The next part! Quick update, no?
To stop the lawyers from coming after me, here's the standard disclaimer, which I forgot about for the last chapters: I do not own Danny Phantom, Little Shop of Horrors, or any of the songs used in the last chapter. If I did own all that, I'd be a lot richer.
Skid RowDowntown, when you buy your token, you go home to Skid Row…
There was a large crowd gathered around a pair of glass doors. On one of the doors was a list, stating the characters in Little Shop of Horrors and who would be playing them. Of course, with it being such a large crowd, not many people could get to see the list, which was the dilemma of Danny, Sam, and Tucker. They could not work their way through the crowd, and Danny didn't dare to go ghost, with so many people around.
So, standing at the back of the mass of people, an idea struck Sam. She walked away from everyone to a side entrance into the building. She soon found herself on the other side of the doors, where she could see the list perfectly-except, it was backwards. To solve this, she pulled a small little mirror from her pocket and held it up to the door. She could then read the list without a problem.
At the top of the page, it listed the main parts:
'Danny Fenton-Seymour Krelbourn
Sam Manson-Audrey'
Sam smiled. 'Yes!' she screamed in her mind, a bit overwhelmed by happiness. 'I got the part! And Danny's Seymour-that's nice…really nice…' She read on, but was surprised at one of the other characters:
'Dash Baxter-Orin Scrivello'
'Makes sense in a way,' she thought, 'Dash is somewhat sadistic, like Orin.' But she was slightly disgusted, as she knew that Audrey and Orin were supposed to be a couple for part of the show. And she didn't really care to think about that. She continued down the list, trying to see if Tucker had made it into the show, though she had strong doubts. But his name was there:
'Tucker Foley-Skid Row Bum No. 3'
She couldn't help but laugh a bit.
Danny and Tucker, while Sam was going over the list, had made their way to the front of the crowd. They were slightly surprised to see her already inside, but she simply tapped the glass to remind them to look at the list, then walked away, to receive her script. The boys glanced at the paper, then walked inside, both happy that they simply got into the show-they had no clue if their parts were big or small.
Inside the auditorium, there weren't that many people. In fact, in all, there were about 15, not including the director. Mr. Kender stood on the stage, a pile of books beside him and a stack of paper in his hand. "All right, cast," he said. "Line up, get your scripts and schedules. And the two playing Audrey and Seymour-come see me, please."
As soon as Danny and Sam received a book, with the script and sheet music for the play, and a schedule, they walked onto the stage, where Mr. Kender stood. Once they were both there, the director led them towards the back of the stage. He lowered his voice so that the rest of the cast couldn't hear, and said, "I don't know if you've seen the show before, so you may not know this, but Audrey and Seymour share a kiss at one point in the play. If you're uncomfortable with this, I will give the part to somebody else-but you won't be in the show at all."
Danny and Sam glanced at each other, a bit nervous. Secretly, they had no problem with it-but they still weren't sure about it. So they stayed silent. They were quiet for what seemed like an eternity before Sam spoke. "I don't really have a problem with that…it is just acting…" Danny nodded in agreement. "I'm fine with it." "Good. That's all I needed to talk to you about."
The two teens left the stage, not speaking to each other. There was an awkward tension between them, and so they just said nothing. They left the auditorium and went their separate ways, Sam back to her house and Danny to his. (Tucker had already gone home.) But when Danny arrived at his house, he was met with some shocking news.
"We're moving?!" His mother nodded, packing some dishes into a box. "Ghost hunting just isn't paying well enough now, so we can't afford this house any more. We're not going far, you'll still be able to go to the same school and see your friends." Danny calmed down a slight bit, but was still shocked. "When are we moving?" he asked. "By the end of this week, hopefully. We're going to get some stuff over to the new house tonight, so start packing." Danny sighed, then headed up the stairs to his room.
In his room, there were already a few empty boxes. Danny picked stuff up from the floor and threw it into the boxes, not caring about order, or even if he wanted the objects anymore. Everything went in, from clothes to candy wrappers. Pretty soon, the floor was almost bare, and the boxes full. He picked up one of the boxes and began to haul it out of his room. He brought it down the stairs to a pile of other boxes, stacked next to the front door. Then he went back upstairs and brought the rest of the boxes down.
As he pulled the last box down the stairs, a wisp of blue smoke came from his mouth. He glanced around, and seeing nobody, transformed to Danny Phantom. Suddenly, the pile of boxes began shaking, and a figure flew up from them. "I AM THE BOX GHOST!" Danny just rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Opening the box he had been carrying, Danny pulled out the Fenton Thermos and sucked the ghost inside. He then replaced the thermos and transformed back to normal.
Soon, Maddie entered the room. "Are you ready to go?" she asked her son. He nodded, and she called, "Jack, Jazz! Come on!" The rest of the Fenton clan entered, each carrying a large box. They packed the boxes into the Fenton Family Ghost Assault Vehicle-also known as their RV- and drove away from the house.
They didn't drive for long, only for about a half hour. They arrived at a more broken-down part of Amity Park, where everywhere you looked there was graffiti, broken glass, or trash. They went to a house that seemed to be falling apart. As soon as the car stopped, Jack got out and began moving boxes from the RV into the house. Everyone else followed his example.
Soon, all the boxes were in the house. "We'll bring the rest of our stuff tomorrow," Maddie said as the family climbed back into their vehicle. As they drove away, Danny looked back at the house through the car window. Next to the door, there was a small flytrap-like plant. And somehow, it seemed to be smiling.
Yay reviewers, the reason I continue this!
Caine B: No, the plant will not be singing that, as I'm using songs from the play, not the movie. Even though the movie is good.
Fluffyrachel: Heh, I've got the next chapter already written. I'll get it up within a few days.
Axion-Pup: Actually, I'm still a bit afraid of flytraps. THEY'RE EVIIIILLLLL.
JadeRabbyt: I'm not going to tell you whether Dash dies or not, because that will give too much away. But I did put him as Orin for a reason.
