When Danny awoke he realized three things, one he was dizzy, two he wanted to sleep way more, and three he forgot to do Lancer's homework assignment.
Well, crap.
He groaned in pain as he woke up trudging his heavy body downstairs holding on to the rails for dear half-life.
"Morning, Dann-o!" His father boomed out with a bright face like a child on Christmas.
"Mmm." Danny managed out as he threw his weird double sided purple backpack on his shoulder.
"Danny, how was your sleep?" His mother asked in a happy tone.
"Mmph." Danny managed out again as Jazz entered with her hands on her hips.
"Danny! What have I told you, sleep is very important for teenagers." She lectured as Danny ignored her.
"Oh, I am sure he is fine dear." Maddie waved off still smiling like she won the lottery or a prize for ghost hunting for that matter.
"What makes you two so giddy?" Jazz asked suspicious of her parents as he eyes narrowed.
"Oh, I thought you would never ask!" Her father squealed happily.
"What?" She asked a bit horror-stricken by the way they are acting. The only way to get them two to act like that is if they make a huge discovery with ghosts.
Bad for Danny.
...Or, her father found a lifetime supply of fudge.
Jazz highly doubts it is the latter.
"We struck the ghost boy yesterday with the Fenton Fader!" Her dad exclaimed even more excited.
Jazz felt sick.
No, not even sick she felt her body her body get taking over with a sense of dire as she almost vomited.
"Yep, the ghost boy is most likely fading to oblivion as we currently speak!" Her father added as she felt even worse.
"What's wrong dear? Oh please do not say that ghost kid got a hold of you too!" Maddie said disgusted at the word ghost boy.
"Danny!" Jazz yelled out as she raised her head not seeing her little brother.
"You did not notice he left to school? Hm, maybe you should go to the doctor." Her mom said as her dad was eating Fenton victory fudge.
"I need to find Danny!" She yelled barging out the door leaving her mother baffled and father in his own world.
She quickly entered her pink small car as she sped off to school. Gripping the wheel tight as she came to a stop at the red light wishing for it to be green. Jazz also wished she had ghost powers like Danny to catch up to him, but most of all she wished her parents never made that darn machine.
Danny already half died by them, she does not want him to fully die.
"Come on!" Jazz screamed in frustration as Casper High was right there. Finally, her wish was granted as the light turned green and she put her foot on the gas making the car screech. When she parked in her honors parking place after jumping out of her car with great speed. Rushing through the hallway with such urgency her orange hair swiftly whipping in the air as she came to a halt at Lancer's English class.
"Please be okay." She muttered her eyes closed tight as she jerked the door open.
Her breath came to a halt as her eyes widened with fear.
Danny was not there.
She was praying he want on a 'bathroom break' as she darted her eyes to Sam, Tucker, then Valerie, and finally to Lancer as he looked at her with confusion.
"Ms. Fenton, is something wrong?" He asked with concern knowing Jazz would never disrupt his teaching for nothing.
"Is Danny here?" She asks panting a bit leaning on the door as her face shows fear.
"No, is he supposed to be?" Lancer asks a bit more worried.
"Wait, did he come home last night?" Sam asks her amethyst eyes wide with worry.
"Yeah, he left this morning, but…" Jazz did not know what to say as she was not the hero her brother was. She did not fight the undead every night like her brother did.
She did not know what to say to all the eyes peering at her some with concern, annoyance, and love struck. Most of all she did not know what to say to Sam, Tucker, and Valerie.
Danny could just stumble in here making people snicker.
He could silence people with one measly look at times.
Danny fought his inner demons already.
Jazz did not.
She couldn't take it anymore as all the faces gaped at her. She did what she felt most like doing, she ran away as her fight or flight kicked in as her distraught face ran from them all.
Sam and Tucker meanwhile, realized something was definitely not right so they both scooted from their seats with a loud screech as they darted out the door with Valerie following.
