Hey, Guys! This is the updated ending! It's not that much different, but I've added more detail and extended some conversations. Thank you so much. Seriously, you guys are all amazing and I'm just so thankful for all the reviews and for the fact that you actually read this cheesy cheese. I realised this is a long chapter for me. Most of my chapters are like 1000-2000, but this has gone over 3000. It could be because this is the final chapter so I'm doing a lot of talking out of excitement and tears. I'm so bad. When I was rewriting this chapter, I reread it and I started crying. That is a low. I cried at my own story. Saddest person here! Shoot me with all your ectoblasts! There have been some new review responses added to the bottom as well! I left the original method from the old chapter at the bottom because it's kind of sweet and some of it's still relevant. Also, it kind of brings back the old times when I was writing this story. Anyway, thank you! Thank you all!

Thank you to FlyingGekko and others, who I haven't been able to spot an email for, for following this. When I started writing this, I never expected to even get one follower let alone 20.

The Talent - Sorry for such a big delay. I guess that was a fair point. OUR BANTER WILL REMAIN IMMORTAL THOUGH! I tried to make last chapter quite conflicting as Danny is quite conflicted, like me! Of course! Danny & Co have always pulled through. I've always wanted to say someone & Co and now I get to! Yes! I wanted to include something involving Sam and Danny's relationship when I started this story and it developed into this.

Coin (Guest) - Thank you! Maybe Danny does have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. That would be quite cool. There are a few moments that hint this is Post Phantom Planet. Some of the points in this hints it has to be post PP. One of the major things that hints it's post PP is that Valerie isn't trying to kill Danny even though he's in his ghost form.

Sar Wint - His rant was in all fairness a bit humourous. I probably tried hard on that chapter, don't particularly remember much of it though.

DPSMTF1177 - Thank you :3 I pushed my imagination to the limits with this story.

You Can't Change the Past so Just Continue to the Future

~Danny POV~

"What do you mean, Danny?" She moves closer, but I quickly restore the distance, "Danny if it's about your injury, then you'll be fine, you'll pull through!"

"No! I won't! I'm dying! I won't ever recover! All because of that stupid portal!" I yell at her before stopping again. Damn it! I need to get out of here before I tell her anything else. I glance around. No way I can get to him from here, but luckily we only have one surrounding city for a few miles and the one that we do have is abandoned! I'm sorry. As much as I don't particularly want to die alone, I don't want anyone to see what I might become. I fly trying to make it impossible for Valerie to keep up, but she's upgraded her board to be a lot more challenging to abandon her.

"Danny! What do you mean?" She continues to pursue me. How can I shake her off? My injury stings my chest. What's happening? Before, I know it my legs reappear and I'm falling. What's happened to my ghost form? I look behind me. People are taking photos of me or at least were, but now they're moving out of the way. Of course. My ghost form wants me to die so he can be complete. My hand jolts round to my injury as the pain becomes unbearable. No! Not yet! I can't die yet! I can't die here. The whole of my eyes begin to grow green and I feel a sudden surge of energy. This again? No! Now's not the time to complain. I try my best to use the energy to fly up and away and strangely it works. The rings appear around my waste and quickly change my body from human to ghost. I fly up, maybe a little to quickly and try and stop myself from heading into the clouds. So fast. I can't fully control my powers, but it should be enough. I head towards the abandoned city trying not to look back. However, I can't help myself and I glance back one last time to see Valerie looking at me. Her eyes are full of it. The emotion people call sorrow. I wonder what emotion I will have after death. I hope it's something more peaceful. I hope my ghost side is peaceful. I wonder if I'll still have even a little consciousness after he takes over.

"Of course you will," A voice perks up as I land or crash into the city. I turn to see 'Basil' floating just in front of me, "Oh you can see me! That's cool, you have a keen eye!"

"Why do you always appear when I want to be alone?" I yell from the top of my lungs.

She lets her feet touch the ground, "Because that is the only time you're alone. Now let us talk."

"I don't want to." I answer quietly.

"I probably won't be able to talk with you again." She responds.

Watching her, I ask her, "How did you die?" I figure she probably won't tell me.

