In the halls of Casper High; Danny, Tucker, Sam were carrying boxes that was labeled with 'Save the Frogs' while Cedric trailed behind with the addition of a mono-eye piece of some digital display before Danny asked the most important question of their situation. "So, why exactly are we breaking our backs here, Sam? And not give one to Cedric?"

"Frogs' rights. We have to stop dissecting frogs in our school biology labs. And at today's assembly," They stopped walking as Sam continued her rant, ignoring the comment about Cedric on account of getting a better Thermos, somehow pulling insight from some random show with a British actor and a phone box that was bigger on the inside. "...I'm gonna demonstrate a humane alternative." She tilted the box forward for Tucker to read the words on top of it.

"'I Can't Believe It's Not a Frog Cadaver?'" Sam set the box down before pulling out a oozing mechanical frog before it started croaking out something to do with it.

"Please remove my detachable three-chambered heart." It croaked again just before Danny's sense went off and Cedric frowned as they all looked at the sitting box to see it glow green and shake, surprising Sam as she accidentally tossed the frog and landed it on Tucker's head, he struggling to get it off as Danny sighed to the figure that formed from the green smoke that bellowed out.

"Oh great. Him again." The ghost spoke its name and its intentions to all in earshot, which were only the four, with waving arms.

"I am the Box Ghost," He ranted while glowing green. "...and I will have my corrugated cardboard vengeance!" Danny turned into his hero persona, Cedric taking the box as the Box Ghost floated above them, Sam pulling the fake frog off Tucker's face before he exclaimed while covered in the green slime.

"Oh, gross!"

"You guys get to the assembly." Danny spoke as Cedric nodded and the trio headed off as Danny turned back to the pest ghost. "I'll get this moron sealed up tight." But the moron had some tricks as one of the discarded boxes opened and Danny grimaced to scalpels soaring out and nearly impaling him, had he not turned intangible. He quickly felt his chest and breathed as he remarked. "Huh. Maybe Sam has a point." His pause let the Box Ghost slam into him, sending him flying through a series of lockers and rooms before tumbling into the backstage of what he thought was the auditorium. His landing somehow also turned him back as he spoke again. "Oops, this is not going to be good." He didn't muse long before the Box Ghost, having followed in with phasing through the wall, ranted.

"Tremble before the might of the..." His hands glowed green. "...Box Ghost," A box floated up as the rant continued. "...as you are devoured by..." The overall ghost read the label before proclaiming again. "Uh, oh yeah. Costumes and props from the Broadway classic, My Fair Lady!" The box opened and a surge of clothes flew out before rushing Danny, knocking him back and under the clothes as the ghost laughed before shouting his 'Beware' before taking off through the ceiling as Sam TRIED to make her statement, speaking into the mic she had.

"Fellow students, something sick and disgusting is taking place right here in our school, and I'm about to show you what it is." The curtains opened for a large 'Save the Frogs!' sign, but that was not what people noticed at first as silence came before laughter and pointing. Sam turned to find Danny, standing up from the pile of clothes and was wearing a white-and-pink dress, a matching hat atop a wig of curls as Danny was embarrassed before he spoke.

"I didn't see any frog costumes in here, the clothes kind of fell on me." Tucker wasn't helping as he cheered.

"Whoo! Take it off!" Sam glared at their friend as Cedric just looked before shrugging before repeated with a serious tone. "No, seriously. He should take it off. That's weird."


The day was shaping up rather well, a few students were still laughing, but Danny actually was able to take it in stride as Sam lectured Danny for what he pulled. "Thanks to your little dress-up parade, my 'Save the Frogs!' presentation was a total bust."

"And speaking of bust, did you see Danny in that bra? Puce is not your color, pal."

"How did you even get dressed like that, the Box Ghost just threw clothes at you." Danny shrugged as they approached a locker covered in yellow caution tape, a piece of paper in Danny's hand as he spoke.

"Yeah, and now because that idiot Box Ghost trashed my locker, I've been assigned a new one." He looks over the numbers and speaks them aloud. "Locker...seven-two-four." Both Sam and Tucker gasped and looked like they had seen something terrible as Cedric raised his brow, Tucker pointing to the rusty, worn-down locker that was the locker given to Danny as Danny questioned while they walked over to it. "Guys, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." He chuckled before continuing the line. "...Or something really scary that we don't see every single day."

"Hello?! Locker 724? How do you not know the legend of locker 724?" Danny shook his head as he opened the locker, finding a gold-framed mirror inside which was perfectly intact as he reached over and touched it, it sparkling as the Fenton boy asked.

"What's the big deal with 724?" Before more could be said, the wig from the costume slammed itself onto Danny's head by the hand of Dash Baxter as he mocked.

"You left something behind, Fenton." Danny rolled his eyes as Dash and two of his jock buddies laughed before Dash continued. "Let's see if it fits in your new locker, with you inside!" With that, Dash grabbed Danny and shoved him in before slamming the door, the trio laughing as Tucker worked the locker as he mused.

"I was gonna tell you the locker was cursed," The locker opened and Danny fell out as Tucker finished. "...but I think you figured that out." Danny shook his head, slightly peeved with Dash as he spoke.

