A Family Stays Together

First attempt

Aria spent the next month searching a way to reopen the portal or find someone who would, nothing, Aria couldn't find a way to open the portal once more. Ember knew what her daughter was doing, she tried to stop her but she knew there was no point, Aria was stubborn like her father was or maybe herself.

"Aria!" Aria look down and smiled, she landed and went to meet up with Sam. It's been a few years since she saw Sam; she had seen her after her father's 'death' but not even much since then.

"Sam it's been awhile" said Aria, Sam had changed so much since she saw her.

"Aria what's up? You haven't come to the human world in ages" she said

"I'm looking for a book" she said

"Book? Doesn't the ghost zone have more interesting books then here?" she ask

"I've read many books in the ghost zone, and the book I'm looking for is here on earth of all places" said Aria, she was certain the book she needed was here on earth. Every book she read referred to the book she was looking for.

"What's the book's name?" Sam ask

"The mystery of ghosts and portals" said Aria, Sam glance away in what seem she was thinking, "Do you know it?"

"It sounds familiar..." mumbled Sam as she tried to remember where she read the name before

"You know the book?" Aria couldn't believe her ears, she thought it would take her years to find the book but she might have it in a few seconds. Sam lighten up, she had a smile on her face, Aria anxiously waited for her response.

"Your grandparents! I think I saw that book in their home" said Sam, Aria smiled

"Thank you!" shouted Aria, as she flew off towards the Fenton's home. Aria arrived at her father's old home, not much had changed over the years, Aria walk around in search of the book. She examined all of the books in the bookcase, nothing, Aria sigh she felt she would never help her father.

"GHOST!" Aria knew those famous words; she quickly dodges her grandparents attack

"Aria?" Maddie questioned, Aria landed and smiled at her

"What a welcome, grandmother" Aria said, Maddie hug her granddaughter along with her grandfather picking them both up.

"What are you doing here? How's your father?" ask Maddie, Aria sadly glance away, Ember hadn't told anything about the incident to his parents. Jack and Maddie had no idea that their son was suck in another dimension, Aria wasn't sure if she should tell them or not.

"I'm...just looking for a book" lied Aria, she knew it would be better she they did know

"What book?" she ask

"The mystery of ghost and portals" she said

"Oh yes! Where do we keep that book again...?" Maddie took a few moments to remember about the book, "Jack? Where is that book?"

"I think it's near the emergency ham" said Jack as he ran off to the fridge

"So how's your father? It's been awhile since he saw him" ask Maddie, Aria quickly thought of a believable lie

"Busy, he has too much work of protecting the ghost zone, he doesn't have the time to see us too" lied Aria

"Oh that boy of mine, always busy doing something" she said, Jack ran back in the living room with the book in one hand, and half of a ham in the other.

"Found it!" he shouted, as he took another bite of his ham.

"Thanks" said Aria, as she took the book from him, Aria sniff the book which was no surprise smelled like ham

"Say hello to your father for us" said Maddie, Aria nod her head, and she said her goodbyes before she flew off.

Aria quickly returned home, she spent the next few months studying the book over and over again. Aria studying the book enough times, which she knew every single paragraph of the book. Aria felt confident in herself to give it a try, she returned to their old home, she stared at the outlines of the portal which took her father away.

"Here I go" Aria took a deep breath, she mentally prepared herself for the spell, Aria accumulated all of her powers into her hands. She formed a small ball, concentrated of her ghost powers, Aria gently place the ball onto the ground. The ball entered the ground, a small portal hole formed into the ground, Aria imagined the portal she saw all of those years ago; she used the techniques she learned from the book. Slowly the hole started to form into a portal, a very small portal.

"Come on!" Aria was sweating, she felt like her arms were about to fall off.

The portal slowly started to open, a small circle started to form in the ground, Aria smiled in success as she tried to grow the portal and keep it stable. But suddenly the Aria broke onto itself and collapse, the force pushed Aria back. Aria took a second to regain her sense and saw the portal was gone; Aria slammed her hands on the ground.

"I was so CLOSE!" shouted Aria while she continued to slam her fist on the ground, Aria stood up and activated her powers. "I've almost got it! I can do this!" Aria said
