'This is feels tripy...'

It has been...I don't know,  three hours since I woke up and was tossed here in this black void nothingness. I feel so sick, despite my experience of getting tossed over by everyone. It looks like I can't handle flying for three hours straight. Boredom never came to mind for I was to occupied to think about that...alicorn. I think her name was Luna.

According to her explanation, she was the one responsible of raising and setting the moon. Which is by the way really cool. And her sister Celestia, responsible for the sun. Then she said this world is filled with equines, dragons, pegasi, and many more fantasy like creatures. Still can't believe it either. Especially, UNICORNS!!

But I didn't found it scary or weird at all. I was kind of used to this kind of situation, take the Ghost Zone for example. Out of all the example's this one's the closest.

Now there was this fight between me and Technus, again. The equines didn't stand a match against him. His new update finally paid off. Except I'm going to have a hard time explaining everything to them. I'm going to call that Plan A. Even though I'm really bad at explaining stuff.

The next thing I knew, her sister, Celestia barged such a bad time too. She saw her sister in a really bad shape then who was the one to blame...me!? Before I can even explain, her horn started to glow. I wasn't able to mutter a word because she fired a humongous beam from her horn, of course it was heading towards me.

Next thing I knew the beam pushed me and held me cornered over by the wall. I can't even describe how painful it was. She fired it continuously, without any hints of wearing down. She must hate me now...drat! Plan A's ruined, time for Plan B. But what's Plan B you ask? I have no idea.

"Augh! Please stop!" I screamed.

"No use explaining thyself! I have seen enough!" she yelled.

Does she even have common sense? It's obvious that I'm not the ghost who hurt her. Do I even look that fat to you in this jumpsuit!? Pfft! Alicorns, I swear...

The wall was breaking apart. It cannot sustain the anger and force of her beam, so I was pushed even further in the wall. Losing my conscious every second. With my powers failing me, I couldn't go intangible. And that's when the beam finally destroyed the wall and I was thrown outside, all the way towards to some sort of forest.

Imagine a baseball game, Celestia was the batter and I was the ball. When the pitcher threw a fast ball, she swung her hardest. Even if she held it with her baseball bat with her mouth, she was able to get a home run. It went outside the field, and continued flying towards somewhere really far. Yeah, that's how far I got.

How I survive that beam? I don’t know. I should have been dead hours ago, but it seems that my half is already dead that it didn't met the conditions.

I didn't remember much after that. All I could remember is that there's a gray pegasus directly below me. I believed she was lost. Then my powers gone wonky, that I it should have been done seconds AGO! I went intangible! Then somehow or rather I accidentally overshadowed her. Because of her, the pain reduced quite a lot.

So I was able to rest, but forcing her to sleep with me. I'll apologize to her soon, when I finally soaked in the situation I'm in.

The main problem I'm facing now is that I can't get out of her. I tried to go intangible hours ago, but it didn't work. I'm stuck. And what's worse, is that I couldn't even control her. Naturally, even when I'm unconscious I can still control them. Which brings us back to this, being stuck in the black void for almost three hours!!

'Whelp...what's the plan now Danny?' he asked himself.

'My powers are useless right now and I’m still not sure about this other world thing. ' he reassured himself.

WOO!

"Huh?" I thought I heard something. Whew...who thought by just talking to myself would past the time. Anyway, what was that sound?

WOO! WOO!

"There it is again, it sounds like...a train!?"

ALL ABOARD!!

"Ugh...it's getting...louder..."

WOOO!! WOOO!!

"Not...a-again..."

Danny was on his knees, resisting to fall asleep again for the fourth time. Or was it the the fifth time? He started to cough and wheeze uncontrollably. Danny's eyes weren't doing any good, each blink got his vision more blurry than the last. Then finally the weird stuff happened. He began seeing another vision of a place at his left eye.

He saw a bunch of ponies were there, including unicorn's and pegasai's. He was laying on a bench in a train station. In front of him are two large suitcases with a bunch of stamps of places he knows, but it was ponified!

No matter how much resistance his body may conjure, with his poorly weak teen body. Each time he heard the train noise, the more he struggled to stay awake. The more he struggled only brought more pain in every part of his body. He never realized that it was tearing him apart.

