A/N: Hello, y'all! Did you have a great week? I certainly did, especially since I finally get to update! And what better way to start out the week with some good therapy—Spectra style, that is. She certainly is one of my fav evil ghosts, but she's also good for some laughs. And, really, I think of her and Bertrand as being a modern comedy team, especially since there really aren't any good ones around anymore. Sure, they're an evil team, but I think they are also quite funny together. So, with the 'IDNOAC' and 'Full credit to the original authors of the show' things, it's time for Chapter 34. Enjoy!
Danny Phantom Bloopers—Chapter 34—Spectra-ular Therapy
Bloopers 169 and 170
The Fright Before Christmas
(thanks to BrandyMyDog for the suggestion)
TAKE ONE
Fast forward to the scene right after Danny Phantom has destroyed all of the renegade, bewitched and attacking Christmas trees with his ghostly wail. He turns right back into Danny Fenton just before his mother finds him on the street. She brings him home.
Now, cut to the scene back at Fenton Works….and Danny is just about to leave his home once again, with Ghostwriter narrating….
GHOSTWRITER:The ghost shield deployed,
Danny turned to this thought.
To take on the spirit
he knew who had wrought
Danny morphs back into his ghost form and takes off flying.
GHOSTWRITER: this holiday mischief-
Danny then flies into the Fenton Ghost Portal.
GHOSTWRITER: -and left him the blame. Come on now, dear boy.
Here's where you call me "lame".
Cut to Danny flying with two arms in front and a tail in back by a green action background.
DANNY (yelling at the narrating voice):Give it up! You can't hide.
He finally sees the Ghostwriter's library lair, and approaches it.
DANNY:I know just where to find you.
Ghostwriter is looking outside his reddish-paneled window at Danny approaching.
GHOSTWRITER:But I'm still in control.
Ghostwriter turns to his keyboard and types rapidly.
GHOSTWRITER:Allow them to remind you.
Danny then blasts the doors of what he thinks is Ghostwriter's library lair, only to find that the inside of this lair is way different than Ghostwriter's lair.
DANNY (blinking several times in bewilderment):Them?
GHOSTWRITER:Danny asked. Then he shuddered and trembled.
Danny sees a room full of his foes: The Box Ghost, Technus, Johnny and Kitten, Youngblood in pirate form and Spectra in her supermodel form from' Doctor's Disorders', the Lunch Lady, Sidney Poindexter, Walker, Bertrand, Ember and then lastly, Skulker. But there is also a trimmed Christmas tree seen behind Walker.
Stan the Prop Man (accidentally blurts out):Whoah, wait a minute!
Everyone looks at him.
Butch (sighing): CUT! Yes, Stan?
Stan the Prop Man: Spectra! What's she doing in her supermodel form? That outfit was turned into nose goo several episodes ago.
SPECTRA (frowning in irritation): That would be snot that your props department concocted! And, thanks to you, Stan, it took me weeks to clean that outfit. And I must say that I'm quite proud of the results. And since this is Christmas, I thought it would be just the time to show it off! (then sneering) Got a problem with that? Or do you need a therapist?
STAN (raising his hands up in surrender): Uh, n-n-no, S-Spectra. I was, uh, just doing my job, you know.
BUTCH (sighing again): Now, are we ready?
Stan the Prop Man nods sheepishly and Spectra nods in defiance.
BUTCH: OK, roll it where we left off!
TAKE TWO
GHOSTWRITER:The door had brought him where all his foes were assembled.
SKULKER:We've been waiting for you. (smiles)
GHOSTWRITER:Skulker said with a grin.
THE BOX GHOST:Now our holiday party can (smiles and rubs his palms together) finally begin!
The room then brightens with lots of Christmas decorations and food. The Box Ghost, Technus, Johnny and Kitten, Captain Youngblood, Spectra in her supermodel form, Lunch Lady, Sidney Poindexter, Walker, Bertrand in his assistant form Ember, and then Skulker are all there.
SKULKER:Eat, drink, and be merry! (puts his arm closer to him to show Ember)
EMBER:(lifting the platter slightly) Have some warm Christmas goose!
THE BOX GHOST:For surely you know of our annual truce.
Danny smiles, but then the screen fades to the Ghostwriter, who soundly slams a fist down next to his keyboard before hunching over it in defeat.
