((Author's Note: Hello everyone, and once again I'm sorry for the hiatus... As much as I'd like to say it was my OCD's fault again, I can't. This time it was my own procrastination, as well as working on some other things. Anyway I hope its doesn't happen again, and I just want to reiterate I WILL finish this story.
Anyway, Enjoy the chapter.))

Chapter 8c: Attack of the Killer Garage Sale
As the shaving blade prepared to strike Danny after it had somehow forced him on his back on the ground, Danny shouted, "Going ghost!" As he shouted that, Danny once again transformed into his ghost form. As the blade drew closer, Danny made his legs turn into the ghost tail form and escaped the cord that had him caught, causing the blade to barely miss him and hit the sidewalk in which he lay just a moment ago, cutting a bit of its cord as it did so.
"Okay, its a hair cut," shouted Danny to the blade, as he had his legs reappear, "Not a head cut!" With that Danny charged towards the blade, with the blade turning around soon after and charging at Danny, changing itself, as it did so, back to a razor. As Danny reached the razor, he sent a downwards punch at it, which sent the razor down to the ground causing it to bounce a few times on the street. As Danny watched it lay on the street, he saw it was starting to look dented but even that didn't seem to stop it. For as soon as a second later, it turned around and transformed into a giant pair of scissors, and once again headed for Danny. Danny, of course, dodged the scissors as it passed by, by separating his upper and lower torso by a way similar to his ghost tail form. As the cord itself flew by, Danny reconnected his two halves and grabbed onto the cord, which caused him to be dragged along by the scissors. As Danny and the scissors, flew towards a building, they both passed through the first wall absolutely fine, while for some reason, as they passed through the other side they broke a window.
Finally as both the scissors and Danny were out of the building, Danny finally was able to get a good grip on the cord and stop the scissors in there tracks. He then began to swing the scissors around, eventually releasing it when he couldn't spin it anymore causing the scissors to fly away. As Danny watched the scissors be thrown far away, he heard a car approaching below and as he looked down, he saw both his scouter and the sweats in the path of the car. Quickly flying down below, Danny grabbed both the sweats and his scouter just before the car would have run over them. As Danny put the scouter down gently on the ground, he looked over the sweats quickly to make sure there was no damage to them. As he looked them over, he looked down at the ground to see the bit of cord the scissors, when it had been a blade, had cut off. "I know I should be concerned," said Danny, changing back to normal and picking up his scouter, "And I will be. Right after the party." With that Danny sped away back to his house.
As Danny was speeding back home, Danielle, who, was busy playing her computer game noticed the time. "Hmm," said Danielle, as she read the clock in the corner of her screen, "Shoot, I need to get over to Sam's, otherwise I'll be late." Danielle then quickly saved her game, and exited the program. As she was preparing to shutdown her computer though, she heard the front door open and close, and someone heading up the stairs. As she clicked shutdown, Danny opened the door to their room.
"Hey sis," said Danny, as he entered with the sweats in his arms, "Just have to change real quick before I head over to the party."
Sighing, Danielle just stood up and turned to face her brother. "You know you still have time to change your mind about going to that dumb party," said Danielle, as she folded her arms, "Sam, Tucker, and I would forgive you for being a jerk to us."
At this, a perplexed Danny turned to face Danielle. "Jerk," said Danny, confused, "What are talking about Dani? I haven't been a jerk at all. Did you get hit on the head or something?"
Danielle just looked shockingly at Danny, wondering if he really did think he wasn't being a jerk or if he was trying to say a joke. "Are you kidding," said Danielle, trying to keep her tone low, "You've been a jerk to us ever since you got that stupid invitation. You've been doing things like completely ignoring us when we speak, or just ditching us to hang with the popular kids. You've been a total jerk."
At this Danny began to glare at Danielle, not liking at all what she was saying. "Okay," said Danny, getting a little annoyed, "Stop lying, Danielle. I am not being a jerk. Right now, your the one being a jerk calling me a jerk. Sheesh."
Starting to lose her cool now, Danielle's eyes flashed green briefly, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Me? Being the jerk," said Danielle, as she stepped a little towards Danny, "Open your eyes, Danny. Your the one being the jerk. Just because you think your the oldest between us doesn't mean that gives you the right to think your not being a jerk right now."
