So, why has it taken me a week to update with a new chapter? Because I'm lazy! Scold me! Sorry about the Spiderman 2 pun; I know it's lame, but I did it anyway!
"Danny, I thought you said you invited Mel to come see Arachnaboy 2 with us. You did ask her, didn't you?" Sam had her arms crossed and tapped her foot on the carpeted floor of the theater lobby. Danny raised an eyebrow.
"Yes. I asked her this morning before she left. She said she'd be here. Jazz was going to come, too. Something about protecting Mel?" He tossed some popcorn at Tucker, who dodged left to catch it in his mouth. Sam rolled her eyes, but smiled anyway. "You know," he tossed another piece, which bounced of Tucker's nose, "those two don't go anywhere without the other. I think I might get stuck with another sister.
"Maybe that's not such a bad thing, she's cute, smart and funny. You could get Jazz to put in a good word for you...or me!" Tucker jumped up in time to catch another piece while talking.
"Tucker, I do not like her like that. Before yesterday I hated her guts, remember?" The final piece of popcorn went long, and Tucker, intent on catching it, ran right into Jazz without looking. He smiled apologetically.
"There you guys are! Come on, the movie's about to start!!" Sam grabbed a hold of the other two girls by the arms and made a beeline for theater 8. Danny and Tucker shrugged their shoulders and followed.
"Isn't Arachnaboy awesome?" Sam whispered dreamily. Mel sighed as the hunky super-teen in tight black and red costume swung from building to building using webbing from his feet.
"Yeah. I wish I had a sexy superhero boyfriend like Crystal. He could whisk me off anytime." The three girls sighed again, and Tucker looked at Danny wide-eyed in the row behind them.
"Now I wish I had your powers." Tucker huffed, then quickly shut his mouth as he saw Mel suddenly get up and head for the aisle and the door to the lobby. A wisp of faint blue breath escaped Danny's mouth.
"Maybe not now. I'll be back. I've got a ghost to take care of." Danny jumped up and ran to the mens' room, changing into Danny Phantom in the privacy of one of the stalls. He went intangible and found the ghost in one of the projector rooms, busily switching movie reels.
"Let's see...Ponies Return to Starland? No, I think they'll just love Attack of the Killer Toilet!" The ghost giggled as she switched reels and fed the film into the projector.
"What do you think you're doing?" Danny demanded. The ghost, not wanting to be disturbed or distracted from her fun, immediately sent a huge crate of movie reels flying at him. Not having time to think ( C student, remember?), he shielded himself with his arms in front of him. A green blast from his right intercepted the blow and sent the crate into the wall. He lowered his arms and shuddered when he saw the ghost girl from school floating beside him.
"You really do suck, don't you?" she asked as she sent another beam of ghost energy towards the ghost, who narrowly dodged it.
"Go away; I can handle this," Danny yelled as he flew around behind the ghost and kicked her from the side, knocking the reel off of the projector. "Put the other movie back on this thing. I'll take care of her!" Danny grabbed behind him for the Fenton Thermos, forgetting he'd left it at home. The ghost came right for him, hands glowing with energy to blast at him. He ducked, then grabbed her ankle as she past him, and slammed her to the floor. The mysterious ghost girl was floating with her arms crossed, watching.
"Do you mind? I'm missing my movie."
"I don't have the thermos to lock her up!" The girl rolled her eyes and shook her head.
"Here, I'll do you a favor and show you a little trick." She floated over and grabbed the ghost by her shoulders. "You don't need fancy equipment to get rid of a ghost." Glowing green nails extended from her own and pierced into the ghost's body. The ghost screamed and writhed in fear as all of the spectral energy was sucked from her, until she disappeared into nothing. The nails faded, and the girl said before flying off, "Instead of pushing energy out, try pulling it in. That's how to do it." Danny was left wide-eyed and dumbfounded at what he'd just seen. That girl destroyed a ghost. Not just beat it up and threw it into the ghost zone, but destroyed it. It was time to start taking this ghost girl seriously and beware of her. He didn't want her to do that to him. He went intangible again and floated back down to his own movie, where Mel had just sat back down.
"That was really odd, Danny. You guys were gone the same amount of time. You sure nothin's going on between you two?" Tucker inquired slyly after he sat back down.
"Tuck, I never even saw her. But that ghost girl from the other day was there. I gotta tell you and Sam later what she did." Danny grabbed some popcorn from the almost empty bucket when he realized it. We were gone for the same amount of time, I never saw her but that ghost girl, she got back right before I did...Mel's the ghost!
A/N: What was I thinking...feet?? Crystal is a play on Mary Jane (you know, Crystal Meth?). Get it? No? Screw you anyway, my Beta thought it was funny!
