Phantom Trip

They did

Tucker ran after Danny, who was whistling for Leroy. "Wait, dude. What are you talking about!!!"

Leroy appeared and Danny jumped on top. "Let's go, Leroy. To that island."

Tucker jumped in front of them with arms wide. "No! Where are you going!"

Danny humphed impatiently. "Tucker, get out of the way. I need to hurry before they do something."

"Where do you think you're going?!"

Danny winced as Sam stomped over. He sighed. "The missing students went to Pariah's Keep. I have to get there before something happens. I think Dash has taken my words as a challenge and Dash never turns down a challenge. As much as I want to kick his butt, I don't want him killed so I have to go now."

Sam stood next to Tucker and crossed her arms. "Not without us."

Danny brought his hand across his face. "But it will be dangerous."

Tucker shook his head. "You're still weakened from the ectofilters. You need help, Danny. And as your friends, we're going wether you want us to or not."

Danny looked at the floating island. "Ok."

Dash stomped through the trees. How dare Fentoad challenge me. I'll show him. He thinks he's so great just because his parents are in charge so he can get away with everything. I'll show him.

Kwan yelped as a branch snapped under his feet. Dash had been able to persuade his friend to come along, because as much as he denied it, he was still slightly afraid.

"Why are we doing this again?" Kwan complained.

Dash growled. "To check out the lair. Don't you think it looks cool? Maybe we'll even meet a ghost. And then we'll pummel him with the bazookas!"

Kwan held his bazooka awkwardly. "I don't know, Dash."

"Are you scared?"

"Of course I'm not! It's just that...it could be dangerous. Remember what Fenton said."

"Bah. Fentonio is just a wimp. He's scared of his own shadow." Dash stomped his way around another tree. I'll show everyone.

"Rude."

The two jocks froze. "Did you hear that?" Kwan asked his friend.

Dash nodded. He held up the bazooka with shaky hands. "Whoever you are, come out or I shoot."

"Ok ok. Jeez." A middle sized girl with short, brown hair stepped from behind a tree.

Dash didn't lower his bazooka. "Who are you?"

She rolled her eyes.

Kwan pointed a finger at her. "Wait.....Charlie...right?"

"Chelsea!" She snapped. "That's not even close"

Kwan shrugged. "Hey. It's got a 'ch'. So what are you doing here."

"Following you, of course. You're going to the creepy castle?"

Dash lowered his bazooka. He paled. "How did you know?"

She shrugged and walked past. "You guys couldn't make it more obvious. You coming? We gotta hurry before anyone else figures it out."

Dash hunched his back and Kwan laughed. He patted his friend's shoulder. They ran to catch up with the girl.

It didn't take long until they were at the edge if the forest. They looked out at the other island. It floated a few kilometers away.
