Disclaimer: I don't own Danny Phantom or Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School. I do not own the original story this is based on.

Walking through the Magnus Bazaar markets was tense, not in the sense of constant danger, but more of the kind brought by teenage drama. And the worst thing about it was Danny being smack dab in the middle, both figuratively and literally. He was lucky to find the American Dragon and surprised to see him in human form, but it was more so that he had met Sabrina during the dating service.

Though he should not be surprised given his dates.

The source of drama was the fact that Jake chose Sabrina as his match, but Sabrina chose Danny.

To say it was awkward was the understatement of the year. The ghost boy did not know what to say. Neither did the dragon or witch.

Thinking back, it seemed obvious this could happen. During the dating service, Danny had been with witches and ghosts and robots, aliens, and even a mermaid. There was a chance another boy, supernatural or not, met some as well. He could feel stupid for not thinking ahead of this, but who would have thought this could happen?

Sabrina glanced at Danny and Jake. Two boys whom she had gone out with at different times. She liked two boys but had chosen one, a ghost boy who still was etched into her heart. All the while, Jake was a second choice, but that didn't mean the gap was large between the spots.

Jake is a nice guy, plus finding out the dragon stuff just now is cool, and Sabrina was fond of him, but she chose Danny because of a closer connection, both through supernatural and emotional. The ghost boy and switch had a race in the air as they pranked Vlad without ever dealing with the consequences.

On her date with Jake, the two enjoyed the site and connected through chat, But without something to put the two on the same level, the basis of their relationship was not as grand.

The blonde girl reflected on how things were right now. She wished things were different right now to process everything, especially since Danny needed her right now.

Due to the awkward silence, Danny and Jake broke it ad they began talking.

"So...uh, what's it like being the American Dragon?" Danny asked.

After a few seconds of recollection, Jake spoke. The boy was slightly unsure of where to start.

"Pretty cool, though it'd help if these magical emergencies didn't jack parts of my life."

The ghost boy could relate to that.

"I know what you mean," Danny groaned. "Every time there's a big test or a bunch of homework, you can bet a ghost will come by to make sure I don't have time for it."

"Dawg, it's like there's not enough time in the world for us!"

"Exactly!"

The two boys blinked, realized what happened.

"I guess we have some things in common," Danny said.

"Yeah, I guess," Jake said.

Still, he smiled. Danny smiled too.

Sabrina giggled at the boy's antics. They could sympathize with one another as their supernatural lives teased and annoyed the regular one. She smiled, recounting the same activities. The only difference between hers was that the witch brought a spell into her life most of the time.

Then another witch, Cassandra, came into her life, and things had even more magical turns.

And all the trouble that comes with it.

"Any idea where to start?" Sabrina asked.

The two boys stopped their tracks. Danny had not thought about where to look. He just figured checking out the magical side of life would yield answers. Then they found Jake, and things went somewhere else. He was supposed to meet April and—

Crap! I forgot about April! Danny yelled in his mind. He'd have to call her later and explain.

Thinking back, the ghost boy realized she knew about Rahzar and was the reason he was here. It was so embarrassing how things went. He was would make things up with her later.

As the three kept walking, they overheard the following from the bazaar patrons. Some useful, some not.

"There's been more human disguises lately," An ogre said to a leprechaun. The two were talking at a concession stand nearby. The smell was almost intoxicating, for anyone not a witch, dragon, or human.

"For real?"

The ogre nodded as he downed his drink. With a loud belch, the diminutive fairy thought over the conversation.

This got their attention, especially for the ghost boy, who had a significant other in possession of such an item.

"Think it's a lead?" Danny asked.

"This must be if it's conversation-worthy," Sabrina said.

Jake nodded as Fu dog looked at the teens.

"It is," the dog said sternly. Jake looked to his guardian animal, who never had much of a face like that. "Human disguises, while marketable, aren't the hottest item. So more of them means there are buyers."

"And I take that isn't good?" Danny asked.

"That can't be good," Jake answered.

The teens looked to each other and then to the bazaar. While the day was still young, time was not a definitive factor for them. They needed to cover more ground and search for any buyers.

"Alright, we'll split up. But don't rush these guys. This is still a place of business," Fu dog said on his hind legs. "Any sudden actions will have these leaving faster than lightning, capiche?"

Splitting up, the teens searched and scoured the area for vendors that sold such items.

Too bad not many vendors here had signs designating their merchandise. They had to listen to the screams and shouts of retailer announcing their wares like old newspaper articles.

"Socks, here! Come and get a tasty sock!"

