"Okay, we need to go home." Phantom said as he started to pick things up and pack them away. Fenton turned to him and gave him a look, as of he had two heads. "Before you say anything, it won't be for long. Just to get some more blankets and a Fenton Thermos for Walker and his goons." He gave Fenton a toothy smile in hopes it would make him feel a little better.
Sighing, Fenton knew the ghost was right. They needed more dry blankets after the down pour last night and since they weren't planing on fighting any ghosts while they were away they didn't bring a thermos. "Yeah, okay whatever." He answered, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting; reminding Phantom of a little kid rather than half of a hero.
Of all the times they chose to go away, why now? Why Walker?
"Hey, um" Phantom started, trying to think of the right words. "When we catch Walker, I'll make it up to you. A special night, just for you."
Fenton looked up to stare at his ghost half. Did he mean that? "Really?"
"Well, yeah. I promise a week or so with no ghost fighting; with Walker making that impossible I figured I'd own you." Phantom said honestly. He felt bad that Fenton hardly got any time, just like he promised and Phantom felt bad for breaking his promise to the raven hair boy. It was the least he could do.
Smiling huge, Fenton crossed over to give Phantom a hug. "Thank you." Blinking, Phantom smiled himself and hugged his human half back.
Letting each other go,Phantom said "Well, we better get going." Nodding, Fenton grabbed a hold of Phantom as they took to the air to go home.
When they got back to FentonWorks, Fenton went to his room to get more blankets and some more shirts since he was right there. Phantom went down to the lab and found a Fenton Thermos to take back with them. "Ghost!" Phantom nearly jumped out of his skin hearing his (Well, technically Fentons) mother scream as she spotted him. "Jack quick, it's the ghost boy and he's stealing a Fenton Thermos!"
Well this is just great Phantom thought bitterly to himself. He turned invisible and intangible before fly through the ceiling into his shared room with Fenton. "Way to alert the parents." Fenton said with an amused smile, to which Phantom frowned at. "Okay let's go."
"He went in Dannys room!"
"Let's go!"
"Phantom!" Fenton hissed, Phantom grabbed a hold of him, turning him invisible and intangible along with himself and their things just before he flew off back to their camp site. Letting out a breath of air he didn't know he was holding, Fenton glared at his ghost self as they became visible. "What did you do?"
"What do you mean?"
"Mom and dad were freaking out. Though, to be fair they always do over ghosts."
Phantom scoffed, "Yeah, your mom walked in as I was putting the Thermos in my backpack." As he landed, he placed Fenton on the ground. "Okay, how are we-AH!" Phantom yelped as he was hit with something that sent him flying into a tree. Groaning, he looked up to see Walker standing behind Fenton. "Fenton behind you!"
But it was too late, Fenton was hit with the same hand cuff rays as Phantom and was sent flying into the ghost on the ground. "Well, looks like it's my lucky day." Walker drawled as he approached the pair on the forest floor.
"You can't take him Walker. He's not a ghost." Phantom voiced, glaring as he vowed vengeance against Walker and all who work for him.
Walker sneered at Phantom, "I'm willing to make an exception. Just for you punks." He then reahced down and hauled both Fenton and Phantom into the air off of their feet. "Time to back where you belong." Both boys shared a look with each other, putting up a fight as Walker opened a ghost portal and walker through.

"I know I wanted to spend time with you, but I didn't mean this." Fenton deadpanned as he referred to the hand cuff that Walker put on his and Phantoms wrist, keeping them together. Apparently, the warden didn't trust them to be apart and thought they would be a bigger hastle. So he hand cuffed them together to keep his eyes on them both.
Phantom look to his human counterpart and gave a weak smile, "Could be worse."
"How?"
"I don't really know. Just thought it might be helpful to say." Other than being put to a second death, this was really rock bottom for Phantom. Seeing the look on Fentons face, Phantom added "Hey, we will be okay and we will get out of here. We have before."
"Yeah, but we were one person before."That response took Phantom by surprise, but the other teen wasn't wrong. They were one person before, it was hard then and Walker more than likely amp-ed up his guards and defences to keep prisoners in. Feeling tears pool in his blue eyes, Fenton choked out an apology about how it was all his fault they were in this mess and that he couldn't do anything right.
Phantom grabbed Fenton by the chin and forced the other to look at him, "Now you listen to me. It is not your fault. We didn't know that Walker was waiting for us there. Second, you do many things right, wanting to spend time with me isn't something to feel bad about." Seeing a tear leave Fentons eye and roll down his pale cheek made Phantoms heart clench, he used his other hand to wipe it away. Noticing that there were no guards around for the time being, Phantom placed a chaste kiss on Fentons cheek. "Things will be okay, I'll get us out of this. I promise, and this time I'll keep it."
Sniffing, Fenton gave Phantom a weak smile, "I know."
"Okay ladies, chow time." A guard announced from their cell door as he unlocked it. "I'd get moving if I were you." He warned, glaring at the pair sitting hand cuffed on the prison floor.
"Come on, let's go." Phantom whispered as he help the other teen up off the floor before walking out, Fenton not too far behind him. "What do you think the odds of running into ghosts we know are?" Just as they entered the cafeteria, everyone in the room turned their way, death glares and looks that promised physical harm aimed right at them.
"I'd say it's a great chance."
"I AM THE BOX GHOST!"
"Ugh, him." Fenton deadpanned, the Box Ghost was by far the easiest ghost they have ever fought, so he was no real threat. It was when all of their other enemies such as Skulker, Technus, Ember, and almost everyone else him and Phantom have fought.
Skulker got up from his seat and walked right up to the pair, eyeing them both before giving an evil smirk. "Well, well, well what an interesting turn of events."
