Hey guys! So I know things have been kinda slow and after this chapter I promise things are gonna pick up a lot more. Maybe not in the way you're thinking but still. Anyway, this chapter is the shortest of all the chapters so far but it's still chock-full of information. I would like to thank all of my reviewer of chapter 3! Thank you so much!

Far Frozen: Central Building
Saturday Afternoon
The team did in fact head to the large kitchen in the Central Building where the workers were excited to see them again. They gave Danny and Jazz each half of a cooked fish and gave Tucker a whole cooked fish knowing how he ate incredible amounts of meat. They were able to make Sam a bowl of cooked rice and placed the cooked vegetables they had already made over the rice. The rice was actually from the food section in the pantry that the trio had stocked for themselves – mainly for Sam – because much of the food in the Far Frozen did not follow the vegetarian diet.
After eating their food they had gone to join Crystalrose's weapon and techniques class in the Tactical building. They still had their coats on and were able to make the trek outside easily on the snow packed paths to the other building. Crystalrose had been extremely excited to see them all. She showed them her bracelet that Hailstorm had made for her and given to her for her acceptance to his proposal. Sam thought it had been beautiful as it was an ice band with multiple roses engraved delicately into the ice.
After the happy hello's had passed the trio joined the other younger yeti's – who were just as excited to meet the team as they were – and Jazz left to join her friend Winter in the library which was in a separate building. Besides Sam, Winter was now one of her best girlfriends. They had met on Jazz's second time to the Far Frozen when she had questioned Frostbite on their readings and where they kept them. They had all gone to the library and Winter, who was similar to a librarian loved how interested Jazz was in what they had to offer in the three story building. They were friends ever since.
Later that night they all ate dinner with the members of the Far Frozen. The entire tribe was excited for Team Phantom to join them and spent most of the night speaking with members of the tribe. They told stories of their fights with Undergrowth and what it was like in the human realm at the moment. Each yeti was fascinated by their stories and wanted to know more but they told them that they'd be back soon and would finish their stories then.
They left to go back to the human realm with a promise from Frostbite and Hailstorm to look into Danny becoming the Ghost King. They assured them that if anything of great importance was found they would contact the Team as soon as possible. When they arrived back in the lab, thankfully with only an interruption from Klemper, Tucker texted his mom to tell her that he was staying at Danny's while Sam called her grandma Ida to let her know as well. They were pretty tired from their crazy day and headed off to bed.
Danny was woken up in the middle of the night by his ghost sense and left without telling Tucker and Sam, wanting them to get as much sleep as possible. When the others woke that morning and he still wasn't back they all went out to help him finish up the final ghosts fights before coming back to the house and making breakfast even though it was lunch time.
They spent the rest of the day logging what information they had into Danny's computer while Sam wrote in the Team's journal about what happened with the GIW and in the Far Frozen. After so many fights with Technus they figured it was the best idea to have more than two backups for their information on the computer.
The only places they had been logging their information was in Danny's computer and Tucker's PDA – which saved to his computer. But when Technus took over the computers when he was downloaded into the system they decided that they would back up to Sam's computer, on multiple flash drives - and back up flash drives. Tucker had been able to make a few flash drives that were able to hold up to 400 GB of information. He had been able to take data designs from one of the highest USB flash drives that he was able to get a hold of and make his own.
They had already filled 2 of the 5 flash drives he made and then they broke each one up into more and more flash drives that way the information was saved on multiple fronts and were labeled and organized easily for quick findings. It had actually been Sam's idea to create the journals because if something did happen – because Technus was unpredictable on the technology front – then it would be best to have everything written down.
The journals stayed at her house under her bed in boxes and were organized by date. She didn't carry their newest one with her because she didn't want it to get stolen or destroyed or read by anyone else. It currently stayed in Jazz's room because they knew if it was in Danny's room Maddie would have probably snooped and read it. And they really didn't need Maddie or Jack asking questions.
After they had everything saved Tucker and Sam departed for their respective houses and Jazz and Danny made dinner for four. They weren't sure when their parents would be back but Jazz suggested that they make extra and leave the burger patties in the fridge so they wouldn't have to make anything.
Danny went on patrol that night letting Jazz tag along since he only had one week left with her. At the end of the week on Saturday, August 30th they were going to be moving her down to Washington University in St. Louis. He was going to miss her a lot but he had pushed those feelings to the back of his heart not wanting to deal with them till they were staring at him in the face. It would make the passing week much easier.
