On the exterior of Casper High, Tucker was sitting on the steps as he recorded his thoughts on his PDA. 'Some people have a lot, and some people don't. But everybody's got something.' He raised his brow with smug confidence and a smile. "Me, I've got charm, good looks, and modesty." He stopped to the record thoughts that he had before continuing. "My best friend, Danny?" Tucker looked up to the sky as he thought back to when it all changed, all because both had let their own sight be blinded...
At a local swap meet, both Danny and Tucker grabbed the same pack of skateboard wheels before the entry continued. 'He has something else.' The two turned to the other before Danny spoke up.
"Two for me, two for you?"
"Sounds fair." Both reached into their pockets and gave some of the cash to the owner as the entry continued.
'Danny and me have known each other since, like, forever. And we share everything.' They headed over to 'Madam Babazita's Mystical Oddities' booth and the African-American tech-head lifted up a bottle that was oddly-shaped and believed to be a genie's bottle, dismissing it just as quickly.
"A genie in a bottle? I don't think so." He put it down and thanked the elderly woman for her time. "Thanks, anyway." They kept on walking as a young girl and her mom passed them before the girl started going off for cotton candy in pleading.
"Please, Mommy! Please, Mommy, can I have some cotton candy, please, please, please, please?"
"I think you've had enough sugar today."
"I want it! I want it! I want it!" The toddler shouted as her balloon's string, having been moved with her reaching for the booth's sugary treat, latched onto the bottle that Tucker was looking at before the thread knocked it to the ground, shocking the seller as green mist bellowed out and formed into a spirit, dressed in a harem outfit with no legs as its seductive voice called out.
"And your heart's desire is my command." She turned into the mist again as Danny stopped when his ghost sense kicked in and turned to see the spirit causing the cotton candy to erupt in geysers, a flood of cotton candy all over the place as Tucker added to the entry once more in explanation about what Danny had that neither of them shared.
'We share everything, except one thing.' Danny looked around before he called out, no one noticing the change at all except Tucker.
"I'm going ghost!" With that call, Danny Fenton was replaced by the face and body of Danny Phantom, the unknown ghostly hero of Amity Park and Tucker acknowledged that in the story.
'Danny's got superpowers.' Danny took flight to confront the ghost that was causing the chaos as she turned and actually replied with curious nature and interest.
"I am Desiree. What is your wish?"
"None of your business, Candy Pants."
"Surely there must be something..." She reached out, but Danny reacted poorly than how he should have as he called out with backing up.
"Hey, get away!" Energy glowed from his hand before he aimed it, blasting Desiree away as he questioned aloud, looking at the glowing hand he now had. "What the heck? What's going on? Is this... a new ghost power?" Tucker agreed as he cheered form the ground.
"That was slamming! Whatever that was." Danny floated down as Tucker questioned. "You've got another power?" Danny nodded as he looked at his hand.
"I guess."
"Man, that's the cool thing about your powers, man. There's no downside!" He raised a hand in the universal sign of friendship. "Gimme five!" Tucker actually chuckled as it was not his brightest moment as Danny tried to high-five back, but ended up blasting Tucker into a pile of cotton candy, more falling on top of him. "I'm okay!" Danny helped the best friend out as Tucker paused before he started it again, starting with the day later on, the football game on Saturday night...
'So, anyway, I guess the craziness really started at the game Saturday night.' On that day, Sam was actually REALLY sick, but somehow Cedric Trace, fourth friend of the group, had a gas mask on as Sam commented in her miserable state while they sat on the bleachers, sneezing a storm.
"I'm sick as a dog and I hate sports. Why am I here?"
"Because Danny's here and he's got the best seat in the house!" Best seat of the house was out of the question as they looked to the field as the mascot of a terribly-designed raven leapt about as if to promote the game as a announcer called out.
"And now, everybody, here they are, your very own Casper High Ravens!" The football team ran across the field and would have trampled the mascot if it hadn't dodged out of the way with a roll and lashed out its arms in disbelief before removing the beak head a bit to reveal that Danny was in the suit.
