Remi walked up the gray steps looking up at Danny's home. "Fenton Works?" She read the neon signs. Her eyes moved upwards, spotting the over sized signal that stood proudly at the top of their home. Remi whistled impressively, "Cable."
Ding Dong
There was a silence and Remi sighed. "Are these people alive?"
The monster blew another fraction of his inner green goop through his mouth, shooting it and Danny, who this time took the impact easily and replied with another ecto blast.
Ding Dong
"Helloooo?" Remi groaned, taking one of the cookies and stuffing it in her mouth.
"You're dodging my every shot!" Danny said, hovering above the monster. "You're completely made out of thick liquid!"
Danny, his hair soaked in a green sludge, turned to his right and at the corner of his eye he spotted.
"That's it! The only thing keeping you together is yourself! So I need to make you more flexible." Danny flew to a fire truck, grabbing the hose with a smirk.
"Hey!" A fireman yelled.
"So I need to make you fall apart!" Danny held the hose with both hands and saw clearly the lever needed to be pulled. The monster turned to Danny with eyes tilted in fear.
"Maybe I should just leave." Remi sighed, talking to herself. As she turned around to walk back to her home she heard a sharp explosion of liquid or water. "Huh?" Remi turned back to the house.
Danny opened the door slowly, making sure not to reveal his completely messy appearance. He opened just enough to show his face but the goop could be seen through his black locks.
Remi raised an eyebrow at him but shook the feeling away. "Hi, uh--."
Danny cut her off. "Yeah, sorry. Not to be rude or anything but you need to leave." His shoes squeaked and he almost lost his balance from the liquid he caught from the monster he had retrieved a few seconds earlier.
"What?!" Remi uncontrollably stomped her foot on the floor.
"You need to leave! I-I'm sorry but there's a lot of things I need to do before my parents get here." He said sharply, getting ready to close the door.
"But, I brought coo--." The door was shut in her face. "-kies." She finished her sentence. "Alright, buster." She pushed up her sleeves with an angry frown.
"Oh, duh!" Danny slouched, rolling his eyes. He squinted his eyes, letting his body grow transparent and thin, the green fall to the floor which he planned to wash off a few moments later.
Remi looked around her as she stood by the window of the Fenton residence. She sighed, seeing people around every corner. "Looks like I have to do this the hard way." She threw the platter of cookies through the window and stuck her head in next, slowly making her way into the house. "Oh!" She fell to the floor, falling head first.
She stood up carefully, rubbing her head. Remi looked to the right and the left cautiously before raising her hand in front of the upside down platter. She nodded accent. "Float." She whispered.
Within moments, the platter, as if carried by hands invisible to human eyes, lifted the silver metal plate, letting it hover to Remi who caught it just before Danny entered.
"Hey, when did you--!" Danny arrived with a white towel in his hand which he ran through his damp hair.
"Listen! I'm your new neighbor! You don't need to talk to me or look at me! I just came here to give you these cookies!" She stuck out an empty platter with both hands. She looked up to see only crumbs.
"Cookies?" Danny took the platter and stared at it for a moment. He sighed. "Okay fine. I'll play along. Do you want some water or something?"
"I don't want your charity beverage!" Remi crossed her arms.
"Fine." Danny crossed his arms as well.
"Okay, maybe some juice." Remi smiled leaning in with a finger pointed to the kitchen.
"Talk about meddling neighbors." Danny said to himself, walking into the kitchen.
"I heard that." Remi growled, following him into the kitchen.
Danny poured orange juice in a cup when the door suddenly swung open.
"Alright! Nobody move!" Jack Fenton yelled, pointing at the two who stared at him surprisingly. Danny's aim was off by a few centimeters as he poured the juice away from the cup letting it hit the floor in surprise by his father's appearance.
"I don't remember leaving Danny alone with a girl…" Jack walked towards them rubbing his chin.
"Dad, This is my- I mean our! New meddling neigh—I mean. Neighbor." Danny hit his own forehead.
"Well, welcome to the neighborhood. You may call me Mrs. Fenton." Mady smiled, shaking her hand.
"Hi, I'm Jazz." His sister raised her hand, walking towards her friendly. "You going to Casper High?"
