Chapter 2:
Laughter Is The Best Medicine
(Usually)
"Okay," Tucker started, fiddling with something on his ever-present PDA. "Ways to get rid of hiccups. Cure #1: Hold your breath for as long as you can."
*Hiccup*
Fenton landed on the couch he had previously been floating over as Phantom. "Hold my breath. Okay."
Danny proceeded to do just that. He and Tucker sat there for what seemed like ages, before Sam came back, carrying a glass of water. "Uh..." She droned, staring at the boys, as she realized what they were doing. "You guys do realize that, being half-ghost, Danny doesn't actually have to breathe, right?"
*Hiccup* (Phantom)
"Riiiiight. Forgot about that." Tucker said sheepishly, as Danny glared at him. "Cure #2:" Tucker continued, pretending not to notice the look. "Hold your nose and drink a glass of water."
Danny took the glass of water from Sam and started to drain it, one hand on his nose. "...Well?" Sam asked.
"Did it work?" Tucker prodded.
Danny waited for a few second. "I'm not su-"
*Hiccup* (Fenton)
"-Nope." Danny finished.
"Oh, here's a new one." Tucker said. Sam and Danny looked over at him. "Cure #3: Think of every bald man you know."
The three just stared at each other blankly, before bursting into laughter.
"That has got to be-" Danny started, between giggles. "the stupidest-"
*Hiccup* (Phantom)
"Well, that crosses off Cure #118: Laugh." Tucker said, checking it off the list on his PDA.
"A hundred and eighteen!? How many are there!?" Danny asked, surprised.
"Uhhhhhhhhh-" Tucker droned as he scrolled down the list. "A lot."
Danny looked at the clock. It was already 4:30. "Uhggggg-"
"I am so dead." Danny moaned.
"Cheer up, dude. We've still got..." Tucker checked his screen, "...two hundred and eleven cures to try." He grinned, optimistically
AN: Hey, guys! I know, it's another short chapter, but this felt like a good place to split. Please read, review, comment. Flame, if you must, but I'm not fireproof. So, unless you want the author to turn into ashes that can't type, I'd wait until the last chapter :)
Also, what do you think of the way I'm putting the *hiccup*s? I tried a bunch of different ways, and decided they needed their own line, because putting which form he's in was getting repetitive, but I needed a way to keep track of which Danny it was. (Even I was having to keep checking back...) So, if anyone can think of a better way to put those, I'll see how they fit.
Anywho, I'll try to make the next chapter longer, but no promises. Once this is done, it might be short enough that I combine it into a oneshot, or it might end up twelve miles long. It depends on how many funny hiccup cures I can find.
The internet is a treasure trove :)
As always, God bless, I hope you enjoyed it, and they need to make a heart emoji on this site, 'cause it turns all of mine into 3s. :)
