The Many Dates of Danny Fenton
Chapter 34: A Little Break Part 5
Katie was searching the carnival, worried for Danny. They had been in the Tunnel of Love together and during their little... romantic moment, he fell out of the boat, much to her horror.
She tried to find him but the guy who operates the ride said he wasn't in there, that he must have walked out. So now Katie is looking for her sweetheart, or soon-to-officially be here sweetheart to make sure that he is alright.
"Danny, where are you?...'Katie whispered as she tried looking through the crowds, still thinking of the guy she wants so much.
This morning, she thought coming here would be a bust, but now she got to spend another date with Danny and it was great...especially after he kissed her like that earlier.
Katie blushed at the memory of Danny pulling her close to him and kissing her so many times until she melted into it and kissed him back. She loved every second of it and she knew he did too, given that he fainted after it was all over, and how shy he looked when he came to.
Katie tried hard not to giggle, she thought it was precious that Danny could go as far as being bold to kiss her so passionately and then get all shy again when they are alone like that. It's one of those little traits that make him so precious and made Katie even more determined to find him and make him all hers.
"Don't worry, Danny...I'm gonna find you..."Katie thought as she continued her search for the guy of her dreams.
Elsewhere
The Kaboom family, with only three of it's four members, were searching the park. They were looking for their daughter, who has basically ditched them since they got here and they got worried since she didn't answer her cell phone.
"Do you see her yet?..."Mrs. Kaboom asked.
"Not yet honey, she has got to be here some place..."Mr. Kaboom said.
They got worried when Katie didn't show up to join then for lunch and when she didn't answer her phone. So they started searching for her and they are sill worried.
'Katie...Katie, darling..."Mrs. Kaboom called.
Tinker was also with them, helping his parents find his crazy older sister, who had to go AWOL and spoil his big day at the carnival.
"Just where is she?...'Tinker thought in annoyance.
Suddenly a huge gust of wind passed, and Tinker's favorite red hat was sent flying.
"MY HAT!..'Tinker exclaimed in a panic as he went after him.
"Tinker, get back here...'His parents called but Tinker continued to chase after his hat before it flew away.
Thankfully his hat flew by a few mimes who were giving a show, and one of them, the younger looking mime with blue eyes caught it.
'My hat..."Tinker said.
The mime saw him and approached him, giving him his favorite hat back, making Tinker smiled widely.
"Wow, thank you Mr. Mime...'Tinker said, happy to have his hat back.
It was then that his parents showed up and saw this exchange.
"There you are Tinker, you know better than to run off like that..."His mother scolded her son.
"Sorry mom...I almost lost my hat, but Mr. Mime here caught it for me...'Tinker said while the young mime waved at them, still remaining silent.
"Well thank you...'Mr. Kaboom said while his mother pulled out a camera.
"This will make a great picture...do you mind?..."Mrs. Kaboom asked and the mime shook his head.
He took the picture with Tinker, both smiling widely as Tinker imitated the pose his new mime friend was in and the picture was taken.
'That's a keeper, now come along Tinker, we have to go find your sister...'Mrs. Kaboom said.
"Coming mom...later Mr. Mime...'Tinker said as he waved to the young mime who waved back.
Once they were gone and once he made sure a certain blonde girl was no where in sight, the mime let out a sigh of relief.
"Man, Katie has to be part shark or something...she is so persistent...'Danny sighed as this was the third time they crossed paths and Danny had to go into mime mode with the others in order to stay off her radar.
He had to keep this up until he finds Tucker and Jazz and somehow get the heck away from here and think of a way to keep Katie both off his back and from attacking anyone.
Tucker and Jazz
The two teens have spent hours searching the entire carnival but it's as if Danny had dropped off the radar.
'Try calling him again...'Jazz said as both she and Tucker dialed but neither got through.
"Darn it, there's a lousy signal here...'Tucker muttered in frustration.
"I'm really getting worried...'Jazz said.
"We'll find him, if he is somewhere in the carnival, we will find him..."Tucker said.
The two continued to search, even passing by a few mimes who were performing and.
"Tucker! Jazz!..."One of the mimes shouted, breaking the mime rule of silence and rushed towards them.
Tucker and Jazz looked confused.
"Do we know you?...'Jazz asked in confusion.
"I thought Mimes were suppose to be silent...'Tucker said, not getting it.
"Guys, it's me..."Danny said as he removed his red nose.
Jazz and Tucker's jaws dropped when they recognized him
"DANNY!...'They exclaimed as they pulled him into a hug.
"Oh man, we have been looking everywhere for you..."Jazz said.
"I have been everywhere...that Katie girl had to pick this carnival of all places to go to and she wouldn't leave me alone...I finally managed to escape from her thanks to the help from Buttons and Mime guy here...'Danny said as he gestured to his new friends who waved at them.
"Wait, Danny...back up...explain everything again..."Jazz said.
"Not here, it's too out in the open...we need some place private...'Danny said.
The mime guy then pointed to the haunted house attraction, that was currently undergoing repairs and thus, off limits.
