Sam and Tucker ran around the movie theatre frantically searching for Danny. After fifteen minutes, they realised that Danny was gone. With one look, they knew the needed to get to Fenton Works and use the Boo-merang to find Danny. It was still keyed into Danny's ectoplasmic energy signature. They ran as fast as possible to Danny's house and stopped when they saw two other teens running from the opposite direction towards Fenton Works.
Trixie and Spud grew suspicious of the ghost that led Jake away. It didn't feel right. So they did a web search for the ghost and found an old leaked news article reporting on a college reunion in Wisconsin. It told how the ghost they saw had attacked the party and taken over Jack Fenton. They had put two and two together and realised that the ghost Jake had followed was not to be trusted. They decided to go to Fenton Works to get help. However as they ran they saw the two teens that had been with the Fentons' son.
The four teens stopped outside Fenton Works and considered each other. "Hi, erm… you were here the other day right?" The Goth girl remarked cautiously. Trixie and Spud nodded and looked at each other before deciding to tell them that their friend was in trouble. "Look, not to be rude right, but we're kind of in a rush. Our boy, Jake is in trouble with some ghost from Wisconsin so we need to talk with the Fentons, aight?" Trixie replied firmly. However they weren't expecting the two teens to look at each other in surprise.
Tucker cleared his throat before asking that required question. "This Wisconsin ghost. Was it tall, wearing a suit and a cape with red eyes?" He asked the two New Yorkers. They narrowed their eyes and nodded slowly. Sam and Tucker nodded. That was Vlad. "We saw that ghost attack Danny Phantom too. We came here to get some stuff to help him. You can tag along if you want," Sam lied. They could guess that Vlad was the reason Danny had vanished. "Why not ask the Fentons for help?" the boy New Yorker wondered aloud. "Because, no disrespect to the Fentons, they only want to catch Danny Phantom. They want to study him and we quote, "rip him apart molecule by molecule". And honestly we don't want Danny Phantom to be destroyed," Tucker explained.
Trixie and Spud looked at each other. If the Fentons wanted to study the ghost boy, chances were that they'd be interested in a dragon too. They wouldn't ask Rotwood for help and it sounded that the Fentons were a Rotwood just for ghosts. "Aight, you lead the way. I'm Trixie by the way and this is Spud," Trixie replied. "Sam and Tucker. We'll be back in a few minutes. Just wait here," Sam retorted. Then Sam and Tucker ran inside.
Sam and Tucker stood uncertainly in the living room. Until now they had only been concerned about Danny being missing. However now they had to figure out how to get the boo-merang and some equipment away from the lab with the Fentons in the house. That and they weren't fast enough on foot to keep up with the boo-merang. They walked into the kitchen, still trying to figure out what they were going to do.
"Hey, guys. Where's Danny? I saw the hydra thing on the news," Jazz asked, looking up from her book on psychology. Sam and Tucker smiled broadly instantly coming up with an idea. "Er… that's the thing we don't know where he is so we came to get the boo-merang to find him. Think you could distract your parents so we can get the stuff we need," Tucker explained. Jazz scowled suspiciously and put down her book. "What happened?" Jazz demanded. "Well, we think Vlad pulled Danny into the movie theatre basement and then they both disappeared. We couldn't find them. There are two kids outside that say that Vlad has their friend. We think Vlad is up to something," Sam answered carefully. They both knew how protective Jazz could be.
Jazz frowned in thought. "Alright, I'll drive you guys. That boomerang is fast and you can hardly borrow the Spectre Speeder again. You grab the stuff and I'll distract Mom and Dad," Jazz decided. Sam and Tucker blinked, but they could hardly say no despite the fact that they didn't want Jazz to tag along. With that they all walked down the stairs in the kitchen to the lab in the basement.
Jack and Maddie were looking at the circuitry in the Fenton Ghost finder point three. Clearly trying to figure out where they went wrong. "I don't know Jack, I think we should rebuild from scratch and hopefully we can fix the bugs this time," Maddie suggested. Jack shook his head. "I don't understand it Maddie, it should work perfectly. If only we could test it," Jack replied confused. Jazz stood near her parents and took out her book on psychology. She waited to see if her parents would notice her before interrupting their conversation. Tucker grabbed a Fenton Thermos and the boo-merang. Sam grabbed five Spectre Deflectors and three wrist rays and two Fenton lipstick rays. They then rushed out of the lab, attracting the adult Fentons' attention. Instead of seeing Sam and Tucker, who were already gone, they saw their daughter.
"What's up Jazzarincess?" Jack asked concerned. "Oh, nothing. I was just wanted to ask if you would be willing to talk to me about ghost envy later. I can see that you're both busy," Jazz lied. Jack scratched his head. "Sure, but I've told you I'm not envious of ghosts. I just want to catch them and tear them apart molecule by molecule," Jack replied uncertainly. Jazz smiled and returned to the kitchen. She grabbed her handbag and keys and left the house, yelling to her parents that she was going to the library.
Sam and Tucker met up with Trixie and Spud and handed them a Spectre Deflector and a wrist ray each. Tucker begrudgingly took one of the lipstick guns since he had more experience with that than a wrist ray. Then Jazz joined them and stopped and stared at the teens in surprise. "Wait, you two were here the other day. You asked my parents about Danny Phantom," Jazz remembered. Trixie and Spud nodded. "Yeah, um… I'm Spud and this is Trixie," Spud replied, introducing themselves. "Jazz, I'll drive you to where ever that boomerang takes us," Jazz informed them. "But wait a minute, you want to help Danny Phantom?" Trixie interjected. Jazz smiled. "Hey, I think Danny Phantom is a hero, unlike my parents," Jazz retorted defensively. And with that they got into Jazz's convertible and Sam flung the boo-merang into the air. Jazz then chased the boomerang hoping that she wouldn't have to go through any red lights or break the speed limit to keep up.
So the sidekicks are coming to the rescue. Let me know what you think of the story so far.
Until the next chapter…
