With Señor Uhl stuck inside the bathroom and glued to the toilet, courtesy of Toby's half-eaten Diablo Maximum Breakfast Burrito, the students wasted no time in escaping from the classroom and taking over the school in such a way that they would have never been allowed to during typical school hours. For the juniors this meant skating up and down the hallways on roller skates and bicycles, posing in front of the backstage mirrors of the drama club, making a mess of the library as they read, drinking from the golden trophies and scaring each other with the mascot head. There hours whittled away with laughing at the past year books, messing around on stage, stacking furniture on top of each other and just all around messing around like the kids they were.

For Dan, the first thing he did was go out to his van and free an overly energetic Cujo from its confines before they set off to find a few of the ghostly occupants of the school building to hang out with. Dan almost always found it hard to talk to people, whether they were his peers, his elders or his juniors it was just something he couldn't do. It often felt like trying to stuff the square block into the circular hole; no matter how hard you tried it just wouldn't go. Of course, somehow this never really played a role when he talked with the dead, maybe because he felt that the dead weren't as judge as the living or maybe because he felt that the dead just didn't care.

Breaking into the cafeteria was far easier than it should've been and the padlocked fridge, even more so and like a moth to a flame, the ghosts began to appear—some he'd known in Amity Park and others he'd met here, in Arcadia. One in particular, a blue-haired rockstar by the name of Ember, had become a close friend after the whole phantom planet episode and as Danny had morphed into Dan, leaving behind the childlike beliefs of a black and white world. When he thought back on his ventures as Danny Phantom, Dan often thought that the other ghosts did what they did to humour him instead of actually meaning to cause harm. There were some who actually meant to cause harm, but mostly they just left him alone which explained why whilst they knew about his alter ego, never actually took proper advantage of it.

"Hey, Danny boy!" Ember sang, strumming on her guitar as she sat perched atop the kitchen counter. "You ready to rock?" Unlike what Dan had been led to believe when he was younger, Ember didn't actually need people to chant/sing her name to gain power; it was more so the fact that they sang her songs which did so. That didn't mean a lot of her songs didn't include her own name, because they did, but it was nice to shake things up and let loose once in a while. The greenette spared a grin towards the expectant bluenette as the kitchen became illuminated in the bright glow of her groupies (ghosts that weren't strong enough to form a corporeal form beyond the Ghost Zone) and the sound of music filled the room.

Dan wasn't exactly what you would call a 'star performer', his voice far too pitchy and his self consciousness far too prevalent, but that didn't mean he couldn't act the fool now and then. Something as simple as dancing and singing along to a catchy tune with friends did wonders for the halfa.

Dancing around the kitchen with a packet of thick loaf of bread in one hand, a jar of spreadable ectoplasm in the other and a dog on his heels, Dan sang along to Ember's guitar as the energy within the room increased just as the temperature decreased, not that it mattered to any of the occupants inside. Dan could see his breath before him, but that may have been more to do with the other ghosts surrounding him than the actual drop in temperature.

He paid no real attention to his level of noise nor the usage of supernatural powers as he danced about, using a whisk as a microphone and sang his core out. Dan made real little effort to hide his ghostly visage from the locals of Arcadia Oaks, something which didn't particularly seem to be a problem for most. Sure there would always be a few concerned or wary heads that turned his way, but for the most part people just really kept to themselves.

Sparing a look towards the bluenette, Dan found her grinning wickedly as she jammed along to the song—one of the many that they had spoofed, parodied or just plain made up over the years since they had reconciled. Ember's hair (a signal about the source of her power) climbed higher into the air and danced like wildfire. A part of Dan was worried that it would set off the smoke detectors embedded in the ceiling above them, but it was unlikely that something outside of the mortal world (no matter how strong) could influence something like that.

Ducking beneath a low-flying orb, Dan made his way over to the sizzling pans where the bread lay frying in ectoplasm, toasting rather nicely before he added in a couple of eggs to the mix. Perpetually stuck between human and ghost as he was, Dan didn't really need to eat or consume as much as he once did, but at this point it was more of a hobby than anything else (plus everything tasted better with ectoplasm!). He was just glad that he wasn't eating weird things like Griddle said the trolls did. Who likes eating forks?

