"Make Your Checks Out to HORROR!"

One day at Amity Park in Fenton Works, it has been the most exhausting afternoon for Dani Fenton and her friends at school since it has been quite a slow day for the trio, not to mention how much work they had to do.

"Agh! I'm so dead!" Dani groaned as she phased into her room in her ghost form before she changed back into her human half. She walked up to her bed, looking worn out as her best friends, Sam Manson and Tina Foley, followed her inside and closed the door behind them. Dani then flopped lazily on her bed. "Who knew learning stuff in grouping for approval of our peers could be so exhausting?"

Sam flopped on one of her beanbags while Tina sat on her computer chair, both of them looking equally as tired as her. "Seven thirty to three thirty? School's like...an eight hour day!" Tina said.

"And everyday's a battle, especially when I have to battle something." Dani shifted around as she settled on her back. "Is this it, guys? Is the fun over? Is life just downhill from here?"

Tina smiled a little as she held out her hand. "No way! Life would get heck of alot better when someone pays us to work our butts off."

The right on cue, Dani's mother, Jackie Fenton, barged into the room with her usual bright smile. "Hello, youngsters! How was school?" She wondered.

"Well, it was pretty exhau-" Dani began to say, but got interrupted by her mother.

"That's super! Your father and I need the help of three strong hands down in the lab, so let's hop to!"

Dani brightened up a little when she smiled. "How much are you paying?"

Jackie crossed her arms and frowned a little. "I pay you to do the laundry and clean the dishes. This you'll do for the love of science!"

Jackie dragged her daughter and her friends down to the lab, where they see a giant machine with a bike, several generators scattered around the lab, and an oscilloscope on the counter. Jackie placed Dani by a generator where she leaned on it while she gave her mother a confused frown.

"Lean all your weight onto that photon generator, kid. It refuses to generate photons unless someone tips it a bit to the left." Jackie explained.

"Our equipment is a tap persnickety." Matt said with a smile as he held onto Sam, who was wearing some headphones before he made him hold up a satellite up high towards the window. "Sam, just aim your satellite dish into the sky above that neon taco sign. That's where Star Net Seven is in geosynchronous orbit with our lab."

"But-but-" Sam shuttered.

"Quiet! Don't speak or move a muscle for the next thirty seven in a half minutes!" Sam cringed a little when the man's outburst, but he did as he was told.

"Man, Fenton Works sure is low fi." Tina commented with her hands on her hips.

"Nonsense, Tina." Jackie said as she held up a blue coffee mug. "Here, take this World's Best Dad coffee mug and pound on top of the oscilloscope whenever it goes all fuzzy."

Right on cue, the monitor went all fuzzy. Tina stared down at the mug in confusion before she pounded it on the device. It immediately got itself to work again as she smiled brightly. "Hey, I'm a real life scientist!"

"Matt, hon, crank her up!"

Matt jumped on the bike and began to paddle hard as it began to power up the device with its properties beginning to work. The trio, though, were all still oblivious about the device's functions when they glanced at each other.

"What's all this supposed to do?" Dani asked her parents.

"Now it should evaporate every ghost being within my cell phone calling area, with no roaming charges." Jackie explained as she held up a cell phone close to her.

Sam, Tina, and Dani then all exchanged nervous looks this time. Since Dani was part ghost, it could affect her badly. She gulped nervously while she smiled weakly at her mother. "Uh...gee, Mom, maybe we shouldn't-"

They all suddenly heard the doorbell ring when they all stopped what they were doing and glanced up at the ceiling in wonder.

Jackie cocked an eyebrow in confusion. "Now who in blazes could that be?" She asked.

Then Jackie's eldest son, James, came running into the lab with a nervous look on his face. "Mom! Dad!" He said nervously before Agents O and K of the Gals in White suddenly jumped into the lab with their guns in their hands as they aimed it at the Fentons. "There's someone here to see you!"

The Fentons, Sam, and Tina all gasped in shock at the sight of the Gals in White in the lab, making Dani worried of why they were there and what they were up to now.


Theme Song:

(She's a phantom)

(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)

Yo, Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)

When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged

(Phantom, Phantom)

When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!

(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)


The Gals in White continued to aim their guns at the Fentons, Sam, and Tina as they all stared at them, but Jackie looked more happy to see them in her house again.

"Well, if it isn't my heroines, the Gals in White!" Jackie said with delight.

"I'm surprised you rang the bell. Don't you usually knock down a wall or crash through the ceiling?" Matt pointed out as he glared at the agents and crossed his arms.

The agents exchanged looks before they stowed their guns back in their coats. "Sorry, habit." Agent O said.

