Author's Notes: I'm very glad that you readers think I'm reasonably good at writing. Regarding Sam and Danny's relationship, I'm sure that the words on everyone's lips are "will they get back together?" Well, only I (and a few people I know that have asked nicely) know the result of this. I hope that you are satisfied with it. More notes - Cujo is the dog that ruined Valerie's life in "Shades of Gray" in Danny Phantom for those who are wondering.

Knock, Knock. Knock Knock

Timmy rubs his eyes and rolls over out of his room. . "I'm a coming, I'm a coming" to the direction of the knocking sound. He looks blearily at the clock which seems to mock him with blinking red numbers that declare 6:00 am. He doesn't notice the empty fishbowl in his room, he's simply too exhausted to note anything.

Timmy pulls himself down the stairs and over to the door, hoping that whoever it is will go away. No such luck. He opens the door to a hideous creature that viewers will recognize as the Junk Man.

The Junk Man looks at a small pink slip of paper in his bulky hand. "Is this Timmy Turner?"

"AAAAAGGGGHHHH" Timmy's eyes bulge as it hits home.

"I take that as a yes." The Junk Man scoops him up with a large hand and dumps Timmy in a bag.

"Ew, this bag smells terrible"Timmy pokes a finger in the side of the bag.

"Oh, is it uncomfortable?" the Junk Man retorts. "Well, that's just dandy."

"You'll see" shouts Timmy. "Danny and Jimmy will get me out" He shifts and tries to make him drop the bag.

"Oh, these friends?" The Junk Man walks up to his ship not far away and empties the bag into a clear box. Inside is Danny, bound and gagged and Jimmy, with his hands tied.

"Timmy!" screeches Jimmy. "What.."

"MMUGH" grunts out Danny from under his gag.

"Want me...to take that off so you can speak coherently" Timmy questions carefully.

"YESH!" insists Danny. Timmy unties the cloth and discards it in the corner. "Well, that's better"

"What happened to you guys?" asks Jimmy

"I was walking down the street"Danny recalls" And all of a sudden, I saw my science teacher. I tried to sulk low so that he couldn't see me. But he aimed something gun-shaped at me, and then everything want black."

"You were walking down the street at 6 o'clock in the morning? Are you insane? Do you have a death wish?" Jimmy gives him a startled look. Danny gives him the death look and he drops it.

"Anyway.. Tell us your thrilling tale, o great Jimmy." Timmy retorts.

"I was in my lab,and there was a person that looked exactly like Sheen. He said that he left something in the lab from the party. I thought nothing of it, and just let him in. I turned back to my workstation and then I ended up here" Jimmy takes in a deep breath of air. "I should have known something was up. Sheen never wakes up early"

"Hmm"Danny seems lost in thought. "Why us though?"

"Well, to answer that, Mr. Fenton, We want you to give up something very powerful" A powerful-sounding voice booms through the ship. "And that thing..is" the voice fades from a powerful sound to a not so impressive human voice. "What the heck is wrong with this thing" There is a tapping sound on the microphone then a squeal of feedback.

The boys exchange a glance. "What is going on!" yells Jimmy in frustration.

"Oh, whatever." Crocker, Skulker and the Junk Man step out of the shadows. "We might not sound as good, but I can assure you that we can crush you to get what we want" Skulker says menacingly.

"You still haven't answered my question" states Danny . "I want to know what the heck is going on here!"

"You are a pesky little boy, aren't you" The Junk Man frowns at him "Anyway, we're here to torture you so we can get the secret of the land of the reality benders and enslave them so that we can take over the universe." He scowls. "Now do you get it?"

"I'm hyper and don't pay attention for longer than a second, can you repeat that?" Timmy gets a DUR look on his face.

The Junk Man groans. "I'm not doing this again. Can someone else do it?"

Crocker repeats it, albeit a lot grumpily. Timmy just stares at him blankly. "And we're going to stand for this...why?"

"Because you're our captives" Skulker explains slowly, like speaking to a small child.

"Why don't we make this a game?" Danny strokes his chin. "Winner gets to leave. Loser has to leave and never bother anyone again"

"Oh, that's too soft." Crocker pulls the curtain in the corner. "I knew you people were going to say that, so I prepared a plan"

Junk Man raises an eyebrow. "We took what means a lot to you." The space reveals Goddard, Cosmo and Wanda and..Cujo?"

"Oh, that's real low" Timmy punches the cage. "Taking our pets and/or friends?"

"Hey! Cujo's not my dog! He's a ghost dog who followed me around for a time" Danny protests strongly.

"Whatever" Mr. Crocker waves a dismissive hand. "So what shall it be? Let's imagine that I'm taking this seriously"

"A challenge to the brain." Jimmy states pretentiously.

"A fight challenge" Danny says firmly.

"A magic fight?" asks Timmy hopefully.

"No. Way." The Junk Man says, crossing his arms.

" No, Junk Man has a point." Mr Crocker folds his arms. "How about we just trap the three of you in a deadly setting, and.. well, see if you can survive. That was my original intent."

"That's cruel, isn't it? Treating us like animals to be viewed for entertainment" asks Jimmy carefully.

"That's the point..Duh" grumbles Skulker under his breath.

"Enjoy the last few hours of consciousness. They're going to be your last." cackles The Junk Man.

The room and cage go black, leaving nothing but an inky darkness. The boys are silent. "So, what's our next plan of action?" says Danny softly under his breath, breaking the silence.

"I don't know" Jimmy rubs his eyes and sighs a sigh of surrender. "For the first time in a long time, I don't know."

Well, this one was kinda short, but this one is a set up more than anything.
