Season 2 Episode 7
The Fenton Menace
"You Won't BELIEVE Your Eyes!"

In the outskirts of the desert, far away from the most haunted town in the entire country, Amity Park, the Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle was driving madly on the road by Jackie Fenton as her husband, Matt, sat next to her on the passenger seat. They both were wearing camping clothes and grinned wildly with their eldest son, James Fenton, in the back while he held on for dear life as he leaned and cringed from all the sharp turns his mother was making.

James (Voiceover):
You know how sometimes you feel like you're the only responsible person in your family? Well, there are days when my family makes me feel like I'm the only responsible adult in the world.

Outside the RV, as it drove beside a cliff, green ecto blasts were fired when they narrowly missed the vehicle. James poked his head out the window, wondering what was happening until he gasped when more green beams were fired even closer to the RV.

"Guys! Pay attention to the road!" James exclaimed to his parents.

Unfortunately, his parents couldn't hear him since they were listening to some music at full blast, making it too loud for them to hear their son. "WHAT?!" Matt and Jackie shouted over the music, before a beam almost hit one of their tires, surprising the parents back to reality when they and James looked up through the windshield and gasped.

Up in the sky in front of them, they saw Dani Phantom punching and kicking at absolutely nothing like she was seeing something they couldn't, and fired multiple ghost beams at the mountain and the road as she shouted angrily. Jackie managed to maneuver the vehicle out of the way to avoid being hit by her beams, and even managed to avoid the rocks avalanching from the mountain Dani blasted at. Suddenly, some invisible force grabbed Dani by her ankle and began to drag her all around the air as she shrieked and the Fentons watched in surprise and confusion.

I promised myself I'd never let anyone know. Mom, Dad, even Dani unless her life depended on it. Well, guess what? It looks like that time has come!

Dani continued to fire some ghost blasts at nothing while she was being dragged, but then flipped face-forward when she was about to collide with the RV with her family in it.

"LOOK OUT!" Jackie, Matt, and James all exclaimed in unison as they hugged each other closely while they braced for impact.


Theme Song:

(She's a phantom)

(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)

Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged

(Phantom, Phantom)

When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)


You know how regular kids get freaked out because of a pop quiz or a pimple? Well, my sister, Dani, has other pressures, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I guess it all started on a typical Fenton family outing…

A couple of days earlier before the Fentons went on their little road trip, the entire Fenton family was out in the middle of the ocean near their hometown, Amity Park, where they were inside the Fenton Family Subaquatic Vehicle with Jackie at the wheel.

"Nothing like spending quality family time with the people you love." Matt sighed with a smile.

Jackie pressed a button and the vehicle submerged into the water as it went deeper and deeper while the parents looked around the bowels of the sea with anticipation and their children, Dani and James, looked more unhappy about this 'quality family time'.

"And by quality time, you mean hunting down ghosts in a subaquatic death trap?" James clarified sarcastically with his arms crossed.

"You betcha, son! Whether it's land, air, or sea, I won't stop until we capture a ghost and tear it apart, molecule by molecule." Jackie replied happily.

Dani made a look of uneasiness before she looked out the window. She always felt very frightened whenever her mother said she would tear a ghost 'molecule by molecule', which greatly worried Dani for obvious reasons. Out from the window, she suddenly gasped when she saw a familiar shipwreck in the bottom of the ocean, but she would never forget it. It was Youngphasma's pirate ship, a young, immature ghost girl who once tried to lure adults to power her fleet of ships. The ghost shield was still active from their last encounter, which was still in reverse while it prevented Youngphasma from escaping, thanks to one of Dani's techno-loving friends, Tina Foley.

"Dani, are you okay?" James asked when he noticed her expression. James apparently didn't remember the pirate ship she was currently gazing at, since he was being mind controlled the whole time and couldn't remember anything, and neither could his parents.

"Who, me? I'm swell...every single molecule of me." Dani said sarcastically as she looked at the ship, probably thinking that her parents were gonna drive into it. "I just don't think we should go in there."

"Go in there? Great idea, Dani!" Jackie said cluelessly before she steered the sub vehicle straight towards the shipwreck of Youngphasma's ship.

"What? NO!" But too late when the sub vehicle passes through the ghost shield and entered the ship through a large hole. After a few minutes of exploring, Dani gasped when she saw something out her window. "Don't you see it? How can you not see it? Ghost!"

"A ghost? That I can tear apart molecule by molecule?! Where?!" Jackie immediately hopped out of the control when she and Matt looked out eagerly at her window as James peeked out as well. However, there was no ghost out there in their eyes, but Dani still looked convinced that she was seeing something while her parents frowned. "Hey!"

"There's no ghost out there!" Matt said.

