THE PHANTOM BRIDE
Chp 1 :
Danny,Sam, and Tucker were walking down ailes of old trinkets, jewels,weapons,clothes and other crap you could find
at a flea market. They walked passed a store that had nothing unusual about it, execpt for one particular book that caught Sam's eye
"Hey, what's this," She looked at the book titled "The Corpse Bride" and she started to flip through the pages as the boys went over to her.
"Find anything interestin Sam?" asked Danny then Tucker poked his head in the book and read aloud.
"The ravens all gathered in formation as the ghostly winds surrounded Victor, his heart beating fast as suddnely the twig who had his ring on it's limb fiercly grabbed his arm and trust it into the cemetary ground, but Victor resisted as the twig's appearance was now a skeleton with a ripped glove as he pulled it out of the ground still griping hard on his arm, it released and fell to the ground. The ground shook violently where the hand tried to submiss him then a pale gloved hand gripped the ground and rose an illuminating light behind a dead woman with a torn wedding dress and some skin missing and a bare rib cage lift up her vail her eyes looked down on him saying,'I do'
"What is that Sam?" asked Tucker
"Uh...it says 'The corpse bride' on the front." Danny grabbed the book and examined it , blinking for a sec then put the book down.
"Freaky..."
" Hello dearies." an old woman popped out of the shop and startled the gang.
" Uh...hi." replied Sam
" So I see u found this," she said as she picked up the book.
" This was around the 15th or 19th cenury i believe...in old roman-jewish times."
" Is that the setting of the story."
" I believe so...an old legend."
" That's nice we gotta go now " said Tucker
" bye bye dearies." They walked away from the store.
"dang , now that's just creepy." stated Tuck
" I...guess so."replied Danny as a whisp of blue smoke escaped his mouth.
" Hello Daniel," said a sinister voice only belonging to a Vlad Plasmius or (as i prefer) a fruitloop, one seriously crazed up fruit loop. Danny searched for a place to go ghost, he went behind one of the caravans and out popped Danny phantom.
" Now wait, before you kick my butt-" he paused," uh that didnt go out right,"
"Go on,"
" Okay, let me guess , you're gonna try and waste my dad, and date my mom, or do another crazy experiment right?"
" Umm so close but wrong, you'll find out eventually but in the meantime, here a gift," then he shot a pink ray at Danny causing him to fly into a brick wall. Danny regained stabilit but Vlad was gone.
" Damn." he groaned as Tucker and Sam came to him.
" Well at least that's ALL he did." noticing Danny's burns
" Well now i have to find out what he's up to , only problem this time is he hasnt bluted it out, he's usually so predictable."
" Dont worry you can figure it out tomorrow." said Sam
The next day at school Lancer had an old book in his hand, the one at the fair.
" Class, this is The Corpse Bride, and-" Lancer was cut off by the door slamming open and in the doorway was a girl who had long black hair to her hips, cat like saphire eyes, white pale blemishless skin, and punk-goth clothing, and leaves all over her and she spit some out of her mouth as she tried to speak and looked at the class.
" Uh...hi." she said with a deep soft mellow voice.
" Are you Miss Follor," Mr. Lancer asked
" Yeah."
" Class this is Sydney Follor, and you transferred from..."
"Sacramento."
" Right Right...take your seat next to Danny and Samantha." he said pointing to the two.
Sydney put her stuff down and took her seat and Danny just could not stop staring at her. She looked back at him and waved a hand infront of his face then turned to Sam.
"Is he always like this?"
" Only when the evil she witch-" she pointed to Palina," or some cute girl walks by." she ended annoyed at her tone and Sydney looked around the room.
" So why's he staring at me?" Sydney looked confused and that made Sam crack up
" Yo..you cant be se..serious...god and i thought he was the only one this clueless."
"Im not clueless!" Danny and Sydney said at the same time.
" So why are you covered in leaves," he said with a smile
" wouldnt you like to know "she mumbled," i just had a rough time on the way that's all."
" Class ! as i was saying . This is the corpse bride , a tragic love tale involving a man who accidently weds a corpse bride by mistake and it will also be your extra credit assignment. It will bring your grade up 100 for participation ,Danny,weither it'd be the play or technicall settings(Tucker's face lit up at that), and it will be a play, some of the adults , maybe even your parents will be performing, auditions will be this friday." Mr Lancer passed out a copy to everone interested. at the end of the class.
