REALITY TRIP PART 1

It was 8 o'clock in the morning and it was officially the last day of school and the start of summer vacation for the students of Casper High.

"Oh crud! Of all days to oversleep!" Danny groaned as he put on his usual t-shirt and then he quickly fixed up his unruly hair.

Dayla then came running in, "Danny we have to leave now or Lancer's gonna keep us in on the last day of school"

Danny then smirked and said, "Then let's take the aerial route"

Dayla smirked and then they both changed into their ghost forms and flew out the window. Jack was in the shower scrubbing himself and then he gasped as he saw Danny and Dayla outside his window floating in the air.

They both then heard him shout angrily at them, "You ghost kids! When I get my hands on you, I'll tear you two apart molecule by molecule!"

He then pulled out a Fenton Bazooka from the shower and fired at them, they both yelped as they dodged and then started flying away to school.

"This is a perfect example on why we won't be going ghost on our Fenton Family Vacation" Dayla said.

"Listen to me when I'm talking to you!" They barely heard Jack scream.

"It's summer! Starting at three thirty, we don't have to listen to anyone for a long time" Danny exclaimed as they flew past the Amity Park Penitentiary.

Inside the prison, in the middle of a laboratory was Freakshow in handcuffs on a chair. Freakshow came to Amity Park a few months ago with his circus, he used a mind controlling staff and took control of Danny and Dayla and made them steal money and jewellery but thanks to their friends, they were able to break free and turn him over to the police.

Agents O and K from the Guys in White walked and stood in front of him. Agent K then said, "I hope you've been enjoying your stay with us Freakshow"

"Ooh the Guys in White. Top secret ghost catchers who can't actually catch ghosts" Freakshow mocked with a smirk.

Agent K smirked as he then pulled out a remote and pushed a button, a light suddenly came on behind them and there floating in suspended animation in some sort of pod was Lydia. She was one of Freakshow's minions.

"Care to revise that statement?" Agent O asked.

"Lydia!" Freakshow gasped.

"She's no longer under your control" Agent K said.

He glared at the two agents and asked bitterly, "What do you want?"

"Your knowledge of ghostly items. Anything you care to tell us about this?" Agent O asked as he pushed a button on another remote.

A table then came out from the floor and on it was some sort of metal arm length gauntlet with five slots on top of it and sitting in front of it were four gems, a red one, a yellow one, a blue one and a purple one. Freakshow's eyes widened at it.

"The Reality Gauntlet! Uh…never heard of it" Freakshow said.

"We know how you envy ghosts and we believe this to be an object of enough spectral energy to eradicate ghost's forever" Agent O said. He then pulled out a picture of Danny and Dayla in their ghost forms. "Perhaps including these two"

Freakshow then grinned and said, "Ah that Reality Gauntlet! I believe I may have heard about it after all"

Agent O then pushed another button on the remote and released Freakshow from the handcuffs, he then stood up and walked up to the gauntlet. He placed a hand on his chin and observed it.

"Now then the Reality Gauntlet. Hmmm…well I don't know that much about it, but I do believe these gems play a key role" He said. "Uh may I try it on?"

"I suppose so. It doesn't work anyway" Agent K said.

"Joy!" Freakshow responded and then put the gauntlet on his arm. He then picked up the red gem and placed it in the bottom slot, "Each of these gems has a power. The red one is the Gem of Life, it can make anything come alive"

He then picked up the yellow once and placed it in the next slot, "This one is the Gem of Form, and it can transform anything into anything else…uh so I've been told"

Agent O gave him a suspicious look as he then picked up the blue one and placed it in the slot, "This is the Gem of Fantasy, it can make your dreams real"

Agent K then gave him a suspicious look. He then picked up the purple gem and placed it in the next slot, "And this one is the Gem of Ĝemeloj, it has the power to make one object into two. It can even have the power to make two copies of the Reality Gauntlet and the gems but that's only if a pair of twins were to use the gauntlet. These gems if touched in the proper sequence, will allow the wearer to control all reality. But the gauntlet is useless without its power source"

He just kept smiling at their suspicious looks, he then pulled his red triangular earing off and said, "Which I just so happen to have right here"

They both gasped and were about to draw their weapons to stop him, but they were too late as he had already put the power source onto the gauntlet and it activated, the Gem of Life then glowed as he raised his fist in the air.

