CatchingWind here, also known as Stopwatch! (Due to me! :) )
YESH! Now I get the upper hand! But this wouldn't have come out if it weren't for my good friend here, OwlheadAthena! She's the one who beta-ed it. (Yup! :D) She did a good job of it too XD
I finally have a nickname for her, although she was the one who came up with how to get it, so I will be calling her Psyche (pronounced 'sike') from now on! Or at least often… (Nah, you can do it all the time :) )
Before this gets any longer, I will give myself the honor of the DISCLAIMER!
Disclaimer: Neither OwlheadAthena or I own the Nicktoons Unite! Video game series, Danny Phantom, Spongebob, The Fairly OddParents, or Jimmy Neutron, or anything else I'm forgetting!
Oh yeah, and I think my sister is about to steal Dani from you, Psyche. She is now a fan of her, but not as big of a one as me or you. XD (WHUT! *eye twitch* Well, Dani needs more fans anyway :) )
I CLAIM HER FOR THIS CHAPTER! HA! (although, you may delete this when you get this… darn!) (Nah, I owe it to you in the least :D )
TEST TIME!: To see if people actually READ these author's notes, if you review this, (which we both hope you do!) your review must include something about purple-backed gorillas! (Don'tcha love it when I make references to other DP episodes? XD) (Why, what a challenge! XD)
Now, anything to say OHA before I make a fool out of myself?
Yup!
First off, you'll never guess what I found out XD So on Danny Phantom wikia, I found out that if Danny Phantom hadn't been cancelled, and if the guy who voiced Clockwork hadn't died, the DAN PHANTOM (Dark Danny) would've come back! 8D How awesome would that have been? (Wait, the guy who voiced Clockwork died? D8 That sucks… I have mixed feelings about Dan coming back… but that's my opinion. Oh jeez. PLOT BUNNY ALERT! This gives me an idea for my DP S4… 8D)(Alright, now you got ME excited, to! XD But that is too bad about Clockwork... :( Wait a minute, holy CRAP Stopwatch! You're DEAD! D8)
SO yeah, I'm pleased. I know how more inspiration for writing 'Trapped, Stuck, Caged' XD (Ooh, I think I just promoted myself :p) (No, seriously. GO READ IT NOW! It is like, THE most epic story EVER!)(Pfft, the chapters are getting ridiculously short though XD)
SO yeah. This pleases me.
Anyway, ONWARD!
Previously…
Aside from the fact that people (or animals) from three different universes were gathered in the same area, the situation did not at all strike as odd to Jimmy, having done several crazy things his entire 11-year-old life.
But something… or someone was missing.
"So if me, Spongebob, and Timmy are here… then where's Danny?"
...
Jimmy looked up at the… purple sky? That couldn't be right.
And all of those green things flying around in that purple sky couldn't be right either.
He then proceeded to scan his surroundings to try and make some sort of sense out of this peculiar mess. It didn't really help though when he saw hundreds of screaming people running against Jimmy, running away from the city. Buildings of various colors, shapes, and sizes lined the crowded streets down from the tree clearing, but most were being vacated or were already empty. Billboards were dotted across the roofs of these buildings, advertising different things such as 'MONTEZ FOR MAYOR' or 'COCA-COLA' or-
'HOME OF DANNY PHANTOM'?
'We must be in Amity Park…' Jimmy rationalized to himself tentatively, now knowing where he and his friends were, but not what was going on. After all, he couldn't stop anybody and ask them what was happening since they were all screaming in terror.
Spongebob was the next to wake up. Holding his head and groaning pretty loudly, he asked "Whahappen?", slurred and almost incoherent.
"AAAAHHHH! War of the Worlds!"
The two friends whirled around to see a middle-aged (and somewhat overweight) man, who very well could have been a teacher. He was clutching his bald head in terror, although he removed one hand to point directly at Spongebob.
"TALKING SPONGE!" After his cry of fear, he turned back around and raced away with all of the other citizens of Amity. Jimmy and Spongebob looked at each other in confusion and shrugged. They had no idea what ran through that man's head.
Over Jimmy's tall head of hair, Spongebob's icy blue eyes caught sight of something very familiar… why couldn't he place it? He knew that he had seen that somewhere before… Finally, he gave up and asked Jimmy.
"Hey Jimmy?"
"Yes, Spongebob?" Jimmy responded breathlessly, trying to grab somebody's attention. Unfortunately, his actions weren't proving to be successful.
"What's that big shiny thing over there?" the yellow, porous square asked, pointing over the boy genius' shoulder and trying to keep his thin finger steady.
"What's what big shi-" Jimmy started, but caught sight of it mid-sentence. Unlike Spongebob, he recognized the looming object- would you even call it an object?- instantly and knew that they needed to go there to figure out what was going on.
