Candeh- A little soon to be updating, don'cha think? I Well, I missed some reviews from my top reviewers. -double cough and smooth eye glance- But I'll go on to the next chapter. Thus, being the second to last chapter, I'll probably make this a longer chapter.

Oh, and no no, it's a okay. I don't care, calling people hun or little one is sort of a habit. But no, I don't mean "TUE" I meant "Identity Crisis".

Inumarule12: Hey. Yeah, I used to watch that show on Nick a couple years back. They don't even show re-runs anymore. I'd like to see it again and see why the hell it used to scare me so much. I remember not wanting to watch one about a haunted house. But I don't recall seeing one about anybody getting stuck in a board game. Pretty cool.
Chapter 9:
"DEATH?" Sam yanked her dark black hair fully out of her two eyes. She stepped closer to the grinning ghost, Walker, pleading. "What the hell do you mean by death?"
Walker kept his grin, ignoring the goth's plea. He rose himself higher from the air and pressed his face into her's with a grimace. It slowly morphed into a smile again, his white sad face, bright and happy. He pulled a thick white gloved hand up to his neck and in a quick motion he slid his fingers thickly across his neck. A slitting noise emerging from his throat as he was still breathing. "You want to know why?"
And the teenagers nodded, fleeing towards the unconscious teenager on the floor.
"Because," Walker continued, his face still pressed up towards Samantha Manson's, who huddled back quickly, shivering in her tank top and skirt. Her purple spandex and boots were doing no good, no help due to the hole cut in her knees. "It's the rules."
And he tilted his white face backwards making his eyes twinkle.
There was a sudden squeak from the back of the room. The dark brunette girl, laying flat on her back stood straight up, pushing her pink hair clip out from dangling in her eyes. Paulina pulled herself off her back and with a shaky sense of courage, she marched her way towards Walker, who snapped, making the court room and it's accessories disappear.
It had remained the teenagers and Walker floating in the green mists of the ghost zone.
Paulina bit her lip as she yanked a falling sleeve ack upward on her shoulder, "Danny Phantom will be here!" She said, her mad face twitching and scared.
Walker laughed again and yanked, from his back, a picture of the familiar ghost. "Danny Phantom." He read, "In here for possession of real world items possession, loitering, ect 'era. Escaped here the first time for...going against the rules."
Paulina snatched the picture from Walker's hands. She held tightly Danny Phantom's prison ID. Her lower lip stiffened, "He still got out of here."
"How?" Walker continued. And he turned his head around towards Danny.
There was a poof and around his ankles appeared glowing green handcuffs that phased to black. His hands were next, become bound together with handcuffs for the third time.
Walker snapped his hands again, sending a white jail cap falling downwards on his raven hair. His white and red tee-shirt changed into black and white stripes, along with his pants. Walker tatted, "Looking like a true prisoner." And he seemed pleased with himself.
He snapped his fingers together again and with a start, two blue eyes blinked open.
He moaned, rubbing his head throughly, as If he'd been hit really hard.
"What?" Danny Fenton stirred upwards, staring at his new clothes and the handcuffs around his wrists and ankles.
Walker grinned.
His white glowing skin glowing briskly in the green light of the ghost zone, the soles of his eyes widening.
"What's with these–" Danny started, but he was cut off again as the metal cuffs let off green glowing sparks. He winced and looked up, hurt, at theghost floating above him.
"Now," He said, his hands still behind his back, and he brought them closely up to his face, his hands both curled into a one big fist. "Tell us all who Danny Phantom is..."
Sam didn't move.
Danny wrapped both his hands around his stomach, his arms clutching his lower torso as he held, as hard as he could, the question back from exploding out of his lips.
Sam winced, she said any random things she could think of. "Tucker is!" She shouted, ignoring the looks from Tucker and the laughing from Walker across from her.
Nobody moved though, they had apparently not heard it, and Danny was still clenching his stomach wearily.
"Uhhh...um..."
"Okay!" Danny gave in, his raven hair flowing wearily over his eyes. "Okay I give."
And she saw a pinch of his stomach reddening from the curling of his belly.
"Ow." He moaned again before continuing. "Ow. Okay, okay. I'm Danny Phantom."
