(31 years ago; Amity Park)
(The day before Skkye and Angela's tragic accident)
Danny: I know I'm risking fifteen lives now, but I can't take it anymore. It's what I have to do. (flies to FentonWorks)
Ah, back home. And there's me, Skkye and Angela, look how happy we are.
Present Danny: Skkye, I'm so happy that we finally gonna get married.
Skkye: Me too. Someday, we'll be telling our grandchildren how we met.
Present Danny: Yeah, I know. (kisses her) I love you, Skkye.
Skkye: I know you do.
(Future Danny starting crying to himself)
What was that?
Present Danny: I don't know. (gasps) I'll be right back. (runs away)
Skkye: But, honey. The... baby.
(In the air)
Present Danny: Who are you supposed to be?
Future Danny: I'm you! I'm from the future. Don't let Skkye leave your sight tomorrow.
Present Danny: Why? (Throws punch)
Future Danny: (ducks) If you don't something bad will happen to her and it'll haunt you for the rest of your life.
Present Danny: I don't believe you! (Flies away)
Danny: Great. Now my selfish younger self is loose and there's only one way to save Skkye.
(The next day)
(Danny and Skkye's apartment)
Present Danny: (putting on coat) Bye honey I'm leaving.
Skkye: Where are you going?
Present Danny: Work.
Skkye: Where?
Present Danny: At the DALV intercorps downtown.
Skkye: Okay, be home by six.
Present Danny: I'll try.
Skkye: What do you mean "you'll try"? Tonight's our anniversary.
Present Danny: Right.
Skkye: And I've got something special planned for you. (kisses his cheek)
Present Danny: Of course you do. You always do.
Skkye: (spazzy) Yeah, I know.
Present Danny: Well, I better go, bye honey. (kisses her) See you at seven at Café Le Fancy.
Skkye: You got reservations?! Oh my God, Danny, I love you.
Present Danny: I love you too. Bye. (leaves)
Skkye: Okay, Ang, let's go over to Aunt Jessie's house. Hm? Okay. (picks her up)
Future Danny: (to himself) Now's my cue. (follows Skkye)
(Later)
(Skkye is driving and she sees Future Danny disguised as Present Danny)
Skkye: Danny?
Future Danny: Skkye?
Skkye: What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be at work?
Future Danny: I'm on break.
Skkye: Ah.
Future Danny: Mind if I go along with you guys?
Skkye: Not at all.
(Future Danny gets in car)
Future Danny: (thinking) Yes! My plan's going right on schedule. It's working!
(Right before the accident...)
Skkye: (sees car driving towards her) Oh my God. Danny, I love you. I want you to know that before we die. (kisses him)
Future Danny: (thinking) Ah, I missed her soft lips.
Skkye: I love you too Angela!
(Angela cries)
(the other car is about to crash into them)
(Danny makes the car go intangible)
Skkye: Oh my God. What happened?
Danny: I don't know. That was weird huh?
Skkye: Hell yeah.
Danny: (to himself) Yes!
(10 years later)
(Amity Park)
(Danny and Skkye's house)
Danny: (opens door) Hello?
Girl: Mommy! Daddy's home!
(Skkye walks in, she has a very slim figure and is wearing a red halter top and denim miniskirt)
Skkye: Oh, Danny, you're home.
Danny: Yeah, it's been rough.
Skkye: Yeah, where have you been for the past year?
Danny: Around.
Skkye: Because when I called Sam, asking where you were, she said that you were with her.
Danny: Yeah, about that, I just haven't been myself lately.
Skkye: I'll say.
Girl: Daddy! Daddy!
Danny: Yeah?
Girl: Have I been myself lately?
Skkye: Yes, Maya, you have.
Danny: Maya?
Skkye: Your daughter, remember? She's eight.
Danny: Right. I've been away from home longer than I thought.
Skkye: Yeah.
Danny: So where's Angela?
Skkye: Don't you remember? We sent her to finishing school in London.
Danny: Yeah. I've just got a lot on my mind.
Skkye: Well, you're home, you can just relax and watch TV with your children and beautiful wife.
Danny: Yeah, that sounds nice.
Boy: Mom! Tell Ry to give me back my T.I. Moe action figure!
Skkye: (cooking) Tyler stop tattling on your brother, now get down here your father's home.
(Ryan and Tyler run downstairs)
Ryan & Tyler: Dad! (They jump on him)
Maya: Six-year-olds.
Ryan & Tyler: Annoying eight-year-olds.
(Maya sticks her tongue out)
Danny: Ry, Ty, stop picking on your sister.
Ryan & Tyler: Fine, Dad.
Danny: Let's watch some nice TV. (clicks on TV; Monster Truck Rally comes on)
Ryan & Tyler: Monster Truck Rally! The big trucks is gonna eat the little trucks! Wahoo!
Maya: Ugh, let's watch (turns show to Double-Cross My Heart) ...this.
Ryan & Tyler: Ew.
Danny: Better idea. Let's watch Mexican Idol.
Tyler: Dad, you hate that show.
Skkye: Yeah, I thought you were more fond of Californian Idol.