THUD!

CHOO!! CHOO!!

"Raindrop," I called. "Do you have the stuff?"

"Yes," she showed me the briefcase. "It's all in here."

I tried to grab the case, but Raindrop immediately held it further away from me, "Not now, we must save this."

"But I want it now," I yelled.

"Control yourself, Ditzy," Raindrop demanded.

CHOO!! CHOO!!

My hooves were trembling so much, it was too hard to resist. The universe was calling me. I decided to do something embarrassing in front of everypony. I lunged towards Raindrop, like a hungry tiger who will not give up it's prey easily.

I got a hold of the briefcase for a second, until Raindrop took it again. I'm quite short-tempered when this kinds of thing happened that we started to fight over it. While I try to get the 'stuff' let me introduce the ponies with me.

The one I'm fighting right now is Raindrop, she's a pegasus and obviously a 'good friend' of mine. Her jasmine coat and aquamarine colored mane is really easy to be spotted.

She is a Mail Pony like me, and an expert at that. She knows all the shortcuts and routes through...everywhere! Raindrop is one of the top ranked mail deliverer in Ponyville and I consider her as my superior.  And behind us are three more ponies, who I also consider my friends.

"Hey guys, I really don't think this is going to work." Bonbon began the conversation.

She has a beige coat, with pigment blue mane with a rose pink streak. Beautiful cerulean eyes, and three candies as her cutie mark. I always thought that her cutie mark meant that she loves eating candies, but that's just silly old me.

She runs a candy store in Ponyville. And I think that's all the stuff you need to know about her. Since I don't know much about her. She doesn't regularly talk to anypony.

"What do you mean?" a unicorn with purple glasses and spiky mane asked.

She has an unusual stage name called, DJ Pon3. But her real name is Vinyl Scratch. She's currently staying with her best friend Octavia, considering how rich she must be.

I mean she is a disc jockey and a famous one at that. She's called the Wub Master. She performs every night at any night clubs in Equestria. But sometimes, once in a year, she travels outside of Equestria and exclusively plays with the big night clubs. At least that's what she said to me.

"We're going to break through to the most protected unicorn in Equestria," she exclaimed. "And the cause of all that is just to get her AUTOGRAPH!!"

"Well excuse me, this is my only chance to get an autograph from my number one idol Maclaine," she explained.

"She's just there for the opening ceremony, and we're not allowed to get anywhere near her," Bonbon said. "Do you even consider the biggest event that's about to happen!?"

"Coronation...Schmayation, I'm getting her autograph no matter what!!" Vinyl was never been so serious about something in all her life.

Bonbon was a bit shock from her response. She looked away from Vinyl to stare out the window. She sighed and moaned, "Why did I even agreed to this?"

"Now, now, what's with all the ruckus?"

Our little bickering stopped for a moment to see who called us. And it was just plain old Time Turner. By just his name, that doesn't mean he really bends time. He's just a regular businessman who sells clocks and other stuff in a flash. He has a chestnut colored mane, wearing a green necktie, and an hourglass as his cutie mark.

While Raindorp was distracted, Ditzy tried to grab the suitcase. Raindrop noticed Ditzy's movements at the corner of her eye and smiled at Ditzy's poor attempt. She went for the kill. But all else failed when Raindrop stopped her with just her hoof on her cheek. She tried to reach for it with her hooves waving violently. Raindrop placed the suitcase further away from her.

"Come on, just one bite," Ditzy whined.

"Nope!" Raindrop chuckled. "I'm really impressed on how far you would go for muffins."

Ditzy never gave up and tried to reach for it, even though Raindrop is much stronger than her. Until Time Turner grabbed the suitcase out of Raindrop's hooves.

"What's this?" he asked.

Raindrop released her hoof off Ditzy's face, making her fall on the floor. "Oh, that thing," she laughed and looked at Doctor. "Stuff that makes Ditzy insane over it."

Time Turner was a bit confused to what Raindrop meant. He touched his chin and tried to remember what makes Ditzy crazy. Until his head flinched, meaning that he knows what's in the suitcase. Turner laughed and returned the case to Raindrop.