Agent K then cleared her throat before she looked down at her card. "The government is sorry about all the past...misunderstandings." She read out loud reluctantly.

"Like labeling you a crackpot, Fenton. That was…" Agent O looked at her card, looking equally as reluctant. "Wrong of us."

"The government now admits that you Fentons are...well...geniuses."

"Well, it's about doggone time!" Jackie exclaimed happily while the agents both remained silent with their hands behind their backs.

Matt even softened at their words. "Oh, Jackie, finally! Government approval of our work!" He said in relief.

"About that work, the government has authorized us to buy it lock, stock, and barrel." Agent K added.

"Ha! Don't be ridiculous! I've poured my heart, soul, and life's blood into this laboratory and you can't put a price on that. Fenton Works is not for sale." Jackie said as she gestured to the lab before she crossed her arms. Agent O then pulled out a small check and it expanded into a much larger one, changing her expression when she smiled in amazement and excitement. "Wow! That's a lot of zeroes!" She pulled out her keys above Agent O's hand. "It's all yours."

Dani, Tina, and Sam's eyes widened in fear when Jackie dropped the keys to their home, lab, everything to the hands of the Gals in White while the agents smiled in somewhat satisfaction.

"Jackie! You can't sell our home!" Matt scolded, until his wife showed him the large check and he immediately changed his mind in amazement. "Wow! That's a lot of zeroes! We'll be out by noon tomorrow."

"Wait just a minute! Eh...what about the Fenton Portal? If we sell the house, how will I...uh, you access the Ghost Zone?!" Dani asked worriedly.

"We're rich, kid! From now on, we'll just pay someone to answer tough questions like that!" Jackie said before she and her husband kissed the check and cuddle it with love. Dani and James only exchange shocked expressions at their parent's sudden change of behavior.

"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you all to step away from government property." Agent K said as she took the satellite device away from Sam's hands. Then, she took the mug away from Tina, who stuck her tongue out before she walked away with a glare.

Dani, meanwhile, walked to the keypad next to the Fenton Ghost Portal and began to type a password that locked the portal with three steel bonds before she walked away to join the others.


The next day, the Fentons have moved into their brand new large blue mansion as the moving truck drove away after they placed their furniture in the manson.

"Thanks for moving us in, fellas!" Jackie called out, holding a broken lamp. "Oh, and don't worry about the broken stuff! We'll just buy new! We're rich!" She tossed the lamp aside as another truck drove in with new science equipment. "Ah, new lab equipment." She inhaled deeply and sighed in satisfaction. "Oh, that new lab equipment smell."

"Yeah, the smelliest. Where do you want this stuff, ma'am?" A woman asked her.

"It's all goes down to the billiard room, or as I like to call it…" Jackie then stroke a dramatic pose. "Fenton Works II! This time, it's personal." The women only stared at her blankly and dully.

"What in the name of ego?!" Vladia Masters exclaimed in her morning robe as she picked up a newspaper. She looked surprised to see that Jackie Fenton was moving in next door to her own mansion. "Jackie Fenton? What-what are you doing here in Ultra Polish Polterheist?"

"Moving in, mayor! I mean, Vladia...I mean...neighbor!"

"But you can't afford this neighborhood!"

"Ha! I can now! You should've seen the size of the check we got! Sucker was yeh big! I see a cozy girl's night out in our future."

Vladia turned away in displeasure as she began muttered to herself, that the woman she has been trying to kill was moving in right next door with her. "Oh, yes yes, of course, that sounds fun. Akend to sticking hot curlers in my-"

"Jackie!" Matt exclaimed as he burst through the doors with a bright look on his face. "You won't believe it! I got lost...in my walking closet! I finally got a ride out on my automated shoe rack." He then noticed that Vladia was smiling at him, which made him look unimpressed since he still didn't quite trust her. "Oh, hello, Vladia. We're neighbors?"

Vladia's expression changed at the sight of the love of her life. "Indeed. I forgot for a moment that you would be moving in with Jackie. I'll pop by later and drop off a 'welcome to the block' baut cake."

"Ohhhh." Jackie and Matt said with anticipation.

The Fenton couple walk into their new mansion. Their new living room was larger than their own, the floors and walls were shinier and cleaner and rare portraits hanged on their wall.

"Well, it doesn't get much better than this! An embarrassingly big home, money to burn, and now baut cake!" Jackie exclaimed. An elevator opened as it revealed an old woman with a tray of empty glasses. Matt stroke into a martial pose, but the woman merely cocked an eyebrow. "Matthew, meet Natalie Hobson. She came with the place. Isn't that cool?"

"A butler? Oh, that is cool." He said with amazement.

