I'm trying to update as much as I can this weekend because I can tell that I probably won't get any thing up next week. I know! It's so sad! But yeh here is the third chapter and once again thank you to every one who reviewed!

I was dead, I hadn't read any of the assigned reading because Skulker had gotten out last night; and just my luck, Lancer was giving a test on the assigned reading; which I hadn't read. This test was not going to help my average, seeing as I had a 72 and one more failed test would sink my average.

This just was not my day, First thing today my parents had shown Jazz and I their new creation, the "Fenton ghost tracker/ gabber". It was a combination ghost tracker and ghost gabber; but the best part is that it now had an internal memory chip that if a ghost picked the thing up it would read their ecto - signature and keep a record of when they touched it, how long they had it, and what they did with it. This meant I could no longer touch the thing, much less destroy it; now I actually had to ask Jazz to do destroy it for me. But my bad luck didn't end there; when I was walking to school I ran into Ember; she was terrorizing a record store because they wouldn't carry enough of her merchandise. So after that fight I had to run to school, but in the end that didn't matter; this is because even though I ran, I was still late; so now on top of every thing else I have to do, I now have a after school detention. So as you can tell, this is not my day.

"Mr. Fenton," barked Mr. Lancer, "I want a word with you after class," great, just what I need to make my day perfect, a little chat, with my English teacher.

After every one finished the test, the rest of class was uneventful; it was basically the same old, same old; so Sam, Tucker, and I passed notes.

"Danny, what's up? You seem really distracted."That was Sam for you, always perceptive,

"Yeh, I'm fine I just have a lot of stuff on my mind, it was really weird though, I was fighting Ember and the only thing she was mad about was that the store didn't have enough of her merchandise."

"That's not like her, she's usually the only ghost that doesn't go around trashing things randomly, and that sounds pretty random." Tucker could always catch onto things pretty quickly.

"That's what I thought too! It was like she wasn't really fighting me, it was more like a distraction; then suddenly she said that she would be keeping an eye on me and then she disappeared."

"That can't be good Danny, if she really was a distraction you need to figure out what she was distracting you from and how to stop it! "

Before I could reply to Sam's note the bell rang; that meant it was time for a talk with Mr. Lancer. As the rest of the class filtered out Sam and Tucker gave me a look that told me they were sorry they couldn't be with me, and walked out.

"Take a seat Mr. Fenton, I don't have a class next period and this talk might get lengthy." I didn't like the sound of that, it was bad enough that I was failing Mr. Lancers class now but I had chemistry next, not something that I was naturally gifted at. And I was missing the lecture that would probably be on the next test; oh well, that'll be just another class I'm failing.

"I don't know where to start Danny, at the first six weeks you were fine, the second six weeks your grades dropped, but that is to be expected, but the grade drop hasn't stopped; now you are lucky to get a passing grade at all. This doesn't make sense, why would a student at the first six weeks be fine, and then all the rest of the year scrape the bottom of the barrel to get a 70?" disappointment riddled his voice, he and I both knew that I could do better, it's just that he didn't know the reason why I couldn't do better.

"I know Mr. Lancer, I've just been really busy and I forget," that sounded really lame and I knew it, but hopefully he'd take it and just leave me alone; but the look on his face told me that this was not the last time that I would be hearing of this.

"Well Danny if that truly is the problem, you wouldn't mind coming in every day after school to my room for tutorials, that way you won't forget anything."

"But Mr. Lancer I can't-"

"That Will be all Mr. Fenton, here is you pass to go to chemistry, and I will see you after school," just the way he said that let me know that if I didn't show I would wish that I had,

"But Mr. Lancer my cell phone isn't working so I have no way to tell my parents that I'm here." Hopefully that would derail him.

"Don't worry about that, I've already told them about this and the agreed and said that it would be for the best. Oh and before I forget, this will replace your detention that you got this morning so don't worry about going." He almost sounded smug, like he knew I was going to do that!

"Well then Mr. Lancer I better be getting to Chemistry." As he handed me the pass to get to class I had a sudden feeling that my bad luck was far from over.

Deep in the ghost zone the council of elders are at work making sure that their carefully laid plans would work,

"Grim" stated Clockwork, "are you sure that Daniel isn't going to be any where near the house?"

"Of course I'm sure! Last night I got Skulker to go Daniel's house and distract him from doing his home work, so he'd fail the test and the boy's teacher would make him stay after school."

"Danny is very creative when it comes to getting what he wants; just remember that Grim. Dianne, did you make sure he can't get out of the school?" Clockwork was making sure that there were no cracks in the plan,

"Yes, this morning I sent Ember to distract him long enough so that he'd be late and get a detention, and I have Skulker, Ember, and Technus, keeping an eye on the school to make sure that he doesn't get out." Dianne had been thorough, but she left one fatal crack,

"Dianne," the time ghost was trying hard to be patient with her, "Daniel has a ghost sense; he'll sense them before they can even get close to the school."