Reaching its crescendo, the song rose even more in volume if that was even possible. Absently, Dan wondered what they sounded like to outsiders or mortals. Had they switched to Ghoulish at some point? He knew the harsh and guttural sound of the ghostly language was hard on mortal ears, but most of the time they didn't even register when they switched between languages. If they did, it might've sounded odd to hear the jazzy song being played out in harsh Ghoulish in contrast to the mortal tones of the living. Sam often said that to her Ghoulish made it sound like he was possessed, which was rather ironic considering.

Some time later, Dan found himself playing fetch in the gym with Cujo as the juniors scattered themselves about, now tired from their day of rule breaking and fun. Behind him, Steve played basketball by himself, shooting hoops and making unwanted commentary with every shot as they others lounged on the bleachers. "...Ten seconds—clock it ticking. Uh, dekes left, dekes right. Palchuck for the win!" Steve panted only to shoot and miss the hoop. "Oh! Jim fouls him! Boo Jim! Boo!"

"So is it true? Did you guys really steal Señor Uhl's truck?" Mary asked from where she lay along the bleachers, nibbling at the box of popcorn in front of her.

"Technically, we didn't steal it" Toby began, "We were just, uh...uh..."

"Yeah, uh were—" Claire stammered.

"—Guys, this town is a snoozefest" Jim interjected, clearly lying out of his ass. "Nothing ever happens here. What else did they expect us to do? Read a book? I mean, c'me on!'

"What about you, Mare?" Claire turned to her friend.

"My only crime was love" Mary replied dreamily. "Ms Janeth caught me making out under the bleachers with Tight Jeans Hank"

"Why would you make out with someone from our rival school?" Eli despaired as Steve flew overhead on one of the dangly ropes and slammed face first into the backboard at the other end of the room.

"He's forbidden fruit" Mary replied, chucking a piece of popcorn at the bespectacled boy. "You wouldn't understand"

"Is there anyone you haven't kissed?" Steve laughed.

"Jealous?" She scoffed, tossing another piece in the blonde's direction.

"What about you?" Claire defended Mary, "What freshman did you beat up to wind up here?"

"What? What makes you think I beat someone up, huh?" Steve retorted, now spinning the ball on his finger. "Ever consider maybe I'm not just a bully? That maybe I can be a good guy?"

"Says the student currently serving detention" Jim sassed.

"Burn!" Toby laughed alongside the others.

"I don't know why we have to be so mean to each other" Shannon spoke up for the first time that day. "Y'know, everyone goes through stuff, so we act out. Only reason we're here is 'cause we weren't smart enough to get away with it. We should be nicer—I mean, who're we kidding? None of us are perfect, the least we can do is be honest for once. Maybe then we can help each other out, y'know? Make this world tolerable"

"What're you in here for?" Claire puzzled after that endearing speech.

"Embezzlement. Apparently there are limits to my power as Student Body Treasurer"

"Hey! Hey! What about you, Masters?" Eli turned to the quiet senior they had more or less forgotten about during the day.

"Hm?" Dan hummed, glancing over towards the bleachers where the others were gathered, whilst he shook off the slobber-covered tennis ball and Cujo begged for it to be thrown again.

"What you get detention for?"

"Er, Cujo followed me into class" He replied, launching the ball towards the other end of the hall which was soon joined by said ghost dog bounding after it, much to the delight of the others there. "West is allergic to fur and puffed up like a toad"

"West?" Mary piped up, suddenly interested. "As in Emille West, the gorgeous French exchange student?"

"I guess...?"

"And you nearly killed him?!"

"I wasn't planning on it, no" Dan replied as Cujo returned in much the same fury as he had left, only this time the tennis ball was now firmly clenched between his teeth and soaked in drool. "Eurgh! How can such a tiny dog produce so much drool?" Dan murmured as he bent to retrieve the object of desire once more.

"Oh! It's almost 3pm!" Mary suddenly jerked upright when she caught sight of the clock on the opposite wall. "We better head back to class before Uhl returns!"

"...I only know lows! I don't know highs!" Steve whined as they collectively gathered their things (sans rubbish) and made their way back to the classroom. Dan pocketed the tennis ball and whistled for Cujo to follow him. It didn't take long for the detention class to return to the hallway in which both the bathroom and classroom sat.

"Where'd he go?" Eli despaired as they all bent to peer under the toilet stalls from the doorway.

"Quick! Back to class!" Mary agreed.