"Think I'm the oldest," Danny said, as he also took a step forward, "I AM the oldest between us Dani, and you know it. Also my eyes are open, and the only jerk I see right now is you at the moment."
"We certainly do not know who the oldest between us is," said Danielle, as her voice started to rise, "And I am certain your the only jerk around here at this time!"
"Oh, I most certainly do know that I am the oldest," said Danny, as his voice also rose, "Just stop lying Dani, and admit the truth, your the one acting like the jerk. Is this because I'm technically more powerful then you in our ghost forms."
"What," yelled Danielle, as her eyes opened wide at that last comment, "Screw you, Danny. You are not more powerful then me. And you are the JERK!" As soon as Danielle yelled jerk, she changed into her ghost form. "I'm heading to Sam's now," said Danielle, as she glared angrily at her brother, "Hope that party stinks." With that Danielle flew threw the wall out of the house, heading towards Sam's house. As for Danny, he just glared at where Danielle was last before starting to get changed into the sweats a minute later.
As Danielle was flying towards Sam's house, she muttered to herself. "Stupid Danny," Danielle muttered, "He is certainly not more powerful then me. Were probably equally powerful, if I'm not slightly ahead. Also he SO does not know if he's older then me or not."
As Danielle saw Sam's house approaching, she sighed. "Okay," Danielle said, quietly, "Calm down. Let's not have my stupid brother ruin the mega movie night with Sam and Tucker. I wonder if Tucker made it yet, I bet he's freaking out that Sam is rich." As Danielle reached Sam's house, she landed right in front of Sam's front door. As she knocked, she changed back to her normal self, waiting for Sam to open the door to let her in.
As Danielle waited, she could hear Sam as she was coming to the door. "Tucker," Sam said, a little annoyed at all the questions Tucker had been asking her, "Once Danielle gets here are we watching the movies or not?" As Sam finished her question, she reached the front door and opened it. "Hey Dani," said Sam, as she saw Danielle, "Glad you made it, Tucker is driving me crazy with all these questions."
Smiling as she stepped into the house, Danielle chuckled a bit. "Had a feeling he would be shocked," said Danielle, as she looked at both Sam and Tucker, who was standing by the basement doorway.
"Had a feeling," Tucker said, tilting his head a tad as he tried to figure out what Danielle was implying, "Wait, you knew Dani. How do you know already? Why didn't you tell me?"
As Sam and Danielle looked each other, they both chuckled, as they began making their way back down to the basement. "I already knew Tucker," said Danielle, as she walked between Sam and Tucker down the stairs, "Because when you and Danny are hanging together by yourselves, Sam and I are hanging with each other. As for why I never said anything, Sam asked me not to. Though honestly I don't see what the big deal really is, if she's rich or not."
Tucker just looked at Sam and Danielle shocked, he never would have guess that Sam was rich and Danielle already knew. "So," Tucker said, as he sat down in a chair in the basement, "Could you buy a plane? Yacht?"
"Yep and yep," said Sam, as she walked over to the counter that already had some pizzas on it.
"How about a bowling alley," said Tucker, trying to think of something odd.
"Nope," said Sam, as she picked up a remote that was on the counter and pressed a button on it.
As soon as she pressed it, the wall that held the entertainment center lifted up revealing a 4 lane bowling alley behind it. "There's no place to put a second one," said Sam, as Tucker looked behind him. As she watched Tucker be amazed at learning all this, Danielle let out a small giggle, it was so funny to see how shocked Tucker was. Before Sam could close the wall, a elderly woman in a electric scouter, drove up to one of the lanes and threw her bowling ball, getting a easy strike.
"Yippee," said the woman, "Bobbi's hot today," As the woman finished speaking the wall came back down hiding the bowling alley once again behind the entertainment center.
"That's weird," said Tucker, as he sniffed the air,"You don't smell stink-en rich."
"Will you stop it, Tucker," said Sam, as she left the counter and sat in a chair herself, "That's why I didn't tell you or Danny. Just Danielle."