"Fill in for the mascot. It'll be fun. You'll meet cheerleaders." He commented with sarcasm before heading off the field as the whistle blew. No matter how much the Ravens tried, they were not in the running as their quarterback was utter, well, crap and his name Dash Baxter. He could catch the ball, but he just stood like a dummy to be tackled, he tried to pass the ball and got tackled, and even tried going the other way which was illegal in real-world football if done fully, and he still got tackled as Tucker whined about the utter garage that the team was doing.
"This is pathetic. Our team's fading fast." Sam sneezed as she headed off.
"Me, too. I'm outta here. Later." She left the game as the team huddled to make a plan as Dash just scowled.
"Man, I wish I could turn into the kind of monster who could crush these guys single-handed." As if on command, a green mist entered Dash as he turned away from the huddle, his body changing to an over-sized monster and ripping the uniform. Danny hummed before turned and noticed what just happened with an confused 'huh'. The beast roared at a teammate, scaring them off before his ghost sense went off to see the harem ghost fly off as Danny exclaimed.
"Oh no!" The monster Dash threw the ball so hard for it to catch fire and just as easily rushed for it and caught it as the announcers commented.
"Wow! It looks like those high-protein breakfasts are really paying off!" Danny rushed over to the remaining two as Tucker spoke.
"Do you believe this, Danny and Cedric? Dash is a beast!" A touchdown cracked the very ground as Danny grimaced.
"And getting beastier." The monster roared with flexing arms as Danny talked to the pair with the last comment from the announcer's box.
"Holy Mark McGwire, look at those arms!"
"I think he's running on ghost power." Danny turned in the mascot suit as he spoke once more. "I need your help!"
Tucker stood up as he exclaimed for a chance. "To kick some ghost booty?" He paused before he gave an answer.
"Sort of." His eyes flashed green while Cedric removed the mask as he took off himself and switched into the Exorcist armor before blasting off to follow the ghost while Tucker answered.
"I'm in." The Dash monster lined up with the players for the snap as his very presence was terrifying before growling.
"...Fifteen! ...Twenty-five! ...Three two!" Danny floated behind in Phantom form before he exclaimed to the smell.
"Whoa!" He held his nose as he continued. "Ghost energy's pretty strong. But hopefully, ripe for the picking." He phased his hand through Dash's head from the back, provoking a questioning 'huh' before Danny pulled a ghost with Dash's shape of head out and took off as Dash shrunk back down, dazed before muttered in his tattered appearance.
"Uh...hike?" The ball went to him and he was tackled down once more as Danny dealt with the ghost behind the bleachers, sucking it up with his Fenton Thermos.
"Back to the Ghost Zone for you, pal." Tucker narrate once more as he typed it down on his PDA of the event.
'Danny had no problem getting that ghost out of Dash.' That meant everything as Danny capped and headed off as Tucker brought on a more... human part of the entry. 'But, we lost the game which was actually true that none of the players were willing to get really dirty, even Dash as he was just posing, but it was still bad news for the guy filling in for Danny, who was filling in for the guy who usually wears the mascot suit - me.' Tucker was the original owner of the mascot suit, using it to try and meet girls, and now, he was hanging upside down from the field goal as a group of Jocks started to approach with baseball bats.
"Man, every time Danny goes ghost, I get the short end of the stick." Tucker grumbled as the moment was added to by the jocks interested to the beatdown.
"Hey, guys. A raven piƱata."
"Haha! Let's hit him until the candy comes out." Tucker did grimace, but from the entry, Tucker wrote a bit more as he explained what happened next.
'While that would have been painful and needed some serious R&R, another friend jumped in; Poindexter, having become stronger and made a good friend in the four of us, somehow knew that I was in trouble and rescued me, I have never before seen such a violent torrent of wood and air completely knock out the jocks in such a way, but back to the main tale and Danny's discovery of something that saved me as well.' Heading back to Fentonworks, Danny phased in and landed in front of the portal, unaware of the set-up tent with a strange glowing object before inserting the thermos into a panel on the portal.
"End of the line, gruesome." The content of the Dash monster flushed into the portal and disappeared into the depths as Danny smiled at the portal and started to fly off before flying through something, gasping as he somehow was divided between Fenton and Phantom, both surprised before Phantom entered Danny, the sudden sever fixed in an instant just as a sneeze came out and a sickly Jack's voice called out.
"Who's that? Somebody out there?" Jack and Maddie emerged from the tent that Danny now took in as he asked.
