A Town With No Ghosts
Chapter one
A/N So hey everyone! Thanks for clicking on my story- I really appreciate you guys giving it a chance and reading this first chapter! It's not my first fanfic but it's my first DP fanfic (even though I've been a HUGE fan of the show for a LOOONG time…).
And a BIG thank you goes out to ElealehBlue for helping me figure out the background/setting details for the beginning! You're AWESOME! Go check out her stories, they are AMAZING, seriously. :)
But yeah, on to Chapter one! :)
"Finally," Danny said as he half-sat, half-dived into his seat at their booth at the Nasty Burger.
"Dude, Amen," said Tucker as he got into the booth next to Danny. He flung his head facedown on the table and raised his hands as if calling a touchdown.
As Sam got into the seat on her side of the booth, she eyed him with an amused smile.
"Tucker, as much as I agree with you that spring break finally starting as of now is a good thing, I wouldn't put my face down on that… you have no idea what microorganisms might still be lurking there…" she raised an eyebrow.
Tucker immediately got his head off of the table with a slightly disgusted look on his face.
Danny snickered quietly under his breath, then furrowed his eyebrows and looked closely at a spot on Tuckers forehead as he pointed at it. "Is that…. EBOLA?!"
Tucker yelped and smacked a hand on his forehead, then flashed Danny an aggravated glare.
"So… have we decided where we're going yet?"
The trio had planned for months to go on a trip on spring break. And the best part was, they were going alone. As in, no annoying parents, no forced family-bonding time, just Danny, Tucker and Sam, for a week, chillin'. And now that they had all turned 18, they could officially claim to be adults, which made for a GREAT argument.
"As we ideally should've done ages ago…" said Sam, slightly rolling her eyes. But that's what you get when you leave a notorious slacker and a superhero with barely any time for it in charge of planning the trip. But she couldn't say they hadn't done anything… at least about Danny. Seeing how her overprotective parents would NEVER have agreed to such a trip alone with two boys- albeit ones she had known her entire life, practically- Danny had helped, shall we say, persuade her parents into allowing her to go.
MAN was that overshadowing power of Danny's useful.
"What about that place that they keep advertising on the radio?" said Danny.
Then other two just looked at him in confusion. "What place?" said Tucker.
"YOU KNOW, that commercial about that small town, Fayette… the one supposedly with no ghosts, or at least that's what they adveritise. I'm surprised you guys haven't heard it, they only play it like, a gazillion times every hour." Danny smiled, then after looking at their surprised faces, frowned. "Neither of you have heard it?"
Sam tilted her head. "I've never heard it…" she frowned.
"Neither have I," replied Tucker. "But hey, no ghosts? Really?" He smiled. "THAT sounds fantastic… how?"
Danny shrugged, but raised his arms behind his head and rested it on them. "Who knows? But it sounds like a break we could USE. We've been fighting ghosts lately nonstop. I don't know about you, but forget homework, I can barely catch up with getting enough sleep at night."
Sam nodded. "Yeah, I know what you mean. There have been a LOT of them lately."
Tucker crossed his arms. "Yeah, and I'm getting REALLY TIRED of that stupid Box Ghost. Just how many times has he escaped the past week?"
"I lost count," said Danny, looking tired just thinking about the Box Ghost and his antics. "I lost count two days ago, in fact, at 47…"
"Well, it sounds like a good place to go to, from what you're saying. Although I could swear that I have never heard a commercial like that on the radio…" Sam said, frowning slightly at that last point, but then her face grew a smile. "Why don't we go there?"
"Sounds great to me," said Tucker. "Let's take Natasha!"
Both Danny and Sam groaned.
"You really think that old bucket-of-bolts could make the trip? The town- Fayette - is at LEAST 45 minutes to an hour away." said Danny, rolling his eyes.
(Tucker had gotten an old, OLD car for his 18th birthday, which he promptly named "Natasha.")
"Hey," said Sam. "Danny… any chance we could take the specter speeder? It's fast."
"Yeah…" he smiled. "I'm sure Mom and Dad wouldn't mind not having it for a week. Besides- I think they're working on a newer model…"
"Why don't they just fix up and remodel the one they have?" said Tucker, frowning slightly.
"I don't know…" replied Danny. "Something about them wanting to have the old one as a spare…"
Sam smiled. "Well, whatever they want, they wont miss it too bad it sounds. But back to our trip. We only have a week. When can you guys be ready to leave?"
Danny and Tucker looked at each other.
"Tomorrow morning?" said Danny.
"Sounds fine to me!" said Tucker, smiling.
"Alright!" said Sam, beaming (for a goth, anyways). "Well, why don't we meet tomorrow morning at 9, get an early start. Your place, Danny?"
Danny nodded, beaming as well.
"Cool," said Tucker. "…um, geez, d'ya think they have our orders ready yet?" He glanced at the service counter.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST!" echoed behind them.
Danny groaned and then smiled. "Is it tomorrow yet?"
A/N ...and that's Chapter 1! If you don't mind, let me know what ya think! :)