"Why'd you even brought it?" he asked.

"Well," she helped Ditzy back to her seat. "My grandmother told me, when Princess Mi Amore Cadenza had her coronation day. It took the celebration for at least one whole day, and some went home because of the huge crowd and the insufficient amount of food at night.

Ditzy just sighed and stared at Raindrop and Time Turner mumbling conversation.

'I should be now just stuffing my face in a box of muffins. It was Twilight's coronation day and everypony was so psyched about this. After all the chaos that happened lately and it always relate to Twilight and her friends, it was kind of obvious that she'll be something quite out of the ordinary. Since she's a student of Princess Celestia.'

'I don't think that by just going there might change everything. Twilight is still angry about me and Raindrop for that we accidentally dropped a flower pot, anvil, and a piano...But Raindrop thinks that by just supporting or being there will make it all better. After all the shenanigans that happened two days ago was kind silly.' I stared out the window.

'The seasons were mixed up, everypony was all furious for no reason, and everything else gone whacko. But Twilight was able fix it all in one day, and then after that there was this musical number. It was really awesome. I'm only disappointed that there were no muffins in the song.' I stared back at the suitcase full of muffins on the floor.

WOO! WOO! APPROACHING CANTERLOT STATION! the conductor shouted inside the train.

"Oh! Were almost there!" I exclaimed. I got too excited that I popped my head outside the window.

The wind first came contact through my exposed head. A strong breeze flown through my mane. I quickly saw the palace where the coronation will be held, and what's really odd was the huge green bubble wrapping around the whole city.

I head back inside the train, to ask about the strange bubble. But the instant I looked at Raindrop and Turner; they laughed.

"What?" I asked.

"What's up with your mane?" Raindrop continued laughing.

I closed the window beside me and tried to see my reflection out of the window. I couldn't make out myself in the window because they're wasn't any object supporting behind it. Until we passed by a tree, making a short glimpse of my reflection.

Ah...they were laughing because of my mane...looking all messy-like. They've never seen me look like this, well except when Vinyl saw how ridiculous I look if I put twin-tails on. I was just experimenting that day until Vinyl barged in without even knocking.

The sudden change of events were quite...sudden that we just stared at each other, blankly out of words. Then five seconds later, she broke that awkward moment by laughing straight at my face.

I don't like talking about the past much so let's head back to the story shall we. Just with a stroke of my hooves on my messy mane, it went back to it's straight and spiky old self.

Now if I wasn't rudely laughed at, "Anyway, what's that giant green bubble covering Canterlot?"

Time Turner was the first one to stop laughing and then he looked at me with a sincere look, "Are you sure your brain is ready for this long and really detailed explanation?" he asked.

I shake my head and gave a quick nod, "My brain is ready!!!" I cried.

"Okay, here goes," Turner inhaled. "There have been a lot of reports on ghosts attacks on Canterlot lately, that the Princesses were afraid if it would happen...again, if they weren't cautious."

Ditzy raised her hoof, waving violently. "Yes Derpy?" Turner asked, letting out a deep sigh.

"What 'again'?" I curiously asked.

Bonbon hoof bumped her face, "You should have known this Derpy! How could you not have!?" Bonbon exclaimed.

I nervously laughed and said, "I forgotten a lot of stuff lately, so I...don't...quite...remember..." It looks like Bonbon joined in with our little chatter.

"The first ghost encounter we all had was when these whole entire army of ghost came out of the sky. We were pretty much defenseless, since our magic doesn't work on them. Even the simplest of magic." Raindrop explained.

"Uh...if I may?" Turner asked.

"Even the Elements of Harmony were useless to these icky creatures," Bonbon said with disgust.

"So anyway," Vinyl scooted beside me. "While Twilight's friends were walking in the Everfree forest for no applicable reason..." she was stopped by Raindrop as she put her hoof on her muzzle.

"And you know what they found there," Raindrop continued. She was pretty excited to say the next part. "A device that could capture ghost!" she finally released her hoof out of Vinyl's muzzle.

"Fine! Just tell her everything..." Turner grumbled.