"Am I interrupting something, that I hope I'm really not?" Maddie sniffed as she explained.
"Your father and I are purifying ourselves of negative ghost energy." Danny raised a brow on 'negative' ghost energy and ponder what made 'positive' ghost energy as Jack took over with a sneeze.
"We're trying to richly expel any viral ghosts in our systems with the Fenton Ghost Catcher." Danny looked to the Indian style dream catcher that sat there in a stand behind him as the explanation continued. "It's like an Indian dream catcher, except it expunges ghosts and not dreams, you see."
"You might just have a cold, you know. It doesn't have to be a ghost cold at all." Both parents looked at each other before glaring at Danny and Jack spoke as they headed for the steps.
"I remember when I was that naive." He paused as Danny smiled before Jack walked back over and answered. "It may be a cold, Dann-o, but I don't know if the Ghost Catcher does work, the tent is an old method for sickness."
"Okay, then maybe this could help..." Danny breathed as he walked back over and, with hesitation, stuck his hand through, Jack watched with widened eyes as Danny's arm suddenly split off a black-suited arm with white glove before he pulled it back with a tingling feeling through his body. "Whoa! This one actually works - a little too well. I'm filing this under 'Must Avoid'." He turned and smiled as Jack smiled as well.
"My boy's a good man and help, I guess that 'Halfa' thing is true, eh?" Danny nodded as he followed Jack out of the lab.
"You don't know the full half of it, Dad." Tucker smiled on the familial bond that Jack had developed with Danny, now that he is slowly learning that Danny was actually turning out well as he focused on the next part.
'Even during trying times, one has to remember a fallen comrade.' Even on video-chat, Sam was looking terrible as the entry continued. 'Poor Sam was so sick, and all cooped up in her house. That's the worst.' This was apparent as Sam spoke up, having sneezed enough to knock the ice pack she had on her head right off.
"Ugh! I feel like I'm going to die. I hate being sick!" She sneezed again as Danny spoke on his phone.
"Hang in there, Sam. Tucker and I are gonna come visit you when we're done at the mall. You want us to bring you anything?" Sam sneezed again as she assure them.
"No, no, please. Don't bother. My folks are taking pretty good care of me." If it meant being aided by three nurses, one doctor, and her grandmother Ida who was holding soup before Sam yelped. "Guys, it's just a cold!" That was not really the case as a nurse entered with a defibrillator and called out.
"Clear!" She was shocked before the call cut and Danny put his phone away with the two of them at the theater.
"She's gotta be sick if she's missing Dead Teacher IV." Tucker answered as Danny phased through a trashcan, no one noticing as Cedric hadn't reappear yet.
"This time it's personal." The pair kept walking as two girls awed over a Sayonara Pussycat standee.
"Oh my gosh! I can't wait for the Sayonara Pussycat movie. I want to see it so bad!"
"Oh my gosh, I know. Isn't she so cute?" The two headed off as Paulina came over to admired the same thing as she gushed over it as well.
"Sayonara Pussycat is so cute! Why can't I be that popular?" Sadly, that somehow invoked a wandering spirit as she called out, her voice a bit changed as she inquired, to the surrounding people's surprise. "Hey, everybody! What do you think of me?" Their shock was to the chibi-like anime form of Paulina floating in the air before they all called in.
"We love you! We love you! We love you, Paulina!" The now-chibi popular started to run on the floor as she called out.
"Look at me! I'm so cute and cuddly and ever-so-wonderful! Don't you think?"
"We agree! We love you, Paulina!" Danny and Tucker were very confused as they watched the abnormal event happen before Danny found his voice.
"Paulina?" A PA speaker blurred alive as Danny was still really confused.
"Attention, moviegoers. Googloplex Cinemas has officially declared it 'Happy Fabulous Paulina Day'." Paulina spoke once more as she cheered with a halt and face to the crowd.
"I don't know what to say. Why squander my popularity here? I'm so adorable, I bet I could become Super Fairy Queen..." Her sudden quadruple in size with her cheer was scary. "...of All Teenagerdom! Isn't that luscious?" The crowd cheered as Danny turned to Tucker for help.
"Tucker, I-" Tucker was ahead with a monotone voice and Thermos in hand.
