A Step Into The Future
Chapter Four
Spiking Cheese, AGAIN?
Previously on Finger Island…
"I am NOT a lizard!"
Everyone watched as the ghost things skin got paler and paler until it was almost the same colour as Roxy's skin.
"what ARE you?" Paulina asked.
"I am… umm… hmm… I… I am… FUNGUS! Oh, right, you asked what I am… well, I am a kind of ghost who has the ability to do special things, like change my form!" Fungus told them.
"then why didn't you change when you were back there, about to get umm… your blood sucked?" Danny asked.
"because, there are 4 words for it." Fungus told them.
"Vlad spiked her/my cheese" said Fungus, Danny, Kelly, Kirstyn, Roxy, Gregg and Ryan.
Everyone was quiet for a record time, one minute.
"where are Danny Fenton and the freaks that were here before?" Dash asked.
"they… went to… get help?" Danny said, making it sound more like a question than an answer.
"well, we better be off, bye mini me." Danny said as he and the others disappeared.
A stomach growling was heard and everyone turned to Kirst.
"I SAID I WAS HUNGRY!" Kirst told them.
"well, since the others aren't back, let's look for food." Danny suggested.
"I thought ghost and things like them didn't eat." Star said.
Everyone went dead silent.
"Kirst likes to eat." Kelly said.
Everyone went into the kitchen with Roxy and Fungus following close behind. The sat down at the table and brought up extra chairs while the ghosts/Fregher/Freghe's floated.
"so, how come you can change forms?" Danny asked as Danny, Kirst, Kelly, Ryan and Gregg entered the room in their human form.
"well, I should just tell you my life story but the shortest version.
"I was born nothing, just a blob. When I was 2 months old, my mother died and all her powers entered my body, I could now do what she was able to do. I could take the form of a shadow. I am part ghost and part of me is my mother but I was not half ghost to start with.
"I became half ghost when I was following strangers. I was following strangers because I wanted to learn more about the town and its citizens. First I went to Casper High school because I wanted to see what human high schools were like; I came from a planet unknown to man.
"when I was younger, I was psychic. When I turned half ghost, it got shocked out of Me. anyway, I saw this certain teenaged boy and my senses said that something was going to happen to him, something that would change his life.
"of course, I was curious so I followed him home. I disguised myself as his shadow. He entered a portal and I was still his shadow so basically, I got shocked when he did, I turned half ghost when he did." Fungus explained.
"YOU WERE STALKING ME?" Danny yelled, before he realised what he said.
"no, I was not stalking you; I was seeing what fun I could find." Fungus said.
"Is your real name Fungus?" Mr Lancer asked.
"well, kinda. People call me Steph or Stephantom but my friends call me Fungus." She explained.
No body responded right away. Danny seemed deep in thought.
"are you that ghost who told us that we were going the wrong way? you know, in the past?" Danny asked.
"yep." Fungus answered truthfully.
"right. But, I'm just curious, why were you a lizard and backed in the corner, doing nothing?" Ryan asked Fungus.
Fungus sighed and looked around to see that everyone was paying attention. She didn't like to repeat herself, it was very annoying. She tucked her fringe behind her ear and began to tell them.
"well, this morning Ryan, Gregg and I went into town. Sam, Kirstyn, Kelly and Valerie didn't want to come and Danny is ALWAYS busy. Tucker always helped him too so; I was stuck with the boys. I would've asked Roxy but she had to go home to visit her family.
"anyway, we went to this nice restaurant and I got some nice Caesar salad and cheese as a side dish. I ate up the Caesar salad but was quite full but the cheese looked so nice, I decided to finish it off. The cheese tasted horrible, like too much vegemite, it tasted like vegemite by itself, a spoonful.
"about three minutes later, I couldn't control my body. Soon, I turned violet, the colour I go whenever someone controls what shape I turn into. Usuba then came over to me, she hates me because I quit working for Vlad, I ran off as fast as a lizard could but she continued to follow. Soon, I was backed up against the wall at the Nasty Burger so Ryan and Gregg got help. Later, we found out that Vlad spiked my cheese." Fungus explained.
Danny and Kelly watched as mists escaped their mouths, telling them that a ghost was near and that it wasn't Fungus. Kirst, Gregg and Ryan had obviously sensed the ghost too since they looked around.
A swirl of orange smoke appeared behind Mr Lancer, Dash, Kwan, Star, Paulina, Mikey, Sam, Tucker and Valerie. A male ghost was seen and recognised when the smoke had cleared.
"BOB?" yelled the adults, not including Mr Lancer.
"IT'S THAT HIPPIE HOBO DUDE!" Paulina realised.
"YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT?" Danny asked.
Bob was still young so that meant he was from the present, like the teenagers.
"Hi Bob!" Fungus said.
"Not YOU again! Please, spare my life, I don't want to SEE you again, it was hard enough last time, you are SOOO annoying!" moaned Bob.
Everyone started laughing, ignoring the annoyed look on bob's very ugly face. his face went bright read and he roared liked a dragon.
"SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" he roared, his voice echoing throughout the room.
Everyone instantly shut their mouths and looked at Bob who was taking deep breaths, obviously trying to calm himself down.
"what is a young lad like you doing in a world where you don't belong?" Roxy asked Bob.
"that is NONE of your business, I'm just uh… checking up?" Bob said, cupping a hand over his right ear.
Why is he cupping his hand over his ear and WHY does he raise his voice and lower his head like he is… maybe he IS talking into a microphone or something, a communicator… thought Danny.
