Wow, would you look at the time? It's been months since I last updated. Oops! I completely forgot about this fic until about a few days ago, and I rushed to finish something I had started. If it seems sloppy at the end, that might be because I'm typing so fast that my fingers hurt.

I've discovered the concept of "planning ahead", so my notes are all organized by chapter. At least now I'll get some more updates in.

That's enough blabbering for one day. On with the story!

What an idiot.

Stupid, stupid, STUPID!

This is not Amity Park; people aren't oblivious.

Ugh.

Danny couldn't believe how dumb he'd been acting upon his arrival in Arcadia Oaks. On the first week alone he already was discovered. Some dudes in black even got a bit of his ectoplasm.

Jim is suspicious, which is great.

Danny laid in his bed in his apartment room, contemplating his actions.

His stupid actions.

Reluctantly, he picked up his laptop, (a gadget that was marked, 'Fenton', due to the reason his parents built it) and Skyped both of his friends, Sam and Tucker. Immediately, Sam answered.

"Oh thank goodness you called us. You promised you would three days ago!" Sam said through the screen, rather harshly.

Tucker then joined the chat, projecting his own face on the screen.

"What's up, dude?" Tuck said nonchalantly, "You okay there?"

"I'm fine, only I have to tell you guys something,"

Sam sighed.

"What is it now? Did you already slip up and create a problem for yourself again?"

"Uhhh…"

"Don't tell me you did,"

Danny rubbed the back off his neck. Tuck stared intently.

"Yeah?"

"Oh for the love of—"

"But that is not what I called you guys for!" Danny yelled, causing Sam to shut up. He calms himself down, and continued in a soft tone. "I found this weird place underneath the canals."

"What?" Tucker said, his face displaying confusion. Danny continued.

"It's filled with these creatures that look like multi-colored rocks."

Tucker exclaimed, "Multi-colored…. rocks—?"

"Yes, multi-colored rocks!"

Danny turned to Sam's projection.

"Do you know anything about them? In your goth books?" He asked her, expecting an answer. Sam only sighed.

"Danny, they aren't 'goth books' their dark fantasy novellas—"

"Do you?"

Sam groaned. "Yes. Just let me find the one."

Danny and Tucker waited in silence as Sam left her computer in search for a book that might hold the answer to what those creatures could be. After a while, Sam returned carrying a dusty, magenta book. Danny recognized it immediately.

"Is that the book we stole, uhhh, borrowed from Vlad?" Danny asked, feeling sheepish.

"The one and only," Sam replied through the projection. "There has to be something in here about those rock-like creatures."

Both Danny and Tucker stared in silence as sam flipped through the crusty yellow pages of the aged book. Her brow was furrowed in concentration. At last, when it felt as though Danny couldn't wait much longer, Sam muttered, 'Aha!' To herself and stopped at a [age near the end of the book.

"Behold," Sam said as she turned around the book for Danny and Tucker to see, (which difficulty since the book was a rather large one) "Trolls!"

Danny's eyebrows shot to the roof.

"Trolls? I guess that explains 'Trollhunter'..."

Sam's looks said it all.

"Danny! Did you just say Trollhunter?"

"Umm…. yes?"

Sam allowed a gasp to exit her mouth as she got up from her chair and scurried around her room frantically for something. Danny wasn't sure what. Since the internet was slow, her image appeared everywhere on the screen, lagging due to her frantic behavior.

"What's your problem?" Tucker said to Sam, annoyed. Danny wondered that too. She was going crazy.

After an eternity of watching Sam have a spasm, she returned, with another book. This time, it was bound with leather like deep umber, inscribed with the words, "Blues and Blacks". Her magenta book laid in front of her, forgotten for the moment.

Danny raised an eyebrow.

"I got this at the Skulk and Lurk after about a month of putting it on hold," She explained, displaying the cover to the screen. "It's a journal kept by a Russian dude who goes by the name of 'Fedin Lovinsky'. It's a translated copy, but it almost completely like the original. It's been at the Skulk and Lurk for more than 100 years."

Tucker frowned at the book.

"Is there a digital copy?"

"Ignoring that!" Sam replied, taking a seat in her chair. She gently opened the book, and flipped through the pages.

"And?" Danny asked impatiently. He inched closer to the screen at Sam's image, probably appearing like a blown up balloon, but Danny didn't care.

Sam's brows once again furrowed in concentration, as she repeated the earlier process of skimming pages. She didn't seem to be having any luck, as she flipped through the journal twice before setting it down in defeat.

"The reason I got this book was because I remembered a page that said something about a 'Trollhunter'. A human one. But it's not in there."

"Maybe you have the wrong book," Tucker said. Sam shot him a glare through her camera. Ticker withered underneath her rage. "But you don't, do you?"

Danny laughed internally.

"No! It's the right book,, I'm sure of it!"

Danny cut in.

"It's okay Sam. We'll find it eventually," Danny yawned. "Besides, it's time for us to go to bed anyway."

Sam sighed. "Thanks Danny. Goodnight."

Sam disconnected. Tucker followed.

"Bye dude."

Danny glanced outside using his window, as the sun began to set in the horizon. He squinted at the sunlight, and turned away from it. It was eerily quiet, no cars honking or people out.

Danny smiled. It was perfect. He could go back to the canals to explore a bit more. Spy on the so-called, "Trolls" and the underground city. The thought both excited and terrified him. His heart raced.

He was going back.

Oh man.

Did you like Sam and Tucker's cameos? Sadly, they are not main characters, but that doesn't mean I can't include my favorite goth and geek! Be on the lookout for more cameos.

So, as you can see, I am really stressing the usage of books in this fic. Now we have a russian book called Blues and Blacks that made its debut in this chapter. I'm excited for this one too, as it includes a whole other story to it. It's making its way to Arcadia soon, but not how you think it is.

Sorry for the short chapter, I'm just caught up with finals and school ending. But by the need of this week I'll be free to writing this fic! Just one more week, and I'll finally be updating regularly again.

As always, please review, and see you next time!
