The next day Danny was standing completely still in his ghost form, wearing a fake lion's skin and while holding a club and shield while a painter was painting him on a vase and Theo was listing Danny's schedule for the day.
"At one you got a meeting with King Albeus" Theo started. "He's got a problem with his stables so I advise you not to wear your good sandals…"
"Uh Theo?" Danny said as he moved a little which then the artist shouted, "I told you don't move!"
Danny remained still once more as Theo continued, "At three, you gotta get a girdle from some Amazons"
That's when Danny had enough and so he threw the club and shield while shouting in frustration, "Theo what's the point?!"
The shield had hit the vase which completely wrecked the painting, the artist then screamed in anger as he started walking out, "THAT'S IT!"
"Keep your toga on pal!" Theo shouted but the artist threw all his paints on him and then stormed out of the room.
Theo grimaced in disgust as his face was now completely covered in paint and the wiped it off with the fake lion's skin after Danny threw it off himself while changing back into his human form and asked in confusion, "What do you mean what's the point? You want to go to Olympus don't ya?"
"Yeah but this stuff doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere" Danny said as he sat down.
"You can't give up now, I'm counting on you" Theo said.
Danny sighed and bowed his head in sadness as he said, "It's not the same as being a true hero though Theo. I gave this everything I had"
Theo looked at Danny in sympathy, knowing he was referring to what Fright Knight had told him at the temple the previous night. He then said as he lifted Danny's head up by his chin, "Listen to me kid, I have seen them and I am telling you and this is the honest to Fright Knight's truth, you got something I've never seen before and that something is what's gonna get you through this"
"Really?" Danny asked with a smile. Theo smiled glad his pep talk was working and answered, "I can feel it right down in these stubby legs of mine. There is nothing you can't do kid"
Suddenly the doors busted open and a bunch of teenage girls who were fans of Danny squealed in excitement as they saw Danny and then rain inside and started fighting over him as they screamed, "I touched his elbow! / Oh my gosh! I touched his cape! / He's so cute! / be my boyfriend ghost-boy!"
Danny fell to the ground as they crushed him with their feet and then Danny cried in desperation, "Theo help!"
Theo kneeled down and then whispered with a smirk, "Okay. Time for escape plan beta"
Danny nodded as best as he could with the foot that was on his face. Theo then ran to the door and blew a whistle, Danny then quickly turned invisible as he changed into his ghost form and phased out of the group of girls. The girls then stopped and all asked, "Where is he?"
"THERE HE GOES ON THE VERANDAH!" Theo called out as he gestured out the open door.
The girls all then ran out screaming for Danny and because Theo couldn't resist the beauty of those women, he chased after them. Behind the door was Sam and she closed it and then started walking around the room looking for Danny, she then heard a noise and turned around to see a vase in the room had moved, she smirked knowing who it was.
"Hey Danny it's okay, it's Sam. The girls are gone now or as I like to call them, the sea of raging hormones" She called out.
Danny turned visible and back into his human form and smiled as he fixed his toga up and said, "Gee it's great to see you Sam. I missed you"
"So this is what heroes do on their days off?" Sam asked as she sat down on the couch. Danny scoffed with a chuckle and said, "I'm no hero"
"Sure you are" Sam said as she looked at a vase on the table. "Everybody in Greece thinks you're the greatest thing since they put the pocket in pita bread"
Danny chuckled and said, "Yeah I know it's crazy. I can't go anywhere without being mobbed by all these crazy fan girls"
"Definitely sounds like you could use a break" Sam pointed out. "You think your nanny goat would go berserk if you played hooky this afternoon?"
"I don't think I can because Theo's got the day pretty much booked and…" Danny began but Sam cut him off as she held him by the front of his shirt and said, "Ah forget about the schedule, you need to be a little bit rebellious. Look just follow me out the window, round the dumbbells, you just phase us out the back wall and we're gone"
Danny smiled and decided to go along with it.
