Summer Home
Chapter Two:- The Ride There
Danny rolled his eyes as he saw his dad run down the driveway yelling at him. Tucker and Sam just laughed.
"That's my dad for you." Danny said smiling a little too as he turned the corner.
"Yeah well, my parents were saying the same kind of things." Sam said then started mimicking them. "Don't do this. Don't do that. Don't go near boys."
"Hmmm. My parents didn't say anything about me." Tucker told them. Danny and Sam looked at him for a moment. "It must be that I'm that mature."
"I have no comment." Sam said then looked back out the window.
"Yeah. I'm with her." Then turned his attention back to the road.
"Of course your with her. You like her, you have to take her side." Tucker teased.
"Hey!" Danny gave him a quick shove. Tucker shoved him back causing Danny to swirve onto the other side of the road. They saw a truck coming right at them. They heard Tucker scream like a girl as Danny turned the car intangible. "Tucker relax." He said once they got through the truck onto the right side of the road.
"You two play nice from now on." Sam said trying to calm her heart rate down. "Thank god no one else saw that."
"Yeah no kidding." Danny said trying to now focus on the road. "Everyone okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine." Sam told him then looked over at Tucker. "Uhh... I don't think he is though." Danny took a quick glance at Tucker to see him wide eyed, holding onto the arm rests very tight.
"Tucker?" He tried to snap him out of whatever transe like thing he was in. "Sam, a little help here." She unbuckled her seatbelt and got right next to Tucker.
"TUCKER!" She yelled into his ear.
"Ow! What was that for?" He yelled rubbing his ear.
"Had to get your attention somehow." She shrugged then sat back down. Danny just laughed a little.
The drove awhile with Sam looking out the window trying to drown out Tucker's singing voice with her own thoughts, Danny just driving and Tucker...well...singing.
"Okay on the ride home I sit up front and you sit in back." Sam said to Tucker.
"Why?" Danny asked a little confused himself.
"That way I can pick the music." Danny flashed her a smile in the rearview mirror. She smiled back at him but he broke the gaze to pay attention to the road.
"This is gonna take us forever!" Tucker complained. "Can't you fly us there or something?"
"The car too?" Danny questioned him and Tucker just nodded. "Do you know how heavy that would be even when intangible?" He shook his head at Tucker.
"At least go intangible and drive us through the rest of these cars."
"The less you complain, the faster we'll get there." Sam suggested
"How does that happen?"
"I don't know. It's how time works. If you really want to know, go ask Clockwork." Tucker was quiet for a minute then started complaining again. "Ahhh!" She yelled. "Shut up you nerd!" Danny chuckled a little.
"Hey!" Tucker turned around to face her. "I'm a techno geek not a nerd." He then turned back to face the front agian.
"Nerd." She said a little quieter this time. Tucker was about to say something and turn around again when Danny inturupted.
"Okay now you two play nice." He stopped the car at a stop light then he turned to smile at them when his eyes met with Sam's.
"Danny." Tucker said trying to get his friend's attention after awhile.
"Huh? What?" He broke his stare.
"Green light dude." He pointed toward the stop light.
"Oh." Danny continued to drive while Sam tried to hide her smile and blush from the boys.
"Hey Danny, do you think Amity will be okay without you?" Tucker asked.
"We checked to make sure everyone was in the ghost zone before we left." Danny said with no worry in his voice.
"Besides, if Amity can't last one week without him," Sam added. "I think they need more help."
"True." Tucker agreed. "But you know our town."
"I think they'll be fine for one week." Danny said. "Now lets stop talking about ghosts for now." Just as he finished that sentence, his ghost sense went off.
"Irony." Tucker told him.
"It sucks don't it?" Sam teased a little as Danny pulled over and hid in the bushes to go ghost. Sam got out of the car to see what was going to happen. "I don't see anything. Do you?"
"Nothing." Danny said coming out in his ghost form. "But there's gotta be a ghost here somewhere."
"I'll get the thermos out of my bag just in case." Tucker said pulling out his suitcase from the back of the car. He opened it out and out came...
"I am the box ghost!" He yelled. Everyone just rolled their eyes.
"Oh c'mon!" Danny complained. "Does the word vacation mean nothing to you ghosts!" He turned human again. "Tucker would you like to?"
"Sure." He aimed the thermos and shot the ray at the Box Ghost.
"You cannot contain me in your cylinder like container for long!" He yelled.
"He says that every time." Sam shook her head and slid back into the car.
"Yeah its getting old after 3 years." Danny said getting back into the car as well.
"It was old after 3 hours." Tucker said following the rest of them into the car.
The rest of the ride was just like a simple ride to the mall or something. Casual talk about school, ghosts, and the topic that made Sam want to kill someone, Paulina or worse, the new girl popular girl in school. Name of Vixen. Well okay her real name was Vivian but meant the same thing to Sam.
Sam changed the topic from the popular girls to anything else very quickly.
"Why don't you like talking about them?" Danny asked her.
"Because they're stuck up and rude. Especialy the new girl."
"Yeah but she's hot." Tucker smiled at Danny as he nodded in agreement.
"Oh please." Sam groaned and leaned her head on the window. "Are we almost there?"
"Now who's complaining?" Tucker teased her.
"I wasn't complaining, I was asking."
"We're here so both of you, chill." Danny told them pulling into the driveway.
