This is my first Fanfic! I've read a few stories, and I thought it would be neat to make one of my own.

Note: Jack may be a little out of character, so sorry if he is, I just think it would be necessary for him to act a little less eccentric in this chapter, that's all.

I've seen these on all of 'em, so:

Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom, just this story's plot.

The Death of a Secret

Chapter 1: Bad News

Danny woke up as the bright sunlight filled his room. He yawned, stretched, and jumped out of bed.

"It's Saturday! Hurray!" Danny shouted happily as he quickly pulled his T-shirt on.

"Jazz, Danny! We have a surprise for you!" His mother yelled up the stairs. Danny pulled on his shoes and fixed his hair before running down the stairs. He skid into the kitchen.

"What's the surprise?" He asked, out of breath as he sat at the table. Jazz sat next to him, looking very tired. His parents were arguing about something.

"Long night?" Danny asked his sister quietly.

"Yup, developing a thesis." She responded. "You?"

"No longer than usual. The Box Ghost, mostly." He yawned softly. His parents stopped whispering.

"Kids, we're going to Wisconsin." Jack said quietly. Danny's eyes widened. Maddie took a deep breath and continued.

"Vlad has offered us, help, on several of our inventions. This is nothing to worry about." She added, seeing Danny's eyes.

"W-what about Sam and Tucker? And school?" Danny stuttered, his joyous morning shattered.

"That's what we're concerned about. Here, read Vlad's letter." Maddie handed Danny and Jazz a piece of paper. It read:

Maddie and Jack Fenton,

How are you? I was wondering if you'd like any help on your inventions. I would absolutely love it if you brought your children. Also, please bring Daniel's friends, don't want him to be lonely, now would we? They will be home schooled, of course, but that is beside the point. I will send a private jet over immediately.

Thank you,

Vlad Masters

Danny and Jazz gulped. Jazz had known about Danny's secret for a long time, and also knew about Vlad's. Vlad was the Wisconsin Ghost. He was the man that was always plotting to kill their dad and marry their mom. The one who wanted Danny as a son, though Jazz was unsure if Vlad wanted her as a daughter, he hadtried.

"The jet is coming at around two o' clock, so call Sam and Tucker and see if they're interested. Then pack." His mother said. His parents stood up and walked down to the lab to pack. Jazz stood up and went upstairs to her room to pack as well. Danny stayed at the table in shock. He glanced at the clock, it was already noon.

"Guess I better call Sam and Tucker." Danny muttered sadly. He stood up and walked over to the phone. He dialed Sam's number. He heard her phone ring twice before Sam's voice filled his ears. He sighed before he spoke.

"Sam? I've got some bad news." He started before relaying the info he had heard. "So, are you interested?" Danny asked worriedly.

"Of course, Danny." Sam said softly. "So, are you gonna tell Tucker?"

""Naturally." Danny replied before hanging up. He dialed Tucker's number and he picked up after six rings.

"Hello?" Tucker answered.

"Hey, Tuck? Umm, I have to ask you something." Danny said before telling him everything. "So, you in?" Danny asked, hopeful.

"Of course, can't let you and Sam have all the fun." Tucker said in a mocking voice. Danny glared into the phone. He sighed.

"You are aware that we're coming to pick you and Sam up in an hour." Danny said menacingly. He heard Tucker gulp and smiled in satisfaction. "See ya in an hour, Tuck." Danny ended. He got up and ran upstairs to pack. He shut the door quickly and a white ring appeared around his waist. As the rings parted, his T-shirt and jeans turned into a black and white jumpsuit with a curved D with a P inside, his raven hair turned snowy white; his bright blue eyes turned a glowing green. He flew over to his closet and pulled out a large suitcase. Hoping he didn't set off any ghost alarms, he started phasing his stuff inside. He flew up to his ceiling to grab his model rockets. The door opened and Danny turned himself and his rockets invisible.

"Danny?" He heard Jazz ask. Breathing a sigh of relief, he turned visible.

"You scared me, Jazz. I thought you were Mom, or Dad." Danny's echoed voice came from the ceiling. Jazz looked up and smiled at the Ghost Boy. He floated down to about her height, still holding the rockets.

"Is something wrong?" Danny asked worriedly.

"No, just seeing how far you got on your room, which is pretty far." She said, looking at his barren room. Danny phased his rockets into his bag. He tried to lift it with little success.

"Well, I guess Dad's gonna hafta lift this." Danny said with little enthusiasm. Jazz walked over to the bag.

