Chapter 3: Cross Country Drive, Day II: Kansas

Early the next morning, Danielle was woken up from her 'deep sleep'. She was up late last night with the Bloo Spirit and just wanted to sleep.

"Uh, must I wake up now?" She said, cranky as ever. "It's only 6 a.m.!"

"Yes, but we only have five days left until I have to give my speech." Mac said, giving her a glare of grief, and pity at the same time. Danny was put in the bed next to him after he was examined. The pain was almost gone, but it still hurt a little. Danielle just sighed and got up.

"AGGGHHHHHHHH!" Jack screamed from outside. "GHOST!" Outside was Skulker, trying to retrieve the ecto-converter, but Jack blasted him and knocked him out, leaving out on the road. "Okay then, now we can go."

On the road, Jack announced that they were going to Kansas to see the world's longest snake. Danielle had fallen asleep twice in the RV for a half hour each, both hadn't satisfied her enough, but she wasn't as cranky after both naps. Then, Danny finally asked,

"Why are you so tired today?"

"Listen, I was woken up last night by a ghost named The Bloo Spirit." She explained. "He told me I have to protect Mac from Plasmius's attack at L.A. in five days. He said he was going to use the new stable clone to destroy us all and get the deed to Foster's. We can't let him get it..." She yawned twice during that conversation.

"Wow, that's going to be a lot of work for you. Can you handle it?" Danny asked.

"Yeah, I was just up for a while talking to that guy, and I couldn't get to sleep right away, so I'm just cranky and tired."

"Wow, that's exactly how I act when I don't get any sleep...are you sure you're just a clone and not my cousion?"

"I'm sure."

"Good." He looked at the front and saw a lot of traffice. A lot of traffic. "Look, we're gonna be on the road a while, so why don't you gert some sleep and I'll wake you if they're any trouble."

"Sounds like a good idea." She agreed and yawned. She closed her eyes for just a second, and opened them just a little. "I can barely stay awake."

"I can see. 1), because you're cranky and tired, and 2), you still have your pajamas on." Danielle looked at her clothes, and saw he pajamas.

"Man, I must be exhausted."

"Yeah you are. Why don't you get some sleep. We won't be there for a few hours." He patted Danielle's head as she slowly fell asleep on his knee. She was out cold in a matter of moments, the perfect timing as Danny's ghost sense went off.

As Mac went into the bathroom, he saw Technus there, floating, holding the Ecto-converter. He then phased out of the bathroom and into the RV. Everybody screamed, but it didn't wake Danielle. Danny transformed into ghost mode and saw Technus had the Ecto-converter. When Jack and Maddie saw this, they pulled over. Thankfully, Mac snuck the Spector Deflector, the Fenton Fisher, the Fenton Peeler, the Ghost Bazooka, and the fenton Thermos onto the trip. But Technus made it so none of them worked.

"Man, that guy's good."

"And you know what the weird thing is...Danielle's a sound sleeper." Danny sarcastically remarked at them, realizing she did not react to all the screming.

"Relax, child, I got what I needed. I shall be off now." Technus said, phasing out of the ceiling.


When they arrived at Sparkytown where they held the snake, they were amazed to see that it was 23 feet long. But Danielle wasn't paying attention to it, but to Mac instead. When Danny saw this, he locked him, Mac, and Sam and Tucker in the bathroom and told them everything.

"Sam, Tucker, Mac, I don't know if it's true but..." Danny began, and opened the door. Mac looked out and Danielle waved to him, grinning. Danny closed the door. "...I think Danielle has a crush on Mac!" The three just stood, their mouths dropped.

"That's ridiculous. Why would a 12-year old be hitting on a 9-year old?" Tucker asked, looking at Mac.

"Why would a 12-year old clone of Danny have a crush on me?" Mac asked, looking at Danny.

"I don'know." Danny finally answered. "But she really seems to like you. I mean, she kept staring at you during the whole tour."

"I guess." Mac opened the door, and the four came out and sat down again. During the whole car ride, Danielle sat next to Mac and tried to hold his hand. Mac was creeped out big time. When he talked to Danny...

"Danielle tried to hold my hand the whole trip, but the weird thing is...I kind of wanted to hold her hand myself."

To be continued.
