This is the second chapter of Ghostly Love as written by me. I know it's short but the next chapter picks up...by a hundred words or so.

DISCLAIMER: I in no way own Danny Phantom or the plot of this fic. That honor belongs to Cordria.

Chapter 2

There was no way that ghost could be allowed to fall in love with a human. Heck, it wasn't even possible. Maddie refused to consider it. Ghosts were unfeeling blobs of ectoplasm that were all malevolent and didn't care for humans.

But then…why was it so hard for her to believe that? She studied the interactions between both Phantom and Sam and wondered. The ghost boy was acting nervous and kept averting his eyes from Sam. Sam, on the other hand, was trying to get his attention.

Maddie leaned back against the bars of the cage, trying to figure out the mystery that was Phantom. He was obviously an unfeeling blob of ectoplasm but then why did everything go so wrong? Ghosts weren't supposed to feel but he did. Ghosts weren't supposed to care but he did. Why were all their theories so thoroughly debunked when it came to Phantom?

Maddie blinked and came out of her reverie when Sam asked, "Any ideas on what to do?"

"Have you tried phasing through the bars?" Phantom suggested, sending a look in Maddie's and Jack's direction.

"You know, I believe I would've met you on the other side if I could do that," Sam said.

"It doesn't work?" Phantom sighed and assumed a thoughtful expression. "I could just blast out of here…"

"Don't think about it, Danny," Sam said sharply.

"Why are you trusting that spook of a ghost?" Jack suddenly burst out.

"He's a ghost. So what?" Sam shrugged. "I trust him."

"He's a ghost, Sam," Maddie said. "You can't trust ghosts."

"Well I trust this ghost," Sam said defiantly.

"Uh, let's just stop arguing and concentrate on what we're going to do now," Phantom pleaded. "We don't know when those ghosts are going to come back."

"Ha!" Jack glared at Phantom. Maddie watched interestedly as the ghost seemed to flinch. "You're working with them aren't you?"

"Oh yes. That's exactly why I'm stuck in a cage with you guys," Phantom said sarcastically. "There's nothing I'd like more than to enjoy my time in a cage with two ghost hunters who would like to tear me apart molecule by molecule."

'Can a ghost have sarcasm?' Maddie wondered.

"Uh—" Jack didn't seem to have anything to say.

"Enough," Sam said firmly, placing a hand on Phantom's shoulder. "We need to figure out how we're getting out of here since Danny here was so smart as to fall into a trap."

"I already told you, Sam," Phantom muttered. The rest was lost in an undistinguishable murmur.

"What?" Sam cocked her head curiously.

Maddie was pretty sure about what had been said but still refused to believe it. It was impossible for a ghost to fall in love with a human. It was just wasn't possible. What's more, it wasn't allowed. It would be…it would be against the laws of nature.

"Any ideas, Danny?" Sam asked Phantom.

"Why are you calling Inviso-Bill Danny?" Jack demanded.

Maddie was amused to see a disgusted look cross Phantom's features. He really didn't like that name.

"Because his name is Danny," Sam explained before Phantom could say anything. "It's Danny Phantom."

"And not Inviso-Bill," Phantom said, rolling his eyes.

'Ghosts can be amused?' Maddie filed that piece of news away for later inspection.

"Anyway…" Phantom was pacing now. "We need to figure out how we're getting out of here." Maddie watched him warily. "Judging from those ghosts' appearance, it's safe to say we're—" He was cut off by a blue wisp of smoke that left his mouth. "Oh crud."

"A ghost?" Sam asked.

Her question left Maddie wondering how far Phantom's and Sam's relationship had progressed. If Phantom's behavior was any indication…

"I hope not." Phantom looked worried. "It is the Ghost Zone, meaning—"

"I have you under lock and key, punk," a new voice interrupted.

Maddie jumped and had to put a restraining hand on Jack to stop him from springing up and shouting.

She turned her head to see a ghost dressed in an immaculate white and black suit. He had a hat on and Maddie suspected he was bald. His green eyes glittered malevolently.

"Walker," Phantom growled, his green eyes flashing with anger.