"I don't know what you're talking about, but I'll show you cursed. Cover me." He grabbed the both of them before transforming in the huddle and overshadowing Dash, ramming him into a locker before dunking his head in the janitor's mop bucket before leaving and transforming back with the friends as he high-fived Tucker while Sam glared at him and scolded.

"Danny."

"Relax, Sam." Tucker turned back to Danny as he commented. "It's about time you used that Phantom advantage for some ghostly get-back."

"That is if it doesn't bite him back." Cedric pointed out as he fist-bumped Danny and continued. "We should get going, no sense in lingering here." Sam sighed a bit as she headed off, the three guys behind her, but if any of them had lingered so, they would have heard a ghostly voice speak up from the new locker of Danny's.

"Bullies." A green light blazed alive behind the locker door as it repeated. "Bullies!"


The day and night continued before the next day as Maddie was working on a pair of mechanical gloves, Jazz was reading a book, while Jack ate his breakfast and took a few moments to comment and make theories with Maddie on the invention before Danny joined him and Jack spoke up. "So, Danny! What's this I hear about you getting a new locker?"

"Oh, uh, hehe. Uh, no big deal, really. Uh, nothing for you and Mom to get obsessive about." Jack almost lashed out in anger as if the new locker was the bane of existence, but he added to the line with a whisper to Danny.

"Why? Is it haunted?!" He leaned over and did so. "Like REALLY haunted?"

"Not sure..." Danny answered back in whisper, Tucker said it was cursed, but Danny didn't see it yet as Maddie joined in.

"Don't worry, son. You'll barely even notice us while we're staking out that locker during normal school hours." That got both guy's attention as Danny knew that they could do that and Jack knew that he was kinda loud and large to NOT be missed. It was that moment that Jazz spoke up from her book.

"What?!" She got up and walked over as she protectively covered Danny. "No! Danny is at a very critical stage in the development of his peer groups." He raised his fingers in a 'quote-unquote' motion as Jazz just lectured. "He's already considered a clumsy nerd. The last thing he needs is you two confirming it."

"Nice defense, Jazz. Total confidence-builder." Danny remarked as Jack took the strange gloves off Maddie's hands and showcased them with putting them on as he commented with confidence.

"And the best part is, thanks to the new Ghost Gloves, when that ghost comes out of that locker, I can spar with it mono à ghost-o." He punched a pillar and Danny was both amazed and surprised that he brought down a column of pipes and more from the ceiling with those tools as Jazz spoke up.

"Don't worry. Maybe girls will talk to you in college." She headed off as Danny before he voiced to himself.

"Girls talk to me, it's not really my fault that they dislike my guts... except Sam, she's a friend... a extreme, revolutionary friend..." He shook his head and headed out, the school was just as rowdy as he worked through his new locker before noticing one of Dash's friends, Dale, and another guy picking on someone from the marching band.

"Hey, Tubby the Tuba." Dale snatched the shako cap with a comment. "Nice shako." He then twisted it on the kid's ear as he continued. "Does it remove earwax, too?" Without prompt, Danny slammed his locker and stormed off as he didn't want to get involved with the problem right now, but that didn't mean that no one would do a thing as the locker glowed with the voice speaking up again.

"Bullies." Dale tossed the cap, after taking it, to his friend as the guy shouted.

"Go long!" He threw it and Dale went for it, only to get wrecked when the locker door swung open with such force that he broke his nose and left him in a daze as the shako fell on his head; while further down the way, Paulina used her charm to stop a boy wheeling a projector and asked in a flirtatious voice.

"I'm so fascinated by AV equipment." She distracted the poor boy while Kwan snuck up from behind. "Can you show me how it works?" Kwan tied the boy's shoelaces together to get the guy to trip, but the same power that nailed Dale struck again.

"Bullies!" A surge of green energy surged out of the locker and across the ceiling before knocking a trophy onto Kwan's head, causing him to stumble and hit a fire extinguisher case. The case opened and the extinguisher tumbled out before spraying form all over her before the shoelaces somehow fixed themselves with a little green glow as he was nonetheless unaware as he headed on his way. Lunch soon came around and the popular table went over their encounters of something else as Dale had a few tissues on hand to deal with the sudden injury.

"And all of a sudden, this locker door flies open and nails me." Paulina was brushing her hair clean of the form that knocked her back.

"I'm gonna be brushing this stuff out of my hair for a week!" Kwan was just as spooked as he remarked.

"It's like, this school is haunted." Over with the four friends, Sam commented on the 'apparent' level of ghostly attack on the A-Listers as Tucker and Cedric looked toward the same person who could have done those things.

"Apparently, someone's been busy." Danny paused before he answered.

"It wasn't me, I swear. I only have one target and you know that I am 'gaga' over Paulina so why hit her with foam!?" He turned invisible and quickly overshadowed Dash to dump his food on Paulina before leaving again, leaving Dash confused as ever and still no backtalk or anything from Dash as Danny turned visible again and remarked. "Now that was me." Sam tried to convince Danny to stop.

"Danny, I don't think you should be using your powers like-" She herself stopped when she spotted Mr. Lancer at the doorway and spoke. "Lancer. I'll be right back!" She runs off as Cedric sighed and just ate with his own comment.

"That girl is SO trying to get her point across, how will this turn out...?" Danny shrugged as Tucker spoke up.