"Hm, positively radical." Hobson said with a british accent. "Mistress Danielle and her friends requested another round of exoctic milkshakes. This time they want…" She cringed in disgust like she was trying not to throw up. "Kiwi fudge."

In Dani's new humongous bedroom, Dani was pacing around her room while she thought to herself. Sam was leaning by the window as he looked as skeptical as Dani was since he was also thinking to himself, and Tina sipped her already-empty glass of shake on a chair before she sighed in satisfaction.

"That Hobson makes a mean shake." She said as she held up her empty glass.

"She's had enough practice. How many have you had in the last hour?" Sam asked as he cocked an eyebrow.

"Four. Dani says we can make ourselves at home, right D?"

Dani stopped pacing and glanced at her friend when she pulled her out of her thoughts. "What's that? Oh yeah, sure...at home." She said as she looked down at the floor with a look of doubt.

Tina noticed her expression and looked confused as she stood from her seat. "What's with you, girl? Cheer up! I mean, look at your new room. You got three column three big screen TVs, the biggest stereo speakers I've ever seen, hooked up to the tiniest digital music player known to man, and this video game chair…" Tina jumped onto one of the video game chairs and spun around before she faced her friend again with a smile. "Is heaven in nagahide!"

"I know I'm lucky, it's just...I'm worried about accessing the Ghost Zone."

Sam smiled at Dani as he crossed his arms. "Finally. I thought I was the only one freaking out to your folks selling out to the man."

"Weren't there two women?" Tina asked.

Sam frowned at her. "I mean the government!" He looked out the window with a look of suspicion on his face. "I don't trust those girls. They're up to something, bad, I know it. They wouldn't just buy Fenton Works unless they needed it for their own little agendas."

"Okay he's talking crazy and you're bugging me out." Tina said as she looked at Sam before she pointed at Dani. "Life just got a lot better for you, for all of us. I say we kick back, watch three movies at once, and enjoy."

She pressed a button on the remote at the three TVs and they each show Jackie Chan fighting a group of gangsters, a race car racing in first place, and Space Wars as two spaceships fired at a single smaller ship.

"Well, I did put a lock on the Ghost Portal." Dani admitted as she sat on another game controller chair and watched the movies with Tina. "Maybe you're right."

"Of course I'm right. Help yourself, girl." Tina said as she pointed and Dani turned around to see Hobson with another tray of two refilled milkshakes.

"Kiwi fudge shake, Mistress Danielle." She said.

"Don't mind if I do." Dani said as she took a glass and sipped from the straw before she licked her lips in satisfaction. "Mm mm mm! Hey, you think you whip up one of these babies using cheese puffs and bacon?"

Hobson gagged in disgust again before she walked away. "Certainly, madam." Dani and Tina really did have weird sweet teeth, since they would eat any kind of milkshake with different types of food, no matter how disgusting it sounded.

Sam stared blankly at his friends before he looked through Dani's telescope and overlooked the old Fenton Works. He witnessed lights flashing from the windows, making him wonder what they were really doing and why they really brought Fenton Works. The government wouldn't authorize the Gals in White to buy the whole place for nothing, and he had a nasty feeling in his guts that they were planning something for their own benefit more than for the world.

"They're up to something, and I'm gonna find out what it is." Sam said to himself with a look of suspicion and determination on his face, wanting to get to the bottom of things.

Meanwhile, back at the Fenton Works lab, Sam's suspicions about the Gals in White were proven right since they have been working on something big in the old lab.

"Operative L, haven't you got that sonic transducer powered up yet?" Agent K asked impatiently.

"I'm trying to find some place to plug it in. This lab is a joke, completely primitive." Operative L said, quite unimpressed about the look of the lab, until she smiled when she found an opening slot. "Ah! Here's an empty sackett." She plugged the lead in near the wall, but only ended up in her getting electrocuted before she flew across the room and all the power went off.

"Great, now we can't even see all the junk that doesn't work."

Then the lights suddenly came back on as they all turned to see Agent M with the coffee mug on top of the photon generator. "I think I did it, sir. I just set this World's Best Dad mug on this photon generator and the lights came on. How in the world did an idiot like Fenton stumble onto a Ghost Zone portal working in this dump?" She asked as she looked around the lab.

"Unknowable. Let's just figure out something concrete, like how to unlock the darn portal. After all..." Agent K gestured to the Fenton Ghost Portal that was still locked up tight, thanks to Dani. She grinned as she walked over to a huge white missile at the end of the lab. "We have a missile to launch."


Back at the Fenton Works II the next day, Matt and Jackie began to unpack their things and equipment for their brand new golden-metal lab. Jackie was pressing some buttons on a control panel while Matt dug through his boxes and he frowned like he couldn't find something.

