Chapter 2

The trio were walking down the hallway from their lockers to the next class. They were in the same class and were heading towards English class, which was obviously taught by Mr. Lancer, hoping that the bell would wait for them to reach the class first.

"See nothing bad happened." Tucker said to his friends as they walked into the class just before the bell rang for the second time. Suddenly, Danny gasped as a thin stream of icy cold vapor wafted from his mouth. Sam scowled.

"Oops, I said it too soon right?" Tucker asked.

"Yes you said it too soon Tucker." Sam confirmed while Danny walked up to Mr. Lancer's desk.

"Uh Mr. Lancer, may I use the bathroom?" Danny asked.

"Mr. Fenton, may I ask you why did you not go before the class starts?"

"Uh, I... uh...-" Danny began to speak.

"I don't need excuses Mr. Fenton. You may go to the bathroom later after this class ends."

"But Mr. Lancer this is an emergency! I have to go now!" By this time, the classroom was full of stifled giggles. Mr. Lancer sighed.

"Fine Mr. Fenton, you may leave. But this is the last time I'll let you go. Next time go either before class or after class..." Danny never heard the end of Mr. Lancer's speech; he had already run out into the hallway after Mr. Lancer finished his first sentence. He hid in a janitor's room and transformed. Two white rings appeared at his waist before traveling in the opposite direction, changing him into Danny Phantom. Then he phrased out of the room through the roof and scanned for the ghost that set his ghost sense off.

It didn't take long before he finally found the ghost he was looking for, the Box Ghost.

Danny's POV

I sighed. I just skipped English class just for the Box Ghost? The next time this happens, I'll just wait for Valerie to show up instead. I don't think I would like what would happen the next time I tried go get out of the class. I thought as I flew towards the Box Ghost who is on the opposite side of the roof, next to the room containing the stairs, waving his big chubby arm around madly. Wait, something's not right here. Shouldn't the Box Ghost be yelling out his introduction?I stopped in midair about five feet away from the ghost and took a closer look at him. He was tied up with a glowing rope and his mouth was covered with a piece of glowing ectoplasm. My eyes widen at the thought that I nearly fell into a trap and instinctively took a step back. Then I noticed that the glowing rope that was tied around the Box Ghost had a small thin line trailing from the ghost to a corner behind the room with the stairs. I decided to turn invisible and go around the room to look at the person, or ghost who is trying to lure me into the trap. Speaking of traps, I think I have an idea who is behind the corner. I turned invisible and flew around to meet the ghost.

Nobody's POV

Danny flew around the corner and met Skulker crouching behind the room with an ectogun ready at his hand pointing at the direction Danny would have been at if he hadn't noticed that the Box Ghost was silenced with ectoplasm covering his mouth. Skulker had not noticed that Danny is behind him yet and continued to wait patiently, crouching as still as a statue.

"Hey Skulker, what brings you here?" Danny asked suddenly. Skulker quickly turned to face the direction of the voice.

"Where are you whelp? Today, I shall have your pelt at the foot of my bed. You shall not escape." Skulker said and raised his ectogun at the direction he thought Danny was at and shot green ectoblast.

"Eww, that is so gross! And for the last time, quit hunting me!" Danny shouted, dodging the second ectoblast heading his way.

"Turn visible and let me hunt you whelp."

"And have my pelt at the foot of your bed? No way."

"Fine. Then I'll have to use this." Skulker said and brought out his thermal goggles and scanned the area. Danny realizing that this battle would take a long time, decided to lure Skulker away from the school to prevent damage and flew up above Skulker where he is easily noticed and dodged another ectoblast, this time barely an inch from him.

"Hey Skulker catch me if you can! That is unless you're too rusty to follow me!" Danny taunted and flew away from the school towards the edge of the city. Skulker activated his jet and chased after him.
