Carebear1: Thank you

WormmonABC: Let's see now...Skullker and Cassie are both dead...now how would that have a connection? : P Don't worry, I'm not being mean, I'm just being sarcastic.

PSDog: Yes, it is very sad...it's my first ANGST fanfic!

KIT-KAT-77: Yah, I've noticed that people have a tendency to do that. Well, I was christened a Catholic, but right now I go to a Methodist Church. I'm glad I could be of assistance with your summer plan (bows graciously)

Architect04: WEEEEE!!! IT ROCKS TO BE A GOOD WRITER!!! (looks outside) Hmmm....I think we're going to need a bigger driveway...

OKAY! On with more angsty goodness!

(((((((-)))))))

"Hey, Danny! Can we come over today? Maybe help fight some ghosts?" Tucker asked him during lunch.

"Um...s-sure," he said, looking distracted. Sam saw this, and asked, "What's up Danny? Did something happen last night?"

"Well...Skullker came, but nothing much, really," he replied. Sam raised an eyebrow, but didn't press the matter.

"Geez, Danny. You're facing a different ghost, like, every night!" Tucker said. "What is up with that?" Danny shrugged.

"No idea."

(((((((-)))))))

That night, Sam and Tucker came over to Danny's house, thirsty for some form of adventure. They had to be home by 10, though.

They watched a couple horror and action movies (to Sam's displeasure), but when nothing had happened for over two hours, Danny's friends began to grow impatient.

"Hey, Danny," Sam said. "When do these ghosts usually come around?"

"Er...about the time my mom and dad go to sleep." Sam rolled her eyes.

"Well, you could have told us that BEFORE we sat down to watch these stupid films," she said.

"Hey, these movies aren't stupid!" Tucker protested. "They're awesome!"

"Oh, please," Sam retorted. "The so-called 'special effects' are so fake! Only an idiot would think that THEY were 'awesome'!"

He suppressed the urge to strangle her.

"Okay, I'm out of here," Tucker said angrily. "Later, Danny."

"I think I should go, too," Sam said also.

Danny sighed. But a few minutes after they left, a thin spiral of blue mist come out of his mouth.

"Finally!" Danny thought as he changed into his ghost-form and phased through the floor, the two raced down to the basement.

To his disappointment, it was just the Box Ghost.

"I AM THE BOX GHOST!" he bellowed in a fake-scary voice.

"OH, SHUT UP WILL YOU?!" Danny said. The Box Ghost looked quite hurt.

"Fine, then," he mumbled, drifting back into the Ghost Portal.

"I swear, that guy REALLY gets on my nerves," Danny said to himself, floating to the ground, and turned back into a human.

Just as the he started up the stairs, another ghost floated though the portal.

"Skullker, aren't you ever going to give it up?" Danny sighed, floating up back into the air as he went ghost.

"I have eternity to haunt you, ghost-boy," he replied. "Whether you like it or not.

"Well, just to tell you, I don't like it," Danny said.

"Right," he replied. "You may have gotten away plenty times before, ghost- boy, but not now..." Danny rolled his eyes.

"Sure..."

And so the fight began. Every once in a while, Danny tried to get Skullker back into the Fenton Thermos, but he dodged the suction of it.

Finally, Skullker got hold of Danny. He grabbed him by the neck, pushing the blade against his throat. Danny struggled to get out of the ghost's grasp. Skullker grinned evilly.

"Finally! I've captured the infamous ghost-boy!" he declared triumphantly. Just as Danny struggled violently, Skullker saw a thin gold chain was around his neck. He pulled it forcefully, breaking the chain.

"What's this?" he asked Danny curiously. "'Your talent is God's gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God,'" he read off of the cross hanging from it. His grin grew wider. "How touching. My guess is that is was your girlfriend's. Am I right?"

A familiar rage was building up inside of Danny. He fought even harder to get loose. He kicked Skullker in the gut, forcing him to let go of him. Danny flew above Skullker, teeth bared.

"Give it back, Skullker," Danny said, reaching his hand out for the chain. Skullker just smirked.

"You mean...this?" he replied, dangling the necklace in front of Danny, taunting him.

"Give it BACK!" Danny said as he lunged for it. Skullker just floated out of the way.

"So I was right..." Skullker said. "It WAS your girlfriend's."

"SHUT UP AND GIVE THE DANG THING BACK!" Danny bellowed, diving again for Skullker.

Again, he was surprised by Danny's actions, he didn't have time to pull out of his way, and Danny tackled him, grabbing the necklace.

Danny then grabbed the Fenton Thermos and sucked Skullker in before he could react. Panting slightly, he floated to the ground and put the Thermos to its proper place. He then opened his hand, where he had been clutching the necklace the whole time.

The chain was broken, but Danny knew it wasn't beyond repair. He decided to go to a jewelry store after school tomorrow.

As he climbed up the stairs, he failed to notice a shimmering gray light coming out of the Ghost Portal.