Lancer has no clue what to do as he watched the door swinging on its hinges as the class looked confused then broke into a chatter.
"Did you see her?"
"I wonder if something is wrong with Danny?"
"Pft, who cares about that freak.
"Call of the Wild, settle down now!" Lancer yelled his voice coming back reaching for his phone to make some calls.
"Jazz, wait up!" Tucker yelled panting heavily as the four of them finally stopped at a dead end in a hallway full of green lockers.
Jazz had tears slowly streaming down her face as her head was against a locker.
"Jazz, it is Danny?" Valerie asked her eyes wide with fear as they moved to focus on the poor girl.
"Why are you here?" Sam grunted out her arms folded.
"Sam, this is not the time for your petty arguments!" Tucker said hoping to make the ultra recyclo vegetarian to calm down and focus.
"She doesn't even know!" Sam yelled as Tucker glared at her.
"Well, she should Val has earned our trust!"
"Not mine!"
"News flash Sam this is Danny's problem and he told me he wants her to know!"
"Oh, so it is a problem now?" Sam mocks out as Jazz freaks out more.
"Guys, shut up!" Valerie yells her eyes moving to Jazz.
"Jazz, what is wrong?" Tucker asks still mad at Sam.
"Danny…" She mutters in her sweater's sleeve.
"What about him?" Valerie picks up worried for the kid she sees as a friend and more.
"Our parents…" Jazz mumble again not wanting to say it.
"What about them!" Sam picks up her voice.
"Not here." Jazz says her voice picking up as she wiped her eyes with the black sleeves of her favorite sweater the one Danny got her for her Birthday as he told her she could not turn it black to the store because it would sweat her out.
God his puns she used to hate them, but now she misses them.
She did not realize she was walking out until the cool autumn breeze blew against her face.
Tucker had her hand as all of them were running out of the building towards the woods not far from the school. Watching the golden leaves fall seemed unethical to her as her brother could be dying or died as she watched them float.
Danny loves flying God, what is she doing he is not gone her parents do not know how long it takes, plus he is half-ghost it could be different.
When they finally reached the outer part of the woods with the sun beaming down on the colorful leaves as Tucker let go of her hand.
"Okay, so what is wrong?" Sam asked as Jazz came to a decision that she needs to be strong for Danny.
"Our parents made a ghost invention, and they called it the Fenton Fader they spazzed about it all day yesterday.
"Well, today when Danny came down he looked terrible and I mean deathly, but of course our parents were too caught in their victory."
"Victory of what." Tucker asked in horror.
"Victory of making the ghost boy disappear at some point close to now."
"I could affect him differently." Sam piped up not wanting to accept it.
"Wait, how does this have to do with Danny!" Valerie yelled with her hands clenched.
"Val, Danny is Phantom he is half ghost." Tucker told her sadly as her wavy hair moved in the breeze as her green eyes showed disbelief.
"No way Danny is Phantom!" She yelled infuriated by the fact they are lying to her.
"No, you moron! Danny is Phantom and he helped many." Sam yelled back only for her voice to soften at the mention of his name.
"What about-"
"That was not him Val he was being controlled, the mayor was overshadowed, and the part when he attacked your suit he knew you were not in it." Tucker tried to convince her.
"What about that dog!" She snarled thinking of the green pooch that ruined everything.
"That was not his dog Val he had no control over him."
"How can you be so oblivious!" Sam yelled as Tucker tried to stop her.
"Guys, focus we need to worry about Danny!" Jazz yelled coming to her sensing with her eyes blazed.
"All three of them looked at the oldest with shock before shutting up.
"Could he be in the ghost zone?" Tucker asked.
"What about his enemies?" Sam retorted.
"He has friends too." Tucker retorted back.
"I know!" Jazz yelled brightening a bit.
"What?" Valerie asked still shocked about Danny.
"The Fenton Boomerang!" She yelled running to Casper High to get her car as the teenagers ran behind her with determination.
