A/N: Sorry this chapter's so short guys!

Everything simmered down.

Danny got to take his first steps inside of Fenton Works. For the first time he got to see the room his parents had set up, in the hopes that they'd be able to take their son home one day.

For the first time, he had an actual family meal with his parents and Jazz, who was ecstatic to have her brother living under the same roof as the rest of the Fentons.

Danny hung out with Sam and Tucker almost every day, and although he was never allowed at the Manson's or the Foley's, they still found things to do, and fun to have. Sam and Tucker basically lived at Danny's place, unless the three of them were over in the park.

Danny's parents and the Manson's discussed what to do with the Facility now that Vlad was gone. The Mansons wanted to continue to use it, to further understand what effects Danny's powers had in the long run, but the thought of going back in that mirrored room and being watched like a lab rat again caused Danny no end of distress, so that plan was quickly cut.

The two families finally decided to abandon the place, deciding that the things that went on there were too hard to erase and continue to use the building without unwanted memories springing up.

Danny, Sam and Tucker used the grounds around the building to practice Danny's ghost powers, and to make sure no one started it up again and used it for freaky experiments. Occasionally, Danny would wander inside and walk around the familiar halls by himself, remembering those rare happy times he had with his mom and dad here- before his powers manifested. Once he had gotten everything out of his old room, and into his new one at the Fenton Works building, Danny didn't go inside the facility again.

Danny didn't end up going to Casper high with his two best friends- it was too close to the end of the year for them to admit him, but Danny kept his studies up with some of the tutors he still had contact with.

The people who worked in the facility moved away from Amity for the most part, promising that nothing from that time would be brought up again, except for with government officials. Danny's secret remained a secret with the mass population of Amity; the few people who stayed told no one about Danny's ghost powers.

The summer finally came and Tucker and Sam graduated high school. At this point, Danny had mastered his ghost powers.

One night found the trio sitting on the stone fountain in the park, looking up at the starry sky.

"So Danny," Sam was the first to break the comfortable silence. "What are you going to do now? Have you applied to any colleges?"

"Yeah, a couple," Danny said, pulling his knees up and resting his chin on them. "I uh, applied for the NASA training program in Texas." He muttered, wrapping his arms around his legs to keep them secure. "But I honestly don't expect to get in to it. I don't have a state diploma, only what I've learned from the facility." Danny paused stealing a glance at both of his friends. "So I applied to Sciences at the community college here." He laughed, "My grades should be enough for that, and I'm hoping to get in. If I do, and I graduate with enough credits, I'll try for NASA in a couple of years."

Tucker pet Danny's shoulder, "That's great dude!" he said, "I applied out of state, for Computer sciences with a minor in politics."

"Politics Tucker?" Sam asked, leaning around Danny to look at her black friend. "You're into that kind of thing?"

Tucker laughed, and Danny smirked. "He wants to be mayor of Amity Park one day." Danny said, glancing at his friend. "Tell her your laws, Tuck."

Tucker smiled proudly. "There'll be 'Meat Week' and 'Mini-skirt Fridays'."

Sam smiled sadistically at her friend. "You sure are going to get it, Tuck, when Ghost-boy isn't here to protect you."

This caused all of them to laugh, and when they calmed down Tucker asked Sam where she was applying to.

"Amity's community college for now, just like Danny." She answered, "They've got a nice environmental program, and after I've gotten that out of the way, I'm applying to a university."

"Nice!" Tucker and Danny said at the same time. "We'll be going to the same college!" Danny announced with glee.

Sam blushed and smiled.

"Wooo, the lovebirds get time alooone." Tucker swooned, putting his hands together and swaying.

"We're not lovebirds!" Danny and Sam yelled at the same time, as Danny punched Tucker in the arm.

Tucker laughed, rubbing his arm as he skipped away from the fountain. "I stand by my statement!" he chortled, twirling around and running off.

Danny sighed, "I guess we really should be getting home." He admitted sheepishly, casting a sideways glance at Sam. "I mean, my parents will be looking for me soon. Dad will probably have some anti-ghost weapon that'll do more harm than good."

This caused Sam to chuckle softly. She has a nice laugh… Danny thought wistfully.

"I should go too." Sam said, standing up. Danny stood up as well. "I'll see you tomorrow?" Sam asked, smiling at her friend.

"Yeah, tomorrow."

The three of them all got accepted into college. Danny, despite his brave words against it, was very disappointed to not hear anything from NASA. But he put on a smile and told himself he would apply again when his college grades brought him up.

Danny and Sam were seeing Tucker off, as his bus left for the airport that day. "… So this is it, isn't it?" Sam asked quietly, as Tucker hoisted his shoulder bag onto his shoulder. "The end of Team Phantom?"

"Team Phantom?" Danny and Tucker asked, looking at Sam.

"Yeah… It's a play on words." She explained, "You know… Fenton, Phantom. They're basically the same word. I thought it'd be neat. Danny Phantom. Therefore, Team Phantom."

Danny smiled, "I like it."

Tucker nodded "Yeah! Sa-weet!"

Sam smiled. "I'm glad. Don't forget us while you're gone Tucker." Sam, despite the many fights she and Tucker got into, didn't want him to go. He was like a brother to her.

Tucker smiled. "You actually think I'm going to forget you guys?" he asked, sarcastically. "Goth girl and Ghost Boy? As if!"

Danny smiled back at Tucker. "You better come visit."

"Of course!" Tucker said, spreading his hands out to the sides, "Long weekends, and winter and summer breaks, I'll be back and ready to go." He said as the bus honked announcing its imminent departure.

"And we'll keep in touch over the internet and via letters." Tucker said, starting to back up. "Don't you two go getting engaged while I'm gone!" he turned and ran off to his bus, leaving Danny and Sam to simmer on his statement.

"So… Team Phantom, hun?" Danny asked, watching as Tucker's bus shoved off and headed for the airport.

"Yeah, Team Phantom. Like it?"

Danny looked at Sam and smiled. "Yeah. I do like it. Kinda like our own secret club."

Sam smiled. "Exactly. Starting with school on Monday."

Danny looked at her. "School… on Monday." He whispered, shocked he was going to be going to an actual school.

"Mm-hm." Sam hummed, turning around. "So I'll see you then, Danny?"

Danny smiled at her; taking one last look in the direction Tucker's bus had driven.

"Yeah. I'll see you on Monday."

A/N Haha, maybe I should release the new one on Monday... Just to tease you guys, and stay true to Danny and Sam's words. :D

:: pelted with rotten tomatoes:: Okay okay okay. XD The new one will come out on Friday. Jeeze you guys.

Thanks for all the lovely reviews and support I've had through this whole thing. I couldn't have asked for better!

Stay tuned for the release of Ice and Lightning!
