Swimming around the school and finding a safe place to revert back to his original form, Danny quickly dressed and ran back into the school without anyone noticing, Thanks to Lance trying to get any footage and interviews from teens at the other end of the school.

But Danny didn't care about that for the moment he was more worried about what Sam was doing with his sister. Running through the halls of the school he soon spotted her looking smug as she walked over to him.

"Well looks like you took care of the problem."

"Yeah piece of cake, what about my sister?"

"Well she's tall, a redhead and looking fairly healthy by the looks of it."

"Sam you know what I mean." He said out of breath.

"Fine, I met both Jazz and Ted separately, promoted the fair as a way to relieve stress and subtly hinted that the other one was going. Long story short they'll both go, now can you calm down?" Sam suggested.

Danny took a few deep breaths finally getting his bearings. "Ok, I'm good. You were right by the way there is a shadow rider out there I just met him in fact." Sam wasn't looking so smug anymore.

"Did you destroy his shadow?" She said with a serious look.

Danny was a little unnerved by her stare. "No, he ran before I could do that. I don't see what the problem is Sam nearly every attack he threw at me I could counter plus he wasn't really that strong."

"That's because you caught him off guard and out in the open next time he'll use every available trick to get an edge." She said becoming frustrated.

"Ok if he really is that bad then you can come with me to beat him, after all he doesn't know how dangerous you are." Sam was silent for a moment.

"You're right if he does come back we can send him a warning by showing just how outclassed he is."

"Cool, so do we know where he'll show up next?" Sam scratched her chin in thought. Snapping her fingers she instantly gained a large grin.

"At the fair, They naturally crave showing off and what better place then the fair."

"Your right, he also said he was interested in the boat and the fair has a large boat and jetski auction every year." Danny agreed before he facepalmed. "This also means Jazz and Ted will be in the firing line what am I gonna do."

"Keep an eye on them duh, they're both going to be in the same spot I'd figure you to be one capable of multitasking," Sam spoke in a slite mocking voice.

"I guess." He moaned. "Unless Tucker can do it for you?"

"Can't actually he's already in charge of making scenarios for Jazz and Ted to get along."

Danny looked at her like she had two heads. "You put Tucker. TUCKER in charge of a date? Come on, he's likely to get them stuck in an elevator, play romantic music and then pour water down onto them in a crude attempt to get them together."

"Oh you're being ridiculous, he's the best one of us for the job, I don't know enough about human culture and you'd be too grossed out by being a third wheel on your sister's date." Danny grunted but couldn't deny it.

Before he could retort however Mr lancer came running around the corner. "Mr Fenton, Miss Manson need I remind you that if you are late to another class today I-eeeehhhhhAAAAAHHH!" Lancer was cut off as he slipped on Sam's earlier attempt at lovers collision, across the floor in between the two Mers in disguise and into a janitors locker.

"I'll meet you at the fair, till then RUN!" With that, they bolted before Lancer could remember what had just happened.

Using his board to get home Danny began to think about the idea of his sister having a boyfriend. It didn't bother him too much as he and his sister had been slowly moving apart mostly due to her studying, But she was still his sister and he would do anything to protect her. Even if it meant hurting her.

Finally arriving home Danny was greeted to the site of Lance and his father, who seemed to be conversing over something. "Over the years the most common argument people give to why Mers don't exist is that they can never detect them on any sort of equipment whether it be sonar or hydrophone. But thanks to the recent activity of the Mers I've had plenty of time to find out why. It turns out they produce energy unlike any other, it is so powerful that it can jam all electrical devices." Overhearing this Danny walked in.

"Hey Dad what's going on."

"Oh hey Danny, I was just talking to Lance here who had an encounter with a Mer today. Unfortunately he had a little trouble as the slimeball was on top of him before he knew it. Lucky he came back to me, the expert, and thanks to my new invention he'll find him in no time. Behold!" He pulled out what looked like something that detects radiation.

"What is it?"

"The Fenton Mer Alert." He turned it on getting one or two beeps. "Simply turn it on and point it in any given direction." He demonstrated. "The moment it detects a Mer it will start going haywire."