It would be the perfect place for them to sneak inside and Danny could calmly explain to them his situation in a mature, dignified way.
Inside
"I'M LOSING MY MIND!..."Danny shouted in desperation once they were inside, shocking his sister by the sheer volume of his voice.
"KATIE IS INSANE! SHE WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE! SHE'S OBSESSED WITH ME, SHE'S BEEN FOLLOWING ME AROUND ALL DAY! SHE'S SUFFOCATING ME! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! YOU GUYS GOT TO HELP ME! I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE OF THIS!I THINK I'M ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN!YOU GUYS GOT TO HELP ME! I DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE AS THAT BLONDE TIME BOMBS LOVE SLAVE! I DON'T WANNA! I DON'T WANNA! I DON'T WANNA!..."Danny shouted as he even started shaking them now.
Tucker, thankfully slapped Danny across the face and the mime squirt his face with seltzer, managing to calm down the nervous boy.
"T-Thanks...I needed that...'Danny said, now calmed down.
"Don't mention it..."Tucker said while Mime nodded his head in agreement before helping him with his makeup again.
"If you don't like Katie, why don't you just tell her?..."Jazz asked while Danny sent her an eye roll.
"Because reason doesn't work on crazy people! We learned that from dealing with Vlad! What's worse is that if I do say no to her, she'll get mad and turn into a monster and this carnival is loaded with innocent people! I'M TRAPPED!..."Danny exclaimed.
"Calm down, dude...'Tucker said but Danny wasn't done ranting...
"I can't, you guys have no idea on half of the stuff I had to go through today..." Danny said, only to yelp when his phone started beeping, only to calm down when he saw it was a wrong number.
"Thank goodness, I thought Katie might have called...'Danny said in relief.
"Why would she have your phone?..."Jazz asked in a confused way.
Danny groaned when he remembered what happened after Katie got rid of Buttons and stuck to him like glue.
FLASHBACK
"Anyway Danny, I was wondering, why haven't you called me since our first date?...'Katie asked Danny who gulped.
"I...I lost your number..."Danny lied quickly, hoping she would buy it.
Thankfully she did and sent him a smile.
"Yeah, that's what I thought...but don't you worry..."Katie said as she suddenly took his phone out of his hand.
"Hey!...'Danny exclaimed, only for Katie to put her number in it and call her own, thus giving her his number.
"There , all set..."Katie said sweetly as she handed Danny his phone and Danny felt a little unnerved by this.
"Note to self, change number and block caller...'Danny thought as he looked at the unwanted number that was now in his phone.
Back to present
Danny continued telling everyone about his very, very stressful day at the hands of Katie Kaboom.
"I can't take it anymore...Katie clung to be all day, played footsie with me during lunch, put her number in my phone, tricked me into drinking peppermint tea to get rid of my bad breath and then dragged me to the tunnel of love and I only managed to get away by jumping overboard...I just can't take it anymore..."Danny said with a look of absolute stress on his face.
"So,what's the plan? You can't just pretend to be a mime for the rest of your life?..."Jazz said to her brother.
"Why not, I think I am getting the hang of it, right Mime Guy...'Danny turned to the mime who nodded.
However, when he looked away the mime sent Tuck and Jazz the "so-so" gesture but stopped before Danny noticed.
"Anyway, I don't plan to be like this forever, this is the plan, Mime guy will take Buttons back to his owner, I stay dressed like this until we leave the carnival, go back home, never come back to Acmeville and live happily ever after...'Danny said in a cheerful tone.
"So, your plan is to runaway and hide...'Jazz said, unimpressed.
"You don't understand Jazz, Katie is a monster, she's not going to give up..."Danny said as he got closer to them and quickly whispered. "And my powers don't work on her, she's impervious to ghost powers, so I am out of my league..He whispered as he glanced to the mime.
Sure, he has helped him a lot, but he just met him today, he is no sure if he can trust him with his secret yet, even if he is silent.
"Alright Danny...we'll do that but what I don't understand is why Katie is so strong and yet no one seems to have noticed...'Jazz said.
Suddenly, they heard rattling from the old grandfather clock and then, three figures jumped out of it, shocking everyone but Danny. "
You three?!...'Danny exclaimed to the dog like creatures, while Jazz and Tucker looked surprised.
"You know these creatures?..."Jazz exclaimed in surprise.
Yacko and Wacko saw Jazz and did their usual reactions when they see a pretty girl.
"HELLO NURSE!..."The two Warner boys shouted as their hearts beat through their chests and their tongues dropped to the floor, freaking Jazz out.
"Ah!...'Jazz exclaimed as she jumped behind Danny for protection, while the female smacked the other two guys to snap them out of it.
"Boys...am I right?..."Dot said to Jazz, who still looked disturbed by what she just witness.
'What are they?...'Tucker asked.
"We're the Warner Brothers...'Yacko introduced only to be nudged by Dot.
"And the Warner sister...'Dot said, making her presence clear.
"Our names are Yacko, Wakko and Dot...'Wacko said as he
"What are you three doing here?..."Danny demanded.
