Ch.1 So it Begins...

As the shadowy figure approached with the scalpel Danny felt and immense wave of dread fall over him. This picture, this scene which he so dreaded gave him fear, distress and an unusual sense of dejavu. "What are you doing!?" Danny yelled as he so desperately tried to free himself from his restraints.

No answer came from his shrouded captor as he drew ever near. He raised his hand to make the first incision and Danny cringed bracing himself for what he knew would come. As a sharp pain rips across his chest. "AAAAHHHHHH!" Danny screams as he falls from his bed.

Steps run down the hall. "Danny! Are you alright? I heard you scream." Danny's mom enters the room with a worried look on her face. Danny still breathing hard from the duress of his nightmare struggles to choke out an answer. "Its… fine mom…. I just rolled out of bed again, and it scared me, that's all." He forced a reassuring smile on his face. His mom smiled back and turned for the door. "Well if that's all, you should be more careful about that, you've been falling off the bed a lot recently. Breakfast is on the table when you're ready." As she closes the door behind her Danny lets out a sigh of relief. "It just keeps coming…."

He quickly gets dressed and heads down stairs. He takes a seat across from Jazz who was already almost finished. "Are you feeling alright?" Jazz says with a worried look. "You've seemed to have been pretty tired lately." Danny looks back and makes a grab for his fork. "I'm fine I just stayed up too late again…. It's okay, it's my problem." He quickly looked away and begins on his breakfast.

Jazzes expression didn't fade (Danny you shouldn't push yourself so hard.) Maddie walks into the kitchen. "Good morning Danny, Jazz, I want to make sure you remember about cleaning your rooms when you get home." "Hmmm? Why was that again?" Maddie turns to Danny. "I told you both that I had an old friend coming by tomorrow and she's bringing her family. I want you both to be on your best behaviors while they are here."

Jazz gets up from the table. "What does she do mom?" "Her and her husband are crypto zoologists and their coming by because of a sighting near lake Erie."

Jazz's expression grows cold. "So in other words they study animals that are mutated or don't exist." Maddie turns to Jazz. "Now don't give me that. UMAs have been sighted for years and new species are discovered every day due to the efforts of scientist like them." "Yeah well let's not forget that Nessie and Bigfoot fit into that category."

Jazz turns to leave the kitchen. "I expect you to be rid of that attitude by the time you get home Jazz. Besides you said the same about our research for years." Jazz sighs and turns back to Danny who seems to have already left for school.

The bell rings and kids shuffle through the halls. "Hey Sam you know where Danny went?" Tucker makes his way up to her. "Well when he turned the corner I lost him. I called out to him but its like he didn't hear me." "You know Danny's been out of it the last few days. He slept through 3 classes and lunch today and yesterday."

They both make their way down the halls looking for Danny and after about 15 minutes make their way to his locker. "Well maybe he just went home?" Sam gave him a skeptical look. "That's so unlike him though…. He usually says something." Tucker pulls out his phone. "Maybe he sensed a ghost and didn't have a chance?"

He quickly speed dials Danny and almost immediately hears a familiar ringtone coming from the lockers. They both face his locker as they continue to listen. "You don't think…?" "Well Dash was looking for him around lunch. He never found him though cause I found him under a lunch table." Tucker quickly turns the lock to the locker and pulls it open. "You've got to be kidding me."

They looked on in shock to find Danny shoved in his locker and fast asleep. Sam reached out for him. "Hey Danny wake up!" He stirs but doesn't wake. Both Sam and Tucker begin to pull him out of the locker. "Danny I find it hard to believe that's comfortable."

They try to set him down when Tuckers hand slips. "Woops!" Danny's head falls and he snaps awake. "Huh….? What's going on?" He rubs his eyes and climbs to his feet. "Danny you were asleep in your locker." Danny seemed shocked at the news. "Why would I sleep in their that's ridiculous."

Tucker points behind him. "Seriously dude you wouldn't wake up." Danny turns to his locker with a puzzled expression. "I…. I don't even remember falling asleep….." Both Sam and Tucker expressed worry. Sam put her hand on his shoulder. "Danny, maybe we should cut out patrol altogether for today… you need sleep to catch a ghost." Danny sighed. "You're probably right besides I need to help clean up anyway. One of my mom's friends is stopping by tomorrow."

Tucker walked past him and then turned. "Well at least tomorrow kicks off a 3 day weekend. You'll be able to sleep in, and catch up on your Zs." Danny walks past them. "Yeah I'll talk to you guys later…" He tiredly turns and walks out of the school. Both Sam and Tucker follow with still worried expressions.

"Dinner will be ready shortly Danny!" Maddie calls from the kitchen as Danny makes his way up the stairs. "Okay!"

He continues down the hall and finds Jazz waiting at his door. "Danny what's up?" Danny turns away. "Nothings up now move." "Well if nothings up then why are you so exhausted?" "I told you already I stayed out late…"

"I'm not buying that. Sam and Tucker both said you went home early yesterday. So what were you doing?" Danny starts to look frustrated. "It's none of your business Jazz…." Jazz grabs Danny. "Yes it is my business. I'm worried about you." Danny pulls away. "Well stop worrying already I'm fine."

Danny pushes Jazz out of the way and heads into his room. "Just drop it Jazz." He slams the door.

