"Are we there yet?" Fenton asked (or to Phantom whined) for what seemed to be the thousandth time that day and it was really getting on Phantoms last nerve. They had to fly all the back across the country to get home in hopes to stop Techness in time, and all his human half could do was whine and keep asking the same question over and over again. To which Phantoms response was the same every time.

"For the last time Fenton, no we are NOT there yet." Phantom all but seethed, wishing he didnt have to drag around Fenton as dead weight, so to speak.

Fenton sighed loudly, letting his gaze fall to the earth below the both of them. "You know how we can get home faster." It was more of a statement then a question and Phantom knew it. He also knew what is human half was referring to and dismissed the idea completely.

"We are not stopping to ask for directions, we already tried that." Phantom heard another huff noise and looked down to see Fenton glaring up at him. Giving one in return he asked "What?"

Fenton ground his teeth together and crossed his arms over his chest the best he could, what with Phantoms ghostly tail being in the way and all. "That's because you're the one who does the talking!" He exclaimed, "If you'd stop being suck a jack-ass, I could-"

"You watch your mouth." Phantom warned cutting off Fentons sentence, his radioactive green eyes narrowed into almost slits, "And besides, I got us a map."

Fenton rolled his eyes, " Only because you scared the crap out of some man." He pointed out with a satisfying smirk.

Phantom looked down past his human twin at the ground and momentarily considered letting Fenton fall half way just to scare him into shutting up, if only for a while, but he dismissed the idea just in case things went sideways. "That was not my intention to do so Fenton, and you know it." Phantom hissed out that last part as he returned to the map to look it over some more. And in that moment, all was quiet, the only noise being that of a gentle breeze that blew the hair out of both of the boys faces. Phantom almost got lost in the peaceful silence before it was broken by his human counterpart.

"Dude, I'm hungry. "

Phantom mentally face palmed himself before looking back down at Fenton, who was looking up to him with a straight expression on his face waiting for an answer. "I'm sorry but I don't know what to do about that." He answered truthfully and Fenton gave him a look of utter disbelief.

"Dude, I NEED to eat so that I don't starve to death."

Phantom swore he felt his eye twitch with annoyance, he knows that Fenton needs to eat, but what could he do about it? "I know you need to, I'm not stupid. But what do you want me to do about it? "

Now it was Fentons turn to be annoyed, "Are you kidding me? Fly somewhere so I can get something to eat. "

"And do you have money for food?"

Fenton frowned up at Phantom before looking away, "No." He mumbled but Phantom heard it anyway.

"Then how do you plan on getting any food?" Phantom asked already knowing the answer to his question, a knowing smirk gracing his face.

" I was kinda hoping you'd go invisable and get it for me." Fenton said quietly hating thay he needed to depend on Phantom to make sure nothing bad happened to him, such as starving to death.

"Stealing?" Phantom asked with his smirk still in place and one eyebrow raised. "I'm afraid I can't do that, it would go against everything I stand for in the name of justice. " Of course he wouldn't makd Fenton die from lack of food or anything else his human half would need, but thay doesn't me he can't have some fun by making him beg for it.

Fenton on the other hand, looked like he was slapped across the face, "Oh, come on! " Fenton yelled feeling like it was so unfair of Phantom to be doing this to him.

Phantom carefully folded up the map before he floated down to be eye level with Fenton. "Didn't you eat before we got zapped here?"

Fenton just wanted to reach out and choke the ghost in front of him, "That was hours ago!" Phantom chuckled to himself, CHUCKLED! The action made Fenton more upset, how in the hell was this funny? "What are you laughing at!?"

"Oh nothing Fenton, " Phantom said before sighing, "Alright I'll get you something to eat."

Fenton blinked at the ghost in front of him, "Really?" He asked in disbelief.

Phantom smiled, "Of course, I wouldn't let anything happen to you if I can help it,"

At this, Fenton smiled for a moment at Phantoms words before frowning and narrowing his eyes, "What's the catch?"

"Simple really, you just have to ask me nicely." Phantom mused, putting his smirk back.

"Umm, please?"

"Please what?"

Fenton glared once more at Phantom, his hands curling up into fists. "Seriously? "

"Seriously. " Phantom said in a deadpan tone.

Fenton growled lightly and clenched both his teeth amd fists while turning red in the face from anger, "Fine. Phantom will you please find me something to eat? "

"Sure! Why didn't you say so?" Phantom mocked slightly before he flew into the nearest town to find Fenton a snack. "Wait here." He ordered before slipping into the store. Fenton leaned up against the side of the building with his hands stuffed in his pockets, thinking about home and how things might be going. A minute later Phantom came back with a bottle of water and a bag of chips. "Here." He said handing them to Fenton.

"Thank you."

"Anytime." Phantom looked at the sky and saw it was nearly night fall. Knowing that Fenton would get tired in the next couple hours, he soon added, " We should look for a place to spend the night."

"Good call." Fenton agreed while taking a drink of water.

After a while of looking around the new town they came across, the found a motel with a vacancy sign. Phantom then phased them threw the door of an empty room ( he checked them all and there wasn't a soul in sight. ) it was the farthest room away from the office. Both boys hoped and prayed that no one would check in and get the room they were in.

When more time passed, Fenton found himself getting sleepy so he curled up on the bed and closed his eyes, letting his brrathing even out so that he could enter the land of unconsciousness and dream of being back home. Phantom turned off all the lights so that Fenton could sleep better, leaving the only natural light shining in from the window. The moonlight landing on Fentons face as he slept, all his features at ease made Phantom himself feel at ease and smile small to himself. Carefully as to not wake him, Phantom sat on the bed beside his human self and watched him sleep. Before he could stop himself, his right hand reached out and gently brushed the black locks out of the humans face.

Then he stopped, pulled his hand back and frowned.

What was he doing? He wondered before going to the other side of the room, giving Fenton on last look. To busy himself, he thought about what they needed to do to get back home and what he had to do in the morning for Fentons breakfast. The boy couldn't eat chips all the time, it was unhealthy and Phantom wouldn't allow it.

All the while as one slept and the other thought over plans, both were unaware of the extra pair of blazing green eyes that watched their every move. Waiting, watching .

For the right moment to strike.
