Hey guys, thanks to Sincerely The Sign Painter for the review. I appreciate your encouragement. Anyway, here's the next chapter, enjoy(:

Sam watched in horror as Danny was consumed in a wave of green light.
'Danny!' Tucker and her screamed at the same time. They raced forward but hesitated at the end of the entrance. They couldn't go in after him, it was too dangerous.

'We've got to turn it off somehow!' Sam cried desperately looking around. Tucker took out his PDA.

'I'm on it. I'll just hack into the control panel, override the system and-' he stopped when he realised the machine had turned off. He looked to Sam who was holding up an extension cord.

'Or you could just unplug it' she muttered exasperatedly.

Tucker didn't bother replying as they both ran over to Danny's rescue. They both paused it shock as they saw Danny lying unconscious in the portal. Well they assumed it was Danny. The boy in front of them looked very different to the friend they knew. It looked like all black and white colour on him had been switched. His previously black hair was now snow white and his jumpsuit was now mainly black with white gloves, shoes and belt.

They weren't quite sure whether to go over to him but all hesitation was lost when they heard the boy groan. They both ran over to him immediately, no matter what happened this was still Danny.

'Danny?' Sam said softly. This was all her fault, she thought to herself guiltily. She knelt beside him.

The boy stayed unresponsive, still not fully awake.

'We've got to get him out of here' Tucker insisted grabbing Danny desperately, only to have his hands go right through him. Sam and Tucker both gasped and jumped back in surprise.

'What was that!' Sam snapped looking at Danny in shock.

'I have no idea, I couldn't grab him. My hands just slipped right through him!' Tucker cried uncertain.

Sam tentatively outstretched her hand towards Danny and pressed her hand beside his face.

'Well he seems solid now.' she mumbled nervously. They stared indecisively at Danny for a moment.

'Come on. Let's get him out of here. We can figure this out later. We can't let his parents see him like this. They'll never let us near him again' Sam said determinedly lifting Danny by the shoulders. Tucker nodded in agreement and grabbed Danny's legs. They carried him up the stairs of the basement and all the way up the stairs t Danny's room. They panted from the exhaustion after setting him on his bed.

'Geez Danny owes me big time when he wakes up' Tucker muttered sitting on the end the bed.

'That's if he ever wakes up' Sam snapped in annoyance. Sometimes Tucker could be so selfish.

'Sorry, I know you're worried about him. I'm worried too. I was just trying to lighten the mood' Tucker mumbled looking worriedly at his unconscious friend. Sam nodded in understanding.

'I can't find a pulse' she said worriedly searching his neck for any sign of it.

'What? Doesn't that mean he's dead?' Tucker gasped in horror.

'He can't be, he's still breathing. It doesn't make any sense' Sam murmured anxiously.

Noise outside caught their attention. They glanced out Danny's window to see the Fenton RV pulling up outside. They nervously glanced at eachother then at Danny.

'We've got to get out of here' Tucker insisted. Sam frowned at him.

'We can't leave him like this!' she snapped. Tucker clenched his fists in frustration.

'Sam, if we stay they'll wonder why we're not with Danny. Then they'll wonder where Danny is. His best chance is if they think he's sleeping' Tucker explained.

'But what if only they can help him? It was their machine, after all' Sam objected.

'They'll still blame us Sam. What if they make us never see him again?' Tucker complained.

Sam looked uncertainly down at the sleeping boy. She knew she would never be able to handle that.

'Fine. Just wait' she sighed in defeat, grabbing a paper and pen from Danny's desk and scribbling anxiously, 'ok let's go'

They both glanced tentatively back at their sleeping friend before closing the door behind them. They headed down the stairs and as they passed the kitchen a voice stopped them.
'Tucker, Sam! What are you kids doing here?' Maddie Fenton's curious voice asked.

'And where's Danny? I want to show him this new invention I'm working on' Jack Fenton added.

'Um…we came here after school. It was a really tough day so Danny we told Danny to go to bed. It'd probably be best if you didn't bother him' Sam said making up the excuse as she said it.

'Oh that's nice of you two' Maddie said happily, 'I'm glad our Danny has friends like you'

'Yeah well we better be off. You know homework and stuff' muttered Tucker anxiously grabbing Sam and heading out the door.

'Did those two look a little anxious to you?' Maddie said suspiciously.
'Who wouldn't be anxious in front of Amity Park's two best ghost hunters' Jack insisted proudly.

Maddie smiled at him fondly, 'You're right dear, I'm sure I'm just overreacting'

Can I have another cookie?' Jack asked hopefully. Maddie smiled holding out a cookie.

Jack's face lit up and he grabbed the cookie delightedly, gulping it down hungrily.

Danny woke with a groan. He felt terrible, every muscle in his body ached. He sat up in bed and glanced at the clock on his dresser. It said 9:30pm. How long had he been asleep!

He stumbled out of bed and grabbed the dresser for support. A piece of paper crumbled under his hand. What's this? He thought as he grabbed the paper. Opening it he realised it was a note.

Danny

If you're reading this then you're awake. Tucker and I helped you back to bed after the accident. Look in the mirro but don't freak out. Call me when you get this.

Sam.

Confused he made his way to his bathroom. He lent on the sink exhausted and jumped back in surprise when he saw his reflection. What's happened to me? He thought desperately. Fighting his wobbly knees and ran back to his bedroom grabbing his phone anxiously. Sam picked up on the second ring.

'Danny? Thank god you're ok' she cried in relief.

'Sam, what's happened to me?' he insisted and Sam was silent for a moment.

'We're not sure. You came out of the portal like that' Sam told him uncertainly.
She then explained everything that had happened after the accident. The way he's slipped through Tuckers hands, his lack of pulse and the explanation given to his parents.

'But what does this mean?' Danny snapped in shock.
'I'm not sure…Danny I know you'll hate to hear this but…it's like you're a ghost' Sam mumbled softly.

'A ghost! But wouldn't that make me dead?' Danny gasped in horror. I just want to be normal again! He thought desperately. Suddenly a flash of light came from the middle of his torso. He watched as a ring of light split into two and travelled in opposite directions across his body. The lights disappeared and he looked up into the mirror to see his old self staring back.

'Danny? Are you ok? I heard you scream' Sam said worriedly.

'Sam, I don't know what happened but I'm me again' he cried joyfully.

'That's great Danny! Check for a pulse' she instructed and he did so, finding it easily.

'It's there!' he answered in relief. Sam sighed reassured.

'Then you're not dead. But it means something weird has happened to you. You're alive but you're a ghost. It doesn't make sense' she mumbled thoughtfully.

'We don't know for sure it has anything to do with ghosts, Sam' Danny insisted.

'Danny, you went into a ghost portal, went intangible and had no pulse. It sounds like a ghost to me' she said matter-of-factly. Danny grumbled in defeat, so much for staying out of his parents' business.

Hope you all enjoyed it. Please review, I would really appreciate it(:
