*Standing in front of four teenagers, a man wearing an orange jumpsuit with black boots - Jackson (Jack) Fenton - is ready to practically force his son in the family legacy such as ghost-hunting. But unfortunately, Daniel (Danny) Fenton, a boy with jet-black hair dressed in a red and white shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers (which happen to be the same colors as his shirt) wasn't interested with the type of stuff his parents are involved in, even if he and one of his best friends were apart of the prey his parents would be hunting.
And sitting beside him were his most trustworthy friends: a girl who also owns jet-black, an African-American boy, and lastly, another girl with brunette-colored hair found themselves quietly seated, unfortunately, all three are forced into the lecture the man intended on giving if they're even interested in this type of stuff.
Obviously, they aren't.
Besides Danny, one of the girls of his friend group -- Samantha (Sam) Manson, is wearing what a goth girl her age would be wearing: a black-and-purple tank top that exposes her midriff, a black skirt with green plaid stripes, purple tights, and black boots. Not only is being a self-proclaimed goth her personality, but she happens to be fascinated with the subliminal and netherworld and is a very outspoken ultra-recyclo-vegetarian.
While seated next to Sam, the other boy -- Tucker Foley, is wearing a red hat with a yellow shirt along with green pants and brown boots which leaves him beside the other girl that sat on the other side of Danny, putting Tucker and Sam in between the middle.
Lastly, there sat Caroline (Carrie) Mayth, where the girl has a similar lifestyle appearance as the Manson teen. And if both she and Sam didn't meet that day in kindergarten, she would've gone either punk rock, gothic, or at least the emo phase during their third grade.
So Carrie went with the rebel phase where her daily outfit is usually faded black ripped jeans, gray converse, and a gray long-sleeved shirt that has a large black skull in the middle. She even thought about dying her hair a different color, (even if she does enjoy it being left in a ponytail) but due to not wanting it damaged, she decides to leave the normal color to match her beloved mother's, which was dark brown.
But to top her look off, as a token of her and Sam's friendship, Sam had gifted Carrie a bracelet that owned a skull as well, and ever since then, she never once took it off.*
Jack: So, Danny, you and your little friends want to hunt ghosts.
Danny: Uh, actually, Dad… *Chuckles nervously* I want to be an astronaut.
*Once the Fenton boy gave his honest option on what he desires to do in the future instead of practically being forced into learning the family legacy both his parents do for a living, he looked towards his three best friends -- wanting for their honest opinions.*
Sam: Sorry, Mr. Fenton, I was into ghosts, but they're so mainstream now. They're like cellphones.
Tucker: Waste these looks and all this charisma hunting ghosts? Criminal.
*The three turn their gazes towards Carrie as the brunette-haired teen is last to speak her personal opinion. And due to being the other super-powered, ghost-fighting person a part of their group, she let out a quiet sigh and finally decided to answer.*
Carrie: *Shrugs her shoulders* Honestly, as much love as I have in robotics, Mr. Fenton, I'm gonna have to pass, too… Uh, no offense.
*Though, seeing as the man seemed to own a half brain of his own, (either that or listening skills) he continues on with the lecture.*
Jack: Well, if you do want to hunt ghosts, there are a few things you need to learn.
*Just when Jack goes over towards the counter behind them and holds a couple of beakers alongside some test tubes, both Danny and Carrie's blue/green ghost senses escape their mouths, meaning there's a ghost nearby.*
Danny: *Gasp* Oh, no… This isn't good.
Carrie: Way to point out the obvious.
*The ghost portal opens, freeing a couple of regular green ghosts, ready to attack any mortal being around them. And those only mortal figures happened to be Sam, Tucker, and Jack as they wrapped their tails around the two teens and lifted them into mid air.*
Jack: True, I've never seen a ghost, but when I do, I'll be prepared, and so will you, whether you wanna be or not.
*Still oblivious to seeing actual ghosts within the basement of the Fenton home, Danny and Carrie had no choice but to go ghost, in order of rescuing their best friends; and that's what they did. The crime-fighting duo turned into the part of the ghost running through their molecule systems, and took on each ghost, as they began attacking them.*
Jack: *Holds up a thermostat* It all starts with equipment.
*While Danny managed to get the two normal figures released, Carrie carefully placed them back down, and jumped back into the fight.*
Jack: Sam, Tucker, this is the Fenton Thermos. *Hands the object to Sam before turning his back* It's supposed to trap ghosts. But since it doesn't work, and it's just a thermos -- a thermos with the word 'Fenton' in front of it.
*Just as he explained the metal cylinder machine, Carrie sent a kick alongside Danny, shoving the half-tired monsters back in front of the ghost portal. Seeing that the green ghosts knew they weren't up against any mortals, the two fled, allowing the doors to shut completely, giving both fighters a chance to resume their human forms, and back towards their seats beside the frightened duo.*
Jack: *Points to the ghost portal* And that? That is the Fenton portal, and it releases ghosts into our world, whether I want it to or not. *Taps the metal door with a proud smirk* Someday, I'll figure out how that works!
Carrie: *Leaning against Sam's chair* How about maybe not releasing them?
Jack: Now, *Walks over to stand in front of the two shaking teenagers* who wants to fight ghosts?
*Both Sam and Tucker were filled with nothing but silence and anxiety in fear while Danny and Carrie breathed heavily from the fight.*
Jack: You kids. Look at you. You're too excited to speak. So I'll go on speaking… *Wears another prideful smirk* I was born many years ago in a log cabin in the woods. I don't remember where, but I do know I wanted a pony. Never got the pony. As a matter of fact, we had to eat horse meat -- during the war. I had a problem with that…
*During the ghost-hunter's weird, unusual backstory, the four side-eye one another as Carrie face-palmed herself, having a feeling that this would be a very long lesson with someone like Jack Fenton himself, and would happily take on more of those bland ghosts when she's in need of releasing stress.*
*After last night's ghost incident, the next morning has arrived and Carrie found herself sitting at the dining table happily enjoying her breakfast, which was a couple of her mother's special vegan blueberry pancakes and a cup of orange juice while Jocelyn (Joyce she mostly prefers by her friends) had been constantly going over her case since being a lawyer takes tons of time to process her client's defense where some are unfortunately paid to take the wrong person's side in court.
Listening to the constant typing on her mother's laptop, an email shows up in the middle of the screen, causing Joyce to groan at the sight of it, seeing that it happens to be another one from her ex-husband himself.*
Carrie: He sent you another one, huh?
Joyce: *Slightly nods head* Uh-huh. But he means well.
*After saying this, she practically sends it to the trash, not needing what feels to be the tenth email in a row.*
Carrie: *Scoffs* Really? It's been almost 8 years and yet, he doesn't even invite us over. He just sits in his unbothered mansion, reading unbothered books in his unbothered library, and spends time in his unbothered laboratory.
Joyce: I know, but it's funny watching him fail at wanting to spend time with us.
Carrie: *Mutters* At least a phone call would've been nice once a while...
Joyce: Honestly, I wouldn't want to speak to him unless it's important.
Carrie: More important than his daughter?
Joyce: *Leans against her chair* No, not exactly.
*Without saying another word, Carrie took a sip of her orange before noticing the deep focus her mother is plastered with upon the laptop, she raised an eyebrow, and practically guessed which case Joyce had taken.*
Carrie: Sooo, when you say Carter still isn't communicating properly, do you mean body language wise, or the way he speaks?
Joyce: *Sighs through her nose and looks up* Honestly, Care, if I had to choose to either defend someone like him or even a person that complains most of the time, I'd still choose him.
Carrie: *Narrows her face to the side* At least you're not defending a murder.
Joyce: *Tiredly raises her eyebrows* Yes, at least I'm not defending a murder. And if I was, I sure wouldn't take that kind of case in a split second.
