The Phantom Twins: Season 1

Mystery Meat

"So Danny and Dayla, you and your little friends want to hunt ghosts?" Jack Fenton asked, smiling proudly at the four kids sitting in front of him.

Twin siblings Danny and Dayla Fenton were sitting on their chairs with their friends Sam Manson and Tucker Foley, while their father Jack Fenton was once again trying to get them into ghost hunting. Danny had black spikey hair and icy blue eyes, he wore a white t-shirt with a red oval in the middle of it, blue jeans and red and white sneakers. Dayla also had black hair but it was longer than her brother's and she had the same blue eyes as Danny as well, she also wore a white t-shirt only she had a green oval in the middle of hers, black jeans and white sneakers.

"Uh actually dad, I...want to be an astronaut" Danny replied and then Dayla replied, "And I want to be an artist dad"

"Sorry Mr Fenton, I was into ghosts but they're so mainstream now. They're like cell phones" Sam said.

"Waste these good looks and all this charisma hunting ghosts?" Tucker asked, gesturing to himself. "Criminal"

Jack then said as he turned around and began messing with some equipment on a lab table, "Well if you do want to hunt ghosts, there a few things you need to learn"

All of the kids sank into their chairs, bored out of their minds. Suddenly, Danny and Dayla got an alarmed look on their face as blue mist came out of their mouths.

"Oh no, this isn't good" Danny muttered as the two looked around the room, only for their attention to go to the Ghost Portal as the doors opened and two ectopusses came out. The two ghosts wrapped their tentacles around Sam and Tucker's mouths before they could scream and pulled them out of their seats. Jack was completely oblivious to what was happening, as he continued, "True I've never seen a ghost. But when I do I'll be prepared and so will you, whether you want to be or not"

The twins then put on a determined look as jumped into their ghost forms and jumped into action.

"It all starts with your equipment" Jack continued speaking holding a soup thermos in his hand, still oblivious to the fight going on. In mere seconds, Sam and Tucker were back in their seats as Jack turned around and gave Sam the thermos while saying, "Sam, Tucker this is the Fenton Thermos, it's supposed to trap ghosts"

Jack then turned back around and said, "But since it doesn't work yet, it's just a thermos. A thermos with the word Fenton in front of it"

Danny and Dayla finished off the octopuses who immediately got scared and flew back inside the portal, the door closing behind them. The twins then turned back into their human selves and before Jack could notice, they both ran back to their seats.

"And that, that is the Fenton Portal, "Jack pointed to the now closed portal. "It releases ghosts into our world whether I want it to or not and someday I'll figure out how that works too"

Jack then turned back to the kids and asked, "Now who wants to hunt some ghosts?"

Sam and Tucker were trembling in their seats, frightened of what they just experienced, Danny and Dayla were panting heavily after the fight that just happened.

"You kids look at ya! You're too excited to speak! So I'll just go on speaking. I was born many years ago in a log cabin in the woods. Don't remember exactly where, but I do remember I wanted a pony, never got the pony. As a matter of fact we had to eat horse meat during the war, had a problem with that" Jack said, the kids were now once again getting bored out of their minds as Jack talked about his past.

The next morning was pretty normal, well almost normal. Their mother Maddie Fenton, was tinkering with a new invention using a blow torch, Jazz Fenton the oldest sister of the siblings was reading a psychology book called Surviving Adolescence Through Therapy while glaring at her mother annoyingly and Danny and Dayla were just sitting eating their breakfast cereal.
