Here's the next part of "Pirates' Night Out". Last time, Jimmy decided to take Blossom out on a not-date to cheer her up, and elsewhere, Mandy and her crew have to try and teach Pirate Lord: Manny what it's like to be a pirate. Also, Bubbles and Buttercup have to find Danny after a misunderstanding before the full moon rises.
Enjoy the last part...
Pirates' Night Out: Part 2
Back on the island, Danny was there standing at booth that had a bunch of items there on sale. Danny put a couple gold coins on the counter as the Shy Guy clerk gave him a small gray box.
"Thanks." Danny said. "These will be perfect."
He turned around and walked away with the gift as he opened his silver pocket watch. But as soon as he looked at the time, he got a shocked look. "Oh no. It's that late already." He stuffed the watch in his back pocket and began running.
He then changed into ghost form and flew into the sky. But it wasn't long until he stopped and spotted the full moon rising in the distance. He seemed to go absent-minded for a few seconds until he shook his head and closed his eyes.
He landed on the ground and changed into human form with his hands over his eyes. "Man, that was close." He told himself with his eyes covered. "I can't fly home like this."
Danny walked over to a tree, bumping into the trunk. "Ow! I guess I'm stuck here. One look and I'm done for."
He continued blindly walking around the foods with hands out, trying to feel around. But then he bumped into something else. "Ow- a tree." He continued walking until he bumped into something else. "Ow- another tree." As he kept walking he soon tripped on something and fell forward into something bushy. "AH! A THORN BUSH!"
But what he didn't know was that on the other side of the island were Billy, Mandy, Grim, and Squidward who were sitting around doing nothing until Manny jumped over with a purple handbag.
"Alright," Manny said as he held out the bag. "I stole this purse from an old lady in a rocker."
He dumped it out on the floor with a bunch of slips of paper falling on the ground. "Coupons?" Squidward questioned in disappointment. "You mean all you stole were coupons?"
Billy picked up the coupons in both his hands and shouted, "YES! WE'RE RICH!"
"Well…" Manny said sheepishly. "I guess I should've looked IN the purse to see if there were jewels inside."
"This is hopeless." Grim said, slapping his forehead. "He'll never be a real pirate at this rate."
Then Mandy said, "I'll give you points for enthusiasm. But if you wanna be a Pirate Lord, you gotta do better." She threw him a telescope. "See if you can find someone else."
Manny looked through the telescope to see the forest below the cliff. As he searched, he soon spotted Danny Fenton sitting on the ground with his hands over his eyes.
"I see someone!" Manny said with a smile. "He's in the forest and it looks like he can't see!"
"Well, that should be easy." Squidward said with his arms crossed. "Go steal his treasure so we can leave."
"And bring back something valuable." Mandy insisted.
"Yes Ma'am!" Manny saluted and climbed down the cliff.
Meanwhile, back in town, Jimmy and Blossom were sitting at a table outside a restaurant. Having finished their dinner, they were staring at the full moon in the sky.
"The moon sure is beautiful tonight, isn't it?" Blossom asked with a dreamy smile.
"Yeah, I guess it is." Jimmy simply replied as he stared also. "I can't even remember the last time I was able to look at the full moon without having to worry about Danny."
"That reminds me," Blossom said with a concerned look. "Is he okay?"
"Oh sure. Your sisters know about it, so they should be able to protect Danny."
Blossom then glanced down as she asked, "Hey Jimmy, I was wondering…how DID Danny get his powers? You said it was a lab accident, right?"
"Why, yes, it was." Jimmy nodded. "In fact, it was about a month before we became pirates. You see, we were playing in town one day when we came across this abandoned building."
A flashback goes along with Jimmy's words…In Tortoonga, Jimmy and Timmy were laughing as they ran through town. They go into an ally and pant heavily with a smile as they lean against the wall.
"Argh!" Danny shouted as he popped out from a corner of the wall with a wooden sword. "Captain Danny Fenton has found you, scanty crew!"
Timmy pulled out his wooden sword and aimed it at Danny. "We're not going down without a fight!"
"Then I guess you won't be getting this treasure map." The teen taunted as he held out a rolled up piece of paper.
Danny ran out of the ally with Timmy chasing him and Jimmy following.
But suddenly, Jimmy stopped in front of a building that was boarded up from the outside. He saw a window and walked over to it, stepping on his tip-toes to try and reach up to it to look inside.
"Jimmy?" Timmy asked as he and Danny walk over to him.
"What are you still doing here?" Danny asked.
"This building," Jimmy told them. "It used to be a science lab, didn't it?"
"Yeah," Danny nodded. "My parents used to work here, but it shut down a year ago. No one goes in there anymore."
