Sorry that this story is so short. Next one will be longer.


Jake woke with a start in his bed. His body shot upright. He started to breathe heavily as his heart raced. His mind buzzed as the past events playing through it like a movie.

"How did I get here? Oh, no. I'm human! Please let no one have seen me change." He thought to himself frantically.

The rest of the family walked into his room and Jake was preparing for the worst.

"Jake, are you okay?" his mother questioned, embracing him in a huge hug.

"You scared us. Dani said she found you passed out near the fight. What the heck were you doing?" Danny worried.

"I was…um…watching." He lied.

"You shouldn't get yourself involved in these fights, bro." Abby commented. "Leave it to us."

Everyone started to file out of the room, except for Aunt Dani. She stayed behind and was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face.

"So, Jake-or should I say Shadow-want to explain?" Dani asked smoothly.

Jakes senses went crazy and all of his muscles tensed.

"Don't worry, I won't tell them. Although, I still want to know when you acquired ghost powers." She commented. She walked over to his bed and sat next to him.

Jake sighed. "Promise you won't tell?"

"I won't if you tell me. Come on, you know you can trust me." Dani urged.

"Fine. I got jealous of Abby and how she got ghost powers and I didn't and she was the hero and I was just the human brother so I went into the ghost portal myself and turned it on when they weren't home. The only problem was that when I came out, I didn't look anything like them so I decided not to tell them. I took up the name Shadow because I definitely wasn't a Phantom and I looked kind of dark, so I figured it fit perfectly. Then I tried helping, but Abby got mad. I got controlled by some ghost and now the whole town thinks I'm a bad ghost except for my friend Matt, who knows that I'm Shadow, and Dad, who doesn't know yet." He explained.

Dani smiled. "I understand and if you ever need anyone to talk to; you can always call me." She comforted and then gave him a big hug.

"Thanks." Jake whispered, hugging her back.


"Bye, everyone!" Dani shouted as she got ready to leave again. She walked over to Danny and hugged him tightly. She and Sam shared a brief friendly goodbye hug. She hugged both Abby and Jake at the same time. She bent over and whispered softly in Jake's ear. "Bye, Shadow." She began to hover and waved.

"Bye Dani/Aunt Dani!" They chorused as she flew off into the sky.

"Shadow says goodbye too." Jake whispered to himself.


Okay, let's have a vote on which idea to do next.

1. Shadow and Abby get their powers and appearences swiched so that Shadow looks like a Phantom and Abby has Shadow's style.

2. Danny and Jake go on a father/son trip and accidentally switch places.

3. A new girl shows up and maybe a new love interest is added. But is it for Jake...or Shadow?

4. Pariah returns.