*While the woman's green eyes retraced themselves back onto her laptop, Carrie held her fork towards her mouth, ready for another bite of pancakes until suddenly, the brunette's entire arm became intangible, instantly causing the fork to harshly clink back onto her plate.*
Carrie: *Gasps and hides her arm that's seen within her own green orbs* Uh… Sorry! Heheh, my… *Feels her skin become tangible and starts to slightly slam it against the table* arm--! must've fallen asleep!
*She nervously laughs at her mother's reaction from her daughter's strange outburst of accidentally dropping the metal folk. And without saying another word…*
Joyce: *Checks her watch* Oh, well, would you look at the time, I gotta go. *Starts packing up her briefcase* Uh, do you need a ride to school?
*After the woman said this, Carrie then finishes up her pancakes and orange juice, gets up from her seat to place the dirty dishes into the sink until her hand becomes intangible once again, and this time, accidentally drops the plate onto the floor, shattering it completely.*
Carrie: *Owning a shocked expression* Oh, noo… Mom, I'm so sorry, I-- uh, I don't know what got over my hands and arms falling asleep! I...
*While attempting to apologize, the rebel teen realized she was rambling. So she immediately stops and holds her arm, feeling every ounce of embarrassment.*
Joyce: *Chuckles softly* Oh, honey, it's alright, accidents happen. Though… this is the second plate you've dropped. Are you sure you're not having one of those episodes about your father wanting to see you next month at his college reunion?
Carrie: *Scoffs* Noo… I'm, uh, just a little tired. But I'll be okay at school, I have my friends with me. And besides, why do I have to go? He's some loner who decided to pack his things and leave us for no reason at all!
Joyce: *Shakes her head* Even though we already talked about this… Look, I know we both have had it rough these past years, but he's trying to make up for lost times, so let's just get on with it, yeah?
Carrie: *Groans and crosses her arms* Fine, but only because he was best friends with the Fentons, and that means Danny will definitely be there! But if I'm going, you're going, too. Isn't that fair?
*Understanding her daughter's grudge against her ex-husband, Joyce slams her laptop shut, thinking of the memories she had of him when they used to be madly in love during college. But at the same time, she didn't want her child to be alone on this; even if Carrie's best friend would be with them the whole trip.*
Joyce: Fine, if it makes you happy, I'll go. *Zips up her briefcase* Besides, he's well overdue for a lecture. *Holds up blue school bag* Still need a ride?
*And thus, Carrie was unfortunately sent to one of the highest public schools in Amity Park known to be Casper High School, the building filled with some under-appreciated, unpaid teachers to teach students the life outside of them being reckless, irresponsible teenagers and attempt to grow them into young fine men and women.
Even if both Danny and Carrie owned the ghost gene running through their body systems, and uses them to fight battles against the evil ghosts that planned on taking over the mortal world, they still have lives as normal humans. But then, is keeping their powers a secret from their families a terrible thing?*
Danny: I think I should tell them.
*The four teens held up the stairs to discuss their personal issues in a little more private area, specifically about acceptance.*
Sam: Why? Parents don't listen. Even worse, they don't understand… WHY CAN'T THEY ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AMM!?
Danny: Sam, I'm talking about our… *Adjusts his hand towards Carrie* powers -- our problems.
Sam: Oh, right. Me, too.
Danny: It's been a month since the accident, and I still barely have any control.
Carrie: Uh, me too. I mean, I don't exactly care what people think of me, except the fact that they think I can't control my anger when I most definitely CAN!
*Expressing her anger, the rebel figure suddenly punches the wall, but she then caused a hole to burst right through it when her hand is glowing its natural blue.*
Danny: See? Like that. And if somebody catches us, we go from Geeks to Freaks around here.
*As he said this, they look towards Carrie who crosses her arms, not even bothering to reply. Though, without even noticing, the bottom half of their body intangibles and they slowly began to phase through the floor.*
Tucker: Kind of like what you're both doing right now?
*Danny and Carrie both shout at the sights before Sam and Tucker each help their best friends out.*
Danny: Oh, darn it! If my dad can invent something that accidentally made us half-ghost, why can't he invent something that turns us back to normal?
*All four teenagers made it upstairs onto the second floor where the Fenton boy looked down at his hand and made his entire self become intangible as he walked through the vending machine, then resumed back into his flesh and bone self.*
Carrie: Oh, that reminds me too!
*She focuses and turns her hand intangible, then quickly goes towards the machine, and grabs a bag of chips, and tosses it to Tucker.*
Tucker: *Looks down at the barbecue-flavored bag in his hands* Sweet!
Carrie: *Holds her wrist* Third time I've used my powers today, so I figured since you lent me ten bucks for lunch last time, you earned it, Tuck.
Tucker: *Realizing when she meant that* Wait, when did I lend you ten bucks?!
Sam: Wow, third time. What'd you do this morning?
*Carrie cringed at the memory she's encountered as earlier, an old woman's cat got itself stuck high up on a tree -- meaning that being half-ghost, the girl has the ability to fly, and once she completed the whole above ground process, getting the kitty out of the tree wasn't as easy as Carrie thought it had planned to be.*
*Carrie (now in ghost form) flew up the tree to find the fluffy, white-furred cat digging her claws into the thick branch. "Come on, kitty. Time to get down now!" Carrie softly exclaimed and began to aggressively shake it.
"Oh, she's quite fragile, dear," the old woman softly tells the teenage ghost.
"Yeah, no kidding..." Carrie mutters under her breath.
"Here, Ms. Fluffykins! Come to Mama, darlin'." the elderly woman tried compromising with her pet, but nothing wouldn't work if you apparently talk to the furry animal.
While she constantly continues shaking the branch, "Come on, you insufferable, little- I'm gonna be late!" Carrie began to complain, seeing that she became very annoyed by the cat's behavior.
As the half-ghost constantly shook the branch, looks were given by other adults with their children that attended the sitting area -- all found themselves extremely shocked to see a person suddenly floating in mid-air.
"Come now, honeybatch, you don't want to miss din-din now, don't you?"
In hopes of listening to her owner, the phantom girl became extremely stressed out, (mostly impatient) at this moment, "Oh, for the love of--" and decided that this type of stuff wouldn't need reassurance, or easy-going.
And so, without hesitation, Carrie reached over, grabs hold of Ms. Fluffykins, and softly drops the furry creature into the old woman's arms.
Happy to have her beloved pet back in her arms, the old woman coos at Ms. Fluffy-kins and cradles her. "Oh! Why, thank you, ghost gal," she spoke with soft gratitude in her tone before strolling away from the odd, looking teenager.*
Carrie: *Shivers at the memory* So many twigs poking me in places!
Sam: Oh, come on, guys, your powers make you both look unique. Unique is good. That's why we're *Adjusts to herself and Carrie* ultra recyclo-vegetarians.
Carrie: *Placed her hands upon her hips* Meaning -- we're better!
Tucker: Which means what?
Danny: They don't eat anything with a face on it.
Tucker: Oh, who cares about that stuff-
Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow* Uh, we do?
Tucker: Whatever. And guys, two words: Meat Connoisseur. *Sniffs the blue-eyed boy beside him* Last night, you had sloppy joes.
Danny: Impressive.
Tucker: Meat heightens the senses, and my all-meat streak is 14 years strong.
Carrie: *Looks over at Sam while holding in a laugh* You wanna tell him, or should I?
Sam: Oh, I will. Well, Tucker, your all-meat streak is about to end. *Crosses her arms and smirks* The school board finally agreed to try a new cafeteria menu. We wore them down.
*Both boys of their group become confused, but mostly concerned as to what their girl friends were talking about.*
Tucker: *Owning a shocked face* Wait… What did you guys do?
Carrie: *Snickers and placed an arm around Sam* Well, let's just say that being vegetarians is one of the reasons why we're the bestest friends.
*The moment Carrie said this, the two took off, scurrying down the halls down towards the cafeteria, she knew Danny didn't exactly mind anything, but then again, he enjoys meat as well.*
Sam: *Giggles* Wait until he finds out that they officially changed the menu for who knows how long.
Carrie: Yeah, this is gonna be fun to watch… *Remembers what she was planning to say after the black-haired girl's expressive feeling earlier* Hey, uh, you know the offer still stands by the way, my mom still insists.
