"Uh oh, I have a bad feeling about this..." Sam trailed off as our friends looked around the cheering crowds.
"Relax, Sam, so he'll propose a couple of lame laws, how bad could it be?" Tucker asked, trying to look on the bright side of things.

Within the following week, the rules started hammering down.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" Tucker shouted as he latched onto Mr. Lancer's feet and was dragged across the room.
The Technus Act will ban all high-tech gear susceptible to ghost infiltration.
A strict dress code will guard against anything dark and goth, which can attack ecto-unfriendlies.
There will be a 4 pm curfew, mandatory role call before and after classes, and heightened security to ensure the safety of all students.
Finally, romantic relationships are forbidden so as not to become easy targets for ghosts.
The security guard slammed me and Danny into the lockers as they grabbed our bags and emptied them on the floor before walking off. Sam and Logan come over to help us pick up our stuff, though it was a bit harder for me and Sam because of these darned uncomfortable skirts! We see Lancer walk by, still dragging Tucker, who finally lets go.
"For the records, dude, this reeks."
"Everybody also thinks it's your guy's fault. Guilty of your association with Vlad," Sam says, passing the final book as we stood up, Danny glaring at the camera.
"Hey, we're taking the biggest hit here, with all this servaliance and restrictions, Vlad's making sure that we can almost never go ghost.
"Not to mention he's making sure life is miserable to ward off any ideas of stopping him," I grumble, crossing my arms.
If I gave Danny even the slightest look of romantic interest, I'd be scolded and given detention by the teachers.
Tuck pulled up the latest newspaper with the caption 'Phantom and (s/n) go home!' An image of us crossed out was underneath. "Maybe that's a good thing, looks like your paranormal non-grande again."
I dig my nails into my skin as I emit a low growl as Logan points out, "Vlad's claiming that Danny Phantom and (s/n) presence may be more of an invitation to ghosts than a deterrent."
"Which we all know is an absolute load, with us out of the picture, ghosts will be all over town."

This theory was proved true as ghosts started filtering in, but according to the newspaper, the GIW had begun to actually do their job right and started capturing ghosts thanks to Vlad.
We looked over the latest ghost-capturing headline in disbelief as Sam stated, "Boy, Vlad's PR machine is really trumping up these ghost battles."
"All those phony attacks were staged, Vlad's convincing everyone that they don't need us anymore," I state, crossing my arms again while glaring at the paper.
"But on the bright side, at least Vlad is rebuilding our hangout," Tucker said, gesturing towards the new McMaster's Bistro before gasping as we looked at the new monstrosity.
"McMaster's?" Danny asks as we walk over and tries to go inside, only to be blocked by a guard.
"Can I help you? To leave," We were all picked up and thrown into the streets as he announced, "There are no teenagers allowed here."
"What?! You can't be serious?!" Danny exclaims as the guard points to a 'No teenagers' sign with a smirk.
"Now beat it! All you's kids!"
"This is all your and your girlfriend's fault, Fen-Addict-Arnold. You're responsible for this lousy mayor!" Dash accused, pointing at us as he and his crew stomped away.
"Okay, I really feel like crud now, there's only one thing left to do," Danny remarks, looking at me as I nod, and he starts to shout, "I'm going—"
"Wait!" I shout, cutting him off, and I point to the camera looking at us.
"No worries, Vlad took away my tech, so I'm taking his," Tucker reassured, tying a blue headband around his head and putting on war paint on his cheeks.
He ran up, climbed up, and pulled the camera off the building, giving us the go-ahead before cuddling the camera. We start to run towards the wall, jumping up and going ghost as we phased through the building into Vlad's office.
"Daniel, (y/n), I had a feeling you'd come," Vlad tells us, looking up from his papers with a smirk.
"Look, this goes against everything I stand for, but I'm sorry I played those stupid pranks on you, and I'm hoping you'll accept my apology and stop making things miserable for me and my friends," Danny apologizes, crossing his arms, and I apologize too.
"I'm also sorry I helped play those pranks, so please stop, you're taking this way too far, truce?"
Danny outstretches his arm, hoping he would accept, but Vlad slaps the hand away.
"How nice, a gentleman's handshake, but you forget where you two and I are concerned. I. AM. NO. GENTLEMAN!"
"Oh come on! Can you even pretend to have a heart?!" I asked, throwing my hands up in the air as Danny chimes in.
"We're making an effort here!"
"I know! Even though the apology is a welcome departure from your usual childish arrogance, it belies a greater truth: You. Had. This. Coming!" He shouts at us with a pointed finger.