There were only a few ghosts out that night and Danny was able to get the last of his homework done before they each headed off to bed.

Casper High
10:15 a.m.
The next day went well until they entered their U.S. history class. The teacher had the projector on showing the live footage from where Vlad was campaigning to continue on as Mayor of Amity Park.
He was standing in front of a children's home downtown with the orphaned children seated behind him. Crowds cheered below him as he stood behind a podium with multiple microphones set up for him to speak into.
"I will be continuing my trials of making sure that these children will be able to have a better learning experience. This extension of educational services does not only pertain to these children behind me but to every single one of your sons or daughters. It is time to take our place back on top in the education system. As I stated before, my reform project will focus on using funding on getting the most up to date books children need as well as sending teachers who need it back to school so that our future will be the best it can be." The cheering was so loud that Vlad had to take a minute to wait for it to calm down. "I want to thank Headmistress Kraelin and the children that reside in George P. Bishop Home for Children for being wonderful hosts and if you could all say it with me, 'Our Future is ours to Control'."
"Our Future is ours to Control!" The children and people in the crowd shouted.
"Thank you all." Vlad waved and walked off the stage.
Danny, Sam and Tucker had sat themselves down in their seats as they had watched Vlad finish his speech and were now looking at the screen in annoyance.
"Great, now it seems like people actually like him." Danny groaned looking over at his best friends.
"I know, I wish mayor Montez would run again." Tucker said. "Even though if he did Vlad would just overshadow everyone again to make sure he got the votes."
"Yeah, because the other two candidates don't stand a chance. Or at least that's what my parents said." Sam told them pulling out her materials for class, "Apparently over the weekend they were invited to each of the other candidates houses for some huge party and everyone was putting up more of a fake act then if someone was trying to hide an affair."
"Great." Danny rubbed his eyes tiredly. Though he had gotten enough sleep last night, this news was bringing all of the other information they learned this weekend back to the front of his mind. Not that he hadn't been thinking over the Ghost King thing, it was just settled on the back burner. "I just want November to be here so we can stop seeing those stupid campaign commercials on the T.V. all the time."
Before the either of them could answer the teacher called the class to attention ending their short conversation.
It was in Danny's next class, honors Biology when his ghost sense went off. He reluctantly raised his hand into the air. The teacher let him go to the bathroom with a look of disappointment on her face that he tried to ignore. Danny ran to the bathroom quickly changing into Phantom once he checked to make sure it was clear and flew out of the school.
He looked around the entire school, but didn't see any ghost. He flew towards the park considering that was where most of the ghosts liked to start their hauntings. He knew he was heading to the right place when he heard the screaming of the locals. He picked up his speed, flying in the direction the people were running away from.
He knew he arrived when he saw a ghost floating above one of the fountains in the park. He was short and extremely heavy. He wore grey sweatpants, a black T-shirt with the Danny Phantom symbol on it, and pair of tennis shoes. Greasy straight bright red hiar reached his shoulders. In his right hand he was holding what looked to Danny to be a T.V. remote control. Overall it looked like he hadn't showered in days.
"Hahaha!" The ghost laughed, "You'll do best as Woody!" he called out pointing the remote at a child the opposite way. A red beam of energy shot out of the remote as the ghost pushed a button and hit the child before Danny could move. Instantly the child changed into a child version of Woody from Toy Story.
Danny looked around to see that others had been changed as well, he could see two people who looked like they came from the movie Avatar, another person was running around like Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc., Leia from Stars Wars, cartoon Batman and someone else as cartoon Superman, Captain Kirk from the older Star Trek series, and he saw one more person as that guy who is the main character from CSI: Miami who always wears his sunglasses. Danny couldn't remember the guy's name in the show.
He couldn't believe his eyes. All these people were being turned into characters from movies and T.V. shows. This was going to be interesting.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing?" He shouted flying closer to the ghost, "Shouldn't you be binge playing video games in your parent's basement?" He folded his arms across his chest.
The ghost turned around to face Danny a smile on his face, "Danny Phantom! We meet at last!"
"Yeah." Danny drawled out, "And you are?"
"I am your worst nightmare." He tried to make his face contort to one of anger and make him look scarier but it only made Danny burst with laughter.
He clutched his sides as he laughed in the air, who did this guy think he was? "Who are you trying to quote? Mushu from Mulan?"
The guy looked crest-fallen, "No. I was trying to be Rambo in Rambo III."
Danny shrugged, "Sorry, never seen any past the first one."
"But they're so good."