"Have a little taste of the Gem of Life!" He exclaimed as he sent a blast of its power at their guns.

The guns then came alive and wrapped themselves around the agents, pinning their arms to their sides and causing them to fall to the ground.

"Now that's what I call living!" He exclaimed. He then looked down at the gauntlet and remembered that for now he could only use one gem at a time. He then said, "Blast! If I only knew the secrets to activate all the gems, I could control all reality"

He then walked over and reached into Agent K's suit pocket and pulled out the remote, he then placed it into the key hole and released Lydia from her prison. She smiled at her newfound freedom and then bowed before Freakshow, she may no longer be under his control but she was the only one willing to work alongside him. She then grabbed onto him and phased him out of the prison and flew through the air over Amity Park.

"What shall we do with our newfound freedom? Dinner? Movie? Make myself Ringmaster of all Reality?" Freakshow asked getting all excited and as they continued to fly over the town, Freakshow laughed evilly into the air.

In the football field at Casper High, there was a stage all set up for the End of School Year Concert and Dumpty Humpty was going to be playing. The school bell rang and all the students cheered as they ran out of the school and started heading towards the stage, Danny, Sam, Tucker, Dayla and Andrew were the last ones out holding a piece of paper in their hands.

"Finally! I've been looking forward to this summer vacation forever" Danny said. "The five of us travelling together cross country seeing the sights. Starting off with Cape Canaveral Space Centre in sunny Florida…"

"The new National Art Museum in San Francisco…" Dayla continued.

"The Comic Book Sci-Fi and Fantasy Convention in sunny San Diego…" Tucker continued.

"And Gothapalooza in the bleak Nevada Desert" Sam finished.

"By the way Andrew where'd you pick to go?" Danny asked. Andrew answered, "The same as Dayla, I've wanted to go to that art museum since it opened a few months back"

"But tonight, we're gonna rock out at the Dumpty Humpty concert" Dayla said as they stopped by the stage.

Suddenly Jazz bumped into Danny causing her to drop a couple of books and bunches of paper all over the place.

"Geeze Danny watch it!" She snapped. He then snapped at her, "Geeze Jazz watch it!"

Dayla then saw the one of the books she dropped and read it out loud, "Ghost Envy for Dimwits: Ghosts are not the boss of me? What is this Jazz?"

Jazz finished picking up all the papers as she answered, "My college entry thesis is on Ghost Envy. College might be a year and a half away but you can never be too prepared. In fact, did you know that ghosts often…"

"Don't know! Don't care! Not listening" Danny said cutting her off as Dayla handed back her book. "From now on it's no more pencils, no more books…and no going ghost so our parents can't tear us apart molecule by molecule"

"It'll be nice to take a nice long break from all the ghost fighting we've been doing and from our parents threats" Dayla said as Jazz walked away.

"By the way, how did you two convince my parents to let me spend an entire summer with your parents?" Sam asked.

They both smirked as they remembered they overshadowed them a week ago and got them to allow Sam to go on this trip in the first place.

"Uh let's just say we finally got under their skin" Danny answered.

Suddenly the students started screaming and running away from the stage, they both looked up and gasped to see Lydia floating in the air grinning as she sent her tattoos everywhere scaring and attacking the students.

They both then heard the screams of Sam, Andrew and Tucker and looked up to see that they were being taken away by three of her bat tattoos somewhere.

"Remind me again, why do we hang out with twins who has ghostly enemies?" Sam asked.

