CH 1 –

Danny couldn't believe it. It had been one whole year since the last camping trip and they were planning on taking them all on another! Of course this one though was supposed to make up for the one last summer and they were going to a different camp.

Some place in Kentucky apparently it had a lake, large field, and a camping ground with many cabins.

Danny could just remember last time with how walker had taken everybody and it was up to Sam, Danny and Wulf to get them back. Which they did and told everyone it was a dream that next morning when everybody had finally woken up.

Sam looked over at Danny who sighed at the memory but Sam didn't know that. She gave him a quizzical look.

"I'm remembering what had happened last year." Danny and Sam blushed remembering something else that had happened.

Danny had placed his arm behind Sam but on the log so she wouldn't quite notice but unknowingly to Danny she had. She had later found her self snuggled up to Danny's chest with his arms wrapped tightly around her and her head on his muscular shoulder. She had blushed and trued to move away but Danny was strong; even while asleep and when he awoke to Sam pulling away he blushed as well.

"That's blushy moment," their friend Tucker thought for a second and looked in his PDA, "seventy-four."

"TUCKER!" the clueless couple yelled at him. He smiled and turned around in his seat.

"Were here!" a voice called out. The students on the bus grabbed their belongings and followed Mr. Lancer out the door of the charter bus and onto the dirt ground.

The people automatically separated into groups: the popular group and the un-popular group.

In the popular group stood: Dash, Paulina, Kwan, Star and surprisingly Valerie and a bunch of other football players, cheerleaders, and rich snobs.

In the un-popular group was Danny, Sam, Tucker, Nathan, Mikey and other geeks, losers, nerds and so on.

Lancer began to call out who would be bunking with whom, "Dash, Kwan, Daniel and Tucker, are in Cabin seven!" all four of them groaned but Lancer ignored them and continued on reading as if they hadn't done anything, "Paulina, Star, Valerie and Samantha are in Cabin six!" Lancer stopped this time when he heard shouting coming form the girls. "Uncle Tom's Cabin(1)! People, settle down! No you can not switch cabin partners!" Lancer announced and continued with the list.

Everyone spent the rest of the afternoon making their beds and puling things out of their bags and setting stuff up. They were after all staying for three weeks.

Danny and Tucker left Dash and Kwan who were throwing a football back and forth and went to find Sam. They crossed the lane on dirt that was in between the odd numbered cabins and the even numbered cabins. Or as they would become known as between the boys side and the girls side.

Sam just stepped out the door as Danny and Tucker were halfway across the lane. She was on her way to get them wanting to get away form the horrors of gossip.

"So how's the little group of gossipers doing?" Danny asked readying himself for an outburst.

Sam smiled mischievously but it happened in a flash and soon it was gone replaced by a large happy smile, "They're great!"

"Well at least you don't… wait, you WHAT!" Tucker said trying to find service on his PDA, but looked up when he realized what she had said. Danny was staring at her open mouthed.

"Ya! I'm being serious! They're actually not as bad as what they seem." Sam tried to insist. Tucker just let his jaw drop. But Danny's face went into a sly smile.

"Ya, right Sam." Danny rolled his eyes then stepped a little closer to Sam his grin still there.

"No. I'm being serious."

"Are you sure?" Danny asked taking a step closer to his goth best friend, his arms crossed over his chest.

"Yes." Sam said worry in her voice at what Danny was going to do.

"Well then I guess you don't mind if I do this." Danny said and jumped at her and began tickling her. She hit the dirt laughing trying to get his hands away. "I'll only stop if you tell the truth." Danny smiled at her but a happy smile not a sly one.

Unnoticed to both of them tucker was video taping them on his PDA with a large grin on his face.

"Alright! Alright! I'll tell you!" Sam was able to laugh off without biting her tongue off. Danny stopped tickling her and both their faces her red of embarrassment but that didn't let that step in Sam's way. "They are just as bad as last year! Except I think they got worse." Sam told them. Tucker was to busy watching the action take place of the tickle fight to notice.

"How's Valerie? Is she your friend in there?" Danny asked with boredom covering his tone. Sam didn't take note of this. She was kind of mad that Danny would bring up Valerie, but Valerie had been become more of a friend since Danny and her had broken up.

"Blushy moment seventy-five." Tucker announced as he had finished watching the video.

The two raven-haired teens sighed and continued their conversation, "She's not really my friend in there but I bet when or if I get her away from them she'll be herself again." Danny just nodded. "I mean, has Lancer learned anything about us over the past two years?"

"If he has he sure hasn't shown any sign of his knowledge." Tucker replied checking on all the blushy moment to make sure he had written them all out.

"Got that right." Danny told him, "Come on lets get to the campfire." He told them and began walking again with his two friends following close behind.

After everyone had eaten dinner everyone was sitting around the fire chatting to one another. "Alright everyone listen up!" Mr. lancer yelled but no one quieted. "Everyone please be quiet!" still no one quieted down.

A loud whistle sounded through the camp grounds; the students stopped talking and turned their attention to Mrs. Testlaff. "Everyone shut it!"

"Thanks." Mr. Lancer dryly said. "So we were wondering if anyone wanted to tell ghost stories?"

Everyone started chatting excitedly. Mrs. Testlaff whistled again and everyone shut up. "If anyone would like to tell a story then raise you hand."

The first hands up were the populars. Paulina went first not really telling a scary story. Next was Kwan then Dash. Valerie told about when Danny and her had been trapped on Skulkers' Island but of course had changed the names. Danny had to try hard not to shout out and change some facts since she wasn't keeping to the correct story.

Star went after her and her story was even worse than Pualina's. Finally when no one raised his or her hands Danny did. "Mr. Fenton."

"What! Fenturd's not goin' to have anything scary at all!"

"Oh really Dash?" Danny had just planned on telling them about that kid who was watching TV behind the door when he had been looking for his parents' present way back when but knew that this wouldn't do since that wouldn't beat Dash.

"Yeah! I bet your story won't make me fall off this log when I'm so scared."

"Alright I accept."

"Danny!" Tucker and Sam looked at him. "If you're telling the story I think you're telling don't tell it!" Sam whispered to him hoping the others couldn't hear her.

"It'll be fine. Plus you guys have already heard it. And I'm not telling the entire thing. I haven't even told you guys the worst parts. Don't sweat it."

They shook their heads 'no' but Danny didn't listen to them.

"It all started when a half ghost – half human/ half ghost – named Travis was about to cheat on the C.A.T's…" Danny continued his story changing the names as necessary.

"… And from that day on he vowed that he would never turn into that and would protect his family promising that to them." Danny finished and looked up form the fire he had been staring into, to Dash who was already on the ground then over to his friends sad faces that were also looking into the fire.

"Was that a true story?" Star asked quietly breaking the never ending silence.

"Yes. Yes it was." Danny's voice said sadly and Tucker and Sam's heads snapped up looking at Danny who was looking into the fire remembering everything that had happened and went over what he had not told the rest of his classmates and teachers. Including his best friends. Sam had placed a hand on his shoulder but he didn't move.

No one spoke for the next five minutes. Just soaking in Danny's words. "Well I think that it's time to turn in."

They all jumped surprised when they heard Lancer but nodded and everyone headed to their separate cabins.
