This chapter isn't done yet, but I decided that I should get it uploaded. I might get it finished, I might not. (I changed obsessions. [Hence, my pen name.])

DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own Danny Phantom or Kim Possible.

They all had sat down to talk about the still-sleeping Danny. "So, you knew about this, right?"

Sam leaned back with her arms crossed. "Of course I knew. I'm his best friend. I also knew he didn't want anyone else to know." The Goth was now glaring sharply at Kim.

"So, your best friend is dead and decided to be a ghostly superhero. Sounds weird, but cool."

She moved her sharp gaze to Ron, who cowered a little from it. "First of all, he's not dead. His DNA was infused with ectoplasm in a lab accident. He's still very much alive."

Ron scratched his head. "So... he's half-dead?"

Dr. Possible rubbed his chin. "I don't think someone could be literally half-dead."

"Like I just said, he's not dead. But if somebody could be half-dead, we have a shining, sleepy example right next to me." Sam ran her fingers through Danny's pretty, yet messy, snow-white hair.

Kim noticed the loving way Sam was looking at Danny. "You really care about him, don't you?"

Sam, looked up at her, surprised, then blushed. "Yeah. He's so clueless, though."

Danny finally started to stir. He sat up slowly at first, rubbing one of his sleep-filled eyes. The twins immediately ran over to him.

They looked up at the groggy Phantom, who, in turn, looked around the room. It only took him a moment to notice all the eyes that were on him. "What?" Sam made a quick motion to his hair. "Sam?" Still giving her a confused expression, he pulled his bangs to his face. His groggy confusion was quickly replaced with panic and his eyes widened. "Uh... Sam...?"

Sam suddenly broke down in tears, shocking everyone. "I'm so sorry, Danny! I tried to stop them!" Ignoring his panic, Danny pulled his friend into a comforting hug, stroking her ebony-black hair to soothe her. Sam cried into the hybrid's shoulder, ruining the white collar of his jumpsuit with her tears. Danny whispered comforting words, calming her. Sam pulled herself together and pulled out of the hug. As soon as they broke apart, his panic consumed him, and he quickly did the only thing to break the stares, and fell out of the visible spectrum.

"Hey, where'd he go?!" Ron got up and approached the couch.

"Can you blame him? He did just wake up to his biggest secret being blown."

Kim turned back to Sam. "Why is he keeping this a secret though? Wouldn't it be easier on him if more people knew?"

Sam pinched the bridge of her nose. "Look, Danny doesn't like attention like that. He's shy about that sort of thing, which is why he'd rather be a nobody at school. He never even told his own parents! Not to mention, a ridiculous government agency who would do who-knows-what if they ever found out." Sam turned away and remained quiet.

"Regardless of his reasons, he should have at least told his parents. Who knows what these powers of his could be doing to him," Dr. Possible crossed his arms. "If he really is alive as you said he is, then these powers could be hurting him, even killing him. It would best if he had them tested or at least looked at by a professional."

Sam turned back to them. "Yeah, like there's a professional who specializes in ghost hybrids."

Dr. Possible took a moment to respond to that. "Well, maybe a ghost expert then."

Kim then jumped in. "What about his parents? Aren't they ghost experts?"

Dr. Possible smiled at his daughter. "Yeah, that could work."

Sam rolled her eyes. "Did you forget about the whole 'ghost hunting freaks' thing? Besides, if anyone wants to tear Phantom apart molecule by molecule, it's them. It's become second nature for Mr. Fenton when he sees Phantom."

Kim and her dad traded glances. "They are his parents though... If they knew, they would never have said it."

"Kim's right, it's a parent's job to support their child."

Sam just rolled her eyes at them. "True enough, but that doesn't always happen and that's what he's afraid of." She looked back towards the couch where Danny was sitting. "Why don't you tell then yourself, Danny? They seem pretty cool with your powers, but you're going to have to tell them why, not me."

Ron looked back over the couch. "He's still here?"

"Yup. The couch is still sunken in."

After a moment's hesitation, Danny reappeared, still sitting on the couch, his right leg crossed over his left and his arms crossed. He rubbed the back of his neck before speaking. "Sorry about that... Just please don't say anything."

His eyes seemed pleading, and what spoke the most was that they were laced with fear. Dr. Possible found himself with an ultimatum. Either he let his parents in on the secret and hope they're understanding, or he can let things continue on as they have. He took a few minutes to think it over before sighing. "All right. Although I don't condone lying to one's parents, I also understand your reasons. I won't tell them, but I hope that you will sooner rather than later."

Danny's face instantly brightened as he leaped into the air. "Yes!"

Sam then turned to Kim and Ron. "You guys too, okay?"

Kim hesitantly nodded. "Sure, I can keep a secret."

"Don't worry, DP. Your secret is safe with me!"

The twins then traded mischievous smiles. "Yeah, we won't tell..." "If you give us an autograph." "Maybe a picture, too."

Danny looked down at the sly little twins and sighed. "I guess I can agree to that."

"Oh! Me too!" Kim then glared at Ron. "What? How often do you get a ghost's autograph? Besides, Wade wanted one too, right?" He then turned back to Danny. "It's cool, right?"

