Yay another chapter!!! I've received some reports of spelling and grammar mistakes in my previous chapters, I will try to find them *Pulls out a magnifying glass*

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny nor will I ever *cries pitifully*

Danny was quiet for a moment as he glared at the cookie.

"Danny?"asked Jack looking between him and the dessert.

"Shh," said Maddie turning to Jack with her finger to her lips, "Give him a minute," she added calmly. However, on the inside she was far from calm. "Danny's involved with ghosts! Ghosts! He knows how dangerous ghosts are! But what…does he hunt them? I know that's what we do but it not the same. Not the same at all! Oh, goodness, this is horrible!"

Meanwhile in Jack's head, "Ghosts! Danny has finally taken an interest in the family business, that's my boy."

Now back to Maddie. Motherly instinct was telling her to yell, hug, and listen to Danny all at the same time. She probably would've yelled if she wasn't so interested. She knew absolutely nothing about her own son. Even after spending the entire day with him, she didn't know the answers to some of her biggest questions, like why was he failing school and why was he always coming home hurt? She was silently praying that the ghost thing wasn't the answer to these questions.

Maddie leaned closer and looked straight into Danny's eyes. He quickly looked away. She and Jack waited as patiently as possible for Danny to continue. The only sound was the harsh winter night wind, the slight creak of the lift, and the shatter of Maddie and Jack's teeth.

Danny took and deep breath then slowly exhaled and continued. "It's complicated… I just don't know where to start," he said looking at his ironically colored snowboard, which a moment ago he hated, but was now hoping it would give him the right words.

The Parents waited a moment longer and when he didn't continue, Maddie spoke up. "How about I ask a question and see if we can start there?"

"That might work," said Danny defeated and gripped her hand a little harder. He knew it was a childish thing to do, but right now he needed her and could care less.

Feeling the increase in pressure, Maddie looked at their hands, she was glad that it was giving him some comfort, even though she didn't know why. Then she asked her first question, "What are you doing that involves ghosts?"

"Well, it's not just what I do… It's what I am." There was once again a moment of silence as the parents absorbed these words. Jack was the first to speak this time.

"What, you mean you're a ghost hunter? I'm so proud," he boomed.

"Danny, that's DANEROUS!," said Maddie totally ignoring Jack and finally losing her cool, "How could you do something like that, be hide our backs?!"

Danny cringed, "If that's her reaction to just hunting the ghosts, I'm really not looking forward to the 'being a ghost' reaction! This is not easy and the fact that to get off this gosh darn lift, I have to show them! AHHHH!" Danny mentally screamed. Then he looked at his mom and dad's faces. They were both shaking, with their teeth shattering uncontrollably and they probably had frost bite on their noses. They were freezing and suffering. Danny suddenly became more determined and whipped his face up to look his mom right in the eyes. She looked at him in surprise.

"I'm their only hope," he thought, " I don't care what Vlad has planned, two of the people I love more than anything are in trouble and I'm being selfish. I have to do this. Ok, here we go."

"Yes, Dad I am a ghost hunter," said Danny with a renewed confidence. Jack gave a booming shout of excitement and Maddie gripped Danny's hand again. "But, I'm more than that," he paused and took a deep breath, about to say the most life changing thing ever, "I'm Danny Ph-"

"Good evening, ghost child."

"Ah, crud." Danny said dropping his head in defeat.

If you haven't figured it out yet I love cliffys. *Laughs Evilly*
