ATTACK OF THE KILLER GARAGE SALE
It was Monday afternoon at Fenton Works, Jazz was in the kitchen giving a tutoring session to Dash Baxter although he was hardly concentrating on what Jazz was saying, he was too busy crushing on her.
"Dash you have to focus! I'm doing a thesis on tutoring the un-tutorable and your disproving my thesis that no-one's un-tutorable" Jazz said while frowning in annoyance.
"You know you're beautiful when you use whatever that word is" Dash said dreamingly.
Danny walked in the kitchen while taking a sip from a glass filled with soft drink.
"Hey Jazz" Danny said and his eyes went wide when they saw Dash sitting at the table.
"Dash? What are you doing here?" Danny asked as he placed his glass on the table.
Dayla then walked in and was also shocked to see Dash there as well, suddenly Danny's arm went intangible and fell through the table. As he fell through, he accidently knocked over the books that were stacked there and caused one of them to land on Dash's head.
"Watch it Fentonowski!" Dash threatened. Danny started to back away in fear, Dayla then came to the rescue and grabbed her brother's arm and exclaimed, "What's that dad? You want me and Danny? We'll be right down!" and then she dragged Danny downstairs to the lab.
"Now that those dorks are out of the way, you're coming to my party Saturday right? It'll be a chance for you to see me in my rightful setting, King of Casper High" Dash asked as he handed Jazz an invitation to his party.
"And a great place to work on my thesis on, the effects of being mean to my siblings and then asking me out" Jazz said, she then looked at the invite and suddenly an idea came to her head. She smiled and then said, "I'll go, on one condition"
As the twins entered the lab Danny said, "Thanks for the save Dayla"
"No problem. That's what twin sisters are for" Dayla said with a smile.
"Hey kids! Check out my latest invention in ghost grabbing technology, the Ghost Weasel!" Jack exclaimed as he showed off a device that kind of looked like mini vacuum.
"It collects any ghost energy and shoots it into the Ghost Zone" Jack explained further.
"Does it work?" Danny asked and then Jack answered, "Why wouldn't it? Only one way to find out"
Jack smiled as he flicked the switch to suck mode, the machine whirled to life and began to suck a lot of papers and Jack had pointed it everywhere losing control of it. Suddenly a Fenton Thermos was pulled by the force of the suction and it then blocked it.
Jack then tried to pull it out, but when he couldn't he shoved it in Danny's hand left the lab while exclaiming, "I better get the Fenton Unlodger!"
"Um couldn't he have just thrown it into reverse mode?" Dayla asked and then she pushed the button that said reverse.
The thermos then shot out like a bullet and hit the button that opens the Fenton Portal, the doors opened and suddenly a green skinned ghost, with crazy wild hair and a lab coat came out laughing evilly. Danny and Dayla stood there in shock as the ghost floated there, this can't be good.
"Children! You have freed me! Technus, ghost master of science and electrical technology!" The ghost exclaimed.
"Oh no you don't!" Danny exclaimed and then he and Dayla turned into their ghost forms and floated in the air, ready to fight this new enemy. Danny then continued, "You're not going to use the technology in this lab to take over the world!"
"What?" Technus asked, he then looked at his surroundings and then smiled as he said, "That's a great idea! Have you ever considered tutoring?"
"Danny a word of advice? When you're about to fight a bad guy, don't give him ideas!" Dayla exclaimed. She then tried charging at Technus, but suddenly he summoned a lightning rod and zapped her before she could even hit him. The force of the electrical current sent her flying backwards.
Danny caught her before she hit the wall and quickly asked, "Dayla are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine" Dayla said as she straightened back up.
Danny then noticed the Fenton Weasel, picked it up and turned it back on. He pointed it at Technus and sucked him in, more stuff came flying in and Danny lost control of it. It suddenly began to shake and rattle and suddenly, BOOM! Ectoplasm flew everywhere and the Fenton Weasel was officially now broken.
"Whoops!" Danny exclaimed and then Dayla said, "Well at least the ghost is gone"
"Kids, I'm coming back! And I can't wait to see the lab looking exactly as I left it!" Jack yelled out as he came down the stairs.
Danny and Dayla then phased out of the lab in a panic to avoid getting in trouble, Jack came down and looked at all the mess around, but instead of shouting in anger, he smiled and said, "Yep perfect'"
The next afternoon Danny, Dayla, Sam and Tucker were at a fast food restaurant called Nasty Burger, it was one of their usual after school hangouts where they could eat and relax. They were currently discussing what they were going to do on the weekend.
