A/N: Handcuffs is this oneshot. I have no idea how this is gonna turn out, but whatever. This is definitely a continuation of one of my oneshots, but I'll go and force you to look back if you don't remember. It's one of those tricks some authors use to get their stuff re-read. And honestly, it works.

It had been two hours. We hadn't seen Skulker yet and we were all getting bored. Danny was looking somewhat anxious. "Danny, what's wrong?" I asked quietly, getting a feeling it was a halfa problem.

"Well, these handcuffs block my ghost powers, right?" Danny whispered back to me, making sure that nobody was around. I nodded as a response to his whispered question, "So, eventually, in about one or two more hours, my ice powers will overwhelm the cuffs and shatter them, breaking me free." I honestly didn't see the problem.

"So, what's the problem if your powers get you out of these handcuffs?" I asked. Danny looked at me with his eyebrows raised. "What?" I shrugged. "If there's something wrong with that statement, I'm sorry, but I'm tired." Danny rolled his eyes.

"So, you guys did everything in your power to break me out, right?" Danny asked. I sighed, knowing he was going to try and lead me t the answer.

"Right."

"So how would it look if I, being chained, suddenly got free of my cuffs, which were shattered?" Danny asked. I thought about it. Oh, right, his ghost powers that he's not supposed to have.

"Crap." I said. Danny raised his eyebrows.

"Exactly. But, times a thousand. And the worst thing is, I can't prevent it." Danny fumed. I sighed.

"But, you could chalk it up to a ghost overshadowing you. And it would get us out." I responded, trying to stay somewhat positive, which was what a lot of eye would think 'un-goth' of me. Stereotypes.

"Yeah, but then my parents could try and 'get rid of the ghost'. Because I can assure you, Valerie would report this to my parents." Danny replied, realistically.

"Yeah." I sighed, finally defeating the positive side that I don't often embrace. Danny snorted.

"I just find it funny that you, the goth who's supposed to be negative and dark, are being positive." Danny chuckled. I punched him in the arm softly.

"Stereotype!" I cried out, not talking softly anymore.

"Not for you." Danny responded, still chuckling.

"Hey!"

"It's true Sam. You're usually dark and pessimistic, not chipper and optimistic, and it's not because you're goth." Danny said, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. I frowned at him, scrunching my face up. Danny just smiled at me tauntingly.

"Dan-ny!" I complained, slapping him on his arm. Danny rolled his eyes. I groaned playfully.

"Aww, is Sammy upset?" Danny asked, like he was talking to a dog or a baby. Just then, Tucker walked over.

"Lovebirds!" He cried, then scurried back over to his corner. Danny and I shared a look.

"We're not lovebirds!" Danny and I cried simultaneously, both blushing. Though for me, it was more on reflex than anything else. I really did love Danny, and Tucker kept assuring me that Danny loved me back, but he thought Tucker was playing with him. Honestly, I would think that of Tucker, too, had Ember not cast that spell on Danny and he said that his heart was broken when I kissed Dash.

Right now, though, that's besides the point. I stalked over to Tucker, who squeaked something unintelligible, probably "Don't hurt me, Sam!". I made a grab for his shoulder, but he pulled out of the way and ran to the other side of the cage we were in. I turned around, making sure I looked truly angry. Everybody backed out of my way and I dashed over to Tucker. He barely squeezed by me an ran back. I finally caught him ten minutes later on the edge of his t-shirt sleeve, not even trying. When I went to punch him in the face, Mr. Lancer made a grabbed for my hand. I let my hand that was balling the t-shirt up go and dropped to the ground, laughing hard. Danny was cracking up, too, knowing I was just scaring Tucker.

"Hey!" Tucker cried with false indignation. He frowned. "I deserved that, right?" Tucker asked calmly. I nodded my head, and Tucker looked over to Danny, who was nodded his head. Tucker groaned and sat down in his corner, pretending to be sad. Danny and I burst out laughing again, and I think most of our peers joined in, too. Even Tucker joined in after a bit.