Remi thought for a moment, putting her finger on her lip. "Oh that's right!" She snapped. "Yeah yeah, Casper High."
"Well, feel free to ask me anything, as the school's valedictorian and class president, it's my duty to help any freshman in need." Jazz put her hand on her chest proudly.
"Wow. You're really related to him?" Remi thought aloud, smiling weakly while referring to Danny who frowned at her bold comment.
Jazz frowned at Danny, giving him a glaring shot. "I hope he hasn't made you uncomfortable or anything."
Remi shrugged with a smile.
"Danny, don't you want to ask our neighbor if she'd like to stay for dinner?" Jazz suggested.
Danny rolled his eyes with a groan. "Jazz…"
"I'm flattered." She said sarcastically. "But it's fine. I need to get going anyways." She waved at them walking out of the kitchen.
"Oh, honey, we didn't get your name!" Mady called.
Remi turned around with a smile, unconsciously looking at Danny as she spoke. "Remi. Remi Murdok."
"Heads up, Fenturd!"
"Huh?" Danny turned around, seeing a foot ball hit between the eyes. He fell back to the floor.
"So much for under control." Sam reached out her hand, which Danny accepted.
Kuan and Dash high jumped up, giving each other a high five. "That's, I think, our 1325th hit this year." Kuan said with a laugh. The two walked past Danny, hitting his shoulders as they did.
"Well here's hit number one for me." Danny threw a small blast, pointing at Dash's head.
"Ow! Kuan!" Dash said, gritting his teeth at Kuan.
"What, what?!" Kuan put his hands up defensively.
Dash growled, tackling his friend in an endless wrestle.
"So what's up with you anyways, that ball was coming right at you and it took about a minute for you to notice it." Tucker commented with a snobbish grin.
"Yeah, I was just thinking about that pesky kid from yesterday." Danny scratched his head.
"Oh please, who your neighbor is doesn't make that much of a big deal. And that's saying alot coming from me because my parents sleep in the room next to me." Sam shivered, folding her arms.
"Sam, the rooms in your house are so huge, it's almost as if you live worlds apart." Danny blinked, sarcastically folding his arms.
"Which is why we're lucky to be your friends. Having a rich friend almost bails you out for anything." Tucker high fived Danny.
"Oh are you? Because we're just about… ten minutes late for class." Sam pointed at the school.
"You're late! Miss Manson, Mister Foley, and last but not least. Danny Fenton." Lancer folded his arms, eyeing Fenton as he walked through the doors last.
"Uh, hey!" Remi, holding her class schedule nervously, caught the attention of a girl. The girl had dark African American skin and her hair was long and dark. She was a chubby girl, the same age as Remi. She looked as a vision of yellow, holding in her hand a hall pass.
"Yeah?" The girl turned to Remi.
"I'm new here, uh, do you know where Mister Lancer's room is?" Remi scratched her head, embarrassed. "I've been looking through all the windows of this floor trying to look for the guy, I just noticed I didn't know what he looked like and that's when I ran into you."
"Well, one window more and you would have gotten him. He's that one right over there." The girl pointed behind her.
Remi turned to the door, smiling as she turned back to her helpful peer. "Thanks a lot!" She waved.
"Oh and, I'm Valerie by the way." The girl smiled. "Valerie Gray."
"I'll remember." Remi saluted her.
"Now, the atmosphere of this particular planet is--." Lancer put his hand down when the door had suddenly swung open, hitting the wall almost making a dent. Remi stood with her hand on the doorknob and Lancer's expression quickly fell in disappointment.
"Oliver Twist! Another late student? Miss Remi I presume. Well, unlike the others, I understand that it is your first day so I will let it slide for now. However, I hope that your further days at Casper High will be spent with a bright, crispy, and EARLY morning!" He stretched out his neck, making sure his cry was yelled close enough to blow Remi off balance. She stood up straight with a weak smile.
"Yeah, yeah; it'll never happen again!" Remi put her arms up defensively.
"Good, now, take a seat next to Mister Fenton. I am sure you two have a lot in common." He smiled, but then his sarcastic affection quickly presumed a sour sneer. "What with losing track of time and what not."
She saw a boy sink in his seat. She took the empty seat beside him, paying attention to the special eye contact they had that was a cross between a glare and a stare of curiosity and interest.
