Chapter 2: A Bad Day...

Later that day while Tucker, Danny, and Sam were going back to Danny's place, they kept thinking about the incident at the movie theater. Danny felt strange about the whole thing. They all walked in silence, thinking about it.

" Hey, Danny," greeted his older sister, Jazz, once they got back to the house. She had been sitting on the front steps reading a book when they walked up.

" Hi," he answered.

" You rushed out pretty quick this morning. We all barely saw you."

" Sorry. I had to rush over to Sam's, and I didn't want to stop and chat."

" What was the problem?"

" Um...nothing too serious," lied Danny.

" Come on, you can tell me."

" Don't worry about it."

Danny walked past her and was about to turn the doorknob when Jazz spoke again.

" Does it have something to do with ghosts?"

Danny stopped, turned around to face her and sighed, knowing he couldn't keep this a secret from his sister any longer.

" Yes," he answered.

" So tell me what's wrong ."

Danny and his friends sat down around Jazz on the stepsand told her about Danny's latest dream, and about the sudden attack at the movie theater.

" Wow," she said.

" Yeah," said Danny.

" So what are you guys going to do?"

" We don't know," answered Sam. " There's not much we can do. Danny's newest dream could mean something, but it could just be another dream. If we could find something out about it, it could maybe make some of this stuff easier."

" Yeah, and we can't prevent anymore ghost attacks," Tuck chimed in. " I highly doubt that that ghost-worm was just something random. If he came out to attack Danny, then there are probably going to be other attacks too. Nothing we can do but wait."

Danny nodded.

For a few moments, the four teens sat in silence not exactly knowing what to say. Then, Jazz decided to speak up.

" Well, what can we do now?" she asked.

" I don't know," sighed Danny. " Nothing seems to be going well today."

Jazz put a comforting hand on her brother's shoulder. " Don't worry, I'm sure it'll all get better."

That's when Danny's ghost sense went off.

" More ghosts? Already? But we just got done defeating one at the movie theater!" complained Tucker.

Danny stood up while turning into a ghost, not wasting any time.

" What do you want us to do?" asked Sam.

Danny didn't answer her. Instead, he flew out to the middle of the street. The others stood up on the stoop just as the ghost appeared infront of Danny.

" Beware!" it cried.

Sam, Tuck, and Jazz all rolled their eyes.

" I am the Box Ghost!"

" You do know there aren't any boxes around here in the street, right?" Danny asked him.

The box ghost looked around to see that Danny was telling the truth. " No matter! I will still defeat you!"

It was Danny's turn to roll his eyes now. He reached for the Fenton Thermos, pulled the lid off, and sucked in the ghost. Then, Danny flew over to his friends and changed back to normal.

" Well, there was just about no point to even changing for that one," said Tucker.

" You're telling me," said Danny.

" Why does he even try to fight you? He is a pretty lame ghost," said Jazz.

" I'm not sure 'lame' is a strong enough word for him," laughed Danny.

In the ghost zone, He was watching the whole incident again.

" Who even said he could go?" He questioned to no one in particular. " He even knew he couldn't do anything to the halfa. Why would he even go after him? I don't blame young Danny and his friends for their reactions to the box ghost's ramblings. Oh well. I'll be sending out someone who'll pose more of a challenge to him later." He started to laugh manically as he closed his small portal once again.

Suddenly, Danny started looking around wildly.

" Dude, would you mind telling us what you're doing?" asked Tuck.

" I thought I heard somebody," answered the young halfa.

" Danny, I think you're starting to hallucinate," said Sam. " No one else was talking but us."

" It wasn't talking. It was laughing," corrected Danny.

" Whatever. I didn't hear anything," said Sam.

Jazz and Tucker both agreed with her.

" Okay, well, maybe the movie theater incident earlier today has gotten to me," Danny said, making up an excuse. He knew he had heard someone else. He wasn't going crazy. Was he?

" Let's go up to your room for awhile," suggested Tuck. " It'd be a lot better than standing out here doing nothing."

With that, the four of them headed upstairs to Danny's room. Once Danny opened the door, he gasped.

" What's wrong?" asked Sam.

" My room..." he said absently.

Jazz, Sam, and Tucker took a look around Danny to find that his room was a complete mess. His bed was overturned, books were scattered everywhere, along with his clothes and dresser drawers. Danny walked in, not sure of what he'd do next.

" Dude, it looks like someone was looking for something," noted Tuck.

