Yes, I know kill me if you like, but I'm telling you. You have NO idea what my week was like.

Onward with the story! And sorry to the people who PMed me and wondered why I wasn't updating, I hope you understand.

Chapter Twenty-Two

The first thing that happened, after all the screaming from the eerie face that was hovering over them, was a loud clang then uncontrollable laughing. The flashlight had fallen to the tile and Danny was standing in front of them, in the dark, the light shining at his feet—shoes…whatever. In the dark, they heard laughing.

It took a few seconds for everything to get everything that happened so fast into the two doctors' brains; once they understood what happened, they couldn't, they joined the laughter.

After about 30 seconds of laughing—straight—they calmed down and Danny slowly grabbed the flashlight that was on the cold floor. The halfa sighed in success.

"I guess doctors are fun to scare," Danny chuckled, "Don't you agree?"

Ryan shook his head, smiling, "Well, easy for you to say. How did you get away with it?"

"Easy, I just walked behind you," Danny said, smiling in triumph.

"Yeah, but I mean without making any noise?" The doctor asked, rising an eyebrow.

Danny shrugged, "I have my ways."

"I'll take it, you did a pretty good job," Ryan admitted.

"A pretty good job?" Danny asked in disbelief, "I scared the socks off of you guys!"

The rain was still pounding against the windows, it was so hard, it seemed like it was angry and wanted revenge. But the windows were stronger then the rain; Danny drifted off and looked out the window, when no one replied to his comment, he wondered when the lights were going to come one. One flashlight might not keep enough light in the room.

The halfa plopped on to the bed; hearing the noise, the doctors followed his example and sat in the chairs. They looked around not talking, not knowing what to say. They were clearly "coversationless", no one did know what to talk about, but to wait till lights came on.

They heard a sigh from the right; Ryan got up and announced he had to go to the bathroom. Stewart face-palmed as Danny tried his best not to giggle, after he noticed what he had said, Ryan blushed and walked—felt—his way to the bathroom that was in the room.

That left Danny and Stewart in the eerie room, with on flashlight on, probably the only light in the hospital. (Unless some people had flashlights with them.)

"So, uh," Danny started, startling Stewart, "What happens if someone needs power for the machines… thingys?"

"Thingys?" Stewart asked, cracking a smile, "We have an emergency power thingy."

Danny smiled at the sarcasm, "Well, then I know what happens with the thingys."

The young doctor laughed, "Yes, I guess you do."

Danny accidentally changed the subject, "I'm sorry but I really don't like the hospital clothing and socks, no offence."

"None taken," Stewart replied, "No one really does, it's not like real clothing, eh?"

"Well, I do know that now," The halfa said, "It annoyed me actually." Then he smiled, "Well, seriously, I want to hear your thoughts about the "Skittle prank" that I did on you."

Stewart had a puzzled look, as if he had forgotten, after a second, the puzzlement disappeared and a soft chuckle was replaced by it, "That thing? You want the real answer?"

"The honest answer," Danny confirmed.

"Well, er, it honestly scared me to death," Stewart smiled, "I thought I was going insane."

"I think you were," The halfa joked, "It sounded like it anyways."

Before Stewart could say anything, they heard the toilet being flushed and a door creaked open. Danny shined the light towards the bathroom door and Ryan stared at the two, "Did I miss anything?" He asked stopping his tracks, completely confused.

"No, not really, just talkin'," Danny replied, trying to act like he was holding a secret.

Seeing that Danny was playing around, Stewart played along, "Yeah, like about the teddy bear thingy."

Ryan stiffened, "The teddy bear thingy? What teddy bear thingy?"

Not making eye contact with Ryan, Stewart looked down, "Yeah, like the machine thingys."

"What?"

Danny laughed his head off, and Ryan was completely lost. "I seriously missed something, huh?" He asked smiling.

"Yeah, unless you over heard about the thingys," Danny said jokingly.

"What thingys?" Ryan cried. "I want to know what these thingys are!"

Stewart chuckled, "Ryan, it's nothing, better get a sense of humor."

