Chapter 2: Cross-Country Drive, Day One: Nebraska
A/N: Okay, this is the first day of the trip to Los Angeles. But I'll also focus on the adventure. Sorry I haven't updated, writer's block. But I spent most of 4/23 writing this chapter, making it long, and exciting. Oh, and this is also linked to another fic of mine, "Selling it Out" where Ludvin Shek XII tries to destroy Foster's and the gang, but I've said too much. Now, Chapter 2!
"Alright, people, listen up!" Jack yelled while driving the RV. "I decided to make a trip schedule so we can visit the entire world and get to L.A. on time. So, we'll be visitng all the wonders in the world for only a short time, so, you each have only 12 minutes after each main event to do your own thing and meet back at the RV or we're taking off without you."
"Wow, we're going to see all the natural wonders in the world." Bloo shouted.
"Bloo, we can't go to all the wonders, or else we'd never make it." Mac reminded him.
"Oh yeah."
"But we will be visiting some of the world record sites in the world." jack said. "And the first one is...the world's biggest pillow in Nebraska!"
"Oh great. Maybe I can live there." Danny said, lurching in pain.
"Har, har. Very funny." Bloo said.
"Yeah, he should be a regular Joey Gladstone." Mac sarcastically added.
A/N: Joey Gladstone is from "Full House".
"You know, you should really stop and think twice about the things I could do to you if it weren't for this blindingly...aching...pain!"Danny was in no mood to be talking right now, for he knew the pain would grow and not stop. His chest ached in pain, his breathing grew heavy, and he could not keep his eyes open.
"Quick! Mac! Do you know CPR?" Bloo asked...having no idea what he was saying.
"Dude, I have said it to Vlad, and now you can hear it. You are one seriously crazed up froot loop." Danny said with a jerk.
"Am I rasberry?" Bloo asked.
"I rest my case."
"We're here!" Jack yelled from the front seat. "We're here at the world's biggest pillow." Everyone assembled outside and stared at the pillow, gazing into its feathery softness. They were lost in a qhite trance.
"Welcome to the Pillow Lodge." The tour guide said. "The world's largest pillow was first sewn in 1861 by Ludvin Shek II, with a height 0f 13 1/2 feet, and a width of 6 feet, weighing at 160 lb. It has been left in New Mexico for display until the start of world war I, then it was taken to Canada, until the vietnam war, then it was left here and never moved since."
"Wow, it must be important." Bloo said, sarcastically.
"Actually, it was. See, this was almost destroyed during the vietnam war, until a brave warrior named Ludvin Shek IV, got himself shot protecting the pillow."
"Wow, it must be important." Bloo said, this time being serious.
"Indeed it was. Now, if you'll follow me, we have.."
Vlad Plasmius's Easter Bunny was stalking the gang as they left the Pillow tour and headed out of town. He gave an evil grin as he slowly examined the pillow. He then pressed a button on his watch, and then the screen went blank.
Back at Vlad's lair, he was working on a new project. He was looking at new files at Wilt, Eduardo, Coco, Mac, Bloo, Frankie, Danny, and Sam, until...
"Bunny to Plasmius." The Easter Bunny said on his watch. "I got the data."
"Excelent." Plasmius said. "Proceed with them, and don't lose them."
"Right, Easter Bunny out." He left.
"Excelent. Phase I is complete. Soon, my greatest creation will be complete. My quest for the perfect half-ghost clone is almost complete. Easter Bunny, if you can hear me, for phase II, retrieve a sample of Daniel's Ectoplasmic signature."
"Yes sir." He said.
"Good. Soon, I will have the perfect half-ghost son and get revenge on that 'greatest creation' Danielle, and destroy her!" Vlad screamed. "And then I will have the ultimate ghost army in the world! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! MUA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! AHHHHHHHHHHH HA HA HA!"
"So dad, where are we going now?" Danny asked, his pain growing with each second, slowly losing consciousness.
"We're going to stay in a hotel overnight so we can get you a doctor, Danny." Jack said. "How're you holding up."
"Well, let's just say in Retrospect, anyone who jerks me up, I will personally rip out your organs, sell them on the internet, and them drink the blood for lunch." Danny said, sarcastically.
"I'm sorry, but that's just gross." Wilt remarked.
"I know!"
"Okay guys, break it up." Mac said, acvcidentally touching Danny, making him scream in pain. "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry."
"Dude, be careful." Bloo remarked. "Make him scream later and he might unleash his Ghostly Wail..."
"Bloo, it takes up all my power in ghsot mode. I doubt I could really do it in human mode."
"You never know."
