Oh. My. Gosh.

LAST CHAPTER!!! IT'S DONE!!!

:D

---

The whole room was in shocked silence for a moment before anyone could speak.

“Huh…wha-“ Valerie stammered.

Sam, Jazz, and Tucker immediately took their positions in front of their unconscious friend.

“I know that this is very strange and all, but…” Jazz began.

“Heck, yeah it is!” Valerie shouted in agreement.

“But,” Sam picked up “Danny is…he’s half-ghost. He’s Danny Fenton and Danny Phantom. He became half-ghost in the Ghost Portal accident and has kept it a secret since then.”

“But…I-I saw them in the same room!” Lancer stuttered.

“Danny can duplicate himself. But only for an hour or so. Then, he gets too tired and has to become one again.” Tucker answered.

“Well, that would certainly explain a few things.” The teacher noted. It would explain the identical papers, the similar movements, and how they would talk at the same time or sound exactly alike.

The government agent stared at the unconscious boy nervously before returning his gaze to the group, who had now begun to notice him.

“Sir, please don’t tell anyone about Danny.” Sam begged, something she did not normally do.

“If anyone knew they might…” Tucker began, but trailed. “They might hurt him. And the Guys in White would be all over him with painful tests and no one would ever treat him the same again.”

The agent nodded in understanding. “This will be kept strictly confidential. The world is not ready for something like this, especially not the Guys in White morons.”

“Wait. Morons? But aren’t they part of the government?” Jazz inquired.

“Unfortunately, yes. It was a requirement.” The man responded, seemingly irritated.

“So, no one will know about Danny?” Sam asked with hope in her voice.

The man shook his head grimly. “There are a few people that will need to be informed in order for us to be able to protect him and restrain the Guys in White. But I assure you, they will not be able to use it against him.”

Everyone in the room sighed. Just then, Danny began to stir. It took all of two seconds for the group to rush over to him.

“Guys, back off a little. You’re going to give him a heart attack. This will be hard enough as it is.” Jazz urged.

Other than Sam, Tucker, and herself, everyone backed away a few feet.

Slowly, Danny’s blue eyes started to slide open. Sam smiled at him.

“Hey, sleepy.” She greeted, trying to calm him down before the big news was laid on.

The half-ghost smiled back at her and tried to get up. His face twisted into a grimace and he clutched his side in pain before Sam pushed him gently back down.

“Easy there, buddy.” Tucker urged. “You took a pretty hard hit.”

“It wasn’t that bad.” He slurred. Suddenly, a look of realization dawned on Danny’s face. His brain kicked into overdrive. They seemed like they were nervous. Too nervous just for him passing out. His eyes widened as, against his friends’ protests, he brought his hand up to his face. No white glove. Uh-oh.

The group noticed panic wash over the young boy’s face as he noticed this change. Danny looked like he was about to start hyperventilating.

“Woah, calm down Danny.” Jazz tried, noting her brother’s state. It didn’t work.

“But…I’m…do they…how…” The half-ghost stammered uncontrollably.

“Yeah, Danny, they know.” Jazz answered.

However, this had caused Danny to breathe even faster and then pass out again.

“That went well.” Tucker said in bright sarcasm.

---

The government agent had left as well as Lancer. Now, only Danny’s family and friends remained, surrounding his bed while he lay there unconscious. They had been doing that for over an hour. He really took it hard. Finally, he woke up again.

“Please tell me you’re not going to pass out again.” Sam joked with a smile on her face. Maybe it would keep him calm.

“Huh?” He breathed, not really getting it at first. Then he remembered everything. Instinctively, he shot up in bed…making him fall off of it in his frantic rush. He was on the blue-carpeted floor, looking up at the curious faces of his parents and Valerie.

“Yep, that’s definitely Danny.” Valerie confirmed with a giggle. He always was clumsy.

Now, Danny looked completely baffled. Why were they just…standing there?

