Scene 33

(Scene switches back to Christa and Paulina.)

Christa: "Well then, follow (She spots the recording device and pauses for a moment. She decides to pretend not to see.) me. (She takes Paulina to a room full of guards.) Now, where did you get that?"

Paulina: (Pretending not to know.) "Get what?"

Christa: (Knocks Paulina against the wall with her ghost powers.) "Don't play dumb, the recording device."

Paulina: (Whispering) "Guys, guys, come in, she knows. Do you read me? Over."

Jazz: (Through device) "We hear you loud and clear. What can we do to help?"

Paulina: (Screaming) "GET ME OUT OF…" (The signal is lost.)

Jazz: (Scene goes to Jazz and Sam.) "Paulina, can you hear me? Paulina?" (Jazz is turning knobs and pushing buttons trying to get some sort of signal back.)

Sam: "I knew she was too scared."

Jazz: "She's doing the best she can. How would you like to be trapped in there by yourself with a million ghosts that want to tear you to shreds?"

Sam: "I've been in the same situation a couple times before."

Jazz: "Right, and you never get out of it by yourself. You relied completely on Danny. She can't even rely on Danny this time. He's being contro…"

Sam: (Interrupts while yelling) "I know, I know! Don't try to make me feel sorry for her. I'll go in."

Jazz: "So will I, using the Fenton Peeler."

Sam: "What can I use?"

Jazz: "Here's the Fenton Fisher."

Sam: "Ok, I guess this will do. Now all we need is a plan."

Jazz: (Looking at the mansion) "You enter through the highest window and make your way down to the ball room, I'm sure that's where they are holding the wedding. Every mansion has to have one. Once you're there, try snooping around, and see if you can find her necklace."

Sam: "And what will you do?"

Jazz: "I will slip in the front and try to find Paulina. Once I do, I'll meet you in the ball room. It would be nice if we had a map, though."

Sam: "Leave it to me. (Sam gets out her cell phone.) Tucker and Danny were exploring the Ghost Zone about a week ago using Frostbite's map. They were trying to map different locations, and they may have found this mansion. I'm sure it was abandoned before, or we would've known sooner. (Talks in phone.) Hey Tuck, it's Sam."

Tucker: (through phone) "Oh, hi Sam."

Sam: "When you were exploring the Ghost Zone the other day, did you happen to explore the Pariah's mansion? And, if so, did you happen to map the building?"

Tucker: "Actually, yes and yes. Danny and I just had to explore a mansion that big."

Sam: "Can you download a map of the Pariah mansion?"

Tucker: "Sure, but it will take some time."

Sam: "When you find it, send it to mine and Jazz's cell phones."

Tucker: "Ok, Sam. Why?"

Sam: "We wanted to explore it…Thanks Tucker, hope you get better soon."

Tucker: "Thanks, bye."

Sam: "Bye. (Sam hangs up the phone and talks to Jazz.) Alright, let's go."

Jazz: "Wait! We need some form of communication instead of just using our cell phones."

Sam: "Ok, then get the head phone/microphone combo, and let's go." (Sam climbs a tree and throws some fishing line up to the highest window. She climbs up and drops into what looks like the ball room.)

Jazz: (speaking through microphone) "What do you see?"

Sam: "It's dark, but I think I have a flashlight in my backpack." (She bends down to open her backpack when the door opens. Sam hides against a wall. Christa enters.)

Christa: (to guard #1) "This must remain secret. Put it somewhere safe."

Guard #1: "Yes, my queen." (He says this as he takes the necklace from Christa. He goes out of the room with Christa close behind. Sam follows in the shadows into a hallway. Christa takes a different path then the guard.)

Sam: (on microphone to Jazz) "I found the necklace. How are you doing?"

Jazz: "I found Paulina, but she's locked up and I'm trying to find something to pick the lock with."

Sam: (Now following Guard #1) "Once I free Danny, he'll free Paulina if you can't get the lock." (Sam watches Guard #1 put the necklace in a drawer and leaves. A minute later, Sam opens the drawer.)

Sam: "This is it huh? Who knew a piece of jewelry could do all this. Only one thing to do now. (She takes the necklace and smashes it on the floor and collects the pieces with a Fenton thermos. Meanwhile…the scene switches to the room where Danny is being kept.)

Danny: "What the heck? Where am I?" (Scene switches back to Sam.)

Sam: (to Jazz through microphone) "The necklace is smashed, but Danny won't know anything. I'm going to go find him."

Jazz: "Ok."

Sam: "I hate to say this, but tell Paulina the ghost boy is on his way. I'm sure she'd want to know."

Jazz: "Ok."

Sam: "I was being sarcastic. (Sam's phone rings and she answers it.) Hello?"

Tucker: "Hey Sam, it's Tucker. I found you a map. It should be coming through any second."

Sam: "Thanks, gotta go. (Hangs up and the map is on her cell phone. She looks at the map, and she notices a large bed room close to where she's standing.) I'm sure Danny might be in this room! (She enters room.) It's empty. (Looks at map again.) Let's try another room. (She runs up some stairs and turns a corner. She enters a room to see Danny sitting on a bed.) Danny!"

