Hello people! How y'all doing? I know it's short and I'm kinda late to update, but we finally find out what's up with Amber's electric blue eyes! Well sort of… Oh no! I've said too much! *runs away*

Amber and Danny had been for hours trying to close the portal, without success. The ideas that came up either didn't work, they didn't have resources or were just too ridiculous.

"No Amber, that won't work, I mean, where are we going to get a sword sharp enough to cut the connection to the ghost zone?"

"Good point"

Just then, the Box Ghost decided to make his return.

"BEWARE!"

No. Just. No, Amber thought, she turned to the Box Ghost.

"I thought I told you to get out of here".

"BUT-"pdate

"GO!"

"Yes ma'am". The Box ghost returned through the portal he had come from.

"Wow…now I know that it is a bad idea to argue with you"

Amber half-smiled at this comment. "Yeah, I think it would be best to avoid that", she said, walking towards the portal to get a closer look at it. She stared at it for a few seconds before she accidentally waved her hand, causing the portal to disappear. She stared at her hand for a moment and gave Danny a what-just-happened look.

Danny shrugged. "Why didn't we think of that in the first place?" he said.

"Maybe because I didn't know that it was possible?"

"Right"

"The important thing here is that the portal is closed and the Box Ghost won't-" She paused. "Something's wrong. Really, really wrong"

"Well, my alternative future self is loose and-"

"No. This is much worse. Come with me", Amber said, running out the door. Danny followed her. They both ran outside and down the sidewalk. Right after they passed in front of Amber's house, Amber skidded to a halt.

"Hold on! I can't leave the house open! My parents would kill me!" she ran back and pulled out a set of keys from her pocket. Just before locking the door, she opened it a bit, just enough to stick her head through.

"Casper! You coming with us?"

Casper barked once.

"Okay! I'll be back!"

Danny looked confused. "You can understand him?"

"Not really, but when he really does want to go out he immediately goes and gets his leash", she answered, locking the door. "Okay, now we can go"

They continued to run down the road. Actually, Amber did the running. Danny just flew beside her. They reached an alley. Amber pushed a brick on the wall, causing a small keypad to appear. She typed some kind of password on it and a secret door opened, revealing the entrance to an elevator. She stepped in, gesturing for Danny to follow and pressed a red button on the wall. The doors slid closed as the elevator descended. When they finally opened again, they were in a room with white walls and a few beanbag chairs in different colors. On the far end of the room, there was a door with a genetic lock. Amber walked over to it and placed her hand on the scanner. The door slid open, and Amber stepped in. Behind the door there was a fully equipped lab. Some test tubes filled with colorful liquids stood on top of a table with a few empty beakers. There was a bookshelf on one side of the lab. Amber walked over to one of the tables and picked up a red laptop and started typing something. Danny was busy staring at his surroundings.

"What is this place?" he asked.

"Welcome to the T.H. Zone, aka 'the zone'", Amber answered, still typing.

"The zone?"

"Yup…oh here it is…oh no…" her expression darkened.

"What happened?" Danny asked.

"It's worse than I thought. Not only your alternative future self is loose, but an older, evil version of myself has escaped her prison"

"And that's bad because..."

"Right. You don't know"

"Know what?"

With that, Amber closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and a blue energy ring appeared above her head, which moved downward across her body, changing her dark brown hair into raven black with a blue streak in it. Her teal tank top and skinny jeans were replaced by a blue t-shirt and black pants and on her hands, a pair of white fingerless gloves appeared. Her usually brown eyes now glowed electric blue, just like Danny had seen a while before.

Amber: I remember that! The look on Danny's face was hilarious!

Aleena: I know!

Amber: Hey, I don't have school tomorrow. Wanna go to the mall?

Aleena: Sorry. I can't. Back to school party tomorrow.

Amber: You have a back to school party?

Aleena: It sounds weird, but yeah. We're going skating. It's gonna be awesome!

Amber: Do you even know how to skate…on roller skates?

Aleena: Of course I do! What makes you think I don't?

Amber: Well you trip over your own feet all the time. I'm surprised that you can still stand up.

Aleena: Well that just plain hurts. And for your information, that has happened only once and I was really distracted that day.

Amber: Whatever…