However, Tucker and I stopped laughing when we heard a 'snap!' and thump coming from Danny. Danny's eyes were cold as ice. I realized that Danny's eyes were glowing ice-blue, like when he was using his ice powers. His hand and ankle cuffs were scattered along the floor around him. Damn it. His ice powers had decided to overwhelm the power-blocking abilities. After a few seconds, most of the class reacted and gaped when they saw Danny's cuffs. I heard Danny curse softly in Esperanto. "Malbenita." (1) Everybody was silent for a minute. Then two. Then...

"Mr. Fenton, what happened?" Mr. Lancer asked carefully, breaking the silence. Danny bit his lip and muttered another cuss in Esperanto. "Fek!" (2)

"And can you do it again and maybe get us outta here?" Dash called out. Danny grimaced, biting his lip. He sighed.

"Okay. I can do it again and I will explain... later." Danny said. I widened my eyes, realizing that Danny had just bought himself some time for an excuse. I know most of the teachers at Casper High would deny this, but Danny really is a genius. Danny walked over to Valerie and concentrated. The wristbands shattered. Danny did the same to her ankle bands. Valerie looked at him suspiciously and then shrugged, walking away. I think she figured that he would give a plausible explanation later. Danny out his hand on the top of the bar and he concentrated. The bar snapped where he had put his hand. Danny did the same to the bottom, creating enough space for everyone to pass through sideways, at least.

Danny was the last one out. We all started to make our way through the forest. However, about thirty minutes later, there was a bunch of logs fallen in a clearing, clearly meant for people to sit on. Dash and his buddies sat down. Valerie sat, too. Only Danny, Tucker, and I remained standing.

"Okay. What did Danny do, and how did it happen?" Valerie demanded. I blanched. Danny and Tucker and I hadn't been over this yet. I didn't think they'd ask now. However, there was a faint rustling sound. Valerie snapped to attention, and so did Danny.

"Fen-turd! Answer the-" Dash started to say. Danny and Valerie shushed him at the same time. Danny's ghost sense went off while he was scanning the bushes. Danny tensed, having sensed the ghost, which was probably Skulker.

Danny pointed down a small path that lead away from the cage and wherever Skulker was. "Run!" Danny said. Everybody started to run the way Danny pointed, not thinking he would lie. However, before anyone could get far, Sulker popped up.

"Whelp?! How did you escape the cage?" Skulker asked incredulously. Valerie's eyes narrowed, noticing the nickname Skulker used for Phantom.

"You'll never know, tin-head." Danny called out, dropping into a fighting stance that rivaled Valerie's and his mother's. Skulker aimed his arm canon at Danny's head.

"No matter. I will still have your pelt, Whelp!" Skulker declared. All the other kids shivered at the thought. Danny rolled his eyes. The canon went off and Danny jumped out of the way, landing perfectly balanced on the balls of his toes. He dashed towards Skulker and gave a swift kick to his abdomen region, sending him flying back into a tree. Groaning, Skulker slid to the floor and aimed a small blue ray at Danny. Danny flipped over the ray and punched Skulker in the face, dislodging the head. Danny reached inside the suit, having already defeated Skulker, and grabbed the tiny green ghost by his tiny arm. Tucker must've been hacking into the suit, because it beep and suddenly flew away to an unknown location. Danny chuckled. "NO! I AM THE GHOST ZONE'S GREATEST HUNTER! I WILL NOT BE DEATED LIKE THIS!" Skulker cried, his voice octaves higher than most people are used to. Dash and his friends snickered.

"Dash, you wanna punt him somewhere far away from here?" Danny asked, amused. Dash shrugged.

"S-Sure, Fenton." Dash replied nervously, holding out his hand. Danny shrugged, lobbing the little green ghost -who was still screaming- over to the Jock. I knew that Danny could get Skulker much farther away, but I think Skulker would find it more insulting to have Dash kick him away.

Thank god, he went screaming away from his suit. I'm pretty sure he was punted off of his island, and it could take weeks for Skulker to find the bottom and many months to get out. "Now, we just need to get home..." I muttered.

Everyone stared at me, forlorn. Then they realized that Danny hadn't explained to them his ice powers and his martial arts skills and turned to him, expecting an explanation. FEK!

Huh. Interesting, very interesting. This is unedited.
1) Malbenita- Damn
2) Fek- Shit
