BEAUTY MARKED
All the students were gathered in the school's auditorium for a special announcement, they all watched as a woman with blonde hair, wearing a blue dress with gloves and a large green ring come onto the stage.
"Girls, do you dream of being a princess?" The woman asked.
All the girls squealed in excitement, but Sam muttered, "No"
"Of wearing beautiful gowns and jewellery?" The woman asked. Sam muttered again, "No"
"Of charming that special prince?" The woman asked. Sam muttered, "And gag"
"I'm Dora Mattingly and I want to make sure that dream comes true for one of you sweet young ladies" Dora said. She then pulled on a rope and a banner that read Miss Teenage Happy Princess Beauty Pageant. "That's why I'm bringing my Miss Teenage Happy Princess Beauty Pageant right here to your school"
"I hate this more than I hate the morning sun" Sam said frowning.
"What's wrong with beauty pageants?" Tucker asked.
"Other than the fact that they turn girls into shallow doormats and boys into drooling idiots? Everything" Sam answered.
"I kind of agree with Sam. I don't think a girl needs to enter a contest to make her special" Andrew commented.
"But it's got a swimsuit competition!" Tucker exclaimed with excitement.
"I need a worthy and chivalrous knight to select our princess" Dora announced and then all the boys in the auditorium including Tucker stood up to volunteer.
"Man Danny would love this" Tucker said. "Where are Danny and Dayla anyway?"
The answer to Tucker's question was outside where Danny and Dayla were in the air in their ghost forms, fighting some sort of medieval executioner ghost with an axe. He took a few swings at Dayla but missed and then tried slicing Danny in half, but he duplicated quickly and dodged.
"Hey! If you needed something you should just axe!" Danny shouted as he called back his duplicate. "Get it axe!"
"Oh man! That is just really funny" Dayla burst out laughing.
The ghost then through a hangman's noose and grabbed both their feet with it, they yelped as he started dragging them back towards the school turning intangible phasing into the building. Meanwhile all the boys were still waving their arms around in the auditorium, hoping that Dora would pick one of them.
"Our princess must appeal to the masses, so she shall be selected by a common boy" Dora announced. "Someone average and bland"
She walked across the stage looking at all the boys, but shook her head at some of them and commented, "Too popular. Too athletic. Too nerdy. Too…"
"Handsome? Smart? Intelligent?" Tucker asked as she stopped in front of him.
"Annoying" She said with a groan and then continued to look.
The ghost dragging Danny and Dayla phased through the roof of the auditorium with them still in tow, they felt a bit weak that they changed back into the human forms and as the ghost phased through the floor he let them go and they fell on the stage.
"You young man! You're perfect!" Dora exclaimed as she noticed Danny and then helped him stand up.
They were all unaware that a ghost was watching them from a crystal ball, he had purple and black medieval royal clothing on, a green crown and some sort of amulet with an eye on the emerald part. His name was Aragon and he smiled evilly at the crystal ball.
"Perfect indeed" He said. He suddenly then transformed into a black and purple dragon and exclaimed, "A perfect pawn!"
"HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!"
The next day at Casper High, there were so many banners up around the halls about the beauty pageant and as Danny, Tucker and Andrew walked through the halls they noticed that all the girls were flirting with Danny.
Paulina then came up to him with a plate of cookies and said, "I baked some cookies for you"
Star then came up behind him holding a large handful of papers and said, "I did your math homework"
"Now ladies you can't influence the judge with cookies and… whoa! Is this homework done all the way through next semester?" Danny asked in amazement.
Star nodded with a grin. Danny smiled and said, "This pleases me"
Suddenly he was picked up by his shirt by none other than an angry Dash Baxter who snapped, "Hey Fenturd! It's only been two hours and I'm tired of you hogging all the hotties!"
Danny however was not phased at all and simply snapped his fingers and then suddenly Paulina kicked him in the back of his leg, causing him to yelp in pain and release Danny and then suddenly all the girls started chasing him down the hallway ready to attack him for trying to hurt the judge.
"It's like a dream! Every girl totally wants to date me and Danny" Tucker said in excitement.
"Wait you and Danny?" Andrew asked. Tucker answered, "Hey as judges best pal, I'm entitled to a little spill over"
A girl named Ashley came up them and then Tucker asked looking through his PDA to get her name, "Want to go out Ashley?"