"Ugh, please… Ghost fighting is TOTALLY different compared to 'losing track of time.'" Danny sighed, resting his chin on the palm of his hand as the voice in his head mocked Lancer arrogantly.
"Hey, there." Tucker Foley, who sat on Danny's other side leaned in with a smile. He quickly sneaked in some breath spray in his mouth. "The name is Tucker Foley, TF, as in 'totally fine.'" He showed off his teeth.
"Ugh." Sam who sat in front of Tucker, sighed, lowering her forehead in the palm of her hand.
"Um… Okay." Remi took a deep breath and began to speak trying to talk as close to Tucker-talk as she could. "Hey I'm Remira but that's hardly my name, you can call me Remi but I guess I don't really like that name either. If I could choose my name, I think I'd call myself Pan you know? Peter Pan? Yeah…" Remi said quickly, smiling with bright green eyes that shone almost in a way that was extremely annoyingly cute.
Tucker jerked back by a bit. "Does, she not know what a pick up line is?"
Danny and Sam shrugged.
"Guys, this is that neighbor I talked to you about." He turned to Remi. "You'll have to excuse Tucker. He hits on just about every pretty girl in the world." Danny leaned on his chair, laughing a bit to himself.
"Ha! So first I'm a meddling neighbor and now I'm one of the prettiest girls in the world?" Remi shot, pointing.
"Hey! I didn't mean it like that and you know it!" Danny shot back with a point, blushing just before he did.
"Oh how pleasant, my first day at school and my neighbor calls me an ugly officious neighbor." Remi rolled her eyes, turning back to the board.
"I didn't call you an ugly officious neighbor." Danny turned back to the board. "I just implied it."
"OH, IMPLIED IT?! Danny Fenton, you are quite a the forthright neighbor and a difficult classmate." She shot. "I'm implying that you're an inconsiderate person to live next to who unfortunately I meet every single week day."
"Does everything have to be a war for you? An eye for an eye? An ear for an ear? What next? You're going to try and inherit my pet guinea pig?" Danny Fenton leaned in towards her and whispered viciously.
"Well fine! Here's my arm! Here's my leg! Here's my heart!" Remi whispered loudly standing up and pointing at her body parts as she said them angrily.
Danny cocked an eye brow while the students turned their heads to stare at her.
"Ahem…" Lancer coughed.
A familiar creature with a large metal physique stopped and looked at the town of Amity Park below him. He took out a photo from his pocket.
The photo was that of a girl with chestnut brown braids and bright green eyes. He put the photo back in his pocket and smiled, readying one of his most favorite guns.
"Where is she!?" He released a gun from his back and fired at a dumpster. "Where!?" He fired another one at a tree. "Is!?" A cat fell out from the burning branch. "She!?" He looked up in defeat, yelling at the top of his lungs.
The bell of the school chimed, giving the students of Casper High free ability to run out of their classrooms, whether the teacher had finished their last sentence or not.
"You got me in trouble." Danny frowned.
Remi walked backwards away from the class with her hands folded. "Once again, Fenton, you have under estimated Remi Murdok for I am a totally awesome, smart, and elegant--." She fell backwards, hitting her body on the floor with a great boom! "O-ow…"
"A liar?" Danny finished her incomplete sentence with a frown. He threw up at her notebook and pencil case, scattered on the floor messily. She caught it cautiously and messily, blowing her bangs from her forehead.
"For the record, Remi, I think you're very awesome." Sam said with a smile, helping her up by the hand.
She jumped up with a fully recovered expression. "But would you describe me as elegant?"
Sam looked away with a weak smile. "Uh… Oh hey, look at that it's time for second period."
The bell rang again.
"I hate to do this but could I be your stinking lab partner?" Remi frowned, watching Danny ashamedly through her foggy goggles.
"How sweet." He said sarcastically, turning to the side and ignoring her while he continued with the chemicals.
"Oh come on!" Remi's shoulders dropped. "I hate you just as much as the next meddling neighbor!"
"Will you quit it with that?!" Danny shot at her and turned to his other test tube. "What happened to your other lab partner anyways? I went out for a bathroom break for five pitiful minutes and already you manage to send another one out the window?"