"Because you have a crush on Danny" Andrew pointed out. "And Dayla is my girlfriend"

Danny and Dayla ran under the stage curtains and changed into their ghost forms and then phased out of there, they then flew around and got rid of the monstrous tattoos that were attacking the students. They blasted them with their ghost rays, Danny saw three of them hovering over a screaming Paulina and then blasted one of them.

"He loves me!" Paulina exclaimed.

He then blasted the second one. She then looked down and said, "He loves me not"

He then blasted the third one. She perked up and exclaimed in joy, "He loves me!"

Dayla saw a bunch of them attacking Dash and she sighed that she had to help him, so with a quiet groan she blasted them away. Dash smiled and shouted, "DAYLA PHANTOM YOU ROCK!"

"Uh thanks…I guess" She said and then she and Danny flew off to go find where those tattoos were taking Sam, Tucker and Andrew.

The tattoos carrying them flew to the train tracks. They then enlarged and expanded their wings and encased them within cocoons leaving only their head and feet free as they plopped to the ground. They all then looked up to see a familiar enemy grinning at them madly, Freakshow and he was still wearing the Reality Gauntlet.

"Freakshow!" They all exclaimed.

"In the flesh. How's tricks?" He asked. He then got mad as he asked, "Had a nice few months while I was rotting in jail because of you?!"

He was then suddenly blasted off his feet by Danny and Dayla. Danny then said, "Actually yeah. We've been working on our aim"

Freakshow then used the Gem of Life and blasted the power at the barbed wire fence, it suddenly sprung up and encased them within a large cacoon together. Freakshow grinned at the result.

"And so have I. Say hello to the Reality Gauntlet" Freakshow said. The Gem of Form then glowed as he said, "Which is twice as powerful now that I've activated the Gem of Form"

He sent a blast of its power at an oil truck which then changed into a giant metal monster with sharp teeth. Freakshow then activated the Gem of Ĝemeloj and blasted the power of it at it, it suddenly split and now there were two of them, but they didn't do anything.

Danny and Dayla squeezed out of the cocoon and flew in front of the metal monsters, they both then laughed at Freakshow.

"What are they gonna do? Rust on us?" Dayla asked jokingly.

"And Freakshow said 'Let there be life!'" Freakshow said as he blasted both the monsters with the power of the Gem of Life.

The monsters then came to life and both tried to punch them, they both managed to fly out of the way but then one of them grabbed Danny by his costume with its teeth, Dayla gasped and was about to go help when suddenly the other one grabbed her tightly with its hand and began squeezing her tightly causing her to scream. The other one shook Danny around in its teeth and then flung him to the ground, he landed near Freakshow. The other one stopped squeezing Dayla and then threw her to the ground in front of Freakshow, they both looked up at him weakly, they were now both covered with scratches and bruises.

Freakshow looked at the gauntlet in confusion, "Hmmm. That's odd, I commanded it to eat you and the other one to squash you. I need more practice"

They all then saw smoke in the distance, it then came closer and closer to reveal it was Agent O and K riding down the tracks in some sort of vehicle heading right towards them, they both gasped at the sight of the metal monsters ahead of them.

"The gauntlet is active" Agent O said. "This is bad"

"Very bad. When I file a report, I shall be affixing blame to you" Agent K said as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs from his pocket.

"Not if I affix it to you first" Agent O retorted as he pulled out his own pair of handcuffs. "FREEZE FREAKS!"

"Freeze? If you insist!" Freakshow said as he sent a blast of power from the Gem of Form at a cloud in the sky.

The cloud then changed into a smiling giant pile of snow and then fell right on top of Agent O and K and the two metal monsters, crushing them under really cold snow. Freakshow grinned at his accomplishment and then grabbed Danny and Dayla by the collar of their suits with one of his hands.

"Now where were we? Ah yes! I was going to ruin your lives the way you two ruined mine" He said.

The gauntlet glowed red as he raised his fist to strike them, Danny and Dayla then blasted him off them with a combined ecto blast and sent him flying to the ground, they both walked up to him with ecto energy in their hands.

