Hullo! :D
OHA here (obviously)
ANYWAY:
There will probably never be a mailbag, because I'm writing these stories ahead of time, so if you want me to answer any questions, just go PM me, k?
Other words/thoughts:
DON'T GIVE ME ANY FLAMES, OKAY? NOBODY REALLY APPRECIATES SOMEONE TELLING HIM OR HER THAT THEY SUCKED AT EVERYTHING. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS FINE, BUT ANYTHING OTHER THAN THAT ISN'T REALLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

Disclaimer: I'll see if I can buy Danny Phantom, how about that?

Oh yeah, the part about ghosts only needing water was inspired by ghostgal, who also wrote a story on here. In their story, ghostgal said that ghosts only needed water to survive. So, I googled it, and a bunch of sites said it was TRUE. (Some sites said ghosts also drank blood, but do you honestly think I'd write that?) Anyway, I got the IDEA (among others) about ghosts needing only water to survive from ghostgal, but I actually did research about the topic, so technically I'm not stealing. Also, since I gave ghostgal credit, you can't sue me :D So HAHA!

Maddie shook her head. Dani obviously couldn't be Danny's daughter biologically. Danny was only two years older than her! That would be impossible for her to have any direct connection to Danny, no the similarities were just coincidental. Right?

Right. Maddie thought firmly, then continued on with her speech about ghosts. Right after she finished, however, something went wrong.

Of course it would.

First, the lights in the Specter Speedster turned off, and time seemed to stay still.

Then they began to fall. With no power to keep them floating, they were like sitting ducks. Staying still in the Ghost Zone isn't a good thing. First off: A ghost could find you. Second: If you don't keep moving, you fall. It was sort of like Jell-O. When you moved an object around on it, the surface was bouncy. When you let the object settle, though, it sank. Or fell. Which is what was happening right now.

"Everyone, hold onto your seats!" Danny yelled, then managed to unbuckle himself and stood up. "Engaging emergency thrusters! Target: Nearby landmass .2 kilometers, northwest! 27 degrees North, 46 degrees West, 13 degrees East, 4 degrees South in case of needed direct location. Also: Engage back-up power source-lights!" Danny belted this out like a quarterback.

For a moment, nothing happened. Then, they suddenly jerked as though strings attached to the ship were being pulled tight. Everyone held their breath as they waited to see if the ship would start moving towards Danny's destination.

Then everyone let out the breath as the ship started moving northwest, according to a couple compasses some students had.

"Danny, you did it!" Mrs. Fenton cried and gave her son a huge hug.

"Later, mom. I want to check out the control panel. Sam, can you hand me the tool set? It should be in the supply closet in the back, second drawer from the right. Mom, can you make sure Dad's okay? He was piloting this thing last time I checked. Make sure he's not sleeping, or see if he's still breathing as a matter of fact. Something's telling me this didn't happen on accident." When he saw everyone was staring at him, Danny said "What?"

Everyone jumped a little bit, then Sam and Maddie started to do what Danny had asked of them.

When Sam handed him the toolbox, Danny rubbed his hands together. "All right, let's see what's up." Danny walked over to where a spot was clear of seats. Pulling the rug off the floor revealed a hatch, which Danny then pried open to reveal a mess of different colored wires. Some were broken in half and fizzed every now and then, while there were gaps in the mess that indicated there were some wires missing.

Danny swore under his breath as he studied the mess. "Well, this rules out some ghost culprits."
"Which ones?" Sam asked, looking over his shoulder.

Danny counted on his fingers. "Lunch Lady, Box Ghost, Ember and Aragon. Someone who has technological experience did this, because anything important is missing, while anything useless is still here." Danny looked up suddenly. "Did any of you wish that something exciting would happen?"

Everyone shook his or her heads.

"I wished for the Ghost Boy to appear." That was Paulina.

"A new football, or extra arms." Dash

"What Dash said." Real original, Kwan.

Most of the girls wished for clothes or the Ghost Boy (minus Valerie and Sam.)

The boys, the same as Dash and Kwan. (Mikey wished to be left alone.)
"Okay, so it wasn't Desiree then." Danny decided. "That leaves Skulker, Walker, Technus, possibly Fright Knight (Though I doubt it), and least likely, Pointdexter. He IS a nerd, after all."

"I resent that." Tucker and Mikey said in unison.

