Chapter 5: Effect
Back at the lab
Around noon
"Are you sure you're okay, Danny?"
"Guys, I'm fine." The group was back at the lab (except for Cindy and Libby, Jimmy wouldn't let them in). Danny was on a bed, and Jimmy was running tests on him. The glowing barf had confused him, and he was interested.
Of course, Sam and Tucker were nervous about the tests. If Jimmy pushed the wrong button, he could find out more than he needed to know. Still, they were concerned.
"Now," Jimmy said, "Everything seems fine-"
Phew, Sam thought.
"-But I'm picking up pieces of abnormal DNA. Tell me, does Danny live near a nuclear power plant or other source of radiation?"
"No," Danny said. "But…umm…my dad's a mad scientist. He sometimes tests experiments on me."
"A scientist?" Jimmy was excited now. "What does he study?"
"Ghosts. He's crazy."
"Ghosts?" Jimmy thought for a second. "Danny, you never mentioned your last name. What is it?"
"Fenton," Danny said. "Why?"
Jimmy's eyes grew wide. "Uhh…no reason. Anyway, I've finished the scans. Danny should be okay, as far as I know."
Cosmo looked at Jimmy. "Aren't you Fudgehead?" he said.
Ignoring that comment, Jimmy continued talking. "However, I found some, I should say...interesting things in your DNA that I would like to study. Could you stay for extended testing?"
Danny was about to say something, but Sam put a hand over his mouth and began talking very fast. "Nah, we really have to get going, Danny has stuff to do, and…uhh…stuff. Ehh heh! Huh?" She was trying her hardest to keep a straight face. Her eye twitched.
Jimmy smirked. "I'm really sure I should. I- Danny, do you usually twitch like that?"
"Huh?"

Danny was twitching, and very violently. He clutched his head, and started moaning. He fell down, and started rolling around, still clutching his head.
"Danny?" Tucker said. "Is something wrong?"
"Whaddya think?!" he moaned. "I'm dying here!" He rolled around for another minute or two, then relaxed. He staggered to his feet, and looked his friends in the eyes.
He was breathing hard. "I…uhh…gotta go." He ran out of the lab.
"Danny!" Sam ran after him.
"Sam, I…" Danny paused. He went ghost, turned invisible, and slipped away.
Sam looked at the spot where he had just been. "Huh?"

9:00 pm
"Danny? DANNY!"
"Sam, it's late! We'll find him in the morning." Ever since Danny had disappeared, the gang had been searching for him. But even after eight hours, there was no luck.
"But…oh, fine." She turned off her flashlight and went into the lab.
"Well," Jimmy said, "Our search wasn't fruitful this time, but he will be found. Sleep tight!" He activated lockdown, and left.
"Like we're going to do that," Tucker mumbled.
Help opened herself. "Too much has happened today. A good night's sleep will help us concentrate." She closed again.
Timmy sat in bed, but he wasn't asleep. "Wanda, is he going to be okay?" he sighed.
"I don't know," Wanda said. "There has to be a reason that he left."
Sam was trying to sleep. "Don't worry," she said. "He's a smart guy, and half-ghost. He'll survive." She closed her eyes.
"I hope…"
Bye! -SP