Unexpectedly, she gives me a helpful answer for once, "I can't answer that, Danny. As much as I would love to tell you all about me, I can't really remember much. You would have to ask Dr. Basil that. I have a feeling she knows. I think she blames herself."

"What's your relationship with her?"

She surprises me again, "We're twins."

"Why are you answering my questions?" I rub my eyes to make sure I'm not imagining things, but she's still there. I doubt hallucinating would surprise me by this point.

"Because, if I confuse you anymore, I think the ghost you will win." She moves closer to me and brings me into a hug, "Danny, please forgive Sam. I know you love her. Don't let this ruin it. I mean, I know your humanity is on the line, but if I could do anything to change the past I would make it so I didn't say what I did to my sister. I can't even remember it, but I know it's hurt her deeply." She releases me and turns away, "Now go, my consciousness is fading."

"Basil!" I yell and move toward her, but I'm pushed back. I remember what happens in the dream and decide that it's best to leave her for now. The only way to help her is to hear Basil's story from Amanda and hope that it's helps her recover. I fly away and head back to Amity Park. It's ok. Just don't let anyone see you. I turn invisible and laugh slightly. I could have done that earlier. It may have also helped that a lot of the troublesome people were searching for me outside of Amity Park.

I return to my hospital room to see Amanda looking desperately for me, "Dr. Basil?" I turn back into my human form so she can see me and sit down on my bed.

"Where on Earth have you been?" She yells trying to act angry, but she quickly breaks into tears. I understand now. When she sees me, she thinks of her sister. I've been so selfish. She rushes to the bed and stops. It's my turn I guess.

I wrap my arms around her, "I'm sorry for worrying you," I pat her on the head, "It's not your fault. There was something I had to do."

"What was it?" She's trembling. She's fragile, just like a child.

I look at her, "I know it might hurt, but can you tell me about your sister?"

"My sister? How do you know about her?" She backs away.

I smile slightly, "I met her. She told me to ask you."

She moves closer again, "You saw my sister? Nonsense! She disappeared years ago!"

"She didn't disappear. She just has a weak presence. You're just so focused on blaming yourself, that you can't see her." For once, I'm beginning to understand. I guess this is simpler than maths.

"But it is my fault. If I hadn't been so silly and immature, she would still be alive." She turned away from me and desperately wipes at the continuously flowing mess of tears.

"What did happen?"

Still looking away from me, she sighs, "My sister and I did everything together. We didn't have many other friends so we tended to stick together. However, it didn't last." Amanda froze up for a minute, "I was 6 when it happened and we were playing catch, but I hadn't realised how close we were getting to the road. Our parent's weren't watching, they were too busy chatting to someone else's parents. Hailey threw me the ball and I didn't manage to catch it. She laughed at me. I knew she was just acting how older siblings act," She laughed at herself slightly for being so pathetic, "Out of annoyance, I threw the ball a bit too far, on purpose, and Hailey ran to get it. It had gone on to the road and she picked it up and was grinning. I tried to warn her to tell her to come off the road, but it was too late. If only I hadn't been so silly. If only I hadn't thrown it so far. If only..."

"That's ridiculous." I stand up, "Like hell you should blame yourself for something like that. Even Hailey understands by this point that it wasn't your fault!"

"But, just before she disappeared, she blamed me!" She yells at me. Her knees give way and she collapses to them.

I go to return the yells, "She-" I hesitate, "Argh! If only you could see her to hear it from her yourself!"

Before, I can continue, Sam comes running in, "Danny, here you are!" I look at her, "What's up? What was with you? Apparently you said some weird stuff to Valerie!"

I run to her and hug her, nearly knocking her over in the process, "I'm sorry, Sam. I'm an idiot. I'm such a big idiot. Please forgive me." I manage to keep the tears in, though.

"What? What's happening?" Sam catches a glance of Amanda, who's crying and calms slightly, "Danny, what's happening?" I don't answer straight away, instead I grab her hand and lead her to the hospital bed, where I sit her down. I then sit myself next to her without releasing her hand.

I smile slightly, "There's something I need you to know, Sam." I hesitate slightly as I feel a lump rise in my throat. However, I fight through it, "I'm dying. It's not because of this injury. It's because I'm a half-ghost. I guess we screwed up." I laugh, but I can feel Sam tensing up quickly.

