Sorry if this disappoints anyone.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned Danny Phantom! (Murmurs to self) Darn it! Where's Desiree when you need her?
"Oh, no! Valerie!" Danny gasped upon hearing the all-too-familiar ghost.
"Alright! I'm coming in!" She shouted angrily.
The door burst open and the huntress warily scanned the area. There weren't any ghosts visible. She checked her tracker again. There was a red dot on this house.
"Fine, you want to play hide and seek? Bring it!" She challenged.
"Danny, it's Valerie. Why are we hiding?" Dani whispered.
"Because she'll still blast me." Danny hissed.
A blast suddenly whizzed by their heads. "Show yourself, ghost!" She demanded.
"Come on. We have to go." Danny warned quietly. Not quietly enough.
"Gotcha!" The Red Huntress confirmed, sending another shot in their direction. It hit Danny. Hard.
The ghost boy lost his invisibility and was thrust back into the wall. It took less than a second for Valerie to spot him.
"Phantom!" She observed and came up to him with her gun.
"Valerie, don't shoot!" Three other voices chorused. Sam, Tucker, and Dani came running in front of their fallen friend.
"Sam? Tucker? Danielle?" She wondered, lifting her gun. "What are you doing here?"
"Well…um…we…" Tucker stuttered.
Sam was helping to pull Danny up. She wrapped one of his arms around her shoulders for support. "We asked Danny if he wanted to 'haunt' this place. You know, get a few good laughs."
"Wait, how do you two even know him?" Valerie interrogated. "How do you know who I am? Where's Danny? And why is Danielle here?"
"We met him when he first came out of the Ghost Portal. Said he wanted to help fight off all of the troublemaking ghosts." Tucker replied. Technically, it was the truth. It just wasn't in the way that everyone would take it. "We figured out it was you on our own. And Danny's…at home because his parents wanted to make sure that he was 'safe.'"
"And I came here to scare the heck out of Danny." Dani finished with a smile.
"Yeah, and she succeeded." Danny added tiredly, shooting Danielle a playful smirk.
Valerie rolled her eyes. She thought that she had heard Phantom call Dani 'cuz,' but she could have been mistaken because they were acting exactly like siblings. It was almost…cute.
"Just, please don't shoot, Valerie." Sam pleaded.
"On one condition." She stated. "Did you get any pictures?"
Everyone broke out into smiles. True, Valerie didn't particularly like Danny Phantom, but it was Halloween. Maybe she could let Phantom have a little fun, just for tonight. Besides, she didn't want Dani to see her blasting-what Valerie thought was-her older brother.
"Oh, you bet." Sam confirmed, holding up the camera. "Don't worry, I'm making copies."
"Why can't we just watch it now?" Valerie wondered.
"Because I can hear more people coming." Sam replied quickly, motioning for Valerie to hide.
Everyone resumed their "scaring" positions. There were voices coming from outside.
"This is Lance Thunder here. I'm standing in front of this old abandoned house, rumored to be haunted. Numerous citizens have been spotted running away from this house, screaming about it being haunted by ghosts. I am here to either confirm or deny these rumors." The reporter introduced.
The three visible teens smiled at each other. The Phantoms had better do a good job.
The door swung open, a built man with fluffy blond hair came in with a man holding a camera behind him. They both looked a little unsure about this. Lance Thunder had to remember to officially quit after this.
"If this place is truly haunted, we will know in just a few moments." He reported, trying to sound brave, but his nervousness and fear peaked though.
Danny and Dani took this as their cue to start scaring. This time, they were getting right to the fun stuff. Danny went over to the reporter and grasped the man's shoulders, causing him to float upward.
"Ahhhh!" He screamed as loud as he could, flailing around against the force.
The camera man started up in shock and fear. His partner was floating! Slowly, he backed up against the door, attempting to get away from the mysterious spirit, only to have it slam behind him.
"Foolish humans!" Dani boomed. "How dare you trespass on our grounds?!"
Danny was amazed at how well she was doing. It was almost like she had done it before…He'd have to ask her about that later. For now, he'd have to concentrate on more pranks. He quickly pressed his 'captive' against the wall and phased half of the man's body through the wall, trapping him. The terrified reporter screamed as loudly as he could. With his hands free, both him and his 'cousin' grabbed sheets off of the old furniture and hid under them. It now appeared that the sheets were floating.
"OoOoOo…" They moaned together, swooping around the room.
"Someone, help!" Lancer Thunder pleaded. "Danny Phantom! The Fentons! Anyone!"
Danny held back snickers at hearing his name being called. The two were readying themselves for their next attack when the door bursted open.
"Alright, Spectral Freak, prepare to be fried!" Jack Fenton shouted, his ghost bazooka at the ready.
He and his wife began shooting at the sheeted figures, the ghosts barely dodging the attacks.
Now all of them knew that this was the end of their fun. Maybe they could persuade Valerie, but the Fentons took no mercy.
"That's our cue to go." Danny stated, pulling Danielle from under the sheet. Both of them invisibly grabbed their friends and left as fast as half-humanly possible.
A few moments later, Danny phased back through the wall near Lance Thunder and made him intangible, letting him fall out of the wall and onto the dusty wooden floor. Smiling, Danny returned to his friends.
"You do know that this is going to be on the news now, right?" Sam commented to her ghostly friend.
"Darn it! I should have blasted the camera." Danny cursed.
"Well, as long as no one knows it was you, then you're fine." Tucker assured.
"And no one even knows me, so I'll be okay." Dani added.
Danny began laughing. "Yeah, but if they ever saw you, the press would have a field day."
"I can see it now: Does Danny Phantom have a sister?"Dani added, spreading her hands apart in a showy gesture as she announced the title.
"Well, I better get going now." Valerie declared. "My Dad's probably going to kill me for being out this late." Before she jetted off, she leaned in close to Danny's ear and whispered: "I just didn't want to waste you in front of your little sister. Next time I see you, you'd better watch out."
Danny rolled his eyes but gave a slight smile at her persistence.
"I'd better go, too." Dani announced, beginning to fly off.
Danny quickly grabbed her arm. "Oh, no you don't. How about you stay at my house tonight? You know, just to make sure that you're safe from Vlad."
"Really?!" She squealed excitedly.
"Yeah, I'm sure my parents would be fine with it. Plus, if by some wild chance, someone saw you, you can share the blame with me." Danny joked.
"Geez, thanks." Dani replied sarcastically.
"Danny, I hate to burst your bubble, but your parents are coming." Sam warned.
"Oh, right." Danny remembered. "Need a ride home?"
"Nah, we'll walk." Tucker responded. Then, after they were out of hearing range, he said to Sam; "Not like we don't end up getting dissed every time she shows up anyway."
Sam nodded in agreement.
And this is basically the end of the action, but there's still one chapter left, so hang on.
