Hi, people! How is everything going? It's been going alright for me, I suppose. There was only a wait this time because of the scarce amount of reviews. But thanks to those who did!

Chapter 12 is now here! I don't own Danny Phantom or The Day After Tomorrow.

The falling snow wasn't as hard as in Scotland, but in the heart of Manhattan, it was now getting so cold, the water from the tidal wave that had engulfed the city was now freezing over.

Inside the library, most of the people were asleep. Tucker, however, was taking this time to fix his PDA. It had taken a lot of damage from falling in the water.

Tucker had a screwdriver as he tried to fix it. The police officer who had helped the French woman walked over to him. He asked, "Do you want a little help with that?"

Tucker answered, "Excuse me, sir, but I own four PDA's, one computer, and I've gotten an A+ in computer class since I was nine. Now if there's a bigger techno-geek in here, then please point him out for me."

Danny, who was still awake though his eyes were closed, smiled at his best friend's remark.

The officer said to him, "I'll just let you work on it, then." Then he walked away.

A few minutes later, someone started running into the room. He pointed outside, "Hey, look out there. There are people out there. I saw them while I went for a walk. There are hundreds of them! They're all walking on the snow!"

A bunch of people stood up in astonishment and walked up to the windows on top of the high book shelves. They saw it was true. Hundreds of people were walking across the snow.

From the crowd, Dash asked, "Where are those guys going?"

Another person answered, "They're getting out of the city before it's too late."

The officer was at the window watching everyone. He nodded, and then turned around towards everyone else. He yelled over the commotion, "Alright, everybody! Quiet down! When was the last time anyone got a signal on their cellphones?"

From the crowd, a woman answered, "I was able to reach my sister in Charlotte about half an hour ago. They're being evacuated to the south."

"We should probably get moving too. The water's frozen over enough to walk on. We should get going before the snow gets too deep!"

Everyone started moving around as the officer said, "Everyone wrap yourselves up warmly as fast as you can! We're leaving in five minutes!"

Danny said to his friends, "Guys, we shouldn't go."

Tucker asked him, "Why not, Danny? Everyone's leaving now."

"When I talked to my Uncle Fredrick, he told us to stay inside. The storm will kill anybody caught in it."

Sam said to him, "Then you have to say something."

"I know." Then Danny walked over to the officer, who was now standing at the exit helping a child bundle up.

He said to the officer, "Um, sir, you're making a mistake."

"What?" said the officer, "Listen, kid, everyone's scared here, but we don't have a choice."

"No, that's not it. Listen."

"Bundle up and get ready to go."

"If anyone goes outside, they will freeze to death!"

There was silence as everyone stopped walking.

The officer got up and asked Danny, "Okay, kid, what is this baloney?"

"Sir, trust me, it is not baloney. Now look, this storm is only going to get worse. And the people who are outside, they will all freeze to death."

Lancer asked him, "Mr. Fenton, where are you getting this information from?"

"My uncle's a climatologist. He works for the government."

"So what do you think we should do?"

"We just stay inside, we keep warm, and wait until it's over."

The officer said to him, "Young man, the snow is getting deeper by the minute. We'd be trapped here without food or supplies, we'd all starve."

Danny answered, "Listen, I know it's a risk. But…"

"It's an unnecessary risk, that's what it is. We've already wasted too much time discussing this. Come on, everybody. Let's go."

Some people started moving a little, while Danny put up his arms and said, "Look, look, look, everyone just look for a second."

"Come on, everybody," said the officer, ignoring him, "Let's get moving."

Most people started to leave while Danny tried desperately to stop them, "Guys, one second! The storm is going to get bad! Really bad! No one's going to be able to survive it!"

But only a few people listened as everyone else walked past Danny toward the exit, while Danny still tried to stop them, "Please, guys, just stay. Please don't…" His voice trailed off as he saw no one seemed to believe him.