"You don't have to do it so dramatically Mr Fenton, I heard you were an inventor, not a salesman." Lance said trying not to be rude.

"I never let my optimism get down especially when it comes to my inventions." He said taking a bow inadvertently pointing his invention at Danny.

BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP!

Danny jumped staring at the device in horror, 'Crap he actually made something that works' Danny thought to himself.

Jack pulled it back to himself. "Oh, boy one is in the area!" Only for the machine to go silent. "Darn I must have scared it off, too loud Jack too loud." Danny calmed down at that. 'Thankfully Dad's like a little kid when something he makes works, I'll be fine.' He thought with a smirk.

"Your father certainly is an excitable one." Lance added.

"He's not so bad, he just needs one of us to bring him down to earth every now and then. So I heard you got into a situation with a mer."

"That is true and there is the possibility of an interview with one in the future. I met the phantom and he said that he might be able to get Calypso to come talk with me."

"Think she'll show?"

"Even if she doesn't if things keep up this way I'll have enough footage for the first episode of my series." Danny nodded feeling better that he wouldn't let down one of his heroes if he didn't show.

"Well good luck to you."

"Wait, Danny, do you know much about Eerie bay?"

"Not a lot, just that it has a very creepy atmosphere and most locals stay away from it, why?"

"I was going to head there after being told I might have an audience with Calypso I just wanted to make sure there wasn't something to look out for."

"Nah you should be fine but don't get your hopes up nothing lives at Eerie bay so you might not get anything for your troubles."

"How come?"

"It's the greatest mystery in Amity park that no one has an answer for. Sorry, that's all I know."

"More than enough thanks Danny." Danny left feeling a little giddy after talking to Lance. Thinking about earlier today he remembered he hadn't told Sam.

Taking out his phone he called Sam.

"Hey Danny what's up?"

"Nothing I just remembered something after fighting the Shadow rider."

"Ok?"

"Just after the fight Lance caught me and begged to have an interview with me and I panicked and said that you would probably explain it better, and I told him you would meet him at Eerie bay for an interview." Danny stated waiting for an answer.

After what felt like a minute Sam responded. "What time?"

"Ten o'clock." a sigh came from the other side.

"Fine I'll do it you better hope he's not biased as you say he isn't." Danny breathed easier at that moment. "This just means you're gonna have to catch the Shadow rider without me alright?"

"Alright."

"Good stay safe."

Jazz waited outside the fair anxiously fearing she had been misled into thinking Ted was coming, Ironically Ted was walking towards the fair thinking the exact same thing.

When he spotted her he gave himself a quick talk over and approached. "Hey Jazz fancy meeting you here."

Jazz jumped but frantically regained herself. "Oh Ted how are you?"

"Not too bad I was just coming to the fair because of some author who said he'd come here." He declared his cover story.

"Really me too." Jazz mentally hit herself. "But since we're both here maybe we can explore the fair together?"

Ted smiled. "I'd like that."

Meanwhile, from a shooting stall, Danny was observing the two lovebirds with a keen eye while on the phone to Tucker.

"How they lookin'."

"About as gag-worthy as boyfriends explaining how much they love their partners on Facebook."

"Yeesh, well this shouldn't be too hard on my end at least."

"What are you planning for my sister's date exactly."

"I have organised several stalls to host prizes that both of the lovebirds should desire as well as making sure those stalls are games that they will enjoy."

"That all?"

"Nope but I can't spoil everything now can I?"

"Fine, I'm gonna go to the boat show see if this Mer will show up."

"And Sam?"

"Giving an interview a little ahead of schedule."

"Well good luck man."

"Thanks bro." Hanging up Danny went to the boat show.

The show if you could call it that was rather uneventful. Just a bunch of yachts on display that probably cost a few million dollars, fishing boats that caught more rust than fish and speed boats that were stationary. Danny was almost begging for the Shadow rider to show up because if he didn't then something might just catch fire.

His phone began ringing.

"Hello?"

"Danny we've got a problem." It was Tucker.

