The day for Casper High could have been better as Mr. Fuluka, the teacher in charge for the current biology class mused on a recent development before him. "Fascinating. Possibly some of the most interesting mandibular formations I've ever seen." If only it could have been said about an average bug, not a giant green mosquito the size of a bull. "I hope I don't end up seeing it from the inside!" The bug crept closer, but the hero arrived as Danny dove down to the bug's confusion before plucking it up from the bottom as he exclaimed to the giant bug.

"Anybody up for a Game of Slug Bug?" He tossed the bug out and made it crash into the ground before it got up and fired eye beams at him before he dodged out of the way as it whizzed past, he attempting to blast it before it netted him with goo and caused him to crashed into a tree as he met the teal blues of a familiar girl who had gasped to confirm her presence.

"Paulina!" She beamed as Danny continued in his confined position in the tree. "You should run." She didn't do the sensible thing as she tried to rush over to hug him as he exclaimed, freeing his hands from the goo. "No, not toward me. Away! Run!" He blasted to her ducking and seeing the massive bug and book it as Danny freed himself as he took flight away, just as Valerie quickly joined him and and exclaimed.

"Why is it a giant bug, WHY!?"

"Do you want to ask it that question?" Both dodged as Danny shouted. "Time to introduce it to a familiar friend..." Both branched into Danny's direction before both stopped before the power lines as Danny spoke to the zooming pest. "Bug..." Both dodged at the last second, just as their pest crashed into the telephone lines, electrocuting itself as Danny smirked. "...Zapper." Instead of getting stunned, however, the bug just exploded and fragmented into hundreds of smaller bugs before they formed a swarm and dove into the school as Danny groaned. "Well, one down, a billion to go."

"That's a bit over the top, but okay..." Both zoomed in to change back and see what they could find...

They didn't find much before Valerie scrunched her face as Danny vocalize his dismay as they found the smell of utter disgust coming from Tucker. "Fwe, what is that smell?" Tucker answered as he showed them both the can.

"This, its my new all over body spray. I made it myself, I call it 'Foley, by Tucker Foley'." Both started to gag as the light-green mist spray overwhelmed their senses as Tucker explained it to be the smooth guy. "It combines with your natural odor to create a sweet, manly scent, that smells different to everyone who sniffs it."

"Tuck, you smell like a sweaty cookie."

"Fermenting fruitcakes for me." Valerie started to use a washcloth that she stored to cover her face from the odor.

"By choice. The ladies will be swarming all over me."

"They are going to be repelled, more or less." Danny's sense went off and he turned, missing the swarm that just flew by before the crowd chanted Paulina's name but she ignored them as she hummed.

"So many boys, but only one you." She opened her locker to the number of Danny Phantom pics, only getting pulled out of it when something bit her, a ghost that phased into her skin. "Owh! Hey, you blemished my flawless skin." She closed the locker and headed out as the party headed down the halls before stopping as Tucker paused in fear before Danny asked.

"Tucker?" He waved his hand over his friend's face to no reaction as he questioned. "Hello. What's wrong with him?"

"This happens every time he gets near the nurses office." Sam answered as Tucker stammered.

"Nu..nu..nu..nu..nurse!" Sam was quick as she replied.

"This is a bad one. In a case like this, it's best not to let him see." She pulled out a paper bag and stuffed it over Tucker's head, letting him grip her shoulders as she took the lead in convincing him to follow. "Come on Tuck, find a happy place."

"Right, I'm not passing a nurse's office, I'm passing a... modeling agency." They walked right through before getting a safe distance away before he pulled off the bag and breathed. "Thanks Sam."

"You're afraid of the nurse's office?" Danny asked as Tucker went off.

"Yes, nurse's offices, doctor's offices, hospitals. Any place with sharp pointy sticky things, and the smell of sick people."

"A phobia, then?" Cedric hummed as the party turned to him. "Could it be... Nosocomephobia or Trypanophobia?" The party blinked at him before he answered again. "Have none of you ever actually heard about the special names for phobias, the fear of hospitals or needles?" All shook as Cedric sighed. "Well, that is a terrible scent." Sam finally sniffed the air before she groaned in disgust, the others smelling with various reactions.

"Speaking of sick smells, what is that? Gym socks and snickerdoodles?"

