Is sat in the back of the Specter Speeder. She huddled in a corner, her chin against her chest, in an attempt to keep her breathing from being heard. The speeder had been in the air for several minutes, and she wondered when they would arrive at the place she thought only existed in her dreams: Amity Park.

Just after that thought entered her mind, she felt a weird feeling. She felt a tingling sensation, as if her skin was bubbling. It was like an invisible wave glided over her, leaving her in rippling waters. She stifled a gasp as she looked at herself. Her fingers ended in points, and looked more dainty than usual. She could tell that she was a bit taller, and her hair was not in its usual tangle. It was fine, and traveled straight down her back. Her clothes were less detailed and less wrinkled.

'I'm a cartoon!' she thought, giddy with excitement. She looked at the area of the speeder she was in and saw the same cartoonized look. She rose up on her knees, like a meerkat looking for danger, and attempted to see through the front window. She glimpsed swirling green, and her thoughts changed.

'We're in the Ghost Zone. This may take a while. Who knows how far we are from the Fenton Portal!' She wished she could see more, and nearly grumbled about the fact that she was shorter. She settled back into her corner and waited.

Hours later, the girl was struggling to stay awake. 'If I fall asleep, I might snore!' was the logic behind keeping herself awake. The only thing she had to do was listen to the others talk, and they were silent at the moment. The girl silently sighed, knowing that if she were invited, she would be asking "Are we there yet?" constantly, just to annoy the adults. She grinned as she thought of the last time she did that.

"We're here!" Mr. Fenton announced as he saw the Fenton Portal. She heard the groan of the others as they prepared to walk out.

"Tucker, wake up," Sam's voice floated to her. No response came from Tucker.

"Wake up!" Sam demanded, this time with more force. Still no response.

"Let me handle this," Danny grinned. Is saw a green light glowing, knowing what he was about to do. The sound of the small green ray found its way to her ears.

"Ouch!" Tucker cried, falling to the floor. He glared at Danny and then sat down in his seat. Is felt a slight bump as the speeder hit the lab floor. Everyone, except Is, clambered out of the speeder. They all stretched and walked upstairs as Danny spoke.

"It's great to finally be home!"

"I'm sure that we're all interested to see what happened during your stay" Mrs. Fenton said with curiosity. What Danny said to that was out of Is's earshot. She sat in the now silent vehicle. She crawled up to the window and peeked out at the dark lab. Seeing it was empty, she scrambled out of the Specter Speeder.

She gazed at the lab in wonder. 'I've been dreaming about this for years, but I never thought it would happen,' she thought. She ran around the lab looking at and touched all the inventions and experiments. Having her fill of the lab, she approached the stairs, stopping right before she started climbing them.

'They'll find me if I go up there. And if they do, they might make me go home.' Is's constant grin faded to a frown. She turned around, and looked at the various items of the lab, until her gaze fell on the Fenton Portal. Her smile returned, as another idea came to her mind.

'They won't find me if I'm invisible!' The girl walked to the portal. 'I'm gonna have to figure out how to turn it off.' She looked at the control panel beside it, and lifted the cover. Inside were various wires of many different colors. She grazed her fingers over a random blue wire.

"This'll probably either turn it off or blow it up. Let's hope it's the former," Is nervously whispered to herself.

She curled her fingers around the wire, and closed her eyes. In a quick movement, she pulled on the wire, disconnecting it. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes, seeing the portal's green glow fade away. She looked at the empty frame with curiosity in her eyes and then smiled at her accomplishment.

She walked around the lab, until she found a small closet with jumpsuits in them. She looked inside until she found one that fit, and slipped it on. It was identical to the one Danny first went into the portal wearing. Suited up and ready, Is stood in front of the portal, staring at it in intimidation. She breathed deeply, and slowly walked inside, stopping in front of the on button. She took a deep breath, and reached her hand towards the button. Is hesitated and then finally pressed it.

The whole portal lit up, a large light at the very end of the tunnel. The light came towards her, and finally hit. The pain was unbearable. It was like her whole body was being shocked and burned at the same time. She screamed for several moments, but the pain hit her sensitive mouth, forcing her to close it. The shocking continued, and she fell to her knees, unable to breathe.

She forced herself to stay conscious, afraid that she would be killed all of the way. She attempted to crawl to the opening at the front of the machine. The pain intensified, and she was unable to stay on her knees. She fell to the ground, the hard steel floor only adding to the pain. She opened her mouth to scream again, but the pain prevented her from making a sound, and she snapped her mouth shut again. She slowly got back on her hands and knees, the swirling vortex of green pushing her ever so closer to unconsciousness.

She continued to crawl, the pain intensifying with each movement. She felt her hand reach out of the green swirl she was in, and lunged toward the opening. Her upper body was out, and she pulled the rest of herself out. She saw green electricity crackle on her skin, but was too tired to care. She rolled onto her back and closed her eyes, allowing unconsciousness to consume her.

Danny sat on the couch with his friends and family.

"And then you guys arrived, and you know what happened after that," he finished his story.

"I still find it hard to believe that you have fan girls in more than one dimension!" Tucker exclaimed. Danny chuckled, but this was cut short by him yawning.

"Anyway, I feel like getting some sleep in my own bed," he said.

"And Tucker, Sam, you have been here a long time. You need to get home," Mrs. Fenton looked over to Sam and Tucker.

"I guess," Sam sighed. She walked towards the door, while Tucker followed. Danny walked up the stairs. His parents went into the kitchen. Danny was halfway up the stairs when he heard a screech come from the lab. Sam and Tucker also heard this as they were about to walk out the door. Danny ran down the stairs and saw Sam and Tucker running towards the lab.

"So you heard that scream, too?" Danny asked as he raced with them down the stairs. Sam and Tucker nodded in response. When they arrived in the lab, Is was sprawled on her back in front of the portal.

"That looks like that Isabella girl!" Danny shouted, feeling shocked.
