"Danny? Danny?! Talk to me!" Tucker was shaking his PDA and yelling at it, hoping to get something that would tell them their friend was okay but there was only static.
"It's no use. He can't hear us." Kimmy said, obvious panic in her voice.
"Then we'll just have to go in after him."
"What are you, nuts?" Sam exclaimed.
"Danny? Are you down there?" Jazz's faint voice reached them from upstairs and the three of them blinked, swiftly adjusting themselves so that they were hidden in the seat of the Spector Seeker, hoping that if they were quiet enough then Jazz would simply go away. But they had no such luck. She continued to call down to the lab, yelling all their names in the hopes of a response. Sam was quick to change her mind about going into the Ghost Zone when she realized that Jazz was coming down the stairs and they were running out of time. She turned Kimmy and herself around and buckled them in before instructing Tucker to drive.
"What?!" Kimmy exclaimed quietly, but it was too late. Tucker punched it and they were zooming off into the portal before she could argue.
"Face it, Tucker, we're lost."
Sam, Tucker, and Kimmy were trying everything they could think of to find Danny but Sam and Tucker had been arguing for the past twenty minutes on whether they were lost and Kimmy had just about had enough. She was still trying to stay on her best behavior around Sam and so she remained quiet. Even if she did say something, she didn't have any more of a clue as to where they were than they did so really it was pointless. Something had screwed up the systems during takeoff so that they were unable to use the scanner until Tucker recalibrated it, but Sam was becoming impatient.
"You put way too much faith in technology. Let's just get out and ask that girl for directions."
Kimmy looked up to see who Sam was talking about. The girl seemed nice enough and Tucker reluctantly stopped the vehicle so that Sam could stand to knock on the windshield to grab the ghost's attention, "Hello there."
At first Kimmy thought they might have had some luck. The ghost stopped and Kimmy was able to get a good look at her. She was dressed in medieval clothing, with long blonde hair braided down her back and a solemn look on her face. She was absolutely beautiful. But just as soon as Sam grabbed her attention she began to glow, her form changing and growing until they were face to face with a large blue dragon. An angry large, blue dragon.
"I want to go to the ball!" the dragon's voice rumbled deep and made the Spector Seeker shake a little. Kimmy screamed and Sam fell back into her seat and the girls held on to each other in fear, yelling at Tucker to drive. He hit the gas but the dragon followed after them, staying right on their tail no matter what they did.
"Can't this tub go any faster?" Sam exclaimed.
"I'm trying!" Tucker said, "We're also looking for Danny, too, you know."
The dragon shoved its shoulder up under them and tipped them over on their side until it let them back down. All three of them were wracking their brains, trying to come up with a plan to get them out of this mess, when the scanner suddenly came back to life, "REAL-WORLD ITEM DETECTED."
Tucker smirked and immediately charted a course that followed the scanners coordinates. They disappeared into some thick clouds, hindering their vision completely. They might not have been able to see, but neither could the dragon, and they took that as a blessing. Kimmy pressed her face to the glass window to look for any sign that the ghost dragon was still following them but it was no use, she couldn't see anything. Though in her mind, no news was good news. She relaxed a moment, allowing her heart rate to slow back down to normal. Sam was helping Tucker with his PDA and neither of them were watching where they were going, leaving Kimmy to keep watch. For a while she could see nothing. Just large shades of green ecto-clouds. When a large shadow appeared just ahead of them, she sat forward in her seat to try and get a closer look. The clouds started to dissipate and she realized the shadow was a large steel building and they were heading straight for it. She tried to get Sam's attention by tapping her shoulder but she was ignoring her, shoving her away. A line of green spikes attached to blue scales slithered right by Kimmy's window and she peered outside to see that the dragon had caught up to them. Kimmy didn't know what to do. She repeatedly tried to warn them and when they were just about to crash into the wall she just screamed in terror, finally getting Sam and Tucker's attention but it was too late. They screamed at what was surely the end for them when they simply phased through the wall safely, leaving the dragon to crash and effectively get her off their trail.
"File that one under 'would have been nice to know we could do that trick in the first place.'" Tucker said, his whole body shaking.
"Kimmy, was that you?" Sam questioned, trying to wrap her head around what just happened.
"Me? Should I be able to do that?" Kimmy was in shock. This was way more adventure than she ever hoped for.
Tucker continued to simply drive through all the walls of the building, following the scanner and hoping that Danny was somewhere nearby. They were just starting to get desperate when Kimmy suddenly yelled at him to stop. He hit the brakes right next to Danny who was being pinned down by a large man with a skeletal face, dressed similarly to a 1920's gangster. His glowing green eyes shooting daggers at the three newcomers in anger.
"Tucker! Sam! Kimmy! How'd you get in here?" Danny said, grunting in pain when his captor pushed his foot down harder into his chest.
"Check it out! Real-world stuff just phases through everything in here." Tucker explained.
"In the Ghost Zone, we're the ghosts." Sam smiled.
"We're the ghosts?" Danny pondered, "So, maybe it's time to stop fighting like a ghost, and start fighting like a kid."
Danny morphed back into his human form with a victorious smirk and the ghost's foot simply phased right through him, just like Sam, Tucker, and Kimmy said it would. He stood with a newfound determination and walked right through the warden, grabbing the present and starting back towards the Spector Seeker.
"Why can't I touch you?!" the warden complained, reaching out for Danny in the hopes to recapture his prisoner. But no matter what he did, his hands simply went right through him, much to Danny's happiness.
"Forget it, Walker. This is the Ghost Zone. I'm not just a ghost, I'm human. Your rules don't apply." Danny grabbed on to the back of the Spector Seeker and tucker flew them out of there. They stopped to let Danny in and quickly sped off towards the Fenton's ghost portal. Once they were there, Danny hugged his friends tight and thanked them profusely before taking off up the stairs to find his sister so they could go rescue their parent's marriage.
"Wow, glad that's over." Tucker muttered. Sam smiled in agreement and was about to follow Tucker up the stairs but something made her stop. She turned back to see Kimmy quietly climbing out of the machine and Sam couldn't help but smile. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all.
"Hey." Kimmy looked up at Sam's greeting and blinked in surprise, unsure how to respond. But to her surprise, Sam started rubbing the back on her neck and looking away guiltily, "Listen, um, I'm sorry about all that stuff I said about you and your uncle. You tried to warn us in there and we…I just blew you off. I'm sorry."
It took a moment for Kimmy to process Sam's words but she felt a sudden joy in her heart and a big smile spread across her face, "It's, um, it's okay. I realize that you and Danny are very close and I never meant to impose."
"It's hard to be the new girl, and Danny was just trying to help like he always does." Sam smiled and held out her hand, "Friends?"
"Friends." Kimmy didn't hesitate to shake her hand and the two joined Tucker up in the Fenton's living room. Danny and Jazz were already gone and they three of them walked out into the streets of Amity Park, Kimmy's new home. And now that she actually had some friends, it really felt like home.