"Show's over freak" Dayla said.

Suddenly they were both punched by Lydia really hard, they landed on their backs next to Sam, Tucker and Andrew. They both sat up and glared at them as Freakshow's old Circus Gothica train suddenly came up on the tracks.

"Looks like our little showdown is going to require a bigger audience" Freakshow said. "A much bigger audience!"

He then laughed evilly as the tattoos holding Sam, Tucker and Andrew let them go and returned to Lydia as she and Freakshow got on the train. Freakshow them activated the Gem of Life and sent its energy into the train, the train suddenly sprouted giant bat wings and flew away. Danny and Dayla stood up and grabbed onto Sam, Tucker and Andrew and got ready to leave.

"Guys what about Freakshow?" Andrew asked.

They both saw Agent O and K pop out of the snow and shivered madly as they rubbed their arms trying to get warm. They all then took to the air as Danny said, "Oh let the jerk-sickles handle him. We're on vacation"

"Besides, we got a concert to go to" Dayla said.

They all sat with the other students on the bleachers, they were only a few minutes away from the concert to start. Sam, Tucker and Andrew was looking at a book and was on a page about the Reality Gauntlet.

"The Reality Gauntlet consists of five gems which…" Sam began to read aloud when Danny cut her off.

"Guys come on its summer!" Danny said. Dayla then added, "Yeah that means no more pencils and no more books"

"You two might want to take a look at this book, especially the author" Tucker said.

Danny grabbed the book and then Dayla read out the author's name at the bottom of the page, "Frederick Isak Showenhower"

Sam then folded the page which then showed another name. They both read aloud in shock, "Freakshow"

"Okay now maybe we should be concerned here bro" Dayla said now having a bad feeling.

"Look as of right now, Freakshow is not our problem" Danny said as he handed the book back to Sam. The music then started playing, indicating the concert was about to start. "Ooh I love this part! This is where the band comes out of the giant egg"

The misters went on giving a smoky effect around the stage, when the smoke cleared the egg suddenly came to life and when it opened its mouth, it revealed the band now covered in real yolk. The crowd gasped and then suddenly Freakshow appeared on the stage.

"Are you kids ready to have a great summer? Because Dumpty Humpty had a great fall! AH HA!" Freakshow exclaimed.

Lydia then flew up and grabbed Sam, Tucker and Andrew away from the bleachers and brought them to the stage.

"Will this vacation ever start?" Danny asked.

Danny and Dayla both fell under the seats and changed into their ghost forms. Freakshow then said as he activated the Gem of Form, "The only thing better than an audience is a captive audience"

Suddenly the whole audience was tied down to the bleachers, Danny then appeared in the air and shouted as he charged at Freakshow, "Show's over Freakshow!"

"Au contraire. That's French for I bet this hurts!" Freakshow said as he raised a powered up fist and then punched him really hard in the face knocking him back.

Dayla then appeared behind him and kicked him in the back, Lydia then appeared and grabbed her by her tattoos and held her still. Freakshow stood up and punched her in the gut, Lydia threw her into one of the speakers which dented on impact.

Meanwhile at Fenton Works, Maddie and Jack were packing for their cross country trip while Jazz was trying to convince her parents to let her stay home.

"But I can't go on this trip. I need to write my thesis on Ghost Envy" Jazz said. "If only I could find someone that fits the bill"

Jack then saw the TV screen on the kitchen counter showing Lydia. He then screamed, "GHOST!"

Maddie gasped and then sat down on the table, knocking over Jazz's pieces of paper everywhere. Jazz sighed in annoyance and said, "That was easy"

They all watched the ghost fight live as Lance Thunder reported, "Its ghostly chaos at the Casper High's Schools Out Concert, where notorious Danny and Dayla Phantom are fighting for their afterlives"

Danny and Dayla stood in front of Freakshow on the stage ready to fight him, he then blasted the drum set with the Gem of Life and it changed into some sort of huge four legged spider. He then commanded it to attack them, it sprayed out some sort of ecto web and hit Danny and Dayla dead on attaching them to one of the football posts. They both found it difficult in attempting to free themselves from the sticky substance.

