Chapter 9:
CURE MONTAGE #1
Cure #243:
Blow on your thumb, like you're blowing up a balloon
Danny put his thumb in his mouth and blew, like his half-life depended on it. Which, judging by the current train of events, it just might.
"I AM THE BOX GHOST!" Said ghost screamed, phasing through Danny's bedroom wall.
*Hiccup* (Fenton)
Danny bit his thumb in his surprise. "Ahhh!" He screamed, somewhat girlishly.
"Dude, did you just hiccup?" The confused ghost asked.
It didn't matter that his powers were malfunctioning. Danny's eyes glowed an angry green. Boxy did not know who he was messing with, today.
Cure #42:
Try to shout "now", just before your next hiccup
"Now!" Danny shouted. Unfortunately, he was a few seconds off.
*Hiccup* (Fenton)
"You missed." Tucker pointed out, unnecessarily.
"Ya think?" Danny replied, annoyed. "NOW!"
*Hiccup* (Phantom)
"Shoot."
Cure #76:
Chew gum
Tucker handed a piece of bubble gum to Danny, who popped it into his mouth and began to chew. After a few seconds, he decided to try for a bubble.
"BOOGA, BOOGA, BOOGA!"
Jazz was really determined to make her idea work...
Danny screamed and hiccuped at the same time. (Tucker was impressed with that one.) Danny's bubble popped, covering all of Team Phantom in gum. The Trio sent glares at the redhead, who chuckled nervously.
Cure #37:
Eat a spoonful of sugar, then focus on some other activity.
(Might take a minute or two.)
Danny sat next to Tucker in his bedroom floor, both holding game controllers. The Trio had managed to get some of the gum out of their hair. But, not enough, apparently, as it had all of their hair sticking out in every direction. Sam handed the half-ghost a spoonful of sugar, and he ate it, almost angrily.
"You are GOIN' DO-"
*Hiccup* (Phantom)
"OWN!" He declared, around the mouthful, now floating just above the floor. Whether he was talking to his best friend or the hiccups is anyone's guess. If he was gonna get his mind off this, he was gonna have to work hard.
Alas, it seems neither the hiccups nor the smug grin on Tucker's face were going anywhere, as Danny discovered. Apparently, hiccups make it hard to fight, in games or reality.
Halfway through their fourth virtual battle, (Danny losing miserably,) Technus decided to stick his head through the screen. Danny almost lost it when the ghost-geek shouted "Booga, booga, booga!"
Jazz walked in from her second shower, after what she had dubbed 'The Chicle Debacle', screamed, and sucked both Technus and Danny into the thermos. Again.
Well, at least I'm not in here with The Box Ghost, this time, He thought.
*Hiccup* (Fenton)
Technus burst out laughing, as Danny's hiccups got worse. The three humans in the room couldn't help but stare at the cackling soup thermos, which hopped a little with each hiccup.
Cure #92:
Hold your tongue outside of your mouth
"Thith ith thtupid." Danny deadpanned, holding his tongue with two fingers. He was standing in the middle of the Fentons' living room with the rest of his team. With his free hand, he picked at a small wad of gum he had just found behind his ear. (Oh, Technus was gonna be paying for this, for a loooong time.)
Suddenly, Ember flew into the house. The Box Ghost was spreading rumors all over the Zone that the halfa had the hiccups, and it was a sight to see. She couldn't just not check it out and/or torment him.
After Danny bit his tongue, Tucker swallowed the piece of gum he'd taken for himself, Jazz's hair got stuck to Sam's (again), and Ember laughed so hard she actually cried, the young ghost-hunters decided to exact their revenge.
Strange things happened in FentonWorks, that hour.
Let's just say it involved bubblegum, peanut butter, a rake, a fire extinguisher, a soup thermos, and a lot of hiccuping. (Not to mention the frozen moment when Danny's dad ran through the middle of the improvised battlefield to grab some fudge from the kitchen, completely oblivious to the ongoing, mid-air war he had inadvertently paused. Thankfully, he seemed to have forgotten that Danny should be stuck in the floor.)
Strange things... anywhere else. Sadly, it was pretty-much normal around here.
AN: Hey, Everybody! :) Happy Friday!
Well, here it is! The chapter that is basically what I thought this whole fic would basically be, when I first started writing it! And, after I got started, it took me nine chapters to get here... And, there's only one more like it! But, oh, well :)
The good new is, the rest of the chapters, from here on out, should be longer than they have been :) (Except Chapter 13... Not sure what happened there...)
Special thanks to scaehime for Cure #37: Eat a spoonful of sugar, then focus on some other activity.
As always, God bless, and I hope you enjoyed :)
