Okay, EXTREMELY sorry that we're updating this so late. The last few weeks have been really hectic though, and the fact that the school year is bubbling down to finals doesn't really help. So, luckily this chapter is pretty long! Plus we have something else to make up for it! But...you'll find out about that at the end of the chapter. Enjoy!

Spirited Away Part 5
Somewhere Else: Morning
"Wherever you are, revenant, I will painfully pummel you into a pulp!" Super Danny exclaimed as he searched around the room frantically for the dastardly devil.
Annie looks on with the same unsure look on her face before crying out, "You don't have to do that now!"
Super Danny stops quickly before looking at her, "And why not? I thought you were in need of help!"
"We are!" Jill says quickly, giving a warning glance to Annie.
Annie looks at her, suddenly becoming frustrated before looking at Phantom, "Yes, we are, but not now." Upon seeing Phantom's suspicious face she adds, "I mean…" she stalls by looking at the ground, "…you can't just barge into her. She's really smart. You have to have a plan."
Super Danny looks to the side in thought, "Hmm…you're right. It will take a skillful strategy to beat this sharp-witted specter…"
Annie looks at him, relieved that he wouldn't attack right away.
That's when Danny decided to jump in, "I have a better idea!" The three look over at him, "How 'bout we go bowling? Better yet, let's go movie theater bowling!" He suggests with an excited smile.
Annie and Jill look at him with a straight face, but then suddenly Annie can't even help laughing along with Jill.
Phantom looks back at them, "What are you laughing at?"
Jill stops laughing enough to take a breath before saying, "Uh…the movie theater bowling thing? That doesn't make sense."
Fun Danny stops and actually thinks, "…Yea, dudes, I like, never even heard of that before and I have the sudden urge to go…"
Phantom looks back at him, "What? Were you dropped down the stairs or something?"
"Well…technically dragged-OW!" Jill exclaimed after being elbowed in the ribs by Annie. "What was that for?!"
Annie just glares, getting ready to elbow her again if she were to say anything else.
"Don't hurt me again!" Jill says, putting up her hands in surrender.
Super Danny looks on in suspicion before Danny breaks the silence, "…So does this mean we're going?"
Annie quickly looks at Danny and puts her arms up, "NO! Don't listen to anything she says!"
Danny just looks at her in confusion, "Uh…okay, whatever." He turns around in disappointment and goes back to watching bowling.
"How about we spend less time droning on about disadvantageous doings and more time devising a dependent disposition?" Phantom says, getting back to the matter at hand.
Annie looks at him, dreading the situation, "Um…yea, I know!" She says, quickly thinking of a solution, "You don't want her knowing who you are, so to be inconspicuous you can go and…clean my room!"
"Like a maid?" Jill says, chuckling a little.
Phantom widens his eyes, "That's a perfect ploy!" Without warning, he whips the cape off his shoulders and turns it into an apron.
Fun Danny looks back and rolls his eyes before going back to watching bowling. "Aw, dude! It's over. Bummer." He suddenly yells over his shoulder, "THANKS FOR WASTING MY TIME!"
Annie glances at Danny before back at Phantom, "Uh…yea, she'll never recognize you now!" She says as sincerely as she could.
"Oh yes, like an apron made out of a bedsheet will do that," Jill mutters with another laugh.
Annie glares at her, "Shut it!"
"I'm off to clean the room, then!" Phantom says with a determined face and prepares to fly off, but Annie stops him.
"Just make sure you come back right after so you don't run into her, you don't know enough about her yet," Annie says, looking around the room unsurely.
"Hmm…this is true. What if I encounter her while cleaning the room?" Super Danny asks.
"Well isn't that obvious? You fight her!" Jill says in a 'duh!' tone, only to have Annie widen her eyes.
"NO, NO YOU DON'T!" Annie quickly says with a glare at Jill. "Why don't you go over and find something for Fun Danny to do?" She says through clenched teeth, trying to resist attacking her.
"But-" Jill starts to say, only to have Annie's glare increase, if that was possible. "…Fine. I can see when I'm not wanted," Jill says with a frown before going over to when Danny was.
