A/N: Okay, I got a few reviews (for which I am very thankful and I give cookies to my reviewers) who said that the last chapter ended on a cliffie. Now that I think about it, yes . . . it did end on a cliffie. But at the time that I wrote it, I didn't think it was a cliffie.

Kara: That's right! Though my dark side told us not to tell you guys who it was who said Danny's name, we distinctly put Jazz Fenton.

BlueMouse: I guess as the authors our definition of 'cliffhanger' is a little different than the readers . . . Huh. That's odd because I personally love cliffies. They are fun to hang off of and get all excited about. But I wasn't able to see it this time.

Chibi: (shrugs) I guess one might call it a mild cliffhanger then. Cause it really could have been worse.

Kara: In other news, we don't own Danny Phantom or else we would be rich and we would not have cancelled the show. AND IF YOU TRY TO SUE US I WILL FIND YOU AND RIP YOUR GUTS OUT!! . . . um . . . ignore her please.

Chapter 10: Brother and Sister

Jazz Fenton could not believe her eyes as she looked inside the castle. Her brother, her little brother that she never believed that she would see again was standing right there. She entered cautiously, feeling as though she was in a dream and she would wake up and her brother would be gone again.

Danny stiffened a little as Jazz came in. His sister was actually there! What was he going to say?! What could he say? 'Hey sis! I'm alive, but I haven't come home because I turn into a ghost during the day and based on mom and dad's ghost obsession, I'm absolutely terrified of becoming their lab experiment!' . . . Yeah. He might have been the clueless wonder, but even he knew that saying something like that wouldn't go over well . . .

Jazz suddenly couldn't take it anymore and she ran over to her brother and wrapped her arms around him tightly. "Oh God, Danny! I can't believe it's you! Mom and Dad have been so worried about you and we all thought that you were d-d-dead!" she said, both overwhelmingly happy and a bit sad as she released her brother. "Danny . . . why didn't you ever come home?" she asked him, her turquoise eyes glistening with unshed tears.

There it was . . . that one question that Danny dreaded. He paled visibly as his hand automatically moved to the back of his neck to rub it nervously. "Ahehe . . . ahem . . . well . . . uh . . . there's . . . actually a reason for this . . . um . . ." he then quickly grabbed her hand and started pulling her, more like dragging her away. "Can I talk to you for a moment? Alone?" he asked, sort of emphasizing the alone part, since Tucker had started to come with them.

As Danny pulled his older sister away, Sam just raised an eyebrow. He was hiding something . . . she just knew it . . . why else would he turn so pale at such a simple question? She then turned on the techno geek that got left behind.

Tucker instantly got the shivers and he cautiously turned around only to have his eyes widen as he saw Sam with a rather scary expression on her face . . . she was grinning . . . and not in a good way. It was a way that said, "I'm plotting something and it involves you and quite possibly blackmail." Tucker gulped. "Ahehe . . . Well . . . I should . . . um . . . get back to p-patrolling the um . . . castle." he stammered, but was stopped by the iron grip of the goth girl as she held onto his arm, and would not let go.

Sam shook her head. "No Tucker . . . you and me are going to have a little chat and maybe I can find out what I'm being left out of . . ." she said, the creepy grin still on her face as she pulled Tucker down the hall.

Tucker sighed as he was dragged by the girl. He knew it would be trouble for Danny not to tell her . . . and now it was coming back to bite them in the . . . uh . . .
