Danny... You're a GHOST!

Okay, okay, I know I haven't been updating my stuff much, but I've got huge writer's block, and I keep getting distracted! Plus, I managed to get a hold of 'Mouse, but I haven't heard from her since then! So I swear, it's not my fault!

Okay, so it kinda is, but still. Anyway, here you go. I'll meet you at the bottom.

Tucker and Sam waited outside the portal while their best friend walked inside. Tucker wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but he knew better than to state his opinion during something like this. For the first few minutes, the two friends didn't hear anything, but then, out of no where, a bright flash of green light came from the portal, and they heard Danny screaming from the inside.

"Danny!" Sam yelled as the light died and she rushed inside of the portal.

"Sam, wait!" Tucker called fruitlessly. Sam ignored him, and rushed to Danny. But looking down at her friend, she noticed something different about him. Like that white hair peeking out from under his arm...

But before she could ponder this much, a green glow flickered in the distance of them tunnel, and it appeared to get closer and closer.

Sam gasped, and dragged Danny out of the portal as fast as she could. It's a good thing she did, because the second they were out of the thing, the whole portal lit up green, and they saw it swirling around and around. But Sam didn't pay much attention to that, and neither did Tucker. They were staring down at their friend in horror. Because he didn't look like Danny anymore. His hair was white, his jumpsuit was black, and when he finally opened his eyes, they glowed green.

"Oh god, Tucker." Sam finally managed to choke out. "He's a ghost!"

Danny had never experienced real pain before. Sure, he had been beaten up more than once, but that was nothing compared to the agony he had just felt. As far as he could tell, he didn't even have a body anymore. All he felt was pain, resonating throughout his every molecule. Finally, though, he managed to open his eyes. He blinked a few times, his head swimming as he noticed two figures standing over him. And then he heard something. A sentence of some sort.

"Oh god, Tucker." The voice whispered. "He's a ghost!"

A ghost? Where? Well, wouldn't his dad be happy. The dude had, after all, been looking for proof that ghosts existed for his entire life. But, why would the figures be staring at him if there was a ghost in the room? Unless...

Panic and horror swept through the teen as he realized the truth. Shooting up, he ran, or flew? to the table where his mom kept her mirror. And he stared at it for what seemed like forever.

His hair was now snow white.

His eyes had turned a bright, glowing green.

He was floating five feet off of the ground, and his legs had disappeared into a misty tail.

There was a strange white aura surrounding him.

He had to be dead.

There was no other explanation for these strange phenomenons. But, if he was dead, then where was his body? He looked around, but only saw his friends staring at him in disbelief. Suddenly, it hit him. He was now the thing that his parents hated, hunted, and destroyed without mercy.

He was a ghost.

"No." He gasped to himself. "I - I can't be. No. I CAN'T BE DEAD!" He screamed in fear.

At that moment, there was flash of white, and two halos appeared around Danny's waist. The traveled in opposite directions, over his new ghost body, leaving behind his human one.

"What?" He gasped looking down at himself. He looked to his friends. He could tell from their expressions that they knew no more than he did.

Then, Danny knew.

"I'm half-dead." He said to himself. "No. I'm half-ghost."

And with that, he fainted.

When Danny awoke, he was laying in his bed with his family and his friends staring at him.

"Danny!" His mother gasped as he opened his eyes. "Honey, are you okay?"

"I – I'm fine, Mom. But... what happened?" He asked, staring at Tucker and Sam.

"You were showing your friend the portal." His dad told him. "You were standing right next to it. All of the sudden, the portal let loose a bunch of ghost energy. You and your friends got blasted, but you got most of it."

"I -" He started, knowing this wasn't what had actually happened. Then he looked at Tucker and Sam, and realized that they had lied so that his parents wouldn't know. "I'm feeling better now. Can I talk to Tuck and Sam alone?"

His sister and parents looked at each other, but they decided to let the three be.

"Only five minutes, though." Maddie told them. "Danny needs his rest."

The door closed, but no one spoke.

After about a minute, though, he had to ask. So Danny looked at them and said, "What happened?"

"You fainted." Sam whispered, distraught. "And then Jazz came in. She saw you and asked what happened. We didn't know what to do, so we just told her that the portal had blasted you. She called your parents, and we took you to your room."

He nodded, and then asked the most important question. "Di – Did it really happen? Am I really... a ghost?"

Sam hesitated, but nodded.

"Sorry, man." Tucker told him sadly.

"It's alright." His friend sighed. "But I need you both to promise me something."

"What?" They asked in unison.

"This doesn't leave my room." He told them. "No one can know what I am. No one... not even my parents."

They nodded.

After they had left, Danny sighed and looked out the window. "Sorry." He whispered as he slowly changed, although he didn't know who he was apologizing to. "But Danny Fenton's gone. The only one left... is me. Danny Phantom."

And with that, he flew out into the sunset.

In a clock tower, far away from Danny and his family, an old man stared sadly at a scene where Danny flew away.

"Everything is as it should be." He whispered as he turned away. "Everything."

Aww, poor Danny! Well, hopefully, I'll do a little more updating soon. But don't forget to review! I can't remember to update anything if you people don't send me ideas and praise!

Oh, and just so no one's confused, this is the end of this fic. Sorry.

Penelope, over and out!