"Well cutie here asked a question, so we are here to answer..."Yacko said as here gestured to Jazz and then he pulled out the chart of Katie that he showed Danny a few days ago.
Danny however, pushed it away.
"There is no time for that, do you three mean to tell me you have been here all day?..."Danny exclaimed and the Warners nodded.
"Yep, we just love carnivals..."Dot said.
"The rides, the fun...'Yacko said.
"The food...'Wacko yipped happily.
"Did you three see me with Katie, today?...'Danny asked and the Warners nodded.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU THREE DO SOMETHING?!...'Danny exclaimed.
"We weren't due until now..."Yacko said as he winked to the people reading this fic, while Danny, Tucker and Jazz looked around.
"Who is he talking to?...'Jazz asked, looking in the direction where Yacko blinked but didn't see anyone.
"I think these guys are crazy...'Tucker whispered while Danny still looked mad.
"Besides, you seemed to have had everything under control..."Wacko said as he produced pictures and Danny's jaw dropped at the sight of them.
"YOU TOOK PICTURES?!..."Danny exclaimed in horror and indignation as the Warners showed off the photos of Danny and Katie on their "date".
Tucker and Jazz saw Danny's forced smiles in each of them and the kiss, though they noticed the look in his eyes that he clearly wasn't enjoying himself.
"She doesn't look like a monster...'Tucker commented as he looked at Katie, thinking she looks so pretty and innocent. Jazz however frowned.
"They never do..."Jazz said while Danny looked mad at the Warners
"You two make a cute little couple...'Dot said in a sweet tone as she pointed to the pictures.
Danny, thinking that they were mocking him, grabbed a nearby vase and chugged it at them, but missed. He then grabbed the pictures and tore them to shreds in anger.
'AH!..."Danny yelled in anger over the kinds of misfortunes he had to go today, and Tuck and Jazz looked worried for his sanity.
"Well, you all seem to need some privacy, so we will be leaving..."Yacko said as he and his siblings went to the chimney, but not before giving one last look at Jazz..
"Call me..."Yacko said as he sent Jazz a wink before disappearing as he and his siblings disappeared.
Danny, Jazz and Tucker blinked, wondering what just happened.
"What is in the water in this town?...'Danny asked in exasperation.
"I don't know what it is but I hope there is a cure, I think I drank about three bottles after the hot dog eating contest...'Tucker said with worry, while the Mime and Buttons just shrugged.
"What time is it?...'Danny asked Jazz, who glanced at her watch.
"It's already 3:30 and...well...you still have about 5 hours..."Jazz said, being vague.
"I can't wait that long...Let's just go home...I think I have enough of this place to last a century..."Danny said with a sign, before he turned to Buttons and Mime guy who looked hurt by what he just said.
"Not you guys, you two seem to be the only two from here that I don't find insane...'Danny said, making the two smile in response.
"Let's just go home now...hopefully Katie won't get too mad if I disappear..."Danny sighed.
The group soon excited the haunted house, with Danny making sure his face paint was perfect enough to fool Katie like it did earlier. Once done, they were now on their way to leave this carnival.
Outside
The group continued walking but since the carnival was a few miles long and the exit was on the other side, it was taking a while to get there. All the while, the group kept high alert for Katie.
"Any sign of Katie's scent Buttons?...'Danny asked the dog, that barked twice, showing that it was still safe. Danny let out a sign of relief, as he, his sister, Tucker and newly made friends continued their venture.
However, they passed some of the stands and one of them was for Mexican food.
"Hey Pedro, fill up the pepper shakers..."A boss yelled at his employing that pulled out an acme size jaw of pepper, and started pouring it into the shakers.
Unfortunately a cat and some mice were nearby, causing havoc and bumped into him, causing the guy to fall and the jar of pepper was sent flying...
Landing on Button's in the process.
"AOUW!..."The dog yelped as the jar got stuck on his nose.
"BUTTONS!...'Danny exclaimed in worry as he and the others tried to help him get the jar off of his nose.
They managed but Button's started sneezing uncontrollably and his nose was too stuffed up in the process.
'ACHO! ACHO!...'The dog continued sneezing.
Danny had a bad moment, and got worse since he didn't realize that he was standing a few feet away from the Dunk Tank, which had somebody plummet in and a huge splash happened, causing a bunch of water to come out and land on Danny.
"What the heck?!..."Danny coughed out the water, wondering how that happened.
'Danny, your face paint...'Tucker exclaimed and Danny soon saw that the face make up was wiped clean away.
"What...No!Mime Guy...Help...'Danny begged.
The mime pulled out the powder and face paint and was about to reapply them on Danny, only to suddenly trip on a rock he didn't seem, causing the products to land on the ground, which was already soaking wet, much to Danny's horror as he saw it be washed away.
"Oh no, the face paint...'Danny shouted in dismay as the mime tried to face the cosmetic but it all washed down a nearby drain.
This isn't good, the make up is gone and Button's nose is still too stuffed with pepper to be of any use.
Danny is a sitting duck right now.
"No...what are we going to do?...'Tucker said in worry.