Dani kept on pointing out her window where she was seeing the ghost, making James cock an eyebrow in confusion at her sudden nervousness. Jackie only frowned at her daughter in disappointment. "Very funny, Danielle. Save it for April Fools Day."

"Look out!" Dani exclaimed when she suddenly ran past her family and up to the controls. She got to the driver's seat and pushed the emergency button as several weapons sprang out from outside the sub and began to fire beams in multiple directions, creating holes on the shipwreck. She grabbed the tiller and drove the vehicle forward, knocking her entire family to the back of the cockpit.

"Dani, there's no ghost out there!" Matt shouted to his daughter.

"Are you people blind?! We have to get out of here!" Dani looked back as she drove the sub out of the ship before it fell apart and the shield deactivated. The subaquatic vehicle broke back up to the surface as Dani switched it to speedboat mode as it landed on the water. She continued to drive the vehicle at top speed before she looked back and saw an invisible force burst out of the water.

Matt managed to pull his panicking daughter away from the controls as her entire family glared at her. "Dani! Get away from the controls!"

"What's with you? Chasing down ghosts that aren't there is Mom's job." James said.

"Yeah, what he said." Jackie said, but then processed his words when her eyes went wide as she realized what he just said.

"But she was there! I saw her. Why couldn't you?" Dani asked, glancing at her family before she looked out the window again as she frantically looked around for the ghost she thought she saw while her family stared at her oddly.

Clearly, something was up with Dani and, as usual, my parents had their own nutty way to get to the bottom of things.

That night after the Fentons all returned home to Fenton Works, Jackie and Matt strapped Dani onto a table as it spun around crazy fast. She shrieked loudly as it spun faster and faster with her hair fluttering madly while her whole family watched from below.

"Just a little long, sweetie!" Matt called out.

"Don't you worry, kid! We'll spin the crazy out of you in no time!" Jackie added before the table stopped spinning as Dani shook from the experience.

"I'M NOT CRAZY!" She shrieked loudly as James made a look of annoyance.

So, as usual, it was up to me.


The next day at Casper High School, James was walking down the hallway to his next class, but then froze and hid behind a corner as he saw Dani approaching her locker. She looked very worn out and her hair was still wild and frizzled from being spun around in that table the other night at her house.

As she opened her locker and placed her books inside, her best friend, Sam Manson, walked up to her and noticed her freaked out condition. "Dani, are you okay? You look a little-" Sam began, but then got cut off by Dani.

"Crazy?! Don't say crazy!" Dani exclaimed frantically as she turned to him and shook her hands before she held them close while she whimpered in fear.

Sam looked unfazed by her sudden outburst. "...I was going to say you look a little like you've been on a big, spinning table, why? Do you think you're crazy?"

"I think I'm starting to see ghosts when there aren't any ghosts." Unknown to either of them, James was listening in on their whole conversation while he began to think to himself.

So she was hallucinating, which means I had to prevent her from using her ghost powers while in this delicate state of mind.

"Hey, Dani. How many times has this happened to you?" Tina asked as she joined her friends with a bright look on her face. "You need to sneak away and go ghost, but you're stuck with your family."

"Uh, more than a little, a lot lately, and I'm running out of excuses as far as I could think of." Dani said as she placed her hands on her hips.

"Well, do I have some good news for you. Now you can throw away all those tired old excuses with this." Tina pulled out a small MP3 player and held it up to show to her friends. "The Tina Foley Alibi O' Matic." Dani and Sam only stared at it strangely as they blinked in confusion. "Just set it behind closed doors and presto! You're home asleep." She pressed a button as it played a snoring noise, which James scowled at. "But wait, there's more."

"Does there have to be?" Sam asked sarcastically.

Tina began to play some sneezing, coughing, and farting. "There's head cold and my specialty in the toilet. Now how much would you pay?"

Dani took the device from her to shut it up as she and Sam frowned at her in annoyance. "To make it stop." Then the school bell rang, reminding the students that class was beginning. "I can't believe I'm saying this but...thank heavens, class."

Sam and Tina left for class as Dani was about to follow them, until she suddenly turned around and saw something when she glared. "You!" She exclaimed, making James look around for the ghost she was seeing, but still found nothing there. "I might not have been able to do anything last time, but this time, I'm going-" She was about to run off to transform, until she caught off guard when James blocked her way as he frowned suspiciously with his arms crossed. "Going…"

"Nowhere, but back to class." James said for her as he gave her a glare.

"You don't see anything?"

"Just a little sister who seems to be getting nuttier by the second." Dani was about to run off, until James managed to stop her when he grabbed her wrist. "And where do you think you're going?"

"Wherever I want." Dani swiped her brother's hand off of hers as she glared irritably at him. "What are you, the hall monitor now?"

"I'm your hall monitor, Dani, and there's no place you can go that I can't follow."