GHOSTWRITER:The truce? It's still holding?
Ghostwriter stares down at his keyboard and puts his fisted hand in his hair.
GHOSTWRITER: I thought they'd dispend it!
To beat on their foe-
SKULKER:Oh, this truce, we defend it!
The scene then shows all of the ghosts in the room:
SKULKER:We don't fight on Christmas.
BERTRAND:One day of tranquility!
SPECTRA (still in her supermodel form):Come sundown (arches an eyebrow) tomorrow…
ALL: We resume all hostility!
DANNY:Every ghost holds this truce?
SKULKER:It's a fact!
Kitty, Lunch Lady, Spectra, Sidney, Walker and Ember all look rather bored.
WALKER:It's a rule.
DANNY:Well, the Ghostwriter broke it!
EMBER:That is really uncool!
The ghosts there decide to go punish Ghostwriter, but he puts a spell on them all and makes fight each other. After a struggle between all of the ghosts, Danny finally hits Walker with an orange. Because Ghostwriter cannot rhyme a word with 'orange', the spell on all the ghosts is broken. Ghostwriter is defeated and Danny destroys his keyboard. But just as Ghostwriter is being hauled away to Walker's Prison, he smugly informs Danny that this bewitched poem in which he is cannot end now that Danny has destroyed his keyboard. But the Ghostwriter also alludes to another way….
Fast forward to a defeated Danny Fenton who has returned to the Real World. As he walks along the abandoned streets littered with destroyed presents and Christmas trees, the Christmas lights on all the buildings short out as he passes them. He looks into Tucker's home before moving on.
Tucker sees him and calls Sam. Together, they search out their friend and find him sitting on a rock, obviously dejected. Sam drapes Danny's red coat over him…
TUCKER:Dude,…(sits down next to Danny) Like, it's Christmas. So why are you here?
Sam walks in front of Danny and sits down next to him. Danny turns to her.
SAM:Outside, with no friends or family near?
DANNY:It's my fault. All my fault
-what happened tonight.
I spoke out in anger and acted in spite.
I started this all when I picked that first fight.
But I'd give all I have (looks up sadly) to set everything right.
But then, the trio see the broken presents begin to float up in the air and then repair themselves before flying in several directions.
SAM:The gifts? They're not damaged?
TUCKER:They're flying through the air!
DANNY:Back where they came from? Butwho would-?
THE BOX GHOST:Beware!
Danny thinks that The Box Ghost is about to attack him and quickly transforms into Danny Phantom, ready to shot an ectoplasmic ray at the ghost. But then, he jolts in surprise when he see all the ghosts with Santa Claus hats on their heads: Kitty, Johnny, Johnny's Shadow Ghost, Youngblood, Desiree, The Box Ghost, Technus, Sidney, Lunch Lady, Skulker, and, of course, Spectra. But this time, Spectra is in her shadow form.
THE BOX GHOST:The Box Ghost shall conquer this holiday doom!
LUNCH LADY:We just couldn't leave you -to suffer in gloom!
Skulker holds up a hand with a weapon on top of it from off-screen, filling the shot.
SKULKER:Tomorrow you'll see what (puts the gun back in his suit) this baby can do!
Skulker puts down his arm and smiles.
SKULKER:But all ghosts share the truce, even half-ghosts,
Danny smiles.
SKULKER: -like you.
Suddenly, all the ghosts go to work, starting with Desiree, who conjures up her pink magic and restores all of the Christmas trees. Spectra in her shadow form grabs a tree and flies off with it, followed in like by Skulker, Youngblood, Sidney, Lunch Lady, etc., until the last tree is taken by Spectra, now in her supermodel form!
After everything is put in its place, Danny, Sam and Tucker run back to Fenton Works, which still has its Ghost Shield on. They are followed by Spectra in her supermodel form, Technus, Skulker, The Box Ghost, Desiree, and Johnny. They all stop in front of the house.
SAM:I just saw it happen,-
-but still can't believe-
-your enemies helped you repair Christmas Eve!
The shot now reveals all the ghosts just as Danny turns around. Lunch Lady, Skulker, Bertrand, Kitten, Johnny's shadow, Sidney, Spectra (this time in her shadow form), Technus, The Box Ghost, and Johnny look at the trio of friends.
