A Danny Phantom crossover one. I'm trying to make them funny at the end, but we'll see how I do.

Tucker always knew he had weird dreams. His friends could attest to that.
One of the ones he can remember had him and his friends in this summer camp/exercise program. It took place on a beach with scattered trees that you would find in a forest. Ms. Tetslaff was there too, as the supervisor, complete with a chain of sausage links used as a whip on kids who moved too slow.
The only dream he had that actually fulfilled his dreams was the one with the incident with Nocturne. Danny had to come in and spoil that one, though, and it hasn't come back since. That doesn't mean he hasn't tried, though.
The only dream he had that he didn't tell his friends was the one when he married the Lunch Lady. Yes, the one without a pulse.
He always knew he had weird dreams. This one, however, takes the cake.
It started off like a normal study hall when Ms. Tetslaff (She's just popping up everywhere, isn't she?) confiscated his PDA and "other techno geek junk." Danny and Sam were nowhere in sight, and Dash said some stupid joke at his expense. But his voice sounded… deeper and so did his cronies'. Then their eyes glowed red.
Now, from hanging around Danny, half-ghost extraordinaire, you get to see a lot of cases of possession. The symptoms are usually: personality changes, voice changes (puberty or not), and their eyes normally turn red. And, well… two out of three isn't bad. Tucker turned and ran before they dissolved into grey gas with burning eyes. He didn't even know they did until he glanced back.
At some point during all this (He didn't know. He was too busy running for his life.), the library had melted just into an all black landscape—if you could call it that. It was just an endless expanse of black. Then there was a blinding flash, and he was in a completely new place.
It was nighttime, or at least dark, wherever he was. Up ahead of him was an ornate, dry fountain and a cobblestone road leading from where he stood to and curling around it. Dark trees loomed just off the pathway, but their being full of leaves didn't make them seem too creepy. Branching off the path around the fountain were various doors that lead to nowhere. Seriously, there was nothing behind them, save the trees.
And then the owl showed up. A talking owl. It introduced its fancy clothes wearing self as Owl (wow, totally original name). It said that this was someplace called the "Dream Gate." Tucker just tuned him out. And just when he thought this dream couldn't get any weirder, it did.
In the form of a purple flying jester with a huge red crystal in its chest. It also wore a pretty fancy shirt with delicate patterns going down the sleeves and pants. Its purple hat had some darker stripes and came to an end in two points. A small grin was on its face as two clear indigo eyes locked with Tucker's own green pair. It pointed to its right hand (which was held in a traditional "stop" position) and just asked one question.
"Want to dualize with me?"
It was then that Tucker swore off eating Nasty Burger's nachos before bed.
