Season 1 Episode 13

"2-Wheeled Terror!"
It was a nice, peaceful night...well, not as peaceful as it could get when you live in Amity Park, or if you were a fourteen year old highschool girl gifted with paranormal powers. Dani Phantom was currently fighting a weird one-eyed ghost squid as it roared and squirted black ink straight at her, which she dodged with ease.
"Hey, easy on the ghost ink! I just tanned this suit clean!" Dani exclaimed before she fired her Fenton Thermos at the squid ghost and sucked it inside.
She smiled at first, until her phone suddenly rang before she pulled and answered it by her ear. "Coyote thing! Big ghost coyote thing! Down by the Nasty Burger!" Sam Manson exclaimed urgently through the phone, alerting Dani when her eyes went wide.
Beside the Nasty Burger, Sam had his back pinned beside the building as a large ghost coyote cornered him while it growled. It opened its jaws as it prepared to eat the goth boy alive, making him scream in terror. Luckily, Dani arrived just in time when she quickly jumped onto the coyote's back with the thermos in her hand.
"Down girl! Don't eat that! It's a vegetarian!" Dani shouted before she slammed the thermos on top of the coyote's head and began to suck. The coyote's head got sucked in until she flipped up and sucked in the rest of its body. She stood up and rubbed her head as Sam walked up to her. "What a night. Every time I turn around, there's another ghost."
Dani's phone rang again before she answered it. "Dani, ghost snake! By the park!" Tina Foley shouted urgently.
At the park, Tina panted heavily as she ran down the park. However, she accidentally tripped over her backpack strap and fell to the ground while her tech stuff spilled out in the process.
"I gotta stop carrying around so much geek gear, it's gonna be the death of me." She said as she stared down at all of her technology, until she glanced up and her eyes went wide. The giant ghost snake caught up to her and hissed with its tongue out while it towered over her. "Literally!"
Right before the snake could even strike at the tech-loving girl, Dani arrived in the nick of time when she shoved the ghost away from her best friend and flew off with the creature. "Where are all these ghosts coming from?!" Dani asked herself in frustration.
Meanwhile at Fenton Works lab, Jackie Fenton pressed her exposed thumb over a scanner while the Fenton Ghost Portal opened and closed with each press. However, the entire family was completely unaware and oblivious to the fact that ghosts kept on flying out each time it opened, even to James and Matt.
"I told you this genetic lock was a great invention. It's a perfect way to prevent any unauthorized access to the Ghost Zone." Jackie said to her husband.
Inside the Ghost Zone, all of the ghosts were lined up for their turns to escape through the portal each time it opened. At the end of the line, a teenage girl on a motorcycle rode down the pathway with a boy sitting behind her and the two of them looked like they came from the eighties.
The boy was a ghost with pale greenish-white skin, shaggy green hair and red eyes. He wore a black shirt, a red jacket and pants, and black boots, and his accessories include a green pendant, a purple scarf, and a green-and-gold ring.
The girl was a ghost with pale-white skin and short blond greasy hair. She had green eyes and freckles on her cheeks. She wore a long gray jacket with a white shirt underneath and the sleeves pushed up, black pants, and gray boots. Her accessories included a green skull necklace, black fingerless biker gloves, and a green-and-gold ring.
"You sure we're gonna make it, Jessie?" The boy asked a little doubtful.
"Relax, Kyle, will ya?" The girl, Jessie, said confidently. "Shadow, keep the portal open!" A black shadow ghost emerged from underneath her before it flew straight into the portal and it expanded to prevent the gates from closing for the couple.
Kyle looked a little doubtful. "I'm not so sure if using that stupid bad luck shadow is such a good idea, Jessie!"
She remained silent as she boosted up her motorcycle. The shadow flew through the portal before the motorcycle jumped through the portal as it began to close. Unfortunately, while the girl, Jessie, made it through safely, Kyle's hair got caught in the doors closing when it electrocuted him and he shouted in agony before he collapsed onto the portal bridge.
Jessie braked her motorcycle a few feet away when she noticed. "KYLE!" She exclaimed.
Kyle stood up as his body wavered. "I knew it, I can't maintain my form! I'm split between here and the Ghost Zone!" Jessie's eyes went wide before Kyle took off his red jacket, purple scarf, and green ring. "I've spread my energy into my stuff, get some guy to wear them so I can reform around him to make up to the body I fried!" He telekinetically gave his girlfriend his stuff as she folded them before he hovered into the air. "I've gotta get back into the Ghost Zone before I completely fall apart. Don't forget me, Jessie! Don't forget me!" He then faded back into their ghostly world.
"Don't worry, Kyle! I'll find you a new host! I promise!" Jessie then rode her motorcycle down the portal bridge.