"What's wrong did your plan mess up?"

"No that is going perfectly. But there is an unwanted guest interfering with the 'not date' and he seems very interested in your sister." Getting the message he ran off to Jazz and Ted.

Looking around a corner he saw just how bad the situation was. A biker with no respect for personal hygiene was hitting up on Jazz who had absolutely no interest.

"I'm not interested now go away."

"Oh come on that's just because you've yet to know me."

"She's said she's not interested now back off." Ted threatened.

"Or what tough guy?"

Taking a closer look Danny became infuriated with who the biker was. "Tucker this is worse than I thought."

"How come?"

"The guy is the shadow rider."

"What how do you know that."

"He looks just like the Mer and he's missing his shadow." True to his word the Mer was covered in average biker gear, a jacket, biker gloves, multiple belts and several other pieces Danny couldn't put words on.

"Oh boy, what are ya gonna do?"

"I have an idea but it's risky." Focusing on the guy's shoe Danny raised his hand with his eyes going turquoise.

"You're about to find out punk." Ted threatened, but before either of them could move Jazz interrupted with a scream.

"Jazz what's wrong?"

"He's on fire!" Looking at the Mer in disguise they noticed a large amount of smoke surrounding him, the origin of which was coming from his shoe.

"AHHH! HOT! HOT!" Jonny blew on his foot in a futile attempt to put it out before jumping into the sea below. Danny used this opportunity to rush over to find him.

The clear ocean was all that he found. "Damn that was close."

"I'll say, nice choice of fire though you'd be great at a certain type of prank." Tucker said still on the phone.

"Not now Tucker...remind me later. How's my sister doing?" Looking around he found the couple holding each other close on a bench. Danny gagged. "Never mind they're fine I'll call you back if he shows up." He said finally hanging up.

What Danny didn't see was that Jazz was trying to calm Ted down. "You really didn't have to do that."

"I really wish I hadn't that guy could have killed me."

"Look it's fine he's gone now, take a deep breath and maybe we can go see more of the fair?"

Calming down Ted got a hold of himself. "Ok, I think I'm good now." He said smiling at her and she smiled back at him.

Danny meanwhile was looking for something to do while his sister continued her not date. "Well, I guess I'll just have to wait for this evening to be over couldn't be as bad Sam's night could it?"

Lance was waiting in Eerie bay on his yacht constantly checking his watch. "Almost ten o'clock." Getting a little anxious he began to use the Fenton Mer alert to see if she was nearby but so far no luck.

"Sir are you sure you heard him right I mean what if he said somewhere else?" a crew member asked

"No, I'm sure he said here it's not even ten o'clock yet."

"As smart as these things are, do you think they follow time the same as us?" another asked.

"No, but I'm hoping to find that out tonight." He scanned to the left. "Now if you want to be helpful, keep a lookout." Focused on the scanner his heart jumped when it spiked. "AHA you see she's right over…" Lance looked up...and up...and up.

Sam, on the other hand, stared down at Lance and his crew getting similar reactions to the one Danny gave her. 'You owe me so much after this Danny.' "Someone told me that a person needs to speak to me so speak up, if you aren't then I shall go."

Lance took a moment to compose himself before asking "A-are you C-Calypso?"

"Seems to be what everyone likes to call me these Days while not my real name I'll stick with it for privacy."

Lance finally calmed down and motioned for his team to get ready. "Then Calypso, Many of the townsfolk as well as much of the world is a little worried about the sudden appearance of Mermaids and merman and we were hoping that an interview with one would help give us an understanding of your kind."

"Understandable it is well known that your kind fears what they don't understand and your methods to try and understand can be...less than moral," Sam stated. Finally getting the camera's rolling Lance began.

"Your kind has interacted with ours before?"

"Many times, though from what we remember we keep it to certain individuals. That and when revealing our existence to multiple specimens the end result was often violent, so we make sure to test out a few mass reveals every hundred to two hundred years to see if your society has adapted enough."

"Would you say it has?"

"Amity park is surprising open-minded but for everywhere else that could be a problem."

"Why is that."