Running down the hallway, they barely made it to the turn before the classroom when another obstacle made itself apparent. Steve, who had been in the lead, was the one to call them to a halt flinging his arm up at just the right height to stop Eli from going any further and getting them into trouble. And just in time too, for there right in front of one of the air vents sat Señor Uhl with a carton of milk that he was gulping down like his life depended on it. Dan scooped up Cujo and slapped a hand over his muzzle in an effort to keep the pup quiet enough for them to slip to by. They could see the classroom from where they were standing, but it was unlikely that they were going to be to make it without going the long way around. "How're we s'posed to get to the classroom now?" Shannon worried as they practically glued themselves to the lockers.

"We can cut through the cafeteria!" Toby replied, starting to make his escape before Mary pulled him back.

"Wait—! Where's Jim?" Puzzled Mary.

"Jim's probably already there" Claire replied, "C'me on!"

This time it was Dan who led the way back to the cafeteria which had been cast into darkness upon leaving it earlier in the day. A few pots and pans remained in the sink, waiting to be washed and the stench from the rubbish bin would make anyone gag. Crawling through the dark was much easier for the elder boy if only because his eyes practically glowed and so when Cujo inevitably wiggled free at the same time Uhl entered from the rear door, Dan felt his stomach drop to his shoes as he hoped the Spanish teacher would completely miss his energetic and curious dog.

"Cujo!" Dan hissed from where he sat crouched by the end of a kitchen counter and peered around far enough to see his green dog happily sitting there in the bright hallway beyond the cafeteria. Although the door had slammed shut upon Uhl's arrival, it mattered not as Dan's ghostly vision allowed him to see through objects like it was x-ray vision, at least for a little bit. It wasn't something he was comfortable or completely efficient at using and so, didn't.

"Get down!" Toby quietly called from behind him as Uhl rushed for the fridge in search of more milk. The burrito really seemed to have done a number on him. "Oh! Oh! Oh! Milk! Milk! Where do they keep the milk? Ah-ha!" The light from the fridge illuminated the panting man, casting just enough light for the students to see by, but not before Dan took full advantage of the dark and slipped into his invisibility and intangibility like it was an old suit.

Once no longer visible nor touchable, the elder teen rose to his feet and quietly floated towards the closed door and the bright hallway beyond. Of course, no sooner had he cleared the cafeteria, did Cujo take off again likely thinking they were playing some sort of game of tag. "Cujo!" He hissed, floating after him. "Cujo! Come back here!" So intent on his task, Dan barely took notice of the battling trolls and the armoured Jim in the hallway, instead flying straight through them and leaving behind a trail of cold spots in his wake. Not that that was really something he could control, ghosts always left cold spots in the mortal realm, no matter how powerful they were.

Thankfully, with the help of a few underhanded tricks with the tennis ball he was able to get Cujo to come back close enough for Dan to scoop up the wiggling pup and stuff him inside his jacket, with his head poking out beneath his chin. Down the hallway, he could hear the sounds of battle just beginning to register and pondered on what to do. Before he could however, the sound of Uhl's berating voice echoed out overtop of the din and Dan was reminded of his urgency.

All around him, the upper half of the hallway was littered with a few of the orbs that had accompanied Ember earlier in the day. Ember had disappeared long ago, intent on making it to some music festival somewhere in the Ghost Zone, but not all of her groupies had gone with her. Coming across a few of the straggling orbs, his first instinct was to trap them inside the Fenton Thermos (which he did not have on him) before another idea came to mind. "H̴̛͖̺̜̻̺̾̀̉̏̅e̷͈̜̙͓͈͙̥̭̅̒̐͝y̷̢̬͌̑̊̒͜ ̶͍̬͓̦̫̻̗̲̯̋̃̃̐̌g̴̦͙̦̣͖̭̿̾̃͗͛̍͌̚u̸̲͓̐̈́̇̽̈́́͘͜ͅy̴̼̣̠̣̙͆̀̓͆s̴̰̙̤̮̩͖̉̀͛͊̂̌̀̚!̴̠̘͑̽̎͐͗̊̈̈́͝" Dan began, easily slipping into the muttered Ghoulish.

