Ghost House

by penguinsleddings

Danny, Tucker, Valerie, and Sam take on college with all the veracity of... well, of a group of misfit ghost hunters with a mutual hero complex shoved into a house together. Collection of non chronological oneshots and drabbles detailing their experiences with new schools, a new town, and their pseudo-adopted teenager, Dani.

5. Catching Up

JUNIOR YEAR

Ghost hunting with Dani tends to be less about ass kicking and more about "catching up."

It strikes Danny the first time they run into Dora. The ghost boy was ready for a fight, ecto-fists a-blazing, when Dani started squealing like a dying pig. Before he knew it, she'd launched herself at the dragon.

"Dora!" she beamed as the ghost shrunk back into her human form. The dragon princess tightened her arms around the girl before they pulled apart. Her smile was genuine.

"How are you?" she hummed, her hands moving to hold Dani's cheeks. "You look thin. Have you been ignoring your human needs again?"

"Nah," Dani shrugged. "I'm just stuck with a vegan housemate and a bunch of losers who can't cook."

"Hey!" Danny burst in. "I can use a microwave!"

"Oh," Dora said, turning to him. "When did he get here?"

Sighing, he pulled out his thermos.