"That's a shame." Jimmy frowned in disappointment. "I really wanted to see all the equipment in there."
"Then let's check it out." Timmy suddenly insisted.
"What?" Danny and Jimmy both exclaimed.
"But we can't." Danny pointed out. "It's off-limits."
But Timmy just replied, "Which is why we're gonna sneak in."
Jimmy and Danny still looked unsure, but Timmy just went over to the side of the building and found a small hole that he could crawl through. Jimmy crouched through the hole also to follow him, along with Danny, who unfortunately got stuck in the small hole and struggled to pull his body through.
Jimmy and Timmy failed to notice this as they were looking around the old run-down lab that was full of forgotten equipment, dust-covered tables and boxes of weapons, cobwebs on the metal walls and ceiling, and an interesting octagon shape on the wall.
Jimmy was staring at everything in complete interest and enthusiasm. "This is astounding!" he said as he wiped some of the dust off of a vacuum-like device. "All these scientific devices are well-manufactured and completely methodical of all things scientific such as paranormal and Albert Einstein's theory of relativity." He then got a dreamy look as he got almost-glowing eyes. "I could stay here for all eternity."
As Timmy stared at him, he rolled his eyes and slapped his forehead. "Oh brother."
Danny finally managed to pull himself through the hole, and he stood up with an annoyed look. "Okay, we saw what was in here." He said as he wiped the dirt off his clothes. "Can we please get out of here now?"
"No!" Jimmy immediately shouted as he hugged a book he found in his arms. "We can stay a little longer…I mean, it's not hurting anyone."
Timmy was looking at the large octagon on the wall and saw the inside had metal walls and electrical wiring. "What do you think this thing is?"
Jimmy rushed over and peeked inside. "It looks like a type of portal that seems to be deactivated. I can only imagine what it would possibly lead to if it were galvanized. I have to check it out."
"Jimmy, no!" Danny warned as he grabbed a hold of the genius's shoulder to stop him from going in. "We have no idea what could be in there, so you're not going in."
"Alright, you scardy-cat." Timmy dully said. "If you're so worried, why don't you go see what's inside?"
"Me?" Danny asked in surprised. "No way."
"Please Danny." Jimmy begged. "If you can go in and share with us the astonishing things inside, I'll be quite content."
Danny rolled his eyes and finally said, "Fine, I'll do it."
Then Timmy was digging in a box and pulled out a white and black jumpsuit. "Here, you should put this on." He tossed it to Danny. "You never know if it might be contaminated in there."
Danny reluctantly put on the suit and hesitated a bit before finally going inside. Jimmy and Timmy anxiously wait as they watch Danny go inside. But when Danny was walking around inside, he unknowingly placed his hand on an 'ON' button and a green flash suddenly appeared that caused Danny to scream. Jimmy and Timmy see this and they gasp in shock.
When it finally stopped, they see a green portal with Danny stepping out of it, now wearing a black and white jumpsuit and had white hair. Danny groaned weakly as he hunched over, holding his head.
'It was the most astonishing thing.' Jimmy narrated. 'But Timmy and I were still concerned about Danny of course. He didn't look like himself at all, mentally and physically.'
"Danny!" Jimmy said as he rushed over to the now ghostly Danny as he fell over. But when he tried to catch him, Danny just fell right through him as if he were made of mist.
'We didn't know what was going on. When I touched Danny, his body felt like icy wind. It wasn't long until we realized, he had become a spectral paralysis!'
Danny was lying on his back on the floor, looking unconscious. Jimmy and Timmy look over him in concern as they see Danny open his glowing green eyes.
"Jimmy…" Danny said weakly. "…Timmy."
The flashback ends as Jimmy continues telling Blossom, "After that, Timmy and I carried Danny to our home and laid him in bed, after he woke up, he was just as shocked as we were- if not more. But it wasn't long until we learned he was only half-ghost and had the abilities of a ghost."
"You mean like… invisibility, intangibility, overshadowing, and flying?" Blossom knowingly guessed.
"Correct. After Danny started to get the hang of his powers, he began to become something like a superhero and call himself 'Danny Phantom'. Things became very interesting after that."
Then Blossom asked, "But what about the moon thing?"
"Oh yeah," Jimmy uncomfortably remembered, "That's one of the downside to his powers. When we first heard that story from a sailor, Danny refused to believe it at first. But he sure regretted that as soon as he took that first glance."
Another flashback goes back to Tortoonga at nighttime when Jimmy, Timmy, and Danny are in their house. Danny was holding a metal bucket as he turned to his friends, "I'm gonna go outside and get water for a bath."
Jimmy looked nervous as he asked, "But, Danny…what about the moon?"
