"Yes!" Jack cried, throwing his new invention up in the air triumphantly. Maddie looked at her husband with an amused look.
"So, what did you finish doing to it?" Maddie asked sweetly. Jack grinned.
"I modified the crammer so the ghost won't lose it's power, so we can catch it and perform experiments!" Jack said happily, looking at the invention happily. Maddie smiled.
"That's nice, dear." Maddie said, secretly hoping she wouldn't have to fix it one way or another later on. Jack smiled broadly.
"I just can't wait until the kids are home! Then I can blather on about it!" Jack said cheerfully, running up the opt center to put it away for the time being. Maddie only smiled and shook her head as Jack ran up the stairs, his bulk not a factor on his speed.
"So, Danny, are you going on patrol tonight?" Jazz asked as brother and sister walked home together. Danny shrugged.
"Maybe, maybe not. I'll see if I can get the night off- meaning if I'm lucky, no ghosts will attack." Danny said. Jazz smiled.
"Well, if you do, I'll do my best to keep mom and dad from wondering about your whereabouts."
"Thanks, Jazz." Danny said with a smile as the two walked up the steps to their house, and upon opening the door, Jack nearly jumped on them with excitement.
"YES! YOU GUYS ARE HOME! Now I can rant on about my new invention! Come in the backyard! We'll do some target practice." Jack said, griping onto his son and daughter's wrists, and practically dragged them into the backyard. Sharing a look, Danny and Jazz were worried about what it would be.
Upon getting into the back, Maddie was there. Giving her kids a quick kiss from just being home, she secretly enjoyed the annoyed 'mommm!' that came from both out of embarrassment. Then she looked at Jack.
"Jack, did you forget the invention in the Ops Center?" She asked. Jack stopped, then smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, yeah. Be right-" He stopped as he turned around, and saw someone-or something- hold the crammer, pointing it at the quartet below. Danny's ghost sense went off, and he gulped.
"Who are you?" Jack shouted up. The ghost didn't say a word, and all it did was push the handle toward 'cram', shrinking all four as they screamed as they shrunk down instantly, and the ghost grinned and disappeared for the meanwhile.
As they shrunk, they all fell down, and Danny's head managed to bump harshly against a small rock on the way down.
He saw long blades of grass in his vision before he fell unconcious...
OOH, Short start, but I promise this'll be good. Please review! I don't own Danny Phantom!
