Danny felt someone lightly shake his shoulder "Danny wake up" Jazz said after removing the ear plugs.
Danny groaned and got up "Finally, we're there" Sam said.
Danny shot up "How long was I asleep" he asked. Jazz smiled and leaned in close "For once you got a decent sleep during the drive" she said.
Danny rolled his eyes "I asked how long not how well" he said.
Sam rolled her eyes "Eleven hours" she said. Danny shot up in the seat and looked around as they pulled up to a normal looking house. Suddenly Maddie turned around "Now you kids be on your best behavior, and Danny please stay out of trouble" she said warily.
Danny nodded as they walked up to the door and knocked. After a few seconds a young girl answered the door "You must our relatives that were staying the month" she said. Jack nodded eagerly "Is Jonathon home?" he asked.
The girl smiled "Dad, your cousins here" she called. Quickly an older man came to the door, smiled widely "Jack! It's so great to see you!" he said. Jack smiled and motioned towards the wary group behind him "This is my wife Maddie, my two kids Danny and Jazz and Danny's two friends Samantha and Chuck" he said.
Sam's eyebrow twitched "It's Sam and Tucker" she said. Danny snickered as Jonathon motioned for them to come in. they all went to the living room first where the girl from earlier came in with her mother "Hey, where's Jake?" Jonathon asked.
His mother and daughter exchanged nervous glances "At the library" "Doing homework" then they exchanged looks "At the library doing homework" his mom said nervously. Danny's eyes narrowed in the slightest at the stumble, it sounded like Jazz's pathetic attempts at covering a lie.
Suddenly the door opened and a young boy walked in with two friends. He stopped still at the sight of everyone in the living room "Oh good you're here Jake, this is my cousin Jack and his wife Maddie and his two kids Danny and Jazz along with Danny's two friends Samantha and Chuck" he said.
Sam's eyebrow twitched again "it's Sam and Tucker" she growled. This time Danny and Jazz broke into silent laughter. Jake grinned "Nice to meet you, how are ya liken NYC?" he asked. (And yes I know it's not very good grammar but I don't know how to speak NYC style!) Danny shrugged "I haven't got to see much, I was asleep until we got here" he said.
Besides him Sam rolled her eyes "Finally" she whispered. Danny elbowed her "Well how's about I give you the customary tour" he said. Danny looked at his parents "Can I go, please?" he asked. Maddie rolled her eyes "Just make sure to stay out of trouble" she said warily.
Danny nodded and looked at Jazz "You coming?" he asked. Jazz looked cautiously at her dad "Wait for me" she said quickly before running after them. Danny laughed as they walked outside "That desperate to be away from mom and dad?" he teased.
Suddenly one of Jakes friends turned around "So, Samantha was it…" "S…A…M…Sam!" she yelled. The boy looked nervous "Oh, well, my name is Spud and I was wondering, I'm always on the lookout for a girlfriend" he said.
Sam snorted while Danny frowned "She's already got a boyfriend" he said defensively. Sam looked at his startled face in shock. Instantly he clapped his hands over his mouth "Do you really mean that?" she asked. Danny blushed and slowly nodded.
Sam smiled lightly and grabbed his hand. Meanwhile Spud was looking downcast. At that moment Jake decided to step in "So what do you guys do for fun?" he asked. The four teens exchanged startled glances, in all honesty they never really had any free time, it was all dedicated to ghosts "Nothing really" Danny said after a long pause.
Tucker then frowned "Well we do play the occasional video game" he said. Danny and Sam looked at each other before shrugging in agreement.
Then Danny smirked at Jazz "Except Jazz, she spends all of her time reading and studying" he said. Jake smirked "You know, your not as bad as my mom said" he told them. Danny looked at him curiously "What did your mom say?" he asked.
Jake shrugged "Something about you always getting into trouble" he said. Danny flinched, yep that sounded about right. But mostly it was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Danny then looked at Sam and Tucker "Actually we have some plans on what we want to do" Danny said, his mind going back to that 'convention' of his parents. Sam and Tuck looked at him funny "We do?" they asked.
Danny nodded "Yeah, I heard there was an interesting shop in town and I thought you might want to check it out" he said to Sam. Sam's eyes widened "Oh, okay" she said. Swiftly before Jake could say anything Danny, Sam, Tuck, and Jazz ran off.
After they had run for a bit Sam pulled Danny into a side ally, the other two quickly following "Okay, what's the deal" she said roughly. Danny winced "I would not say until I'm positive" he said. Sam sighed in frustration "It has to do with ghost business, doesn't it?" she asked.