"But I just don't get it," said Tucker, "With all this money, why do you hang out with Danny, Danielle, and me. If you flashed a little bit of this bling-bling, you'd be miss popularity."
"I don't need popularity, Tucker," said Sam, "Especially if I have to buy it."
"You should tell that to Danny," said Tucker, "Can you believe people actually spent good money on all that old junk from his parents shed."
"Good luck getting him to listen," muttered Danielle, as she frowned for brief moment, but quickly shook her head. She was not going to have her brother ruin her having a good time tonight.
"Well, I did snag this really cool remote for three bucks," said Sam, as she took a remote out of her pocket, "And he did give Dash a pretty good deal on the computer stuff." Danielle just eyed Sam quickly, debating if she should let Sam know that she thought Danny didn't actually have permission to sell her parents old things. Deciding that she would just side with Sam, saying it was all Danny's fault if her parents found out, Danielle just folded her arms.
"So are we going to start the movie now," said Danielle, as she walked over to another chair in the room. Looking at Danielle as she spoke, Sam and Tucker nodded and turned there chairs around to face the TV screen.
Meanwhile back with Danny, he had quickly changed into the sweats for the party. As he was heading downstairs, Danny heard a brief scream coming from Jazz in the kitchen and the sound of the the refrigerator door slamming shut. Assuming that she probably screamed due to leftovers that were in fridge, Danny decided to ask his sister how he looked. As he entered the kitchen sliding on his feet, Danny asked, "Well, Is it the bomb? Is it fresh? Is it stupid? With an o o."
"Oh, its stupid," said Jazz, as she stared at her brother, "I'll give you that."
"You'll change your tune when you see me at the party," said Danny, as he stood up straight, "When are changing?"
"Not changing. Not going," Jazz said.
"What," said Danny, confused, "Your the only reason Dash invited me."
"Not caring," said Jazz, as she folded her arms. As soon as Jazz finished speaking though, the two Fentons heard there dad yell, "Code Red!"
"And not staying," Jazz finished, as she walked out of the room.
"Somebodies raided the junk shed while we were away," said Jack, as he ran up to Danny in a panic and grabbed him, "Danny! Did you see anything!?"
"Uh," Danny said, panicky a little inside, "Uh, no... N...Not a thing. But..." With that, Jack let Danny go, and Danny continued, "We should compare notes once I get home from the party. Bye." With that Danny ran out of the kitchen, and as he was exiting the front door, heard his dad yell, "Good plan son!"
Thirty minutes later, Danny arrived at Dash's house. "Okay, this is it," said Danny, as he approached the front door, "Don't screw it up. Look out world here comes Danny Fenton." Danny then reached out and hit the doorbell, and a moment later Dash was at the door, but in a different outfit then Danny was expecting. "Uh," said Danny, as he looked over Dash's outfit, which was a copy of his own usual outfit, "Dash?"
"Oh right," said Dash, as he leaned against the door frame, "Your not really part of my posse so you didn't get the email. You see after buying that computer stuff I didn't have enough money to buy the sweatsuit. So I changed the dress code to loser chic." Looking into the house, Danny looked on as he saw the party goers all dressed in outfits that Sam, Tucker, Danielle, and him would wear on a regular basis.
"Oh swell," said Danny, as he walked into the house, leaning forward a little bit, only to be approached by Paulina a second later.
"You likey," Paulina said, as she was showing off the copy of Sam's normal outfit she was wearing, "It's so horrible, its cool." Then as she looked over Danny's outfit, Paulina continued, "Yuck, Who dressed you. Your mom."
"Ah," Danny began, or tried to begin to say as Paulina walked off.
Meanwhile, Danielle, Sam, and Tucker were busy enjoying the kung fu movie that was on. Currently the movie was on the scene where one of the martial artists was kicking another one in the face, when all of a sudden the movie went back a few seconds.
"Tucker," said Sam, as it occurred, "If you want to watch a part over again could you please tell me first."
"Me," Tucker said, turning his attention to Sam, "Your the one messing with the remote." Turning her attention to her two friends when Tucker spoke up, Danielle noticed neither of them had the remote in their hands. In fact it was currently on the table between their chairs, but it soon wouldn't be there for long, as it started to float up a second later, as well as give off a weird glow.
