Jazz had made it back to Casper High, she was sitting in a stall in the girls' bathroom freaking out about her perfect attendance.

"There goes my perfect attendance." Jazz said shaking her head. "I'm not sure whether I should just wait till next class or show up late. Even if I show up late there's only 30 minutes left in class. I wonder Danny does?"

Meanwhile back in the city, Danny Phantom and Grendel went off to find Tucker and Sam. They finally found them in Amity Park, surround by the Mini-Shades. Sam was using the Ecto-prods, and Tucker was using the Fenton thermus. They had everything under control, but Danny saw it otherwise.

"Sam! Tucker!" Danny flew foward to help his friends.
"Wait!" Grendel said grabbing Danny by his leg. "They've got it under control."
"What are you talking about?!" Danny cried pulling away from Grendel. "Their my friends, and they are surrounded by an army of gremlin sized shadows."
"Well, if they're your friends, shouldn't you have a little more faith in them?" Grendel asked as he leaned against a nearby car. "I mean, they must have watched you fight ghost for awhile now, so they should know what to do, right?"

Danny was about to protest, but he knew Grendel was right. Danny turned and watched his friends defend themselves, he could feel his jaw drop as his eyes took in the scene before him. Sam seem to be an expert ghost fight, she was using the Ecto-prods as if they were shortstaffs, any and every Mini-shade the tried to attack her was sent spiraling into a tiny ghost portal at the end of the Ecto-prods. Tucker also seemed like a different person; if Rambo was a black adolesent, with a high IQ, a tch fetish, wore a red barret and glasses, than he was would be Tucker.

"Wow you guys are awesome!" Danny cried out. "I didn't know you guys had it in you!"
"Oh really?" Sam asked smirking asshe looked at Danny. "What else would we have done, I mean we've battled ghosts together before, plus Tuck and I have been practicing for awhile."
"Yeah man, we figure its about time we helped you out a bit." Tucker said walking over to Danny and hand him the Fenton Thermus.
"Say, where's that Shadow-guy at?" Sam asked Danny.
"Oh, you mean Grendel, he's....." Danny turned around to see no one standing behind him. "He was right here a second ago."

XD

lol, I love how you compared Tucker to Rambo, XP

keep up the good story!

Jazz decided it'd be better to just go and get ready for her next class, which luckily for her was Gym. As Jazz walked down the hall Grendel silently rose from her shadow, their backs facing one another. Grendel then proceed to float down the hall in the opposite direction as Jazz headed to the girls' locker room, both of them completely oblivious to one another's presence. Back with Danny, Sam, and Tucker, they were trying to decide on what to do next.

"So what do you guys want to do now?" Danny asked his friends as he changed back to normal.
"I don't know, how about we go to the Nasty Burger." Tucker suggested.
"Ugh, how about not." Sam replied with disgust.
"Then where do you suggest we go?" Tucker asked crossing his arms.
"How about a movie?" Sam finally said.
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go see a movie." Danny said.

Back at school Jerrel had managed to change back to his human form without anyone noticing. He looked at the clock, 15 minutes left of class, he shrugged and went to his locker and grabbed his stuff, as he closed it and turned to leave he saw Jazz exit the girls' locker.

"Skipping on your first day at a new school? You sure know how to make an impression." Jazz said folding her arms.
"Well, maybe if I had any real reason to stay, I wouldn't have to ditch school, now would I?" Jerrel said as he looked Jazz up and down. She's actually kinda cute, she's got some nice legs.
"Let me see your schedule." Jazz said bringing Jerrel out of his train of thought.
"Huh, what for? Gonna nark on me?" Jerrel asked raising an eyebrow.
"No, why would I do that." Jazz said defensively.
"Whatever, here." Jerrel pulled his schedule from his bag.
"Well, what do you know, we both have the same class next, Gym." Jazz said hand the schedule back. "Don't know why anyone would want to skip such an easy class, but hey its your choice." Jazz said walking away."
"Yeah...." Jerrel watched Jazz walk away, well, more like he was staring at Jazz's butt. "I guess I coulsd stick around a little longer." Jerrel said softly, so Jazz couldn't hear him.

Jerrel put his backpack back in his locker and headed to the boys locker room. "Wonder what they're doing toady in gym...." Jerrel said softly as he entered and sat on one of the benches.

The bell rang signaling the end of class, students flooded the halls of Casper High as they made their way to their next class. A bunch of boys filed into the locker room, they were all chatting and changing into their gym clothes. After changing they all headed into the gym and sat on the bleaches, Jerrel followed but instead of joinning the students on the bleachers he wait for the teacher by the door.

"Alright class today we'll be playing kickball, since I lost my organizer that has today's class plan in it." Said the teacher grouchily.
"Excuse me teach." Jerrel said walking over to the upset faculty member.
"What?" The teacher snapped turning around. "Huh? Who are you?"
"I'm the new kid, name's Jerrel Kenton." He replied.