"Yeah right" She scoffed. Tucker then pointed out, "I'm the judge's best friend"
Her attitude then changed to a smile and she said, "I'll pick you up at seven"
She then walked away. Tucker then began scrolling through his PDA to see who else is available, but then stopped when he saw that Sam and Dayla were on the list of contestants. Danny and Andrew then saw.
"Sam? Dayla?" They all asked in unison.
"Yes Sam and Dayla. We both signed up for the stupid pageant" Sam groaned as she stood beside Dayla.
The whole school gasped at that but then Tucker and Danny started laughing as Danny asked, "Sam what is this April Fool's Day?"
"Yeah! You hate this contest" Tucker pointed out. Sam answered while pulling down on Tucker's hat, "I'm not doing this to win. I'm doing this to make a statement"
"Okay but Dayla why are you doing this?" Andrew asked.
Dayla then began telling them…
FLASHBACK AFTER THE ASSEMBLY
Dayla was at her locker putting away her books, when Paulina and Star came up and threw their cups of orange juice straight onto her shirt. Mr Lancer saw this and shook his head.
He then heard Paulina say to her, "Hope you're not thinking of signing up for the beauty pageant freak!"
Star laughed, "Yeah! It's bad enough we have to see your ugly face around the school, but to see it on a stage would be so embarrassing for you!"
"So glad your freaky boyfriend isn't around. I still don't see why he would date someone as ugly and freaky as you!" Paulina laughed.
"Don't you girls have anything better to do than make me miserable?!" Dayla growled and then slammed her locker shut and headed for the girl's bathroom to clean up.
Mr Lancer was really angry at how they treated her, but then he smiled as he thought of an idea. She made sure no one was in there and then intangibly phased the fruit drink off her clothes, she then left the bathroom but then stopped as she walked right into Mr Lancer who was waiting for her outside the bathroom.
"Sorry Mr Lancer" Dayla said.
Mr Lancer chuckled and said, "That's alright Ms Fenton. Can you please come to my office? I want to have a word with you"
She nodded and followed him to his office and sat down on the chair in front of his desk. He then took his seat and sighed, "Dayla I saw what happened with Paulina and Star in the hallway. I thought I should let you know that nothing they say is true. You are a very beautiful young lady and you are certainly not a freak"
"But that's the thing Mr Lancer. Telling them is one thing, but proving them wrong is another. I just don't know how I'm supposed to get them off my back" Dayla sighed.
"Hmmm. I think I might just have an idea" Mr Lancer said. "It's completely up to you, but I think you should enter the beauty pageant"
"The beauty pageant?" Dayla asked. He nodded, "I know your brother is the judge but, I believe that maybe you can win and even if you don't at least you have made the effort to prove those girls wrong"
"I don't know about this" She said. Mr Lancer then said, "Dayla beauty isn't just about what appears on the outside, beauty is also about what's inside. Beauty can come in many different ways, you just have to find it"
She then thought about it really hard and then answered, "Okay I'll do it"
"I'll see Dora Mattingly and sign you up. I wish you all the very best of luck" He said.
END OF FLASHBACK
"And that's why I'm in the pageant. I'm gonna prove Paulina and Star wrong" Dayla finished.
Andrew hugged her and said, "Dayla you don't need to prove anything. I as your boyfriend think you are very pretty, but I'll right there to support you"
"Thanks Andrew" Dayla said with a smile.
"Uh Dayla are you sure you want to do this?" Danny asked.
"I'm sure" She answered with determination. Sam then said, "Then you got my support as well, but I'm still gonna make a statement"
A couple of hours later, Sam and Dayla were out on the football field with all the other girls who were entering the contest.
"Well here's a statement, it says 'I'll never win in this outfit'" Dora said while gesturing to Sam.
Sam and Dayla frowned at Dora's insult. Dora then continued, "Still Miss Manson has a point. You girls are unique individuals with strong opinions and independent minds"
"You're darn right we are!" Sam exclaimed.
"It's my job to make you forget that and mould you all into happy little princesses" Dora finished and then all the girls except Sam and Dayla cheered.
"Uh Miss Mattingly, are you aware that there is an ugly freak named Dayla Fenton in this contest?" Paulina snickered.
Her and Star started laughing and Dayla growled in response. Dora then said, "Now Miss Sanchez, every girl should have a chance in this contest so please refrain yourself from doing any teasing"
They all started by walking with books on their heads, although Sam and Dayla were just reading theirs but they became distracted that they bumped into each other and then caused a whole domino effect with the other girls knocking them all to the ground. Tucker, Andrew and Danny were watching the girls train from the bleachers.
