Danny, Jazz and Cujo reappeared in an alleyway and sat down on the ground, he then split the bread into three equal pieces and gave one each to Jazz and Cujo.
"Let's eat guys" Danny said as he was about to take a bite out of his piece, but then he stopped when he noticed three little kids looking through rubbish bins for food.
The children then looked at them and noticed the food in their hands, Danny looked at Jazz and Cujo however the dog gave Danny a look and took a bite out of his piece. Danny then looked back at the kids and then smiled, he walked over and gave his bread to the kids.
"Here you go. You guys need it more than I do" Danny said. Jazz followed behind and gave them her piece too. The children smiled at them and before they knew it, Cujo gave them his piece as well.
The trio then heard trumpets coming from the street, so they went to go take a look. Coming down the road was Prince Dash, an athletically built 16 year old boy and he was heading towards the palace to present himself before the princess. Suddenly the three children from the alley came running onto the street and they accidently ran into Dash and man was he angry!
"GET OUT OF MY WAY BRATS!" Dash yelled as he was about to hit them, but then he was stopped by Danny who stopped the blow by creating a force field around them and then Jazz moved the kids out of the way.
"HEY! If I was as rich as you, I could afford some manners!" Danny shouted.
"I'LL TEACH YOU SOME MANNER!" Dash yelled back as he punched Danny and made him land in the mud. Everyone laughed at Danny's misfortune. Jazz ran over and helped Danny get up from the mud and then Cujo intangibly made the mud slide of him.
"Hey look guys, it's not every day you see a guy that's all muscle and no brain!" Danny exclaimed causing Dash to turn around and sneer at him in anger.
"You are a worthless ghost freak. You were born a ghost freak, you'll die a ghost freak and only the fleas from that dog will mourn you!" Dash said and then the gates shut to the palace shut as Danny tried to run up to him and punch him.
"I'M NOT WORTHLESS! And Cujo doesn't have fleas" Danny said as Jazz and Cujo walked up to him and tried to comfort him.
"I don't think you're worthless at all little brother and I don't ever think you're a freak either" Jazz said in an attempt to make him feel better.
"Thanks Jazz, at least you two care. Come on guys, let's go home" Danny said and then three left.
The trio lived in their parents home, it was a large house that looked like it had a UFO on it. Danny and Jazz remembered from when they were little kids that their parents had tried to build a portal to the Ghost Zone, however there was an accident when Danny got shocked from the inside and he gained ghost powers. Their mother died when Danny was 10 years old and Jazz was 12 years old, ever since then they continued to live in the old FentonWorks building along with Cujo who Danny always had as a pet.
DANNY
Riff raff, street rat
I don't buy that
If only they'd look closer
Would they see a poor boy?
No siree
They'd find out
There's so much more to me
Cujo then laid down in his dog bed and went to sleep, while Jazz and Danny walked up to the roof of the Ops Centre and looked at the view. From the roof you could see the palace where the royal family lived and almost every night they would gaze in wonder at it.
"Jazz do you think our mother is happy the way we're living?" Danny asked.
"I don't know Danny, it's not like we've had much of a choice" Jazz answered.
"I know. But I'm telling you Jazz, someday things will be different. I'll become somebody and then we'll be rich and live in a palace and we'll have no problems at all" Danny said as he continued to stare at the palace.
"Maybe little brother. But you're already somebody" Jazz said.
"To you maybe but, I want everyone to know that. I want to become somebody that like our mother could've been proud of and I don't know how exactly how but I will, somehow" Danny said and then he looked up at the sky and thought about his mother. They sure missed her a lot.
DANNY
Proud of your boy
I'll make you proud of your boy
Believe me, bad as I been, Ma
You're in for a pleasant surprise
I've wasted time
I've wasted me
So say I'm slow for my age
A late bloomer, okay I agree
That I've been one rotten kid
Some son, some pride and some joy
But I'll get over these lousing up
Messing up, screwing up times
You'll see, Ma, now comes the better part
Someone's gonna make good
Cross his stupid heart
Make good and finally make you
Proud of your boy
Tell me that I've been a louse and a loafer
You won't get a fight here, no ma'am
Say that I'm a goldbrick, a goof-off, no good
But that couldn't be all that I am
Water flows under the bridge
Let it pass, let it go
There's no good reason that you should believe me
Not yet, I know but
Someday and soon
I'll make you proud of your boy
Though I can't make myself taller
Or smarter or handsome or wise
I'll do my best, what else can I do?
Since I wasn't born perfect like dad or you
Mum, I will try to
Try hard to make you
Proud of your boy
And Jazz and Danny continued to look at the night sky and then finally they went to bed for the night. For a new day will soon begin.
