Told you I'd submit another one today. I might even submit one more, but I'm not sure. Don't quote me on that!


Jade's POV

"Ada! Get away from him!" I scream. I'm never worried, but she's given me a reason to be. Ada is standing right next to Dan, an evil look on her face. Dan just smiles and looks down at her and smiles.

"Now, now girl, remember your promise," Dan tells her.

"Right! Guys, Dan knows where Danny is! He's gonna help us!"

"Are you crazy? Ada, you can't possibly trust him!" CJ screams at her.

"Well, I do. He's our last chance right now! How can we not trust him?" she proclaims.

"The funny thing is I can think of tons of ways," I mumble.

"Yeah, Ada, Jade's right," CJ says.

"I'm sorry, can you repeat that again?" I ask. CJ never admits that I'm right.

"Jade, don't annoy me or I'll regret what I just said."

"Sorry."

"We still have a few places we can check. Visiting hours open in an hour or two at The Ghost Zone Prison. We have just enough time to fly over there and see if our families are being held hostage. There are way more reasons that I, uh, just can't think of right now, too!"

"Come on Ada, join us!" I tell her.

"NO! I'M NOT!" she screams back.

"And why is that?" I scream at her.

"Because... I'm on Dan's side now!"


Katie's POV

I fly into the room. "ADA!" I cry, seeing her our of he portal for the first time. "You're safe!"

"Yeah, I know I am! Dan saved me. I'm on his side now. We just went over this!"

"WHAT?"

"I know! Isn't it great? You can join us if you want."

"ARE YOU CRAZY? I'M NOT JOINING YOU!"

"A true friend would join me, Katie. I'm starting to think we aren't true friends anymore."

"WELL MAYBE WE AREN'T TRUE FRIENDS!"

"MAYBE SO!"

"FINE!"

"FINE!"

We storm off in separate directions, Ada going off with Dan, me going to everyone else.

I start crying. I can't take it! Ada and I have been best friends since we were five.

-Flashback-

It was recess time and Ada and I were ignoring each other because we hated each other.

Someone decided it would be fun to start a game of hopscotch. My best friend, Breeanna, invited me to play. Apparently she was also best friends with Ada and invited her to play as well.

We had to design our own course with chalk because there is no pre-built course. Everyone got into an argument about who had to design it, so we played Rock, Paper, Scissors.

It was the final round. Ada and I were the only ones left. Best two of three. It took a while for us no longer to have a tie, but then I picked scissors and she picked paper, giving me the first score. 1-0 Me. A few more ties. 1-1. The final score will be it. There were more ties then I've ever seen in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Then, I did it! I won!

Ada lost.

"Well, I guess it's a good thing I lost because Katie can't design courses anyway!" she declared, as sore as a sore loser can get.

"Well, everyone should be mad at me! I'm the better designer! They should ignore me because I won!" I shout at her.

"Oh, come on! Remember the last time we let you design a course? The boxes were so small even the ants couldn't fit in them!"

At this, everyone got quiet. A few of Ada's friends snickered.

"Oh yeah? I'd like to see you design a better corse! And besides, the got small because I was in a hurry!" I tell her, remembering when I built that corse.

"OH, IT'S ON!" she screams, making a few of the kids jump. The kindergarten teacher start over, but then has to attend a kid with a skinned knee.

Ada and I both snach a piece of chalk and begin drawing. It was hard work, and I scraped my fingers and hands a few times, but...

"Katie wins!" a kid shouts, throwing his hands in the air.

I used a different color of chalk for each box. I also made circles, instead of boxes, because I was in a hurry. It turned out pretty good!

Ada made a standard, everyday, black and white hopscotch course. No one liked it because it was so ordinary. Mine was original.

"IT'S NOT FAIR!" Ada screamed to the heavens. "HOPSCOTCH COURSES ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SQUARES AND HAVE FOUR CORNERS AND STRAIGHT LINES! THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WHITE NOT RED AND ORANGE AND YELLOW! I CAN'T TAKE IT! I-I-" she runs off crying over near the swings.

I run over to her. "Ada?"

"WHAT DO YOU WANT?" she snaps at me. I take a step back.

"I-I'm sorry you lost. I'm sorry you're mad. This contest was so stupid! We shouldn't have had it."

"Easy for you to say. You won."

"I know and I'm sorry you are so upset."

"Really?"

"Yes." We hug.

"Ada?" I ask.

"What?"

"Can you promise me we won't have another contest like this again?"

"We willn't!" she says. We hug again.

-End Flashback-

That was the start of our friendship. We've been best friends ever since… until now.

"I can't believe it!" I say, when Ada and Dan are out of sight a few minutes later. "I can't believe we're not friends anymore!" I'm on the verge of crying, but I'm trying to be strong. Trying to hold in all my tears. Trying not to let Ada and Dan win.

"Well, it's for the best. Why would you want to be friends with someone like that?" Kat asks.

"Yeah. She may be my sister, but she'll never be my sister again, if you know what I mean." CJ starts trying to find a way for us to possibly get out of here and to the Ghost Zone Prison on time, staring at dad's old maps of the Ghost Zone. We found them in his room before we left.

"So, to get to the Ghost Zone Prison, we need to go past the Far Frozen and then it should be about a fifteen minute flight, the totally flight being about an hour and fifteen minutes. We'll make it there about thirty minutes before visiting time starts," Haley says, trying to help.

"Alright guys! Let's go!" We all start flying off on this long journey to the prison.


"We are making great progress, guys! It should be about twenty minutes from here!" Haley congratulates and we fly over the Far Frozen.

Then, we hear a rocket fire. CJ is down.

"Told you I'd be back!"

Skulker.


So, um, I don't know what to say.

Review!
