The Phantom Prince of Egypt
Chapter 3: Banquet Party
Later afternoon, Danny was walking slowly in the hall where giant statues of the Pharaoh stood. He was busy whistling a tune he heard when he was a baby while sewing a small sack. On top of a statue, Dan sat there sulking after his argument with his father.
Danny leaned against the statue where his brother was. "Well, that went well."
"Just go away. Leave me in peace." Dan muttered.
"Hey, come on. It could've been worse." Danny shrugged.
"The weak link in the chain. That's what he called me! You heard him!" Dan said angrily.
Danny felt sorry for his adoptive brother since the scolding they got from Pariah. "Well, what can I say? You are rather pathetic."
Dan then added, "Not only that! Irresponsible, ignorant of the traditions! He practically accused me of bringing down the dynasty! Can you believe that?"
After Danny finished sewing up his makeshift sack, he replied, "Oh, yeah, I can see it now. There go the pyramids!" He laughed at his joke as he walked towards a wine bowl at a table.
Dan then jumped off the statue and shot at him, "Oh, sure! You can laugh about it!"
"Statues cracking and toppling over, the Nile drying up. Single-handedly, you will manage to bring the greatest kingdom on Earth to ruin." Danny joked as he scooped the sack in the wine bowl and filled it with up the drink. He tied the sack up and made his way to the edge of balcony.
Dan followed him and asked him, annoyed, "Tell me this, Danny! Tell me this! Why is it that every time you start something, I'm the one who ends up in trouble?"
He leaned over the balcony while he held the wine-filled sack out. Danny then grinned and whispered to him. "Let me answer that question with this." He suddenly dropped the sack like a water balloon with a big smirk on his face. A big splash was heard at the bottom along with loud groans.
"Oh, man! Are you kidding me?!"
Danny ducked behind the balcony while Dan looked down to see Hotep Ra and Walker drenched in wine and covered in slices of citrus fruit.
The priests wiped the wine off their faces and looked up. Hotep Ra yelled to him in anger, "Ah, Dan Phantom! You're in trouble, young man!"
"Prince Dan Phantom, get down here! I think you owe us an apology!" Walker called to him.
"Oh, my new wraps!" Hotep Ra groaned as he shook the wine off his mummy wraps.
"I am so upset!" Walker shouted. "Wait til I get my hands on you!"
Dan backed up nervously and gasped a little, worried about being reprimanded by Pariah Dark again. He turned around and found Danny standing next to him and holding the wine bowl in his arms. "You might as well." Danny shrugged with a grin.
"Well, life is short." Dan chuckled a little and took the bowl from him.
"You'll pay for this!" Hotep Ra shouted.
"We're going to tell the Pharaoh!" Walker called to him. "When he finds out about this, he'll deal with you without mercy!"
"Hey, drinks are on the house! Or in this case, on you!" Dan gave the priests a big smirk and dumped the entire bowl of wine down and priests were drenched in it.
"OOOOOHHHH!" the priests both groaned loudly.
Hotep Ra groaned, "Ugh, look at me! I'm drenched again!"
"Not again!" Walker groaned.
Dan placed the bowl down with pride and dusted his hands.
Danny thought for a moment and said, "Hey, I figured it out! You know what your problem is, Dan?"
"What?" Dan asked him as they started walking together. Dan answered, "You care too much. It's not healthy."
"And your problem is you don't care at all. Now, that's not healthy." Dan laughed as he put his hand on Danny's head and messed up his wig.
The halfa laughed and took off the wig, revealing his true black, hat hair. He laughed as he put the wig back on his head and fixed it. "Oh, in that case, I suppose you care a lot more than I do that we're... late for the banquet, for example."
Dan came to a stop and had a shocked look on his face.
Minutes later, the brothers were rushing down to the banquet hall. Danny was moving Dan to the curtains while their servant Bertrand was trying to adjust Danny's wig, but Danny shoved him away in annoyance.
Dan said nervously "I'm dead. I'm so dead! I'm done for. Father will kill me!"
Danny assured him, "Don't worry. Nobody will even notice us coming in." He pulled back the curtain and they both went through it, and they saw Pariah Dark and Pandora standing by them and all nobility and citizens of Egypt were applauding for them. Dan looked at Basil and sarcastically said under his breath, "Nobody will even notice."
Danny chuckled nervously. "Oops." Then Queen Pandora came over to them happily.
