While on their way to Amity Park, Kim Possible keeps trying to dissuade her boyfriend from believing in ghosts.
"Ron, you shouldn't believe Amity Park is a haunted town." She says. "Don't you have relatives living there?"
"Yes." He answers. "My cousin Sam and her parents. You met them on my last birthday before we started dating."
"See, Ron?" She asks. "Now, do you think they would live in a haunted town?"
"Cousin Sam would." Ron says.
"True." She says. "She would feel like home."
Meanwhile, at Casper High, Team Phantom, along with most of the other students, is waiting for the bus from Middleton.
"Will someone please tell me why are we waiting for them to arrive?" Danny asks.
"Danny, that's our chance to meet Kim Possible." Tucker explains. "And mine to take a cheerleader on a date."
"And my cousin Ron is a student from Middleton High." Sam explains. "My parents want me to spend some time with him."
"Wait a minute." Tucker says. "Are you talking about Kim Possible's sidekick, Ron Stoppable?"
"Yes." She answers.
"So, have you also met Kim Possible?" Tucker asks, saddened by the idea he's the only one of the three who still has never met the cheerleading hero.
"Yes, Tucker." Sam says. "And, honestly, she didn't seem to be all that. She looked more like a shallow cheerleader rather than a hero."
"Sam, you shouldn't be fooled by appearances." Danny says. "Many people don't believe me to be a hero, either."
"Anyway, I don't believe they would be friends." Sam says. "She's a cheerleader and one of the popular kids. While, from the last time I've checked it out, he was the team's mascot, the Mad Dog."
The bus arrives and the cheerleaders are the first ones to leave.
"Hi, girls." The techno-geek says. "I'm Tucker Foley, TF for Too Fine. And the man of your dreams."
"The man of my nightmares, you mean?" Bonnie replies and everyone laughs.
Kim recognizes Danny and Sam as they approach Tucker. "Danny? Sam? Are really you?" The other Casper High students are surprised that Kim Possible knows them.
"Kim?" A surprised Danny asks. "Do you remember me?"
"Of course I do." Kim answers. She would say more but Mr. Barkin interrupts her. "Possible, don't talk to the enemy."
"Enemy, Mr. Barkin?" She asks.
"Yes, Possible." The permanent substitute teacher answers. "You must treat every student of Casper High as an enemy. Understood?"
Kim nods. The other students leave the bus and Sam greets her cousin but Ron is too afraid to answer.
"Wow." Tucker says. "That Mr. Barkin is really powerful if they fear him."
"Sam, didn't you say your cousin was the team's mascot?" Danny asks.
"He was." Sam says, as confused as Danny. "At least the last time I met him."
Inside the school, Mr. Lancer introduces the teams. Dash Baxter, as the captain of the Amity Park Ravens, is making a speech.
"We're going to send these mad dogs right to the pound." Dash says and the Casper High students applaud.
"Now will anyone from the Mad Dogs answer?" Mr. Lancer dully asks. Ron Stoppable steps forward. "And now the star runner of the Middleton Mad Dogs, Ron Stoppable, or unstoppable as some call him. Not after Mr. Baxter says something about that, right?" Dash winks.
"This game will make us look like scarecrows." Ron says. "Because we'll scare these Ravens away."
This time the Middleton High students are the ones to applaud.
"Now let's hear the coaches of the teams." Mr. Lancer announces. "Mr. Barkin from Middleton High and Ms. Testlaff from Casper High."
"I've taken my team to more victories than you have taken yours." Mr. Barkin tells Ms. Testlaff.
"Well, at least my team isn't trained by a substitute teacher." Ms. Testlaff replies.
"Substitute teacher?" Danny and Tucker ask.
"Cousin Ron once told me Middleton High requires his services so often he's called permanent substitute teacher." Sam explains.
"I bet he should have interesting stories to tell." Tucker comments. "Too bad he won't be allowed to talk to us."
"Don't worry, Tucker." Sam says. "He'll visit my family tonight."
That night, Kim and Ron are walking their way to the Mansons.
"Ron, are you sure we're on the right way?" Kim asks as they walk through a street full of mansions.
"Yep." He answers. A few blocks later, he points at a big mansion. "There it is."
Kim is speechless as they reach the front door of the mansion. A butler answers the door. "Master Ronald, we were expecting for you. And who's this lady with you?"
"This is my girlfriend." Ron answers. "Kim Possible."
Kim is shocked as Ron is welcomed at such a luxurious place. Suddenly Sam's parents appear. "Ronald." They call.
