Danny ran fast towards Fentonworks. He knew Amity Park inside and out by now because of almost a year of patrolling, and getting thrown through buildings. Which meant he knew that once he got onto Oak st. from Willow rd., he could turn on the third ally on the left, take a right turn and a left turn, he would end up right at the back door of his house.
He opened the back door, and ran past the basement and into the kitchen. He took his backpack off the floor, having lazily put it there after school that day and getting a snack out of the fridge. Now he wished his life was always like that. If his life was normal, he wouldn't have to live on his own for another three years. Three years was a long time in this case.
He ran over to he fridge and took out food that would last him at least a couple days. Then he went into the pantry and grabbed as many cans as he could fit in his backpack, and some old Amity Market bags. Then he ran up to his room.
He grabbed a couple of pairs of clothes out of his closet, and put them in a bag, along with a picture of his family, and a picture of him, Sam and Tucker making goofy faces at the camera. He wished he had a cell phone still, but after his dad smashed his last one, his parents discovered that all their lab equipment worked better when the cell phone waves weren't messing it up.
When he had finished packing, he ran outside. Realizing he would much rather take the specter speeder, which was now powered up by the ecto converter. He began to turn around, but stopped when he heard heavy footsteps that he knew could only belong to Sam.
"Danny!"
"Sam! Did you run all the way here?" He said, slightly surprised.
Her only answer was "Danny! You're leaving?"
"How did you even know that?"
Before Sam could answer though, another voice called out.
It was Tucker. "Danny! Don't leave!"
Danny was confused. "How does everybody know I'm leaving?"
"Danny, you can't leave. Everybody needs you! You're the only thing between ghosts, and this town's destruction. Besides... you're like a brother to me. We've done everything together. What would I do without you, dude?" Tucker had never expressed his feelings like this for as long as Danny knew him. Which was a long time.
"Sorry Tuck, I have to go. I need to know that none of you are going to get hurt and the only way to do that is to leave. I know you guys can handle yourselves against ghosts, but you won't have to if I leave. If I leave, the only ghosts that'll be here will be the ones Vlad will hire to keep watch for me, and the ones that I'll ask to watch for Vlad."
"Who will you ask? We have no idea where Danni is, Wulf probably clawed out of the ghost zone and could also be anywhere..." Sam trailed off obviously thinking of a reason all of Danny's ghost friends couldn't come, so that Danny would have to stay.
"I'll figure something out, Sam, but I have to go now or Vlad will think the deal is off." He walked back inside, followed by Sam and Tucker and took one more good look at the living room, taking in every detail as he walked past. He would most likely never see this house again. He would miss it a lot.
He walked down the stairs and into the lab. He paused at the bottom of the stairs, at the end of a lab table. On the corner sat a small pile of Fenton Fones. He gave a pair to Sam and Tucker, and took one for himself as well.
"Make sure my parents and Jazz know I have these. I'll try and talk to you guys sometime."
"Bye Tucker" He gave his long time friend a hug. He was sad, Danny could tell, but he was trying to be strong. Danny would never forget Tucker's sense of humor. Even if it was lame.
"Bye, Sam" He said sadly. She looked as though she was about to cry. He'd never seen Sam cry before. She was always the tough one. He liked that about her. He gave her one last long look.
With that, he walked over to the Specter Speeder, threw his bags in, and climbed in after.
His parents had built a new ecto converter after their last one was 'mysteriously' stolen. They had put it in the Specter Speeder so they could explore the ghost zone with out worrying about running out of energy, since the ghost zone was basically made out of spectral energy. After they put it in though, they realized they didn't have enough energy outside of the ghost zone to start it.
Danny, however, did.
He looked at his watch. 7:32. He had to be out in two minutes.
Then he realized that he couldn't start the Specter Speeder until the Plasmius Maximus wore off.
'Crap'
He got out, and walked around behind it, and pushed. It was a lot easier than he thought it would be. It was always floating, even when it wasn't on. His parents had done something with giant magnets to keep it that way. They were geniuses after all.
As soon as it got into the ghost zone, the engine roared to life. He turned back to his friends. "I'll miss you guys. Thanks for everything." His eyes then fell on Sam. "I love you Sam."
He jumped into the ghost zone after the Specter Speeder.
"I love you too, Danny." Sam replied quietly into the swirling portal, a single tear fell down her cheek. Her mind was having trouble registering that Danny was gone.
As soon as he was all the way in, his watch turned to 7:34, signaling that his three hours were up.
"Ah, good you're out. Oh and without a moment to spare." Danny whipped around, going ghost at the same time.
He lunged at Vlad, but caught only a whisp of purple smoke. Too bad. Danny was going to rip him to shreds for making him leave.
He turned around and phased through the Specter Speeder window. Then he set course to find a friend to help him out.
