Ok, Danny figured, not everyone in the cafeteria were looking at the same thing.

Student's heads swerved around the lunch room as the maniacal laugh rang through their ears, not one pair of eyes landing on the huge ghost woman.

Danny's eyes went wide as he watched the levitating meat circle the room, coming together in a cyclone around the spectral being. The Lunch Lady's bun flew out and the gray hair framed her face, pupilles red eyes scanning the room. "Who," she growled, "changed the menu!"

Plates and bowls around her smashed and forks and knives dived at the students. Soon the room was in complete chaos, kids hiding under desks and fleeing outdoors, not making it far before the door slammed shut. "Danny!"

The raven haired boy found himself pulled under their table, his arm in Sam's grip. Above his head a set of knives were wedged in the wall behind him, he owed Sam one. Big time.

"Oh whoa," Tucker gasped. Danny tried to see this from his friend's point of view, with tables floating and food swirling in a huge tornado. Unlike the others Danny could see the culprit floating inside the meat twister.

Danny swore he saw Tucker drooling at the meat at some point.

The rest passed in a blur. Danny was pretty sure he counted three ghost bursting through the windows, throwing hit after hit at the lunch ghost. Under his table he could spot a familiar pirate hat and glowing hair, along with their new comrade with a motorcycle. The students all watched in awe and terror as the 'invisible' battle took place, seeing only the destruction left behind. But, silently Danny was cheering his friends on.

Ember and Youngblood worked together to open the doors to allow students out, while the other ghost worked his distraction. Soon the trio found themselves knocked into the flood of students. And Danny heard a few exclaims of the school being haunted.

Through the chaos he caught a glimpse of Ember waving her guitar and sending him a wink.

Thoroughly confused he followed the mass of people out the school's doors, fire alarms ringing in his ears. Danny looked around and noticed that he'd somehow gotten himself separated from Sam and Tucker.

Deciding to find them later he snuck around the side of the building, breaking into a run until he found the bleachers. Ducking underneath the metal seats Danny lowered onto his knees. "Ember!" He yelled in a whisper.

Glowing blur hair was the only warning he got before he was tackled in a hug. Danny awkwardly patted her back as she gripped him tight. "What were you thinking Danny!?" She pulled away, glaring at him.

"I know you know better than to be empty-handed! What about all the weapons your parents made? You could have gotten-"

"Em!" He cut off her frantic rambling with a grin. "Everyones fine, just a bit shaken. What, do you expect me to carry a gun around in my pocket?"

"If necessary!"

"Ember, be real," Danny chuckled. " What was up with that ghost anyway? That was a bit freaky."

Ember rana hand through her glowing hair, before she got a chance to speak a Danny found a parrot landing on his shoulder.

"Aye! Where'd you get to Ember! You left us hanging!"
Danny frowned. "us? Who's with you guys?"

Ember floated back and absently strummed her guitar. "No one that important, just a new," she took a moment to find the right word. "Comrade."

The pirate ghost chuckled. "More than a that ye know." Ember's face lit up and she growled at the young ghost.

"Youngblood! Shut it you Nimrod!"

Youngblood just laughed at his friend's flustered state. "Whatever you say m...my," he turned to his parrot, who sat on Danny's shoulder.

"M'lady, sir." The parrot said in a monotone voice.

"M'lady!" Youngblood shouted. "Whatever you say."

Danny soon found himself laughing at his two bickering friends, ghostly or not they were amusing. A few moments passed with their banter and the boy's parrot pecking at his hair that Danny remembered the first topic.

"So, who is the other ghost you guys were talking about?"

Ember turned to him, face still pink. "Johnny 13. He kind of tagged along."

She narrowed her eyes at Youngblood. "And he needed a babysitter."

The pirate gave an indignant squawk and swatted at her arm. "Don't tell him that!"

Danny grinned, and leaned back on his elbows. "You sure about that Em,"

The rock star ghost glared at him and he pushed the topic no further, not liking the idea of her wrath.

"Anyway," he said, " I got to get back soon. Sam and Tuck are going to worry." Danny then remembered something.

"What happened to that lunch ghost? Is she still around?"

The pirate was the first to speak up. "We took right care of her Ghost Boy." Danny had to wonder about that title for a while before youngblood continued. "Shes back in the Zone, serving meatloaf to the prisoners and stuff."

Ember snorted. "Way to make it simple. Don't worry about her Dano, just keep your eyes peeled, got that?" He nodded.

"Alright Babypop, See ya around. We got to find Johnny and get back, little pirate here needs a nap."

"I do not!"

And with that the two ghost took off into the sky, a skeleton parrot trailing behind them. Danny quickly dusted himself off and snuck back around the front, spotting him friends immediately.

"Danny!" Tucker ran up to him first with Sam behind him. Tucker handed him his forgotten backpack while he lead him to the front of the group of kids. "You gotta check this out."

Pushing aside students Danny could make out three glowing green blobs. Ectoplasm. "Oh man," he whispered.

"They don't know where it came from," Sam explained. "I bet this was a ghost attack or something."

''Theres no such thing as ghosts Sam!" Tucker said. " Your goth friends have corrupted your mind."

Sam crossed her arms, obviously angered. "Does this look normal! It's obviously paranormal!"

Danny was quick to step between the two. "Guys! Lets just let my parents figure this one out." He had to hold back a cringe at the thought of them blasting their guns at the sky. "We got the rest of the day off, lets use it wisely!"

The trio agreed to play Doomed at Danny's place, and hopefully miss the embarrassment his parents would cause when they arrived. The walk was short enough and they found themselves crashing onto his bed.

Three hours of video games later left three exhausted teens, the day's events taking toll on them. Sam and Tucker left shortly after that, leaving Danny alone in his room. He ignored his mother's call for dinner and opted for a shower. A hot, hot shower.

Red numbers blinked back at him rapidly. Once again telling him it was passed midnight. The teen groaned and rolled off his bed. He snuck out his door and down the stairs, as dark as it may be he's had experience sneaking around his house. He quietly made his way down to the lab, its warning labels yelling back at him.

He tiptoed down the metal stairs and to the portal, easily opening the lock pad.

He smiled at the glowing green mass in front of him, it's energy filling the room. Danny quickly gathered some gadgets and hooked them onto his belt, pulling his pajama shirt over the weapons. He threw on a pair of sneaker hidden in the corner and a light jacket. He stepped into the portal, making sure it locked behind him.

Glowing green islands scattered the green place, purple doors leading to lairs floating along side. Danny took a long leap onto the small island and slowly made his way to a familiar ghost's lair. Sometimes all you need is a midnight walk, or in his case a midnight float.

Danny smiled as he reached the island a few moments later, and knocked on it's door three times.

And sometimes all you need is a good midnight chat along with a book or two.