"Do what you gotta do." He headed off with a murmur. "I'll get seats." Danny nodded as he went ghost and grabbed the large Paulina chibi, taking her away from the crowd as Tucker grumbled with the lack of awesome power that Danny had and the fact that he failed to get the tickets for the big movie, now watching some girlish movie. "Man, I cover for Danny, my movie gets sold out, and I gotta watch this now. I'm tired of being left out all the time. Man, I wish I had ghost powers, too." As fortune had it, he was going to get his wish as the strange ghost appeared behind him, he gasping as she spoke, waving her hand in the air with green mist forming.
"Your heart's desire is my command." The mist enveloped him before she made her leave. The mist disappeared as Tucker looked around to the empty theater before he suddenly turned intangible and slipped under with a scream, emerging from out of the seat with glowing teal eyes and realizing what was happening.
"Sweet!" Meanwhile, Danny phased Paulina out and set her down before she started.
"Hi, I'm Paulina. I'm adorable and swell and full of big-headed anime goodness." Danny didn't accept it as he charged a ecto-blast.
"Bye-bye, kitty." He blasted into Paulina and expelled a anime ghost cat behind her as it spoke.
"Hi! Isn't everything in the world sweet and wonderful and-" She spun before she meowed as Danny sucked it up into the thermos and reverted Paulina back to normal as she held her head while Danny commented.
"Cool. It worked! I can't wait to tell Tucker." He phased through the ceiling before Paulina mused in confusion.
"Wh-where am I? And why do I feel that I'm special and adorable?" She paused before she cheered. "Because I am!" She walked off with confidence while Danny turned back to human and entered the theater before he paused, taking in the crowd for the movie, but no sign of a red-capped friend as he questioned.
"Huh, no Tuck. Eh, he must've taken off." Danny walked off as Dead Teacher IV started to play, but what he didn't realize, Tucker typed in his PDA as he reflected, his story telling how he was actually high above the crowd and was interested in doing mischief.
'Oh, sure, that's what he probably thought.' He turned invisible and trolled the whole crowd in a line; from eating popcorn, sipping soda, putting a toupee elsewhere, and making a 'fake' match up, studying his effects. 'But why would he even suspect... that I was having the time of my fourteen-year-old life?' The match up failed with a punch and Tucker laughed as the next issue came up, involving a car as the owner just harped on the traffic.
"Oh, man. Bogus. Stupid car." He sighed before making a wishful thought. "I wish you could just fly over stuff so I wouldn't have to sit here." That wish was going to be fulfilled, however, as a green mist came through the car vents and the voice echoed.
"So you wish it, so shall it be."
"What the heck? Hey, this isn't my station!" He said as he fumbled with the radio dial before the wheels on the car rolled to flat on the blacktop before launching the car into the air, zooming about as the man screamed in horror as Danny came out and his sense went off before he saw Desiree and shouted as she flew off.
"Jeez, lady, don't you ever take a break?"
"Danny!" He turned and Cedric arrived, his armor receding and he huffed before he asked, no one noticing a thing. "Can you tell me where the ghost went, I've been chasing her down to figure out how to stop this whole madness before it gets worse." He hung his head and looked up before Danny pointed and Cedric thanked him. "Thanks, I better hurry before things get even weirder right about now." Cedric bolted off, Danny raising a brow in pondering about something to his fourth friend.
"As if it could..." He looked up and was surprised by the flying car as he exclaimed. "Flying car?" Danny quickly jumped behind the ticket booth and flew after the car as he called out to the panicking driver. "Hey, slow down, Jeff Gordon! You're going over the speed limit." He paused with a look to the side before continuing. "And the height limit." The driver just screamed as the car zoomed off, Danny deadpanning before Tucker soared under him and called out.
"Don't sweat this one, Danny. I'm on it." Tucker zoomed off before Danny, taking a moment, realized that Tucker was flying and shouted in surprise.
"Tucker?!" Danny flew after the pair and caught up as Tucker seated himself in the car as he spoke up.
"Chill, dude. Tucker Phantom's on the case." Danny phased his head through to hear the part as he commented.
"Tucker Phantom?" Phasing fully in, he continued to speak as he took a seat in the vehicle. "Okay, ignoring the total originality of that, how the heck did you get ghost powers anyway?"
