Thanks to The Gypsy-Pirate Queen Teetering on the Brink of Insanity Past the Point of No Return Man Life Sucks and dannyphantomfanaticandDxSshipper for reviewing!

If anyone thought I ended it in a bad place in the first chappie and just didn't want to say anything about it...yall are going to pull your hair out at the end of this one.

Okay, I'm telling ya now I stink at anything related to action. And a head's up that when I write sequels they are almost always nowhere near as good as the original.

Chapter 2: My Old Friends Found

888888888888888

That is if it was still standing.

I was walking down the street of Vina when I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Nicky!" I turned when I heard my name and ended up facing one of few people that got on my nerves here. Jamie Sanders was tall, blonde, and had ocean blue eyes. All the traits that indicated she would have been in competition with Paulina if she would have gone to Casper High. And the air-headieness would have pushed her over the top.

She had a shrill voice that came close to being able to break glass. We first met at a town meeting a few years after I moved here. I still didn't know very many people so I simply sat on the back row of seats lining the auditorium. Jamie pretty much invited herself over and began yacking.

Since then she pretty much thought we were the best of friends. She still got on my nerves though.

"Where ya headed?" she asked.

"I'd tell ya if it was you're business," I answered turning around to try and walk off. She grabbed my wrist.

"Can I go? I've had enough of this town."

"No, I have to go by myself. Now, goodbye!" I screamed. That outburst caused her to let go knowing that when I screamed I could just as easily reduce her to a pile of bones. I could feel her eyes on my back as I walked in the direction of the nearest subway. I'd be making an extremely long ride on a couple of subways, and a airplane or two.

After I got of the subway I got on a plane and landed near Amity Park. As I walked the mile to Amity I kept telling myself how stupid I was not to take any money with me when I left.

Entering Amity Park City limits I prepared myself for the worst. Imagine my surprise when I found the city twice the size it used to be. The buildings were huge. The transportation was of the future. And...

Every place I looked I saw Phantom's face. I scowled, not remembering my little debate in my mind about still being in love with him earlier that morning. I strolled over to one of them assuming it was a wanted poster.

My mouth must have dropped below my feet after I read the poster. It proclaimed the town hero was Danny Phantom and that he was an inspiring author that was going to have a book display, along with a proper induction as hero, this afternoon. Book display? When would he get time to write a book? An inspiring author? Proper induction?

"You okay, miss?" came a voice from behind me. I froze knowing the voice but not being able to place it. I turned around hesitantly and came face to face with a tall, handsome, blond haired man. I couldn't find my voice so I just stared still not being able to place the face or the voice.

"Well? Are you?" he asked impatiently. He sighed. "I guess you are. Anyway, sorry for rudeness but I'm in a hurry, so move."

"D. Where are-why did you leave me at the mall?" a Latina appeared around the corner and, even though she was now most likely twenty-five I recognized her as Paulina. "And who is this?" she asked pointing at me.

"Some girl who needs to find her place in the world," he answered bitterly. "C'mon, I'm going to be late for my game, and do you think you could've parked any farther." I watched them both as they continued walking.

"Sorry for holding you up, but what's your name?" I asked. The instant the question left my mouth I realized how foolish it sounded for me, some stranger, to ask the name of some other stranger so I added, "If you don't mind."

"Naw. My name is Dash. Dash Baxter and this is my wife Paulina Baxter," he replied as Paulina scolded him for telling that. They paid no more attention to me as they resumed their walking. I couldn't believe that I'd run into someone I knew from my past so quick.

At least it wasn't Danny I'd run into. I hadn't had time to prepare myself for that meeting. I still wasn't sure if I would be able to keep myself from plain out shooting at him. That's why I left my ghost hunting equipment at home. I wasn't even sure it still worked and the suit from ten years ago definatly wouldn't fit me.

But I still left it. The temptation would be too much.

Totally forgetting the poster, I hailed a cab and, to keep my mind off Danny, told him to follow the red hover craft that Dash and Paulina had gotten into. I figured the "game" Dash had been talking about was a football game. He was always star quarterback at Casper High and had most likely gotten a scholarship to play in college.

I looked out the window of the hover craft I was riding in. I was really amazed that ghosts hadn't taken over the city. With me gone, they had ten years to totally take care of this city and they didn't. Why not? And with Phantom still at large...