"Foley, by Tucker Foley." Danny, Valerie, and Tucker answered with Tucker beaming while Danny and Valerie looked done with it as Danny added.

"It's Tucker's cologne." The ghost sense went off as they spied Paulina in the distance, but looking more sickly and green than before. "Uhh, is Paulina glowing?"

"Uh, I know she's supposed to have flawless skin, but this is ridiculous." Sam answered before Paulina groaned to the ghostly glow.

"Auh, I feel terrible, and disfigured." She moaned as she remarked. "Stupid bug bite!"

"Bug bite?" One of the ghost bugs flew by before it found Jazz's neck, Kwan and Star laughing at it before Kwan got bit in the same place and Star got bit on the butt as suddenly, the hall was filled with ghost bugs as Valerie exclaimed.

"What's going on, what is this!?"

"I don't know, but we're going ghost!" Topaz, Talia, and Danny rushed to Danny's suggestion as Valerie, Cedric, Sam, and Tucker covered them as Danny Phantom, Topaz McLain, and Talia Ramalia went to work clearing out the bugs with Thermoses before returning to the party as they mused.

"Well, I think that's all of them." A bug found Sam, however, as she yelped and smacked her arm to Topaz's questioning. "How did we..."

"Ahhhh!"

"Or more." Danny answered as he went after Dash who just phased through the door and he asked. "Hey, Dash, uh, not that I care, but are you okay?" He walked up to the stall where Dash was in as the football player moaned.

"I don't feel so good."

"Yeah, this always happens on goulash day." Except goulash didn't just fire ecto beams from the stall as Danny grimaced to what just happened, a ghostly aura is one thing, powers were another as he laid on the tile in dodging. "Although, I've never seen goulash do that." The door busted to pieces as Dash, now a green monster of himself stomped out with a growl.

"GET AWAY!" The monster hurled Danny into an open stall and readied to rip him to pieces, if Danny had turned Phantom once more and tackled the beast from the ceiling and behind, slamming him into the wall before lifting him up as he shouted. "I wish I could say I didn't want to do this, but..." The transformation reverted back and Danny kept Dash from falling as he groaned with an unconscious Dash on his shoulder. "Ugh, and just one cheap shot away from a semester full of payback." Soon, it was a full-blown issue as it came under the belief that every student in Casper High had fallen sick with some unknown disease, completely in quarantine...

It was nice that the parents could mobilize to find out the truth, but nothing could be done as Maddie pleaded. "Why can't we see our children, Mr. Fuluka? This is outrageous, they're sick. They need us."

"Now, I understand your concern folks, but I have been instructed not to disseminate any information at this time."

"But you're a teacher. It's your job to disseminate information!" Jack bawled as he ranted.

"Poor Jazz. She's always been my favorite." He blew his nose before handing the used handkerchief to Danny, who was 'healthy' from the disease. "Here you go Danny, don't lose this. It was your grandfather's." Danny gave a disgusted sound as he heard Tucker call to him in a whisper.

"Hey Danny, check this out." Danny walked over with stashing the handkerchief in a baggy, to wash later as he asked.

"What's up?" Tucker opened his palm to another bug as he answered.

"I got another one."

"Tucker, get rid of that thing!"

"No no, look, it won't bite me or phase through my skin or anything." Danny was confused as to that meaning as he asked.

"That's weird, I figured my ghost powers were protecting me. What's protecting you?" The bug flew off to join the mess before both boys pointed to each other.

"'Foley, by Tucker Foley'." Danny beamed as he continued.

"Wow. Its not just repelling, it's a repellent." He stopped before he noticed that Valerie and Cedric weren't with them as he attempted to ask. "Where is..."

"In quarantine..." Danny turned to Talia and Topaz joining them as Talia spoke. "Cedric was trying to figure out where the bugs were coming from, but it phased into him and now, he is displaying signs of active electricity."

"More so than Valerie, she was an utter hothead before they got her in." Topaz glanced to Damian worrying deeply at the mere notion of a disease. "I'm sorry for her dad, it's not everyday that someone's hair turns into fire." She patted her head as she finished. "Well, anyone who doesn't know how to control it." The Gym doors opened and Topaz glared at the lanky, pale guy that stepped out as he introduced himself.

"Hello people. I'm Dr. Bert Rand."

