Final Opening Commentary: D'''; Our last chapter of Thesis Statement...Chapter 11. :[ It's so upsetting knowing that this is the end of our journey :'''[ *Edited for sappiness* xD I was just about to write this whole big cheesy thing, but who wants that? Especially before the story is even technically over. *rolls eyes at himself* Nevertheless, let's continue forth with torch lit brightly!

Legal Disclaimer: You landed on Chance! Chance Card: Go back 3 spaces. Community Chest!: *Picks a card* "I do not own Danny, Phantom, Walker, Wulf, the Ghost Zone, Maddy, Jazz, Jack, Tucker, Sam, or anybody else I've failed to mention. Please don't sue me. While you're not suing me, Pass Go and Collect $200!" XD Onward!

"So...what now?"

An awkward silence had ensued the moment the shock and awe of Walker's presence finally being lifted wore off. The unlikely trio stared at one another, Danny's previous comment only furthering the fear to speak of the other two. After nearly five minutes of standing around staring from face to face, Wulf was the first to speak.

"I suppose we'll need to be getting back to the Ghost Zone, Phantom," he began, opening up a portal, "Somebody needs to keep tabs on the residents, and it might as well be you or I."

Phantom turned his face to look at the man, his cheeks slightly glistening in what little moonlight remained.

"Right," he responded solemnly quiet as he headed towards the portal.

Danny wanted to feel hurt or angered by Phantom's action, but...somehow he knew it wouldn't help. Instead, Danny decided to give a simple "I'm glad we met again," before he left on his way back home.

"Aren't you going to go with him?" Wulf questioned Phantom, noting the look of desire on the boy's face.

"I can't. I don't belong here, like he does. And whether Walker is here to enforce it as a 'Law' or not...it's still the truth. I get why he always tried to keep us from coming here."

"Okay, then..." Wulf responded, silently closing the portal behind them.

Despite a broken tree or two, and some random litter strewn about the park, no sign of a major war between worlds was present; It looked like it had been nearly any other windy night.

"What time is it..." Danny groaned, looking at his phone. He'd hoped he'd be able to clean up his house before his family woke up: there'd be less explaining to do, if any at all, "2:37..."

He scratched the back of his head, "Yeesh."

He trudged home, not bothering to look back to see if his brother had stayed. If he had learned one thing about his brother in the past few weeks, it was that once he made up his mind, his decision, for the most part, stood firm.

"Ugh..." Danny groaned as he finished cleaning the house. He looked at a nearby clock, "6:11?" he cried out, running upstairs.

He stood in the middle of his room panting as he stopped. The sprint had taken a lot out of him.

"You know what? Forget school today. I helped kill a major bad-ass. The least I should be allowed to do is sleep a little," Danny complained, promptly dropping onto his bed face first.

"Ungh, stupid Phantom," he groaned before he fell asleep.

"You know, if you're just going to keep asking me to make space rifts to see Danny, I'm gonna have to kick you into one of em one of these days."

"Pfft, as if I'd fit," Phantom sarcastically remarked, "I must've gained ten pounds since Walker's been gone. We haven't had his 'Military Obedience Training Regiment' to go through."

"Well, would you rather me kick your ass into the real world, or make a course like Walker's?" Wulf responded equally sarcastic.

"Ha. Ha." Phantom scoffed him.

"No, I'm serious. Either you're going to stop asking me to see him, or you're going to get off your fat lazy ass and do something."

"Hey! I was joking about the ten pounds..." Phantom stuck out his stomach and poked it, "I haven't gained weight..."

Wulf started laughing, "Wow, Phantom. I knew you changed but...wow. This is a little rediculous."

"Hey, I'm still me!" Phantom fired back, "I just know how to kid around a little better..."

"All thanks to HIM."

"Yeah, yeah..." Phantom waved him off.

"Fine, I'll give you until the end of today to think about it. I mean, I know it's only been two days since we kicked Walker's sorry ass, but...things have been running really smooth. You don't have to be here."