The other's turned their backs, backing away from Danny, who lay blankly on the floor. His blue eyes darting around wildy. He breathed quick breaths, loudly.
"Danny!" Sam yelled before Walker snapped his fingers and Danny passed out again.
Sam's POV:
Paulina fell to her knees, her face buried in her hands. She'd fallen the same time with me and hadn't said a word.
Tucker leaned against the mid air, his back resting on something that wasn't even there. I winced, watching him fall down towards his friend, shaking Danny wearily to wake him up, knowing it wouldn't help.
Valerie backed away, "No!" She yelped, her hands reaching angrily in her back pack as she withdrew an electoplasmic-gun. But Walker snapped and the gun diapered from her hands. "Prove it, ghost." She pointed directly at his face. But her pointing hand tiredly flew downward. She burst into tears beyond Paulina and her face remained buried in her hands.
Kwan sank down the opposite wall from Tucker.
Only Dash remained still.
Kwan looked up, his dark eyes locked on Walker, who felt no pain. His eyes darted towards Kwan, who looked pleading at him with tired eyes.
"How can you prove it?" He asked, becoming somebody different, not usually the first person to speak in a crowd.
For the last time, with a stiff laugh, Walker snapped his fingers and a glowing green circular video-like screen slid down in from of us.
"What do you need to see?" He asked
"Proof. Pretty simple." Kwan said, examining the screen in front of him. The others slowly raised their heads.
"Okay." Walker nodded, briskly and he nodded at the screen, which switched blank and then with a flash of green light, showed our school. "August 4, 2005." Walker continued, pointing towards the screen.
Kwan jumped scared out of his bench on the green lunch tables as an excited Dash Baxter leapt out form behind him.
"Jumpy?" Paulina suggested as she clashed her lunch tray loudly on he table, ignoring the looks of annoyance from the others around the cafeteria.
It had been that day...
The blue sky turned green from outside the window and there was a faint suggestion of it. "Look at the sky, Martha!" A senior in pink pointed towards the window.
"It's nothing..." The girl named Martha responded, shooing the brightly dressed girl out of her sight. But she had turned around when her friend had jumped high out of her seat.
"It's Danny Phantom!" She had yelped, pointing towards the ceiling of the cafeteria. And the infamous ghost turned at the mention of his name.
A couple people had left the room, fearing their lives.
Kwan looked at the sky, the ghost floating inches above his head. His eyes widened as he heard a scream from behind him, "DANNY PHANTOM, WATCH OUT!"
It was Paulina, pointing with a freshly manicured nail above Danny's head. And he was too late, as a thick green bolt of green light flew through the ceiling and knocked Danny Phantom behind the deserted cabinets in which the lunch ladies served their 'lunch'.
It knocked Danny Phantom out and the two familiar blue rings appeared directly around his waist, turning him back into Danny Phantom.'
The screen went blank.
Kwan blinked, "What the hell?"
"It's not what you think!" I yelped, jumping up from my spot. "Seriously. I mean, how you Danny get ghost powers?"
The screen flickered again as Walker's voice flickered like the green light through the room. "Want to see how?" And he smiled as he watched Paulina's nodding head she briskly looked up from the ground.
The screen showed a quick flicker of Danny entering the Ghost Zone. He swallowed hard as he zipped up the suit. I winced, watching myself trot up to him, yanking off Jack's face from the chest of the jumpsuit. Danny exited the portal passed out and bruised. His hair white as ice.
Paulina moaned again.
Dash looked up, his blond hair looking a bit darker in the light. "So..." And he didn't have to finish his question for Walker nodded as nodded to the screen as it flickered green again, showing another flashback:
Dash rummaged through his locker with a grim expression on hiss face. "Damn Fenton!" He moaned as he shut the metal locker hard in his friend's face. Kwan backed away, fearing the mad side of Dash.
"I'll freaking mess him up!" He continued, his hands grinding in his fists as his blue eyes darted around hopefully in search of Danny located somewhere in the school.
Kwan nodded in agreement, backing away as he caught briskly a book that fell from Dash's backpack. "I agree." He replied, wanting his friend to ignore him anyways.
