"Dad, I know I just got my license, but I don't think I'm ready to hunt a ghost all on my own," I protested, as we slipped through the stable portal in my mother's studio. How she'd managed to create one, I still can't figure out. Mom just jokingly says its been here for as long as I've been her son.

"Whelp," my father exasperatingly replies, " Don't worry about it. You're using your gift, so there is no possible way to detect your presence. I'll be invisible from above scouting ahead; you will be going into that drug store over there and purchase your mother's eyeliner."

"Crystal," I snapped, floating down to the nearest alley way. "So, can I scope out some pretty chicks while I'm mingling?"

"Sure, brat," he answered, laughing at my expression. "Just don't use that terminology around your mother."

"Yup, she's just itching to try out that new scented soap of hers," I quipped, dodging my father's metal fist.

"Phantom," Father said sharply, over the whine of his rockets activated. "Remember to watch out for the orange and blue ghosts like I told you."

"Yes, sir," I replied, watching him slowly ascend. I ran and floated up to give him one last hug. "I love you, Dad."

He, hesitantly, hugged me back. Dad is strange like that. He's not much of a people person. "I love you too, Daniel," he said, a fiery tear in his glass eye.


Maddie watched her son peacefully sleep in the observation cube, curled up in a fetal position. "Oh, Danny, sweetie," she whispered, "I'm so sorry you have to go through all this mess."

A far-away look entered her eyes as she flipped mentally in time to three weeks ago, when her son first vanished. She'd been interrogating Jasmine and her son's two best friends for the last two hours.


Pinching the bridge of her nose, she'd sighed. "Okay, again from the top. What happened?"

Jasmine cast a scared secretive look at Sam and Tucker, who shot panicked looks back at her. "Well, there was this, uh, loud boom and the robotic ghost came through the remains of the science lab wall."

"He spotted at Danny and just grinned like a maniac and blasted him with this blue-black ray. Danny didn't stand a chance," Tucker jumped in, shooting a warning look to his best bud's sister. She nodded with a thankful smile. "We don't know what happened. He just collapsed, Skulker grabbed him, and vanished through a makeshift portal."

"And the part about him turning in Phantom, when the plasma blast hit him?" Maddie asked. "I saw the footage from the school vid feed."

"Donkey barbecue time," Sam muttered to his left.

"Exactly," Maddie said firmly, folding her arms. Sternly glaring at the kids, she looked first at her daughter, then the other two teens. "Who wants to go first?"
