Hey, everyone, I'm back :D. I'm sorry about taking, like, FOREVER to update, my computer broke, for maybe about a month, or more, I dunno, so, I'm gonna update Kidnapped soon as well, again, I'm really sorry about this.

A Rock And A Hard Place

'the nurses office, pegged : Tuckers nightmare, much to mine and Sam's amusement.'

Danny glanced at his white-faced friend, the boy was shaking so badly, the halfa was surprised the school, wasn't shaking with him.

"Hello, children. I'm nurse Jefferies, how may I help you?" An old lady had come into the room, wearing casual nurses clothes, the smock, the hat... okay, maybe not casual, but surely they were... at some point...

"Eep!" Tucker whimpered, he jumped slightly at the sight of the women, pushing himself behind Danny.

"Tuck, really? Everyday you help me fight ghosts, and you're afraid of a harmless old lady in a nurse costume from the 1800's?" Danny whispered over his shoulder.

"Yes." Tucker answered plainly in a quiet voice.

"Well, Mrs. Jefferies, we were sent here by Mr. Lancer after a bit of an... accident..." Sam started, trailing off.

"What sort of accident, dearie?"

"Well, it involved a wall... sort of, caving in..." She trailed off again, noticing the nurses horrified expression.

"Oh, my... well, let's check you three out then..." The nurse slowly walked over, shock still clear on her face, As she went over to Sam, Danny shifted uncomfortably, his shoulder hurt like heck! No doubt the nurse would call the hospital...

Danny's face turned white. The hospital! Oh, no, he couldn't be there! They'd probably find out his secret! Then they'd tell his parents...

'crap...'

The lady was now trying to check out Tucker, but the boy kept crawling away from her, Sam was now across the room in one of the guest chairs, laughing at the techno-geeks 'manliness.'

'She has a pretty laugh...'

Danny thought, staring at the girl before shaking his head.

'what in the world-'

His thoughts were interrupted by the nurse walking over to him, she had given up on Tucker.

"Alright now, dearie, is there anything wrong? Did you get hurt at all?"

"No, ma'am, I'm perfectly fine, really, I am. Oh, wait look at the time we've been her that long, we have detention, you know, we have to get going, ha, ha... Bye!"

During the exchange Danny had grabbed both Sam and Tucker, shoving them out the door, all the while staring at the nurses confused face.

"That was close." Danny said, letting out a breath of relief.

"Yeah-wait! What was close? I mean, I'm glad you got me-us, out of there, but what's goin' on?" Tucker asked, flinching under Sam's glare.

"Well, you know how I dislocated my shoulder?" Sam and Tucker nodded. "Well, if the nurse had found out, she would've sent me to the hospital. The doctors probably would find out my secret, and, well, you know the rest."

Danny explained, watching his friends faces go from confused to understanding, of course, Tucker took a little longer, but, hey, who's paying attention to that?

The trio walked toward the detention room slowly, savoring their last moments of freedom. As soon as they opened the door, horrified looks came over their faces.

Dash, Paulina, Star, Kwan... oh, man, they were all there, smirking evilly at the three as they stepped into the room. There were a few other students too, Valerie, Mikey and another nerdy boy whos name they just couldn't remember... Arnold, maybe, no... NK2 (Nerdy Kid 2) that's what they would call him, there were a few others too, anyway.

Mr. Lancer sat at the front of the room, he looked surprised to see Danny, with the whole dislocated shoulder thing, he'd expected the boy to be on his way to the hospital.

"Mr. Foley, Ms. Manson, and... Mr. Fenton, please take a seat."

Danny could feel the over-weight teachers eyes on his back as he walked to the back of the room and sat down.

"By the way, guys, I forgot to ask, how did you get detention?" Danny asked, turning toward Sam.

"Tucker blew up the lab, again-"

"Hey, I resent that-"

"Well you did-"

"Guys! Guys, okay. Sam, if Tuck blew up the lab, how did you get detention?" Danny smiled at the look of disbelief on the techno geeks face, the goth rolled her eyes.

"I was his partner, so of course they blamed some of it on me." She stated matter-of-factley.

"How did-" Danny was cut off by someone tapping his shoulder.

"Read it and pass it on." The guy whispered, passing him a note, then instantly sitting back in his seat.

'when I say go, everyone run out of the classroom, we're going to that new room.-Dash.'

Danny finished reading, then handed it to his friends, Tucker passed it too the boy in front of him, telling him to read it then pass it, then sitting back in his chair.

'1, 2, 3, 4...'

The halfa counted the seconds in his head. Just as he counted 14, Dash stood up, screaming 'GO!'

Danny stood up with everyone else in the room, grabbing Sam and Tucker then rushing toward the door and out into the hallway. The trio followed the deluge of students toward the room they had unearthed not long before.

As soon as they reached the hole in the wall, everyone stopped, staring into the dark, dusty room.

"Let's go!"

Dash shouted, walking into the room, the detention students followed, one by one, all 14 of them.

"Whoa..."

Sounds of wonder and surprise echoed through the room, the place was huge, the three friends hadn't noticed it before, but the space was incredible.

A huge blackboard was placed in the center of the wall on the far side of the room, desks were stacked in the corner.

