Hi! Now's some time for mischievous teenagers to be mischievous (Mwahahahaha). Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 35:
"Ugh," I groaned as I collapsed on to Danny's bed and he sat down at his computer. "Five straight hours of ghost hunting, could this night get any worse?"
"Don't say that, you'll jinx us," Danny whined.
"Oh please, that only happens on T- oh wait, we are on TV. I wonder if me being here is altering the old episodes in my dimension. Then I'd be the star of the show."
"Hey, it's my show."
"Yeah, but what's more interesting, a boy with ghost powers or a girl with ghost powers from the very dimension our viewers are watching from?" I said with a grin.
"I don't think I'll ever understand you."
"I'm a girl, you're not supposed to."
That got a tired snicker out of the both of us and he said, "I don't know, hanging out with you is kind of like hanging out with Tucker."
"Other than I have a better chest region and can hack into cooler mainframes than him."
"What? I don't think so."
"Watch me," I said, rolling off his bed and walking over to his place at the computer.
"I better not get some government agency investigating my room because of you," he warned, standing up to give me his seat.
"Please, I'm just gonna hack Lancer's webcam," I said, sitting down and opening a text document. I quickly entered a large string of code and saved the file as a .cmd. Then I set up a bogus email account using Principal Ishiyama's name. "Now all I've got to do is send this file as an attachment to a seemingly important email."
"Okay, how do you know how to do that?"
"Let's just say you can record some really good blackmail on particular bullies if you do it right."
"You mean you've done this to Dash?"
"Please, having videos of him playing with his teddy bears are more for personal satisfaction," I said with a grin.
"You're awesome."
"I know," I said as the live feed from Lancer's house popped up on the screen.
"Huh, must have been a glitch," Lancer said, obviously looking at his computer screen. He stood up and seemed to look around the room to see if anyone was watching and then lifted up a TV remote and started singing one of Ember's songs.
Danny and I both busted up in laughter. "I thought he hated Ember," Danny said in between laughs.
"Apparently he doesn't hate her music," I said as I grabbed my gut to try to keep myself from dying.
"Tucker has to see this," Danny said, leaning over me and opening up a chat channel with Tucker.
Tucker's face blinked on screen and he looked at us with an odd expression. "What are you laughing at?"
"Bro, you've got to see this," I said, activating an onscreen view for him.
"Is that Lancer?" he asked with a grin on his face, obviously trying to hold back a laugh.
"Kira hacked his web cam," Danny said with a break in his laughter.
"That's awesome!"
"What are you looking at?" I heard Sam's voice say from Tucker's window.
"Oh crap, we're in trouble," I commented as Danny's laughter subsided.
Sam's face came into view and she was looking at the screen intently. "Are you spying on Lancer?" she questioned with irritation.
"Um, would us if we said it was his evil clone," Tucker squeaked with a nervous shrug.
"Danny did it!" I lied and hid behind him.
Sam had a glare that spoke more than a thousand words. "Alright, I know Danny's not smart enough to do this-"
"-Hey!"
"-so Tucker, Kira, which of you did it?"
"It was her/him!" Tucker and I shouted at the same time.
Her scowl deepened. I didn't even think it was possible. "I think I can guess the guilty party," she said, glaring at me.
Laughing nervously, I said, "I can't help it I'm a hacktivist."
"Whatever. You two should be in bed. There's going to be a lot more ghost hunting tomorrow," she said with an empty voice.
Danny and I groaned. "Fine," I muttered as Danny ended the video call.
"So, you about as ready to pass out as I am?" I asked.
"Maybe more," he said, landing face first in his bed.
"Guess I'll see you in the morning," I mumbled and stumbled out of his room.
I didn't make it much farther than the hallway before collapsing with exhaustion. Eh, the rug felt comfy enough.
