Danny and Kurai were on there way to Circus Gothica when Danny's Ghost Sense went off and he turned to see the dwarf ghost running with a heavy bag.
He looked up to see the rest of the ghosts, also carrying bags. "I'm goin' ghost!"
Danny leapt onto trashcan, then a truck, then into the air, went ghost, and chased after the ghosts as the cops caught up to them.
"Opening a new bank account? Don't forget your free toaster!" Danny fired ecto blast which knocked the money sack out of the dwarf's hands.
The sack landed on a cruiser, causing it to swerve into a fire hydrant.
"Curse you, ghost kid!" Cop said.
"Oh great, more fans." Danny said.
Danny chases the ghosts across town with Kurai in hot pursuit. They phased through a Circus Gothica billboard and Danny was temporarily hypnotized by Freakshow's orb.
Danny shook his head and phased through to find himself at the opening ceremony, where Circus Gothica's equipment and tents were already finished being set up.
Many goths were swarming the place.
"Terrific. The crooks got away, and, I've never seen so many goths out in broad daylight." Danny said.
"That and we're skipping school to case the joint." Kurai grinned.
"Are you a delinquent?" Danny asked.
Kurai winked. "Are you sure you're not a troubled teen?"
Goths opened up black umbrellas.
Danny landed. "What? I'm not in trouble."
Sirens were heard approaching.
"Oh yeah, you're an upstanding citizen. Need to hide from the law?" Kurai laughed.
Danny went invisible. "No."
Danny jumped behind a bunch of iron drums and de-ghosts. He and Kurai whistled nonchalantly as cops went by.
"Come back here, Inviso-Bill!" Cop said.
One train car opened with a drop-down ramp and Freakshow slowly stepped out of the shadows.
"Greetings, fellow outcasts. I am Freakshow, your master of ceremonies. Are you ready to smile, relax, and forget all your troubles amid the pleasant diversions of the circus?" Freakshow said.
"NO!" Goths said.
Freakshow walked amid the crowd. "Then you've come to the right place! Prepare to be disturbed and appalled by a small sample of the bizarre and abnormal world of Circus Gothica." Freakshow gestured back to the train car.
An arrow tied to a rope launches across from the car and embedded in a pole. A woman emerged, crawling on the rope much like an insect, the goths gasped. A man balancing on a ball and juggling skulls rolled out, a heavily-pierced woman within an iron, spiked wheel followed, and an incredibly tall man in a skeleton suit emerged last. The goths cheered and Danny found his gaze landing on Freakshow's staff and became mesmerized again.
"This is the worst." Kurai said. "Nothing could make this worse!"
Lancer entered the area. "This Circus is not welcome in our town! Boycott Circus Gothica!"
A large protest crowd gathered behind the teacher.
The goths booed at the protesters.
"What is he doing here?" Kurai said.
Freakshow leapt upon a crate above the crowd. "Don't let the rantings of the closed-minded norms beat you down. Show them your true colors! And when I say "colors", I mean "all black". Make them see you for who you are."
"Make them see us for who we are..." Danny's eyes turned red. "Hey everyone!" Danny waved arms. "Over here! We're Danny Fenton and Kurai Hikawa! We cut school and we're proud of it!"
The goth teens cheered as Danny posed proudly.
Goth Boy sprayed Danny's shirt black. "You're one of us, now."
"Why aren't you two in school?" Lancer said.
Kurai held her head in her hands.