Dani rolled her eyes as she scoffed and smirked. "Oh really, bro?" She opened the door and slipped inside and before James could follow her, she slammed the door to his face as he looked up and realized that she slipped into the girls' bathroom.

James frowned and crossed his arms when he knew that she caught him there that time. "Except there."

James clenched his eyes tightly when a bright flash of light emitted from the girl's bathroom door and then he suddenly heard Dani grunting and shouting inside the room like she was in a middle of a fight.

Then the vice principal and teacher of Casper High, Ms. Lancer, walked up and heard the noises. "If that's your sister making all those noises in there, I would suggest she gets a little more fiber in her diet." She said before she walked away.

After she left, Dani phased out of the bathroom in her ghost form as she began punching and kicking at absolutely nothing as she grunted and then fired her ecto beams around as she shouted, destroying a notice board, a garbage bin, several lockers in a row, and even demolished the hallway lights as they short circuited and sparked electricity. Dani then screamed angrily as she phased through the ceiling with her hands in front of her and chased nothing but thin air. James gasped at the damage his sister created, making him more concerned than ever.

It was worse than I thought. I had to get Dani away from the pressures of ghosts and ghost hunting. Somewhere like…

After school that night, James arranged an emergency family meeting about Dani's crazed up problem and suggested that there was one thing they could do to solve their situation with Dani.

"A camping trip?!" Dani, Jackie, and Matt asked James, all not looking too pleased by his suggestion.

"Studies show that connecting with nature has a calming effect on troubled teens." James explained with a shrug.

"Are there any studies on the calming effects of big brothers minding their own business?" Dani asked sarcastically with her arms crossed, but then some invisible force smacked her, making her glare at nothing. "QUIT IT!"

Her parents and brother stared at her oddly as James proved his point. "See? This toxic home environment is make her a nervous wreck!" He saw Dani's eye twitch. "She needs a normal family outing! One that has nothing to do with ghosts." He waved his arms in front of him for emphasising.

Now Dani was getting really irritated by her brother's constant 'helping out' phase. "Will you stop talking about me like I'm not here?" Something poked Dani in the back, making her yelp before she turned back around angrily. "And will you stop poking me?!"

"I don't know, son. Sure Dani seems a little high strong, but I'm sure it's nothing we can't work out here." Matt said unsurely as he shrugged his shoulders.

Dani trembled again before she got pinched again. She finally glared and then acted out as she pulled out an ecto-gun from a counter and aimed it at the ceiling. "Back off, punk!" She began to rapid fire multiple blasts randomly at the walls, making her family duck behind some boxes and they peeked over and saw her looking around angrily and saw smoke billowing to the ceiling from the burnt marks on the walls.

Matt then thought it wouldn't be any harm taking another family on another normal outing. "I'll pack the sleeping bags."

"And I'll get the ghost hunting equipment!" Jackie said excitedly, until she glanced when she saw that her husband and son were giving her correcting frowns. "I-I mean...I'll get the snacks!"


That Friday morning the next day, the entire Fenton family had packed their things and were ready to hit the road. It was the first time Jackie and Matt could be seen outside of their jumpsuits, since they wore them twenty-four/seven, but this time, under James' orders, they have been forced to wear camping clothes instead of hazmat suits. Matt wore a blue camping shirt, brown cargo shorts, and hiking combat boots. Jackie wore an orange long sleeve shirt rolled up and blue overalls with black hiking boots.

As Matt entered the RV, Jackie was about to go to the driver's seat, until James stopped her when he pulled a small box out of her front overall pocket. He pressed the button and it sprung out into a large magnet-like device as James frowned at his mother.

"It's a...waffle iron?" Jackie said sheepishly as she rubbed her neck, but her son didn't buy it when she slouched in disappointment before she entered the RV.

James pulled out his remote necklace that controls the assault vehicle's weapons and pressed the OFF button. The entire RV shook a little and then went back to normal when they heard a loud hum as the weapons were now offline. Jackie made a look of disappointment, not really liking this idea one bit while Matt smiled comfortably. A few feet away, Dani, Sam, and Tina were watching everyone getting ready while Dani couldn't stop herself from shaking nervously.

"Dani, are you going to be okay?" Sam asked in concern.

"I don't know. What if James is right? What if I am going nuts?" Dani admitted.

"You're not going nuts. We believe you, even if every single person you know doesn't." Tina said confidently and reassuringly.

Dani gave her friends a weak smile, happy that her best friends believe her until James came up to his little sister, whom he thought was going coo-coo. "Okay, Dani, time to go." He said to her as she shakily walked up to the RV as James shoved Sam and Tina away from Dani. "And you two, leave her alone for this weekend. She needs to relax."

Sam shoved James's hands away as he and Tina turned to him. "James, I know you think you got Dani's best interest at heart, but don't even think you can tell us what to do." Sam scolded as he crossed his arms while Tina remained silent, but frowned as well.