Back in the lab, Jackie explained her new invention to her son. "Now that I've installed this genetic scanner, the only way to open the Fenton Portal is if someone in the family does this!" She said before she pressed her thumb on the scanner again as it beeped. When it approved and the portal opened again, Jessie rode her motorcycle into the lab and hid before the Fentons could notice. "Suffering spooks! Where's Dani? I bet she'd love this."
"Oh, well, I'm sure wherever she is, it has nothing to do with ghosts at all." James said, still secretly covering for his sister.
Jessie peeked through her hiding spot and stared at James with a look of interest, knowing that she has found the perfect man that her boyfriend can replace. "Hello, new boyfriend." She said with a smirk.
Theme Song:
(She's a phantom)
(Dani Phantom, Phantom, Phantom)
Young Dani Fenton, she was just fourteen
When her parents built a very strange machine
Designed to view a world unseen
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
When it didn't work, her folks, they just quit
Then Dani took a look inside of it
There was a great, big flash, and everything changed
Her molecules got all rearranged
(Phantom, Phantom)
When she first woke up, she realized she had snow white hair, and glowing green eyes
She could walk through walls, disappear, and fly
She was much more unique than the other gals
And it was then that she knew what she had to do
She had to stop all the ghost that were coming through
She's there to fight, for me and you!
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
(She's gonna catch 'em all, cause she's Dani Phantom)
The same night after being chased by a giant ghost snake, Tina hanged out with a boy as they walked together down the neighborhood. "I was kind of hoping we could hit a movie or something." Tina said sheepishly to the boy.
"Okay." He said as he smiled a little.
"Alright, but I'll have to let you know, I'm persistent." She stopped short and smiled when she realized what he just said. "Wait...did you say 'okay'? Do you want to beam me your phone number?" She dug through her backpack and then suddenly pulled out all of her phones, laptops, mouses, etc. The boy stared down at them in bewilderment while she held them out. "We can share the same ringtone." Tina's eye twitched with anticipation.
"No thanks, techno-geek." He walked away, sounding a little weirded out.
Tina groaned in frustration that she was rejected once again, because of her love for technology. "I am not a techno-geek!" She slammed her electronics onto the hard concrete and demolished them. Tina then shrieked at what she just did before she bent down and hugged them. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"
Later on in another neighborhood, the same ghost snake that attacked Tina smacked Dani when she crashed into a building with a grunt. "Come on, I've been fighting ghosts for twenty-four hours, can't one be easy?" She asked herself rhetorically. The snake slithered to her as it hissed when she quickly phased through the ground before it struck its fangs to the wall and Dani phased behind it. "So long, slinky!" She aimed out her thermos and sucked in the ghost snake before she recapped it. Her ghost sense went off, making her more irritated. "Oh great, one more to go."
Dani turned around and found Jessie riding her motorcycle down the road at full speed. Her ring glowed before Kyle's face appeared. "What's taking so long?" He asked impatiently.
"I'm trying to find the right boy for you to take over. I mean, If I've gotta look at his face for all eternity, I've gotta make sure I like it." Jessie said while she looked down at her ring before she hung up and went faster down the street.
"Um, ma'am, I believe your speeding." Dani said as she flew next to her with a grin.
Jessie scowled at her. "I'll show you speeding! Shadow, attack!"
She waved her hand before her shadow ghost flew from underneath her and roared as it knocked Dani away to her jaw. Jessie rode her motorcycle up a building vertically while Dani tumbled across the alley. The shadow then clawed the light post when it swooped right past it, and the post creaked when it was about to fall right on top of Dani. She yelped as she rolled out of the way, but unfortunately the post crushed on top of her thermos when it released all of the ghosts she has been capturing all night.
Dani stood up to her feet and stared at her busted thermos. "Oh, of all the rotten luck." She groaned to herself in frustration.
She then glared up at Jessie, who remained silent while she smirked down at her before she rode away over the rooftop.
The next cloudy day at the carnival pier, Dani, Sam, and Tina walked down the concession stands and the markets together while Dani discussed Jessie and her weird shadow she fought last night.
"And because of some stupid shadow, I had to spend another night rounding up the same ghosts again!" Dani exclaimed in frustration.
"Maybe you could do a web search on shadow ghosts on your PDA." Sam suggested to Tina.
When she pulled out her trusty PDA, the Asian school cheerleader, Kwyn, snatched it from her. "Check me out, I'm Tina Foley! Styled in large with the latest geek fashion!" Kwyn falsely mimicked Tina as she did a flirting pose while she held out the PDA.
"Kwyn, you do that a little too well." Daph Baxter said while she cocked an eyebrow with her hands on her hips.
Kwyn glanced back at Tina before she shrieked and tossed her PDA back to her. "Techno-geek is contagious!" And then she ran away in fake fear.
Tina glared at her PDA, looking very frustrated that everybody has been calling her a 'techno-geek'. "Alright, that's it!" She exclaimed angrily before she roughly handed Sam her PDA. "Here, you take it! I'm sick of being labeled! By the end of the day, nobody's gonna call Tina Foley a techno-geek anymore!" And she stormed away.