"I can't say, it is very cutting for me." Sam said sinking a little into the water.

"You seem to be making yourself a permanent resident at amity park why is that?"

Sam swam around the boat trying to think of the best way to word why she is here. "I have been to a lot of places around the world, most of which is filled with creatures non-human and human alike which fear a creature like me, amity, on the other hand, gave me a reason to stay for the first time in a long time I feel at home." Lance nodded at her answer.

"A number of witnesses have seen you attacking other mermaids around town, should they be worried about your nature?"

"My nature is to gain more territory even if that means fighting other Mers for it, there also seems to be a lot of Mers around amity park."

"And why do we want you as the big territory owner instead of them?"

"Because I am someone who looks after their home. Give me some time and amity will be full of coral, fish and water so clear it will be indistinguishable from the sky above." Sam boasted.

"A tempting promise as I'm sure a lot of people in amity wouldn't mind the more fish policy." Sam giggled which seemed to lift everyone's spirit.

"If I may ask a question Lance Thunder." She said getting a shocked look from everyone on the boat. "Why do you feel the need to interview me from a boat, I thought from you're documentaries you enjoyed exploring the unknown up close and personal."

"You watch my documentaries?" Lance said stunned.

Sam smiled. "A little Phantom told me all about you and made me watch a couple, quite impressive indeed. But you didn't answer my question?"

"Well it's a matter of safety really I'm not too sure of your intentions yet?"

"True, but just to let you know." Sam suddenly dived below the surface. Suddenly her tentacles burst out of the water and wrapped around the boat shocking the crew getting a few yelps and screams from them. "I can rip this boat in half at any time. But I choose not to."

"A-a-aah strange way of saying it." Lance said still a little spooked.

Sam let go of the yacht. "Sorry I can't resist seeing the spooked looks on human faces, think of it as an adolescent tendency." This got Lance curious.

"You're a teenager?"

"That I am and I promise you, you have nothing to fear from me. I want to help people understand why I do what I do, I'll do good things but I'm not perfect." She stated trying to be relatable.

This seemed to work as Lance got confident all the sudden. "Fine then if you say so I think I might go for a swim." He stated shocking his crew.

"I look forward to it, I'll be down here waiting for ya." Sam said before going under.

"Sir you can't be serious." a crew member said panicked.

"I am serious and you're coming with me Charles." A long argument later had both Lance and Charles in scuba gear but with special helmets to allow them to speak. "Alright, no time like the present." Lance declared jumping in.

Swimming away from the boat Lance began to think that he'd been misled as he couldn't see Sam anywhere. Until it was revealed she was right in front of them as her bioluminescent scales lit up in a stunning display.

Charles was dumbfounded and checked his camera just to make sure he was, in fact, seeing what he was seeing. On the opposite end, Lance was suddenly reminded why he loved his job.

"Now there were some other things you wanted to ask me?" Sam said her voice place in a tune that put most singers to shame. Lance just smiled and continued his questionnaire.

Danny's night was becoming a handful, he didn't know what this guy found so interesting about his sister, because so far he had to stop his advances almost to an uncountable degree.

One moment he tried showing off his jetski (that he stole Danny thought) that Danny made overheat. He tried getting a merry go round to go out of control at the right moment to separate Ted from Jazz, Tucker ended up turning the ride off.

Despite all the mishaps, the one that got Danny busted was when he activated the fire control hoses blasting Jonny off the wharf for the umpteenth time, only for Jonny to spot him just as he turned the valve.

"HAHAHAHAHA! Honestly man where was the level of creativity when you were getting bullied." Tucker said over the phone.

"Tuck I think he just found out the source of his bad luck."

Tucker went silent for a moment. "What are you gonna do?"

"Make sure he leaves, I'm gonna lure him away make sure...I can't believe I'm saying this, make sure my sister has a good time."

"Don't worry the finale is gonna blow her mind." Danny hung up and walked toward an empty part of the fair. Finding the right spot near some railing he stood waiting, he didn't have to wait long.

Walking towards him soaking wet and with murder in his eyes was Jonny. Danny played it cool not looking threatened in the slightest from the older Mer.