Before Dani reached the RV, she suddenly froze and gasped when she saw something and glared at something at the corner of her house. She ran up to it as everyone turned to Dani.

"Yeah, you better run! If I see you again, I'll tear you to…" Dani shouted angrily, but then faltered when she turned and noticed that her brother and best friends were staring at her strangely. "...you didn't see anything, did you?" They all merely shook their heads while they remained silent. "But she was right there, around the corner…" She then sighed in defeat as she slouched back to the RV. "I'll be in the assault vehicle."

"Not this weekend, sweetie. This weekend, it's just a regular RV." Matt corrected, trying to be positive, but Jackie only groaned in disappointment as she leaned back to her seat.

James then entered the RV as Sam and Tina waved goodbye. "Bye, see ya Monday." They said in unison while Dani looked out from the back window with James sitting next to her before the vehicle drove off.

Jackie drove the RV down the road as they were about halfway close to their camping destination, but the obese woman couldn't seem to stop scratching her arms as she drank some soda from her cap. "I feel positively naked without my jumpsuit! And I'm pretty sure I'm getting a rash on my unprotected forearms." She said with trouble.

"Good thing I packed you plenty of Fenton Ointment." Matt said as he gave her some ointment for her rash, which she gladly took. "And I packed your old Bearbert Einstein for you, James!" Matt then held out an old, stuffed bear that looked like Albert Einstein.

"Dad, stop treating me like a baby!" James exclaimed as he snatched the bear from his father's hand. But after a second, he smiled and punched its cheek.

"Welcome to my world." Dani said sarcastically before she shoved the stuffed animal from his hands and went back to crossing her arms angrily for him dragging her into this mess.

"Hey!" James frowned at his sister but then calmed down as he sighed. "Dani, I don't know why you're mad at me, I'm not the one who was trashing the lab, blasting imaginary ghosts."

"Okay, A) I'm mad at you because you always butt into my business just so you could 'help me' with my 'problems'." Dani did the finger emphasising for specifying as she rolled her eyes. "And B) It was one ghost...and a parrot."

"Was it a ghost and a parrot, or a projection of your own fears...and a parrot?" James talking with his psychological knowledge always got into Dani's nerves as she glared and growled at him menacingly, but he didn't seem fazed by this since he only gave her a skeptical look.

"Now, kids, let's not fight. Who's up for a game of I Spy?" Matt suggested to cool the tension happening between his children. "I spy with my little eye, something beginning with C."

"Cola, chaffing, cattle prod…" Jackie listed off randomly as she continued to scratch her arms that was breaking out a rash.

Dani glanced out the window and saw a cowgirl silhouette figure riding on a horse several feet next to the RV and she couldn't see the face from the sunset in the distance. "Cowgirl?" Dani said in confusion.

James looked out the window, but then frowned at her like he couldn't see any cowgirl out there. "Where do you see a cowgirl?" He asked as he crossed his arms and gave his sister a skeptical look.

"Duh! She's riding right next to us at...seventy miles an hour?" Dani made a look of realization before she slumped in frustration as she glowered. "Oh no, not again."

The RV suddenly shook like something hit the vehicle, making the entire family flinch from the trembling. "Dani, whatever you're doing, cut it out."

"I'm not doing anything!"

The tank-like tire on the back began to loosen up as the RV road towards the cliff ahead of it. "Come on, isn't anyone gonna guess what I spied beginning with a C?" Matt asked.

"CLIFF!" Dani exclaimed in alarm.

"Very good, Dani!"

The entire RV shook again and this time, the entire tank tire was removed by a grappling hook. Apparently, Dani was right that there was a ghost at large that was driving her crazy: it was Youngphasma, who has escaped from her shipwreck when the family destroyed the ghost shield trapping her, and now she has returned for some payback against the ghost girl who previously defeated her. Now, she was dressed up like a cowgirl while her skeleton parrot has morphed into a skeletal horse while Youngphasma rode on her back.

"They still think she's crazy?" The skeleton horse asked her mistress.

"Yep, and they will all the way to the bottom of that ravine." Youngphasma said with a wide, mischievous smirk on her face.

The entire family held on for dear life as the RV scurried across the edge of the cliff, threatening to tip over with the tire removed, and Jackie couldn't maneuver away. Luckily, she thought quickly when she pressed a button and the vehicle automatically replaced a new tank tire on the wheels, and the RV regained its balance as it drove normally back down the road.

"Good thinking, hon." Matt said with a relieved look.

"I invented that technology to help me when my belts break. It's nice to know it has other uses as well." Jackie said.

Dani and James both slumped back to their seats and sighed in relief. Back outside, Youngphasma rode her skeleton horse behind the vehicle right by its tail. "You think it's smart to get this close?" The skeleton horse asked.

