Author's note: Hey so this chapter they will start watching more of the episodes then just random clips. Also, in this chapter Adie accidently slips up and reveals a few things about P.P. hint Danny's powers, and Clockwork and Adie bring another ghost to the room from the alternate timeline because I like being spontaneous and so Adie. The other ghost was going to come after watching some music videos, but I decided to bring her this chapter. There's also going to be a tear filling scene that will make you smile happily between Danny and Dani. I don't own Danny Phantom at all.
Mystery Meat-
Maddie is in the kitchen. She puts on the hood of her blue jumpsuit and begins putting some final touches using a blowtorch on a new, invention. Danny's older sister, Jazz glances up from a book to look at her mom with annoyance before going back to reading. Danny is busy eating cereal, when his hand turns invisible suddenly. This causes his spoon to fall from his hand into his bowl. Danny freaks out a little and hides his hand.
Maddie raps her arm around Danny. She feels so ashamed that they had made Danny hide who he was from them, because he was afraid of how they would react.
Danny rested his head on his mom's shoulder feeling more relaxed then he ever been since he got his powers.
"Okay, two more days, and it's done." Jack comes in.
"What did you say? (he grabs the invention) It's done? The Fenton Finder is done! This baby uses satellites to lead you right to the ghosts.
"It uses what to track what?"
"Welcome to the Fenton Finder. A ghost is near. Walk forward.
Danny walks away from the invention while his parents move closer towards him, the invention being louder and faster as they got closer to him.
Danny is cornered near a wall by his confused parents.
Everyone was watching intently as they saw the fear in the eyes of Danny on screen. The ghosts felt a little bad for the kid.
Danny's parents felt horrible seeing how afraid their little boy was at that moment, and Jazz felt horrible because she was there and didn't see her scared little brother who was having problems.
"Ghost located thank you for using the Fenton Finder."
Danny smiles weakly up at his parents.
"What? Oh, that can't be right."
Danny's body turns invisible, and he looks down in fear as he quickly became visible. Luckily his parents didn't see, but Danny looks down defeated.
"Actually…I need to tell you guys something."
"That's not all you need Danny. (Jazz walks over) You need guidance, and parents who can provide it."
Jazz gasped, "Oh Danny! I'm so sorry! You were going to tell our parents right at that moment, and I stopped you without thinking." Jazz looked close to tears she felt really upset that she blew her brother's chance to reveal his secret.
Danny got up from where he was with his mom and went over to his older sister. "It's okay Jazz. You didn't know." They smiled at each other and hugged, sharing sibling moment. Adie smiles at their brother/sister relationship.
Sam and Tucker were happy even more that Danny didn't have to hide anymore.
"Sweetie, I know what we do doesn't make sense sometimes, but you're only…"
"Sixteen. Biologically! But psychologically, I'm an adult! And I will not allow your insane obsession with ghosts, to pollute the mind of this impressionable little child!" Danny looks completely weirded out.
A few people were laughing at the how confused Danny looked with how Jazz was talking. Jazz smiled apolitically at Danny for freaking him out.
"Come, you abused unwanted wrench. I'll drive you to school." Glares at her parents while leaving.
"Huh. That's weird. Jasmine never offers to drive Danny to school."
Jack freaks out a little, "That can only mean one thing. That's not our daughter; that's a ghost. (chasing after the kids) Danny, no! It's a trap!"
"Just because I'm doing something I don't normally do, doesn't mean I'm a ghost!" Jazz exclaimed glaring at her father who looked sheepish.
Vlad scoffs at Jack's foolishness but doesn't say anything because Adie was giving a very scary look. Danny notices this and smirks. He now had something that Vlad's scared of.
Danny is now standing outside of Casper High with his friends Sam and Tucker. "I think I should tell them."
"Why? Parents don't listen. Even worse, they don't understand! WHY CAN'T THEY ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM!?"
"Honey we listen to you, don't we?" Mrs. Manson asked.
Sam glared at her, "No! Grandma listens, but you and dad don't. Why can't you except that I don't want to be like you? I like wearing black, when will you finally except that?! Instead of trying change me to be something I'm not!" Sam was glaring back at them her shoulders hunched and clenching her fists.
The kids from school except Danny and Tucker were shocked, they never seen her show this much emotion.
Sam's parents were horrified by what their daughter had said. Then suddenly Ida (Sam's Grandma) gets up and walks away from her son and daughter in-law, towards the barrier.
"Mom! Where are you going?"
"I'm going to be with my granddaughter." She glares at the two of them. Once she gets to the barrier, Adie lets her through.
Ida smiles at her and says, "Thank you dearie."
She walks over to Sam and wraps her into a hug which calms her down a little. Sam smiles at her, then Ida looks at Danny and Tucker. "Hello boys." They also greet her.
"Alright let's continue, but first (looks towards the Manson parents) Two words. Bad Parenting." They glared at the girl and Clockwork sighs shaking his head.
"Sam, I-I'm talking about my powers, my problems?"
"Oh right. Me too."
"It's been a month since the accident and I still have barely any control! If somebody catches me, (starts sinking) I go from geek to freak around here!"
"Kinda like what you're doing right now?" Tucker asks with a raised eyebrow.
Danny realizes his lower half had turned intangible causing him to sink and yelps before Sam and Tucker help him out. His feet and legs going back to normal.
"How did none of us notice this?" a few of the A-listers asked.
Danny shrugged not sure as to how.
"Gah, darn it! If my dad can invent something that accidentally made me half-ghost, why can't he invent something that turns me back to normal?" he turns intangible walking through a snack machine with realizing.
Danny says, "I no longer think about that mom and dad. I think it's best that I keep my powers." They smile at him, but as soon as he said this, everyone hears Adie mutter.
"They already made something that can take away your powers."
"What did we make?" Maddie and Jack asked.
Clockwork chuckles as Adie yelps jumping in the air. She blushes and says hurriedly, "None of you were supposed to hear that!"
