Next chapter! Out of curiosity, what's that whole "Sam's POV" thing mean? It seems to be associated with D/S dating, or Sam telling Danny she likes him, but I can't quite figure it out.

Thanks so much Lightning and Ember for reviewing, by the way. You made my day :)

Anyway, next chapter!

-------------------------------------------------

It was late that night in the Fenton home. Everyone was sleeping. In the lab, it was completely dark except for a faint glow coming from the Ghost Portal.

A ghost came out of it suddenly. He floated around the lab, and a particular invention caught his eye.

"Danny Phantom may be a good fighter, and he may be part human, but that doesn't mean that he's not part ghost. His parents' machines will work just as well on him than on any other ghost." The ghost laughed and phased through the wall out into the night.

----

Sam sighed. "For once, this is a completely ghost-free day."

"Yeah," Tucker said. "It's nice taking a break and acting like normal 9th graders again."

"Don't be too sure," Danny said. A blue wisp of smoke came out of his mouth.

"Oh, come on," Sam said, but she followed Danny, now in his ghost form, into the park, where he sensed the ghost was coming from.

It was almost night. Danny looked around the dark place, but he couldn't see any ghosts. He sighed. "Maybe you're right about that, Sam," he said, "my senses are messed up. Let's go. There's nothing here for me to do."

"Oh, don't be so sure," Tucker said in a voice that didn't sound like his own; it was full of evil.

"What? Tucker? What do you mean?" Danny's eyes filled with horror as he saw what Tucker was doing. "NO!"

Tucker had pulled out the thermos. He opened it, and a blue light came from it, engulfing Danny. He felt himself being pulled inside the thermos. He desperately tried to fight it, but it was no use. "TUCKER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he screamed before he was sucked inside the thermos.

"Bye, bye, Danny," Tucker said.

"TUCKER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! YOU JUST SUCKED DANNY INSIDE THE THERMOS!" Sam screamed, trying to grab the Thermos away from him. But Tucker wouldn't let go.

-----

The inside of the thermos was very different than what Danny had imagined. The walls were glowing ghost-green, and he seemed to uncontrollably drift all around the thermos. He screamed for Sam and Tucker, trying to phase through the walls of it. No luck.

He was about to give up when he remembered he was half human.

"This'll get me out of here," he said to himself. He then turned into his human form – or at least tried to. For some reason, it wouldn't work.

"I'm doomed," Danny said.

-----

"I've got Danny Phantom. He'll be such a great addition to my collection," Tucker said, laughing. "I am master of all things rare and unusual! MUAHAHAHAHAHA! I WILL HAVE THE RARE HALFA!"

"SKULKER?!" Sam said, realizing that it wasn't Tucker that did that; Skulker was overshadowing him. "GET OUT OF TUCKER!"

"I'm not Skulker. I am the mighty VECLUSSIER, Skulker's most TRUSTED HELPER!"

"WELL, WHOEVER YOU ARE, GET OUT OF THERE!" Sam yelled, tackling Tucker, trying to grab the Thermos. Or at least push the Release button. She rolled on top of him, the thermos a couple inches away from her outstretched finger. But he jerked the thermos away.

"YOU ARE INFERING WITH MY MISSION!" Tucker grabbed Sam and threw her against a tree, where she lay there, unconscious. He started to run towards Danny's house, holding the Thermos tightly.

"STOP RIGHT THERE!"

Tucker turned to see who had spoken. Charlotte stood in front of Tucker, shouting, "NO! You won't, Tucker!"

"What did I do?" Tucker said, trying to act innocent.

"DON'T PULL THAT ONE ON ME! I know what happened, I saw the whole thing. HOW COULD YOU BETRAY YOUR BEST FRIEND LIKE THAT?!" Charlotte seethed with fury.

"THE HALFA IS MINE!" Tucker snarled.

"Oh, it's YOU," Charlotte said. "I thought for a second that Danny's best friend betrayed him. Well, this might be easy."

Charlotte went ghost. Her eyes were a furious green, and black hair fell around her face. She was the same ghost that had helped Danny Phantom so many times – the arch enemy of Veclussier.

She overshadowed Tucker.

"YOU WILL NOT STOP ME!" the Tucker-Veclussier said.

"WHO SAYS SO?!" the Tucker-Charlotte screamed.

She tried hard to push the release button. Veclussier fought not to, but with her last bit of strength, she pushed the release button. Danny shot out and hit a tree, slid into the grass, and lay there, dazed for a moment.

"I'll get you later," Veclussier said softly as he left Tucker and flew into the night sky.

Danny opened his eyes. "Wh-what happened?" he said, dazed.

"Oh, Danny, well…that ghost, Veclussier, overshadowed me or something – I couldn't control it --" Charlotte said, still in Tucker's body.

"Are you sure you're okay now?" Danny said. Tucker's voice sounded different – much higher somehow.

"Oh, yeah," Charlotte said. Then she left his body, stopping to smile at Danny Phantom (not that he could see her) before disappearing into the sky.

Tucker now was fully awake…and fully himself. "Wh-what the heck?" Tucker said, looking around in confusion.

"I don't know," Danny said, as a blue wisp of smoke came from his mouth. "There's something funny going on…"

-------------------------------------------------------

I promise you Charlotte's not just a halfa. Well, she is part ghost/part human, but she's different. I can't tell you how, you'll have to read on….
