Chapter 5
Once Danny arrived back in San Francisco, he found his family waiting for him at the airport. Everyone rushed over and hugged Danny.
"Dad, I'm so glad you're home," D.J. said affectionately.
"Me, too," Stephanie said. "I missed you."
"Me, too, Danny," Joey said.
"Michelle missed you, too," Jesse said. "And so did I. Don't you EVER do anything stupid like that again. You could have been killed."
"Yeah, I know. War's a rough thing. I've been shot, trampled on, and gassed. I'll never risk my life by making spur-of-the-moment decisions like that again – and without first discussing them with you guys," Danny said.
"Well, two good things did come out of this at least," Joey said. "The Iran-Iraq War did finally end because of you, and also, most importantly, you're okay."
"Danny, I talked with the manager, and we're both getting promotions," Robin said. "We're both going to be the hosts of Wake Up, San Francisco!" Robin said. "You're also going to be given a special segment and a big party for ending the Iran-Iraq War."
Danny's mouth dropped open in delight. "Wow, that's great!" he said.
"All right, Dad!" D.J. said.
"I'm proud of you, Danny," Jesse said – patting his shoulder.
A week later, Danny and Robin went on the air for the first time as the hosts of Wake Up, San Francisco. They loved their new jobs – although Danny was rather embarrassed when it was revealed that the Iran-Iraq War ended only because the Iraqis and Iranians agreed that he was so corny. Still, although Danny got some occasional teasing, many others gave him praise for ending a major war non-violently. Danny's family was also very proud of him, and Danny was glad that he used his compassionate personality and mediating skills to solve a major conflict.
As a result of successfully ending the Iran-Iraq War, Danny decided to go around the world in his spare time – and help solve other major world conflicts. He was especially happy since his family was now squarely behind his efforts. Danny and his family were happy that he had such a positive impact on the world.
