A/N: Well, I'm back—just like a bad penny! And speaking of that, it's time for a little change up. That is, a little bit of this and a little bit of that add up to a mighty big sweet chapter! In any case, you know the routine: IDNOAC and Full credit to the original writers of the show for original or near original dialogue. Here is Chapter 38. Enjoy!

Danny Phantom Bloopers—Chapter 38—Change-Up

Now a bit more of those "Not really bloopers, but they sure are 'Cute-Little-Background-Props-That-You-Probably-Didn't-Notice-Until-I-Just-Told-You-About-Them-Right-Now'!

What You Want

Cut to the scene when Mr. Lancer goes and gets a drink of water from the water fountain at Casper High. Tucker has been already granted the wish to be a ghost boy and is about to squirt some water from the water fountain into Mr. Lancer's face and then fool with his pants and tie. But if you look closely, there's a poster right in front of the water fountain that says: "Read. Don't be an Idiot'.

Reign Storm (thanks to Echoheart's sharp eyes)

Cut to the scene right after Dash finds out that Danny stuffed his locker with rolls of Fenton toilet paper. Dash charges after Danny and Danny runs toward the cafeteria. Look fast: Once the scene fades to the cafeteria with two nerds playing some kind of strange card-war game, there's a sign hanging over the serving line which reads: 'This Week: Ultra-Recyclo-Vegetarian'. And, by the way, you're right, Echoheart. *scratches head* Why didn't the Lunch Lady get angry about it this time?

The Ultimate Enemy (once again, thanks to Echoheart)

Cut to the scene when Danny first charges from the future after Vlad has helped him remove his time medallion using the Ghost Gauntlets. He is armed and ready to attack Evil Dan and is able to get in the first blow against his evil future self. But then, Evil Dan retaliates and is able to knock him down to the ground. Shortly after that, Evil Dan is ready to really give Danny the 'what for' and quickly replicates himself into four. But then, look hard—and fast. Shortly after replicating, all four of Evil Dan's duplicates pull their arms back into a fist in order to deliver a combined mighty blow to Danny. But the Evil Dan on the upper left hand side of the screen's and the Evil Dan on the lower right hand side of the screen's 'DP' emblems are backwards in that shot!

Torrent of Terror

Cut to the first scene in Amity Park near the beginning of the show. There is a heat wave in the city and Mayor Vlad Masters is speaking to the citizens about Amity Park's 'State of Emergency' before promising them that the weather will be fixed by his using a 'Rain Machine', which is really the Observants' Spectral Barometer. When Danny complains why they are even there listening to Vlad, Tucker tells him that they are there because Danny's dad is Vlad's biggest supporter. Then, the scene switches to Jack who's wearing a very tacky t-shirt that says : I (heart) V. And there are three signs behind him which read: 'The V-man Cometh', 'Real Men Wear Ponytails' and 'In Vlad We Trust'.

And speaking of Torrent of Terror….

Did you remember Melinda the Champion Expectant Mom?

Yep, you guessed it! She's in here, too. She is seen only from the upper chest up, but I would like to think she's still a mom-to-be. But in case you didn't see her, she's to the far right of the crowd that is listening to Mayor Masters in his "State of Emergency' speech early in the show.

And speaking of gizmos, it's time for more of those Rejected Ghost Props with the Final Versions that Won Out Thingy (along with when that gizmo or thing first showed up in the series)…

TAKE ONE

Cut to the scene where Danny first encounters his alternate universe father after Danny has 'fixed' the future. Jack's face is covered in ecto-acne. He also has short hair and graying temples.

JACK: (angrily): Nobody trespasses on Jack Fenton's property!

DANNY (trying to calm him): Dad! Relax!

JACK (shocked): Dad? I don't have a son! I'm single. Bitterly, bitterly single!

DANNY : You are? Geez, that explains…almost everything!

JACK (angrily again): What?

DANNY (hurriedly): Uh, nothing! Uh, is that ecto-acne?