"Eye of newt and nightshade! Freshly picked from the ground and my kid's pet!"

"Nimballs! Buy a broom. No finer brooms than a Nimball!."

"Straight from the Boiling Isles, fresh potions! will trade anything for them!"

Danny found this place to be both intriguing and disturbing. He was wondering if he made the right choice coming here. Some patrons eye him and Jake funny, but the dragon said that's how people are here.

After a while, Danny, Jake, Sabrina, and Fu met back up at a fountain. Children could be seen with parents as they played with the water, tossing a coin in when they could.

"Any luck?" Jake asked.

The others shook their heads.

"No, nothing," Danny said.

"No," Sabrina said.

"Great," Danny groaned as he leaned back onto the water figure. He fell on his back but noticed something odd—a clerk. More precisely, a woman in a red cloak. For some reason, she seemed familiar to the ghost boy, which was never a good sign. He decided to go check it out. Flying swiftly ahead, the boy ignored Fu's warning about charging in.

But it was too late. When the vendor saw the ghost boy, she took a vial out and slammed it against the ground. From the cracks of the vial, smoke swirled around the stand as customers fled. It was gone within seconds.

Leaving a disappointed ghost boy with a witch and dragon catching up to him.

"Kid! What did I tell you!?" Fu yelled. "If you just march up to someone here, they think of trouble and scram! not every business here is legit!"

Danny gave an apologetic face. He knew what he did was the wrong move yet still played it. It was embarrassing.

Jake and Sabrina sighed.

"It's alright," Jake said, looking at the spot where their mystery stand was seconds ago.

"Who the heck was that?!" Fu dog asked, sniffing the air. "She wasn't a normal seller here, that's for sure."

"And did you see how she ran away when we got closer? Tell me that doesn't sound suspicious?" Sabrina asked before noticing Danny's reaction. "Danny? Is everything alright?"

The ghost boy walked to where the stand once was. He bent down and picked up bits of the ground but tossed them aside. It meant nothing, but he kept circling the spot.

Sabrina took steps to see what was the matter, but Jake walked closer, sensing more to the scene.

"Something was definitely wrong here," the dragon said, looking at the ghost boy, "you feel it too?"

"It's strange," Danny spoke slowly, still studying the location. "I can't help but think I saw that person before."

"Really?" Sabrina asked.

Danny nodded as he stared at the vacant spot.

"Fu, is it possible to see who this guy was?" Jake asked.

The dog shook his head. "Not really, this place has no system to check, and with all the magical items being sold, it would take forever to using a tracking spell."

Sabrina looked frustrated.

"Can't we just ask around other vendors?" Sabrina asked. She had been called in for help and was not leaving empty-handed.

"Tough to say," Fu added. "Seeling items to walk in the human world isn't considered important. Or looked highly upon."

That confused the teens.

"What do you mean? I've seen plenty of monsters, witches, and other magical creatures wearing disguises," Sabrina commented.

Danny nodded in agreement. He knew first hand of these events from the pendant Phantasma wore and news of monsters entering the human realm. There was even the mall incident at the beginning of the school year. Though Freakshow had more say in that.

"Maybe, but making disguises a fad is not a good idea," Fu said seriously.

"Why?" Danny asked.

"Because anyone can sneak into the human world, and that can bring attention. The kind we don't need," Jake answered.

"And trust me, you don't want to see a unicorn on the dissection table," Fu added with tears in his eyes. "It's ain't right."

Danny realized their point and nodded. Sabrina then noticed something.

"What's this?" the half-witch said, picking up something off the ground.

It was a pendant in the area. Danny took a closer look and recognized the design as the same one his girlfriend was wearing. It was strange to see the object, but it seemed more so for the seller to disappear.

What could this mean? All the ghost boy knew was that he spooked his suspect before any questions could be asked.

After a quick sniff, Fu examined the pendant with interest.

"Hmm..." The dog said.

"What is it?" Sabrina asked.

"Hard to say. I'm gonna have to take this back to the shop. Maybe the old man has an idea."

The dog took the pendant and placed it within the floods of his body, patting it down to secure it, the guardian looked around for anything unusual, but that could be anything. And to top things off, another vendor came to take the spot the gang had vacated. In seconds a stall for selling toilets appeared.

Not wanting to find out why there is such a stand, the teens left as the ghost boy glanced at the spot one more time.

"Danny, you coming?" Sabrina asked.

The ghost boy did not respond till a few seconds later.

"I need some answers or a lead," Danny said to himself out loud. After a moment he snapped his fingers. "Or a wider net."

