Danny carried Sam all the way back to the house on his back and a few moments later Sam woke up and she was immediately calling her therapist but she didn't answer and so she left a message, "Hi Dr Spectra. It's Sam Manson calling and I need you to call me back as soon as you can. I think I need to have my dosage checked. That event we've been discussing for a long time now, the one that didn't really happen? Oh boy! I'm having an episode with the boy that didn't really disappear. In fact I'm sitting in his living room, drinking lemonade so if you could call me back I'd be really interested in your interpretation. Thank you so much"
With that she hung up and said, "She should call me back in an hour"
"While we're waiting…." Danny said as he pulled out the game and opened it up.
As soon as Sam saw it she immediately jumped off the couch and shouted in a panic, "WOAH! NO! NO! NO! NO!"
"Sam! Sam! Calm down!" Danny shouted as he walked up to her. Sam then stopped and said, "Danny! I have spent over two thousand worth of therapy convincing myself that this doesn't exist, what happened to you was so awful I made the whole thing up"
"Sam it was awful. It was awful, it really was" Danny said as he grabbed her hand calmly. "But it was real. It's real"
"No, no, no! It wasn't real! You're father murdered you and chopped you up into little pieces" Sam said hoping everything was a dream but in truth it wasn't.
"Sam come on! My dad did that? My father was like a teddy bear. Wouldn't even hurt a fly let alone chop me into little pieces" Danny said. He sat her back down on the couch next to Billy and said, "Twenty-two years ago we started playing a little game and now we're gonna sit down and we're gonna finish it and guess what? It's your turn"
He handed her the dice and then sat on the other side next to Dani. Sam looked down at the dice fearfully and whimpered, "No"
"Play the game Sam" Danny said. Sam shook her head and pleaded, "No Danny please don't make me do this"
Danny sighed and held out his hand, "Fine. Just give me the dice Sam and you can go home. You don't have to play"
"Thank you" Sam said and reached over to drop the dice in his hand only he made his hand intangible and allowed the dice to fall through his hand and land on the board. Sam panicked and shouted in fear, "Oh my god! How could you do that?! And how did you do that?!"
"One the game gave me ghost powers when I entered the game and two it's the law of the Ghost Zone Sam" Danny said seriously. "You'll get used to it"
Sam continued to panic fearfully as the game piece moved on the board and the writing appeared on the gem. They all leaned over and Sam read it, "He grows much faster than bamboo. Take care or he'll come after you"
Suddenly a few pieces of the ceiling fell on top of the board and they all looked up to see plant vines growing out of the roof. Danny then said, "Oh no!"
"This isn't happening!" Sam panicked as vines continued to grow around them out of the walls and everywhere. Danny gathered them all up together and said, "It is. Stay away from the walls and don't touch anything. No quick movements until we're out of the room"
A few purple flowers grew with some sort of barbs coming out of them. Dani commented, "Wow there beautiful"
"Oh yeah they're beautiful but deadly" Danny said. "Stay away from the purple ones. They shoot poisonous barbs and make sure none of Undergrowth's vines grabs you because he'll feed you to his children. The great big purple ones"
They were unaware that a vine had managed to wrap around Billy's ankle as Sam asked, "What big purple ones and who's Undergrowth?"
The vine pulled and before they knew it, Billy was being dragged away from them. He screamed as the vine pulled him away. Danny changed into his ghost form and shouted as he flew after him, "BILLY! HOLD ON!"
Bill continued to scream until Danny grabbed his arm, "I GOT YOU!"
Sam and Dani grabbed onto him as well as Billy screamed, "Get it off me! Get it off me!"
Suddenly a large plant ghost appeared in front of them and roared, "FLESH DWELLERS! YOU HAVE MADE THE MISTAKE OF SUMMONING ME FROM THE GHOST ZONE! NOW YOU SHALL SUFFER THE WRATH OF UNDERGROWTH! STARTING WITH THIS LITTLE BOY! HE WILL BECOME A FINE MEAL TO MY CHILDREN"
The small cupboard opened and revealed the vine belonging to a monstrous purple looking plant. Dani and Sam screamed at the sight of and its mouth opened to reveal sharp looking teeth ready to devour Billy as he screamed. It closed its mouth and continued to pull Billy closer and closer to it while Undergrowth laughed evilly.
"Hold on to him! It's time to take out this plant!" Danny said as he let go leaving Sam and Dani to hold onto Billy.
Danny's entire body suddenly started glowing a blue aura along with his eyes and he shouted, "HEY CABBAGE FACE! HAVEN'T YOU HEARD COLD AIR IS NOT GOOD FOR THE PLANTS?!"
Danny floated in the air and sent a massive energy wave of freezing air, completely freezing all the vines, plants and Undergrowth in ice and snow. Danny floated down and cut the now frozen vine off Billy's leg releasing him from the plants hold. Dani hugged her little brother close to her as the plants and vines all shrivelled up as Undergrowth shrunk down after Danny fired a combined ice and ecto blasts right at his chest and destroyed him.
"Billy are you okay?" Danny asked. Billy nodded still shaken up from almost being eaten.
"Alright let's get out of the living room. It won't be long until Undergrowth starts growing back. It'll be slow but I'll put an ice barrier around this room along with a shield to keep him in here" Danny said.