"Let's see. I'm dating her Friday…" Danny began. Tucker then said, "Dating her Saturday"
And then they both said in unison, "Dating her Sunday"
When they realised they were both gonna date the same girl, they tried rock, paper, scissors to see who would actually date her on Sunday and Tucker won.
"Ha! Dating her Sunday" Tucker said with a grin.
Suddenly Danny and Dayla's ghost senses went off and then from the bleachers the same medieval executioner ghost that attacked them the other day was back.
"If we live that long! Can we do this when I'm a little less popular?!" Danny exclaimed and then jumped in the hole where the ghost came from and changed into his ghost form.
Dayla quickly excused herself from Dora's training which she happily accepted and ran behind the bleachers and changed into her ghost form, she then caught up with Danny and they both fired a combined ecto blast right into the ghost's back. Meanwhile all the girls were showing off their best smiles for Dora, but when it was Sam's turn she smiled and showed she had vampire fangs, Dora screamed in fright and then took Sam's fake vampire teeth off of her.
Danny and Dayla continued fighting the ghost, the ghost swung it's axe in an attempt to slice them in half, but missed as they both ducked down and instead cut a large tree in half, the tree started to fall and it was about to crush two boys from the school, Danny and Dayla acted quickly and grabbed onto both of them. They turned them intangible and the tree fell harmlessly through them, they then pulled them out and went back to fight the ghost, only to discover the ghost was no longer there.
Danny went back to the bleachers with Tucker and Andrew while Dayla returned back to Dora's pageant training, she was paired up with Star and Sam was paired up with Paulina and all of them had to do each other's make up. Dayla did a pretty good job on Star's face, but Star with a snicker deliberately ruined her makeup, but before she could say anything they both heard screaming coming from Paulina and Sam, Dayla laughed to see that Sam had given Paulina a Gothic make over and Paulina had given Sam a full make over.
After cleaning the makeup off their faces, all the girls were practicing walking in a straight line. Dayla had accidently tripped over her feet and fell onto Sam which caused her to step on Dora's foot. Dora yelped in pain and then growled, but Sam and Dayla suddenly saw her face become all dragon like and then normal. Dora shrugged it off and then walked off frowning.
The next day at lunch Dayla and Sam were sitting at a table with Danny trying to tell him about what they saw.
"I'm telling you, there was something weird about Dora Danny" Dayla said.
"Hmmmhmm" Danny said just smiling. Sam then persisted with a whisper, "Ghostly weird"
"Yeah. Oh that's good" Danny said not really paying attention, instead focusing on Star giving him a massage.
"Gee I'm so glad we could have this little talk" Sam said sarcastically and then she and Dayla left.
Danny got up and walked with them as he said, "Girls look, whatever it is we will handle it when this little window of popularity is over. But right now I have important judge duties to attend to"
He then sat down next to Paulina, but then suddenly Danny and Dayla's ghost senses went off and then everyone was running and screaming when a medieval archer ghost appeared in the room and started firing arrows. He fired some arrows at Danny and Dayla, they both jumped behind the cardboard princess and used it as a shield and then changed into their ghost forms. They came out ready to fight when two arrows came straight for them, they both managed to catch them in their hands.
"HA!" They both exclaimed, but then stopped smiling when they saw the ends of them had sticks of dynamite on them. "OH NO!"
The dynamite exploded and sent them right into the wall, all the students continued to scream and run out of the cafeteria.
Paulina stopped for a second and said, "I'm still totally into you ghost boy, but I can't let Danny Fenton know. He's the judge"
She then screamed and right out of the cafeteria. Danny and Dayla then fired a combined ecto blast and sent him straight out of the school building and crashing onto the football field.
"Dude your seriously cutting into my very limited, girls are firing with me time" Danny said as he and Dayla continued to fire ecto blasts at the ghost.
The ghost dodged all the blasts and then fired some arrows at them, Danny pushed Dayla out of the way and the arrows snatched onto his suit and pinned him to the wall. Dayla growled and phased into the ground, she then appeared behind the ghost and took his quiver of arrows off his back.
"Ha! You're not so tough without your arrows!" Dayla exclaimed with a laugh.