Annie makes sure she goes with narrowed eyes before turning back to Phantom and softening her gaze, "Just don't let on to her about who you are…and pretend you have no idea who she is."
Phantom nods affirmatively, "No problem, DANNY PHANTOM- er, I mean DANNY FACTOTUM is on the job! No dust bunny or allergen will get by me!" He declares with another heroic pose before flying and phasing up out of the room with a determined face.
"…Factotum?" Annie mutters before shaking her head and looking over at where Jill had just set up Guitar Hero. "…What are you doing?" She asks, silently praying that Jill didn't already mess something up.
Jill was currently plugging in a guitar controller, "Danny just wanted to play Guitar Hero."
Fun Danny nods, an excited gleam already showing. "It looks like a sweet game!"
Annie looks from him, to the guitar, to Jill, clearly thinking of all possible ways this could go wrong. After biting her lip she gives up and looks at Danny, "…Okay, whatever. Just DON'T break it." She says, imagining how in trouble she'd be if the game broke.
"Yea, sure dude," Danny says, only half-paying attention as he was already taking the guitar from Jill and putting it on.
Annie sighs and falls back onto the couch, Jill soon following. A moment of relaxation seemed very appealing.
BANG! CRASH!
Annie widens her eyes and jumps up at the noise.
Phantom's voice suddenly yells from upstairs, "Darn vacuum is stuck! CURSE THIS INFERNAL CLEANING DEVICE!"
Amity Park: 9:45 A.M.
"Ah, illegally spying on the Fentons, now in HD!" Vlad says as he looks intently at the screen while Maddie purrs in satisfaction.
"Let's see what they were discussing at breakfast," He says as he presses a button on the remote, rewinding the kitchen cam. When he saw Jazz discussing something with Maddie, he stopped.
"Most likely, especially since he's on a camping trip with Tucker," Jazz had just said.
"Ah, here we go," Vlad says and sits back to watch.
The fudge-eating fool said something that Vlad didn't pay any attention to, and instead listened to Maddie respond before realizing what Jazz said, "Wait, when did he leave?"
"Maddie," Vlad cooed, "Always so inquisitive."
Maddie the cat looks up and meows.
"Oh, not you, Maddie, the other Maddie," Vlad says while waving his hand dismissively and looking back at the screen, ignoring his cats annoyed look.
Jazz had just said that Danny had probably left early that morning and Vlad raises an eyebrow, "Early? Hmm…we'll just have to see about that."
He hits another button on the remote that makes four different camera views show: Danny's room, the living room, the upstairs hallway, and the lab. He starts rewinding more until he sees a bright light appear in the lab and a figure jump out of it.
Upon rewinding further it shows something that looks like Danny thrown out of the portal before another figure comes out as well.
"What is this?" Vlad asks and watches further to show one of the figures holding one of the Fenton's inventions and the other dragging Danny up the stairs. Vlad plays the video normally and watches Danny get dragged down the stairs and smirks, "That was amusing."
Watching the rest of the video he saw that they had brought Danny to the portal and had thrown him through, the intruders escaping before the portal closed.
"So young Daniel was kidnapped…and not by my intentions. We'll have to find out more about this, won't we Maddie?" Vlad says before looking at where Maddie was only to find her gone. "Maddie?"
The cat meows and Vlad looks over to see that she was standing in his model of the city. He gets up and walks over, looking at where the cat was sitting.
"The Nasty Burger, a perfect place to find out more information. Good idea, Maddie," Vlad says and pets her before going over to his window that looked out over the city.
Maddie mews, happy to be praised and runs over to the windowsill.
Setting his eyes on the teen hangout, Vlad smiles evilly, "It looks like you're the one that needs saving this time, Daniel."
Oh noes, frootloop! So what'll happen with Fun Danny and Guitar Hero? Why isn't the darn vacuum working? And what will Vlad do?! Find out next time when we update! (Which won't be 3 weeks from now.) We'll really try to get the next part out in a week, but it'll be 2 weeks tops.
Now, that special something that can hopefully somewhat make up for our long absence is that...*drumroll* we've made a radio play version of the story! It can be found on youtube if you type in 'Spirited Away Radio Play' So...enjoy the first part! Please R&R! :D
