Dash made his way through the crowd of students in the hall. He was going to do it today. He was going to publicly help Danny with his books. Ever since the revelation in the back of the school, he wanted to ditch the mean side he had developed from losing Danny. He still remembered the story Danny had told him two days ago when they were working on their project.

(Flashback: Two Days Ago)

"Hey F-Danny?" Dash asked as he lay on his bed. Danny was sitting upright, typing up the words for the story. "What Dash?" he asked slowly, still not used to the bully being his childhood friend.

"Can you tell me what happened when you left?" Danny sighed and closed the laptop before facing his story and beginning his tale. The scene still playing in his head fresh like it had only happened yesterday.

Danny fingered the white comb as they brought him to the training area. It still had some of Dash's gold strands of hair tangled in-between the combs.

'I'll be back,' Danny thought as they entered the training dock.

Putting the comb back inside his jumpsuit, Danny grabbed an ecto gun from the rack and stepped into the room. It was a holographic blue room with dark lines highlighting the area like a grid. A voice boomed over the speakers placed in the room.

"Begin the motto part of the test. What is the ghost hunter's creed?"

Danny closed his eyes and thought about the chant he had made with Dash. "Always if you see a ghost (find out what it fears the most) always have a gun at hand (make sure the fight is fun and grand) and corner sp-specters we despise (hit them right between the eyes)."

"Very good… you pass. Begin the physical part of the exam."

Danny readied his weapon and grinned a wide toothy grin. They gave low-leveled ghosts to the trainers to test their agility and strength. This was going to be extremely easy because Dash trained him… or so he thought.

Somewhere in the wiring, a metallic looking bug crept into the wiring and cut some strings. The warning lights flashed, but by the time security came, the bug was gone and the damage to the training facility was already done. The bug flew off into the night with a beeping red light shining behind it, telling its master the deed was done.

Red lights started to flash in the training area. Danny jumped at the sound and wondered what was happening. He looked at the exit door and saw the grownups trying to break their way in to save him. The door seemed to be stuck, and Danny could only watch in horror as every one of the ghosts the organization had caught was emptied into the room, weak and strong.

Many ghosts started attacking him with claws and teeth, making Danny scream in pain. Somewhere inside him, energy foreign to him exploded and destroyed all the ghosts in the room. No one saw this, and when the grownups got in to rescue him, he was lying unconscious face down on the ground with a large gash in his right leg. To protect their jobs, they told Mr. Baxter that he had failed and had his memory erased.

When he woke up, his memory was gone, and he wondered what he was doing in an empty building in the first place. They had moved him out of the school and into the Axion labs, were he would begin his work.

(Two Years Later)

After a year of apprenticeship, Danny had gotten used to the work around the labs. He was assigned to a Vladimir Masters, who was studying on the possibilities of dimensional travel. He had grey hair tied into a ponytail, and he always had on his lab coat. He had been working with his father and mother before they died. His dad was almost finished with a ghost portal, but an accident occurred and they had died before finishing the project. Danny had made a friend with a customer of Axion Electronics over the years. His name was Tucker Foley. He always had his PDA with him, and he wore a red barrette on his head.

"Barrettes are cool, the ladies will love it!" Tucker said as he followed Danny into the lab.

"I doubt it Tuck… Here, I want to show you something my parent's made!"

He brought Tucker to the big hexagon hole in the wall that was starting to grow cobwebs on the side. Tucker peered into the hole with wide eyes. "What is it?"

"It's a ghost portal… but it doesn't work." Danny explained with a proud grin on his face.

Tucker shook his head and looked further into the hole. "Dude, I stopped believing in ghosts when I was ten."

"You are ten Tuck… same age as me…"

It had been two years since Danny had joined the Axion labs. The first year was tough, but the second year was easier than he had imagined.

They were about to go back, but then Danny heard the familiar footsteps of Vladimir walking down into the lab.

"Quick, hide!" Danny said as he pushed Tucker into a corner crowded with weird looking guns.

Danny joined him and watched as his boss stepped in front of his parent's invention and smirked evilly. "You always were a fool Jack… believing in ghosts when no one else did. It was a shame I had to get rid of you and your wife all those years ago to prevent your discovery… maybe this would have brought real ghosts into the world, and you would have become more famous than me… to bad…"

Anger raged in the young boy as he heard Vladimir laugh into the tunnel. Not being able to hide any longer, Danny slid out of his hiding place and ran behind Vladimir with tears cornering his eyes. "You! You killed them?"

