So much feedback! You guys are great! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was camping with the family. Also, it was one of my family member's birthday today (the 30th)! So she is happy and stuffs. We went camping and had a great time.
Alright, here's the new chapter! Jazz will play a more important role in the future. Maybe, maybe not. Enjoy it! :D
"Clockwork? What are you doing here?" asked the clueless five year old. He noticed he had the medalion on, along with his dog.
The old ghost said nothing as he motioned his staff towards his partents, who had guns out. Maddie's was even all charged up.
Danny's eyes widened at he looked at the old time ghost. "Is this the thing you said was going to be bad for me? But I thought…"
Clockwork put a hand up, silencing him. He shifted to a baby, and sadly smiled. "I said it would happen in a week so you not worry, Daniel. I know this is tough for you, as you had only become a ghost yesterday. You are having trouble with your powers, and only Cujo understands what you are going through."
The white-haired kid nodded sullenly. "Yeah, only my best friend in the whole world knows," he cracked a grin. "But hey, at least he isn't some ghost hunter like Jack or Maddie wanting to do, uh, do experiments? Is that what they call it? I'm not really sure."
"Don't worry, Master Danny! I'll always be here for you, no matter that the humans do to you, count on me!" Cujo floated up and licked Danny on the cheek, causing him to giggle.
"Now, Danny, I have something to tell you. I can and will erase peoples' memories on what happened today. At school and at home. You can stay here and live out the days as a halfa without anybody knowing," the time ghost explained, but then frowned when Danny shook his head furiously. "But I know that isn't the case with you. You want to live with someone knowing about your halfa status and accepting you."
Danny nodded, so Clockwork continued. "So you can come live with me if you'd like, in the Ghost Zone. I would teach you the ways of a ghost and control of your powers."
The halfa said nothing, his face unreadable. Then, he slowly smiled. Tears threatened to come out of his eyes and he ran up and hugged the now- adult ghost. "Thank you! Thank you so much!"
Clockwork smiled back, rubbing his head. "No problem. Now, go get your stuff. Your parents will remember you and call child services, so you can only come in the Human Realm as a ghost, which is risky."
AND I… WILL ALWAYS LOVE LINEBREAKS! Yay for randomness!
Danny phased through the floor of his room, Cujo following. "Alright, I want my backpack without all of my school stuff, and my rocket, and this and that and…"
When Danny finished, he phased back in the basement with Clockwork and his puppy. Suddenly he frowned. "What about Jazz?"
"Do not worry, you will see her again. All in due time."
With that, the trio were teleported into Clockwork's lair with a shout of, "TIME IN!"

"I'm home!" Jazz called out as she walked into the front steps. She had a great first day at school! The teacher was praising her for getting every answer right when she was called on. She had made a friend who loved baking and Jazz's eye color. The red haired girl even got a free cookie from the lunch lady!
Suddenly she heard sobbing. She looked around but found out that it was coming from the lab. She dropped all of her stuff and ran down the steps. She tripped, but quickly caught herself as she ran down the stairs as fast as her little legs could carry her. What she saw was a surprise to her. No, really, it was that bad.
Her mother was on the grond crying, a small puddle of tears were around her. Her father was sitting at a table, playing with his fudge instead of eating it. Silent tears were streaming down his face. He even had an unfinished ghost machine next to him- and he wasn't even doing anything about it!
Jazz ran up to her mom. "Mom, what's wrong? Why are you and Dad so upset?"
The ghost huntress didn't say anything as she looked at her daughter with puffy red eyes. She sniffed as another tear came rolling down her face. "D-D-Danny is gone."
The red haired girl's eyesbrows furrowed. What? He was at school!
Maddie wiped the tear away and glared at the ground. "Apperently he left off of the bus and didn't go to class. We just found out, the principal called us and told us that one of his classmates saw him run down the streets." She started bawling once more, and tears started to form in Jazz's eyes aswell. "Why would he run away?! We didn't do anything to him! Even some of his model rockets are gone!"
As tears poured down the seven year old's face, but then glared at her mother. "You didn't do anything?! All you do is work on ghost technology on things that don't exist instead of spend time with your family! You care about your dumb obsession more than family, Mom!" Maddie opened her mouth to argue, but quickly shut it, knowing that her daughter was right.
With that, she stormed up the stairs crying her eyes out. She ran into her room and slammed the door shut and jumped onto her bed. Jazz hugged her legs close to her chest and cried.
She looked up with newfound confidence. "One day Danny," she bit her lip, "I'll find you. No matter how long it takes."
