"Welcome to Amity Park Date Line, LIVE!!!! Who is the next lucky cupple???" The Game host yelled to the Camera and the crowd.
Danny sat nervously on his stool. He held up his card and read. "Contestant number one, State your question here…. Wait! I mean, Oh man…"
"CUT!" The Director yelled.
"Sir, there is no cut! We're live! Just start again, Lucky Batchelor!" The assistant corrected.
Danny shifted on his seat. "I don't want to! Who signed me up for this stupid show anyway!" He yelled, pointing up at the bright neon pink sign that took up most of the set.
AMITY PARK DATE LINE SPECAIL!
"He requested to remain secret. Now go!" The assistant shouted. Danny flinched.
"Ok, ok, ok. Contestant Number One," Danny read the card aloud. "I like a girl who isn't afraid to stand up for herself. If I did something wrong, would you tell me or play along?" He waited for the answer.
1"Uh, like, I would SO not notice." Was the reply he got.
Danny's eye twitched. "Uh, How about you, number two?"
2"I would personally hit you if you even tried to do anything."
Danny grimaced. "Uh, Number three?"
3"I would point it out then help you do it right."
Danny sighed. At least Number Three was nice about it. He took out his next card.
"I have a lot of secrets, some of them unbelievable. Would you accept it if one of them was life changing?"
1"I would scream."
2"Again, I'd hit you for not telling me sooner."
3"We'd work it out. I can keep secrets and you'd be surprised if you knew them."
Danny sighed. So far, it was number three. He pulled out the third card.
"My favorite color is –insert color here-…I mean Black! What is yours?"
1"Hot Pink!"
2"Orange because nothing rhymes with it."
3"Black, Green, and Purple. I'll hit you if you make me choose only one."
Danny sighed. So…number three was going to hit him too. Ger-rate. He pulled out the next card. But it was blank. He looked confusedly at the director, who was motioning for him to go on.
"Uh…what is your favorite mythical creature? Mine happens to a ghost."
1"-insert squeal here- Mine is a ghost too!!! I love our town hero! You, know, Danny Phantom!"
2"Grrr. My Favorite is a Ghost too, but only because I want to kill it!"
3"…I like fighting bad ghosts…"
Danny face palmed. Of coarse it was ghosts. They lived in Amity Park for goodness sakes! The next card was also blank, so he guessed that he was to make up another question.
"Ok, Describe your perfect boyfriend." Danny made up at the top of his mind.
1"I like buff blondes, but white hair is cool too!"
2"I like the type that's smart and isn't afraid to say they're wrong."
3"I like black hair and blue eyes. The shy and clueless type. One who isn't afraid to stand up and fight for himself when he should."
Danny froze. Number three had just described him! He blushed, earning an "Awwww!" from the audience. Danny looked at the next card, but it was also blank.
"Uh…"
Then he got an idea. He was going to find out whom the contestants were. He didn't want to get a girlfriend like this, anyway. But he had to do so the director wouldn't notice.
"I like a girl who isn't far away. I go to Casper High, do you?"
1"Yes, and I like it because I'm popular!"
2"Popular…I wish I was popular again."
3"Pshhh, Who cares about that junk. I'm and individual and proud!"
Danny smiled at the next blank card.
"My hobby includes going to the movies with friends, the nasty burger, and some other stuff. You?"
1"I like going to parties with my popular friends!"
2"Like they're friends to you! I like…I'd rather not say."
3"I too go to the movies and the Nasty burger. But I like to invite my friends over to my house for movies too."
Danny's eyes narrowed. He was vaguely reminded of someone…another blank card.
"What is you're favorite ice cream? Mine is…well…anything but sherbet."
1"What! YOU DON'T LIKE SHERBET!?!?!? THAT'S PUNISHABLE BY LAW!!!"
2"Calm down number 1! Mine is chocolate with chocolate syrup and sprinkles."
3"…I like Tofu."
Danny's eyes widened. The next card…
"What is your favorite cake?"
1"Strawberry shortcake!"
2"Lemon pound."
3"Chocolate with black icing, liquorish sprinkles with little gummy bats on top."
Danny smiled. He knew who number three was! There were no more cards.
"And that's it! Pick your new girlfriend!" The Game host/director cheered.
Danny pretended to be in deep thought. "I think I'll go with…Number Three!"
"No!" could be heard from number three's stall. "Don't choose me! I already have someone I like!"
Danny chuckled. "Sam, come on."
Number three's door smashed open, her eyes on Danny. "Danny?!?!?"
"Looks like we have a winner!" The Game host yelled. Confetti fell from the ceiling and the audience waited patiently.
Sam walked over to Danny and they both stood there, stupefied.Danny was tense, so it was Sam who made the first move.
Sam knew that Danny wasn't sure what to do next.
"Hey, Danny, you've got something on you." She said lamely, but he fell for it.
"Huh? Where?" He asked, confused.
She smiled evilly. "Here."
Danny's heart skipped a beat as she drew closer to him. She was so close…
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
Danny woke from his dream. His cell phone was ringing on his bedside table. He groggily reached over to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Danny! I found out who signed us up for that Date Line yesterday!" Sam said excitedly.
"Really who?"
"The only Tech-no-geek around."
"Tucker!??!?!?!"
"I know! I could kill him!"
"Don't, Sam. I think he did us a favor."
"hehe…I know…hehe…"
"I got an Idea, anyway..."Hehehe! I bet you could guess who number one and number two were yourselves!!!!