"Are you from the government's disease control center?"

"Sure, lets go with that." The four narrowed their brows to the sound of it as Bert Rand continued. "I can assure you that your children are in good hands, and will be transferred to the creepy hospital on the edge of town." Only one had heard of that place and the rock star knew it had seen better days... since her former time as Maddie pressed.

"Under quarantine?"

"Sure, let's go with that too." Jack cut in as he exclaimed to the man.

"Oh yeah? And just why should we trust you?"

"Because I'm with the government and can audit your taxes if you don't."

"We trust you." The threat of taxes was too strong for any adult as Danny voiced his disapproval.

"Well, I don't trust him. Sam, Jazz, Valerie, and Cedric are in that hospital, and we've got to find out what's going on."

"Have a good time." Tucker made to walk away as Danny exclaimed with the girls at his side.

"Tucker, I said we."

"You also said hospital." Danny dismissed the idea of it being tough as he spoke.

"I go invisible, I go ghost, I'll be in and out in no time. Just watch." They headed up to the hospital, thanks to Topaz's knowledge of the place, as three letters fell from the sign, spelling 'No Mercy Hospital' as Danny soared to get in before he was electrocuted and flew backwards before Topaz caught him as Talia exclaimed.

"A ghost shield!? Now, the matter has grown deeply." Tucker voiced for them to just go.

"Well, let's just come back during visiting hours, or perhaps, not at all."

"We can't do that, Tucker." Danny answered as he straightened up and spoke. "The fact the hospital has a ghost shield around it makes it even more suspicious." He turned as he willed the rings to form. "If I can't get in as a ghost..." He reverted back as Topaz joined him. "...I'll have to get in like a kid." They headed for the front entrance guarded by guards that seemed a bit more ghostly than expected and seemed... like they were waiting for something. "Okay, just hang out here and wait for me, Tucker and Talia. You got my mom's Fenton utility weapon, just in case?" Tucker pulled out a lipstick before he mused.

"It's a lipstick and an ecto blaster. Because I'm worth it."

"Okay then." He jumped into Tucker's arms to play the part while Topaz was leaning on Talia as he finished. "Let's make this good." He closed his eyes with Tucker dashing forward with the other two behind, Topaz doing excellent with puffing out black smoke from her jaw, as she learned how to muster her own fire core to blast fire from the mouth under the tutelage of Cedric as the guards stopped them with a warning.

"This area's restricted, no admittance."

"But our friends are sick, they need to be in the hospital. Them, not me." Talia groaned at how dumb Tucker was being about this before Bert Rand spoke up with opening the doors to the scene.

"It's alright guards, stand down." He stepped forward as he inquired. "Has this young man and woman been exhibiting any ghost-like symptoms?" Danny peered before turning invisible and visible and Topaz's hair burst into flames before reverting back as Danny groaned with Bert Rand taking the handed-off boy while one of the guards brought forward a wheel chair for Topaz to topple into as the doctor exclaimed. "Oh no! You poor, sick human child, it's worse than I thought." A thumbs-up was given to someone in the high window before the duo was pulled into the hospital as Tucker tried to make small talk.

"So, what's the skizzle, fizzles?" He got his ear pulled by Talia as they distanced themselves from the hospital, intent on waiting for either Danny or Topaz to exclaim for backup. Both were carted in as both looked about to the mass of students suffering from this ghost plague, both exchanging glances as the usual powers were on display before Bert Rand exclaimed to a running band member being intangible.

"Now now, son, must try to control those powers." With that, he headed to return the kid to his room, but that left both of the Demis to their work as Topaz spoke.

"Yeah, this place has seen better days, but that doc... there's something about him that is VERY familiar."

"I get what you mean, I swear I have heard his voice once before." The y continued on before they encountered Kwan as he exclaimed.

"Fenton, Lain, you're in here too?" Another Kwan appeared in the other seat as both backed up as Kwan just doubled. "4... 6... 8... who do we appreciate? Us, us." The eight paused before screaming. "Run, run for our lives!" They separated as Danny groaned.

"Are you kidding, eight Kwans!? I can only get three of me."

"Two Topazes here." Both stopped as Jazz spoke up.

"Hello, nurse? I'm feeling a little lightheaded. Literally!"