"...Alright." Phantom responded simply, gazing into the shimmering portal, studying his brother's face as he wrote down notes for his English class.

Wulf walked away smirking.

~~~~~~~~~DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD~~~~~~~~~

Danny shivered. It felt like he was being watched. He looked all around but nobody was looking specifically at him, rather, their gazes merely passed his presence by to look at their teacher. He looked out at the window, unknowingly gazing right into the portal Wulf had created. To Phantom, it seemed as though Danny was looking straight at him.

~~~~~~~~~DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD~~~~~~~~~

"Ah, yes, Mr. Fenton," Lancer confronted Danny at the end of the class.

"Uhm...ye-yeah Mr. Lancer?"

"I'll be needing your essay by the end of the week. The other students turned theirs in several days ago. I know you've been having familial issues, but...your education is quite important. You do understand that, right?"

"Uhm, yes sir," Danny responded trying to make his way out the door to where Sam and Tucker were waiting.

"Okay then, you can go."

"Thanks." Danny quickly replied heading out the door.

"What was that about?" Sam asked as Danny joined them.

"Nothing, Walker just wanted my project."

"Walker? Who's that? A sub? I thought Mr. Lancer was here today?"

"Oh, uh-uhm..." Danny began stuttering, "he isn't. I mean, uhm...Walker isn't a sub. Lancer is here. I don't know why I said Walker. Hahaha!" he began to nervously laugh.

"Are you alright, man? You look like you're on the way to a mental breakdown."

"Yeah, I'm fine. The past few weeks have just been...unorthodox."

"Unorthodox?"

"Yeah...why'd you repeat it, Sam?" Danny questioned.

"Well, considering your usual vocabulary consists of much less impressive words, I was kind of in disbelief you actually said it. AND used it properly."

"Wow, thaaaaanks," he responded, punching her in the arm playfully.

"Heh, you know I'm just kidding."

"Yeah, yeah..."

Danny continued on with his day until he finally got home. He went upstairs and layed on his bed, thinking of how to start his paper. He had been trying to avoid thinking about Phantom, but after his accidental mistake of calling Lancer 'Walker', thoughts of his ethereal brother consumed his every thought.

'Were they doing okay? Was Phantom happy? What came of the Ghost Zone? Was Phantom serious about never coming back?'

