chapter 4 waking up
'cold... so cold... laying on cold... floor? why? ugh... sleep.. metal floor... pillow.. no pillow. just portal.'
with that Danny`s mind fully awakened. "portal... what happened." he tried to recall but nothing came.
"calm down Fenton just take it one step at a time." Danny took in the situation. "I was unconscious on the floor inside the portal so something knocked me out, and stole my clothes." as he looked down he saw that he was only wearing his boxers.
seeing nothing of interest inside the portal Danny decided to go outside. he slowly stood up feeling all his muscles complain. "ugh.. what the hell happened."
when Danny reached the opening of the portal he took in the lab. "oh.. my... god."
'red. so much red. everything is covered in red. I`m gonna be sick' pushing down his feelings to concentrate instead, Danny noticed two red lumps laying on the lab floor. "Sam! tucker!"
"oh god. oh god. oh god. please don`t be dead. please don`t be dead." starting with Sam he felt for a pulse. "please. please. please. yes!" he saw her breath and decided to move on to Tucker. "come on Tuck you to." he felt a pulse and saw his chest move so he went to the next priority. "why is everything covert in bloo... red. why is everything covert in red. everything but the portal." after a quick inspection Danny discovered that the red seemed to have exploded from the portal. the portal he was in just a few moment ago.
"prioritize Fenton. what is more important. Sam and Tuck are stable but covert in red. but luckily they are unconscious. the lab is covered in red but no one will see it. I`m standing in my boxer with red hands and feet, and the clothes I left in the lab are red."
Danny looked at the clock "it`s 9:58 and at ten Jazz will bring home six school girls. fuck! if I don`t move fast I`ll get caught red-handed... literally." after cleaning the sink in the lab. Danny started to wash the red from his body. "come on. hurry... done. crap! its ten and I don`t have any clothes." he hurried up the steps leading to the hallway hoping that he still had time.
"Danny?"
"ooh la la."
"busted."
"Jazz your brother can stay. we would be mad to sent a specimen of this quality away."
"Danny? what are you doing in your underwear?" Jazz asked with a calm voice but on the inside she was panicking.
and suddenly all the panic and stress were pushed from Danny`s mind because he entered familiar territory... lying. "darn it! I thought you wouldn`t be back for another ten minutes. well, there goes that plan."
"what plan?" one of the girls asked.
"ooh, nothing much. I was planning to dress up in a scary costume as introduction to the Fenton house of horror before you realize that there is no horror in this house." Danny mind was weaving lies at a fast pace. "I guess I screwed up."
"oh, don`t worry Fenton you gave us something to look at." the girl licked her lips. "I rather have this than some stupid five dollar Halloween costume. that wouldn't scare us anyway."
"yeah, I guess you`re ri... " a shock went through Danny`s body making him tense. he felt a cold sensation wash over his skin.
"holy crap!" "aaaahh!""no way!"
Danny didn`t know what was going on until he looked at his hands. "bones." he mumbled. he was looking at the bones in his hands but when he tried to touch them he felt flesh. then he realized that it was invisible, his flesh was invisible and people could see his skeleton. he focused on the cold sensation willing it to go away, and it did. as his skin became visible again he put on a smile. "wouldn`t scare you anyway, huh?"
"damn, I`ll admit that that was impressive. and you didn`t scare me, you just startled me. although one of us passed out and one screamed for her life. your sister is frozen in a horrified stance and I think I can smell urine."
Danny looked at his sister. "Jazz? you alright?"
it took a few seconds for the question to register. "huh? oh. yes, I`m alright just never do that again."
"will try Jazz. anyway, could Sam borrow some clothes from you. there was a accident in the lab and her clothes got stained by a liquid. also do you know where we left the Fenton shampoo, you know the one that removes everything that you were not born with."
"yeah, I know the one you mean. I`ll bring it down to the lab with the clothes." Jazz wanted to see what happened in the lab.
"great, speaking of clothes I should get some." with that Danny raced up the stairs to his room. instead of going to his closet to get clothes, he first went to his first aid kit. "tranquilizers. this should keep them unconscious for a while." then he went to his closet to get clothes and saw a old hazmat-suite hanging in there. "don`t want to make my clothes red again." so he also took the hazmat in addition to two pairs of clothing. he put on a pair and took the rest down to the lab.
