Danny stopped the Specter Speeder. He was beginning to get frustrated, and he had been looking for his destination for hours. He whipped his map out of the glove compartment and tried to gather his bearings.

"Let's see" he said aloud to himself, "if I'm here, then Dora's castle should be..." He looked out the window on his right and saw the castle there standing tall and proud on a floating island. "Oh"

He maneuvered the Specter Speeder over to the flat space on the castle grounds, and got out. The grounds looked a lot better than when he was here last. The moat had been cleaned out too so the water was no longer a murky green color, the trees in the forest actually had leaves on them now that the clouds weren't always blocking the sun. All in all it was now one of the more decent places to live in the Ghost Zone.

People looked happier too. They smiled and waved at him as he went by. They all knew Danny was the one who set them free from the rule of Prince Aragon.

When he approached the giant doors to the castle, the guard recognized him right away, and motioned for him to follow. They walked through enormous halls, up stairs, took lots of turns, and went down stairs. This place was like a maze. It continued like this until finally the guard turned into a big room with a gold door frame.

Inside the guard bowed and left Danny facing Queen Dora Mattingly herself. He started to bow as well, but Dora objected. "You should not bow to me, Sir Phantom, I should be bowing to you, for you have set my kingdom free, and neither me nor my people could thank you enough."

Danny smiled at her sincerity. "Thank Sam. She was the one who really defeated Aragon. I just flew her home."

Dora just smiled back. "I assume you came to see me for a reason?"

Danny nodded and told her about the deal he had made. "I was wondering if you could send some of your warriors to protect Amity Park." he said when he was finished.

Dora was delighted. "Of course I will Sir phantom! Finally I have found a way to repay you!"

Danny was glad he had taken care of that. It was a huge weight off his shoulders, knowing his friends and family would be safe. "Thank you Queen Dora. You don't know how much this means to me."

"Ah but I do. I would want the same thing for my kingdom as you are asking for yours. Is there anything else I can help you with for your journey?"

"You've done more than enough already, thank you. I should go though. I still have to find a way out of the Ghost Zone"

"Good luck on your travels!" She called as he left.

Danny was still driving. It was sure a good thing the ecto-converter didn't take very much energy, or he would be asleep by now. His butt was getting sore though, and his right leg was asleep. He breathed a loud sigh of relief as he saw what was ahead of him. He had been looking for a way out of the Ghost Zone for much too long for his liking, but in front of him finally was a portal that he knew wasn't the Fenton Portal.

When he got through, he found himself in some sort of empty classroom. 'What kind of classroom had ghost portal in it?' he thought. The classroom was dark, and outside the windows, the sun had already set. He guessed it was about 10:00, and he was getting tired. He had been sitting all day, but he didn't want to stand anyway, he wanted to sleep.

He focused some energy into the Speeder, making it intangible and sliding through the wall. Outside, was a big grass field similar to the one a Casper High that was used for gym. Beyond that was a big city, probably bigger than Amity Park. He flew into it until he found a park surrounded by forest. He lowered the Speeder into the forest, and pressed the cloaking button. He got out. and found a bench to sleep on. It was actually more comfortable than it looked, so he soon drifted into the black abyss called sleep.

"Kid, you alive?"

Danny groaned, not ready to wake up yet. It was Wednesday, he had first period off, and didn't have to wake up early...'wait...kid?'

Danny snapped awake, rolling off the bench as he did so, and hitting the ground with a thud. He looked up to see a policewoman with a look of amusement on her face.

"I'll take that as a yes" She laughed. Suddenly she got serious. "Why aren't you at school, young man?"

She sounded like his mother, and Danny suddenly became nervous. "Oh, I, uh... was, um... you know, uh th- SLEEPING!

"I can see that, but it's 3:00 in the afternoon. Why aren't you at school?"

"3:00?! How is that possible?"

"It's true. Now how do I reach your legal guardian? I have to tell them that you were skipping school."

"Legal guardian?" Danny wasn't fully awake yet, but the policewoman obviously thought so, because she grabbed him tightly on the wrist and told him sternly to give her his phone number.

"You'll get in more trouble if you don't give me you number, kid" she said.

"I can't. Sorry." Danny didn't know what else to do. "I can't go home."

The policewoman seemed to realize what he was talking about, and she had probably seen this before. "Oh, kid I'm so sorry, I didn't realize. Your not from around here are you? You ran away."

"Yeah" was all he could say.

"Well kid, do you want to talk about it?"

"No thanks" and with that, he got up and walked away, towards the Specter Speeder. The key and uncloaking remote were still in his pocket. He heard the policewoman get up behind him and run to catch up with him even though he wasn't going that fast.

"Do you want to stay with me, kid? You can stay in the guest bedroom at my house."

Danny couldn't believe his ears. Someone offered to take in a dirty runaway off the streets? "Really?"

She chuckled at the amazed look n his face and answered "Yeah, really."