"Any last words?" Freakshow asked with his usual sickening grin. "Might I suggest, 'Argh! Freakshow don't hurt me!'"

Tucker and Andrew pulled down on Lydia's hood causing her to let go of him, Andrew and Sam, she screamed as she flew blindly straight into a Go Ravens sign. Sam then ran up and threw her book at Freakshow hitting him dead on in the head. He fell to the ground as the book hit, he sat up and picked up the book, he then noticed the page saved in the book and grinned as he looked at the page as he stood up.

"I see we have the same taste in authors" He said.

Sam then kicked the book out of his hands and then grabbed onto his arm that had the gauntlet on. He demanded getting annoyed, "LET GO GIRL!"

But she wouldn't, her hand then touched the yellow gem, Tucker then grabbed on and he touched the blue gem as he held on and then Andrew grabbed on and his hand was on the power source. They were all encased in a blue light and then were lifted into the air along with Freakshow. Danny and Dayla concentrated hard on their energy and broke free of the web, they both then flew up and grabbed onto the gauntlet.

Freakshow growled and threw them up in the air, they yelped and then landed back holding onto his arm for dear life. Danny then touched the red gem, Tucker touched the yellow gem, Dayla then touched the purple gem and Sam touched the blue gem. Freakshow smiled as he suddenly felt all the gems activate.

"You did it! You found the combination that activates all the gems, which means I control all reality!" Freakshow exclaimed.

"Guess again cue ball! As long as we're touching the gauntlet, we have just as much control as you do" Sam said.

"LET GO OF MY GAUNTLET!" Freakshow demanded as he swung them around trying to pry them off.

"Quick! According to the book, the gauntlet has a defense mechanism" Sam said to them as they were being shook around. "Think of a place to hide the gem you're holding"

They all closed their eyes and thought of where to hide each gem and then all of the gems suddenly disappeared from the gauntlet.

"NO! NOOO!" Freakshow screamed.

There was a bright flash of light and then Tucker, Sam and Andrew found themselves on the stage. They sat up and watched as the audience was freed and everything went back to normal, the crowd at first cheered but then gasped at the sight of a red ball hit the stage. The smoke cleared to reveal a really angry Freakshow and then Lydia appeared beside him.

"Blast! The gems are gone! We must flee but dramatically" Freakshow said.

Lydia then used her tattoos and then they were gone in a flash, two more balls of light crashed into the stage behind Sam, Tucker and Andrew. The smoke cleared to reveal a weak Danny and Dayla Phantom in pain, they both stood up and held their heads in pain but then the rings appeared thanks to the Reality Gauntlet and they suddenly changed back into Danny and Dayla Fenton.

They both then gasped and realised that they transformed in front of everyone, not just the audience but on live TV. All the students gasped in shock at them and they looked around to see news helicopters started to appear everywhere.

"Um…nobody saw that right?" Danny and Dayla asked hopefully but they already knew the horrible truth. The whole world now knows that Danny and Dayla Phantom are none other than Danny and Dayla Fenton!

"Holy sweat socks!" Dash exclaimed in shock. "Danny and Dayla Fenturd is Danny and Dayla Phanturd?!"

"And Danny is totally infatuated with me! This makes things so much easier for me!" Paulina squealed in excitement.

"Well it could be worse" Andrew said nervously.

"Really? How?" Dayla asked.

"Nobody move!" Agent K shouted as he and Agent O flew up to them on jetpacks.

The news crews continued to film the whole thing live on TV, Maddie and Jack continued to stare at the screen in shock.

"Our children is the ghost twins?!" Maddie asked.