The ghost however hit her on the head with his bow and then grabbed her by her collar, he then used her for an arrow and fired her straight for the building. Before she could hit the wall, she turned intangible and phased through the walls and crashed landed right onto the back stage of the auditorium. She felt weak from using all her energy and phased back into her human form.
Back outside Danny growled in anger and phased out of the arrows and charged straight for the ghost shouting, "NOBODY HURTS MY SISTER LIKE THAT!"
But then ghost punched him in the gut stopping his attack, he held his stomach in pain and then the ghost punched him right in the face sending him crashing into the stairs of the back building. He held his stomach in pain as he changed back into his human form and watched as the ghost flew away.
"I don't know why these spooks are going all medieval on us, but I'm gonna find out" Danny said. Suddenly two girls came behind and greeted him friendly, "Hi Danny"
"As soon as this pageant is over" He said with a smile as they helped him up.
Back in the auditorium Sam and Andrew came in and found Dayla on the ground groaning. They both gasped and helped her get up.
"Dayla are you okay?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine" She answered.
Sam suddenly heard something from in front of the curtain and shushed them, they all quietly looked from the side of the stage and saw Dora talking to someone on her ring.
"You see? The boy is distracted. The ring masks me from his ghost own and his sister's ghost sense, he suspects nothing" Dora said happily.
"Which is more I can say for the Goth girl and his sister!" Aragon shouted angrily. "Perhaps next time you should just walk up to them and scream 'I'M A GHOST!'"
"Please! Please forgive me brother! I didn't think" She pleaded. He then shouted, "You're not supposed to think! You're supposed to be keeping them away from the ghost boy until show time! So do it! Even if you have to kidnap the ghost girl!"
The next night was the pageant, it was about ten minutes to show time and all the girls were finally ready for it. Tucker and Danny sighed that this would be the last night that they would be popular with all the girls.
"Wait. Let's savour our last few moments of dateablilty. I'm gonna miss this" Tucker sighed.
Dayla was about to go over to Danny when she was suddenly grabbed by the arm and pulled back behind the stage. She looked to see it was Dora, but before she could scream or protest, she was knocked unconscious by her. Dora then handed her over to a medieval knight who carried her off bridal style.
"I'm sorry about this ghost girl" She whispered sadly.
Sam saw everything, she sent a text to Andrew telling him to get to the stage quickly and then ran out to warn Danny.
"Danny! Don't go out there. Dora is…" Sam began but then Danny cut in, "An insult to modern woman? A throwback to the dark ages?"
His ghost sense went off and then suddenly the medieval executioner ghost that attacked them before phased out of the ground. Danny immediately ran behind one of the stage props and changed into his ghost form and then flew after the ghost. Before Sam could call out to Danny, she felt Dora's hand behind on her shoulder and turned to see her frowning.
"Miss Mattingly! I didn't hear you" She said with a nervous smile.
"You'd be surprised how dainty your footsteps can be, when you don't wear combat boots!" She shouted. She then calmed down and grabbed her hand saying gently while dragging her behind the stage, "Come we mustn't miss the pageant"
"You know I was really hoping we could bury the hatchet!" Danny said.
The ghost threw his axe straight for him, he dodged it and then smirked, "Miss!"
The axe suddenly turned around and started coming back straight for him. He then said, "Or perhaps not"
He flew off trying to get away from the sharp weapon with one question on his mind, "Where is Dayla?!"
He dodged the axe left and right but nothing he did could stop it from coming after him, he then saw a billboard up ahead and headed straight for it, he turned intangible and phased right through it and then axe lodged itself into the board.
"Later dude! It's been a slice!" Danny laughed.
Suddenly he was trapped by a net onto the billboard by four arrows. He then said, "Okay well its official, I'm all out of axe puns"
He looked up to see the medieval archer ghost floating in front of him and the archer ghost with his axe back in his hands. Back at the pageant Mr Lancer started the pageant, Andrew was trying his best to get to the front of the stage but it was proving to be difficult with all the crowds, all the girls came out onto the stage showing off their gowns. Sam stayed behind at the side of the stage and tried to talk to Dora.
"Miss Mattingly? I realised I'm not cut out to be a princess, so I'll just be going" Sam said and was about to leave when Dora grabbed her arm and sneered, "Nowhere"
Her amulet started glowing and then she transformed into the blue dragon that Sam had seen floating around the Ghost Zone from time to time. She gasped in fright and thought, "Ok. Now I'm officially in trouble!"
