Chapter II: Let's Make a Date

The camera zoomed into the stage and back down to Vlad Masters at his seat at the host's desk. "Welcome back to Whose Line Is It Anyway! Our next game is going to be 'Let's Make a Date', and this will be for all four of you." Vlad paused as the four players got up from their chairs and made their way down to four stools that had been set out for them during the commercial break. Three of the stools had little cards set on the seat. Danny, Tucker, and Valerie made their way to these seats while Sam took her place on the one stool that didn't have a card on it. "Danny, Tucker, and Valerie are contestants on a game show hoping to win a date with our lovely bachelorette: Sam. However, they will not be portraying themselves. We've given each of them a strange quirk or identity. They've never seen these cards before."

Valerie was bachelor number 1. She glanced at her card, let out a giggle, and then sat down. Tucker was bachelor number 2, and he also laughed when he saw what was printed on his card. Danny, however, was still staring in shock at what was written on his card, causing the audience to start laughing all ready. They couldn't wait to see what was on his card.

"At the end of the game, Sam will have to guess what each of their identities are. So, begin!" Vlad said, sitting back.

"Bachelor Number 1?" Sam began.

"What?" Valerie grumbled, looking down at her fingernails with disinterest. On the monitor facing the audience, her identity was displayed for them all to see. It read: Paulina trying to get at Danny Phantom through Sam.

"I'm a romantic at heart. Where would you take me for our date?" Sam asked.

"Hopefully to wherever Phantom is." Valerie answered, putting on a fake Spanish accent. "But if I go out with you, he has to show up sometime, right?"

"Well, that sounds like fun." Sam said with a smile. "Bachelor Number 2?"

The camera focused on Tucker, who was nuzzling some invisible object in his hands. The text on the screen read: A ghost getting high on ghost nip.

When Tucker didn't respond to Sam's question, she asked again. "Bachelor Number 2?"

"What? Can't you see I've got… other things going on here?" Tucker asked with a little giggle, before he started spinning around in his seat.

"I love animals. If you were a type of animal, what would it be?" Sam asked.

"Definitely a cat named boo." Tucker laughed, changing his position again so that he seemed to be trying to lay down on the stool, his head hanging over the side and giggling straight into the camera. "Hey… hey… which way is up?" He asked.

"You sound like fun." Sam said simply. "Bachelor Number 3?"

"Yes?" Danny asked, but he was not looking at Sam at all. Instead he was sitting around in his seat and giving sultry gazes to… Vlad. The text on screen read: Not-so-secretly wishes the date was with Vlad Masters. The audience couldn't stop a roar of laughter from overtaking them.

Sam hesitated before asking. "I love to go out to eat. What sort of restaurant would you take me to?"

"A little sports bar where no one would recognize us, and we could spend the whole day watching Green Bay Packers games together." Danny said, still completely ignoring Sam and directing his words straight at Vlad, who was staring back at Danny nervously. As a guest host, he didn't know what was on the cards either.

"Okay…?" Sam said a little nervously. "Bachelor Number 1?"

"Have I won yet? Can you or can you not introduce me to Phantom?" Valerie demanded in her Spanish accent.

"I was just going to ask… for your favorite color." Sam said, shocked.

"Black for his suit, white for his hair, green for his eyes." Valerie rattled off. "What a dumb question. The better question would be, do I deserve Phantom's phone number? The answer is 'yes'."

"I'm not sure I like you very much." Sam commented. "Bachelor Number 2?"

Now Tucker had abandoned the stool entirely and was rolling around on the ground.

"Bachelor Number 2? Same question." Sam said.

"What…" Tucker broke down into giggles. "What was the question? I'm feeling really… fuzzy."

"What is your favorite color?"

"Color? They are all my favorite colors right now! Colors, Ooooooo!" Tucker gazed up at the ceiling, mystified. "You know what feels funny? Intangibility. Kinda makes you all tingly, like this stuff." He began rolling around in the imaginary ghost nip again.

"Um… okay." Sam began. "Bachelor Number 3?"

But Danny had abandoned his stool as well, he had made his way over to Vlad's desk, and was leaning over it giving the elder halfa bedroom eyes. Vlad had pushed his seat so far back that he was on the verge of falling off the stage.

"Hey, Vlad, let's get out of here all ready." Danny whispered to Vlad in his sexy voice. "We both know the real prize is right here in front of me." The audience howled with laughter when Vlad pushed his seat back far enough that it tipped off the stage. He caught himself with flight just before hitting the ground, and immediately began to hit the buzzer over and over to end the game.

Thankfully, Danny immediately broke character and took his place back on the stool. Vlad quickly retrieved his chair and set it back up-right while the audience continued to roar with laughter. Vlad compulsively straightened his tie and Danny also looked mortified, judging by the bright blush across his cheeks.

"Well… Sam? Are you ready to guess the identities of your bachelors?" Vlad asked.

"I think so." Sam said. "Bachelor Number 1 is Paulina trying to get a date with Danny Phantom." Valerie smiled and nodded. "Bachelor Number 2 is a ghost getting high." Tucker gave her a thumbs up. "And Bachelor Number 3 is more interested in Vlad than he is in me." Danny mutely nodded.

Vlad hit the buzzer again. "Negative a million points to Daniel for… that display."

"Hey! I just did what the card said." Danny complained.

"We'll be back with more Whose Line Is It Anyway after these commercial breaks." Vlad muttered.

LES: More audience participation! The next game is press conference! Valerie is going to be holding a press conference for the other three players to make a big announcement! What is her announcement?

Also, I will be doing Scenes from a Hat eventually, but I want a lot of suggestions for scenes. So I'm putting out the call for that now. I'm always open to receive Scenes from a Hat suggestions.
