Chapter 6
"That's the last patrol for today. Perhaps I'll still have time enough for homework." Danny said, yawning as he flew down to a small dark alley near the Fenton Works. He looked around and transformed back to human, carrying his purple backpack he had hidden in a small corner behind an old stack of boxes. Then walking back to his house, he paused at the front door. Slowly he opened the door a gap, and glanced at the clock in the living room. Seeing that he's still on time, he fully opened the door and walked in. He was suddenly greeted by a giant orange shape.
"Hey Danny! You should've seen us go ghost hunting today. We got to try the Fenton Ghost Detector! The detector didn't work, but I fixed it. Do you want to try it out?" Jack Fenton said enthusiastically, showing the Ghost Detector. Danny froze for a moment, thinking that he was doomed when Maddie walked towards them.
"Jack, don't you think there's enough excitement today? Perhaps you should show it to Danny tomorrow." Maddie said sweetly.
"Aww… Maddie, can't I show it to him today?"
"No, no, honey, Danny has school tomorrow and needs to finish his homework." Maddie then turned to look at Danny. "How was your research sweetie? Do you need any help?"
"Uh… the research was fine mom. I could handle it." Danny gave his mom a reassuring smile. Maddie smiled back. "Okay then, finish your homework and don't go to sleep late. I've been hearing from Mr. Lancer that you've been taking naps in class."
"Okay mom." Danny said and ran up the stairs. 'I've gotta stay more awake in Lancer's class before mom decides to check if I'm asleep at night.'
"Wow! This is one of the few times I've ever had time enough to finish my homework. I wonder where all the ghosts went… No matter, I'll just sleep while I can. I'll figure that out later." Danny said aloud to himself, rubbing his tired eyes. Suddenly he heard a familiar shout of 'Beware' and saw an even more familiar blue wisp floating out of his mouth. He sighed loudly. 'Just when I thought I would have time to sleep peacefully I'm interrupted again. I shouldn't have forgotten about the Box Ghost after the fight with Skulker. Now instead of sleeping, I have to chase the Box Ghost all night. I just hope I won't sleep in Lancer's class tomorrow.' Danny transformed and flew out the window, looking for the blue ghost.
"Beware for I am the Box Ghost! Ahhh-" The blue ghost shouted as he is sucked into the thermos. Danny capped the lid shut and look around his surroundings. The Box Ghost had led him on a merry chase through the city, drowning him in a pile of boxes from the nearby box store. He flew up into the sky and looked to the horizon. 'Oh no! It's morning already. I have to get back before anyone notice that I'm gone!' Taking another quick glance at the orange rim at the eastern horizon, Danny flew home.

At the Fenton Works…
"Jack, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to test the Fenton Ghost Detector, Maddie. And can I have a piece of Fudge? Please?" Jack said, making his best puppy look. Maddie sighed.
"It's in the right corner of the fridge, remember, save some for the kids."
Jazz walk in to the kitchen, "Good morning mom and dad, the school gave me permission to leave school early before the end of the year to prepare for university so I'll be home at around noon." She paused, finally noticing someone missing, "Where's Danny?"
"He's still upstairs Jazz. Could you please go up and wake him up?" Maddie asked.
"Okay mom, I'll go wake– DANNY! What happened to you?" Unnoticed by the older Fentons, Danny trudged in while they were talking and grabbed a toast, too tired to care that he hated toasts.
Hearing his name being called, he slowly looked up, dark circles showing visibly in the bright kitchen room. "Huh? What?"
"Sweetie, what happened to you? Are you feeling fine?"Maddie questioned him, placing her hand on his forehead. "No fever."
"I'm fine mom. I just stayed up late finishing the report." Danny yawned.
"Okay dear. But if you're not feeling well, just go to the clinic okay?"
"Okay mom. Bye." Danny said and walk towards the front door. Jazz also said goodbye to her parents and caught up with Danny. Knowing what Jazz is going to ask, Danny mouthed 'Box Ghost' and walked on without looking to see Jazz nodding in understanding. He walked out of the house, changed to his ghost mode after a quick glance around the front door and left for school. In his lack of sleep, he had completely forgotten all about his dad's new invention being fixed.
No one's POV
As the front door slammed shut, blocking her daughter from view, Maddie turned to look at her husband, again busy at his 'fixed' Ghost Detector. He frowned for a moment before his features turned into a surprise look.
"Maddie, the Ghost Detector worked! I Jack Fenton, had fixed the Fenton Ghost Detector and had finally located the ghost boy!" Jack's look was that of a kid with a new toy. Maddie, slightly interested, walked to her husband and looked at the green screen. The once empty screen now has a tiny green dot, moving away from the screen.
No reason to explain why I decided to change my Pen Name other than the fact that I didn't want to use numbers and I wanted to change the name and its easier to do it now than later. Sorry if it had cause some complications. Also, I would like to thank everyone for all the reviews you gave me and all the favs. This story had now reached 2000 hits, thank you to all of you!