"Jazz?" The pair walked up to a jaw before the green ectoplasm inside turned into Jazz's head as both drew back before Topaz spoke.

"Wow, I know that we joked about you being a head case, but this is more extreme than before."

"She can't form her whole body somehow, the ghost powers are new to all of them, we need to find..." Sam's scream drew their attention as Danny spoke, Jazz closing her eyes to give them space. "I'm going ghost!" He transformed as Topaz joined.

"Spotlight!" Topaz Lain turned into Topaz McLain as she mused. "Whoa, a battle cry, just what the pop star ordered." Both booked it to where the scream was heard, their presence given away by Paulina as both appeared to Danny appearing with Topaz with him.

"Somebody need some help?" He glanced behind him as he exclaimed. "PAULINA! Uh, it is Paulina, right?"

"You came for me!" Sam pulled the curtain aside as she growled.

"He didn't come for you, he came for me."

"Phrasing, Miss." Danny answered as he spoke again. "Can you excuse us for one minute?" Neither gave her a answer as both flew over and pulled the curtain over before Topaz spoke.

"Sam, are you alright? We heard a scream."

"Yeah, that was me. You'd scream too if you were stuck in a sleepover with her."

"Actually, I kinda doubt that, unless it was severely in pink, then Topaz would scream too."

"Darn straight."

"Yoo hoo, ghost boy." Danny turned as Sam floated up, Topaz gasping before flying after her as Paulina continued. "Are you done talking to the unpopular girl yet?" Topaz brought her down as Danny answered.

"Uh, be right there." He flew off and Topaz kept Sam grounded for the most part as Paulina puffed out a blue mist, similar to Danny's, but not... right as Paulina groaned.

"Ooh, what is this?"

"It's called a ghost sense." Danny willed his as he explained. "See, it lets you know a ghost is near."

"Like you." Paulina swooned before Danny cut straight to the chase.

"That bug bite gave you ghost powers. Didn't anybody explain anything to you?"

"No, they just brought me in here, took a few tests, and stuck me in the same room as Suzie-Nobody over there and Un-popular Hot Sauce further back." Danny's eyes widened as he glanced down to Valerie glancing back, her hair on fire before she spritz with water and went back, looking more tired than she should have. Sam didn't take it laying down as she exclaimed.

"For the record, I can hear everything you're saying."

"McLain?"

"She's getting into bed and, hopefully, stays there, I'll also get the fire hair cooling down, just get over here, flying and blazing hair are more dangerous than a ghost sense." Danny nodded as he answered.

"Hold that thought." He soared over as Sam groaned in the bed, Danny tying her down for the most part.

"As much as I hate to say it, she's right about one thing. I don't know what they're doing at this hospital, nobody's talking to us, nobody's helping us, Cedric didn't even say anything yet and we haven't found him yet." That moment was ruined when Bert Rand wheeled in a tank and let loose sleeping gas as he mused behind a medical mask.

"Oh, poor little teen, you're tired aren't you?" Paulina fell asleep as Bert Rand walked further in, the gas slipping under the curtain as Sam and Valerie fell to the same gas.

"So... sleepy."

"No... I..." Both dropped as Danny exclaimed.

"Sam? Paulina? Valerie?" Danny started to sway as Topaz did the same before she fell to the ground, reverting back as Danny tried to hold out. "Getting tired. Gas is affecting me?" The curtain was pulled away as Bert Rand exclaimed.

"Of course child, that's the point." Danny turned as Bert Rand with also reverting to a short, familiar-looking man from Spirit Week. "You didn't think this was an actual hospital, did you?"

"You're Penelope Spectra's assistant, Bertrand." He facepalmed as he phased the words, realizing their meaning. "Bert Rand, Bertrand. How did I miss that?" He fell to the ground weak as Bertrand spoke to the collapsing youth.

"Why don't you mull that over during your last two seconds of consciousness?"

"Tucker's right, hospitals stink." He fell asleep as both him and Topaz were hauled away to who knows where...

Danny stirred once more as he groaned. "Uh ah, where am I?" He gasped as he was bound down to a stretcher before struggling to escape as Bertrand commented.

"Save it kid! Those restraints are ghost proof, you're in for the duration, with the young lady." He flew off as Danny exclaimed, stirring Topaz up from the slumber.

