Danny came up the stairs from the lab, looking rather annoyed. His parents looked up at him, and frowned.
"What's wrong, Danny boy?" Jack asked. Danny sighed.
"You remember Dora and Aragon, who I was telling you about, right?" He asked. They nodded.
"Well, Dora asked me to take care of the Dragon Amulets for the weekend to hide them from a pack of ghosts who tend to steal shiny things. Considering they were near the kingdom, Dora asked me to hold these until the thieves are gone. And she won't let me fight them, as she claims it will only encourage them to steal more." Danny said, pulling the green amulets from his backpack, and regarding them irritably. Maddie raised an eyebrow.
"Well, why is it so irritating to you that you have to keep an eye on them?" She asked, coming over with Jack to examine the amulets curiously. Danny shrugged.
"Last time I had one of them here, Paulina put the green one around Sam's neck RIGHT when Sam was becoming angry. So, I'm a little wary of them." He said, looking at his reflection coming off of the amulets. Maddie smiled at him, and took them.
"Well, we can take these and put them in the weapons vault until Dora tells you you can bring them back." She said. Danny smiled thankfully as Maddie turned to go to the weapons vault, and Jack and Danny watched after her. Turning to Danny, Jack smiled.
"You haven't told me about that incident yet. I wanna kn-"
"Wait for me to come back first!" Maddie called. Jack sighed.
"Aww!" Danny snickered a little, and when Maddie came back, they sat down, curious to hear Danny's tale. Clearing his throat, Danny began.
"Well, when Dad was fishing for ghosts once, and you left me with the fishing line for a moment so you could go, the line started reeling, my ghost sense went off, and she came out and attacked. I managed to, in an attack, get the amulet off, and it landed in my backpack without me even noticing. She changed back, and went into the ghost zone again. "
"The amulet later fell out of my backpack after I fell out of my locker when Dash put me inside- this was also the first time I overshadowed someone, just for reference- and made him look like an idiot. After he left, Paulina let me out, and the amulet fell out. She thought it was for her, and I stupidly said yes out of attraction to her. She took it and left, agreeing to go to the dance with me. She only went with me to make Sam jealous."
"Later, whenever she got mad, the dragon ghost would appear, her disappearing. Sam later did research, and found that the necklace turns the wearer into a dragon when angered. So, I went, trying to keep Paulina calm as possible, so as to not turn into the dragon."
"Eventually, Sam said hello to her and tried to make peace with her in the girl's bathroom, but, Paulina, upon realizing Sam and I were only friends at that time, she laughed and said it was only to make Sam jealous, and right after that, she put the necklace on Sam. Sam turned into the dragon, and I managed to get the amulet off of her, thankfully." Danny finished. His parents blinked a bit. Then Jack looked curious.
"Can one turn into a dragon with the amulet on command?" He asked. Danny smiled.
"Actually, yes. This was discovered when Sam was kidnapped to marry Aragon, and Dora did it on command. So, that's more why I'm wary. If the wrong person get their hands on it...Oy." He said. His parents smiled.
"Well, we'll keep an eye on the amulets- don't be so worried. Now, didn't you say you and Sam were going out on a date tonight?" Maddie asked. Danny sat adruptly up.
"Oh my gosh, I almost forgot! Gottagobye!" He said, going ghost and flying out. Jack and Maddie stared at the spot he was on, before Jack smiled.
"I always knew Danny like the spooky ooky bat girl." Jack said with a grin.
