Yay! I updated! Go me! Okay that's a little self absorbed but not the point my friend. I'm a little happy at the moment. Don't know why. Yesterday I figured out I can't iceskate and nowI can't walk! Haha! It was worth my feet getting all cut up though. I had fun and if it wasn't for my date I probably would've fallen twice as much as I already did...hehe. So I'm not that coordinated! What's your point? Anyway, here's the story and I'm not going to be able to update for a while cause I'm going to the beach for a week. Yay beach! I just gotta stay away from the sand cause of my blisters...is it possible to avoid the sand at the beach? Not likely but I can make it work my friends! I wanted to finish this chapter before I left. So enough of my blabbling, enjoy!
Sam stormed off in the biggest huff ever. Why was Tucker so…thick! Her head was too clouded and her mind was focused on nothing but Danny, so she didn't realize she was blowing off her steam in the middle of the woods. She also didn't notice the unusual round object that was at her feet until after she stepped on it, lost her balance, and fell to the ground.
"What the-" Her question was answered though when she saw what she tripped on.
What was the Fenton Thermos doing in the woods? Unless Danny dropped it…
Freezing at the thought, she quickly rolled it around in her hands to see the buttons flashing brightly.
'Occupied'
"So Danny was catching ghosts," She said to herself, "But why did he just…abandon it?" She eyed the release button, and soon found her finger sliding over it, "I bet the ghost in here will know…" Quickly she pulled her finger back.
"No, that's too dangerous…" She got to her feet, the thermos by her side, "Danny would be so mad at me if he found out I let the ghosts he caught lose. Even if he did just ditch the thermos…"
What if he didn't ditch it, she thought, What if he was attacked, and was forced to drop it. What if he's fighting for his life right now! Sam shook her head, expelling the idea. Danny was fine! Just like Jazz said, he could take care of himself. After all, it's not like he was a defenseless little kid…
"WEEEEEEEEEEE!" The toddler shouted, thankful Youngblood had taught him how to fly. It was fun. It really was, even if he didn't know exactly how to control it. Just the fact that he was 360 feet in the air made the hybrid smile.
Amity Park looked smaller in the air. One could even see the outskirts of town, surrounding the city. That's probably what caught the ghost's attention first.
A lone cliff hung just north of town. It looked down upon the city and it was occupied by a rather unusual couple. Before Danny knew what was happening, he started shooting toward the cliff, at his apparent top speed…
"Oh Johnny, it's beautiful!" A spiky, green haired girl said to a greasy haired, blonde boy. The boy, Johnny, smiled and turned to the girl.
"Thanks Kitten!" He said, smiling and wrapping his arm around her waist. This was the same place he took that girl, Jazz, right before her stupid ghost brother interrupted. But that's okay, he wasn't here to bother them this time…
Zoom!
Something zipped past the couple causing Johnny to jump and Kitty to scream. The figure, whatever it was, landed in the tree that was providing shade from the harsh afternoon sun. Leaves rustled and showered down to the ground as the figure struggled to get untangled within the branches of the tree.
Johnny looked down at his shadow on the ground. Not taking any chances, he whispered to it.
"Shadow, fetch!" Kitty heard her boyfriend, but didn't bother stopping the shadow that sparked to life at their feet. Flying into the tree, Shadow came back out with the weird disturbance…
A toddler, around the age of two, was squirming to get out of the Shadow's grip. He looked so familiar to Johnny it was kinda creepy. He had a fearful look on his face that was covered with his silver-white hair and his green eyes kept giving Shadow terrified looks. The fact that Shadow was holding him by his ankle probably wasn't helping either.
"What the-?" Johnny started, letting go of Kitty.
"Awwwwww!" His girlfriend said, rushing over to Shadow and the boy. She grabbed the shaking figure and pulled him into a hug, "JOHNNY!" She shouted over her shoulder, "YOUR STUPID BAD LUCK SHADOW IS SCARING HIM!" The boy whimpered in the girl's arms.
"What? Kitty he's just a little-" Kitty gave him a deadly glare, daring him to finish that sentence. Johnny froze and motioned for his shadow to return to his feet. Kitty turned back to the boy.
