Field Trip Ch. 1

Danny Fenton frowned. Why in the world would Mr. Lancer ask him AND Jazz to come to his office after school? He could understand his own reason for being here (he fell asleep in class again), but Jazz was little miss perfect.

Mr. Lancer sat at his desk. " I have a question I would like you to ask your parents. It's about this years field trip."

A few minutes later both Fenton children yelled, "Are you CRAZY?"

"No, I'm completely serious. The students are interested in ghosts, so what better way for them to learn more than to go to their home?"

"You want to take the entire high-school on a field trip to the Ghost Zone?" Danny asked incredulously. "That's a horrible idea!"

"This is a horrible idea." Danny muttered as he stood with his class mates in his living room.

Of course his parents had loved the idea, wanting to show off their knowledge of ghosts and their habitat. This spelled disaster, since his parents had never actually BEEN in the Ghost Zone! Danny was hoping against all hope that he would be able to keep his identity a secret.

Soon his parents had come up from the lab. Ever since they agreed to this, they had been working on some new invention. Jack clapped his hands together like an exited kid. "You all ready?" He asked.

There was a chorus of 'Yes!' and Jack led every one to the lab. The students all goggled at the weaponry, but the main focus was a large steel circular door way with a swirling green mass inside. The Fenton Ghost Portal.

Maddie walked over to the group and said, "Now if you'll line up in an orderly fashion, we can board the SSB."

"The what?" Jazz asked.

"The SSB. It stands for Specter Speeder Bus!" Jack said proudly. "It's like the Specter Speeder, but it fits a lot more people. And it has more windows!"

Danny groaned at smacked his face. He had been hoping they wouldn't have enough room so HE could stay behind and go ghost. As they all piled on, Danny was mentally chanting, "No ghost attacks! No ghost attacks! Please PLEASE don't let there be ghost attacks!"

Danny and Sam sat in the front row behind the passenger seat. In the seat across from them was Jazz and Tucker. "This is brutal!" Tucker whispered to his friends. "Your parents don't know the first THING about the Ghost Zone and they're taking a bus of jocks and nerds who can't defend themselves!"

"Gee! Thanks for putting how horrible this is for my identity into perspective!" Danny whispered sarcastically.

"Don't worry Danny." Sam said. "Maybe your enemies will give you a break!" She didn't sound confident. "And if not… I brought some Fenton wrist rays!" the goth held up four wrist rays as an emphases.

Jazz leaned over and said, "And I've got the Fenton Ghost Peeler! If any ghost comes after us, we'll be able to fight back without your ghost powers."

Danny gave them a small smile and said, "It's never easy, remember."

"I hope we get to meet the ghost boy!" Paulina cried. They were just about to take off into the swirling green that was the Ghost Zone.

'Fat chance.' Danny thought. 'If I can help it, there will be no going ghost. Phantom hopefully won't be needed.'

Every one buckled up and Maddie started the SSB. The ship lifted into the air and, after a moment, it shot into the GZ.

And, of course, things quickly went down hill when Danny's ghost sense went off.
