12. Another part of an evil plan

It was three o' clock, the school bell was ringing while all of the students pushed their way out of he infernal educational prison they where tortured with on a daily basis. The school was empty, except for four friends that where just living life. Tucker was running around with Danny, yelling and laughing excitedly like little children do on a recess brake. Sam rolled her lavender eyes boredly; sometimes it would be nice to be as careless as they where; sometimes. The boys where running in circles around the flag poles and suddenly Sam felt someone pulling her hand.

"Danny! No, stop! Get back to the floor, please!" She yelled between giggles while he pulled her and they practically floated from the speed.

"Whoa!!!" Tucker yelled as he fell on the floor feeling sick next to the bench where Lei was sitting reading a book.

He felt the world spin; he tried to get up but ended up on the floor once again. Tucker looked up and saw the clueless lovebirds twirl around in the school grounds laughing happily. He smiled, he always wanted to live long enough for his two best friends admit their feelings and it felt like a goal was reached. He felt a hand on his shoulder; Lei had stood up by grabbing his arm and then offered a hand, which he accepted as he smiled.

"Hmmm… this would make an excellent video, just in case they forget it." He said with a smile taking out his PDA.

"Let's make it so." She said taking her cell phone and recorded them while Danny tickled her.

They where really happy that day, they could tell. Maybe it was the fact that Jazz could go home today, or that they didn't have to go to school tomorrow because of a teacher meeting. What ever the reason of the sudden burst of happiness was, they where glad of it. After a few minutes of laughter and fun, the four of them where exhausted and decided that it was enough for today.

"Hey, we're going to the hospital to pick up Jazz and to see mom and dad right?" Danny said his smile fading slowly getting replaced by an expression of worry.

"Uh… yeah, why?" Sam asked looking at him calmly.

"Well, she doesn't have where to go you know…" He started saying but he felt a hand on his mouth signaling him to be quiet.

"She could stay with us!" Sam said smiling.

"Can she stay at my house? We have a lot of catching up to do…" Lei said thinking out loud still smiled.

They shrugged, after all it was Jazz's decision anyway; she probably would choose Lei since they used to be close friends before she moved to Puerto Rico. They kept walking chatting happily, but after Tucker showed the video that he recorded they demanded that he deleted it if he enjoyed living. He didn't take it seriously but deleted it, just in case. Lei did the same thing; she wasn't sure if they would ever try to kill her, but wanted to stay on their good side.

They walked for about ten minutes when a blue mist escaped Danny's lips. He shivered and looked all around, he saw that many people where running away from a street nearby; his usual signal. He ran behind a three and the rest of the group covered him while he did his thing.

"I'm going ghost!" He said as he made the two blue rings ran quickly up and down his body transforming him into Phantom.

"Man, that's so cool!" Lei said getting smiles from Sam and Tucker.

He flew until he reached the dead end of an alley; it was dark even if it was still early in the afternoon. He realized that his ghost sense went off again; this time the coldness was intense which meant that the ghost was near. He flew to the top of the buildings to get a better view and was surprised as he felt a strong energy push him abruptly to the ground, ripping a small part of his jumpsuit.

He looked up and saw none other than Desiree smiling widely, her hands glowing with a pink shine. She threw another one of her shocking spells but he dodged it this time making her smile faint a little. He quickly flew close to kick her, but as she moved his boot got tangled in her long black hair.

"Ouch! That hurts! Get out of my hair, literally!" She yelled in pain his boot getting into more of her hair accidentally.

"I'm trying, I'm trying! It's stuck!" He yelled trying to phase his leg out of the hair disaster but failing miserably. "What? I can't phase through!"

"Ah! Great, I had to shorten out your powers right now!" She yelled angrily.

He crossed his arms letting himself hand upside down on her hair making her yelp in pain holding her head desperately. He smirked, she came here to hurt him and look how she ended up. Karma, maybe?

"Serves you right. Now, why did you come here for anyway?" He asked ignoring her cries for help.

