"Mom, Dad?" Violet peeked her head around the doorway. Despite calling for her parents countless times throughout the past hour, locating them in the large mansion was proving to be quite a difficult task.

She had already covered the first two floors, scouring for the two missing supers and sighed in exasperation as she neared the next flight of stairs leading to the third level of the large complex. How on Earth did Masters find his way in this house? It was like a maze for goodness sake!

"Maybe they're not here." Suggested Danny's invisible voice. They had agreed that the Incredibles should be told of the ghost boy's secret and now he, in phantom form, floated invisibly beside her. Of course to Violet, he merely seemed like an apparition… ironically. Seeing as though she could still make out the shapes and partial colors of other invisible beings, it felt more like a partially see through boy to her eyes.

"No, we only patrol at night. The Mayor said it was safer this way."

Danny shuddered audibly. "Ugh, I can't believe you have to stay in the same house as that crazed up Fruit loop." He said, causing Violet to snicker to herself.

"Miss Parr?"

"Speak of the devil." Danny murmured, only to receive an elbow in the ribs.

Violet whirled around to find herself face to face with the Mayor of Amity Park, a slightly aggravated sneer painted in the corners of his mouth. "Oh, hi Mr. Masters." She said through gritted teeth. Was he stalking her or something? Why the heck did he always appear when she was walking around the house alone? It was really beginning to creep her out.

Violet's eyes wandered to Danny who was glaring at the man with great intensity. If he was able to shoot laser beams out of his eyes… well let's just say there wouldn't be a Mayor of Amity park anymore.

"How was school?" He asked, raising his cup of tea to his lips and glaring at the girl almost as if interrogating her.

Violet began to inch towards the staircase, grabbing for Danny's arm to lead him along only to see that he was biting his lip as if trying not to burst out shouting and his hands clenched in tight fists. "Oh, the usual school stuff, you know." She said, shrugging nonchalantly, pulling her gaze from the ghost cringing next to her.

Masters raised an eyebrow. "Meet any friends at that school of yours? You know my old college friend has a son who goes there, his name's Fenton… know him?" Danny's glare hardened even further and Violet could hear his teeth gritting together behind his pressed lips.

Violet barely even had time to blink as Vlad shot this out… yup, he was definitely a fruit loop. Regaining her composure, Violet shook her head so fast that she thought it might snap right off of her neck. "Nope, never heard of him before." She lied, wincing as she caught Vlad's almost inaudible disbelieving scoff and the sneer he tried to hide behind another sip of his acidy drink. Danny let out a stifled snort, earning another elbow in the slightly-invisible ribs. Phantom shot her an angry glare before sticking out his tongue childishly at her.

"That's really too bad." Vlad said in a low grumble, bringing Violet back to reality.

She took another step back. "Heh, yeah, too bad. Have you seen my parents?" She asked quickly, wanting nothing more than to change the subject from Danny.

The Mayor's face dropped, obviously angered that his questioning had gotten him nowhere before nodding his head and pointing downward towards the floor. "In the library, I have supplied them with books and newspaper articles on ghost hunting and the ghost menace." He said, his voice saying 'menace' as if it were poisonous and Violet had to stifle a laugh when she saw Danny mimicking his talking, accompanied with crossed eyes and a giddy smirk.

Violet rolled her eyes at her own stupidity. How had she missed the library! It was on the first floor for goodness sake! She shook her head at this and looked back up to Vlad. "Okay thanks." She stuttered out quickly before turning and rushing down the hallway, grabbing Danny's tangible hand and dragging his behind her. Upon reaching the staircase, she turned around expecting for the Mayor to be staring angrily at her only to find that he wasn't there anymore.

Violet shivered as a cold chill raced up her spine. There was no way anyone could move that fast… well maybe Dash. But then where had he disappeared to? The teen felt her heart leap into her throat as a chilling force slammed through her body before disappearing just as suddenly.

"What was that?" She whispered to Danny who was now looking around in a semi-defensive position with Violet still clasping tightly to his hand.