Jazz jumped in front of the screen and said, "Now, now let's not go jumping into any insane conclusions"

They suddenly heard the door open and then in came Pamela and Jeremy Manson, Maurice and Angela Foley and Kimberly Knight, all looking really angry at Jack and Maddie.

"You! We were watching Extreme Nanny Makeover, when we found out your son and daughter was a ghost!" Jeremy shouted at Jack.

"Why are you yelling at us?! Your spooky ooky bat daughter has to be behind this!" Jack yelled back.

Maurice walked in between them and said, "Now fellas it's okay to point fingers as long as nobody's pointing them at my son"

"Or mine for that matter" Kimberly said.

"Okay maybe Danny and Dayla are the ghost kids, but it's not as though our ghost activities have ever put your families in any danger" Maddie said.

The house suddenly began to shake and they heard laughter and screeching coming from the vents, suddenly all of Lydia's tattoos sprung out and grabbed them all, they all then glared at Jack and Maddie.

"Until now" Jack corrected.

The tattoos circled them all and then they were gone. Back at the school Agent O and K circled around them still on their jetpacks.

"You two are coming in for questioning" Agent K said. Agent O then added, "And experiments. Lots and lots of really painful experiments"

"I don't think so!" Danny said. "Tucker, Sam grab hold of me and Andrew grab onto Dayla"

"We're going ghost!" They both shouted and then changed into their ghost forms.

The crowd cheered as they took to the air. Tucker then said, "Guys you're rock stars"

They however didn't get far when they suddenly changed back into their human forms and fell out of the air and crashed back onto the stage. They all sat up and held their heads in pain as Danny said, "That Reality Gauntlet explosion must've messed with our ghost powers"

Agents O and K then landed in front of them, ready to grab them. Sam then looked at the crowd and said, "I'll get us out of here"

She then grabbed them and pulled them over to the side of the stage and cried, "MOSH PIT!"

She then threw them into the crowd and they began to crowd surf them over them, Andrew then went next and then Tucker, before going herself Sam grabbed the book from the stage floor.

"They've lost their ghost powers. Get them!" Agent K ordered and then they flew after them.

They continued to crowd surf and then they dropped and hid in the middle of the crowd, they watched as Agent K and O flew over them and then they crawled out of the crowd and ran and hid behind the small locker building. Suddenly, five hands grabbed them and pulled them inside the room. The lights turned on to reveal some of the members of the football team and Paulina.

"You're helping us?" Danny and Dayla asked in unison.

"Well duh! You guys have been only helping us for like ever" Dash said.

Paulina then came up to Danny and gave him a kiss on his cheek, "Paulina Fenton. Hey I've finally wrapped my mind around it"

"Okay I'm feeling relieved and nauseated at the same time" Sam said with a frown.

Outside Agent O and K were scanning the area looking for Danny and Dayla, the door opened and then Dash along with Paulina and the other football team members came out, Danny and Andrew then came out wearing football uniforms and helmets, Tucker came out in the mascot costume and Sam and Dayla came out in cheerleading outfits and covering their faces with the large pom poms. They walked out of the school ground and took off the disguises, they then ran off into the woods near the school and started heading for Fenton Works. Morning came as they hid in the alley besides Fenton Works, they peaked to see if there was anyone there and much to their relief it was all clear.

"Okay. We'll zip in, get our stuff…" Danny began. Andrew cut him off and asked, "And then what? Run away from home?"

"Well choice do we have? The whole world knows our secret" He answered.

"However, if we can find Freakshow and get the gauntlet, we can change reality so none of this ever happened" Dayla said. They all then opened the front door and turned on the lights as they entered the house.

"It'll be better for everyone if we just…" Dayla suddenly stopped as they saw who was in the house. "Uh…disappear?"

They were surrounded by Agents O and K as well as other members of the Guys in White, all pointing guns at them, three of them grabbed onto Sam, Tucker and Andrew and held them back tightly.

"For those still counting, that's three times we've been grabbed today" Sam said. Andrew then added, "We're just magnets for trouble"

"Humans are secure! Take down the ghost kids!" Agent O commanded.