Dani and Sam glanced at each other before they ran after their friend while they past by James, who was looking at a bunch of clown pictures while he examined them. "Sure she's smiling on the outside, but I can sense the tortured soul just below the surface." He observed.
"No, she's smiling on the inside, too." An out of shape woman dressed as a clown said before she belched. James stared down at her nonpussly.
Up on the telephone wires, Jessie rode her motorcycle across before she showed Kyle's face on her ring towards James. "There, that's him! The kid with that big, fat idiot who fried your body!" She said.
"I guess he'll do for now." Kyle said through the ring.
Jessie then spotted a truck when she smiled with an idea. "Shadow, truck!" She waved her hand as the shadow emerged and obeyed her command when it flew straight towards the truck.
Tina walked ahead of Dani and Sam while they walk past the same truck and Tina kept talking to herself while she walked underneath a ladder. "Maybe I could be the funny girl, the smooth girl, or maybe-" She said, until she got cut short when a fist smacked her in the nose.
She covered her face and saw that Daph was holding out her fist while she smirked at her. "Hey, check it out! She just walked under a ladder, into your fist!" Kwyn said brightly.
"Hey, maybe we should call her Bad Luck Tin." Daph said before they both snickered rudely.
"What? No!" Tina shouted nervously as she backed away to the back of the truck. "I am not bad luck!"
Dani suddenly saw the shadow ghost phase into the truck when she narrowed her eyes. "No, but I think I know what is…" She said mostly to herself suspiciously. The shadow looked around and then it ripped the brake handle before the truck began to move away. Tina turned around and gasped as the vehicle began to drive out of control before the shadow phased out. "Oh great, more bad luck!" Dani blinked her eyes as they glowed green.
People all scattered out of the way as the truck went to full speed before it crashed into a wooden roller coaster and a hill broke in half when a coaster car flew straight up to the air. Dani, in her ghost form, quickly flew up into action and grabbed the obese black boy while he grabbed the other two kids. She gasped in worried panic when she saw a little girl plummeting towards the ground, but she fortunately landed safely inside a ball pit, which made her sigh in relief.
However, Dani heard a familiar scream. "James!" She exclaimed when the coaster car headed straight for her brother, who had some cotton candy, but then Jessie suddenly drove in and pulled him aboard her motorcycle before the car crashed onto him as she braked.
James' hair was a little frizzed and he was a little shaken up from almost being crushed. "I...you…" He said, but then he faltered before he smiled gratefully at Jessie, who smiled at him as well.
Dani sprinted up to her brother in her human form, looking a little frazzled that her brother was just almost killed while Jessie narrowed her eyes at her. "James, are you okay?!"
"I'm fine, thanks to…" He looked back at Kitty again longley.
"Jessie, my name's Jessie." She said as she smiled at him warmly until she gave a dubious look to Dani. "Shouldn't you be somewhere else?"
"No, shouldn't you?" Dani retorted before they both glared angrily at each other aggressively until James got in between them.
"Dani, don't be rude!" He said to his sister before he shook hands with Jessie. "Hi, my name's Jameson...James." He then noticed his reflection in the mirror as he examined his frizzy hair. "Ack! Wow, I look like I was almost run over by a roller coaster."
"We...excuse me, I mean, I think you look perfect, Jammy, but here." Jessie said as she pulled out Kyle's purple scarf. "I bet you'd look attractive in this." James gladly took it.
"His/My name's not Jammy." Dani and James said in unison while Dani glared at her before James slipped on the scarf. His eyes momentarily glowed until he blinked and gave his sister a look before he elbowed her roughly.
"But you can call me that if you want." He said to Jessie while Dani rubbed her arm, a little confused by why he just clubbed her like that.
"Want a ride home, Jammy?" Jessie offered with a smile. James got excited when he gasped and immediately hopped on behind Jessie before she rode off with him, leaving Dani coughing from the dust.
Somewhere else in the carnival, Sam and Tina both sat on some steps together until Daph, Kwyn, and the rest of their cheerleading squad came up to them with pom-poms in their hands. "Bad Luck Tin! Bad Luck Tin!" They chanted like they do for their school, but more for mock.
"Well, at least they're not calling you a techno-geek anymore." Sam said to Tina, but that only made her bury her head under her arms in embarrassment.
Later that night outside of Fenton Works, Dani returned home, but then she noticed that Jessie's motorcycle was parked outside on the street. "She's here? Oh man, this can't be good." She said before she walked into her home.
Inside the living room, Jessie and James both sat on the couch while they chatted with each other a little bit. "You do have a last name, don't you?" He asked Jessie.
"Yeah, but everybody calls me Jessie 13. I kind of have this reputation for being...unlucky." Jessie said as she rubbed her arm.
"Well, you're pretty lucky for me."
Jessie then handed him Kyle's jacket. "Here, try this one."
