A/N Sorry for the wait.

The class, after some convincing from Danny, eventually ate the food the Lunch Lady gave them. Then the former students followed Sam out the door and back on the road. (Danny was currently invisible and intangible to avoid Paulina.) It was silent for a while, then the question Danny was dreading came up.

"So what happened to Danny?" Lester asked.

"He's still waiting for his parents to come."Danny answered carefully.

"Why aren't you rescuing him?" Nathan asked.

"It would be safer for everyone if he went alone. I passed him on my way over told me he was heading to Pandora's after an hour."

"Why don't we wait for him?" Mikey asked, "Or meet him at this Pandora's?"

"Because it will take much long to take you home." And he couldn't keep a clone for that long.

"If we wait for him, we'll be putting ourselves into danger." Melody added.

Danny smiled and mentally thanked Melody. He landed on the ground, turned tangible and visible, tired from all the energy he was using up. Immediately Paulina grabbed his hand. Danny groaned. If Paulina continued this Sam might get angry and shove her into a thermos...

Danny wiggled his way out of Paulina's grip and moved to the front of the crowd.

"Alright, I am going to find an abandoned lair to sleep in tonight." Danny tried to smile but he was getting tired from being in his ghost form for too long.

"Go, We'll stay right here." Sam assured him.

He flew away from the class and hoped that they would listen to Sam and stay put. He landed on an abandoned island. Looking around he noticed the skull cave. Jungle plants were growing everywhere.

This was Skulker's island. Skulker had disappeared a long time ago. No ghost really knew where he went. Most really didn't care. Danny smiled to himself; He knew exactly where Skulker was.

Danny turned human and began disabling the traps. After half an hour, Danny had cleared out a small area. Deciding it would be good enough, Danny transformed into his ghost self and flew back to the class. He turned invisible as soon as he heard yelling.

Dash and Kwan were yelling at each other. Danny, surprised, decided to eavesdrop.

"Dash, We're DEAD!" Kwan yelled. "Phantom isn't taking us home."

"How do YOU know? Phantom will take us home!" Dash yelled back.

"Dash, the last thing I saw was you getting shot in the back of your head before ending up here. Phantom's idea of home is different than ours. His job is to protect the living from us!"

Dash was quiet for a moment then asked, "What about Fenturd? If he was a ghost, wouldn't he be travelling with us?"

"We are dead. I don't think Sam or Danny are. I think they brought Phantom here."

"If they brought Phantom here why would Danny have to stay behind?"

"I don't know!" Kwan shouted.

Not bearing to hear anymore, Danny flew down the path and found Sam. He turned visible catching everyone's attention.

"Alright folks, follow me." He said walking down the path that would lead them to Skulker's lair.

It took the class fifteen minutes to make it to the island. By then everyone knew who Leanna's niblings were, what a nibbling was and that her friend Helen burnt the rice last night. Everyone was tired and annoyed with Leanna. Leanna continued talking, oblivious to the glares she was getting.

Danny decided to end their misery.

"Alright guys. See that cave over there? Go inside, get some rest. Don't leave until I call you."

"Why? Natalie asked. "And where will you be?"

"There are traps around the area and I'll be keeping watch." He told her.

The class entered the cave and soon fell asleep.

Danny sighed thinking of the fight. Kwan was right, he could take then back to the human realmn, it was against his code.

He couldn't take them home.

A/N. Angst at the end again.

Because I have not yet said this, even though I think it's redundant considering the sight this story is on, I DO NOT OWN DANNY PHANTOM.

Is Kwan right? Can Danny not take them home?