"Who knows? And more importantly, who cares? And now, if you'll excuse me, I have some heroic exploits to attend to." Tucker answered as he gripped the steering wheel before Danny lashed out and took the steering wheel as well.
"Tucker, we're too young to drive!" The driver screamed as the two feuded over control of the car. "Let go of the wheel! This is serious!" Danny got knocked into the backseat before Tucker and the driver screamed as the car hurtled toward a building. Danny focused as he touched the seat, turning the car intangible and letting the vehicle soar through the building before they popped out the other side before Tucker popped his head out before he groaned in spite.
"Oh, sure. Phase the car through the building. You had to save the day, didn't you?"
"Uh, yeah, because a car smashing into the twenty-eighth floor of anything is bad! Please, think about it, Tuck!" Tucker reply while gesturing to himself.
"You're just jealous because there's somebody else around to grab the spotlight now."
"Yo, hallucinations! Focus!" The driver screamed, but Tucker and Danny were having a spat fest.
"When have I ever grabbed the spotlight?"
"How about right now, for instance?" Danny looked concerned at that and Tucker gained a frown as he spoke. "Oh, I'm sorry, it's just... You always show off somehow and I just wanted..." The driver screamed as both looked forward and gasped as they slammed into a grain silo, stopping the car and burying the trio before the driver emerged with a chicken on his head and commented in glee.
"Chyeah! There's a chicken on my head!" Danny phased out as Tucker followed.
"Tucker, please. This is stupid." Tucker frowned as Danny continued. "You're my best friend. I'm not jealous, I'm just concerned."
"Well, don't be. This town's big enough for more than one ghost kid." Tucker flew up as Danny called out.
"But, Tuck, wait!" Tucker glared at Danny before he turned and blasted off, clearly leaving behind a sonic boom. "Whoa! I can't fly that fast. Is he getting more powerful?" Tucker, doing the entry, grimaced as he realized that he was getting stronger and was getting more... hostile as he parked on in a butcher shop, head poking out from one of the platters that was empty as he was video-chatting Sam on his PDA, her sneeze first before she spoke.
"So, why didn't you guys see a movie today?"
"Uh, we got a little distracted." Sam didn't notice that Tucker was calling from what looked to be a surrounding dish of food in various meats as she blew her nose to Tucker's continued explanation. "I'm just goofing off by myself now." A man walked on by before yelping in surprise and dashing off to Tucker's ghostly antics before Sam asked while Tucker scared a dog off.
"What happened? Danny have ghost trouble?"
"You might say that. So, how are ya?"
"Ugh, it's horrible, Tucker." She sneezed into the tissue and continued to explain. "But somehow, I'll muddle through." Sam closed the laptop as Tucker narrated his adventures once more.
'I didn't want to tell Sam about my new ghost powers yet.' She picked up a remote and held it up to something. 'What if she got as jealous as Danny did?' Tucker paused as he heard that Sam, while sick, had actually had a set of speakers pop up at the foot of her bed before getting loud music that nearly blasting her and the bed away as Tucker instead turned to what forced the friends' bond to be strained. 'And speaking of Danny...' It went down at Casper when Tucker blasted Mr. Lancer with water, surprising him as he exclaimed.
"Moby Dick!" His belt undid itself and fell to the floor, Lancer unable to get it back when the fountain blasted him again with the tie undoing itself. "Gulliver's Travels! I'm losing my mind!" His pants dropped as he finished the sentence. "And my pants!" Students laughed at him as he glared at them while Tucker phased out of the nearby wall at a corner and laughed as Danny returned, sniffing as he mumbled.
"Nice trick. Do you do kids' parties?" Tucker turned as he commented.
"Dude, relax. I'm just having fun." He stopped when he noticed how Danny was looking with widened eyes. "You okay?"
"I may be catching Sam's cold, but that's not important right now. Tucker, look." Tucker cut Danny off as he just answered for the kicks of it.
"No need. You can keep that superhero jazz to yourself. I'm in this for the kicks."
"I was afraid of that." Danny sighed as he put a hand on Tucker's shoulder as he answered. "I hate to do this, pal, but I need to see what's going on inside of you, and there's only one way to do that." Danny did just that as he went intangible and overshadowed Tucker, trying to get to the root of the problem, but Tucker's sudden resistance took Danny by surprise as Tucker blasted Danny out of his chest into a 'Personnel Only' door before Danny turned back to normal and Tucker growled as he opened the door and glared at the toppled Fenton.
