Tears started to stream down Danny's face as he looked over (y/n)'s puddled form. "He'll pay dearly for this (y/n) that I promise, but first I have to save our family," He muttered to himself as he started chasing the carts again.

"What's that? You want more?! Well, since you insist, I'll give you much more!" Freakshow shot at the sky, changing the entire world into his vision.

Danny gritted his teeth at the man, his eye twitching. He killed one of the most amazing people he's ever met, like it was nothing, and he was going to use her death as a joke to entertain. Something inside Danny snapped; it was like nothing else mattered except for beating Freakshow down into a pulp. Dark thoughts started to cloud his mind; the darker they were, the better he felt as he turned around and charged after Freakshow, seeking revenge.

"It's all mine now, my revenge! Your nightmare! There! A kingdom fit for a freak, and a freakdom fit for a king!"

While everyone was distracted, nobody took notice of me as I began to reform back to myself, and I let out a gasp of air. Quickly analyzing the situation, I chase after the carts, shouting at Danny to pull him out of his revenge-driven trance. 

"Danny, what are you doing?! Our family and friends are about to become shishkabobs!" 

Danny turns around with hitched breath as he watches me cartwheel in front of the Jack in the box, creating a shield to protect our friends and family from the fire. The  Jack goes back in its box, and the carts start up again as our parents and friends look at me with shock.

 "(y/n)!" 

"She's alive!" Jack shouts.

Danny flies up and tackle-hugs me mid-air.

"Didn't think it'd be that easy to get rid of me, did you?" I chuckle. "Come on, our family still needs us."

Jazz then calls out to us. "He has ghost envy! Use psychology!" 

"Psychology? That's it!" I shouted when the Jack popped up again and Danny blasted its head off.

We keep up with carts as we combine our ectoblasts to destroy the two cement blocks when we hear Freakshow's voice boom behind us, and we turn around to see his enlarged face. 

"Oh no, you do not get to leave this world with a smile."

Freakshow then tries to grab us as we fly out of the way and start to fly around him like bugs.

"Why wouldn't we smile? So what if you're the most powerful human on Earth? No matter what you do, we're half-ghost, and uh, you're not!" 

He slams his hands together down on us, shutting me up until we phase out of his hand.

"I am the master of all reality!" He then starts shooting at us with the gauntlet, and we outstretch our bodies as we fly around in a circle.

"Oh sure, but can you do this?" Danny taunted.

The crowd then starts to cheer, angering Freakshow as he shouts at the crowd, "What?! No! They are not the stars of this circus, I am! Me!" 

Danny and I continue to show off our powers as we do cartwheels in the air and disappear before shooting ectoblasts at his hat, creating a smiley face as Danny boasts. 

"Ghost powers, ghost energy, ghosts, ghosts, ghosts!"

The crowd starts to get louder as the TV screens focus on us as we wave to the crowd with a smile.

"I will not. Be upstaged. By ghosts!" Freakshow shouts, and the crowd starts to boo him, throwing their food and drinks at his face as I correct him. 

"Um, half ghosts technically, but still way cooler than you."

Freakshow slaps us with his hand as we tumble to the ground, and we look up to see him bend down. 

"Enough! I may be losing control of the crowd, but I am in control of all reality, and if you think being a half-ghost is so cool, what do you think of me now that I'm ALL GHOST?!" He shouts, transforming himself into a big, green, four-armed, three-eyed, bat-winged ghost that has a face on his chest. 

"I think this just got a lot easier," Danny answered, grabbing the Fenton Thermos that was nearby and opening it as it began to suck Freakshow inside, shrinking the gauntlet off his hand. "Sucker."

 Danny caps the lid when we hear our friends and family scream as they drew closer to the pit of acid. I quickly lunge for the gauntlet and toss it to Danny, who puts it on and transforms the pit of acid into a duck pool filled with water as they all begin to pop their heads above water one by one, safe and sound.

"Are you guys ok?!" Danny and I ask simultaneously.

"Oh, hi Mr. and Mrs. Manson, Mr. and Mrs. Foley, Mr. and Mrs. (l/n)..." Danny adds nervously.

"Hi to you too, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton," I chime in just as nervously.

A wave of Lidia's tattoos appears above us, Lidia screaming as Danny uses the gem of form on her. We watch as she flies away in fear after being transformed into a fish, a hammer, an apple, and a teddy bear. Danny then changes everything back to the way it was as we land and detransform. 

"Nice work, Danny," I compliment when he suddenly hugs me tightly. 

"Thank goodness you're ok, I thought we had lost you, I thought I had lost you..." Danny trails off as he looks down with a glum face, his arms still wrapped around my waist as I cup his cheeks. 

"Danny, look at me. I'm fine, I am right in front of you, you don't need to worry anymore," I tell him with a smile before leaning in and kissing him. 

When we pull back, we take notice of our parents walking over.