"Oh, poop. I think I left my lucky mug back at the old lab." He said.

"Well, it's Uncle Sam's now, but relax. I just hooked up our new matter fashioner by GhostCo!" Jackie said proudly before she poured some gray powder into the giant machine. "I just pour the polly stirrett matter pallets into the tray, type in the desire atoms UPC code, and…" A new blue World's Best Dad mug then appeared in a matter of seconds. "Hey, presto! Here's your mug!" Matt took the mug and smiled at his wife while she smiled with her arms crossed. "Dad."

"There's coffee in it." Matt took a sip and smiled warmly at the taste. "Mmm, sumatran."

"I spared no expense setting up Fenton Works II. We've got every doohickey, thingamabob known to science. Like this bad boy." She turned to her new machine again as it started drilling a hole in the wall where the new Fenton Portal would be. "My brand spanking new Reality Drill, also by GhostCo. As we speak, it's cutting us a new portal to the Ghost Zone."

A screen opened at the wall and a screen showed James in his new room with his own personal library. "Uh, hello?" He called with a smile.

"Who's that?" Jackie and Matt demanded when at first it spooked then until they noticed James on TV, looking concerned.

"James! Are you okay?! Have you been captured?!" Jackie asked urgently.

"Hello, I'm on the video intercom!" He pointed out.

Jackie then smiled like she didn't even know about the video intercoms. "Whoa, I didn't know we had one of those puppies."

"This house is perfect! DId you know my wing has its own fully stocked library?"

"That's great, son. You know, you look very handsome on screen." Matt said to his son.

"Have Hobson serve my dinner in the stats. I'll be in natural sciences between celestial mechanics and the samoas. James out!" And he hung up when the screen blacked off.

Matt then ran to his new desk, but it wobbled when he placed his weight on it. "Oh darn, my new desk wobbles."

Jackie only smiled when she brought out a big stack of cash before she slipped it underneath one of the legs and held it steady. "Well, there's no problem money can't solve."

In Dani's new bedroom, she played roughly on her new video game chair while it moved around madly as she played against her butler, Hobson. "You are going down! Boom! Bwam! Come on, put up a fight!" She exclaimed until she has beaten Hobson's avatar and game over, which made her sighed in annoyance. "I win, again. Hobson, you stink at this game."

"Beg your pardon, Mistress Danielle, there was precious little gaming while I was a youth during the Brits." She said.

Dani tossed him her phone. "Try Tina again. At least she'll put up a halfway decent fight." Hobson did as she was told and dialed in Tina's number.

Up on the roof of the old Fenton Works, Tina's phone rang and she answered it to her ear, looking unimpressed. "Dani, I can't believe you ditched school. We had a test, girl." She said before she smiled. "Oh! Hey, Hobson. Yeah, I'll hold."

"Tin, get over here! I got Caveman Auto-E! It's rated E for entrails!" Dani said through the phone excitedly.

That made the techno-geek look shocked before she frowned again. "Hold up, you skipped school and flunked the test to play video games?"

"Cool, right? You were right, Tina, I got it made."

"But I didn't-"

"Thanks to that lock I put on the portal, there's been a decrease in uh…'unwanted visitors'. Finally, I can kick back and relax."

"But we're supposed to meet Sam at the old Fenton Works. He said something weird is going on there."

"I've got more important stuff to do and a cool old guy to do it for me." And Dani hung up, but it was really because her phone was running low.

"Dani?" Tina frowned at her phone, thinking that her friend has just hung up on her. "Oh, dang!"

"Here, hang on to it." Sam said as he handed Tina the rope after he tied it to a roof pipe. "This place is crawling with government agents. Let's sneak in Dani's window."

He threw the rope down to the open window where they both made it to Dani old bedroom and they snuck into the vents while they crawl through quietly until finally made it to a duct that viewed the old lab. They saw the Gals in White standing in front of the locked Fenton Ghost Portal, where they even noticed that there was a large missile they have installed in the middle of the lab, aiming directly at the portal.

"We've got to figure out how to open that stupid Fenton Portal." Agent S said.

"Have you tried hitting it with a coffee mug?" Agent M suggested.

"Why did we ever buy this junk keep of a lab anyway?" Agent L asked, wondering why they even bought Fenton Works in the first place.

"Didn't you get the memo? So we can fire this Anti-Ecto Missile into that portal and destroy the entire Ghost Zone." Agent K replied with her arms crossed and smiled at the thought. Sam and Tina, however, gasped in complete shock at their horrific plan. "Prepare for total destruction of the Ghost Zone! No more undocumented specters and no more annoying Phantom kid!"