"Um," Tucker said, as all three of them looked on at the floating remote, "I'm not schooled in the ways of the rich, but do all your remotes do that?"
"No," said Sam, as she looked at it a little worried, "Well my toaster does, but its from Denmark. That stuff Danny was selling must have been contaminated with ghost stuff." At this Danielle frowned, even when her currently annoying brother wasn't here, he still was a jerk.
"Don't worry guys," said Danielle, as she jumped to her feet, "I got this." Before Dani could transform though the remote sent out a beam to the popcorn maker and soda fountain causing both to malfunction, with the popcorn maker smashing open causing loads of popcorn to come shooting out, while the soda fountain shot streams of soda out, all of it heading in the three kids direction. Since Sam and Tucker were both sitting in their chairs still, they easily dodged the popcorn and soda by just ducking in their chairs, Dani wasn't as lucky. Dani was able to dodge most of the popcorn, but could unfortunately not dodge the soda, becoming drenched in the sticky sugary liquid, causing her to curse briefly. Before she could reclaim her composure, the remote drifted up towards the ceiling and after going intangible went through it and headed outside.
As Sam and Tucker also jumped to their feet, the three kids ran out of the room and up the stairs, exiting out the front door to the sight of a bunch of junk floating by. "Looks bad," said Tucker, as the three kids looked up at the scene, "Probably a job for the phantom twins."
"Probably," said Sam, as she looked between Danielle and Tucker, "And if I wasn't so mad at Danny. I would probably care that its going to interrupt his big jock party. Shall we?" At this, Sam ran off in the direction of Dash's house.
"I agree with her there," said Danielle, as she went intangible briefly to send the soda that was on her to the ground, "Come on, Tuck." With that Danielle ran off after Sam, with Tucker just behind her.
Back at the party, Danny was walking around trying to mingle with the other party goers. "Hi, I'm Danny," said Danny, to two people he walked up to, "Can you guys..." Before he could finish though, the two people walked off. Frowning as they walked off, Danny looked around and saw another person nearby. Turning around, Danny began, "Hey, aren't you in my fifth period?" As he was speaking to this person, they to walked off as well. Sighing, Danny walked over to the stairs and ascended to the second floor, as he reached the top step he looked back down over the party. "What am I doing," Danny said, quietly, "These people aren't my friends. Even if they all look like them. I wish Tucker, Sam, and Danielle were here. It's lonely being popular." As he finished talking to himself, he began to walk down the hallway on the second floor. As he was walking by the first door he came across, his ghost sense went off. "That's odd," said Danny, as he stared at the door next to him.
As Danny opened the door, he peeked his head in, only to be surprised at what he saw. What he saw was a floating computer monitor, with the screen mostly green with red eyes and mouth. It was slowly arranging a bunch of other devices underneath it making a robotic body. The whole time the monitor was laughing manically. As Danny quickly entered the room fully and closed the door, the robotic body was finished being built. "I am Technus! Master of all things mechanical," Technus cried out, "And once I complete my construction, you shall all succumb to my awesome .rrr.." As Technus was saying the word power, his body started to freak out as if there was bug in his machines programming. "What is wrong with me," Technus said, grabbing his head.
As Danny witnessed everything that was going on, he looked around the room and noticed on Dash's bed the upgrade disk he had given him. "The upgrade," Danny said, as he narrowed his sight on it, "Dash still hasn't upgraded the software." As Danny then turned his attention back to Technus and transformed into phantom, he continued, "Oh no, your not getting that upgrade disk and making yourself more powerful."
"What," Technus asked, briefly before he himself noticed the disk, "Another great idea! The heck with tutoring, you should be a teacher!" With that Danny jumped into air, and started to head for the disk, he couldn't let Technus get his hands on it. As for Technus, he made a toaster appear from his left shoulder shooting two things of ectoplasm out at Danny. As Danny made it to the bed, he grabbed the disk only to drop it again as the ectoplasm hit him head on. This, of course, flung him to another door in the room, and just before he would have hit it, he went intangible and passed right on thru, landing in a pile of teddy bears in the closet.