"So Saturday night plans? I say we hit the amusement park. I hear the new rollercoaster has a free fall, that'll take three years off your life expectancy" Sam suggested.
"No way! It cost forty bucks just to get in there, not to mention food and stuff" Tucker said.
"Hey if you're tapped out, I could lend you the cash" Sam said.
"Lend means repay and repay is out of my reach. Right Danny?" Tucker said to Danny, when he didn't get an answer he tried again, "Danny?"
All three of them then noticed why he wasn't paying attention, he was too busy looking at Dash handing out invites to his party on Saturday and as usual, they weren't invited to it. The party was only given out to the popular kids mostly.
"Great! It's the hottest party of the school year and almost everyone else is going and I'm not again" Danny groaned as he turned his attention back to the others.
"At least you no longer want to go, just because of Paulina" Dayla said.
"I just don't understand what you saw in her" Sam said, glaring at Paulina.
"That was before I found out how she was treating Dayla" Danny said.
"Hey why don't we get invited to the really cool parties? We've style, charm, good looks, at least I do anyway" Tucker said.
"Dream on! On the social circuit, we're as invisible as Danny and Dayla are in ghost mode. Not that'll it matter five years from now, but we'll have each other right?" Sam said.
"Exactly, Sam does make a point" Dayla said.
Suddenly, Dash slammed two invitations in Danny and Dayla's faces and then said, "Here! Your sister made me invite you two" He then looked at Sam and Tucker and said in bitterness, "Just you two! Show up, shut it, go home and nobody gets hurt"
He then left, Dayla simply ripped her invite in half and said, "Not going"
Danny smiled at his invite and then he started being noticed by the popular kids, they greeted him as they walked by, even Paulina talked to him!
"I'm invited! I've arrived!" Danny yelled happily as he continued to look at his invite.
"Swell, send us a postcard from Popularity Ville" Sam said sarcastically.
"I will!" Danny exclaimed and then left the restaurant in excitement, leaving the three of them for popularity.
Thursday arrived and Danny was definitely different. Ever since he got the invite to the party, he often ignored Dayla, Sam and Tucker to hang out with the popular kids.
"Seriously Danny, ever since you got that invitation your all about the in-crowd" Tucker said as the four them walked towards the school.
"Come on Tuck, that's ridiculous" Danny said and then he exclaimed as he saw Kwan, "Kwan! Looking good!"
Kwan then shouted back, "Fentonmeister! Whoo-hoo!"
"He's right Danny, it's like…" Dayla began to say but was cut off when Dash called Danny over and then she finished with a sigh as he ran over, "We're not even here"
After Dash left, Danny was looking worried as he looked at on outfit in a magazine Dash gave him. Apparently the sweats that were on it, is the outfit all the boys were going to be wearing to the party.
"Oh man, this must cost a fortune. Where am I going to get the money by Saturday?" Danny asked.
"You know, I almost hate to offer…" Sam began to say, but then was cut off when a girl shouted out for Danny to listen to her CD. Danny was once again gone in a flash.
"Okay this is getting really annoying!" Sam said frowning. Dayla had to agree with Sam, she was seeing Danny as a different person and not the brother she always knew, it was kind of sad for her.
Later that afternoon Dayla was sitting in the kitchen along with her parents and Jazz. Dayla was drawing in her sketch book, Jazz was reading a book, Maddie was testing out a new invention and Jack watched on in anticipation. Maddie pushed a button and the machine whirled to life, suddenly it began to shake and growling could be heard inside, it caused everyone to gaze up in alarm.
"Mum what are you making?" Jazz asked. Maddie smiled and answered, "Hot dogs"
"We invented a way to cook them ten times faster than a microwave" Jack explained. Maddie then lifted the lid and at first it seemed like there were perfectly cooked hot dogs, until they came to life with razor sharp teeth and tried to get out to attack. Maddie quickly closed the lid.
"Great, you figured out how to put the Frank back in Frankenstein" Jazz said frowning at her parents.
Danny then walked into the kitchen and asked Jack, "Hey dad, can you spare me some cash? I need to buy some clothes for Saturday"
"Danny, Danny, Danny. You know as inventors your mother and I have plenty of money" Jack began and then Maddie continued, "But as parents we understand, that you should understand the value of money. You want money, you got to earn it"
"You mean get a job?" Danny asked.
