Danny is missing and now his friends are going to look for him. You're gonna love this next chapter and who the ghost that's haunting the school is. Review please!
Ryan had to rush to catch up with Maria who was anxious to find Danny. The boo-merang started moving left, right, and then left again. The item flew right inside a tall house, and then downstairs. The ghostly teenagers heard a sound from above the stairwell after seeing the device fly down the stairs.
"Ow!" a boyish voice yelped that was from non other than Danny.
"Danny!" Maria cried in gleam as she flew downstairs and found Danny sitting on a couch by Sam watching TV. "Are you okay? How'd you escape and... what are you doing?"
"Escape? Oh right, the ghost kidnaped me two days ago. He brought me to the real world and I escaped right after I woke up," Danny explained.
"Then why didn't you return two days ago!" Ryan glared.
"Ok, so I played hooky for a few days. If I hadn't have done that, I wouldn't give you this information: The ghost that's causing the mayhem in our school was the janitor, but he wasn't any of the new comers. I probably would've suspected this if I had known this guy was promoted last year."
"You know his name?" Maria asked.
"The Box Ghost was the janitor, but he didn't kidnap me. Bertrand kidnapped me. I'd know that sleeping gas anywhere," Danny explained.
"The box what?" Ryan asked while cocking his eyebrows.
"Yeah, all the good ghost names were taken," Sam said sarcastically.
"I mean. Why would a ghost name himself the Box Ghost. I mean what is this, Halloween. It sounds like he's trying to scare people and is doing a lame job at it," Ryan explained as Danny and Sam gave emotionless looks.
"In this world, the humans are... well the innocent people and the ghosts are the scary creatures that haunt you at night," Danny explained to Ryan and Maria as the ghost teens gave surprising looks.
"You mean humans are... afraid of us?" Maria asked before Pam opened the front door and saw the two ghostly teenagers.
"AHHHHH GHOST!" Pam cried before rushing out the door.
"Does that answer your question?" Sam asked sarcastically.
"So, what is this about Bertrand and the Box Ghost working together? Are there any other ghosts?" Ryan asked.
"There are. Bertrand kidnapped me to scare the students and to get me out of the way," Danny said.
"I thought you said that the hauntings of the school had to do with you," Maria said.
"It does, but these guys are after the students," Danny warned before he got out of the couch and changed into his ghost form. "Follow me."
Danny carried Sam bridal style and took off into the sky. Maria and Ryan followed their friend who was heading toward the portal that lead to his dorm room. Danny put his girlfriend down before his friends ended up in the room with him.
"So, what's the plan?" Sam asked.
"We'll play along. Have a little fun with these... humans. You can't have a ghostly haunted school without humans, so we'll bring humans," Danny planned before facing Sam.
"You want me to haunt a school?"
"Sorta. School will be starting tomorrow. Everyone will still be thinking I'm missing, which gives me a good excuse to use my human half. It's time for us to have a little fun."
"Do you really think this will work?"
"One way to find out. I'll explain the whole plan to you, Sam."
"What about us?" Ryan asked.
"You guys go to school, but when you go to second period, make sure you pass the 200 hall," Danny told Ryan and Maria.
"Alright," Ryan agreed.
"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Maria asked worriedly.
"Believe me, he does," Sam said.
"Ok, since Sam here is going to be involved, where the heck are we going to have her sleep? The floor?" Ryan glared with his arms crossed.
Danny showed a smirk as Maria's and Sam's eyes widened. Sam knew exactly what Danny was thinking.
"Oh no Danny. There is no way I am sleeping..." Sam argued, but Danny eventually won over his girlfriend's stubborn attitude.
Sam got changed into her PJ's before rolling up the sleeping bag.
"I cannot believe I am sleeping in this stupid sleeping bag," Sam complained. It was one thing if she was to be using a sleeping bag in the woods, since the soft grass made a great comfortable bed, but a sleeping bag on a bare floor was a pain.
"If you want to, you can sleep on my bed and I can sleep on the sleeping bag," Danny suggested.
"Sleep on your stinky wet bed? PASS!"
"Hey, that was two years ago! You know I don't wet my bed anymore!"
"Or so you say. I hope you don't snore."
"You mean like you?"
Sam threw a pillow at Danny's face.
"I do not snore!" Sam glared.
"Actually, you do. I was returning your school books a few months ago and for some reason you were sleeping at five noon. You snored like..."
"Would you stop talking about how loud I snore and go to sleep?"
"Fine. I love you."
"I love you too. More than life itself."
"I love you more than anything in the universe, so you can stop being jealous of Maria," Danny teased.
"Shut up and go to sleep!"
"Ok, goodnight."
"Night."
Meanwhile, behind Ryan's door, Maria was talking to Ryan about Danny's plan and not being sure about what Danny was doing. She had happened to have heard Danny's and Sam's little playful act. Ryan was chuckling about the fact that Danny used to wet his bed and that Sam snored. Maria was enjoying it too until she heard the words 'I love you'. Sam was Danny's girlfriend. Maria felt hurt and embarrassed that she did not see this.
"It's okay, Maria. Danny already knew about it anyway. It's not like your friendship is ever going to change," Ryan told Maria.
"No, no, it's not that. I... I just wish that were me," Maria admitted before she headed toward the door that exited out of the room. Danny's room and Ryan's room were both connected to one door. They had a door to their roommate's room and a door to the halls. Ryan could open his dorm room door and end up at Danny's room or his room. It was confusing and weird, but awesome.
Maria left the dorm room and went into hers. She didn't cry, but she felt really sad and hurt. She hoped to get over Danny soon before things got out of hand. Maria eventually dozed off to sleep.
