Greetings and salutations, folks! Before starting, in case you didn't notice, I put an extension on the previous chapter, so if you didn't read it, I suggest you go back and read it before doing anything else, review, and then come back here. Also, this will be the last chapter of "The Phantom Storm." I'm sorry to be finishing this up, as it was one of my favorite stories to work on, even though I still liked doing "Fading Beyond Love's Reach REVISED" more. Anyway, this is it. Thank you all for the reviews!

Alright, Chapter 19, the final chapter is here, and Fredrick is just now opening the door to the room with the fireplace? Who has survived and who hasn't?

Fredrick, Jack, and Steve walked inside the room with the fireplace and took a look around the room. On the majority of the room was all ice, nothing different than the outside world.

Then they turned their flashlights as something caught their eye. In the fireplace, the fire was still burning as bright as ever.

They shined their flashlights on the people on the couches and chairs, who were now asleep and still unfrozen.

After Fredrick shined his light on Sam, she winced, and then slowly opened her eyes. She slowly sat up and asked, "Who's that?" She was referring to Fredrick, of course, whom she had never met.

Everyone else began to wake up as the flashlights shined on them, including Danny. He looked up from the chair he was sitting in and saw Jack and Fredrick.

To answer Sam, Danny said, "My dad. And my uncle. And some other guy I don't know."

Fredrick and Jack looked at Danny. Danny got up and walked over to them. He said, "You guys made it." He then hugged the both of them.

Fredrick and Jack were taken aback by this but returned Danny's hugs.

Jack chuckled, "Of course we did, son. Why wouldn't we?"

Fredrick smiled, "I'm glad you all are safe."

Everyone around the room smiled at the sight. Danny knew he was embarrassing himself a little, but he didn't care. All he cared about was that his dad and uncle had made it, and they would finally be getting out of here.

A few hours later, a helicopter flew down to the American embassy. A couple people got out and ran inside, one of them being Patrick.

The two men walked down the halls until they found the room they were looking for.

The other man opened the door and Patrick walked inside.

He said, "Mr. President."

Bob Richardson was at the window. Word was out that Gerald Knox was gone, so Richardson was now the President. Richardson turned around, acknowledging that he heard him.

Patrick said, "I just received a short wave radio transmission from Fredrick Fenton. He made it to New York. He says there are survivors."

Richardson smiled. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Patrick. That's…that's good news. Really good news."

Now that word had gotten out about the survivors in New York, helicopters were being sent to New York to rescue them.

As they departed, Richardson was making a press conference that was broadcasted throughout several channels on TV.

He said, "These past few weeks have left us all with a profound sense of humility in the face of nature's destructive power. For years, we believed that we could continue to consume Earth's natural resources without any fear of consequence. We were wrong. I was wrong." It was clear that Richardson was ashamed of himself for not trusting Fredrick sooner.

He went on, "The fact that my first address to you comes from foreign soil is a testament to our changed reality. Not only Americans, but people all around the world are now guests in the nation we once called the third world. In our time of need, they have treated us with warm hospitality and shelter, and I can't begin to say how grateful I am for that."

Everyone around the world was watching in silence: at the American Embassy, at NASA, in the NASA satellite, and in just about everywhere else.

Also watching were Maddie and Jazz, who were still at their hotel in Mexico.

Their eyes were glued to the set as Richardson continued, "We mourn for the loss of a spirited leader whose great order to evacuate citizens to the south saved millions of lives."

Jazz and Maddie smiled at each other, knowing that Fredrick was completely responsible for the evacuations.

Richardson kept going, "For days now, we have grieved about those who are trapped in the north. Today, there is cause for hope. Only a few hours ago, I received word that a small group of people managed to survive in New York City, against all odds and in the face of enormous and stupendous adversity. I've asked for a search and rescue team to bring them home and to look for any more survivors."

Maddie and Jazz smiled widely, and then hugged. Even if it wasn't official, they just had a gut instinct that it was Danny and the gang.

Seeing the helicopters up above them, Danny and the gang walked from the library onto the frozen Atlantic Ocean to be picked up.

While they walked, there was much discussion.

Paulina walked up to Sam and said, "Look, this isn't easy to say, but I'm sorry if I was a little rough on you in there."

Sam sighed. She said to her, "That's okay. I'm sorry I got a little uptight as well."

Paulina replied, "Yeah, well don't think this means I'm going to treat you any differently."

Sam rolled her eyes as Paulina walked over to Danny.

She asked him, "So why didn't you tell me you were the ghost boy?"