"Don't ever do that again. Get it?"
"Got it."
"Good." Tucker, making the entry, frown as he narrated again, looking up for a moment to realize that Danny was indeed meaning well, but with the sudden ghost powers and the hostile tone that Tucker had gained, he lashed out the same as he answered it.
'Okay, maybe I was a little rough on Danny. But nobody likes a party pooper. And man, was I having a party.' He pulled that off with trolling the students with a floating tray and grabbing food, pouring soda into a tuba and watching the poor kid gush the sugary beverage before moving to his ultimate trick right then.
"Hmm, there's one little ghost trick I haven't tried yet: the ghost-imposed hookup." Paulina was coming down the way and Danny was coming by when his sense went off and he spotted the troublemaker with a simple answer.
"Oh no." Tucker took the chance as he overshadowed Paulina with glowing teal before Danny could approach her and stopped walking as she placed a hand on the hip and spoke to Danny in Tucker's voice.
"I just wanted to let you know, I'm gonna start dating Tucker Foley." The possessed person pointed at Danny as she continued. "He's much cooler than you are, so stop chasing me."
"Tucker, get out of there. Also, is it empty?"
"Why don't you make me?" Tucker answer with the shake of the head as Danny face-palmed and continued.
"Fine! I will!" Danny yelled as he joined Tucker in Paulina's possessed body, slightly feeling sorry for her as she has been possessed a few times already, but that didn't stop him as her body glowed green before green eyes flashed out as Danny took control and demanded of Tucker. "Tucker, you're turning the whole school upside-down. How 'bout giving it a break?" Tucker took over with the change to teal as he countered and pointed at nothing.
"How about getting off my back and letting me have a little fun?" Their banter continued, though Danny did notice another voice screeching.
'Oh dio mio, que esta pasando!?'
"Because your fun is kind of mean." Danny answered with green eyes and gestured with a thumb over the shoulder. "Now get out of Paulina!" Tucker took over with teal.
"I was here first. You go."
'Por que hay voces que me controlan?'
Danny pushed the issue while there is a notion that Paulina could be trying to figure out why there were two voices controlling her. "No, you!"
"You!" Tucker yelped back as he let slip where he believed the power came from as he gestured to himself in Paulina's body. "Babazita's genie gave me these powers, and I'll use them how I want." Danny phased out and floated in the air as he spoke to only Tucker's eyes.
"Then maybe I need to have a chat with this Babazita." He flew off to get Cedric to help him in addressing the issue as Tucker called out.
"Fine! But you and I..." He even cupped a hand to Paulina's mouth to make it apparent. "...Aren't friends anymore, Danny Fenton!" Paulina glowed green before Tucker left her body and leaving her to shout at nothing at all as Tucker narrated once more as he shared the story of what Danny and Cedric found.
'It was our first argument, and we were having it over a girl. Well, in one, actually. But, you get the point.' Cedric and Danny checked in with Babazita at the swap meet and she explained the story behind the spirit that once inhabited the bottle smashed. 'That was my mistake, reminding Danny where the ghost came from.' Tucker nodded as he got a second-hand experience from Danny and Cedric on what they discovered after the whole mess, surprised that it actually started out as not a spirit, but as human. 'Apparently, Desiree was a harem girl who had been promised her heart's desire: her own kingdom, only to be banished by the sultan's jealous wife.' That was not the end of the story as Desiree did die of broken heart and old age, but that is where the next part played, the ghost half. 'After that, her spirit roamed, granting people's deepest desires, but at a great personal cost.' It faded back to Babazita who shrugged about the whole thing as Tucker finished with the small entry. 'Hey, who knew?' Tucker continued the entry as Danny and Cedric, now understanding the basic gust of the ghost, took to a fountain in the park as Danny sniffled a bit.
"If you're trying to snag a wishing ghost, what better place than a wishing well?" Danny rifled through his pocket before pulling out a quarter, flipping it into the water, but nothing happened as he huffed. "Dang it." He sneezed as Cedric hummed before he spoke, pulling out his own quarter.