"There, there," she cooed, patting Danny's head and picking him up off the ground, "The big, mean shadow's gone now." Danny looked up at Kitty and the female ghost held back another 'Aw!'
"Who are you?" he asked, Kitty couldn't resist anymore.
"Awwwwwww!" she repeated and Johnny rolled his eyes, "Look Johnny, he's so little!"
"Yeah, a little annoying…" He muttered under his breath but put on a fake smile for his girlfriend, "Yeah he is! Can we just…you know…let him loose and get back to what we were doing?" Kitty scowled.
"JOHNNY! HE'S ONLY A KID!" She turned to Danny and tickled his stomach,
causing the hybrid to giggle, "Aren't you! Yes, you are! Yes, you are!" Johnny cringed at the baby voice she was making.
"Kitty!" Johnny whined, looking at his girlfriend, "This was supposed to be you and me time!"
"I know Johnny!" Kitty said, placing Danny on Johnny's motorcycle, the hybrid smiled after seeing where he was, "But he's just a little kid and he needs to be watched by a responsible person...like me!" She giggled at the idea.
"Vroom!" Danny muttered to himself, making fake motorcycle noises. No one noticed when he started playing with the keys.
"Like you?" Johnny nearly laughed, "Kitty, you couldn't even keep yourself alive, what makes you think you can watch a little kid."
"Because he's a ghost too!" Kitty snapped, angry that her boyfriend didn't think she could watch a toddler, "I'm not like some people who will just, set him anywhere, leave him, and then he gets in all sorts of trouble…"
"Kinda like how you just did?" Johnny asked, hearing his bike start up. Kitty's brow furrowed and she turned around to see that not only had Danny turned the bike on, he was also one turn away to taking off to the parts unknown.
"Kinda…" Kitty answered, wide-eyed. She snapped out of her state and slowly started reaching for the boy.
"So…what's your name?" She asked in hopes of distracting him until she could grab him. Unless Kitty could dive at 75 mph, that wasn't going to happen.
"DANNY PHANTOM!" Danny shouted behind him as the bike zoomed forward and down the curvy cliff.
"SHADOW, ATTACK!" Johnny shouted at the ground. Once again his shadow sparked up and headed for the toddler.
"NO, SHADOW, NO!" Kitty yelled after him, "DON'T ATTACK! JUST BRING HIM BACK!"
Danny was doing pretty well for a two-year-old with no license. He managed to dodge all the cars, people, and any other obstacles that seemed to be getting in his way. And (minus the fact that he was on the wrong side of the road and not even really on the road for that matter), he didn't hit anything except a punch buggy that he easily ramped off of. It didn't take long for the hybrid to realize he was being followed.
Shadow appeared in the rearview mirror a while ago. Danny just never really cared, but the fact that the black figure in the sky was slowly catching up with him was starting to freak him out.
"GO AWAY!" Danny yelled over the roar of the motorcycle engine. Shadow just smirked and dove downward, scooping up Danny in the process and allowing Johnny's bike to swerve driverless around the block.
"LEMME GO!" Danny squealed, kicking and thrashing to get away from the shadow. Shadow's grip tightened and he started flying back toward the cliff.
A green blast from behind him made him stop and turn around.
The cars were all backed up with the incident with Danny. But one vehicle was towered over all the others in both its size and drivers.
Maddie Fenton was standing on the Fenton Assault Vehicle with the Fenton Bazooka steaming slightly from the previous attack.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM YOU ECTOPLASMIC CREEP!" Shadow and Danny looked at each other, both confused at the name the hybrid's mom just gave them.
"Hi Mommy!" Danny waved, nearly jumping out of Shadow's arms. Maddie aimed another blast but her husband beat her to it.
"EAT ECTOPLASM GHOST FREAKS!" He yelled, and fired away. Maddie stood wide-eyed and horrorstruck as blast after blast missed the two ghosts. Only one stray one actually hit its target. To Maddie's relief, it was Shadow that was blasted away.
"WEEEEEEEEEEE!" Danny shouted as he began to fall. Gasping, Maddie flipped over her car to the one in front of her and dove for the falling ghost boy: catching him just in time.
"HI MOMMY!" Danny repeated; his green eyes big and blinking. Maddie smiled and brushed away some of his white-hair that draped into his face. Hugging him slightly, she looked over at her shocked husband.