"I don't see Katie...maybe if we run, we can still-
"There you are..." Katie's voice was here. "Danny, oh Danny...'Katie said as she ran towards him.
'Too late...'Danny said as he tried to make a break for it, but Katie already caught up and was hugging him from behind, restraining him.
"I can't believe she found us! She's like a boomerang that keeps coming back!..."Danny thought in dismay as he felt her arms around him again.
"There you are...I have been looking everywhere for you..."Katie said as she continued to hold onto Danny, who's left eye even twitched a bit, not that the girl noticed.
Jazz saw this and her protective sister instincts kicked in and she took a step forward.
"Excuse me?..."Jazz stepped in.
Katie saw her and frowned and Danny couldn't help but notice her grip on him tightened for some reason.
"Danny...sweetie...who is this?..."Katie said in a voice that seems to be close to be on the border of calm and anger and Danny soon realized she must have gotten the wrong idea.
"Katie...this is my older sister Jazz..."Danny said and Katie's tense dropped in almost a millisecond and even smiled at her.
"Oh, so you are Jazz...it's nice to meet you..."Katie said as she actually stepped away and even shook Jazz's hand, no doubt trying to make a good impression on Danny's sister.
No sell, Jazz already didn't like her due to seeing how uncomfortable around her but Jazz plastered a fake grin for the sake of peace.
"I'm sure it is..."Jazz said. Danny used this opportunity to sneak away but Katie quickly turned to him.
"Anyway Danny, where did you go? What happened? And what are you wearing? I have been so worried since you fell out of the boat and disappeared like that..."Katie said to the dark haired boy.
"Yeah...Fell...'Danny muttered as he recalled exactly what happened there.
FLASHBACK
Earlier
"Come to momma~..."Katie said as they soon got into the dark and she made her move. Katie started kissing Danny, who squirmed a bit, who, despite being in the dark, trying to avoid her lips, and she ended up kissing other sides of his face in the process, being to caught up in her amorous actions to notice his squirming,
"Katie...Katie..." Danny let out, trying to beg her to stop, but it seems she misunderstood them and it only encouraged her and , hearing his voice, Katie managed to nab his lips in the process, giving him dozens of pecks on the lips in a fit of teenage, hormone induced passion.
"MUAH! MUAH!...'Katie let out as she continued giving Danny big, Teen rated kisses on the lips and in the dark. Danny, meanwhile, tried hard not to faint again and to find an escape without setting her off.
"MUAH! Oh, you're so cute..."Katie said before kissing him again.
"MUAH! You're lips taste so good..."She whispered as she kissed once more.
"MUAH! MUAH! MUAH!...'She let out again as she continued kissing the poor boy half to death.
"What the heck can I get out of this?...'Danny thought as an idea of jumping overboard crossed his mind but-
"Say my name again, my little Pookie-Bear...'Katie whispered into his ear before kissing him again, making Danny eyes widen.
Okay, that did it. Danny had enough, when Katie separated to catch her breath, he, despite the dark, made a jump for it, landing in the water, making a loud splash
"DANNY!...'Katie's voice exclaimed upon hearing that and realizing that she was alone in the boat, with no Danny to kiss and cuddle with.
End of Flashback
Back to the present
Danny shook away that memory and realize that Katie is waiting for an answer and despite the look on her face, it better be a good one or else...
""I...I'm sorry about that but my clothes were soaked and mime guy over here were kind enough to lend me these clothes while they dried...I...I tried to find you but didn't see you..."Danny lied and the mime nodded to convince her.
Thankfully, Katie bought it and smiled.
"I see, well I guess that's okay but I got really worried...'Katie said to Danny.
"I...I wasn't thinking..." Danny said, silently sending Jazz and Tuck the "HELP ME" look.
"Anyway Danny...Can you come with me for a moment, I kind of have to talk to you about something really important...'Katie said and Danny went pale, already knowing what she might want to talk about.
About making him pick her out of the girls and she won't take no for an answer. Thankfully, Jazz stepped in between them.
"I'm sorry Katie but our parents just called us and they want us home now...we have to leave now...'Jazz lied and Katie blinked, looking surprised but then sent Danny a look.
"Don't worry, this won't take long...'Katie said as she tried to reach for Danny, but Jazz tried to remain firm.
"Anything you can say to my brother, you can say in front of us...and even then, we have to go...'Jazz said and Katie's smile dropped and Danny gulped.
"I'm sorry, but it's a private matter which won't take too long...'Katie said as she tried to get to Danny. Danny gulped, only for salvation to come in the least likely of sources.
"Daniel! Jasmine! Tucker! Is that you..."Vlad said, wearing his mayor stash and Danny looked surprised and Katie looked annoyed at being interrupted again.
"What are you doing here?...'Danny exclaimed, not liking his arch-enemy being here too.
'Who is this guy?...'Katie asked, not liking another interruption.
"I am Mayor Masters of Amity Park, a friend of Danny's parents...'Vlad said while he sent Danny that nasty look. "Anyway Danny, I see you are on another blind date...'Vlad said with hi evil smirk, no doubt wanting to ruin it.
