HSR7

Lets see if I can squeeze one more chapter out. If its short it's because I'm trying to post it before to post it before time runs out. Using a sto- I mean borrowed computer for school. Have to return it before the day is out. Can't post anything with it even if I did type it all up I couldn't post it. Really need to hurry.

Disclaimer still holds, trying to type story so won't give random disclaimer.

Things were not going as planned. I really wanted to leave now an I could feel the link to my known more than ever before. Jazz smiled and talked about our parent's but I could feel the sadness behind her words. After a while I excused my self and went out for a walk. I heard a scream, my blood rose my instincts kicked in. I saw a little boy falling from the jungle gym.

"GOIN' GHOST!" I ran towards the jungle gym changing and flying at insane speeds, catching the boy mid way through his fall. He screamed and clutched tight to me. I looked up seeing Sarah pouting on the top. I gave her "The Look" and floated down. Why they ever made a jungle gym so high I didn't know, it was a safety hazard. I landed in the sand beneath the playground the kid's parents running up. I looked at the shivering brunette boy in my arms. He opened blue eyes to look at me.

"Are you a super hero?" he asked, I chuckled.

"Something of the sort." I smiled. I looked up at his parents surprised to recognize one of them, "Dash?" I asked. Dash froze.

"Danny Phantom?" then his eyebrows scrunched together, "How do you know my name."

"As I recall you don't do puny." I set the boy down, he clung to my leg. Dash chuckled.

"Yeah… I really don't do puny." Dash rubbed the back of his neck.

"Um…" I looked down at the kid clinging to my leg, "I kinda need that." The kid held tighter. I floated up turning my legs into a ghostly tail forcing him to let go. He grabbed for m tail.

"I supposed you're here for the reunion?" I asked Dash. Dash nodded.

"Yeah… why are you here?"

"Can't leave." I shrugged.

"Really. That sucks." Dash frowned. I nodded.

"Tell me about it. Plus you're old… well not old, old, but I knew you when you were my age, so it's kinda weird." I shrugged, "I can't age apparently."

"That doesn't seem too bad." Dash thought I looked at him.

"I will still be this young a hundred years from now when everyone else is all wrinkly and dying. I will have watched my family and friends age around me and die, I will go to each of their funerals still fourteen years old. One day everyone I knew will be dead and I will still be alive, fourteen years old forever." I told him, "Now tell me again that doesn't sound to bad."

"I guess I never thought of it that way before." Dash said rubbing his neck.

"Well… I gotta go, my sister is in town and I'm being an ungracious host." I waved, "See you around." Then I flew off leaving the couple at the jungle gym, Sarah scowling on the jungle gym. Well that sucked again. I flew through the door and landed in the living room of my house. Changing back. Jazz was on the phone. Sam was on the couch.

"Are you sure…"

"Who are you talking to?" I asked. Jazz looked at me unsure.

"Our parents."

"What our?" Asked an excited voice over the line. I smacked myself in the forehead.

"Don't tell them I'm here."

"IS THAT Danny?"

"No." I said quickly.

"JASMINE PUT YOUR BROTHER ON THE PHONE!" Mom screeched, I winced. Jazz handed me the phone.

"Uh…"

"Oh my god Danny is that really you?" Mom asked. I choked up.

"Mom?" I asked, I heard her sobbing.

"Oh my god Danny, you're alive?" Mom asked.

"Danny's alive?" I heard Dad.

"Dad?" I asked.

"I'm putting it on speaker phone." Mom announced.

"Danny boy?" Dad asked hesitantly I took a deep breath.

"Hi." I choked out. Jazz was rubbing my back in circles. I felt my eyes fill with tears. Another moment I wished for and never wanted to happen.

"Danny." Dad's voice said.

"Hi Dad… did you ever build another ghost portal?" I asked. Dad chuckled.

"Yeah, got one in our basement already."

"Did Jazz ever tell you… I…" I couldn't say it.

"Jazz ever tell us what?"

"My secret." I looked at Jazz who shook her head. I bit my lip.

"What secret Danny?" Mom asked. I took a deep breath.

"It's better if I show you." I sighed.

"Danny?" Mom asked.

"Are you a ghost Danny boy?" Dad asked, "We'll love you no matter what."

