A/N: Well, wa-hoo! This story hit over 200 reviews this past week!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, you wonderfully sweet readers! You make it all worthwhile! But I do have a slight dilemma through all of this excitement: I want to dedicate this chapter to two special people. Can I do that? Heck, why not? So, I dedicate this chapter to my 200th reviewer, animephoenix2468 (YAY and thanks!) and to my friend, pearl84, who just graduated from college this morning (YAY and CONGRATS again!). And, YAY! Happy (early) Mother's Day to all you mothers out there. Gee, I better calm down enough to say that "IDNOAC" and "FULL credit to the original writers of the show for near or exact dialogue" things. Now, are you ready for Chapter 32? Marv and I are! Roll it, then, and ENJOY!!!
Danny Phantom Bloopers—Chapter 32-- On With the Show
Blooper 165
Maternal Instincts
(real blooper, BTW)
Cut to the last scene of the episode, just as Danny and Maddie are about to land the helicopter they 'borrowed' from Vlad after their 'scientific' weekend at Vlad's mountain chalet.
JACK (seeing the helicopter land): Quick, Jazz, they're back! Remember, not a word what went on here.
JAZZ (in a hazmat suit and holding a broom and dustpan): My lips are sealed….(begins to walk out of room) And as long as the house is 'ghost free', they'll never know. (turns back around before exiting) Oh, and Dad? Thanks!
Jack smiles. Jazz then leaves and Jack quickly does an Olympic-gold-medal-worthy-standing-broad-jump onto the couch. He quickly grabs his needlepoint just as Maddie and Danny walk in.
JACK: Heh-heh. Look who's back. How was your weekend?
DANNY and MADDIE (in unison): Uck! Ah, dumb! Boring! Totally dull! Ho-hum! A snore!
DANNY: I've gotta go call Tucker and Sam. But, you know….(kisses his mother on the cheek).
But instead of his leaving right away, his mother left the room and Danny was left to talk with his father.
BUTCH: Cut! Danny, what are you doing? You're supposed to leave and call Tucker and Sam.
DANNY (smiling sheepishly): Uh, I forgot my cue?
Blooper 166
Frightmare
Cut to the scene right after Danny shocks Tucker out of his Nocturne-induced dream. They have gone to get Sam. When Danny and Tucker are able to get into her room from a nearby window, they see that Sam is sleeping with one of Nocturne's dream helmet on her head. Tucker tries to take the helmet off of Sam, but is shocked by it.
TUCKER: OWWW!
DANNY PHANTOM: Oops! (chuckles in slight embarrassment) Uh, probably should've told you about that. My bad. Don't touch anything else. (looking down at the sleeping Sam) Now that I know how to do this, it'll only take a second.
Danny phases into Sam's dream. He looks around.
DANNY PHANTOM: (somewhat disappointed): The cafeteria? (snorts a bit) C'mon, Sam, I expected bigger dreams from…
He interrupts himself when he can see Sam in the distance wearing a red Casper High letter jacket and walking up to a dream facsimile of him in his human form… He listens in…
SAM (speaking to the dream facsimile of Danny Fenton): Can you make room for your girlfriend?
DANNY PHANTOM: (bewildered) Girlfriend? Uh, her dream is just like mine….(jolts at the revelation and then chuckles nervously) Her dream is like MINE.
He continues to watch in shock; and when the dream Danny Fenton and Sam are about to kiss, Danny Phantom backs up in disbelief and embarrassment. He continues to back up until he hits a table and knocks it over, falling to the ground and interrupting Sam and Danny Fenton's kiss.
SAM (confused at the site of Danny Phantom lying on the ground and then turning to speak to the dream Danny Fenton): Wait! You can't be in two places at once!
But Danny Phantom quickly turns invisible and flies over to Dash, quickly overshadowing him.
DASH (standing up and then pointing to himself): Actually, Sam, I'M Danny Phantom! Goin' ghost! (begins to chuckle) Hey, thanks, Butch! I always wanted to say that!
BUTCH: CUT! Dash, please stick to the script, OK?
DASH: Yeah, right. But I thought that this was just a dream?
*permission to groan, even though I know that you really thought it was funny!*

TAKE ONE
It's the very beginning of the show, and Danny is having, well, trouble with the opening scene…
Sam and Tucker are sitting in seats in the Casper High's auditorium. A blonde woman, who turns out to be Dora, walks on stage. She puts a hand on her hip.
DORA: Girls, do you dream of being a (spreads her arms) princess?
Three girls stand up from their seats and cheer.
SAM: No.