Back with Danny, the executioner ghost was just about to bring his axe down when he asked, "Wait! Don't I get a trial? A phone call? A last request? Come on cut me some slack!"
He then grinned and exclaimed, "Hey! Another axe pun!"
The ghosts suddenly stopped when the clock chimed 6 o'clock and then they both flew off, Danny phased out of the net and then exclaimed, "Oh man! I'm late for the pageant!"
He flew back and made it to the judge's seat just in time for the girls to show off their talents, Andrew had made it to the table and tried to speak to Danny but it was too late. Thirty minutes went by and Danny found it confusing that Dayla did not come onto the stage and it was already Sam's turn.
"I'm Sam Manson and my happy princess talent is…" Sam stopped for a second and looked at Dora who gave her an evil look using her dragon eyes. She then finished, "Goth haiku"
"Despair without end. Dora's a ghost! Utter blackness, nothingness. Dora's a ghost! DORA IS A GHOST!" She practically shouted and then was pulled off the stage by Dora.
"So that's your big statement? Dora's a ghost? I mean what…wait! Dora's a ghost?" Danny asked suddenly realising what she said.
"Duh!" Andrew exclaimed.
Danny then ran onto the stage as Mr Lancer asked, "Good sire judge, how thou made thy decision?"
"SAM!" Danny screamed as he ran past him.
Mr Lancer announced, "Let it be proclaimed that the Happy Princess Crown shall be decreed to…Sam? Are you unwell?!"
Everyone gasped as the spotlight was shone down on Sam and Dora, Danny was too late as she and Dora were risen into the air on a platform and the crowds cheered as the fireworks went off.
"SAM! NO!" Danny screamed.
Dora placed the crown onto Sam's head, there was a bright flash of light and then suddenly they were gone. In the Ghost Zone in some sort of medieval realm, all the ghosts who lived there gathered around the castle where Aragon stood on the balcony, behind him sitting by the wall was a gagged and bound Dayla who had just woken up. There was a bright flash of light next to them and then suddenly Sam and Dora who was now in her true form, green skin with blonde hair in a braid and wearing a blue medieval gown had appeared before him. He smiled and then faced his subjects.
"My loyal subjects, at long last the wait is over! Your prince has finally selected his bride!" He announced.
The ghosts cheered and then Sam exclaimed completely shocked, "Bride?!"
"BRIDE?!" Dayla screamed in her head.
A few minutes late Dayla, Sam and Dora were in the tower room of the castle getting ready for Sam's wedding to Prince Aragon. Dayla had been forced into a medieval maiden dress and was also forced to wear some sort of leather bracelet on her wrist that somehow neutralised her powers. It was protected by ecto plasm so she couldn't phase it off. Dora was just finishing putting a corset on Sam.
"Oh cheer up girls. Sam you're going to be a princess and Dayla you get to be her lady in waiting" Dora said cheerfully.
"Cheer up?! We're both hauled off to the Ghost Zone and Sam's about to be married to some stranger!" Dayla exclaimed.
Sam then tried leaving the room, but the crown put some sort of force field at the door and just pushed her back. She then tried pulling the crown off her head and yelled, "Oh and let's not forget this lovely feature to my crown, it won't come off!"
"It's no use child. Only Prince Aragon can remove the tiara, you are bound to him forever" Dora said with a laugh. "Isn't that wonderful?"
"Well Prince Aragon needs to get his head out of the middle ages! It's the 21st Century" Sam said.
"Not here. In this realm, all time stands still" Dora said. "Not that you two care but this is no fun for me either. I have to make Sam a princess or the prince will have my head"
Two medieval ghost women phased in and much to Sam's dismay and dis-pleasure they placed her in a bright pink medieval dress. They both giggled while Dora sighed sadly and said, "We're doomed"
Meanwhile Danny, Tucker and Andrew were in the Spectre Speeder looking for Sam and Dayla. Danny was in his ghost form as he drove the vehicle around the Ghost Zone.
"This is pointless. We don't even know if they are even in the Ghost Zone" Danny said.
"Real world items detected" The computer suddenly beeped and showed an image of Dayla and Sam at a medieval gateway.
"And now we do" Tucker said.
Danny turned the vehicle towards the gates and entered the realm and then suddenly the jets on the Spectre Speeder stopped and they stared falling from the air and right towards the river near the castle, Danny managed to pull up and crash land right in the forest just near the castle. Meanwhile back inside the castle, Dora was placing tight glass slippers on Sam's feet and man! They really hurt!