The more he thought about it, he wanted to finish the paper less and less. His thoughts eventually spiraled him down into a depression, of which he decided to rid himself of by sleeping it off. He pulled his blankets up and sighed, closing his eyes.

~~~~~~~~~DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD DxP PxD~~~~~~~~~

"I made my decision, Wulf," Phantom casually began, strolling up along side where he had been standing.

"Well...what is it?"

Phantom thought carefully, "Well...the Ghost Zone is pretty much all I've known throughout my entire life...or after life...or whatever. And plus I don't really belong in the Human World either."

"So then your decision is to stay?"

"But...getting to meet Danny makes me think I might still belong there. I mean...he is my brother..."

"So...you're going?"

"Anyhow, I don't see what he was making such a big deal over...people die there and whatever, and it just causes pain and I'd hate to see him lose somebody and be in pain, so maybe it's better that I'm here..."

"...So you're staying?"

"...Then again, it's not li-"

"WHAT DID YOU DECIDE!" Wulf shouted, getting annoyed at the indecisiveness the boy presented to him throughout the entire day.

"...I guess I don't know," Phantom replied with a sheepish smile, raising only further annoyance within Wulf.

Wulf glared angrily at Phantom, whom just continued to rub his head and smile stupidly.

By the time Danny had woken up, it was well into Midnight. He stretched, several bones in his back cracking from the extended period of disuse. He looked around in the pitch black, almost expecting for sunlight to be present.

"Huh...I must've slept for a long time.."

Danny stumbled around for a few minutes, searching for his light. He finally located it, and, as he turned it on, winced and rubbed his eyes to help them get use to the sudden change.

"Oww! Turn off the damn light!" Phantom yelled from the bed.

"Oh...sorry..." Danny replied turning the light off, "...Wait, what?" he flipped the switch back on and saw his brother in his bed right next to where he had just been, "OH MY GOD...WHAT THE...?"

"SHH.." Phantom instructed Danny to calm down.

"Phantom? When did you get here? And in my bed? And here?"

"Uhm, I don't know, before," Phantom replied, clawing at a stray hair that had detached itself from his head and was waving about.

"Uhm, 'before'? What does 'before' mean?"

"I dunno. Right about the time Wulf opened up a portal and said 'Stop sitting on your sorry, indecisive ass! Go see your brother!' right before he kicked me into it."

"He kicked you out of the Ghost Zone?"

"Ayup."

"Wow."

"I know."

"And...are you happy he did?"

"...Well, I couldn't decide, so he made the decision for me."

"I see..."

"But, now that I'm here, it's definitely not as bad as spending another decade there."

Danny perked up, "So...are you...staying?"

"Staying, as in...?"

"As in like...permanently?"

"If I can."

"Well, uhm...I don't know how we'd explain it to mom and dad...but you can stay in here with me until we figure out some way to."

"Good," Phantom replied, smacking his face down onto his pillow, "I haven't had a real bed in ages."

Danny laughed, turned off the light, and layed down next to Phantom. He sighed in content as Phantom gradually drifted off into sleep, the knowledge that he could see his brother once again wiping out nearly all other anxieties. The only thing that remained was that damn paper Lancer was making him write. He tossed and turned for the next ten minutes, debating whether or not to get out of bed and start working on it. He finally decided to give it a go as he got out of bed and went over to his desk, turning on the light and looking at the paper that had been sitting on top of it. He stared at the outlining paper Lancer had given him for his project, sighing. He took a pencil and began filling in the lines one by one.

"Name...Danny Fenton...Topic...Twins...Thesis Statement..." Danny stopped, thinking about the line's answer for a moment, "Twins are a..." he stopped, thinking some more. He stared at the three words intently, and then erased them, beginning anew with, "Twins have been..." he stopped once more.

Danny sighed as he hid his face into his arm. He had put off the work for so long that now, thanks to the deadline Lancer had given him, he only had a day or two to get it done. He lifted his head up, erased the words, and then began once more.

"Twins..." he spoke aloud, his voice unusually loud in the silence of his room.

Phantom, who had fallen peacefully asleep by this time, felt around for the dark, raven-haired boy in the bed.

"Nnh...Danny?" a groggy Phantom called out, unsure of where his brother had gone.

Danny looked over his shoulder at the sight of his half-asleep brother. He giggled slightly at how cute a sight the pseudo-threatening boy put out, and turned his head back to his paper suddenly.

Danny smiled as he finished the sentence, turning off his desk's lamp as he headed back over to the bed. He had more work to do, much more, he admitted, but that could wait for a moment when his brother wasn't looking so cute and pathetic. Gazing over at the ashen-haired boy and closing his eyes, Danny thought about his Thesis Statement once more.

"My Thesis Statement...Twins are freaking awesome."

And that's all she wrote! Well, he...cuz I'm a guy...but...whatever, same difference. Anyhow...I'M SO SORRY IT TOOK LIKE 3 MONTHS FOR THIS TO FINALLY COME OUT. LIKE, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW BAD I FEEL. Honestly...I thought I posted this. And then I took a short Hiatus, and then I was just busy, but then I logged in to FF one day, and noticed that Chapter 11 was missing..so I got to work getting it prepped and ready for y'all. But..I really hated it. XD So, I went through the process of rewriting it, and this is what our ending is! However, I'm still iffy on the last two or three paragraphs though. So...tell me what you think of them, and if you all still want a sequel and stuff. I'm really, really sorry I didn't get this out sooner! I hope that you can all forgive me, and that you enjoyed the story ! But, honestly, thank you everyone. You helped me continue forward to finish the story. ^^ I owe you all a lot. Thank you. ^^ I hope you also enjoy some of my other stories to come!

Thanks again, everyone. I appreciate your support. With love, ~Shin-Shui~.
