Um, hi? Wow, has it really been that long since I've updated? Um, I have a really good excuse! You see, I had homework, and friends, and family, and um, uh...

*Stares at crowd to see them glaring*

OK, fine, I was just lazy. I actually had this chapter ready since I last updated. I have another one to that I'll update when this one is finished being uploaded. So, anyways, enjoy!

"Someone needs to die, and that someone is Katie."

Katie's POV

"ARE YOU SERIOUS?" I scream in shock.

"I'm all for it!" Jade says. The others look at her shocked. "Just think of all the quietness we'll have!" They nod in agreement. I guess I didn't help my case when I screamed after that, but hey, you would to if you had to die to get your best friend back.

I'd do tons of things to help Ada: I'd break all my Jonas Brothers CD's, I'd stop watching TV for a week, I even would never chicken out of dares in Truth or Dare ever again, but dying? That's just going to far!

"Relax, Katie," Haley tells me.

"WHY? YOU TELL ME TO DIE AND THEN SAY 'RELAX, EVERYTHING WILL BE OK, DON'T WORRY!' THAT IS THE STUPIDEST THING I EVER HEARD! FORGET ADA, LET'S JUST LEAVE!" I start out the door, but then I relize no one is fallowing me. "Come on guys!" I tell them.

"No! We're getting Ada back!" Krissy yells.

"That's easy for you to say. You don't have to die!" I shout at her.

"Katie, I don't think you heard what I meant to say. No one needs to die, someone just needs to be willing to possibally get stuck in jail," Haley explains.

"Really? That's just as bad!" I stomp out of the room, transform into my ghostly self, and fly. I don't get it! That is the stupidest thing I have ever herd!

Kat's POV

I watch as my big sister flies off. She and I were really close, and I hope she comes back, but I can't worry about that for much longer. We need to get Ada out before she's gone forever!

"Well, obviously Katie isn't going to be able to do it, so we need somebody else. Kat, how about you?"

I freak out. "Wh-Why me?" Now I totally see why Katie doesn't want to do it!

"Well, you and her have the same name minus two letters and-"

She is interrupted by me saying, "Well! WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE?"

"Come on Kat! We really need someone to do this for us!"

"Yeah? So why me? Why not you?"

"Because I'm older than you! I'm nineteen and your only ten! I still need to go to college. I've been waiting for it my whole life, in not going to give it up now!"

"You just explained exactly why you should go and not me!"

"Why?"

"I'm ten, you nineteen. You've gotten to experience things that I haven't! I want to learn how to drive! I wanna be a teen! I wanna get in to middle school and high school, and I, like you, want to go to college!"

"You're point is?"

I'm about to scream, but I'm interrupted by a cry from Jade.

"OH MY GOD! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, I'LL DO IT!"

We turn around and stare at her.

"Really?" I ask.

"If it'll make you two SHUT UP!"

"I'm fine with that," I say. Haley just grumbles and tells Jade what she's going to do:

"What you need to do is get in trouble. Way more trouble than what would get you put into The Ghost Zone Prison. It needs to be so much he wants to get rid of you. But, first, you're going to ask him politely. We wanna be the good guys here. Anyways, if it gets down to worst case senerio and we have to get you in the Forever Gone, you have to help get Ada out. That's the plan. You still in? We can still make Kat do it if you want."

"No, I'm in."

Jade is like the queen of getting in trouble. She's been suspended from our school too many times to count! The only thing that keeps her from getting expelled is that she is the daughter of the hero of the earth!

"And, Kat?" Haley says. I look at her. "If she fails, which she shouldn't, it's your job, no exceptions!" Haley storms away.

I gulp. I don't expect Jade to fail, but I she does, I don't want to get in trouble! I'm this sweet little girl! I don't want to stop! I need to find Katie! Transforming into my ghostly self, I fly off to search.

Katie's POV

I've only been flying for a few minutes and I'm still really mad. Why would I want to give up my life? I'm about to fly through a natural portal (hopefully to earth in out time zone) when I hear a loud bang, fallowed by a sound so loud, I have to cover my ears! Next, there are other crashes, snaps and booms. I turn around just in time to see Clockwork's lair collapse to the ground.

Jade's POV

I was busy planning what I was going to do when the portal gets all foggy. Ada jumps out, but there's a sound, too. It's so loud, I have to cover my ears! I watch as my brothers and sisters and cousins do the same. Clockwork's building then collapses, but a shield is put over us by CJ to protect us. Then a figure walks out of the fog:

Dan Phantom

Um, that was short, but not as short as one of my newer stories Murder in Amity. You guys should read that one, too. It has some positive feedback.

REVEIW!