"Don't listen to her, Danny. It's about time somebody struck a blow for Sidney Poindexter."

"Sidney who-dexter?" No, really, who was Poindexter, a person or a place? Cedric answered as well as he cleared his throat before speaking.

"Oh, that is what you meant." Cedric turned to Danny as he explained, Tucker pulling up a article about this 'Sidney'. "Sidney Poindexter was a student back in the fifties and owned Locker Seven Two-Four before you." He crossed his arms on the table as he continued. "He was one of the geek squad who was subjected to much worse pranks and bullying than anyone known in the history of Casper. Apparently, the very act of bullying him had become a requirement for graduation and it is said that he was stuffed into his locker so many times, it was believed that his spirit inhibits it even now." Danny raised his brow as he asked.

"And...?" Tucker looked confused while Cedric frowned.

"It's hazy, but after one such bullying experience, Sidney couldn't take it anymore, his kind and good nature lost value and, taking the matter alone, he took his own life." Danny frowned as Cedric continued to Tucker's actual surprise to the detail. "Whether it was an accident or on purpose, no one knows, but if he still clings here, it is likely that he is doing those attacks on the popular kids, to protect the little guy and geek alike, so try not to stump so low to make yourself the bully over a victim." Danny nodded before the trio heard Sam return with... a box of frogs as Danny questioned.

"Sam, what are you doing?"

"Nothing." She answered with suspicion as she set the box on the table bench and try to divert the subject by SAYING the subject. "Certainly not trying to smuggle frogs out of the bio lab while Lancer isn't looking." Suddenly, Danny was pelted with hamburger patties as Dash seemed to have recover enough to throw food.

"Hey, guys." Dash was holding some patties in hand with a few of the jocks with him. "What do you say we 'meat' my new locker neighbor?" Danny wiped the patties away as he glared at Dash with green eyes, but Sam held him back as she spoke.

"Easy, Danny. Take it easy." He sighed as he agreed.

"You're right, Sam. I-" He would have been pelted, if Cedric hadn't vaulted over and caught the random food stock in hand, bringing it up as he spoke.

"Rather uncooked, let me show you what a 'hot' patty can do." Danny grimaced as he worried that the food would come alive in Cedric's hand, but instead, the meat turned brown with a swift blast of steam and he threw it, the jocks caught it to their misfortune as it was too hot for their hands before Cedric finished, tossing the leftovers in the air and catching a sandwich that he snacked on before he spoke. "Don't try me, Baxter, you know my limits." The jocks didn't answer as they took off with hot patties before Danny spoke up, somehow getting a sandwich from Cedric as well from the throwing chaos.

"Thanks, Cedric, I didn't know you could do that."

"I am a man of many skills." Cedric smirked as they ate the sandwiches and sat back down as Tucker mused.

"Hmm. I wonder how Dash would feel if he had a frog in his throat."

"Or twelve. In his pants." Danny answered without thought as he looked at the box of frogs as Sam quickly shouted otherwise, picking up the box.

"Oh, no. You're not gonna exploit innocent amphibians for some juvenile revenge scheme."

"Juvenile?" Danny answered as his eyes flashed green from the indifferent look. "It is just a bit of payback, besides I am not using the full box." Later on, Danny was true to his word as he had a small box of frogs in hand and flew over as Phantom before pulling the back of Dash's pant open, to his exclaim.

"Hey!" To bide time, the underwear was wedged over Dash's head and the frogs were dumped in as he screamed in pain with ripped underwear and a hop around the hallway. "Wh-ow! Ow! O-ooh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" Danny allowed a chuckle before he remarked with the thought.

"A bit too juvenile, now that I think about it, but he actually had it coming for a while now." What he was not expecting was his locker finally releasing it's prisoner with a shout.

"Bullies!" A monochromatic nerd with specs surged half-way through the locker as he cheered. "Hey! I'm free! Finally, the doorway's been opened!" He quickly noticed Danny and confronted him while Danny was in his monologue. "You think that's funny, buster?" Danny stopped as he noticed the individual that was floating near him as he stated.

"Huh? What? Wait? You can see me? As I am?"

"Yeah, that's right, bub. Now leave that poor kid alone." He turned visible before looking between Dash and the new spirit that should have alerted him and back before he spoke.

"What? Oh." He could have laughed completely, but he lightly chuckled instead as he spoke. "Oh, man. I'm sorry, but do you ever have it backwards here."

"Don't hand me that jazz, Clyde. You're the bully from where I'm standing." Danny paused as he spoke.

"Okay, you got me there, but I'm not really the bully from where I'm..." He stopped, looked down and pointed at his feet. "Uh, floating."

"Uh, okay. Floating. Let's see how..." The old-fashioned spirit rose his arms and the hands started to glow green as he shouted. "...you like getting bullied." The locker swung open to the ghost's command as his eyes glowed red before school supplies surged out, the cafeteria faced flying trays and food and the science lab suffered broken materials and chemicals to Mr. Lancer's surprise as Jazz tried her best to convey that nothing was happening in the school to her parents outside.

"How many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing weird going on in this school!" Both Jack and Maddie shared a look of disbelief to that notion before a crowd of students surged out in fear before Jack jumped into action.