"Somebody tell me what's happening here!" The overhead lights came on and Danny blinked them away to focus on the shadowy figure that float in the air.

"Allow me, you know how we therapists love to talk it all out."

"Spectra?" Outside, Tucker took in the sight as the guards were now floating as he listed it off.

"Spooky hospital, ghosts guarding the joint, still no sign that Danny's in any real danger yet." Talia narrowed her brow as Danny's voice screamed.

"LET ME GO!"

"Still technically not a cry for help."

"HEEEEEEEELP!"

"Well not a cry for me."

"TUCKEEEEEEER!"

"Ah dang." Talia chuckled as she put on a mask as Tucker primed himself with Foley and the lipstick before approaching the guards, confusion on their faces before he sprayed himself, the guards coughing up a storm as Tucker exclaimed. "Oh please, you guys are ghosts. Do you have any idea what you smell like?" He blasts the guards with some kickback as Talia had 'borrowed' the whip weapon of Bullet's form Valerie and tossed one of the guards to the side as Tucker exclaimed ot the hospital. "Don't worry, Danny, the cavalry's coming! Whether he wants to or not."

"Bravery, Foley, we have bravery." They headed in with medical attire on before Sam's voice spoke up.

"Tucker, is that you?"

"Sam, is that you? Where are you?"

"Up here." Both looked up as Tucker spoke.

"Sam?" He let out a short laugh as he spoke. "And you call me an air head."

"You know, you should really stop and consider all the vile things I could do to you from up here."

"If you can figure out how to do so, if steel-toes are not bringing you down, then clearly, there is little we can do." Talia answered as Tucker still hit the wall to afraid getting hit.

"I think Danny's really in trouble, have you seen him?"

"A while ago with Topaz, but I fell asleep and when I woke up, they were gone. There's something evil happening here."

"It's a hospital Sam. There's always something evil happening here." Tucker answered as both discarded the disguise into the laundry cart as Tucker spoke. "We have to find Danny."

"Unfortunately, I think 'we' means 'you'. I'm pretty useless and there are cameras and guards everywhere."

"Not in there." Tucker pointed to a vent that Sam had gotten close to as he spoke. "Push that vent open." The action was pull as Sam *pulled* the vent cover off and Tucker quickly fashioned a pair of lassos to pull Sam down to the ground before Talia helped her down as well, the IV stand grounding her somehow as Tucker took to climbing into the vent and replying to the pair of them. "If I'm not back in five minutes, just... float there, okay?" He crawled in as Talia just sighed as she spoke.

"Of all of the latest things, it just had to be a place where healing can be both good and bad." Sam asked as she donned a worried look.

"Bad experience?"

"The dead whisper in the halls of some of the more... attuned locations, I myself have never had an issue with them, but when you travel the world like I once did, you can feel the regret of those lost in the halls." Sam nodded as Danny exclaimed to Spectra, hoping Topaz would get up and help him somehow.

"What do you want?"

"What everybody wants, Danny, and for me, that means being beautiful." She pushed Danny to a cabinet as she flew over with hands on the handles as she spoke. "That's why I'm assembling this!" She opened it to what could have been a body suit that almost matched her own appearance as the school therapist. "A brand new me, fashioned by only the best teen genetics."

"So, the ghost bugs, the virus?"

"All part of my plan, I need to get the children away from the adults all in one place." She pressed a button on the wall and it opened to what must have been some DNA chamber as she was pleased. "So, I could siphon away the best qualities of each of them, Jazz's brains, Dash's muscles, Paulina's nearly flawless skin..." Danny paused as he inquired.

"Nearly flawless?"

"She has a mole. Isn't it obvious?"

"Nope." Danny answered as Spectra just continued.

"I had to treat them all with my little ghost virus to get them all in one place."

"And the ghost powers?"

"A side effect." She flew over as she continued. "At some point, the powers will be too much and they'll all burn out, into little withered husks. Won't that make a great class photo?" Danny grimaced as the stretcher was moved into place as Tucker just repeated to himself in the vent, on his way to Danny and Topaz.

"Okay, I'm not in a spooky air vent in a hospital. I'm in an air vent in a totally not spooky modeling agency." Danny struggled as he exclaimed.

"You'll never get away with this, Spectra."