"They're gonna be road pizza soon, I wanna closer look." Youngphasma said with her grin not dropping.

Back in the RV, Jackie continued to scratch herself even more madly with her skin breaking out a rash. "It sure is hard to drink, drive, and scratch at the same time! Curse these infernal camping clothes! Matthew, take the wheel!" Jackie said before she slid the wheel to her husband so he could drive and began to scratch herself madly all over her body.

Dani glanced at her brother's necklace that controlled the entire RV when he turned the weapons offline. "Uh, James...you wouldn't consider unlocking those ghost weapons, would ya?" She asked him hopefully.

"Not a chance, why?" James asked as he covered his necklace and frowned suspiciously.

"Uh, no reason. I'm feeling a little nauseous." Dani unbuckled herself as she ran into the RV's bathroom, closed the door and locked it up. She changed into her ghost form and phased through the floor, but briefly returned to leave Tina's Alibi O' Matic in the bathroom as it played noises for her being sick in the bathroom, making her a little disgusted by the noise. "Man, what's Tina been eating?" And phased out of the bathroom.

Youngphasma fired a suction cup gun at the front of the tire and was about to yank it off the RV until Dani phased out and zapped the rope off the RV as she glared at the ghost kid. "Figment of my imagination or not, you need to back off, cowbrat!" Dani said before she fired an ecto beam.

She blasted Youngphasma off her horse as she shouted and her horse flew down to catch her. She then galloped up to the cliff as Dani flew in front of the RV, catching Matt and Jackie's attentions when they noticed her.

"Huh, what's that ghost girl doing way out here?" Matt wondered.

Dani began to fire multiple blasts at the cliff as Youngphasma rode up vertically up the mountain, but oddly to Jackie, Matt, and James, they thought she was just blasting the mountain for no good reason. "I don't know, but she must really hate that rock formation." Jackie said as she cocked an eyebrow.

Matt then felt like he was ready to go back to ghost hunting when he narrowed his eyes. "Well, shouldn't we be hunting her down or something?"

"NO!" James exclaimed in a panic, cutting in between them, but then earned confused looks from his parents before he smiled nervously. "I mean...you promised no ghost fighting!" He then slumped back to his seat as he frowned with his arms crossed. "And so did Dani."

Youngphasma laughed as she began to rid on flat land and Dani continued to fly after her. She grinned as she shifted her hand into a rope and lassoed at Dani, who tried to fly away, but ended up getting snagged by her ankle as the ghost kid dragged her along with her while she shouted loudly. Youngphasma galloped straight towards the RV as Jackie, Matt, and James cringed for impact, but then her horse leaped over the vehicle with Dani and avoided collision.

The Fenton family all sighed in relief. "What a relief." Matt sighed as he rubbed his forehead.

"And speaking of relief…" Jackie said before she handed Matt the wheel and ran to the restroom, making James cringe in a panic when he bolted between his mother and the bathroom while gagging was heard from inside.

"You can't go in there! Dani's really sick!" He said, until heard snoring inside as he smiled sheepishly. "And...now she has to sleep it off." Jackie cocked an eyebrow in confusion.

Back outside in the outskirts, Youngphasma continued to drag Dani, but she quickly regained her speed when she began flying around her horse until she tied up her legs and they all plummeted down to a flat rocky hill as they screamed and grunted on impact where Dani undid the rope off her ankle.

"No fair! You dog tied my horse!" Youngphasma scowled as she dismounted her skeleton steed.

"That's hogtied." Her horse corrected.

"Who cares?!" Dani snapped with a glare before she angrily stormed up to the ghost kid while she grabbed her by her collar and pulled her close to her face. "Why can't they see you?!"

Youngphasma made a dubious look like it should have been obvious before. "Duh! Why do you think I call myself Youngphasma? Only the young can see me, only kids!"

Dani suddenly perked up in realization. "Wait a minute...in the sub, at school, at my house...I was the only kid there."

Dani released the ghost child before she began untying her horse from her own rope. "Well, that and your brother, who thinks he's a grownup. Everybody thinks you're crazy, now get back there and prove it!" Youngphasma suddenly lassoed again at her waist and spun her around in the air as she shouted before she catapulted her back to the RV and she quickly phased back into the bathroom, a little dazed from being spun that many times, and changed back into her human form.

Dani peeked from the door and found James and Jackie in front of the door. "Geez, can't a girl get two minutes of privacy?" She asked sarcastically as she walked out of the room.

Jackie immediately ran into the bathroom before she locked it up and pulled out her signature orange jumpsuit she managed to recover, behind James's back of course, and rubbed it against her cheek.

Back outside, Youngphasma overlooked the RV driving across the road as it made its way to its camping destination. "Oh man, I wanted to see the camper go kaboom!" She complained out loud.

"That didn't sound very cowgirl." Her horse pointed out.