"Yeah, sure." After a few minutes of autographs, the twins pulled out a camera. "Okay. Hey, Ron. Get our picture?"

"Sure thing!" He grabbed the camera and clipped a shot of them with Danny floating between them.

As Jim looked over the picture, Tim decided to ask some questions. "So, you can fly, go invisible, go intangible, and shoot energy beams. What else can you do?" Jim looked up from the camera and asked his own question. "Can you possess people?"

"Yup. Although, we prefer to call it 'overshadowing.' 'Possess' is a little disturbing, don't you think?"

"Ooh! Possess someone here!"

Danny raised his eyebrow at that. "Right now?"

"Yeah! Go possess Ron!"

"Hey!" Ron started to back up. "Why me?"

"'Cause it'll be funny!" Danny grinned at him.

"Huh? Wait-" Before he could even finish, Danny phased into him.

Ron shook for a moment before his eyes flashed green. "And there you have it." He turned to the others in the living room.

"Get out of him! You could hurt him!" Kim's demand was met with a defensive gesture on Danny's part.

"Overshadowing doesn't harm the host... unless I actually wanted to hurt him, of course. Which I don't. I do this to Tucker all the time."

"Doesn't mean he's any better for it." The overshadowed Ron and Sam traded glances, but were cut off by Danny jumping around.

"Whoa!" He scrambled around for whatever was crawling around under his shirt. Rufus quickly popped up around his shirt collar which gave Danny a start. "What... is that?" He grabbed Rufus in his hands. ("Hi!")

"That's Rufus. He's a naked mole rat. Ron keeps him in his pocket."

Danny scratched his head. "Interesting taste in pets."

"Says the guy who plays fetch with a ghost dog."

Danny turned to Sam, who was now wearing a playful expression. "I'd much rather that than have him drag me all over the place like normal."

"The fun part is that he likes you... He usually growls at us."

"Fetch with a ghost dog" "sounds awesome!" The twins high fived. "What other ghosts do you know?"

Kim crossed her arms. "Could you get out of Ron first, though? I'm sure he'd like his body back."

"Fine." He quickly phased out of Ron and took his place back on the couch.

Ron wobbled a little, then shook his head vigorously. "What a trip..."

"That spacey feeling will wear off in a minute."

Ron quickly took in his surroundings again. "I hope other ghosts have a better sense of personal space than you."

Danny rolled his eyes. "No such luck."

Sam chuckled a little. "Come to think of it, though, ghosts don't usually fall back on that one."

"Walker did."

"That's one."

"Poindexter."

"Two."

"Plasmius."

"Okay, I get it. But still, most ghosts usually have some weird gimmick."

Kim rubbed her forehead. "That sounds awfully familiar."

Ron rubbed his chin. "Like Monkey Fist's monkey ninjas or... or Duff Killigan's exploding golfballs!"

Danny laughed. "Yeah, but nothing beats the Box Ghost."

"Box Ghost?" Ron looked down at Rufus, who wore an equally confused expression.

Danny cleared his throat and then raised his hands in a creepy fashion. "BEWARE for I am the Box Ghost, here to destroy you with corrugated cardboard and the occasional roll of bubble wrap!"

Sam held her stomach in a laugh. "Pretty good."

Kim rolled her eyes. "He sounds annoying."

"Oh, he is," both Danny and Sam answered.

Jim and Tim were busy on the floor messing with one of their little inventions. "He sounds" "Like a total loser."

Kim looked sternly at her brothers. "And what are you doing?"

"Trying to wire our new energy modulator."

Kim raised her eyebrow. "To do what?"

Jim raised it to Danny. "This!" They pressed a button and the handheld device let out a high frequency tone.

"What?" Seconds later the bright white ring appeared around Danny. "What the?!" The ring began to separate, but Danny stopped it. "So that's what happened."

"Yup." "Awww."

Danny crossed his arms and eyed the pouting twins. "Sorry, but that's not going to work as well when I'm awake."

"We just wanted to properly test our energy modulator." "Yeah, we already tied in the signature we got of your ectoplasm." They held up the vial.

"Sorry, but I'm not your science project." Danny grabbed for the vial but Tim pulled it away.

"No way."

Danny started to get angry and stood up. "Hand it over."

He grabbed for it again, but Tim tossed it to Jim. "As if. Where else are we going to get ghost hybrid ectoplasm?"

"Actually, I think you should hand it over to Danny. I'm sure you wouldn't want people messing with your DNA."

Ron jumped off the couch and Rufus followed. "Just what I was thinkin', KP. I mean, just think about it. Remember that Drakken-cloning thing? Sick and wrong!"

Jim and Tim looked at each other. "Hicka-bicka-boo?" "Hoo-sha!" They broke out in a run to either side but Ron was able to grab Jim's ankle in a dive and they both slammed to the floor. Unfortunately, this caused Jim to drop the vial, but Danny was able to catch it before it hit the ground, somersaulting as he did so. "Nice catch, Danny," Sam complimented. "Thanks," Danny replied, getting to his feet. Tim turned toward his bro with Rufus hot on his tail. "Oh, man!" He attempted to snatch the vial back from Danny, but Danny flew up, just out of his reach.

"Give it back!"

"No way. I don't appreciate being treated like an experiment."