"That or sell something, like your old comic books or some other old junk you don't need" Jack said.
"Uh speaking of which, that junk from the Ghost Weasel explosion needs to go in the shed" Maddie said as she gestured to the two boxes filled with the results from the explosion and then she continued, "If there's room, that old barn hasn't been cleaned out in years"
Jack then hugged one of the boxes and exclaimed, "This is not junk! Every single item in these items is of vital importance to me"
Maddie then pulled out one of the pieces and asked, "Do you even know what this is?"
Jack examined it and then grabbed it back while answering, "Not a clue, but I know it's important so it's off to the shed"
He then passed one of the boxes to Danny, while he grabbed the other one. They placed the boxes in the shed and Jack then said before leaving, "You know maybe I should get rid some of this junk. Ah well that's a job for another day"
Before Danny left, he looked at the stuff in the shed and then an idea came to mind. His parents said he should sell something, so why not the stuff in the shed?
"Saturday's another day" Danny whispered and then he turned off the light and left the shed, unaware that the goo on the boxes began to glow an ominous glow. That can't be good!
On Saturday afternoon, Danny was holding a garage sale selling the junk from the shed. Dayla, Tucker and Sam were there helping him out.
"It's a perfectly good vacuum motor Mr Lancer. Only used once, ten bucks" Danny said as he held out the motor to Mr Lancer, he then examined it and smiled as he said while giving Danny the money, "Looks to be in fine shape, this should fix my hair hornet very nicely"
"Hair hornet? The crazy vacuum cleaner slash hair clipper they sell on TV? Don't you need hair for that?" Tucker asked in a joking matter, referring to Mr Lancer's baldness.
Mr Lancer gave him a glare and said, "Good one Mr Foley, I'll remember that on Monday when I'm grading tests"
"Tucker just because we're not in school right now, does not mean you can say that to a teacher" Dayla groaned out as she gave Danny some money she got from a customer.
Sam then gave Danny some money she got from a customer and said, "Just sold a toaster. You know I'm surprised your dad's letting you sell off all his stuff, he's such a pack-rat"
"Yeah well he's been planning on getting rid of this junk for a long time, he won't even miss it. I hope" Danny said. He then counted the money he got from the sale and said, "I'm still twenty bucks short on what I need for those sweats"
"You're still welcome to hang with us tonight. Mega movie marathon at Sam's place" Dayla said with hope.
"Your place Sam? Wow, you've never invited us to your place before, apart from Dayla anyway" Danny said with a bit of surprise.
"That's because we're usually fighting ghosts with you two. I figured it's time…" Sam said but was cut off when Dash yelled, "Hey Fentina!"
Danny immediately ran over and then Sam finished with a sigh, "For you to totally ignore me for about the billionth time this week"
"Jazz is giving me so much extra schoolwork that my computer's overloaded. Got anything that'll make it work?" Dash asked with a glare.
"Sure do. This motherboard and this Portals XL operating system will make it work like it's brand new" Danny explained as he handed Dash the two items. He then continued while giving him a computer disc, "Twenty bucks takes it all and I'll even throw in this upgrade disc"
"Done. See you tonight and just because I can't believe I'm saying this, I will say it again. See you tonight" He then gave Danny the money and walked off.
"Twenty bucks! I'm in! Oh man, I better get to the mall before the shops close" Danny said, he then ran over and said to the others, "You guys don't mind cleaning up for me do ya? Great! See ya!" and then he ran off to the mall.
"So now we're his clean-up crew too?" Sam bitterly asked, but then noticed that Tucker ran off shouting, "See you tonight!"
"Don't worry Sam, at least I'm here to help and there are some other advantages to having ghost powers" Dayla said as she turned into her ghost half, Sam smiled and in no time at all everything was packed up and they were off to Sam's house to get ready for their movie night. Before they left, Dayla pulled out her phone and sent Danny a text message, hoping that he would read it while he was at the party.
It was six-thirty when Tucker arrived, he rang the doorbell and Dayla opened the door and let him in while saying, "Hey Tucker, Sam's just ordered pizza"
"I sure hope they hustle, I'm starved" Tucker said, suddenly the doorbell rang. Sam opened it to reveal Nate a pizza delivery guy.
"Here's your pizza Sam" Nate said.
"Thanks Nate" Sam said and gave him ten dollars as a tip.
