Me: Well, here you go. Chapter 6!

Danny: Is this the end?

Me: Oh, no way. Tis only the beginning.

Sam: Sooo, how much longer are we gonna be held here against our will?

Me: I dunno.

Sam: (sarcasm) Just great.

Tucker: Look at this way... Free food!

Sam: (mucho sarcasm) Oh yeah that just makes everything better.

Tucker: I know right!

Somewhere in the U.S. not that far from where Danny his friends had first shown up in the alternate universe, a young boy was surfing the Internet. Not doing much, just watching random videos, whatever caught his eye. He huffed; blowing a piece of sandy blonde hair out of his eye when he saw a video entitled "Danny Phantom, Phantom Planet Part 1/5." With a picture of, was that a blue vampire? Ehh, it looked interesting enough. He clicked the link and was instantly absorbed in the story.

A theme song played, then an outer space sequence, something about a rock, when the vampire guy showed up. Suddenly the screen froze the image pixilated and dispersed and a new image was formed. The boy's eyes widened, wondering what was going on. The blue guy was still on screen but in a completely different place, flying through the sky over a small town. Before stopping and floating there as if contemplating something.

The kid tried to exit the video viewer, but to no avail. When the keyboard his fingers got hot, like on fire hot. With a yelp he pulled back, shaking his hands to cool them down. As sparks flew from the laptop, he rolled off of his bed, falling to floor, covering his head with his hands. My computer is possessed! He thought to himself, as he chanced a glance up to see green mist pouring into the room. A flash of bright light came, he ducked down again. As soon as it happened it was over, the boy slowly opened his eyes to his disheveled room. Papers flew about the room, baseball trophies lay in pieces on the floor, and his parents were yelling up the stairs at him to keep the noise down.

That's when he spied a pair of black boots standing in the middle of the floor. Not knowing quite why he did it, he quietly shuffled back until he was completely hidden beneath his bed where the stranger couldn't see him.

Vlad Plasmius scanned his surroundings, before examining himself. Indeed he looked strange, but that was only proof that he had gotten to his destination. He spied the computer, glancing at the screen for only a second before blasting it with a pink ecto-ray. He smirked, phasing through the roof and shooting off into the sky.

"Don't worry Danny. I'll find you sooner or later. I will find you."

The boy came out from underneath his bed, staring at the spot where the ghost/vampire thing had vanished through the ceiling. But this state of awe didn't last for long, when the boy saw what was left of what had been his computer.

"Dang it! The dude trashed my laptop!"

It was hamburger night, and everyone was sitting around the table sniffing at the aroma floating through the back door. Tucker was practically drooling as we set the table. Mom always tried to cook something when company came over, and over the past week she took it upon herself to make every dish she knows how. She stood in front of the grill on the back patio flipping burgers and pouring on thick seasoning sauce. My mouth was starting to water as well when she announced that they were ready.

As we sat down to dinner I heard Sam mutter something about the murder of innocent animals, as she picked at her salad trying to ignore the plate of patties in front of her. Sitting next to her Tucker stopped eating long enough to say under his breath,

"Tasty, tasty murder."

Sam's face in fact turned murderous as she glared at Tucker, who had happily gone back to stuffing his face. The rest of us tried our best to hold back the laughter that was threatening to escape. I heard a loud thump come from under the table, Tucker winced and stooped down to rub his shin. Sam smiled to herself before striking up a conversation about the movie we had seen the other day.

As everyone was chatting it up, I reminisced on the past week. Even if the town I live in isn't very exciting we managed to find something to do. We hung out at my house a lot, playing on the Wii and stuff. Went to the movies, to the mini golf place a friend of mine owns, hung out at the mall awhile, we even went to the church's youth dodge ball tournament. I think Danny phased through a few balls when people weren't looking. I felt bad when I had to drag them along with me to rehearsal for the play I'm in one night, but they didn't mind.

Danny had even stopped a few robberies in town. He won't admit it but I know he has been sneaking out of the house to do midnight patrols. Guess it's a habit. There is the whole hero complex thing going on with him. Though he did admit how nice it was, not having to fight ghosts every five minutes. At least he was acting more like himself after he started to trust Rachelyn and me. All in all we had a pretty good time, but our time was up. They had to go home.

Dinner was over; everyone had a full stomach as we sat down to a final movie night. Back to the Future my all time favorite lit the screen in high def no less. Everyone else's eyes were glued to the screen as I casually cast a glance at my new friends. We had all become pretty close, like brothers and sisters. I was a bit sad thinking how this would be the last night I ever actually see them in person. But they couldn't stay here forever; they had friends and family to get back to and for Danny, a city to protect.

We all eventually made our way to our rooms and went to sleep. And the next day it turned out Mom was going to an all day writer's conference in a nearby town, so we had the house to ourselves. Which made things a lot easier, that's for sure. As soon as Mom was gone we had some lunch and then waited for the show to start. None of us really wanted to talk much, trying to avoid sappy goodbyes. I was staring at the old clock hanging on the wall when Tucker spoke up.

"I realized that since we have a show, we must a have a theme song right? Is it any good?"

I smiled and I looked over at Rachelyn who also smiled back.

I laughed, "Shall you start or shall I?"

"I'll start." She said standing up, taking a deep breath before launching into the well known composition, "Yo Danny Fenton he was just fourteen!"

I joined in, "When his parents built a very strange machine."

"It was designed to view a world unseen."

In the background I added, "Gotta catch em all cause he's Danny Phantom."

We continued on, adding all the sound effects the whole nine yards. When had finished Danny stood there a little slack jawed, Tucker was clapping, a small smiled formed on Sam's lip as she said,

"Not that bad. It has a nice beat."

That's when it all came crashing down, literally. The entire roof of my house seemed to blast into a million pieces, plaster was falling down on our heads as people dodged the debris. I coughed as I felt the chalky plaster dust make its way into my throat. A very familiar voice called through the opening, I just couldn't quite place it. The sun glared through the gaping hole framing the figure so it was hard to distinguish who it was.

"Hello Daniel. Did you miss me?"

Danny eyes flashed his signature neon green, his expression one of hate.

"Vlad."

Me: Well I gotta go now. I'm going to camp for the week, and so yeah no Internet there. Its forbidden.

Tucker: HOW DO YOU SURVIVE?

Me: I manage. Oh yeah, and no cellphones, PDAs, or anything like that.

Tucker: (le gasp!) Sounds horrible!

Me: Quite the opposite in fact. Its really fun.

Tucker: (scoff) Yeah right.

Me: Really! Anyways, I'll post another chapter when I get back. Sorry about making ya'll wait!

Please review! It would mean a lot! Pretty please? With sugar on top? Even if you don't like it! I'll take constructive criticism.