"A ghost, let's just hope Mayor Fruit Loop over there doesn't know what were planning." He whispered back.

"What do you mean?" Violet asked, curiosity suddenly getting the best of her.

Danny cringed a bit and bit his lip nervously as if deciding whether or not he should tell her before shaking his head. "I'll tell you once we get to your family, okay?" He asked, looking to Violet.

She sighed in defeat. Great, he still didn't trust her. But at least he had actually agreed to come with her and tell her parents and Dash everything that was actually happening and hopefully pull them out of the lie that Vlad had pulled them all under. "Fine, let's get to the library." She said, a earning a slight nod from the ghost.

At last, out of breath and slightly paranoid by the unusual event, Violet slunk into the Library, Danny following close behind and still invisible to everyone else, heaving the doors open with a low grunt to find her parents sitting with their legs crossed in two armchairs, both with a heaping pile of books and newspapers scattered around them.

Two pairs of eyes rose sleepily from their spots on the black and white sheets of paper to see their daughter stumbling into the room looking more frazzled than ever and slightly annoyed. Dash looked up from his position on the floor, setting down his gaming device that Vlad had given him mainly to keep the annoying boy out of his hair.

"About time Vi!" He said mockingly. "What took ya so long? Watching your boyfriend change again?" Danny snorted, making Dash raise an eyebrow before realizing just what… or who was in the room with them while their parents were still stumped by the question.

"What?!" Both Helen and Bob shouted simultaneously, eyes widening and papers flying across the floor as they practically flung themselves out of their chairs.

Violet rolled her eyes. "Dash is just being a pest guys." She assured them, sending a glare as Danny out of the corner of her eyes as he covered his mouth ad practically floated to the ceiling with held in laughter. "But I do need to talk to you about something."

Helen took a deep breath of relief along with her husband who slumped back into his chair. "What's wrong Honey?" She asked.

"Okay, so I'm going to tell you something but you can't interrupt me or attack anything… in fact, just stay in your chairs and don't move." She sputtered out.

Both parents raised a tentative eyebrow and looked at each other with slight fear before settling back into their chairs. Dash had put his gaming system aside and crawled up beside them, bouncing excitedly on his knees, barely able to hold in the rush of exhilaration of a ghost superhero boy was about to join a mission with them… that is if they could convince the elder two Incredibles to believe them and not destroy the boy first.

Violet looked about the room before finally deciding that no one had any intensions of attacking or leaping up from their seats… besides Danny who was slowly backing away and picking at his nails unconsciously. She reached back an arm, touching the boy tentatively on the arm and snapping out of his trance. He shot her a look of pure fear.

She couldn't blame him either, she had been willing to shoot him with her blaster just a day ago and here she was trying to make him show himself, completely vulnerable with nothing but his own powers to the rest of her family… who had come to Amity Park especially to kill him. She gave him a sympathetic look and opened her mouth to whisper something about not having to go through with this when the lights flickered out.

"BEWARE!"

"Oh no." Danny groaned, slapping his hand to his face.

"It is I, the Box Ghost and I have found the second Ghost Portal into this world so that I may destroy all who thrive with the power of cubed containers!" A blue ghost shouted, suddenly appearing behind one of the book shelves. "And I have finally appeared through a portal where the Ghost Boy cannot find me!" He declared, wiggling his fingers lie an old scary-story teller.

"Uh, Boxy?"

The Box Ghost whirled around to face Phantom who had disappeared from Violet's side and had turned visible to float behind the ghost with his arms crossed and a clearly annoyed face plastered on his pale face. "Oh, hey Phantom." The ghost waved nonchalantly over his shoulder before freezing. "Oops."

"Yeah… oops." Danny smiled before pulling a thermos out from behind his back and opening the top. The thermos let out a blinding blue light and when Violet opened her eyes, the Box ghost was gone, leaving Danny smiling awkwardly at the other occupants of the room who had flung themselves into battle stances and were now staring at the ghost boy.

"Heh… hi."