"Ten bucks! Thanks Sam" Nate said with a smile and then left.
Sam closed the door as Tucker asked, "You tipped the guy a ten-spot?"
"Whoops! I thought it was a one. Come on, we're watching movies downstairs" Sam said and then headed downstairs with Dayla.
Tucker followed them downstairs, he was shocked to see a very large theatre room with a popcorn machine and everything.
"This is your downstairs?" Tucker asked with amazement, Dayla chuckled at his shock.
"What? Too much?" Sam asked as she put the pizza's down on the bench.
Tucker nodded his head and then walked around smiling at everything in awe, Sam then said, "I know I should've told you and Danny this a long time ago, but my family's kind of filthy rich. Weird huh?"
"Woah time out! You're loaded? And Dayla did you already know about this?" Tucker asked.
"Yeah, I was the first one she told and I promised to keep it a secret for her. Since no offence there are times when boys are terrible at keeping secrets" Dayla answered first and then Sam answered, "My great-grandfather Izzy was an inventor, he invented that machine that twirls cellophane around deli toothpicks"
"You're the deli toothpick cellophane twirling heiress? No way!" Tucker said in amazement as he sat down on one of the theatre chairs.
"Look if this is too much for you, we can do something else" Sam suggested.
"Are you kidding?!" Tucker exclaimed.
Meanwhile, Danny was riding home from the mall on his electric scooter with the sweats in his arms. He looked down at the clothes and smiled as he exclaimed, "Popularity here I come!"
Suddenly his ghost sense went off and he stopped when a hair hornet machine ripped off his helmet. It then turned around and charged at Danny, he managed to dodge out the way while dropping the clothes on the ground, it then wrapped its electrical cord around his waist and lifted him up into the air. It then tried to charge at him, but he caught its cord by his feet and then it extended its blades and tried again. He narrowly dodged each strike it threw at him.
"Hey I just my hair the way I like it! On my head!" Danny exclaimed, it then held him to the ground and suddenly became a giant single blade, ready to chop him up. He then shouted, "And I'm way too young to shave!"
The blade prepared to come down, but just at the last minute Danny went into ghost mode and slipped out of the rope just as it was about to cut him in half. He shouted as he floated in the air, "Okay it's a haircut! Not a head cut!"
He then charged at it, it went back to being a normal shaver and he punched it to the ground. It turned around and then changed into a giant pair of scissors, it then charged at him with the intention of cutting him in half, but Danny managed to dodge it by splitting himself in half. He then grabbed onto the electrical cord and held onto it as it went through some nearby buildings, Danny then pulled it to a stop and spun it in a circle a few times before throwing it away. He then looked down and noticed a truck coming down the road, it was about to run over his party clothes! He quickly flew down and grabbed them just before the truck reached them.
He changed back into human form and glanced down at the piece of cord that the hair hornet left behind, he then picked up his helmet and scooter and continued on his way home.
"I know I should be concerned and I will be, right after the party" Danny said in his head.
Meanwhile back at Sam's house, Tucker continually asked Sam questions about Sam's wealth. It was starting to get annoying.
"Tucker are we watching movies or not?" Sam asked with annoyance.
"Okay, okay. Just a few more questions. Could you buy a plane?" Tucker said.
"Yep" Sam answered.
"A yacht?" Tucker then asked.
"Yep" Sam answered.
"A bowling alley?" Tucker asked.
"Nope" Sam answered, she then pushed a button on a remote which opened the walls behind them to reveal a bowling alley. Tucker looked on in shock as Sam said, "There's no place to put a second one"
Sam's grandmother then came in on her mobility scooter and threw a bowling ball in the lane, Dayla clapped as she bowled a strike and shouted, "Nice strike Grandma Manson!"
"Thanks dearie! Woopie! Bubie's hot tonight!" Grandma Manson shouted in excitement, Sam then closed the walls.
Tucker then sniffed the air and said, "That's weird. Because you don't smell stinking rich"
Sam scoffed in annoyance and said as she sat down, "Will you knock it off? That's the whole reason I didn't tell anybody else"
"But I don't get it. With all this money, why do you hang out with us and Danny? If flash a little bit of this bling, bling you'd be Miss Popularity" Tucker said.
"I don't need popularity Tucker, especially if I have to buy it" Sam said.
"You should tell that to Danny, he's the one who kind of needs that lesson right now" Dayla said with a bit of sadness.
"I know, I mean can you believe people actually spent good money on all that old junk from your parents shed?" Tucker asked.