"Move, Maddie, move!" The ghost hunter parents charged into the school as Jazz slapped her forehead in annoyance as the school supply soared through Danny who had gone intangible to the attack as he tried diplomacy, Cedric's request for any fight with the ghosts.

"Look, you don't understand."

"I understand a bully when I see one." A ghost ray fired out of Dexter's eyes, hitting Danny as he flew through the library, and into another hall before he flew on back, sticking through the lockers as Sam was rounding up the loose frogs that Dash had gotten out and putting them back in the box.

"There you go, little fellas." The two came to a stand-off above her as the ghost lectured.

"Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, bully." Danny turned visible to the exclaim of the ghost. "I'm Sidney Poindexter," Tucker came up beside the grey-scale ghost as Poindexter pointed at him. "...and wherever there is a single nerd in need, I shall be there."

"Hey, who're calling a nerd?" Danny deadpanned with Cedric who also arrived that he was.

"You are the nerd in our group, Tucker, you and your number of devices." Danny answered as he charged Poindexter, Cedric face-palming as the ghost went intangible and Tucker was slammed into by Danny as the ghost went tangible again to Tucker's exclamation.

"That's the guy who used to have your locker. In your face, Mr. Skeptic."

"In his face?" Poindexter mused as he pulled out an ink pen. "Swell idea." He blasted Danny with ink and laughed before Danny breathed.

"Okay, that is enough, please." Danny charged again and slammed into him as they both went through the floor and into the basement, slamming hard as Danny pushed himself up. "Okay, not my best plan, but I didn't think that talking was going to work right now." The rings appeared around him as he grimaced. "Huh, I'm that weak...? Man..." He reverted back to human and Poindexter gasped in surprise.

"Holy socks! You're the halfa!"

"The what-a?" Danny paused before continuing. "Wait, I actually have a name among ghosts!? I have only be getting 'whelp' from Skulker and no other."

"The halfa." Poindexter went into lecture. "Everybody in the Ghost Zone talks about you. You're half a boy, half a ghost. The halfa! You have all our powers on the human plane. An-" He trailed off to rage as he shouted. "And you're using your powers for evil?"

"No! Look! Just listen!" Danny paused as he rubbed his head. "I-I have been holding it in for a bit too long, but I was just getting back at Dash, I-I even accidentally took over Dash's body because I was frustrated and-

"Hey, wait. You can take over a person's body? Jeepers creepers, I would flip if I had your powers. I wonder..." Sidney turned intangible and soared into Danny, weakened from the attacks, entering his body that started to glow green and shake as Danny swiftly demanded with his resistance.

"Hey! What are you doing?!"

"Giving you a taste of your own medicine, bully."

"Listen to me! Dash- isn't-" Anymore was lost as his whole body started to distort and emit strange sounds before a strange calm came over to Poindexter's voice coming through.

"You might use your powers to pick on innocent kids..." Phantom floated upwards through the ceiling as Sidney continued, his grey eyes now dominating Danny's eyes as Sidney was now in control of Danny's own body. "But I sure as sugar won't." Phantom floated into the locker and through the mirror as the surroundings became that of an older time-frame with a grey scape before a jock spoke up.

"Hey, Poindexter." Poindexter's body turned into the locker, the mirror gazing back a pair of green eyes and while Danny's initial reaction was to freak out, he had a different answer altogether.

"I'm going to end Sidney Poindexter... this is not cool..."


Jack and Maddie ran through the halls with Lancer behind them, soon coming up to Tucker and Sam who still had the box of frogs on hand before Maddie demanded. "Is it true? Did you kids just witness a ghost attack?"

"Fear not, young ones." Jack answered as Cedric rolled his eyes to the sight of electrified Ghost Gauntlets in the air. "These gloves are made for grabbing!" At that moment, Danny appeared from the flooring, Cedric frowning to the sudden appearance as Tucker gasped and moved to cover 'Danny' from sight as he turned tangible again.

"Uh, no ghost here, Mr. and Mrs. F."

"Only a girl trying to create a diversion for her own needs." Sam just went with it as she too spoke.

"Right. Right. No ghosts here." They just ran off as Tucker turned to his 'friend' and slightly scolded.

"Watch it, Danny. Your parents almost caught your intangible act." But Danny just smirked while back in the black-and-white world, the actual Danny took in his new surroundings in Poindexter's body.

"This must be the '50's version of ghostly Casper High, though it's like I dropped into Grandpa Fenton's yearbook, weird..." He stopped as a male teen paused in front of him as well.

"Hey, Poindexter." He pointed at the shirt as he continued. "You got a spot on your shirt." Danny didn't even blink before he snatched the finger, everyone stopping as Danny spoke, focusing his own strength somehow through Sidney's body.

"Not in the mood right now for jokes." Without pause, he turned the fist, a resounding crack came as Danny pushed past and heavily forced a leg that tried to trip him out from under its host, the girl in the poodle skirt responsible lightly sobbing as Danny spoke to her injured state. "Yes yes, see you next fall, I've heard and felt that joke TOO many times." He didn't even pause as he turned, suddenly grabbing a greaser's leg before flipping him over and giving him a wedgie. "You don't abide by the dress code one bit, so what is a wedgie to YOUR record, right!?" He tossed the guy and continued on, the students actually backing up before the doors flew open and Danny hummed before closing them and musing to himself. "I need to figure this out, and soon." Back in the real world, Cedric eyed the now 'Danny' as he spoke, Tucker now carrying the box of frogs.