"You think your pretty funny don't ya short stuff." Jonny growled.

"Yeah, after all, you make one hell of a splash." Danny quipped.

"Oh ho ho, a smart guy huh? Well listen, smart guy, the next time I see you get the way of me and that chick it'll be your hide."

"That 'chick' is Jasmine Fenton a girl who's life is studying and helping people be better than themselves. I can guarantee you now she wouldn't be the slightest bit interested in a creep like you." Danny spoke with a threatening tone.

"You seem to know a lot about her."

"I should she is my sister after all."

"Well let me put it this way, you really don't want to get to know me because unless you shut your trap things are gonna get ugly." Jonny threatened now looking down his nose at Danny flashing his fangs as a way to scare him off.

"Damn, and I thought some saltwater would make you smell better, big mistake." Jonny was taken back from Danny's lack of fear, that's when Danny struck.

Wrapping his arms around Jonny he fell back over rails into the ocean. Danny then pushed off Jonny and quickly shifted into his Mer form.

Jonny saw this and recoiled in shock. "You!"

"Yes me." Danny copied launching forward and knocking Jonny to the seafloor. "Me me me." Danny said floating up and blasting his enemy with fire.

Jonny now in his Shadow rider form became very angry. "I am so gonna smoke you for what you've done to me!" his shadow materialised and enveloped Danny. "Try this on brat." The shadow then began smashing Danny into pillars, the floor and any rocks he could find. "How's that feel?"

The shadow began to scream as it hostage became really hot Danny grabbed it and held it close preventing its escape. "It tickles, compared to what Sam puts me through this is nothing. Also in my personal opinion, I find it pretty stupid having all your power stored into another being especially since I have all the resources needed to destroy it, like so." Danny then blasted the shadow with so much fire it exploded in a fantastic light show.

Jonny all the sudden felt very weak. "My shadow!" He turned to see a very smug-looking Danny "Crap."

"So you should, but first allow me to make a point." For the next minute, Danny wailed on Jonny making sure that he wouldn't forget what happened tonight, ending by pinning Jonny to the ground.

"Enough please I won't come here again I promise."

"Good, but first some rules. First, you will never come here again as you said, second you will not attack anything here again and finally." Danny pulled him up to look him in the eye. "If you so much as look at my sister again I will crush you in such a painful way that this will seem like a pat on the back, got it!" Danny yelled truly looking like a predator.

"Of course man just don't hurt me."

"Get out of here!" Jonny didn't need to be told twice. Danny took the time to calm down and get back to shore, but before he could Tucker called. "Hey Tuck."

"Hey man, so you know how I said how I had a finale?"

"Yeah?" Danny drew out getting a bad feeling.

"Well I might need a hand with it."

He just sighed. "What do you have in mind?"

Jazz and Ted were looking at the moon over the ocean. Not really feeling the need to do anything other than be in each others company.

"I had a really good time tonight." Jazz spoke up.

"Me too."

"Even with that weirdo running after me."

"Yeah but something always got him out of the way, and I think they were caused by your brother." Jazz was a little shocked by this. "Well, I saw him push a hotdog stand into the creep so that's what I think. He must really care for you." Jazz nodded though was silently thanking Danny for what he did.

"I'm getting a little past my curfew." Jazz realise.

"Let's just stay a little longer," Ted said taking hold of her hand.

Jazz found it hard to resist. "You what I think I will." She said smiling at him. Sudden the sky lit up. Jets of fire were erupting from the water and exploding in a magical display, Jazz feeling hypnotized laid her head on Ted's shoulder as the blue flames entrance the both of them.

I'm back everybody (Cricket noise) yeah that should be expected. For those of you who are still here allow me to deeply apologise, this chapter was actually the second part to the previous chapter and the setting I used just wasn't very exciting, so I got bored and did other things but finally, I beat myself up for not doing it and knuckled down. That being said I have a great idea for the next chapter, no more easily beatable villains no more cheap tricks it is time for a challenger... In the next chapter. Don't forget to review Cya.
