The next day, Danny laid down in the middle of the dessert unconscious. He was so dehydrated and tired from all that running without any food or water, suddenly three ghost vultures began to circle him and landed and were about to begin to eat him until…
"YAHHH!" A 14 year old African American boy named Tucker Foley and a huge yeti like ghost named Frostbite came charging at them, scaring the vultures away.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Tucker shouted as they scared the last ones off.
The two then laughed as Frostbite said, "I love this bowling for buzzards!"
"Gets them every time" Tucker said.
Frostbite then looked down at the fallen boy and noticed him breathing, he then alerted Tucker, "Tucker! You better come look, I think he's still alive"
Tucker looked at him in confusion and then walked over to take a look at Danny, he pressed his fingers on his wrist to look for a pulse, he then jumped when he watched as Danny turned ghost for a second and then back to a human.
"WOAH! Did you see that?" Tucker asked in amazement. He then asked, "What is he?"
Frostbite looked at him and suddenly he felt the presence of ghost energy coming from him, he then answered, "This boy is half ghost. I can feel the energy coming from him and can sense he has ice powers as well. Poor guy! He must be all alone. Let's help him"
"Your right. Pick him up and we'll get him some water and that, he's seriously dehydrated" Tucker said.
Frostbite nodded and picked up Danny bridal style and they ran back towards their home. They placed him near a small pond that had water, under some trees to provide some shade from the boiling sun. Tucker first placed some water in his mouth and then splashed some water on his face, Danny groaned and then woke up and looked at his saviours.
"You okay dude?" Tucker asked.
"I think so" Danny answered, his voice was a little bit hoarse.
"You nearly died" Frostbite said.
"I saved ya" Tucker said. Frostbite then growled at him and then Tucker said, "Alright we both did"
"Thanks for your help" Danny said as he looked down sadly and began to walk back into the dessert.
"Where you going?" Tucker asked in confusion. Danny then answered, "Nowhere" and continued to walk away.
Frostbite and Tucker finally noticed that he wasn't exactly happy, so they walked up to him to investigate.
"What's going on kid? Oh and what's your name?" Frostbite asked.
"It's Danny" Danny answered not looking up.
"So where you from?" Tucker asked.
"Who cares? I can't go back anyway" Danny answered.
"So you're an outcast, we are too. What did you do?" Frostbite asked.
"Something terrible, but I don't want to talk about it" Danny answered remembering his father.
"Anything we can do to help?" Tucker asked.
"Not unless you can change the past" Danny said.
Tucker then put an arm around his shoulder and said, "Listen dude, you gotta put your past behind you. Look bad things happen and you can't do anything about it. So when the world turns its back on you, you turn your back on the world"
"That's not what I was taught" Danny said.
Frostbite and Tucker then smiled at each other, Tucker then said, "Then maybe you need a new lesson. Repeat after me, Hakuna Matata"
Danny then looked confused and asked, "What?"
"Hakuna Matata. It means now worries" Frostbite clarified.
TUCKER
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
FROSTBITE
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
TUCKER
It means no worries for the rest of your days
(Danny began to smile a bit as he followed them back into the jungle)
TUCKER AND FROSTBITE
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
"Hakuna Matata?" Danny asked once more.
"Yep it's our motto and you know what? Those two words will solve all your problems" Frostbite said.
Tucker nodded his head in agreement and gestured to Frostbite as he said, "That's right take Frostbite for example"
TUCKER
Why, when he was a young yeti
FROSTBITE
When I was a young yeti
TUCKER
(In the past, as Frostbite walked to the watering hole he froze accidently froze the ground causing a lot of people to slip over)
He found his aroma lacked a certain appeal
He could freeze the savannah after every meal
FROSTBITE
(Frostbite began to drink the water, but when he touched it the water instantly froze over causing all the ghost and people to get a brain freeze! They all then ran away from him)
I'm a sensitive soul though I seem thick-skinned
And it hurt that my friends never stood downwind
And oh, the shame
TUCKER
He was ashamed
FROSTBITE
Thought of changing' my name
TUCKER
What's in a name?
FROSTBITE
And I got downhearted
TUCKER
How did ya feel?
FROSTBITE
Every time that I…
TUCKER AND FROSTBITE
Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
(Frostbite froze a bit of the ground and the two began to ice skate, Danny smiled at the two and thought that maybe he could still be happy and that Tucker's words were true)
DANNY
It means no worries for the rest of your days
ALL
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Tucker and Frostbite then showed Danny their house and the entire jungle from the balcony of it.
"Well this is our home" Tucker said as Danny gazed at the horizon in wonder at the sights.
"This is amazing" Danny said.
The three then walked around the jungle, Tucker fiddled around with his PDA as they walked. Frostbite then exclaimed, "Well I say it's about time for lunch!"
"I'm so hungry I could eat a whole bunch of cheeseburgers" Danny said.
"Ah sorry man no cheeseburgers. But don't worry there's definitely food here" Tucker said as he gestured to the fruits in the trees and then Frostbite lifted up a log to show many different glowing bugs.
"Um what's that Frostbite?" Danny asked curiously.
"My lunch, ghost bugs. Want some?" Frostbite as he chewed on a grub.
Danny shook his head quickly and said, "EW! GROSS!"
Frostbite then picked up some more bugs and placed them on a leaf, he offered them to Danny and said, "Listen you can eat fruits like Tucker, but these bugs can help replenish your ghost half. Just try one"
Danny picked up a bug and said, "Oh well Hakuna Matata"
He then ate it, he cringed in disgust at first but then said, "Huh not that bad"
Tucker just cringed in disgust and stuck with his banana. Six years went by and Danny grew into a fine man, he also became stronger with his ghost form, Tucker also grew into a fine man as well. Danny's hair remained the same except his bangs were a little bit longer and he now wore a red t-shirt with a black jacket, dark blue jeans and red tennis shoes, his ghost form changed as well (A/N For Danny's new ghost form, check out Butch Hartman's video on what he designs Danny as 10 years later or Deviantart and look up Amethyst-Ocean). Tucker still had his red beret, but he now wore a yellow long-sleeved t-shirt with a brown vest over it and brown cargo pants with cargo boots.
ALL
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna matata!
Hakuna Matata! Hakuna-
DANNY
It means no worries for the rest of your days
ALL
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
AUTHORS NOTE:
This was another fun chapter for me to write, this was one of my favourite Disney songs from my childhood. I hope you enjoy it.
As I mentioned before, if you want to see what Danny and Tucker looks like now go to Deviantart and look up Amethyst-Ocean, or for just Danny you can also check out Butch Hartman's video on YouTube when he drew the characters on what he think they would look like 10 years later.
In other news, the next chapter of The Phantom Twins: Season 1 will be uploaded tomorrow or Thursday so stay tuned!