"Ooh, ooh! Spiff diddly dee, man. So this is what it's like to have friends."

"You sure you're alright, Danny?" Sam asked as Tucker joined in as well.

"Danny?"

"Oh, me? Yeah, right. I'm right like Ike, Mike."

"Why does your voice sound so weird?"

"Uh... puberty?" Cedric narrowed his brow as Tucker asked about Poindexter.

"What happened to Poindexter?"

"Oh, that square?" They stopped walking and Cedric was positive that someone was going to get hurt. "He flew the coop. Permanent-like." Suddenly, he gasped, veins popping up across his arms as he breathed. "Uh, just my lack of breath, that guy nicked me good a bit." But in truth, Poindexter was panicking, Danny's body was just fine, so why did it feel like he was about to break down from the ground up? He walked again to the suspicious looks of Sam and Tucker and Cedric's slight narrowed brow before he breathed and let it go for now as they watched him approach a vending machine with Dash pounding on it.

"Come on! Give me my soda!"

"Hey, let me help you out there, pal." Danny phased his hand through the vending machine and fumbled through it before he found the can and pulled it out, Dash taking it and drinking it as the trio joined again as the football player crushed the emptied can.

"Thanks, Fenton."

"Eh, no problemo."

"What, are you going through puberty?" Dash questioned as Sam and Tucker shared a questioning look for themselves before he shifted through his pockets, lightly groaning before he came to a conclusion. "Uh, you know, I'm a little tight on quarters. Think you can get a few more sodas for me and my pals?"

"Hehe, you betcha." With a wink, Danny phased his hand through the machine to dispense the sodas as Sam scolded.

"Danny, that's stealing." 'Danny' mused as he gathered the sodas in arm.

"Eh, I'm sure that poor kid lost more than his fair share of quarters to the vicious bullies in this school. It's time somebody evened the score." Cedric made a motion with his hand for a half-half notion as 'Danny' called out. "Hey, everybody! Egg creams on me."

"I don't know what the heck an egg cream is, but thanks!" Sam sighed as Cedric just watch it happen.

"Well, this is new." Back with Danny, he spent some time to roll his arms as Sidney's body was a bit overtaxed before he checked his locker in the black-and-white realm.

"This is how I came in." He opened it as he continued to search. "There's got to be a way back through here!" He paused and touched the mirror, looking through his real-world locker as it swung open. "Well, that answers Dale's nose..." He peered through and let his sight take in the crowd being given soda by... him? He stopped before musing. "Of course, he's in my body while I'm in his... how does that even work... we're ghosts, is that it?" He shook his head as he watch it happen before Dash cheered, toasting with his own can.

"Here's to Fenton!" The crowd cheered as well as Danny spoke up in his confusion.

"What the heck?! How did he even...!?" He stopped when Sam and Tucker walked past the locker and called out., unsure where Cedric was right now. "Tucker! Sam! It's me, Danny!" They didn't hear him as Kwan spoke to his body.

"Hey, Fentonmeister! We're short one for touch football. Are you in?"

"Posi-lutely abs-itively." Poindexter spoke through Danny's body as Danny just hung his head in disbelief, how did Poindexter even manage this and does he know...? Danny shrugged as Kwan replied in kind.

"Posi-lutely?" He laughed. "When did you get a sense of humor?" He headed off with the rest of the crowd, Poindexter pausing with a panic and went to slam the locker's door just as Danny closed his side, preventing himself from getting thrown back as he breathed.

"That was a bit close, I need to figure it out." He didn't muse for too long before a jock arrive to torture him.

"Hey, Poindexter. What's black and blue and can't touch the floor?" He chuckled, but it stopped as Danny cracked his neck and turned.

"I... am not in the mood, the answer... you if you don't leave." That enraged the jock, but the smirk returned as he lifted Danny up with the finish of the punchline.

"You! Ha!" Danny just gave a deadpan look, didn't even flinch before the punch was thrown, if anyone was near the real-world locker, they would have heard the wail of a jock that just had his wrist broken and fractured further. On the football field, however, two teams were about to square off, the jocks and Poindexter in one as Dash explained.

"Okay, Fenton. After the snap, I'll hand the ball off to you." 'Danny' saluted before heading off, wincing once as his veins appeared again, but continued on his way with a crazy laugh, heedless of the jock plan to leave him open for punishment as they broke up the huddle for the game. Meanwhile, Danny as Poindexter left the now-broken jock in the halls before he shouted to the crowd, his green eyes flaring to show them the difference from the humble Poindexter.

"Anyone ELSE want to pick on Poindexter!?" That had the effect as everyone backed off before he breathed. "Good, I have long faced this type of abuse for TOO long, it seems to also haunt me here, so DROP it... now." He hissed and the crowd scrambled in fear as he turned to his locker and opened it before resting a hand on the mirror. "Have to contact them somehow." He generated energy as green as his eyes and sent it through the mirror as it emerged from the other side and soared through the school and to the field before starting to carve a message before their feet. Meanwhile, the two groups lined up and Dale past the ball to Dash who winked at him and Kwan to give space on 'Danny' who was confused as Dash passed the ball while Sam and Tucker whined to the coming tackle.