"But you're stronger than Dad is." She tried to lift it. "Geez, what did you pack?"

"My room?" Danny answered sheepishly. Jazz rolled her eyes.

"Did you call Sam and Tucker?" She asked.

"Of course, I'm not dumb. They said they're coming." Danny responded as the white rings appeared around his waist again, only this time turning back to normal. "Well, I'm done, unless I can cram my bed inside the bag." He said jokingly. Jazz laughed a little.

"And how would you explain that?" Danny could only shrug with a meek smile as they left the empty room. He checked his watch and sighed.

"At least I finished in time." Danny muttered as he looked at the bare hallway and stairs. "Okay, either Mom and Dad are really fast, or they just really wanted to move." Jazz looked at her watch.

"Well, considering that its almost one-thirty, I guess they were rushing." Jazz said slowly noticing their parents at the foot of the stairs. Jack looked uncomfortable as he whispered to Maddie. Being a halfa does have its advantages; Danny could hear everything his parents said, so he listened.

"-Danny has been acting-"

"No, Jack not just-"

"But when you-"

"Just drop it, Jack."

"He's listening?" Maddie gave a slight nod, glancing towards Danny. Danny gulped and Jazz saw them.

"What were they whispering about?" Jazz whispered.

"Not quite sure, I heard my name though." Danny whispered back, nervous. "Umm, you haven't told them, have you?"

"Of course not, I'm not dumb either." Jazz huffed quietly. Jack started up the stairs.

"So, kids, all done packing?" He asked. Jazz and Danny nodded. "Good, I'll just get your bags then." Jack walked to Jazz's room first and pulled out three different colored bags. He walked into Danny's room and pulled out his black one, with little difficulty. Maddie left to pick up Sam and Tucker, so Jack set the bags on the couch with the others. He looked rather worried.

"Dad?" Danny asked as he came down the stairs. Jack looked up, surprised or startled, Danny really couldn't tell.

"Yes, uh, son?" Jack asked, clearly confused.

"Are you okay, I mean, okay, okay?" Danny asked, worriedly. "Of course I am. Why wouldn't I be okay?"

"You just look worried about something."

"I assure you, I'm fine." Jack hastily replied. The front door slammed and Sam and Tucker rushed into the living room. Jack walked out of the room.

"Danny??" They called; Sam's voice rang in Danny's ears. He turned around to face them.

"Danny, are you okay?" Sam asked worriedly.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just, puzzled." Danny replied slowly. His eyes focused on the air where his father had stood. He heard the phone ring and had to look around to see if it was in the living room.

"Danny! Telephone!" Maddie called from the kitchen. Danny walked into the kitchen and his mother handed him the phone.

"Hello?" Danny asked.

"Oh, hello, Daniel!" Vlad's voice came out of the receiver. Danny sighed.

"What do you want, Plasmious?" Danny spoke in a very controlled tone.

"Now, Daniel, I only wanted to talk."

"Then talk." Danny growled. He really hated conversing with this man.

"You are aware that you are coming to live at my mansion, correct?" Vlad asked slyly.

"Yeah, you wrecked my day with that one." Danny retorted dryly.

"Don't be like that, my dear boy, it just wouldn't do for your parents to hear you, now would it?"

"What do you mean by that? What are you planning?" Danny asked fiercely. Vlad laughed.

"That, little badger, is for me to know, and you to find out." Vlad said gently before he started rambling on and on. Danny quit listening to him and twirled the phone cord around his finger. He was lost in his imagination. Maddie stood in the doorway, unbeknownst to Danny, and listened to him and his conversation. Danny absentmindedly checked his watch. It was one-fifty-five; they had been on the phone for ten minutes. He cut Vlad off mid-rant.

"Hey, if you really want us there, then stop yapping, its five till." Danny said menacingly. Vlad sighed.

"I really dislike having to cut our conversations so short, oh well." He sighed again. Danny growled, and then took a deep breath.

"See ya, Fruitloop!" Danny said, mockingly happy.

"I am not a fruit loop!" Vlad managed to yell before Danny hung up. He turned around to see his mother looking really shocked.

"Um, hi, uh, how much did you hear?" Danny asked, biting his lip.

"Why did you call Vlad a fruit loop?" Maddie asked, avoiding the question.

"It's a joke between me and Vlad." Danny stuttered out automatically.

"Oh, well, its almost time to go, so make sure you got everything, sweety."