James gladly slipped on the jacket before it briefly glowed while Kyle's energy began to take control of him, and he smiled at his new 'girlfriend'. They both leaned closer to kiss each other on the lips until they cringed when they heard the front door slam shut. They turned their heads to see Dani standing there, who gave Jessie a deluxe glare when she narrowed her eyes and Jessie followed her example before Dani stormed into another room.
Jessie then turned back to her new 'boyfriend'. "Hey, do you have someplace where we could be alone, like a basement?" She asked hopefully.
"As a matter of fact, I do. Come on." James led Jessie off the couch and took her down to the lab.
Dani heard the whole thing before she walked away. Down in the lab, James placed his thumb on the new genetic scanner before the Fenton Portal opened while he showed it to Jessie.
"Cool." She said as she smiled at it.
"No, it's not, but at least my sister can't bug us here." James said.
"Jameson Fenton! You know you're not allowed to bring unauthorized personals down here!" They both heard Jackie shout when they perked up in surprise.
They turned around to see Dani grinning at them with a smug look while she leaned against the wall, just before Jackie and Matt rushed into the lab after their daughter apparently broke the news to them, and they were both unimpressed by their son's actions.
"You know better!" Matt said with a frown.
"You were about to let some stranger activate the Fenton Portal?!" Jackie and Dani exclaimed in unison before they glanced at each other in confusion.
"Hey, lay off! We were doing nothing, Grams!" Jessie protested as she crossed her arms.
"Her name isn't Grams!" Dani and Matt defended until they glanced at each other in confusion as well.
Jessie then rolled her eyes. "Ah, whatever, this place was going out of my style anyway." She walked up the stairs right past the Fentons (minus James) while they glared at her.
"I'll walk you out, Jessie." James said before he scowled at Dani. "And could you be any more like them?" Dani's eyes went wide before James chased after his new 'girlfriend'.
"I am not like them/her!" Dani and her parents shouted after James at the same time.
"This is awkward." Dani said, sounding a little weirded out.
The next day at Casper High, the trio took their tray lunch outside. Dani discussed her situation on not just her older brother dating a ghost, but that she and her parents were actually on the same thought bubble about Jessie.
"And the weirdest part was that me and my parents were actually on the same page. I'm not like them...am I?" Dani asked her friends.
Sam then sarcastically looked up in thought like it was totally obvious. "Hmm, let's see: you're stubborn, overprotective, your last name's Fenton, and you hunt ghosts." Sam listed off, telling her the similarities she has between her and her parents.
"Only thing you're missing is the hazmat goggles and the wonder gut." Tina added with a little side joke.
The trio took their seat to a table next to some random girls when they looked at Tina. "It's Bad Luck Tin, yo. We out." One of them said before she and her friend walked away, leaving their lunches behind.
Underneath the table, the shadow appeared from the table's shadow and slid up to Tina. She made a look of annoyance as she pointed her fork out towards the students. "I am not bad luck!"
Then the shadow flicked her fork out of her hand when it ended up sticking into a beehive before the bees exploded and the students ran for their lives. Later on, every single student (minus Dani and Sam) got stung everywhere with large bumps all over their bodies as they glared at Tina, who was walking out of the school (which has dismissed the students because of the recent bee incident), and she got stung like the rest of them.
"Suddenly, techno-geek sounds like a term of endearment." She muttered mostly to herself.
James walked away from the school and then smiled brightly when he found Jessie, who was waiting patiently on her motorcycle for him. "Hey, Jessie, what are you doing here?" He asked with delight.
"What can I say? No matter how hard I try, I can't stay away." She said lovingly.
Later on in the evening, the trio walked down the neighborhood together while Tina wrote on her notepad, trying to find a new label for herself until Dani's ghost sense went off. She glanced towards the road and witnessed Jessie riding away on her motorcycle with James in the back.
"Darn it, James!" Dani groaned in frustration before she followed them in her ghost form up and across the hill.
Unfortunately, Jessie glanced at her rearview mirror and noticed that Dani was flying above them. "Shadow, defend." She whispered before her shadow flew past Dani and she followed it. Up on the hill, James and Jessie overlooked the city as the sun setted in the distance. "James, I've been thinking, and I know this is quick and out of tradition, but...how'd you like to be my man?" Jessie pulled out Kyle's ring while James stared down at it in awe.
Later on, Dani fired an ecto beam at the shadow and made a hole on its chest, but it regenerated like nothing happened while it grinned at the girl. "Suffering spooks...suffering spooks?! Oh man, I am becoming my mom!" Dani shouted before the shadow flew right up and swallowed her whole. Dani began to struggle inside the shadow when she managed to pop from its stomach while it roared and it pulled her back in. "I gotta break away from this thing!"
She held out her hands before she charged them up with ecto-energy, making the shadow gap at her. Dani gestured while she fired her ghost beams out and broke free while the shadow exploded into particles until they reformed back into the shadow.