Meanwhile...
"Sweetie, did we fill up the RV with gas?" Jack asked, worried when he saw the gas tank almost on E.
"I...think so." Maddie said, almost asking. "Then again, we do get 8 miles to the gallon."
"Actually, we only get 6 gallons to the mile." Jack corrected. The both stopped the RV, and looked back at the kids.
"Kids, we have a slight problem." Maddie explained. "We don't have enough gas to make it to the hotel. So we're going to be here a while."
"Well, if you don't mind, I suggest you please HURRY IT UP! I'M NOT GOING TO LAST FOREVER!" Danny yelled, screaming in pain afterwards. "It hurts so much..."
"I'll call a taxi." Mac said, getting out of the RV. He whistled for a taxi, but nothing happened. Then...
"No need for a taxi." Jack called. "The RV just stalled. Let me just start it up again, and everything will be back to normal." He started the RV, and it started up. Mac got back in the car and they drove off, but they were too late because the Easter Bunny had already snuck in, invisible and got a sample of Danny's ectoplasmic signature.
But what he didn't know, wouldn't hurt him, for now. Danielle Fenton/Phantom, Danny's 'clone' had been watchin g the Easter BUnny and the gang on their adventure, and was about to make a big entrance. When the RV came to a stop, she boarded the RV. Jack and MAddie were surepirsed to see her, but no one else was.
"Danny, who is this?" Jack asked.
"Dad, mom, this is my 'cousion' Danielle. She's actually my artificial clone made by Plas...uh, 'The Wisconsin Ghost'." Danny said, hoping they wouldn't ask what 'Plas' meant. "But don't worry, she's not evil. She's actually part ghost, like me."
"It's true." She agreed. "But I came to warn you all that you're in danger. 'The Wisconsin Ghost' is planning on making anoither artificial clone of Danny, an evil clone. And he made the 'mistakes' take Ectoplasmic signature samples of Danny to get it right. He's following our every move, and he even got a new ghost power: The Ghostly Wail. Our best bet is to keep on the move so we keep him far from our tracks."
"We can't." Wilt shouted. "Sorry, but we have to get Danny to a hospital so he can move again. He's been sore all week, and he can't move without having extreme pain..."
"Plasma syndrome. I knew it." Danielle interupted. "It's this rare ghost virus where a large amount of infected ectoplasm enter's a ghost's body and begins to dry out the muscles of the uninfected Ectoplasmic energy within them. Thus making them sore and stiff. Then they will slowly lose their powers. Unless you get a new, clean sample of Danny's Ectoplasmic signature, he will be sore and in pain for a while, and it could even be fatal if not treated within 10 days. But seeing as he's only half-ghost, prehaps it'll take about another 17 days."
"Alright, so we have some time." Danny said, erging to scream. "But not...much, and there's...only...6 days left...until Mac has to give his...speech." Danny screamed hard in pain and for a while.
"Hmm, perhaps I was wrong. We have only 11 days left, then." Danielle said. "Then let's get moving."
"Okay then, today we're staying at a hotel." Maddie said. "Tomorrow, we're going to Kansas to see the world's longest serpent on display. Danielle, you can join us if you like."
"Yeah, that would be awesome." She almost shouted, almost hesitating.
That night, the gang and Danielle were asleep in the hotel, with nice, warm beds, room service, and clean restrooms. Danielle fell asleep before everyone else, watching Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Deleted Scenes included.
A/N: I'm watching it now, so I wanted to add it.
Maddie and Jack gave her a blanket and a pillow to rest her head on. Danny was in the infermery, just next door, being treated by doctors. Danielle'sa ghost sense went off, but she didn't wake up right away. She was out cold and nothing was going to wake her up. Just then, The Bloo Spirit phased from the ceiling, invisible. He walked over to the infermeryand saw Danny being treated by doctors. Then he went back to Danielle and the others, had a look around, and went to wake up Danielle.
Danielle shook awake, and looked at the Bloo Spirit, transforming into her ghostly form.
"Relax, child. I am not your foe. I am a friend." He said, picking up up. "Please, walk with me..."
"So, you're saying that Plasmius is going to attack L.A. during Mac's big speech with his clone?" Danielle asked, followed by a long yawn.
"Yes. You must protect Mac at all times." Bloo Spirit said, fading out, but said before he left... "I am known as many names, but you child may call me 'The Bloo Spirit'." He faded out, and so was Danielle. She yawned again, almost asleep this time. She checked her watch: it was almost midnight. She went back to her bed, changed back into human form, and instantly fell asleep on her bed, moving for the last time of the night.
To be continued.
