Scene 9
(After they have finished the cake, Sam, Danny, and Christa start to talk again. Danny and Sam have been a little suspicious and staring at her a little too much.)
Christa: (uncomfortable because of the staring and silence) "I've got to go."
Sam: "Do you have to use the bathroom again?"
Christa: "No, I have to leave."
Sam: (embarrassed) "Oh, my bad. Ok, see you at school!"
Danny: "Bye!" (Sam opens the door, and Christa walks out. Then, Sam closes the door and walks over to Danny. Meanwhile, Christa has changed into a ghost.)
Christa: "I wonder what they thought of me. They seem to know something I don't. Why did they keep staring at me? Did they hear my rant from the bathroom? What if they did and think I'm a ghost? No, they probably would just think I'm weird and watch too much TV. I've got to spy on those two just in case." (Christa turns invisible and spies on Danny and Sam.)
Danny: "Why'd we invite her again?"
Sam: "Because she's new. Besides, she looked gothic."
Danny: "Well, don't do it again. I couldn't stand her. She's weird."
Sam: "Danny! How could you say that? It's my house. She was weird, though."
Danny: (reluctantly) "I guess I better go."
Sam: (Said in a different-from-normal way without eye contact.) "You better because you've caused enough trouble on my birthday. Bye!" (Danny walks out the door, looks around, and goes ghost.)
Danny: "Happy birthday again! (to himself) If you care. (to Sam) See you at school. Oh, did I mention happy birthday?"
Sam: (A smile passes through her face.) "Only a million times!"
Christa: (to herself) "What?! They thought I was weird and hated me? That's mean. That Paulina girl was right, though. Sam does hang around the ghost boy. The reason Danny always seems to be where the ghost boy appears is because he IS the ghost boy! But, Danny's the ghost boy?! How?! This is going to be tough as long as he likes that Sam girl. I must explore his home." (Danny has flown off home and gone back to bed. Meanwhile, Christa explores Danny's house only to find the ghost portal.)
(End of Scene 9)
Scene 10
(Christa is outside the ghost portal.)
Christa: "What's this?! A portal that leads to the ghost zone? This family is full of surprises. This could come in handy." (Christa disappears into the ghost zone after turning it on.)
(End of Scene 10)
Scene 11
(Christa returns with a strange ghost. This short ghost with curly gold hair is wearing wings and has a bow with some arrows. He's wearing pink boxers with read hearts on them, but no shirt.)
Christa: "Cupid, I need you to make someone fall in love with me."
Cupid: "Who?"
Christa: "His name is Danny Fenton."
Cupid: "Are you talking about the ghost boy, Danny Phantom, every female ghost likes. I've had thousands of girls come ask me to have him fall in love with them. None of which can direct me to him, only a few knew what he looked like, and nobody could pay me. So, I stopped taking requests for the ghost boy."
Christa: (smiling) "That's the one. I will be able to pay you."
Cupid: "Can you direct me to him? You'll need to pay me in advance."
Christa: "I'll show you were he is. Come with me." (Christa and Cupid go to Danny's bedroom and hover over his bed, talking in whispers.)
Cupid: "That's the ghost boy?! He's nothing but a puny human."
Christa: "Yes, that's him."
Cupid: "I've changed my mind."
Christa: (alarmed) "You won't make him fall in love with me?"
Cupid: (laughing) "What I meant was I'll do it free of charge, but, on one condition. (quickly) coughYou must agree to choose me over him if things don't work out…cough (changes subject) How could this…this…boy stop the most powerful ghosts?"
Christa: (sadly) "I don't know. He defeated my father…(excited) You'll make him fall in love with me for free? It must be my lucky day. Things were turn out ok for me and Danny. I'm sure, so I agree with your condition. Thanks, Cupid."
Cupid: "Yeah, yeah! Whatever your highness. (Bows) When do you want me to shoot him with a love arrow?"
Christa: "During school tomorrow. I'm dressing as a stupid, shy human."
