I'm back. And I defeated Pokemon Red. (-That was written months ago. I'm now at the Pokemon league in Crystal)

Also, Danny is confirmed to have telekinesis as a power. It only showed up in one episode though.

I know I'm taking months to write new chapters, I just haven't had inspiration, plus school is annoying, plus I got into two new shows that I constantly watch o.o so enjoy!

Chapter 16: Avoidance


Danny peeked out the door, but Heather was gone. Down the hall, there was a janitor walking towards the room. He noticed Danny and sighed. It was obvious he knew what to expect. Danny gestured for the janitor to hurry, but the janitor just gave him an angry glare.

"Danny Phantom. That girl wasn't kidding." He took a look around the room, with shattered desk pieces covering the floor and splattered ectoplasm covering the walls, along with dents in the walls and floor that would take a while to repair. "Well, you won't be happy to know you're helping clean this mess." He shoved a broom and dustpan into Danny's hands. "Hold on while I get some extra trash bags."

Danny used his wrist-mounted ghost catching ray (which he called the thermos ray, as a joke referring to the original Fenton thermos) to suck up the ectoplasm on the walls, and telekinesis to get the debris into a neat pile. When the janitor got back, he sighed again. This time, it was a sigh of relief.

Danny lifted the debris into the trash cans the janitor brought. "I'm sorry about this. There's complicated ghost stuff going on. I'm just trying to fix it... and I didn't even get your name."

"Call me Mr. Cliff. Thanks for helping. I'll have to bring you to the office to make a damage report though, so you're not out of the water yet."

Danny brought the trash bags to the dumpster and flew to the office, meeting Mr. Cliff there. He knew this day was just about to get worse.


Alex met Heather and Ray at a table in the far corner of the cafeteria. Heather had two bagfuls of individually-wrapped cookies. How she got them without the lunch ladies noticing they were gone was a whole other mystery. She could easily not get seen taking them, because of the obvious ghost powers, but why would she want them in the first place?

"Hey, Alex. Want to walk to the high school and sell these after school? Ray's already in on it." At least the cookie mystery was solved.

"Sure. With that many we could get Doomed Remastered for all three of us... but isn't that stealing?"

Heather shushed him. "They give these out free. It's not stealing, but don't bring attention to us. Anyways, there's about three hundred cookies. We sell them for a dollar each at the high school. Immediately after, we go to the game store and get three copies of Doomed, and with the remainder we could get the new Super-Z controllers."

"Oh man, those controllers are so good! Lets do it!" Alex paused for a second. "Hey... I almost forgot! What happened when you left class?"

Heather yawned. "I beat up some ghost lady, no big deal. Well, technically my dad did most of the work, but he doesn't know!"

"Which ghost lady? She might be in the ghost files."

"Spectra. She had this sort of assistant dude, Bertrand, who was basically living goop. Spectra had some sort of human disguise, but turned into darkness with eyes and sharp teeth. Like, you can tell she was there. She had a tail and arms and a face, but her body was like a shadow. Let's go find a safe place to bring out the laptop."

Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance to look. When they got into a janitor's closet and opened the laptop, a loud pinging sound rang. A text box saying "tracking system activated" popped up.

And over the loud pinging sound, Heather had one thing to yell: "I don't have the energy for this!" She looked around the room, found some small empty backpack on the floor, and stuffed the laptop inside. The pinging sound quieted down to the level of a phone's speakers, but didn't stop. "Take this and run. No doubt it's my dad trying to track it down. Ray, you take it first. When you see anyone, run the opposite way through the east wing, changing floors and running through rooms often. In two minutes, meet Alex outside by the track. Alex, take to the woods behind the school and run through, change directions often. When I text you, bring it to the library. I'll take over from there."

Alex raised his hand. With a smile, Heather said "yes?"

"So, two questions. One, what will you do before you get the backpack, and two, how did you think of this plan so fast?"

"One, I'm going to see if the number Yoltrun texted me from still works. Two, I watch a lot of movies. Now, get into position! I'll fly around invisible and text Ray if I see my dad."

Heather seemed confident in her words, but in her mind, she had a feeling that everything will go wrong. Karma does have a sense of humor, of course.


A few minutes ago...

"Danny, are you sure the software will even work? It hasn't been used for... actually, its never been used."

"We've been waiting all afternoon for this. If its still in the human world, once its out of sleep mode, it will activate and stay activated. Until the baterry runs out, of course."

Looking at a phone screen for an hour was boring. Danny thought of giving up trying to find it.

But suddenly, they got a ping.

The program didn't have a map view, only an arrow that pointed in the ping's direction. It was designed by the great Jack Fenton, so of course it wasn't perfect, but to get the vital information, it would do.

"Sam, get the Specter Speeder. Let's get that laptop.


Hope you enjoy. Sorry for the wait!
