The next day Jack had taken Danny and Dan out onto the strongest part of the branches at the top of the big tree they lived on and was starting them off with simply gliding down from branch to branch. Dan however as he glided down from branch to branch was being overconfident and too noisy.
"Dan please slow down" Jack pleaded.
As Dan continued he said, "Come on dad! I'm gonna be the best flier. That's because us ghosts of the Juba Cabra forests are best at everything"
Dan stopped for a second to catch his breath and then Jack caught up with him as he landed on the branch. Jack then said, "You have strength Dan but when it comes to hunting, all ghosts are best hunters for one reason alone…."
"Yeah I know" Dan groaned cutting Jack off. "Their silent flight. By the time I have my ecto blast ready…"
"The ghost deer will have run away from all the noise your making and then you and your family will go hungry" Jack cut in.
Danny then came out wearing his makeshift helmet as he said, "Dad I'm ready"
Jack chuckled and said as he took off his helmet, "Well young Guardian I don't think your first flying lesson will be that dangerous"
He then placed his hand on his shoulder and said, "Now son don't worry about how much noise you make at the beginning. Think of flying as second nature"
Danny then leapt off the branch and silently glided down and landed on the branch just above their house without a single noise. Jack smiled impressed and said, "Well done"
Dan scoffed and muttered, "Beginners luck"
Dan then glided down and once again made a loud noise as he landed on the branch, he nearly slipped off but managed to gain his balance. Jack flew down and landed on the house balcony.
Danny said then said to Dan, "Uh Dan, it helps when I picture where I'm gonna land"
"Come on I'll race ya" He then challenged.
Dan smirked and said, "Okay go!"
They both glided down and Danny landed on the balcony first, leaving Dan in second place. Danny smiled but then it dropped when Dan said, "Yeah you had a head start!"
"I did not!" Danny argued back.
Before they could argue anymore, Maddie came out and said, "That's enough boys. Jack we better get the boys inside, it's time for us to go on the hunt"
"Can we come with you guys?" Danny asked hopefully.
"Not tonight son but when the time comes at least you'll have the helmet for it" Jack said as he placed the helmet back on Danny's head.
Danny and Dan then walked inside the house. Maddie then asked Jack, "Jack I know Danny's a bit of dreamer. Do you worry about him?"
"Oh I worry about both of them" Jack answered. "It seems like yesterday they were only babies and now, well you know they'll soon be grown up and leaving to lead their own lives. I just want them to be prepared"
Maddie smiled warmly at her husband and then kissed him. She then said, "They'll be fine"
Jack smiled back at them and then they both took to the air and started heading deeper into the forest to go hunting.
Meanwhile as Dan and Danny were about to sit down on the couch, they both suddenly heard Dani scream from her room.
Dan and Danny ran to her room and saw her looking afraid as she accidently let off an ecto blast and hit the wall of her room. Danny then asked in concern, "Danielle are you okay?"
Lunch Lady rubbed her back in comfort and said, "Its okay dearie. Just take a few deep breaths and calm down"
After accidently letting off one more blast and hitting the wall, she did what her nursemaid said and calmed down. No more blasts came and she asked, "What just happened?"
"It was your first power accident dearie" Lunch Lady answered.
"My first? You mean it'll happen again?" She asked feeling a little scared.
"Don't worry its natural" Lunch Lady said. "I wish I had my camera out for this. All young ghosts has accidents as their powers start to come. In fact I have photos of your brother's first power accidents. I'll show them to you"
Both the boys groaned in embarrassment and left the bedroom as Lunch Lady went to get her photo album to show Dani the photos. As the boys went back into the living room Danny whispered, "Dan do you want to go out and practice a bit more flying on the branches?"
"What? So you can go and show off again? I don't think so" Dan scoffed.
Danny then smirked and suggested, "Oh maybe you're right. Maybe we should just stay inside and play Battle of the Evil Ghost King again"
Dan's eyes widened and then he gave a look of annoyance and decided that practising flying was better than doing that again.
