Chapter Two
Skulkracked
"Gravity Falls is pretty strange." Wendy was saying, "But I bet you guys have seen crazier things, huh? I mean, your parents work with Danny Phantom. It's so cool!"
"Yeah," Danny gloated, "I guess it is."
Jazz resisted the urge to elbow her brother in the gut.
"But here's the Mystery Shack. I have an eternal summer job here, because Mr. Pines totally loves me." She grinned, "It's super cool."
"Hey, Wendy!"
"Huh?" Wendy turned around, seeing two kids- probably 13 or 14- dashing towards them, "Mabel! Dipper! Hey!" The two kids threw themselves onto her, hugging her tightly, "I missed you guys! Welcome back!"
"Thanks, Wendy." The girl said as the two pulled themselves off of Wendy, "Who are your friends?"
"These are my cousins, Danny and Jazz. Danny, Jazz, this is Dipper and Mabel."
"Nice to meet you!" Jazz chirped, shaking their hands.
"Same..." Danny grumbled awkwardly, shaking their hands.
"Hi..." The girl, Mabel, said, eyes wide.
"... Hi." Danny replied.
"You're pretty..."
"... Okay..."
"Anyways!" Jazz broke the awkwardness, "You guys are Wendy's friends?"
"Yup!" Mabel said, "Dipper had a super gross crush on her last summer."
Dipper rolled his eyes, "We don't talk about that."
Wendy laughed awkwardly, "Yeah. Definitely not."
"Who wants ice cream?" Jazz asked, "On me."
"Heck yeah!" Dipper and Mabel said, before breaking into giggles.
Danny had to admit, they were pretty adorable, "Sure, Ja-" He gasped, his breath billowing out in front of him, "Um... Actually, I have to do something..." He looked Jazz in the eyes, who nodded.
"Alright. Do what you gotta do, little bro."
He promptly disappeared into the trees. Once away from sight of anyone, he rolled his shoulders.
"I'm goin' ghost!"
Black to white, white to black, blue to green. Danny Phantom went intangible, dropping down through the ground.
Glad he could see through the ground, he saw Mabel, Dipper, Wendy and Jazz above him, and, just to piss Jazz off, shot up through the ground, right in front of her.
Jazz shrieked, and Danny grinned at her over his shoulder, "Sorry, Miss!"
He could almost hear her grinding her teeth, and it was hilarious.
"There you are, Ghost Boy!"
"Here we go..."
Danny turned to see Skulker grinning at him, hair aflame.
"What do you want, dude?" He demanded, "I'm on vacation. The least you can do is not try to kill me this summer."
"Yeah," Skulker deadpanned, "How about 'no'? I've got plans for you, Ghost Boy. Now that you've saved both of our worlds, you've got a nice price on your head."
"What?" Danny sniggered, "Trying to catch me so your so-called 'girlfriend' will take you back, again?"
"Shut up! I'm trying to capture you for my own personal reasons!"
"And because you don't like me?"
"That, too!"
Skulker came at him, throwing a punch. Danny dodged easily, swiveling around the other ghost and planting the sole of his foot in between his ribs and pelvis.
Skulker howled in response, throwing himself around and grabbing Danny by the front of his outfit, pulling him close so they were nose to nose. It would have been intimate, maybe, were they not trying to kill each other.
"You listen to me, Ghost Boy. If you thought keeping ghosts out of Amity Park was hard, just wait until we come through the portal here."
"There's a portal here?" Danny spluttered stupidly.
"Yeah, and when others come through, just know that they've got a reason to capture you alive."
Danny resisted the urge to throw up, and Skulker threw him towards the ground. He barely had time to go intangible before the ground came towards his face.
…
Aaaaaand another one!
I'll probably write another one tomorrow or the next day, so keep your eyes out!