Danny snorted, just as Maddie reentered the room.

"Danny, your father said everything was just fine until he heard some '80's lingo, like 'I am the HIPSTER!' before everything crashed." Maddie reported, with said husband in tow.
"Okay, now we know the culprit: Technus. There are only two people in the world I know that fail epically at 'cool speak'; Technus and Mr. Lancer." Danny smirked.
Luckily, said teacher was in the bathroom throwing up his breakfast due to having such a 'thrilling experience' a few moments ago.

"Come on, Tuck. Let's go help Dad with fighting Technus." Danny said, after concluding that he couldn't help the control panel work.

"Already on it, man." Tucker said, typing on his PDA frantically. "Do you think he changed his security password from last time?"
"Nah, the dude's stuck in the '80's still. He obviously still loves Michael Jackson's music." Sam answered, following her two best friends.

The door to the main room shut behind them as the entered he cockpit, leaving behind some confused classmates, a worried mother, and a ghost zone sick teacher.

_THIS IS A LINEBREAK_

"Okay, Tuck. Do your freaky magic on that gizmo. Sam, get the thermos ready once we exploit this poltergeist." Danny ordered. His friends stared at him before Sam cracked a smile.

"You read Harry Potter's biography way too much." (A/N: Yes, in this world, Harry Potter is a real person XD What? It's a cartoon.)

Danny snickered. "What? I've met Peeves, Nick, the Gray Lady, the Fat Friar, and the Bloody Baron. How can I NOT use Peeves as an example? Anyway, when Technus comes through, he'll probably put up a fight. If he does, I'll attack him. Sam, you get him in his moment of weakness, okay?"
"Aye aye, Captain." Came the mocking reply.

"Okay, I told you not to bring that up!" Danny moaned. Last week, having no clean pj's, Danny had been forced to wear some of his old pj's. The only pj's that still fit, however, were blue pj's with pictures of SpongeBob & Co. decorating it. It was a Sunday, so Danny was sleeping in when his friends came in.

Danny woke up to the sounds of muffled laughs and a couple camera flashes. (A/N: You can probably guess what happened.)

Sam opened her mouth to reply when Tucker cut on. "Listen, you two lovebirds. You can continue you're little 'spat' later. Right now we need to fix this ship so it won't immediately explode on us any second."

"WE ARE NOT- oh, you know the rest." Both cross teens replied sullenly.

Tucker rolled his eyes, but wisely kept his mouth closed. If his friend's wanted to be stubborn and blind, then fine by him. "Okay, I'll need five minutes, max."

"Okay, tell us when. Sam, please don't uncap that thing until Technus appears. If I have to go ghost, I don't want to be sucked in. Again."

Sam just rolled her eyes in reply, but did as he told.

A few minutes later…

"Okay, now!" Tucker yelled as he pressed the 'Enter' button. Instantly, green mucus oozed out of the control screen, even though there wasn't a scratch on any of the equipment.

"Eww…"The three friends said in unison. Then the green slime rose and formed into Technus.

"Beware the totally cool and hip Technus, dude! Like, who's ready to get the quote-on-quote 'smack down' by me, Master of all things electronic or electricity pow-AHH!" At some point during Technus' rant/speech, Sam had broken out the Fenton Thermos while Danny-still in human form-blasted some ecto-blasts, effectively pinning Technus to the opposite wall.

"Argh! Fools, how dare you trap the mighty Technus!" Said ghost shouted, then shrunk a little and got out of the bonds holding him against the wall. He flew at Sam, who was the one with the weapon, when Danny jumped in front of her and threw up a shield.

"Yeah, Technus. Sorry, dude, but I can't help but pick up some bad vibes from you!" Danny laughed, while Technus growled and swiped a punch at Danny. Danny dodged, but Technus threw another punch and caught Danny in the arm.

"OW! You know, for a techno-geek, you sure punch hard." Danny muttered.

"I resent that!" Tucker shouted again, but this time with Technus.

"Yeah right, Technus. You think you're so hot, but you need to cool down!" Danny said, than iced Technus, trapping him in a block of ice, save his head.

"By the way," Sam said walking up. "You are so not cool."

The trapped ghost immediately began declaring how 'cool' he was, until Sam activated the Thermos and sucked him inside, thankfully shutting him up.

"Finally! Something good happened!" Danny cheered.

"Uh… guys? We might have over looked something." Tucker said nervously.

"What's gonna almost kill us now?" Danny said, instantly at his side. His friend was rarely this serious, so whatever happened must be important.

"Technus hacked our… well, everything. Meaning, if he turned right, so did the ship. Left, we go left. So when he goes down…"

"So do we." Sam finished. "Should I tell the others?"

"No. They'll all wet their pants. I think it's time for 'crazy idea time'." Danny scrunched his eyebrows.

Tucker snorted. "Don't we always? Anyway, what does the Great One have in store for us?"

Danny made a face at the nickname some ghosts called him, before he replied. "Just move over, okay?"

Danny's idea finally dawned on his two friends.

"You're not telling us that you're really going to fly this thing!" Sam spluttered out.

"Well, I'm at least going to try." Danny replied, starting to flip certain switches. "Besides, I once had to fly a real space shuttle. How hard can a hovercraft be? Plus, that was pulling an object that weighs a couple thousand pounds out of a steep nosedive. This is just gliding pretty much a school bus to the nearest chunk of rock in this place. I can totally do this."
Tucker made a face. There were two things Fenton's were famous for: their love of baked goods, and being stubborn. "Dude, if you die I am so not coming to your funeral."

Danny faked a wince. "Ooh, harsh. Now then, can you guys kindly shut up?" With that, Danny finally turned off the autopilot that was barely keeping them floating and began driving.

There were a few jolts here and there, and at one point Danny became so nervous the floor of the cockpit became intangible for a moment, but eventually they touched down on a trusty piece of floating rock Danny more than once had made a pit stop on.

Danny took a deep breath and wiped some of the sweat off of his brow. "Come on, let's get out of here." Danny went over to the door and opened it, only to be immediately tackled in a bear hug.

"Danny!" Jazz cried practically lifting her little brother up into the air.

"Jazz, uh, calm down!" Danny huffed as he struggled to breath.

Jazz realized this and put her sibling back down on the ground. Then she looked at her brother and frowned. "Danny, are you okay? You look paler then usual."
"Uh, really?" Danny rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"What did you do now?" It was more of a statement then a question, and everyone present that didn't know Danny's secret raised an eyebrow at Jazz's tone of voice. Almost like she was used to the fact that Danny did… something on a daily basis, and Jazz had long ago given up on trying to help him.

"Danny flew the Specter Speedster!" Tucker burst out suddenly, and Jazz blinked.

"Danny…" She began slowly, and Danny threw a glare at Tucker.

"See, Tuck? THIS is why I don't always tell Jazz what we do! You know she over reacts!" Danny turned back to his sister and nervously stepped away. "Your not mad, right Jazz? I mean, I had to fly the Specter Speedster!"
"And WHY, might I ask!" Jazz said with her hands on her hips scowled.

"Because Technus stopped the Specter Speedster from moving, and we would've fallen out of the sky if Danny didn't fly the thing!" Sam said, standing beside her friend with an eyebrow raised.

"Wait, what?" Everyone behind Jazz said.

Danny took a deep breath and explained. "Technus is this bad ghost who hates me, Sam and Tucker. And Jazz to, I guess, because she hangs out with us. Anyway, Technus was the ghost that interrupted our scheduled flight and had us nearly crash. Because this was like then hundredth time he's attacked us in some way, we knew what to do. Tucker, using his PDA, takes Technus out of whatever electronic he's currently in. Then he usually fights, which is where I do my thing and either knock him out, or at least wind him. Then Sam zaps him with the Fenton Thermos." Danny produced the Fenton thermos Technus was currently in and shook it, hard. Everyone not used to Technus jumped when they heard the angry yells coming from the container.

Then Tucker picked up the story. "So, everything goes to plan. Technus always forgets to change his password for the next time we meet, so it's not that hard to remember the words 'Michael Jackson Pwns' as his, let's put it this way, front door key. So, Technus oozes out of the computers in goo form, then remolds and attacks us. Danny kicks him across the room, and for a moment Technus just stays against the wall before attacking Sam. Danny, being the hero he is, just has to save her and ends up being punched by Technus, which is almost as sad as being dissed by Pointdexter." Tucker just slowly shook his head in mock-embarrassment.

