Chapter 5

They continued reading or playing until they finally got there. They were extremely tired from the long car trip and really just wanted to check into their hotel. The surprise is that tuckers parent could afford a five star hotel! Danny was amazed and shocked at the same time.

"You two boys can go down the road and explore the shops if you want. I hear there is an arcade. Tucker, your father and I need a rest and you two make a lot of noise so either go down the road or have a rest as well." Panted Mrs. Foley.

"Sure thing. I want to check out that arcade." Screamed tucker

"Me too!" squealed Danny.

They two boys quickly walked out of the building and headed to the nearby shops. They really wanted to explore but they didn't have too much time. It was already three in the afternoon and they knew they had to be back by five for dinner.

"How much money do you have tuck?" asked Danny, looking at his money.

" Uh… I think I have two hundred dollars to buy stuff with. What about you?" muttered tucker.

"Two hundred." Groaned Danny.

Suddenly the sky grew grey and dark. It wasn't because of the weather. No it was because of a ghost. Danny suddenly saw his breath.

"Oh no. not a working vacation." Groaned Danny.

He ran behind a tree that was close by. He made sure no one was around and held his arms up.

"IM GOING GHOST!" he shouted flying into the air.

"Tuck, have you seen anything?" asked Danny, quietly.

"Nope, but if you fly me around, it might be easier to find the ghost." Babbled tucker.

"Fine." Complained Danny, giving in.

Danny held on tight to tucker with two hands and flew him up over the arcade. Outside kids were looking at them and pointing in the sky. Obviously people weren't used to seeing ghosts, because they weren't running or screaming. Otherwise the ghosts in the town weren't evil.

Something powerful hit Danny in the back and he fell crashing down, turning over so he wouldn't hurt tucker. Danny looked up, kids were screaming, teenagers gathering around him and adults trying to find their kids.

"Stay here tuck." Warned Danny.

"Ok what ever you say Danny!" screamed tucker.

"Danny? Who? What is he? And how do you know him?" asked a New York girl, about the same age as tucker.

" That's Danny Phantom, ghost kid. We come from Amity Park where there are a lot of ghosts. He is a friend of mine. He is here to stop ghosts and evil. He is a good ghost." Tucker admitted, proudly.

"Ghost? Oh my god GHOST AHHH!" all the kids started screaming and running off.

Tucker got up and brushed himself down. He couldn't see Danny anywhere. He decided that it would be best if he went undercover. Tucker raced over to the veranda in front of the arcade.

Danny had flown back up to where he was standing when he got hit. He looked around and could see anything. Or anyone. Until something floated up about one kilometre away. Danny flew over to investigate, to find…

"Plasmius! You again. What do you want? And stop following me!" screamed Danny.

"Calm down Daniel! I have other things to do. And as I said before, I am taking a well earned vacation." Shouted Vlad.

Danny got his hand out and shot a green beam at Vlad. This time it actually hit him. Vlad went crashing down and Danny flew after him. Vlad's eyes were closed tight. But he was still conscious. Vlad slowly opened his eyes to find Danny shooting another beam at him. Vlad was in pain. But Danny still kept hurting him.

"STOP! I surrender. Just stop hurting Me." puffed Vlad.

"Alright I will stop hurting you IF you promise you will stay out of my way in New York." Danny yelled at Plasmius.

"OK, OK I will!" cried Vlad.

Danny flew off in search of Tucker. Danny spotted tucker outside the arcade, looking up for Danny. Danny quickly went down besides tucker and the two rings appeared around him which turned him back into his human form. There was no one around because they had gotten such a scare so Danny wasn't worried.

"Who was that who attacked you?" asked tucker, whilst walking into the arcade.

"It was just Plasmius, again. I spotted him outside my house this morning and now he is here. But luckily he agreed not to torment me while I was here. I almost defeated him." Gloated Danny, proud.

"Well good on you!" cheered tucker.

"So, are you up for some decent video games?" asked Danny.

"Never been surer." Grinned tucker.

They played video games for a while until it was four thirty, half an hour before they had to be back at the hotel.

"Dude I think we should head back now." Moaned tucker, because Danny was winning.

"Uh… if you say so." Mumbled Danny.

They left the arcade and started on their walk home. It wouldn't take too long, only about ten minutes, when Danny got a call on his cell phone.

"Uh… hello?" Danny grinned as he answered the phone.

"Hey! Danny, did you have a nice trip? Say hi to tucker for me. Oh by the way it's Sam. I really needed to talk to you. I forgot to ring you and when I did you were gone. Anyway I can afford it. It won't cost you anything." Sam talked, cheerfully.

"Sam? Hey! How are you?" asked Danny, suddenly smiling.

"Oh I'm fine. What have you guys been up to?" asked Sam, thinking about Danny's icy blue eyes.

"Oh just been playing at the arcade near the hotel. You will never guess who I saw here? Vlad Plasmius! I almost beat him. He gave in! Anyway I think tucker wants to talk to you." Danny gloated.

"Tucker? Hey!" Sam shouted into the phone.

"Hey Sam, listen. We are kind of busy. Can you express your love for Danny in about three hours, when we will be back from dinner?" asked tucker, annoyed that his best friend was busy talking to his girlfriend.

"Uh… sure. Bye tucker, tell Danny I will call him tomorrow." Shouted Sam before tucker hung up.

"Danny she said she will call you tomorrow." Tucker told Danny.

"Oh… ok." Smiled Danny.

When they returned to the hotel they started to get ready to go out for dinner which was a half an hour drive away. Danny put on his suit and tie and so did tucker. They went to a place called Divine Fred Tines and spent a lot of money on the food. The main conversation going on was between Danny and tucker, talking about tuckers comics. They got back at the hotel at eight thirty and by that time they were all tired. Well, it was a long drive.