" Gee, you think?" asked Sam sarcastically, slapping Tucker on the back of the head.

" You don't think Mom and Dad were doing something?" Jazz asked.

" Why would they do all this though?" Danny asked her.

" Hey, isn't your computer gone?" asked Tuck.

Danny looked and saw that it was gone! " Okay, I'm seriously starting to freak out. Who would come in here and ransack my room and then take my computer?"

Jazz turned around and walked out the door to her parents room, where she found her mother putting away some clothes.

" Mom, what's up with Danny's room?" she asked.

" What are you talking about?" Maddie asked as she turned around to look at her daughter.

At this point Danny walked in. " Someone trashed my room, and took my computer! You guys didn't see anybody come in did you?"

Maddie hurriedly left her bedroom, completely ignoring Danny's question and walked down to her son's room. She gasped at the sight she saw. " This is all really weird. Your father and I didn't even hear anything."

' Okay, how could they not? My room is a complete wreck and they didn't hear anything? Ghost or human, it would have to make noise if it was throwing things everywhere!' Danny thought to himself.

Jack came up behind them, " What's going on in here?"

" Someone trashed Danny's room," answered Tuck.

" I'll bet it was a ghost! Hurry kids, go downstairs where you won't be in the way while we search the area for clues!" cried Jack.

The kids all looked at eachother before turning and going downstairs to sit in the family room.

" Well, do you think they'll find anything?" asked Sam.

" I don't know," answered Danny. " Even if it was a ghost, why would they turn my room upside down and then just take my computer? If that's all they wanted, it was in pretty plain sight the whole time."

Everyone thought about it. It was odd, but if it wasn't a ghost then why would a human do it? And why would they only go through Danny's room and no one elses? After a few minutes, Tucker suggested they watch tv to get their minds off everything while Jack and Maddie searched upstairs. The others agreed and they watched the television for several hours, having nothing better to be doing at the moment.

" Well, I think me and Tuck better be going," said Sam when another show ended. " It's already seven so..."

" Okay," said Danny. " I'll walk you guys outside."

Danny and his two best friends got up and walked past Jazz to the door and stood out on the stoop.

" Okay, Danny, we'll be here tomorrow. Tell us what your parents find out and let us know if anything else happens between now and then,okay?" said Sam.

" It's a plan," smiled Danny.

" Okay. See ya tomorrow," waved Tuck, taking off with Sam.

Danny stood with his arms folded as he watched his friends leave. After they were out of sight, he went back inside to sit back down next to his sister.

" So what do you think Mom and Dad found out?" asked Jazz.

" I don't know. They've been up there forever," he answered.

" Danny, you still look really troubled. Is something else bothering you?"

" It's these stupid ghosts!" he cried. " They were gone for two weeks and have now suddenly come back. But why did they leave in the first place? What was so important that they didn't feel like trying to torment people...or me? What if I was right and they are plotting something against me? What if..." Jazz put her finger infront of his lips to stop him.

" You're worrying too much," she said.

" Yeah, but I don't know what else to do. And I want to know what happened in my room today. And why is my computer gone? If they only wanted that, then why did they trash the entire place? If they were looking for it, it shouldn't have been too hard to find!"

" Danny, I know. I'm trying to figure that out too. I was here all day just like Mom and Dad, and I didn't hear anything either. It just seems really weird, and they'll probably keep getting weirder too."

" Exactly. Man, I'm just so...confused about all this!"

Danny rested his head in his hands. Jazz didn't know what else to do for him right now so she put a comforting hand on his back. Suddenly, Danny's head shot up.

" What?" she asked him.

" There's another ghost here!" exclaimed Danny.

Both Danny and Jazz jumped up.

" Okay, I'm goin' ghost!" cried Danny as he went from Danny Fenton to Danny Phantom. " If Mom and Dad come down and ask where I am, just make up some excuse for me."

Jazz nodded as Danny turned intangible and flew through the ceiling. Danny continued to fly up until he was on the roof where the ghost was waiting for him.

" You? What are you doing here?" he asked.

" I'm here to destroy you, Phantom," the ghost answered.

Danny then started to fly towards her. She smirked, strumming her guitar and watching the sound waves send Danny flying onto his back.

She walked over to him. " You don't look like you liked my song very much."

" You know, Ember, I might like the song better if it wasn't coming from you!" he shouted as he flew up and punched her causing her to stumble backwards.