Dani glanced down at her hands that were producing green vapor and she realized the shadow's weakness. "Okay, so bright light weakens it." She told herself while the shadow shook its head to get rid of the stars. "Need some bright light…" She looked around and saw the movie cinema right below her. "Oh yeah, that'll do it."
In the lobby of the movies, a miserable Tina and Sam ordered some popcorn as an employee handed them a bucket. "One super-large popcorn." She said dully, until she noticed Tina and began to panic a little when she began to sweat nervously. "I know you...you're Bad Luck Tin!"
"And you're Minimum Wage Stac!" Tina retorted with a glare as she angrily took the popcorn away from her, getting really irritated by people calling her that. "But you don't hear me broadcasting it!"
"Hey, this is your fault for ditching the whole techno-geek label. Maybe you need a new new thing." Sam said as he smiled.
Tina cocked an eyebrow. "A new new thing?"
"Yeah, you should go goth!" Sam pulled out a black beanie while Tina narrowed her eyes at it, not really impressed. "Look, it says 'I'm Tina, but I'm also edgy and dangerous'."
Tina frown even more in disagreement. "Why the heck would I wanna go goth? Isn't that your thing?"
Then, Dani phased through the door while the shadow followed her as they both phased through the popcorn machine. The machine suddenly shook while it switched to 'super-high' before popcorn immediately spilled everywhere towards the outside.
Sam and Tina popped their heads out. "You win, goth me up." Tina said before Sam flipped her red beanie off and replaced it with the black one while she only rolled her eyes in annoyance.
In a screening room, Dani looked around invisibly for the shadow ghost, but was unaware that it was right behind her. Fortunately, the projector turned on when it shined on the white screen and the shadow immediately wailed in agony from the light.
"Smile for the camera!" Dani said with a smirk.
The shadow continued to howl until it faded into tiny particles as they phased through the ceiling before Dani followed them.
Back on top of the hill, while Jessie leaned against James as they sat beside the motorcycle, the shadow returned and formed back into Jessie's own shadow. She stared down at it in confusion until she pulled out Kyle's ring as his smirking face appeared.
"So, James, what do you say?" Jessie asked.
"A ring? You want to go steady? That is so old-schooled." He said, looking pleased and happy.
Dani landed onto a tree branch above them as she looked down at them. "I gotta do something." She said to herself before she smiled with an idea.
"You know what, Jessie…" Just when James was about to hold his hand out for the ring, Dani purposely jumped off from the branch as she changed back into her human form.
She yelped when she dropped onto the grass in front of Jessie and James with a grunt, startling them both and their eyes went wide. "Hi, not interrupting anything, am I?"
James and Jessie got up to their feet when James glared down at his sister and stomped up to her before he grabbed the back of her shirt and pulled her up. "Are you spying on us?"
"Were you spying on them?" Matt asked his daughter outside of Fenton Works as he and Jackie narrowed their eyes at their daughter. James and Jessie were both glaring at Dani for ruining their perfect night together after they told on her.
"Alright, alright! I-I was spying on James, and I'm...really-" Dani began, until her parents leaned in closer with satisfied.
"Good job." Jackie whispered while she and Matt smiled cleverly, like they were pleased about her spying on their son dating this girl since they didn't trust Jessie either.
"Yeah, way to go, Dani. And if you see James with that huligan again, you let us know." Matt added quietly while Dani blinked at them in confusion.
They glanced up when they noticed that Jessie was glowering at them before she rode away. James turned back to his family and glared like he wanted them to punish his sister for 'ruining' his perfect date.
"And don't do it again!" Matt and Jackie said sternly in unison to Dani with their hands on their hips.
Jackie leaned closer to Dani again and smiled. "No, seriously, feel free to do it again."
The next day at Casper High, the final bell rung before Dani and Sam both walked out of the building together. Dani sighed in frustration by how things were turning out for her and her family recently.
"This stinks. My brother's dating a ghost and I'm turning into my parents!" Dani said out loud in frustration as she threw her arm out.
"Hey, guys." Tina said as she came up to her friends with a whole new appearance.
They stopped walking and Dani's jaw dropped while Sam placed his free hand on his waist and smiled at their friend. Tina's hair was covering one of her eyes, she wore a black T-shirt with a skull logo over a long-sleeved purple-black striped undershirt, and wore flea collars on her wrists and around her neck.
Dani stared at her somewhat dumbfoundedly. "What the heck are you turning into?" She asked in confusion.
"We're changing her image." Sam said as he walked next to Tina.
"That's right, no more Bad Luck Tin! I'm changing my image...again!" She said happily with a shrug and a cheeky smile.
Dani giggled softly. "Come on, you can't pull off goth." She said while she pointed at her.
