Hi! This is sort of a transitional chapter, and I stink at those...
Rachel Ember: It's the ghost from the Prolouge of Book 1. She'll have a bigger part in Book 6. And that's all i'm saying...you can't threaten me...
Purple Ghost Sausage: Thanks!

Chapter 3: Reunited
"Wake up, Danny! Wake up, Danny!" Timmy was bouncing on Danny, trying to wake him up.
"Timmy, I'm awake. You can stop jumping on me now." Danny sat up, nearly knocking Timmy off him. He was still in Jimmy's lab. It was 7:00 in the morning.
In the nearby foldouts, Sam and Tucker were coming to. Sam was well-rested (even though she had fallen asleep with Da Rules still in her arms), but Tucker, no pun intended, looked like he had seen a ghost.
"Dude…" Danny said, "Is anything wrong?"
"No. Just some weird dreams. What now?"
That question was answered immediately. "Lockdown deactivated," a voice said, and Jimmy walked in.
"Hi guys," Jimmy said. "How're you doing?"
"Can't complain," Danny said. "Now…about those questions. Why are we here, who is the ringleader behind this, why have we been chosen, and why does your hair look so stupid?"
Jimmy ignored all the questions- except the last one. "My hair does not look stupid! Anyway, school got out two days ago, so I have all the free time in the world- and so do you. Now- do you want to stay hidden, or do you want to come around with me?"
"Uhh…whatever. We need some air." So, Danny, Sam, Tuck, Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda, and the disk containing Help followed Jimmy outside.
To Danny, outside looked as strange as the inside, only more so. It was as three-dimensional, and had more detail than Danny's universe. "Wow," he said to himself.
"You're saying 'wow' now, but you haven't lived till you've gone to the Candy Bar," Jimmy said. "It's the best hangout in town. C'mon."
"He's right," Timmy said. "I went there once with a girl…they've got great stuff, especially the Purple Flurp! It's the best you've ever tasted!"
"Uhh…" Sam said, "What's Purple Flurp?"

One block away, Cindy and Libby were…debating.
"But…Everyone knows that the camcorder wasn't invented until 1990 at least!" Libby groaned.
"Well, how could it have been if movies were being made for at least 100 years before that?" Cindy retorted. "I-hey, who are those people?"
The two girls spun around. Walking their way was a group of people. One of them, of all luck, was Nerdtron, the smartest and nerdiest boy in town. There were three others at least two feet taller than him. One had black hair and blue eyes, one had purple eyes and goth-style clothes, and one had dark skin and a weird hat.
But it was the one in front- a shorter one- that caught Cindy's attention. His pink hat… his oddly cute buckteeth … his dreamy blue eyes…and the brain she thought was smart. It was…
"Timmy!" Cindy shouted, dropping all other thoughts. "You've come back! All the days of praying have paid off!" She wrapped her arms around him.
"Ehh…Hi, Cindy…nice to see you…Danny, Sam, Tuck, (he didn't want to introduce Cosmo and Wanda, for fear of exposing his stupidity) I want you to meet Cindy. She's the coolest girl in the whole of…anything!"
"Thank you, Tim," Cindy said. "So, you're new to Retroville?"
"Actually, we're just visiting," Danny said. "We'll be leaving in a week, or maybe sooner. Jimmy here was just telling us about the Candy Bar. He says it's this great place."
"Great doesn't even begin to describe it!" Libby said.
"Yeah! You'll just have to see. And you'll meet everyone. Everyone cool goes to the Candy Bar."
"Whatever," Sam mumbled. The little (big) party then continued on to the Candy Bar…
Bye! -SP