"What do you mean, Danny? Don't joke with me like that!" She takes another look at me, but she can tell that I am being 100% serious, "Why? If only I hadn't told you to enter that portal in the first place!" She pushes her head into my chest as if by doing this she can hide the tears.

"I'm sure it will be fine Sam. We've always managed to pull through no matter what after all." I rub her head, "And even if we don't, it will be fun while it lasts."

Sam looks me in the eyes before punching me in the stomach but not too hard, "Damn you and your cheesy lines!" But she can't help grinning a little. I bring her into an embrace and gently place a kiss on her forehead. The embrace doesn't last long though as my family, Dani, Valerie and Tucker burst into the room. They all rush to hug me as Sam attempts to move out of the way. I don't let her. I keep her tightly in an embrace.

"Danny, we were so worried!" Jazz starts, she's already crying. Despite how annoying she is, she does care about me.

"Danny!" Dad just sobs covering me in tears and a bit of snot. I never thought that he would manage to accept me for who I am, but he never cared about what I was because he loves me.

"Sorry for being a jerk, Danny!" Tucker yells. He's not crying, but that's to be expected of him. Tucker does care, but he's just got a weird way of showing it.

"Danny, don't do that again!" Mum tries to tell me off, but it's too soft and I can tell she's just happy to have found me. Mum always tries way too hard for me and Jazz.

"What would I do without you, Danny?" Dani moans into my shoulder. She sees me as a big brother and I need to start acting like one for her.

They all pull away before Valerie speaks, "You owe me an explanation, Danny." Danny. That's my name. It feels weirdly nice hearing them say it and, as much as before Sam arrived I could hold back the tears, with everyone else gathered, I can't hold back my tears. The fact all these people are here for me is enough to put me at ease. These people are my friends and family. I can explain myself and I do.

"I may not have long left to live," I started and straight way people begin to protest, "It's not because of this injury. It's because of the accident a while back. The one which gave me these powers." I see a few eyes widen and some jaws drop, "I may slowly become less human and more like a ghost. I don't know if I'll be a good ghost or a bad ghost once I myself lose consciousness, but I have a feel that you guys will not give up on me even if I turn bad." I laugh slightly.

"Surely there must be a way, Danny!" Valerie pipes up first.

"Yeah, we always find a way, Danny!" Tucker was already trying to brainstorm some ideas.

"We won't let you die!" Jazz desperately grabbed an imaginary dying Danny and tried to pull him back from the gateway.

Before answering the continuous flow of protests, I turn to Sam, who I can tell is still blaming herself for all of this and smile, "Sam, it's not your fault. It's not like you knew this was going to happen. You just wanted to see something cool and I guess it was pretty cool."

"I never asked you this, but did it hurt when you became a half ghost?" Sam frowns slightly.

I lean forward and push a strand of hair that was being rebellious behind her ear, "I guess it felt kind of tingly, but it never hurt." I reassure her before glancing at Amanda who had hidden slightly so the attention wouldn't be taken away from me, "I think this is what Hailey wanted to tell you."

"So the balance within you has placed you at an advantage, Danny," Everyone immediately turns to see a small black haired ghost standing near the window smiling, "Thank you, Danny, but this is something I have to do myself." She moves towards Amanda and crouches in front of her, "I'm sorry for blaming you. It was never your fault. You even tried to save me. I need you to understand that Amanda. It's like Danny said though, becoming a half ghost is painless."

"Really?" Amanda wipes the tears from her eyes, "It didn't hurt?"

"I felt and still feel no pain." Hailey smiles reassuring Amanda before hugging her.

"There's one thing I don't understand, Hailey. I became a half ghost because of the ectoplasm in the portal, but you were just, you know." I interrupt.

Hailey turns to me, "It was your parent's car, Danny." Eyes immediately fall on my parents, "Don't worry, it's because they braked that my injuries weren't severe and it's thanks to them that I'm still here. I may have died and become a ghost by this point, but it was the ectoplasm that spilled from their car that made me a half ghost. I would have died without that ectoplasm."

"Hailey, you're disappearing!" Sam points out.