"That's Danny's house! We have to wake everyone up and get over there as fast as we can! These holographic beings don't look like they're going to hold out much longer on not trying to destroy things!" (CW: I forget if Jimmy believes in ghosts or not. So I'm going to do the same thing he does for Timmy's fairies.) (OHA: Ha, dude, look at your initials XD See where I got it?) (CW: I'm laughing right now looking at it! Now I have a picture of the time medallion stuck in my head XD To our readers: You're probably getting annoyed by our blathering. Oh well! XD)
It took awhile, but eventually the two managed to get everybody to wake up. Especially since as soon as they got Patrick up, he would fall right back asleep again. When they finally go Patrick to stay awake for five minutes, Jimmy explained that it was going to be rough, considering the appearances of some of them, but that they were going to Danny's house to find out what was going on.
And it was rough. They had to push against the crowds, stop every five seconds to hear someone screaming about walking starfish or something of the sort, and (Jimmy especially hated to admit this) got lost a couple of times. But after two grueling hours of running, pushing, and debating (on directions), they finally go to the two story townhouse, topped with a teetering OP Center. Jimmy (who'd seemed to be unanimously 'elected' the leader of the group) ushered them all into the alleyway in between the Fenton household and the next house.
"I want all of you to stay here except for Timmy and Spongebob. You two need to come with me," the boy genius instructed. The two identified people (er… person and sponge, that is) obeyed while some of the others protested. Jimmy held up a hand to stop them. "No! It's only logical that these two come with me!"
"Not everyone knows how your brain works," Cindy pouted, crossing her arms over her chest. It took her a second to realize that a certain somebody was leaving, and when she noticed who was going to be accompanying Jimmy, she cried "Bye, Timmy! I'm missing you already!" Of course, without her seeing, both Jimmy and Timmy rolled their eyes in annoyance, then led Spongebob off to knock at the front door of the Fenton homestead.
"Won't the people who live in there think that a walking and talking sponge is weird?" Spongebob asked worriedly as the three rang the doorbell.
"These are ghost hunters, Spongebob! They shouldn't be too freaked out about your looks!" Timmy reassured him as the door slowly creaked open. Standing there in the doorway was a girl- no older than 17, with bright red-orange hair. She was holding a book and paying attention to it rather than the strange trio at the doorstep.
"We've already told you, he's not-" she began, but stopped abruptly, seeing that these weren't news reporters or journalists, just two kids and their… pet or something behind them. She couldn't really tell because of the kids blocking their view. She frowned in confusion. These kids didn't look familiar, and they sure didn't look like people from the media.
"Sorry, but if you're looking for Danny, he's unavailable right now," she replied sadly, not wanting to disappoint the two brunettes in front of her. Unfortunately, the two gained sad looks on their faces. They must have really wanted to see him.
"Alright, well… we'll check back later…" the one with the tall hairdo answered in a depressed tone, turning with his friend and making their way down the three steps that led down to the sidewalk. As the girl closed the door, she finally got a good look at the pet, which… well, it was definitely not a pet.
"Wait a second…" she called quickly. The trio whipped around to face the girl again, confused expressions on their faces. She pointed to Spongebob, then asked "Are you a… sponge?" Hesitantly, the person in question nodded slowly, wondering if the girl was going to freak out. Instead, she hesitated for exactly two seconds before replying to the nod.
"I think you'd better come on in."
Grrr… this is so darn short.
Well, now we know where they landed, but still don't know what's happened to Danny. Well, you guys don't. Psyche and I do. :)
Did we ever mention that this is after Phantom Planet (in the DP universe)? Cause if we didn't, it is. But only Jimmy, Timmy, and Spongebob know, not their friends (I think.)
If you can't tell, my writing leans more towards the humor end, while OHA's leans towards the angst-y end. It balances out well, doesn't it? 8D
Did I do good?
Oh yes! Cookies for anyone who can guess who the old overweight man was XD
Anything else that I'm missing or that you'd like to say, Owlhead?
Don't worry, it's not short :) I think it's AWESOME!
Yush… we're evil like that :D
Yup! It's after Phantom Planet.
So yeah, we balance each other perfectly XD
You did AWESOME. (Yah? Well yours are better XD)
Pfft… guess, readers. I dare you. :p
Why yes:
Oh yeah, and just to annoy some people: NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN
NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN NYAN (cause we're mean like that XD)
Please, please, please, PLEASE review if you are reading this! Do you know how annoying it is to see that people have visited a story but haven't reviewed it to both of us? (Trust me, read Psyche's story 'Revelations and Venting'. I'm thinking about doing the same!)
Anyways, this is Stopwatch and Psyche signing off until the next chappie!
Toodles! (And Stoppy? That has GOT to be the most evilest and simple cliffhanger I've ever SEEN! XD)