"Well, it was nice knowing him."

"Think I can have his computer?" Cedric shook his head when he joined the pair before he stopped when he noticed the message at their feet, brow raised as the message read. 'TUCKER, SAM, OPEN LOCKER 724' which meant what he had suspected, but it confirmed it while the opposite team went to take 'Danny', but he just phased through, making it look like he just dodged them all and ran for a touchdown while the jock group were in states of astonish before Dash spoke.

"Fenton's got game! Who knew?" 'Danny' made it and danced in celebration as the pair of friends breathed in relief before looking down, barely even reading the message before Jack and Maddie ran over, stomping out the words as Jack spoke.

"There's a ghost in here. I can feel it in my boots!" Two individuals, from the small group and the sole person trapped, went 'No kidding' as Jack raised his hands donned in the Ghost Gauntlets. "And I'm not leaving this campus 'til these gloves grab some ghost." The Finder in Maddie's hands began to beep and she turned to the source that was looking right at 'Danny' as it read 'GHOST!' and his image before she commented.

"A ghost? That can't be right." She hummed before continuing her thoughts. "Looks like we'll be staking out the school all night. Don't wait up."

"In that case, I need to use the little ghost hunters' room." Jack handed the gauntlets to Tucker as he continued to reply. "Hold these gloves, son. Where I'm going, there's no need for that much power." They headed off as Dash shouted.

"Party at Fenton's house!" Students cheered as 'Danny' spoke up in joy.

"Hot dog! Where does he live!"

"It's your house, bonehead. Is he hilarious or what?" Kwan commented as Sam and Tucker looked up to the group as she scolded the change.

"Free soda, a touchdown, and the opportunity to trash a classmate's living room. How easily the letter jacket and pom-pom set is swayed." Tucker shook his head as he spoke.

"I don't know. Danny seems a little...off." Cedric nearly voiced his opinion as well before Sam turned her eye to her badge for 'Save the Frogs!' and made to use it.

"Although, the residual popularity effect could work to our advantage." Taking it off, she ran over to Kwan and waved the badge about. "Oh, Kwan! You simply must wear one of these 'Save the Frogs!' badges. It's all the rage."

"I don't know..." However, it had the desired effect as 'Danny' rushed over and took the badge with glee.

"Hey! Boss badge. Can I have one?" He put the badge on and that turned the other kids to Sam's side as Dash called out with Paulina and Kwan joining in.

"Hey, I want one!"

"Me, too. I can wear it with my old army lime green baby tee!"

"Give me one, yo! I started this trend."

"Hang on, folks." She said as Tucker and her headed back to the school. "Plenty more in my locker where that one came from." With the attention taken elsewhere, 'Danny' felt a hand grab him and Cedric smiled as he spoke.

"It's time we had a talk, 'Dexter'." The grey eyes widened before they regained the confidence and a smile as Cedric lead him far from the group as he spoke.

"Whatever you think is happening, it is not, it's just..."

"Danny Fenton throwing in his lot with the popular kids..." Cedric answered as he lightly tossed the guy forward as he continued. "I understand if Danny did something rude or horrible, but Dash is the head football star."

"So what, he got what..."

"Was coming to him?" Cedric hummed before he shrugged. "Maybe you don't care, maybe I don't, but in Casper nowadays, the popular kids are allowed to get away with everything; bullying, cheating, insults, and distractions." Cedric kept Poindexter off-guard as he explained. "Like I said, Dash is the head football star and his favorite subject of bullying and insults is Danny Fenton, the fact that you shifted the power balance is one thing and it would be okay, but I don't think Danny himself is going to sit idly by." He pointed and Poindexter reached up and his hand was veining out. "What would happen to a ghost if their whole obsession, their reason for existence, is suddenly shifted in a different direction?" Poindexter now looked scared as he stammered.

"B-But that square was...!" Cedric nodded as he rested a hand on the guy's shoulder.

"He was stooping to the level that bullies would, I warned him, but he still wanted to get a bit of payback. Vain pride, maybe, but he knows that his powers are not for show, he could do some real damage with them and he is the kind of guy that puts people first unless you push him too far." He removed his hand as Poindexter touched the spot. "I wouldn't stop you from trying to change the status quo, but if Danny somehow unravels your whole world in your own body, you would be facing a possible power reversal and potential spiritual restoration or meltdown." Poindexter looked really scared at the thought while, in the school, Danny finally got Sam and Tucker's attention with his locker swinging open, surprising them as Danny called out from inside the mirror.

"Sam! Tucker! In here!"

"Poindexter?"

"No! It's me, Danny! Poindexter took over my body and sent me into this bizarro spirit world of Casper." Both Sam and Tucker were skeptical as they crossed their arms and Sam spoke for an answer.

"Prove it." Danny had the perfect one, as misfortune for Tucker.

"In second grade, Tucker threw up in your lunch box, but he told you Ricky Marsh did it." Tucker, eyes widen, waved his hands for Danny to stop, but the damage was done as Sam gasped and directed her anger to Tucker.

"What? I kicked him off the monkey bars for that!" She pointed at the guilty-smiling boy and continued. "It was you?" They stopped in recognition and turned to the mirror as both spoke at the same time.