JACK (absent-mindedly): It's a condition… (then glares angrily at Danny again)…that you shouldn't know about! (even angrier and grabs Danny by his shoulders) How do you know about ecto-acne? (angrily pulls Danny up to his eye level). TALK!

DANNY (irritated): I'm…your…son! I know all about the accident in Wisconsin…years ago…That….shouldn't have happened.

JACK (upset): Oh, it happened all right. (throws Danny down onto the ground). And my life went right down the flusher from that day on!

Jack then morphs into…..into… uh, uh, Jack Plasmius? In any case, he attacks Danny even as Danny protests. Danny then has to escape to try to find his mom in order to get to a ghost portal.

He meets his alternate mom who turns out to be married to Vlad Masters. During the entire time that he is talking with the couple, Vlad is dressed in a blue shirt and black pants. His shirt is rolled up short and he has a red sweater with its sleeves tied around his neck.

Fast forward to the late-at-night scene where Danny Phantom had been searching his alternative mother's home for a portal to try to get back to Clockwork when Danny has just been caught by his alternate mom with her 'Maddie Weasel'.

Danny groans as he comes to and sees his alternate mom leaning over him in her full blue hazmat suit …

MADDIE (with fake sweetness): Oh, you're awake? GOOD! I have some questions for you.

Danny then gasps when he sees he is tied down spread eagle onto a lab table. There is a large contraption directly above him.

MADDIE (more threateningly): Let's start with: Who are you and why are you snooping around my secret lab?

She pulls out a pen-like laser device and aims it at him.

DANNY (alarmed): Wait! What are you doing?

Maddie fires a green laser beam and slowly draws it nearer Danny's right arm.

DANNY (panicking): Stop!

MADDIE (smugly): Oooh, scream all you want, ghost. This lab is totally sound-proof. It has to be, or else my husband would find out about it. (with a suddenly demanding tone) Now I ask you again. Who are you?

DANNY (slightly hesitantly): I'm…your son!

Maddie gasps in shock.

DANNY (continuing). Yours and Jack Fenton's!

MADDIE (still in shock but now angry and indignant): Liar! I haven't seen Jack Fenton in years. He blamed me for the accident that gave him his powers. Vlad told me so. We ran away here to escape his ghostly wrath!

DANNY : What? That's insane! He's still totally in love with you!

Danny and Maddie suddenly turn toward a voice.

JACK: It's true, Maddie.

Jack, uhm, Plasmius phases through the ceiling before rematerializing.

JACK: It's always been true.

Once more, Maddie gasps in shock.

MADDIE: Jack? But Vlad told me that you never wanted to see me again.

JACK: I never stopped wanting to see you, Maddie. I just couldn't face you… (suddenly morphs back to being human again, only that now he is wearing a white lab coat over his orange hazmat jumpsuit, and has long, black hair and a mullet with ecto-acne on his face!)…as the thing you despise: a ghost.

Stan the Prop Man—now with a rather large black eye- gasps loudly in chagrin. But that makes some pain shoot through his eye and he immediately places a hand over the injured eye.

The cast and crew look at him.

Butch, of course, also notices…

BUTCH: (slightly annoyed) Cut! What is it this time, Stan?

STAN THE PROP MAN (irritated a bit): Jack should have short hair, graying temples and…..( suddenly changes his mind this time about his outburst when he sees Van's annoyed glare ) Uh, I mean, nothing! Nothing! Sorry, Butch…everyone.

BUTCH (calmer): Well, OK. Let's continue where we left off, which is Jack… (adding a bit sarcastically) wearing a lab coat and a mullet….. saying: 'I never stopped wanting to see you, Maddie. I just couldn't face you as the thing you despise: a ghost.' OK, everyone. Quiet on the set…..Roll it!

TAKE TWO

JACK: But I had to come….(pulls out Danny's wallet with the picture of the Fenton family in it)…..because of this.

Maddie grabs the wallet and looks at the picture. Then tears form under her eyes.