'How did that happen?'

Danny thought, the last time he, Sam, and Tucker had been in the room, they had been violently thrown around by some sort of earthquake, at least that's what he thought it was.

'But then again, the shaking didn't bother the rest of the school... what the heck was it then?'

While he was pondering, he didn't notice the overweight teacher that was Mr. Lancer run into the used-to-be-abandoned space.

"All of you, Get back to the detention room, immediately!"

Did he really think they were going to leave just like that? He really needed to learn more about teenagers, honestly.

"Sorry, Mr. L, no can do."Dash said obnoxiously, not sparing a second glance at the red-faced teacher.

"YOU-!"

"Excuse me, , what's going on here?"

Danny paled at the voice that interrupted his teacher. He turned around, hoping it wasn't who he thought it was... oh, no, his parents were here!

He dove to the ground, squirming behind the piles of desks.

'Ew, it's so dusty and cobwebby... that's not even a word!'

The halfa grimaced, but stopped as he examined his hiding spot.

'It's still dusty, the webs are still attached to the wall, they're not ripped at all, well, they weren't anyway, but what in the-'

"Gah!" Danny shouted as he was pulled from his hiding place by huge hands

'Dad, oh, no...I'm a goner.'

"Found him, Mads. He was hiding behind the chairs." He heard his dad say, then the clicking of heels and sniggering of his classmates, oh, the humiliation.

"Daniel James Fenton! First we hear you beat up a student, then this! I-"

"Excuse me, Mrs. Fenton, may I talk to you for a minute, it's about Daniel... again." He added rather blandly, with a blank look on his face, Maddie gave Danny one last glare before walking into the hall with Mr. Lancer.

'Oh, no, he's gonna tell her about-'

"My poor baby!" Maddie ran into the classroom and over to Danny, inspecting him from every angle after making Jack put him down.

'More humiliation.'

Danny, glanced around the room, everyone but Sam and Tucker were laughing as quietly as they could.

'This day couldn't get any worse.'

Suddenly the room started shaking again, everyone was thrown of their feet and into the far wall.

'Great, I jinxed my-'

The room started shaking harder, rattling Danny's insides and making him see stars (literal stars, not Star's.)

A green mist made it's way into the room, coming from nowhere it seemed. The mist started swirling, making a sort of green vortex on the floor.

'G-g-ghost-t-t... P-p-port-t-tal-l!'

Danny gasped, 1. actual Ghost Portal! 2. even his thoughts were mixed up, darn... 3. Ghost Portals never formed like this, they usually just appeared and disappeared as they pleased, like some sort of living thing, they were wherever they wanted, whenever they wanted, they were just feral.

An evil laugh echoed through the room, reaching everyone's ears, making most of them cower in fear, specifically, the a-list, and Mr. Lancer, and who can forget the nerds.

'Plasmius'

Danny grit his teeth, or tried too, with all the shaking in the room, it was sort of hard to do anything, except shake, of course.

Plasmius appeared in the room, right next to the forming portal, floating in the air so he wouldn't be affected by the 'earthquake.'

"Hello, everyone. Daniel," Vlad stared hardly at Danny as he said the boys name, every head turned to Danny, sort of, again, the room was shaking.

'O-oh, g-great-t-t, wh-what d-does-s-s he w-want-t? O-oh, r-right-t-t, me-e, and Mom-m, Dad-d-d d-dead-d-d, a-and Jazz-z-z- huh-uh, I have-ve no-o id-dea what-t-t he-e wan-t-ts t-to d-do with-th Jazz-z...'

Danny's thoughts were interrupted by Vlad addressing his mother.

"Why, Maddie, how are you?" All he got was a glare and something completely unintelligible. Vlad started to come towards her.

"Oh, Maddie, don't be-"

"Y-you St-tay-y aw-way from her!" Danny shouted, everyone turned to him best they could, shocked.

"Now, now Daniel, calm down, I wasn't going to do anything." Vlad turned to Danny, picking him up by his shirt collar, a collective, shaky gasp went around the room as Danny glared straight into the eyes of the man.

"In fact, I think you know what I really came to do." Vlad smirked, throwing Danny against the wall, then straight into the portal.

."DANNY!" Maddie, Sam, and Tucker screamed bloody murder, watching helplessly as the boy was thrown into the green, swirling vortex.

"Oh, don't worry about Daniel, you'll all be joining him soon." Vlad laughed maniacally gesturing forward with his hand, the portal seemed to inch slowly near the group, and the shaking of the room prevented everyone from trying to get away, they were trapped.

"Have a great time in the Ghost Zone." Vlad disappeared in a pink cloud, pulling his cape across, like Dracula did before turning into a bat.

"AHHH!" Screams echoed through the room as the vortex came closer and closer. Finally it reached its mark, pulling in the people in front, specifically the grown ups , then the students, until finally no-one was left in the room except for the portal, which slowly melted into the ground as it finished its job.

Hey, everyone :D! Sorry if my styles a little stiff, I'll try to loosen it up, just haven't typed this up in a while. I'm having a little trouble with Kidnapped, but I'll update it soon, so don't worry, I'm going to try to update this again as soon a possible,ASAP, cya :D!