"Ooh, but I already have and you, Danny, you're the grand prize, I need your genes to lock this perfect body together and stabilize it so my ghost form never burns out and never grows old. How helpful are you?" She spun him around and shoved him into the DNA Machine as he grimaced, kicking himself with putting the handkerchief in the baggie.

"Oh man, if only I had some break right about now." Suddenly, a surge lanced across the whole place, surprising all as Spectra exclaimed.

"What, what is happening, who could..."

"SPectRA..." Both flinched before glancing to the doors as a teal glow surged from the passage before they were ripped to the sides as a construct of some ectoplasmic electricity surged in, blue lens peering back to Spectra's red from the teal-blue surge. "TimE TO cheCK Out..."

"What, what are you and how are you doing this!?"

"SimPLE..." The construct raised a hand before slamming the ground, the whole lab shaking as Spectra snatched her body suit with an interest of preserving it. "I KEEp the CuRRenT FLowIng...!" She graimced as she exclaimed.

"This body will be on a time limit, but I need to get out of it, now." She surged into the body, cracks forming across it before she exclaimed form it. "You haven't won yet, I will be back..." She took off as the creature pulled Danny out and spoke.

"DaNNy..." Danny grimaced as the thing tried to keep him free, but couldn't. "LoSING... FoCUs..." The thing toppled back as it shrink in, Danny gasping as it was a familiar face.

"Cedric!" A vent fell and Tucker jumped out as he exclaimed.

"Hello, models! I mean, Danny you're OK!"

"Tucker! you broke into the hospital!" He paused as he knew what that meant. "Wait, you broke into a hospital?"

"Please stop saying hospital, because I will run and leave you here to perish." He pulled off the lipstick and fired at the restraints as Danny went ghost before he blew it out. "Plasma Peach, its great for kissing this place goodbye!"

"Not yet, Cedric is out cold while Topaz is lock down as much as I was."

"No problem." Danny went to work getting Topaz out of the bindings while Tucker just sprayed 'Foley' on Cedric, both watching the bug left him before Cedric got up and glared.

"Give me that, I don't want to smell like mildew and tartar sauce." He glanced to it before he exclaimed. "A ghost-antibiotic, excellent, we can use this through the vents to drive the bugs out and suck them all up."

"Yeah, but Spectra will try this again, she didn't get the perfect body she wanted."

"Excuse me, we can't all be perfect." Cedric groggily got up while Topaz was freed as Danny spoke.

"There, now we..." Before Danny could continue, Topaz blinked before pulling Danny into a kiss, her color returning and her hair blazing as she spoke with golden amber eyes.

"That's more like it... also, YES!" Topaz cheered as Tucker exclaiemd to the sudden action.

"What jsut happened!?"

Topaz's obsession has lessen, that is true, but it also has been powered up, if she shares a kiss with someone who reciprocates her love and affection, the power up is five times more powerful than a hundred chants.

"...I have just entered a love triangle and I am okay with that..." Danny stammered before Cedric spoke up.

"Let's find Bertrand and Spectra and put them out of business." Danny took Tucker and Topaz took Cedric before they went searching as they found the short man with Dash as the jock moaned.

"Ahh man, when she sings 'Wind Beneath My Wing', I just go to pieces."

"What's up, Doc?" Bertrand glanced to find them as he exclaimed.

"You!" Danny blasted him as Bertrand growled before he transformed and the four glanced up to the towering orderly as Topaz remarked.

"The orderly is new..." Dash booked it away in terror as the brute formed a giant scalpel in hand as Tucker threatened him.

"Don't move! I mean it, this thing both moisturizes and repairs damage from the wind and sun." Bertrand just knocked it out of hand as Paulina plucked it up to apply as Topaz exclaimed.

"Then try some hot spice!" She inhaled and blew, Bertrand stumbling back to the flames as Danny got a boot to the head as Talia also arrived with Bertrand rushing to pin Tucker ot the floor as he spoke.

"Okay, this is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me." The scalpel turned into a injection as Tucker exclaimed.

"How about neither of us get hurt, why isn't that an option?" Cedric flew over with a flying kick and knocked Bertrand off, reverting him back as Topaz caught the tossed Thermos and shouted.

"No amateurs in the hospital, your bedside manners stank anyway." She blasted as Bertrand wailed to getting caught, just as Spectra returned.