'Danny sighed, unable to believe he is about to do this...
"Vlad, whatever it is you are trying to do, now is not the time..." Danny said to the mayor.
"Actually it cannot...see, I came here because me and the other local mayors of the county are suppose to be judges for a contest being held this evening, and I decided to take a stroll and saw you three...Hello young lady..."Vlad said to Katie, who blinked.
"Hello, Mr. Mayor..."Katie said, trying to be cute and polite to the adult with authority and Danny tried not to smack his face.
"Also, I came to inform you that this carnival has a low tolerance for PDA..."Vlad said, making Katie's smile drop upon hearing that.
"What? Since when?...'Katie demanded and Danny gulped, got away from her and pushed Vlad out of desperation.
"Fruitloop, I know what you are doing and you could not have picked a worst time..."Danny whispered harshly to Vlad.
"Why Daniel, upset that your date isn't going so well now...'Vlad said mockingly, only for Danny to grab him by the collar and drag him to eye level.
"Vlad, I am serious...You are pouring gas on an open flame, leave now before you put all of us in great danger...'Danny whispered harshly and Vlad blinked in surprise, not expecting this reaction.
"What on Earth are you talking about, Daniel?...'Vlad demanded, not expecting this reaction to his little prank.
However, before Danny could say anything, Katie came back and took Danny by the hand.
'Excuse me, Mr. Mayor...but I really need to talk to Danny alone for a minute...'Katie said as she tried to take Danny to some place private and Danny sent a begging look to his friends to save him.
"KATIE! KATIE DARLING, THERE YOU ARE!...'A new voice called.
Everyone turned around and Danny saw the little kid and his parents from earlier come to them, with worried looks on their faces.
"What, mother?...'Katie said as she inadvertently let go of Danny's hand in the process.
"Mother...you mean...this is her family?...'Danny thought in shock as he looked at the family and then at Katie and got a bad feeling.
Are they monsters just like her?
It didn't seem like it, since the two adults came to Katie, looking like they had been really worried.
'Katie, you had us so worried...we have been looking everywhere for you..."Katie's mother said, sounding truly concern.
"You gave us quite a scare, princess...'Her father said while Katie rolled her eyes.
"I am fine mom, dad...I was just on a date is all...'Katie said with her arms crossed, feeling both embarrassed and impatient over her parents interrupting her before she could officially ask Danny to go steady with her as her boyfriend.
Her parents looked surprised.
"A date?...'Her father exclaimed in shock while Danny flinched at that kind of word.
"But Katie, today was suppose to be a family day and you disappeared on us, we tried calling you but you didn't answer us, you had us really worried...'Her mother said.
"I am sorry if I didn't get your call mom, but I am fine, besides, I am a teenager, I can handle myself...'Katie said, being impatient.
During this exchange, Danny took a few steps back, glad to have Katie's claws off of him but also worried too.
"What do we do?...'Tucker asked, wondering what is going on here.
'Will someone explain to me what is happening here?...'Vlad demanded but he was ignored.
"Ugh, mom, dad...I'll talk later but I really need to talk to Danny alone for a second...'Katie said to her parents, her patience beginning to wear thin.
Katie could not believe this. She wanted to ask Danny to officially be her boyfriend and officially start their relationship, but first his sister and friends have to interrupt her, then this creepy mayor and now her parents come here to embarrass her and she couldn't take this anymore. She wants Danny as her boyfriend and she wants that NOW!
"Now Katie, boys are one thing but you can't just run off all willy-nilly like that..."Her father said sternly, having no idea that his daughter was already at her breaking point.
Until it was too late...
"I...CAN...HANDLE...MYSELF!..."Katie said as her voice became low and her eyes started glowing as she started becoming angry...very, very angry.
Her parents and little brother saw this gulp. Danny saw this and screamed.
"NO!..."Danny screamed as he tried to run to Katie in order to calm her down, even if it means kissing her again.
Unfortunately, due to the ground still being wet, he ended up slipping and falling to the ground and it was too late.
"NO!...'Danny shouted and he and everyone else, including Vlad, looked in horror at what happened.
The petite blonde girl started morphing again. Her sparkly blue eyes turned fire engine red, her light skin became a sickly shade of green, her perfectly white teeth now had fangs, her blonde hair became black and straggly and she grew to be about 30 feet tall, making her look like an even bigger, scarier version of what she did on the blind date...ONLY WORSE.
Jazz and Tucker were horrified while Vlad looked stunned.
"What in the world?...'Vlad shouted and Katie roared and stomped the ground, making it rumble and everyone were shaken up .
"GET TO SAFETY! DUCK AND COVER!...'Katie's father shouted as he and his family started looking for a safe spot.
"Danny, wasn't kidding when he called her a monster...'Tucker muttered.
"RUN AWAY!...'Danny yelled as he and the others tried to look for a safe place to hide, including Buttons and the Mime, they hid within one of the stands, while Vlad looked shock and Katie's parents looked like they were trying to reason with her.
"Katie...sweetie...you're overeating...'Katie's mother said, trying to reason with her but its obvious that she is very scared.
