Chapter 4

Something's Not Right

Jazz was eyeing Timmy as Danny and Valerie began talking about ghosts. She let out a weary sigh and left the auditorium. "Wait a minute! You come from a family of Ghost Hunters...and she hunts ghosts? That is so--" Timmy began, a wide grin on his face.

"Lame," Chad interrupted him.

"Yeah. Ghost hunting is so yesterday. Besides, we don't even believe in ghosts," Tad added.

Valerie and Danny exchanged looks as a frown appeared on Timmy's face. "Oh, yeah? Well, you guys are so wrong!"

"Whoa, calm down Timmy!" Danny started, placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah...maybe we should go...I'll see you later, Danny!" Valerie called over her shoulder as she led Tad and Chad out of the auditorium.

Danny smiled, watching her leave. "She's so pretty when she's in a hurry..."

"Eh?" Timmy blinked a few times as he turned his gaze on Danny. "What was that?"

"Oh, nothing! Come on," Danny replied, quickly as he bgean leading the way back to his house.

"Something wrong, Sport?" Wanda asked as she and Cosmo reverted back to their fairy forms.

"Just...something's up with Danny."

Cosmo just stared at him. "What? He seems perfectly normal to me..."

Timmy shook his head. "How do you know? You two've never met him until now!"

"Well, neither have you!" Cosmo shot back, crossing his arms, defiantly.
Danny stopped in his tracks when he heard talking...and Timmy's voice. "Uh, Timmy? Who are you talking to?"

Timmy appeared nervous as Danny turned around, facing him. Timmy turned back to see if Cosmo and Wanda were still behind him, and sighed with relief when he noticed they had transformed back into their backpack strap forms. He turned back to Danny and put on the best innocent looking smile he could come up with. "Uh, no one! I was just talking to myself!"

"And you answer yourself? I could have sworn I heard two other voices..." Danny muttered, studying him.

"Uh...well, that just goes to show you how good I am at throwing my voice! I fooled you, huh?"

Danny raised an eyebrow at this and nodded. "Yeah, I guess you did..." he replied, still unsure. He shrugged, turned back and started walking again. "Come on..."

"Something's not adding right here..." Jimmy muttered as he began typing away at his laptop.

Cindy stood beside him, looking over his shoulder. "What's the matter, Neutron?" (Still using his last name, eh, Cindy?)

"It's just..." Jimmy stopped in mid-sentence and looked up at her, suddenly getting nervous. "Um...do you have to stand over me like that?"

Cindy rolled her eyes skyward and sat back down in her spot next to Libby. "Well? Are you gonna tell us?"

"Well, I was tracking down the remains of the potion, and it's giving me no results whatsoever. It's like the potion's contents just disappeared!"

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Libby asked, crossing her arms.

"I dunno...I'm gonna have to do some more work as soon as we arrive in Amity Park," Jimmy replied.

Cindy and Libby glanced at each other. This was going to be one long adventure...but at least they got out of school for it. Cindy shook her head, turning her gaze back to Jimmy. Why did he act so nervous around me? The only time he ever did that was last...Valentines Day... she thought, her eyes widening. Could it be...?