Late in the night Danny tosses and turns in his bed trying to fend off his nightmare when a disturbance occurs. A siren goes off and Danny gets a chill down his spine that wakes him up. "What's going on?!"

He runs out into the hall to find Jack and Maddie already in full gear. Jazz rushes out of her room next. "What's the alarm for?" Jack nudges Jazz back into her room. "Don't worry Jazz, that's the new alarm for above average ectoplasmic readings in the house." "Above average?" Maddie sighed. "Well for some reason programming it to detect ectoplasmic readings at low level made it go off all the time."

Danny got a little nervous and responded in point. "Oh we-ll I guess it might be the portal or something….." "Anyway kids, you are to stay in your rooms until we can determine the location of this foul specter." Maddie and Jack dash down the stairs guns blazing in full suit up. "So I guess this means going ghost just got a little harder." Danny shrugged and turned back to his room. "Not really, I just can't stay in the house…."

Jazz looks down the hall and then back at Danny. "Aren't you going to go look for the ghost?" Danny paused. "Well I don't think it's still here and I think mom and dad can handle getting it out of the house at least." There was a long pause between them. Danny turned back to Jazz and then back to his room. "You know Danny… I'm here for you… and… you can talk to me about anything." Jazz turned back to her room and began to shut the door. "I'll tell you in the morning." With that Danny closed his door.

A smile spread across Jazz's face followed by a sigh of relief as she closed her door. A few moments later footsteps could be heard through the hall. "Don't worry kids! That ghost is nowhere on the premises." "And for good measure I've activated the ghost shield. No more ghosties are getting in here tonight!" Jack and Maddie continued down the hall. Danny climbs into bed, pauses and then continues climbing under the covers.

"Oh man! How much longer!?" Zack paced back and forth on the bridge. "It's going to be at least another hour. What's got you so impatient anyway?" Drew walks in with a few papers. "Yeah, I would also like to know what's got you so excited about going to visit my friend whom you've never met."

Zack stops and looks at Fiskerton who was standing next to Drew. He shrugged, (Don't look at me.) He looked back at his mom. "Of course I was completely uninterested until you mentioned that she lived in Amity Park. On top of that she studies ghosts in the home city of the coolest super hero ever!"

Zack jumps up to catch the poster that Fiskerton threw at him and unrolls it to reveal a pose shot of Danny Phantom. "Over the past year lots of ghost sightings have occurred in Amity Park and Danny Phantom is the most famous one! If I'm lucky I'll see him and maybe even get an autograph!" Fiskerton growls. (Photo) "Yeah we'll be sure to get a picture too!"

Drew and Doc look at each other. "You know I expect you both will be on your best behavior tomorrow." Zack and Fiskerton trade glances and strike a humble pose. "Don't worry mom well stay out of trouble you have our word on it." Fiskerton growls. (Yeah don't worry.) "Somehow that's not so reassuring."

"Not that I believe in all this ghost nonsense but what makes him so special?" "Come on Doc our research can be pretty hard to believe too." Zack runs over and turns on the monitor. "Here I've got a recorded special on him." "He's got a TV special?"

"Not really, it's this show that comes on at midnight about ghost stories. They do a lot of Amity Park sightings and did one on Danny Phantom last week." The TV program begins.

"Tonight on National fright hour we have a special episode on a very unusual ghost. You may have heard of him and is known as Danny Phantom. While his motives in doing many things is unclear, many reverie him as a hero who fights other ghosts. One of his most famous duels happened a few months ago when a monstrous horde of skeletons invaded the city of Amity Park. Seemly ruled over by ghost claiming to be their king they ravaged many homes. Danny Phantom was seen by many witnesses to be fighting back this horde and was even seen flying into the ghostly dimension that the city was trapped in. Though no proof that they were in another dimension was viable, Amity Park was inaccessible during the time of the attack. Many other times…."

Zack walked back over to Fiskerton and left the TV on for his dad who seemed quite puzzled by the whole thing. "This whole thing is some kind of hoax." Drew walked over to him. "Maddie told me herself several months ago that they were finally able to get the kinks out of there ghost portal, which led to what she calls the "Ghost Zone," and they've done several tests."

"You know dad's gonna be a skeptic until he sees it." "I doubt he'll even believe it then." Doc looks back. "I just want to see the scientific facts alright." He turns back to the screen. Kimodo crawls in. "Hissss!" Zack walks over to grab something out of his mouth. "Alright Fisk, he found the good camera!" "Hissssss!" Fiskerton growls. (Awesome!)

Drew turns back to the boys. "Sorry boys but Kimodo can't come this time." Zack turns to Drew. "What?!" "Sorry but we can't bring Zon into the city like that and we also can't leave her here by herself." "Hissssssss!" Drew looks at Kimodo. "You remember last time Fiskerton was left to watch Zon?" Kimodo backed down. "Don't worry Kimodo we'll bring you back a souvenir." Zack pets Kimodos back.

"Get ready boys, it shouldn't be too long now. I can see the city coming into view." Zack and Fiskerton run up to the window. "Awesome!" As the city shows clearly under the airship a billboard comes into view. "Check it out mom!" Drew looks it over.

"Welcome to Amity Park home of Danny Phantom. Seems he's as popular as you say." "Of course!" The airship continues and lands on the other side of the city. "Why'd we park over here?" Drew gets ready for departure. "Well we don't want to make a scene right when we get here do we?"

"Alright Saturdays, it's time to head out."