Bob disappeared and everyone heard Kirst's stomach rumble once more. She smiled at them and they rolled their eyes at her.
"you can go and get something to eat, unfortunately, the only thing in the fridge is cheese, I'm sorry, I hope you like cheese." Danny said.
"yep, cheese is fine, I like most food." Kirst informed him.
"I know, I just wasn't sure if you felt like cheese." Danny told her.
Kirst opened the fridge door and got out the plate with cheese on it. She turned around and put it on the table, noticing that everyone had left. she shrugged her shoulders and broke off a small bit of the cheese. She shoved it into her mouth and chewed.
Woah, this is quite nice! Kirst ate the rest of the cheese and licked her lips. She licked her fingers and wiped them on the back of her skirt and walked out of the kitchen to see no one was in the lounge room.
"hello? Anyone? Where are you?" Kirst's voice echoed through the lounge room.
When there was no reply, she grew suspicious. She saw a piece of paper on the end table beside the couch and picked it up, noticing that it had her name on it.
Sorry that we aren't here, something came up and everyone REALLY wanted to go see the new mall… anyway, we shall be back, I thought you might like to explore by yourself, we will bring dinner, love Danny (future).
Kirst sighed and put the note back on the table. She headed down into the lab to see how much it had changed when she felt a tingle inside her stomach. She closed her eyes and listened for any odd noises, hearing the sound of drums coming from her stomach.
"what is THAT?" Kirst asked no one in particular.
She got no answer, even though one wasn't expected. She gasped as she felt herself growing small. She looked down at her body which now looked like an ant. She saw a crumb of bread on the floor and it was… BIGGER THAN HER!
"WHAT'S GOING ON? I CANT DO WHATEVER I AM DOING, NO FREGHER CAN!" cried Kirst in a very squeaky, high pitched voice.
Her senses went off and her Fregher powers told her that it was a ghost. suddenly, the male ghost who appeared in the kitchen ten minutes before, also known as 'Bob'. Beside him was another ghost, this one female. She had floor length, brown hair and wore dark blue jeans and a pale blue singlet.
The female picked up Kirst who was an ant while Bob put a note on the table of the lab. Bob held onto the female who held onto Kirst and they teleported away. These ghosts had a different sort of teleportation, it was blinding.
They appeared in a room and Kirst rubbed her eyes with two of her legs but still saw spots. Eventually, her sight cleared and she saw two black boots. She could hear two voices above her and listened carefully, trying to figure out what was happening.
"you completed the task?" one of the voices asked.
"yes, my sir, I have completed the task that you have assigned me." spoke someone who Kirst recognised as Bob.
"you left the note?" the voice sounded familiar but Kirst just couldn't remember who it was, it sounded like an old…
"VLAD?" she squeaked.
Her voice must've been pretty loud for an ant because the two men (or ghosts) looked down at her form. She was correct, one was Vlad and the other was Bob.
"well, she's a smart pickle." Vlad said sarcastically.
"I DON'T LIKE PICKLE!" yelled Kirst, insulted.
"well, touch cookies." Vlad said and continued his 'interesting' conversation with Bob.
Kirst began to ignore them and wondered about the room, looking for any holes that she may be able to crawl through. She had noticed that she couldn't use her powers, a side affect of becoming an ant.
Hmm, I am small and I'm an ant, great. But how… wait a minute, Fungus got turned into a lizard because… OH MAN, THE CHEESE?
"YOU SPIKED MY CHEESE!" Kirst accused Vlad and Bob.
"why, yes I did, I did a good job too. You are part of my plan, to become RULER OF THE GHOST WORLD AND THIS WORLD! -" coughs "- uh, you didn't hear that…"
"sir, I believe I should be leaving the delicate old man with his little ant, thank you for letting me prove my loyalty to you once again." Bob said as he disappeared.
"wow, he's right, you ARE old." Kirst commented.
"shut it!" Vlad snarled.
"how long will I be an ant?" Kirst asked.
She felt the same tingling feeling in her stomach. She closed her eyes and reopened them a minute later. She was back to her normal height and form and she floated a little above the ground. "well, that answers my question."
"get some rest, tomorrow you have a task. Don't try to escape, NO ONE can escape THIS room." Vlad told her.
He walked out of the room and a door slammed shut behind him. Kirst ran to the door which soon disappeared and began pounding her fists on the wall. She slid to the ground and her eyes began to fill with tears.
What if they don't find me? I will be all alone.
She let the tears slowly trickle down her cheeks, thinking about being all alone. Vlad was more powerful than her; she wouldn't be able to face him alone, especially when he was older.
Surely they would notice I'm missing… won't they? Kirst asked herself. She should've not eaten that cheese, especially after what happened with Fungus.
When I get out of here, I will NEVER eat cheese again… that's IF I get out of here. Kirst looked around the room. She saw a door at the far wall and climbed to her feet. She ran over to the door and pulled it open, her face sinking when she noticed it was a bathroom.
She looked behind her and saw a small fridge, a bed, a couch and a television. On the TV was a note that Kirst grabbed and read aloud.
"Dear young Kirstyn Fenton, this TV is a device I use to spy on you and Daniel and everyone with. You may use it if you want, from uncle Vlad. Why that HORRID man!" Kirst cried, collapsing onto the couch.
She couldn't resist it. She grabbed the remote that was lying next to her and looked at the buttons. Soon, she found the one that she was looking for and pressed it. The TV flickered on and Kirst stared at the screen, letting the remote fall from her hands.
