Chapter 4: How Was Your Day?
"How was your day, Valerie?" Valerie's Dad asks.
"Wonderful, Dad." Valerie replies. "We had a target shooting at Ghost 101 and I was the only one to hit all the right targets and not to hit the wrong ones."
"Congratulations." Her father replies with no real enthusiasm since he's afraid this class is encouraging her to resume her ghost hunting. Honestly, the only reason he won't forbid her from taking this class is the fact Mayor Masters made it mandatory to attend it.
"Valerie, I've also noticed something seems to trouble you." Mr. Gray says. "Would you share?"
"Dad, some of the people that hit the Vlad target said they did it on purpose." Valerie says.
"Who would do it?" He asks, surprised.
"Danny, Tucker, Sam and Jazz." Valerie explains.
"Isn't Danny the boy Vlad hit with his ecto gun when he tried to defeat that vampire-like ghost at the McMasters?" Mr. Gray asks.
"That was an accident, Dad." Valerie explains.
"Accident or not, Valerie, the people closer to Danny might find it harder to let it go." Mr. Gray explains.
Meanwhile, at the Foley household, Tucker arrives. "How was your day, son?" Mrs. Foley asks.
"Nada much." Tucker answers.
"This is not what Mr. Fenton said." She replies with a tone of worry. "He said that during your target shooting you've shown intent to shoot Mayor Masters. While I can understand Mr. Fenton's son doing it since he's the one the Mayor had accidentally shot during the McMasters fiasco, you should have known better."
"Mom, I'm afraid of Mayor Masters." Tucker moans.
"You shouldn't be."
Meanwhile, Sam arrives at Manson Manor. (I wanted to avoid the pun so I called it 'Manson Manor') "How was your day, Sammykins?" Mrs. Manson asks.
"It's Sam." Sam angrily replies. "And I had classes as usual. What do you want to know?"
"Mr. Fenton told me about your target shooting and how you hit the Mayor Vlad target and claimed to have done so on purpose." Mrs. Manson angrily replies. "What do you have to say about this, young lady?"
"He had it coming for hitting Danny at the McMasters fiasco." Sam replies, knowing that going along with this excuse is the best way to protect Danny's secret.
"That boy had it coming for leading that protest." Sam's mother says. "It's because of hooligans like him Mr. Masters didn't want teenagers at his restaurant." She adds, not knowing how right she is. "I already knew he's a bad influence on you but that Fenton kid took it to a new level."
Meanwhile, at Fentonworks, Jack is trying to convince Danny and Jazz that Vlad isn't a menace. "V-man was just trying to catch a ghost. These accidents happen. I myself cause lots of them. Do you think people hold it against me?"
"Yes." Both Danny and Jazz answer.
"Kids, I can understand you hating Vladdie back then." Jack concedes. "Even I hated him if that's even possible. But now that time passed us all we should understand it was an accident."
Maddie then appears. "Jack, I think you should review our teaching plan while I talk to the kids."
"Okay, Mads." Jack replies and starts to leave. "And maybe I start working on the Fenton Finder that Dash boy suggested."
"Kids, I won't ask you to stop hating Vlad Masters and I won't say there's anything wrong about hurting pictures of him but please lie to your father about it so we won't have to put up with this any longer."
"Okay, Mom." The kids say. Danny is suddenly hit by the boomerang. "Maddie!" They hear Jack yelling from downstairs. "I can't find the boomerang. Have you seen it?"
Please review.
