A few days later...
12:20pm - Park
"There is nowhere better in Amity Park to enjoy a Nasty Burger than the park with some friends" Danny said with excitement
"Its such a beautiful..." Tucker stopped and noticed Danny and Sam weren't listening. They were too busy staring at each other, nervous trying to make up words of love. Danny suddenly realised that he just ignored Tucker, so quickly turned around.
"Did you say something?" Danny asked Tucker
Tucker had his head down, looking at the dark blades of grass, reflecting the distant sunlight. "Never mind" He finally said, with a saddened voice.
"Tucker I'm sorry for ignoring you, you're my friend, and you should be able to tell me what's up"
Tucker turned away slightly.
"I know, I've been a jerk recently, I promise ill pay more attention to you" Danny apologised
"It's not that, I just feel a bit left out. We used to be a trio and all, but now..." Tucker lifts his head up "Its okay, I'm being too needy. Lets eat before the burger gets cold"
"You can come over to my place tonight, play some video games as friends" Sam suggested
Tucker smiled "I'll take you up on that offer"
They all went to Sam's place, and had great fun, like it used to be, no ghosts around, and Tucker felt complete again.
6:30 - Outside Sam's house
"We'll have to do this again sometime" Sam waved them off as they returned to their homes
"Wait up, Tuck"
"What's up Danny?"
"I'll walk you home. It's the least I can do for leaving you out earlier"
They went home together, and Danny flew back to his own home as Danny Phantom. Halfway there, the moon mysteriously appeared, and that horrid aura was back. Fate was gonna strike again most likely. He went home, and stayed up all night. It could be his mom or dad that try to dispose of him this time. He couldn't sense Fate, he hides in the corner of existence.
8pm - Fenton Works
Tucker was waiting outside of Danny's house. He looked normal but even if he wasn't, it is his duty to restore Tucker back to normal.
"I'm sorry, can I stay the night? Tucker asked
"Sure...but why?"
"Well, my family has important guests over, so they took up a lot of space, and I was uncomfortable staying there"
Danny knew Tucker was lying. But he had to keep an eye on him. At 1am, Danny crashed, but Tucker was wide awake.
2am - Ghost Zone.
Tucker spent an hour in the lab, trying to find equipment best for catching sleeping ghosts. He found the Fenton Handcuffs and after wandering a while in the ghost zone, he picked up Vortex from the Jail. Vortex was hauled back, struggling but the handcuffs were Super Effective. Another two hours, he found Ember (it was hard for him to understand his own map) and released both of them at the same time. He was hoping they both attacked at the same time, so he could receive ghost powers like Danny did the second time. Meanwhile, Danny woke up and realised that Tucker was gone. He went to the lab looking for him and to his suprise, he saw a dark figure, with dark blue flames coming off the hat and a dark blue mist under his feet. It was Tucker, heavily damaged, but in ghost form.
"Tucker are you ok?!" Danny shouted
"I just got an upgrade"
Realising this may be Fate's doing, he trying going ghost, but Tucker tbrew a ring of mist at him, completely stopping him.
"Calm down" Tucker shouted "I did this to help you to beat Fate"
Tucker suddenly fainted. Then Danny realised; if Tucker isnt possessed, who is?
SAM
Danny rushed to Sam's house, leaving Tucker to rest on his bed
"I guess I'm doing this alone...again" Danny said to himself, since Tucker fainted.