"Ya' saying something Turner?" Bonbon asked.

"Nothing!!" Turner returned to his seat.

"Okay...so anyway, Twilight and her friends were the ones who found the strange device." Raindrop explained.

"After some of her days researching, she found out that this device can capture ghosts but it can only contain up to ten ghosts and it can only work if it was powered by a huge energy source," Bonbon said in full detail.

"And that energy source is their gems right?" I asked.

"Exactly!" Turner exclaimed. It seems to be the only word he can speak up.

"How do you guys know all this?" Ditzy asked.

"I got...some connections with...some ponies," Vinyl replied. She is has a lot of connections with everypony, it was not much of a surprising now. She said it last time, when Twilight mysteriously had two tickets to the Gala.

"Right...and Twilight was able to create a dozen of them by reverse engineering it but only able to increase the capture size of the 'thingy'." Raindrop explained further.

"I believed that she increased it by five?" Vinyl asked in doubt.

"Uh...guys could I ask you something?" Ditzy tried to ask them.

"No...I think it was three," Bonbon tried to reassure Vinyl's answer. Clearly ignoring Ditzy.

The three of them kept on talking about ghosts and the device that they keep bringing up. I didn't understand a bit of what they just said. I was getting squished by their 'advanced' words. My brain can't take it. There was no escape for me. Vinyl was standing on my exit and Raindrop is sitting in front of me. Then Bonbon rest herself on the back rest of my seat.

But fortunately Turner was able to get me out of the supernatural conversation that was happening.

When I slowly lowered my head out of their conversation, someone poked my hind leg. I checked under my seat and saw Turner. He was crawling under the seat. Once I discovered him, he gave a quick shush and made a 'come here' gesture with his hoof. I looked at my friends again, and it seems that their not stopping to even get some air.

Once I crawled under my way out of there, I was home free. And I really sounded like a pony breaking out of detention, but who CARES!!

I got up under the seat and quickly saw Bonbon hopping over on to my seat and kept on talking. They noticed but they didn't care. They're pretty serious on what they're talking about.

Turner continued to walk away our current cable car, "Let's go see what Octavia's doing." he suggested.

"Well...I have nothing else to do, okay!" I exclaimed.

We both trotted together to the next few cable cars and the last time I heard in their conversation has had me worried. "Did you heard that there was this ghost who almost killed Princess Luna!?" Raindrop exclaimed. If they were this powerful, I'm sure that Equestria will enter the Dark Age again.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

We almost trot to the last cable car of the train, and when he opened the last cable car we arrived at the restroom.

"Why are we here?" I asked.

"You'll see..." he said with a menacing voice.

The moment Turner said it, her face turned really red, "Wh-WHAT!? Are you suggesting...that we should?"

"Well come on," he said so calmly. He held Ditzy's hoof and helped her trot over to the restroom.

'EH!! What's going on!? I-I'm not ready to this sort of thing yet!! I know I have a little crush on you but that doesn't mean we should...! KYAH!! I don't wanna imagine it!!' her head was so lost in words that it's making her face turned more reddish than the last.

We were getting closer to the restroom. Turner was as calm as always. He was always like this when his plotting about something. And I'm STARTING TO NOT LIKE IT!! I was fidgeting each time Turner dragged me closer. My consciousness were having a debate in my head on what I should do. But it was clear as day that I should...

"NO!!" she released from Turner's grasp. "Y-Y...You pervert!!" she exclaimed then she tried to lightly punch him. But it appears more powerful than she thought it was.

"GAH!!" Turner rolled towards the side of the car. And the impact alerted the pony inside. That she didn't know there was someone in there.

Ditzy opened her eyes and noticed a certain pony coming out of the rest room. It was Octavia Melody, Vinyl's best friend. She has a light gray coat and black mane. Judging from her musical note looking cutie mark, she is a musician. And a famous cellist.

"What's going on here!?" she exclaimed. She saw quickly saw Ditzy whimpering and blushing. Then Time Turner on the side

"Oh my goodness!!" Octavia quickly ran towards Turner and held his head with her hoof.

"Are you okay!? What happened!?" she shouted.