"Danny?" He tried pushing through, but it was in vain as he explained.

"The mirror acts as some kind of portal, but I can't phase through it." He groaned as he continued. "Serves me right. I'm only in here because I was acting like a bully. Now I'm in here and I'm gonna get bullied for the rest of eternity!" He paused before he kept going. "Or I would, but somehow I can control my own strength and... I was a bit more hostile to these other spirits, I swear I think I left that jock in stitches." Sam and Tucker shook off the notion that Danny was a threat to the ghosts on the other side, but Sam came up with a thought.

"You might not be able to get out, but that doesn't mean Poindexter can't get back in."

"I doubt he's in a big hurry to go back where he came from."

Danny paused before he got an idea. "I know how to get him in here. Here's what you need to do."

"No need, home slice." The trio jumped when Poindexter arrived, Cedric behind him. "I need to know what you did to my home." Sam and Tucker felt that it was a conversation that was of the private nature and headed off to keep the popular kids occupied with the badges as Danny and Poindexter had a stare-off, going for a few minutes before Cedric started as he asked Danny.

"Danny, what have you been doing on the other side?"

Danny shortly forgot Poindexter for a moment as he explained. "I... Cedric, I don't..." Danny sighed as he flopped in the locker and continued. "This world... I can use my own strength here, but I could feel the rage, the hate, and bitterness that must have been trapped in Poindexter, I... I stepped up, but with some bad consequences, I just attacked these ghosts for what; freedom, respect, heck even hope?" He hummed as he continued. "I don't know, but I didn't want to be the doormat, I couldn't.. couldn't let that happen..."

"A fight only invokes more hate, Danny." Cedric answered as he remained to the side. "You envision yourself as the hero and, sometimes, a hero must make hard choices to keep going."

"Yeah... but at what cost; his soul or his will...?" Danny just laid there as the two watched him on the other side. "I could have been the cool kid, I could have just stepped out from the shadows of being invisible, but after what happened with Technus, I could see that fame is a curse in of itself, being the top dog is just to let those who helped you to that position, those invisible, take the beatings and trauma, Sam and Tucker have been great, but I betrayed their trust once, Sam even wants me to be the weak link, to keep myself in line, but what stops me from being human...? Just to not be feeling the pain." He sighed as Poindexter spoke, finally taking his chance.

"I was bullied and insulted so many times, but did I attack my oppressors...?" He shook his head as he continued, walking over to the locker. "No, but I was just human, I cared enough to be alive and I took your own body to make myself feel alive again, but I now realize that... I was the fool." He rested a hand in the locker and looked with the grey eyes to the mirror that reflected his face. "Because I died, hating and blaming bullies for their horrible acts and the very reasons to force me to only accept one course to get out of it, I grew as a ghost, centered on the notion that I need to keep the bullies away, but my curse haunts me to my ghostly home, a nightmare of the high school. I was... blind to my own problems because a ghost with his obsession and home threatened with change could be affected just as well, I could be changed or destroyed if you affected my world any further." He pulled out of the locker and transformed into ghost form as he took flight. "That's why, buster, I am going to bring you to a halt, you will not affect me anymore with your acts." Danny was taken back before he smirked.

"Come get it then." Poindexter needed no more as he charged the mirror, phasing into the home he called as Danny dodged and started with Poindexter on the floor. "You've had your fun. Now I want my body and my life back." Poindexter stood up as he spoke in counter, his power and will refresh in his stomping grounds.

"Forget you, bully! You're not going anywhere." He blasted toward Danny, but mucked up the strike, slamming into Danny with his behind as Danny crashed and shook his head as Poindexter tried again with more confidence and will as he laughed and went intangible. "I'm doing it!" Danny dodged to Poindexter phasing through the wall as Danny spoke up.

"You may have my powers, but you sure don't know how to use them. 'Course, I don't know how to use them very well myself, but at least I know how not to use them better than you do and have some great friends to guide me on the path." Poindexter came back to attack as Danny dodged like a pro, his own confidence coming back to him as he called out. "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses." He ducked under and knocked Poindexter back. "You couldn't hit a guy with glasses." He dodged once more with an under sweep. "In fact, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn right now!" This frustrated Poindexter as he called out.

"Hold still." The bell rang and the halls were filled with students that now watched as the fight went down, chanting the word.

"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" Poindexter tried again and again, but Danny had learned well in his own short experiences and training with Cedric when he could as he ducked and left Poindexter spinning.

"Hey! Get a load of Poindexter. He's fighting the halfa!"

"Hehe! Look at him stand up to that weird-haired ghost boy."

"I'm not a bully! I never insisted to be one!" He was knocked into the locker with the door closing as Poindexter, finally hitting Danny, gloated a bit.

"Now, if you don't mind, I'm gonna live it up some more in your body." The locker opened and Poindexter drew back in shock as Danny looked back with the mirror in hand and primed to throw it into the ground. "What?!"

"One false move, and I smash your door back to my world."

"You wouldn't. You'd strand us both here." Danny lowered the mirror as he spoke.

"Are you willing to risk that?" Poindexter reached to Danny's keep away before Poindexter tried another tactic.

