Let's get straight on with the story today. :D (I'm behind days.) But as always thank you for reading. :)

Chapter 7...


"Danny?"

"Ford... uh yeah?" Danny asked the mysterious man hidden in the shadowed corner.

"Come with me please." He told Danny, he didn't really understand what Ford's opinion of him was but he trusted the family so he followed until they got to the Gift shop.
Ford opened the vending machine to a secret area, and then pressed a button on the side of the inside.

"Come along," Ford said as Danny stopped at where he had got injured before. "You can come through now, the reason you couldn't before was that of the Paranormal shield around this Lab."
Danny took a step forward inside, he felt something go through him, like when he goes through something whilst intangible.

"You know about that?" Danny asked Ford referring to when he went down and got hurt. "how?" Ford continued walking and said, "You don't think we wouldn't have cameras? you've seen this place, the shield is to stop the creatures."

Danny and Ford got down to a large opening after the quick elevator taking them there. Dipper was sat on the chair at a desk, he noticed Danny and tensed up.

"Ford I thought we were going to do this secretly?" he panicked as Ford shrugged, "well if he's the one were testing then-" Danny stepped back in horror.

"Test!? Are you going to do experiments on me?" he also panicked. Dipper let his stress go as he rolled his eyes and looked at Ford.

"You didn't even tell him... You brought him down and didn't even say why?" Ford let out a cough and began to calm Danny down.

"No, no we're not going to experiment on you, and you won't even feel this, literally." Ford continued to explain as Danny calmed down slightly. "We were curious about how powerful you are with you ghost level."

Danny then asked, "How?" he continued to explain, "well you see this device-" Ford holds up the device, "will analyze your rate of ectoplasm whilst you're a ghost and therefore tell us how powerful you are." Danny shuddered. "Will it do anything to me?" he asked.

"No, it shouldn't," Ford replied as Dipper asked him to transform, which he did.

Ford pointed the device at him whilst Dipper got his mind off all this.

"You were really cool fighting the Shapeshifter, you beat it in like 4 shots of whatever that was." Ford overheard what they said. "Shapeshifter?" Dipper explained what had happened, how he went with Wendy to the fair and the Shapeshifter attacked and tried to kill him, but then Danny showed up and beat him back to its lair.

"Wow!" Ford said in amazement. "you must be strong, that creature is hard to take down-" *Beep, Beep, Beep!* "the analysis is complete." Ford said as some papers were printed out and Danny changed back while Dipper and Ford looked at the readings.

"Hmm... well you certainly are powerful, but it keeps changing between readings..." Ford looked at Danny and back at the paper, "it must be to do with your form because you're human. Hmm..." Ford brushed off the experiment and walked towards the largely broken portal. "Anyway... you said you're from a different dimension right?" Danny agreed and Dipper wondered why his Grunkle was acting so strange. "Amity Park?" he said slowly. "I might be able to make you a portal to allow you to go back to your home and time, But it may take a while, and you might be stuck here for longer than you might have hoped." Danny smiled at the man willing to help him and the next he knew they were going to bed.

Mable sat on her bed with Dipper talking as Danny put his sweater on and sat alone until they bounced over to him. They chat for a few hours, and by the end, it was 11:00 for which they fell asleep.

Tomorrow they would start a new quest and help Ford find out how the Shapeshifter got out. And Dippers quest to find out why Ford was acting so unusual...