"Sure she can. Tina, show Dani your disinfectant scowl." Sam told her. Tina gave Dani her best flat and so low look at her friend, but Dani looked really unimpressed when she merely frowned unfazily. "No, no, I can still see some hope. If you need us tonight, we'll be at Tina's, darkening her outlook on the world." He turned to Tina with a smile as they began to walk away. "Won't that be fun."
"Yeah, we'll be…" She said, but then paused with uncertainty. "Wait, what are we going to be doing at Tina's?"
At Tina's house in a bathroom, she stared at her reflection with her mirror, looking irritated and unhappy, now that she wore black eyeliner and black nail polish. She then turned to Sam with a glare. "I'm seriously not enjoying this." Tina said bitterly to her gothic friend.
"But the men love the funky black eyeliner and the mega-onix nail polish." He said as he held up the eyeliner and nail polish in his hands.
"Yeah, but not to scare them to death!"
That night at Fenton Works, James looked out his bedroom window, still angry that his sister has spied on him and his new 'girlfriend' the other day. He then glanced down and gasped in delight when he saw Jessie below his window, who was looking up at him while she smiled.
"Jessie, hey!" James said as he waved his fingers down to his 'girlfriend'.
"Hey, Jammy, is this a good time?" She asked.
"Yep, my parents are asleep. Wanna come up and listen to some CDs or something?"
"Yeah, CDs."
After James helped Jessie climb through his window, they both tiptoed across the hallway as they passed by the master bedroom, where Matt and Jackie were fast asleep. Jessie secretly smiled at them before she followed her 'boyfriend' down to the lab. They made it, just before Jessie pulled out Kyle's ring and presented it to James again.
"So, what do you say, James? Wanna be my man?" Jessie asked him admiringly. James smiled down at the ring in silence before he began to hold up his hand.
"He's not anyone's man!" Dani interrupted, making them both turn around as she walked out of the shadows, frowning at them.
"Stop spying on us!" Jessie and James exclaimed in unison while they glared at her annoyingly.
"No, I won't! Anymore than you would if it were me!" Dani walked up to James and placed her hands on his shoulders. "Come on, James!" She slipped the jacket and scarf off of his shoulders a little bit, which began to make him act very dizzy. "Think like the psychologist you keep telling us you're gonna be! Does this seem right?"
"What's taking so long?" Kyle asked through the ring, catching Jessie's attention when he appeared. "Jessie, get me out of here!" Jessie tossed the ring and glared angrily at James' meddling sister before she stormed up to the siblings.
"Don't you think I'm doing this because I have a reason?" Jessie then grabbed Dani by her collar and pulled her away. James wobbled a little and groaned from his sudden dizziness while Jessie and Dani both glared at each other aggressively.
"You know what, princess?" Jessie said dangerously calm.
Kyle's jacket and scarf completely fell off of James, freeing him of their influence when he shook his head. "Dani?" He asked himself with a look of confusion.
"We've had just about enough of you!" Jessie raised her fist and prepared to punch Dani in the face while she braced herself.
James frowned that Jessie was about to harm his sister. "HEY! Hands off the little sister!"
Dani smirked at Jessie in a moment of silence, now that her brother was back to his old self again. "Oh, whatever!" She threw Dani overhead while she yelped in surprise before she crashed onto a nearby shelf. "Then we do this the hard way...shadow, shelf!"
The shadow ghost emerged from underneath her before it flew through the shelf, causing it to circuit a little. Then it toppled over Dani, supposingly crushing her.
"DANI!" James exclaimed with wide eyes as held out his hand until Jessie immediately grabbed onto his wrist. "Hey!" Jessie slipped the ring on his finger before it began to glow while James started at her dumbfoundedly.
The shadow then slipped the jacket and scarf back on him. His entire body glowed and his eyes did as well, until he blinked and was overtaken by Kyle's energy he spreaded onto his clothes. Jessie dragged him to the genetic scanner and placed his thumb on it when it approved and opened the Fenton Portal. Jessie dragged the disoriented James in front of the portal while from the other side, where Kyle smiled before he held out his hand and he engulfed him in blue energy as they began to switch places, with James going into the Ghost Zone and Kyle into the lab.
While Jessie watched eagerly, Dani phased out of the shelf in her ghost form and charged straight at Jessie, who gasped too late when Dani punched her and sent her crashing into a couple of boxes of tech. Dani gasped when she noticed that 'Kyle' wearing the ring, and she quickly removed it from his finger. He screamed before he changed back into James while Kyle returned immediately into the Ghost Zone.
"Jessie!" He shouted.
Jessie glared at Dani as she rose from the boxes. "I don't know exactly what's going on, but I know you can't do it without this!" Dani said as she held out the ring, making Jessie gawked at it. "See ya, freakface!" Dani then phased through the ceiling.
"Shadow, fetch the ring!" Jessie ordered as she threw out her shadow after Dani.
Dani flew over and across the neighborhood as she pulled up her phone and dialed in Tina. "Tina, Sam, come on! Please pick up!"