"Okay, seriously? Do I have to do what I did last time?" Danny said narrowing his eyes. What Danny had done the last time Tucker had pushed the limit was overshadow Tucker and have him smash his favorite PDA and ask Sam out, which resulted in Tucker being slapped right as Danny phased out of him.

Tucker winced and touched his cheek, almost imagining the bruise still being there. "Okay man, not cool. And Sam, why the heck do you have to punch so hard?"
Sam rolled her eyes. "I didn't punch you, I slapped you. There's a difference."

"Yeah, but both end up with me being physically hurt!"
"Your point was?"
"GUYS." Danny interrupted their argument.

"Right. Okay, my turn." Sam said and continued on with their little adventure. "So, we beat the stuffing out of Technus. Then Tucker, being the genius he is, realizes that right after we get rid of Technus means we lose all auto-pilot control and have to assume manual control, all the while the stupid ship were in is going to pull a Titanic and sink into the depths of the Ghost Zone. This being said, it meant two things: Tucker is an idiot,"
"HEY!"
"And we were about to crash. Then Danny's astronaut simulation experience sets in, coupled with the fact that he helped built the darn thing, allowed him to fly the ship and steered us to safety, flying us towards the closest non-hostile chunk of land, which were on. Unfortunately, this chunk of land is nowhere NEAR the Fenton portal, although I suppose this is a good thing because now we're nowhere near Skulker's island, which then means that Danny isn't going to be hunted. Again. So, any questions?"

Tucker shook his head in disbelief. "Sam, you're the only person I know that can tell the tale of someone flying a hovercraft, but make it sound like it's the easiest thing ever."
"Can it, Foley. Now, can we get off this thing so we can start to head home?"

Danny snickered. "Geez, Sam. You almost sound like you want to go home."
Sam rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well, I have to go to some random relative's wedding in a few days, and this is one of the few people in my family I'll actually tolerate, so I don't want to miss it. Plus, it was my mom's idea to make me the flower girl." Sam gagged as she picked up her luggage and walked off the ship.

Once everyone and their stuff were loaded off the Specter Speedster, Danny told them to drop their luggage.

"Look, guys. Basically, were going to be walking a few miles if we want to get back home. So, only bring a few things, like food. In fact, just food."
"What about water?" Dash asked.

Danny shrugged. "Water is the only thing ghosts need once they live in the Ghost Zone. So…" Danny walked over to a medium sized boulder and gave it a push. Instantly there was the sound of gurgling water, which filled the air. "Ta da." Danny said, than scooped up some water in his water bottle and drank it. Seeing some scandalized looks, Danny quickly added another true fact about ghosts. "Don't worry, another ghost necessity is cleanliness. When you die, you don't have all the same properties of skin you have when your alive, because you can turn intangible at will. Therefore, pestilence is a constant threat because ghosts are more vulnerable to germs than humans. So, this is fresh, clean water."

"Daniel, how do you know this?" Mr. Lancer asked, flabbergasted.

"Internet?" Danny's answer sounded like more of a question, but Mr. Lancer was satisfied with it. At least for now.

"Let's start moving then, okay? Leave any thing other than your water bottle, food, and Fenton weapons. Sam, Tucker, Mom, Dad, Jazz and yes you Valerie will all share your weapons with each other.

"What about you, Danny?" Star asked, curious.

Danny grinned. "Don't worry, I've got a… reputation in the Ghost Zone. Most ghosts flee at the sight of me, as a matter of fact. You'll see later on, though, just how awesome I am here."
"Don't let it go to your head, oh 'Great One'." Sam said and smacked Danny upside the head.

Danny just snorted before turning back to the group in general. "Load your suitcases onto the Specter Speedster."
"But why?" Paulina whined. "I bought all kinds of new clothes in case I saw the Ghost Boy!"
Danny rolled his eyes. "Because if we get attacked by ghosts, how fast do you think you can run with luggage. Talk about carry-on baggage, you'll just 'carry on' to spend the rest of your existence in this place! And if you leave your baggage behind and a ghost finds it, they'll be able to track you by your scent. Trust me, been there, scar that." Danny made a face.
Everyone realized Danny was right and loaded his or her clothes onto the Specter Speedster.

Once they were done, Danny walked over to the Specter Speedster and lifted a small panel from the wing plating. Looking up, Danny met his parents questioning gazes, and Danny sighed as he began to explain again.