"I AM NOT OVERREACTING! I'M A TEENAGER!..."Katie roared as she started stomping around, destroying several stands in the process.
"Listen to your mother Katie, she loves you..."Katie's father begged, desperately trying to calm his monstrous daughter down, but to no avail.
"YOU ALWAYS TAKE HER SIDE!..."Monster Katie roared as she continued her rampage of destruction, while her parents continued to calm her down but with no success.
Danny saw this and couldn't believe it.
"Even her parents are afraid of her..."Danny whispered in horror as he saw Katie's parents now huddling together, begging their daughter to calm down but she is still destroying everything in her path.
Vlad saw this and frowned. He is a little surprised that Daniel didn't immediately change forms to fight this monster, but he saw her having destroyed some of the nearby cars...his including and he got mad.
"Okay, I think I have had enough...'Vlad said, arrogantly believing that he can defeat her.
He hid behind a tree, changed forms and was determined to deal with this girl for both ruining this carnival he invested in for his PR image and even destroyed his car.
"Alright, beastly girl..."Vlad demanded, getting Katie's attention and this is how she reacted.
'RRRRROOOOAAARRR!..."She roared into his face.
"Very well, I suppose I have to deal with you..."Vlad said as he sent a blast at her, but it only bounced off of her, not even doing the least but damage.
Vlad was surprised and tried using his other powers but they didn't seem to have any affect on her.
'What in the world?...'Vlad shouted, only for Katie to grab him in her fist and he couldn't even faze out of it.
"STOP RUINING MY DATE!..."Katie roared and even blew a bunch of fire from her mouth, burning Vlad to a crisp since he couldn't even escape it as intangible. Once she was done, Vlad was covered in ashes and looked injured.
'Ouch...'Vlad said only for Monster Katie to wind up the pinch and threw him far away.
"AHHHH!...'Vlad screamed as he was flung far, far away, disappearing into the horizon.
Tucker, Jasmine and Danny saw this entire thing and couldn't believe it. Vlad was on of Danny's toughest opponents and Katie just flicked him away like he was some insect to her. "
If I wasn't so scared right now, I would have savored watching that...'Danny muttered under his breath and Jazz and Tucker nodded.
Katie continued her fit of destruction.
"I AM NOT A KID ANYMORE! I'M A WOMAN! I JUST WANTED A SIMPLE DATE! IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK?!..."Monster Katie roared loudly as she continued to break everything within her sight.
Danny heard this and started shaking like a leaf, and his sister and Tucker was the look of pure fear on his face, they have never seen him like this before. Danny has fought hundreds of big, scary and dangerous ghosts without cowering. They knew that he was freaked out about Katie and didn't want to date her but this...this...
This is something else...
Danny is really scared of her, more than even they realized.
"Danny..."Jazz thought in both concern for her brother and their own personal safety as the monster girl continued her rampage of destruction.
They weren't the only ones, while The Kaboom parents were busy both trying to dodge their daughter's attack and calm her down, the little boy hid behind behind another booth.
"KATIE, PLEASE CALM DOWN!...'Mr. Kaboom begged.
"I AM CALM!...'Katie shouted as she stomped once more and the force of which shook many of the stands nearby and Tinker hid behind one until this was over.
'AH!...'Tinker screamed and unknown to him, the booth behind him was going to crash down to the force of the stomp...right on top of him.
"TINKER!..."Tinker's parents shouted and the little boy looked back and screamed as he shut his eyes.
"NO!...'A voice shouted and then the stand crashed down.
When the dust cleared up, everyone saw that Danny, having saw Tinker in danger, started running and tried to push him to safety.
"A-Are you okay?...'Danny asked in concern to the child, who groaned in pain.
"OW...My foot..."Tinker cried in pain as Danny then saw that a punch of the debris fell on the child's foot.
He tried to pull it out and Tinker started crying in pain and Danny soon saw the state that his foot was in, it was already swelling and covered in nasty bruises and Tinker is crying now.
Danny was stunned silent when he saw this, he even forgot about the fact that Katie is in her monster form, still breaking things or the fact that he was absolutely terrified of her. All he could see was the injured foot, the child's tears and all he could hear was his crying.
Danny was silent for a moment but it was at that moment that something inside him just...snapped!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!....'Danny let out the loudest scream he ever did that wasn't part of his ghostly wail, startling his sister, best fried, Mime guy, Buttons, The Kaboom family and even managed to get Katie's attention onto him, briefly stopping her rampage for the moment.
'WHAT THE-...'Monster Katie turned around to see that it was Danny screaming and once he was done, his entire face was red, veins were visible on his face and he looked truly, truly angry.
"KATIE!...'Danny shouted at the monster girl, getting her attention.
"WHAT?..."Monster Katie demanded, confused by his sudden behavior.
"LOOK! LOOK AT WHAT YOUR OVERREACTING HAS JUST DONE!...'Danny shouted.
I AM NOT OVERREACTING, I'M-…"Katie was cut off when Danny yelled again.
