Taylor POV
Had Sam really accepted me? Would it now be the four of us together? But then I remembered something. At some point, I would have to go back. I didn't want to think about it. Not now. Not yet.
"How about a movie at my house?" Sam asked. I felt happy. She was really asking me to go along this time. We all agreed and left for Sam's house. When we arrived, Tucker was once again surprised by how big her house was, even though he had been there over a million times. During the movie, I had to go to the bathroom at some point. Sam told me how to get there. After I was done, I had to go back. But I forgot how to get back and I got lost in Sam's house. While I was walking through the hallways, an old lady came to me. Sam's grandmother. I only knew her from stories, because she passed away when I was 2 years old.
"Hello dear, and who might you be?"
"I'm Taylor, a friend of Sam."
"Oh, I see. They're downstairs, right?"
I nodded. "Could you tell me how to get there? I'm kind of lost..." She showed me the way and I had soon found Sam and the guys.
"Took you long enough," Tucker said. "I'm sorry, I was lost. But Sam's grandmother showed me the way." Sam was somehow shocked by that news. "Oh, I see... Grandma did..." "She was really nice." Sam quickly changed the subject. "Anyone hungry? Should I get some snacks." Tucker was enthusiastic as always. Danny and I were too, so Sam went upstairs to fetch us some snacks. She left me, Danny and Tucker behind. "Did I say something wrong?" I suddenly asked them. They looked confused. "What do you mean?" "Well, she obviously didn't want to her me talk about her grandmother." "Yes, she is very dear to Sam," Tucker told me.
The next day.
I woke up in the bed in the guest room. I dressed and waited for Danny to pick me up.
Meanwhile...
Danny POV
I was eating my breakfast, waiting for an opportunity to steel some food for Taylor. When my mother didn't look, I grabbed some fruit and hid it behaind my back. Then my dad came barging in the kitchen.
"Hey Danny, look at my new invention!" He held a weird-looking invention before my nose. "Great... What is it?" "A new version of my ghost-locater. No ghost will be able to hide!" I didn't want to see him use it, at least not if I didn't want my identity to be discovers. "Great... but I left something in my room...don't worry, I'll make it to school on my own." And I left the kitchen, heading for the guest room where Taylor was waiting.
Taylor POV
The door opened. It was Danny. He gave me some fruit, and I ate it. While I was eating, he told me everything about his father's newest invention. I laughed. "Your parents are really something." He turned red. "No, they're not. Not in the least." He looked at me. "What are your parents like?" I looked away. "I'm sorry... It's okay if you don't answer me now..." I sighed. "They're great. I couldn't have wished for better parents." Danny tried to ask more about my parents, but we heard noises in the hallway. We hid behind the boxes. Then Danny's father came in the guest room, followed by Maddie, and Jazz trying to stop them.
"Alright, ghosts, no use hiding! Come on out!" He wanted to enter the room, but Jazz stopped him. "No, dad, I told you, there are no ghosts in the guest room! Look! Do you see them?" Maddie sighed. "She is right, sweetheart. But then again, your newest invention shows their signals clearly." I heard Danny talking to himself. "Their?" "No, dad, you're wrong! Nothing here!" Jazz tried again. But Danny's parents came into the room. Danny grabbed my hand. I turned red. "Close your eyes and don't open them until I say so, no matter what." I listened to him. I closed my eyes, and felt the feeling of turning intangible. I heard the voice of Danny's father. It sounded really close. "They should be here, but I don't see them anywhere." He sighed and left the room, Maddie and Jazz following him.
"Okay, you can open your eyes." I opened my eyes and looked at Danny. "What happened?" I asked, even though I knew that already. "We... were really lucky, I guess. Come on, let's go to school."
