It was a warm summer day, only a week since school had let out. Danny was moving onto his junior year come fall and Jazz had graduated valedictorian. An acceptance letter from Harvard hung on their refrigerator. Danny had been the first to see it after Jazz hung it there inconspicuously one day and he had arranged a surprise party in a single morning for her. Apparently, she had been debating whether or not to go, but with both Jack and Maddie now knowing Danny's secret, she felt that she could, but had made a promise to write every day. She had already begun packing, mostly small things, simply because she couldn't contain her excitement.

Jack had been quick to accept Danny, just as Maddie had done. In fact, he wept with joy that his son was carrying on the ghost-fighting legacy and wasted no time in making an action figure of him. Danny had explained everything to them. He would tell stories all day about his various adventures as Phantom. He told them about Pariah Dark and how the ecto-skeleton was really lost to Freakshow and the Reality Gauntlet, and everything in between. However, he stopped abruptly and brushed past something when he brought up the subject of the C.A.T. Maddie had chalked this to being a story that Danny wasn't quite ready to tell yet.

Most importantly, to Jack anyway, was that Danny told them all he knew about the ghosts which frequented the area. He named ghosts like Penelope Spectra, Undergrowth, and Hotep-Ra. Oddly, Maddie had noted, Danny even had a few ghost allies. He seemed particularly fond of Frostbite, Wulf, and ghost he would only refer to as 'Danielle'. That seemed to be another story he wasn't willing to share quite yet. Most of all, he talked about Skulker; about how Skulker had always wanted to skin and display him, yet always seemed to be the first to help in a crisis. Apparently, the ghost was nothing more than a little blob of ectoplasm. Jack eventually asked Danny about who Jack had dubbed the Wisconsin Ghost. Danny shrugged that one off, too, quickly replying, 'Oh, that's just Plasmius. He and I have beef, but it's not too important'.

Since Maddie's discovery of Danny's secret, the three (sometimes four, if Jazz gave in and joined) had become a legendary ghost-fighting team. Occasionally, Sam and Tucker would join. They even had to give Jack a tutorial on his own weapons once in a while. Amity Park had become suspicious of this at first. The Fentons fighting with Danny Phantom? The whole town was abuzz for weeks. Speculations and conspiracy theories had popped up online nearly overnight. As the days went on, Danny became increasingly concerned with it, as more than a handful of people had figured out who he was. Nobody took them seriously of course, and when the speculation was at its peak, Jack nearly threatened them all on live TV. The speculations had essentially ceased after that.

Maddie and Jack had even calibrated nearly all their weapons and gadgets to ignore Danny's ecto-signature. It was a feat which had proved quite tricky to do, but they managed. It had made Jack and Maddie much more at ease to fight alongside Danny when they knew their weapons wouldn't hurt him. However, they never did manage to get the Fenton Thermoses to ignore Danny, and Jack once trapped the poor kid inside for nearly five hours when they finally managed to release him into the Ghost Zone. About an hour later, Danny came back, covered in goop and mumbling about somebody called Youngblood.

Now, all three of them were outside the taco stand down the street, taking care of some low-level ghost that Danny could easily have taken care of on his own. Jack, however, insisted that he and Maddie be there, despite Maddie now training Danny in hand-to-hand combat. Overall, it had been a good couple of months. Because of all she had said about Phantom behind his back, she had apologized to Danny more times than she could count. Danny promising each time that she had no reason to apologize in the first place. Her son - her Danny - was the hero of Amity Park! It was incredible to think about.

Maddie could not possibly be more proud.

A/N: Thanks everyone, it's been real~ *sunglasses emoji*