"It was because you didn't make a actual wish, you just hoped it would work." He breathed before he flipped the coin, it soaring high before coming back down, in the split second of it passing his face, Cedric made the wish. "I wish to meet the soul trapped in wishes on exchange of her hope and trust." With a plop, the coin vanished under the water, but it had the effect as a green mist surged and swirled about Cedric as the voice called out with its siren sound.
"So it is desired, so shall it be." Danny stood ready, but knew that Cedric had it covered as the mist started to form and complete into the harem-adorned ghost known as Desiree as her single uncovered eye of red opened and peered upon Cedric. "You called me here, you who has chased me for answers and strength, why do you seek to address me now?"
"Because I need to know the answer to Tucker's newfound ghost powers, can you remove them from him?"
"I cannot." Desiree answered as she explained why and the reason. "By noon tomorrow, your friend's fate will be sealed." She laughed with an evil tone and pressed on. "His jealousy will transform him forever into the most powerful ghost boy in the world!" She laughed once more as Danny exclaimed.
"Tuck? He's not that jealous. Is he?"
"More than you know. Tomorrow his jealousy and frustration will cement into rage and rebellion. He will be complete." Before Desiree could fly off, Cedric spoke once more.
"Desiree, I wish you would stay and speak with me before entering this Thermos, only coming out by my own hand." Cedric spoke as he continued with Thermos in hand. "With this request in wish, I inquire you answer to Danny the way that can save Tucker from his timely change." She gasped as she called out.
"What?" She seemed to struggle as she bellowed. "Nooo! I must obey." With that, she flopped onto the stone of the fountain as she grimaced to her new place. "You dare to bind me, what is your intention, to handle me!?" She hissed as she continued. "No man may lay a hand on me unless I wish it!"
"Then through this wish, do not let a single man other than me give you the care that you desperately need for the longest time." Cedric answered as his wish worked to Desiree's surprise. "Let this wish between you and I be a vow to preserve the other through thick and thin until I make the final wish tomorrow to not only free you, but also give you a new life to bear to the next." She seemed to screech in mute sound before Cedric turned. "Get going, Tucker is not going to be okay by the end."
"But how?" Desiree had the answer as she glanced up.
"Take the boy and split him in half, by the essence caught in ancient dreams." Danny paused before he gasped.
"The Ghost Catcher!" Desiree grudgingly nodded as Danny mused. "Now to find Tuck." He flew off to find Tucker, but the boy was difficult to find before the following day as he mused to the coming noon with a grimace. "Quarter to noon, and no sign of Tucker." His ghost sense went off and he stopped before taking in the room that he stopped at. "Should've guessed." It read 'School Records' as he phase through the door and found Tucker exactly there, changing his grades to 'A' as he exclaimed. "Tucker, you're changing your grades?! That's cheating!" Tucker commented with the turn of the seat.
"I like to think of it as 'academic enrichment'. Want me to do yours?"
"No way. Tucker, you're in real danger." He reached out, but Tucker leaned back and growled as his body changed in turn, green skin with glowing reds, fangs, and claws as Danny spoke up with held up hands. "Take it easy. We're friends, remember?"
Tucker growled as he gestured to himself on the new law that he put down. "We're only friends on your terms. But now I make the rules around here. And my first rule is, 'No more Danny Phantom'." He took in a breath before blasting Danny with it, launching him into the science room and destroying the blackboard as Danny commented to the increased strength.
"He's getting more malevolent. More ghost-like." He pleaded for Tucker to see reason as the changed boy entered. "Tuck, please! You have to listen to me. There isn't much time!"
"You got that right." Tucker yelled as he charged several ecto-blasts. "Your time is up." He blasted as Danny soared above before flipping the cap off, Tucker getting angry when he couldn't hit Danny with a punch and missed him completely as Phantom rushed behind a counter and avoided more ecto-blasts. He stopping to pick up his hat before turning intangible to the hurled skeleton before he shouted. "Ha! Is that the best you can do?" Danny ducked back down in avoidance of more ecto-blasts as he mused for anything to give him a chance in the short time.
"Unfortunately, yes. I can't get through to him!" He paused at an idea and smiled as it would be so Tucker. "But I know what can." He jumped out and insulted Tucker. "Catch me if you can, Sucker Phantom!" He grinned with a wave as he phased through the floors to Tucker's angered exclaim.
