*Sammy & Daniela's Journal (Shared)

May 10

Mom decided to get us each a "journal" to write our thoughts in, but Danni and I decided that we are going to use it to send messages to each other instead.

-Sammy

Geeze, Sammy. Can't you be any more obvious? Mom almost found this. She really only wanted us to write out our own thoughts, in our own books. Have you decided on how we're going to prank Alex?

-Danni

Yeah. This one'll make him think twice about trying to scare us. I'm going to hide the power packs to his electronics in various locations of his house with really confusing notes as to where each one is.

-Sammy

Perfect. Hey, Big Brother, where'd you hide the candy? I really want some sixleys.

-Danni

They're called sixlets, and Mom doesn't want you on another sugar-high today. Besides, IT'S MY CANDY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! You ate all of yours already, anyways.

-Sammy

Alright already, geeze, you don't have to "yell" at me through this thing. Your dirty looks do enough of that anyways. Let's go and prank Alex now.

-Danni (PhantomBrat)

Why "PhantomBrat" Danni?

-Sammy

We're gonna need codenames if we plan on using the "Talkies" to communicate.

-Danni

Alright then.

-Sammy (Phantom1)

That's a lame codename, Sammy. How's about "PrankMaster"?

-Danni

Perfect, little sis. Let's get our cousin back.

-Sammy

Alex is such a baby.

-Danni

You're such a klutz, Danni.

-Alex

Darn it, Alex. This is mine and Danni's journal. How'd you break our coding anyways?

-Sammy

Easy. You two reused the coding, with a few alterations, that we all came up with to pass notes in class easily. Plus you two left the key in the back. Duh, Sam-man.

-Alex

DON'T call me Sam-man, dude. Besides, you're throwing such a sissy-fit got us grounded. And guess what that means for you when you come over.

-Sammy

No clue, Cuz.

-Alex

No videogames since Dad is going to take them away for two weeks.

-Sammy

Aww, man tha…I don't think I'm going to let Alex continue writing in OUR journal, Sammy. So I took it back.

-Danni

September 16

Happy B-Day, Big Brother. Wanna shove cake in Alex's face when Aunt Jazz and Mom aren't looking during our "shared party"?

-Danni

I don't know, sis. By the way, Happy Birthday to you too. I noticed that you ran into the backdoor again. Does Mom know yet?

-Sammy

Nope, but she will when she sees either my faceprint or my forehead. Dad still hasn't put up some sort of marker to let me know if the door's open or not.

-Danni

I can't believe that Gramps ate like half the cake. I guess he really likes our birthday parties because Grams lets him eat all the cake and ice cream he can handle.

-Sammy

I thought it was funny when Alex tripped and faceplanted in his piece of cake. Did you happen to have anything to do with that?

-Danni

Shhhhh. Yeah I did. Two words… "Fishing Line." I cleaned it up before Dad noticed it.

-Sammy

Good one, Big Brother. Who's the next prank victim?

-Danni

September 17

I think I'm gonna prank Jake. He's been asking for it after that incident at lunch last week.

-Sammy

Jake? Do you mean the boy whose mom Dad used to crush on?

-Danni

That's the one. By the way, did you learn that from Mom or did you "accidentally" read it in Dad's old journals?

-Sammy

Oops.

-PhantomBrat

Now I know you read this in Dad's journals. You really only sign with "PhantomBrat" when you've either done something, or are up to something.

-Sammy

August 25

I can't believe that one of us had lost this in the couch. I guess it's a good thing that Mom and Dad can't read this without the coding index. By the way, I don't know if it's just me, or both of us, but I feel a bit off.

-Danni

It's both of us, because I feel off too. My lamp was flickering a bit last night and I just changed the bulb two nights ago.

-Sammy

Do you think we should tell Mom and Dad?

-Danni

No, it might freak them out. Besides, it could have been a slight powersurge.

-Sammy

August 30

That was an interesting day. I think that we're the cause behind the weirdness at school.

-Danni

I totally agree, Danni. By the way, how's your head?

-Sammy

Sore. Dash Jr. pulled my braid pretty hard. I think I'm gonna raid the utility drawer and take the superglue to school when it reopens.

