AN: Consider this extra chapter an apology for taking so long to update.
Chapter 36:
It was finally the last day of school and both students and teachers alike were eagerly watching the clock, waiting for their vacation to start. When the bell rang finally rang, cheers echoed throughout the hallways as everyone gathered their things and made their way out the building. It had been only a half day as the school was holding a concert for the students. The teachers walked the hallways one last time, helping any students that needed it and herding the stragglers toward the football field.
Soon, the school was empty and the last few students, Sam, Tucker, and Danny, took their seats on the bleachers. Various teachers kept a lookout for any trouble makers, for it was uncommon for someone to pull the last minute prank to try and go out with a bang. But for all their watchfulness, nothing could have prepared them for the menacing figure, Freakshow, to appear on stage or his ghost assistant.
The surprise of Freakshow's sudden arrival delayed the teacher's from taking action and they were easily held captive with the rest of the student body. They could do little more than offer assurances to those near them as they helplessly watched the battle take place before them and worry about the two students that were caught up in it.
A shockwave originated from the fighters when they were in the air and everyone's restraints disappeared. But they didn't notice as several bodies had crashed into the stage at the same time. It was the human battlers and they all seemed relatively unharmed. Freakshow then left with his ghost assistant, rather dramatically, and everyone breathed as sigh of relief. Then another crash shook the stage, the dust clearing to show the ghost boy slowly rising to his feet. A ring of light appeared around his waist, separated, and moved over his body to reveal Danny Fenton. The field was silent so everyone heard Danny's desperate plea of "Nobody saw that right?"
The teachers were stunned and couldn't help but join the students as they made their way closer. Danny's friends immediately came to his defense to keep everyone back, but when the GIW showed up, any students on the stage quickly got off. When Danny and his friends made their escape into the crowd of students, the teachers finally came to their senses. They began evacuating the students, while a certain art teacher tried searching the crowd for the runaway trio.
Mrs. Fletcher instructed each she came across to go home as she continued to make her way through the field. Those government agents were threading Danny and she had to make sure he was safe. She had just noticed Paulina and Dash with what she guessed was the trio in disguise when she came across a pair of government agents. They were about to turn and spot the trio, so Mrs. Fletcher acted quickly and pretended to trip, distracting the agents.
"I'm so sorry," Mrs. Fletcher apologized to the one she had bumped onto. "I didn't see you there. I'll just be on my way now…"
"Not so fast," the other agent replied, grabbing Mrs. Fletcher's arm. "You are coming with us."
"What! Why?" Mrs. Fletcher immediately protested, trying to pry her arm free but with no success.
"You and your associates are familiar with the ghost boy menace," the first agent responded. "You need to answer our questions so we will be able to capture him."
"Never!" Mrs. Fletcher snarled, trying to fight back. "You have no right!"
"And you don't have a choice," the agent said coldly and grabbing her other arm. They began to drag her away and Mrs. Fletcher could only hope that Danny would be alright.
(Time Skip)
It had been over two days since Danny was first revealed to be the ghost boy and the teachers were still in school. The GIW had questioned them for any information they had on Danny and refused to let them go home. and Mr. Rainer was given the opportunity to leave, as they didn't really know Danny personally. Mr. Rainer eagerly made his escape while Mr. Wolfe opted to stay to support his fellow teachers.
Mr. Smith was lying on the couch, sleeping with his jacket and tie on the ground next to him. Mrs. Cassie was on the other couch, attempting to take a nap as well, but unable to relax enough to do so. Mrs. Cygert and Mr. Fulluka were huddled at their table, looking up the anti-ecto act in order to try and find a way out of their situation and help Danny. Mr. Lancer was pacing, murmuring incoherently under his breath. Mr. Wolfe sat in his chair with his book open in his hand, but not registering the words he was stared at. Mrs. Tetslaff was in a separate room. She had put up a huge fight and it took several agents to subdue her, getting put in isolation as a result. They could occasionally hear her shout and bang on the door in an attempt to escape. They hadn't seen Mrs. Fletcher since they were first taken.