"That would be true; if I hadn't given them concealment pendants. Tick-Tock, we have every thing under control, the prophecy does say, "The ones of eternal will guide this prophecy", trust me...we have this under control." Though she wouldn't admit it, Dianne was worried about Clockwork and Danny, neither of them asked for this.

"Well in that case it's almost time," Clockwork spoke very slowly, each syllable drenched with the knowledge about what his two friends were about to do. Danny wouldn't realize what had happened until it would be too late, but by then they would be too far into the prophecy to stop it.

"Come on Dianne! We all have other things we have to do before tonight is over." Instead of replying Dianne just flew out to join Grimm, she knew Clockwork was having a hard enough time staying in the ghost zone trying not to tell Danny about what was happening; he didn't need to have them drag out what they needed to do.

As Clockwork got back to his lair, he was pondering the prophecy; it gave no detail as most did, the thing was just fourteen little lines, while some less important prophecies were pages long. Into the darkness unconsciously, Clockwork quoted the prophecy, word for word,

"At the time when two are stuck between the worlds,

The younger will rise in good

While the older will plot to become his ruler

The ones of eternal will guide this prophecy

While the greatest evil plots to destroy and rule

At the brink, the younger's secret will be unmasked to those he loves

By none other than the time controller

After such time whether the world will be plunged into darkness, or be bathed in light,

This depends on the might and will of the last of his kind

Many will try to recreate this wonder which is called a halfa

But only one will come close,

But the clone will become a full ghost

Not being able to hold her human half

This is the destiny of the fated one, the last of his kind."

As the time ghost slowly drifted off, our story returns back to Earth where two ghosts are getting ready to put phase one of the prophecy into effect.

"Lay off of Tick-Tock, Grumpy," Dianne told Grim, "you know he hates doing this to Danny and you just keep rubbing it in his face!"

"Dianne I wouldn't "rub it in his face" if he would do what he's supposed to!" Needless to say, the Grim Reaper was not pleased with current events; he was upset that Clockwork was sulking around not doing what he's supposed to, leaving the work to him and the princess of happiness.

"Come on Grumpy, all we have to do is destroy this house before Danny gets out of the school. Remind me again why you don't just wave your scythe around and just get the job done; it would seem a lot easier." After Dianne's little interjection Grim decided to tell her the exact reason why he wouldn't do that.

"Because if I used my ghost powers there would be no logical explanation as to why a perfectly good house was demolished and because I would leave traces of ectoplasm. This is bad because it is unusual for an empty house to self destruct, and Danny will investigate it and ectoplasm will be the first thing that he will look for. We have to make it look like an accident; we can't have him snooping around here before the time is right." Though Dianne didn't show it, she was mildly impressed with Grim for taking such care in making sure this went as smoothly as possible.

"Alrighty then, what do we do?" though she was impressed she just didn't understand how the house was coming down.

"Dianne," at this point you could tell that Grim was trying his best to keep a calm, level head, if only for Clockwork, "I will explain this one time; do you see that construction equipment?"

"Yes,"

"Good, now our job is to move all of that equipment to this house so that when the construction workers come tomorrow morning they will be the ones to destroy the house so that there will be no ectoplasm riddled among the remains." Though Dianne would never be described as dumb, there were a few moments in her existence that she was caught "off balance"

As the two elders finally finished moving the construction equipment, Danny was finally free to go home since his tutoring session was over. But the only thing was that Danny couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen tomorrow that wasn't going to be pretty.

Once again, Danny was too right; the house the elders were going to destroy was empty, no one had ever lived there, and no one ever wanted to; when ever anyone went into that house, when they came out they all said that they got weird vibes from it. This is because that house was never meant to be lived in, it's only purpose was to keep the natural ghost portal ,that was directly underneath it, hidden so that no human could find it; and no ghost could get out.

Now every one knows that Jack and Maddie Fenton have a ghost portal in their house, but what most people don't know, is that all portals have a certain amount of power they can let out, and in. For example, the Fenton's portal in their home is very strong, seeing as it did let Pariah Dark out, but there are limits on it. For example, if Clockwork tried to use that portal, it would probably collapse on itself because he is so powerful, this is why Clockwork creates his own portals; they only let him and who ever else he desires through them. But since there are good ghost with great power, there are also bad ghosts with great power; they were once allowed to roam the Earth, but the elders quickly decided it was too dangerous and took their ability to create portals so that they could not reach the human world. The only problem was that that power just couldn't be left in one place to store up energy to one day return to their previous owners; so they decided to make a super portal, one that could let any ghost get through it no matter their power level.

Knowing that if the news about this portal got out, the human world would never be safe so they built a ghost proof house over it, the very house they were going to destroy.

Wow! That was a LONG chapter! Well any way, thanks for sticking with me so far! And I am going to try my hardest to get the next chapter up really soon! And thank you to all who read this! It's been really encouraging!
