You ever have a plot-bunny find a mate and sprout babies without you even knowing how it happened? Yeah...that's what gave birth to this story.

Chapter One: Cabin-mates

"You've got to be kidding me!" Danny cried out in disbelief.

"I am not, Mr. Fenton." The woman said, gesturing to a clipboard. "All other cabins are taken. Perhaps you shouldn't have been late to sign-up?"

"And none of his ga-…er…friends was willing to be Dash's cabin-mate?!" Danny slapped his hands to his face.

"You and Mr. Baxter were the last to sign up." The woman said impatiently. "At least HE has a valid excuse, what's yours?"

"…I don't have one." He mumbled, glancing away. Not like he could TELL her he was fighting a ghost when he was supposed to be signing up for the trip! Tucker and Sam had already gotten out of going by having summer plans, but his family encouraged him to spend time with other kids ("You know, since you're not exactly going to be spending the summer ghost-hunting with us!") and already paid the entry fee.

They seemed to be really upset that he ran away whenever a ghost appeared…

"Then you're going to be cabin-mates with Mr. Baxter and that's final." She flicked the clipboard in emphasis and walked away.

"Worst…summer…ever." Danny groaned.

"This has gotta be the worst summer ever." Dash huffed as he saw Danny entering his cabin. "Don't tell me YOU'RE my cabin-mate, Fenton!"

"I had no choice; I was late to sign-ups." Danny said, setting down his bag and looking around the cabin. It was small and fit only two beds with two dressers and a small storage area next to a cooking/dining area. "So, how about we make it easier on each other and pretend the other doesn't exist?"

"Deal!" Dash huffed, kicking off his shoes and laying back on his bed. "Why are you always late to everything, anyway?"

"Ah, see, it's a LOT easier to pretend someone doesn't exist if they don't try to start a conversation with you." Danny said, starting to unpack into his dresser.

"Speaking of starting..." Dash said threateningly.

Danny cringed and bit his tongue to scold himself for being snarky. A blue mist escaped his lips and he cringed again. "Uhm…I have to go to the bathroom."

"Don't fall in, scrawny." Dash chided as Danny ran outside. He went behind the cabin, made sure no one was there, then changed into Danny Phantom and flew off to find the ghost.

He beat the ghost in fifteen minutes and came back to the cabin, returning to his unpacking.

"What, did you get lost?" Dash sneered.

"There isn't a map of this place and I do tend to get lost in unknown places like any normal person." Danny said, then mentally smacked himself for being snarky again.

He heard Dash's feet hit the ground and glanced over, seeing his fists clenched. 'Uh oh…' He thought. When the fist flew at him, he ducked low and ran out of the cabin.

"Fenton! Get back here, Fentina!" Dash called after him.

"Nope, not dealing with that." Danny said to himself, going invisible and ducking behind a tree as Dash ran by him wearing his shoes again. 'No wonder he took so long to chase me.' He thought.

He waited until he couldn't see him anymore and then went back to the cabin. By the time Dash returned, he had finished unpacking and was lying down on his side, facing the wall.

"You're pretty fast for a scrawny thing." Dash said, glaring at him as he shut the door behind him.

Danny ignored him, pretending to sleep. Dash rummaged in his dresser and pulled out a notebook. "We have to go and gather dinner, Fentina. Don't forget your notebook." He headed for the door, then looked over at him. "Fenton, wake up!"

Danny gave a half-heartened "go on ahead" wave as he sat up. Dash nodded firmly and walked out, slamming the door behind him.

Even though a lot of people were doing it, the point of this was to live in a cabin for the whole of summer vacation with one other person, using your knowledge about the wilderness to survive. The cabins were far apart, so the groups meeting up would require them to walk a LONG time – or fly, in Danny's case, but he didn't have anyone besides Valerie he wanted to meet up with and she didn't sign up because she had a job. Each cabin had its own outhouse, but you had to walk about five minutes to get to it.

Danny sighed and got up, grabbing his notebook. It was a three-section notebook, with each section dedicated to wilderness knowledge, the day log, (personal journal, in other words. Whoopee…) and a section to keep track of how well he and his roommate got along at the end of each day.

He was sure that section would be quite a hostile read from both of them.

He picked up a basket for herbs and berries to pick and silently wished he's learned to hunt or something because it looked like Sam's kind of meal was his meal for ALL summer. Seriously regretting going to this at all, he made his way out of the cabin and walked into the woods. Due to it being summer, the woods were lit up brightly by the sun and it wasn't hard to determine what was safe and what was not based on trips he'd taken with his family before.

"About TIME you came out, Fentina!" Dash said, noticing him coming into the wooded area. He was about to reach into a bush when Danny's eyes widened and he ran over, slamming into him and knocking him to the ground. "Hey!"

"Don't touch that, it's poisonous!" Danny said, looking down at him. "Don't you know anything about botany?!"

"No, I don't! So how about YOU get the veggies, while I bring home the beef?" He pulled out a hunting knife and shoved Danny off, leaving his basket with him.

"You can hunt?" Danny blinked.

"I go hunting with my dad every winter!" Dash replied. "Don't have a gun or bow and arrow, so a knife will have to do!"

Great, no wonder he was always able to track him down to beat him up. He should've figured he was a hunter.

Danny lucked out by chance and found a bush of boysenberries. Smiling, he carefully picked them and put them in his basket. "These will taste good with whatever meat he brings back." He said to himself.

A blue mist escaped his lips and he groaned. What, was this forest just horribly haunted? He looked around to make sure Dash wasn't around and then changed form, flying off to deal with the problem.

Fun times will abound! Stuck alone with your best enemy! XD

What do you guys think? Do you want to see more, or should I keep the remaining chapters to myself?
