Phew alright, better get this done before I go on holidays tomorrow. Yeah, you're probably thinking "shouldn't you be in bed early?" Well no, since everyone else hasn't even started packing yet except me. I had a hard time trying to find my goggles and then I had a guts ache so that really wasted my time -_-
Alright now, I apologize if the chapter sounds a bit "funkay" that's just because I'm in a rush to get this chapter done so I can get the stress off of my shoulders but I think you wouldn't be too surprised to see this a little late since I promised to update on a Tuesday which turned out to be Christmas day, and I also thought that we were leaving on Thursday but then I wouldn't be able to update since we would be in the car for 6 hours .
Okay, I'd better get this done before mum yells at me for being on here too late. And there's a chance this could be a little shorter than I normally promised but I'll try my best :)

Danny buried his face in regret, he knew he shouldn't have told him that but somehow, he just had to. It got the worry and stress off of his shoulders, but he wasn't sure if it relieved the stress on Phantom or piled up more. He developed a few wet soggy tears that drained down his soft tanned cheeks; he covered his face from Phantom. He didn't want Phantom to see the horror on his face.
"Danny."
Danny let out a deep sigh underneath his hands then revealed his face. His eyes were red with a few small drops of tears and his cheeks were almost a fiery red colour. Danny wiped away his tears then sniffled.
"You hate me now, don't you?"
"Hate you? Why would I hate you for admitting your feelings to someone else?"
"Because that person kidnapped you and tried to kill you and still is." Danny answered in an annoyed tone.
Phantom sighed. "I understand that you still love someone who tried to kill us, mainly me. But I'll never be mad at you. Even if you chose her over me."
Danny's leftover tears dried up as feelings of happiness and relief ran through Danny's body at a fast pace. Danny quickly grabbed Phantom and hugged him in forgiveness. Phantom shared the hug with his partner; he would do anything to make Danny happy. Even sacrifice himself.
"Phantom, I would have no idea where I would be without you."
"So, what shall we do now?" Phantom asked smiling vaguely.
"Well we still can't go back, knowing that my parents are still after us."
Phantom chuckled. "Mainly me."
"Yeah, but still…what can I say to them? I love both of you?"
Phantom thought quickly and hard, that actually was a great idea. "Danny that might just work!"
"What would work?" He frowned.
"What you just said!" Phantom exclaimed looking bright.
Danny chuckled in disbelief. "No it wouldn't."
"Yes it would! We can both go back and before your parents zap me to pieces, you can tell them that you still love Sam."
He rubbed his neck in worry. "I don't know Phantom. What if they still disagree?"
"Then kiss her. Right in front of all of us."
Danny looked down and thought of that working out. It actually pieced together perfectly!
"That's a brilliant idea Phantom! Oh man I love you!"
Danny jumped on him and smooched him which startled Phantom but then the pleasure and intimacy took him over.
Danny was about to unzip Phantom's suit when Phantom stopped him.
"Danny, we can always do it later. After we resolve this problem."
"You're right." Danny smiled. "Let's go!"
At Wisconsin was Jazz being controlled by Vlad's latest invention (see chapter 15). She had tried to stop him and save Sam but Vlad was far too much powerful to outmatch Jazz's human energy, Vlad drained the power from her and chained her to the wall next to Sam.
Vlad's plan was halfway there; he was just missing the two boys. But he was patient, very patient.
Back at Amity park, Jack and Maddie had been searching for nearly two whole days and Jack was already fast asleep while Maddie's eyes were red and in need of rest but no matter how long it took, she would never sleep until she found her son and his ghost half.
They patrolled back near where Phantom and Danny had taken off, and within an hour or so. The ghost radar detected a ghost coming from the east carrying someone. This woke up Jack and he was well and truly ready for action by the time you knew it, Maddie was already out the specter speeder and aiming her ghost weapon at the two of the boys.
"Maddie wait!"
"I need to blast him! This is my only chance!" Maddie yelled with fury and craziness
"One, you haven't slept in nearly two days. Two, if you shot Phantom then he would fall along with Danny!"
Maddie gasped in shock "My god Jack you're right! You take it from here and wait until they land. I'm going for a nap. I'm going to have to trust you to get Phantom and Danny for me."
"Don't worry sweet cakes; I'll get them both soon enough!" Jack announced with pride.
Maddie smiled then dozed off in the passenger seat while Jack leaned on the specter speeder and waited for the two boys to land.
Phantom could see a large orange figure coming into view, as well as bright silver floating vehicle right behind him. If you looked close enough, you could see something blue in there.
"There they are!"
Danny looked towards where Phantom was pointing and gasped. "Dad?"
Jack was armed and ready, as soon as those two boys touched the ground, they would obey to him and Maddie.
As they neared Jack, Phantom tried to tell Jack that he was meaning no harm but in need of a solution to this whole crisis.
"Dad!"
"Uh, he's my Dad."
"But still." Phantom whispered. "Dad! You need to stand down! We have a solution!" he called out.
"Lies! And more lies!"
Jack started blasting in almost every direction and thankfully none of them hit Phantom and Danny.
As Phantom landed, Jack lowered his weapon as he saw the guilt and regret in both their eyes. Phantom gently let Danny touch the ground with his two bare feet and explain everything thoughroughly to his father.
"Dad, let me explain everything."
"Okay, go ahead son."
After about 10 minutes of explaining the whole problem and solution to his father twice, Jack smiled and guided them home using the specter speeder while Maddie slept through it all.
Shortly after they got home, they had both realised that Sam and Jazz weren't there. After they sat down and had some food and drink, Danny asked his Dad where they had gone.
"Dad, where are Jazz and Sam?"
"Well, I think Jazz went up to Wisconsin to see if Vlad had kidnapped Sam or not, your mother and I didn't believe it so we just stook to finding you two and see if Sam was with you or if you had-" Jack coughed a little "-killed her."
"What? No! I love Sam!" Danny shouted.
Jack gasped. "You still love her? Yes my boy's back! In your face Phantom kid!"
"Uh no Dad, I still love him too."
Jack looked up with confusion, his expression made Danny and Phantom giggled. It was more still than a leave on a no windy day.
"So uh…you love them both?"
"Yes, and I want to prove that by kissing Sam but where is she?"
"Didn't you hear me before? Jazz said that Vlad could have kidnapped her, and Jazz hasn't returned yet."
"That would explain it!"
"Explain what?" both phantom and Jack asked at Danny.
"Don't you guys get it? Vlad has kidnapped Sam so he could get to me. He thinks that as soon as I realise that he's kidnapped her, I go after her which leads him into his little trap."
"Oh, okay. But why would Vlad trap you?"
"To get revenge on us. So he can finally have a half ghost so."
Phantom shrugged. "But, I don't see how that's going to happen."
"We'll just simply go according to his plan but then when he thinks he's succeeded, I'll save everyone and defeat Vlad with Phantom!"
"Um Danny, there's just one problem. What if I'm not there to help you? What if I'm in chains?"
"Then I'll just simply punch Vlad and while he recovers I'll set you free so you can help me defeat Vlad!"
Hmm it looks as if the end is near for this story but don't worry, I'll try to make it as long as possible without it sounding all stupid XD
Alright now, if I don't upload on Thursday, it's because I'm on holidays and I don't have much internet access as I do at home :) But I will try my best at keeping this updated while still on holidays ^^
Please review! ^^
