Hello, dear readers! Let's cut to the case, shall we?

Jeanette9a: That would indeed be a fun sight :D

Illusion: I do have a plot planned out, it's just taking longer then expected. The first chapter of Mystery Meat wasn't very eventful either, you just knew something was going to happen. I like this chapter even less than last one, but that's probably because I wanted to write it all week, but I wasn't allowed to use a computer. Now I've finally written it, but I was already a bit tired of the idea. I hope it doesn't show too much!

IAmTheDayDreamer: Oh. Well in that case: Keep rolling!

Meapzilla2Mouse: Offense non taken. Also, 10 AM may be late to show up at school, but when you're just sleeping it's not very hard to sleep until then. (Or is that just me?)

Thanks for all the reviews, follows and favourites!

Like I said to Illusion, I don't like this chapter. I hope you do though!


When Danny, Sam and Tucker arrived at the Fenton's house, it had already stopped raining. 'Hey, it stopped!' Tucker said, stating the obvious.

'You don't say?' Sam responded sarcastically, but she added shivering: 'It is cold though. Danny, could you hurry up and open the door?'

'I was just going to,' he answered. He took out his keys and quickly led his friends in.

They switched on the lights. The living room appeared to be empty. 'Mom, Dad, I'm home! And I brought Sam and Tucker!' Danny yelled through the house, while Tucker and Sam made themselves at home. No one responded.

'Hmm. That's weird,' Danny said. 'At this time there's practically nowhere else they could be. I'm going downstairs to see if they're in the lab, okay?'

'Okay!,' Tucker yelled from the couch. He started a video game. 'If they're not there, can we order a pizza?'

'Yeah, go ahead,' Danny replied.

'Oh and Danny?' Sam asked, 'I need to call my parents to let them know I'm here, or they'll completely flip out.'

Danny answered with a 'Yup' before he walked down the stairs leading to the laboratory.


While Danny had gone downstairs, Sam was searching for the phone to call her parents. Luckily she didn't have to search long. She typed in the number and held the phone to her ear.

It went over only one time before someone answered. A woman's voice said: 'Hello, you're speaking with Pamela. Who is this?'

'Hey mom, I-,'

'Sam! Where are you! O god, I was so worried about you! Are you alright?'

'What? Yes, of course I'm alright. Why wouldn't I be? I'm at Danny's house by the way. Can I stay here for dinner?'

Completely ignoring the question, her mother replied: 'Why wouldn't you be? Why, haven't you heard yet? It's been all over the news! Turn the TV on, the news is almost on.'

Sam understood even less of the story now. 'If you're so worried, should I come home? It's not that far.'

'No!' her mother yelled as response. 'No. It's far too dangerous to go out on the streets now. Just promise me you stay there. I don't like it, but when-,'

'Sam! Tucker! Come quick!' Sam heard Danny yell from the laboratory.

'Sorry Mom, got to go!' she replied to Pamela, glad to have an excuse to hang up. But then she got worried. Danny had sounded pretty urgent, almost scared. She put down the phone and ran downstairs, Tucker quickly following.


Danny knocked on the door which secluded the lab from the hall.

When there was no response, he slowly opened it. It was very dark in the lab. There was only a soft green glow coming from the portal, creating large shadows on the floor and walls.

In front of the portal, Danny could see his parents' silhouettes standing with their backs turned to him. They stood in battle stances, as if they were preparing for something to come out of the portal. They were completely still.

'Hello? Mom? Dad?' Danny asked fearful. He slowly walked to his mother and poked her in the shoulder. But instead of feeling skin underneath the latex, his finger hit something much harder. Frightened, he pulled back his hand and jumped around, so he could see their faces.

What he saw took his breath away. Instead of normal, skin-coloured faces, two grey stone hard faces were staring at the portal. Danny could only see their mouth and cheeks, since they had both pulled their goggles over their eyes. Against better judgment, he hoped it was just some weird side effect of one of their experiments, so he pulled of their caps to see their whole heads.

There was no difference. Their complete head was made of the same grey rock, even their hair. His mother's hair was still pushed against her cheeks from when she was wearing the cap. For a moment, Danny tried to scream, but he couldn't find his voice. When he finally could breathe again, he yelled upstairs: 'Sam! Tucker! Come quick!'

He soon heard the footsteps of his friends coming down to the lab.

'Danny, what's going on?' Sam asked concerned.

Danny answered nervously: 'I don't know! I came down here and then… well…' He motioned at the statues of his parents.

