Sequel to Hide & Seek. Thanks to a ghost named Forgotten, Danny had lost his memory. Jazz, Sam, and Tucker most help him pick up the pieces and track down the ghost that did this. Is there something that will make Danny remember everything? If so, what?!
Forgotten
A young boy with jet black hair, icy blue eyes, blue jeans, and a white t-shirt with a red oval in the middle sat at the dinning room table in his house. His sister, Jazz, sat across from him. She was reading a psychology book like it was the most exciting thing on the earth. Danny was the boys name, his full name being Danny Fenton. He was eating a piece of toast zoning out into his own little world. Bringing the toast to his mouth it fell through his hand. Usually this would freak someone out, or rather make them scream and run around in circles until they smashed into a wall. But Danny was half ghost and had been half ghost for over two months.
"Haha." said Jazz peaking over her book. Danny looked up at her with a slight smile.. Jazz plus his parents had known about Danny's powers for over a week now going on two. Jazz actually had known longer then a week without Danny's knowledge. "You need to practice more."
"I would if Mr. Lancer would lay off with all the homework, he's driving me crazy!" complained Danny. Mr. Lancer was his English teacher and was at the moment forcing his students to analyze and explain the reasoning of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. He was also giving them double homework because for some reason, the poem was his favorite. Danny picked up his toast again.
"Well, at least you have a whole weekend." pointed out Jazz cheerfully. She marked her page with a cat shaped bookmark and sat it down in front of her. On the front of the book was a woman taking notes in a chair while a man was explaining his problems.
"But weekends are for relaxing." Danny practically whined. He bit into his toast and fumbled for it when his hand went intangible once again.
"And not being able to eat breakfast without losing control means you need practice." retorted Jazz. But for the most part, Jazz was only playing with her little brother. She knew how tough it was for him to balance out his life.
"As if I don't get enough practice with all the ghosts."mumbled Danny finally finishing up what was left of his toast in two bites.
"What I mean is, you need to practice holding items in human form. When you drift off or become tired you tend to phase right through a wall or chair." said Jazz "You could do some exercises like holding beakers. We can do them until you think you don't need to anymore." Danny thought it over for a minute or two then agreed.
"Guess what kids?!" came their dads booming voice.. Usually, or about two weeks ago, Danny would have groaned at seeing his dad pull out a new invention or even hearing him shout 'guess what'. But now since everyone in the household knew his secret he perked up, curious to see the invention. Their parents, Jack and Maddie, appeared in the doorway to the kitchen. Maddie was smiling proudly at Jack.
"What is it dad?" asked Danny staring at a little metal cube that his mom was holding proudly.
"It's the Fenton Ghost Knocker Outer." said Jack. Jazz coughed, signaling to Danny that she thought the name was extremely stupid much as he did. "If you're fighting a ghost, all you have to do it attach this to him, and it drains their ghost energy."
"As long at I don't have to test it, cool." stated Danny eyeing the cube.
"Of course not dear! We would never make you test anything on yourself!" cried Maddie, her voice showing her shock at him even imagining they would do something like that. "Right Jack?" Jack looked at her then back at Danny.
"Of course not." he replied after a long moment of silence.
"Now Danny, this is a prototype. Use it against a ghost but don't rely on it. If it works we'll gladly make more." said Maddie beaming at her son and Jazz.
"Okay, thanks." was all Danny said and Maddie walked over and handed him the device. With one more motherly smile, she followed Jack across the kitchen and down a flight of stairs they had built for a emergency escape from the basement only a few days ago. The steps were slightly off center and went from left to right as you descended.
"Danny, do you want to go to the mall with me?" asked Jazz "I desperately need more books." her bookmark was sticking out of her book which showed Danny she had read over 7/8 of the material in under the hour they had been sitting at the table. Plus, it was a really thick book.
"Sure thing. Just wait one minute while I grab the Fenton Thermos XL." answered Danny. Clutching the cube, which need a switch to turn on, Danny quickly walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
Forgotten
The only thing that Danny was really scared of at the moment was Jazz's driving. Sure, Jazz could be extremely smart with psychology but she totally lost it on the road. Finally her and Danny were at the mall. Danny swayed slightly and leaned up against the Fenton RV for support. "I so hate this thing." said Jazz rounding the RV to stand in front of Danny.
"Yeah, me too." groaned Danny but not really meaning the RV, but instead his sisters driving. Gathering some strength, Danny followed Jazz into the Mall. "Where do you want to go first Jazz?" asked Danny not quite sure where he was at the moment.
"To the bookstore." she said. A couple of people passed them on the way through the food court. "But do you know where it is?"
"C student remember?" Asked Danny sarcastically. Jazz laughed and Danny smiled.
"Okay, well lets look at the directory." suggested Jazz becoming serious again. Together they walked over to the directory map. "Okay, Borders is to our left and down a ways." mumbled Jazz using her finger to mark the store.