"The hell you do!" He shouted, his face set on the hallways in front of him.
Kwan nodded again, his black hair flowing over his eyes as he dove in to grab another falling book from Dash's nap sack.
"There!" Dash pointed to the raven haired boy in front of him, "There's that son of a-"
And before he could continue, he sped of towards the raven haired boy who disappeared before his eyes without him even noticing it.
An invisible and giddy Danny laughed as he grabbed hold of Dash's back and phased into his body.
Dash's helpless body crashed into the metal lockers, sending his thick head flying backward with a wince of pain.
At the last row of lockers, the football player passed out as Danny phased out of him and reappeared in front of Dash.
A smile spread across his face as he became proud of himself.
But it quickly faded as he stared at the new bump forming fresh on the football stars head. Danny blinked before disappearing behind the corner of the lockers from Casper Highschool.
The screen went blank again.
Dash blinked before running full paced at a passed out Danny on the floor. "Why I outta..."
"Hey!" Tucker yelled, launching from off the wall and towards Danny, who had been lifted up by the shirt collar by Dash, who waved a fist directly above the teenager's head.
But Walker snapped as he went nodding towards two guards on either side of him. They briskly picked up Danny off of the floor.
"Get your hands off of him!" I yelled, pushing myself from the ground, but a large ghost held me back as they carried Danny out to a door that appeared from nowhere. There was a glass window in which Danny appeared behind.
His arms and legs were strapped to the electric chair.
It was Paulina's turn to get up. She lifted her dripping face from her hands and looked up at me. "Danny Fenton?" She cried, using his last name for emphases.
Walker nodded towards the screen. But, jumping up and grabbing my shirt collar, Paulina ignored the showing of the many times she'd ignored Danny.
"How...is that...possible?" Paulina said, launching her face into mine. "How the hell is that possible, Sam."
I shrugged, blinking out my own tears as I felt Tucker creep up from behind me.
Dash pounded hard on the glass, hoping with every ounce of his body that he could break it.
My eyes shifted to Kwan, who looked the least surprised. He blinked, staring up at the screen.
Valerie was still searching through her backpack as she snatched another gun. Her voice echoed from behind me. "LIAR!" She repeated, only for her weapon to disappear and send her back searching for another one.
Paulina's desperate face lay in mine and for once I felt like I had the power over her. "Tell me everything!" She pleaded with both Tucker and I. "I deserve to know."
"Excuse me?" I asked her, pushing her hands off my collar. "You of everybody deserve payback." And I pointed to the screen.
Danny looked at me, fearing something to happen in a blink of an eye. He tasseled his raven hair into his eyes and stared at mine with pleasingness. He stared at the hallways as Tucker smiled, pressing his face lightly into his, "3...2..."
"Hello boys!" The familiar voice echoed through the halls. Paulina waved selfishly to the love stuck boys hanging over their locker drawers.
She ignored the sexual comments and covered them up with a hard, quick snap of her wallet from her white velvet purse. (It had cost a lot of money, or so she'd stated later in fourth period that day)
A picture of Danny Phantom lay carefully in her wallet pocket. She waved it at the hungry teenagers as she made her way to her locker.
Heaving a tired sigh, she tore a pocket of tape from her backpack and pasted the new photo with the many others surrounding the locker walls. "So many boys, but only one you."
Danny stiffened, he'd heard that line many times before. "Ironically, it's more like two..." Tucker teased as she punched Danny lightly in the back.
"Ow."
Tucker lifted his hands in apologia. "Hey, man. It's just been like forever since you tried with Paulina again."
Danny rubbed the back of his neck, "Yea, yea. But last time she was a dragon and now maybe she'll be..."
"Herself?" I interrupted from nowhere. And Tucker laughed. "Go on!" I continued, waning to prove what Paulina could be like.
Danny sighed, "No way!"
I pushed him towards Paulina, who was leaning dreamingly on her locker door.
A stumbling Danny caught his balance on the door, accidently slamming it shut in her face. "Oh," he winced, "Sorry."
Paulina rolled her eyes.
"What do you want?" She asked, as if he bugged her everyday.
"Um..the upcoming school—"
"Dance?"
And he nodded.
