It was a beautiful December evening as the School Bus from Toon City High School heads to a mansion to take care of it for the winter.
"Well, it was a long trip, but we're almost there!" Luna said, smiling.
"I can't believe you guys aren't excited!" Sam said.
"Oh, I'm real excited," Danny said sarcastically.
"Instead of spending a week with these fools, it's 2 whole weeks!" Jamie-o groaned.
"Luna, Danny didn't forget to lock the back door, did he?" Luan asks, concerned.
Danny gasps in shock, he did.
"D'OH!" Danny shouts in angst.
(Wednesday)
The students went back up the mountain, this time with Mr. Lancer..
"Well it's been two long trips, but we're finally almost there again!" Danny said, sarcastically.
"When you remembered to lock the front door, did you remember to lock the back door?" Luna asks.
Danny gasps in shock, he did not.
"D'OH! D'OH!" Danny shouts in angst.
(Thursday)
The students went back up the mountain, this time, it feels like they've forgotten someone.
"Oh, no, we've forgotten Mr. Lancer at the gas station!" Jazz yelps. No response. "What about Mr. Lancer?"
The bus then stops in front of the mansion as the classes get out of the car, greeting Malory Archer and her employees.
"Finally, The sea monkeys I have ordered have arrived. Look at them cavort and caper." Malory said.
"Mother," Sterling said, annoyed. "They're the new caretakers for the lodge."
"Yes, they work hard, and they play hard." Malory said, nonchalantly.
Inside the house, the group tours throughout the house.
Malory said, "This house has quite a long a colorful history. It was built on and ancient Indian burial ground and was also the setting for Satanic rituals, witch burnings, and five John Denver Christmas specials."
Danny shudders as he said, "John Denver, eww."
Suddenly, A large pool of blood shoots out of an elevator, confusing Cheryl.
"That's weird. The Blood doesn't flow until the 2nd floor!" Cheryl said.
"Eww." Leni said, disgusted.
Meanwhile, the Groundskeeper, Stan Pines, is in the backyard, with a large hedge maze. A chainsaw cuts through.
"What the-?" Stan said, shocked. The sawers are revealed to be Lane and Luan Loud.
"Found a shortcut!" Luan laughs.
"You assholes!" Stan shouts in rage. Stan then thought in his head, "No, no, go easy on these kids. Danny's gonna go crazy and chop them into Ground Beef."
"Then it must be a cow with no legs." Lane said, chuckling. Stan gasps in shock.
"Boy, you read my thoughts!" Stan yelped as he grabbed Lane by the shirt. "You've got the Shinning!"
"You mean "Shining'." Lane said, bored.
"Shut up!" Stan said, letting Lane go. "You wanna get sued? Now look, if that Ghostly boyfriend of Luna goes crazy, just use that "shin" of yours to call me and I'll come a-running. But don't read my mind between 4 and 5. That's when I have to keep Mabel from the smile dip!"
Meanwhile, Malory and her employees were about to leave as Krieger cut the cable wire.
"By cutting off Cable TV, the beer supply, and putting up the Ghost Portal up so no Ghost can get in or out, I can assure an honest work out of those lowlifes!" Mallory said.
"Did it ever occur to you that doing this was the reason the previous Caretakers were killed?" Cyril asks.
"Perhaps." Malory said as they left. "Tell you what. If everyone's killed, I owe you a coke!"
Later that night, Danny Phantom phased through the walls of his friends' room, looking a little repressed as he turns on the TV, only to see static no matter what channel is on.
"Hmm, no ghosts, cable's out." Danny then said. "Think I'll have a beer."
Danny notices there isn't any beer!
"Hmmm. No beer." Danny said, trying to keep his sanity.
"Wow, you're taking this really well..." Luna said, surprised.
"I'll kill you, I'll kill all of you!" Danny said, struggling to keep himself calm. "Sorry! Sorry, I think I'll just check out that axe collection."
Danny left, but not before saying threateningly, "Don't wait up."
"Is Danny gonna go crazy and murder us?" Tucker said, concerned.
"We'll just have to wait and see." Luna then said.
At the hotel's lavish bar, Danny was sitting there, when all of the sudden, The Box Ghost arrives, dressed as a butler.
"So, what will it be, Ghost Child?" The Box Ghost asks, adjusting his tie.
"BOX GHOST! GIMME A BEER!" Danny said, desperately.
"No." Box Ghost said, sternly. "Not unless you kill your friends."
"What? Why?" Danny asks, concerned.
"Uh..." Box Ghost said, bored. "They'd be much happier as ghosts."
"You don't seem real happy." Danny said, suspicious.
"Oh, I'm happy, I'm very happy!" Box Ghost raised his voice, angrily. "NOW WASTE YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY, I'LL GIVE YA MIKE'S HARD LEMONADE!"
It was around midnight and no sign of the Ghost Child.
"Danny?" Luna said, walking towards the lobby. She notices the Typewriter and walks towards to it in concern. "What he's typed might be a window into his madness."