"For you information!" She grabbed a chair by him and sat down on it violently, making him jerk slightly. "My lab partner got slightly burnt!"
"It's how that I'm worried about, and careful. You might break my arm or something." Danny rolled his eyes.
Remi rolled her eyes back. "If you ask him what happened, he'll say it was my fault but I CLEARLY remember saying 'dear god, you're on fire, run for your life.'"
Danny yawned at her explanation and turned back to his test tubes. "Yeep." He sighed. "You can return to your seat now."
"Give me a break! You need me as a lab partner, I may drop some bottles once in a while but I am an expert on potions and spells."
"Potions and what?" Danny blinked.
"Chemicals and…. Smells." Remi turned and made a sour face, biting her lip. "Darnit." She mouthed.
"All the more I don't want you as a partner." Danny said.
"Just so you know, I saw you mix the monocloride acid with the alkaline water and dump it in the plant just before it starting bubbling blew smoke." Remi shot at him, resting her chin on her wrist smugly.
"Oh, and as if I didn't hear that oh so terrorizing scream of 'REMI, DON'T DROP THE-GRAAAAH!! The… sulpheric acid…'" Danny tilted his head towards her with a smirk.
"I may have dropped that one bottle but just so you know, the class ends in five minutes, if you finish that INCOMPLETE table of results of yours, you're doomed to eternity in detention." Remi twirled in her seat.
Danny thought, looking up at the clock. "Fine! Finish it but I swear, one drop of toxic substance and I will--." Danny blinked largely. "What are you doing!?"
"Just putting in the acid." Remi watched the test tube carefully with her tongue sticking out to her upper lip. Remi leaned to her right and the beaker at the edge of the table hit against her elbow and crashed to the floor. "Crud!" Remi quickly swerved and the test tube of acid spilled on a Bunsen burner which flew up in flames and wildly heated up the beaker above it and made the liquid boil and explode on Danny's shirt.
"Gaah!" Danny stood up in a hurry, pinching a dry part of his shirt and pulling it away from his stomach, blowing on it worriedly. "W-what is this!? Oh geez, it burns!" He inhaled through his teeth.
"Does it really?" Remi blinked.
"Yes!" Danny yelled at her.
"That's weird." Remi put her finger to her lips.
"Why!?" Danny yelled again, blowing on his shirt.
"Because it's salt water…" Remi smiled.
Danny blinked, letting go of his blouse. "Great." He wiped his blouse with his palm. "Now I'm wet with salt and water."
Remi put her fist to her mouth, laughing softly.
Danny glared at her. "I hate to admit it, she's kind of cute when he laughs. But not at all as cute as Paulina or Valerie." He thought angrily. "Stop Laughing!" He cried out to her angrily.
"I-I'm sorry!" Remi stopped herself. "Do you want me to dry that up for you?" She reached her hand out.
"Forget it." He took a step back. "Let me just save you the trouble…" Danny threw the light blue contents of a beaker on his shirt.
Danny sighed after taking a sip of soda.
"Don't you think you're being a bit too harsh on her?" Sam smiled.
"Why? She's the one who totally jinxed my entire good luck streak."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that before she got here, I've been catching every ghost in sight and I've been getting at least B+'s. Now, I couldn't eat lunch today because of the lunch lady and I couldn't catch the lunch lady because I kept thinking about that F I got from Lancer today!" He threw his head back.
"It's not that big of a deal, I like her. She reminds me a bit of you." Sam smiled sympathetically, waiting for him to turn back to her.
Danny blinked. "Me reminds you of her?!" Danny busted.
Sam sighed.
"I'm clumsy." Danny stood up. "But not that clumsy."
"Save me the trouble?" Remi repeated to herself angrily while rolling on her bed. "I oughtta put a hex on him! It was an accident I get it but he acts as if I exploded the blue house!" She blinked. "Or was it white house?"
"Meow…Meow…" Jasper meowed, crawling into the room with a yawn.
"My parent's aren't here, Jasper." Remi sighed.
"Good because I wanted to talk to you about that hideous neighbor of ours." Jasper purred, scratching behind his ear.
"I needed to talk to you about him too! He's so selfish and inconsiderate! He completely insulted me today at school."