Danny: "Sam? Oh, it's nice to see a friendly face. I don't know where I am. What's going on?"

Sam: "A ghost girl has been controlling you with the smashed necklace in this." (She holds up the Fhenton thermos.)

Danny: "What exactly is the necklace?"

Sam: "I think it's some sort of love orb. You see she's King Pariah's daughter, and she wanted to marry you so she could become queen and take her father's place."

Danny: "So, what are we going to do? She still thinks she's controlling me."

Sam: "I know, but…wait she still thinks you love her! This is perfect!"

Danny: "How is this perfect? I'm about to get married to a ghost girl I don't like."

Sam: "Danny don't you see? You can use this against her." (They hear someone coming up the stairs.)

Danny: "What do I do?"

Sam: (She hides in a closet and whispers.) "Just pretend you lover her and don't disagree with anything she says. Here. (She says while tossing him a thermos.) Use it when she least expects it."

(End of Scene 33)

Scene 34

(Christa enters.)

Christa: "Hello darling."

Sam: (to herself) "I'm about ready to puke."

Danny: "Oh, hello."

Christa: "Why don't you come downstairs? The weddings about to begin."

Danny: "Ok, be down in a minute."

Christa: "You know, I want this wedding to be perfect, so I added both human and ghost traditions. We'll recite the vowels, kiss (Danny flinches), and sign the eternity contract. Then we'll be husband and wife for all eternity, both in the ghost zone and human world!"

Danny: (nervously) "Can't wait. (He said shoving her out the door.) I'll see you in a few minutes. (to himself) Glad she's gone. (to Sam) Ok, we're alone, so you can come out now. (Sam comes out and joins Danny.) So, what do we do?"

Sam: "I've got a plan."

(End of scene 34)

Scene 35

(Scene goes to the wedding. The music is playing and Danny has just walked down the isle, opposite of a normal human wedding.)

Guard #3: "Do you, Christa, take Danny Phantom to be your lawfully ghostly husband?"

Christa: (smiles) "I do."

Guard #3: "And do you Danny Phantom take Christa to be your lawfully ghostly wife? And to death shall you…Umm…What am I saying? Ghosts are already dead anyway."

Danny: (to himself) "Not me."

Christa: "Danny, aren't you going to say something?"

Danny: (gulps) "I do." (looks down)

Guard #3: "Then, you may kiss the bride!" (As Christa leans in to kiss Danny, Danny pulls out the thermos.)

Danny: "Kiss this, ghost girl!" (Christa is sucked up by the thermos.)

Christa: "What?! Noooooooooooo!!!!!!!!"

Guard #3: "Get him!" (Danny uses his ghostly wail to defeat all the ghosts present. Then, he picks up Sam and becomes invisible.)

Sam: (disgusted) "You idiot! You weren't supposed to say 'I do'. You're now married to her!"

Danny: "Actually, the preacher was a fake, we didn't kiss, and we never signed their precious contract. I learned about weddings in the ghost zone because I was curious. I am a ghost after all…(blushes) And someday I'll get married, and I want to be married through both ghost and human traditions. That's the only way to satisfy me."

Sam: (blushes) "I see. We've got to go find Jazz and Paulina."

Danny: "Paulina?" (Danny flies off to get Paulina and Jazz.)

Jazz: "Oh Da…I mean Ghost Boy. How nice to see you."

Paulina: "These cuffs are hurting my flawless hands."

Danny: "Hold on, I'll get you out." (He opens the cell.)

Sam: "Could you hold on a second. I need a picture."

Danny and Jazz: "SAM!"

Sam: "Kidding, kidding." (Danny breaks the shackles on Paulina.)

Paulina: (Now hugging Danny.) "My hero! Now, how about that date."

Danny: "I have no clue what you're taking about, but ok."

(End of scene 35)

Scene 36

(Scene is back at Danny's house. Danny Phantom flew Paulina back home and is now talking to Jazz and Sam.)

Danny: "So, what's all this talk about a date?"

Sam: "Uhhh…"

Jazz: "We made a deal with Paulina. You, as Danny Phantom, are going on a date with Paulina after school tomorrow."

Danny: "Great. Not a good idea. I like Paulina, but I can't be seen."

Jazz: "It's at a fancy restaurant. I made reservations. Please?"

Danny: "Ok."

Sam: "What did you do with Christa?"

Danny: "I gave the thermos to Clock Work to guard. He still has the one with my older version in it."

Jazz: "At least she can't escape…Who's Clock Work?"

Sam: "Long story. What happened to Cupid and the servants?"

Danny: "They all fled. I've got to go and finish some homework." (Danny leaves.)

Sam: "We made a great team together."

Jazz: "Yeah, friends?"

Sam: "In your dreams, I got to go. We could hang out every once in a while. (Heads out the door.) P.S. Danny came to my party." (Sam is gone.)

Jazz: "Danny!"
