Danny's laughter quickly died as he flew closer to his parents. Their stunned faces followed his every move. He floated across from them and nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
Maddie stared in shock at her enemy… no her son, that now floated in front of her 50 feet above the ground. Jack was just stared. There was a moment of complete silence then….
"I'm Sorry," said Danny looking down.
This hit Maddie like a freight train, she burst into tears, deep heart wrenching tears. Jack hugged her tightly a single tear sliding down his face. Danny flew back a little, in a reflexively shocked way, then, at a complete loss, cried too.
"Now what do I do?" Sure Danny had thought about how he would reveal himself to them, but never in his wildest dreams had he thought he'd have to do it on a ski lift! After the whole Freak Show thing he'd promised himself that he would do it on his terms and his terms alone, at least that time he could erase memories! "Darn it Vlad!" thought Danny as more tears of frustration flowed down his face. He looked back at his grieving parents and cautiously drifted closer.
Maddie continued to cry. "Its really him!..Oh my god, I… I hunted my own son!" she thought in total dismay. Suddenly she felt a cold hand gently touch hers. She looked up and saw watery emerald eyes full of concern and… a hint of baby blue?
"Danny?" she said weakly.
"Yeah, Mom. It's me," he said with a weak smile.
"How?" asked Jack.
"I'll explain later, but first," he said holding out a hand to each of his parents, "Let's get off this darn lift." Jack and Maddie looked at each other in hesitation. Then Jack, being his impulsive self, took Danny's hand and Maddie followed suit. Danny quickly turned them intangible and then gently lifted through the bar into the air. Their skis fell off their feet and into the snow far below. Maddie glanced down and gripped Danny's hand tighter.
"I got you," said Danny reassuring. She nodded her head roughly with her eyes closed. Danny adjusted their arms over his shoulders, like he did when he flew with his friends. Then started to fly down the mountain.
"This is different," said Danny.
"Ha," laughed Jack sarcastically.
"No. I mean, I'm used to flying with Sam and Tucker."
"They know!" shouted Maddie and Jack together.
"Well, yeah."
"Does anyone else know?" asked Maddie. Danny paused. He knew his answer wasn't going to be received well, but he figured they'd find out eventually. So…
"Jazz."
"WHAT?!" they shouted again.
"She knew and she didn't tell us? I mean this is so… dangerous and… well heck you're a ghost!" said Maddie.
"You'd think with all her talk about … about" said Jack.
"Philosophy?" answered Danny.
"Yeah, that! You'd think with all her talk about that she'd tell us!"
"In my defense, I didn't tell her, she found out on her own. You'll have to take this issue up with her."
"Oh, believe me I will," said Maddie disgruntled.
"Ok, slightly scared for Jazz," said Danny to himself.
"Me, too," said Jack as he glanced over at his fuming wife.
Danny continued to fly down the mountain. They flew over the countless pine trees, the cold air slightly stinging their faces. Danny drifted downward, made a hard right and suddenly the twinkling lights of a small mountain village appeared.
"Feww, thank goodness! I thought I might've gotten lost," said Danny relieved.
"Foood!" shouted Jack.
"Alright, so we'll go to the room, warm up, order some food and then we can talk, ok?" said Maddie.
"Sounds like a plan, Mom."
Suddenly a dark figure appeared in front of them.
"Ah, crud" shouted Danny as he did a quick and awkward back flip to avoid collision.
"I'm afraid I can't allow this to continue any further, little badger," said a dark and sinister voice.
"The Wisconsin Ghost!" shouted Jack.