"Uncle Jeremy. Aunt Pamela." Ron says. "It's so good to see you again. Do you remember Kim Possible?"
"Oh, sure." Pam answers. "We met at Ronald's birthday parties."
"But, where's cousin Sam?" Ron asks.
"Oh, she's at the movie theatre with her friends." Jeremy answers, saying 'friends' with a disapproval tone.
"Do you still remember the way, Ronald?" Pamela asks.
"Sure thing, Aunt Pam." Ron answers. "Kim and I will be down there."
"Down?" Kim asks. "Your Uncle mentioned the cinema."
"Exactly." Ron says and Kim follows him. They go to the basement, where Kim is surprised about the Mansons having a movie theatre.
"Sam." Ron says.
"Ron." She replies.
"Uncle Jeremy told me some friends of yours were here with you." Ron says.
"Oh, yeah." Sam says as she points to her friends. "These are Tucker Foley and Danny Fenton."
"Nice to meet you, Danny Fenton." Ron says and then changes his tone to an accusing one. "Or should I say Danny Phantom?"
"What are you talking about?" Danny asks, worried.
"Danny Fenton. Danny Phantom. Could it be more obvious, Ghost Boy?" Ron asks.
"Don't mind at him, Danny." Kim says. "Ron once suspected there was something evil about a classmate of ours named Josh Mankey just because his surname resembles 'Monkey'."
"Is there a Monkey Boy named Josh in Middleton?" Danny asks.
"No." Kim answers. "Ron is just monkey-phobic ever since the incident at Camp Wannaweep."
"Okay, Kim." Ron says. "There's a slight possibility I might be wrong about Josh Mankey but there is a Danny Phantom whose name is too similar to Danny Fenton."
"Ron, I've told you." Kim says. "There's no such things as ghosts. This is just a scam organized by this town to grab money from tourists and helped by pseudo-ghost hunters like the Fentons." She stops as she realizes she bad-mouthed a couple whose son is there.
"Kim Possible." Danny says with an angry tone. "I can accept people thinking my parents are a little eccentric for believing in ghosts but don't you dare to accuse them of such thing. My parents believe ghosts are real and, if you still don't know, ghosts ARE real."
"Sorry, Danny." Kim says. "But I cannot accept some people are capable to believe in ghosts. They're not real."
"Kim, he lives in this town." Ron says. "His parents are ghost hunters. If he says ghosts are real this is just another reason to believe they are real."
"Ron, there's no such things as ghosts." Kim says.
"Sorry, Sam." Danny says. "But I can't stay in the same room as someone who thinks my parents are scammers." He says and then leaves, part upset at Kim for saying those things about his parents and part relieved to leave before Ron found a way to confirm he's Danny Phantom.
"Are you happy, Kim?" Sam asks.
"No, Sam." Kim replies. "I'll go after him to apologize."
"I'll go with you, KP." Ron says.
Upon leaving the Manson Mansion, Kim and Ron bump into two boys.
"Tweebs?" Kim asks.
"Hi, Kim." Jim and Tim say.
"Mr. Barkin has sent us to be sure you wouldn't talk to the enemy." Jim says.
"I don't have time for that now, tweebs." Kim says. "I must catch up with Danny Fenton and apologize to him."
"He went in a motorized scooter." Tim says. "You'll need these." He says as he hands Kim and Ron their jet-packs.
"Thanks, tweebs." Kim says. "Now get back to the hotel."
"No way." The tweebs say as they put on their own jet-packs. (Hey, it's not so hard to believe they would make jet-packs of their own) "Either we go with you or we'll tell Mr. Barkin you've met Casper High students."
She accepts their demands and puts on her helmet (Let's just say the tweebs brought helmets) to go after Danny.
"Sam, you should buy these for us." Tucker tells his goth friend as they see Team Possible departing.
When Kim, Ron and the tweebs see Danny, he's still upset.
Stupid Kim. He thought. She thinks she's all that because she doesn't need ghost powers but she's not. I need something to take my anger on. Skulker phases from the street in front of him. Perfect. "What do want now, Skulker?"
"The usual, whelp." The robotic ghost says. "Hang your pelt at my wall."
Kim, Ron, Jim and Tim make disgusting expressions upon hearing that from a spot where they've landed without being seen. What they see later surprises them even more. Unaware that he was being watched by Team Possible, Danny Fenton makes two white rings appear and turn him into Danny Phantom. Even Ron, who already suspected it, is shocked.
This chapter became longer than I've originally intended. Will anyone try to guess which villain I'll introduce next chapter? Please R&R.