With turn of her head she saw Ditzy had already left them in a rush. "H-Hey wait!!" Octavia called. But she was too far away, even by that distance she can hear her shout and repeating a phrase, 'Turner you big idiot'

"*cough*...*cough*...guh....Octavia...is that...you...?" Turner mumbled.

"Ah! Turner, get a hold of yourself!!" she said as she accidentally spitted on Turner's face. Turner was at the verge of death's door. And no one or pony could help him...except for Octavia though, who quickly thought of what he was up to.

-o-o-o-o-o-o-

"TURNER YOU IDIOT!!" she cried to the top of her lungs.

The train was filled of the echo of Ditzy's cry that everyone was looking at her as she past by each cable car. Meanwhile, back at the three happy-go-lucky friends cable car. Or in layman's term, Raindrop, Bonbon, and Vinyl. They're conversation about the other world kept on going, debating till' they're last breath.

FINAL DESTINATION!! CANTERLOT!!

"Whew, just talking about the supernatural takes alot off ya'," Vinyl slumped on her seat.

"It felt like we've been talking for hours," Raindrop tried to catch her breath.

"Hey! Guys we're passing the barrier now!" Bonbon looked outside her window.

Even with their tired looks, their curiosity burned their ghost ethics, forcing them to stare outside the window as the barrier pass-by through their body. Fascinated by the technology they have now, thanks to the strange device. They heard somepony crying to the top of their lungs 'TURNER YOU IDIOT!!' behind them, it sounded very familiar. They peeked out of their seat and saw the only possible pony who could cry like that.

She ran past by them, that she didn't noticed that she was running further away of her own cable car. "Hey Derpy, what's wrong!?" Vinyl called her. But she just zipped past them and continued on with her screaming.

"Poor Derpy, she was make used of...again," Raindrop sighed in the end.

"Watcha' mean?" Vinyl asked.

"Turner was trying to flirt with Octavia...for the umpteenth time, but his doing...it very wrong," Raindrop noted Turner's disturbing activity.

"How wrong?" Vinyl couldn't help but ask again.

"He read a...ugh...'How to get the Mares, drool over you (the Professional Version)' book. He read it everyday ever since you introduced him to Octavia," Raindrop exposed Turner's weirdest trick to get mares, which always ends a failure.

"Wait a minute...how do you know about this!?" Vinyl pointed out.

"I was the one that specially delivered that poor excuse of a book to him, and also he keeps showing it to me on how amazing it was," Raindrop confessed.

"Uhm...guys, shouldn't we go after her?" Bonbon asked.

Raindrop and Vinyl looked at Bonbon's pointed out the most obvious thing to do when Ditzy was in a situation like that. And they both looked at each other, looking dumbfounded. Until Octavia broke the silence, "Hey you three, shouldn't we be going?"

"Yeah, we should," Bonbon quickly grabbed her stuff with her muzzle.

"Uhm...wait a minute....Octavia what's that?" Vinyl pointed at the pony behind her.

"That's just Turner, why isn't it quite obvious?" Octavia was puzzled by her question.

"Don't tell you're starting to forget your friends faces too," Turner added. "I can explain the black eye later," he added.

"We already knew what happened about that," Bonbon giggled, but whatever Vinyl was saying started to scare her. She was not always serious about everything. But she was for this particular reason.

"No! I mean behind you," Vinyl redirected her hoof.

Out of nowhere a black silhouette popped out from Turner's flank and it's eyes glow red. Then suddenly it started to fly and now it's appearance is quite clear. Everyone in the cable car was terrified and couldn't move a muscle for they were too busy screaming...

"GHOSTSSSS!!!!!" a pony in the background screamed.

"Ghosts! HERE!!" Raindrop exclaimed.

"I thought the shield can prevent the ghosts from coming in," Bonbon cried out.

"Shouldn't you all know something about this barrier!?" Turner exclaimed.

"But not everything!!" Raindrop screamingly replied.

"Octavia...what are we going to do...?" Bonbon shakily asked.

"I...I...We just back away slowly so we won't provoke them," Octavia ordered.