"A few months ago, I installed a button that when pushed, no matter where the Specter Speedster was, it would pop back into our basement. This was because a few months ago I got captured by a couple of ghosts, and for a few minutes before I got knocked out, the Specter Speedster was with me. If I had this button back then, I could have written some sort of note and probably would've gotten help sooner before I was late to school." Danny gave a pointed glance towards his two best friends.

"So wait, that time when you came in halfway through the day back in November and I gave you detention, it was because you'd been kidnapped by a ghost?" Mr. Lancer broke in. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Danny snorted. "Do you honestly think you would have believed me back then? Anyway, this button still isn't able to bring anything that's alive to the basement, unless you want a body on your hands. Trust me, we tried with a goldfish…" Danny sighed. "Poor Guppy… he STILL blames me." Danny glared at Tucker.

"Okay, Danny, it seemed like a good idea at the time!" Tucker held up his hands defensively, but Danny just sighed.

"I'm pushing the button." He said a little harshly. "Oh, and by the way?" A whirring noise started as the button began to activate. "HIT THE DECK!" Danny yelled, then threw himself on the floor. Everyone followed suit once they realized something major was about to happen.

There was a bright golden light for a moment, than it suddenly cut off after a few minutes.

"Alright, let's get moving. That implosion/portal button probably grabbed some of the wrong kind of ghost's attention." Danny said as he got up and brushed the dirt off his clothes. "Follow me."
"And why should we follow you, Fenturd?" Dash sneered.

Danny sighed. "Dude, do you honestly think I made all these ghosts enemies through them coming into OUR world? The answer is no. Basically, because Murphy's Law doesn't give a CRAP about what I think, it decides to throw ghosts at me every freaking day! It's like karma is eternally p-oed at me! So would you for once just shut up and not look in a mirror or something? Now come on; if anyone says ONE WORD in the next ten minutes, I am taking the LONG way home, okay?" With that Danny turned and stomped away.

"Darn it, Danny!" Sam shouted angrily. Then she turned to Jazz. "He didn't eat any breakfast, did he?"
Jazz's eyes widened and she also groaned. "Curse his accelerated metabolism!" She muttered. Sam sighed, than pawed through her backpack until she pulled out a granola bar.

"I'll go give this to him." Sam rolled her eyes, than raced after the retreating back of her grumpy friend.

Tucker also groaned and followed his best friends.

Mr. and Mrs. Fenton looked at Jazz, who sighed. "I guess because Danny hasn't gone to his yearly doctor visit yet you don't know." Jazz began in a whisper to her parents.

"Basically, since the accident Danny has had a slight accelerated metabolism, meaning he needs to eat often or else his body fails him. The perk of all this is that Danny heals at a faster rate the more he eats as he's resting. I've seen an entire bruise disappear in half an hour because Danny was eating chips the entire time and not doing anything else.

"Since Danny didn't eat his breakfast today because we were all rushing to get to school on time, add in the fact of what just happened in the last hour, Danny is literally running on empty. The last time I saw Danny almost as snappy as he is right now was just moments before he passed out for a couple hours.

"Sam, Tucker and I think that when Danny got in the accident almost a year ago, some ectoplasma infused with his human DNA, making him the way he is today." Jazz was careful with what she said, just giving enough information to comfort her parents without blowing her brothers secret.

"Oh, does Danny know?" Mrs. Fenton asked.

Jazz shook her head. "We don't want Danny feeling anymore nervous or uncomfortable then he already does, with all these ghosts attacking him already."
"True." Mrs. Fenton said, before her violet eyes flashed. "Why didn't you ever tell us about these attacks?"
"Teenage ignorance, Mom. I once did a research paper on it. Basically, kids become so confident in themselves that they can do something, that by the time they realize there out of their league with whatever they are dealing with, their in to deep. Danny and his friends could have easily died quite a few times, but the fact that they rose to the challenge of ghost fighting is where you have to give them credit. I've seen Danny in battle before. He's a natural if I've ever seen one. I think that once Danny was getting the hang of ghost fighting, he almost didn't want your help because secretly, inside I think he wants to make you proud. And you know dad's never been one to share the spotlight, before."

"Your right, Jazz. I should have seen this coming. Danny has been becoming distant lately, he's probably just inadvertently trying to show he's a big boy now," Maddie Fenton cracked a smile. "Now come on, let's catch up with the group."