DORA:Of wearing (spreads her arms) beautiful gowns and—(lifts up her ring)—jewelry?
She puts out her hand with a ring featuring a giant, spherical green crystal on it that sparkles for emphasis.
SAM (more forcibly): No!
DORA:Of charming and beguiling (clasps her hands and blinks dreamily) that special prince?
SAM: (pointing a finger at her mouth) And…gag.
DORA:I'm Dora Mattingly. (spreads her arms) And I'm gonna make sure that dream comes true for one of you sweet young ladies.
Dora walks over to a rope on the edge of the stage and pulls it. A giant sign falls down.
DORA:That's why I'm bringing my Miss Teenage Happy Princess Beauty Pageant right here to your school!
SAM (depressed):I hate this more than I hate the morning sun.
TUCKER:What's wrong with beauty pageants?
SAM:Other than the fact that they turn girls into shallow doormats and boys into drooling idiots, (puts out her palms, angry) everything!
TUCKER:But it's got a swimsuit competition!
DORA:I need a worthy and chivalrous knight (turns left) to select our princess.
Dora turns back right as boys jump out from the crowd cheering and waving their arms like drooling idiots, all shouting "Pick me!"
TUCKER:Oh, man! Danny would love this! Where is he, anyway?
In the next scene, there is a wicked-looking ghost with a hood over his head showing a skull-like face. He raises his double-sided battle axe, which has a skull-like design, over his head and swings it down.
Cut to Danny, floating in a battle stance. He dodges to the right as the axe cuts closely next to him, then crouches as the axe sweeps overhead, jumps in a slight panic as the axe cuts under him, then divides into two duplicates when the axe cuts vertically in him.
DANNY:(stereo voices) Hey! If you needed (merges into one) something you should just ask!
BUTCH: CUT!
DANNY: What's wrong?
BUTCH: It's 'axe', not 'ask'!
DANNY (bewildered): Really? That's can't be right!
BUTCH (sighing): Well, it's 'axe'. Didn't you study all of your lines?
DANNY (slightly perturbed and defensive): Of course I did!
BUTCH: So, then, what's the next line?
Danny squirms, bites his lower lip and rolls his eyes upward and around, trying to think.
DANNY (spilling it out): Alright, alright! So I've been busier than usual and just haven't had the time!
BUTCH (slightly irritated): Well, alright. We'll re-shoot this scene later. Let's go on. Roll it!
The ghost with the hood then swings a rope over head. He throws it, lassoing it around Danny's boots.
DANNY (being pulled away): Hey! Watch the boots! I just had them cleaned!
BUTCH: CUT! Danny! You're supposed to say, 'Yikes!'
DANNY (cringing before smiling sheepishly): Sorry, it's just that usually, I don't care about the boots, but I'm going to a party later and…
BUTCH (slightly more irritated): OK, we can let it go one more time, but that's it!
Danny nods...
The hooded, axe-wielding ghost then drags Danny through the air toward the school. He quickly goes intangible.
Meanwhile, a crowd of boys in the auditorium are still excited….
DORA (speaking to the audience): Our princess must appeal to the masses. So she shall be chosen by a common boy! (begins to walk across the stage, scanning the crowd of boys) Someone average and bland.
Dash looks at her with hope. Dora walks by him, and one by-one-by she disappoints them with her comments.
DORA:(looking at Dash) Too popular. (walks to Kwan) Too athletic. (walks to Mikey) Too nerdy. (stops at Tucker) Too--
TUCKER:Handsome? (puts out his hand) Smart? Intelligent?
DORA (looking uninterested): Annoying.
Suddenly, the axe-ghost phases in head-first, still dragging Danny with extreme force.
DORA:(still in the process of selecting): Normal. Dull. Common.
But then, the axe-ghost and Danny phase totally through the stage just as Danny screams.
DORA (hearing the scream and turning her head): You!
But no one is there!
Dora bites her lower lip and shrugs helplessly.
BUTCH: CUT!
DANNY: (slightly annoyed now): What? I screamed on cue!
BUTCH: Yeah, but you were supposed to turn into Danny Fenton and land on the stage, not go through the stage!
DANNY (more annoyed): You know, Butch, this is harder than it looks. I bet you would screw up even worst than me!
BUTCH (now getting a bit more annoyed himself): Oh, I doubt it. I could show you how it's done because, you know, I do have experience with acting. And you have no idea how hard it is to direct, ready those scene sketches and…
Danny stifles a yawn. Butch frowns.
DANNY (casually): It's OK, Butch. I understand if you don't think you could handle what I have to do.