"Ghost toast," said Danny, as he sat up and observed all the things in the closet, "Geez, how many leather jackets does one guy need?" As Danny stood back up, he picked up one of the many teddy bears that were in the closet, and continued, "And these, I don't even want to know." With that, Danny flew back into the air and once again passed through the closet door. As he reentered Dash's bedroom he saw Technus making a break for the disk. Seeing the opportunity, Danny sped right at Technus, who just as he reached the bed was slammed into the bed by Danny, causing the bed also to break in two. As Danny rose back up into the air and turned around to look at Technus, Technus reached out behind him and did a powerful slap on Danny, flinging the ghost boy back to the wall.
As Danny hit the wall, Technus said, "You are a formidable opponent, but a little wet behind the ears. Perhaps you could use a little drying off!" With that a glass hatch opened up on Technus's chest, and a claw sprung out, heading towards Danny. Before Danny could react to the claw, it had reached Danny and grabbed him, pulling him back towards Technus into the hole it came from. As Danny entered the circular area, the glass hatch closed and it began to spin him, just like a dryer would to clothes.
"Ahh," Danny screamed, as he was spun and shot out a moment later to the opposite side of the room, hitting and destroying Dash's dresser as he hit it. After regaining himself, Danny looked at Technus and with determination in his eyes sped towards Technus. As Technus once again reached the disk, he picked it up, only to be grabbed by Danny a moment later sending him flying into the TV that Dash had in his room. As Technus laid slumped against the wall, Danny watched on to see if the fight was over. As Technus rubbed his head, he felt the disk was now in the entrance to the computer slot for it. As it entered soon after into the robotic body, it automatically started the updating procedure. A second later, when the update was complete, Technus grinned, with Danny glaring at him soon after. Going intangible, Danny charged at Technus sending both him and Technus outside.
As Danny was busy fighting Technus, Danielle and Sam were continuing to follow the junk, as Tucker had decided a little bit earlier to go to Fenton Works to grab the Fenton Thermos. As they arrived on the same street that the party was on, they noticed the junk going directly for Dash's house. A moment later, Tucker showed up and said, "Danielle! Sam! I've got the Fenton Thermos!" As soon as Tucker said that, he then had a thought."You know," Tucker continued, speaking more to Danielle, "You and Danny really need to start carrying this in some sort of lunchbox." Raising her left eye slightly at her techno friend for even thinking of such a weird thought at this moment in time, Danielle raised her hand in a attempt to reply, only to be interrupted by Sam.
"Everything is gravitating here to Dash's house," said Sam, as they watched the junk float by, "Looks like whatever fun Danny is having will be coming to an end soon."
Before Danielle or Tucker could reply to Sam's comment, all three kids heard the pained cries of Danny nearby. A moment later, Danny flew by them out of the nearby alley that was next to Dash's house and hit the wall of the house on the opposite side of the street hard. "Hi Sis. Hi Sam. Hi Tuck," said Danny, a little worn out, "Glad you could make it." When he finished speaking, Danny fell to the ground, his back leaning against the wall and his eyes closed. As Sam, Tucker, and Danielle were looking at Danny, a shadow appeared over them, and as they turned around to see what the shadow was, they saw it was Technus, who's robot form was now huge, about the same height as the buildings around them.
"I am Technus," shouted Technus, when he saw three new people in front him, "Master of Technology and Destroyer of Worlds! Behold my awesome electronic fury! Who's your Daddy!"
Before Danielle, Sam, and Tucker could do anything, Danny's eyes snapped back open and he took to the air once again, charging at Technus. All he did though was clang off of Technus's body, and do meaningless punches on his torso. Getting annoyed at Danny, Technus just raised his hand and swatted Danny down to the ground with a loud thud.