Danny just rolled his eyes, "Jimmy, I told you, it's just a bunch of sailor stories. In case you've forgotten, I'm a ghost, not a werewolf." Then he began walking out the front door. "I'll be back in a minute."
Once Danny was gone, Timmy looked at Jimmy with a smirk. "You're so superstitious."
"I'm contemporary to this paranormal stuff, remember?" Jimmy replied with a glare.
Just outside the shack, Danny was standing in front of a faucet which he leaned down to turn the knob and run water into the bucket. Danny waited for it to fill, not noticing the full moon rising over the ocean in the distance.
Once the bucket was full of water, Danny turned faucet off and struggled slightly as he carried the heavy bucket back inside. But then he stopped when caught sight of the moon over him, and he began to go absent-minded as his eyes glow green and he dropped the bucket on the ground, causing all the water to spill out.
Jimmy and Timmy were still hanging around inside the house. 'After a while, we had notice Danny had not returned after a minute and thirty seconds.' Jimmy's voice narrated.
"Timmy, have you noticed that Danny has not returned yet?" Jimmy asked with suspicion.
"Maybe he forgot how to turn the water on again." Timmy responded with a shrug.
But Jimmy grabbed Timmy by his arm and started dragging him outside. "We should go check on him just to be safe."
The two went outside and Jimmy began to narrate again as the story followed his words, 'We went outside and saw no one there. All we could find was the bucket that Danny had brought with him outside. We weren't expecting that Danny would show up the way he was- though I was… a bit.'
As Jimmy and Timmy had their backs turn, a familiar shadow approached them from behind. The two then turn and hold each other before screaming at the top of their lungs, "AAAHHH!"
The flashback ends with Jimmy cringing in slight fear. "Danny's behavior was quite different when we found him. He was talking a bunch of nonsense, changed into his ghost form, and flew away so he can try to scare everybody in town."
"Oh my," Blossom said amazed. "What did you do?"
"Timmy and I had to chase after him all night." He grabbed his arm which was possibly bruised at the time. "But he sure didn't make it easy for us." Then he shuddered. "I can still remember his laugh during the time he was first vexed by the moon. If we're not careful, Danny could turn into a complete psychotic loon every month."
Then Blossom noticed, "You don't seem that worried about Danny right now, knowing you're not with him."
"I was." Jimmy easily answered, now calm. "But he's with your sisters and I'm sure he'll be okay with them."
But unfortunately, Danny was still sitting in the forest with his eyes tightly closed shut, trying not to look at the full moon above him.
"I can't stay here all night, blind-sighted." Danny said to himself. "I gotta get to the ship. But if I go ghost, I'll be vulnerable and I can't fly if I can't see."
He stood up and began to blindly try and walk forward. But what he didn't know was that Manny was in a tree sneaking down upon him. While the ghost boy was cautiously making his way through the forest, Manny tiptoed over behind him and placed his hand in his back-pocket.
Danny yelped in shock as he felt him. "Wha-? Aah! What's going on? Who's there?"
Manny quickly took his hand out of his pocket and found he had stolen his silver pocket watch. He grinned in success until Danny turned around with his eyes still shut.
"Alright, who's there?" Danny demanded to know. "Are you some kind of pick-pocket? What did you take from me?"
"You have to open your eyes to see." Manny said with a smirk. "But by that time, I'll be long gone."
He laughed as he ran away, but Danny still had his eyes shut. "You're lucky I can't see right now!" he shouted after him.
But up in the sky, Bubbles and Buttercup were looking toward the ground for Danny. It wasn't long until Bubbles smiled and shouted; "I see him!" she turned around to Sam and Jenny, who were on the ground below them. "I see him!"
The Girls fly toward Danny as Sam and Jenny run after them. Danny still had his eyes closed until Bubbles and Buttercup zoom in front of him. "Danny!" they shouted.
Danny yelped and threw his hands in front of him, "Who's there? What do you want?"
"Oh no!" Bubbles cried out. "We're too late! The moon made him forget us!"
"What? Bubbles?" Danny began to recognize. "Is that you?"
"Danny, you're still you?" Buttercup realized.
"Buttercup!" Danny smiled, recognizing her also. "Boy, am I glad to see you guys."
Bubbles took out a red cloth. "Here, put this on." She put it over Danny's eyes and tied it around his head. "It's your lucky blindfold Jimmy gave us."
Once the blindfold was secure around his eyes, Danny gave a smile and said, "I still can't see, but I guess this is better."
"Danny?" he stopped when he heard Sam's voice.
"Sam?" Danny asked to where the voice came from. "Sam!"