"Whatever. One more night of driving her nuts, and her family will be ready to chuck her into crazy person's hoscow!"

"Much better!" And then they both flew off the hill as they followed the RV to their camping destination.

That night, the family has finally arrived at their campsite as Jackie blew up two tents that were designed to look exactly like Fenton Works, their home: one tent for the parents and the other for the siblings. James was in his tent while he sat on a chair and frowned his eyes at Dani, who was laying on her sleeping bag, glaring at her brother behind his back.

Okay, maybe in retrospect, putting our family in the remote wilderness with an unstable sister who has ghost powers wasn't the best idea. But since there's no way I'd admit that I'm wrong, about anything, I had to keep Dani under constant watch.

Dani gasped when she saw Youngphasma phase into their tent with a mischievous smirk, but like what has been happening all day, James still couldn't see her at all since she was still staring down at his sister.

"Go away!" Dani demanded to Youngphasma before she threw her pillow at James's face while he yelped a little and she quickly fired an ecto beam from her finger, blasting Youngphasma out of the tent as she shouted.

James removed the pillow and frowned at his sister annoyingly. "I can't do that, Dani. You may not believe it, but I understand what you're going through." He said, unaware that Youngphasma phased her arm through his head teasingly.

Dani stood up in alarm. "No, you don't!"

"But I do, more than you know. Look, I know you think there's a ghost here, but there isn't, Dani." Youngphasma phased back into the tent as she smirked at Dani and shifted her hand into a hot iron, preparing to brand James. Dani, however, remained calm when she frowned and turned her back to James while she crossed her arms. "And turning your back to me won't solve anything."

Dani fired a ghost beam from her fingertip again while it reflected off a mirror and blasted Youngphasma dead on out of the tent as she yelped before she could even brand James.

Dani turned back to her brother. "Fine, then I'm going to sleep." She lied back down on her sleeping bag and covered herself up before snoring was heard.

James, however, didn't look fooled as he walked over to the bag. "You can't fool me, Dani, I know you're awake in there." He then heard tooting noises, confusing him when he cocked an eyebrow. "And...gassy?" He removed the sheets, revealing only the Alibi O' Matic, and he realized Dani escaped with her intangibility power. "Ack! Nice."

Outside the tent, Dani phased through the ground in her ghost form as she hovered around for any signs of Youngphasma and her skeleton horse, but didn't see or heard anything other than the ravine stream and the wolves howling at the night in the distance.

"Dani?!" James called out, making Dani gasp as she quickly phased into the RV and changed back into her human form as James crawled out of their tent.

Dani hopped out of the RV and in front of her brother urgently . "James, you have to unlock the ghost weapons, we're all in danger!" She said as she grabbed him by his shoulders.

"Yeah, from you!" James retorted as he shoved her hands off him.

"Look, I know you think I'm crazy, but I'm not! You can't see her, because only kids can see her! You have to believe me!"

James only gave a look with his hands on his hips, showing he didn't look convinced and still didn't believe her. Dani saw Youngphasma behind him as she shifted her hand into an axe while she smirked. Dani quickly grabbed James and pulled him away before the cowgirl-dressed ghost kid could slice her brother in half as she sliced the ground instead, making her frown. Dani and James both got up, but now James looked really annoyed when he glared even more at his 'unstable' sister.

James suddenly gasped as he made a fake look of concern. "Wait, I do see her! She's right behind you!" He acted out.

Dani turned around to where he was look. "Where?" James then suddenly shoved his sister into the RV before he quickly used his necklace to shut the door and lock up the vehicle as Dani looked out the window. "James, what are you doing?!"

"This is for you own good, Dani!"

She tried to pry open the door, but it wouldn't budge as it was locked up tight and then pounded her fists to the window. "LET ME OUT!" She suddenly made a look of realization. "Duh, ghost powers." She changed into her ghost form and was about to phase out of of the RV, until James thought quickly when he smirked and activated the ghost shield as Dani only bounce right back into the vehicle.

"And just to humor you, I've turned on the ghost shield so no ghosts can get in...or out."

Meanwhile, Youngphasma and her horse walked to Jackie and Matt's tent as they began to push on it as the inside began to shake while Jackie snored in her sleep and Matt woke up barely.

"Jackie, you're snoring it shaking the whole tent. Better get the Fenton Earplugs." Matt moaned before he took a pair a two earplugs and shoved them against his ears and smiled in satisfaction before he went back to sleep, unaware of their upcoming doom.

Dani changed back to human form as she glared menacingly at her smirking brother, until she noticed Youngphasma and her horse pushing on their parents' tent. "James, turn around! Mom and Dad's tent!" She warned.

But as soon as James turned to their parents' tent, it stood perfectly still since he couldn't see the ghosts at all, making him turn back to his sister as he frowned in annoyance. "Forget it, Dani. I'm not letting you out of there and I'm not keeping my eyes off you from one second." He said sternly.