Sam gave a small smile as she pulled out a glowing remote, "Well I did snag this cool remote for three bucks and he did give Dash a pretty good deal on the computer stuff"
"True. But I still miss Danny hanging out with us" Dayla said with a sigh, they both gave a sympathetic look and then started the movie.
Meanwhile back at the Fenton's home, Jazz walked to the fridge to get something to eat, but when she opened the fridge she screamed as she saw the monstrous hot dogs in there and then she slammed it close.
"Great, left overs" Jazz said bitterly as she frowned about her parents.
She then saw Danny slide in showing off his outfit to her while asking, "Well is the bomb? Is it fresh? Is it stupid with an o-o?"
"Oh it's stupid, I'll give you that" Jazz said, disliking what her brother was wearing.
"You'll change your tune when you see me at the party. When are you changing?" Danny asked.
"Not changing, not going" Jazz simply answered. Danny then exclaimed, "What?! You're the only reason Dash invited me!"
"Not caring" Jazz said and then she jumped when she heard Jack yell, "CODE YED!"
"And not staying" Jazz said and then left the kitchen.
Jack then ran in the kitchen in a panic exclaiming, "Somebody raided the junk shed while we were away!" He then grabbed Danny by the arms and asked, "Danny did you see anything?"
"Uh no, no. Not a thing but…" Danny lied while getting out of Jack's grip and then continued before leaving the kitchen, "We should compare notes once we get home from the party. Bye!"
On the way to Dash's house, Danny pulled out his phone to check the time when he saw a message notification from Dayla. He opened it up and read, "Hey Danny, hope you have a good time at the party tonight. I just hope you still remember who your real friends are. Dayla"
He then put his phone away and continued on the way to Dash's house, his mind thinking about his sister's message. He finally arrived and rang the doorbell. Feeling excited about his opportunity to become popular, but when Dash opened the door he noticed he wasn't wearing sweats like Danny, but he was wearing Danny's usual everyday outfit.
"Eh Dash?" Danny asked in confusion.
"Oh right, you're not really part of my posse so you didn't get the email. You see after buying that computer stuff, I didn't have enough money to buy the sweat suit so I changed the dress code to loser style" Dash explained and gestured to everyone else.
Everyone was wearing clothing the same as what Sam, Danny, Dayla and Tucker usually wear every day.
"Oh swell" Danny said unenthusiastically as he entered the room, Paulina then walked up to him wearing Goth clothing like Sam and said cheerfully, "You like it? It's so horrible it's cool!"
She then looked at him disgust at his outfit and asked rudely, "Ugh! Who dressed you? Your mum?"
But before Danny could answer, she walked away from him and joined the other guests. Danny then sighed as he began to realise that maybe coming to this party wasn't the best idea, unaware that something ghostly was happening upstairs in Dash's bedroom.
It turns out Technus survived the explosion and was spread into every bit of technology that was in the shred, he then shouted evilly as a robotic version of his face, appeared on Dash's computer screen, "Yes! It is time! Calling all mechanized spirits, come to me my minions! It is time to fulfil my destiny!"
The computer then floated ad began to glow an ominous green, Technus then sent an electrical current all through town, taking control of all the technological junk that Danny sold in the garage sale. Back at Sam's place, the three were watching a kung-fu film but then the same scene kept on repeating from some reason.
"Tucker if your gonna watch a part all over again, could please tell me first?" Sam asked in annoyance.
"Me? Your then one messing with the remote" Tucker said. All three of them then became shocked as the remote floated and glowed.
"Okay Sam, do all your remotes do that?" Dayla asked. Sam then shook her head and answered, "No, well my toaster does but it's from Denmark. The stuff Danny was selling must've been contaminated with ghost stuff!"
The remote zapped the popcorn machine, causing it to explode popcorn everywhere and then it zapped the soft drink machine making the soft drink come out like a fountain. The remote then flew out the house intangibly, the three of them ran outside and watched in panic as different types of technology flew through the air.
"Looks bad, probably a job for both the Phantom Twins" Tucker said, Sam then said, "Probably and if I wasn't so mad at him, I'd probably care that it's going to interrupt his big jock party"
All three of them smiled at that part, Dayla then turned into her ghost form and then they headed off, following the technology to wherever it was going. Meanwhile back at the party, Danny had tried socialising with the popular kids, but nothing worked due to that they kept on ignoring him.