As luck would have it, Dan was able to make it back to the classroom mere seconds before the others did. Not enough time to return Cujo to his van (and he didn't trust his duplication to hold long enough to do so), he was forced to flop into a spare seat with green dog hidden inside his jacket. In the time it took for the others to get resettled in any available seat and appear as natural as possible (with Dan pushing Cujo's head back inside his jacket every so often), Jim—harried and windswept—had returned, snatching a pencil and sharpener from a nearby desk as Uhl slammed the door open, making them all jump.

"WHERE'S LAKE?" Uhl demanded, accusatorially pointing at those back in their seats. Dan just hoped that Cujo understood enough to keep quiet until they were able to leave.

"Right here, Señor Uhl" Jim replied, kicking the door shut with his foot. "Just need to sharpen my pencil..."

"I heard screaming and fighting. WHICH OF YOU LEFT THE ROOM?!"

"We didn't hear anything" Shannon was the first to lie, barely glancing up at the teacher least he saw the makeover she now sported.

"You told us to stay here" Toby agreed.

"...If no one is going to come forward" Uhl prowled amongst the desks with arms crossed and expression stern. "Then all of you will detention NEXT WEEK! Ah, Mr Pepperjack" He stopped next to the nervous nerd whose leg refused to remain still and eyes kept flitting between teacher, class and textbook. "You are a smart young boy with a promising future. Possibly no detention next week"

"Mmnn" Eli hummed, biting his nails as everyone waited with bated breath for the boy's answer.

"Who left the room?"

"...Nobody?"

"What?"

"You said we weren't s'posed to get out of our seats!"

"So, you kids think you can take me for a fool? Well, y'know what? I have proof! Come with me. Now!"

"Nngh!" The students groaned in unison as they reshuffled themselves so that they could pack away their things and follow Uhl out into the hallway where his 'proof' awaited them.

The proof as it turned out, was a block of lockers damaged beyond repair with a dead mole spray-painted across the top of them in bright red paint. On the wall atop the lockers lay a message written in oozing green:B̴̲̘͎̙̱̙̬̯̗͈̝̺̤͒̃̎̃̈̈́̀̂́͠͠Ȩ̵̝͙̫͖̻͍͈͐͋W̵̤͉̜̘͈̣̩̟̘̤̬̲̍̄̃͛̃̈́͜Ạ̶̟͚̐R̴͓̪̗͇̬̭̼̜̩̠͔̊͆̎̎͘̚Ḛ̵̛̜̱̘͓̗͓͈̜͋̈́̈̑̐̑͊̏̆͘͠͝ ̷̢̧̝̝̔̄͗͌̽ͅT̷̛̞̘̠̟̣̞̟̝̤͇̹͉̔̓̒̀̈́̾͐̕͝H̴̘̙̲͗͑̎̚͠͝Ë̴̜͇́́̓̀ ̴̨̢̙̭̯̰̰͚͖̓̇̈́͗̀́͐͆̊̌͘͜͠͝H̸̨̲͉̞̝̝̓͑̀̉̕Ą̸̻̘͚͗̏̇͋L̴̢̧̗͉̘̠̙͂̓̀͗͆̓̈F̸̢̧͉̱͕̥̖̻̹̣̗̯͂̇Ą̶̹͔̝̺͊̂̈̔̐̃!̵͉̦̱̭̰̟̩̰͈͊̊͑̕͜͝ͅ!̴͎̱̇̒͒̿!̵̛̟̯̭̯̪̪̭͔̆́̊Dan winced at the Ghoulish message, even though he knew the others could understand it; and to top it all off, the cold spot in which the orbs had created left the others littered with goosebumps and rattling teeth. Dan just hoped they brushed it off as paranoia or nervousness at staring possible punishment in the face.

"WHO DID THIS?" Uhl demanded, pointing to the masterpiece.

"Looks to me like a prank from our school rivals" Steve replied, really hamming up the indignant response. "I hate Arcadia Oaks Academy!"

"Probably Tight Jeans Hank" Mary agreed, barely glancing up from her phone. "He was pretty P-Oed when I called it off"

"I 'unno" Dan hummed whilst the trio of Claire, Toby and Jim smiled ever so innocently in a how-would-we-know kind of way.

"Very well, you may go" Uhl sighed, dismissing them much to their relief. So much so that Steve held no qualms about ruffling Eli's hair in full view of the others as they left serenaded by Uhl's upset gut, Cujo's muffled barks and their own laughter.
