Riverfox237: That's strange. Question: were those two quotes the only ones you used? And why is there a parent block on your profile? GRRR. I can't click on your name. I can't email anyone either. My dad would flip, and then ban me from the Internet for a while.

Never Listening: Hi. Thank for the review!

To anyone who is reading and not reviewing, sorry this took so long: School and stuff. And sorry that it's so short, but I don't usually write long chapters.

Chapter 1

Sam opened her eyes. Beady eyes stared back.

"Ahh!" she shrieked, as the odd looking rat ran off into a nearby bush. Sam blinked. She was lying in the dirt. She got up and dusted herself off.

'Where am I?' she wondered. She saw that Danny was lying on the ground too, in his human body again. Tucker was there a few feet away, drooling no less. 'Where are we?' she corrected herself.

She looked around. This had to be the ghost zone, hadn't it? They had gone through the portal. But it wasn't like any part of the ghost zone she had seen before. Tall, almost rain forest-like trees surrounded them like bars of a cage. Their large leaves blocked out the sky. That wasn't the weird part. The weird part was that everything within sight was normal colored, and that the sun shined through an open patch.

She shoved Tucker in the shoulder.

"Ow!" he said. "What was that for?"

"Is there a sun in the Ghost zone?"

"I don't think so." He blinked, "Where are we?"

"No idea. Come on, I need your help waking up Danny."

She helped him up and the two advanced on Danny's unconscious form. They woke him up with a series of ghost-like noises.

Danny looked up, half awake, "Doesn't anyone say 'wake up' anymore?"

"Would you have woken up?"

"No."

Sam and Tucker helped Danny stand. He bent down, picked up his empty backpack, and put it on his back.

"Where are we?"

"Ghost Zone, I think." Said Sam unsurely, "What does your PDA say, Tuck?"

Tucker whipped out his PDA. He pushed the ON button. Then he did it again; and another time, more frantically.

"No!" Tucker cryed as he fell to his knees. "It won't work!"

"What if we just try flying out of here?" wondered Danny.

"Works for me." Sighed Sam.

"My baby!"

Danny rolled his eyes as he lifted his arms. The familiar halo of blue light appeared around his waist. Then it flicked off like bad reception. Confused, Danny tried again.

"Great, I can't go ghost."

"Perfect." Sam said sarcastically.

"Yes, isn't it?"

Zelda pushed some leaves out of her way and came into view.

Danny looked left and right. Nothing! He couldn't protect himself, or his friends. One choice.

"Run!"

And they ran.

Though she usually enjoyed the chase, Zelda walked in the opposite direction. The kids didn't know this. They continued to run. Danny tripped into a ditch.

"Is she even chasing us?" he wondered. Sam and Tucker were watching him oddly.

"What?"

"Do you know what you're sitting on?"

"A scorpion!" screamed Danny as he got up.

"No." Sam pointed to the "ditch" he had fallen in. It wasn't a ditch, however, but a large three-toed footprint; or rather, a talon-print.

"Looks like a dragon has been here." Panted Danny.

They continued walking in silence. Danny parted some large leaves and passed through them. Sam and Tucker followed. Once through, they stood next to Danny, watching out on what looked like treeless grassland. Everyone's expression was the same: confusion and shock.

There were a couple of things wrong with this picture. One, the sun was there, bright and extremely hot. Two, the sky was blue. Three, the grassland was the correct color, instead of the blue or purple glow everything in the Ghost Zone seemed to acquire. And four, there were large creatures with three horns on their faces, elephant legs, and stubby but swishing tails.

A herd of Triceratops stood some hundred yards away, as alive as Danny was.
