Uh… sorry for the late update… school work has fallen on top of me and it took forever to get through… But, here it is now! I don't have school Monday so I can update then… perhaps…
Well here is the next chapter!
Chapter Eighteen
…
The doctors kept asking Danny about the green eyes, but he kept telling them it was an illusion and that it would go away soon.
By the time Danny's eyes turned back to blue he finally got the doctors to leave him alone with all the questions he was going to explode from. He didn't know what to do, he certainly couldn't get out and run—fly—back to his house, the doctors would freak!
Tears forming, Danny plopped onto the bed and stared at the blurry floor. Why were the doctors so pushy now? What did he ever do to them? What did he say or do to deserve this? He knew those doctors, he even got used to them! More importantly, he trusted them!
The broken young halfa looked around for a clock, on the side of the wall just right by the window, he found a digital clock.
It read: 3:47am
He did have to admit that he was tired again; maybe he was just really stressed out and he couldn't really focus. Maybe this was all just a misunderstanding! Maybe they were asking him something else, not the one he thought that they were talking about. Perhaps it was just a dream…
Danny shook his head, it seemed real and it felt real. Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to go through all of this? Hardly anyone goes through a portal and gets zapped; hardly anyone saves their hometown, hardly anyone gone through the stuff he's gone through! So why did he have to suffer more?
No… He needed to stay strong… just like at the beginning of the attack. A voice, a voice that told him that he needed to stay strong. He had to stay strong; he wasn't ready to let everything drop on his shoulders at the same time. He needed to stay strong for everyone he loves.
But he couldn't…
He had so much he was going through; he wished it would all just stop! He's gone through all of this pain and what is he getting? Is there anything that waits till the end? Or is it just pain throughout his whole life? Was he meant to get hurt like this all the time?
Danny grabbed the pillow on his bed and stuffed it towards his face to bury it in, but then he noticed that it was the pillow that had the hole in it. Studying it, Danny wondered if he did this to pillow with his anger… what would happen to the whole town if he let out all of his anger?
The halfa dropped the pillow on the floor and slowly made his way to the window. Danny's eyes darted all over in the part of town his window showed him, it looked all nice and peaceful. Then a horrible picture of the town being burnt down interrupted his mind; Danny gasped loudly as he saw the picture become clearer and clearer, showing more detail by the second.
Would the town be like this if he let out all of his anger at once? Was he really that evil?
But then what helped him along the way?
His friends… his family… the ones he loved the most… they really haven't left him behind, they do want him back. They're waiting for him, he had to believe that! That was the only way he had gone through all of this pain, he got thought it because of his friends and family.
Nothing in life is meant to be easy.
The image disappeared as if it was scared of all the happiness Danny was receiving by the second, by thinking all the time he had with his friends and family. All the happiness that surrounded them, blocking that evil feeling.
Danny slowly came back to reality; he found his hand on the window. He took it off and saw the outline of his hand on the glass and it quickly dissolved.
He just had to hold on a bit longer, deal with all the stress and pain he was going though. He had to have a good attitude, because attitude is everything.
A knock on the door interrupted Danny's peaceful moment; slowly the halfa turned around to see who it was. He didn't really want to see them, but he was willing to for his family and friends.
"What do you guys want?" Danny asked trying to keep his tone leveled.
Ryan stepped in slowly and Stewart followed him in as well. When they stopped walking, Ryan cleared his throat, "Well… we felt bad about what we did to you. So we decid—" But he was interrupted.
"It's fine," Danny said, "I forgive you."
Ryan blinked, unsure of what to do, finally he found himself saying, "You mean after all we did you… you forgive us? I mean we weren't supposed to do that."
"Yes, I'm sure," The halfa said softly, "I really mean it, but I really don't want to go back with that argument." Trying to get their mind off of the depression around them, Danny gave them a smile. "It's meaningless. It doesn't matter."
Now feeling like he had stepped into a trap, Ryan sputtered, "I-I uh, well, Danny I'm not so sure if you're feeling well. I mean you do have the rights to be really mad at us. But you're nothing close to that… do you need any rest?"
Danny chuckled, "Rest does sound nice right now. But to get through this, I need to have a good attitude, even though that might be hard," He shrugged, "So… no hard feelings?"
"I'm stunned," Ryan admitted, "I mean I've never seen anything like this before. You've gone through so much and you are having a good attitude? If I were in your shoes I would be beyond angry."
The teen sighed, "I was… but I got over it, I guess I'm just stressed because I haven't seen my friends and family forever. I do really miss them."
Ryan nodded, understanding the halfa, "I'm so sorry Danny, and if there is anything… we'll make it up to you." He smiled and Stewart nodded, "Don't hesitate to ask."
"Well, I would love for the fighting to stop," Danny laughed, "I really don't like it, but do you think my friends and family can come see me this week?"
Ryan and Stewart exchanged looks, and then a smile formed on Ryan's face, "I think that can be arranged."
Danny gave them an encouraging smile before saying, "So I'll see you guys later this morning? I want to catch a few Z's."
"Later in this morning…?" Ryan asked slowly looking outside, "It's night… Oh! Right I forgot that it was late in the morning…! Wait that doesn't make any sense! How do I say it…? Ah who cares, I get the point."
Danny chuckled, "See you later."
The doctors left and Danny fell right to sleep right when he hit the mattress, since he was feeling so happy, he had a great dream.
…
The rest of the day went like a breeze, Danny and the doctors had a great time chatting with each other and joking around. They thought that Danny was feeling well enough to have a stroll around town with the doctors. The halfa quickly agreed that would be a great idea, he hadn't been outside for months!