"I won't say until you get your stupid boot out of my hair!" She yelled with tears in her eyes.

"Fine; I wish that my boot was free; AND that you can't hurt me." He said raising an eyebrow boredly.

A bunch of purple dust appeared around both Danny and Desiree and after it cleared up it was clear that he was free and she was somehow tied up with some invisible power that didn't let her move, there was no way she could hurt him; unless someone wished for it.

"What are you doing here?" He asked again slightly annoyed.

She sighed and looked mad. "I'm here to get you, what do you think I was here for?" Sarcasm clear on her voice.

"What do you want me for?" He asked getting closer.

"You'll see." Was the last thing that he heard in a cold voice before he was zapped by Skulker, Ember following quickly behind.

They all smiled evilly as Skulker took a weapon that looked like the Fenton Thermos and sucked him in to take him into the ghost zone. He pushed a button on his robotic body that made a small green portal appear, big enough for them to pass.

On the other side of the portal the temperature was below normal, it would even make the ghost shiver. They hurried down to the other side of the portal and Skulker pushed the same button and it closed without trace. He pointed to the direction of where his skull shaped island was and they nodded. They flew over there quietly trying their best to get the least attention from Walker or his guards.

They entered Skulker's territory and a screen appeared from the ground. There was a big word that flashed red "Password" like in every ghost lair. They needed safety features since Walker was looking for his escaped prisoners and they couldn't take any chances.

"Let's hurry up; we don't want to get caught again." He said as he typed in the password, it was quiet obvious really, 'I am the greatest hunter.'

"Okay. Desiree, did you put the spell on him yet?" Ember asked turning around carefully.

"No, I was busy trying to get his filthy boot out of my perfect long hair! Look what he did to it!" She said as she showed her hair with split ends.

"You didn't put the spell because of your hair!?" Ember yelled angrily, her really short fire ponytail throwing small fireballs at her.

"My hair is the greatest feature, it defines who I am! Stop throwing those things!" She yelled covering her hair while turning around.

"Will you two just shut up!? Who cares about your stupid hair genie!? Oh, and pop princess, I thought that you where looking for any guards, not fighting like a five year old!" Skulker yelled as the door to his lair opened and they all flew inside.

They both looked at him evilly, if there was something that ghost girls hated the most was that someone interfered with their arguing and worst if it was all because of a stupid reason.

"My hair's not stupid." Muttered Desiree angrily looking at Skulker with a glare.

"Don't start with that; let's just focus on the dipstick okay?" Ember asked taking the thermos out of Skulker's hand.

She just nodded and kept stroking her hair like a mother does to her child. Soon enough, they got to his laboratory, where many cages where filled with different kinds of ghosts. The cages where all kinds of sizes and the ghost within them where too. Even Vlad's ghosts where trapped in there with looks of sadness and loneliness.

"It looks like their depressed." Desiree observed getting close to the cages.

"I don't care how they feel as long as they're my pray, they're in my control." Skulker said proudly.

"Enough about that, we got more important things to talk about. Hey, how did it go anyway?" Ember said looking at Desiree smiling; Skulker looked confused but listened carefully.

"I'm never doing that again." She answered crossing her arms.

"Why not? He didn't even noticed his ghost sense when you where there." Ember said casually.

"What are you talking about?" Skulker said annoyed at the fact that he was indeed missing something about his future prize.

"Oh, nothing!" They said in unison sounding as innocent as possible.

"I know this is about the twerp, so tell me!" He snapped back angrily.

"Fine, Desiree kissed the ghost kid." Ember said rolling her eyes.

He looked surprised and looked at Desiree who had a look of disgust on her face. She looked like she had kissed instead of a boy a frog because she was starting to get a little green…er.

"I didn't know that you liked him, I thought that he was going out with the Goth girl." He said raising one of his robotic eyebrows.

"I don't! It's all part of the plan!" She said defensively making Ember hit herself in the forehead. "I mean, yes! I love him!" She added noticing that Ember was looking for her guitar to attack her for telling their secret plan.