Tina and Sam exchange the same nervous and concerned looks, looking rather displeased that the agents actually wanted to destroy an entire dimension filled with ghost, who they thought were all bad. However, like Sam once described them as, they were zealous, so they would destroy a ghost if they ever saw one and kill it on sight, even if it meant destroying an entire world they resigned in, only for their own personal pleasure.

"Tina, in astrophysics, what happens when an entire dimension is suddenly removed from a plain of existence?" Sam asked quietly with wide eyes.

"Easy, the dimensional structure becomes unstable and 'kaflooey!'" Tina said, emphasising about it exploding part.

"Well, the Ghost Zone is the flipside of our plain of existence! if it goes, we go! We gotta get Dani."

Back at the Fenton Works II mansion, Dani was about to play rough with a robotic version of Tina as they both held onto staffs, although Dani had her signature Boo-Staff. "Alright, Tina, old gal! It's time to get real and fight like women." Dani said as she spun her staff expertly.

"You mean fight like machines? TinBot XL says 'put up your deuce!' I am going to wall up on you now." She said in a robotic voice as she held up her wooden staff.

"Yeah, that's what all you robots say. Right, GothBot 9000?"

"Yes, Dani, but then everything you say is wonderfully correct." A robotic version of Sam said.

"Round one, TinBot."

Dani and TinBot XL circled halfway as they prepared to start swinging their staffs, until their fight was interrupted by the real Sam and Tina.

"Dani!" Sam called out urgently.

"The world needs you, girl!" Tina exclaimed, and her robot version slammed Dani on the head with her metal beanie. Tina stared at her robot in shock and amazement as she walked up to it. "Whoa! It's a robotic me! The perfect marriage of me and machine. They said it couldn't be done!"

"Anything can be done with money." Dani said as she stood to her feet and dusted herself as she held her staff beside her.

"This is sick!" Sam said looking unimpressed as he examined his robotic version of himself. "You replaced us with robots? My hair does not look like that and I don't have rivets in my cheeks…" He then smiled a little. "Though that might look pretty cool."

Dani walked up to him and leaned against Gothbot's shoulder. "See? That's exactly why I ordered them: robots don't freak out. They behave according to pre-set algorithms. These two understand Dani Fenton."

"Snap out of it, Dani! Take it from me, money can change a person and you can't let it!" Sam grabbed Dani by her shoulders with a look of urgency. "You're Dani Phantom! You're supposed to stop bad guys, not sit around on your butt counting money."

On cue, Jackie popped her head in Dani's doorway. "Dani, come on! TIme to sit on our butts and count on money! You know, quality family time." She said, until she noticed the robots of Sam and Tina and the two of them themselves as she frowned suspiciously. "Your friends all look remarkably similar." And then she disappeared downstairs.

Before Dani could join her family as she deactivated her Boo-staff and tucked it away, she got stopped by Tina. "Dani, the Gals in White are planning to blow up the Ghost Zone with an Anti-Ecto Missile!" She explained to her best friend, looking desperately serious.

"Relax." Dani said, looking reassured and calm. "I told ya, I put a password protected lock on the portal. It's 'open sesame'. Good one, huh?"

"Once they crack that password, they'll destroy our world along with the Ghost Zone!" Sam added urgently. "We've got to stop-"

Dani frowned at him as she interrupted him. "Not we! I am done! I got it made here. Playing heroine takes way too much energy."

Sam glared back at her, not liking nor impressed his friend's sudden stubborn attitude. "Danielle, you're ticking me off. I thought there was something more to you. Something...deeper."

"Go ahead, get ticked off." Dani snapped her fingers and her new robot friends stood beside her as she smirked with her hands on her hips. "I got my robot friends to back me up now."

Sam and Tina glared at her. "Fine, but you should know those robots will never say what you really need to hear."

"All I need to hear is is game time, dinner time, and and milkshake time...and they're programed to say it."

Sam got angrily to her face. "Then you should program chump time, because you are being a spoiled brat!" That made Dani's smirk drop before he turned to Tina. "Come on, Tina, we've got a few worlds to save." Tina gave Dani one last disapproving glare before she walked out of her room in a huff. Dani made a look of regret as Sam's words began to sink in.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Chump time! He is a funny human!" TinBot XL laughed, making Dani glare while she reactivated her Boo-Staff, but immediately got smacked to the floor again by TinBot's metal beanie as she grunted.

Outside the old Fenton Works, Tina and Sam both ran down the sidewalk with Sam holding a grappling hook/rope.

"Stand back, Tina." Sam whispered before he began to spin the hook around and threw it high into the air while it made it to the roof.