"A WHAT? A TEENAGER?! THAT DOESN'T MAKE WHAT YOU ARE DOING RIGHT? I'M A TEENAGER, SO BY YOUR LOGIC, IF SOMETHING MAKES ME MAD, IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO DESTROY IT AND SCARE EVERYONE AROUND ME?!..." Danny shouted at her.
Monster Katie was mad, but looked confused at what he just said.
"Scare?...'The monster said but Danny continued yelling at her.
"Because if that's so, you would be my target right now!..."Danny yelled, actually surprising Katie and everyone who heard him.
"Now wait just a moment! My Katie might get carried away at times but-..'Katie's father interjected after hearing what Danny said.
"YOU STAY OUT OF THIS!...'Danny yelled at him, successfully managing to stun the middle aged man into silence.
"IF MY POWERS HAD ANY EFFECT ON YOU, OH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD DO TO A BEAST LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW!...'Danny shouted at her, making Monster Katie stop moving and still looked confused.
"Oh man, we got to stop him before Katie crushes him..."Tucker said as he tried to save Danny but Jazz stop him.
"Wait...look..."Jazz whispered as she and the others looked at Katie.
She actually stopped her destruction and is now just standing there as Danny continued yelling and screaming at her in pure anger.
"Just what are you trying to say?...'Monster Katie asked, no longer roaring, but still with a deep voice.
"Look around you, look at all of the destruction you just caused and not only that, you endangered my life, my sister, my friends and even your own family and to top it all off, your brother's foot got broken because of you…"Danny shouted, making the monster girl blink at what he just said.
"T-Tinker?..."Monster Katie whispered as her glowing red eyes suddenly faded to blue, but she is still in her monster form.
Katie, whenever angry, never really recalls what she does when angered, she remembers yelling, stomping around and at the end, things work upon hearing Tinker's name, the red Katie usually sees faded away and for the first time ever, the teenage monster looked around and saw the carnage of the area, her parents and everyone else fearful expression and she saw Tinker, still clutching his injured leg and she also noticed that he looked scared too.
It caused Katie to blink and her now blue eyes still looked around at the destruction and then to Danny, who still looked at her in such an angry way.
Everyone then noticed that Katie is slowly shrinking with each insult and scream that Danny sent at her. And he's not done yet.
"I….I thought you liked me….'Monster Katie said and Danny looked utterly appalled.
"Like you?! LIKE YOU?! HOW CAN ANYONE LIKE SOMEONE WHO DESTROY THINGS, ENDANGERS INNOCENT PEOPLE AND SCARES PEOPLE INTO DOING WHAT THEY WANT! YOU'RE A MONSTER, KATIE. A BULLY!...'Danny yelled at her
"No, I'm not!...'Monster Katie shouted.
"YES, YOU ARE…WHY DO YOU THINK I TRIED ESCAPING YOU ALL DAY?...'Danny yelled
'Escape?...'Katie exclaimed
"YES, everything I did on our blind date, and today, kissing you when you got ice cream in your hair and buying everything for you…I did it so you would not go on a rampage and hurt people, yet here you are, doing just that and I have had it!..."Danny shouted, his face as red as a tomato and looking pretty steamed.
" YOU…Why…why didn't you just say something if you-…'Monster Katie was cut off once again by Danny's yelling.
"HOW COULD I? I was too busy fearing for my life and the lives of everyone around here! That's why I did everything today and why I kept trying to get away from you… I involved an innocent dog as an excuse, acted like a total idiot... ate that stinky burger, put up with your DEATH KISSES and jumped overboard at the tunnel of love and even dressed up in this ridiculous mime outfit…no offense…'Danny said quickly to the mime, who waved it off. "And tried to sneak out of this carnival because I can't stand to be around a monster like you…well, I'm through being afraid of you Katie…"Danny yelled at her.
"D-Danny..."Monster Katie started but Danny kept yelling at her.
"I DON'T LIKE YOU! READ MY LIPS, KATIE…I….DON'T….LIKE…YOU, SO LEAVE ME ALONE!..."Danny yelled at her.
The entire area was stunned silent by what Danny just did and they were worried that Katie would get even angrier and target everything at the boy. Except something happen that shocked even Katie's very own parents. "
As Danny ended his rant, Katie started shrinking back to her original size, her green skin became light again, her black hair was now blonde again but she now had a downcast expression. Everyone was stunned that while Danny still glaring at her, Katie finally opened her eyes and she...she looked like she was trying hard not to cry. Everyone, Jazz, Tucker, The Mime, Buttons and even Katie's family were completely stunned. Katie looked around, looking at the destruction she caused, as if for the first time ever she has noticed it, she also looked at the other's expressions, her parents scared eyes, Danny's glaring eyes and then her eyes landed on Tinker and his injured foot. Katie's eyes filled with unshed tears before she finally spoke up.
"Mom...dad..."Katie said in a voice that was breaking a bit, but she was trying hard not to let it.
"Y-Yes, darling?...'Katie's mother asked.
Katie tried not to meet Danny's eyes and just looked at her little brother, who is still in their mom's arms and she saw his injured foot, feeling a wave of guilt and shame engulfed her.