"School? No! I'm talking about that big pudgy guy! The one that always screams 'Ghost!' all the time and occasionally threatens me with a boom like stick." Jasper hopped on the bed.
"That's Mr.Fenton. Him and his wife are ghost hunters, can you blame them?" Remi sat up, rubbing Jasper on his back.
"Eh, I can't blame the thin one. She gives me cat nip from time to time." Jasper moaned. "Ooh yeah, keep scratching."
"Have you met the son?" Remi brought Danny up.
"The son of the bear hunters?" Jasper moaned and groaned between words.
"GHOST hunters." Remi laughed.
"Ghosts?! There's no such thing!" The feline sat up.
"That's what I thought but if I were to open my mouth, I wouldn't gotten enough of a mouth full from Danny-insults-too-much." She sighed.
"Enough with this complaining, geez! Your'e just like your grandmother when I'd break her icky basil lotion bottles." Jasper stuck his tongue out in disgust. "Let's electrocute him, there are tons of wires around everywhere."
"Maybe I'm exaggerating." Remi fell to the bed.
"Of course you're not! You're a Murdok! Murdoks never…EVER… give up on problems like this! We must fight till we win!" Jasper stuck his paw up. "We must battle with him violently. He hurt you and so we make him pay!"
"You're right!" She sat up.
"Arent I always?" Jasper sat up with a grin, admiring his sharp pearly claws.
"No… Wait-wait." Remi waved her hand in front of his face. "Nothing you say is ever right!"
"What is that supposed to mean?" Jasper drew his nails back.
"You're the one who told me to keep my secrets hidden from Mom and Dad, you're the one who told me it was a good idea to move to Amity Park, and now you're telling me to get back at Danny?!" Remi cried. "No stinkin' way!"
"Fine fine! Then apologize to the idiot, I don't care…" The cat jumped off the bed.
"That's just what I'll do!" Remi picked up a pillow behind her and angrily threw it towards her pet, missing his tail by an inch.
"Maybe I should apologize to the girl." Danny stepped into his room, closing the door behind him. "It was her first day at school after all…" He thought a little longer with his arms folded. "Yep, I should apologize." He opened the door and stepped out.
"Shadow! Attack!!" A familiar voice called loudly from outside his home.
Danny turned around fearfully, not needing to see the cold blue breath from his lips in order to know that Johnny 13 had visited Amity Park.
Ding Dong
Remi stood behind the door of the Fenton Residence. "Really, is their doorbell even working??" She scratched her head.
"Shadow! Search!" Johnny cried angrily. "Huh?" Johnny saw Danny fly before him.
"Long time no see, Johnny." Danny folded his arms.
"You!" Johnny charged at him with his motor bike. "You took Kitten!"
"Easy!" Danny flew up, dodging Johnny's attack. "I didn't take your girlfriend!"
"Liar!" Johnny lifted his hand. "Charge!"
Ding Dong
"Not again…" Remi shook her head in defeat.
"I swear!" Danny said in struggle, fighting off the shadow. "I didn't take Kitten!"
"Liar! Only one ghost would be cruel enough to take away Kitten and the other ghosts!"
"What other ghosts!?" Danny sweated, beating off the dark shadow.
"Other ghosts have been disappearing one by one! That big metal guy's been taking them away!" Johnny cried.
"Metal guy? You mean, Skulker!"
"Yes and just before he took my beloved Kitten I heard him talk about a half ghost! You are the only half ghost in this world!"
"No!" Danny flew to Johnny. "Plasmius!"
"What?" Johnny paused.
"Vlad Plasmius. He's my arch nemesis and an enemy to every ghost. He probably was the half ghost Skulker was talking about."
"Bu-but… Urgh… Liar!" Johny threw his hand before Danny, pointing accusingly.
"I am not lying. Think about it, Johnny, what would I do with Kitten and other ghosts anyways?"
Johnny looked down.
Ding Dong
Remi sighed.
"Help me find her." Johnny said, turning his head to Danny as he readied to leave Amity Park.
"I will." Danny nodded his head with a smile.
Ding Dong
Ding Dong
"Hold On." Danny turned his head. "Someone's ringing the door bell. Wait Johnny, I'm not done talking to you."