"Danny, what would Sam want to wear." Jazz asked when Danny raced passed her.
"doesn`t matter as long as it fits." Danny went down the stairs of the lab. when he got down there he put on the old hazmat. and walked to Sam and Tucker`s bodies. "thank god, you are still unconscious. and with this tranquilizer I hope you stay that way for a while."
he gave both Sam and Tucker a tranquilizers. "this should give me two hours."
the plan that Danny came up with involved the Fenton emergency shower located in the lab. he would destroy all evidence of this accident ever happening and later tell them a believable lie.
he walked to the bathroom beside the lab and prepared the shower. Danny then took a mop and started to clean a path from the bathroom to the stairs of the lab. then he dragged Tucker to the bathroom. "you first buddy. believe me this is more awkward for me than it will ever be for you."
he striped Tucker of his red clothing and tried to forced him to let go of his Smartphone. "seriously, your unconscious and drugged, and you still can`t let go of your phone? fine, I`ll let it get ruined by the water." suddenly Tucker let go of his phone. "sometimes you scare me Tuck."
after a incredibly awkward washing session Danny heard a voice in the lab.
"oh my god! everything is covered in blood! it looks like a fucking horror movie in here! Danny where the hell are you!"
"I`m in the bathroom. washing Tucker."
Jazz walked into the bathroom. her skin was several shades lighter then it supposed to be. "I got Sam a blue sundress. think she`ll hate it?"
"yes, but it`s perfect for my cover story."
"you want to cover this up?"
"of course I want to cover this up Jazz. I`ll make it look like it was all in their heads so they`ll never have to look back and remember the day that they got covert in their friend`s blood."
"you think this is your blood?"
"it's the only explanation. the blood came from the portal. and I was the only blood holding thing in the portal."
"you were in the portal! and it turned on... and bones... blood...ghost... oh god, Danny are...are you?"
"I don`t know Jazz. I have to be, but I don`t feel like I`m dead. can you promise me that until we have answers that you`ll act like I`m alive. "
"yes Danny, for you I will. here`s the shampoo."
"great, anyway I`ve got this covert so you can entertain your guests."
"Do you need anything else?"
"yes, could you show your friends the roof in about forty minutes? I need to drag Sam and Tucker to my room."
"will do and good luck." with that Jazz left the lab.
"so Tuck, time for some shampoo." in about ten minutes Danny had Tucker cleaned and dressed in his clothes. "now it`s Sam`s turn." he laid Tucker against the bathroom wall and went to get Sam.
"Sam if you ever get to know what I`m about to do, please don`t kill me... further." he lifted Sam from the ground an brought her to the bathroom.
"calm down Fenton, you`ve seen your sister naked many times and she`s a lot more endowed than Sam will ever be. just tread her like she`s your sister." Danny willed his mind to calm down. it didn`t work.
"Sam, me treating you as a sister is not going to happen so I`m going to kill some emotions. that way I won`t think of anything perverted." killing emotions is something the Fenton siblings learned in their early years and it is also the cause of most of their mental problems. because it damages the mind they only use it in dire situations.
"let`s do this." he removed her top and her skirt. "damn, the blood went through your clothes. guess I can`t blame this on your period. hehe." then he removed the bloodied underwear and laid her under the showerhead. Danny washed all the red stains from her body and then started on her hair.
using the Fenton shampoo that could remove anything that wasn`t a part of your body he started to work. "oh, that`s right black isn`t your natural hair color. I almost forgot how sunny your hair was back then, it still is."
After he was done washing her he dressed her in the blue sundress Jazz got her. "hi Sammy, I haven`t seen you for a long time."
Danny laid her beside Tucker and left the Bathroom. he looked at the clock... he wiped off the clock and discovered that it was eleven. "Jazz should be on the roof."
he took off his hazmat and went back into the bathroom to get Sam and Tucker. he lifted Sam over his shoulder and carried Tucker under his arm. when he started to walk Tucker began to squirm. Danny figured what the problem was. "Smartphone. That is one scary subconscious obsession you`ve got Tuck." Danny said as he got the phone.
he carried them up the lab stairs and paused when he reached the top. "can`t hear them... good." Danny went to his room and put his friends down on his bed.
"now we play the waiting game."
