Chapter 4: The Roles
Tom grumbled in annoyance, "I hate when he asked me to cover for him."
"Just do it… we need to be in class for another fifteen minutes," said Danielle.
"Right… GO GHOST!" Tom then turned into his ghost-self.
"Alright, work for it lil' bro," said Danielle, then looked at Rick, Cedric and Liz, "Now, what to do with you three?"
Cedric simply took Matt from Tom, "Me and Rick will go straight to the time machine project, while Liz and later on Rose, will take care of the babysitting stuff."
"Alright, that's fine," sighed Danielle, "But wouldn't it be suspicious to have three children, don't count Rose since she's a ghost and can simply hide herself."
"Dan, don't underestimate us," smirked Rick, "Before we come here, we remember to bring this." He then shows her three silver bracelets.
Danielle raised her eyebrow, "You bring yourself accessories?"
"Dan, I know you're not into technologies and stuff, but you must be crazy not to know this," protest Cedric.
"It's called Image-Yourself, we bought the latest model in the nearest electronic store," explained Rick, "This is some kind of a projector that can gave fake illusion to our body, so we can change our clothes, height, size and age of our looks whatever we want."
Danielle gave a smile of amusement, "Interesting, well then I'll leave you all with our house and lil' brother."
"Leave it to us!" cheered Liz.
"Hey sis," said Tom.
As Danielle, Rick, Cedric and Liz looked at Tom, they blinked in awe. Right now, human Samuel was standing next to ghost Tom.
"Okay, I create a clone, and I turn the clone to my dear twin by using my camouflage ghost power. So what do you think?" asked Tom.
"Perfect," smirked Danielle, "No one can se the difference."
"Awesome," said both Tom and Clone-Tom together, "Sam owe me big time!"
"Isn't he always?" chuckled Liz.
"Alright, we'll be going then," smiled Rick, then from his shoes from a jet, "Meet you back at home."
"Maybe we'll do a bit redecorating to your fake house in this timeline," grinned Cedric, his shoes too form a jet, "Don't worry we won't overdo it."
"See you two back at home," giggled Liz as Rick picked her up and carried her, then the three of them flew off.
Danielle, Tom and Clone-Tom watched the three of them go, Tom sighed, "I hope Liz will be okay…"
Danielle just gave Tom a stare.
"What?" Tom looked at Danielle in annoyance, "Is it that bad to be worried of someone?"
"No," shrugged Danielle, "Lets just get back to the class, I'm worried of mom and dad."
"And Sam better be back in another thirty minutes, I can't really hold having my clone using my ghost power of camouflage when I'm in my human form," Tom then turned back to his human form.
"Lets just go," sighed Danielle.
Danny groaned as he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was white ceiling. He then noticed one thing. He was lying on a comfy bed.
"Am I… in a nurse office?" murmured Danny tiredly.
"Yeah, you are."
Snapping to his side, where the voice came from, he then saw Sam lying on the bed next to his, "Sam, wha… what happen?"
"To tell the truth, everything was just a blur right after you tried to suck the baby ghost into the thermos," said Sam, she then looked at the injuries around her, "But we're not that injured knowing that the three of us were lying in the middle of fallen rubles of hard bricks."
"That's weird," commented Danny.
"Oh believe me Danny, living in your life, with the ghost and extreme bizarreness, this not exactly the weirdest thing that happen to our life," commented Sam dryly.
"You got a point," smirked Danny, "but I wonder, who is that ghost? And what did he do to knock us out like that? Maybe its some kind of ghost wail or something?"
Sam snorted, "Yeah right, like that ever happen. A ghost that can do that can easily destroy the whole Amityville. Even if he's a baby."
Danny winced at that thought, "That's one scary thought."
Suddenly another voice from another bed came out, "Where am I?"
Danny chuckled, "Don't open your eyes Tucker."
"What? Why?" asked Tucker in confusion.
"We are in a modeling agency, NOT in the nurse office. So you better close your eyes and sleep peacefully on the comfy couch in the modeling agency, until we finally get you out of here knowing you're sleeping in the modeling agency, NOT the nurse office," smirked Sam.
Tucker stiffed without opening his eyes, knowing exactly what she means, "Alright… Got it! I'm going to close my eyes and sleep on a really nice couch in the modeling agency, cause I NEVER and will ever sleep on a creepy and smelly bed in the nurse office."
"You're doing fine Tuck," snickered Danny.
Sam sighed, "Well, that's what I mean. We have a friend that prefers to stay in the ghost zone rather than any medical places. How weird can your life be Danny?"
"I will pretend I did not hear a word 'medical' in any of your previous sentence!" cried Tucker.