Danny looked a little freaked out, "Uh could you tell us what it is, so my powers don't get taken away?" Danny looks at his parents nervously a little afraid that if they did make something like that it would be disastrous especially with all the enemies he has now.
"You'll find out when we watch the future and some of the music videos, I'm planning on showing has the scene in them."
Clockwork says, "Now Adie, you can give a brief summary like what you had Danny do early with the whole Dan situation."
Adie glares, "Is this a way for you to say a saying like an eye for an eye." Clockwork smirks.
"Ugh! Fine! But after I do, I'm going to be spontaneous and bring the ghost we were going to bring a little later, after the explanation."
"Yes, I figured you would want to do that. So, I told her that she might be here earlier than expected."
"Who are we talking about?" Danny
Adie waves her hand, "Oh someone from the Alternate time-line."
"Who?" Danny asked worried now.
"You fought her before all that crazy stuff happened."
Danny, Sam and Tucker then realized who she was talking about and Danny groaned. Jazz sort of knew what was being talked about but kept silent. Maddie, Jack, Ida and Dani looked at them curiously, wondering what was wrong.
A lot of the ghosts that hated Danny, were interested thinking that eventually while they're here they'll get blackmail material or something.
"Okay, but before we bring her, I need to do that explanation you all want. (everyone was now paying attention wanting to know a little bit of the event that could happen in the future) Okay, so Vlad decides for his next scheme to hire this group of ghost hunters that seem to do a 'better' job then 'Danny Phantom'. Long story short Danny decides to do something drastic by doing the same thing that gave him is powers…going into the portal. Sam, Tucker and Jazz try to stop him, but he doesn't listen. There's your brief summary! You'll learn more about later okay!" she glares at everyone daring to ask more. She notices that Danny had gone extremely pale.
"I-I-I go back into the portal? Does…" he trails off, Adie smiles sadly at him. "I'm sorry that have to hear about this Danny…yes it hurts just as bad taking your powers away and getting them."
Sam and Tucker gasped horrified realizing that if they weren't brought here, they would have had to witness their best friend be in so much pain again. They rushed over and hugged Danny who hugged them back shaking slightly.
Vlad from his bubble was smirking evilly that in the future he causes Danny to take away his powers and was excited to find out more about this, but slowly he started frowning realizing that if this did happen he will be the only one that's a Halfa not counting Dani. But then again, he wouldn't have to worry about the boy stopping him from hurting the clone, and he was smirking once more. His mind already coming up with plans.
The ghosts were watching in silence but many of them that weren't completely evil felt bad for the ghost boy having to possibly go through that in the future.
The citizens of Amity were watching from where they were, feeling pity that Danny had to go through so much pain in his life.
Dani noticing the look on Vlad's face. "You better knock that smirk off your face Vlad."
"My dear Danielle you shouldn't talk to the person that created you that way…I am your father."
"You'll never be my father! Danny's more of a father and a brother to me."
"Aww!" Adie exclaims.
The ghosts and humans stare at Dani who realized she basically announced that she thought of Danny as a father.
She looks over at Danny who was slowly starting to get a big smile on his face. "You think a little bit of me as a brother and mostly as a dad?"
Dani nodded fearing that he didn't like her anymore but was shocked when he gets out of Sam and Tucker's embrace and hugs her tightly.
"That's a beautiful father daughter moment that just made my day." Adie said, smiling after having to explain something she didn't want to.
Maddie went over to the two embracing and hugged them.
"Danielle you are welcome to come and stay with us when we are finished being here."
Dani went wide eyed and smiled, "Really?"
Maddie smiled and nodded. The two with the 'father, daughter' relationship head back over to Sam and Tucker. Many are smiling happy for Dani finding a family.
Adie then looks at Clockwork, he was smiling and then looking at her he nodded signaling that she can bring the other ghost.
A portal opens and Adie went through many watched curiously as to who was going to be joining them to watch.
She came back in with a young child ghost with blue skin and overalls.
"Everyone, this ghost is from the alternate timeline that you got a brief summary about earlier. (turns to the ghost) Remember you are not allowed to fight with anyone or go near the thermos."
"I know." She said and sent a glance at Danny who backs away a little.
She smiles, "Relax Danny I won't hurt you…it's your alternate future self I want to hurt, for everything he did." The last part was said darkly and glaring at the thermos.
"Ahem." Adie sent her a look and she smiles innocently.
"Why don't you introduce yourself and yes you can say who your parents are."
She nodded and turned to the crowd of humans and ghosts, "I am Box Lunch! Daughter of the Box Ghost and the Lunch Lady."
Many of the ghosts had mixed reactions but Box Ghost and Lunch Lady's reactions were the ones that stood out to everyone.
Lunch Lady was staring at Box Lunch with wide eyes and Box Ghost had been so shocked that he almost fell out of the air. The two looked at each other and then looked away blushing.
Kitty then thought of something, "Wait if she's their kid, why didn't you bring her from our future? You brought her from the alternate timeline."
Clockwork pointed to Adie, "Well, it's not set in stone that they have her in the this universe and so we brought her from the alternate timeline so when the time comes that we watch the events with Dan she could be able to explain a few things as much as she can. Now that, that's all taken care of why don't we start back up with the video? Box Lunch you can stay here or go be with your 'parents' over there."
She decided to go hang with her mom and dad from this universe.
His body turns back to normal as Sam runs up to him. "Danny, your powers make you unique. Unique is good! That's why I'm an ultra recyclo-vegetarian."
"Which means what?" Tucker asked.
"She doesn't eat anything with a face on it."
"Oh, who care about that stuff? Danny two words: meat connoisseur. (sniffs the air) Last night, you had Sloppy Joe."
"Impressive."
"Indeed…in a strange way." Adie says.
Many others were impressed and wanting to know how exactly he knew that, while Tucker's parents, mostly his dad, looked proud.
"Meat heightens the senses, and my all-meat streak is fourteen years strong.
"…And it's about to end. The school board finally agreed to try a new cafeteria menu. I wore them down.
"Wait…What did you do?"
