Enjoy…
Chapter 11: Attempted Words of Wisdom
At the Alternate Fenton Works, Danny, Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, and Alternate SpongeBob were sitting in the messy living room after failing to get the Alternate Danny's help, who didn't turn out to be what the four had expected.
"Man," Danny said with an annoyed glare and his arms crossed. "I'm starting to think I'd rather deal with Dark Dan than that crazy jerk. Even The D-Phantom is sane compared to that guy."
"Oh Danny," Alternate SpongeBob said with a smile as he shook his head. "He's not crazy. He's just a little shy and cranky."
"If that's shy, then I don't wanna know what he's like when he's cheery and outgoing." Wanda angrily mentioned.
"And there's obviously no way he's gonna help us save Timmy." Danny told Alternate SpongeBob. "He said so himself, he doesn't care about anyone."
"Why do you even like him?" Wanda asked the sponge. "You saw how he treated you."
"Yeah," Cosmo also asked. "Danny isn't even a jerk to our SpongeBob. And he's not even close to being cool like the Alternate Danny."
While Danny glared at Cosmo, Alternate SpongeBob answered, "Guys, guys, you're being too hard on him. Sure he may be a little rough around the edges, but he's got a heart somewhere deep down, he just needs a little time to get to know you."
"And how long will that take?" Wanda asked. "Did you forget that Timmy needs our help now?"
"Of course not." Alternate SpongeBob easily replied, but got a look of worry, "Although, without Danny, I can't get into the lab as easy as I could."
Poof then got a sad look as tears formed in his eyes. "Timmy."
Danny noticed this and narrowed his eyes. "Alright, if that jerk isn't gonna help us, then I'm just gonna have to convince him otherwise."
After a few minutes of looking on the second floor, Danny soon went up further to the roof and found his alternate self, sitting by himself, looking at the view.
"Hey…" Danny meekly said with a small wave. "…Alternate Me…how goes it?"
Alternate Danny didn't bother to face him and he just replied, "That proves it, you're an idiot."
Danny just frowned and dully said, "Right." Then he shook it off and said, "Listen, we really need your help to save my friend."
"Did you not hear my answer last time?" Alternate Danny asked, still not facing him. "I said no; go kill yourselves on your own."
Danny seemed on the edge of losing his patience, but he none the less remained calm and tried harder to convince him.
"Look, I know why you don't wanna help. SpongeBob told me everything that happened to you."
Alternate Danny frowned angrily and placed his hand over his bandaged eye with his chains rattling on his shackles. "Thanks for telling me. I'll just have to kick SpongeBob's square butt later."
"That's not what I meant. I know you don't wanna help us because you're too scared to go back and face Neutron." As he said this, he stared at the shackles locked on his alternate self's wrists. "After everything he's done to you, you don't wanna have to relive it."
At this, Alternate Danny's frown disappeared and it was replaced by a cynical smile and he burst out in laughter that startled Danny a bit.
His laughter soon died down and he finally turned his head to Danny, "You stupid kid. That brat Neutron doesn't scare me in the least. In fact, I have a list of things I plan to do to him for all the things he's done to me once I see him."
"Uh, right, revenge is fun to think about." Danny weakly said as he scratched the back of his head. "So, does that mean you'll come with us?"
"Of course not." Alternate Danny said with a sly smile. "Where's the fun in ruining the chance for you freaks to suffer."
"You're calling US freaks?" Danny asked in offense. "Look who's talking?"
At this, Alternate Danny suddenly turned around and grabbed Danny by the collar of his shirt. "I'd watch what you say around me, human." He said, staring him in the eyes. "Otherwise, it'll be the last thing that comes out of your trap."
Danny seemed nervous by this and he quickly responded, "Yeah, sure, message received as long as you help us."
"Do I have to carve the word 'no' on your forehead to get it through?" Alternate Danny asked, holding a glowing green finger.
"Hold up." Danny said with his hands in front of him. "The truth is I don't really wanna ask you for help, mostly because I think you're a total jerk and a loon. But SpongeBob does and he won't go without you."
"Good to know," Alternate Danny said, not letting go of Danny. "It makes wanna to go even less."
"I don't know why, but SpongeBob thinks of you as his best friend. Why do you have to act like a total jerk to him?"
Alternate Danny then shook Danny by his shirt and responded, "You think I care how that little twerp feels? Give me one good reason why I should help that little idiot?"
Danny tried to shake loose from his grip as he yelled, "Because you owe him!"
Alternate Danny's eye widens until he glares, "I said a GOOD reason!"
