"Auto Jack activated! Buckle up and please pass the fudge!" The autopilot says, while we all buckle up and fly off, avoiding cars and trucks.

The GIW were quick to catch up on their own ships.

"It's after five, why can't they quit like every other government employee?" Sam groans.

Danny goes ghost and unbuckles as he touches the ship and starts to turn it invisible. Seeing what he was doing, I went ghost, unbuckle, and join him, and soon the ship started to disappear.

"Danny, (y/n), we lost them yesterday. You can stop now," Logan assured, walking over and gently pulling us away from the wall.

We let out a sigh of relief as the ship becomes visible again and we slide down onto the floor, detransforming. 

"Now that we're safe, you have some explaining to do. When were you going to tell us you were (s/n), (y/n)?" Sam asked, putting her hands on her hips as she glared at me. 

"Yeah, I was wondering about that too. Aren't we your friends? We're supposed to share these kinds of things!" Tucker chimed in, crossing his arms with a hurt expression.

"I just want to know what the heck is going on," Logan adds in as well.

Danny spoke up as we stood up. "Guys, calm down. We were going to tell you during our cross-country road trip, and then this mess started." 

"So you knew and didn't bother to tell us?!" Sam shouted, throwing her hands up in the air. 

"Hey! Don't get mad at him, if you're gonna get mad at anyone, be mad at me, even though you don't have a right to be mad," I stand in front of Danny defensively. "Danny didn't tell you anything because I asked him not to. I wasn't ready to tell you! Danny had learned by accident from the whole future fiasco, and if you actually stop and think, then maybe you'll understand why I was hesitant to tell you!"

Sam opens her mouth to argue, but I put a hand up, stopping her.

"I understand you're angry,  but it was my secret! I get the right to tell you when I'm ready. The reason I didn't tell you, Sam, and in turn Tucker, is because of how you've treated me as (s/n). You barely ever trusted me! You tried to hide a lot of things from me, and it's not like either of you was jumping at the chance to tell me Danny's identity."

"She's got a point, we were always hiding things from her, and you have been demanding she tell us her identity since like the beginning, Sam. She did have a right to keep it hidden with the way we have been treating her..."Tucker trails off. "I'm sorry (y/n)."

I gave him a reassuring smile before I looked over at Sam and waited for a response that never came.

Feeling the tension in the air, Logan comments. "Well, I think this is cool. Not the being attacked, and whatnot, but it's cool you two are the ghost kids."

Right...We should contact your parents," Tucker changes the topic.

"And tell them what? 'We're sorry we've been lying to you, and please don't rip us apart molecule by molecule.'? Besides, if they have anything to say to us, they can always contact us."

At that moment, a light started to beep, signifying an incoming call. 

"That must be them, here we go..." I say as I pull up the screen and take the call, as Freakshow's face appears. 

"Oh, hello, hope I'm not interrupting the worst day of your lives EVER! But it seems I need your help." 

"You miserable freak, why would we ever help you?!" Danny asks as we all glare at the poor excuse for a man on the screen. 

"Oh, I'm sorry, did I say need? I meant demand," He steps out of the way of the camera to show all of our parents trapped in boxcars, and we all gasp. "

He's got my parents!" Sam exclaims, and Tucker corrects her.

"He's got all our parents!" 

"I have something you want, and you know the locations of something I want, my gems. Which you five fools will retrieve if you ever want to see your families alive again! Oh, and just to keep it dramatic, you have four days," Freakshow says, ending the call with his annoying laughter, and the screen cuts to static. 

"Four days? But we don't even know where to start looking!" Danny exclaims, and Sam pulls out her book again.

"You know, school being out or not, you really should listen more. We're the ones who hid the gems, remember? Which means they're safe and sound at Gothapalooza!" Sam explains when Tucker speaks up.

"Except I was thinking about the Comic Book Convention." 

"I was thinking about the space center." 

"I was thinking about the festival," Danny and I chime in afterward.  

"Looks like we're getting that cross-country trip together after all," Logan chuckles.

A map appeared, and Danny pointed at Florida, saying, "Starting here." 

"Auto Jack setting U-course for Kate Canaveral, Florida."

We blasted off towards Florida.

At the space center, a group of tourists was on the elevator going to the top of the ship when a kid noticed the red gem and picked it up. 

"Woah, what's this? Some kind of moon rock?" The kid asks, looking over the gem.