The high schoolers grimaced, remembering this.
Cut to cafeteria with the new menu with the students getting what looks to be like grass on a bun.
"What is this? Grass on a bun?" Danny asked.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" Tucker exclaims dramatically.
"Tucker, it's time for a change."
Cut to Fenton Works. The portal opens and an elderly ghost comes through dressed like a lunch lady.
"Oh! Somebody changed the menu!"
"How did you even know that!?" Danny exclaimed.
"I just did." Lunch Lady says surprisingly calm, she looks confused after realizing this.
Adie notices this, "I put some 'magic' around the room as a precaution so none of the ghosts freak out over something that is against their obsession."
The ghosts including Danny looked shocked by this while many of the humans that didn't know much about ghosts were confused.
A random adult asks, "What's an obsession?"
"It's basically why a ghost exists, if they lose it or can't act on it, they can lose their minds or even fade away from existence. Also, Danny and Vlad have an obsession considering they are half ghost. Danny's obsession is easy to figure out, but I can't say the same for Vlad."
Vlad glares.
"Wait you know my obsession?" Danny asks curiously as were many others.
"Yes, I know it. Do mind if I say it?"
Danny shook his head, "No I don't mind."
"Your obsession is to protect. That's why you fight the ghosts that come through the portal, your obsession makes you want to protect the town from harm.
Danny smiles as did many others, being proud of him.
She goes through the ceiling without Jack or Maddie noticing.
"How many ghosts got by us?" Maddie asks.
"Too many to count, I'm sure." Adie says, making Danny laugh a little.
"Maybe this is a bad idea."
"No, it's perfect. When Jazz gets home, we suck the ghost out of her (strikes a pose) with the Fenton Extractor."
"But what if Jazz isn't a ghost? What if we accidentally hurt her?"
"Maddie, the Fenton Extractor doesn't humans…unless it gets in your hair… (gets his hair caught after he turns it on and screams. He calms in a few seconds) See?"
Many girls started to freak out but mostly Paulina and Star. Adie got annoyed, "Knock it off all you girly girls! If your hair gets messed up, you can go to a stylist and get it fixed. Speaking of which I should get a hair cut soon."
She looks at her hair that was a little past her shoulders
Cuts back to the school.
"Don't you think this is a little extreme, Sam?" Danny asks,
Ida looks at her granddaughter, "Yes, my dear I believe you have been trying too hard."
Sam looks confused so Adie says, "Hey Sam, think of it this way. You were trying to get others to like the same food you like without stopping to think it through…so in a way, and I'm sorry for saying this but you were acting like your parents who try to change you by trying to change others."
Sam's eyes widened in realization and started apologizing to Danny and Tucker for how she acted at that time. They told her that they already forgave her.
But Sam only smiles and then a hand was on her shoulder.
It was Mr. Lancer, "Ah, Miss Manson. The school board wanted me to personally thank you for ushering in this welcome experiment to our cafeteria."
Tucker is suddenly sniffing the air in a frantic motion, "Meat. Near."
Many looked confused.
He gives Lancer a glare as the man backs away. "No, no. the rumors about the new all-steak buffet in the teacher's lounge are completely untrue…thanks again." He leaves.
"Yeah, thanks again for making us eat garbage, Sam."
"It's not garbage. It's recyclable organic matter."
"It's garbage." The two boys say back to Sam.
Many laughed at this but stop when Sam glares at them.
The scene changes to show the person serving lunch she looks around and then pulls out a burger sneaking off to eat it.
"Hey!" a lot of the kids that were there that day exclaimed not happy that they didn't notice this.
The ghost Lunch Lady then comes through the ceiling discovering the new menu and she glares angrily at it. Cuts back to Danny.
He's about to take a bite of his food when a blue wisp also known as his ghost sense comes out of his mouth.
"Uh, guys? I've got a problem. (a handful of mud lands on his head) ugh!"
"FENTON!"
"Make that two problems."
Dash a jock and a bully comes storming over to him, holding a plate of mud.
Dash winces not liking to see himself bully Danny, who apparently is his hero. (probably the only reason he doesn't want to bully him now)
"I ordered three mud pies. Do you know what they gave me? Three mud pies. With mud. From the ground! All because of your girlfriend!"
"She's not my girlfriend!"
"I'm not his girlfriend!"
Adie smirks glancing at the two of them with only Clockwork noticing.
Dash grabs Danny by the shirt and lifts him off the ground.
"These are the best years of my life! After high school, it's all downhill for me! How am I supposed to enjoy my glory days eating mud?!"
"Actually, it's topsoil." Sam corrected as Dash toes Danny to the table.
"Whatever! (Faces Danny and shoves the plate of mud at him) Eat it. All of it."
Principle Ishiyama glares at Dash, "I think that we'll be having a talk later…and I believe it's time to have more Anti-bullying seminars." The last part was said to the teachers.
Dash shrunk in his chair at being called out on by the school principle.
Danny's about to go through with it, when his ghost sense goes off again and he sees the Lunch Lady behind the counter.
"Uh…uh…GARBAGE FIGHT!" he throws the mud into Dash's face.
Mr. Lancer was starting to feel bad for punishing Danny because of this. The kid only did this because of fear in telling others about his powers.
He tosses the plate and it lands in Dash's face this causes everyone to engage into a 'food fight'.
Sam yells, "It's not garbage! It's…" she was cut off by Danny who pulls her under the table. The trio of friends begin to crawl away to the kitchen. Danny looks back while crawling seeing an angry Dash in the middle of the garbage fight.
"You're gonna pay for this Fenton!" he's then hit in the head with mud twice.
"Great I'm still his favorite."
"Danny. Why didn't you tell your father and I you were being bullied?!" Maddie exclaims upset. Danny looks away and shrugs. She hugs him close letting him know that he can, tell her later if he wanted.
Poindexter felt even guiltier for what he did to Danny, he looks over at Adie who shakes her head. She sent a message to him telepathically saying to wait till the end of this video to apologize. He nodded understanding she wanted this video to finally be finished without any, more big interruptions.
