Phantom Trip

Snow days are fun days

Tucker sighed and sat on the ground next to Sam. He sent Leroy a wary glance. The monster blinked at them, having been woken up, realized they weren't his human and stood up. Tucker humphed at the monster's reatreating form but smiled when Cujo barked him a greeting.

Tucker and Sam sat quietly as they watched the students skating around and talking. Most were getting bored and it wouldn't be long before they decided to go to that ice house.

Tucker snorted at the sight of Richard on a yeti's back as they speeded past, followed by Chelsea, who wanted on too, and Melissa, who was trying to stop Chelsea from going on. "How do you think it's going to be when we get back?"

"Mmh?" Sam glanced at him before shifting her gaze to where he was looking. "Oh. Well, I'm going to miss our old trio."

"Yeah," Tucker sighed, "our tight little group was great. It's gonna get cramped with so many extra poeple."

"But if they actually keep their promise. You know, about keeping our secret and helping us out ghost hunting. If they keep it, it will help us. Especially Danny. Hopefully he won't worry about them too much, though."

"Hopefully they can take care of themselves or Danny is gonna mother hen them to ghostness." Tucker chuckled and Sam snorted.

"You mean the other way around." Sam gestured towards the group. "It's them who are gonna worry the heck outa him."

"How can you not."

Sam nodded and they stayed quiet for a moment, thinking about how even though Danny is the one with the powers and who keeps protecting them and the most durable, the boy practically begs others to protect him. Not literally of course. He always tries not to bother others with his problems. But with such a face and such a heart, you would have to be evil to not wanna wrap him up in blankets and shoot anyone who comes five feet near.

Sam smiled. Now that he was her boyfriend, she'd have more safeguarding rights. Her smile widened when she realized something. "He won't have to worry about his parents anymore."

Tucker gasped. "Oh that's right! That's a relief. Also, Mr Lancer knows. You know what that means."

Sam and Tucker smiled happily as they said: "No more detentions."

Tucker puffed his cheeks as he sighed deeply. "Man, so many problems have been solved now."

Sam nodded and frowned, as if shocked. "This trip was good for something after all."

"If we ignore all the near death experiences."

"We always ignore those."

They were interrupted by Dorian, who flew up to them. "Hey! We're going to the house. Care to join us?"

The last of the trio smiled and stood up, following the others.

About an hour later Danny could be seen flying on his back with his hands behind his head and a camera floating after him. He had his eyes closed as he felt around at the ectoplasm.

He sensed a rock up ahead and changed direction to avoid it, the camera following suit. Danny smiled excitedly. Every new power he got was amazing. The surprises they gave him never got old.

He felt the cold of the Far Frozen getting nearer and his eyes cracked open. He flipped over, his eyes raking over the vast lair, searching for his friends.

Finally he found them surrounding a small igloo-like house and working around like ants. He took a moment to admire the shittiness that was their ice house. It seemed like they had had a disagreement on how to make it and now it looked like Hello Kitty had barfed on Pariah's castle.
