When Worlds Collide

DISCLAIMER: I own neither Danny Phantom and associated characters, nor Darkwing Duck and associated characters.

"Wow," said Danny, "another universe where I'm a thief." "Well," Jazz said, "at least in this one you have just cause. You steal for food to survive, not fun." Danny, Jazz, Darkwing, and Tucker stood on top of a building. "This universe looks a lot like Arabia," Tucker commented. "Come back here!" yelled this universe's Mr. Lancer, head of the Palace guards. This universe's Danny, known as Aladdan, ran, carrying a loaf of bread with a monkey with glasses and a red cap on his shoulder. "Tell me I'm not the monkey," Tucker said, "PLEASE tell me I'm not a monkey." Aladdan stops, nearly slipping off the roof. "All this over a loaf of bread?" he jumps, slides down a clothesline and disguises himself with the fallen clothes. He walks over to a group of women. "Getting in trouble a little early today, Aladdan?" one says. "You're only in trouble if you get caught," he replies. Mr. Lancer grabs him and turns him around, and his disguise falls off. "NOW I'm in trouble!" he says. The monkey climbs on Lancer and pulls his turban over his eyes. "Great going, Tuckbu!" Aladdan said to the monkey. By then, Danny and the others had climbed down from the roof to get a closer look. "It appears that the me here doesn't have ghost powers," Danny said. "Or at least doesn't have them YET," Darkwing added. Aladdan bursts out in song as Lancer and the guards chase and randomly attack.

"Gotta keep...one jump ahead of the breadline

One swing ahead of the sword

I steal only what I can't afford

That's everything!

One jump ahead of the lawmen

That's all, and that's no joke

These guys don't appreciate I'm broke!"

Crowd: Riffraff! Street rat! Soundrel! Take that!

Aladdan: Just a little snack, guys

Crowd: Rip him open, take it back, guys

Aladdan: I can take a hint, gotta face the facts

You're my only friend, Tuckbu!

Crowd: Who?

Aladdan jumps through a window into a room full of girls.

Girls: Oh it's sad Aladdan's hit the bottom!

He's become a a one-man rise in crime

I'd blame parents except he hasn't got 'em

Aladdan: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat

Tell you all about it when I got the time!

One jump ahead of the slowpokes

One skip ahead of my doom

Next time gonna use a nom de plume

One jump ahead of the hitmen

One hit ahead of the flock

I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Crowd: Stop, thief! Vandal! Outrage! Scandal!

Aladdan: Let's not be too hasty

Lady: Still I think he's rather tasty

Aladdan: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat

Otherwise we'd get along

Crowd: Wrong!

Aladdan trailed by Lancer and the guards, runs up stair and is in a room with only one door and a window.

Aladdan: One jump ahead of the hoofbeats

(Vandal!)

One hop ahead of the hump

(Street rat!)

One trick ahead of disaster

(Scoundrel!)

They're quick, but I'm much faster

(Take that!)

Here goes, better throw my hand in

Wish me happy landin'

All I gotta do is jump!"

Aladdan jumps out the window, using a carpet he picked up as a parachute and guides himself to safety. Lancer and the guards, however, fall straight down into a pile of "fertilizer."

"Well, I'll give him one thing, he's clever!" Danny said, watching Aladdan from a distance.