The get to the kitchen door and peek inside, seeing the Lunch Lady.
"Huh, shouldn't be so bad. She looks a little like my grandmother." Tucker says while him and Danny are standing fully in the room as Sam peeks in through the door.
"Shouldn't she be haunting a bingo hall?"
Lunch Lady turns and glares at Danny, "It's rude to Stereotype."
Danny holds his hands up in surrender then Adie notices Box Lunch fuming, "Uh oh."
She explodes in anger making many of the ghosts near her back away.
"HOW DARE YOU INSULT MY MOTHER! YOU SHALL PERISH BY PACKAGED FOODS!"
"Box Lunch if you don't calm down, I will go get your father from the other universe." Adie says calmly.
She immediately calms down and smiles apologetically at everyone. Lunch Lady and Box Ghost were staring at her.
"It looks like she got her anger from her mother. Although I'm pretty sure she has both her parent's personalities."
Everyone just stares in silence as the video began to play again.
Lunch Lady turns to look at them, "Hello, children. Can you help me? Today's lunch is meatloaf, but I don't see the meatloaf. Did someone change the menu?"
"Yeah. (Tucker points to Sam) She did."
Becoming extremely angry, "YOU CHANGED THE MENU?! (the kids gasp in fear) THE MENU HAS BEEN THE SAME FOR FIFTY YEARS!"
Everyone now sees what Adie meant about the anger comment a little bit ago.
"Get behind me!"
Sam and Tucker jump behind Danny.
"Wow. I feel safe." Sam says sarcastically.
Danny glares at Sam who just smirks back at him, Tucker laughs.
"I'm going Ghost!" Danny transforms and flies up to the Lunch Lady.
He isn't sure what he's doing, "I command you to go away!"
The A-listers laughed as Danny blushed in embarrassment. Dani glared at them for laughing at her father figure, if it wasn't for the barrier, she would have played a bunch of pranks on them.
The Lunch Lady causes many piles of dishes surrounding a sink to begin to glow and float around, before shooting them at Danny. He turns intangible, causing the dishes to pass right through him before hitting the wall behind him. He returns to normal, and smiles at his accomplishment of not being hit.
Cut to Sam. A bunch of dishes are heading right for her, which Danny sees and flies in front of the catching neat stacks with his hands and arms the Lunch Lady uses her powers to send even more dishes flying towards Tucker.
Danny catches these dishes in stacks again, as well as a few in his mouth. Tucker smiles, no longer wincing, when he sees that Danny stopped the dishes. Danny flies off to put the dishes back on the counter. Leaving the dishes in his mouth, but them he removes them staring at his reflection.
"Well, if this superhero thing doesn't work out, I can have an exciting career as a busboy."
"Well, now we have a designated dish washer." Jazz smirks jokingly at her brother who glares at her. Jack, Maddie, Dani, Sam and Tucker laugh.
While he was looking at his reflection, he sees the ovens behind him start to move and he frowns.
"I control lunch! Lunch is sacred! Lunch has rules! (becomes sweat) Anybody want cake?"
Sam and Tucker nod staring in shock. "Too bad! Children who change my menu do not get dessert!"
"Dessert is life!" Adie exclaims making many people and a few ghosts laugh at that comment.
The Lunch Lady phases up out through the ceiling while the three stoves begin to have green flames come out of them. The flames shoot toward Sam and Tucker who dodge. The stoves look angry and fly towards them. Danny flies up behind them, grabs their shoulders and makes all three of them intangible. They quickly fly through a wall out of the kitchen. The stoves hit the wall they went through. The three of them end up in the hallway looking shocked.
Danny is excited and amazed, "Hey! It worked."
"That's so cool! Can we try that too!?" A few people yell, suddenly the floor under those few people disappear making them fall, they scream while they disappear.
"Adie!" Clockwork scolds, halfway amused.
Adie shrugs and says, "They got their wish to try and besides they'll be back in a sec." she points up to the ceiling when the people that disappeared suddenly came falling through when it had disappeared. They fell onto the ground a little dazed.
Adie started giggling ignoring the glares of the people, who just got back, gave her. She shrugs, "You wanted to try."
They continued to glare, so she started the video back up.
"This is the thanks I get for thinking like an individual?" Sam asks mad.
A loud crash is suddenly heard and Tucker and Danny to look. The hallway begins shaking violently and the lights go out. Danny looks worried and then looks at the row of lockers closets to him. Two of the lockers open and a bunch of school supplies come flying out.
Sam looks on in surprise. Suddenly, a locker next to her does the same thing, and now many lockers are doing the same. The supplies fly to the Lunch Lady, swirling through her and then behind her. The trio looks shocked. Tucker's eyes suddenly widen, and he sniffs the air.
Meat is flying in the air, "Steak…! Rib-eye…! No, porterhouse! Medium rare!"
The meat products begin attaching themselves to the Lunch Lady's body until she completely covered and only her mean green eyes are showing.
"But where did it come from? (glares looking behind him) Lancer!"
"Someone's in trouble." Adie kids when Tucker sent a glare towards the teacher who was sweating.
A piece of paper hits Tucker in the face. The scene switches to the teacher's Lounge.
"Esteemed Casper Hight faculty, I present your all-steak buffet."
Lancer pulls off a tablecloth covering the supposed buffet, but the meat is missing. Some eager staff members with forks and knives gasp at the sight. Lancer realizes something's wrong and looks down at the table in shock. All that's left is a rattling bone Lancer slams his hands on the table.
"PARIDISE LOST!"
"You seem to like exclaiming with the titles of books." Adie commented.
Cut back to the hallway. The meat-covered Lunch Lady towers over the trio.
"Prepare to learn why meat is the most powerful of the five food groups!" she suddenly becomes nice again and holds up a cookie.
"Cookie?"
Sam shakes her head no. Lunch Lady looks surprised and then turns angry again.
"Then parish!"
