It wasn't often that Danny caught a ghost in under five seconds, but somehow he'd managed it. He'd just been flying around, doing his normal patrolling for a Saturday afternoon when the Box Ghost popped up in front of him, as per normal, staring lovingly at an empty, abandoned cardboard box, also as per normal.
Since the young man was behind the entity, he didn't risk any of his normal witty lines, fearing a chase when all he really wanted to do was finish his rounds and head to the park where Tucker and Sam were currently waiting to meet him. Bringing out the thermos, he uncapped it, caught the ghost, and happily recapped the containment unit.
Whistling as he went, Danny rounded a corner, coming upon another random fan, which he knew from the large amount of his merchandise the young girl was wearing, currently writing in magic marker across a freshly painted white wall. Curious, Danny floated forward silently to read what the girl had been writing. Seeing what she was about to write, Danny decided to step in.
"Graffiti is illegal, you know," and that was all it took for the girl to drop what she was doing and run, not even bothering to see who had spoken to her. It took a few seconds for Danny to stop laughing before he began to look around for witnesses. The boy stood for a second, trying to decide something, then quickly picked up the marker and finished the writing the girl had started in his own way.
Done, he shot into the air, pocketing the magic marker and heading towards the park. He was really looking forward to an afternoon of ice cream and fun in the sun, hanging out with his friends, and most importantly, being in a, for the moment, ghost free town. He just hoped he could keep from blushing at the thought of what he had done.

"Hey, Mr. Washborne finally painted his wall," Tucker pointed down a back alleyway, which looked strangely familiar to Danny, "Guess he couldn't keep the graffiti away though…someone's already written on it."
"Let's go see," Sam turned to face the alley, ready to head in just as Danny realized why it looked so familiar, "Maybe he paid someone to do something interesting, or let local kids start drawing."
"No!" Danny's startled yelp brought both Tucker and Sam up short, the pair turning to look at their unusual friend, "I mean, we should just…get home. Nothing to really look at if it's just black and white, right?"
"It could be an outline of something really cool," Tucker pointed out, even as Sam slipped into the alleyway with Danny hot on her heels, trying to reason her out of going closer. Tucker simply shrugged and followed his friends.
"Danny, it's no big deal, let's just go look," Sam finally jerked away from Danny to come face to face with the wall, then sharply turned and snagged Tucker's arm, whirling him away, "On second thought, let's get to the Nasty Burger. I'm starving."
"You just had a three scoop soy ice cream," Tucker tried to argue, but found two angry glares of angry violet and blue-tinged-green eyes and wisely shut his mouth.
"Like I said," Sam continued on her way, "I'm starving."
The blush that had settled over Sam's face and the quiet, blushing Danny had Tucker curious and so he pulled away and rushed back to the wall laughing at what he found. He didn't let Sam and Danny ever forget what that wall had said.