"Dad… I know." I sighed into the phone, how I wished I had grown up, "Mom… Dad… I miss you." I sighed.

"We miss you too Danny." Mom said.

"I'm stuck." I said the words sticking in my throat.

"We'll save you Danny." Dad said.

"I don't know if you can." I sighed heavily.

"We will Danny." Mom promised. I blinked away the tears in my eyes.

"Mom… remember the portal accident?" I asked.

"Yes… you got shocked a little when then portal turned on, why?"

"Mom… I was… I… I was in the portal when it turned on. I turned it on." I whispered.

"Danny?" mom said, "Where are you going with this."

"I'm still fourteen Mom, I can't grow up, I haven't since that day. Mom…" I was getting choked up really badly now, "I… I died in there." I heard her gasp, "Not all the way, just half way." I said.

"Danny… oh my baby." Mom said I could hear the tears in her voice.

"Danny boy…" Dad said.

"I became half ghost… and I should have told you, but I couldn't I was scared, but now… now you know I'm alive you will want to see me, and if you do… you'll find your fourteen year old son in a ghost town everyone else abandoned."

"Danny…" Mom's voice was choked up too, "My baby…"

"Son…"

"I'm so sorry." I said, "I just… I…"

"Shhhhh…" mom said. I blinked away tears furiously though they were streaming down my face.

"We're coming for you Danny." Dad said, "We're coming."

"Dad…" I said, "I… I'm half ghost." I pushed out, "one of the things you hunt… I'm half ghost." I repeated, "Thought it seems like more than half these days."

"Danny." Sam put her hand on my shoulder. I was rubbing my eyes.

"It's not fair…" I said childishly, though I am twenty eight I sure don't act it, "I wanted to be an astronaut, I wanted to…" I rubbed my eyes, Sam and Jazz were both hugging me now.

"My baby…" mom said.

"We're coming." Dad said again though he sounded further away.

"I'm sorry… you kept talking about tearing ghosts apart, and I wanted to tell you, but by the time I was sure I could… well it was easier not to. Easier to lie to you about it, easier for you, and for me. I didn't want to make you feel guilty, and… I didn't want to get in trouble… now I'm crying like I'm five years old and acting like a baby." I said, "I'm sorry." I closed my eyes.

"We love you no matter what, ghost, boy or…"

"Something in between." Whispered finishing Dad's sentence.

"We love you for you Danny." Mom said, "No matter what."

"Where are you?" I asked.

"Arlington Heights." Dad said.

"That's still in Illinois." I thought out loud.

"Well we couldn't move that far away… Danny where did you go when everyone left Amity."

"You haven't figured it out." I asked confused, "Danny Fenton Danny Phantom." I said. I heard silence on the other end.

"You mean we shot at our own son?" Mom asked horrified.

"You are Danny Phantom?" Dad asked.

"Half ghost…" I reminded, "that was my ghost half… I really wasn't trying to hurt anyway, you just saw it that way, honestly, I swear…"

"I belive you." Mom said. I sighed in relief.

"Danny?" Dad asked.

"Hm?" I responded.

"Our son had ghost powers this entire time and didn't tell us?"

"I… you were talking about destroying ghosts, I… I was scared Dad."

"Jack…" mom said.

"But we love you!" Dad said.

"Jack." Mom started again.

"Dad, you talked about how to dissect me using nothing but a spork and a small ecto-gun…" I smiled at the funny memory, which at the time had been terrifying, "Love or not, that can scar a childhood."

"I see your point." Dad said.

"Whether Fenton or Phantom, we love you Danny, you know that right?" mom said.

"I do now." I smiled. I had wondered, wondered what I did wrong for them to abandon me like that, leave me alone in a town without a population.

"I love you Danny." Mom said.

"We love you Son." Dad added.

"Thanks." I smiled into the phone. I felt a small weight lift off my shoulders. Just a small one, but it was enough.

"Goodbye mom… good bye dad… I'll see you soon."

"Bye Danny."

Now… this will most likely be the last chappie… sorry it's so short and all, but I'm SOL as far as typing goes for a while. Things will have to be pen and paper from here to the end of my grounding. I've been grounded for a month almost now so yeah… I'll see what I can do about it. I've been good and everything, but my grounding was until further notice so that royally reeks.