Sam, Tucker, and Jazz helped him off of the floor.

“I-I-I don’t understand.” He stated. “I thought you guys would be freaking out by now.”

He was answered by a crushing hug from his parents. He enjoyed it for a little bit…until he couldn’t get any oxygen.

“Mom…Dad…can’t…breathe.” He gasped from within the embrace. His parents let go, still smiling like madmen.

“Don’t worry, dude, we told them everything.” Tucker informed.

“And we couldn’t be more proud.” Jack finished.

The boy let a massive smile take over his face. Then, he looked over to Valerie. She was smirking.

“Looks like I know where you keep disappearing to, now.” She teased.

Danny smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Yeah. Heh, heh, about that…I’m…sorry. I should have told you a long time ago, but…” He apologized.

“Don’t be. I wouldn’t have told me either.” She admitted, trying to hide her anger at herself for what she had done to him earlier.

Jazz smiled as she watched. “Group hug!” She called.

Without protest, they all heaped together.

It was time for school. Danny walked down the halls with his girlfriend and his two best friends by his side. They all walked to class smiling.

As they went, students stared at how Danny and Sam were holding hand. There were multiple cries of “I win!” and “Finally! Okay, dude, pay up.” In those few moments, there was a lot of money exchanged.

The couple giggled.

“I think I know who the hot couple today is.” Valerie joked.

“Seriously, this is the biggest news since…like, ever!” Tucker added.

The group entered the classroom, where Mr. Lancer was waiting. After everyone had entered and class had started, the teacher spoke up.

“Mr. Fenton, may I please speak with you?” Lancer requested.

Danny’s previously happy expression faded just slightly as anxiety took its place. He stood up and walked to the educator.

“Class, I will only be gone a minute.” Lancer warned before stepping out into the hall with Danny. He turned to the young boy who stared back at him with curious eyes. “I guess you already know what this is about.”

Danny nodded, keeping his eyes on Mr. Lancer.

“I…think that I owe you an apology.” Lancer amended.

The young half-ghost look surprised by this. He hadn’t expected his teacher to say that.

“Wait…you’re apologizing to me?”

“Yes.” Lancer answered. “Now that I realize what has been happening, I guess it seems a bit unfair.” Danny just blinked in shock. “So, I have worked out a system. I will allow you to leave to fight ghosts and I’ll be more…lenient with the homework, but if your grades fall beneath Cs, I’ll have to keep you after school to get you caught up. Understand?”

Danny nodded rapidly as a wide grin split across his face. The teacher smiled slightly as well.

“Now, go back to class.” He ordered. Lancer could have sworn that the boy was about to lift off of his feet and fly in there.

The educator shook his head at the good spirit the boy was showing before entering the class himself.

The sun was now setting and, on a hill, sat Danny and Sam.

“So, looks like things are starting to change for the better.” Danny stated.

“Much better.” Sam agreed.

At that moment, they both locked eyes. Identical smiles split their lips as they leaned in and kissed. It took seemingly endless minutes before they broke apart.

“Definitely better.” Danny agreed, his forehead still resting against his girlfriend’s.

She giggled as she backed away a bit so that they were only holding hands. “You thinking what I’m thinking?”

“I think so.” The half-ghost replied with a grin. He stood up, changing into his ghost form, and picked her up bridal style. She laughed softly as he did this and took off.

They were soaring along for a few minutes when Valerie flew by them, Tucker on the back of her board. She laughed.

“Hey, lovebirds!” The techno-geek greeted as they flew parallel to each other.

“For once, we can’t really deny that!” Sam agreed.

“I think I like it that way.” Danny commented, looking lovingly at his girlfriend as they all flew into the rising night.

For once, the world seemed right.

Yes. It's all over now. No sequal. No anything. It's done.

I sincerely hope that you enjoyed this story.

Now, I can move on to my other story. I already have the first chapter written. Now, I'm just debating over when to put it up.