"OW!" Sam shrieked as the second shoe went on her foot. Dayla then asked helping Sam stand up, "So why does the prince want to marry a human anyway?"
"My brother wants to possess that no-one else has, a human bride. That's why he forced me to make your brother the judge, surely a half ghost would select the perfect human bride and when he saw that you were getting closer to the truth, he had me kidnap you so you wouldn't interfere with him choosing" Dora answered.
"You've got to be kidding?! That makes as much sense as…" Sam began to say when suddenly the glass slippers broke under pressure.
Dora sighed and cleaned up the glass as she said, "Glass slippers? I know. But the prince always gets what he wants"
She then left the room. Sam then said, "Oh really?"
She then saw the ink on the table and got an idea, "Then I'll just have to be what he doesn't want. Dayla I have an idea, but first we need to find a way to get that bracelet off you when the time is right"
"I'm in Sam" Dayla said. She then noticed a large piece of the glass slipper still on the ground and smiled as she picked it up and showed Sam. "I may not be able to phase it off, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to cut it off"
Back with the boys, they had gotten out of the Spectre Speeder as Andrew asked, "What happened?"
"The ship just stopped working" Danny said.
Tucker then took out his PDA and found it completely shut down, "My PDA too. We must be in some sort of tech free zone"
Danny then saw the poster on the tree announcing the wedding and exclaimed, "Oh man! We got bigger problems"
Inside the castle, Prince Aragon sat at the head of the large dining table along with the all the subjects who just sat quietly not doing anything. The jester just threw the balls in the air and didn't bother to even juggle them and then the musician just played two strings on his guitar.
"Enough merry making! Bring forth my bride now!" Aragon commanded.
The doors opened and then Sam came out in some sort of black dress, her hair tied up in pig tails with heaps of Gothic make-up on and had a few pieces of armour on.
"Are you ready to party?! What's up?! Here comes the bride!" She shouted.
Aragon's eyes widened at the sight, but his eyes widened more when Dayla came out with her dress ripped up to her knees and her sleeves ripped shorter. She then screamed, "Did somebody say party?! Who forgot to invite the lady in waiting?!"
"Please I'm begging you two! Don't do this!" Dora pleaded.
"Food! Cool! We're starving!" Sam then exclaimed.
They both jumped onto the table and started throwing meat at everybody, they both then grabbed a couple of watermelons and took a large bite. They both then started spinning in a circle and spat the seeds out of their mouths everywhere and at everyone.
"Dorathea! What is the meaning of this?!" Aragon demanded angrily as he tried shielding himself from the oncoming seeds.
"Uh pre-wedding jitters?" She suggested nervously.
Sam then walked right up to Aragon and belched loudly in his face. Back outside the boys started heading towards the castle, when suddenly they were stopped just in front of the doors by the executioner ghost and the archer ghost.
"Oh man! Not these guys again!" Danny groaned.
Danny charged right for them when suddenly, the executioner ghosts tied his hands and feet together with a hangman's noose and held him in the air as the archer ghost prepared an arrow and aimed straight for him.
"Uh guys a little help!" Danny begged.
"No problem. I'll just hack into the security system, cut off the power and…" Tucker began when Andrew cut in, "Uh Tuck? Tech free zone remember?"
"Oh this reeks!" Tucker shouted and then threw his PDA in anger.
The PDA hit the archer right in the head and caused him to fire his arrow the wrong way as he fell to the ground, the arrow hit the dragon statue at its neck causing it to crack a little. Andrew then grabbed the PDA and threw it straight at the statue again, it caused it to break and fell right on top of the executioner ghost knocking him to the ground. Before he could drag Danny along with him, he broke out of the rope and Tucker caught his PDA.
"Is there anything you can't do?" Tucker asked the device.
"Huh. I guess even in a tech free zone, technology can still be useful" Andrew commented.
Inside the castle, Sam and Dayla continued to cause chaos but for the ghosts in the room it was actually really fun. They applauded everything the girls did, they both hung from the curtains and drank some water from their cups and then sprayed the water everywhere from their mouths.
"Can you not do anything right sister?!" Aragon shouted causing Dora to cringe in fear. "CONTROL THEM!"
"I've always wanted to do this" Dayla said.
She then screamed a jungle cry and swung on the chandelier, Sam laughed and then joined in on the other side of it.
