...Cheese.

Chapter 10
"I am the Box Ghost!"—The Box Ghost, various episodes
————————————————————————————————
Phantom blinked, 'Well, that was weird.' He could tell that the voice's presence was gone. Hm...oh, well. He had a movie to get back to, anyway! Phantom phased down into the washrooms. Becoming tangible, he made sure he was alone and let the green energy spin around him like a tornado, de-morphing him into Danny Fenton mid-air. He landed without flinching, used already to landed from rather high heights.
Danny walked back into the theatre room, finding his spot with his friends easily as there weren't that many people around the spot they were in. Tucker was clinging to his seat, staring at the screen with horror. Sam was smiling a slightly creepy smile.
Danny sat down beside Sam and whispered, "What's happening?"
Sam was going to respond when their was a shudder-inducing shriek heard from the movie. Sam squealed like a fan girl while Danny and Tucker stared at the screen in horror. Tucker fainted thanks to his hemophobia (1), while Danny just clutched at his chest, panting softly as he desperately tried to keep his body tangible and heart under control.
Sam rolled her eyes, "You two are such wimps." She didn't seem to notice most of the other people in the room had also fainted—even some other goths.
"Why did they let us into this movie?" Danny whimpered, trying to resist fainting like Tucker.
"...You phased us in, remember." Sam smirked.
"Ah, right." Danny flushed. 'I am so not letting Sam talk me into something like this again...' Suddenly, the movie's credits began, to Danny's surprise. "It's over?"
Sam nodded, "Yeah. Turns out that that girl that died before you went to the bathroom was actually alive and that she was the killer the whole time. I was surprised, but hey, who cares! It was awesome! Anyway, she was the one who just died there, being killed by her boyfriend, the second-main character. Sweet, huh?" She grinned.
Danny smirked, "Tell that to Tucker." He motioned to the unconscious techno-geek.
"Pfft, wimp." Sam rolled her eyes, "Come on, lets carry 'im home."
"Fine." Danny picked up the techno-geek by his ankles. Sam held up the techno-geek by the head. Danny turned all three of them (including himself, obviously) invisible and intangible. They phased through the wall and outside.
"I'll carry him the rest of the way." Sam said. Danny shrugged and put Tucker down gently. Sam then began dragging him down the sidewalk...until he woke up.
"OW! OW! OW! HEY! SAM! STOP TH—OW! STOP IT! OW!" Tucker wailed.
Sam blinked innocently and let go of Tucker's legs. The techno-geek stood up and glared angrily as the goth girl innocently asked, "Sorry, I didn't notice you were awake!"
Danny rolled his eyes at their weirdness, but gasped as his ghost sense activated. The Box Ghost flew up and announced, "I am the Box Ghost! Fear me!"
The trio stared blankly.
"...Fear me!"
"Fear me!"
"Fear me!"
"Fear me!"
"Fear me!"
"WHY WON'T YOU FEAR ME!?!" The Box Ghost angrily screamed.
"Dude, you aren't scary." Danny pointed out, "Um, you do know that, right?"
"...Beware my fear-inspiring aura of doom!" The Box Ghost stupidly shouted.
Danny sighed, "I don't know why I'm going to bother, but I'm still goin' ghost!" He spread his arms out at his sides as if inviting somebody to hug him, ready to smoothly transform into Phantom. Sam, however, thought he wanted a hug, so she shrugged and hugged him. Danny paused, eyes widening slightly. He said, "Uh...Sam?"
Sam asked, looking up with a smirk, "What?"
"...Please let go." Danny whimpered, blushing.
"Fine...you're no fun." Sam frowned, pulling away. 'Mmmmm...he smells like ectoplasm...which...isn't that surprising.'
Danny sighed and announced again, "I'm goin' ghost!" He this time brought his arms above his head, jumped, and swung his arms downward as he moved up, the green ecto-energy quickly spinning around him. When the energy died down, Danny was now morphed into Phantom, a determined glow in his eyes...not to mention a literal glow.
The Box Ghost pointed dramatically, "You cannot stop me, halfa! For I am the Box Ghost! Fear my ability to control all things cardboard and square!" He laughed evilly.
"..." 'Does he have any idea how lame he is?' A certain ghost boy wondered, incredulous.
"And now I have a new power...I can prove it!" The Box Ghost added.
"New power?" Sam raised an eyebrow, "What, can you control bubble wrap, now?"
The Box Ghost blinked and pointed angrily, "Foolish goth girl, I already knew how to control bubble wrap!...Anyway, now I can do this...!" Violet energy formed in his hands, moved his arms up, and created a violet box of energy in his hands. He threw it at Phantom, who tried to dodge, but the box was too large. It slammed into him, exploding and sending him flying into the wall. The ghost boy groaned in pain, sliding down the wall and hitting the ground.
Sam's eyes widened, "Danny! Are you ok?"
"I...think so." Phantom moaned.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! You cannot defeat the new and improved Box Ghost!" I bet you can't guess who said that...
Phantom glared, "Just watch me, Box-Jerk!" He flew up into the air and punched the box-obsessed ghost, sending said ghost flying. Phantom dodged a few more ecto-cubes almost effortlessly. After dodging the sixth box, he noted, "Wow, I'm getting better at this!" As if on cue, the (lucky-)seventh box slammed into him, knocking him in between Tucker and Sam. Green ectoplasm quickly swirled around him, de-transforming him into Danny Fenton within seconds.
Sam winced, "Um...I'm guessing you're not ok this time, huh?"
Danny glared sarcastically at her, "No, really, what was your first clue?"
"HA! I have won!" The Box Ghost laughed maniacally, "I will return to defeat you again in the future, ghost boy! So long!" He flew off, laughing evilly to himself.
"That was lucky," noted Tucker.
Sam helped Danny up, "Wow, that actually was pretty awesome...for the Box Ghost, at least."
Danny ignored her and asked himself, "I wonder how he learned how to do that, anyway...wait, even the Box Ghost can use energy attacks!?" He angrily morphed into Phantom and held his hands out, aiming to the ground in an attempt to fire ectoblasts. Green sparks surged around his arms, but didn't form any energy to hold in his hands, and the sparks fell harmlessly to the ground.
Tucker quipped, "Well, that's better then before, with those little sparks..."
Phantom glared at Tucker, "Gee, thanks." He let the usual movement of green ectoplasmic energy to move around him, transforming him back into Danny Fenton quickly.
"Aw, you'll get it eventually, Dan." Sam said, soothingly patting his back with a small smile on her face.
"I hope I do...I mean, really, shooting energy from my hands would be so cool!" Danny smiled.
Tucker grinned, "Yeah, that would be cool. Maybe then you could beat that Skulker chick?"
Danny glared and, raising a hand, shot at tiny ecto-blast from his finger that hit Tucker's beret, sending it flying. He stared at his finger in surprise as the green glow faded away after a few moments.
Sam smirked, "For now, I think I can settle for that." Tucker scowled while Danny just laughed.

1 – 'hemophobia' is the fear of blood, hinting at what just happened on-screen, though it's obvious it was very, very graphic.
