Vacations are EVIL

I do not own Danny Phantom

Chapter One

Danny Fenton was in a bad mood, it was summer, yet here he was on a plane with his whole family, Sam, and Tucker. He should be happy to be going on a trip with his friends right? Wrong. When Danny had learned he was going on a trip he quickly overshadowed Sam and Tucker's parents to let them go also. Sam had figured out, and now she was mad at him, not for overshadowing her parents - she was grateful for that - but for using his powers for his own selfish wants. Tucker was okay with it all. Only later did Danny find out that the DALV company had scheduled their trip, and Danny was mad about spending a month in California on a trip with his ghost obsessed parents that just so happened to be sponsored by Vlad, not to mention one of his only two best friends was mad at him.

Yep, Danny's dream vacation.

"Danny, cheer up! It's summer, we can have a lot of fun in California!" Maddie Fenton said to her fuming son, trying once again to cheer him up.

"Oh, I don't think we're going to California." Danny growled as he pointed out the window all too calmly, sure enough, when Maddie pressed her face against the plane's window, she didn't see California, but a lush and extremely large jungle.

"That can't be right. Just sit tight while I go ask the pilot about this." Maddie said in confusion as she unbuckled her seat belt and stood up. Walking down the pathway she took a look back at her family, Jazz was reading, Jack was sleeping, Tucker was tapping on his PDA, Sam was making faces at the airplane food, and Danny was staring out the window longingly. Maddie sighed as she knocked on the pilot's door.

No answer.

Maddie knocked again, this time gaining the attention of Tucker and Sam who were the closest to the door.

Silence from the cockpit.

"Hello, um, this is Maddie Fenton, requesting to know why we have perhaps strayed off course?" Maddie said through the door, she jiggled the handle, but it was locked. Surprisingly Danny stood up and made his way towards her.

"I knew this would happen." Danny mumbled as he grabbed hold of the handle, then he slowly turned his hand intangible and opened the door, hoping his mom didn't notice.

She didn't.

"How did you do that Danny?" Maddie asked her son, cocking an eyebrow, he shrugged in response.

"Guess I have the magic touch… heh." Danny replied, then he pushed the door open. No one was there.

"Not again!" Danny groaned, he looked to his mom quickly. "I think I know how to fly this thing!" Danny shouted, now Jack had woken up, and everyone was gathered around as Danny sat in the pilot chair. "I've run the NASA simulation on my computer a thousand times." Danny muttered as he flicked a button and pulled on the controls.

"This isn't the same as a spaceship Danny!" Sam shouted, Danny growled as he tugged the controls upwards, but they were jammed.

"They're locked in place!" Danny grunted as he continued to pull. Maddie looked over and grabbed all the parachutes.

"Hurry everyone!" She shouted.

"Why does this seem so familiar." Danny snapped sarcastically to his mother, clearly implying the time they had gone to the Mother Son Science Symposium only to end up plane wrecked at Vlad's house. Maddie sighed at her son and jumped out of the plane, everyone following her, but Danny.

"Danny!" Maddie yelled, and then the plane careened out of the sky, Danny's fearful face clearly visible in the doorway, along with an arm around his chest.

"Is everyone here?" Jack shouted from below, he clearly hadn't heard Maddie's call of distress for her son.

"Tucker's here!"

"Sam's here!"

"Jazz is here!"

"Jack Fenton is here!"

"Maddie Fenton is here." Maddie said with a quivering voice. Everyone waited for Danny's voice, but only silence replied.

"He has to have made it out, he has to have." Jazz muttered, Sam and Tucker looked to each other, and then they looked to Maddie, Jack, and Jazz, and put on faces of fake worry.

"At least we are all together!" Tucker said quietly, but then they hit the trees below them.

"OW!"

"Hey! Watch it!"

"Ghost! Ghost!"

"I never knew tree branches hurt this much!"

"OWWWWW!"

Everyone began shouting as they fell through the thick trees, their parachutes tearing, their skin getting scratched, and then they were separated. Maddie and Jack were together, Jazz was alone, Tucker was alone, and Sam was alone. They called out to each other from the jungle floor, but somehow they had gotten too far apart to hear each other. But one call cut through loud and clear.

"Help!"

It was Danny.