*Sam felt something in her stomach, like a butterfly feeling sort-of thing and somewhat awkward about the kind offer.*
Sam: And I really appreciate it, but maybe someday. Thanks, Care.
*On today's menu of the school's lunch schedule, it was every meat lovers' nightmare as the miserable lunch ladies passed on bread filled with topsoil and some fresh green grass to the top off. Both girls finally made it to the area and met up to their guy friends whose trays were filled with the horrors of healthy greens.*
Danny: *Raises one eyebrow at the three beside him* What is this? Grass on a bun?
Tucker: *Dramatically* WHAT HAVE YOU TWO DONE?!
Carrie: Improved our healthy appetite.
Sam: Uh-huh. And Tucker, it's time for a change.
*Meanwhile, back at Fenton Works, the ghost portal out of nowhere opens where an elderly female ghost dressed in lunch lady garb walks out of the portal, owning an innocent gaze plastered upon her facial expression.*
Lunch Lady Ghost: Ooh! Somebody changed the menu!
*And so, the green-skinned ghost phases out through the basement's ceiling while Maddie and Jack Fenton are working on another invention, failing to notice the ghost at all as they appeared to believe that their elder daughter, Jasmine Fenton, (prefers to be known as Jazz) is a ghost when they're missing the picture of who the real ghost is in their family.*
Maddie: Maybe this is a bad idea.
Jack: No, it's perfect. When Jazz gets home we suck the ghost out of her… *Strikes a pose with the new invention which looks like a vacuum cleaner* a Fenton Xtractor.
Maddie: But what if Jazz isn't a ghost? What if we accidentally hurt her?
Jack: Maddie, the Fenton Xtractor doesn't hurt humans... unless it gets in your hair... *Turns it on and begins yelling in pain as the suction rips most of his hair out. After a few seconds, he is calm* ...See?
*Back at Casper High, Sam held the bread filled with grass up to her mouth, admiring the work both she and Carrie worked to get this first achievement done on school grounds before the four headed to their lunch table. And not even speaking a single word, Danny then holds a spoonful of the grass along with topsoil in his hand and looks at the girls that sat across from him and Tucker.*
Danny: Don't you guys think this is a little extreme?
Carrie: How do you know when you don't like it if you didn't even try it, dude? *Eats a spoonful of her own* Mmm-mmm, organic at its finest.
*Soon, one of the teachers (also the vice-principal) is a middle-aged man that's a bit overweight, bald and owns a goatee who most often wears a light-blue short-sleeved dress shirt with a black tie, gray slacks, and black shoes known as the one and only, Mr. Lancer strolls towards the four's table and places each hand on one of their shoulders.*
Mr. Lancer: Ah, Ms. Manson and Ms. Mayth. The school board wanted me to thank you both for ushering in this 'welcome experiment' to our cafeteria.
*Just when he moves to stand by the middle part of the table, Tucker's nostrils sense a strong scent that makes a boy (or girl) craving for meat.*
Tucker: *Sniffs* Meat. Near.
*When expressing this, the dark-skinned boy starts sniffing Mr. Lancer who was surprisingly taken by this odd behavior.*
Mr. Lancer: No, no. The rumors about the new all-steak buffet in the teachers' lounge are completely true. *Pulls out a toothpick and began to pick at his teeth* Thanks, again.
*After giving the two girls a nice pat on their shoulders, he slowly rushes off, leaving Tucker in an unhappy position once more.*
Tucker: Yeah. Thanks again for making us eat garbage, guys!
Sam: It's not garbage! It's recyclable organic matter.
Carrie: Yeah! Come on, Tuck, I bought you those barbecue potato chips you like, why are you still complaining?
Tucker: First of all, you didn't buy those, you… *Looks around the cafeteria for anyone paying attention* …stole them.
Carrie: *Crosses her arms and looks away from him* Whatever.
Tucker: And second of all...
*The turquoise-eyed teen looked towards Danny as backup, hoping the half-ghost boy would at least help him out with this reason. And without hesitation, the Fenton boy gladly agreed, backing him up.*
Danny and Tucker: *Owning annoyed expressions on their faces before saying this in sync* It's garbage!
*As a while, the lunch lady finished serving the last teen, and carefully gave a shifty eye, looking around to see if any meat lover would catch her as she grabbed a large hamburger that was hidden within her pockets and quickly snuck away.
But during her break, all of a sudden, an overweight green-skinned ghost lady with bright red evil eyes wearing the same lunch lady uniform all human lunch ladies were required to wear phases from above the school ceiling to find a book titled: 'Ultra Recyclo Veggie Lunch Menu', and this wasn't great news in his ghostly mind as she glares at it.
While the two that owned half-human and half-ghost in their molecules are having a bite of their own tray, (one of them actually) they gasp as their ghost scents went off.*
Danny: Uh, guys, we've got a problem.
Carrie: *Her eyes widened at something other than her green ghost sense * Danny, duck-!
*Unfortunately, warning him a little too late, Danny got a handful of mud land on the back of his head, making the blue-eyed teen groan before a voice was heard off-screen behind them.*
(?): FENTON!
Danny: *Turns around and grimaces* Make that two problems…
*Dashiell (Dash) Baxter, a large jock with dirty blonde hair and dark blue eyes storms over towards Danny while holding a plate of mud in his hands with an angry emotion plastered upon his face.*
Dash: I ordered three mud pies. Do you know what they gave me? Three mud pies! With mud. From the ground! All because of your girlfriend!
*And by 'girlfriend', the football jock is referring to Carrie as she narrowed her face at his words.*
Danny and Carrie: She's not my girlfriend/I'm not his girlfriend!
*The captain of the football squad grabs Danny by the shirt and lifts him a few inches off the ground.*
Dash: These are the best years of my life! After high school, it's downhill for me! How am I supposed to enjoy my glory days eating mud?!
Carrie: How do you even enjoy your glory days picking on others? Specifically, Danny? Ever think about that?!
Sam: Yeah, and for the record, it's topsoil.
*Dash eyes the two girls sternly and tosses Danny back at the table, making him land roughly on the bench.*
Dash: Whatever! *Goes over to his table, picks up the tray filled with mud, and placed it down right in front of Danny's face* Eat it. All of it.
*But just when Danny could go through with eating the topsoil, but both his and Carrie's ghost senses go off once again and their eyes look to see the Lunch Lady Ghost floating behind the lunch counter.*
Danny: Uh… uh… *Glances down at the plate, picks it up, preparing to toss it.* GARBAGE FIGHT!
*The moment he tossed the plate, allowing it to hit Dash in the face, it's been declared a war as all the other students begin throwing food as well and chaos ensues. Sam peeks out from behind a table alongside Carrie.*
Sam: It's not garbage! It's--
*Just when she could correct Danny, the gothic figure is pulled back down under the table with the help of Carrie before she could get hit.*
Carrie: I think it's for the best to keep quiet, seeing as we pretty much caused this. Besides, it was only for the good environment!
*As she said this, the rebel teen glares at both boys across from them who gave the two nervous smiles. But quickly, all four teens began crawling away from the cafeteria and as they crawled, Danny turned his head back, looking at an even angrier Dash with the garbage fight continuing behind him.*
Dash: You're gonna pay for this, Fenton! *Gets hit in the face with the mud, twice* You're so gonna pay!
Carrie: Even though that wouldn't teach him a lesson, that's the best karma yet!
Danny: Yet I'm still his favorite person.
*Just when the quartet managed to crawl their way out of the cafeteria, Danny and Tucker peek their heads to find the Lunch Lady Ghost holding a large bowl of salad.*
Tucker: Huh. Shouldn't be too bad. She looks a little like my grandmother.
*After saying that, both he and Danny are now standing in the room as Sam and Carrie peek out from behind the door.*
Carrie: *Raises her eyebrow at the new ghost she's seen so far* How come she's not attacking like all the other creepy ghosts?