She looked back at him, anger etched all over her ghostly features. She grabbed her guitar, turned the knob, and strummed another chord. Danny covered his ears, but the sound didn't get blocked at all! It sounded like the high-pitched wailing of every ghost imaginable! Ember smirked at the image on his face. It was filled with pain. This was easier than she thought it would be. Danny was just about to pass out when suddenly the noise stopped. Danny uncovered his ears and looked up to see what happend.

" Jazz?" Danny asked.

" Hey, Danny, I thought you'd like some help up here," she smiled.

" I was told your sister didn't believe in ghosts!" cried Ember who was tied up in the Fenton fisher.

" You were told wrong, Ember," smirked Danny. Suddenly, he noticed that Ember's guitar was lying on the ground infront of her and got an idea. 'It's what gives her her power! If I destroy it, then she'll be useless in a fight!'

Danny jumped into the air and started to fly towards it. Ember watched as he got closer and thought for sure that he'd finish her off right then but was shocked when he picked up her guitar instead.

" What do you think you're doing!" she cried.

" Getting rid of your power source," Danny answered.

Ember started to get angry again, and her hair started to flare up. Before Danny could do anything, she wrapped her hair around him and held him in place.

" Hey! Let go of him!" cried Jazz.

" Not until you let go of me," said Ember. She swung Danny around making him smash into his older sister, knocking the Fenton fisher from her hands so Ember was free again. Then, she took Danny and flung him hard into the ground onto his back infront of her. She unwrapped Danny from her hair and took her guitar back from his weak grip. She smirked at him before she hit another chord. She smile completely as Danny howled in pain.

At that moment, Jazz got up, rubbing her pounding head. At first, she forgot where she was; she didn't even realize what was happening to her brother. She looked over and saw Danny. For a few moments, she just sat there when suddenly she snapped out of her daze. " Danny!"

Ember stopped the sounds coming from her instrument and punched Danny in the gut. After this, Danny couldn't take anymore. He passed out and turned back into a human. Jazz gasped as she watched in horror. That ghost was going to kill Danny if she didn't hurry up and do something! But what? She tried to think fast but was steadily growing more frantic. If she used the Fenton fisher again, Ember would probably just do something similar to what she had the first time to get free again, and she didn't have enough time to go down to the lab and get anything!

" Finally, all that training has paid off!" Ember laughed. " Now I can finally rid the world of you. Then, there'll be no one to stop any of us from taking over!"

Jazz had to think fast. What had Danny done? She thought it over quickly in her mind. He had taken Ember's guitar and that made her pretty mad. He said something about " getting rid of her power source." He was going to destroy it! Jazz quietly got up and snuck around behind the ghost-pop star.

" And now to finish you off!" cried Ember.

Before she could do anything, she felt her precious instrument being ripped from her grasp! She spun around to find the halfa's sister ready to smash the guitar to pieces.

"Did you not see what I did to your brother? What makes you think I wouldn't do the same to you?"

" Nothing. But I don't think you'll be able to save your guitar this time," Jazz smirked.

She threw the guitar over the edge of the house. Ember gasped. She looked back to the unconscious boy on the ground with a scowl before she started flying after her guitar. She was just about to grab it when she found herself tangle in the Fenton fisher once again. She watched as her precious guitar fell to the ground, breaking into three different pieces. Ember stared at it in shock that quickly turned to rage.

" This isn't possible! I'll get you for this you pesky little mortal! Do you understand me!" Ember cried.

Suddenly, she felt herself being yanked back up to the roof. Jazz instantly pulled out the Fenton thermos and sucked Ember inside. After that was done, Jazz ran over to Danny's side. She kept trying to wake him, but it was no use, he was out cold. Now all she had to do was take him back inside, but she couldn't pick him up! She'd just have to try her best. She picked him up by the arms, letting his feet drag on the ground and took him back in. When she got back to the upstairs hallway, she sat Danny against a wall and checked Danny's room. Finally, their parents had left; they even cleaned the room up. Jazz smiled and walked over to her brother to take him the rest of the way to his room. Once inside, she got him up on his bed and smiled. He deserved to rest. She'd tell about the rest in the morning. After giving her little brother a good night kiss, she walked out of his room and shut the door.

" She was so close. He surely would have been killed if his sister hadn't stepped in to help! We need to get young Danny away from his friends and family. We need to corner him when he's completely alone so no one can come to his rescue the next time. With all these ghosts bent on getting rid of him, it should take no time at all until one of them should succeed. Well, until next time young halfa."