He slumped in defeat and then began walking upstairs while saying, "What am I doing? These people aren't my friends, even though they all look like them. Man I wish Dayla, Tucker and Sam were here. It's lonely being popular, Dayla was right"
He then sighed and then gasped as his ghost sense went off, right in front of Dash's room. He opened the door and then gasped in fright to see a lot of technology fusing together and creating a large black and green robot.
"I am Technus! Master of all things mechanical and once I complete my construction, you will all succumb to my awesome pow…" Technus began to announce but was interrupted when he began to malfunction and glitch.
"What is wrong with me?!" Technus yelled.
Dash then noticed the upgrade disc he sold to Dash and realised that he hadn't upgraded the software on his computer yet, which is causing Technus to glitch.
"Oh no you don't! You're not getting that upgrade disc and making yourself more powerful" Danny exclaimed as transformed into his ghost form.
"What? Another great idea! Forget tutoring, you should be a teacher!" Technus said as he smiled at the fact, the young halfa had just helped him again with his schemes.
Danny then charged to grab the upgrade disc, but a toaster came out of Tehcnus's shoulder and blasted a ghost ray at him, hitting him dead on and stopping him from grabbing it. The force of the blast forced Danny back, he quickly turned intangible and flew right into Dash's closet where he was surrounded by football jackets and hundreds of cute little purple and pink teddy bears.
He flew out of the closet and stomped on Technus before he could grab the disc, which caused Dash's bed to break in half, Danny was suddenly karate chopped by him and hit the wall causing the pictures that hung there to fall off.
"You are a formidable opponent, but a little wet behind the ears. Perhaps you could use a little drying up" Technus said, a claw then came out of his chest where a dryer had fused to him.
The claw grabbed Danny and pulled him in, shutting the door and trapping him inside. The dryer then began to spin him around and then he was flung out, hitting Dash's desk and destroying it. He groaned in pain and then charged at Technus again, sending him to the wall. As Technus stood up, Danny watched as the upgrade disc was inserted into himself and the download was complete making him more powerful than ever, but that doesn't mean Danny was going to give up. He grabbed Technus and shoved him out of the house intangibly, thinking it was better to take the fight outside.
Dayla, Sam and Tucker arrived at an alleyway that was nearby Dash's house, where the more technology was heading too. Tucker ran up and shouted, "Guys I got the Fenton Thermos!"
"Everything is gravitating here at Dash's house" Sam said.
Dayla then said as she smiled, "Which means whatever fun Danny's having, will be coming to an end soon"
They then heard a huge noise and then suddenly Danny came yelling while flying backwards and hitting the wall. He looked at them wearily and said, "Hi guys, glad you could make it" and then he fell to the ground unconscious.
They turned around and their eyes widened to see a giant Technus coming out of the alleyway. Technus then screamed out, "I am Technus! Master of technology and destroyer of worlds! Behold my awesome electronic fury! Who's your daddy?!"
Danny then woke up, growled in frustration and then charged at the powerful ghost, only to be knocked backwards a bit, he then tried kicking him but it didn't work and then he tried throwing a bunch of mini punches, but Technus simply wacked him straight to the ground. Sam, Tucker and Dayla looked down at him in shock.
"Guys help!" Danny pleaded and then he charged at Technus again.
Sam, Tucker and Dayla then turned their backs on him and ignored his pleas, that's sort of what you get for ignoring your friends for the past week.
"Come on guys!" Danny again pleaded as he was hit to the ground again, he then charged again only to be hit back down. He then exclaimed, "Guys come on! Seriously!" But nothing worked, they continued to ignore him.
He then flew up and dodged more of Technus's attacks and said, "I'm sorry I chose hanging with the popular kids over you guys! Dayla you were right! It was stupid and shallow and I'll never do it again!" He was then punched back to the ground.
All three of them gave each other satisfactory smiles, showing Danny that they forgave him and then Sam asked, "How can we be of assistance?"
"He's running an old version of Portals XL" Danny explained as he stood up.
Sam scoffed and said, "That piece of vapourware! It's the worst software ever"
Tucker then looked up at Technus and then said, "You and Dayla keep him busy, I think I know a way to beat him"
"That we can do" Dayla said and then she and her brother flew up to Technus.
"Get back you hunk of my dad's junk!" Danny screamed at the ghost.