"You're going to wear a hole in the carpet," Mr. Smith spoke up, keeping his eyes closed. Mr. Lancer ignored him and kept pacing.
"How could we have missed this?" Mr. Lancer questioned quietly. "How could we not have noticed everything?"
"We did notice," Mrs. Cassie replied, sitting up. "We just came to the wrong conclusions."
"Well, who in their right mind guesses a student showing signs of a trouble maker is actually a secret superhero," Mr. Smith countered, sitting up as well and stretching. "I mean really, it's not something you'd ever expect to happen in real life."
"Not to mention being half human and half ghost should be scientifically impossible," Mr. Fulluka added, looking over and adjusting his glasses.
"I just wish they would just let us go," Mr. Lancer said in exasperation, flinging his arms into the air. "It's obvious we don't know anything and had no idea Daniel was a ghost!"
"Mrs. Fletcher knew," Mr. Wolfe and Mrs. Cygert said quietly at the same time. The looked at each other in surprise.
"How do you know?" Mr. Smith asked curiously.
"I noticed she was upset a few weeks ago," Mr. Wolfe explained, closing his book. "When I talked to her about it, she said she discovered a big secret."
"I confronted her not too long after that," Mrs. Cygert continued. "She didn't tell me anything specificity, but she was adamant that Danny, both of them, were good and I wouldn't regret supporting them or him I guess."
"I'm not surprised," Mrs. Cassie shrugged. "And it explains why she's still in questioning."
"I don't she'll say anything. She's too loyal and too stubborn," Mr. Smith declared with the others nodding in agreement, a few with small smiles. The sound of a commotion in the hall drew their attention.
"She's trying to escape! Grab her!" A male voice shouted.
"Got her! OW!" Another voice shouted. "She bit me! THIS STUPID # &% BIT ME!"
"And I do it ag-!"
SMACK
The teachers flinched as Mrs. Fletcher's shout was cut off by the sound of flesh hitting flesh. All the teachers rose to their feet and gathered to get her in concern little ways from the doors. The doors were then flung open and Mrs. Fletcher was shoved roughly into the room. She lost her footing and fell onto the floor in front of the teacher's. Mrs. Cassie and Mrs. Cygert immediately crouched down to check on her while Mr. Wolfe and Mr. Smith stood protectively in front of her.
"It would be much easier if you just cooperated," one of the agents said coldly, glaring at Mrs. Fletcher who just glared. "We're trying to save the world after all."
"For some reason, I have my doubts," Mrs. Fletcher replied sarcastically.
"We'll be back later and you better answer our questions," the other agent replied. The two of them turned and left the room, the doors closing loudly behind them. The teachers stood frozen for a moment before letting out a collective sigh of relief and relaxing slightly when it was obvious they were alone for now.
"Are you alright Mrs. Fletcher?" Mr. Wolfe asked softly, helping her to her feet.
"Yeah," Mrs. Fletcher replied tiredly, a red mark becoming visible on her cheek. "I'm a little roughed up but I'll be alright."
"Come rest," Mrs. Cygert ordered, leading her over to a couch. Mrs. Cassie brought over a glass of water which Mrs. Fletcher took gratefully.
"What happened to you?" Mr. Lancer asked.
"Mostly I was tied to a chair and questioned on Danny," Mrs. Fletcher replied as Mr. Wolfe dropped his jacket over her shoulders. "His behavior, personality, and possible locations. I didn't say anything of course, but you can guess they weren't too happy about that."
"Those monsters won't get away with this," Mrs. Cygert vowed. "When we get out of here I'm going to take them down."
"I'm just glad they haven't caught Danny yet," Mrs. Fletcher replied. "But I don't know how much longer he can evade these monsters though."
An uneasy silence fell upon the group, dreading what would happen to Danny when he'd get caught. A cry of alarm brought them out of their stupor and they looked just in time to see a bright light pass over them.
AN: And that's it for season two. Sorry, it took so long to get here, I got hooked on Gravity Falls. Anyway, I'l try and stick to my regular updating schedule again. And who knows, there might be a Gravity Falls story in the future. Maybe...if I get around to it. So many story ideas so little time.