Danny gave a smile, "Yeah… nothing can be more weird than this life I've experienced."
All of the students of Casper High were now assembled in the auditorium, all of them, including Danielle, Tom and Tom's Clone.
"Students, the things that happen just a few minutes ago had disturbed us all," announced Mr. Lancer, "But not to worry, cause the three students who are in the scene was not that injured and I ensure you that they'll be fine by tomorrow without further worries."
"Thank goodness," sighed Jazz in relief.
Danielle and Tom too secretly gave out a big sigh in relief, since they rather not show it, in order to avoid any awkward question that need to be answered.
"And as you all may know, I've been having such a good mood today, and I believe you all are curious to know why," grinned Mr. Lancer.
Danielle looked at Jazz, "Well, he did not giving me and my brothers any detention, he sure is in a really good mood."
"You just met him today, what makes you say think he'll give you detention in regular day?" asked Jazz.
"I uh…" grinned Danielle nervously, "A really good judge of character, that's all."
"You there," cried Mr. Lancer at Danielle, "Yes Miss White, I'm talking to you, please remember, NO talking when I'm speaking!"
Danielle just simply glared at him.
Mr. Lancer ignored her glare and continued, "As I was saying. There's going to be a great event. Our school is going to join a Literature Fair in the end of semester, which happens to be in three more months. And in that Fair, we're going to give out a play. And if we win, our school will get promoted to be the best literature program in the whole Amityville. And most importantly, I'll get promoted the most."
The students murmured to one another in excitement and confusion.
"A play?" snickered Tom, "We're so entering an interesting day."
"Oh I've heard about this event a day ago," smiled Jazz, "I knew Mr. Lancer will make us participate the moment the news reach to his ear."
Danielle groaned, "Great…"
"You don't like to do this kind of things?" asked Jazz, "It's very interesting."
"Its not that I dislike it or something," mumbled Danielle, "I just found it… annoying… and troublesome…"
"Now, as for the title of the play…" continued Mr. Lancer, "So as the role of the play will be chosen with a draw. So from one bowl of papers, there will be a whole list of titles of play. And the other bowl is also filled with papers, but with the name of the whole student in Casper High. So there will be those who will get the main role and the rest will take care of the back stage, so all of you will participate no matter what."
"Ugh… what a bummer…" groaned Danielle.
"Now lets start with the title of our play," grinned Mr. Lancer, he then start taking a random note from the first bowl. Finally finding a piece of paper and decided to open it. Everyone were in silence and full of expectation on what he's about to read, "Ah, this is something we all know. Students, the play we're all going to give is 'Sleeping Beauty'."
WHAT? Danielle almost fell from her seat, You've got to be kidding. That is SO mushy!
"Aw, that'll be so romantic," cooed Jazz.
Tom and Clone-Tom just simply shrugged, he doesn't really care whatsoever about any play as long as he's not in any of the role.
All of the students were whispering in excitement and some of them were groaning and murmuring.
Mr. Lancer grinned, "Now, for Sleeping Beauty, there will be the main role for the King, Queen, three good fairies, evil witch, and of coarse, the Princess Aurora and the prince."
Everyone cheered happily and also in excitement.
"Now to pick the lucky name, first role, The King!" Mr. Lancer then started to get one of the papers from the other bowl, and read it, "DASH BAXTER!"
Most of the people roared, especially the football team and popular students.
"Oh yeah!" cheered Dash, "Just to add up, the role is so for me, cause I'm the king of the whole Casper High!" Then everyone cheered along with him.
"Yes, yes, that's nice Mr. Baxter, now will you all please be SILENCE!" Then everyone started to quite down. Mr. Lancer smiled, "Good, now for the role of The Queen…" Then he took another paper, "PAULINA!"
Now the cheerleaders were jumping and cheering hysterically, all the boys too started to whistle, clap and cheers. Paulina gave out an amused grin, "Well, from my beauty and popularity, I do not blame you people who would bow on my knee, cause I'm meant to be the queen. It's fate."
Tom snorted and whispered to Danielle, "If those two actually king and queen, that means Rick is prince charming. Would you like to be his beloved princess?"
"This is only a stupid play. And stop teasing me or you'll be full ghost before you can say 'Go Ghost'," hissed Danielle angrily.
"Geez, why so grouchy?" Tom pouted in annoyance.
"Now lets continue to the three good fairies," said Mr. Lancer, this time, he took three papers and opened it, "The three fairies will be… Star!" Everyone, mostly the popular students cheered, "Valerie Gray!" Everyone too cheered, but not as full in excitement as before, "And… Samantha Manson…" Now everyone sat in silenced.