"That's Tucker Phantom! Tucker!" Going through the floor, Danny lead Tucker into the girl's locker room, stalling him for a moment before Danny blinded him with a bra and slam dunked him into the gym's basketball hoop before checking the time.
"Only five minutes left." He called out to egg Tucker even further. "Ha! You got no game!" Tucker glared and stood up before turning into a more monstrous, taller form of the ghostly Tucker, Danny grimacing, but he still played against Tucker as he lead the beast out of the school and outside as Tucker followed before Danny vanished and he came to a halt as he shouted.
"Where are you? Where?!" The ghost sense went off and he turned to Danny behind him, looking all-knowing as he spoke.
"What's the matter? Can't catch what you can't see?" Tucker lunged for empty air as Danny disappeared before Danny continued his flight, straight to Fenton Works as he grimaced to the loss of his pursuer.
"Where is he? He has to have followed me." He glanced behind him as he questioned. "It's almost noon!" He stopped when Tucker appeared in front of him and he grimaced to the single word then the roar.
"Yo. What's the dizzle, fizzle?" He grabbed Danny and pushed him down through Fenton Works as Danny 'pleaded' to Tucker.
"No! Don't throw me into the Ghost Zone. Please!"
"I wasn't going to, but that is a great idea!" They phased right down to the lab, Tucker's back to the Ghost Catcher as the lab clock said that Danny had ten seconds left as he groaned.
"I'm only gonna have one shot at this." He charged his ecto-blasts for the survival of his best friend as both turned tangible, but he couldn't get out of the grip, or so he believed as he stopped and sneezed, Tucker releasing from the accident before he scolded a bit in disbelief.
"Hey, cover your mouth!" Danny, getting the chance, blasted Tucker backward, he slipping through the Ghost Catcher and splitting Tucker and his malevolent ghost in half as Tucker stirred and gasped to the beast that floated above him in pale blue. "Is... Is that me?" He pointed at as the monster roared at him, causing him to cower before the thing looked back to Danny sucking the ghost into the Thermos with a sniffle.
"No, it's not you, Tuck. Not anymore." Tucker got up and spoke to his best friend as the thermos was capped.
"Oh, man, Danny. I'm sorry. I-I couldn't control myself."
"Dude, don't worry about it." Danny sniffled as he continued to assure Tucker. "You were under the genie's spell, and you broke it."
"Yeah, but none of that would've happened if I wasn't jealous."
"Or if I had been a little less of a show-off around you." He extended his hand in thanks. "Friends?"
"The best." Tucker shook the hand before they let go and headed out as Jack and Maddie looked out to find nothing, shrugged to the other and headed back into the tent, no closer to 'purging' themselves from the 'viral ghost energy' they caught.
'...And that is how it all went down, I'll admit, it was fun having ghost powers, though I should have been more understanding about the dual-edged wish thing, turned out Desiree, after so many years of loneliness and her own joy traded away, she grew bitter and more spiteful for anyone not making a wish for her own benefit...' Tucker typed and finished with a smile before he frown and breathed before sneezing and grimacing. "Ugh, don't tell me..." As fortune had it, he got it, he got the same cold that Sam got...
'Tucker Foley, digital journal, Saturday. They say, 'Be careful what you wish for.' To that, I'd like to add a big, fat 'Duh'!' Tucker typed a new entry as he was looking terrible, pillow behind his head with thermometer in his mouth as he typed in on his PDA with a stylus.
'Especially when it comes to best friends.' As it turned out, when Danny had sneezed into Tucker's face, he infected him with the same cold and now the both of them were sick, Danny sitting beside him with a ice pack atop his own head and wrapped up like Tucker in the Foley household before Tucker smiled to Danny for being a good friend.
''Cause I couldn't wish for a better one.' Both sneezed at the same time as Sam walked in, with two bowls of hot soup on a tray as she exclaimed.
"Jeez, do you guys have to share everything?" Danny smiled as he remarked.
"You don't know the half of it." Both smiled to the other as they were treated, Cedric shaking his head and advising for them to just rest while a lovely young woman had joined him by his side, her flowing, long black falling to her back with one eye covered, a sapphire blue eye gazing at them as she and him had medical masks on and tended to the pair of sick boys...