As Danielle, Sam, and Tucker looked down at Danny, he yelled, "Guys! Help!" With that, Danny launched himself back into the air to once again battle Technus, only to once again be swatted back down. As Danielle, Sam, and Tucker looked at each other briefly, they all turned there backs to Danny, still remembering how he recently had been treating them. "Come on guys," Danny said, before charging back up and getting swatted again, "Guys! Come on! Seriously!" As he finished speaking that time, Danny once again charged back up towards Technus, with Danielle, Sam, and Tucker looking at each other briefly and shaking there heads, continuing to face the opposite way of Danny. As Danny once again was at the head level of Technus, he dodged two swats from the crazy ghost scientist.
Turning his attention back to his friends and sister, Danny said, rather quickly, "I'm sorry that I chose hanging with the popular kids over you guys! It was stupid and shallow and I'll never do it again. Also Sis, I'm sorry for that fight we had. We don't know who is more powerful between us." As Danny was saying all this, he was dodging numerous attacks from Technus, luckily dodging all of them, except the last one, which caused him once again to hit the ground in front of Danielle, Sam, and Tucker with a thud. As Danielle, Sam, and Tucker looked at each other after Danny's apology, each of them began to grin and looked down at Danny as he hit the ground.
"How can we be of assistance," said Sam, as Tucker folded his arms and Danielle changed into her ghost form.
"He's running a old version of Portals XL," Danny said, as he stood back up.
"That piece of vaporware," said Sam, as she looked up at Technus briefly, "It's the worst software ever."
"If you and Danielle can keep him busy," Tucker said, to Danny interrupting Sam, "I think I know how you guys can beat him."
Looking at each other and nodding, the twins said, in unison, "That we can do." As they finished speaking, Danny and Danielle flew upwards so they could be on the same height as Technus's head.
"Get back you.. hunk of my Dad's junk," Danny said, as both him and Danielle reached the height that Technus's head was on. Looking at her brother as he said his quip, Danielle sighed, was that the best he could come up with to distract Technus. Fortunately for Danny, Technus took the bait.
"Could mere junk do this," Technus said, as he looked at the twins in anger, as well as look at Danielle in surprise, he hadn't been expecting to see another ghost kid. As Technus finished speaking, a robotic hand, which was carrying the remote from earlier, came out of the area where Danny had been spun around before. Before the twins could even wonder what Technus was going to do with the remote, he pointed it at the twins and pressed one of the buttons on it.
A moment later, Danny and Danielle's forms changed with Danny becoming a cowboy that would be seen on tv and Danielle becoming a Native American girl. Looking down at themselves first, they then looked at each other shocked, before they heard Technus press the button on the remote again. This time Danny became a blond female model, while Danielle became a redheaded male model. Before they even had time to see what they had changed into this time, Technus pressed the remote's button again. This time Danny became Spock from Star Trek, while Danielle became Uhura. Looking down at themselves briefly. Danny then had enough of this.
"Give me that," said Danny, as he snatched the remote away from Technus and pressed the button himself. This caused both him and Danielle to return to there normal forms, only for Technus to grab hold onto Danny with the now free claw that had held the remote. As Danny was slammed into the wall of a nearby building, Danielle was going to go help him when she herself was grabbed by another claw that Technus had emerge from the hole in his chest. Slamming her into the same wall as Danny.
"Tucker," said Danny, as he and Danielle struggled to try to free themselves from the claws, "Anytime."
"I'm trying, I'm trying," said Tucker, as he worked on his PDA.
"What's wrong," said Sam, concerned as to why Tucker was taking so long.
"I'm trying to bypass the program but I can't," said Tucker, as he explained, "He must have upgraded."
"What will we do," asked Sam, as the twins continued to try to break free from Technus's claws.
"We need the latest version of Portals XL," said Tucker, as he explained more, "But where are we going to get it at this time of night."
"Leave to me," Sam said, pulling out a cell phone and dialing a number.
"Guys," the twins said in unison, as Technus continued beating them against a wall. They really were not enjoying this one bit. A moment later, a woman in a red uniform and cap drove up on a scooter and stopped in front of Sam and Tucker.
"Here ya go Sam," said the woman, with a smile, handing a package to the goth girl.
"Thanks Tracy," said Sam, taking the package and paying the woman.
"Wow, you have access to the latest technology after hours," said Tucker, seriously impressed.