"SAY WHAT?" roared the whole students in shocked.
Mom, is so gonna freak… groaned Danielle in her head, A Goth that turned into a fairy, how ironic.
"Sam is not gonna like that," said Jazz nervously.
Tom was snickering uncontrollably, if he was not in public, he could have been laughing hysterically. The irony was just too hilarious to ignore.
Valerie stared blankly at Mr. Lancer, "I don't mind being a fairy, but Manson? A fairy? That's just not right…"
"I second that girl," said Star with the same expression.
Mr. Lancer who was also gawking at Sam's name finally decide to snapped and clear his throat, "Now… moving on, let's see who'll become the evil witch," he then start taking one of the paper and begun to read, "And the evil witch is… WHAT? OLIVER TWIST! TUCKER FOLEY?"
Now everyone roared with laughter. Tucker Foley? An evil witch? As in acting as a woman? That's just SO wrong.
Tom and his clone were now choking in laughter on the floor. Danielle was covering her face with her hands, hiding the fact that she was grinning from ear to ear. Jazz gave out a simple chuckle, "Well, at least this will not be the first time he ever tried to dress up as a woman." She was then reminded of the time when Tucker tried to look like Sam, "Whoa… scary thought…"
Mr. Lancer sighed, "Well, seems like it doesn't matter, since he once tried to cross-dressed before," then a thought of Tucker in Sam's suit made him shudder, "Oh well, move on to the prince."
Everyone stopped their laughter and started to looked at Mr. Lancer with great expectation. The role of the prince was the most important role, in which most of the boys in the Casper High wanted that role and all the girls prayed that the role of the person who will be the prince will be a good looking guy.
Mr. Lancer took out one paper and looked at it, he raised his eyebrow at the name he read, but then smiled and informed, "Danny Fenton."
The whole students begun to clap, whispered towards each other and some of the boys' groaned cause they didn't get the role.
"Fentonio? A prince whoever thought of that?" snickered Dash.
"Aw, man… why can't I be the prince?" whined Kwan, then looked at Dash, "You think he'll give me the role if I threatened him?"
"Then you'll spend your whole semester in detention," informed Valerie, "You know how Mr. Lancer always take things seriously and fairly when it comes to this kind of thing?"
"Aw, man…" whined Kwan once again.
"And give him a break, he's injured in the nurse office right now," said Valerie, "And he should be a very charming prince, I'm sure of it." And she blushed thinking of Danny wearing a prince costume.
Star simply rolled her eyes, "I honestly can't find why you're so interested in that boy."
"Well, I don't really mind, he is a bit cute. But I really do wish it was Phantom. Now he'll be a great prince," sighed Paulina dreamily.
"Hey, I can do better than him," protested Dash.
"Oh really?" asked Paulina while rolling her eyes, "You can't even save me from any simple ghost attack."
"Off coarse I can, and don't you dare talk back to me again, I'm the king!" cried Dash.
"And I'm the queen, no one dare try to disobey me," glared Paulina.
Valerie sighed, "Guys… for the record, the king and queen status is just for the play. So stop bickering like an old married couple."
"We're not an old married couple!" protested both Dash and Paulina at Valerie.
"If I want to have a husband, it'll be with Phantom," huffed Paulina.
Dash glared at Pauline, "Well, if I have a wife then it'll be her," he then pointed at Danielle.
Paulina glared angrily at Dash, then at Danielle. Valerie and Star just sighed at them, while Kwan gave out a blank look.
"Just pretend I did not hear that," hissed Danielle, right after she listen to the argument made by Dash and Paulina.
"Dad and Mrs. Baxter together? Then Mr. Baxter decide to end up with my sis?" whispered Tom, then shuddered, "This is one twisted world. I wonder what Rick think about all this?"
Jazz raised her eyebrow at Dash and Paulina, "What's wrong with those two? They're bickering like some kind of old married couple."
They will… think both Tom and Danielle secretly.
"Well," sighed Jazz, "At least I'm so happy that Danny actually play a role of a prince in this play. Mom and dad will flip if I tell them about the news."
Danielle grinned, "He's not that bad as a prince, it could be worse."
"Yeah, it could be some kind of ugly dorky nerd," smirked Tom and Clone-Tom.
"Now, lets wove on with the role of the main character, Princess Aurora!" Informed Mr. Lancer, and right now all the girls begun to giggle and squealed in excitement, wishing it'll be one of them. While the boys prayed that the girls should be pretty, but not pretty enough since Danny will have the honor of kissing her in the play.
Mr. Lancer finally took one paper and read it, his face was pleased as he informed, "The role of Princess Aurora will be given to DANIELLE WHITE!"