Dani watched as Youngphasma and her horse went back to pushing on the tent again when James looked away and dragged it straight towards the ravine nearby. Dani leaned over and pressed a button, hoping to trigger the ghost weapons, but only ended up turning on the windshield wipers when it splashed water all over James as he shielded himself.

"Ah, real mature, Danielle! If you're gonna be delusional, can you at least act your age?" James asked rhetorically in annoyance with his hair dripping wet and his shirt all soaked in water.

"You're maybe you should act...your age?" Dani began to tell off, but then allowed his words to sink in.

She suddenly remembered that the only reason James couldn't even see Youngphasma at all was because her brother thought he was an adult, but in reality, he was still just a teenager at about sixteen years old. If she was going to have to force James into acting like a kid his own age again, she was going to have to do the one thing that always sets an older sibling off the edge: immaturity.

While James squeezed some water off his shirt, Dani sprayed him with more water, making him yelp before he glared up at his sister again. "You're not an adult, James, you're a kid, just like me." She said with a smile.

"We're focusing on your problems, Dani, not mine." James turned around and crossed his arms until he heard noises coming from the RV as he looked back and his eyes went wide when he saw Dani doing some weird faces straight at him.

First, she stuck her tongue out while she held out her mouth wide while making more noises, making him frown. She then held her eyelids up while she held up her nose and wiggling her tongue, making him narrow his eyes. She finally began to pull her eyelids in and out as she continued to laugh with the weird noises, enough to finally make James glare as he growled at her immaturity while his face turned red from his rising anger.

"James is a spaz...James is a spaz...James is a spaz…" Dani said in a sing-song voice through the bullhorn.

"Cut it out, you little brat!" James demanded angrily.

"I know you are, but what am I?" Youngphasma suddenly noticed what was going on between the siblings as she took interest before she flew behind James while she watched the whole thing.

"Will you grow up?" James said with his hands on his hips.

"Will you grow up?" Dani imitated childishly through the horn as she smirked.

"Stop mocking me!"

"Stop mocking me!" James then sharply turned his back to her as he crossed his arms and tried to ignore her. "Oh! Oh! Who's this? Is this Bearbert Einstein?" Dani picked up James's favorite childhood toy and picked up a barbecue fork before she stabbed it into the bear's face. "Oh, oh, oh noooo!"

James gasped and turned back around as he glared demandingly. "Leave him alone!" But Dani ignored him when she ripped the stuffing out of his toy with the fork, making him recoil in panic. Youngphasma laughed at the immaturity Dani was doing to her brother as she smirked even more while she ripped more stuffing out of the Bearbert toy. That finally made James finally throw a fit when he began jumping up and down. "PUT HIM DOWN! PUT HIM DOWN! PUT HIM DOWN! PUT HIM DOWN!" He dropped to his knees in despair and cried in his hands. "Put him down!"

Dani smirked at Youngphasma before she bursted into laughter and wiped a tear from her eye. "Man! He's even brattier than I am!" She exclaimed as she grinned at James.

James suddenly removed his hands in surprise. "Who said that?"

Youngphasma's smiled dropped with a look of shock. "Huh?"

Dani smiled brightly before her brother turned around and gasped when he saw Youngphasma floating right in front of him, or in other words, the ghost Dani has been seeing this whole entire time. "A ghost? A ghost!" James turned back to his sister and smiled when he realized that she wasn't going insane after all. "You're not crazy!"

Dani smiled in satisfaction as she crossed her arms. "You have now stooped to my level, thank you for shopping Fenton Mart." She said.

The horse finally pushed their parents' tent straight into the ravine as it floated down the currents. The siblings gasped when they witnessed this and they both exchanged determined look as James used his necklace to deactivate the ghost shield and unlock the door, freeing Dani as she smiled.

"I'll take the RV, you go...somewhere I can't see you and get help!" James said before Dani jumped out of the RV and ran off somewhere to transform. James then hopped into the RV with Bearbert on the passenger seat as James glared determinedly and switched the ghost weapons back online. "This is for Bearbert!"

Several ghost weapons sprung outside the RV, making Youngphasma gasp before James floored the vehicle to full speed as the ghost kid shouted and tried to fly away. The guns all fired multiple energy beams at Youngphasma while she quickly managed to evade their attacks as she yelped and then quickly mounted on her steed as they galloped away from the Fenton Assault Vehicle.

"I'm going ghost!" Dani cried as she ran across the ground and changed into her ghost form before she flew into action.

On the river, Jackie and Matt's tent continued floating down the river as water overflowed into the tent, making Jackie wake up from her sleep.

