Act II: A Not So Easy Job

At the Fenton household, Jack is angrily pacing after being thrown out of the barbeque. Danny walks through the covered in chili.

Danny: (sarcastically) Thanks for the ride home.

Maddie: Sorry honey, but we had to take your father home before he caused more trouble. Also, we didn't want chili on the seats. By the way, Tucker is in the lab waiting for you.

Danny: Probably so he can look through my fan mail and grab any money or write down phone numbers.

Danny walks down the stairs to the lab while Danielle and Jazz are trying to cancel out Jack's grumbling with ear plugs. He reaches the bottom and sees Tucker waiting.

Tucker: Finally dude, I've been waiting here for half an hour.

Danny: What about the barbeque?

Tucker: its three days long, I can miss one day. By the way where's Sam?

Danny: Here parents are making her work at the barbeque just because we're dating.

Tucker: Harsh dude, I'm sure she'll be- Ohh big box!

Danny: Box? Tucker don't-

Before he could stop him, Tucker opened it.

Box Ghost: BEWARE!

The Box Ghost appears out of the box.

Danny: (Groan) Didn't I defeat you like an hour ago?

Box Ghost: The Box Ghost cannot be defeated! Now, face my- begging and weeping.

Danny: I'm going gh- wait what?

Box Ghost: I need your help. During the fight I was winning at the barbeque, I fell in love with the most beautiful girl.

Danny: Love? Girl? Barbeque? Winning?

Tucker: Who's the lucky lady? Spectra? Ember? Desiree?

The box ghost pulls a box out of mid-air and takes out a picture.

Box Ghost: It's the beautiful Lunch Lady.

Danny: HER! I don't know whether to be sick or laugh.

Tucker: I do.

Tucker grabs the box and throws up in disgust.

Danny: I agree with "Chunks" over here. Why do you need our help?

Box Ghost: For some reason, she resists my macho moves and you're the only person I know who has met her, has a girlfriend, and will laugh the least about the situation.

Tucker begins to stop and Danny makes his decision.

Danny: Alright, I'll help. Only because if this works, I won't have to deal with you as much and let's just say that a friend of mine would want this to happen.

As he says those last words, he remembers being attacked by the twisted being known as Box Lunch and of Clockwork's message about unity.

Box Ghost: Thank you Danny Phantom! Now what should I do?

Danny: First thing you should know is that she loves meat. She can even use it as a weapon. Also, don't try and change anything involving food, and last she has a bit of a temper, so watch what you say.

Box Ghost: Alright, farewell Danny Phantom!

The Box Ghost flies into the Ghost Zone portal and Tucker finishes being disgusted. Later at night, the Fentons are getting ready for bed.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Jack: I'll get it.

Jack opens the door to see Sam's parents and two cops behind them.

: Jack, you really have done it this time.

Jack: Hey do we judge how you dress?

Mrs. Manson: Yes, but that's not why we're here. We're here because we want you to return the stolen meat from the barbeque.

Jack: The meat is gone? Oh the irony, I mean you wouldn't let me in the barbeque, but know no one can have the barbeque.

Mrs. Manson: Not exactly. We know you took the meat and we are here to take it back.

Jack: Hey, you have no right to accuse me. You don't have proof.

Mr. Manson: One, you fit the motive because your family is the only family not participating in this event. Second, we have the power and money to arrest you. Third, there's a trail of meat leading to your house.

Jack looks and there is a trail of meat leading to his house.

Mr. Manson: We are willing to look this over, if you return the meat, apologize, and make Danny break up with our daughter.

Danny: (off-screen) WHAT!

Danny appears out of no where.

Danny: I heard everything. My Dad did not steal that meat.

Jack: No need to defend me son. I'm sure our American justice system will see me innocent.

5 minutes later Jack is in a cop car.

Jack: Danny you can start defending me.

The cop car drives away leaving the Fentons in the street.

Jazz: I'll go try and find a lawyer.

Maddie: Good idea, the rest of us will go to bed.

Danny goes to the lab instead of his room. He finds in the lab The Box Ghost covered in meat.

Danny: I had a feeling you were behind this. Do I want to know why you're covered in meat?

Box Ghost: I was talking to the Lunch Lady and then she went nuts.

Danny: What did you say?

Box Ghost: "What's cooking, good looking" and "You look like you'll be meaty forever".

Danny grabs his cell phone and calls Tucker.

Danny: (to Tucker) Tucker, remind me to tell "Romeo" here what he is NOT supposed to do.

The next day, everybody is back at the park. Danny arrives to see his father in a 17th century stocks and Sam's parents watching.

Jack: Is this really necessary?

Mr. and Mrs. Manson: Yes.

Danny: Hey! What are you doing?

Mr. Manson: Making an example of your father. What are you doing here?

Danny: Sam sent me a text. By the way where is she?

Mrs. Manson: Helping with the barbeque. Now if you don't mind we're waiting for our shipment of meat.

As if on queue, a truck with meat comes in.

Danny: Why do you need my dad to return the meat when you already have more? And why do you guys have a grudge on my family?

Mr. Manson: Simple, we used to value your family's importance with more ghosts coming and let you be friends with Sam; but now that we know you're partially responsible and that you're the dangerous influence that is endangering kids to hunt ghosts, we view that as a threat to the neighborhood and our Sam.

Danny: But that's-

Box Ghost: AHHHHH!

Danny turns around to see the Box Ghost being chased by an angry Lunch Lady Ghost.

Danny: And I thought Tucker was bad at picking up women.

While everyone is looking at the ghosts, someone hijacks the truck and revs off with the back door open.

Mr. Manson: THE MEAT!

Mrs. Manson: The barbeque is ruined!

Lunch Lady: WHAT! NOBODY CHANGES THE MENU!

The Lunch Lady stops chasing after her admirer and starts to pursue the truck.

Danny: I'm going ghost!

Danny transforms into his ghost self and flies off after the truck and ghost.

Jack: Hello? Can anyone help me? I need to use the little ghost hunter's room.

As the two ghosts close in on the truck, one of the hijackers pulls out a blaster and fires from the window.

Danny: Yikes! Why can't I be normal?
