Chapter XXI: A Ghastly Couple
Jack Skellington
"All right that's enough dancing for now, the feast is about to begin," I said as the music stopped and the chefs brought in the food and placed it on the table.
Everyone took their seats and smiled at the feast before them. There were Snake-kabobs, Stinkweed salad, roasted lizards, and black wine along with other treats to tempt the taste buds.
"Before we begin this meal, let us give the traditional blessing," I say bowing my head, "In ancient days, when dark spirits, lead by their dread leader Pariah Dark, roamed the Earth terrorizing the living a pact was made to keep the peace. We thank the ancient spirits that led to this peace and established the Feast of Samhain to honor this pact. We thank you again today for brining the hero chosen to keep Pariah in his ancient tomb to our home. May he and his friends think warmly of their time here as long as they roam the earth, this we ask great spirits of old hear us now," I prayed as I looked and invited everyone to begin eating.
I noticed that Sam was grimacing at the food, "is something a matter, Sam?" I ask her concerned as she smiled at me.
"She's doesn't eat anything with a face on it," Danny whispered to me as I realized my error.
"Chefs," I said clapping, "Bring Ms. Manson, some salad," I said as they left but came out within a second.
"We beg your pardon Jack, but there are two ghosts inside the kitchen causing trouble," the head chef said worriedly.
"What type of ghosts?" I asked curiously wondering what kind of ghosts would dare to interrupt this feast.
"One of them calls himself 'the Box Ghost' and is stealing all the boxes," another chef answers, but before I can respond I notice Danny has gotten up and was running toward the kitchen.
Danny
When I arrived at the kitchen, I saw the Box Ghost and Lunch Lady wrecking havoc.
"You call this a meal, HOW DARE YOU CHANGE THE MENU!" Lunch Lady screamed throwing food all over the place. Meats, veggies, soups and even drinks were scattered on the ground.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST, BEWARE!" the Box Ghost shouted as he threw boxes all over the place laughing insanely.
"Don't you two ever give up," I said as I snuck up on them and gave them an ecto-blast. "I can't even have party without you two losers showing up," I joke as they get and attack me but I dodge them effortlessly.
"You will not stop us Ghost Child," Lunch Lady said as she ordered her meat monsters to attack.
"I think I like the ghosts who live here better than you," I tell them as one of the monsters grab my ankle and throw me to the ground. "This is so disturbing I don't even want to comment, " I moaned as I fried the monster and took on its siblings.

Everyone raced to the kitchen to watch Danny fight the ghosts.
He seemed like a different person, shining with confidence and intelligence. His eyes glowed with power as he fought the two ghosts with ease.
"Look at how fast he is," the Aquatic Girl said as she watched Danny fly across the room evading his foes with ease.
"Is this the best you rejects have to offer," Danny taunted as the female ghost sent hot water from the pipes to burn him only to have it freeze by Danny and shatter into a million pieces.
"How dare you insult my girlfriend," the male ghost said as he threw boxes at Danny who phased through him.
"I have things to do, so I'm going finish this now," he says taking out a strange device and sucks the two specters into it. "So long," he said laughing as he walked out.
"THAT WAS AMAZING!" one of the witches said racing up to him excited as he smiled weakly.
"What do you call that device," one of the vampires asked amazed by the fight in the kitchen.
"PLEASE! Give the boy some space," Jack said as he escorted him back to the table with a throng of people following him.
I had noticed that Sam stayed behind; a frown on her face like something upset her.
"Sam, what's wrong?" I ask her as I walk up to her, "Danny saved the party, you should be happy," I tell her with a smile.
"I know and I am, it's just every time he saves the day, the girls go nuts and he acts like I mean nothing to him," she says taking a bite of stinkweed salad while making a face.
"Did you tell him how you feel," I tell her as I look and see that he is rejecting date offers, "From what I see, Danny knows his limits. Perhaps, you need to lengthen Danny's leash and let the boy have his freedom. He won't leave you," I tell her warmly.
"Maybe you're right," she says as she walks up to where Danny is sitting and smiles.
Danny
After I had stopped the ghosts I was rushed to the front of the table to sign autographs.
There were thousand people lined to get an autograph, "now I know how Ember feels," I say to myself as I start signing autographs.
"Would you make it out Hagatha," a witch said as she handed me a book and signed it, "Thank you Mr. Phantom," she said as she squealed with delight as she ran off.
"Could you write 'to Count Radu have a great Afterlife your friend Danny Phantom'", a tall vampire said handing me of a picture of myself.
"Sure, your grace," I said as seriously as possible as I signed the picture, "There you go," I tell him.
"Mr. Phantom could I have my picture taken with you," a little zombie like kid as asked he jumped up to get a good look at me.
"Uh…sure," I say as I walk in front of the table and pick up the child, "it's a good thing I have Ghost Strength," I tell myself straining.
"Okay say 'slime'" the boy's mother says as we smile and snaps the picture.
"Now let's make this a real collector's item," I say as I start writing "to the zombie kid, stay in school and say no to eating living brains, your friend Danny Phantom," I say as I finish and hand it back to him, "Take care of that it might worth something years from now," I tell him as I go back to the table.
"Mr. Phantom how does feel to go to evil 'Invisobill' to hero in such a short time," a voice asks me as I look and see who asked the question: Sam.
"Well miss, you'll have to ask my girlfriend as she's my spokeswoman," I tell her teasingly as I kiss her.
"You're such a softy Danny," she says as she ruffles my hair and everyone laughs.
After awhile Jack stands up, "all right, we have more round of dancing before we close this party. Would those who would like to dance with Danny please form a line to my right," he said as all the ladies formed a line and the music started.