"Let's take Tinker to a doctor...and after that..I want to go home...'Katie said, trying hard not to cry while Danny still sent her that look that made her want to hide.
Katie's parents saw this and nodded.
"Yes, honey..."Her father said as they went to tend to her but she didn't want to talk, she started heading for the parking lot, with her parents and Tinker, who is still in his mom's arms who is carrying him. However, before they left, Katie sent one last glance at Danny, who is still sending her that glare.
Katie looked away and continued walking until she and her family hopped into their car and were soon gone. Once she was gone, Danny grumbled.
'Finally"...'Danny muttered.
"If it wasn't for the fact that she nearly killed us, I almost would have felt sorry for her...'Jazz thought...
Tucker and the others appeared, stunned by what just happened.
Danny just defeated a giant, rampaging monster without his powers...by yelling at it...
"Good one Danny..."Tucker said while Buttons and the mime came out of hiding too.
"Are you okay, Danny?...'Jazz asked.
"I will be...I...I just couldn't take it anymore...and I don't regret it...I just couldn't take it anymore...seeing that kid get hurt...I snapped and I don't regret it...'Danny said, happy that he managed to finally reject Katie and she didn't destroyed them .
He's free!
"I think she needed to hear that, little brother..."Jazz said.
Buttons came to Danny, and Danny checked on him to make sure he didn't get hurt.
"I suppose I should be taking you back to your owners...come on...'Danny said, while he and the rest of the party left to go find Buttons family to return him, with even the Mime, who for once, didn't get hurt in some way, followed them, wanting to see this end.
A few moments later
Danny, Jazz and Tucker still could not believe that the rest of the carnival was still in full swing, people were still going on rides and enjoying themselves, despite the giant monster attack.
'What is with this town?...'Danny asked out loud.
However, Buttons started barking and soon saw his family.
"Buttons..."Mindy exclaimed happily as she ran to hug her doggie, while her parents came too.
"There you are Buttons, where have you been all day?..."Mindy's mother demanded to know.
"It's my fault ma'am...I would have returned Buttons sooner but I got...sidetracked...'Danny said, not wanting the dog to get punished when all he did was try and help him all day.
Mindy's parents heard this and seemed okay.
"Well, I suppose no harm was done..."The mother said while her daughter continued hugging her dog.
"Come on now Buttons, we still are going to take Mindy to see the funny clowns and then were taking some pictures...after that, we're going home...'The father said to the dog who barked excitedly.
However, before he left, the large dog licked Danny again, causing him to giggle.
"Buttons likes you, Mr. Man...'Mindy said as she giggled.
"It's...Oh, never mind...'Danny shrugged as the dog kept licking him.
"Buttons seems to really have taken a liking to you...'Mindy's mom noticed.
"It's mutual...'Danny said as he petted him.
"You know, if you ever need a job, we could use a dog sitter every now and again...'Mindy's dad said.
"I'll think about it..."Danny answered after he finished petting the dog.
Soon the family and large dog soon left to enjoy the rest of the carnival that wasn't destroyed by Katie's rampage, and Danny waved goodbye to his canine friend.
He was about to leave, only to see the mime again.
"Oh yeah...Mime guy...thank you again for all your help and sorry you nearly got hurt when Katie went berserk...'Danny said but the Mime waved it off.
He then pointed to himself, then Danny and did the "Ok" gesture, which made Danny smile.
"Glad to hear that...thanks again and bye...'Danny and the others waved as the mime soon left to go do whatever he had to do.
'At least something good came from this whole experience...'Jazz commented.
"And what's that?...'Danny demanded, wondering what good could have possibly come from this whole thing.
"You made two new, good friends...'Jazz said and Danny considered it.
"I guess..."'Danny shrugged.
'What time is it?..."Danny asked.
"It's almost four, we still have 6 hours until curfew...are you sure you still want to go home, Danny?...'Jazz asked.
Danny thought about it. The only reason he wanted to leave was because of Katie, but now she is gone and he had no reason to be scared now.
"We came here to have fun and now that Katie is gone...well...maybe we can finally have some..."Danny said, surprising his sister and best friend.
"You sure, dude?..." Tucker asked.
" I'm sure...you know me...I always bounce back once the danger is over..." Danny said, making them smile.
The trio teenagers soon left to finally enjoy the (NOT) destroyed part of the carnival, to at least enjoy a few hours of fun. Unknown to them the Warner Brothers and sister had witnessed the whole thing and for once they weren't laughing. If any say, they felt sorry for Katie.
"Poor Katie...'Dot said as she put the binoculars down.
"You know what they say...it's better to have loved and then lost than never to have loved at all...'Yacko said, while Wacko looked confused.
"Should we be worried about this?..."Wacko asked.
After all,Katie, Buttons and The Mime would be very affected from this experience.
Yacko and Dot just shrugged.
"Eh, why not...Productions is over anyway and we still got reruns..." Yakko Shrugged before he and his siblings left to go cause chaos elsewhere.
Making it the end to one very, very insane-y day for everyone.
