Accident: Month One (Danny Phantom)

In Jazz's Way (Part II)

Jazz stashed herself away in her room, mortified by her dad's ramble. She knew she shouldn't have talked with Jack first.

"I will never be able to unhear that!" Jazz said massaging her temples.

Jazz walked over to her desk and picked up her notepad. She began scribbling information down that, while wasn't what she didn't exactly want, it could help her later. When she finished writing, she read her notes over, making sure they were exactly how she heard them from Jack's mouth. Well, almost exactly like how she heard, minus the more disturbing content that her dad felt the need to include. In the end, she only had a few bullet points.

Notes:
* Ghosts come in many shapes, colors, and forms
* Stable ghosts tend to take on a more solid animistic/humanoid form
* Some ghosts are more specialized than others
* Still very little knowledge what they are specifically other than Ectoplasmic Manifestations

Jazz still couldn't believe she was doing this. She was a going to be a psychiatrist, not a ghost hunter. She mentally cursed her parents, if they hadn't distracted her yesterday, she wouldn't be doing this nonsense. While she now knew ghosts existed, unfortunately, she was now going have to resist becoming like her parents.

"Looks like talking wasn't very helpful," Jazz said, "I guess it is time for Plan Beta: research mom and dad's databanks."

Jazz slipped into the lab as quietly as possible. While Jack and Maddie were on a patrol for the afternoon, there was a chance that Danny would rat her out if he found out.

Once she saw her target, she rushed to the computer and began typing.

"Let's see what mom and dad cooked up this time..." Jazz said with a smile.

What she got was completely unexpected. If the disturbing talk wasn't enough, then Jazz thought wrong. On the screen, several honeymoon pictures popped up. A few of them had her parents posing. In those pictures, Maddie was in a bikini and Jack was in a speedo. Jazz felt sick immediately and quickly exited out of those pictures.

"Aw, gross!" Jazz cried out in disgust, "I didn't need to see that! Why must mom and dad have to do mortifying things?!"

Jazz after a few minutes of pushing those horrifying images out of her mind, Jazz began to search once more. She found what she was looking for in broad terms, her parents' ghost research files. The outcome was not much help like before. It had only basic things like body temperature, common powers, information the ghost that ate Jack, basic properties on Ectoplasm itself, and several other things unrelated to Jazz's research. There was one folder that intrigued Jazz, but it had a ridiculous name and was password locked. If Jack was in charge of the computer, then she knew that she would have very little luck in cracking the password. Jack was notorious for spontaneously changing passwords on his laptop and accidentally changing the one on Maddie's from time to time.

"Well that was not helpful at all," Jazz said and shut down the computer, "Mom and dad must have known I was snooping around. That is the only explanation to why I haven't gotten anywhere."

Jazz looked at the calendar. It was currently Wednesday. The weekend just seemed to far away, there had to be a way. Suddenly, a rather naughty idea sparked in the young genius's mind.

"Well, I am three units ahead in all of my classes," Jazz pondered, "And Danny did get me that fake vomit mix for my birthday as a joke... I guess one day out wouldn't hurt me so much."

The next morning, Jazz woke up extra early so she could prepare to fake being sick. She knew exactly what to do in order to convince her slightly oblivious parents that she was indeed sick. She tip toed into the kitchen and snagged the biggest bowl she could find and poured some water into it. It was just enough to make a small amount of fake vomit that would signify she had a small stomach bug and not something major.
