think him as the bad guy. After he showed us something, we stopped hunting him and he began to help us." This comment received a small cough from Maddie. "Err, we began to help him. His powers kept on growing and growing non-stop. There was no limit," Jack said hysterically as he waved his hand about. Then the mood became intense as Jack frowned.
"He disappeared one day," Jack said seriously, "Fourteen years ago to be exact. We don't know why though. Many joked that he went to some sort of ghost college or some believed he was finally defeated. One thing is for sure, he'll come back."
Jason's dad suddenly walked casually into the kitchen, passing by the fridge and grabbed a diet coke. When he looked up, everyone in the kitchen was staring at him. He merely shrugged and left the kitchen.
After a few moments, Jack immediately stood up and said, "Look at the time, Toni, it's time for your curfew."
Toni nodded slowly and stood up and walked out of the kitchen and turned back with a small smile on her face. "Thank you, for your time Mr. and Mrs. Fenton…" She turned towards Jason and he blushed lightly as she did. "…and thank you Jason." With that, she left.
"She's such a nice girl," Maddie said when she was sure Toni had left. "She visits us every day when we don't have people to keep as company."
"But now that Danny and his family are here," Jack said, "We're whole again!"
Jason just remained silent. Toni is a nice person. But why does everyone avoid her? He pondered on that until his grandfather suddenly grabbed and squeezed him, tightly.
"I mean, our son grew up fast that he even has a son of his own," Jack said enthusiastically. Jason didn't know what they were talking about, but he knows that if this keeps up, he won't even know what would come after that.
Jack had finally let him go as he gasped for breath. Jack said as he stretched, which caused a cracking sound, "Well, time for this old man to hit the hay. I'll be back up when it's dinner." Jack left, with Maddie watching him leave. She turned towards Jason, still catching up on his breath. She smiled and walked towards him.
"I'm really glad to see you Jason," Maddie said. Jason looked up and just gave her a weak smile, letting her know that he was listening. "It was getting really lonely without your father here. I know that he has his job to do but I sometimes wish…" Maddie sighed deeply "…he can visit us every once in a while."
Jason felt guilty all of a sudden. He had begged his father not to come here before they left. Now that they're here, he realized what his father wanted to do.
"I better go watch after my husband," Maddie said with a smile. Before she left, she kissed Jason on his dark raven hair. As soon as she was gone, Jason just groaned deeply. Today was one crazy day, he thought. He decided that he should go to his room and unpack some of his stuff and do his homework. With that in mind, he left for his room.
Just about the time he was going to go upstairs, he looked to his left and saw the door to the mysterious room was open. He stopped in his track and stared at the door. Curiosity was beginning to mess with his mind. He then remembered the words of his aunt. "Jason, your not allowed to go anywhere near things that are closed. I thought Danny thought you better..."
Jason smirked. It isn't closed, so might as well take a peek. Making sure no one is watching, he made his way in. It was so dark inside but he was somehow able to see. He always had been able to see in the dark as long he can remember. He carefully scanned the area and saw the stairs leading down. As he walked down, each step he took caused the echoing sound of metal. As soon as he felt that he reached the bottom, he didn't believe what he saw...
Specs: Cliffe X3
Jason: Don't you think our viewers deserve more than that?
Specs: I'm workin' on it (mutter mutter)
Jason: While Specs is busy, she promises to re-edit former chapters. Isn't that right Specs?
Specs: Shut up, I'm busy...
Jason: She'll be back.
