NOTE: This is basically a *prologue* to the fic, because it is so short. Sorry!
"All right, I'll see you tomorrow," Danny Fenton called out to his two friends, Sam and Tucker, as he turned to his long walk home. He stole a quick glance back at Sam, who was kicking Tucker in the usual revengeful-payment for his attempt at sticking gum in her hair. Even though they had acted very strange at times, in a good "unique" way of course (as Sam put it), Danny considered the two as his best friends. He had practically grown up with them since elementary school. But even with the humorous events that occur daily in his painfully scheduled life, Danny had always wished that something exiting, for once, would happen. Every day was average, just like the day before. Go to school, sleep in history class, eat lunch, get killed by the school-jock Dash, and then watch Dash get killed by Sam. And then go home. Same thing EVERY SINGLE DAY. It was driving him insane.
Danny found the door to his house left open and unlocked, with nobody home to answer it. He slipped inside his house, yelling, "Mom.... Dad.... Jazz..." he then checked in his sister's room, but found no one. "Oh well, they're probably working on another pointless 'experiment'," he sighed as he checked the basement for his parents. Because they obviously had too much time on their hands, Danny's parents had transformed their musty basement into a high-tech laboratory. Ever since they both got fired from their positions as technology engineer--ers, Danny's parents had seemingly gone insane with trying to prove that the active apparitions of humans from the past and future of the earth's time were existant. In otherwords, they believed in ghosts. And wanted to show the world that they were right and everyone else was wrong, and that it was not just superstition, and blah blah blah blah.... Of course Danny considered them hopeless and felt very sorry for them, and himself, for being stuck with such lunatic parents.
He then opened the vaulted metal door to the so-called laboratory, slowly declining down the stairs. "Mom.... Dad...." he continued to call out until he trailed off. Danny suddenly saw something that had shown to him specifically how insane his parents really were.
"Whoa..." was all he had managed to get out. Right in front of him was a conveniently located portal to the realm of the undead. How did he know this? Well, he read the label of course, posted conveniently above the metal barrier that read, "CAUTION : Portal To The Realm Of The Undead". Yep, caution signs tell no lies. His foot must have triggered the machine, because at that instant the two metal barriers slid open, revealing a dark tunnel crawling with metal and wires. Next to the strange invention was a box labeled "To: Danny. From: Your loving parents". Yes, his fourteenth birhtday was in three days, but he decided that he didn't have to wait. He ripped open the present, revealing a skin-tight white suit with a huge, bulky black belt. Oh, great... they had made him a stupid ghost-fighting suit, just like theirs. Now he knew what his sister Jazz was getting for her birthday. And she wouldn't like such a fasion statement.
He tried on the suit to see how dorky it was. "Hello. I am a ghost fighter, here to save the world from ghosts with my super ghost-fighting parents!" he mocked himself, then looking back at the portal. Curiousity getting the best of him, Danny slowly stepped into the strange portal-ish-thing.
"Okay... my parents have officially gone out of their minds," he thought to himself, staring at the clutter of wires and electrical outlets all twisted around eachother into one big heap of entanglement. He stepped further, and suddenly jumped when he heard the sound of metal scraping against the tunnel's entrance.
"Ohhhh.... oh no... oh no!" Danny's eyes widened at the sight of the two metal barriers closing in on the portal. He ran towards the entrance in hopes to squeeze through the small gap left, but it was of no use. His face dropped as he caught sight of the last glimpse of light. Then the doors closed, and the tunnel was flooded with darkness.
"This is great... this is just great," he said, banging on the door helplessly, "Let me out! Let me OUT!". Who knows how long he would be stranded in this stupid invention, without food... or water.... or light.... slowly rotting to death as his flesh deteriorates....
Danny shook his head, trying to snap out of his pessimistic thoughts, but it was no use. He had to find a way out.
He felt around the walls covered in wires, in attempt to find some sort of triggered button that would save him. He then felt a rather large button, located near the entrance of the portal. Not wanting to go back any further into the dark tunnel, and hoping that this would rescue him, he gently pressed the button. Please let this work....
At that instant, a bright light flickered and turned on. Eventually, one light after another, after another, after another, illuminated the tunnel for what seemed to have no end. Danny's eyes darted around the tunnel, knowing he had done something wrong. This could not be good.
Soon the walls had begun to close in on him from the two opposite ends of the portal, until Danny was only five feet inbetween the two. The entrances of each sides of the tunnel were visible, as each ends opened their parallel metal barriers. As the doors were discarded to the sides, the two portal entrances revealed what seemed like a translucent, liquid matter that seemed to be blocking both dimensions. Danny panicked, unable to comprehend what was happening to him.
Then at that moment, a tremendous electrical surge shot through his body, forcing his mind to leave and venture into the unconsciousness.
And that exact second was the second that changed his life.
PLEASE R & R !!!