"Yeah, I'm sure they are." Danny rolled his eyes, "So are you going to tell me your name or am I just going to have to kick your butt without it?"
"Ugh, fine." The ghost rolled his eyes, "I'm Chaser."
"Chaser?" Danny thought that name was almost as bad as the box ghost's name. "As in Channel chaser?"
"Exactly! Well, actually not really like 'channel' but more like 'movie chaser'."
Danny rolled his eyes. Without waiting for anything else figuring he had him distracted enough he shot Chaser in the stomach with a blast of ectoplasm sending the ghost to the ground. "You're going to change these people back." He demanded floating over to Chaser and flew above him, his arms crossed. "Otherwise I'm gonna have to call your mom."
"Yeah right." Chaser got up slowly, "I'm gonna go have way more fun." And with a pop gone was Chaser and in his place was Flash from the Justice League. "See ya ghost boy." He gave a two finger salute and was off, a red streak following in his wake.
"Shit."

Casper High: outside quad
11:45 a.m.
"I hope Danny's doing okay." Sam said as she took a bite of her barbequed tofu sandwich.
"If he needs help he'll call." Tucker wasn't too worried about Danny and continued to chow down on his sloppy joes that was being served for lunch that day.
"What if it's Vlad?" Sam put down her sandwich and rubbed her temples. She hated how worried she got when big things started back up again.
"It's way too early in the game for Vlad to be trying to get Danny. There's no need to worry so much yet."
"Well, it's hard not to." She huffed. "At least I'm not overly so like Jazz is." She sighed resting her head on her hand.
Tucker nodded chewing through another bite. "I can't believe she's already off to college."
"Yeah, I'm going to miss her." Sam truly would miss her. She had grown quite attached to the red head and saw her as one of her friends. She wasn't as close as Danny and Tucker but it was nice to have another girl to talk to at times.
Suddenly, something red streaked through the outside quad stopping in the middle of the area where everyone was eating, "Hello students!" he called out happily, waving at everyone.
Sam and Tucker's mouth's dropped open with the rest of the student body's. They were staring at the Flash. The Flash was supposed to a fictional character.
"You're the Flash!" Dash yelled, standing up quickly from his bench.
"Yep!" With a pop the Flash changed into Darth Vader. "I'm also Luke's father." The imposing, deep bass voice of Darth Vader could be heard across the entire quad.
The student's all shrieked and backed away from Flash/ Vader. With another pop he was changed back into a twenty-something year old man that looked like he hadn't showered in days. Both Tucker and Sam found it strangely odd that he was wearing a Danny Phantom T-Shirt. "I'm Chaser and tonight I'm going to be your host." He laughed and lifted up a remote that he aimed at Dash.
Dash shrieked along with the rest of the students and tried to hide behind Kwan. That didn't help him though as a red beam shot from the remote and hit Dash. Now though instead of Dash standing in front of everybody, Phil Dunphy from Modern Family was staring back at everybody.
"Uh, guys? Why do I look like that Modern Family guy?" His voice was the same as Phil Dunphy's however he acted just as Dash did.
"Because he's a ghost that has the power to change you into anyone from any T.V. show or movie." Danny zoomed in, stopping a few feet from Chaser.
Sam thought that this would be an interesting fight as the students of Casper High once again cheered for their hero.
"Come on Chaser, just get in the thermos and no one gets hurt."
Tucker chuckled to himself knowing Danny only said that when the ghost was pretty easy to catch.
Chaser turned around to face Danny, "No way man! This is the most fun I've had since I died!"
"Yeah, well you're going to have to have 'this much fun since you died' in the Zone." Danny floated down till he was standing on the grass a few feet away from Sam and Tucker's table.
"I don't think so. Hope you guys have fun." His smile turned creepily wide and he hit a button on his remote surrounding everyone in a white light and then the students, teachers and Danny were all gone from the grounds.
The double doors to the school burst open and Jack and Maddie came rushing onto the grounds, "Hang on kids were here to…" Agent Z pushed his way between them, a phone clenched in his hands.
"Where'd they kids go?" Jack asked Maddie as Agent Z called his boss.
"I don't know. But we're going to find out." Maddie's voice was hard; she would do anything to get her baby boy back.

Thanks so much for reading this chapter! I hope I have you all on the edge of your seats. Do I? I hope so. Well, even if I don't I hope you liked the chapter!
If anybody can tell me who Chaser looks like and from what T.V. show's character he's similar too, I'll write a short story based on what they PM me. Only the first person though!
Would love to hear what you have to say! See you next week!