Cupid: "I'll follow you around school. Can't Danny sense your presence?"
Christa: "Not as long as I wear this jewel." (Holds up necklace. Christa and Cupid make their plans.)
(End of Scene 11)
Scene 12
(Danny is at school and has just noticed Sam. He's in for a long day, though he doesn't know it yet.)
Danny: "Sam! Is tucker still ill?"
Sam: (Still mad at Danny) "Unfortunately, yes." (Danny's ghost sense activates.)
Danny: "Is that my ghost sense?"
Sam: "I don't see a ghost."
Danny: "I don't either. Oh, well, it's probably just a harmless ghost passing through because I don't hear any screams. (Danny and Sam go their separate ways to class. Cupid pops up and shoots Danny with an arrow as Christa walks by. Danny gives Christa the same puppy-love look he gives Paulina to Christa.) Hi Christa!"
Christa: "Hi!" (Danny sees Cupid laughing.)
Danny: "Um, I got to go. I'll see you later. We should hang out sometime."
Christa: "We should. See you!" (Danny rushes behind a tree.)
Danny: "Going ghost! (Danny flies out to fight Cupid.) Who are you?"
Cupid: "I'm Cupid, see ya! Have fun with love! It's a great feeling." (Cupid disappears in red smoke shaped like a heart.)
Christa: (yelling) "Hey, you're that ghost I saw!"
Danny: (pretending not to know her) "Who are you?"
Christa: "I'm Christa Phantom to be. Want to go out to eat?"
Danny: "Ew, go out to eat with you? Danny Phantom is um..too busy to date. What do you mean by Phantom to be? Bye. I'm out of here. (Danny flies behind a tree.) Did I just have feeling for Christa two minutes ago? Wait…Cupid…He didn't? No, he couldn't have hit me with a love arrow because I still don't like Christa. What did he mean by 'Have fun with love!'? I'm confused. (Danny returns normal and heads to class when he sees Christa and runs over.) (to Christa) Want to grab a bite to eat at the Nasty Burger, Christa? I never realized how pretty you really are until now." (Sam, who forgot to tell Danny something, had headed back and saw the whole fight with Danny and the ghost and came running only to catch Danny asking Christa out. She was confused.)
Christa: "Sure, got to go." (Christa goes to class.)
Sam: "What was that all about?"
Danny: "I'm in love with Christa." (A dreamy look is in his eyes.)
Sam: "She's too old for you. I thought you hated her."
Danny: "I changed my mind."
Sam: "You're sister won't approve of this."
Danny: "I don't care what my sister thinks."
Sam: "You're still mad at her, aren't you? Who was that ghost you were fighting?"
Danny: "What ghost?"
Sam: "Never mind." (Sam knew something was up. Danny and Sam again go their separate ways to class. Sam stops to talk to Jazz in whispers on her way.)
(End of Scene 12)
Scene 13
(Jazz just found out that Danny likes Christa.)
Jazz: "She's too old for you. And she's weird!"
Danny: "I don't care."
Jazz: "You're not going to the Nasty Burger with Christa. You can call her and tell her you're not coming."
Danny: "We'll see about that." (Danny marches to his room and locks the door. He then, goes ghost.)
Danny: "…Wait a sec., what was I thinking? Was I just going to go on a date with Christa? I'm crazy. What was I thinking? Who was the ghost I fought last time? I'm the one from crazy land! (changes human) I've got a date with Christa right now…Was I just thinking of canceling it? (goes ghost) Wait…I can't make up my mind. What am I thinking? (goes human) I want to meet Christa, but I seem to be having major mental issues, so I'll just stay home. (softly) Sorry Christa, I stood you up. (to himself) I need to clear my mind. (goes ghost and flies around outside for a few minutes not thinking about anything and comes back inside only to turn human again.) What was I just thinking five minutes ago? I forget. I'm losing my mind! I am from crazy land!"
(End of scene 13)
