Danny looked through the fog surrounding him. He was growing suspicious of whether or not it was ghost related, but his ghost sense hadn't gone off yet.

"Dash?" He called into the fog. The two had been walking together when the fog rolled in, blanketing the forest in darkness. Whether this was something ghostly or not, Dash couldn't see in the dark. Even Danny was having trouble seeing.

"Daaash." Danny called again, looping back the way he came. He was hoping Dash stayed in this general area but he's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Danny just hopes he didn't go wandering further into the forest.

Lighting an ectoblast in his hand, Danny spun around in a circle trying to use the light cast by his ectoplasm but all it did was illuminate the fog around him.

Danny cursed. When they go back to town he was gonna talk to Dash about leaving his phone at home all the time.

He turned and was about to start heading back in the other direction when something firmly grasped his arm. His pulse spiking, and pulled back and started swinging, stopping just shy of the person's face when they started speaking.

"Danny! Danny, it's me!"

"Dash?"

Dropping his hand, Danny reached out blindly until he found Dash's shoulder. He pulled the other boy closer until he was enveloped by Danny's glow.

"Why didn't you say something before grabbing me?"

Dash threw his hands up in the air. "I wasn't expecting you to try and punch me!"

"I thought something got you! I'd been calling your name and you weren't answering!"

"What else would be out here besides us?" Dash asked.

Shrugging, Danny looked around. "I don't know, but I don't think this fog is exactly normal. I mean, we can barely see two feet in front of us."

"Well, do we just try to get home then?"

"We have to figure out where home is first." Danny squinted into the darkness. "We can't see anything to know which direction we need to head in so- Wait I have an idea! I need to pick you up."

"What?" Dash exclaimed, heat rising to his face. "Why?"

"We need to get above the clouds to see where we are. If we can find the sun or any stars or anything, we can figure out which way is back to town. I'm not sure how long it's been though considering how dark it is…"

"No! I've never been that high! What if you drop me?"

"Dash." Danny deadpanned. "I'm not going to drop you."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Dash sighed. "Okay fine."

Danny picked Dash up bridal style and started floating them upwards, turning intangible so they could fly through the trees. Dash shivered.

"I'm never gonna get used to that."

They flew up and up until they quickly reached the clouds. The moisture sunk into their clothes and flew around them until they finally broke free into an inky, black sky.

"There's… There's nothing here." Dash said quietly. "How is that possible?"

Danny turned, looking around for a sign of any sort of twinkle in the sky. His heart rate was picking up again when he realized there was nothing.

"What do we do now?" Dash whispered.
Danny cleared his throat and gripped Dash a bit tighter as he continued glancing around them.

"I don't know."
