I have no imagination. Reading too many fairytales can do this to a person. :D

I can't believe I wasted my time doing this.

*shoves Danny into a random story*


PLOP!

"Ow!" I cried out as I hit face first into the snow. Shaking my head, I got up and looked about. A forest was blanketed by a sheet of snow out a few feet from where I appeared. This definitely wasn't Amity Park.

Where was I?

"Why does this always happen to me?" I grumbled as I sat up and brushed the snow off of my costume.

"Wait, what the-?" I said as I looked down.

I was in the same costume I was wearing when I was fighting Prince Aragon a few months back. How did I get in these?

Paying no attention to my sudden costume change, I rubbed my temples. I should be lucky that I can resist cold weather with my ice powers, or I would have been already frozen to the bone.

"Prince Daniel!" I voice called from behind. Instinctively, I transformed back into human. My clothes returned to normal. The second I turned around, I gaped at the sight.

It was Tucker.

"I have been looking for you ages, your highness!" he said exhaustedly. "Where have you been?" he looked down. "What happened to your clothes?"

I snapped to my senses.

"You're the one to talk!" I commented. He was wearing a thick yellow parka (similar to the shirt he always wears) with jet black leg and arm braces. He also wore shoulder blades on top his shoulders with a cape that had the insignia of my costume.

All this while riding a horse.

"Excuse me, your highness?"

"Okay." I groaned. "The 'your highness' thing is kind of creeping me out, Tuck. I know I'm the Chosen One and everything, but you don't have to call me that!"

Tucker gave me a weird look.

"It seems that you've been out here longer than I thought." He dismounted his horse and offered me a hand. "Come with me, your highness. The king awaits your arrival."

Now a king?

"Oh man." I said as I put a hand on my forehead. "I must be out of my mind."

Ignoring my remark, Tucker grabbed my hand anyway and helped me onto the horse.

"Do not fret, Prince Daniel. Once you warm up, we'll have a feast to celebrate your return!"

Tucker pulled on the reins of the horse, jerking it upward.

"GAH!" I yelled in surprise as I grabbed Tucker around the waist too keep from falling. Tucker laughed as we spun around in the direction where he came from.

"So, Tucker…" I tried to start. The more I know about this place, the better. "Where are we going?"

Tucker, his eyes fixed upon the road ahead of us, gave me a quick glance.

"Back to your kingdom, The Land of Amity."

As if on cue, the scenery of the snowy forest broke away into beautiful sunset, revealing a massive castle so high that the clouds circled around the point. A large number of white houses were just at the base of the structure, almost complimenting the beauty of the fortress.

"That's my house?" I said, almost flabbergasted.

Tucker smiled warmly. "It's one of the most beautiful sights, isn't it?"

Returning our attention back to the road, we stopped at a front gate with a gigantic doorway that was as tall as my real house back at Amity Park.

"WHO GOES THERE?" an all-too-familiar voice sounded above the gate. Tucker and I glanced upwards to see Dash peek out over a small window that directly above the entrance. He looked as if he was wearing more armor than Tucker, but with red arm braces and shoulder blades that reminded me of his Casper High football sweatshirt.

"Just keep silent till we reach the castle." He whispered before turning to Dash.

"OPEN THE GATES, DASHIEL!" Tucker yelled. "IT'S SIR FOLEY! I HAVE FOUND PRINCE DANIEL AND MUST RETURN HIM TO THE CASTLE!"

Dash snorted at this and pulled a rope nearby. The ringing of a bell was heard in a direction I couldn't point out, but the doors began to slowly move.

"JUST GET INSIDE!" he said, annoyed.

"Don't mind him." Tucker sighed. "He hates me more than he hates you. I beat him in Knight's Training, so he has a right to be mad."

I kept my mouth shut as we advanced inside. Just a few minutes here, and I already figured out a lot of things that were comparable to the stuff I had at home. The streets were almost the same, the people were the exactly the same, and we had animals.

A bunch of animals.

If I was going crazy, at least I was enjoying it.

My stomach rumbled loudly as the horse trotted down the busy street. Tucker noticed.

"You want to stop to eat, or can you wait until we reach the castle?"

I smirked. Time to see what happened to the Nasty Burger.

"Um…can I eat now?" I whispered. "I've been out there for a while and I'm a bit hungry."

Tucker stopped the horse and got off, helping me down as well.

"I know a place where we can eat, but you're going to need a disguise. A prince can cause too much attention in a crowded city like this."

He looked both ways and spotted something he was looking for. Taking my hand, he dragged me under his cape and though the streets. Not many people seemed to notice I was hiding unless they looked hard enough.

"Excuse me, is this booth open?" Tucker asked as we stopped in front of a cloak shop. Tucker pushed me underneath his cape further as the owner of the store came out.

"Hello, Sir Foley." I heard her hiss.

Paulina?

Unsure if it was her, I tried to peer out from my hiding place. Tucker shoved my head back.

"Hello, Paulina." He replied in a casual tone. "Do you mind if I can browse?"

Paulina rolled her eyes. "I make cloaks for kings and queens. Not naïves."

Tucker revealed me from under his cape and Paulina widened her eyes.

"That's more like it." She giggled as she laid out valuable fabrics of cloth for me to choose. "Which one interests you?"

Tucker gave me an approving look and I dumbly grabbed a brown one that was dusty, but wearable. Paulina seemed distressed.

