Since last week, the A-listers had been paying keen attention to Danny and his friends, often talking for a second then dissapearing the next. Dash had opened the lockers he was stuffed in twice now, and Valarie seemed to talk to him more often, sometimes even have lunch with him and his friends. Mikey was the strangest, when he was supposed to be partnered with Nick for a task because he wasn't in class at the time, he volunteered to be his partner leaving Nick without a partner.

"Danny, tell me I am not the only one seeing some of the A-listers helping you..." Tucker asked with a shocked expression.

"Your not Tuck, and to be quie honest with you, I dont get it either." Danny replied

"A ghost might be possesing them. Tryig to get to you Danny."

"Maybe, but wouldn't my ghost sense have gone off then?" He asked sceptically.

"I don't know, remember that time with Paulina? It didn't go off..." Sam reasoned

The trio proceeded to go to their lunch table and have lunch, clueless as to what was happening aeound them. Nick walked over to heir table with a sick grin on his face, two guys on his flanks. He smashed his fist onto the table gaining he whole cafeterai's attention.

"Fenton! What are you doing?" He asked out loud.

"Uhm... Eating lunch I guess."

"WRONG!" Nick shouted and grabbed a hand full of Danny's hair and shoved his face into his food, spreading his face in the food. Laughing while he did so, he took a bottle of soda and soaked Danny with it. Suddenly his face got closely aqquinted with a sneaker as Kwan kicked Nick hard enough to send him crashing into another table. Valarie quickly gave the one jock that flanked Nick a hard jab in the stomach, crippling him, while Star gave an equilly powerful kick to the other's side.

Sam and Tucker was still frozen in shock of what Nick had just done, then when the other three helped Danny, they almost fainted from shock. They looked up ans saw Kwan and Mikey toss the three out of the cafeteria before they returned to Danny who was being cleaned up by Star and Valarie. Finnaly getting out of their stupor they went over to Danny.

"Tell Dash to get Jazz here. We should tell them before this gets out of hand." Star told Mikey.

"I already called him over. He just waited for Jazz to get out of class." Kwan replied.

Tucker, Sam and Danny were confused. They knew Dash had a HUGE crush on Danny's sister and hat he was a bit protective of her, which was odd. The A-listers suddenly taking intirest in Danny and helping him out was odd, and with what they just said, it seemed really suspisiuos to them. The ghost theory seemed more and more likely by the second.

"Okay, what the HELL is going on here?" Asked an irritated Sam.

"We will explain when Dash and Jazz get here. Though I think we should probably move somewhere a little bit more private for this conversation." Mikey suggested.

The two girls nodded and dragged the trio out, meeting Dash on the way telling him to follow them. They walked out and got in Mikey's SUV and drove out of school, having sent the teachers a message saying they are takig the Fentons and his friends wih them. They arrived at Dash's house, tugging the confused four inside with them.

"What happened?" Was Dash's firat question.

"Attacked Danny in the caf. Good thing Jazz wasn't there yet, otherwise he would have done much worse to her." Kwan informed his friend. "But that's not why we're here. We need to tell them Dash, we know your trying to protect them from him, but it would be easier if you tell them."

Dash sighed and nodded. "Since that already happened, I might as well. You guys should take a seat, every one of you. Kwan will fill in what I miss."

"Two years ago, Nick got insulted by Harvey and had been laughed at by the whole school. He had this look on his face, it promised pain and death. Only 4 days had passed when he attacked Harvey on his way home. He left they guy near dead, almost all of his bones were broken and he had cracked his skull. Harvey went into a coma, and hadn't woken up since.

"Later that same month a large gang fihht had broke out just outside of the Amity Park in Willow Ridge. He had been one of the gang leaders and killed a few of the rival gangs members. It was on the news, and he had went to court, pleading that he was being forced into the gang. We know the truth, that bastard lied and killed for the sick pleasure of it.

"When I stopped him last week, he had that same look he gave Harvey. I got them to help protet you two from Nick and his gang, but Mikey was right, it would have been easier if we told you from the start."

"Besides that, Dash had been tryig to find enough evidence to have Nick locked up, but his parents make everything dissappear with their money. It's frustrating, knowing what you do, because the one guy who told you about Nick's true colors suddenly died in a car accident." Kwan added.

The rest of the group sat and slowly digested the information the two jocks had given them. Danny was slightly panicked, this guy could discover his secret and he was a murderer. Thinking back to the what happened earlier, he realised that if he didnt have his abilities, he would have choked on the food. The rest of the group was scared of what Nick had done and what he would do.

"What do we do?" Asked Jazz.

"I have no idea Jasmine." Dash said. "Maybe Phantom could help us. You three seems close to him."

They nodded and stood up leaving. Tucker, Sam and Danny already at he door, but Jasmine lstayed behind for a second.

"We'll ask him when we see him again Dash. Thanks for everything." Jazz said and gave him a hug and peck on the lips, before leaving with Danny and his friends.

Dash stood there stuttering like and idiot and blushing. Smilling all the while, causing the others to laugh at his idoitic look. Kwan smiled, he knew Dash would never had made a move, but Jazz had just made it for him, telling his friend it was okay. A chuckle from two girls brought the jock from his musings.

"I never thouht I sould see the day The Mighty Dash Baxter gets urned into a pubble of mush by a simple peck on the lips." Valerie commented, Star nodded in agreement sniggering.

"Well, this wouldn't be the first time it happened. Well, except last time it was a peck on the cheek, bt he had the same reaction." Kwan said nonchacalantly.

"What? When!" Star asked excitedly.

"Right after the standoff in the cafeteria the first time. She took him to the nurses office and thanked him with a peck to the cheek." He eplained.

Star and Valerie gave each other wide predatory grins with viscous glints in their eyes. The look was one of the few Kwan had leant to fear, because it usaully ment painful feet from hours of boring shopping trips and carrying bags. If he didn't want to go, the dreaded puppy dog eyes would be used againt him. He needed to get out of here and FAST.

Suddenly his phone "rang" and he answred it. "Hey Kwan here."

The jock acted for a minute, before saying "Sure, be over in a bit." and "ended" the call. He stood up saying his goodbyes, but before he could get out the door, an arm coverd in bangles stopped him from exiting. Valerie stood blocking his exit with a smile on her face.

"Where do you think you are going?" She asked.

"To go get my little brother from school, he's sick." Kwan replied without missing a beat.

"Oh really? Since when does your little brother's school call you when he is sick? You don't even have a car..." she countered.

"I would have went home to get my car..."

"Well, that sounds reasonable, however, nobody actaully talked back to you and you just played your ringtone. Come on Kwan, we know that tactic, you use it everytime to get out of class when you don't feel like sitting there."

"Uhm..."

"Just like I thouht. You just wanted to bail on me and the gang."

"Nooooo, no, no, no what gave you that prepoaterous idea?"

Valerie only give him a look and he sighed in defeat and went back in, plopping down next to Mikey, who chuckled. The other jock knew it was hopeless to fight against the female gender when they had shopping in mind, not that they didn't try... He had even tried the I am gay excuse, but that had backfired and sent them on a frenzy, he suddenly shivered at the memory. He still regretted that too this day.