-Danni

Why superglue?

-Sammy

To superglue his pencils to the inside of his desk, spelling out "MORON".

-Danni

HAHAHAHAHAH. That's gonna have to be done when everyone's out of the classroom. Want help?

-Sammy

Sure. It is his fault that Mrs. Chan tried to move you away from me. I think Dad's coming up from the basement.

-Danni

August 31

I had a nightmare and blew up the lightbulb. NOW I have to replace the bulb again.

-Sammy

At least you didn't do what I did and fall through the bed this morning. I think we SHOULD tell Mom and Dad what's going on.

-Danni

No way, Danni. This MIGHT not be normal.

-Sammy

I think Dad's gonna give us a speech any day now.

-Danni

What gives you that idea?

-Sammy

He's got that look, and he's been in the basement pacing.

-Danni

Do you mean the look he had a few days after finding the spool of fishing line in my bedroom last year?

-Sammy

Pretty close. I think he's worried about something.

-Danni

September 2

I can't believe that we're part GHOST! I can't believe that Mom and Dad never told us until now. I think this is the "talk" that Dad wanted to have with us since the school incident.

-Danni

Me either. That spill you took when you went through the stool hurt. I could feel it. Are you ok?

-Sammy

Yeah. I just want to have the problem you have with the invisibility thing. Passing through stuff when I'm sitting on it hurts.

-Danni

Wanna tell Alex? Dad said that we could seeing that he can keep secrets quite well.

-Sammy

Better yet, let's show him.

-PhantomBrat

There's that signature again. What are you planning this time.

-Sammy

Let's scare him. I'll tell you in the playroom while we raid the prank kit.

-PhantomBrat

I see where you're going with this.

-PrankMaster

September 3

I can't believe that Dad took the prank kit. Now what am I gonna do?

-Sammy

I managed to get the joy-buzzer. Wanna shock the Box Ghost when we "see" him at school between classes?

-PhantomBrat

Most definitely, little sister. You truly have a hidden prank streak. However do you manage to stay out of trouble?

-PrankMaster

Easy. I run before I get caught and leave no evidence behind, Big Brother.

-PhantomBrat

September 10

That was so funny! How did you manage to prank the Box Ghost? By the way, Danni and Sammy, you really shouldn't leave this in an open backpack.

-Alex (TooCool4ACodeName)

That's too long, Alex. Sammy and I were calling you PrankVictim. Anyways, I agree with Alex on the best prank ever! That was priceless. How did you get the joy-buzzer to affect him anyways?

-PhantomBrat

I worked on it all week and got it to where it only affects "full" ghosts, so we're safe. I just went up to the Box Ghost and asked to shake his hand. He looked stunned, but took my hand to shake it and BZZZZZZZZZZZT! His hair's probably going to be on end for a week.

-PrankMaster

Why call me "PrankVictim"? That's not cool.

-Alex (MayAsWellCallMeTargetPractice)

You just keep working on a codename, because you may end up as target practice with one like that. Besides, I don't think that Dad was too pleased when he saw us laughing after that prank. He looked pretty upset that we came in contact with the Box Ghost in the first place.

-PhantomBrat

I think you should go with PrankVictim for now, seeing as how you've fallen for so many of my pranks.

-PrankMaster

I don't know. I think I'm gonna use something a bit more personal. Danni calls herself "PhantomBrat", while you go by "PrankMaster". I'm gonna use, aww, nuts. I can't use "TechnoGeek", that's Dad's username. I guess it's TechnoAddict.

-TechnoAddict

That's perfect.

-PhantomBrat

September 11

Dad took my buzzer. I don't think I'm gonna get it back either. This stinks.

-Sammy

I think Dad's gonna enjoy his "new" toy. I think that weird robot-ghost-thing that's always picking fights with Dad just went by with a new hairstyle…Spikey.

-PhantomBrat

PS. I hear Dad laughing outside.

Mom thinks that my invention is so funny. Dad told her what it does. I can't believe that I made a simple, normal prank into one that affects full ghosts and now Dad's tossed it into the weapons vault.

-PrankMaster