"It's right across from the Gothic Store that Sam likes." pointed out Danny. He suddenly was reminded that Tucker, Sam and him were going to meet up at Nasty Burger for lunch.
"Aren't you supposed to meet up with them for lunch?" asked Jazz as if reading his mind. Danny nodded. For some reason he was reminded of Sam and Tucker's reactions to Danny's parents knowing his secret.

Flashback:
About fifteen minutes after Danny's parents had barged into Casper high acting like it was perfectly normal to see their son in ghost form, Sam had woken up from where she had fainted and Tucker had come back and had stopped screaming.
"I still can't believe you told them!" cried Tucker, he was looking at Danny like he was a alien. Jazz rolled her eyes and Sam only stared at Danny with a questioning look.
"Well with them I had no choice." protested Danny making gestures with his hands. He went back to normal since he had been in ghost mode. He then explained, as shortly as possible, what had happened with the flying Fenton Thermos and how his arm had gone invisible in front of his dad.
"I still say you lost your mind." said Tucker flatly. Danny glared at him while Sam stifled a laugh.
"He's right, ever since you got your powers you were always trying to make sure they didn't find out." said Sam smartly. Danny could feel himself losing a battle.
"Lets face it," said Jazz causing everyone to look at her intent on what she had to say "Danny wouldn't have told anyone if you two had stopped me from following him into that alley." She was now directing her speech to Sam and Tucker.
"You what!? You didn't even try to stop her!" cried Danny not really knowing what he was saying. Jazz shot him a evil look which Danny returned with a sheepish look. Sam and Tucker exchanged glances, Danny and Jazz could almost see the panic in their eyes.
"Well, ah you see...." started Tucker but Sam silenced him with a hit in the arm with her shoulder. "Ow! Do you have to do that every time!"
"We followed her but weren't fast enough." explained Sam. Tucker nodded but was still rubbing his arm.
"It's alright." said Danny. Jazz looked proud of what Danny had responded with and stopped shooting evil glares at him for his outburst. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Danny quickly stuffed the thermos into Tucker's backpack before anyone spotted it and made fun of him for the odd looking device. Sam, Tucker, and Danny bid farewell to Jazz who smiled and headed for her class while they did the same. But before they were put of earshot Danny asked; "What alley?"
End Flashback
Forgotten
Shaking his head to clear it, Danny followed Jazz down a row of shops. As they walked he almost ran into a garbage can but ended up walking right through it without even trying. "Are you okay Danny? Your quiet." said Jazz looking over her shoulder. She stopped so Danny and her were looking at each other face to face.
"Just remembering things." replied Danny shrugging his shoulders. He shivered and opened his mouth, a blue stream of mist lightly curled out of his open mouth. Screaming people fled past them in a massive swarm almost taking Jazz with them but she backed away almost getting hit by a woman holding about a hundred bags. "There's no place for me to go ghost." said Danny looking right and left for a place empty of people.
"I got an idea!" exclaimed Jazz spotting a picture booth that was in the middle of the walking area. Danny looked at her and raised an eyebrow but Jazz only grabbed him by the arm and shoved him inside. A guy and a girl, both with blond hair, were pushed roughly out the other side. The camera went off as Danny went ghost and Jazz picked up the strand of pictures and smiled at the picture of her brother halfway transformed into ghost mode. She stuffed it into her pocket.
Forgotten
"Going ghost!" shouted Danny, he felt two beams come from his waist, one going up the other down. Just as he was half way transformed a flash went off in his face. Seeing spots, he finished going ghost then phased through the booth in search for the ghost. It wasn't at all hard to find. A young girl ghost was firing ectoplasmic blasts at stores causing people to flee for their lives.
"I am Forgotten!" screamed the ghost. Jazz had been smart enough to shove the Fenton Thermos at Danny before pushing him into the picture booth. Digging it out of the grocery bag he had hidden it in, Danny opened the top.
"You will be forgotten after I suck you into this Thermos!" cracked Danny pointing it at the green girl steadily. She turned, her eyes glowing a deep green.
"Everyone forgets! So shall you!" cried the ghost her eyes now glowing red. Before Danny could even react, a beam of red light erupted from her whole body and struck him forcefully in the stomach. Danny was flung backwards, screaming as he went. The girl ghost snickered to herself, went intangible, and flew out of the mall via the roof. Danny smashed into the very photo booth he had went ghost in.
"Dan...I mean ghost kid!" shouted Jazz rushing to his aid. Most people had left and the ones still in the mall were cowering in a corner or under a table, so no one saw Danny as he reverted back to human mode.
"Huh?" he mumbled. He groaned at his aching head when he tried to sit up, so he fell back down with a thud.
"It's okay Danny. Let's just go home, you can rest there." said Jazz soothingly. She helped him stand up looking at the photo booth which now had a Danny shaped impression where he had collided with it.
"Sure, I just have one question." started Danny his words slightly slurred. Jazz leaned closer to hear him since he was speaking to softly. "Where is home?"