My thoughts drifted back to the poster I'd seen that proclaimed Phantom a hero. Had this town gone berserk since I left? So maybe he hadn't destroyed the city but that didn't make him a hero. We passed over a three story library, eight new banks, what looked like a brand new court house, and...

A brand new football field. I looked back as we kept going, then looked in front of of the craft and saw Dash's was still going. But not for long. He began descending to the ground beside a field that had all kinds of lines drawn on it.

The taxi craft carried me down as well. I handed him the money I owed and stepped out. There were people crowded around a boxed in area watching two people fight. Curiously, I stepped closer to see that one of the two people fighting was Dash. Then I noticed a sign that read Karate Spurs.

In smaller print it read, 'A Professional Game Played in Amity Park.' Well, this was the newest thing of all. There was a new sport? Hey, I'd have been good at it ten years ago.

What really astonished me was that Dash Baxter was playing; and he was good. I guess he gave up football or something. I noticed Paulina on the sideline shouting encouragement to her husband. I ended up not watching the rest of the fight as I began scanning the crowd to see if I knew anyone here.

When a buzzer sounded, my searching was interrupted. I turned back to the field and saw a ref. come out to announce Dash the winner. While this was happening, a voice sounded over an intercom system.

"Now that we have crowned the winner of this half's tournament, it's time for the challenge I always put out," The voice sounded so familiar. He continued. "Who out there is brave enough to fight our winner,and professional, Dash Baxter? Remember, anyone who defeats him gets to battle me. Not that anyone's ever won against our crowned champion."

The crowd fell silent. No one volunteered. I guess no one had the guts. I sure didn't.

"Aw, come on. We always have this fight. Do I need to pick someone out?" the voice taunted. After another minute of waiting he came back on. "Okay, I choose...that red head." I looked up startled. Everyone looked at me. When I put my finger to my chest the voice replied, "Yep, you."

I still didn't see anywhere this person could've been standing, but I did as I was instructed and stepped out into the ring. Maybe my skills weren't that rusty.

I noticed Dash's surprised look when he saw me. Apparently, he remembered me.

"Well, I'll go easy on her then, Mr. Mayor," he called. So that's who was announcing this stuff. The mayor? Did he actually think he could take down someone like Dash let alone someone who could beat him.

The countdown began. Everybody shouted, "5...4...3...2...1...GO!" A bell sounded to indicated the match had started. Dash started out easy as he simply swung his leg around attempting to hit my stomach.

Instantly, to everyone's surprise including mine, my reflexes jumped into action and I blocked it with a swipe of my hand. He pulled back again, ready to try another hit; this time harder. I blocked his hand from hitting my face and ducked to the left to avoid another kick.

Dash was angry that he hadn't hit me so with all his strength he lunged forward. I prepared myself and when he came within distance of me, I grabbed his closest arm and flipped him over my back. He landed with a thud behind me. I turned around to see him trying to get up. I hit his stomach with my foot, then seved a harmless punch to his face, and finally kicked him on the back after flipping him over which caused him to fall back down; for good.

The ref. came out to congratulate me. And so did someone else.

"In the two years I've held this thing no one has defeated the champ. I haven't had to fight one person. But that doesn't mean I can't." the mayor announced. Finally, I saw a tent where the mayor was. I guess I didn't see it earlier because everyone was standing in front of it.

Now though people were clearing a path to let him through. I gasped when I saw him. A raven haired, blue eyed man walked out of the tent. I really hadn't expected this. Maybe I was wrong about the mayor being too out of shape to fight anyone.

Danny?

Yall want yur sneak peak?

He made his way to the center of the field as I continued to stare. Sure, I thought I'd see him again, but not as the mayor on a battling field.

"Hi, you ready to loose?" he asked politely.

I smirked. After everything I'd been through with him, I knew his weaknesses. And even though I wouldn't be using an ecto-gun, I was going to take down Phantom. True, I couldn't kill him in front of an audience, but...

"In your dreams," I replied

Read and review. The more reviews the sooner I may update but expect one Saturday...oh, and I consider this a cliffie; I figured it's a pretty evil place to drop off but just to let you know...if you kill me you won't see what happens next...