Danny: Okay, we'll watch that. (turns on Californian Idol)
(Later)
(Danny and Skkye are reading in bed)
Skkye: Danny, you haven't really been yourself lately. Is something wrong?
Danny: No, I'm fine really.
Skkye: Okay then. G'night.
Danny: Night.
(Skkye goes to sleep)
(2 am)
(Danny sneaks out of the house and flies to Sam's apartment)
Danny: I can just sneak in and see her one last time. (light turns on) Wait a minute. (sees a guy) Who's that? Is he? (Sees Sam get up and kiss him; Danny goes invisible) He can't be. Maybe he's just a friend, like I was. (lights turn off; laughing is heard) Oh, dear lord. (flies off) I'll be back later today.
(Eight am)
(Danny knocks on Sam's door)
Sam: (opens door) Hello?
Danny: (kisses her) I missed you.
Sam: Danny, what the fuck are you doing here? It's eight am!
Danny: Yeah, but I missed you.
Sam: (sighs) Come in.
(guy comes out in underwear)
Guy: Sam, who's there? (Sees Danny) Oh my God. Who the hell are you?!
Danny: I'm a friend of Sam. We went to high school together.
Guy: Oh, well, okay. (goes back into room)
Danny: Who's that?
Sam: My boyfriend, James.
Danny: Since when?
Sam: Since when is it any of your business who I date? I'm a free girl, Fenton, I can do what I want.
Danny: But you told me that you were married.
Sam: I was, a long time ago. Worst six weeks of my life.
Danny: I'm sorry Sam.
Sam: Look, I don't need a moral now, don't you have a wife to get home to?
Danny: Why do you have to be that way?
Sam: Just leave, please. You had your chance with me and you chose Skkye.
Danny: Well, yeah, we had a baby involved.
Sam: Please, Danny, just leave.
(Danny walks out)
(At home...)
(Danny walks in)
Skkye: And where have you been mister?
Danny: Out.
Skkye: Danny, if you want to be with your friends, just tell me. You don't have to sneak out.
Danny: I'm going to bed. Later.
(after Danny is gone)
Skkye: Something is definitely up with that man.
Maya: Mom, Ry and Ty took my CD player again and my Dolphin Boys CD!
Skkye: Mai, stop tattling on your brothers.
Maya: I'm not tattling! They really took them and are ripping it apart!
Skkye: Just, go upstairs for a while.
Maya: Fine, but remember who had to pay for those!
(A year later)
Danny: Shut up!
Skkye: No! It's your fuckin' fault that we're in this mess and you're telling me to shut up?
Danny: We can't afford another baby! We can barely afford the ones we already have!
Skkye: I don't know why we're in this mess. I hate you! Hate you!
Danny: Ding-ding-ding, we have a winner.
Skkye: Why do you always have to do the dinging thing? Huh? It's retarded!
Danny: I know you are but what am I?
Skkye: Grow up! That's the thing about you! You're immature, lazy, self-centered, and overall selfish!
Danny: Get out! Get out of my house! Now!
Skkye: Fine! I hate you Fenton! Hate you! (Grabs Maya, Tyler and Ryan; they run out)
Danny: (sits down; with his face in his hands) Oh, God. What have I done?
(Three weeks later)
(Angela's dorm)
Angela: (phone rings) 'ello? Daddy? Hi! How're you?
Danny: (on other line) I'm good, uh, honey, I have bad news. Your mom and I are divorcing.
Angela: What? Why? You and Mum were so good t'gether!
Danny: I know. But we got into a fight and she, your brothers and sister left home.
Angela: I'm so s'rry Daddy. Is there a'yway I can help?
Danny: No, just don't believe anything your mother tells you.
Angela: Yes, Daddy. I love you.
Danny: I love you too.
Angela: Bye Daddy.
Danny: Bye Angela.
(Skkye's apartment)
(Three weeks later)
Skkye: Kids, I'm sorry but it's all we can afford now, since I'm having a new baby. Also, since there's only one bedroom, Maya and I will sleep in there. And you two will sleep in the living room, either on the couch or on the air mattress.
Ryan: Mom, this is ridiculous! Why can't you and Dad stay together so we can have the big house?
Skkye: It was your father's choice and he chose to live alone.
Maya: Mommy, I'm scared.
Skkye: Don't be honey, look, we'll make it. You'll see.
(they all hug)
(doorbell rings)
Tyler: I'll get it. (opens door) Dad?! What are you doing here?
Danny: I wanted to say I'm sorry.
Skkye: (sighs) Kids, go into my room and watch TV, your father and I have to talk.
Tyler: Okay. (they run into the room)
(Danny and Skkye go outside the apartment)
Skkye: What's this all about?
Danny: I wanted to apologize.
Skkye: You're about three weeks too late.
Danny: I wanted to make peace with you, but you didn't want to.
Skkye: What?! You never—
Danny: Just stop. I get it. If you never want to see me again, you don't have to. But the courts say that I have custody of Angela.
Skkye: What?! They never said—
Danny: I got a letter this morning.
Skkye: (groans) Fine. But stay out of my life! (Slams door)
