Hello all readers. This chapter didn't come out the exact way I wanted it, but still gets the point across so the end result is the same. Besides that I don't have much else to say except I posted a new story if you want to read it too. Enjoy the story and please review!

Danny was in excruciating pain. After once again going to Tucker for some first aid, Danny headed to Vlad to tell him to give Danny another day to heal. Vlad, out of character, understood and gave Danny his day.

It seemed Aragon was starting to get impatient. He wanted Danny dead now to start the next phase of his plan, whatever that was. Why else would 3 assassins attack him?

Danny was currently walking around Amity Park's park to exercise his injured leg and calm down. After today, Danny might never see his friends and family again. He thought about telling Sam about Phantom before he left, but decided against it. He didn't want to freak her out and have a chance she wouldn't accept him. He was terrified of what Sam would think of him, and yet, he didn't know why. She was only a friend to him, right? It was purely a platonic relationship, but Danny realized he wanted more.

Danny noticed a certain Goth girl walking up to him on the path.

"Hey Danny", she greeted.

"Hey Sam. How are you doing?"

"I am doing well. Hey Danny, do you want to walk with me?"

Danny hesitated to answer.

"Sure, I guess."

Sam couldn't figure out why Danny was acting so different. Usually he was easy to read and was outgoing. Now, he is being reclusive and unemotional. He has been like that since he returned from his disappearance.

As they were walking, Sam noticed another thing about Danny. He had a limp on his right foot. The same foot Phantom fell on after his fight.

What did Danny do to gain this limp?

"Hey Danny, what did you do after you ran out of the Nasty Burger?"

Sam could tell that she shouldn't have asked that. Danny's eyes widened and he started stuttering.

"I ra-ran to uh Fentonworks," he said without even looking at her.

Sam easily knew Danny was lying to her. She stopped walking and just stared at Danny.

"Danny, if you keep lying to me, I am just going to leave. I know something is up with you."

"Look Sam, what I do is dangerous and I don't want you to get hurt."

Finally Danny told her the truth, but what did he do that was so dangerous?

"Danny, are you in trouble?" Sam asked.

He looked down at the dirt path.

"You are aren't you?"

"Look Sam, he said. I am not going to be here for the next couple days. I am going on a trip."

Sam knew that this "trip" was very dangerous.

"You're not going to die, are you?"

Again, Danny just looked at the floor.

"Danny, what the hell are you doing that can mean your death!"

Danny remained quiet for a couple of seconds before responding,

"I am sorry Sam. I can't tell you."

Sam was shocked. She could not understand why this was so important to Danny and why he couldn't tell anyone.

"Does Tucker know?" she asked

"Yes."

"Then why can't I know!"

"Because Sam, Tucker was there when it happened!"

Danny immediately went quiet after saying that. Sam knew he wasn't supposed to say that.

"Sam, I am sorry but I need to do this."

There was no changing Danny on this.

"Just promise me you we be careful."

Sam looked into Danny's eyes for his answer

"Of course I will Sam and I will come back."

Danny tried to sound reassuring but failed miserably.

Sam just turned around and walked away. No one was able to see the silent tears falling from her face. She eventually made it to her house and went straight to her room, much to the shock of her parents and some of their maids.

Sam sat on her bed staring at the ceiling until she couldn't take it anymore and needed a distraction. She decided to go on her computer and find the local news. One of the headlines on the news site read New Discovery in the Scientific Field of Ghosts.

With nothing better to do, Sam read through the article. It mainly just talked about how one scientist found conclusive evidence that with the right materials it could be possible to create a half human half ghost hybrid. It also said if created they would act a lot different than normal ghosts since they have their human side controlling their ghostly urges. Suddenly there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Sam shouted.

An old lady in a motorized scooter drove into Sam's room.

"What's wrong bubeleh?" the lady asked.

"Nothing grandma. Why would something be wrong?"

"Well, the last time I was upset as much as you look, it was over a boy. The only boy you seem to hang out with so often is that Fenton kid.

Sam just blushed and didn't say anything.

Sam's grandma turned and faced the computer and noticed the article on the screen

"You know deary, just because no one knows something exists does not mean it doesn't. I think Phantom is a good ghost since he fights off all the other ghosts."

With that she drove her scooter out of Sam's room, hoping Sam got the hint.

Sam didn't understand what her grandma was trying to say. Obviously Phantom was a good ghost. He saved the town from other ghosts many times.

Wait, he protects people from other ghosts. That shows a behavior that most ghosts don't show, compassion for humans. That would mean that Phantom isn't a normal ghost like he said. Could he be a half ghost? He did say he was different and half ghosts are definitely different, but who would be his human half.

Sam went through the names of all the people around the age of Phantom, none of them fit the bill though.

It can't be Tucker he is to nerdy. What about Danny. They do look similar and act similar at times, but Danny is too scrawny to be Phantom.

Same then remembered one time when She went over to Danny's house; he was still putting on a shirt and when Sam walked In, His ripped body was showing underneath his shirt. Samtried to hold down the forming blush on her face.

So Danny is similar to Phantom that doesn't make him Phantom. Wait, Danny did have a limp today like he got in a fight, and Phantom did fight yesterday. That is probably just a coincidence though. They are both friends with Tucker, they are both nice, Danny runs away during a ghost attack, Phantom doesn't show up until a ghost attack, when Danny disappeared Phantom also did, and Danny did say he was doing something dangerous. Oh Shit! Danny is the first half ghost. He is Danny Phantom.