"I don't think that's going to work, LOOK!" Raindrop howled as they all saw the ghosts incredibly multiplied and quickly surrounded them, laughing maniacally. Seeing there was no point of escaping, Turner jumped out of the group and declared, "I'll get us out of here!!" trying to act heroic as such.

"Heh, just like what the book said," he mumbled with pride. "Chicks dig heroic acts," he chuckled in silence.

He screamed and charged  towards the ghost blocking their path, but immediately on impact the ghost inflated it's stomach thus he was bounced back. The force of the hit, brought him back rolling to his friends like a bowling ball, resulting them to fall down as they got hit by Turner.

After that small failure, everyone's heads looked at the ghosts and they could not believe that the ghost's slowly got closer to them. And one was even drooling in green liquid form with it's tongue slipping out. She can hear it slurping and panting.

"Nice going there Turner," Vinyl complained. She saw Turner blush from what he did earlier.

"N-Now...what...?" Raindrop asked.

"W-We just wait for Twilight and her friends to get here...?'" Octavia wasn't sure about her idea.

"W-We don't have much time..." Turner said while he wept.

"I.....WANT...PRETTY....PONY!!" the ghost said as it makes a slurping sound with it's tongue out.

"T-They're getting...closer..." Bonbon started to wept also.

"P-Pull yourselves together!!" Octavia demanded a full cooperation with his friends.

"Then...what's our plan!?" Vinyl asked.

"We wait for Twi--"

"They're not coming!! OCTAVIA!! It's too late for us!!" Vinyl protested Octavia's plan for it was too late for them now.

The ghosts were just meters closer to them. Laughing at their despair. They looked more entertained to see them screaming and yelping for help. But one of them said it was time to eat a pleasant meal.

"GRAHHH!!!" the ghosts wailed; opening their mouths as wide as they can from their head to their disembodied tail.

"KYAAAHHH!!!!" the BC 6 screamed like little girls, especially Turner screamed the loudest of them all.

"HA-YAH!!!"

WHAM!! *SPLAT*

"What's that noise!?" Octavia thought, she definitely heard that huge splat sound. And positively she heard a colt shouting karate sounds. And what's weird for her is that they weren't eaten yet. She opened her eyes to see if her friends were outdone first. But to look upon an astonishing surprise. None of them were eaten, a sigh of relief on Octavia's face was found.

"They mus have passed out from screaming," she thought. Only Vinyl and BonBon were still awake.

Vinyl spotted Octavia turning her attention towards them, realizing this, she gave her a quick 'we're okay' nod. As they both turned their heads to Bonbon, they kind of expected what her reaction was suppose to be. But instead they saw her jaw wide open and her hoof directing the scene of destruction right in front of them.

"AAAAAHHHHH!!!!" the ghosts cried.

The cry disrupted their thoughts against Bonbon and they all faced the situation together, that has yet to be unfold.

"IT'S..........HIM!!!" they cried.

"Him?" Vinyl blurted it out unconsciously.

Out of the blue, a black shadow was being casted above them. The shadow showed more of a pony, but without flapping wings to support it from flying. Like it was floating in mid-air! Octavia and the rest of the trio slowly turned their gaze to the source of the shadow. To resolve the short, yet shrouded with a butt size of mystery pony.

Octavia cannot believe her eyes, so those Bonbon. But they weren't sure about Vinyl's reaction. They were too distracted on the 'thing' that has been floating for awhile. As they made contact, they saw was a simple grayish mare, flying on her four legs with a black and white jumpsuit and a flowing-translucent black and white mane.

"YAH! It's me! The One and The Only, Danny Phantom!!" the mare shouted in a colt voice. And currently standing on it's two hind legs while floating and hoof-bumping it's own hooves. Which making it's logo on his/her chest visible; it contained a DP insignia. Then suddenly it's hind legs started to merge together, forming a ghost tail.

"Is it just me, or this day could get anymore weirder?" Octavia said to herself.

"Haha," the figure laughed then noticed the pony who said it. "I'm sure that it's just not you," the mare/colt reassured.

"Because when I'm here," the mare paused and formed a fighting stance. "Things will get more stranger."

-o-o-o-To be continued....-o-o-o-