Danny: Or shouldn't she be haunting a bingo hall?
*In the ears of the ghost, she heard the sound of the door closing and turned to find the four standing there, menacingly.*
Lunch Lady: Hello, children. Can you help me? Today's lunch is meatloaf, but I don't see the meatloaf. Did someone change the menu?
*However, something doesn't feel right after the words: 'change' and 'menu'.*
Carrie: Oh, no…
Tucker: Yeah. *Points his finger towards both girls beside him* They did.
*Suddenly, the Lunch Lady Ghost becomes extremely angry as her hair began to flame on the end and her eyes flash their brightest red.*
Lunch Lady: YOU TWO CHANGED THE MENU?!
*The four all gasp at the scary sight right before their eyes.*
Carrie: Ohh, *Sarcastically* way to tattle us to the ghost, Tucker!
Lunch Lady: THE MENU HAS BEEN THE SAME FOR FIFTY YEARS!
*As she yells, green flames surround her and circled above her head -- meaning it's the two ghost teens' time to shine their own phantom lights.*
Danny: Get behind us!
*And so they promptly jump behind the two super-powered duo.*
Sam: *Sarcastically* Wow. I feel safe.
Danny and Carrie: *In sync* I'm going ghost!
*There they transform into the crime-fighting super-powered phantom duo, and leaped, leaving Sam and Tucker watching them wide-eyed. The two float beside one another, feeling unsure about their battle with a ghost that can do anything the Lunch Lady Ghost does.*
Danny: We command you to… go away!
Carrie: *Cringes a bit* Yeah, what he said, whatever-your-name-is!
*The Lunch Lady Ghost then causes many piles of dishes surrounding a sink to begin to glow and float around. But before shooting them at Danny and Carrie, they turn intangible, causing the dishes to pass right through them, hitting the wall behind them. They returned to normal and gave each other high fives with large smiles on their faces at the accomplishment of not being hit.
Targeting the human person that's half-responsible for the menu change, Sam. A bunch of dishes is heading right for her, which Carrie sees and flies in front of her, catching them in neat stacks with her hands and arms. Next, the Lunch Lady Ghost uses her powers to send even more dishes flying toward Tucker, making him her next target until this caught Danny's eye.
He flies over and catches these dishes in stacks as well, while they have flown into his mouth. Tucker stops wincing after realizing Danny stopped the dishes and smiles. The ghost boy flies off to put the dishes back on the counter, leaving a few of them still in his mouth; he removes the glass objects and stares at his reflection.*
Danny: Well, if this superhero thing doesn't work out, I can have an exciting career as a busboy.
Carrie: Don't count on me for that, dude…
*While looking at his reflection on the plates, Danny notices the stoves behind him beginning to move around.*
Carrie: *Rolls her now blue-colored eyes* Oh, come on! It was just a simple change for our healthy appetites, lady!
Lunch Lady: I control lunch! Lunch is sacred! Lunch has rules! *Suddenly changes back to being calm while holding a pink cake* Anybody wants cake?
*Not only do Sam and Tucker nod their nods in shock, but Carrie does as well, seeing as she could go for something sweet at this time.*
Lunch Lady: Too bad! Children who change the menu do not get dessert!
*The Lunch Lady Ghost phases up out through the ceiling while the three stoves begin to emit green flames. The green flames fire out of the ovens towards Sam and Tucker who dodge out of the way. Danny and Carrie dodge blasts of flames as well, the three stoves look angry and fly right back at the normal teenagers, who flinch.
Both Danny and Carrie fly up behind them, grab each of their shoulders, and make their group intangible all together. The two quickly flew them through the wall and successfully out of the kitchen before the stoves could reach them all as they all came crashing against the walls, creating cracks when they flew.
Luckily, the quartet becomes tangible again and rolls out into the middle of the hallway as they all look behind them in shock.*
Carrie: *Looks at her hands in amazement* Woah, I think we did it…
Danny: *Also looks at his hands in amazement and smiles* Yes! It worked!
Tucker: *Head darts back at the two girls* I don't understand why she's angry at me and Danny when it was you two who changed the menu!
Sam: *Feeling irritated at the chaos that's been created and faces Carrie* This is the thanks we get for thinking like healthy individuals?
*Just then, a loud crash is suddenly heard and Tucker and Danny turn to look for the cause as the hallway begins shaking violently and the lights go out. Both phantom teens looked worried and then looked at the row of lockers closest to the Fenton boy himself.
Two of the lockers open and a bunch of school supplies come flying out. Sam looks at them in surprise when suddenly, a locker next to her does the same thing, and now many lockers are repeating those steps.
As they watched the supplies fly towards the Lunch Lady Ghost, and began swirling through her and behind her, the quartet looked even more shocked at this sight, but mostly Tucker's where his turquoise-colored eyes become widened just when he sniffs the air.*
Tucker: *Various meat products fly past him, making his nostrils fill with the sweet-scented smell of the beloved meat* Steak…! Rib-eye…! No, porterhouse! Medium-rare!
*The meat products start to attach themselves to the Lunch Lady Ghost's body until she is completely covered and only her mean green eyes are showing.*
Carrie: *Looks at Sam in shock* How could there be meat in the school?! We spent months -- planning the stupid presentation!
*While the rebel teen states angrily, feeling her eye twitch, this was also a shocker to her friends as well, especially Tucker.*
Tucker: But where did it come from? *Glares and turns to look behind him, remembering the exact words spoken by their dearest vice-principal* Lancer!
*And surprise-surprise, in the teachers' lounge, several teachers and staff members gathered around the room, patiently seated, waiting for the man to do the honors.*
Mr. Lancer: Esteemed Casper High faculty, I present your all-steak buffet.
*But the moment he removes the tablecloth covering the supposed buffet, some eager staff members with forks and knives gasp at the sudden missing meat, leaving nothing left, but a bone that was still rattling from side to side. Mr. Lancer realizes the odd reaction and looks down at the empty plates surrounding the table, and slams his hands on it.*
Mr. Lancer: PARADISE LOST!
*Back in the hallway, the meat-covered Lunch Lady Ghost towers over the quartet.*
Carrie: *Glares* Figures. That's why he was thanking me & Sam earlier! He never does that!
Lunch Lady: Prepare to learn why meat is the most powerful of the five food groups!
Carrie: Well, it shouldn't be!
*The ghost suddenly loses her rage and goes back to the 'innocent lunch lady mode,' holding up a cookie, and offers it to Sam in a kindly manner voice.*
Lunch Lady: *Softly* Cookie?
*Sam then shakes her head 'no,' making the ghost become very surprised as she was turned down for a split second before reverting back into the 'evil lunch lady mode.'*
Lunch Lady: *Raises a clawed hand to attack Sam* THEN PERISH!
*Both half-ghosts slide in to protect their best friend from perishing the awful that is the meat-covered claw of the Lunch Lady Ghost.*
Carrie: *Points a stern finger* Nobody hurts my friends and gets away with it! *Suddenly changes back into her human self, feeling a bit woozy* Huh…? That wasn't supposed to happen…
Danny: *Raises a concerned eyebrow at the green-eyed girl's switch* Well, then, uh… You can forget it! The only thing that has an expiration date here is you!
*While he also points sternly towards the Lunch Lady Ghost, until he accidentally reverts back to his human self next.*
Danny: Whoops! *Chuckles nervously* I didn't mean to do that.
Carrie: *Gasps and angrily grabs the collar of his shirt* Did you do that on purpose to mock me, dude!?
Danny: *Nervously chuckles and waves his hands* No, no! I, uh, uhh… Okay, we haven't gotten the hang of this yet, you really wanna argue about it, right now!?
*The Lunch Lady Ghost let out a roar before only grabbing Danny and sending him flying into Tucker. Both boys hit the lockers behind them and a pile of papers covers them up. The meat-covered ghost then grabs Sam and Carrie off the ground and flies off down the hallway, taking the girls with her.*
Tucker: Come on! Change back! We gotta go!
