There's a wide grin on Dani's face as she and Enzo - both in ghost mode and both invisible - pass through her door and into Amity Park.

(There's also a flock of butterflies loose in her stomach, but we won't talk about them)

"Well, here we are!" she exclaims quietly. "Welcome to Amity Park!"

Enzo has never seen anyone so angry at so many businesses. He may ask later.

But now, for FentonWorks. "Dude!" He stares up at the ops center. "It looks like it oughta fall over!"

Dani giggles. "I know, right?"

"But the lab and the portal are in the basement, right? And... they live in the house part?"

'Cause with Jack and Maddie, you never know.

"Right." Dani nods. Maybe he'll get to see the portal too, if Jack and Maddie aren't home.

Checking to see if the coast is clear, Dani goes ghost again. "Shall we?" she asks.

"You bet!" he says, following.

Although now he's gonna be wondering just what's in the top part. Wait'll he finds out the answer is 'ham'.

Placing a finger to her lips in a gesture of silence, Dani turned invisible and then took Enzo's hand before phasing through the wall into the building.

Ordinary sofas, ordinary chairs, a few knick-knacks... The mun doesn't know what adjective Enzo would be thinking of since she's not sure if 'retro-futuristic' has an antonym, but so far the main difference he's seeing between here and either home or Milliways is one of style.

Doesn't matter. No one about on this floor. No noises from upstairs, either. From downstairs, though, there's some banging, a crash, and some raised voices, with Jack audibly declaring that "it's supposed to do that!"

Even though he can't see it, Enzo can be sure that Dani is facepalming.

Yup, this is her family, for better or worse.

And she can't see his grin, but she can surely hear it when he whispers, "So, you're gonna live here, huh?"

"Eventually, yeah," she whispers back.

Pretty soon the duo should find themselves on the second floor, standing outside of Danny's room. At the moment, no one's occupying it.

"So, how do you want to do this?" Dani asks, remembering how she had first surprised Danny by sitting on his bed and reading his comic books when he walked in.

And they certainly would surprise him just by being there, but...

"Well, if we're gonna haunt him, we oughta stay invisible or, like, jump out of something... Ooh, I got one!"

Letting go of her hand, he phases through the bed, ducks down, and then stands back up. It's easier to phase the sheet with him than it is to turn tangible just the part of him that's above the mattress, and it doesn't make a difference to its appearance: either way, there's a not-so-spooky bedsheet ghost rising from the surface of the bed, making silly "WoooOOOOoooo..." noises.

Dani just shakes her head fondly.

"I dunno if that'll work. I mean...Danny's taken on Vlad. Besides, he'd probably figure out pretty quickly that it's us."

The sheet drops through a disappointed Enzo as he hovers higher.

"Something with his rockets?" he hazards, poking one of the models hanging from the ceiling.

"He might not kill us if we did..."

"Then what?"

Good question.

"Might as well go with the rockets; it's the best idea we've got. We'll just have to be really really careful."