Unfortunately, they immediately heard a woman yell out from the top in pain. "OW!" She shouted as a Gals in White agent appeared on the edge of the roof, holding the hook. She rubbed her head before she glared down at the teens.

"Oops." Sam and Tina said in unison when they realized their mistake. Before they knew it, they were both cuffed to a pip in the lab where the agents gathered around them.

"You can't keep us here! I know the law! I-I read a graphic novel version of the constitution!" Sam exclaimed to the agents.

"We just need you out of the way until we finish our mission." Agent K said.

"You mean destroying the world?"

"Part of it, yes, the nasty ghost infested part. Wouldn't that be nice?"

"But you're wrong! If you destroy the Ghost Zone, you also destroy-"

"Hey, kids! Lighten up. We're the good gals, we wear white."

"Well, the password does not include the words 'Fenton', 'Jackie', 'Matt', or 'World's Best Dad'." Agent L said as she sat by the computer.

"Keep trying, don't let these meddling kids slow us down."

"Cool! I always wanted to be called a 'meddling kid'." Tina said happily.

"Super, now you can die happy." Sam said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.

Back at the Fenton mansion, Dani walked out of the elevator and into the very empty living room. "Hello?" She called as her voice echoed across the room.

For the first time in her life, she felt like she was truly all alone and even her own family seemed to distant from her ever since they all became rich. She even pushed herself away from her own best friends when they warned her that both of the worlds were in danger. Her new home was so big and she brought everything she ever wanted, she became the person she totally hated: a lazy spoiled brat. She also felt like she was becoming more like her archenemy, Vladia Masters, more than she could ever care to admit out loud.

"Care for a shake?" Hobson offered while she held up a tray with a glass of milkshake.

"No thanks, Hobson. No appetite." Dani said sadly.

"Forgive me, Mistress Danielle, you seem a tad bummed. Did your milkshake straw become clogged?"

"I'm just...going through some stuff."

"Perhaps a rousing game of Caveman Car Thief would weaken the pulse."

"I've played my games, brought tons of extra junk, counted my money...again. But it's not...satisfying."

"Dare I say perhaps there more to life than wealth? And what do you suppose your purpose might be, Mistress Danielle?"

Dani placed her hands on her hips as she faced her butler again. "Lately? Um...being a spoiled brat."

"Does that feel like the real you?"

"Not exactly."

"It seems to be that your friends, Tina and Sam, knew the real you."

"Ya think?"

"Certainly more than those two automatons in your room." Hobson then gave Dani a gentle smile as she continued. "A good friend is like a good butler: indispensable and loyal to life."

Dani began to smile at her butler after she allowed her words to sink in. "Thanks, Natalie. Uh, there's something important the real me needs to help out with. Later!" She ran off, but then briefly rushed back for her shake. "Suddenly got my appetite back." And she sprinted off into the hallway.

"Way to get your butt in gear, madam!"

Dani quickly jumped into the lab. "Mom? Dad? Is the new portal fi-huh?" She suddenly noticed that the lab was completely empty. "Where is everybody?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Fenton have gone to the theater." The Reality Drill answered.

"Reality Drill, I need to get into the Ghost Zone quick! What's your ETA on breaking through?"

"Ghost Zone, breaking through?"

"Yeah! Ghost Zone! You're a drill! You're drilling to get to the Ghost Zone!" Dani suddenly noticed that it was nowhere near breaking through the door before she saw a sign at the top. "'For novelty purposes only'? Wait, you're not really a reality drill?"

"No, but I make a mean ecto-lotte." And it made one before her eyes.

Dani frowned in annoyance. "Good purchase, Mom."

She then ran a few feet before she flipped into the air as she changed to her ghost form before she phased out of her mansion. She flew across town until she made it to her old home, Fenton Works, but stopped in surprise when she hovered in mid air. Dani saw that her entire house was heavily guarded by several government agents, looking out every direction for more intruders. She must have thought that her friends have already been caught if there were this many agents guarding the entire building to make sure no one else would interfere with their plans.

"Whoa! It's a Gals in White invasion force!" Dani exclaimed.

An agent on the roof noticed her and immediately pulled out her ecto-gun and fired an energy ball at her, which she dodged easily as it incinerated a roof pipe of another building instead. She gasped when more agents fired their weapons at Dani as she flew across the air, phasing through a lamppost, and a tree, evading their attacks until she slid behind a nearby billboard, knowing that she was completely outmatched.

"I'll never get past them. Stopping the missile from inside the Ghost Zone is still my best bet, and there's only one other way I can think of to get in." Dani said to herself.