As everyone departed from the library, Danny walked to the exit to watch. The officer saw everyone off and then turned to Danny. Danny sighed and walked away.

The few who had stayed were Danny, Tucker, Sam, Lancer, Paulina, Valerie, the librarian, and a couple others.

Maddie and Jazz looked at Jack and Fredrick as they were just about ready to leave. It was an uneasy moment, as the four of them weren't sure whether or not they'd see each other again.

Fredrick said to Maddie and Jazz, "It'll be impossible to reach either of us over the phone. Just leave a message for us at the American embassy in Mexico City."

Maddie nodded, "We will."

Jack hugged Jazz, and then Maddie, saying, "I love the both of you."

Maddie answered, "So do we, Jack. And you too, Fredrick. And tell Danny we love him so much. God be with both of you."

Fredrick handed Maddie a pair of keys. He said, "Head south in my car. Jack convinced me that his Fenton RV would have a better chance in this weather."

"Okay," said Maddie.

Jazz asked them, "Are you sure you'll both be okay?"

Jack answered, "Don't you worry, princess. We'll be up to New York and get Danny faster than you can say, 'Ghost.'"

"Good luck," said Maddie and Jazz.

Maddie and Jazz watched as Jack and Fredrick turned around and walked outside, where it was snowing and the Fenton RV was parked in the parking lot.

Fredrick and Jack pushed a cart out to the Fenton RV. They started to load stuff into the back when someone else started to help them. It was Mark. "I got it," he said.

Fredrick asked him, "Aren't you supposed to be heading south on a bus?"

"Hey, I've watching your back for the last twenty years. I ain't gonna let you go to New York with your goofball brother."

Jack asked him, "Who are you calling a goofball?"

Fredrick chuckled and said to Mark, "And to think all these years I was sure I was watching your back."

"Where are the keys?"

Jack held them up, "Got 'em right here."

Jack and Mark started inside the RV when someone else also started putting stuff in the back. It was Steve.

"Where do you think you're going?" asked Fredrick.

"Let's be honest, Fredrick. None of the three of you can navigate worth a dollar or so. If I ain't going with you, you'll end up in Cincinnati watching the Reds."

"Sporting events have been cancelled. Thanks." Steve smiled at Fredrick's remark and then got into the RV as well.

Brittany walked up to Fredrick and said, "I'll try my best to give you updates on the storm as it heads your way. Good luck, Fredrick."

Fredrick nodded with a smile and then got into the RV. Jack, knowing the urgency of the situation, drove carefully with Fredrick riding shotgun. Mark and Steve rode in the back.

The four of them drove away from the NOAA and began their journey north to Manhattan.

Hours later, farther south, CBS (that's right, not FOX) was reporting at the Mexican border.

A woman was saying, "Just half an hour ago, Mexican officials closed the border in the line of so many U.S. refugees who were fleeing to the south to escape the approaching storm."

Cars were lined up to the border and now a bunch of people were walking between the cars towards the border, but the officials held them back.

The woman went on, "The people here assumed crossing the border, but instead they have been met with closed gates." Some people were offering money to the officials in exchange for letting them through.

Down by the river, a man started reporting, "And now, in a dramatic and illegal reversal, thousands of people are crossing the Rio Grande into Mexico."

This was true, as a bunch of people were crossing the Rio Grande River.

"The scene unfolding behind me is indeed one of desperation and frustration as you see people abandoning their cars, grabbing whatever belongings they can carry, and wading across the river illegally into Mexico."

It was clear that the people were getting desperate as the storm up north continued to get worse…

That was a longer chapter, wasn't it? I know it still wasn't too long, but it doesn't matter. Well, Jack and Fredrick, accompanied with Mark and Steve, are beginning their journey north to rescue Danny. Oh, and sorry for all you Paulina haters for me having her stay alive in the library. But you'll see why I did soon. Also I didn't think it would be realistic for Dash to listen to Danny and stay as well. R/R!
