Hiya! Well, here's the winner, but you have to read to figure out which one it is.
"Ugh! Abby, would you stop it already?! I'm not even doing anything!"
"Says you! If you weren't doing anything, then why are you here in the first place?!" Abby interrogated.
The two were having their usual battle. They were hovering over a deserted parking lot outside the mall. Jake's ghost sense had gone off, so he went to defeat the attacking ghost. Unfortunately, Abby decided to crash the party right after he had captured the ghost. Now, he was forced into their little game of cat and mouse. She threw the attacks, he dodged them. He'd only attack when necessary and it would only be a weak attack.
"If you must know, some other ghost attacked here and I had to drive it away before it hurt anyone." Shadow explained annoyed.
"That's me and my Dad's job! So just buzz off and leave it to the professionals!" The ghost girl countered.
"I'm just trying to help!" Shadow complained.
"Well, we don't want your help!" She screamed in response. With that, she started launching ecto-blasts at him.
Shadow put up a red shield. The green balls of energy bounced off his defense. Abby was getting angrier and angrier with this ghost. She was about to charge at him when she suddenly felt firm hands hold her shoulders. She growled and twisted around to see her father restraining her.
"Dad, let go!" She commanded.
"Honestly, I can't leave you alone for ten minutes, can I?" Danny questioned rhetorically.
"Don't blame me! If it wasn't for him…" She trailed off when she pointed in Shadow's direction to realize that he was no longer there. She growled in realization.
Later, Jake was back at the house, doing his homework. Luckily, his grades didn't suffer too much. With his Dad taking over most of the fighting, he rarely needed to actually fight, but it made it a whole lot quicker. Lately, he had shown up at every fight unless he was in the middle of a test or something. Abby showed up at the fights frequently too and managed a C average.
Abby stormed through the door with Danny close behind her. Danny seemed a little ticked (at Abby), while Abby was absolutely furious.
"Dad, I was so close! I almost obliterated that idiot ghost until you showed up and stopped me." Abby complained.
Jake stopped paying attention to his homework to listen. He got angry when she called him an idiot and his eyes flashed red. Luckily, no one noticed the way he was now glaring at her or the sudden change in his eye color.
"Abigail Lilith Fenton, you will not talk to your father like that!" Danny ordered sternly.
"Why can't you just see that Shadow s an evil ghost?! He's not like us! He just wants to gain our trust so that he can betray us. This is all some villainous plan!" Abby argued.
Jake made sure he returned his eyes to their normal violet shade before getting up and stepping in. He walked over there in a manner that was as composed as he could manage right now and stepped beside his Dad.
"Abby, give the guy a break." Jake said in fake calm. His face still showed that he was ticked at his sister.
"Jake?! How the heck could you be siding with that dirty ghost?! He kidnapped you!" Abby reasoned.
"Yeah, but he's done some good things since then and plus, he apologized!" Jake spat.
"What is it with you two?! Does Shadow have you under some sort of mind control?!" The fourteen-year-old girl fumed.
"Why can't you just let it go?!" Jake interrogated.
"Why can't you accept the fact that he's evil?! You are so stupid!" Abby retorted.
Fortunately, she had not noticed that Jake's eyes had flashed red again.
"Alright you two, break it up. Abby, go to your room. Jake, go back to doing your homework." Danny commanded.
Abby stomped up the stairs. Jake's eyes resumed their violet color and he was half-way back to the kitchen table when his ghost sense went off. He realized that his father's had gone off as well.
"Ghost trouble. I'll be right back. Make sure your sister stays in her room." Danny ordered. "Goin' ghost!" He shouted (oh, come on, that battle cry is just too cute to not use).
Danny made his signature transformation. A white ring of light appeared at his waist where it split into two. One moved upward while the other continued in the opposite direction. Danny's normal attire was traded in for a black and white HAZMAT suit bearing his DP symbol. His messy, raven black hair became a snowy white. Danny's normally icy blue eyes switched into a glowing green. Once the transformation was complete, the muscular Danny Phantom stood there in all of his ghostly glory.
Danny flew toward the ceiling and phased through it, leaving Jake alone.
"Should I?" Jake contemplated. "Oh, what the heck."
Jake brought up the pair of black rings and created his similar transformation. Instead of his normal clothes forming into a black and white jumpsuit, they became a black and red jumpsuit. A black cape with a red underside appeared around his shoulders and draped down his back. His hair was still black, but now flaming and held down by a red bandana. The lower half of his now tan face was covered with another bandana, only black. His once violet eyes now turned to a fierce red. He was no longer Jake, he was Shadow.
Shadow also flew outside via phasing. He instantly spotted the battle and invisibly approached. It looked like his Dad was on top of things. He was already half way to weakening Desiree enough to suck inside the Fenton Thermos. Danny was so close until…
"Don't worry Dad, I got her!" Abby yelled.
She fired an ecto-blast, but it missed and knocked Danny's Thermos away.
"Foolish girl! Although, I guess I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I would be trapped in that infernal device." Desiree smirked. Desiree had learned how to not grant wishes that included sending her back to the Ghost Zone, so Danny couldn't just wish her away anymore.
"Abby." Danny groaned angrily.
"Ta!" Desiree bid goodbye and started to fly off.
"Not so fast." Shadow commanded, becoming visible and taking out his own version of the thermos. With that, he activated the small device and the red beam pulled the wishing ghost inside.
"What?! No!" She yelled as she was tugged inside.
Shadow's eyes held a triumphant look and you see the wrinkles in his bandana that formed a smirk. He slipped the cap on and retracted the containment device into a more compact size.
"Hey, you! I thought I told you to get lost." Abby was really ticked when she said this.
"I'm going already, jeez." Shadow told her tiredly. He really couldn't take any more of his sister's arrogance.
He was about to fly away when he felt a sharp pain in his back. Abby had given him one last ghost ray blast. Unfortunately, this caused his Fenton Thermos 2.0 to slip away from him and fall to the ground, coincidentally landing on the release button. Green smoke poured from it and the body of Desiree started forming.
"Yes, I am free again!" She shouted. Then, the wishing ghost flew off.
Shadow glared at Abby and scowled.
"Look what you did!" Abby shouted. "You let her out!"
"I let her out?! If you didn't zap me, none of this would have happened!" Shadow argued heatedly.
"None of this would have happened if you just stayed in the Ghost Zone where you belong!" She countered.
"So blame me for trying to help! If it were a ghost you already knew, you'd have no problem! Admit it!" Shadow shouted.
"If it were a ghost I trusted, then yes! I don't trust you and you haven't done anything to earn my trust!" Abby spat.
"So I screwed up a few times, it's not like you're Ms. Perfect either! Besides, you've hated me before I even did anything!"
"That's because it was completely obvious that you were evil!"
"You just thought I was evil because I don't look like you! You think that just because I look different, I'm a bad ghost!"
"That's not true! You've done loads of stuff to prove that you're evil!"
"Not back when you first met me! You blasted first! Besides, I didn't even do half of those things willingly! Do you know what it's like to have people judge you because of the way you look?! I wish that you could see what it's like when people think you're evil just because you look different!"
"Hey, it's not easy being a Phantom either. People always crowd you and you don't get a real personal life. I wish you knew what that was like!"
"No! Do you two realize what you just did?!" Danny butted in.
The ghost teens looked confusedly up at the slightly panicked father.
"Um, no." They replied in unison.
"And so you have wished it, so shall it be!" The voice of Desiree screamed joyously.