"Temper." Adie sing songs ignoring the glare from the Lunch Lady and Box Lunch.
Danny jumps in front of Sam to protect her, "Forget it! The only thing that has an expiration date here is you! (he makes a fist and accidently reverts, back to human) Whoops! I didn't mean to do that."
Danny sighs, he hated when his powers did that when he first learning how to use them. Sometimes they had terrible timing.
The Lunch Lady roars and grabs Danny before sending him flying into Tucker. Bot hit the lockers behind them, and a pile of papers covers them up. The Lunch Lady grabs Sam off the ground and flies off down the hallway.
"Come on! Change back! We got to go!" Mr. Lancer grabs them.
"You two aren't going anywhere."
Dash is standing there still covered in mud, "Told ya you'd pay Fenton!"
"My daughter was just kidnapped, and all your doing is scolding her no good, friends!" Mrs. Manson exclaimed. (an: this seems like something Sam's mom would say…at least to me.)
Tucker and Danny's parents glared at her for saying that about the boys and glared at her husband who seemed to agree with her.
Sam looked about ready to explode but calmed slightly when her grandmother put a hand on her shoulder.
Dani was super upset, but Danny was doing his best to calm her down. Tucker's parents who had been let through the barrier were hugging their son trying to calm down. (Adie let them through so they wouldn't lose control and attack them)
Cuts to Lancer's office.
Mr. Lancer is looking through files with Tucker and Danny sitting in front of him. Dash is leaning against the wall with his arms crossed smirking.
Lancer pulls out a file and reads it, "Tucker Foley. Chronic tardiness, talking in class, repeated loitering by the girl's locker room." Tucker gives a sly smile at the last part.
"Danny Fenton. Thirty-four dropped beakers in the last month, banned for life from handing all fragile school property, but no severe mischief before today."
"Danny how did you drop so many beakers!?" his mother exclaimed in shock but not anger.
Danny looks down, "My powers kept acting up…I was still learning how to control them…"
Maddie gasped and grabbed both him and Dani in a hug since Danny was hugging her from a few minutes ago.
Mr. Lancer and Principle Ishiyama felt bad, now knowing the reason for all those dropped beakers. It must have happened just like the spoon when he was eating cereal.
"So, gentlemen, tell me… (slams the desk) WHY DID THE TWO OF YOU CONSPIRE TO DESTROY THE SCHOOL'S CAFETERIA?!"
"Dash started it! He threw…"
"Four touchdown passes in the last game is thereby exempt from scorn. You two, however, are not. I'll map out your punishment when I return. Mr. Baxter watch the door."
"Favoritism!" Adie called out trying to break the previous tension, making everyone look at her.
"She's right Mr. Lancer. We will be talking about your treatment of certain students much later." Principle Ishiyama glared.
He winced.
Danny and Tucker are left alone in the room. Tucker says to Danny," We gotta find Sam. For some reason, I feel like I got her kidnapped.
Sam gave Tucker a look and he smiled nervously.
"Maybe because you told the ghost she changed the menu? How about that?"
Tucker sniffs the air, "That steak is still in the building. 2oo yards, tops."
Danny glances over at a wall of Tv's showing different security camera views of the school. Several cameras show a storage room filled with boxes of meat. The last one shows a trail of meat juice in front of the boxes leading off-screen.
"Hey, you know what I realized?" Adie says, "If the school has security cameras wouldn't they have caught all the times Danny transformed?"
The school staff slapped themselves for not checking the cameras and Danny paled just realizing that he was exposing his secret and didn't even know it.
"Check it out, meat trail."
Danny goes ghost and grabs Tucker's arm, then turns them both intangible and phases them down through the floor.
Mr. Lancer says to Danny and Tucker, "So that's how you two got out. Mr. Fenton, I hope you don't your powers irresponsibly when you're not fighting ghosts."
Danny stiffened and everyone can see him turn a pale and sweaty face towards Dan's Thermos. He looked to be going into a panic attack, but luckily Adie rushed over and gave him a paper bag to breath into and calm down. Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Dani and his parents watched worriedly.
Once he was calm, he said back to the teacher in a small voice, "Sorry…I didn't mean to."
"Hey, what happened was not your fault. What you need to do is to think happy thoughts. Alright?" Adie said soothingly.
Danny took a few minutes before he fully calmed down and smiled, everyone was glad the kid was feeling better even the ghosts.
Then Danny paled when Adie got a smirk about to do something to ruin the calmness, "But this is a picture of something you did on purpose." (an: she goes from being sweet and reassuring to causing trouble)
She puts a picture on screen of Danny in ghost form phasing out the door of the girl's locker room.
Many of the girls in the room gasped while Sam glared at a sheepish Danny.
Danny's eyes widened when his mom yelled, "DANIEL JAMES FENTON! You better not use your powers for something like this again!"
Danny nods wide-eyed and shrank a little when he saw a few of the ghost girls glaring at him. Spectra was about to say something, but she was suddenly shocked by a glaring Adie. "Don't even think about its Spectra."
Danny may not have been happy with Adie about showing that picture, but he was glad she stopped Spectra from saying anything.
Adie took the picture off the screen and started the video again.
"Whoa!"
The office door opens, and Lancer enters carrying a broom, Dash right behind him.
"Gentlemen, your punishment will be-(sees that they are gone)-WORSE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE!"
Mr. Lancer now realized that he wrongfully punished the boys was hoping that there wasn't, other events that he wrongfully punished them. Although he would need to probably to punish him for the girl locker room thing.
Cut to Danny and Tucker entering the meat storage room from the security footage. Tucker looks happy to see all the meat.
"Sweet mother of mutation! (hugs the boxes) I'd dreamed of it, but…I never though I'd live to see it."
"How is it that I have the ghost powers and you're the weird kid?"
Everyone starts laughing.
Their eyes widen as they hear cackling nearby. They peer around the corner of a stack of boxes and see the Lunch Lady, who is floating in front of Sam who is trapped neck-deep in a large pile of meat.