She slowly walks up to the typewriter, which reads "Feelin' fine".
"Feelin' Fine! Wow, that's a relief." Luna said, sighing in relief. A flash of thunder strikes, reveling "No TV, No Going Ghost and No Beer make DANNY Go Crazy" all over the walls, much to Luna's horror. "Well, there goes any encouragement whatsoever."
Danny bursts through the doors in his ghost half, grinning menacingly as he makes Luna scream in terror.
"Nice, huh? All I need is a title." Danny said, talking in a manner similar to that of his evil self from the future. "I was unsure of it, but I decided to make everyone aware of the fact that "No TV, No Going Ghost and No Beer make Danny..." something, something."
"Do the words go crazy ring a bell for you?!" Luna yelled, incredulously.
"THEY SURE DO!" Danny yelled, crazily. Then, he babbled in insanity, scaring the daylights out of Luna as she grabbed a baseball bat out of a case by breaking the glass and grabbing it.
"Stay away from me, Danny!" Luna said, swinging at Danny as the Halfa easily phased through the swings.
"Give me the bat, Luna! Give me the bat. Give me the bat! Come on. Give me the bat. Give me the bat-bo-bo-baluluuluulu. Heh-Heh-Heh." Danny said. "Scaredy cat!"
He then makes a scary face, he turns to the mirror, noticing how frightening he is, he screams, and falls down the stairs, becoming unconsious.
Luna then drags Danny to the pantry, and puts him in there.
"Sleepin' don't come very easy in a straight, white vest, luv. Don't make me call Arkham Asylum." Luna said, closing the door.
Later, Danny is eating the snacks in the pantry.
"Uh, Ghost child? It's Skulker, the ghosts and I are concerned the project isn't making any progress whatsoever." Skulker was heard.
"Can't kill now, eating." Danny then said.
"For Christ's sake, already..." Ember was heard as the ghosts dragged Danny out of the pantry against his will.
Later, Danny was chopping the door with an axe. He peeks through the hole, saying, "HEEEEEEEEEEEEEERE'S JOHNNY!"
Unfortunately, he was not in the right room.
"D'OH!" Danny shouts in angst.
Later, Danny was chopping another door with an axe. He peeks through the hole, saying, "DAAAAVIIIIIID LETTERMAN!"
Unfortunately, he was not in the right room as Mr. Lancer was reading his book.
"Well, he's not as good as he used to be..." Mr. Lancer said, nonchalantly.
"D'OH!" Danny shouts in angst.
Later, Danny was chopping the door with an axe. He peeks through the hole while holding a stop watch, saying, " I'm Mike Wallace, I'm Morty Safer, and I'm Ed Bradley! All this and Andy Rooney tonight on 60 Minutes!"
The teens scream as they ran for their lives and run to another room.
Lori calls Bobby on a Walkie Talkie, "My sister's idiot boyfriend is literally on a murderous rampage! Over."
"Wooh," Bobby sighed in relief in his room. "I was getting worried."
"No answer!" Lori scolded.
"No biggie." Lane loud then said. "I can use my "Shinning" to call Stan!"
Lane then concentrates as Stan is in his room, watching his portable TV.
Suddenly, Stan has an alarmed look on his face as he said, "Uh oh. The little pun making boy and his friends are in trouble. I'm coming to rescue the lot of you!"
In the main room in the house, Stan arrives with a furious look on his face.
"Alright, kid, I've got my brass knuckles, and my gun, show me what you got!" Stan said. Just then, Danny comes right behind him and puts the axe in his back. Unphased, the Con Man asks, "Is that all you got?"
Dying, he falls to the ground with a thud, much to the horror of the Teenagers.
"If he needed something, he could've just Axed!" Luan yelped, chuckling nervously.
"Must kill friends..." Danny groaned, grabbing an axe and moving towards his friends.
He growls as he chases his friends in the snow. Wendy then falls in the snow next to Stan's portable TV, which she throws it at the ghost child.
"Aah! Teacher! Mother! Secret lover. Urge to kill...fading...fading...fading...rising! Fading...fading...gone." Danny gasps as he starts to calm down.
"See?" Sora said, calmly. "Nothing to worry about."
"I'm gettin' the hell outta here!" Jake long said, running inside.
"Well, at least the reign of terror has ended." Leni sighed in relief. The others sigh in relief as well.
"Come, family. Sit here in the snow with Danny and let us bask in television's warm, glowing, warming glow." Danny then said as his friends sat next to him.
The rest of the gang sighs happily as they sat and enjoyed watching TV, unfortunately, the moment was ruined as a few seconds later, they were frozen.
"And now, it's the Tony Awards, with your hosts, Tyne Daily and Hal Linden." The TV announcer said.
"DUDE! Change it!" Luna said.
"Can't! Frozen!" Danny said.
"A Chorus Line" plays on the portable TV as the kids scream.
"Urge to kill..." Sam Manson said, impatiently. "...rising!"