"Well, it's not like there's any point in me staying in this world. Not everyone becomes a ghost you know." Hailey releases Amanda and steps backwards.

"Wait! You can't go!" Amanda begins to protest, "I need you!"

"Do you, though?" Hailey quietens Amanda, "You're stronger than you think." She turns to face all of us, "Goodbye, everyone and thank you for making my life so fun." She laughs before fully disappearing. Amanda's tears flood her face.

"No! Hailey!" She reaches out, but it's too late, "Don't go!"

I grab her from behind and pull her into a hug, "She's finally achieved peace, Dr. Basil." I smile, "Isn't it time for you to achieve what you want?" Amanda stayed like that for a while and while Sam was a tad jealous of Amanda, she allowed it. Of course, Sam would never admit it to me.

It took a while, but eventually Amanda stopped mourning and was able to continue with her life. Hailey had affected me as well. I felt like I finally understood something about life. Life should be enjoyed to the fullest. I'm sorry this is cheesy. A few years passed after this incident and I'm still half alive. Me and Sam still argue, but that will always happen. We're both way too stubborn. I guess you're all wondering on whether or not we got revenge on Skulker, Nocturn and Desiree and I suppose I should tell you all about it.

Shortly after I had fully recovered, there was a call saying that Skulker was in Amity Park. We had told everyone to contact me when they heard of his whereabouts or the other twos. I quickly flew towards him followed by Tucker, Dani and Sam. Once there, we set our plan in motion. When you leave me out of commission for such a long period of time, what do you expect me to do; sit back and relax? I'm too much of a busybody for that by this point. Tucker quickly handed me something and I moved to place it on Skulker's arm, while invisible. Meanwhile, Dani and Sam distracted Skulker from tracking me down. However, they tried to keep an eye out for signs to alert them of my whereabouts. From this method, we quickly managed to place it on Skulker's arm. Then, the real fun started. We all moved towards Tucker. This is when we began messing with Skulker's suit. Dani started filming and we forced him to some stupid dancing for a while before we made him fly back into the ghost zone.

Next on our list was Desiree. She was easy. The moment she appeared, I wished for her to spend a day on a date with Dash. It was fun watching her do so. I even began to feel bad for her by the end of the day, but she did nearly lock me in a dream forever.

Finally, there was Nocturn. He was the trickiest because he rarely ever showed up, but we got lucky. When he showed up, we were ready. After locating his hiding place, all of us except Tucker, my Mum and my Dad, who suddenly decided they wanted to come, which in a way made it easier as Mum was an excellent ghost hunter. Dad was- well, he had the enthusiasm. Tucker was left to try to deactivate the Satellite Tower with them looking after his behind. The rest of us, Jazz, Sam, Dani, Valerie and me, entered his dream and began wreaking havoc after the tower was beginning to shut down. We became Nocturn's worst nightmare and let's just say it would be a while before he would be coming back.

That's pretty much it. Life was finally back to normal.

"Beware! I am the Box Ghost!" Everyone sighs as we hear the usual ghost saying the usual phrase. I quickly transform into my ghost form and defeat the Box Ghost in one swift attack. Tucker chucks me the Fenton Thermos and the Box Ghost is absorbed into it.

The End.

Yup. This is unfortunately the end. I know it's a bit rushed and sudden (and cheesy), but this is it. I realised that I was putting it off because I knew there was only going to be a couple chapters left at maximum, but I also realised that if I didn't finish it with this chapter it wouldn't ever end so I ended it on this chapter. I know this chapter is probably too centered around Hailey (Basil) and Amanda, but I wanted to tie their story up aswell. For those who didn't understand it; Danny's human side is too strong for him to fully die and even if he did, he would be peaceful. Hailey passed on. She managed to allow her ghost half to let her pass on because it was pointless them staying. Sorry if I put "he" instead of "I" during the chapter. Thank you for reading this story. I hope the ending wasn't too disappointing for you. Please review. I probably won't be doing any other stories, except one-shots and they'll probably be of manga's I've read.

TheTalent - I kind of responded to you by Private Message, but thank you again anyway!

Ghostgirl8977 - OMG! Thank you so much! I am unworthy of such praise!

RoseAnna1177 - Thank you! It's fine, I'm surprised people still remembered the story.
