Thanks to all who reviewed! Passes out keys to new cars. On with the story!

And I present to you:

Chapter 8: Disscussions
Keona's pov

"An alliance with the ghost zone," Danny repeated.

"Yes. Why? Is somehting wrong with that?" I asked, confused. What would be wrong?

Tucker answered for Danny. " Dude, have you ever been in there? It's the most unorganized, creepiest place I've ever gone to! Duh, there's a problem!!!"

Okay, maybe we do have a problem. But it's still Sam's only chance. Just Danny, Tucker and me isn't enough to conquer my, and now Danny's, enemy.

 " Fine. " I said back in a bitter tone. " then we'll let Sam die because you two are cowards. Not to mention Danny, that once you were exposed to my secret, you will be an open gate to the ghost zone for the enemy here?!" I was losing impatience, and fast.

" What?" Danny was confused. " how could " your enemy" take over the Ghost Zone? And how the heck would I be helping him?"

" It's a leeching spell Danny. Once someone figures out myy true identity, Gyrier, my nemesis, could leech on to you and drain away any special powers from you. You can die if your not too careful." Tucker and Danny turned pale. " Right now, you don't know my whole story, so it won't affect you until then. But Gyrier could easily see that and leech on to you anyway. The curse only affects living things, but Danny, your still half human. And he could use your powers to imprison the Ghost Zone."

I think that did it. Danny and Tucker were talking it over, and they finally agreed.

" We're not about to leave Sam with what's-his-name," Tucker said.

Tucker. Oh no. Another loop hole. Just what I needed. Tucker can't come with us.

" Um, Tucker?" I said, gently. " I'm soo sorry, but I have forgotten one thing." He looked at me with questioning eyes. " You can't come with me and Danny....."

Tucker facial expression went from confusion to anger. " What! Why not?! I can defend myself just as well as you can. And I'm not about to let Sam die without me helping to get her back!" He was fuming. Danny tried to calm him down.

" I'm sorry. I really am, but your completly human. When you would go to enter the portal to Areon, you might die. And I'm not gonna have that." I said firmly. I had forgotten about the protection spells on the portal. Although I didn't have to worry about Danny. He would just have to be in ghost form when he entered.

Tucker was about to argue more, but thought the better of it, and said," Fine. I'll stay. But is there anything I could do to help?"

I thought about it. " Well, look out for ghosts. You can take Danny's spot while we're gone. " Danny gave handed me the Fenton Thermos, and I gave it to Tucker.

I glanced at my watch. It read 10 pm. " I think we should all go beck to our rooms. I need to begin repacking, and you guys look like your about to fall asleep on your feet." I looked at them. Tucker, although still mad, was yawning every two minutes. Danny's eye lids were drooping over his eyes. Then I saw him snap them open as quickly as possible. Apparently, his wound was wearing him out. He needed sleep.

Tucker and Danny agreed and then Tucker said between a yawn," Okay, well..... I guess we'll see you at breakfast."

I turned to go and stopped. I couldn't resist. I looked straight at Danny's disappearing figure and read his mind.

I think we can trust Keona, or whoever that person was. And maybe her plan might work after all. The ghosts would fight for their land, if not for us.
I miss Sam. Please let her be okay. What I wouldn't give to see her smiling at me right now. Her raven black hair, her delicate hands.....................

I stopped. I felt bad for invading his privacy. But then I smiled. So Danny trusts me after all.

I turned to go. After a couple of minutes walking, I got to my room. As I started repacking, I realized something and snickered.

You know, Sam and Danny would make a cute couple. And to think they both ike eachother and won't admit it. I laughed. Apparently, this conquest is going to have more than one mission............................I drifted off asleep.

The sound of an alarm clock blaring in my ear wike me up. I groaned and turned it off. I looked at it to see what time it was. The clock read 7: 00.

I gasped and got out of bed. The boys wre probably waitng on me! I got dressed as quickly as I could, and rushed down to Mess Hall.

As I suspected, my friends were already there, talking over breakfast. I took a plate, got some eggs and beacon, and plopped down by Tucker.

" Sorry I'm late. I over slept, sort of....... " Then, just out of curiousity, I began to read Tucker's mind.

So, she's human after all. But I still hate the fact that I CAN'T GO SAVE SAM!

" Uh, so Keona..... hey! Is that your real name?" Danny asked.

" Yes it is. Anyway, thanks. You don't know what your helping means to me..............."

Danny was sympathetic. " Your welcome. Although we would have come along to find Sam anyway. " And, unaccountably, he grinned. " I can't wait to get on with your plan, Keona. Let the enemy give us the best he's got."

Chapter 8 completed. Sorry it took me so long to type though. My dad had been putting pictures from the digital camera into the computer. So, I didn't get the computer for a while, then I realized I need to update Spinning out of Control, and I'm just now getting to this................ well, back to Wordpad!