"My dear child…meat is good for kids! It helps them grow and makes them smile! Why won't you eat it?"
"We don't need meat. That's fact!" the lunch lady gets mad.
"SILENCE! You need discipline, manners, respect! You know where that comes from? MEAT! (says nicely) Chicken or fish?"
"Is it just me or does she act a little bipolar?" Jazz asked.
"Don't worry miss psychiatrist, you're not the only one to see it." Jazz glares at Adie who smiles innocently.
Lunch Lady looks to be about to say something when Adie stops her, "Yes I know. You can't help it because it has something to do with your obsession."
Lunch Lady looked surprised when Adie said that, it was obvious by Lunch Lady's reaction, she was right.
Back with Danny and Tucker,
"I'll take care of the ghost. You just find a way to get Sam out of that pile of meat!"
Tucker holds a fork and knife, "Waaaay ahead of you."
Danny flies off to punch the Lunch Lady, who turns around surprised, but noctes Danny too late. She is sent flying and crashed into a nearby wall before collapsing to the ground. Danny lands in front of her and she glares at him. Cut to Sam. She stops looking in Danny's direction and then looks at Tucker who is cutting away pieces of the meat with his knife.
"I'll have you free in no time, Sam!"
"You've gotta be kidding me."
Laughter throughout the whole room, while Tucker was being glared at by Sam.
Cut to Danny crouched on the ground. He jumps up and somersaults in the air before preparing to kick the ghost. The Lunch Lady catches his foot in her hand right before he hits her, then dangles a surprised Danny upside-down by his foot.
"Don't you see? This is why you need meet! You're skin and bones!"
"Well of course he is. He barely eats due to ghost fighting."
"What!?" Maddie exclaims (she has finally calmed down after seeing that picture) and starts looking over Danny. His face turned bright red as he tried to get his mom to stop.
"Danny! You're so skinny, like a skeleton. How often do you not eat?"
Danny shrugs and doesn't answer, his mom sees that he won't speak at that moment. "We'll be speaking later. Not just about this…"
As Danny is sent flying through the air, he turns intangible, phasing halfway through a nearby wall up to his waist before falling to the ground. Cut to the Lunch Lady as she summons Shish-Kebabs from a box, their pointed ends heading straight for Danny and he splits his body in two.
Jazz gasps, "A body should not be able to do that!" a few others looked either grossed out or freaked out.
Danny found his sisters reaction funny.
The meat passes through the stretched intangible area of his body he created. He smiles at the new power, but the smile quickly fades as he sees what the ghost is up to now. The Lunch Lady yells and summons meat out of all the boxes onscreen. Danny puts himself together again and watches the meat go flying towards the ghost. The meat soars around and attached to the Lunch Lady to form the meat monster she was earlier. She fires a meat fist at Danny, capturing him in her grasp
Tucker acts determined with his utensils, "Helps on the way, buddy!"
The Lunch Lady sends Danny flying off-screen. He screams and turns intangible going through a wall. Sam and Tucker looked scared as the Lunch Lady turns to them and growls.
"Run?"
"Run." Sam confirms.
The two of them yell and run towards the door, but a pile of meat blocks them from the exit. Danny partly comes back through the wall, his hand on the back of his head looking exhausted. Sam and Tucker run past him screaming, he looks determined and flies after them. Lunch Lady's fist almost slams down on the two of them but Danny grabs and the three of them fly through the wall intangibly. She doesn't have time to stop as her and the meat slams against the wall. Cut to Danny, Sam, and Tucker phasing through the wall outside and floating, turning tangible again. Danny looks exhausted.
Danny's family frowns worriedly.
"Gee, Danny. Fight meat monsters, flying though wall…You must be exhausted."
"What? Of course not! What would give you that idea?" he trails off and passes out causing the three of them to crash to the ground. Danny transforms back to his human self as Sam and Tucker look at each other.
"I so glad that doesn't happen as much as it used to." Danny says. Everyone looks at him, "I've gotten better the more ghost I fight."
His mom was thinking of ways to be able to get him to sleep more than he does.
Jazz is opening the front door of their house. "Mom? Dad?" she steps into the room and the door suddenly slams closed behind her. Two smoke bombs roll in front of her covering the scene with smoke.
"Now, Maddie! Hit her! I'm moving in! Get my back!"
Jazz glares at her parents and then glares at her snickering brother.
The smoke clears to show an irritated Jazz with her arms crossed as her parents have latched themselves onto her legs, the Fenton Extractor attached to her hair. Maddie and Jack let go her legs. Jazz walks off, the invention still attached to her hair.
"This is all going in the memoir."
Paulina, Star and a few other girls looked horrified, they would've started yelling if Adie wasn't giving them a nasty look as if daring them to start yelling.
Maddie and Jack get up off the ground. The front door opens to reveal Sam and Tucker carrying a still unconscious Danny.
"Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton! What a school Day! Poor Danny nodded off. We figured we'd just carry him all the way home and tuck him into bed without any parental interaction whatsoever. (the two of them are now halfway up the stairs while carrying Danny)"
"Don't get up! We know where to go. Bye!"
"Didn't you two think, that the way they were acting were strange?" Mrs. Foley asked while she sent a look to her son.
Maddie sighs, "I didn't have time to think much of it, because I needed to make sure Jack didn't do something super crazy to Jazz."
She nodded understanding.
Jack looks up at the ceiling, "Hmm…"
"Jack, Danny is not a ghost."
Danny says, "Um, actually I am." His mom smiles at him and shakes her head amused.
"You're right. Jazz is."
The screen fades and cuts to Danny who was sleeping until he wakes up with a yelp.
"Ah! Aah! Wha? What's going on?"
Dash and few others started laughing and Danny looked like he was going to say something but saw Adie looking like she wanted to say something and so he let her speak instead.
"I'm sure none of you would be laughing if you were in Danny's shoes and you wake up after passing out from fighting a ghost."
They stop laughing and started to look guilty, "I mean I'm sure all of us would develop anxiety just as much as Danny."