*Suddenly, a pair of hands grab both boys by the back of their shirt collars and it's revealed to be an angry, grieving Mr. Lancer.*
Mr. Lancer: You two aren't going… *Pulls both teens up off the ground* anywhere.
*Standing behind the man, Dash (still covered in mud) is smirking with victory.*
Dash: Told ya you'd pay, Fenton!
*Now, finding themselves in Mr. Lancer's office, Dash, Danny, Tucker, and the vice-principal are gathered where Mr. Lancer is sorting through files in a file cabinet while both boys are seated on chairs in front of his desk as the Baxter jock is leaning against the wall, looking pleased with his achievement.*
Mr. Lancer: *Pulls out a file and began to read it out loud* Tucker Foley, Chronic tardiness, talking in class, repeated loitering by the girl's locker room. *Notices Tucker smiling slyly* Danny Fenton. 34 dropped beakers in the last month, banned for life from handling all fragile school property, but no severe mischief before today. So, gentlemen, tell me… *Slams file on the desk and angrily begins to yell* WHY DID THE TWO OF YOU CONSPIRE TO DESTROY THE SCHOOL'S CAFETERIA?!
Danny: *Defensively* Dash started it! He threw-
*But obviously, some teachers (including principals or vice-principals would always take the football player's side when they're in real trouble.*
Mr. Lancer: Four touchdown passes in the last game are thereby exempt from scorn. You two, however, are not. I'll map out your punishment when I return. *Stands at the office doorway* Mr. Baxter, watch the door.
*Mr. Lancer leaves and Dash smirks once more before closing the door, locking both Danny and Tucker in as they stand up from their seats.
However, keeping his ghost abilities a secret, meant the two could get away from trouble any time -- well, certain times like this, and that was to find their main priorities, meaning: Sam and Carrie.*
Tucker: We gotta find Sam and Carrie. For some reason, I feel like I got them kidnapped.
Danny: Maybe because you told the ghost that they changed the menu? How about that?
Tucker: *His nostrils sniff the air, sensing a delicious sensation* That steak is still in the building. 200 yards, tops.
*Danny glances over at a wall of TVs showing different security camera views of the school. Several cameras show a storage room filled with boxes of meat. The last one shows a trail of meat juice in front of the boxes that are led to somewhere.*
Danny: Check it out. *Points at the screen* Meat trail.
*Without saying another word, the blue-eyed teen goes ghost and grabs Tucker's arm, then turns them both intangible and phases them down through the floor.*
Tucker: Whoa!
*Danny and Tucker enter the meat storage room from the security footage, where the dark-skinned boy looks elated from all the meat.*
Tucker: Sweet mother of mutton! *Hugs the boxes of meat* I'd dreamed of it, but… I never thought I'd live to see it!
Danny: How is it that I have the ghost powers in this situation and you're the weird kid?
*Their eyes widen as they hear cackling nearby. They peer around the corner of a stack of boxes and see the Lunch Lady Ghost, who is floating in front of Sam and Carrie as the pair are trapped neck-deep in a large pile of meat.*
Lunch Lady: My dear children… Meat is good for kids! It helps them grow and makes them smile! *Offers Sam a chicken leg* Why won't you eat it?
Sam: We don't need meat. That's a fact!
Carrie: Yeah, and this is literally every vegetarian's worst nightmare!
*Not long after being in the innocent lunch lady act, the ghost suddenly reverts back to her evil lunch lady act once more, with the wind blowing around her.*
Lunch Lady: SILENCE! *Points at both of them* You need discipline, manners, and respect! Do you know where that comes from? MEAT! *The wind stops suddenly and the woman reverts back again into the innocent act, and politely* Chicken, or fish?
Sam: *Mutters to Carrie* Shouldn't you have gone ghost by now and flown us out of here?
Carrie: *Struggles to break free and sighs* Well, there's a little problem -- I can't!
Sam: Uhh, what do you mean, you 'can't'?
Carrie: Watch… *Focuses on her ghost side* I'm going ghost!
*The circle glows from underneath the meat that surrounds their bodies, but just when the green-eyed teen could fulfill her transformation, the phantom girl within reverts her back to the human side.*
Carrie: *Exhales a heavy breath* See?
Sam: Maybe you're just exhausted. Don't worry, Danny and Tucker will come get us. Then we'll keep the menu we worked extremely hard on the same. And then kill Tucker, because he happens to be an idiot that caused all of this to happen with his meat obsession in the first place!
Tucker: *Gasps dramatically* HEY!
*Before the Lunch Lady Ghost turned, seeing as she hears a voice that belonged to a fellow meat-loving teenager, Danny covers his mouth and pulls him away just in case the scary ghost would catch them, and do something drastic than just drown them in meat sorrows.
As Sam angrily expressed herself, Carrie even flinches a bit when both girls are each other's way of understanding from being either a rebel or a goth. But during their little venting session, Danny and Tucker were still peeking from behind the corner of the stack filled with boxes.*
Danny: I'll take care of the ghost. You just find a way to get Sam and Care out of that pile of meat!
Tucker: *Holds up a fork and knife* Waaay ahead of you.
*Danny then flies off to send a punch to the Lunch Lady Ghost, who turns around -- surprised to find the ghost boy was back, but then again, she notices too late that the woman is sent flying and crashes into a nearby wall before collapsing to the ground just when he lands in front of her and she glares at him.
Though, during the fight, Sam and Carrie patiently awaited for their other best friend to free them both. Sam quits looking in Danny's direction while Carrie continues watching, practically spectating in case the old ghost tries anything dirty, and then looks at Tucker who is cutting away pieces of the meat with his knife.*
Tucker: *Enthusiastically* I'll have you guys free in no time!
Carrie: *Feels her angry emotion spite up a bit* Will you be doing that on a full stomach?!
Sam: *Frowns in disbelief* You've gotta be kidding me.
*Danny crouches on the ground, jumps up, and does a somersault in the air, preparing to land a kick toward the Lunch Lady Ghost, but unfortunately, she somehow manages to catch his foot in her hand right before he hits her, then dangles a surprised Fenton upside-down by his foot.*
Lunch Lady: Don't you see? This is why you need meat! You're skin and *Tosses Danny away* bones!
*As Danny is sent flying through the air he turns intangible, phasing halfway through a nearby wall up to his waist before falling to the ground. But the Lunch Lady Ghost summons shish-kebabs from a box, their pointed ends heading straight for Danny.*
Carrie: Watch out!
*The brunette-haired girl wished she could run to rescue her best friend and use the amount of power she has left throughout her body system, but she could. Though, it appears he seems to be handling it well and suddenly, Danny, who is now out of the wall, sees this and splits his body in two.
The meat passes through the stretched intangible area of his body he created. A smile pressed against his face at the new power but it quickly fades as he sees what the ghost is up to now. The Lunch Lady Ghost yells and summons meat out of all of the boxes while Danny finally pieces himself together again and watches the meat go flying back toward the ghost woman.
Just before Tucker could take a bite of meat, the piece (as well as the meat pile) go flying off towards the ghost. Every piece of meat soared around and attached itself back onto the Lunch Lady, forming the meat monster she was earlier. She fires a meat fist at Danny, capturing him in her grasp.*
Tucker: *Strikes a determined pose, fork and knife in handy* Help's on the way, buddy!
*The Lunch Lady Ghost then sends Danny flying around. He yells and turns intangible, passing through a wall.*
Tucker: *Grabs hold of Carrie's shoulders with both hands and starts to shake her violently* Change back! Change back!
Carrie: *Holds her head before shoving his hands off her shoulders* I can't!
Tucker: What do you mean you can't?! This is a life-or-death situation, dude!
Sam: Uh, guys…?
Carrie: I mean, when I praise the words 'I'm going ghost,' I simply can't become that ghost! What do you expect me to do?!
Sam: Guys!
Carrie and Tucker: *In sync* What?!
*Says nothing but points her finger up toward the meat-covered woman who happens to be looming over the trio and growls at them loudly. All three teens looked scared as the Foley boy decided to push Carrie in front of them, making her glare around the corner of her.*
Tucker: Run?