Jake and Sabrina walked to him in concern. The dragon had his thoughts more on their task at hand.

"You know anyone who might help right now?" the American Dragon asked.

Having an idea, Danny pulled out his phone and dialed a number. There could be one person who could help. A few minutes later, someone picked up.

"Hey, Spectra. It's Danny," The ghost boy said.

"Danny!" the ghost girl said excitedly before calming down. "How are you?"

Jake chuckled as Sabrina held a smirk. They heard the exclamation over the phone along with the shrill. Their laughter broke out as the ghost boy tried to get a word in.

"I'm fine. Really-Yes it's great to hear from you too. I'm not in trouble."

This went one for a good few minutes. The teens dragged their friend away from the crowd they were drawing. Eyes were the last thing they needed, even those just looking for a laugh.

"So...Danny," Spectra said with a slightly coy tone. "Who's with you right now?"

"Just a new friend and Sabrina."

"Who?" Spectra asked before she recalled the name from a certain party.

Danny explained the situation and that his friends were helping him. While the ghost girl was jealous of another previous date beside him, she let it go for now. She knew Danny would not call her just to say hello. Unless they were dating.

"So this clerk disappeared, and you want some help?" Spectra said in confusion. It was not that she did not wish to. In fact, the opposite was the entire truth. There was nothing she could do. SHe only knew the districts and malls she journeyed to regularly, not the Magnus Bazaar.

"I just want you to keep an eye out for a vendor in a red cloak. If things are as crazy as I think, she'll appear in other places too," Danny said. He wanted to ask Phanty but had a feeling she would not have any answers about the lady.

"Alright," Spectra conceded. She could not say no to the ghost boy. Even though this could be dangerous, but then again, she was going into investigative journalism. "You take care of yourself," the ghost girl said with all her heart before hanging up.

The ghost boy hung up, reeling from the ghost girl's words. He had no idea if it would work, but spreading the network may help. He'll have to make more calls later. Right now was the bazaar. And more importantly, Jake, Fu, and Sabrina, who wore a worried expression.

"Alright then, I'm heading out," Fu said, patting the pocket with the pendant. "I'll take this back to Gramps. Jake, here will help you guys with whatever you need."

"Thanks," Danny said, waving goodbye with Sabrina.

After Fu left, Jake turned to the others, unsure of what to do next."

"I guess this was a bust," Danny groaned.

"Well...not exactly," Jake said with optimism.

The three teens decided to hang out a little more. Sure, the mission was a bust, but that didn't mean that they couldn't be friends and enjoy each other's company.

Jake decided to give them a tour of his favorite spots in the bazaar. Which included some concessions and, bookstores, and even some videos. Though with the last one, most magical folks did not watch them.

And Danny didn't care to find out what the tapes were for.

The Magnus Bazaar had much to offer, and while there were places too dangerous, the trio never regretted their choices. Especially when Danny and Jake decided to prank a certain troll for insulting Sabrina.

A prank that involved overshadowing, dragon fire, and a few spells Sabrina had on hand.

The day continued with the three getting snacks, sightseeing, and general teenage fun. At a few points, the teens stopped to take a photo. Sometimes it was fun while others were funny with silly faces. It was a grand time to be had, but sadly it could not last forever.

Soon, it was close to sunset, and Danny had a train to catch.

"It was a nice day despite everything," Danny commented with a sigh. "I wish I could check out more locations."

The Magnus Bazaar was nice, but the gang did not find any answers. Maybe a lead, but that could be a wild goose chase.

"There's always a next time," Jake said. "I'll help you out, and we can scope another part of town."

"Well, there is one other place we can check out another time, but I'll need to check with some friends first."

"Cool."

The ghost boy and dragon fist-bumped with a smile. They were happy to have found more allies in their crazy lives. As was the half-witch who smiled at the two.

"This was fun," Sabrina said with a blush. "We should do this again next time."

"Definitely. How does next week sound for you guys?" Jake asked, his hand extended to the ghost boy.

"Love to, but I can't," Danny said, fist-bumping the dragon. "I've got the plans."

The ghost boy wore a sultry face, indicating the nature did his next few days. Jake nodded in approval. The boys understood the importance but knew they had double lives, which needed to be tended to. Besides, all work and no play will leave a dull Danny and Jake.

And nobody wanted that. Except for maybe enemies, but none had stopped to make sure neither the ghost boy nor dragon to be incredibly bored. It would take too much time and effort.

"Right then. Call me when you got a chance," Jake said.

Sabrina glanced at the two. She stared at Danny in particular as her heart kept beating. A part of her still likes him, but he is happy with his girlfriend, and Phanty is a nice ghoul. They deserve to be happy together.