Danny goes to say something, "Don't be saying you don't have anxiety Danny, you know you do."
Danny looks down not protesting, his parents grew even more worried.
Tucker and Sam are looking down at him.
"You passed out. We took you home. You've been asleep for four days!"
Danny sits up alarmed, "Four Days?!"
"Nah. It's only been a couple hours." Danny lays down clearly still a little shaken.
"Knock it off, Tucker. This is the second time today your carelessness almost got him killed."
"Me? I almost got him killed? The only reason this happened is because you had to be unique. You had to take the meat away! (Sam crosses her arms and looks away) And I'm going to get it back!" Tucker storms out of the room.
Sam grows angry and yells, "You want to change that menu back? (goes to the door) YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME TO DO IT!" slams the door.
"Oh well. I'm sure everything will be back to normal by tomorrow."
Fade to outside Casper High where a few students are looking at something. Danny walks up, looking in disbelief.
"Or not. Maybe it'll be worse."
The adults were wondering what could be worse.
We pan over and see a bunch of meat lovers decked out in meat merchandise. On a stage, some girls are dancing in hot dog outfits. The girls dance offstage and Tucker appears carrying a microphone in his hand.
"What do we want?"
"MEAT!" the meat lovers exclaim.
"When do we want it?"
"NOW!"
Danny looks over at the other side of the protest. Pan over the vegetarian side is full of hippies, laid-back people and goths. Sam is standing on top of a school bus yelling into a microphone while carrying a sign that reads 'Now!"
"VEGGIES NOW! VEGGIES FOREVER! VEGGIES NOW! VEGGIES FOREVER!"
Now all the adults could now see why Danny said it was worse.
Sam and Tucker are now standing on opposite sides of Danny, glaring at each other.
"You guys put together two protests in one night?"
"Meat-eaters, Danny. Always ready to fight. And our high-protein diets give us the energy we need to do it quickly."
"Ultra-recyclo-vegetarians are always ready to protest. And because we don't have to waste time cooking our food, we can move even faster."
"Don't you guys think this is a little extreme?"
"No choice, buddy. You're either with me!"
"Or you're against him!"
Many younger kids looked freaked out and glad they wouldn't the one to have to answer this question.
Sam and Tucker lean over a freaked, out Danny who ducks a little as the two of them say, "So whose side are you on?"
A wind suddenly starts blowing and the sky turns gray. Sam and Tucker's eyes widen. Cackling is heard and Danny's ghost sense goes off. The crowd looks bewildered and confused. A voice yells angrily as the contents of a meat truck fly out in various directions. The meat swirls around and eventually forms a gigantic version of the meat monster the Lunch Lady Ghost was the previous day.
"It's Lunchtime!"
"She's here." Adie says before cracking up. (an: if you get that reference, please say what you think it is in your reviews)
A lot of people glared at her because she was laughing for a good two minutes before calming down.
Both groups of protesters run away while screaming in terror.
"Meat! Why have you betrayed me?!" Tucker exclaimed.
"Guys time to makeup. Now!"
Sam and Tucker hug as Danny transforms beneath their cover. They break apart their hug to reveal Danny Phantom, who files off-screen.
Many people and the ghosts were impressed by their friendship that the three of them had.
Cut to Jazz talking with a goth sitting at a picnic table away from all the chaos.
"Spike, you have to open up to your parents! Be true to yourself and them."
Pan over to Spike, who is wearing all black, has a mohawk, and is covered in piercings and tattoos.
"Tell them how you feel! I mean, it's not like they're gonna attack you or anything."
Jazz turns and glares at her parents who looked sheepish.
A green net suddenly captures Jazz. She yells in surprise. Spike watches as Jazz is dragged off-screen. Cut to Jack reeling in the net while standing behind some bushes.
"I've got her! And the Fenton Grappler is working like a charm!" Maddie is seen in the bushes next to him.
"I don't understand. If Jazz is a ghost, why hasn't she phased through the net?"
Jazz is standing under the net, "Because I'm not a GHOST!" she throws it off.
"You've ambushed me, suffocated me with smoke, and worse, I was pulled away from Spike before he had his breakthrough! What do you have to say for yourselves?"
Jack suddenly holds the Fenton Thermos out in front of himself. "Eat hot Fenton Thermos, ghost gal!"
The thermos simply sparks and does nothing. Jazz looks down at the thermos, then glares up at her parents. Jack scrutinizes the thermos.
"Hmm. Darn thing still doesn't work!"
"Hey, Danny how did you get it to work?" Tucker and Sam asked.
Danny just signaled them to keep watching.
Cut to Danny looking alarmed in front of the meat-covered Lunch Lady. The ghost yells ferociously before attempting to punch Danny, who flies out of the way. The ghost them tries slapping him with the other hand, but he dodges again. She then tries an uppercut which he also dodges. Danny then kicks the ghost hard and knocks her over. Sam and Tucker smile as the watch this.
"He really is getting better."
Danny smiles brightly and looks over at his friends in thanks. They smile back at him.
Danny looks down and smiles, then frowns as he turns back to the ghost. The ghost punches him and he goes sailing off-screen. Sam runs forward as she watches.
Many people wince.
"I sure hope he can take a punch!"
Cut to a jet airplane flying overhead. Danny is sent flying upward toward it. Inside the plane, a businessman and a flight attendant are shown.
"There's your water, sir!"
Their eyes widen as Danny suddenly phases through and up out of the ceiling. He then phases back down though the floor again, grabbing the businessman's water cup out of his hand. "Thanks!"
The humans and ghost turn to look at Danny, "She punched you hard enough for you to go up to an airplane?" Jazz asks as a few ghosts move a little bit away from Lunch Lady.
Danny nods, confirming what his sister asked.
Danny flies back towards the ghost, splashing the cup of water on his face before throwing the cup aside.
Sam glares at him for throwing the cup but surprisingly chooses not to comment.
Cut to Jack and Maddie. Both are looking at Jazz, who has her arms crossed, irritated. Jack suddenly smiles before looking at the thermos in his hand.
