Chapter 25: Friends Again!
Back in the Far Frozen, Allyson sat in the far corner of the cave as Frostbite told her all about Danny.
"Did Danny really defeat an all powerful ghost king and save the entire Ghost Zone?" Allyson asked.
"Yes!" Frostbite said. "Wow! I didn't think he was that great," Allyson said. "Oh he is, he's the only ghost I've ever met so far with any remorse actually," Frostbite said.
Allyson lowered her head. "I fell really bad, I actually believed that Danny was evil and started yelling at him, he probably hates me now," Allyson said.
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you," Frostbite said. "How do you know?" Allyson asked crossing her arms and leaning back against the wall.
Frostbite smiled and said: "He's your friend isn't he?" "I don't think he wants to be anymore," Allyson said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
Frostbite wiped it away and said: "I'm sure he still likes you. How could he not like such a cute little girl?"
Allyson looked Frostbite in the eyes and smiled. Frostbite smiled back. Just then, they both heard a loud crash.
They ran to the wall that had been made out of ice and looked through it. Two of the Observant guards had been thrown against it.
All of a sudden, two more slammed into it. Allyson and Frostbite looked to see were they had come from and saw Danny flying towards them, keeping his eye out for anymore guards.
"DANNY!" Allyson cried. "Allyson?" Danny asked. As soon as he said that, he bumped into the ice wall and fell on his back.
Frostbite punched the ice wall and it crumbled to the ground. Allyson ran up to Danny and squeezed him around the waist.
"Danny! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to yell at you! I hope you don't hate me! I'm really sorry!" Allyson said a mile a minute.
"Ally, it's okay," Danny said hugging her. Just then, they both felt themselves being lifted up by something cold and furry.
Danny looked up and saw that Frostbite had picked them up and started hugging them. "Good to see you Great One," Frostbite said.
"Great One?" Allyson asked. "Good to see you too Frostbite," Danny said smiling. Frostbite set them down and said: "Glad to see you're in one piece."
"Barely, Vlad's trying to steal the Ghostly Amulet to rule and if I don't give it to him by midnight he's gonna kill my family and friends!" Danny said.
"Why would he suspect you have it?" Frostbite asked. "Uh, heh, heh! Funny story actually, um………." Danny started.
After at least an hour of explaining. "And that's why those ghosts were after us, because I've had the Ghostly Amulet the whole time," Danny said bowing his head, hoping not to catch Frostbite's eyes.
Frostbite sat in the corner of the cave in shock when finally he said: "So you've had that thing for fourteen years so no one would take it?" Frostbite said.
"Yeah," Danny sighed. "Well why didn't you tell me?" Frostbite asked. "I thought you'd hate me," Danny said hiding his face beneath his snow white hair.
Frostbite brushed Danny's hair out of his face and said: "Danny, if you were doing it for a good reason, why would I hate you?"
"I-I don't know, I just thought it'd make you think I was evil," Danny said. "Well, you had a good reason," Allyson said.
"Is that all you guys can say? So I had a good reason? Big deal! I still killed all those people, I put you in danger, and now my friends and family are in danger because of me! It's all my fault and you guys know it!" Danny said burying his face in his hands.
Allyson hugged Danny and said: "I don't care!" "What?!" Danny asked, looking at Allyson in shock.
"I don't care! You didn't mean to, did you? Besides, this is the best thing to ever happen to me!" Allyson said.
"What are you talking about?! I've put your life in danger!" Danny said thinking Allyson had just gone crazy.
"Danny, don't you get it? All my life I've lived in that orphanage and never had one friend, and then after Tucker adopted me, I met you! I don't care if you put my life in danger, you still did it to protect me! That's the best type of friend there is," Allyson said hugging Danny tightly.
"Ye-yeah, but…." Danny started. "Danny, she's right! You may make mistakes, but you fix them and save the day! And that's what a real hero does," Frostbite said.
Danny sighed and smiled at his friend. "Thanks guys," Danny said hugging them. "No problem," Allyson and Frostbite said.
"Come on, we should get you back home, and stop Plasmius," Danny said to Allyson. "That's the spirit," Frostbite said.
"Let's go!" Allyson said. Danny ran to the exit, but before he left, he and Allyson turned to Frostbite and said: "Bye! Thanks for everything!"
"Good bye! I'll see you later," Frostbite said. Danny and Allyson smiled and Danny took off.
When Danny reached the portal, it was closed. "Maybe I can just bust this open like I usually have to do," Danny said blasting the door with an ectoblast. The blast did nothing and the portal remained shut.
"What the? Hang on!" Danny set Allyson to the side and tried blasting it again, but nothing happened.
"What the heck is wrong with this thing?" Danny asked as he started banging on the door.
Danny put his ear to the door and screamed: "Hello! Is anyone in there?!" There was no answer.
"Ugh! What am I doing? My parents are probably in there, they'd never open the door for a ghost!" Danny said.
He tried banging on it again, but accidentally fractured his right wrist. Danny yelped in pain and rubbed his broken wrist.
"Danny, what's wrong?" Allyson asked. "The portal won't open!" Danny cried.