"Could mere junk do this?" Technus exclaimed and then pulled out a remote. He pointed it at the two and pushed the button, Danny was suddenly in a cowboy outfit and Dayla was in a karate uniform, he pushed the button again and this time Danny was a female game show host and Dayla was a knight, Technus then pushed the button one more time and this Danny was some guy from Star Trek and Dayla looked like Indiana Jones.
"Give me that!" Dayla shouted annoyed and then she snatched the remote away, she clicked the button and turned her and Danny back to normal.
Two claws then grabbed them both and held them against the brick wall of a building.
"Tucker any time!" Danny shouted, they both then heard Tucker shout, "I'm tyring! I'm trying!"
"What's wrong?" Sam asked with worry.
"I'm trying to bypass the program on my PDA, but I can't! He must've upgraded" Tucker said, while typing away at his PDA. Technus continued to slam Danny and Dayla against the wall back and forth repeatedly.
"What do we do?" Sam asked.
"We need the latest version of Portals XL. But where are we going to get it at this time of night?" Tucker said, Sam smiled and then pulled out her phone while saying, "Leave it to me"
She then dialled a number and made a phone call and in two seconds, a delivery woman named Tracy came on a motor scooter and gave her the latest version of Portals XL while saying, "Here you go Sam"
"Thanks Tracy" Sam said as she gave her some money.
Tucker then got everything ready on his PDA, while Sam walked up to Technus and asked, "Excuse me? I'm Sam, I don't believe I caught your name. Perhaps you should scream it really loud and shout out your motives"
"Hello. I am Technus! Manipulator of machines! Lord of all gadgetry! Wizard of integrated circuitry!" Technus shouted, he was falling into Sam's trap. While he was distracted Sam plugged in a lead to his robotic body while asking, "Go on isn't there more you like to tell me?"
"Oh yes! I am also master of all…" Technus began to say, until he started to glitch and malfunction again.
"What's happening?" Danny asked.
The lead ran all the way to Tucker's PDA and he began to start a shutdown on Technus's body while explaining, "Portals XL is happening! Everybody knows that every new version of Portals XL, has a gigantic hole in its security system"
"What?! No!" Technus screamed as he continued to glitch. The claws let go of Danny and Dayla, Danny then grabbed the claw and shouted, "Process this!"
He then shoved the claw inside the disc insert hole, which caused an error in his system and then Technus screamed, "WAIT! THAT DOESN'T GO THERE!"
He then completely shut down and lost all of his power. Tucker then pulled out the Fenton Thermos and tossed it to Dayla, she opened the lid, pushed the button and pointed the capture device at Technus, who screamed as he was sucked from the robotic body and into the thermos and then Dayla closed the lid.
With Technus now gone, the robot fell apart and became the junk from Jack's shed once again. Danny and Dayla flew down to their friends, Sam then said with a smile, "Nice going Tuck"
"Don't thank me, thank lousy software" Tucker as he held up the upgrade disc in his hand.
It was now Monday at Casper High and Danny was back to hanging out with Dayla, Sam and Tucker, he had definitely learned his lesson the hard way and he was just glad to be with his real friends. As for the other three, they were just glad to have him back and no longer ignoring them for the popular kids.
"So what's the damage from this weekend? Did you get in trouble for taking your folks stuff?" Tucker asked Danny as they walked down the hallway.
"Not really. Dayla and I hauled it all back to the shed yesterday while they were out, our dad's checking every piece for government surveillance devices" Danny said.
"He's even training those hot-dogs to be security guards. I'm never seen him so paranoid like that, it was kind of funny to watch" Dayla said with a laugh.
"Sounds like you got off pretty easy" Sam said.
"Well I do have to return those stupid sweats, so I can refund everybody's money" Danny said and then he looked down and continued, "And I still feel terrible about the way I treated you guys, of all people I should know how it feels to be invisible"
"It's okay Danny, you now have definitely made up for it. I'm just glad to have the old Danny back" Dayla said as she patted his shoulder. Danny smiled at his sister for that, she always knew how to make him feel better when he's down.
"So would you say you learned a lesson from all this?" Sam asked as she leaned against her locker.
Danny smiled as he gestures them all to look at Dash, who was still wearing the clothes he wore to the party. Dash opened his locker and suddenly all the teddy bears that were in his closet, came out of his locker and landed on the ground.
"FENTON!' Dash shouted in anger.
"Yep. That one person's trash, is another person's revenge" Danny answered and then they all laughed at the prank he pulled on Dash.