STAN THE PROP MAN (turning red with frustration): Not again! What gives here, Spectra?
SPECTRA (exasperated): What?
STAN THE PROP MAN: You're switching back and forth between your shadow and supermodel forms in almost a heartbeat!
SPECTRA (sneering): Uh, that's core constriction to you. Hey, Clockwork changes form all the time and you don't say anything to him!
Stan is about to object, but then Spectra interrupts him.
SPECTRA (still growling) : OK, OK! I know it's not the same. But why are you making such a big deal out of it, anyways? In case you didn't get the memo: YOU don't look good in heels, so deal with it. And I don't want to be your therapist, get it?

Phantom Planet
(thanks to Angelus alvus)
Well, looks like Spectra strikes again with changing forms in a heartbeat, uhm, I mean, core constriction:
Fast forward shortly after Danny has gotten his powers back and he sets off to the Ghost Zone in the Fenton Jet. He begins to capture a lot of ghosts in a large net he's pulling behind the Fenton Jet. Finally, he sees the exit out of the Ghost Zone…
DANNY PHANTOM (chuckling): Awesome! I think this is going to work!
He captures almost a bazillion ghosts and thinks he's succeeded when the Fenton Jet is attacked and seriously damaged. The huge net full of ghosts is shot away from the jet.
ROBOTIC VOICE COMING FROM THE FENTON JET: Auto Eject….
DANNY PHANTOM: What?
Before the boy can do anything, he and his pilot seat are rocketed upward out of the Fenton Jet. He ends up outside and goes intangible to release himself from his pilot seat. He then turns around when he hears ghostly laughter.
All the ghosts he has captured in the net are being released. But then, Skulker is in the forefront…
SKULKER (blowing the smoke off the top of his gun): We warned you once, ghost brat!
DANNY PHANTOM (trying to avoid being grabbed by several ghosts) : Wait! Let me explain! Our worlds are linked! If mine goes, yours goes, too! I have a plan!
Just before Skulker shoots Danny, Spectra in her supermodel form is right next to him, glaring at Danny.
Danny is then shot and repelled backward until he slams into Vortex, who promptly grabs the teen and zaps him with electricity. Danny screams in pain.
DANNY PHANTOM (hunched over and hugging his aching sides before looking up): Look, I know you hate my world and wouldn't lift a finger to help it. (looking defiantly at the ghosts) But I thought you might care about saving your own!
Several ghosts then descend upon him from above. One of them is Spectra, who is -yes, you guessed it— now in the therapist form she had in 'My Brother's Keeper'!
Stan the Prop Man screams in exasperation and frustration. Butch jumps in shock at the outburst.
STAN THE PROP MAN (whining): OK, I could let that slide in 'The Fright before Christmas', but you did changed forms in barely a moment again here?
SPECTRA (now very annoyed and growling). Just what's with him, Butch? Don't you know how hard it is for girls to decide what they should be wearing? Well, I'm not any different and I couldn't decide what to wear now and in that other episode, so there you go! You have a problem with that?
Butch and Stan the Prop Man both throw their hands up in surrender and vigorously shake their heads with a vigorous 'no'.
Blooper 172
And speaking of My Brother's Keeper
Fast forward to nearly the end of the show when Spectra drags Danny Phantom into the storage closet right after Danny has rescued Jazz from the laser beam crossfire on the stage at Casper High.
SPECTRA: Look at you….
Danny tries to aim the Fenton thermos at her, but she bats it out of his hands and grabs him by the head and neck.
SPECTRA: What are you?...
There's a close up of Danny's head and even if that shot is very brief, it's clear that Spectra's hands are off of him, but right back on in the very next shot.
SPECTRA: …A ghost trying to fit in with the humans or a creepy little boy with creepy little powers?
STAN THE PROP MAN (blurting out): She did it again!
SPECTRA (suddenly angrier than she was in the scene): I didn't change forms at all in this scene-well, not yet-but that in the script!
BUTCH (trying to calm the two): She has a point, there, Stan! She doesn't change until Jazz shoots her with the 'Fenton Peeler'.
STAN THE PROP MAN (whining again): I'm not talking about that! She took her hands off of Danny in that close up!
BUTCH (under his breath): If he weren't such a great prop man…
But he is interrupted by Spectra.
