Chapter 4: One Big Decision

It was six a.m on a Saturday Morning. The sun was just rising above the horizon, and there wsasn't a cloud in the sky. Danny Fenton was standing outside of Foster's in the front yard. He had his Fenton thermos, and the time capsule was behind him. Tucker and Sam were right next to him, waiting for the others. Finally, they all came out with their prized possessions.

"Everybody ready?" He asked as they all assembled. They all answered yes.

Wilt was the first one to go. He had gone through all of his stuff, and he finally decided to bury the one thing he could never let go of: A bobblehead of himself. He placed it gently into the time capsule, as if it were a baby. He backed away slowly as he said his final goodbye.

Eduardo was next. He walked up to the capsule, and took out his baby paco beanie bag. He gave it one final hug and then dropped it into the capsule. He then backed away, crying. Thankfully, he didn't have to worry since everyone was going to lose something important to them today. He stopped crying and gave a weak smile.

Coc was next. She stood next to the capsule, sat down, and layed herself an egg. Inside the egg, was a trading card of herself. She picked it up with her feet and placed in in the time capsule. She walked away, gave is a glare, and turned away.

It was now Frankie's turn to give somethign up to the time capsule. She took off her green sweater, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a letter she got from her mother, who she hasn't seen since she started working at Foster's. She placed it gently into the time capsule and then backed away.

Mr. Herriman stepped up to the time capsule. He took out something of not such importance: a house key from when Frankie won the election for president. He placed it down in the capsule, and stepped back and he thought about that faithful day where he was shunned of his pride and his dignity.

Now, it was Bloo's time to place his possession into the capsule. Since Bloo was too clueless to realize that he was the one to make the paddleballs work, he thought that the paddleballs were trying to 'taunt him'. So he decided to put in one of his 'broken' paddleballs into the capsule. He wasn't sorry to get rid of it at all. Poor, poor, clueless Bloo.

Next, Mac. Mac slowly walked up to the time capsule, and took out his keychain. He held it close to his heart, and remembered that faithful day.

"Alright Mac, I have to tell you something." Lancelot said as he held his son's shoulders. He knelt down and said, "You know that I love you, your brother, and your mother very much, and that I try my very best to keep this family going. But, I've been called away to an important exibitation in Antarctica and I don't know when I'll be back."

"But while I'm gone, you knwo you have my number in your room, and you can talk to your cousions, Daniel, Jasmine, even your uncle Mattie and Jack Fenton. But you have to stay strong. But no matter what happens, my son, knwo that I'll always love you. Which is why I want you to have this." He held up a golden keychain engraved: Lancelot Kazoo, world's greatest dad.

"It was a gift from you for Father's day. This is a little piece of me so you'll never forget me. I want you to wear it everyday that you're out of this house, so you'll know that I'm always with you, in your heart." He began to hug his son.

"I will dad." Mac said, hugging his father for the last time. "I will!"

Just then, the door bell rang, and in burst Jack Fenton, thinking there was a ghost in the house, until he spotted Lancelot.

"Oh, hello Lancey, my man!" Jack said. "Nice to see you-gladf to see you didn't leave yet!"

"Yeah, um, I kind of wished I did." He answered sarcastically.

"Were you being sarcastic?" Danny asked, aying attention to the keychain.

"Yeah. Well , anyway, I gotta get going! I'm expected at subway in 30 minutes, so I gotta do 60 if I wanna make it in time." He said his goodbyes to everyone, and finally left. Mac watched him as he left the house and got into The Fenton Family Ghost Assult Vehicle. Mac waved goodbye, Bloo came into the room, and got to the window to see Mr. Kazoo for the final time in his life. They exchanged waves and the RV finally left the drive-way, leaving Danny and Jasmine to baby-sit the Kazoo family.

"Sorry dad." Mac finally said. "I love you, very much! But I can't hold onto the past. I've gotta move on to the future. I have to think about my careers, my education. I can't hold onto you forever. I have to do this. If I've learned two things in my life, it's that you taught me to make friends in my life to screw my troubles away, and to never hold onto my problems It's like my whole life is within this keychain, and I can't hold onto it forever. This is something I have to do." There was a brief moment of silence, then Mac placed the keychain down into the capsule, and finally walked away, letting go of the past.

Madame Foster put in one of her Famous triple Chocolate Chip Cookies bobbleheads into the capsule, Tucker put in his PDA, Sam put in her remote control (From Attack of the Killer Garage Sale) and Danny put in his Fenton Thermos. After everyone had put in their possession, Danny had closed the capsule, Tucker has set the cooardinates for April 7, 2026, and then he pressed the button. The items were materialized into thin air in a matter of seconds, and then they vanished.

"Well, that's it." Danny had said, after a long silence. "Twenty years from now, those items will be back again for the new residence to see."

"Yeah, it's going to be awesome!" Mac said, happy as a critter. And the trio went inside, awaiting that day...

Twenty years later...

Dave Fenton, the son of Danny Fenton and Sam Manson, also a half ghost hybrid known as David Phantom, flew over to a strange, tall looking house where they kept imaginary friends that are homeless. He went to...you guess it: Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! He was 7 years old, and was born when Danny and Sam were 25, making the two of them thirty-four years old.. He already mastered plasma blasts, intangibility, invisibility, he could duplicate into 2 seperate ghosts, but he couldn't master the Ghostly Wail even though he could do that.

"Hey dad!" He called to Danny Phantom. "Look down there!" He pointed to Mac, Bloo, and the gang out in the front yard.

"I see." He answered. "It's a bunch of imaginary friends and my 28 year old cousion digging...up...oh my gosh! It's time! Come on, Dave!" He flew down at 250 miles an hour. Dave could only fly 112 mph. Danny called Sam and told him to meet at Foster's.

Down there, Mr. Herriman announced that it was time to dig up the time capsule that was buried twenty years ago. And it was time. He also annoucned that none other than Danny Fenton Sam Manson, and their son, Dave Fenton were going to help them. When the capsule was dug up, insidew were all the possessions buried as if they were only buried five seconds ago. Brand new and still stylish.

Dave's ghost sense went off as he saw Skulker flying in the air. He transformed, and when he did, his chest part of the costume was gray, and the pants were black. His logo was the same as Danny. Everyone, including the gang were astonished to see that the son of Danny and Sam was half ghost. His hair was black, though. He had white gloves and boots on. He flew off to Skulker and started firing Ectoplasmic energy blasts at him. Skulker dodged all, but the last one hit him directly, as he fell into a car. Dave then used invisibility and flew into the ground. He popped up at the bottom of a car and smashed it on impact as he tackled Skulker. He then formed a green plasma ring and it sucked Skulker inside. Dave pointed to the sky, and fired Skulker out of it. He then took the thermos and sucked him inside.

Danny watched the whole thing and was amazed. "Wow, you've surely improved!" He said, as Dave came to the ground and transformed back to human mode. "have you been practicing?"

"Um...yeah?" He asnwered. A long moment of silence, and then the three broke out into laughter. And soon everyone was laughing hysterically, including Frankie and Mr. Herriman.

And so, this is a quick glimpse of what twenty years into the future will be like.

The end.

I hope that you enjoyed it. And now...
