Chapter four: Industria's Folly

Jack had decided on ribs for dinner, and at about 10:26 they were done. All five of the people sat down, and began to eat. Jack and Maddie stared at Sora without looks of curiousity, Jazz looked at her with a look of mortification, and Danny gazed at her with a look of pure desire, as Sora wolfed down 6 ribs in a minute.

"What? Is there sauce on my face?" Sora asked.

"That and you just ate 6 ribs like some kind of wild animal!" Jazz yelled.

"Now Jazz, she didn't eat like a wild animal......." Maddie started.

"Are you kidding me? That was amazing! She ate a rib every 10 seconds, and if that's not a world record, I don't know what is!" Jack said in amazement.

"I know, isn't she great?" Danny asked dreamily.

"You people get crazier by the minute, just look at her face!" Jazz said, pointing to a very confused and messy Sora.

"Ummmmmmm, you know, if you guys want me to wash my face, I can." Sora suggested.

"Good idea." Jazz sharply said.

Dinner went on for another 13 minutes, with Jazz consantly lecturing about how important personal manners and dinner etique was. After everyone took a shower or bath, and everyone was in pajamas (Sora borrowed Danny's), it was time for bed and Sora slept on the couch. Sora woke up unexpectidly at around 3:07 AM, and saw a dim light coming down the stairs, and before she could she could react, instinct took over,

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"WHOA, AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Huh? Danny?" Sora asked into the darkness.

She walked toward the stairs, and there was Danny, lying at the bottom.

"Hi, Sora..............just making sure.................you're okay.........." Danny said, barely conscious.

"Oh god............Danny are you okay?"

Danny nodded as Sora picked him up and set him on the couch. She went and got a bag filled with ice, and put it on Danny's head, where he fell. She then woke up Maddie, because Jack just wouldn't wake up and Jazz was being cranky, told Maddie what happened, and took her to where Danny was lying. Maddie called the Amity Park Hospital, and the ambulence sped over. They examined Danny and confirmed that the boy was okay, but to make sure he didn't walk around during the night. Maddie and Sora sighed with reilef, and Maddie went back to bed. Danny, however, watched a few old movies with Sora on the couch until 8:58, when Jack ran down the stairs and nearly crushed Danny with a bear-hug.

"Danny! Are you alright?" Jack shouted.

"You're kind of squishing me, but yes...."

"Whoa, sorry, son it's just that...well, you know........"

"It's okay, Dad."

At around 12:54, Skyler picked up Sora and sped off, not wanting to relive all 5 of her comas. For Sora and Danny, the day was basically, uneventful, until around 11:09, Danny's ghost sense went off, he transformed, and went into the living room, and got a big, glowing green net in his face.

"SKULKER?!?!?!? "

"In teh flesh!"

"Don't you mean 'in teh cyber techie-tech suit'?"

"Well, uh....um..........er......SHUT UP YA SPOOTY GHOST BOY!!!!!!!!"

Danny knew he was going to get dragged into the Ghost Zone, unless, and it was a cheap way out, but still......

"Hey you, what good is just a male if there's a female too?"

"Say wha?"

"UGH, I'm saying that it's always better to get a female and a male of the same spieces if they're close by!"

"But, but why?!?!?"

"Think about, bucket head."

Skulker stared off into space for a few seconds, and then his face screwed up and he stuck his tounge out and whined, "EWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"What?"
"You've got a very dirty mind, that's what. AND where the heck am I gonna get a female ghost-human hybrid?"

"Do you suffer from memory loss or somthing? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU WERE FIGHTING AROUND 9:13 YESTERDAY?!?!?!?!?!?!?"

Skulker thought about that question, smiled evily and flew to the Amity Park so-called Youth Center. About 4 minutes later Sora tackled Skulker, and fired an ectoplasmic energy ray in his face.

"Ya miss meh?" Sora asked.

"Not in particular, but he did." Skulker said, pointing at the net.

Skulker then grabbed Sora's neck, and was about to put her in the net and drag her into the ghost zone when,

"HEY BUCKET BRAIN, LET MY BUDDY GO!!!!!!!!!!!" Kayla's voice rang out.

"Awwwwwwwww................it's a munchkin!" Skulker cooed.

"I AM SO NOT A MUNCHKIN!!!!!!!!!!!! FEEL MY FURY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kayla screamed back, as she charged toward Skulker, a glowing mallet in her hand.

"Ouch, ouch! Hey you little rabid munchkin, leave meh alone!"

"Sora, come over here, I think I might be able to help......" Danny whispered while Kayla tried beating Skulker to an ectoplasmic pulp.

"Yea? I'm listening......" Sora said as Danny whispered a huge secret in her ear.

"......all you need is a PDA." Danny finished a few seconds later.

"I think Kayla has one that she hasn't broken apart yet........"

"That'll work."

"Hey, Kayla, did you break all the PDAs?"

"Nah, why?"

With that, Sora flew into Kayla's laboratory, grabbed the PDA, and flew back in record time.

"Okay, here goes nutin'......"

Sora typed a message, sent it to the PDA on Skulker's suit and Skulker read aloud,

"'11:19, stop beating up Kayla?' Wait, what kind of a name is Kayla?"

"A rather good one!" Kayla snorted.

Sora typed another message.

"'11:20, let Danny go.' Let Danny..........oh crap." Skulker said, looking at his wrist.

Danny was freed instantly from the net, and came over to Sora and glanced over her shoulder.

"You should try this, it's major funaruski!"

"Really? Gimme that!"

After ten minutes of playing around, Sora and Danny got bored of torturing Skulker, that and they ran out of ideas.

"Hey Kayla, does you wanna make the bucket boy do crazy stuffs?" Sora asked in a baby-talk voice.

Kayla immediatly stopped trying to beat Skulker to a pulp and began begging like a dog, literally.

"Okay all you have to do is type out your message and press 'send'." Sora explained.

Kayla smiled evily at Skulker, waved the PDA around, and typed a message. Skulker gulped, looked at his wrist and read aloud, "'11:32.....' DRINK OUT OF THE TOILET!?!?!?!?!?!?"

After twenty-two minutes, Skulker had drank out of the toilet, hit his head against the wall, had scooted across the floor on his butt, played 'London Bridge is falling down' on a kazoo, and bathed in onion water.

"This is funaruski, I could do this all night!" Kayla declaired.

"Crap." Skulker remarked.

"And I think, wait a minute, oh yeah........I'm getting the most perfecty perfect perfectruski idea that even the King of Perfland would love to bits," Kayla started.

"Triple crap."

"Awwwwww, Skuleruski, don't get your hopes down, I ain't gonna torture ya.........."

"I'm so sure."

"All I'm a gonna do is make you swear allience with us and let you live under my bed, does that sound so bad?"

"DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Too bad, budday."

Kayla typed the message, and Skulker wimpered as he read, ""11:56, Swear allience with adorable, sweet, and wonderful children and move under Kayla's bed.' Okay okay, I, Skulker solemly promise not to hunt down these two rare halfas ever again........"

"And?"

"And I, Skulker, shall become a good guy and help them and thier sidekicks......."

"You're forgetting the most important part."

"..................and will live under Kayla's bed."

"Mooch baytter."

Sora and Danny were asleep and in human mode at this point.

"Hey guys! I made Skulker a good guy!"

"Wha....?"

"You've gotta be kiddin' me....."

"Nope."

Skulker winced. It was going to be a looooooooooong life.

If you've got questions about the title, remember that 'Industria' is Kayla's last name, and if you're wondering about her pronouciation, she basiclly talks like Norb from the Angry Beavers