Danny grinned guiltily "Yes but it has to stay low cover, I promise I will tell you guys later though" he said as he allowed the rings to wash over him.
Swiftly he turned invisible and took to the skies…
Line break
Jake stared warily as the four teens ran off. He turned to Trixie "Hey Trix, is it just me or do those guys give you a bad feeling?" he asked. Trixie rolled her eyes "Jakie, it's your cousin, just spend time with them and maybe you'll find you have a lot in common" she said.
Warily Jake nodded "We had better get to G's shop" he said. Quickly the three hurried through the streets heading towards the shop that was, as usual empty. Suddenly Jake stopped, for once the shop wasn't empty. Tucker was inside with Jazz looking at some electronics.
Cautiously Jake entered "Oh, hey Jake! What are you doing here?" Jazz asked. Jake looked around warily "This is my grandfathers shop, I always come here, hey where's Danny and Sam?" he asked. Tucker rolled his eyes "Being clueless as usual" he muttered.
Jazz elbowed him playfully "To true" she said. Then she turned to Jake "In all honesties we lost track of them and Tucker decided to come in here to check out the electronics" she said. Spud looked off distantly "So Sam's not here?" he asked in a disappointed voice.
Trixie crossed her arms "Spud, you need to find better girls to crush on" she said. Tucker laughed "Besides, Sam's taken by Danny" he said. Spud looked downcast "Really? But they didn't look like they were together" Jake said.
Jazz shook her head "They are in denial about their feelings" she said. Spud elbowed Jake "Hey, kinda like you and Rose were" he said. A hurt look crossed Jake's face while Jazz perked up "You know Rose?" she asked excitedly.
Jake perked up as well "Yeah, she used to go to school here before she moved, how do you know her?" he asked. Jazz frowned in disappointment "She moved? She was my pen pal for the longest time, but lately I've wondered why she just quit writing" she said.
Jake raised an eyebrow "What did she write about" he pressed. Jazz smiled widely "Well at first we didn't quite get along because she was always talking about stupid magical creatures and how she hated them but suddenly she changed topic and always talked about Jake Long, hey! That's you!" she suddenly said.
Jake's heart ran cold, she still had emails from before the time warp! Jake saw Trixie give a nervous glance "Ah Jake, you're here, good" his grandpa suddenly said, coming out from the back. Jake smiled at him "Hey G, this is my cousin Jazz and her brothers friend Tucker" he said.
Jazz held out a hand "Pleased to meet you" she said. However Lao Shi just bowed to her "It is an honor to meet you" he said. Suddenly Tucker let out a gasp "Sweet! This is a 1996 Pilot 1000, the very first kind of PDA to be released! They are almost impossible to find!" he said.
Quickly he turned to Lao Shi "How much is it?" he asked. Lao Shi looked at him in shock "One hundred dollars" he said. In the blink of an eye Tucker pulled out a one hundred dollar bill and handed it to Lao Shi who, in much surprise, made the sale.
Tucker quickly grabbed the PDA and instantly began messing with it to modernize it. Jake looked in a weird kinda way at Tucker's attitude. Jazz chuckled "Tucker is a techno geek, you find the techno, he makes it tons better" she said.
At this Spud looked suspicious "Oh, and what else can he do with his little devices?" he asked. Tucker grinned smugly "hack into any folder, private and non private along with doing wonders in downloading pictures from others computers for black mail without even being on the same block" he said.
Jazz looked in shock "Like what?" she asked. Tucker quickly pulled out another PDA and fiddled with it and after a few seconds a few random pictures appeared on screen. Jazz hugging her Bearbert and sucking her thumb. Sam in a pink dress.
Danny and Sam sharing an 'accidental' kiss. And then there was also Dash's giant plushy collection. Jazz's jaw dropped "Sam is going to kill you" she said. Then Tucker paled "Oh shoot, I just remembered, didn't Danny's parents want us to meet them at that stupid convention" he asked.
Jazz slapped her forehead and turned to Jake "Shoot, he's right, we have to go" she said. Jake looked carefully at her "What convention?" he asked. Jazz rolled her eyes "My parents are ghost hunters and came for a one month convention, but we really need to go" she said before the two ran off.
Jake turned to G and Fu Dog who finally came out of hiding "Well, looks like we have a solution to capture Invisobill" he said. Fu shook his head "It could help but our best hope still lies in Masters, for some strange reason he seems to have a strong grudge against Invisobill and knows quite a bit" he said.
Jake nodded "In the mean time while you contact him, we have a convention to check out" he said…