"Hurry up, ghost kid, I have no time. While we talk, Kitten is somewhere calling for my help." Johnny looked up at the sky.
Danny blinked. "Riiight… Just hold on a second."
The ghost boy transformed before jumping back into his home through a window.
"Who could be wanting to visit at this serious time?!" Danny quickly opened the door and saw Remi who was about to leave turn her head.
"You actually opened the door in time!" Remi said jokingly.
"I'm really sorry to do this again but you need to leave." Danny readied to close the door.
"What? Okay, quit it Fenton. I have something to say and believe me, it's a once in a life time opportunity." Remi said with her hands on her hips.
"Oh… Good bye." Danny readied to close the door but Remi stuffed her foot into the room before the door could be closed.
"I know I'm no picnic but just so you know, your not getting my 'sorry' anymore!" Remi raved.
"Murdok, it's not what it looks, I gotta go though!" Danny kicked Remi's foot out of the way and closed it.
Remi stared at the door.
"I'd hate to say I told you so…" Jasper swayed his tail above his head, resting on his stomach upon the surface of the cement floor next to Remi.
"I… I can't believe it." Remi did not take her eyes from the shut door. "I come to bear my soul and still I get shut in the face."
"The way I see it… We have three choices! You give up, drop out of school… Or you get mad." Jasper smirked.
Chop Suey- System Of a Down (0:30-0:42)
Remi stomped down the street, carrying her bag behind her with one arm. She waved her extra hand and the house lights of the houses around her crashed and faded quickly.
"Hey!" A house wife yelled after seeing her dead light bulb.
Remi snapped and the wheels of the cars passing by burst and stopped the car from moving any further.
"I just got these tires!" the driver yelled.
"She chose get mad… Right?" Jasper said to himself from the door step as she left.
Remi waved her hand largely before her, swinging the doors of Casper High violently and summoning a great and strong blow of wind and thunder storm into the hallways.
"Alright! Today's activity, we will be simulating parenting. In Wellness class, child care is a course that is minatory! So people, let's take it from the top!" Miss Felucca ordered, circling the classroom.
"Okay now Remi, you are a mother who has a child in her hands. A sweet temped child! And--." Miss Felucca was cut off.
"I know what I'm supposed to do, Miss Felucca." Remi interrupted.
"I know you know… I just want to make sure YOU KNOW what your supposed TO KNOW." "Danny here will be your partner for today and you two will try to feed this child and dress this child.
Remi glanced at Danny blinked, looking out the window blankly. Remi rolled her eyes.
"This is a team work! Ignore the stereotype of mothers doing all the work! The men must do work to. So Remi, just to recap all that I've said—
"I know what you said." Remi nodded.
"I know you know but I just want you to make sure you understand! Danny, the father, is going to help you take care of your child."
"Oh no, he's not. He's going to leave me to do all the work because men are self centered has beens." Remi nodded.
"Uh—no… No, Remi." "Danny here is going to help you feed the child and clean up the poop." The teacher smacked Remi on the back, making her lunge forward and rub her back. Remi lunged her shoulders forward, adjusting the position of her sleeves.
The clock ticked and Miss Felucca circled the classroom.
"Good… good…"
Danny grabbed the powder, examining it quickly.
Remi glanced at him and coughed, snapping her fingers, the powder exploded in his face.
Danny coughed, standing up. "Wh-what was that?!"
"Mister Fenton!!" She yelled at him. "Please contain yourself from PLAYING WITH THE POWDER!!"
"But I-I didn't play with it, I swear-I-I…" Danny stuttered.
"Get back to work, Fenton…"
"You had nothing to do with that did you?" Danny wiped his face with a towel, glancing at Remi.
"Me? Of course not, what am I? A witch?" Remi laughed.
Danny picked up an extra diaper, standing up and ready to place it on the bottom area of the plastic baby doll.
"Oooh." Remi sighed, snapping under the table and making the diaper fly in the air and arrange itself on Danny's head.
"Wh-what?!" Danny let go of the flying diaper and watch it wrap his head.
"Fenton! Not again with your lolly gagging!!"
Danny ripped it off his head. "I didn't—
Remi snapped once more, letting the bottle of oil levitate and shower his face thickly.
"Wh-what the! FENTOOOOOON!"
