Downstairs, the class and Mr. Lancer sat down and tried to wrap their heads around what they just learned. However, they could make no sense of what had happened. The "losers" of Casper High were buff, had a shit-ton of scars, and had a few tattoos each. They didn't know what to make of any of it.

If they listened closely, they could here the Team talking from upstairs. All the voices seemed to come from one place. Though, they couldn't understand a single word of it.

---------

Upstairs, the Team all grabbed their normal clothes and gear and made their way to Danny's room. There was nothing they hadn't seen of the other at this point, so no one cared anymore. They had also learned to change pretty quick by this point; they never knew when there would be an attack. Knowing that there were people downstairs, they decided to use a language they were sure nobody else understood. They used Ghostspeak. (Ghostspeak is going to be a right shift four-shift cipher but I am still going to put the translation)

Jazz looked at her little brother, "Ws, rsa xlex xlic orsb wsqi sj syv wigvixw, evi ai ksmrk xs glerki syv keqi tper? (So, now that they know some of our secrets, are we going to change the game plan?)" Danny shook his head. "Rs. Ai wxmgo amxl xli gyvvirx tper. (No. We stick with the current plan.)" The others nodded. "Epvmklx. (Alright.)" Tucker looked up from tying his last boot. "Lic kmvpw? (Hey girls?)" They looked at him. "Hs imxliv sj xsy lezi e temv sj fssxw xlex Tepurme erh Wxev ger ywi? Xlic lezi liipw sr, erh mj wsqixlmrk lettirw, M hs rsx aerx xs liev xlimv fmxglmrk. (Do either of you have a pair of boots that Paulina and Star can use? They are wearing heels, and if something goes wrong, I do not want to hear their bitching.)" Jazz walked out the door, only the reappear a moment later with two pairs of her old hunting boots. She didn't wear them anymore cause Danny kept buying her new ones. Sam looked them over, "M xlmro xlswi ampp asvo nywx jmri. (I think those will work just fine.)" They slung their bags over their shoulders and, with one last look at each other, descended the stairs.

Mikey noticed them first, "Ah! They look normal. Nothing about the way they look now gives away how they look underneath the clothes." Nathan tilted his head. "Do you think they dress like that on purpose?" The others didn't know what to say.

They watched as the Team shared a look, and then Jazz and Valerie walked to Paulina and Star. They each held out a pair of boots, and the two A-Listers recoiled. "What do you think you're doing? Get those nasty things out of my face!" Paulina screeched. "Yeah, those are, like, hideous. I, like, don't want those on my feet." Sam pinched the bridge of her nose and walked over. She glared at the two popular girls. "If something, anything, goes wrong, you two are going to be stuck in heels. I, for one, don't want to hear your bitching. I also don't want to have to carry your sorry asses if it comes to that. So put on the boots and we won't have a problem. Okay?" Sam was smiling sweetly by the end. Everyone, including Team Phantom, shivered at that look. Jazz looked smug. The girls looked at the boots, looked back at Sam, and decided that the boots were safer. After some grumbling and many glares, the girls were laced up in the sturdy shoes.

Danny saw that everyone was ready so he walked over to the door to the lab. He banged on it and then opened it. "Ma-Mom! Dad! Mr. Lancer and the class are here!" They heard a crash, and then the Older Fenton's appeared. They looked at the gathered students and smiled. "Hello Kids! Come on down to the lab and we'll get started." They turned around and walked back down the stairs. The class, sans Team Phantom, shared smiles and raced after them.

When the Team finally made it to the bottom of the staircase, they could hear Jack and Maddie giving them a rundown of everything in the Specter Bus. The team listened as well in case there was anything new that they needed to watch out for or shut off.

"Okay so, next to me is the Specter Bus. We designed and built it specifically for this trip so everyone should have enough room. We put window's into the sides so people can see out into the expanse of the Ghost Zone. We've outfitted the Bus with every weapon we have. No ghost is going to get into the Specter Bus on my watch." "Maddie! Did you pack the fudge?" She sighed, "Yes, Jack dear. It's in the fridge beside the passenger's seat." He smiled until he heard where it was. "But I wanted to drive!" She gave him a look. "You can't eat fudge and drive, Dear." "Ah! Your right! You can drive Maddie!" Maddie, the students, Mr. Lancer, and Team Phantom all sighed in relief. "Alright now! We're only going to be in the Ghost Zone for a few hours. We'll look around, explore some, and be back in time for a late lunch. Our daughter Jazz will be also be coming with us. Now, if everyone would get onto the Bus we can get this trip started."

Jack and Maddie slid into the front seats with Mr, Lancer behind them. Behind him, sat Mikey and Nathan. Behind them, Star and Paulina were giggling about the Ghost Boy. Behind the girls, Dash and Kwan were talking about becoming best friends with Phantom. At the very back, with their bags strapped tightly to their backs, Team Phantom shared weary glances. That bad feeling? The one they had had since the trips announcement? It just got a thousand times worse.

"Tuck." He looked at Jazz. "Yeah?" She grimaced. "You and Val hack into the system and make sure everything is up to our standards, not Jack and Maddie's." He nodded and gestured to Valerie, who was holding Tuck's backup PDA. "Already on it." Sam leaned over. "Good. Make sure it's done fast. We're leaving."

The Specter Bus rumbled to life under them and shifted forward into the swirling green expanse that was the Fenton portal.

(AN) Alright so, I wasn't to sure if I'd get this chappy out today. I had all four of my wisdom teeth (I always get it switched with molars) taken out at about 1:30 today. It went well though and I should have feeling back in my face in an hour or so. This is kinda a short chapter but it is important. We get to see more of how well the team works together and how comfortable they are with each other. We also get to see more on the classes reaction to them. UP NEXT! We finally venture into the Ghost Zone. I wonder how this is going to play out. As always, I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what you think~