"Where are our mum and dad?" Dayla asked. Danny then demanded, "What have you done with them?!"

Unknown to them, Lydia had entered the room invisibly. She then commanded five of her bat tattoos to attach themselves to Danny, Sam, Andrew, Dayla and Tucker on their backs, they didn't feel anything as they invisibly went through their shirts and then she flew off.

"Daniel and Dayla Fenton, in accordance with the federal anti-ecto control act, Article 1 Sub-section A you two are under arrest" Agent K said.

"I'm only gonna say this once, let our friends go and get out of our house!" Danny demanded.

"Or what?" Agent O challenged.

"Or this!" They both said and then ran over to the wall.

Dayla broke the glass that was covering a red button and then Danny pushed it immediately, a red light came down and started flaring off and on as an alarm went off.

"Fenton Works Anti-creep Mode Activated" Jack's computerised voice announced. "Our special today is fudge…I mean pain"

Suddenly three claws came out of the walls and grabbed the agents holding Sam, Tucker and Andrew, forcing them to let them go and then slammed them against each other knocking them out. The agents then started firing their ecto weapons straight at them, but then a shield that looked like Jack's face popped out of the floor and deflected the blasts.

"What's going on?" Andrew asked.

"Our parents built a defence system into the house. The house will attack anything using ecto energy" Dayla answered.

"We're going ghost!" Danny and Dayla shouted and then changed into their ghost forms. But they changed back into their human forms as soon as the house started aiming weapons at them.

"Darn! If we go ghost the house will think we're an enemy. RUN!" Danny shouted.

They began to run but stopped as a three agents surrounded them and then charged right for them, the house then fired a few missiles out of the TV, the missiles changed into some sort of claw and attached the agents straight to the wall and gave them a small electric shock. Two claws then got to work and started grabbing and throwing the agents everywhere, knocking them all down to the ground.

"Where are your parents?" Sam asked.

"Probably looking for us" Danny said. Dayla then added with slight fear, "Or a scalpel to dissect us with"

All five of them then ran heading up the staircase, an agent jumped in front of them and pointed a weapon at them causing them to stop running. Suddenly a cardboard Jack popped out of the wall and smashed him against the wall on the opposite side, then a cardboard Maddie popped out of the other side and smashed him against the other side of the wall, he then screamed as he rolled down the stairs. They all moved out of the way and watched as the agent tumbled right into Agent O and K.

They all then ran to Jack and Maddie's room, Dayla moved the mat out of the way to reveal a circular metal panel and they all jumped out.

"Five to the Ops Centre" Dayla commanded the house.

A tube then came down and then all five of them were sucked up it all the way to the Ops Centre, they all coughed and gagged as they walked out of the refrigerator.

"Man! Your dad really needs to get rid of that ham" Tucker said in disgust.

All the agents went outside and attached grappling hooks to the Ops Centre and started climbing, Danny immediately started pressing buttons and then all the windows were now covered with metal shields. But then the agents started using lasers and began cutting holes in the roof, Dayla then ran over to the fridge and pressed the emergency button. The agents were thrown off the roof as the Ops Centre transformed into the Fenton Blimp and started flying off.

"The Fenton Blimp? What are we gonna do, bore them off our tail in a slow speed chase?" Sam asked sarcastically unimpressed.

"Not quite" Danny smirked. He then lifted the ham out of the fridge to reveal another emergency button and pressed it.

Suddenly it transformed from a blimp to a jet, Danny held onto the steering wheel as he tried to drive it while the others held onto their seats for dear life. They all then watched as they came closer and closer to Casper High.

"We're gonna destroy the school!" Tucker shouted.

"I don't know what to do!" Danny panicked.

"I do!" Dayla shouted. She then pressed the button that said Auto Jack, Danny jumped out of the drivers sear and sat next to Tucker as an inflatable Jack popped out and sat in the driver's seat and grabbed the steering wheel.