"You might not think it's good, but it is." Danny explained. "In case you've forgotten, SpongeBob saved your life from that place; he helped you. But now he needs your help and if we don't hurry, my friend is gonna suffer the same fate you did."
After Danny had finished, Alternate Danny pushed Danny to the ground and began to walk away. He stopped momentarily and turned to his other self, "We never would've gotten out if it hadn't been for me."
After the Alternate Danny had left, Danny sat on the ground staring at his failed attempt to change the mind of his doppelganger.
Soon, Danny walked downstairs to the living room where Cosmo, Wanda, Poof, and Alternate SpongeBob were waiting.
"There you are, Danny." Wanda smiled as she flew over to him. "So how'd it go?"
"Well, I've learned something." Danny uneasily answered.
"And?"
"The D-Phantom is way less crazy than the Alternate Me."
The four stared dumbfounded until Cosmo stated, "Well, it looks like Timmy's stuck as Evil Jimmy's lab monkey forever."
When Poof was about to burst into tears, Danny quickly said, "No, we're not gonna give up. We don't need King of Crazyville to help us. We'll go in and save Timmy ourselves."
"I suppose you're right, Danny." Alternate SpongeBob said sadly, lowering his goggles. "It would be unfair to just leave him. Let's head out."
When the group began to walk away, a green ecto-beam nearly hit them and they yelp in shock as they turn to see Alternate Danny standing on the staircase with his hand smoking with green energy.
"Where do you morons think you're going?" Alternate Danny asked as he jumped through the air and landed on the ground with a white light going across his body and changing him into ghost form.
Danny stared at this amazed, seeing his alternate self was not much different in ghost form than he was, except he did not have an emblem on his chest and his shackles remained on his wrists. He also noticed the cloth disappeared from his right eye. He didn't see anything wrong with his eye, so it was still a mystery why he wore it in the first place.
"Danny, what's wrong?" Alternate SpongeBob asked in concern.
"I just didn't want you idiots to go without me." Alternate Danny said with a smirk as he pointed to himself. "Weren't you crying and begging for me to go before?"
Cosmo, Wanda, and Poof smile in joy while Alternate SpongeBob runs up and hugs Alternate Danny. "Oh, of course we want you to go! We're always glad to have you aboard!"
But Alternate Danny just kicked Alternate SpongeBob away and said, "Arms will come off again, SquarePants, arms will come off."
Then Danny walked over to his counterpart and asked, "So…what made you change your mind?"
Alternate Danny looked at Danny with a smirk and answered, "Just going to give Neutron a whack for revenge, but not before watching you all suffer first."
Danny just chuckled nervously and replied, "Whatever gets you going."
Then Alternate Danny walked past Poof and stopped in front of him as he stared at the baby. Danny just stared as his counterpart didn't do anything until he suddenly growled fiercely which made Poof cry.
Alternate Danny just laughed and walked away while Wanda held Poof to calm him down. She glared at the real Danny and said, "You can be a real jerk, you know that?" but Danny didn't respond to this.
"Alright, McLoons!" Alternate SpongeBob shouted in determination. "We have a friend to save."
"SpongeBob, it's Nick…Oh, forget it." Danny slumped over in annoyance as he changed into ghost form.
Alternate Danny watched this with a small smile as he said, "Nice insignia."
Danny chuckled and replied, "Thanks. My girlfriend made it for me."
"Aw, isn't that sweet?" Alternate Danny said in fake sympathy. "What's it stand for? 'Doofus in a Package'?"
While Alternate Danny laughed cruelly at this and walked away while the real Danny just slumped over again and frowned in annoyance.
"Alright…" Alternate SpongeBob said as he thought to himself. "There's a blind spot at the back left corner of the building, so if we sneak in through there…"
While he was thinking, Alternate Danny looked off in one direction and glared, "That human over there…" he said as Danny and the fairies turn to see an Alternate Dash Baxter waiting at the bus stop and minding his own business.
"He's staring at me." He then cracked his knuckles and smirked. "Why don't I just show him what my powers can do besides how they look?"
"Wait, Alternate Me! He wasn't-"
Before Danny could do anything, Alternate Danny flew off at fast speed and the next thing that was heard was screaming. Alternate SpongeBob just chuckled nervously, "And that's why we can't go out together, isn't that unfair?"
They all wince as they watch Alternate Danny attack the poor defenseless civilian, and Wanda soon said, "It's official…Timmy's doomed."
Will they be able to save Timmy? Eh…probably not. Please review what you think so far and the next chapter will be up soon.
