A/N: Sparky here. I've never seen an episode, so… don't blame me if this is rubbish…

The disclaimer… if I owned Danny Phantom I would have seen an episode of it, but I haven't, so I don't. Gah.

…when suddenly the bell rang for the end of school, and Christmas vacation began.

"Oh yes!" I yelled, and jumped out of my seat, the first to the door.

SHMOOF.

I tripped. Hey, who was surprised? Sam offered me her hand, but I shook my head and stood myself. Sam, Tucker and I were the only ones left. So much for first ones out! There was still a lot of talking from the corridor – more, actually.

"What's going on?" I asked. Tucker shrugged. I walked out. Everyone was just standing. "What's going on?" I repeated.

"Snowed in," muttered Jazz unhappily.

"Snowed in?" Tucker said.

"Oh NO Danny, what ARE we going to do?" said Sam, putting obvious emphasis on her words. Jazz caught on too.

"Yes, Danny, what WILL we do?" I caught on as well.

"Oh, I don't know, Jazz," I said, grinning, a twinkle in my eye, "But I left something in the classroom." I walked back in. Mr Lancer had already left the room. I turned invisible and ran out of the classroom, through the corridor, towards the door…

SMACK.

Ok, maybe I should have checked if the door was open first…

I couldn't exactly open it, so, I braced myself and attempted to phase through the door.

SMACK (again).

I'd turned visible…

"Fenton?" came a horribly familiar voice. "When did you get here?"

"And REAL clever, running into the door like that," smirked Valerie. I rubbed my head. What was going on?

"Danny!" yelled Sam, pushing through the crowd. "There you are!" Tucker and Jazz followed her closely.

"I'll explain later," I muttered.

"Oh, leave your boyfriend alone," Dash sneered.

"He's not my boyfriend!" snapped Sam.

"Yeah, riiight. ANYWAY. How are we gonna get outta here?"

Why weren't my ghost powers working?

"Sam, Tucker, Jazz? I need to talk to you." I struggle through the crowd to the classroom. "Look, I turned invisible, and tried to phase through the door, I didn't need to go ghost, obviously. But when I tried the phasing thing, I turned visible and it didn't work."

"Maybe you were tired," suggested Tucker.

"Or maybe you were excited about Christmas vacation," added Sam. As they contemplated this, I thought I heard something near the door.

"Shh, I hear something." They shut up immediately. I walked over to the door quietly, and looked round the corner.

It was Valerie.

She'd heard everything.