They exited the magical market via the subway, Sabrina and Jake got off, the half-witch had arrived by other means and decided to lave by the same method. Before the door closed and Danny left, the girl walked over to the boy and kissed him on the cheek.

"Goodbye, Mr. Fenton," she said softly. A tear fell down from her eye, and the boys understood what she meant. Jake, especially since he went through something similar. Waving goodbye to his new friends, Danny got on the train as his phone rang. Picking it up, he saw that it was April. this was not going to be pretty.

"Hey...April," Danny said nervously.

Sabrina gave a last longing look at Danny as the train left. Her heart, still fluttering, was pushed down as she turned to Jake.

"Hey, Jake?" Sabrina asked, not looking at the boy all the way. "Do you have any time off?"

The American dragon turned back to the half-witch. Their eyes locked as the boy contemplated the question.

The banshee was not her usual energetic self today. She has been worried about Danny and his "mission."

Phanty knew that she had to trust and have faith in him, but it was not easy when your rival, who also has the hots for said boyfriend, helped. There was always a chance that the moment-

The ghoul stopped her train of thought as she shook her head. She was not her father and did not want to be like him. He may have a happy life, but the banshee wanted none of the hot-blooded jealousy.

She sighed.

"This is going to be tougher than I thought," Phanty thought out loud.

"What is?" Dani asked.

The young halfa was a regular guest for the banshee. Of course, since the ghoul was dating what was essentially her brother, that was given. Young Danielle spent most days hanging out with Winnie and Tanis. And there were times where she'd help Ms. Grimwood in the kitchen.

If only that could be a good thing.

The two ghost girls took a flight through the swamp for some exercise. Phantasma was in charge of Daniellle whenever they did such activities. Though the halfa girl never made it easy. Sometimes, Dani would sneak off when she could and play hide and shriek with the banshee. It was like two sisters getting along, except sometimes the older sibling wanted to get their work out done quickly and get to her haunting hunk.

A familiar but unwanted cry had alerted the ghouls that someone decided to disturb them.

"I am the Box Ghost! Master of all things cardboard and square! Beware!" The male ghost bellowed.

Phanty and Dani groaned.

"You again?" Dani said, having encountered him once before.

"What are you doing here?" Phanty asked.

"To ensure you know the meaning of Terror!" The Box Ghost shouted.

The girls rolled their eyes and smirked. Phanty decided to charge her fists with energy. She had to practice her new techniques. And there was no better dummy than this one.

A look from Dani showed that she also wanted some of the action.

The two ghost girls nodded before turning to the male ghost.

"This is gonna be fun," Dani said as she flew forward. Phanty followed shortly.

They needed no help from anyone.

Unknown to the two ghouls, someone had watched them from a distance. Binoculars zoomed in on the two as they overpowered their annoying ghostly foe. It was nothing new, though it still made the man chuckle.

It was cathartic seeing how the Box Ghost was never quiet with anything, especially his own pain.

"Those two have gotten stronger...good," he said with a wicked grin. "I can't wait for things to move along."

Well, looked like things went awry for Danny, but he made new friends, and it seems Jake is getting a second chance. I admit, April was suppose to appear, but things in real life distracted me. It's been a bit tough, but I will make it up with another chapter in New York. What will happen next time Danny and Jake are in New York? Well, it'll definitely involve the ghost boy and April. That's all I'll say.

Reviews:

Jebest4781: And more will come.

Luiz4200: It's not Danny's baffled by taking a train to magical places, he figured they'd be more mystical.

danifan3000: Pine trees...interesting.

Starlord Master: How powerful is The Phantom? You'll get an idea in later chapters.

61394: Thanks!

nightmaster000: Thanks!

Major Simi: Thanks!

William Escobar 608: 1) Sí. 2) Sin comentarios. 3) De hecho. 4) Oh, el drama. 5) Bueno ... el trío no habló por un momento. 30-40, diría yo.

Artorias(Guest): Difícil de decir. Cuando Wolf lo olfateó, todo lo que Walker le dio fue una foto. No sé si Walker hizo una foto perfumada, pero eso deja algunas cosas que cuestionar sobre el aroma de Danny. Diré que no todas las narices podrían rastrear a Danny, pero quienes lo conocieron antes tendrían una idea de su olor.

Dreams Come True 996: Thanks!

Jay The Average Fanboy: I will take more couple for the fic into consideration.

PrometheusDark: Good point. I'm not the best writer but will rectify things in the later chapters. Especially with utilizing characters better.
