Chapter 3: Nightmare 36
1 hour and 20 minutes left,
"Couldn't you three find a way to contact Phantom?" Valerie asked kicking herself for not asking this an hour ago
"Phantom's…a bit under the weather" Sam said
"Ghosts can get sick?" Valerie asked
"Phantom's only half ghost" Danny informed her
"So…what's the other half?" she asked
"How should we know?" Sam asked
"Where are all the models?" Tucker asked, still blindfolded and taking his happy place too seriously
"They're on vacation in Hawaii" Sam told him
"WHAT?" Tucker exclaimed as he pulled the hat back from his eyes and realized that he had taken his happy place too serious. He groaned "Man! Nightmare 36!"
"What IS Nightmare 36?" Valerie asked
"Locked in a haunted hospital with no weapons and no Danny Phantom to save us" Tucker said. "Can you imagine what a ghost would do with a scalpel?"
"What a ghost could do is my nightmare 37" Danny told his friend. "36 is my parents"
"Why your parents?" Valerie asked
"Have you MET my parents?" Danny asked "Once they thought Jazz was a ghost and they kept attacking her. What if they start thinking that I'M a ghost...which would be crazy becasue OBVIOUSLY I'm alive"
"Well," Sam said going back to the topic. "MY nightmare 36 is being stuck in an elevator with a crybaby, a weakling, and someone out to kill one of my friends"
"What about yours' Valerie?" Tucker asked
"Finding out that my best friend is my worst enemy" Valerie admitted
The trio froze in spot. Seemed like EVERYONE'S Nightmare 36 was coming true that day (or 37 in Danny's case), because Skulker appeared holding a scalpel.
"I've got you now Welp! And I will skin you here and now if I must!"
"Let's see…" Sam figured as she formed a huddle with the others "We're without weapons, Danny can't use his powers, and Someone broke the thermos an hour ago"
"Run?" Danny and Valerie asked
"Run" Sam and Tucker confirmed
"AAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHH!" the kids screamed before running thus confusing the ghost ghost-hunter who was used to them fighting
"Never thought I'd actually be running from Skulker" Danny panted as he ran
"When we get out of this," Sam told Tucker. "you are going to charge every last P.D.A. in your arsenal"
"I've already made a mental note to do that" Tucker said
"Danny? How much longer until those abilities come back so you can phase us out?"
Danny looked at his watch
"One hour and 10 minutes"

A/N: I KNOW the chapters are short, but I just break them up by how I see fit. The way I started writing stories was I write them as one-shots, finish them, THEN break them apart by chapters and add any notes as I break them down. That way, unlike my earlier stories, you won't have to deal with that little annoying thing known as my writer's block.
