I do not own Danny Phantom nor will I ever unless I get Clockwork to change the time stream, which he will not do so... TIME IN.

Chapter 2

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The rest of the class watched as Danny repeatedly bash his head against his desk, wondering how he was not getting a concussion. Sam would of stopped him but after hearing the 'great news' she was using all her willpower not to let her eyes go green as she firmly glared at the chalkboard. Tuck would of stepped in too, but he knew one wrong thing could really set him over the edge, so he settled for watching his best friend try to break the desk with his forehead. Valerie simply didn't notice somehow and instead was pinching the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed and thinking a very colorful vocabulary that could make a sailor blush.

All in all, Danny's parents looked at their son in confusion while Mr. Lancer had surpassed confusion and had gone to slight horror. After what couldn't of been more than five minutes did Mr. Lancer have enough of the violent repetition of flesh meeting wood.

"To Kill A Mockingbird, Mr. Fenton! Will you please stop that infernal noise?!" Mr. Lancer said to the teen. Danny let his head hit the desk again before he sighed and lifted his head to his teacher, an annoyed look on his face and not a bruise in sight (which greatly confused the class).

Once Danny raised his head, Mr. Lancer turned back to the Fentons and gestured for them to continue.

Maddie and Jack might of cared more, but the excitement for the field trip cancelled out the worry for their son. The second Mr. Lancer motioned that they could keep talking nothing else mattered.

Despite his pissed off expression, Danny was worried out of his mind. Thoughts about what could go wrong flew through his head so fast it gave him a headache. He was able to catch a few things about what his parents were babbling about, but they only made him nervousness increase. When he heard the trip was going to be five days long his heart almost completely stopped beating. Eventually his parents stopped and asked for questions in which Danny broke out of his panicked state of mind. The panic was still there, just he was actually able to understand words now.

"You have got to be kidding me…" Danny whispered, his eyes wide.

Sam had been able to calm herself down enough so her eyes don't change and looked over at her boyfriend. "Apparently not. They are dead-set on this hell bound trip."

"She's right," Tuck cut in, "And we should all know by now that your parents will go through with this."

Danny put his head in his hands and groaned. "This is not going to end well."

Sam pressed her lips together. "It's the feeling isn't it?" They swallowed thickly when Danny nodded, head still in hands.

Tucker put a comforting hand on his best friend's shoulder. "Well, we'll be right by you the entire way no matter what. And we'll make sure we're so prepared, Boy Scouts would be impressed."

Danny breathed a laugh at what Tucker said and lifted his head. "Thanks guys."

"Besides," Sam began, "You're not in this alone whether you think so or not. We haven't left yet, and we're not leaving now." She gave Danny a playful smirk and crossed her arms. Danny took her hand and squeezed it, in which she returned.

Valerie hadn't started on the best of terms. She hated that she did. When Team Phantom got their newest member she had never been more excited (not counting when Tucker finally asked her out).

She had never felt more excited. Or more guilty.

For the longest time she could only think about how many times she had shot at her friend, wanted to torture him, end him. All the names she had called him and scars he had from her, after knowing the secret she wondered if it was the right choice. Yet despite the past, the others had been quick to forgive her, Sam taking the longest but after a few months (in which Sam forgiving anyone is rare) the goth had finally trusted her. Despite this, every single change she felt it was needed, she apologize in which they always smiled and said that it wasn't needed and that they forgave her anyways. They had her back and she vowed to have theirs while they faced this fuck-up world head on, adventure after adventure, story after story. She was one of them and nothing made her happier.

She couldn't of asked for better friends.

So when the Fentons came bursting into Mr. Lancer's homeroom/Senior English class and the field trip was announced she knew what she needed to do. She knew that Danny was going to be to worried to be able to listen, and Sam was going to be too pissed to, and Tucker was going to be too busy comforting Danny, so she quickly composed herself and listened intensly. She listened to every single detail, picked up on every pause and sound, she stored away everything. She picked on the way Maddie's right hand twitched slightly as if reaching for an ecto-gun whenever the word 'ghost' was said, and the way Jack's eyes grew more excited when asked about the mode of transportation (which he happily said was named the Specter Speeder 2.0). Every. Single. Thing.

When the Fenton's left she even took in the way they walked; Maddie with a bit more smug confidence in her step and Jack bouncing on his feet even more than usual.

Once the door was closed and she could hear the sound of the R.V. outside (which wasn't to hard to miss) did Valiere finally look over at her friends.

"Now, did any of you catch what they were saying?" Danny asked, "Because I only caught that it was a five-day trip." As Sam and Tucker paled slightly as Valiere chuckled.

"You're right about it being five days. We leave next Monday and get back on Friday." Val said.

"Wait," Tucker said, confused. "Aren't we off next Monday?"

Sam rolled her eyes and shook her head. "We had too many snow days, remember? So instead of postponing graduation and the last day of school they decided to have us make it up on memorial day."