"Yep," the woman called Tracy replied back for Sam. Taking an opportunity to ask the woman, Tucker asked, "What else can you do after hours?" The woman wasn't having any of it though.
"Just say the voucher sir," said the woman, holding up a clipboard which Tucker signed. Now that Sam and Tucker had what they needed, it was time to get to work. But since both twins were busy being pounded into wall by the tech ghost, they needed something else to distract him.
"Um, excuse me," Sam said, walking up to the ghost, "I'm Sam. I don't believe I caught your name. Perhaps you should scream it really loud! Oh, and shout out your motive." Technus looking down at Sam as she spoke, took the bait.
"Hello," said Technus, as he then rose his hands into the air and shouted, "I am Technus! Manipulator of machines! Lord of all gadgetry! Wizard of integrated circuitry!"
"Go on," said Sam, as she bent down and connected two wires together while Technus was distracted, "Isn't there more you'd like to tell me?"
"Oh yes," Technus said, as he turned his attention back to Sam, "I am also Maste.r...of.. al.. all..." He said the last bit all garbled as his head tilted to the side and the screen started to frazzle.
"What's happening," Danielle said, as both her and Danny looked down to Tucker and Sam.
"Portals XL is happening," said Tucker, as the word 'Shutdown' flashed on his PDA screen, "Everybody knows that every new version of Portals XL has a gigantic hole in its security system."
"What no," shouted Technus, as his machine started to freak out.
"Yes," said Danny, as the claws grabbing the twins released them. Acting fast, the twins flew at the claws and grabbed the annoying appendages of the machine. "Process this," said Danny, clearly enjoying the punishment the two of them were about to dish out on Technus. Danielle, on her part, just sighed at her brother's pun. The two ghost children then shoved the end of the claws into a slot in Technus's machine causing the machine to spark and the screen that made up the face of the creation to display the word, 'Error' upon its surface.
"Wait that doesn't go there," screamed Technus, as his machine short circuited and leaned over.
"And for my final trick," Tucker said, pulling out the Fenton Thermos from one of his pockets and tossing it to Danielle, whom caught it with ease. After catching it, Danielle uncapped the thermos and pointed it at the mechanical monstrosity and sucked the technology ghost inside the machine.
"Noooo," shouted Technus, as he was sucked into the thermos. As Danielle capped the Thermos, the monstrosity fell apart landing as a huge pile in the street. The word 'Error' still flashing on the screen.
"Nice going Tuck," said Sam, as the group looked over the pile.
"Don't thank me," said Tucker, holding up the latest version of Portals XL, "Thank lousy software." Danielle chuckled at this.
The next day at school, the Twins, Sam, and Tucker were walking to there next class when Tucker asked, "So what's the damage from this weekend? Did you get in trouble for taking your folks stuff, Danny?"
"Not really," said Danny, reliefed, "I hauled it all back to the shed yesterday while they were out. Our dad is checking it all out for government surveillance devices.."
"He got really lucky if you ask me," muttered Danielle, as Sam smiled and patted her on the back in understanding.
"Sounds like you got off pretty easy," said Sam, then turning to Danny.
"Well, I do need to return those stupid sweats," said Danny, shrugging, "So I can refund everybody's money. And I still feel terrible about how I treated to you guys... And what I said to you sis... Of all people, I should know how it feels to be invisible..."
"So would you say you learned a lesson from all this," said Sam, as she and Dani leaned against a locker. Before Danny could answer though, he looked carefully at Dash who was just about to open his locker. As he did, several pink and purple teddy bears came out of the storage unit.
"Fenton," shouted Dash, pissed.
"Yep," said Danny, "That one person's trash is another person's revenge." The group laughed at this, though deep in Danielle, Sam, and Tucker's head, they thought, "He didn't learn the correct lesson..."
((Author's Note: Anyway hoped you enjoyed the chapter. Before I end this chapter fully I have one question for you all. Are you all okay if I made a OOC ghost for Danielle to fight? Now it wouldn't be for the next three chapters, I'll let you all know. it'd be for the first encounter with a certain wishing ghost. Let me know in a review. Anyway, if you liked the chapter consider leaving a review and I'll see you all next time.))