Sam and Carrie: *In sync* Run.
*And that's exactly what they did, Sam, Carrie, and Tucker all begin to yell as they head for the door, but the ghost sends a pile of meat that blocks their exit, knocking the trio back while currently, Danny holds the back of his head as he phases partly back into the room. He sees his three best friends yelling as they run past him, and he determinedly goes flying after them.
Soon, the Lunch Lady Ghost makes fists with her hands and prepares to slam them down on Sam, Tucker, and Carrie, but Danny quickly flies down and grabs all of them in his arms, and turns the four of themselves intangible before flying through a wall.
The meat-covered monster then makes fists with her hands and prepares to slam down on the three, but Danny quickly flies down and grabs them in his arms before turning all of them intangible and flying through a wall. Though, this surprises the ghost woman, and can't stop herself in time before the meat splatters all over the wall.
Now, Danny, Sam, Carrie, and Tucker are phasing through the wall outside and start to float, turning tangible again when Danny looks tired.*
Danny: *Looks towards Carrie* You know, you could go ghost and help me once in a while?
*Just when the rebel girl could send her half-ghost partner a glare and find the words to say something, she then noticed the worn-out look in his eyes.*
Carrie: Uh, I would, but I'm a little worried about you right now.
Sam: Yeah, gee, Danny. Fighting meat monsters, flying through walls… You must be exhausted.
Danny: *Defensively* What? Of course not! What would give you that idea…?
*Suddenly, he trails off as the four friends all fall to the ground just to have Danny pass out from exhaustion. He returns back to his human self, leaving Sam, Carrie, and Tucker to look at each other.*
*Now, back at Fenton Works, aka, the home of the eldest teenager, Jazz, (and youngest son) she found herself opening the front door, seeing as she wondered what her parents would be up to, they'd usually be in the living room, or in the kitchen, but the dark-haired auburn teen had a feeling due to the fact that her house was quiet -- too quiet indeed.*
Jazz: *Puzzled expression* Mom? Dad?
*The moment she steps into the room and the door suddenly slams closed behind her, and two smoke bombs roll in front of her covering the scene with smoke with only Jack hidden behind the sneak attack, he begins shouting.*
Jack: Now, Maddie! Get her! I'm moving in! *Jazz shrieks* Get my back!
*The smoke clears to show an irritated Jazz with her arms crossed as her parents have latched themselves onto her legs while the Fenton Xtractor is attached to her hair. Maddie and Jack then let go of her legs, allowing Jazz to walk off, the Xtractor still on her hair.*
Jazz: This is all going on in the memoir.
*Maddie and Jack get up off the ground. The front door opens to reveal Sam, Carrie, and Tucker carrying the still-unconscious Danny.*
Tucker: Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Fenton! What a school day! Poor Danny nodded off. We figured we'd just carry him all the way home and tuck him into bed *They start carrying Danny upstairs* without any parental interaction whatsoever.
Carrie: Yeah, how great are we?
Sam: Oh, but don't get up! We know where to go. Bye!
Jack: *Looks up at the ceiling in thought* Hmm…
*Knowing that tone in her husband's voice, Maddie practically figured out what her husband was implying next.*
Maddie: Jack, Danny is not a ghost.
Jack: You're right. *Gazes to Jazz trying to get her hair out of the Xtractor* Jazz is...
*If only they were really wrong about one of their children being ghosts.
But meanwhile, on the second floor, the trio were currently in Danny's bedroom, watching their best friend peacefully sound asleep on top of his bed, wondering when he might wake up.
And right on cue, he suddenly woke up with a frightening yelp.*
Danny: *Confused* Ah! Aah! What-? *Looks up at his friends* What's going on?
Tucker: You passed out. We took you home. You've been asleep for four days!
Danny: *Quickly sits up, absolutely, alarmed* Four days?!
*While Tucker laughs at his answer, finding it absolutely to earn a hard punch to the arm by Carrie herself. Even though pain is felt, it's still comedic in the techno-geek's mind.*
Carrie: Way to be dramatic, Tuck.
Tucker: I'm kidding! I'm kidding! It's only been a couple of hours.
*Danny lays back down, still a little shaken as Carrie sat by the end of his bed and placed a comforting hand on his ankle while Sam put her hands on her hips at Tucker's immaturity.*
Sam: Knock it off, Tucker. This is the second time today your carelessness almost got him and Carrie killed.
Tucker: Me? I almost got them killed? The only reason this happened is because you guys had to be unique. *Points to both girls* You both had to take the meat away!
*Both girls crossed their arms, but this made the rebel teen angry, and went over to grab Tucker by the back collar while Sam turned away from him.*
Carrie: Oh, you're seriously not blaming us for putting a good intention that could bring health into society more, Foley! Especially me when I helped save your lives!
Tucker: Yeah? And look how that turned out for you, Care. Whatever, I'm going to do anything to get it back! *Stomps out of the bedroom*
Sam: *Yelling angrily* You want to change that menu back?! *Goes over to the door of the bedroom* YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME TO DO IT!
*Once she expressed herself very loudly, the gothic figure quickly follows and slams the door shut, leaving both her best half-ghost friends alone.*
Carrie: *Groans* So, infuriating! *Side eyes Danny who sat up on his bed and turns to face him* Anything you want to add?
*Knowing how quick it is to irritate someone like Carrie Mayth, the blue-eyed boy stayed silent while shaking his head with a nervous smile.*
Danny: *Frowns* Oh, well. I'm sure everything will be back to normal by tomorrow.
Carrie: *Relieves herself from her mood swing and sighs, nodding in agreement* Yeah. Well, I'm gonna head out as well. Make sure those two don't kill each other on the way home. I would fly them, *Holds her arm* but I'm a little exhausted, too.
Danny: Good point, get some rest.
Carrie: *Smiles softly* You, too
*After saying this, the brunette opens the door and leaves his bedroom, then quickly rushed down the stairs, and is out of the Fenton home within a split second, hoping that no fights broke out between her two best friends.*
Danny: *Stares at the ceiling* Yup, everything will be back to normal tomorrow...
*And by tomorrow morning at Casper High, everything was not indeed normal in the Fenton boy's bright blue eyes as his face filled with disbelief looked towards something some of the other students were looking at. Including Carrie, where the girl found herself also in disbelief while standing beside Danny.*
Carrie: Well, I guess you were wrong.
Danny: Yeah… Maybe, it'll get worse.
*On one side, there stood a bunch of meat lovers decked out in meat merchandise, even some who happened to be goth, rebel emo, or punk rock. Soon, shown on a stage, some girls are dancing, dressed in hot dog outfits. The girls dance offstage and Tucker appears carrying a microphone in his hand.*
Carrie: *Cringes slightly at the sight of the hot dog girls* Oh, my…
Tucker: *Shouting into the mic* WHAT DO WE WANT?
Meat Lovers: MEATT!
Tucker: WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
Meat Lovers: NOWW!
Danny: *Taps Carrie's shoulder* Uh, Care…?
*However, the other protest with the vegetarian equivalent of the meat protest is filled with a bunch of hippies, laid-back people, goths, and some punk rocks as well. Next, Sam is standing on top of a school bus yelling into a microphone while carrying a sign that reads, "NOW!"*
Sam and Veggie Lovers: VEGGIES NOW! VEGGIES FOREVER! VEGGIES NOW! VEGGIES FOREVER!
*Just then, the two opposite hosts of the protests meet up with the duo who weren't a part of the events, and as much as Carrie wanted to be with the vegetarians, she wouldn't rather stand against Tucker, so either she stands beside them or against them both.*
Danny: *Still with disbelief* You guys put together two protests in one night?
Carrie: Yeah, how did you guys pull this off so fast?
Tucker: Meat-eaters, Danny. Always ready to fight. And our high-protein diets give us the energy we need to do it quickly. *Glares at Carrie*
Sam: *Places her hands on the Mayth girl's shoulders* Ultra recycle-vegetarians are always ready to protest. And because we don't have to waste time cooking our food, we can move even faster. *Glares at Danny*
Danny: Don't you guys think this is a little extreme?
