Chapter 11
CARI'S POV
Danny's front door was opened by who I was assuming were his parents. "So you are the amazing Cari Silver we have heard so much about!" Mr. Fenton said excitedly.
"We both love your parents' jumpsuits. They are the only ones we ever trust to buy." Mrs. Fenton said a bright smile on her face.
"Uh thanks." I said with a nervous smile.
"Mom! Dad!" Danny said impatiently as he pushed past them, "Leave her be!"
"Hey Danny. You were right I couldn't miss your house. Well that would've been if I hadn't gotten LOST!"
"Err ya sorry about that, but you got here okay."
"Danny! Are you two coming up here?" Tucker yelled from somewhere in the house.
"Oh ya lets go." Danny grabbed my wrist and he led me up the stairs.
"So why do your parents wear those jumpsuits?" I asked as we walked into his room.
"Well you know how they hunt ghosts and stuff. I guess they think it's cool." Danny answered.
"Well it's not" I said laughing. I sat down on the floor next to Sam.
We spent a good time laughing and talking and just having a good time and then I thought it was about time for me to ask a few questions.
"Hey Danny." I said
"Ya?"
"How come I've never seen you helping out Danny Phantom? I mean I always see Tucker and Sam and sometimes I help, but I would think you would be a good help to him you know with the ghost hunting parents and all."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me. The silence was pounding in my ears. This was way too awkward and way to weird. And now some very strange ideas were coming into my head.
"Uh he just always shows up when I'm not available." Danny said slowly and very unconvincingly. I decided not to press the matter, because it was obviously not going to go very far.
"Ok then. So will I ever get to see the lab filled with all of these amazing Fenton tools I've heard so much about?" I said humorously.
"Ya Danny," Sam said standing up, "we should show her."
"Fine but don't touch anything." Danny said.
Tucker leaned over to me and said "Just touch any tool you like it won't do anything productive." I laughed as we headed down the stairs.
"Whoa" I said as we entered that lab.
"It looks impressive but nothing really works." Danny said.
I picked up a boomerang that was lying on a lab table. "What's this?"
"Oh that's the BOOmerang. It tracks down ghosts." Tucker answered emphasizing the boo part.
"Cool." I said as I threw it. It spun around and flew past me to hit Danny in the head.
"Haha" Danny let out a nervous laugh "Like I said most of this is junk." I just gave him a weird look. Okay something was way off about Danny, but he couldn't be a ghost. I didn't even think that is possible.
"What's wrong with the portal?" Sam asked. I turned around to see a huge hole in the wall.
"What's that?" I asked.
"That is the portal that links our world and the ghost zone but for some reason it won't turn on." Danny answered.
"I can go in and see maybe there in an on switch." I said.
"NO!" all three of then yelled in unison.
"Okay. Why not."
"Well uh it's not safe in there." Tucker said.
"We don't know what buttons do what." Sam continued.
"What if I just went in and didn't press anything." I said slightly confused.
"Uh Tucker, Sam can I talk to you?" Danny asked. They both shrugged and followed him.
DANNY'S POV
"We can't let her go in there." I whispered so the Cari couldn't hear me.
"Ya," Tucker agreed, "we can't have another half ghost half human runnin' around."
"Ya but the settings aren't the same as they were when Danny went in." Sam said.
"That's a good point but who knows what could happen with those settings." I pointed out.
"I guess you're right." Sam said.
"But you two know Cari, she won't let up until we give her a proper reason or we let her go in." Tucker said.
"I know what you mean." Sam agreed, "But I think she is starting to figure it out. Did you see her face when the boomerang hit Danny?"
"We... that isn't the point. Do we let her go in or not?" I said frustrated.
"I don't think anything too bad will happen I say let her go in and get it over with." Tucker said shrugging his shoulders.
"Ya I agree with Tucker, what happened to you was a complete fluke." Sam said confidently.
"I...uh...urgh. Okay." I finally said after a mess of sounds. "But if anything happens."
"Everything will be fine." Sam said reassuring me.