Dani phased into her archenemy, Vladia's, mayor mansion and began to phase through the walls, floors, and ceilings of her home, but she couldn't seem to find her portal as she phased back to Vladia's library. Vladia has been mayor for a short time, but she knew she could have made a secret lab in a matter of days. However, Vladia must have been also trying to think one step ahead of Dani and hid it where Dani would last expect to find it.

"Now where would that portal be?" Dani asked herself as she landed on the ground and walked around. "Okay, think, Dani. If I were Vladia's portal, where would I be?" She suddenly noticed a picture of Vladia as Venus in the Renaissance era, making her disgusted by the look. "Whoa, that is a really big, really ugly painting...evil women are so predictable. There's gotta be a way to open it." Dani saw a head statue of Vladia and she walked up to it to remove the head as it revealed a hidden button inside and pressed on it. "Goodbye, ugly painting…" As she hoped, it opened to reveal the hidden Plasmius Portal. "Hello, Ghost Zone."

She flew through the portal and finally made it into the Ghost Zone and landed on a floating rock as she began to look around.

"Okay, where am I?" Dani asked herself and noticed Praia's Keep a few feet away and she realized that she was nowhere near the Fenton Portal. "The Ghost Queen's castle? Oh man! I'm halfway across the Zone! I need speed."

She then suddenly heard someone riding their motorcycle on a narrow rock road floating in the void, and it was one of Dani's rival ghosts, Jessie 13. She smirked when she has found herself a ride before she ran across her rock and took off to the air as she flew next to Jessie. She merely waved at her, catching her attention before she blasted her off her bike with an ecto blast. Jessie tumbled on the road and wearily looked up at Dani, who has already mounted on her bike.

"Sorry about that, Jessie, but it's for your own good!" Dani said to him before she revved her motorcycle and drove off into the Ghost Zone as she headed for the Fenton Ghost Portal to stop the Gals in Whites' catastrophic plan.

In another part of the Ghost Zone, another one of Dani's old ghostly rivals, Youngphasma (now in an astronaut costume), stretched herself on a catapult, ready to fire herself.

"Captain Youngphasma, interpreted astronaut, prepares for her historic launch into space." She muttered to herself until she noticed Dani Phantom riding on Jessie's motorcycle above her. "Phantom, sis, you're just in time! Wanna watch me launch myself into the hearts of millions?"

"No time, Youngphasma! Maybe later, if we're all still around!" Dani called out before she continued on down the void.


Meanwhile, in the Fenton Works lab, the Gals in White agents were still having trouble cracking the password to unlock the portal.

"I'm sure we'll be able to crack the password code, ma'am." Agent L said as she began to plug it into the console. "I'll just hook up my laptop and-"

Then it suddenly short-circuited and exploded a little as Agent K stumbled backwards into the desk and catapulted the coffee mug into the air. It shattered near the vents and sent dirt flying all over Agent M as she coughed and ran off, but accidentally tripped over several wires and sent her tumbling to the Anti-Ecto Missile, making it spin around and smack Agent O in the back and she fell to the ground.

"What is this place? Haunted?" Agent O asked like the lab was cursed with bad luck since apparently only Jackie and Matt Fenton could understand the place even better then they apparently did.

"No, you girls are just really really mental." Sam said to him with a smirk.

"Yeah! You're too stupid to crack the easiest code in the world!" Tina said with a small laugh.

"Says you!" Agent O retorted as she dusted herself.

"Yeah, says me!"

Agent O then allowed her words sink in. "Says me...sesame...open sesame!"

Tina's smile dropped when she realized her big mistake. "Oops." Sam glared at his big-mouthed friend at her big screw up. "Okay, they're not that stupid."


Back in the Ghost Zone, Skulka held up a huge rock and tossed it into the air and fired her ecto wrist ray to target practice her aim, if she wanted to keep her title as the Ghost Zone's greatest huntress. She then noticed her old enemy and prey, Dani Phantom, riding on a motorcycle several feet away ahead of her.

"Huh, Dani Phantom. Skulka's see practice just got interesting." Skulka said with a grin as she aimed her gun at Dani and fired a beam at her.

She luckily noticed when she quickly thrusted Jessie's bike upward and avoided her beam attack. "Whoa, whoa! Easy girl! You need me alive! The Ghost Zone is in hard core danger!" Dani called out as she continued to find her ghost portal.

Skulka made a look of confusion. "What are you babbling about?"


Back in the lab, Agent L looked skeptical about the password. "Come on! Open sesame? It can't be the password, it's too ridiculous." Agent L said skeptically.

"We're talking Fenton here." Agent K reminded her.

"Right, I'll give it a shot." She typed down 'open sesame' before she pressed enter and the Fenton Portal finally unlocked itself. Sam and Tina both gasped in horror that they were about to destroy the Earth, along with the Ghost Zone.