Back at Tina's house, she washed her face in the kitchen while Sam only watched her. "Tina, I thought you wanted to wash away the Bad Luck Tin thing." Sam said to her.
"The only thing I'm washing away is this stupid makeup." Tina said bitterly while she pointed at her face.
"Time for the ultimate goth accessory." Sam smiled as he held up an earring.
Tina stared at it with wide eyes before she narrowed her brows in disapproval. "I am not getting my ear pierced!"
Sam continued to smile at his friend casually. "Who said anything about your ear?"
"...Okay, that's it!"
"So maybe your first thing was your best thing, huh?"
"Yeah." Tina suddenly perked up from what he just said before she grinned cleverly at him. "Hey, you never really wanted me to go goth, did ya?"
Sam rolled his eyes like it should have been obvious. "Duh, goth's my thing, and I believe this is yours." He held out Tina's PDA she angrily gave him at the carnival a couple days ago.
She smiled as she happily took it from him before she kissed it passionately. "Oh, baby, I've missed you!"
"Hello? Hello?!" Dani called from the PDA urgently as she appeared on screen. "Yow, nice hair. Lose a bet?"
"Long story, it ends with me realizing that for me: goth bad, geek good." Tina placed her bifocal glasses back over her eyes before she glanced back down at her screen. "What do you need?"
The shadow began to catch up to Dani while she flew up to the air as it charged right past her before she glanced back down at her phone. "I need geek!"
Back at the lab of Fenton Works, Kyle appeared behind the portal as he looked directly at his girlfriend. "Come on, Jessie! You know I can't switch places unless he's wearing my stuff!" He reminded her.
"Hey! What's going on down there?!" They heard Jackie shout from upstairs, catching Jessie's attention when she looked up and her eyes went wide.
"Oh crud!" Jessie said nervously.
She phased through the ceiling and to the second floor by the master bedroom. Before Jackie and Matt could even exit their room, Jessie quickly slammed the door shut it while she used a chair to barricade it. Jackie peeked through with a glare. "HEY!"
Jessie smiled at her mockingly. "Sorry, Grams, didn't want you to go out of style."
Jackie trembled her fists angrily while she narrowed her eyes even more. "Stop calling me GRAMS!" She brought her fist up while Jessie closed the door, just before the obese woman made a huge dent on the door.
Back in the skies of Amity Park, the shadow continued to chase Dani at her tail before they phased through the car just before it exploded and beeped from the shadow's bad luck power.
Dani glanced at her phone again urgently. "Come on, guys!" She said to her friends.
"She's working on it!" Sam said through her phone.
The shadow appeared in front of her and punched Dani in the face while she crashed onto a park bench with a grunt, half demolishing it. The shadow began to circle around her in the air as it smirked and prepared to attack her again.
"We're good to go!" Tina said through the phone.
Dani smiled as she got her next phase of her plan into action. "Time for somebody else to get a little dose of bad luck." She said before she flew up and held out the ring. "Catch me if you can, spooky!" And then she flew away with the shadow at her tail.
Back at the Fenton Works household, Jackie continued to punch and head-butt their barricaded door while the wall cracked from her unusual strength.
"Jackie, calm down!" Matt said as he pulled his wife away from the door before he smiled calmly. "Try being a little more gentle." Unaware to both of them, Dani phased through their door and so did the shadow, making the door short-circuit a little. Matt walked up to the door and gently turned the knob before the door fell off its hinges. "See?"
"Well, hey, I loosened it!" Jackie pointed out.
Back in the lab, Kyle and Jessie stared at each other and they smiled romantically as they held out their hands and were about to reach for each other.
However, Dani phased back into the lab and phased through the genetic scanner machine while the shadow mistakenly flew right through it as well, making the machine explode. Jessie stared at it in shock when she gasped before she glanced back at the portal with wide eyes.
"JESSIE!" Kyle shouted as he reached his hand through the portal, but then it closed on him while his hand turned to mist.
"Kyle! No! No! NOOOoooOOOoOOO!" Jessie cried between punches until she collapsed to her knees while she sobbed and buried her face on the gates.
The shadow gawked when it realized the mistake it had made while Dani scowled at it. She then turned to James, who was still worn out from the clothes as he dropped to his knees and groaned in a daze. The shadow then attacked the ghost girl, but she quickly evaded it.
Dani held out the ring with a smile. "You want this stuff? You're gonna have to be faster than that!" She said before she phased through the ceiling again.
"Shadow, return!" Jessie ordered before it obeyed her and phased into Jessie while she growled menacingly.
Outside, Dani phased out of her house and flew across the street just as Jessie phased through the ground and mounted on her motorcycle with a glare. She revved her vehicle and took off down the street, after Dani.
Just then, Jackie and Matt ran out of the house in their jumpsuits, looking angry when they witnessed Jessie riding away. "She's on the run!" Jackie exclaimed as she hopped from the steps.
