I just want to thank MagicalGirl23 for giving me so many great ideas! I've tried to incorporate most of them in here, and the rest are coming up next chapter!

Disclaimer:I do not own Danny Phantom!

Jazz was driving Danny, Sam, and Tucker to their house after school that Friday. The four of them all went to the same high-end private school. Tucker Foley's parents had made a fortune in the dotcom bubble and were now heavily invested in various technology firms, including Dalv Corp. Tucker and his family got a lot of free high-tech stuff from these companies, and the chocolate-skinned boy usually carried a virtual computer lab around with him in the form of PDA's and laptops. Samantha Manson, or Sam, was the great-niece of the cellophane-twirling deli toothpick inventor. Her parents had also managed to exponentially increase the family fortune through investment banking, but it was a merit to all of their parents that none of the children acted spoiled or preppy in any way. In fact, Sam was a Goth because she wanted to be more independent from the rest of society.

"So, Danny, I heard that the captain of our school's football team tried to shove himself into his locker today," Jazz said. Behind her, Tucker reached around Sam, who was sitting in the middle, and gave Danny a high-five.

"You know, you really shouldn't abuse your powers like that," Jazz reprimanded.

"Yeah, yeah…speaking of which, did you go invisible again when he looked at you during lunch?" Jazz turned a delicate shade of maroon and the three younger teens burst out laughing. They watched interestedly as a large chrome RV rushed past them; they noticed that its side was decorated with a green 'F' that was encased in a fireball. Suddenly, it rapidly decelerated and swerved into the next lane, making a collision with Jazz's Porsche extremely imminent.

"Oh my god!" Jazz screamed. The girl swerved her car out of the way just in time, and the four teens sighed in releif. Unfortunately, they were now headed for the thick forest that lay just off the highway.

"Hold on," Danny yelled, and grabbed his armrest. He made himself, the car, and its occupants intangible so that they passed right through the trees. He held this position until Jazz could bring the car around so that they were facing the highway. When he grew too tired to focus his power for much longer, Jazz took over and held the car's intangibility as she brought it back onto the road and allowed Danny to sink wearily to the side. He landed with his head on Sam's shoulder, and lay like that for a moment.

"Lovebirds," Tucker snorted. Danny shot up.

"We're not lovebirds!" The two retorted, though both of them were blushing.

"Riiight," Tucker sarcastically rejoined, just as the car pulled up to Masters Manor. The four teens entered the mansion and greeted Vlad and Maddie.

"Hello, children, wel-what happened to all of you? You're all pale and trembling!" Vlad said, a worried look apparent on his face.

"Kids, is everything alright?" Maddie asked.

"Actually, we just had a near-death experience," Tucker said.

"What are you talking about? What near-death experience?"

"Some road-challenged idiot drove Jazz's car off the road. We swerved into the woods, but Jazz and I were able to phase the car through all of the trees until we got back onto the road."

"That's terrible! What did the car look like?"

"Well, it was more of an RV. It was really big and chrome-plated."

"Anything else? Any identifying features?"

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot! It had a huge green 'F' on the side, in the middle of a fireball." Vlad's and Maddie's eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

"An 'F'? But that can only mean-"

"Vladdie, don't jump to conclusions. It doesn't mean that it was him."

"Yeah, but what if it is? That 'F' probably stood for FentonWorks, his company."

"Dad?" Jazz interrupted. "Do you know who this guy was?"

"Yes, Jazzmine. The man who almost killed you four was Jack Fenton."

"What?" Danny said, outraged. He still had held one small glimmer of hope that his parents' college friend wasn't all bad, that his intentions were good and that the accident was really just a mistake. That glimmer was gone now. The big, fat, idiot had almost killed him, as well as his sister and two best friends. Now Danny felt nothing but hatred where Jack Fenton was concerned.

"That's right, son. It was Jack who did this. This is the last straw! The accident, I could live with. The backwash incident, I could move on from. But this? Almost killing my children? This is unacceptable. Jack won't get away with this, I promise you that."

"Maybe we could get back at him?" Maddie suggested slyly.

"How do you mean?"

"Well, we have three human-ghost hybrids on our side, right? Maybe you three could use your powers to make his obsession with ghosts his downfall." An evil plot came to Vlad's mind, and his eyes began to glow a pupilless red as he thought of Jack's reaction to the fate that was to befall him. He told the plot to the rest of his family, and Danny and Jazz's eyes began to glow as well.

"Okay, you guys are seriously starting to creep me out," Tucker said. The three hybrids eyes returned to normal.

"Sorry Tuck," Danny apologized. He clapped his hands together, "Alright, that's enough evil plotting for one sitting. How about we head up to my room and lose ourselves in some high-quality Xbox 360?"

"I'm in!" Sam said.

"Me too!" Tucker added.

"Great, let's go!" The three friends rushed into the interior of the castle, leaving nothing but three people-shaped clouds of dust in their wake.

Short, I know, but I wanted to divide this section into a few chapters so that I can fine-tune my creative juices while simultaneously keeping all of you from suffering for so long without an update. Thanks again to MagicalGirl23, and I'll see you all next time, which will be soon, I hope.

SAVE DANNY PHANTOM!