Agent K smiled in satisfaction. "Finally, something works around here! Pull that door open."

In the Zone, Dani finally made it to the Fenton Ghost Portal, but a little too late when she witnessed that the Fenton Portal was opening up, and she realized that the Gals in White have discovered the password, just like her friends have forewarned her.

"Oh no! No! No! No! NO!" She cried out with wide eyes.

The portal opened widely as the agents smile that they were about to accomplish their mission, not knowing (or possibly even caring) about the severe consequence they were about to unleash upon their own world.

"Ladies, we're about to peer into a whole new world...for us to destroy." Agent K said with a smile.

"This calls for a toast!" Agent L said.

"Maybe a nice cheese plate." Agent M added.

"No, this calls for the Ghost Zone Missile." Agent K said as they cleared their way for the missile to make its way to the Ghost Zone. "Operative O, FIRE WHEN READY!" Agent O pressed a button and the missile began to warm up as it prepared to propel itself into the ghost world.

Inside the Ghost Zone, Dani managed to quickly gain the help from Jessie, Youngphasma, and Skulka when she made them find a huge boulder. They all began to push and pull it across a rock on a catapult to block the Fenton Ghost Portal. Jessie and Youngphasma both pulled the rock while Skulka and Dani pushed it from the other side.

"This is going to be so cool!" Youngphasma exclaimed with anticipation before they pulled it even farther.

"I still don't get why we should trust you." Skulka said to Dani.

"Pipe down and push!" She exclaimed as they pulled it more and more. "FIRE!" Skulka and Dani both flew to the air and fired the boulder and fully blocked the portal just as the missile took off, but ended up blowing up inside the lab instead. "Nice job, girls."

Skulka, Youngphasma, and Jessie only glared at Dani as they took out their weapons and she managed to fly away to dodge all of their attacks.

In the lab, the entire room became completely covered with purple goop, even the Gals in White, Sam, and Tina were covered in the stuff while the teens braced themselves on their knees.

"So...that was a novelty rocket?" Tina asked in confusion after she briefly glanced at the goop on her palm.

"I guess a weapon that destroys stuff in that reality just makes a gooey mess in this reality." Sam said as he squished a piece of goo and examined it.

"I can't take it anymore!" Agent K exclaimed before she threw her sunglasses on the ground in frustration. "Stone walls out of nowhere, bubble gum bombs! This lab is CURSED! Unlock those kids and let's get out of here before it destroys us all!"

The agents managed to unlock Sam and Tina in time before they ran up the stairs, screaming and gathering at the door just as they tumbled backwards with Jackie and Matt on the other side, wearing formal clothing.

"Ah, there you ladies are!" Jackie said before she and Matt held out the large check they gave them. "Listen, we have just a scorch of seller's remorse, and uh...well, we were hoping that-"

"It's all yours!" The agents cried out as they ripped through the check and ran out of the house in fear. "Lock, stock and barrel! Just get us out of here!" Agent K tossed Jackie her keys to the house, and the couple smiled at each other.


Later on the next day, the Fenton family all moved back to Fenton Works as the movers began to carry their furniture back to where they belonged before they became rich.

"Careful, fellas, we're not made of money anymore." Jackie said to the movers while Matt held onto her warmly.

"I'm glad we're back, Jackie, and I'm glad we get to see the kids on more than just a tiny TV screen." Matt said.

"We're glad to see you guys, too." Dani said, back in her human form, as she and James walked up to them with smiles.

"Life was lonely in the library stats. Books are great, but hardly as entertaining as you guys." James admitted to his parents.

"Yeah, that mansion was so big, I almost lost something sort of important to me: myself. I'm glad to be back." Dani then placed her hands on her hips with a bright smile. "Heck, I'm even sort of looking forward to start working hard again."

"Great." Tina said when she and Sam walked up to the Fentons before she tried to pull some ecto gum off her arm. They were both still covered in the goop from the novelty rocket explosion down in the lab. "You can start with helping getting this ecto gum off us."

"Without pulling our hair out." Sam said as he tried to pull some off his hair.

"HOBSON!" The Fentons all shouted, but then they all frowned when they remembered that they weren't rich, so they don't have a butler anymore.

"Oh, right." Jackie said.

"I miss being rich already." Dani said.

Then Gothbot 9000 and TinBot XL walked up to her. "Do not despair, Dani, you still have us." GothBot said.

TinBot made her metal beanie hit Dani on the head hard again, making her yelp as she collapsed onto the floor with a concussion while her family stared down at her with some pity and she groaned in pain. "I'm okay…"
