Writer's Block must be contagious or something…! Stopwatch-To-Oblivion sent me her seventh 'Earthdance' (which I highly suggest!!) chapter to me going on about her WB and the next thing I know it's smacking me in the face too…!

AHHHG! And I totally just realized I freaked this up bad! I was re-reading the first MIR and I realized that Jazz knew about Danny's ghost powers in that and that I had placed it after 'Ultimate Enemy'! (slams her head into the keyboard continuously) I! AM! SUCH! AN! IDIOT! So, I'm sorry for the screw up, this was, I guess, supposed to be set up after UE…!

Ten: Foretelling

"Whoa…" ZeE's mouth was hanging wide open, his eyes wide, a handful of chips sliding out of his fingers and onto the floor, "So that's what a halfa is! Man, that was sw33t!"

"Huh? Wait, what?" Sam looked from Danny to ZeE and back again, "What do you mean 'that's what a halfa looks like' and what the heck did you say!?"

"Dud3, 1 kn0w!" Danny laughed, hovering inches off the floor, "1t's sw33t l337, n0?"

"Danny, dude, what're you saying!?" Tucker was exasperated, even he didn't understand what was being said, "Heeelllloooo!? Can we know what's going on!?"

"Oh, sorry," Danny sank back to the floor, shaking his head, one white gloved hand running through his thick white locks, "It's kind of a long story so I'll tell you quickly. Well, that is," He glance at ZeE who looked just as troubled, "The parts I can remember."

It didn't take that long; Danny, with ZeE's help, managed to piece together what he could, recounting everything from waking up in Ed's School to escaping the night before. He even remembered the torturous experiments tested on him by Doc and the others and the horrible transformation he and ZeE had gone through.

"And that's why I knew I had to come back to Amity Park." Danny was still in his ghost form but was now sitting on the bed beside Sam, glaring at the floor like he could burn holes into it, "Because I need to get a hold of Amethyst."

"Yeah…" Tucker stroked his chin, thinking, "Amethyst is a Yokai Ghost Fox, she'll know exactly what's going on…! Let's get over to your house right now!"

"Nuh-uh!" Danny hurriedly shook his head, "I am not announcing my return like this! There's still work to be done and there is no way I could do any of it with paparazzi trailing after Phantom and my parents chasing after Fenton! We're gonna have to sneak into my house, steal that gem she left me, and get down to the Ghost Portal."

"Sounds good to me," Sam stood up, "Alright, we should go now while we still have some daylight."

"If you don't mind, I'm going to stay here and take a nap." ZeE muttered, "Got any place where I could sleep without anyone bothering me?"

"Try my closet, my parents never go in there." Sam pushed the door open for him and he immediately curled up on the floor, "Alright now that he's taken care of, let's go! Tucker, call Jazz and tell her to distract her parents! If she asks, just let her know Danny's back but she has to keep it a secret!"

As Tucker snatched up Sam's phone and started dialing, the Goth turned to Danny who was starring at the wall without really seeing it, thinking quietly to himself. On a sudden impulse, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly, ignoring his flushed face that turned red even in his ghost form.

"I missed you." She murmured softly and he took her other hand, pulling her close.

"I-." He stopped himself, sighed, and let go, stepping away and shaking his head, "I was an idiot, I'll admit it. I didn't think, again, and now look what's happened."

"Danny, I-!"

"Alright, that's set! Let's get out of here!" The two jumped a foot apart as Tucker leapt up beside them; the techie eyed them both curiously, "Were you about to kiss…?"

"N-no!" Danny stuttered, unable to stop the blush from creeping into his face, "Come on, Tucker, quit screwing around! We're leaving!" He grabbed his two friends around the waist and shot off through the ceiling and into the clear morning sky.

Minutes later the trio was digging through every spot in Danny's room they could reach. And Danny was not exactly the cleanest person in Amity Park.

"Danny…what the heck is this!?" Tucker held up something that words could no describe.

"I think a better word would be 'what' was it." Sam made a face, "When's the last time you really cleaned your room, Danny!?"

"Not in…um…a month. But shove stuff around every so often; haven't been able to that in a while since…yeah…" He winced at the blurred memories of Ed's School and continued to search for the violet gem Amethyst had given him one year ago.

"Hey, wait a minute," Tucker paused in his search under the bed, "Didn't you give the gem to Sam?"

"Yeah, well, I sort of gave it back." The Goth responded, "I didn't want my parents getting a hold of it and thinking it was some priceless piece of jewelry they could, I dunno, sell for millions…!"

"What a confidence booster-hey!" Danny withdrew his head from the forgotten depths of his closet, "Found it!" He got hushing motions from the other two, "Opps, sorry! I got it though!" He jangled the shining violet gem on it's chain, grinning, "Let's get down to the Ghost Portal; we'll take the Specter Speeder, I don't want to waste any more energy staying in my ghost form."