"I, Jack Fenton, from this day forth (Danny is shown flying towards the school) do hereby turn my back on ghosts."
Danny coughed in shock, and then looked towards his dad in disbelief. His parents smile at his surprise.
Danny slams into the ghost sending meat flying everywhere. The meat explosion lets off orange smoke in the distance behind Jazz, Jack and Maddie.
"How did you three not turn around when that explosion happened?" Adie asked them as they looked shocked wondering the same thing.
Danny weakly pulls himself out of a crater the explosion created. The Lunch Lady in her original form is standing there, "Oh, dear. What a mess. Are you okay?"
Danny finally pulls himself out of the crater and rubs his left arm a bit.
"Yeah. I think so."
The ghost has a small smile on her face, but suddenly goes back to her evil mode.
"TOUGH! BECAUSE YOU BEING, OKAY, IS NOT PART OF MY BALANCED DIET OF DOOM!"
Meat suddenly pours out of the crater forming five small piles in front of Danny, which turns into little meat monsters. Danny flies off-screen, with the meat monsters jumping after him. He does a flying kick that slices through all the monsters before landing back on the ground.
The teenagers especially the A-listers locked impressed by how he was fighting.
He looks up only to see the meat monsters form themselves again.
"Wasn't expecting that. (reverts back to human accidently) Or that."
A few humans and ghosts start to laugh a little.
The meat monsters grab Danny. He tries fighting them off, but they keep their hold and fly up with him. Two of the monsters let go of him while three dangle him upside down by his legs. Danny yells. Cut to Jack and Maddie. Jack is looking down at the Fenton Thermos.
"…And this Thermos can't trap ghosts because ghosts don't exist." Tosses the thermos away and it whacks a dangling Danny in the face making him catch it.
"The Fenton Thermos! But how am I going to get it to work."
The meat monsters drop him, and he yells as he plummets to the ground. "Change back! CHANGE BACK!" he luckily does.
Many people cheer, happy for him.
The meat monsters look surprised, then they become furious before they chase after him. Danny falls and phases through the ground between Jazz and their parents.
He says before completely going in the ground, "Thanks for the thermos!"
"HA! Ghost kid! I was right! You were wrong! Ghosts exist! I never doubted for a second!"
Jazz glared at her brother who smirked.
Jazz doesn't look pleased. Jack laughs and a large amount of meat lands on top of them. Cut to the Lunch Lady. Danny phases out from the ground, the Fenton Thermos in his hand.
"No! Soup's not on today's menu!" Lunch Lady yells angrily.
"I'm changing the menu, permanently! Please work."
He pulls the top of the thermos off and aims it towards the Lunch Lady. "I hope I'm right."
A blue aura surrounds Danny and then the thermos, which powers up before releasing a steam of energy. The energy forms a net that surrounds the surprised Lunch Lady and traps her. "NOOOOOOO!"
Danny says so no one would be confused, "I got the thermos to work by charging it up with some ectoplasm."
"Uh." Everyone nodded in understanding.
The energy swirls and sucks the Lunch Lady into the thermos and Danny (in human form) puts the lid back on the thermos. He smiles and looks up, then goes over to Sam and Tucker, who were trapped under one of the protest balloons. Danny helps Sam up.
"What happened? Where's the ghost?"
"My parents have their moments."
Maddie and Jack grin while Vlad who has been quiet for a while snorted more towards Jack.
Danny suddenly hears a faint beeping noise and he hides the thermos behind him.
'Ghost directly ahead.' The Fenton Finder said.
The meat covered Jack and Maddie walk up to the trio, Jack holding the Fenton Finder in front of him.
'You would have to be some sort of moron to not notice the ghost directly ahead.'
Danny notices that his parents started feel upset but he cheers them up by hugging them.
Danny, standing right in front of the device, smiles weakly. Jack and Maddie look up from the Fenton Finder towards him.
"Oh, sorry, Dad. (Points with his thumb behind himself) You just missed him."
"We got a runner!" Jack and Maddie run off-screen revealing Jazz with her arms crossed.
"Great back to square one." She walks away.
"So, you're not gonna tell 'em?" Tucker asked.
"Nah, I think I might've finally figured out what these powers are for. They make me-" A hand grabs his suddenly on the shoulder. His eyes widen when he looks up to see a furious Mr. Lancer. "In a world of trouble." The teacher said.
Lancer winces feeling bad.
Fades to show outside of the school at nightmare. Mr. Lancer appears with a megaphone in his hand.
"Manson! Pick up that T-bone!" the trio are picking up the mess from the protests.
"With my hands?" Sam asked in disgust.
"Foley! Pick up that Turfwich!"
"With my hands?" he asked the same way as Sam.
Mr. Lancer seems pleased and takes a bite out of a turkey leg before turning around and walking away. Cut to Danny sweeping up some meat. Dash is watching him sweep, looking pleased while leaning on the dumpster where the meat is being collected. He laughs. Danny looks over at Dash and then goes to the side of the dumpster. He grabs it, turning it intangible. The dumpster's contents phase out and fall on Dash, who gets trapped under a huge pile of meat.
His head is sticking out, "FENTON! A little help?"
"Whatever you say, Dash. Whatever you say."
Danny's eyes glow green as the screen fades to black.
Author's note: Sorry this chapter took so long for me to post, I got busy and then I got into one of my weird moods that makes me not want to write, then I was even more busy. So, next chapter Adie will point out that Freakshow is in the room because I realized he's the type of character to make himself known immediately. Let's just pretend his mouth had duct tape across it, also in the next chapter they'll be learning about Skulker. They will see the time Danny learned how to overshadow in the chapter after that. Then the two chapters after the next two will consist of some music videos they will be watching. I think sometime my O.C Adie will mention a lot of ship parings and fan theories that us fans have made over the years. Let me know in your reviews if you want a certain ship or theory mentioned before the time for Adie to bring them up comes (possibly they'll be brought up during the first set of music videos).