Carrie: Yeah, I mean, you guys can't possibly expect us to choose one side? We're all friends here -- vegetarians or not, meat lovers or not.
Tucker: *Continues to glare at Carrie* Okay, Care, since it's obvious that you've chosen Sam's side, *Now, looks to Danny* it's your choice, buddy. You're either with me…!
Sam: *Also glares at Danny* Or you're against me!
Sam and Tucker: So, whose side are you on?!
*Standing above them, Danny and Carrie side-eye one another with a bit of fear at the peer pressure given towards them, even if one of the duo happens to be a vegan; she hates fighting with her friends for it. Luckily, the little argument came to an end as the wind suddenly started blowing and the sky turned gray.
Sam and Tucker's eyes widen. Cackling is heard and both Danny and Carrie's ghost senses go off. The crowd looks bewildered and confused, just when a voice yells angrily as the contents of a meat truck fly out in various directions. The meat swirls around and eventually forms a gigantic version of the meat monster known to be the Lunch Lady Ghost from the previous day.*
Lunch Lady: IT'S LUNCHTIME!
*Both groups of protesters run away while screaming in terror.*
Carrie: *Looks around for a place to hide, but due to the crowd, there's nowhere* Uh, Danny, got a place where we can go ghost?
Danny: *Nods when an idea pops into his brain* Guys, time to make up. Now!
*Agreeing, Sam and Tucker both hug Danny and Carrie into a little group hug as this gave them a chance to transform. And that's what they did. Then, the moment both teens transformed into the phantoms from beneath their two best friends, they flew off into battle.
Somewhere around the courtyard of the school, there was Jazz standing in front of a goth boy who is wearing all black, has a mohawk, and is covered in piercings and tattoos, talking with him while sitting on a picnic table away from all the chaos.*
Jazz: Spike, you have to open up to your parents! Be true to yourself and them. Tell them how you feel! I mean, it's not like they're gonna attack you or anything.
*Unfortunately, just when Jazz would succeed on getting Spike to open up about parents, a green net suddenly captures her as she yells in surprise before being dragged away by her very own. Jack is (obviously) the one reeling his daughter towards him and his wife as the married couple hid in the bushes.*
Jack: I've got her!
*After announcing this, Maddie pokes out from the bushes with her husband looking at her with a proud smile plastered across his face.*
Jack: And the Fenton Grappler is working like a charm!
Maddie: I don't understand. If Jazz is a ghost, why isn't she phased through the net?
Jazz: *Now standing up from under the net* Because I am not a GHOST! *Throws the net off* You've ambushed me, suffocated me with smoke, and worse, I have been pulled away from Spike before he had his breakthrough! What do you have to say for yourselves?!
*Out of nowhere, her father pulls out the Fenton Thermos in front of him and aims it at the auburn-haired girl.*
Jack: Eat hot Fenton Thermos, ghost gal!
*Ready to attack, the thermos simply sparks and does nothing. Jazz looks down at the thermos, then glares up at her parents, making Jack scrutinize the thermos.*
Jack: Hmm. *Shakes the thermos back and forth* Darn thing still doesn't work!
*Feeling alarmed at the sight, Danny and Carrie stood in front of the meat-covered Lunch Lady Ghost. The ghost yells ferociously before attempting to punch until Danny grabs hold of Carrie's hand and flies them out of the way. The ghost then tries slapping them with the other hand, but with Danny's help, they dodge again.
Carrie now tries an uppercut which they also dodge, all until both phantom teens then strike a kick at the ghost hard, knocking her over. While looking up from a distance, Sam and Tucker smile as they watch their friends advancing the dodge techniques.*
Tucker: They really are getting better and better.
*Danny looks down and smiles as well as Carrie then frowns as the green-eyed boy turns back to the Lunch Lady Ghost just for both of them to get a sudden punch, and go sailing off. Sam runs forward as she watches, noticing that they're heading straight into the sky.*
Sam: I sure hope they can take a punch.
*But it wasn't just some airplane -- it was a jet airplane flying overhead where Danny and Carrie are sent flying upward toward it. Inside the plane, a businessman and a flight attendant are on board.*
Flight assistant: There's your water, sir! *Moves to the other side where a businesswoman is patiently seated waiting for her drink as well.* Your water, ma'am!
*However, out of nowhere, every one of their eyes widens as both ghost teens phase through and up from each side of the plane. Then, they decided they were in need of a little refreshment and went back down, stealing the two business figures' drinks out of their hands.*
Danny: *While phasing through* Thanks!
Carrie: *Also phasing through* Appreciate it!
*Now, the duo fly back down towards the ghost, each splashing water against their faces before tossing the cups aside. Though in other situations, Jack and Maddie are both looking at Jazz, who has her arms crossed, irritated, still waiting on what her parents have to say until…*
Jack: *Smiles a bit before looking at the thermos in his hand* I, Jack Fenton, from this day forth…
*As the Fenton man said this, Danny and Carrie are flying toward the school.*
Jack: …do hereby turn my back on ghosts…
*Until, the two teens slam into the ghost sending meat flying everywhere. As the meat explosion lets off orange smoke in the distance behind Jazz, Jack, and Maddie. Danny weakly pulls himself out of a crater the explosion created and holds onto a weak Carrie's hands, helping her out next. Just when they could be out of it, the Lunch Lady Ghost placed on the innocent act once more.*
Lunch Lady: Oh, dear! What a mess! Are you two okay?
Carrie: *Rolls her blue eyes* Don't fall for it, Danny.
Danny: *Ignoring Carrie* Yeah. I think so.
*Danny finally pulls himself out of the crater and rubs his left arm a bit with Carrie standing beside him, holding onto hers as well. And not for long -- that same small, soft, kind smile on her face suddenly reverts back to evil lunch lady mode.*
Lunch Lady: *Angrily yells*TOUGH! BECAUSE YOU TWO BEING OKAY IS NOT PART OF MY BALANCED DIET OF DOOM!
Carrie: *Groans* Why bother putting on the nice act if you're gonna turn back into the evil one?!
Lunch Lady: *Sends her a dirty glare* BECAUSE CHILDREN WHO CHANGE THE MENU DON'T DESERVE MY SYMPATHY!
*Then, without saying another word, meat suddenly pours out of the crater forming five small piles in front of Danny and Carrie, which turn into little meat monsters. Back-to-back against one another, they look over each other's shoulders and nod before flying off with the meat monsters jumping after them.
Until, Danny grabs hold of Carrie's waist and twirls her as she does a flying kick that slices through all of the monsters before landing her feet back on the ground. They look up only to see the meat monsters form themselves again.*
Carrie: Oh, come on! That was our best move yet!
Danny: Wasn't expecting that… *Unexpectedly returning to his human side* ...Or that.
Carrie: *Glares at him* Really?
*Seeing as one of the ghost teens were in their human forms, two of the meat monsters grab Danny. He tries fighting them off but they keep their hold and fly up with him. Two of the monsters let go of him while three dangle him upside down by his legs.*
Carrie: Danny!
*Just when Carrie would fly and rescue him, the other two little meat demons grabbed hold of the phantom girl's leg.*
Carrie: *Smirks* Oh, you critters chose the wrong time to mess with me.
*Immediately after saying this, Carrie twists and turns to punch the meat child that was holding onto her leg in the face, causing it to be sent back. While apparently, its sibling grabbed hold of her forearms, attempting to fly her up into the sky like the two other ones are doing with Danny.
She struggles a bit until the ghost teen decided to not go the easy way during this fight, and so she raises her arm, grabs hold of the meat creature aggressively shakes it off her, then held it out right in front of the teen's bestowed blue orbs at the sight, gave a fake-loving wave before ending this little side battle fight off with the little meat monster's sent back by a high kick as if she were playing soccer or practicing on a punching bag.*
Carrie: *Chuckles softly* A good release of stress always cheers me up.