"That ugly thing? Well, if you like it, I'll give it to you for free. Are you sure you don't want any of these more beautiful cloaks? I'll throw in a kiss-!"

I grabbed a love struck Tucker out of the way of Paulina's spell. I'd gotten use to her charm a long way back (thanks to Sam).

Wait, where was Sam anyway?

"R-r-right!" Tucker announced, going back into focus. I put on the cloak and pulled the hood over my head to cover it. It was hot to be in, considering the fact that I was immune to the coldness, but at least I didn't get much attention.

Tucker led me into an alleyway, opening the first door to the left.

"Welcome to the Nasty Tavern!" Tucker announced as we walked in. Some people turned to see who entered, but I avoided making eye contact with any of them. The noises of the people talking began to continue as we entered.

I took a seat next to Tucker and he banged his hand on the table loudly.

"Kwan! Two glasses for me and my comrade!" he called as he patted my back. Kwan, surprisingly the owner of the stand, slid two glasses filled with what looked like a slushie.

I took a sip and almost spit it out in shock.

It's the same smoothies they make in the Nasty Burger!

"Here ye here ye!" someone declared as he stepped in the tavern. Everyone but me rolled their eyes.

"Cut to the chase, Lancer!" Tucker complained. Lancer too?

He sighed. "You all still have no appreciation for me. I even came to express about the abduction of Princess Manson-"

Sam? A princess? Captured? (I mentioned the princess part, right?)

"How cliché does this sound…?" I mumbled. Before Lancer could finish his message, I walked out the doors.

"Prin-I mean, wait!" Tucker said as he scrambled in his wallet for some change to hand to Kwan before following. "Where do you think you're going?"

"To save Sam, of course!" I indicated as I threw my hands in the air. "I don't care if she's a princess or anything! I'd save her, even I am going crazy!"

Tugging on Tucker's hand, I insisted on moving faster. We weaved around the city once again before finally spotting Tucker's horse. I jumped on the saddle with Tucker just behind me and I bucked the stirrups. The horse whined loudly as people scrambled to get out of the way.

"LOOK OUT!" Tucker screamed as we were going though the closed gate. Thinking quickly, we went intangible, passing safely though. Tucker gawked.

"What on earth-?"

I laughed as I stopped the horse for a few seconds to get my bearings. Another castle was spotted to the east of us, only it was darker with the sky turning a deep shade of green just above it.

"Follow my lead." I said as I jumped off the horse. Tucker shook his head and forgot everything he just saw.

"How are you supposed to get there without a-"

"Going Ghost!" I announced as I transformed in front of Tucker. He gasped as I floated into the air. Not waiting for him to reply, I flew in the direction of the castle.

"Hold on!" Tucker yelled as I slowed down for him.

Going 112 mph is fast enough for me to get to the castle in under a few minutes. Tucker's horse was amazingly fast to keep up with me.

"LET ME GO!" I heard Sam scream. Panicking, I phased though the wall invisibly.

"I'm afraid I cannot do that." Another, yet familiar, voice laughed. I looked to see Sam (in the same black outfit she was in when we she was kidnapped by Aragon as well) tied with a rope around her waist as she was about to get lowered to what looked like lava.

"Stop it right there, Vlad!" I stated as I became visible again. Vlad turned to look at me and gave me an evil grin.

"Ah, Prince Daniel! So nice of you to drop by! I do like what you did to your hair!"

Doesn't he know that I'm in ghost form?

"Shut it." I spat. "Let go of Sam!"

"Prince!" Sam shouted at me. "As much as I hate saying this, SAVE ME!"

That's Sam, all right. Vlad lowered Sam a bit into the pit and she screamed out of surprise before the rope stopped.

"Or else what?"

Giving him a bored look, I went invisible and flew over to the tied up Sam. I grasped her hand and she turned intangible, freeing her from the rope. Sam widened her eyes a bit, but fought to not show any signs of amazement.

A door crash open as Tucker strode in. I turned visible again.

"What the-?" Vlad said as he looked between me and Tucker.

"Aw man!" Tucker whined. "I missed the action!"

"Can we all just get out of here?" Sam asked out of boredom. "It's beginning to smell like ashes."

Sighing, I took Tucker's hand too and phased us though the wall once more. Vlad was too dumbfounded to stop us.

"Prince Dan-" both Sam and Tucker began.

"Call me Danny."

"Danny." Sam corrected. "What are you?"

I laughed at their astonished faces.

"If I were awake, then everything would make sense."

~Dream Time~

"Danny? Danny? Oh, please be alive!" A hard shake on my shoulder woke me as I opened my eyes slowly. I looked up to see Jazz, Mom and Dad staring at me. Mom softened her eyes and gave an embrace.

"I thought you were gone for a second there, Danny!" Mom sobbed. I hugged her back to reassure her. She let go when she was done and Jazz came over to hug me as well.

"You fell unconscious after you were hit by one of Ember's blasts." She spoke in a hushed tone.

"Oh yeah." I remembered as I tried to recall what happened.

Releasing her hold on me, Dad crushed me in his arms.

"You had us worried there, Danny-boy! That fall down the stairs must have hit you hard!"

While Dad was still latched on to me, I stole a look at Jazz. She shrugged her shoulders.

"Another one of my grand adventures…" I murmured as I tried to bring to mind the dream I had a few seconds ago.