"Huh? Well, that hasn't happened since I stopped drinking coffee before bed." She said before she looked out the tent and gasped when she saw her tent floating across the river and was heading straight towards a waterfall in front of them. "Matthew, wake up! I spy something beginning with a W!" Jackie grabbed her husband by his sleeping bag, enough to startle him awake. As the tent free fell down the waterfall, Dani quickly flew down and caught their tent as she gently placed back where it belonged. "We're about to plummet into a roaring, white watery…" Jackie grabbed Matt and jumped out of the tent, but then suddenly landed on solid land, much to her confusion. "Doom?"

Back with the RV, James drove the vehicle like a mad boy as he chased after Youngphasma who has been driving her sister insane. "FOR BEARBERT!" He exclaimed angrily.

Youngphasma suddenly halted her horse before she smirked. "Whoa! What are we running away for?"

She flew off her steed and laughed as she held out her feet and fired multiple sharp spurs from her boots while they sliced off all the weapons from the RV, causing James to immediately brake the RV as it screeched into a halt. As Youngphasma charged at the RV, Dani suddenly arrived and snatched the ghost kid off her horse and angrily slammed her onto the roof of the vehicle. James felt the thud when he immediately drove the RV again as Dani towered over the ghost kid who has been tormenting her and trying to make everyone think she was going nuts.

"Wanna play with the big kids, Youngpain?!" Dani exclaimed before she grabbed Youngphasma and dangled her over the side of the vehicle by her leg and she screamed in pain when she dragged her head across the ground with the RV moving at top speed. "Having fun yet?!"

While Jackie and Matt dusted themselves, the RV suddenly drove right past them. "Jackie, what's going on? Where are the kids?!" Matt asked frantically as he grabbed his wife by her pajamas.

"Matt, look! It's that Phantom kid again!" Jackie said as she watched Dani firing a ghost beam at the RV, but none of them could see the ghost she was currently beating up. "And this time she's attacking our wheels! Hang on, kids, Mommy's coming!" Jackie suddenly pulled out an ecto-gun she wasn't even allowed to bring out of nowhere.

Matt narrowed his eyes at his wife. "Jackie, where did that ghost weapon come from?"

Jackie looked rather surprised herself like she has never considered it. "I'd, uh...I'd rather not say."

Dani slammed Youngphasma back on the roof of the RV, now all battered and bruised from being beaten up as she scowled at the older ghost girl. Her horse charged at Dani from behind, but James quickly blasted her into pieces with an ecto-gun before he blew the smoke from it as the skull landed on Youngphasma's lap.

"Not so tough now that he can see you, huh, kid?" Dani retorted before James braked the RV.

"What are you gonna do, huh? At some point, I'm gonna squirm free. It's not like you can lock me up in jail or something." Youngphasma retorted back with a smirk.

James suddenly tossed the Fenton Thermos at Dani's head before she caught it in her hands and stared at her brother oddly. "Sorry, slipped out of my hand." James said innocently.

Dani briefly gave her brother an odd look before she smiled and charged up the thermos as she aimed it at Youngphasma. She fired a blue stream of energy as she sucked Youngphamsa and her skeleton partner inside while her scream echoed inside and she recapped the thermos. "Actually, it's just like I can lock ya up in jail or something." Dani mocked as she grinned cleverly.

Dani hovered next to James as they both shared the same warming smile.

So, in the end, no matter how abnormal things may seem, or abnormal our life can be

"Drop the thermos and step away from my son, punk!" Jackie shouted angrily as she aimed her ecto-gun at the ghost girl as Jackie and Matt both glared at her.

Everything was back to normal...well, our version of normal.

James winked at his little sister before he pressed a button and activated the windshield wipers, spraying Jackie and Matt as they both yelped and Dani flew back to the tent to change back while her folks were distracted.

"Get me a Fenton Towel, STAT!" Jackie exclaimed as Matt held her close in concern.


A couple of nights later, the Fenton family finally returned to Amity Park, now that Youngphasma was defeated and Dani was back to being her old self again. Jackie was very relieved to be back at the ghost hunting business since the camping trip pretty much proved that she couldn't get through one weekend without blabbering about ghosts.

In Fenton Works, James was currently in his bedroom as he wrote on his personal journal.

So yeah, sometimes I do feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders and I'm the only responsible adult in the family...but Dani's responsible, and she's a kid. Which means it's probably safe for me to be a kid every now and then.

James stopped writing when he looked out his window and saw Dani flying across the neighborhood in her ghost form while he smiled at her. He then glanced down at his Bearbert Einstein bear toy, that was all sewed up, and hugged it close to his cheek, until his toy suddenly made a farting noise, making James perk up in confusion.

He dug into his bear toy until he pulled out the Abili O' Matic, and he immediately realized it was just one of Dani's practical jokes. "Oh, real mature, Danielle!" James exclaimed before he frowned in annoyance.