"I always wanted to do that too" Dora said sadly. Aragon then shouted, "Oh you are so useless! GUARDS!"
The guards came ready to grab them, Sam and Dayla then jumped off the chandelier and surfed on a couple of cooked pigs across the table and then crashed right into the guards knocking them all down. The crowd cheered but then stopped when Aragon came to the front of them and saw that he was really angry.
"TO THE DUNGEON WITH THEM!" He commanded
Dayla kept her hands behind her back and grabbed the glass shard from her skirt and began cutting the bracelet off.
"But sweetheart, what about our wedding?" Sam asked. Dayla then asked, "This tiara bonds my lady and you forever remember?"
"She is not fit to wear it!" He snapped and then started reaching down to take it off her head.
Dayla had almost finished cutting the bracelet off until suddenly, Sam was grabbed by two boys with medieval masks on their heads, one of them had a little bit of armour on his suit and Dayla was grabbed by a boy with one on his head as well and they were both dragged towards the door causing Dayla to drop the glass shard.
"HEY LET US GO!" Sam demanded.
"Dayla it's me! Andrew!" Andrew said taking off the mask.
Danny and Tucker removed their masks as Danny said, "We're here to rescue you girls"
"Although the gesture is really nice, we don't need rescuing! We were doing fine without you!" Dayla exclaimed.
The crown on Sam's tiara activated and created a shield at the front entrance, Danny, Tucker, Andrew were able to pass through but Sam was still trapped inside the castle.
"SAM!" Danny screamed.
"INSOLENT PEASENTS!" Aragon roared as he grabbed Sam by her forearm. "NO ONE STILL PRINCE ARAGON'S BRIDE!"
"But…I thought you didn't want her" Dora said nervously.
Aragon growled and then faced Dora, "YOU DO NOT THINK! EVER! YOU DO AS YOU'RE TOLD!"
Dora cringed in fear as he transformed into his dragon form and then roared in pure rage.
"Let's do this Dayla!" Danny said with determination.
"I can't! This bracelet stops my powers! Hold him off until I can get this thing off" Dayla said. Danny nodded and then she and Andrew ran inside to find something sharp to cut it with.
He was then blasted in the back by an ecto blast. Danny floated in the air and shouted, "Wedding's cancelled scaly!"
Aragon growled and was about to shoot fire at Danny, when Tucker used his bow and fired a couple pieces of technology at him and blocked his nose. Aragon then coughed out some smoke as he felt he couldn't produce any fire.
"Looks like I can get past all sorts of firewalls" Tucker smirked proudly.
Aragon then shot straight out of the castle and then took a deep breath and shot the tech right out of his nose.
"Except that one" Tucker said.
Aragon flew around and then fired a blast of fire right at Danny, he created a shield to defend himself but the force of the blast sent him crashing straight into the ground. Aragon roared as he flew around and set the forest on fire, he then landed on the tower and roared a mighty roar full of fury and anger into the air. Back inside, Andrew was cutting the bracelet away with a sharp knife, he kept cutting it and cutting it until he finally got it off. Dayla smiled and changed into her ghost form.
"Are you just gonna let your brother push you around like that?" Dayla asked Dora.
Dora sighed, "What choice do I have? A princess isn't supposed to think. We just have to smile, look pretty and live happily ever after"
"So how happy are you then?" She then asked. Dora looked down and then Dayla flew off to help Danny.
Danny charged straight out of the flaming forest, he then smiled as Dayla flew right beside him. Aragon ripped a piece of the tower off and threw it straight at Dayla, she split her face and allowed the rock to go right through her. They both then fired a combined ecto blast, but he used his tail and hit back straight at them, hitting them both dead on.
Back inside Sam said, "Dayla's right. You're just as smart as your brother and just as powerful"
"Don't you two share the same power or something since your related?" Andrew asked.
"It's true we do share the same power" Dora admitted as she looked at her amulet. "Which means I should be able to do this"
She then grabbed onto the crown and began pulling it with all her might and then finally she had released Sam from its power. Sam and Andrew smiled proudly at her as then activated her power and started changing into her dragon form.
Aragon roared as he continued chasing after Danny and Dayla, throwing flames at them. They kept turning intangible and dodged each attack. They both then stopped in mid-air and turned intangible, allowing Aragon to go right through them, they both then grabbed onto his tail and he dragged them around a bit. He then turned around and fired another fireball at them, they both smirked and let go of his tail and allowed the flame to hit it dead on.