"Very Impressive, kids, but a bit late, I'm afraid."

"I am in a modeling agency." Tucker exclaimed to the wondrous body before him as Spectra spoke.

"It's nice, right? Smart, beautiful, deadly." She started to create a ecto-grab before a binding of ecto-line restrained her as Talia held the capture device as Spectra howled. "How is this possible, are you working with Walker!?"

"Believe it or not, no, he wanted me as public enemy around here." Danny landed as the others started to get some space going among the other residents as Cedric directed Tucker to get to the main AC control circuit and to administer 'Foley' to it. "No, we just wanted to clean up this mess before people started to question the whole thing.

"Come on, Pene, get real about this whole beauty thing." Topaz landed as she spoke to the fragment model. "Richard is a womanizer and you are FAR better than him, so why are you continuing to sloop to his level?" Penelope Spectra made to remark before the statement came back before she answered.

"Wait, what did you say?" She didn't last long as she was consumed by the Thermos by Danny as Tucker purged the opstipal of its insects and Danny catching them before he asked Topaz.

"What was that all about?"

"Oh, Spectra is one of my old friends, she told me and Kitty everything, her obsession is based on a bad story of her getting rejected by some flirt and trying her hardest to be the most beautiful, but it didn't last as some of the products she used were destroying her mind and before long, she broke down..." She smelled the air and groaned. "Fish and radishes, the worst..." Tucker returned as he exclaimed in glee.

"Yeah, how do you like that? My first trip to the hospital and I'm the only one who didn't get hurt." That was cut short as Sam dropped on him and he yelped as his feet went at a weird angle. "Ow."

"Can I get my boot back now?" Danny nodded as he handed the boot back before Topaz spoke.

"Also, Manson, you... may hate me for this." Before Sam's eyes, she watched Topaz kiss Danny on the lips and beamed as she just licked her lips with a dazed Danny. "He is a REALLY good kisser."

"I... I... Shoot, a love triangle..." They headed out as Sam got a new rival in love for Danny while everyone got a happy end out of it...

Well, except for Tucker, who had to get a cast on his foot as Jack thanked him for the aid he had rendered, all in the hospital. "Tucker, just wanted to thank you for helping to get our Jazz out of that awful hospital, although I have to agree with the authorities, that ghost plot thing seem pretty far fetched, huh baby?" Maddie chuckled as well as she mused as well, they couldn't say much in the cameras.

"Yeah, everybody know humans can't have ghost powers." She waved goodbye to the party as Jack and her left. "Bye, Danny." They came over as Sam apologized for the accident.

"I'm so sorry about your leg, really, I am."

"I told you hospitals reck."

"Oh, come on, Tuck." Danny voiced as he continued, no one really paid any attention to a group of teens. "We beat Spectra, and you should be fine in eight to ten weeks, it could be worse." Sadly, Danny jinxed Tucker as a Nurse wheeled in a elderly man as she spoke.

"Here's your new roommate, Mister Foley."

"Hey there, my name's Carl. No need to put me in bed, sweetie, just wheel me up to the whippersnapper so I can spent the next two weeks jabbering on about what it was like when I was his age." Danny grimaced as he spoke with a smile.

"And now it's worse."

"Wow, look at the time." She waved goodbye with Talia, Topaz, Cedric, and Danny as Jazz was at home recovering from a short daze and Valerie was getting a few good showers to wash off the scent of 'Fish and radishes' off at her father's request as Tucker stammered.

"What? Wait."

"You see that television, we didn't have televisions, we had radios."

"Oh, come on."

"And that clicker, we didn't have clickers, we had to use a device called a knob. Have you tried to climb out the window, we didn't have windows in my days."

"Guys!" The party just smiled as they left the hospital with Danny answering, repeating the same words that Tucker used.

"Still technically not a cry for help."

"Help!" They headed off as Cedric actually had stuff he wanted to say.

"Okay, Spectra and Bertrand will be back, but they will be either on a short lease or under ecto-protection as I want to make sure that they, in the very least, behave themselves."

Danny shrugged as they continued on the walk, Topaz and Sam flanking him as he spoke. "Yeah, that makes sense, but what was with the 'static show' you did at the hospital?" Cedric had explained that he was able to manifest as a entity without legs, just an upper torso and a large amount of power.