After they made their final decision, Danny got dressed in some normal clothing that the doctors got him for the fight. They did feel really bad and decided to get Danny some clothes. Since it was going to be hot today, they gave Danny some shorts to wear and a t-shirt.
The shorts were dark tan with those big baggy pockets on the side of his shorts, and a plain light blue t-shirt. Danny admitted he liked it and went to get changed; the doctors also went to get changed into some regular clothing so that people would have to see a teenager walking with to doctors all over town.
About five minutes went by and the doctors met up with Danny in his room.
"You ready?" Ryan asked Danny.
"Are you kidding?" Danny said, "I'm beyond ready, I can't wait to go out."
Stewart chukled, "Maybe you could do some flips and perform a talent show," He winked at Danny.
Ryan sighed in annoyance, "Are you kidding me Stewart?"
"Well at least you're not all snappy at me," Stewart joked.
"That can be rearranged," Ryan snickered.
"Oh please not that again," Stewart said playfully, then quickly changed the topic, "Ready now?"
The trio walked down to the front of the building; Ryan had to talk to someone at the front to tell them that they were out for a stroll with a patient. About a minute went by before everything was in order and stuff; Ryan walked to them and told them that they could go out.
The doors opened and they walked out to the open.
Danny felt the wind rushing through his ears, he felt like this was the first time seeing snow and wanting to run all over it. He felt like he could go as far as he wanted, he didn't feel like he was a prisoner. He felt… free.
The sun hovered over the whole town, making everything bright and happy. Danny gasped at the sight as if it was his first time seeing everything in town, "This has been so long," He sighed happily.
Hearing the teen, Stewart chuckled, "Well do you at least remember some stuff and where they are?"
"Heck yeah… I think… Maybe when I see them I'll be like "oh yeah I remember that"," Danny shrugged, "I mean it's not my first time here."
Ryan took a deep breath before speaking, "Well shall we take a walk through the park?"
…
They found a good place to sit under some shade in the park; Danny played with the grass, feeling the texture again. The two doctors would look at each other and smile at the teen from time to time. Danny couldn't remember the last time he felt like this with the grass or the outside; it felt all new and welcoming.
"So," Ryan started, "What's your favorite TV show?"
Danny looked up at Ryan with confusion, "Huh?"
"I'm just trying to bring up a conversation," Ryan said with a roll of his eyes, "So what's your favorite TV show?"
"Oh, uh, I really don't know, I hardly watch TV," Danny admitted.
Ryan stared at the teen, "You hardly have time? What keeps you from watching TV?"
"Uh… homework?" Danny said uncertain, it was part of the truth, but mostly it was because he had to deal with ghosts then homework always came after that.
"Homework?" Ryan asked, "Do they give you a lot?"
"Not really," Danny admitted.
"Then what do you do if you finish your homework?"
"I never really finish homework, I'm always too busy…"
"What keeps you from doing homework?" Ryan smiled, "TV?"
Danny chuckled, "Nah, well, I wish… sort of… but, no, that's not it, but I am busy with… stuff."
Ryan laughed, "Stuff? Nice, what kind of stuff?"
"Um stuff you probably won't understand," Danny smiled.
"Oh really?" Ryan asked with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "What stuff wont I understand that you understand?"
"Oh, I don't know, but I do know it's stuff you won't understand for sure," The halfa chuckled.
"Is it teenager stuff?" Stewart asked, butting into the conversation.
Danny nearly choked on his spit, "Teenager stuff?" He laughed, "Heck, no, well but maybe it's a child's dream."
"A dream?" Ryan asked now interested.
"No not a dream," Danny corrected, "Stuff that I do is something that a child might dream about."
"Oh and what is that?" Stewart asked, smiling and staring out into the park.
"I thought you would've figured that out by now," Danny admitted, "I mean I've been dropping hints, accidentally, here and there."
Ryan hesitated, "Do you think we know?"
"I thought you would," Danny said, "I thought you guys said you knew me well enough."
"I thought we did too, Danny," Stewart said calmly. "So why don't you tell us some stuff."
"Well… There is one thing," Danny said as a sly smile formed on his face, "I have a question…"
"Yeah?" Ryan asked.
"What superhero do you know best?"
"Uh…" Stewart slowly said, "Spiderman!"
Danny laughed as Ryan shot him an irritated look; Stewart blushed and looked down, "Okay first I do like watching some cartoons time to time okay? But seriously I think I know Danny Phantom the most."
"Same here," Ryan agreed.
Danny stopped laughing and looked the playground in front of him, "So tell me… what do you guys know… about him?"
Stewart thought for a minute, "Well I do know that he fights ghosts, who wouldn't see that?"
"Same," Ryan said, "He's also a nice person from what I see."
"Like what kind of nice?" Danny asked.
"Like he would sacrifice himself for other people," Ryan said to Danny, "A true hero I would call it." The young doctor paused, "But why are you asking us this?"
Danny shrugged, "Just wondering."
"Do you know much about the ghost kid?" Ryan asked and Stewart nodded.
The halfa took that by surprise and stared at Ryan, "Yeah I guess I know about him." He smiled, "Okay I take that back, I do know a lot about him."
"So what do you see him as?" Stewart asked.
"Same thing as you guys," Danny said looking back at the playground, "But I do know he has feeling like us, he's just like us, just probably a ghost though."
"But why does he fight the other ghosts to save the town? Is he turning back on his own kind?" Stewart wondered out loud.
The teen became quiet; he knew that he would protect the town… But he was also half ghost… so does it really mean he's turning against his own kind? No, he was full human, just an accident…
Danny sighed before saying, "Because he once was human too."