Danny shrugged, "I don't know. I didn't know how anybody would react. I thought they'd call me a freak."

Paulina answered, "You know, I actually liked the ghost boy. But now that I know that it's you, I don't need him, er, I mean you anymore. But thanks for the warning about the storm."

Danny shrugged, "Okay." Paulina walked away.

Next, Dash walked over to Danny after talking with Kwan. He said to him, "Listen, after what happened on that ship with the wolves and then flying me down the hall to the fire and warning about the storm…"

Danny said, "Dash, your point?"

Dash went on, "Well, after all that went on, I…guess you're not…that bad. Sorry for all the trouble I always caused you. And uh, thanks for well, saving my life."

"Do I get something for that?"

"Well, I guess I won't be as hard on you for that."

"Thanks, Dash." Then the two of them shook hands. With that, Dash walked back over to Kwan.

Also in conversation were Tucker and Valerie. Valerie was saying, "You know, being through this whole thing with you has given me a whole different look at you. You're a really cool person."

Tucker smiled, "Thanks, Valerie. You're really cool too."

"I was thinking of you the whole time you went to that ship. I wasn't sure you'd make it back."

"Well, I did. And we all survived this."

"Yeah. Listen, I have to talk to Danny for a minute."

"Okay." Valerie kissed him on the cheek and then walked over to Danny.

She said to him, "So, you're the ghost kid."

Danny sighed, "Yep. Everyone saw it. You won't tell my parents or anyone else, will you?"

"Since you kept my secret about ghost hunting and the Nasty Burger thing, I should probably keep yours as well. It's only right."

"Really?"

"Really. And we still follow with that truce we made. But don't get too comfortable, because anytime you show signs of being hostile, I come after you. Don't step out of line with me."

"Uh, sure. I will." Valerie nodded, and then walked back to Tucker.

Finally Sam walked over to Danny. She said to him, "I am so glad we're all okay."

Danny nodded, "Me too. But I'm twice as glad to know you got out of it fine."

"Thanks, Danny."

"I was so worried for you when I saw you sick. I didn't care how dangerous going on that ship was; I was just concerned about making sure you were fine."

"I knew you cared, Danny."

"Thanks. I love you, Sam."

"I love you too, Danny."

At that moment, the helicopter finally landed and they stopped walking. A few people got out, with one of them being Patrick.

Patrick walked over to Fredrick and yelled over the propeller noise, "Fredrick!" He shook his hand roughly and said, "It's good to see you! Let's get on board!"

Everyone stepped onto the helicopter to be lifted out of the city. As they rose out, it was clear to see that everyone was extremely relieved to be safe and on their way out.

As they flew out, Sam looked past Danny out the window. Danny wondered what she was looking at and looked out. Everyone else did the same.

They saw on the tops of several buildings, there were people. Small groups of people that had survived it all, and they were being rescued by other helicopters.

Everyone smiled, especially Fredrick. They were happy to see that those smart enough to stay indoors had been able to survive.

As they flew away, a tired Sam rested her head on Danny's shoulder. Danny smiled and rested his head on her head.

From across the interior of the helicopter, Fredrick and Jack smiled. He had told them about his love for Sam. Jack was happy, since he had expected it. Fredrick hadn't met Sam, so he was still a little confused by it. But he supported it.

They finally flew high over the city and out. After everything that happened, after the tidal wave, the blizzard, and the big freeze, they had somehow survived. Everyone in the library had.

Although it would be years before they could return to Amity Park, they knew that just surviving was a prize in the most. Also, since the Fenton Portal was pretty much buried in snow at Danny's house, very few ghosts got out over the next couple years, so Danny was able to live much more of a normal life, and his love for Sam spurred him along.

The experience people had shared throughout the whole storm was something they would never forget. They also learned that no matter how good things may seem, don't be surprised if things take a sudden change, possibly for the worse.

Earth was a precious thing. Due to what had happened over the last few weeks, everyone learned a great lesson not to waste its natural resources unwisely ever again.

With the terrible weather finally over, the rebuilding for a new world began.

The End

That's it! It's all over! I know those last few talks were horrible, but it was the best I could really come up with. Well, everything worked out for everybody. Everyone survived, the storm is over, Danny's powers are understood, and Danny and Sam have gotten together. Well, that's it. Don't forget that "Doctor's Disorders" airs tonight at 9 PM! Don't miss it! As for me, I might take a break for a while, but expect another Danny Phantom fanfic in…August at the latest. But for now, this is JK rulez, signing out!