"Ah, the young princes." She said as she embraced her two sons. She looked at Dan and whispered to him with a frown, "Dan, you were just been named prince regent. You are now responsible for overseeing the temples. I suggest you get over there and thank your father." Dan went over to where Pariah Dark was with a smile, happy about his new role and for what his father was doing for him.
Danny and Pandora applauded and the queen said to him, "Apparently, Danny, someone thought he... just needed the opportunity." Danny knew she was referring to Pariah Dark and that he came to his senses about what he told him about Dan needing his approval.
He came over to Dan and Pariah and said with a smile, "My lord Pharaoh. I propose that the high priests offer tribute to their new regent." He gestured them to one of the tables, where Walker was taking a drink of wine and Hotep Ra was eating some fruit.
Pariah smiled, "An excellent idea." He called out to the priests, "Hotep Ra! Walker!"
Hotep Ra nearly choked on his food and Walker spat out his wine in surprise. They thought of what to do and Hotep Ra whispered to him, "Walker. The Goth girl."
Walker agreed, "That's a good idea!"
"Go get her." Hotep Ra said as he rushed to the center of the hall and Walker ran off to fetch the girl.
Danny and Dan sat on the steps as the lights dimmed and a spotlight shined on Hotep Ra. He announced, "By the power of Ra, we present for your delectation and delight, an exotic apparition stolen from a faraway land." He threw something on the ground and made smoke appear as he twirled a ball of smoke attached to a rope around it. In an instant, a bunch of colored walls appeared and Hotep Ra moved away to show what he and Walker had for Dan. The walls came down, revealing a young 14 year old girl on a female red eyed, blue dragon with green horns and back scales while Walker held a long rope that tied to her wrists.
She has short black hair with a small ponytail at the top of her head held back by a green hair tie, violet eyes, and violet lipstick. Her clothing consists of a black tank top exposing her midriff with a purple oval in the center, a black skirt with a violet sash, a pair of gold bracelets around her wrists, earrings, and anklets. Dan and Danny looked at the girl in amazement.
Hotep Ra announced as he took the rope from Walker, "We offer you this delicate desert flower." He yanked the rope and pulled the Goth girl, known as Sam, off of her dragon companion, Dora, and had her stand in front of the princes.
Dan came over to her with a smirk and said, "Well, let us inspect this desert flower. She's a beauty." He gripped her face and Sam snapped her teeth at him. The ghost prince quickly brought his hand away before she could bite him and said, "But deadly like a desert cobra!"
Danny chuckled, "Not much of a snake charmer, are you, bro?"
Dan gave Danny a smirk and said, "That's why I give her to you." He lightly shoved Danny up to Sam.
Danny stammered, "No, no, no. That's very generous of you, but-"
Sam growled at him, "I won't be given to anyone!" Sam growled at him. "And especially to an arrogant, pampered palace ghost brat!" Dan chuckled at her backtalk and the guest all laughed.
He whispered to Danny, "Are you going to let her talk to you like that?" Danny came up to Sam and said to her sternly while pointing at her, "You will show the proper respect for a prince of Egypt!"
Sam glared at him, "But I am showing all the respect you deserve... none!" She tugged the rope out of Walker's hands and twirled around to hit the princes with it.
The guards, Fright Knight and Bullet, were about to come over to make her stop, but Danny ordered them to stop. "No, wait!" He leaped over to where Sam was and grabbed the rope. "Be still!" he said to her.
Sam yelled at Danny as she pulled on the rope, "Untie this rope! I demand you set me free!"
"Be still!" Danny said as tried to get a good hold of the rope. "Let go!" Sam demanded him. Danny looked behind her and said to her with a devious smirk, "As you wish." He lets go of the rope and Sam fell backwards with a loud yelp and landed in the pool. The guests and Danny all laughed at her and he looked behind to see Pariah and Pandora frowning at him.
The Queen looked at him with a look of disappointment until she looked away from him, embarrassed at how he treated Sam. Dan came over to Danny, laughing. "Priceless!" He called out to Bertrand who was helping Sam out of the pool, "You there! Have her dried off and sent to Prince Danny's chambers!"
He then turned to face Pariah Dark and said to him, "If it pleases you, Father, my first act as regent is to appoint Danny as royal chief architect!" He took of his turquoise ring and placed on Danny's finger and the guests applauded for them.
Danny looked at the ring and smiled, happy about his adoptive brother's first plan and his new job. He looked over to Sam, who was draped in a towel and soaking wet while Bertrand was guiding her out of the hall.
She looked back at Danny with a glare as she adjusted her ponytail. Danny looked at her with regret, realizing what he did to her.
"Oh, boy."
