The Quest: Chapter 6
A Visit from the Past

Three Weeks after the incident

"Huh? Hello?" A soft moaning was heard. The Ghost Boy, Danny Phantom, woke up from his deep slumber, and found himself in the depths of the Ghost Zone, without any idea of his whereabouts, or anything that brought him there. He had previously explored the ghost world in search for Dark Danny, but this place is one of the many realms yet to be discovered by him.

"Where am I? I don't recognize this place!" He quickly stood up and rubbed his eyes. "What am I doing here?"

Danny placed a palm on his forehead and began to recall the last events that happened before he ended up in this unknown realm:

"Wait. I was at home. Sleeping. That's the only thing I remember!" He exclaimed. "But how did I end up in here?" Believing that one of his enemies might be involved in this, he shouted, "Whoever you are, show yourself! I am not here to fight; I am here to help my friend!"

Suddenly, the deep voice of a ghost boomed across the Ghost Zone. "Oh, you have woken!" Danny turned around, but he didn't see a single ghost. "Who are you?" He yelled.

The voice answered, "You remember me, Daniel. Because of your love with her, even in your dreams, she is present."

"Ugh, there's only one person who would know of that," Danny said to himself. Turning around one more time, he shouted, "Nocturn! What do you want? Why did you bring me here?"

Suddenly, dark smoke started to swirl around in front of Danny, to reveal Nocturn, the Ghost of Sleep.

"I want to help you, Ghost Boy." Nocturn said. "The Goth Girl needs you, right?"

Danny answered, "Yeah. She's in a state of coma. His sad face quickly changed into rage. "That darn Dark Danny caused this to my friend."

Nocturn sat beside Danny and gave him a sympathizing look. "Well, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope she gets better soon."

"Thanks, Nocturn." Finally, Danny's enemy had turned into his ally, ready to help him in his needs. "So, how would you help me?"

"Well, I have someone you can talk to." Nocturn stood up and raised his hand. Suddenly, two figures started to fade in front of Danny. "Wh-who are you?" He asked. The two figures simply responded with a smile.

Danny realized something. He recognizes the woman's smile, and was able to compare it to someone close to him. He was shocked. "Are you… you… Sam's grandma?"

They were indeed, Sam's grandparents from her mom's side. "Yes, Danny Phantom." The old woman simply nodded.

"Oh, it's so nice… to meet you." Danny stammered. He couldn't think of anything to say.

"You too, son." The man responded. "We have known all about you, and how you saved the world. You have done a great job."

"Thank you." The Ghost boy thanked the couple for remembering him of his act of heroism. "Look, you might know what happened to Sam, your grandchild-"

"Oh, indeed we have." The man interrupted. "And we became much worried about her."

"Well, she's still young, and she still has a lot to do and learn." The woman said. "Even if we wanted her to join us, we cannot force her."

"Oh." Danny cannot think of anything to say. However, the couple could see the Ghost Boy's ultimate love for the Goth Girl.

The couple then said, "And we thank you, for being at our granddaughter's side, every single moment." Danny's sad face quickly turned into a slight pink blush, not expecting that Sam's grandparents would know about their relationship. "Wha- How did you-"

"We've been by Sam's side since we died," the man interjected. "You know, she wasn't the Sam you met when you were in second grade. But after she met you, she suddenly changed. And we believe that she changed for you."

"Me?" Danny asked, placing his hand on his heart.

"Yes." The woman nodded. "You've been there for her, and your adventures had been the best in the world. She met such an extraordinary man, who will care for her and will love her, till the end of time."

Danny couldn't control his tears, and began flowing down. The young Ghost Boy was deeply touched by the couple's statements. Little did he knew, that even his girlfriend's grandparents, whom are long gone in the human world, are witnesses to their ultimate love tale.

The man then exclaimed, "FInally, we can rest in peace."

Danny asked, "Wha-what do you mean?"

The woman answered, "We're bound to the Ghost Zone because we still have unfinished business to attend to, and that is to guide Sam. But now that you are Sam's new guardian, protector and companion, our job here is done. We can finally go into the light."

Instead of becoming glad that he became Sam's new protector, Danny became doubtful about his new responsibility. "How could I ever become her guardian? I mean, I failed to save her from Dark Danny! And now, I'm struggling to bring her back to my side!"

The woman walked towards Danny and touched his forehead. "Yes. They are the challenges to your ultimate love for her. If you truly care for Sam, you will do whatever it takes to protect her. Eventually, if you succeed, you would surpass these quests, and the memory that these challenges will leave on your hearts will become the foundation of your love for one another."

The touch and words of Sam's grandma seemed to calm down Danny's doubts and worries, and replaced them with inspiration, wisdom and courage. "Thank you very much," Danny said. "I promise, I will bring her back to me."

Suddenly, a strong flash of light beamed from above the couple. As they were about to leave for the afterlife, Danny asked them one last question. "Wait!" He exclaimed. "Can you please visit Sam's dreams for me? I'm sure she would love to see you again." The couple smiled then answered, "Sure, if time permits. But for now, you have a task to complete, and that is to bring Sam back."

The couple faded into the light as young Danny watched. After the bright light faded as well, Nocturn appeared. "Well, I hope this encounter helps, young Danny."

Danny left a smile as he answered, "Indeed. It helped me realize a lot of things."

"Such as?" Nocturn asked.

Danny went silent for a few seconds before bowing down his head and softly saying,

"My ultimate love and new responsibility for Sam."

Nocturn left a smile as he faded from Danny's sight. The Ghost Boy's vision suddenly turned as dark as the night, as Nocturn put him back to sleep and sent him back to the human world where his new quest begins. And that is to bring back Sam.
