Danny woke up the next day by the sounds of his parents yelling.

"Ghosts! I knew it. They must have taken Jazz!" yelled Jack Fenton.

Jazz is still missing? wondered Danny. He got out of bed, got dressed, and went downstairs.

"Hey, mom, dad. Is - is Jazz still missing?" asked Danny.

"Ghosts kidnaped her!" answered Jack. Danny sighed. They were never going to find Jazz this way.

Danny skipped breakfast again. He was not very hungry. As he walked toward his school, Tucker ran up to him.

"Danny!"

"Hey, Tuck," greeted Danny.

"Listen, Danny. Sam is going crazy! You should make up with her,"

"I'm not making up with her until she apologizes!" yelled Danny stubbornly. Tuck sighed.

"Listen, Danny. Sam likes you. I know it. She feels miserable knowing your mad at her," said Tucker wisely. Danny thought about that. Should he forgive Sam? But Sam should apologize to Katelyn!

"But, Tucker! Sam is the one who should apologize to Katelyn!" said Danny.

"Katelyn, Katelyn, Katelyn. That's all you ever think about now," said Tucker.

"That - that's not true," Tucker opened his mouth to say something, but the sound of the bell ringing cut him off.

"C'mon. Lets go to class," he said.

Danny went to get his book from his locker. He swung it shut and turned around. There he saw his worse nightmare: A guy from the football team had his hand flat on the wall and his arm straight. He was talking to Katelyn, who was under his arm. And he looked like he was flirting!

Danny shut his eyes. He felt like someone had stabbed him in the heart. With his eyes threatening to water, Danny ran away. He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't care. He just needed to get away.

Danny stopped in an empty hallway. No one ever used this corridor, only the janitor. And that was at night. There were dozens of doors that each held a bunch of cleaning products. Danny slumped down on the floor. He felt his energy drain away. He didn't want to be alone, but he didn't want to be with anyone either. Suddenly, an evil laugh filled Danny's ears. He opened his eyes. There stood Vlad, looking as evil as usual - and maybe a little extra.

"Aahh, nothing blinds teenagers more then their hormones," Danny stood up.

"What are you doing here?" asked Danny.

"Just dropping in to give you some news about your sister," said Vlad, a smirk playing on his lips.

"Where is Jazz?" asked Danny, his voice rising.

"Where do you think?" said Vlad. Danny narrowed his eyes.

"You took her!" he yelled. And without waiting for a reply, Danny transformed.

"Going ghost!" he yelled. A silver ring formed around him and turned him into a ghost. He stared at Vlad, hating him so much no one could describe it.

"Oh, no! The scary eyes!" mocked Vlad. Danny roared and lunged at Vlad. He put all his weight into knocking him down. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough.

"Hah! I'm sure a monkey could do better then that!" said Vlad, flying into the air before he touched the ground. "Your sister is being held captive, and she was very useful to use. I thank you," Vlad laughed maniacally, then disappeared.

"Oh, no! Jazz!"

Danny ran into the cafeteria, looking for Katelyn. He scanned the tables, but did not find her. Danny was forcefully reminded of that morning, but he shook it off. Right now, he needed to find his sister. Danny looked one more time, but no luck. The only person who could help him was Sam. Danny sighed and walked over to her.

"Uh, hi Sam," said Danny with forced cheeriness. Sam didn't answer. She was staring at her garden salad, acting as though she didn't hear Danny.

"Sam?" he said more time. She didn't say anything. Danny knew this wasn't going anywhere. He sighed and turned around. Suddenly, Sam grabbed him and turned him around

"Sam? Wha - " Sam grabbed Danny and planted a huge kiss on his lips. Before Danny could react, she turned and ran away. Danny was frozen to the spot. Sam? His best friend since kindergarden kissing him? Danny felt like worms were crawling inside his belly. But he had to deal with this later. Right now, he had to find Jazz and save her.

Danny ran back inside and took his thermos out of his locker. If Vlad was holding her captive, then it must be in the ghost zone. Danny needed to get to the ghost zone. He needed it. Suddenly, a beam of light shot from the thermos and created - a portal!

Danny went ghost and jumped inside. The portal disappeared behind him. Danny was lead into the ghost zone (dun, dun!). He heard screaming up ahead. Danny flew toward the sounds, afraid about what he might find.