The trio snuck easily into the lab with the aid of Danny's invisibility and intangibility, snickering at Jazz's attempts to keep her parents busy by picking their brains with her psychology. Once they reached the lab, Danny dropped back into his human form, shaking his head to get his black hair from his face and opened up the Fenton Ghost Portal as Tucker and Sam started up the Specter Speeder.

"Man, it feels like forever…" Danny took and deep breath and let it out as he took a spot between his two best friends, "This feels so right!" And he threw his arms around their shoulders and pulled them into a huge hug.

"Uhhhhh…" Tucker blinked as his glasses slid down his nose, "Danny…are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm fine…!" He let them go, turning to the instrument panel before him, "Let's head just inside the Ghost Zone and I'll," His cheeks turned pink, "Get Amethyst."

The engine seemed loud to their ears as they waited with bated breath for Jack or Maddie to rush down the stairs at the noise. They got lucky though. The swirling vortex of green was laid out before them and they took it, feeling just like old times. Only this time, they had strange school and Yokai Snake Danny threatening on the horizon.

"Erm…" The Specter Speeder hovered in the bizarre world and Danny clutched his fingers around the gem, looking a little sheepish as the other two looked at him expectantly, "I…I really…" He closed his eyes, muttered something to himself that sounded oddly like 'find a happy place', and hauntingly said, "A-Amethyst…? Um, we need some help. So could you like, come out?"

He cracked one eye open and the other two peered out the windshield but nothing happened.

"Well," Sam crossed her arms, "That was a load of-."

A loud rumble shook the Speeder and, from far down below in the deepest depths of the Ghost Zone, a flare of light was just visible to them.

"Whoa…!" Tucker's eyes were huge, "That was…different!"

"HALFA!" A familiar voice screamed in utter delight and relief and someone flew through the bottom of the Speeder and smothered Danny in a hug, licking his cheek repeatedly.

"Ahhhg! Ew! Amethyst, ew, get off! Uhg!" Danny scrambled underneath the human formed Yokai Fox, pushing her off of himself and onto Tucker's surprised lap, "Okay, that was wrong!" He scowled, rubbing his sleeve on his cheek, "You don't lick people to say hello!"

"I guess she still has a lot to learn…" Sam smiled, "So, what's new?"

"Too much!" Amethyst squeezed herself between the protesting techie and the side of the Speeder, "I've got a lot you three should know!" Her grin was gone, her happiness had vanished, and she was all serious, "And I don't think you're gonna like it…"

"I think we might know some small details already," Tucker glanced at Danny who frowned and turned his hard gaze to the floor of the vehicle, "But let's get out of here before someone like Walker decides to kick us around…!"

As Danny, carrying Sam, and Amethyst, carrying Tucker, dropped through the Manson's roof (dang, I'm skipping around a lot) and into the Goth girl's room, they knew something was wrong. And it wasn't just the fact that Sam's closet door was hanging off its hinges and her clothes scattered across the room that gave it away.

"ZeE's gone!" Danny cried, forgetting his friends for a moment as he dashed to the closet and looked desperately inside, knowing he'd find nothing.

"Claw marks…?" Amethyst stepped up to the gashes scraped across the dark paint on Sam's walls as the two humans starred around in shock, "Y-Yokai! This smells like Yokai Tiger!"

"ZeE!" The halfa moaned, sinking to his knees, "They must've snatched him while we were gone! Poor guy…he never stood a chance…!" He buried his face in his hands, cursing under his breath.

"Sam, are your parents home?" Tucker asked and the Goth shook her head, responding that they were out for the rest of the day shopping or something, "Good, because I think this might be as good a time as any for Amethyst to tell us what she knows."

Dark violet eyes flickered with a bubbling rage and the Yokai Fox let out a feral snarl, only to have it echoed in an angry hiss that came from Danny. His eyes had lost their pupils, dangerous fangs curled past his lower lip, a forked tongue flickering past them.

"Yokai…" Amethyst's eyes got huge, "So, they got you too, halfa." Enraged but keeping it in, she sat on the floor, "Well, I suppose Tucker is right. Danny settle down, you're not going to get anywhere by changing." The half-turned halfa glared at her, saw her stony expression, and slowly reverted, going to sit beside Sam on her bed as Tucker rightened a chair and took it, "It starts…with a man named Yulcifer."

(starts sobbing because she's been throwing you so many evil cliffies) Dang it all! D'Arvit, I hate Writer's Block! Now they're all OOC! (sobs harder)
I'm sorry for the annoyingness of this chapter and its dumb cliff hanger but I've had my hands full lately with play practice and OM and Band so I hardly get time to write anymore.
Thanks for putting up with me! Tell me what you thought! Byes!