His boss spun around with wide grey eyes as wide as dinner plates. "Daniel… what… I can explaine…"

"No! I heard everything! I'm telling the president and have you…"

Vlad grabbed Danny by the arm before he could finish and threw him inside the portal. Tucker could only watch, as a maniac was attacking his best friend. Vladimir grinned evilly and walked away after he pressed some buttons. A blue electric net came out from the sides of the portal and trapped Danny inside.

"You my dear boy are never coming out. You have to stay there until the presentations end, then I'll release you and give you a punishment so great, you'll wish you would have joined your father," he said, following an evil laugh.

After he stormed out, Tucker ran out of his hiding place and looked past the electric wiring. His best friend pulled his white and black HAZMAT suit tight as he shivered from the cold of the metal in the machine. He had lost his lab coat when he was thrown in, leaving his white comb sitting in the right pocket.

"Danny! Dude, are you okay? I can't get you out, but I think there is a button in there that deactivates the electric shield! We have to get you out of there!"

Tucker ran to the controls on the right of the machine while Danny got up and searched for anything to cut or press. Blindly making his way along the walls, he found two buttons on the right wall.

"Tuck! I think I found something!" Danny announced as he reached higher and pressed the button.

The electric shield disappeared, but at the same time, the walls started to turn green as the portal powered up. Danny looked at what he had pressed and visibly paled as he read the words above the green button. It was the on button. Danny tried to run out, but it was too late as green electricity filled the machine and struck him. A blood-curdling scream could be heard throughout the halls, but everyone had gone for lunch. Tucker plugged his hears and looked away from the blinding lights that were hurting his friend. Danny yelled louder still as the ectoplasm started fusing with his body.

He felt himself changing, and at the same time, some weird memories were resurfacing. He was a blonde haired boy looking at him with purple bluish eyes and an orange and black HAZMAT suit similar to his dads. Words filled his head that he suddenly remembered. All his hunting tricks and tips came back, as well as how to handle ghost weapons. He had gained most of his memories back. What he couldn't remember was the name of the boy and half the chant in his head.

Danny crawled out of the portal as it died down. From being to old and rusty, it couldn't run too long, and it instantly shut down forever. Tucker opened his eyes and started to run to his friend, but stopped and ran back to the corner because he was seeing a ghost for the first time. The ghost had white hair that fell in front of its face. It had on a hazmat suit like Danny's, but the colors were switched. It was glowing slightly, and when the ghost opened its eyes, they were glowing neon green. The ghost scanned the room and started to panic.

"T-Tucker? Where are you?" the ghost said with a familiar voice and an echo accompanying it.

Shocked, Tucker came out of his hiding place and approached the ghost. "Danny?" he asked slowly.

"Yeah its me? Who do you think it is you techno geek?" it said as it tried to push itself off of the ground.

Tucker let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and helped Danny up. This was his best friend… but… "Dude, look at you" he whispered as he handed his PDA to Danny.

Taking the device, Danny looked at himself before dropping it in shock, making Tucker dive to the ground to save it from a nasty fall.

"What happened to me?" Danny yelled as he held his head in pain. All these new memories and new information were too much for Danny to handle all at once.

"Tuck… I remember some things I didn't know before… like…"

Suddenly, a white ring surrounded Danny and split up and down, leaving him in his white and black suit again. The memories soon left, making Danny wonder what it was he had remembered to begin with.

"Never mind… we have to go stop that froot loop!" Tucker said as he tried to shake Danny out of his thoughts.

Tucker didn't really want to just brush off what had happened, but the urge to bust that man for hurting his friend was more powerful than his curiosity, so Danny grabbed his coat and ran out of the room with Tucker following behind him.

"So I busted Vladimir with Tucker's help, I got adopted, and I found out that I could only remember my past in my ghost form… it was a little confusing." Danny finished.

Dash looked at him with sympathy in his eyes and pulled Danny into a bear hug. "I'm sorry Danny… I won't let anything happen to you…" Danny blushed inside the teen's hug and sat there with him, the poem forgotten once again.

(End Flashback)

Dash met up with Danny at his locker. The teen was trying to shove his books and thermos into the locker with little success. Sighing, Dash shoved the mass of stuff into the locker and slammed it shut. People stared at him, and the A-list hung their mouths open as they walked to class together.

'I hope to be more than friends… someday…' Dash thought as they broke off to sit in their seats.

Before sitting down, Dash took one more look at Danny. The raven hair boy was looking at him a little dreamily, with a small blush tinting his pale face when he caught Dash staring at him too. Happy beyond belief, Dash finally sat down and listened to the lecture.

'Maybe it will be sooner than I think…'

Did anyone like it? Is anyone mad at me? I want romance as much as all of you... Why do I have to be so busy all the time? If I could I would write forever! Ah well. Until then,

Chow! : )