Ryan shot his buddy a dirty look before moving his way to his chair. As he took a seat, he glanced up at Danny then to Stewart to see if they were sending any messages through looks. After he decided that they weren't doing anything like that he sighed, "When will the stupid lights come back on?" He muttered.

As right on cue, the lights flickered back to life. After a few seconds, they heard a clicking sound then someone was talking through speakers that were everywhere throughout the hospital.

Sorry if you had any problems, we had some difficulty getting the power back on. If you need any help, just call for help.

They heard a clicking noise that sounded like someone was hanging up on a phone then everything went silent, except for the humming sound of the lights and machines in the room.

Danny looked at Ryan, "I guess we have a magic man in the room." He gave a small clap for Ryan.

Ryan played along, "Why thank you young man." He got up to his feet and gave a small bow.

Stewart cracked a smile and got up too, clapping along. "That was an epic thing you did Sir Ryan!"

"Why thank you," Ryan said, bowing again.

Someone outside of the room saw the action that was happening inside of the room. The person stopped his tracks and looked at the trio, confused. The stranger decided to see if everything was okay and moved towards the door. The person opened the door and stuck his head in. "Is everything okay in here?" He asked nervously.

Startled by the newcomer, Ryan spun around to face the stranger, "Yes, everything is going just fine Mr. Phillips. Just having some fun, right guys?"

The two nodded their heads, agreeing.

"Alright Ryan, just… be careful," Mr. Phillips replied, "We're still having some issues."

This caught Danny's attention, before Ryan could say "okay" Danny cut in and asked, "What's happening?"

Mr. Phillps looked at Danny with his tired green eyes, "We're sort of having some problems with some people and the power of course."

The halfa got off of his bed and inched closer to the man, "What is going on with some people?"

"It's nothing that you need to worry about," Mr. Phillips insisted. "Everything will be sorted out soon." He smiled, "Good evening you three." And he closed the door, walking away.

But Danny wasn't done, he was sure this was something he had to take care of. He walked over to the door and opened it. Ryan saw his actions, "Danny, it's fine; it's nothing you have to worry about. It's not your responsibility; come back in."

"Not my responsibility?" Danny repeated. He peered out the doorway and looked at the direction Mr. Phillips went. He saw the man turn a corner and disappeared out of sight.

"Yes, you're just a kid, nothing more." Stewart said. "We need to protect you."

Danny gripped the door handle till his knuckles turned white, "Just a kid? I'm just a kid and nothing more? Okay so I just watch TV like a normal kid, I swing and giggle like a normal kid?"

Stewart gave Danny a hurtful look and he also felt guilty for the halfa, "It's not like that. I-I was just saying you shouldn't get involved with this."

Danny took a deep breath; he couldn't start acting all angry at just one simple sentence. It would be absolutely ridiculous. "I'm sorry too, Stewart. I just feel like I have to take these responsibilities. I feel like I have to protect everyone, so I'm just curious what the problems are."

"Why are you curious and why do you feel like you have to protect everyone?" Ryan asked, joining the conversation.

Still looking out in the doorway, Danny glanced around the room outside of his. He wanted to find more information, he had to protect whoever was having issues, he may not be a doctor, but he can help people. "I just do." Danny replied.

Ryan pulled the halfa back inside and closed the door to avoid people. Danny gave the doctor an irritated look before Ryan started speaking to him. "You don't have to protect everyone. But you can help people. I'm just saying that's a lot of stuff to carry on your shoulders. That's a big responsibility."

Danny shrugged, "I know." He said simply said.

Ryan drew a deep breath and put a hand on the halfa's shoulder, Danny felt like something was coming that he didn't want to hear. Something he didn't want to face or handle at the moment. "You don't need to protect everyone. You can help and protect some people; it will help you and them. Families have each other, like we watch out of you. We're like your family. And like how Danny Phantom protects the town from other ghosts. The town is like his family and he wants to protect them."

Danny brushed off the hand on his shoulder, he really didn't like where this was going. But Ryan continued, "So I'm saying take care of your family, not everyone. You're not Danny Phantom."

The halfa tensed and asked, "If I'm not Danny Phantom, then who am I?"
