beccalovesbumblebee- So I promised Seasonal updates, so here is one. Thanksgiving! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE. I am thankful for my family, my writing, and for my readers/reviewers, I love you all. Okay as you know I do not own Scooby-doo, and the Ghoul school, or Danny Phantom at all.
Chapter Seventeen
(Dani's P.O.V.)
"Wake up, Dani!" Phanty yelled.
"What is it Tas? You know my favorite thing about mornings is when they are over," I muttered sarcastically, opening my eyes to Phantasma's blue face in the dim light of dawn. "It's way too early."
"Come on you, lazy load." Phanty laughed. "Miss Grimwood wants us to come downstairs. It is the day before Thanksgiving."
"Fine, but I am not taking the steps," I commented. I threw off my covers, and looked out the window. The sky was still a light shade of purple, and the moon was slowly fading away as the sun rose.
"I never do," Phanty said. She phased halfway through the floor to prove a point.
"I'm coming," I said diving head first through the floor.
We found Miss Grimwood sitting at the head of the table with Shaggy, Scooby-doo, Scrappy, Matches, and the rest of the girls.
"Phantasma, thank you for giving Dani her wake up call," Miss Grimwood said as me, and Phanty took our seats next to each other.
The Octopus bulter walked around the table slowly with a hat that had small pieces of paper. "Everyone grab a slip of paper from the job hat," Miss Grimwood commanded.
The Octopus held out the hat for everyone. He started with Phanty, then went to me. I mixed up the paper in the hat, before I grabbed a slip of paper. I was going to open up my paper, but Miss Grimwood, and Phanty stopped me.
"Wait," Phanty whispered.
After the jobs were all taken Miss Grimwood spoke up," Now unfold your paper."
I did, and I saw that I had the job of announcements. Phanty was Miss Grimwood's helper. Sibella was in charge of dusting. Shaggy, Scooby, Scrappy, and Matches were in charge of the turkey. Elsa was in charge of pumpkin pie. Tanis was jumping up, and down in excitement for her job, which was straightening rooms, and thinking of a craft for us to do tomorrow morning, before the craziness begins. Winnie was howling with excitement, she was in charge of gathering potatoes, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, and squash from the garden.
"Okay, everyone understand what they have to do?" Miss Grimwood asked.
"No, I don't understand what you mean by announcements," I spoke up.
"You need to go around, and see who's coming," Miss Grimwood explained.
"Okay. Do I get a list?" I asked trying to be smart.
"No, you don't need one," Winnie exclaimed.
"We invite our fathers, and the Calloway cadets," Tanis explained.
"Me, and Cornell Calloway take turns hosting the turkey dinner," Miss Grimwood said.
"And this year is our turn," Phantasma said with a laugh.
"Zoinks, and we are responsible for the turkey," Shaggy exclaimed looking at Scooby, and Scrappy.
"Don't worry Shaggy," Sibella said flashing a fanged smile. "Matches knows how to do the turkey."
"Shaggy, go get the turkey out to thaw it out," Miss Grimwood commanded. "Everyone else get started with your jobs."
Everyone separated to do their jobs.
I was sent flying from here to there starting with the school next door. I phased through the mess halls wall, and found the Cadets doing their mid-morning drills.
"Cornell Calloway, are you still coming to Grimwood's tomorrow for dinner?" I asked.
"Affirmative," Cornell Calloway answered.
"Alright, then I will see you later Cornell. Bye Tug, Jamal, Miguel, Grunt, and Cadet Baxter. See you guys tomorrow," I said before I went back through the wall, and headed towards Dracula's place.
It didn't take me long; but I did take a shortcut through the ghost zone. I was transported through the Count's fireplace. I could make out Dracula's purple face as I rolled out of his fireplace covered in ash.
"I was not aware it was Christmas yet. I thought Santa was giving me a snack. You my dear are lucky I didn't light my fire today. So Grimwood sent you to do the leg work this year?" Count Dracula asked.
"It is more like being the wings. So, I am assuming that you are coming to dinner tomorrow?" I asked Sibella's Father.
"Of course! I wouldn't miss it, Who is in charge of the turkey this year?" Dracula asked.
I laughed at his question. "Coach Rogers, Scooby, and Scrappy, are in charge of the turkey."
"Shaggy, with him it will probably be burnt, or he will eat it." The Count laughed.
"Well Daddy Drac, I have some other stops to make," I said before I went back through his fireplace, and back into the ghost zone.
Next stop was to the Mummy's hideaway. When I looked at the portal it was dark on the other side. I wasn't sure what else to do so I went through the portal, and found myself in Tanis' mummy case. I phased through it, and searched for her Father. There was soft snoring coming from the other mummy case. "What should I do?" I asked myself.
I decided to knock on the mummy case. As I knocked a soft groan could be heard from inside. The door to the mummy case opened revealing Tanis' mummy Daddy. His eyes were glowing red, and I wasn't sure how mad he was that I woke him from his nap.
"I'm sorry Miss Grimwood sent me to-" I was cut off when the mummy pulled me into a hug. I nearly flinched when he grabbed me, but then I remembered that my friend's fathers, who were generally frightening, had soft spots in their hearts for any friend of their daughters.
"I know why she sent you, and I am so glad to see you," The Mummy said, his bandaged face smiled at me.
"Are you coming tomorrow?" I asked as the Mummy sat me on the ground.
"Yes, my Tanis would be so disappointed if I didn't come," The Mummy said, he forwned slightly at the thought of his daughter being disappointed, especially by him.
"Alright, I will see you there," I said phasing through the wall, and headed toward where Frankenteen lived. He was coming to Grimwood's along with the other parents. The last parent I had to check on were mine. I pulled out my Fenton phones, and called for Danny.
"Dani, are you okay?" Danny's strong voice responded.
"Yes, Dad I am fine. Miss Grimwood wanted to know if you were coming for Thanksgiving?" I asked.
"I don't know if I can make it. Me, and Sam are spending time with our families tomorrow," Danny responded in a disappointed tone.
"It's alright Danny. I understand," I responded trying not to sound disappointed.
"I will try my best to make it there," Danny said. "What time is dinner?"
"I guess whenever Coach Rogers finishes the turkey," I admitted. "I would say that it would be around two."
"Alright, Dani. I will talk to Sam about it, and I will call you tonight. Be safe, and I love you," Danny said.
"I love you too Dad," I responded. The line was cut off, and I headed back towards Grimwood's.
Everyone was waiting for me when I got back. They all knew what I was going to say, but they just wanted to hear it.
"Well, Daddy Drac, Mummy Daddy, Papa Wolf, Dada Frankenteen, Phanty's Father "the foul tempered phantom",and Cornell Calloway, and the Cadets will be here," I announced.
Thanksgiving Eve was coming to an end, and the real chaos would begin in the morning.
