A/N: The explanation for my late reviews? School. 'Nuff said. I hate math. Sorry for all you math lovers but math is harder than translating Shakespear into modern day words. I should've taken Honors English. It'd look good in my college apps anyways. And I wanna see if I can join Spanish club. ...

I don't own DP!

Danny's skin was surprisingly cool against her own fever-hot skin, and she couldn't help but kiss him back. And finally, after what seemed like a couple of minutes and a couple of centuries, Danny pulled back with another one of his breathtaking small smiles. Paulina blinked, dumbfounded at the sudden action.

Danny striaghtened up and glanced down at her. He offered his arm and she gratefully accepted it as he easily helped her get back on her feet. He swung an arm around her small shoulders and pulleld her in closer to his lean body. "You do not know how long I've wanted to do that." Danny glanced down at her, his glowing green orbs emanating happiness.

Paulina smiled and gently leaned her head against his shoulders. When she glanced up, she caught Danny frowning.

"What's wrong?" Paulina inquired.

"I have to go home and talk to my parents." Danny's frown deepened and Paulina's heart made a nervous flip-flop.

That's right. His parents saw him transform...

Danny finally arrived at hsi house.

Paulina decided to come along with him and, stubborn as she and Sam were, refused to leave his side. Devon came because Sam came in case there was an emergency, but all three promised not to interfere with him and his parents conversation except it truly called for.

Then, Tucker and Star ran into Danny as he walked the black road that led to his house. The two had assured Danny that they hadn't uttered a word to his clearly confused parents. The new couple then walked away leaving an anxious Danny and his worried friends.

Danny heaved a nervous sigh and the group made their way up to the treacherous steps that led to the door.

Danny gave Paulina's too-warm hand a gentle squeeze before placing a hand on the knob and swinging the door open. "Mom? Dad?" He switched on the lights and the dark room instantly lit up. It was surprisingly empty. Danny motioned for his friends to take a seat on the cozy couch before he steadily made his way to the already-lit-up kitchen.

That's when he found his parents sitting comfortably at the kitchen table. Both of them were unusually quiet. "Mom, dad. We need to talk." Danny stated.

His mother nodded silently and kept her expression blank. His dad, on the other hand, was like an open book. It was obvious he had a million questions, that he was confused and that he was uncertain about many things. "Have a seat, son." His dad motioned at the chair that sat across from them. He wondered what was going on in their minds. But he wasn't a psychiatrist like Jazz. Where was she when he finally needed her? At some stupid psychiatrist convention.

Danny nodded and obediently slipped into the chair. "Look guys, I know you have a lot of questions..." Danny's voice trailed off as he studied their expressions.

"A lot of questions." Jack agreed.

Maddie was surprised everyone by finally speaking. "Questions for our son. And if I find out Phantom is possessing my baby boy, I'll shoot you." That's when Jack and Danny finally noticed several weapons scattered across the room. Each one was well placed so that it could be seen but it wasn't noticeable. (A/N: I figured Maddie wouldn't be the one to not be suspicious.)

"Graet job Maddie!" Jack bellowed before the two resumed their silence.

Danny cleared his throat. "You guys remember the Ghost Portal last year? How it wasn't working?" He waited until they nodded before he continued. "Well, after you guys gave up on it, Sam convinced me to go into inside it and I did. I accidentally hit the 'on' button. The portal turned on and blasted me with what we guess was ecto energy." Danny replied.

Maddie's face went pale but he continued anyways. "When I came out, I fell into Sam's arms and I turned intangible. I had white hair and glowing green eyes. For a moment, we all thought I died. Then, when dad started coming back downstairs I turned myself human. It turns out I only half died. Then I found out I had ghost powers and Tucker, Sam and I have been fighting ghosts to keep the town safe. If it weren't for Sam, I would've never got to help all those people and save lives." Danny smiled a small smile.

"Sam did this to you?" Maddie half-said half-yelled as she stood up suddenly, her face twisted up with anger.

"No! Mom! Sam had nothing to do with it! It was all me! I was the one who decided to go in. I was the one who went in!" Danny's eyes instantly turned green. No one would accuse his friends like that without releasing Danny's anger.

Maddie froze. Suddenly, a beeping noise snapped Danny out of his stupor. Danny spun around only to find himself face-to-face with a large, painful looking ecto-weapon.

"Danny it responds to ecto-energy!" Maddie warned with a frightened tone.

His eyes reverted back to normal and the beeping noise died down.

That's when they came bursting through the door.

A/N: The next chapter will be posted in a moment. I promise when I'm done with this story I'll review it for all mistakes and then fix it, ok? PLEASE REVIEW!