"Oh yeah…"

Danny sighed. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that we're prepared. While we might be safe in the ghost zone, the rest aren't. We need supplies."

Tucker nodded and quickly had his PDA in hand, ready to type.

"Okay, there's about 15 people in this class, besides us, so we need at least ten wrist rays, fifteen Fenton phones, modified or not, four thermoses, or regular weapons should do but we'll probably need some for the class, and should probably bring some food and a first aid kit." Danny listed, "We can check on anything we else can as well when school lets out."

Tucker immediately had the list in his trusty device and nodded in satisfaction. "Sounds good dude, I'm guessing you and Sam are bring your own weapons."

Danny and Sam nodded. "I'll bring my first aid kit, it has the most out of all of ours and I'll make sure it's stocked up." Sam contributed.

"I'll make sure my suit is fully operational and let my dad know." Valerie said.

"Good. Tuck, this might be a good time to use UT-V5 too." Danny said. Once Danny said this, Tucker's eyes went wide and a smile broke out on his face. He did a small fist pump in celebration.

The UT-V5 was a suit made for Tucker. It was kind of like Val's suit but was more electronic centered instead of his girlfriend's weapon centered suit. He usually didn't wear it, as while it could retract back and forth as Val's did, it covered his lower right arm from the elbow to the wrist which would cause some suspicion. It was this that he didn't wear it much and because it took so much power to use. Because it was technology and electronic centered it was made of devices, much like Skulker's suit but not as bulky when it expanded. When Tucker was in the suit he could access any mainframe, hack any code, and it was built from the finest technology that Technus couldn't even get into. UT-V5 really stood for 'Ultimate Tucker Version 5' named by said creator of the suit, the techno geek himself (what would one expect from the guy who says 'that's Tucker Foley as in TF as in Too Fine'). There were technically four versions on the suit before the current one, but the Version 5 actually worked and did what they needed. As of about seven months had the suit been finished and Tuck's own alter ego was born, UT-V5.

Danny rolled his eyes at his best friend's victory dance that he was now doing. Before they knew it the bell had rang and they were up and out to their next class.

Tucker Damien Foley was one of a kind that was for sure. The brown skinned kid could get through any firewall on the planet, which he actually knew he could do after having to hack into the government system to fix evidence from a person who had been wrongfully convicted. There was only ONE that he couldn't get through...yet. He knew he was close though, could practically taste it.

Still, his skills had saved hundreds, maybe even thousands, of lives. And he knew it too. It was because of this hacking that his friends and him had every class together which greatly confused the teachers who specifically remembered splitting the four up.

Not only was he the greatest computer genius in the world, he was a math wizard. While everyone else would think that was bullshit since he was barely making B's in math, have they solved the remaining six of the Millennium Prize Problems? Didn't think so. While he wanted to rub it in their faces and show the human world what he could do, he didn't. He shoved his pride down his throat and kept it a secret, but he didn't mind. Just because the human world didn't know, doesn't mean the Infinite Realms didn't.

They were meant to work together, to be together, which is why Tuck always made sure they had the same classes and made sure his skills were top of the line. He was the techno geek, the hacker, the technology genius. They each had their self appointed jobs which they did to the best of their abilities. They were more than friends, they were family. And together nothing could stop them.

So Tucker always made sure that of that.

When school finally let out for the day, Tucker knew they are beginning to break apart, just as if he were breaking a code. In which he did the only thing he could think of to do.

"Let's get a Nasty Burger!" Tuck said as he smiled at his friends.

Right away the pieces of what was left of their sanity were put back together and they agreed, heading towards one of their favorite places to hang out in the human realm.

It was routine. And even though Valerie was fired from their years ago (long story involving Skulker, the Box Ghost, and a roll of tissue paper) the guy behind the counter waved and already put in their order, knowing it by heart.

Once food was served and they were sitting in their favorite corner they talked and Tuck could feel the walls around them build again. This was the only 'firewall' Tucker would make sure never falls down.

As Tucker smiled and bit into his third Triple-Mega-Nasty burger, Sam wrinkled her nose and chewed on a piece of lettuce from her salad. Tucker saw this and smirked to himself.

"Mmm! This is so good!" Tucker said, taking another bite, not even bothering to wipe the grease off his chin.

Sam wrinkled her nose again. "You know if you ate just a little less meat and more fruits and vegetables…" And they were off. The infamous meat vs. veggies scramble that somehow always left all of them in a good mood. For the next hour they laughed and talked about past adventures and random things. When Dani was mentioned, Tucker couldn't help but notice the look of fatherly love spread across Danny's faces.

"Well see her soon." Sam said softly. Danny looked at her and kissed her cheek in response, followed by a smile.

Tucker smiled too and put an arm around Valerie, to which she leaned into.

They were his family, and he'd be damned if something happened to them.

Thanks for reading! Please review and stuff! I was thinking of you guys answering some questions about future chapters to see if anyone wants to guess what happens! Just let me know!

I'll see you later! Byes!