He roared in pain and then Dayla blasted him with an ecto blast and sent him falling right into the river below them.
"So are you gonna let our friend go or do we have to do this the hard way?" Dayla asked. Danny then added, "Or my personal favourite, the 'I'm gonna pound you way?'"
They were both suddenly grabbed by his claw from out of the water, he then shot right out and slammed them right into the ground, they groaned in pain as he held them down tightly.
"How about the slow and painful way?!" He screamed.
He was about to finish them off when suddenly, he was blasted in the back and knocked straight into the ground. Danny and Dayla looked up weakly to see Sam and Andrew on Dora's back in her dragon form.
"DORA YOU IMBECILE! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" He demanded.
"What I should have done ages ago!" She shouted back and then blasted him again.
Dayla smiled and stood up, she then whispered something to Danny who nodded and then turned invisible. Dayla then flew up and floated alongside Dora and high fived Sam.
She landed and started looking around for him screaming, "Sixteen hundred year of doing your bidding! Sixteen hundred years of suffering your insults! Sixteen hundred years of…"
She was cut off when his own paw grabbed her mouth and closed it. He emerged from the flames and then looked at Sam in pure rage.
"You! This is all your fault! You and your friend have been filling her head with your modern ideas!" He roared.
"You might want to listen to some of those ideas!" Danny yelled and then ripped the amulet right off his neck. He then smiled at Sam and Dayla and said "I know I should have"
"Apology accepted" Sam and Dayla said at the same time.
Without the power of the amulet, Aragon changed back into his normal form and hung from Dora's mouth. She smirked and then flicked him off her mouth with her large finger, sending him straight into the ground. Sam and Andrew jumped off her back and then she blew her dragon breath and started putting out the fire, she then flew into the air and looked up at the clouds.
"I think it's time we took this realm out of the dark ages" Dora announced.
She fired her flames at the clouds and all of them parted allowing the light to come through, all the people smiled as they felt the warmth of the light, but Aragon cringed and gasped in fear.
"What is that?" He asked afraid.
Sam looked at her watch and saw it was now working again, "Time moving forward and you have a lot of catching up to do"
After Sam and Dayla cleaned themselves up and got back into their normal attire, they all got into the Spectre Speeder and headed back for Amity Park. They returned to the school and headed back to the stage at the football field where everyone was still waiting around, Danny and Dayla phased them all back onto the stage from the ground and changed back into their human forms. The cardboard cut-out suddenly fell and all the girls looked at Danny ready to kill him.
"Let's scratch his eyes out with our perfectly manicured nails!" Paulina sneered and then they all started advancing at him.
"Wait! Wait! Wait! You don't understand! I never actually picked the winner" Danny said.
All the girls stopped and then Paulina smiled as she said, "You didn't? I knew you'd come to your senses"
"I have about a lot of things and for helping to do that I decree that our Miss Teenage Happy Princess shall be, Sam Manson and Dayla Fenton" He announced.
All the girls gasped in shock, Danny then ripped the crown in half and gave a piece to Sam and a piece to Dayla with a smile. The crowd cheered as he then gave half the flowers to Sam and the other half to Dayla. Andrew picked Dayla and they both laughed as he spun her around in a circle.
"I don't know what to say. Oh wait yes I do! These things are stupid" Sam announced and then threw the crown and the flowers to the ground. Dayla laughed and said, "I have to agree"
She then asked Danny holding out her arm, "Up for a double veggie-veggie at the Nasty Burger?"
He laughed and linked his arm with hers as he answered as they left, "Sure. But you're buying. I mean it is the 21st Century"
"Well you definitely proved these girls wrong. Up for a late night movie at my place?" Andrew asked as he and Dayla asked.
"You bet my knight in shining armour" Dayla giggled. He laughed and then they both headed for Andrew's place, leaving a bunch of completely shocked girls.
"Fear not ladies. I'm still accepting date bribes for Miss Congeniality" Tucker said with a grin.
His smile dropped when Paulina said, "I'm clawing his eyes out Saturday"
"I'm clawing his eyes out Sunday. Who gets him today?" Star asked.
They both played a game of rock paper scissors and Star won. She then growled with a laugh and screamed, "HA! YOU'RE DEAD FOLEY!"
Tucker screamed and ran as a very angry Star started chasing him around, ready to claw his eyes out for losing the pageant.