"And I got the Fenton Anti Creep Stick! Let's get her!" Matt said as he held up a regular old bat, with a look of anticipation under his mask.
Jackie smiled at her husband somewhat uneasily. "Honeypie, that's regular bat."
"Yep, but it's a bat with the word 'Fenton' on it." And he hopped down into the street as Jackie watched in awe.
"Man, that's hot!"
In the outskirts at the edge of Amity Park, Dani landed in the middle of the fields as she turned around and found a headlight shining at her. Jessie approached towards her on her motorcycle until she braked to a halt a few feet away and narrowed her eyes at the ghost girl.
"I don't know what you're up to, kid, but there's nowhere to run." Jessie said to Dani, who only remained silent while she grinned. "Shadow, fetch!" She waved her hand as the shadow flew out and charged straight towards Dani.
"Maybe I'm not trying to run…" Dani said, looking unfazed by the shadow.
Meanwhile, Sam pulled some wires from a pole and handed them to Tina, who was back in her regular clothing. She began to plug them into her PDA while she began to mess around with her trusty device.
"Pass the circuit breaker here, ramp up the watigh there, reroute the power here…" Tina murmured to herself as she pressed some buttons.
The shadow got closer to Dani. "HIT IT!" She shouted to her friend.
"Hitting it!" Tina pressed a button on her PDA before headlights flickered on overhead. It was revealed that they were all on an outdoor baseball stadium when the lights hit the shadow dead on as it wailed in agony.
Dani shielded her eyes from the brightness while she watched the shadow twitch in pain. "Maybe I'm exactly where I wanted to be."
The shadow continued to wail until it faded into nothing. "Oh no, my shadow! My power! I gotta get out of here!" Jessie said nervously.
Before she could even kick-start her motorbike, she looked ahead when Dani punched her off her scooter as she tumbled on the grass with a grunt. "Better luck next time!" Jessie sat up and stared at Dani with some fear. "But next time…" Then she uncapped her thermos and began to capture Jessie in while she shrieked until she got completely sucked in, while her motorcycle disappeared as well, before Dani recapped the thermos with a smile. "...stay away from my brother."
She changed back into human form and landed on the ground just as her friends came up to her. They all smiled at each other, until Dani's parents arrived with the bat. "Dani, where's James' girlfriend?" Matt demanded as he held up the bat.
Dani quickly hid the thermos behind her back as she smiled in triumph. "Gone, and she won't be coming back."
Jackie stared at her daughter with wide eyes. "You decked her? But we brought the bat...with the word 'Fenton' on it…" She mumbled sadly as she looked down at the grass.
"Oh, Jackie, she's like a little you." Matt cooed, which made his wife smile again. However, Dani grimaced at the thought while Sam and Tina only smiled at each other, knowing that everything was back to normal.
Dani, Jackie, and Matt all then returned home to Fenton Works after they 'scared' Jessie away. Then they all talked to James (who was no longer wearing Kyle's clothes) in the kitchen, while he looked a little down. He was a little shameful by the way he has been acting towards his family since he met Jessie.
"I can't believe that kid broke into the house just to see you, it's so romantic…" Matt said to his son, looking a little happy with his arm around his shoulder, until he frowned. "But you still can't ever see her again."
"I told you that girl was bad news!" Jackie and Dani said to James in unison while they pumped their fists up in the air. They both stared at each other before Jackie smiled and placed her hand on her daughter's shoulder while she remained silent.
James smiled a little. "Yeah...yeah, you did. You both did, but you told me first." James said to Dani as he ruffled his sister's hair happily.
"Hey." Dani said with a small frown.
"I love you, too." And he walked away after a long night.
"Which reminds me, Dani." Jackie said when she leaned close to her with a bright smile on her face. "You've been such a modeled daughter lately, I got you a little surprise: a little piece of me! You can always carry it with you." She said to her youngest daughter.
The next day, Jackie dropped off Dani outside of Casper High from her Fenton RV. "Bye, Dani! Have a great day!" Jackie said before she drove off.
Apparently, her little 'surprise' for her daughter was her signature orange jumpsuit, but it was twice her size. Dani wore an embarrassing frown all the way to school while Sam and Tina stared at her with some pity and confusion by this.
"Somehow, that doesn't seem possible." Sam said while he cocked an eyebrow.
Daph and Kwyn walked up to the trio as they talked to Tina. "Good news, Foley, we're gonna stop making fun of you and go back to making fun of Fentina!" Daph said before she turned to her most favorite harassing victim with a smirk. "Wimp, geek, freak."
Dani growled angrily from her throat while the cheerleaders walked away. "Thank you!" Tina said happily, only to earn a glare from Dani.
"I need a new image, can I borrow your PDA?" Dani grumbled to Tina.
Tina recoiled when she held her PDA close to her cheek as she frowned at her best friend. "Get your own thing, girl!" Dani frowned again while Sam rolled his eyes silently.
