HYPHEN NOTE: So I've thought of this idea like since the first season, but just recently remembered it. If we can stop the violence before it starts then peaceful days will follow. Let's get going.
Danny was lying in bed, not asleep, just thinking about stuff. Well, mostly everything to do with his ghostly adversaries. He gets the whole reason on why they come out and cause trouble, the Ghost Zone is boring as school. Sure it's an infinite abyss of hidden secrets and such, but if you spent your whole afterlife stuck there the whole mystery of it would wane away. Clockwork and Frostbite are about the only two who haven't completely lost it, but apparently after such a long time being dead a certain clarity would come over them. Danny got up and went to his computer looking at his files of the ghosts he's encountered:
Skulker...
Ember...
Youngblood...
Wulf...
Kitty...
Johnny...
Nocturne...
Honestly the list went on forever not all of them bad, or necessarily evil, just a bit misunderstood and bored. He looked out his window a small idea beginning to form in his head as the summer sun warmed his skin. Yeah, summer has started meaning for a whole two and a half months there was no school to go to, just sun, fun, and ghosts. Danny chuckled at this thought, who else would have that line-up when summer came, except him and a few people he knew. Tucker and Sam not being on that list this summer. Tucker was away visiting relatives in Miami, while Sam was dragged with her parents around the world so she could 'enrich her cultural experiences', whatever that meant, leaving Danny in Amity alone. Even Jazz was away touring colleges, never to early to get a head start was her motto.
Danny felt all these thoughts weighing down on him, so he decided to go fly around a bit, that always cleared his head. Turning into Phantom he zoomed out of his room, high above the skies of Amity letting the winds flow around him, refreshing. Looking around he saw many people walking and milling about, kids in the park, teens hanging with their friends, and families just enjoying the nice summer day. The sight made him smile, it was for these things that he did what he did, never expecting anything in return. In the distance he heard an engine revving, the sound getting closer fast. Taking a glance in the direction Johnny and Kitty were on his motorcycle driving down a long street like a bat out of hell. Danny worried they might try and ruin this day flew at them ready for anything.
"HEY, you're way past the speed limit 13!" Danny shouted as he caught up with the bike.
"Oh, hey kid, sorry just enjoying the wind of the day." Johnny said as he decelerated and pulled over to a curb, parking his bike and turning it off.
"What are you guys doing here on the side of the living?" Danny asked giving Kitty a hug and Johnny a fistbump.
"Nothing really. Just cruisin' around it gets really boring in the Ghost Zone, and the living side is always filled with something new , most of the stuff wasn't even here when we were alive. Just trying to take in as much as we can." Kitty replied.
Danny breathed a sigh of relief that they weren't going to cause any trouble. It's like he thought earlier, they aren't bad, just bored as hell.
"Yeah I figured as much, just wanted to make sure you weren't gonna start any trouble."
"Don't worry punk, we just wanted to feel a little freedom before going back in. It's a good day to ride."
"Yeah... It is..." Danny looked off into the sky lost in the singular idea he had earlier, now demanding his attention.
"Danny? Hey Danny, you there? Helllloooo?" Kitty called out waving her hand in front of his face.
"Hey guys... do you think everyone in the Ghost Zone is as bored in there as you guys are?" Danny posed his question.
Johnny and Kitty stared at him, then at each other, then back at him, unsure of what he was thinking.
"Yeah I suppose so, at least the ones who come out are I think." Kitty nodded in response.
"Hmm..."
"Hey punk, what'cha thinking about up in there?" Johnny asked, curiosity getting to him, Kitty just stayed silent but also curious.
"Well... I've been thinking lately that maybe I could help them with their problem."
"Them? Problem?" Johnny and Kitty asked in unison. Danny nodded.
"Yeah help the residents of the Ghost Zone cure their boredom." Danny explained.
Johnny and Kitty looked at him in shock. Help all the ghosts? Even for Danny a mission like this was a daunting one, the amount of ghosts out there was just to great. He'd be doing this for an eternity if he attempted to help all of them.
"Danny be reasonable, you can't help all the ghosts in the Ghost Zone its just too big a task for any one person!" Johnny said, using his name indicating how serious he was.
"Oh I know, I just meant those that I've met at some time or another, it would be insane to try and help all of them. What do you two think? You obviously enjoy being free of the Ghost Zone, even if it is just for a while." Danny replied.
Johnny and Kitty looked at each other, thoughtful expressions plastered on both their faces. While it was true that they enjoyed being out of the GZ, could the kid really help all of the ghosts he's met. Just how many has he met? They looked back at him he had gone back to his thoughts, cupping his chin and closing his eyes.
"Hey Danny?" Kitty called.
"Hmm?" Danny was brought of his thoughts and looked at Kitty.
"Where are you're other two friends? Sam and Tucker was it?" She asked.
"They're away for the summer just me to protect the town." Danny revealed.
"What about your sister?" She asked again
"Touring colleges." he replied.
"So you're really going to do this whole thing by yourself?" Johnny asked.
"Seems that way," Danny paused and looked between the both of them, "unless you guys want to help out?" he asked questioningly.
"WHAT?!" They shouted in unison.
Johnny and Kitty should be full of electricity with how many times this kid has shocked them already. Was he seriously asking for their help? Sure they were on neutral terms, but were they really willing to help him help others? They thought of how boring it was in the Ghost Zone, and how they were here to get away from it. They knew that most of the ghosts felt it was suffocating there, and that all they wanted was just a taste of the freedom the Human Realm offered.
"C'mon, Sam and Tuck are gone and it would really help to have some backup on this, and I know you two wouldn't want others to remain as they are. You guys are here to escape that place, so why not help me help them do the same?" Danny pushed
Their hesitation crumbled, he did have a solid point.
"Okay, we're in... what do we do first?" Johnny said
Danny's stomach grumbled in reply.
"First we go grab something to eat, we'll figure the rest on the way." Danny said as floated away.
"WAIT! You don't have a plan?" Johnny asked in exasperation.
"Not yet. But I'm thinking of one." Danny called back
Johnny and Kitty hopped back on his bike, he started it up and raced after him, one thought on his mind.
'What the hell did we get ourselves into?'
Post Note: And so starts Project G.H.O.S.T. This has really been on my mind and I thought I'd try making it into a story, what do you guys think? I have a good idea where this will start, but where do you think it should go? Who else should I add? Well if you have anything PM me. Read and review plz, your feedback will help immensely.