*Meanwhile, not even paying attention to what was going on around the courtyard of the school, a shout was heard from a certain Fenton figure as in the point of view that's seen within Danny's blue orbs, he is dangling upside down by the other meat monsters.
Not noticing that their youngest child was in danger, Jack and Maddie had been confronted by their eldest one as Jazz's actions escalated into the ghost obsession throughout her father's career which could've put his family in danger.*
Jack: *Looks down at the Fenton Thermos* …And this Thermos can't trap ghosts because ghosts don't exist.
*The moment he said this, Jack tosses the Thermos as it coincidentally whacks Danny in the face and he catches it. And currently, from the phantom boy's point of view, he looked around to find Carrie on the ground still fighting her own meat monsters unlike him as he was still in human form.*
Danny: Oh, come on! *Then stares down at the metal object he held in his hands and instantly gets an idea* The Fenton Thermos! But how am I going to get it to work?
*As he says this, the two meat monsters suddenly let go of the black-haired boy, causing him to yell very loudly for Carrie herself to eventually notice and fly up, hoping she could rescue him in time before he could plummet into the ground.*
Carrie: Hang on, dude!
Danny: Change back! Change back!
*After exclaiming this, he finally transforms into that half ghost just when Carrie catches him. But due to her being a bit tired from the small fight she dealt with towards the other meat creatures, he quickly pulls her down as well, causing her to let out a shout.
The meat monsters looked surprised at both teens' actions, (especially when one of them is still in ghost form) where they all became furious and chased after them.*
Danny: Hold on!
*Once Danny announces this, Carrie felt herself becoming intangible with his help, and the second he did this, they both phase through the ground between Jazz and his parents.*
Danny: *While phasing through* Thanks for the thermos!
Jack: *Happily* HA! Ghost kids! *In a sing-song voice* I was right!~ You were wrong!~ Ghosts exist!~ *Laughs* Oh, I never doubted for a second!
*He looked to see that Jazz wasn't pleased with her father's actions as he continued laughing proudly until suddenly, a large amount of meat landed on top of them. Now, both Danny and Carrie were phasing out from underground, they met up with the Lunch Lady Ghost, thermos still held in the green-eyed boy's hands.*
Lunch Lady: *Angrily* NO! Soup's not on today's menu!
Carrie: *Places a finger upon her chin* I wonder what kind of mental illness she's suffering from.
Danny: Well, don't worry, she'll be getting help with this. Because I'm changing the menu, permanently! *Grabs the top of the thermos and in a small voice* Please, work.
*He pulls the top off, moves to stand in front of Carrie, and aims the metal item toward the evil ghost woman.*
Carrie: *Places her hands on his shoulders* Oh, I hope this works!
Danny: And if it does. I hope we're right!
*A blue aura surrounds both ghost teens and then the thermos, which powers up before releasing a stream of energy. The energy forms a net that surrounds the surprised the Lunch Lady Ghost, trapping her completely.*
Lunch Lady: *Struggling* NOOOO!
*The energy swirls and sucks the Lunch Lady Ghost into the thermos and Danny (who has turned human again) puts the lid back on the thermos. He sends a soft smile to Carrie as she returns to her human form next before the duo makes their way over towards Sam and Tucker, who were trapped under one of the protest balloons, and help their friends out.*
Sam: *Hugs Carrie* Glad you're okay.
Carrie: *Hugs back* You, too.
Danny: *Raises an eyebrow* Hey, what about me?
*Ending their little moment, something occurs to the Manson girl's mind as she looks around to see no more creepy, old lunch lady ghosts (of meat children) being infuriated at the slight changes of an old-school menu.*
Sam: What happened? Where's the ghost?
Danny: *Looks towards Carrie and smiles at her* My parents have their moments.
*Soon, he hears a faint beeping noise and he hides the thermos behind him. And that sound belongs to the Fenton Finder which was accompanied in Jack's hands where he and his wife were both covered in meat while walking up towards the quartet.*
Fenton Finder: Ghosts directly ahead.
*Although, seeing as the small machine was adjusting itself to the two teens right before their eyes. Carrie smiles and waves her hand awkwardly at the Fenton couple in a polite manner.*
Fenton Finder: You would have to be some sort of moron to not notice the ghost directly ahead.
*Carrie couldn't help but giggle at the insult spoken by the ghost gadget as the couple looked up at their son, leaving Sam to pull the rebel girl away in case Jack and Maddie suspect their son and his best friend are half ghosts.*
Danny: *Smiles weakly at his parents* Oh, sorry, Dad. *Then points behind him with his thumb* You just missed them.
Jack: We got some runners!
*Both adults run off in a hopeful attempt to catch the newly ghost children, though that wasn't possible in not just the four younger teenagers' cases, but Jazz as well. And speaking of the teenagers - the oldest one, Jazz herself -- has revealed with her arms crossed.*
Jazz: *Irritated glare* Great. Back to square one.
*She walks off, leaving her brother and his friends to talk about the whole identity situation both Danny and Carrie were struggling with about enlightening their families with it.*
Tucker: *Gazes towards Danny* So, you're not gonna tell them?
Sam: *Looks at Carrie* And you're not gonna tell your mom?
Carrie: *Sighs* Honestly, with my mom being a lawyer, she's already got so much stress to worry about on her plate, so it's best that she doesn't know her daughter is a super-freak.
*At the mention of her beloved relative, reminded Tucker's mind that he's in desperate need of Joyce's lawyer expertise from the chaos that caused all this in the first place.*
Tucker: Which reminds me, what's Joyce's number? I'm gonna need a top-notch lawyer if the lawsuit goes forward!
*After saying this, Carrie practically growls while her green eyes flashed their bright ghost blue.*
Sam: *Chuckles and looks back at Danny* What about you, Danny?
Danny: Nah. I think we might've finally figured out what these powers are for. They make us--
*A hand out of nowhere grabs Danny by the shoulder. His eyes widen and he glances upward at a furious Mr. Lancer.*
Mr. Lancer: --In a world of trouble.
Carrie: *Groans* Oh, come on!
*Later that day, the four teenagers were outside Casper High, cleaning up the meat splatter upon the ground, and not just meat, but the protest messes and dirt from the ghost fight. During their punishment, Mr. Lancer appears with a megaphone in his hand with Dash Baxter chaperoning them, seeing that this was very entertaining in the dirty blonde's own eyes, he just couldn't miss this.*
Mr. Lancer: Manson! Pick up that T-bone!
Sam: *Disgusted* With my hands?
Mr. Lancer: *Ignores her and glared at Tucker* Foley! Pick up that turf-which!
Tucker: *Equally disgusted while holding a Turf-which by its corner* With my hands?
Mr. Lancer: I'm also watching you, Mayth! Don't forget the lamb's leg!
*And so, the rebel girl does what she's told, and looks at the rusted-up leg of a lamb and squeals before feeling distributed at this sight.*
Carrie: *Also disgusted* Ohh, this is so going in my personal journal!
*The vice-principal seems well pleased at his students' punishment and takes a satisfying bite out of a turkey leg before turning around and walking away.
However, during the time his back is turned, Danny still sweeps up some meat with Dash watching him owning a smirk plastered upon his face, also looking pleased while leaning on the dumpster where the meat is being collected. He began to laugh.
Danny then looks over at Dash and decides to at least mess around a bit since this will be the same time as the punishment, he goes to the side of the dumpster. So, he grabs it and turns it intangible, causing the contents to phase out and fall on Dash, who gets trapped under a huge pile of meat.*
Carrie: *Laughs and mutters* Nice one, Danny!
Dash: *Pokes head out from the meat pile* FENTON! A little help?
Danny: *Owning a pleased expression* Whatever you say, Dash. *Looks at Carrie* Whatever you say.
*Smirks were across each half-ghosts' as Danny's blue eyes glowed their brightest green while Carrie's own-colored orbs glowed their brightest blue, both owning the opposite eye colors of one another.*