Sam slowly walked up to them, not knowing what to think since she couldn't see anything more than shadows from where she stood. Tucker rolled his eyes and searched the light switch on the wall. He flipped it.

Immediately the entire area was lit up. When Sam saw the stone people, she too had trouble breathing for a second.

'Are they real?' she asked quietly. Danny's face lit up a bit. He hadn't considered the possibility that it was all just an elaborate practical joke. It was a small possibility, but it was better than having your parents turned to stone.

Then Tucker came to them too. 'Wow. If they're not real, they're sure very detailed. Look at that!,' he said while inspecting Maddies statue. 'I can see every single hair. There's even some air in between them.'

Then he turned to the statue of Jack. 'And how did they get them into these jumpsuits?'

Something clicked in Sam's mind. 'Maybe this has to do with why my mom was so worried!'

'What?' Danny and Tucker asked at the same time.

'When I called my mom, she was freaking out because she was so worried. I didn't get why, but she told me to watch the news. So let's go!' Sam ran upstairs, without checking to see if anyone was following.

Tucker just walked after her. Danny shot one last glance at the statues, before turning of the lights and going after Sam and Tucker.


When they were upstairs, the TV was already tuned in to the news channel by Sam. The journal had already started, but only just. Everyone sat down at the couch and was watching attentively.

'…may have already noticed it, but there's something strange going on in Amity Park,' the blond hostess said with a fake smile. 'Large numbers of excessively detailed statues have shown up today all around town. Is this just a big advertisement from a talented sculptor, or is something more going on? Our reporter Jake is out there with a story.'

The TV studio was promptly replaced with a scene of a brown-haired man standing outside. 'Hello. I'm Jake, standing right next to one of the many statues in Amity Park's park. They appear to be very accurate. Even stranger, the person this one's depicting hasn't been seen since this morning. Many people have theories as to why these statues have appeared. Some say it's the work of a prankster, while others say it's the beginning of the end of the world, as the Maya's predicted, while again others claim it's the work of a mythical creature. There's only one eye suspect of this supposed creature. According to her, it had the head of a chicken and the body of a snake. She didn't want to appear on TV.

Since some people are missing and the cause of this 'wave of stone' is still unknown, we recommend everyone to stay inside until tomorrow. This was Jake from Amity Park park.'


The scene switched back to the studio, but the teens had already looked away. 'So that's what happening!' Sam said to her friends, excited to finally have some information.

'That creature that the witness described must have come out of the portal and has been walking around town ever since,' Danny agreed, and he turned to Tucker, who was busy with his PDA. 'Tucker, can you…'

Then he saw the shocked face of his friend. 'Tucker?'

'Danny, how did you come to school this morning?' Tucker asked Danny without taking his eyes of his PDA.

Danny looked ashamed as he responded: 'Why do you want to know?'

'Because this showed up on YouTube,' Tucker said, and he turned his PDA towards Sam and Danny to show them the video.

It was a grainy video, apparently shot from a mobile phone on the second floor of a building. It showed a yellow alicorn with a white suit, running to the end of the street.

When the video ended, Sam looked disapproving at Danny. 'What did you do, Danny?'

'I was late, and there was no one around, so I figured…,' he answered, then he sighed. 'I'm sorry.'

'You don't have to apologize to us, Danny,' Sam said angry. 'We don't care if your secret is already out after a month.' Then her expression softened and she added: 'Well, that's not true. I do care. But still!' She turned her attention to Tucker. 'Tuck, how many times has that video been watched?'

'Just 400 times, so it could be worse,' he answered, but he didn't seem too sure of his statement.

In meantime, Danny was deep in thoughts. 'Okay. It doesn't have me transforming on it, so no one's going to know. It's not ideal, but it could indeed be much worse.' He looked up to his friends. 'Right?'

Sam smiled and answered: 'Right. You've been really stupid, but it could be worse.' Tucker snickered. Danny ignored him and stood up straight. 'Alright. Time to get going.'

'To where?' Tucker asked. 'We haven't even got pizza yet!'

'Well we need to stop that… half chicken half snake, right?' Danny said.

'Danny, it's completely dark out and we're all tired. It'd be better if we just wait until tomorrow,' Sam protested.

Danny groaned. 'I guess you're right. Are you guys going home, or are you staying?'

'I guess I'm staying,' Sam replied. 'I don't think my mother could handle the idea of me walking outside now.'

'Yay! Then we can have a slumber party!' Tucker yelled.

Both Sam and Danny facepalmed. This was going to be a long night.