"Not likely, Fenton." There was a noise from behind her. And Dash Baxter's shadow covered Danny's face.
He grabbed Paulina around the waist and huddled in the air like a prize trophy. "She already..."
"Agreed to go with Dash." She continued for him, "Not that it matters."
Dash put her down and looked at her, confused. "What do you mean?"
And Paulina laughed, "It's not like Danny Phantom goes to the school."
The sky became dark and Danny nervously smiled wide to cover it up before disappearing behind the corner. Paulina and Dash stayed put, staring at the window in which The Box Ghost floated behind.
Danny pressed his back tightly to the wall of his locker. His hand slid through the metal door of his locker, pulling out the Fenton Thermos.
He sighed, "I'm going Ghost!"
Two blue rings appeared at his waist and head. He was Danny Phantom in a second.
Danny Phantom appeared between the couple of Dash and Paulina. "Hey." Danny waved before he floated out the window.
Paulina blinked and then smiled, chasing Danny Phantom nervously behind the locker corners.
The screen blanked out for the third time.
Paulina dropped her hands and her mouth shut.
I closed my eyes, only hearing her collapse to the ground again and her tiny sobs.
Valerie was the only one standing. "THAT PROVES NOTHING!" She yelped, touching her wrist as the last gun pointed at Walker, making him laugh again. "Nothing."
And with a last snap of his fingers, Walker directed Valerie's attention to the blank screen, which flickered green and then played:
Valerie Gray chased hurriedly after Danny Phantom in the blue sky. She fired a ray gun at his head, only to send the beam directly into a tree. Danny ducked, and wiped away sweat from his face as he paused in front of her.
"Please." He said, ducking underneath a pink ray. "I need to get back to class."
He swallowed, knowing he'd said too much. "To school?" Valerie raised a brow.
"Yea..." Danny scuffed in the air, "Ghost...school?"
Valerie fired another pink colored ray gun at his torso, which he dodged.
"But listen," Danny continued, "Vlad...he needs to go back into the Ghost Zone! Can we like..." He dodged yet another ray and leaned closer to Valerie in her red jumpsuit. "Finish this some other time, Val?"
"Val?"
But, it had been lucky for Danny as a silver blue mist flew directly out of his mouth into the face of Valerie Gray. She blew it away with her own, not noticing Vlad Masters, on his way up from behind her...
"Watch out!" Danny cried, but Valerie had stayed put.
Valerie spun around, her face covered in the shadow of the ghost. Vlad snickered as he sent two red rays at the two teenagers. In the mist of it, Danny had managed to push them both out of the way, sending them into an oak tree by the school.
On impact, the two passed out. Danny woke up hours later and hurried Valerie home.
He'd broken his shoulder.
Valerie shook, her eyes darted towards Danny behind the glass. Dash had given up punching the glass and had sunk to the floor.
She shook her head repeating, "No."
Walker only laughed, "Now, everything cleared up?"
He watched us as we stayed frozen like statues; myself, leaning hard against Tucker's shoulder, who patted my back softly. It had been the first time I'd seen him emotional like this. Valerie stood, staring at the space where the screen stood, shaking her head back and forth. Her moth remained open. Dash had sunk next to Kwan by the glass, their bloody and puffy hands huddled in their own opposites to stop the bleeding. Paulina was on the ground still, her wet mascara face dripping off in her hands.
Walker made his way to the glass, peering in. He shook is head, pretending to show sympathy. "I told you," He mocked, "In my jail there would be order..." And he made and simple reach towards a shiny red button located on the wall.
Four green ghosts appeared around Danny, wrapping their hands tightly around his head, ankles, and stomach.
In a quick glance, Danny woke up.
Candeh- If you have any confusions, please review and IM me at xcandeh of late.
Remember, I won't update unless you review.
And lastly...
I hope that you enjoyed the chapter. There is only one more left, so I'm hoping you'll review your little hearts out. But let me clear some things out for you, eh?
- Nobody's memory will be erased. LOL.
- The red button activates the electric chair.
- Danny has been passed out the whole time until now.
And that's all I can think of. I hope you thought it was long enough. It's 10 pages put together. So...REVIEW!