"GET AWAY FROM HER GHOST!" Jack shouted, pulling out the Fenton Weasel. Maddie pulled Danny closer.
"JACK, PUT THAT AWAY! HE'S NOT HURTING ANYONE!" To Danny she added, "Isn't that right sweetie!" Danny giggled and phased to the ground. Maddie watched him carefully at first before turning to her husband.
"But Maddie, he's a ghost. All ghosts are evil!"
"That may be true dear," Maddie said, "and I believe it with every fiber of my being. But he's just a little kid!"
"A little kid that likes motorcycles…" Jack added. Maddie looked at him oddly and he answered her question by pointing behind her. Danny was mounting Johnny 13's bike again, which had been abandoned in the middle of the road. That was probably the only reason why traffic was still holding up. That, and Maddie and Jack were still standing in everyone's way.
"Vrooooooom!" Danny said for the second time and cranked the handle causing the bike to shoot off.
"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Was the last thing Jack and Maddie heard…
"Oh…I just know your stupid bad luck shadow hurt him Johnny!" Kitty said worriedly. Johnny sighed. That kid was getting more attention than he was at the moment and frankly, he didn't like it.
"Kitty come ON! I stole that stupid ghost portal thing again, just so you and me could have some time together! And now you're obsessing about some stupid kid!"
"Stupid?" Kitty spat, turning her now furious attention back to her boyfriend, "You don't like kids?"
"No," Johnny said bluntly, "I can't stand 'em!"
"So you haven't thought about me and you having kids when we get married?" She asked, still hissing out her words.
"Of course not!" Johnny laughed, missing her hatred entirely. He caught it a tad to late. Kitty was about to strangle him. She probably would have too if Shadow didn't come rushing back to Johnny's feet, completely exhausted.
"Shadow…" Kitty started, a little uneasy, "Where's the little kid?" Shadow didn't answer, he didn't even come out. He just stayed at her boyfriend's feet.
"Kitty, I'm sorry," Johnny apologized, ignoring the girl's concern, "I love kids! Really I do! But Danny Phantom is the kid that messed up our relationship last time…and I don't want that to happen again." Kitty looked at Johnny who kicked the dirt and stuck his hands deep in his pockets. The girl smiled at him.
"Oh Johnny, I understand," She kissed her boyfriend and looked out toward the cliff, "I just don't want him to get hurt is all…" The sound of a roaring bike making its way up the side of the cliff broke the silence. Johnny frowned and turned to see what was coming. His frown fell further when he realized that it was the same kid that interrupted them last time.
"Ah man!" Danny said, jumping off the motorcycle and letting it fall to the ground, "I tink it's bwoken!" He fell into a giggling fit. Kitty squeaked with excitement after what was happening just sunk in. In a quick motion, the she rushed up to Danny and scooped him in an enormous hug.
"You're okay! Aww! I was so worried!" Johnny sighed. He gave up with Kitty and decided to see what he could do about his bike. He gasped when he saw the handlebars.
"I thought that mean shadow got a hold of you! Don't do that! You scared me!"
"Kitty…" Johnny barely whispered. The thing he was looking for was clutched tightly in the toddler's hand.
"Kitty…"
"You poor, poor thing! I'm so glad you came back!"
"Kitty! He has the portal!" Kitty gasped and pulled away from her hug. Johnny was right, Danny was moments away from hitting the button and he would have if Kitty didn't snatch it away.
"Wow," Kitty sighed with relief, "That was close…"
"Here," Johnny said, also relieved and clapping his hands over Kitty's, "I'll put it back on the-" Johnny froze when he realized what he just did. When he reached for the portal, he hit the button…
Before any of them knew what was happening, all three ghosts were being forced into the Ghost Zone. Johnny's bike disappeared the moment they were gone and the portal fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces.
Danny's in the Ghost Zone! He's going to lose Johnny and Kitty really really fast. I had to bring him in the Ghost Zone because Clockwork's there. Yep, that's right, Clockwork...I had to do him okay! I mean, I love the guy! He's the best and Danny's really going to be messing with the stupid Observants more than the master of time himself. Yeah, I don't like them that much...