SPECTRA (quite irritated): I swear, Butch, if he does this to me again, I may zap him with just more than the 'Fenton Peeler'!
Stan the Prop Man cringes but Spectra continues…
SPECTRA (still irritated): Oh, all right! So WHAT if I took my hands off of him? It was just for a second. I had just polished my nails before this scene and took every opportunity to check to see if they had dried yet!
Bloopers 173 and 174
Doctor's Disorders
(deleted scene)
Fast forward to the scene where all the parents of the high school students bitten by ghostly mosquitoes are gathered at the entrance of Casper High. The high school has a "Quarantine-Keep Out" and "Do Not Cross" banners draped over the entrance. Maddie, Jack and Danny are among the crowd. Mr. Falluca is barring the front entrance.
MADDIE:Why can't we see our children, Mr. Falluca? This is outrageous! They're sick! They need us!
MR. FALLUCA: Well, I understand your concern, folks. But I have been instructed not to disseminate any information at this time.
MADDIE (irritated): But you're a teacher. It's your job to disseminate information!
JACK (crying): Poor Jazz. She's always been my favorite!
Jack blows his nose with a handkerchief and then hands it to Danny.
JACK: Here you go, Danny. Don't lose this. It was your grandfather's.
DANNY (gingerly holding the soiled handkerchief with two fingers): Blech!
TUCKER: (calling) Hey, Danny, check this out!
DANNY: (walking over to Tucker) What's up?
TUCKER: (holding out his hand and producing a ghost mosquito) Got another one of them.
DANNY: (alarmed) Tucker! Get rid of that thing!
TUCKER (pointing to bug in his hand): No, no! Look! It won't bite me or phase into my skin or anything!
DANNY: That's weird. I figured my ghost powers were protecting me. What's protecting you?
They both look at each other with the sudden idea and point both fingers at each other.
DANNY and TUCKER (in unison): Tucker! By Tucker Foley!
DANNY: Wow, it's not just repelling, it's a repellant!
A moment later, a doctor dressed up in scrubs with yellow teeth and red goggles on -who turns out to be Bertrand-comes out of some double doors of a high school room..
BERTRAND: Hello, people. My name is Doctor Bert Rand.
MADDIE: Are you from the government's disease control center?
BERTRAND: Sure. Let's go with that. I can assure you that your children are in good hands and will be transferred to the creepy abandoned hospital on the edge of town.
The scene moves to the creepy abandoned hospital on the edge of town. Lightning bolts shoot behind it.
MADDIE: Under quarantine?
BERTRAND: Yes, let's go with that, too!
JACK: Oh, yeah? And just why should we trust you?
BERTRAND: Because I'm from the government and I can audit your taxes if you don't.
JACK: We trust you.
DANNY: (to Tucker) Well, I don't trust him. Sam and Jazz are in that hospital and we got to find out what's going on.
TUCKER: Have a good time!
Tucker begins to walk away.
DANNY (irritated and turning toward his friend): Tucker, I said 'we'!
TUCKER (frowning): You also said 'hospital'.
DANNY: Humph! I go invisible. I go ghost. I'll be in an out in no time. Just watch!
The next scene shows Spectra standing by the hospital's sign, that is: 'NORTH MERCY HOSPITAL'. She is about to go in when she spies a few wayward mosquitoes flying nearby.
SPECTRA: OK, little bugs! You're supposed to be in the hospital now.
But instead of obeying her, the tiny swarm of mosquitoes attack her! A fight ensues and Spectra seems to be the victor when she spies three more mosquitoes alit the North Mercy Hospital sign, posed to attack her again. But she is quicker than they and zaps them where they are. As a result, the 'R', 'T', and 'H' in 'NORTH' are shaken loose but stay in place.
Fast forward to the scene which show the close up of the hospital sign just as Danny and Tucker are approaching the hospital. The "R," "T," and "H" finally fall off and the sign now reads 'NO MERCY HOSPITAL'.
BUTCH: CUT! Jan, we'll have to cut the fight scene with Spectra and the bugs because of time. But, let's keep this last scene in anyways, OK?
JAN THE EDIT MAN: OK, boss!
A/N: And, of course, that part where the letters fall off really was in the show! But now, you know how it happened! *winks* I just couldn't resist the temptation! In any case, have a great week, gang! And now, you know where to put that blue button—right under your finger! truephan