"I've got a better idea. I can make you. With your powers, I can make you do anything." Poindexter went intangible once more and phased into Danny, just as he smiled, dropping the mirror by the lockers and glowing green as he commented.

"That's what I was hoping you'd do." His body distorted and changed once more before he fell to the ground and he, back in his own body, phased out of Poindexter and flew into the air as Poindexter resumed his own body and exclaimed.

"Huh? No!" He looked up, surprised to see a smile on Danny's face as he spoke.

"Thanks for trying to protect the little guy, but for now, you just get your own page together, you're still you and sometimes, a hero needs to make the hard choice." He flew into the mirror and Poindexter picked it up before he too smiled.

"I think you did more here than I ever did for you. I feel... lighter now, stronger..." He gripped his hand and nodded as he felt students walk over to him and cheer for him.

"Hey, nerd! Nice job standing up to the halfa."

"Who'd have thought you had it in you?"

"You wanna grab an egg cream?" He smiled and put the mirror down in his locker, feeling that it would soon change lockers out in the real world, as he spoke.

"Of course, I could hang here for a little bit." He closed the locker and turned to the students. "Hey, the heck with the egg cream. Who's up for a diet soda? Whatever that is! I could use one right now with all of you!" Back in the real world, Cedric watched as Lancer walked through the halls with a box of frogs before Locker 724 swung open, Danny falling out and toppling Lancer to the ground as the frogs escaped, Lancer chasing after them as Sam and Tucker had waited it out with Cedric after the badges were sorted out.

"No! Come back!"

"Oh, dear. Whatever will we do?" Sam questioned with sarcasm before Danny walked over, looking down as Sam spoke up again. "Good one, Danny."

"Yeah. But how do we know you're really Danny?" Tucker questioned as Cedric joined them to Danny's answer.

"Because I used my powers for the wrong reason and became exactly the kind of person I hate. It got me into a load of trouble, and I'm not gonna do that again, not with people out there who can keep me on the path." Sam nodded as she commented.

"Now that's the Danny I remember." Danny headed back and grabbed the mirror from his locker as he continued.

"Just one more thing to do." Where Sam and Tucker were expecting him to just bust the mirror to prevent Sidney from coming out again, he instead surprised them as he turned and offered the mirror to Cedric. "You take it, Sidney was trusting of you to explain it out for him, I think he needs that sort of friend on his side." Cedric surprised Danny, however, when he pushed it back to him.

"You keep it, he may have been on the wrong foot with you, but he trusts you even more, you changed his world and given him a better reason to be, and he would always have us as his friends on this side of the looking glass." Danny flipped it over and smiled as the mirror flickered to him as well, looking at not the opposite side, but to the four faces that were there.

"Got it." He stashed it under his arm as Mr. Lancer called out.

"Fenton!" They turned to the balding man as he was wearing one of the badges and in front of a crowd that promoted the frog campaign. "You can't just remove school property."

"Sure, I can." Danny paused as he pointed out. "This old thing has got some shine to it and I think it would benefit having a new owner for it." Lancer paused before he sighed and nodded as he stilled punished Danny.

"I'm holding you responsible for the escaped frogs though, but seeing how..." He looks to Dash who was part of the crowd before continuing. "...upstanding students like Dash Baxter have made their opinions known, I'm willing to overlook the frogs. Miss Manson, you could learn a thing or two from them about activism." Sam frowned at the fact that she promoted the frogs, yet she wasn't given the credit as Lancer pulled out a notebook and pencil before writing in it. "Still, that leaves the matter of your locker. I'm going to have to assign you a new one." Danny nodded as he could do with one, the Box Ghost was going to get his moment for now...


Where Danny's new locker was turned out to be close to the band room as he fixed the mirror and closed the door as a tuba walked past with Dash and Kwan close behind as Kwan commented.

"Hanging with band geeks, Fenton?" Danny shrugged as Dash joined the insult.

"No amount of free soda's gonna fix that." They headed off as two band kids walked up to him and one asked him a question.

"Hi. I'm Lyle. Wanna help me clean my spit valve?" He held up his instrument as Danny paused before shaking his head, but directing them to the fountain before he spoke with a sigh.

"My fifteen minutes of popularity is up, and I wasn't even here for it, must have been fun for Poindexter though." Sam stood beside him as she held a mechanical frog in hand.

"Yeah, but at least it wasn't a total loss." She looked at the frog and continued. "Looks like this baby's gonna get some use after all." From out of nowhere, the Box Ghost swept in and stole the frog out of her hands before boasting.

"Aha! I am no longer the Box Ghost. I am now the mechanical frog ghost!" The frog, however, crackled with electricity and the ghost dropped it in fear, onto Tucker's head before he ranted again. "Uh, I've changed my mind! I am once again the Box Ghost, who will have nothing to do with mechanical amphibians." He raised his arms and shouted. "Beware!" He phased through the lockers as Danny commented.

"Now there's a guy who knows exactly who he is." The frog croaked and Cedric rolled his eyes before removing it, giving Tucker a rag, and handed it back to Sam as the four just lingered for a bit, the mirror that once glowed green with its previous owner's form, now glowed teal with a soothing breeze of lavender in the air, calmly stopping a jock from bullying as he smelled the air and flopped on the floor with a happy look on his face...