He suddenly ran over with his arms held out and wrapped them around his girlfriend- only what he didn't know was that he was actually hugging Jenny.
"Sam, I can't believe you're out here!" He said happily until he shivered. "Oh man, why do you feel so cold?"
"Uh...Danny?" Sam asked as she watched with an annoyed look. "I'm over here."
Jenny pushed Danny off of her as she asked, "And we wanna know what you're doing all the way out here?"
"Um…" Danny nervously answered as he scratched the back of his head. "There's a funny story to all that."
Sam went over to him and scolded, "I told you about tonight and you left anyway."
Danny put his hands on the side of Sam's head and then on her shoulders until he realized it was her. "Sam…" he said with a sigh. "I'm sorry, but…I just didn't wanna see you in pain anymore."
Sam sighed also and responded, "Danny, I know I told you it hurt and I was mad about it, but that didn't mean you had to risk yourself just for me. I would've been just fine, knowing you were safe."
Bubbles flew over to them and asked, "So does this means you're not breaking up?"
"Breaking up?" Danny questioned to Sam. "What is she-?"
But then Buttercup asked, "What did you come all the way out here for anyway?"
"Oh!" Danny remembered as he dug into his front pocket and pulled out the small box. "Here, I know this will help." He held it out, hoping he was facing Sam.
The Goth princess took the box and took off the lid, surprised to find a pair of black gloves inside. "Oh, Danny." She smiled. "They're wonderful."
"Aww…" Bubbles, Buttercup, and Jenny smiled.
"Those will definitely keep you from getting splinters." Bubbles pointed out.
"And at least that isn't the thing that got pick-pocketed from me." Danny mentioned with his arm around Sam.
"Pick-pocket?" Sam questioned, raising a brow.
Up on the hill, Manny had returned to Mandy, Grim, Billy, and Squidward with the treasure he had stolen unknowingly from Danny.
Mandy examined the watch. "Hmm…looks valuable," she thought out loud. "And has great work on it." Then she tossed the watch to Billy. "Alright, you passed. Now what do you think about being a pirate?"
"Well…" Manny answered with a smile. "Stealing the watch was pretty fun and easy, and the danger of sword fighting was really exciting. So, I think I'll choose being a pirate as well as a Pirate Lord- at least so I can help you guys save the world from the Darkness."
"So you'll come with us?" Squidward asked hopefully.
"Aye, aye." Manny answered proudly.
Squidward cheered while Mandy continued to frown as she and the two walked away.
Billy continued to look at the watch with inquisitive eyes. "Hmm…there's something very familiar about this treasure." He said to Grim.
"Who cares?" Grim dully replied, "Let's just get back to boat so we can start heading out of here."
"Alright." Billy said excitedly as he stuffed the watch in his pocket and followed the others.
Meanwhile, back in the town, Jimmy and Blossom were sitting by the pier with the moon shining brightly over the ocean.
"Hey Jimmy," Blossom said to the genius with a smile. "This has been so much fun. If this had been a date, it would've been the best date I've ever been on."
Jimmy, who was sucking through a straw from his soda, suddenly spat out his drink and hesitantly replied, "Yeah, I suppose, even though it's not a date." Then he threw away his can and began to stand up. "We should probably start heading back. We still have a long way to go till we reach the Meeting Point."
Blossom gave a heavy sigh before standing up and the two began to walk back to the docks. "I'm still not sure about all this. How do we even know all this is gonna work? The Darkness is just gonna try and swallow me, and that Eliminator is gonna try and throw me into the Darkness before destroying me himself."
Jimmy gave a little smile as he replied, "Technically that Eliminator trying to destroy you would be improbable since with you within the Darkness, he would be unable to attain you, so therefore be incapable of…" he then noticed Blossom giving him a glare which caused him to stop talking and chuckle sheepishly.
"But as we both know, the others are bringing the Pirate Lords, so with their help, we'll be able to stop the Darkness and keep you protected from it."
"Are you sure?" Blossom asked.
Jimmy nodded in certainty until Blossom suddenly launched herself around Jimmy, giving him a big hug, surprising him and causing him to blush hard. While Blossom continued to hug him, Jimmy looked at his watch and said in a fake casual tone, "Oh gee, look at the time. Captain Max and Ben are probably worried about us."
Blossom let go of Jimmy and said, "You're probably right. It is pretty late." Then she grabbed his hand and said, "Let's hurry….because we got Pirate Lords to meet."
Without warning, she happily zoomed off in a flash of pink with Jimmy yelping, yet he was glad to see his friend back to her normal self.
The End
It looks like all the Pirate Lords have been gathered and the battle with the Darkness is drawing near. Please review and look out for the next story where the pirate crews will save the world.