BUTCH (narrowing his eyes in mischievousness and challenge): Oh, really. You think?
DANNY (slightly scoffing with just as much mischievousness and challenge): I know!
BUTCH (determined): OK, Danny, you're on…but just don't say that I didn't warn you!
DANNY (smugly): You won't have to!
Sam and Tucker look at each other and roll their eyes.
But then, the show resumes from where it left out—that is, Dora on stage looking for a judge for the beauty show-- with a slight tweak...
DORA (gritting her teeth a bit): You're perfect!
Cut to Butch sitting on the ground as Dora comes up to him. Butch stands up as Dora puts a hand on his back. A few girls in the audience sigh before they giggle in excitement when Dora picks Butch.
DANNY (sitting in the director's chair, frowns when he sees how the girls are reacting): CUT! That's not in the script!
BUTCH (shrugging a bit): You're right, Danny. Sorry.
DANNY (frowning a bit less): Well, OK. Let's roll it! (chuckles) I always wanted to do that!
Van the Camera Man rolls his eyes but starts the camera….
The camera zooms out, revealing a ghost who turns out to be Aragon. He's dressed in a black Medieval costume, wearing a green, spiky crown and a gold amulet with a green gem in the middle of it around his neck. He's watching the scene and sees Dora picking Butch through his crystal ball.
ARAGON: Perfect indeed.
His amulet charm glows just before the scene shows his shadow on the wall as it morphs into the form of a dragon.
ARAGON: A perfect boss!
DANNY: CUT! Aragon, you're suppose to say 'A perfect pawn!", not a 'perfect boss'!
ARAGON (smiling sheepishly): I thought I said it right! But sorry about the slip, even though it is true!
Danny frowns at him and Aragon cringes.
ARAGON: Uh, sorry, but I am ready for the my next cue…
He begins laughing evilly, and Danny shrugs, because this was the correct next cue!
TAKE TWO
Fast forward to the scene when the judge picked by Dora—uh, Butch—is walking down the hall of Casper Hall with Tucker by his side.. All the girls are waiting to get his attention.
GIRLS (to Butch): Hi, Danny.
DANNY: CUT! I'm Danny!
BUTCH (surprised): What's wrong? That's in the script! Remember, I'm playing you in this scene.
DANNY (with sudden embarrassment): Uh, heh-heh, y-you're right. Sorry. Carry on. I mean, roll it.
Van the Camera Man growls slightly under his breath in frustration but activates the camera again.
Butch-as-Danny and Tucker stop walking as Paulina steps in front of them holding a tray of cookies.
PAULINA: I baked some cookies for you! (she hands Tucker the cookies and then gets a little closer to Butch)
Danny is about to object when Star then walks in from behind them holding a large stack of papers.
STAR: I did your math homework! (she, too, hands Tucker all of the papers and then snuggles up on the other side of Butch)
DANNY (almost yelling): CUT! Hey, that's not fair! According to the script, they weren't going to be that friendly to me in this scene!
BUTCH (smugly): What can I say? When you got it, you got it…and I told you so!
DANNY (mischievously): Oh, yeah? I'll make sure no one ever sees this on the show!
ENTIRE CAST: CUT!!!
A/N: Ooooh, did someone wake up cranky? Well, Danny did kind of axe for it, didn't he? *cringes* Heh-heh. In any case, hope you liked this week's contribution. Have a great week, then, and…..RED ALERT!! RED ALERT!!! OH, OH, OH!! The very same--and great--friend who graduated from college this morning (CONGRATS AGAIN!!) just happens to be the co-author of my next story, which I've been DYING to post! And NOW she has the time for us to finalize everything about the story. So that means….look out soon for that story. We will be posting it under her name, pearl84, because we had to pick one of us since FF won't let us post under both our names, and because she won the arm wrestle (you know, new grads can get that way—just kidding, pearl!) Now, I still have some bloopers up my sleeve, so don't worry yet at my stopping this fun adventure. But, darn, I also want you to take a peek at that new story. Now, my new story won't be a comedy, but I think this light-hearted adventure has helped me recover enough from all my vapors over the drama that happened in my last story, TrueHeart, to brave venturing back into drama again. But, it'll still be a little while more before we post. And, I'll give you more information as it gets nearer to being posted, which I hope is SOOON!! Sorry about the plug, but I have been waiting a LONG while to begin posting that story. And now, I can almost taste it almost happening!! And speaking of 'taste', time to celebrate everything with, why chocolate, of course! Then, *dives right into a hot fudge sundae* fhave wa dgrate week, y'all! YUM! truephan