MADDIE: A family…with you? Oh, Jack!

Danny smiles.

Maddie then gives Jack a big—but brief—hug. After pulling away from him, she then turns and quickly walks back up to Danny Phantom, who is still strapped spread eagle on the table.

MADDIE (to Danny): And that's why you called me 'mom' at the door! (quickly releasing Danny from his bonds) And you must be our son from an alternate timeline!

Maddie and Jack both then hug Danny.

DANNY (thinking to himself): The one good thing about having scientists as parents…..Alternative timeline, totally valid excuse!

JACK (picking up wallet and pointing to Danny's picture of his family) : So, where is our alternate-timeline daughter, Davy?

DANNY: Uh, it's Danny.

JACK: It's still dumb.

DANNY (chuckling in slight embarrassment): Heh-heh, that's a little complicated. (suddenly bringing his hand forward). Uh, can I now have my wallet back? This scene never explains what happened to it, and you keep forgetting to give it to me during rehearsals.

BUTCH: CUT! DANNY!

DANNY (cringing and chuckling nervously): Heh-heh, uh, sorry? But I got my wallet back!

TAKE THREE

JACK: But I had to come….(pulls out Danny's wallet with the picture of the Fenton family in it)…..because of this.

Maddie grabs the wallet and looks at the picture. Then tears form under her eyes.

MADDIE: A family…with you? Oh, Jack!

Danny smiles.

Maddie then gives Jack a big—but brief—hug. After pulling away from him, she then turns and quickly walks back up to Danny Phantom, who is still strapped spread eagle on the table.

MADDIE (to Danny): And that's why you called me 'mom' at the door! (quickly releasing Danny from his bonds) And you must be our son from an alternate timeline!

Maddie and Jack both then hug Danny.

DANNY (thinking to himself): The one good thing about having scientists as parents…..Alternative timeline, totally valid excuse!

JACK (picking up wallet and pointing to Danny's picture of his family) : So, where is our alternate-timeline daughter, Davy?

DANNY: Uh, it's Danny.

JACK: It's still dumb.

DANNY (chuckling in slight embarrassment): Heh-heh, that's a little complicated.

MADDIE (already on a computer keyboard and rapidly typing): Clockwork, right?

She pulls up a screen which displays a profile sheet on Clockwork.

DANNY: (amazed) Wow, you're good.

MADDIE (walking up to the portal before immediately opening it): You really don't think I spend all my nights coming up with cheese recipes, do you?

JACK (happily): Oh, Maddie, just think! In another universe, we have two children to embarrass in that timeline.

Danny begins to walk toward the portal when, suddenly, there is another voice and some green material is shot at him. He ducks and it barely misses him and hits the open portal

VLAD (very irritated): Let's focus on what you're doing in this universe, shall we?

Maddie and Jack gasp.

The shot then focuses on Vlad holding the Ecto-Foamer. He is no longer in a casual outfit or in pajamas, but is fully dressed in his entire black suit.

VLAD (irritated): I knew that….

But suddenly, a loud exasperated groan explodes out of Stan the Prop Man. The entire crew jump in shock.

STAN THE PROP MAN (with a shrill voice) : I can't take it anymore! Not one, but two bloopers with the mess up of the outfits so far in this show! I don't seem to have the control over the props and costumes anymore!

VLAD (flippantly): So what? Spectra did the same thing over and over again. Does she think she's the only one who has a market on switching costumes?

JACK (piping in): Yeah….what he said!

Butch groans.

A/N: Heh-heh, Stan the Prop Man just won't learn, will he? Oh, well….And, OH! Before I forget, I'm going out of town next week-end, so my next update won't be until two weeks from today. Will you miss me? Well, if you will, please vote 'yes' for that with that little blue button below. And if you won't miss me, vote 'no' with that same little blue button. I won't mind! *winks*. In any case, Godspeed to y'all and hope to e-see you in two weeks! truephan
