Andrew was in his room, making sure his anti-ghost weapons were packed in his bag, including the ecto-bows and arrows Dayla had given him. He headed downstairs and saw Kimberly, Mason, Serenity, Josephine and Tabitha in the living room.
"I'm heading off to Fenton Works. I should be back in a couple of days." Andrew said.
"Are you sure you don't want me to help Andrew? I've always wanted to be part of your ghostly adventures." Tabitha asked with a smile.
Andrew smiled back and said, "Sorry cuz. Maybe next time, but you remember that ecto-blaster you got from me way back?"
"Yeah of course. You gave it to me after you suddenly visited me us in New York. I still can't really remember what happened though." Tabitha said, still not remembering that she had got the ecto-blaster when Alternate Older Danielle Fenton / Phantom had come to their world.
"Just keep it on you in case there are any ghost attacks. Mr and Mrs Fenton, along with Frostbite and Sojourn are staying at Fenton Works just in case something happens while we're gone." Andrew said.
"Got it." Tabitha said.
"Just be safe sweetheart." Kimberly said and gave Andrew a hug.
Mason then said, "Um Andrew? Before we go, could I speak to you outside for a moment?"
"Sure." Andrew said with a shrug.
They both walked out the front door and after Mason closed it, they both sat down on the chairs. Mason then started, "Andrew, I know it must be weird seeing your mother dating someone other than your father. She had told me so much about him and from what she told me, he was truly a great man."
He smiled and continued, "Andrew, I just want you to know that I'm not trying to replace your father. Not now and not ever. I really like your mother…..maybe even love her and I would never hurt her."
Andrew nodded and after a moments silence he said, "Thank you for that Mason. I'll admit, it has been a bit weird. There are still times where I can't picture mum being with anyone but my dad. But I have seen the way she is happy when you're around and I have a feeling she really likes you too….maybe even loves you as well. I'm glad that she has found someone like you. I know you would never hurt her and I thank you for telling me this."
Mason held his hand out for him to shake and said, "Thank you for accepting me into your lives."
Andrew smiled back and shook his hand back and said, "I better go and thanks Mason."
Sam had finished packing her back-pack when she heard her father down the hallway, "We better take her to the hospital just in case."
Sam's eyes widened and she came out of her bedroom and asked as she entered her grandmother's room, "Take who just in case?"
Pamela sighed and said, "You're grandmother's not feeling well."
Worried now, Sam asked, "Is she okay?"
"We hope so Sam. But we're gonna take her to the hospital just in case." Jeremy answered.
"Maybe I should stay home?" Sam suggested, now a little more worried about her grandmother.
"Bubelah? Don't do that." Ida said from her bed with a gentle smile.
Sam sat down on the side of the bed next to her grandmother as she continued, "You're friends' need you right now. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
"Are you sure?" Sam asked.
Ida smiled warmly and placed her hand on top of Sam's and said, "I'm sure. Now go and help your friends and I'll see you as soon as you get back."
Sam nodded and hugged her grandmother as she said, "I love you grandma."
"I love you too Sam." Ida said, hugging her back.
Sam turned to her parents and said, "Call me if anything happens and I'll come straight home."
"We will Sam. Good luck in the Ghost Zone." Jeremy said.
Everyone had arrived at Fenton Works on time. They packed some last minute supplies into the new Spectre Speeder 2, which now had more seats and space than the original one. It even had a bathroom! As they finished, Danny had noticed Sam's worried look.
"Sam, everything okay?" Danny asked, holding her hands in his.
"I'm just a little worried about my grandmother." Sam answered sadly. "I know she told me everything would be alright, but…."
"Sam….it'll be alright. No matter what happens, I'll be there for you." Danny said, smiling at her with sympathy.
Sam nodded and they both hugged each other. Valerie then said, "Everything's packed and ready guys. Frostbite and Wulf are on the other side waiting for us."
"Good luck all of you." Jack said as Danny, Dayla, Valerie, Dani, Dale, Andrew, Jimmy, Sonya, Tucker and Sam all climbed into the Spectre Speeder 2.
"We'll be back in a few days." Dani said.
With that, they climbed into their seats, buckled up and Tucker took the wheel and with one final wave, they headed into the Ghost Zone where Frostbite and Wulf were waiting for them.
"Frostbite, are you ready?" Dale asked through the Fenton Phones.
"We are ready Team Phantom. Follow us." Frostbite said and with that, they all took off and began to head for Dread Island.
"Hey Frostbite, have you ever been to Dread Island?" Sonya asked.
"Not for a couple of years. They mostly call it Dread Island because of some of the most dangerous ghost animals live there, as well as a river that is said if you drink the waters, you see the things you most dread within your dreams." Frostbite answered.
"So….as long as we don't drink the water when we get there, we'll be fine then?" Jimmy asked, now feeling a bit nervous about travelling to Dread Island.
"Right." Wulf said, speaking English. "We'll stop to rest in a few hours."
For the past few months since Danny and Dayla had been in college, Wulf had been taking English lessons off Frostbite and had been doing quite well. Though he tends to prefer to speak in Esperanto most of the time, his friends didn't mind since they were all now fluent in Esperanto too.
As it came to night, they stopped at one of the floating islands and set up camp. Dayla started a campfire, while Sam, Danielle and Sonya started making dinner and the boys were setting up the tents. Despite their mission, the group were enjoying camping.
Little did they know, that something was going to happen during their journey and a shadow was already following them.