"Auto Jack activated. Please buckle up and pass the fudge" The Auto Jack said.

All five of them buckled up and screamed as they came closer and closer to the school, the Auto Jack then turned the wheel and went in the opposite direction. It flew down a street and then dived up in the air and took off at top speed out of Amity Park, they all then looked out the window to see Agent O and K flying after them in their own jets.

"It's after five! Why can't they quit like every other government employee?" Sam asked with annoyance.

Danny and Dayla changed into their ghost forms and got out of their seats, they both then placed their hands on the walls of the jet and concentred and started spreading their invisibility power through the entire plane.

Agent O saw that it was slowly turning invisible. He then commanded Agent K, "We're losing visual. Activate White Fang Tracking Device"

"White Fang?" Agent K asked unimpressed. Agent O said, "I don't name the stuff"

Agent K pushed a button and then suddenly a small claw fell out and attached itself to the jet as it fully turned invisible and they lost sight of it. A full day went by and Danny and Dayla were struggling to keep the invisibility up.

"Guys we lost them yesterday, you two can stop now" Andrew said.

Danny and Dayla groaned weakly as they dropped the invisibility and then fell the floor completely worn out as they changed back into their human forms. Andrew helped Dayla stand up, while Sam helped Danny up.

"We should contact your parents" Tucker suggested.

"And tell them what? We're sorry we've been lying to you and please don't rip us apart molecule by molecule?" Dayla asked. "Besides if they have anything to say to us, they can always contact us"

The communicator on the screen beeped, they both sighed believing it was their parents. Danny pressed the answer button as he said, "Here we go"

The screen turned on but it wasn't their parents, it was Freakshow! He grinned as he said, "Oh hello. I hope I'm not interrupting the worst day of your lives ever! But it seems, I need your help"

"You miserable freak! Why would we ever help you?" Danny asked in anger as they all glared at him.

"I'm sorry. Did I say need? I meant demand!" Freakshow laughed and then moved out of the way to reveal their families locked up in several train cages, they all gasped in fright at the sight.

"He's got my parents!" Sam exclaimed.

"He has all our parents!" Tucker corrected. Andrew then shouted, "Mum!"

"Mum! Dad!" Danny and Dayla exclaimed.

"Why look, I have something you want and you know the location of something I want" Freakshow said. "My gems which you five fools will retrieve if you ever want to see your families alive again! Oh an just to keep it dramatic, you have four days"

He laughed evilly and then the screen went static. Danny then said, "Five days? But we don't even know where to start looking"

Sam pulled out the book and said, "You know school being out or not, you really should listen more. We're the ones who hid the gems"

"Not only that, we already have one of them" Andrew said. He pulled out of his pocket the power source gem. Everyone went wide eyed at the sight as Tucker asked, "How'd did you get that?"

"While we were holding onto the gauntlet and after the first four gems disappeared, I quickly grabbed the power source before the explosion" Andrew explained.

"Awesome and the rest of them are safe at Gothapalooza" Sam said.

"And I was thinking of the Art Museum in San Francisco" Dayla said.

"And I was thinking of the Space Centre" Danny said.

"Looks like we're gonna get that cross country trip after all" Andrew said. Danny then pulled out a map and said, "Starting at Florida. Auto Jack, take us to Cape Canaveral, Florida"

"No fair! Why do we get to go to your place first?" Tucker asked Danny pouting.

"Does it matter? We're not here to have fun, we're here to look for the Reality Gems" Danny said as the jet flew around the Space Centre.

"Which according to Freakshow's book, they're activated by touch" Sam said as she looked through the book. Dayla then said, "So as long as nobody found it yet, maybe this will be easy"

The gem suddenly burned the boy's hand and he threw it howling in pain, the gem then landed on the nose of the space shuttle and spread its magical energy into it. The shuttle suddenly took off and changed into some sort of monster with sharp teeth, it turned around and started coming after the Fenton Jet with its jaws wide open.