"What plan?" Skulker asked angrily.

"Ummm… fine, we'll tell you." Ember said rolling her eyes angrily.

They explained their plan, it made him mad of course; they where planning something big without him even knowing it. Desiree was going to overshadow the Gray girl to make them fight so that way Danny would be twice as distracted. That way, he was in a love triangle which of course was even more difficult to keep a relationship.

"You fool! He might fight with the Goth child and not speak to her! The Gray girl doesn't even like him, she hate's ghosts!" Skulker said angrily.

"That's where you're wrong. In the hospital, I noticed on her wish that she needed Danny but not for comforting, she needed his love." Desiree said knowingly.

"So… you're saying that a second girl will keep him distracted until we could destroy him?" He said confused.

"Pretty much." She said with a shrug.

"Why do you look so sick when we talk about you kissing him?" Ember said rising her eyebrow.

"Have you ever tasted half ghosts? They still have some human taste; horrible…." She said sticking out her tongue.

"What ever, let's just get on with this." She said picking out the thermos and putting it on top of the table in the middle of the room.

"You're not gonna kill him now, are you?" Desiree asked getting the sickness feeling again.

The room stayed quiet as Skulker and Ember looked at her with a confused and angry look. They looked at each other, apparently thinking the same thing; "why is she on this team anyway?"

"You have to be kidding; don't tell me that you already forgot." Skulker said angrily.

She shrugged "Maybe…?"

"Ahh…! You are such an idiot! Okay, no we are not going to kill him now, where just gonna make his love for those girls stronger, you know to add a little fun to our plan." Ember said with a smile.

"I knew that!" She said smiling sheepishly and grabbing the thermos.

She opened the thermos and Danny fell on the floor unconscious. Skulker tied him up with some ghostly ropes so incase he would wake up; he wouldn't be able to escape. Ember turned her guitar into the heart sticker while Desiree made a spell making pink smoke come out of her hands.

Danny tossed and turned groaning in pain in his sleep tightening his hands making punches with a green glow. They backed away slowly; he was a strong ghost even if he was only a half ghost. When they finished, Skulker made the portal appear and grabbed Danny by the chest and a small cage holding the Box Ghost in an uncomftable way.

"I am the Box Ghost! Beware!" He yelled as he tried to escape making Skulker roll his eyes.

He appeared in the same place that the portal had opened earlier and he dropped Danny on top of a building leaving the Box Ghost on his cage beside him. He was starting to wake up which meant that it was time to go, but first he threw an ecto-blast to where the other three friends where seeking for Danny. They looked up and called for him as he flew through the portal making sure that he closed it properly.

He opened his eyes to see a blue ghost blabbing about a box. "Oh great, it's you!" He said sarcastically. "What happened?"

"I shall not answer your question for I am the Box Ghost and I do as I want, not what I am told! Beware!" He said smiling proudly.

"If you tell, I'll give you this!" Danny said taking a small box that laid nearby.

"Fine. You where abducted by the robot ghost who kept me as his prize, the pop star ghost and the stupid ghost. Beware!" He said as he tried to grab the box from Danny's hand.

"Stupid ghost?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"The genie ghost, she's kinda dumb. Now, hand me the box or face my power of doom!" He said as he found the open button on top of the cage and quickly made a fighting pose.

"Okay, I guess you deserved it." He said as he threw the box behind his back and flew to where he heard beautiful voices calling his name and a boys name that ruined the magic.

He floated down to where he was being called only to be surrounded by two beautiful girls and a boy. He couldn't help but feel happy to have two friends that where so gorgeous (Sam and Lei of course!) but he couldn't help but think about how wrong it was to think and not say it.

"You girls are too pretty to be all alone here." He said as he put his arms around their neck and started walking to the hospital.

The two girls looked at each other with an eyebrow raised, something was wrong with Danny; this wasn't like him at all. They kept staring at him as he said that they where like angels that had fallen of the sky and mushy stuff like that as they could hear Tucker running behind him saying that they weren't alone, he was there all along!