" You're gonna do the play?" asked Danny to Sydney.
" Yep...i just love the book , the characters, the plot the way the characters feel about each other," she saddened at this
" What's wrong," asked Danny
" oh ...nothing...so um what are you guys going to do."
" Technical setting." Tucker said happily
" I dont know ...maybe Victoria...cause Emily is too hard." said Sam
" Why's that ?" asked Syd
" For the requirements of being Victor or Emily...you have to know how to play piano and for Emily you have to sing."
" Well Sam your a pretty good singer." said Danny
" Thanks but i cant play the piano to save my life...so who are you two going to be."
" Im gonna try out for Victor." said Danny
" Hah...looks like those lessons your mom gave you will acually pay off."
" Wait...you play too.?' asked Sydney
" Yeah for some years...so who are you gonna play Syd?" asked Danny
" Um i was thinkin the corpse bride." she said sheepishly."
" Really...do you have the speacial requirements it asks." asked Sam w/ a sly look.
" Yeah,."
" Well you do realize your going to have to show us right."
" uhh...sure come over to my house later."
" How bout you sing for us right now." asked Danny,
" i dont-"
" Come on ...please." asked the group
" okay okay...um lets see." she cleared her voice
i took thier smiles and i made them mine
i sold my soul just to hide the light
now i see what i really am
i thief a whore and a liar
i run to you call out your name
i see you there farther away.
Her voice was soft melodic deep to Danny it sounded like an angel. When Sydney finished the entire hallway was shouting with applause.
" Is that from Evanescence? Because you sound just like her if not better."
" Well i dont know about better. but thanks" she said then Dash was coming toward Sydney
" OH god." said Sam and Dash posed himself infront of Sydney's locker.
" Sup hottie." said Dash cooly
" My names not hottie it's sydney."
" yeah whatever, im dash star quarterback of the football team and king of casper high."
" lovely" she said with aggravation.
" you wanna hang with us instead of these losers ." Dash said pointing to the gang
" for the record they aren't losers, infact i bet they'll be somewhere after high school, and they just so happen to be my friends."
"Whatever your coming with us weither you like it or not," he grabbed Sydneys arm
" HEY." she used her free arm to crack down on Dash's arm and there was a cracking sound and she punched him to the other side of the lockers.
" Touch me again and i'll rip out the heart from your skeleton and drag it along with your ass and drive it back to the bloody pits of the underworld from wence it came!" she said menecingly and Dash gave out a girly yell and ran off. An entire crowd was looking at her and she held up her fist.
" SCRAM.!" and they were gone in an instant and she turned to the gang
" Sorry for that, what were you going to say-' then she slipped on some water, but Danny caught her tango style.
" thanks." she said blushing as they were staring into each others eyes, then some jock pushed Danny over and he fell on top of Sydney on the ground but they quickly got up.
" he he did i metion i am a total clutz," then she snorted, " and that." and everyone was laughing " Danny still had his arm around her waist from helping her off the floor. Then Sydney winced at a pain at her side and Danny got worried and spazzing out
" A.are you okay" he started checking her like the way a mom checks a sick kid( with the fever)
" I..im f...fine really tickleish" she said with laughter
" Really " Danny said slyly then Sydney had a wide-eyed expression and said deeply as he held out his hands.
" Nooooo...nooo...nooo.no no" then she fell victum to laughter as he was tickling her like crazy and everyone was cracking up ( espeacily Sydney)
But Sydney had the wincing pain again at her side
" hey are you okay?" asked Sam
" yeah just fine." she said painfully then part of her side began to bleed
" OH MY GOD." Danny said worriedly as he took off the part of the shirt were the blood shone and there was a deep cut where you could see her ribcage.
" WE NEED TO GET HER TO THE HOSPITALY DOWN THE BLOCK." and Danny picked her up bridal-style and ran her to the hospital as Tucker and Sam followed.
" They make a cute couple dont they." said Sam
" Yup...i wonder how long it takes before they hook up."
" two weeks"
" one week"
" your on" said Sam
