[ "IT CAME BACK FROM LOCKER 724!"]
*At Casper High School, an event being held by everyone's favorite activist, Samantha Manson is currently high on the radar where she, Danny, Carrie, and Tucker are walking down the hallway, each carrying a box that says, 'Save the Frogs' while on the front, an image of a frog is crossed out by a no symbol.*
Danny: So, why exactly are we breaking our backs here, Sam?
Sam: Frogs' rights. We have to stop dissecting frogs in our school biology labs. And at today's assembly, *They stop walking* I'm gonna demonstrate a humane alternative. *Tilts her box forward, then glances at Carrie* If only you could help me out on this one, Care.
Carrie: Look, I would… but you'd earn so much if this was done all by yourself, you know? As an independent woman without another independent woman's help.
Tucker: Not even if that 'independent woman' has ghost powers and could easily possess those into following Sam?
Danny: Even if you beg her, Care has told you many times that she's not gonna possess Star into going out with you.
Carrie: *Nods with her head held high and glares at Tucker* And I never will.
Tucker: Okay, fine… *Reads the top of Sam's box* 'I Can't Believe It's Not a Frog Cadaver'?
*She puts down her box and takes out an oozing mechanical frog that's been built by no one, but Caroline Mayth herself.*
Mechanical Frog: *Croaks. Robotic voice* Please remove my detachable three-chambered heart. *Croaks*
Tucker: *Cringes slightly* Okay, that's creepy…
*Suddenly, Danny and Carrie's ghost senses are set off as Sam's box on the ground begins to glow green and shake, where it erupts into a cloud of green smoke. Out of surprise, Sam tosses away the frog, which lands on Tucker's head, causing him to struggle when trying to remove it.
Finally, the green smoke then materializes into the one ghost both half-figures didn't think they could run into again, the Box Ghost.*
Danny: Oh, great. Him again.
Carrie: Yeah, out of all the ghosts -- it has to be him?
Box Ghost: *Waving hands around* I am the Box Ghost, *Glowing green* and I will have my corrugated cardboard vengeance!
*Once the Box Ghost is done talking gibberish, both teens go ghost while he levitates the quartet's boxes in the air. Meanwhile, Sam pulls the frog off of Tucker's face, leaving him covered in green slime.*
Tucker: Oh, gross! *Gazes at Carrie* Why would you fill some icky slime in a creepy mechanical frog, dude?!
Carrie: Just be careful with him, will you?! It took me hours to build that thing, and for your information, the slime thing was Sam's idea!
Tucker and Sam: *Side eyes each other at the spoken gender given to a robotic frog* Him?
Danny: You guys get to the assembly. We'll get this moron sealed up tight, won't we, Care?
Carrie: *Smacks fist against hand* At least let me release some stress on this guy, hm?
*Without saying another word, Sam and Tucker leave the sight where this made the Box Ghost cause one of the boxes to open and numerous scalpels rise up out of it. They fly at the duo, but luckily, Danny grabs hold of Carrie's shoulders and turns them both intangible as the metal tools stick into the wall of lockers behind them.*
Danny: *Feels his chest* Huh. Maybe Sam has a point.
Carrie: *Also feels her chest and nodded* Let's hope everyone gets them.
*Next, the Box Ghost slams into Danny and Carrie, sending them both through the lockers and through several more rooms before they finally tumble into the backstage area of the school's auditorium with a loud grunt as they land on the floor before changing back to their human forms.*
Danny: Oops… *Glances at Carrie beside him* You okay?
Carrie: *Rubs her head* Yeah, Box Moron is gonna pay for that!
*And speak of the devil, the Box Ghost phases through the wall, meeting both teens in their physical human bodies.*
Box Ghost: Tremble before the might of the *His hands start to glow green* Box Ghost, *Causes a box onstage to glow and levitate* as you are devoured by… *Reading label on box* Uh, oh yeah. Costumes and props from the Broadway classic, My Fair Man and Maiden!
*Soon, the box opens and a bundle of clothes rises up out of it. The bundle hurls itself at Danny and Carrie, knocking the duo backward, and allowing them to end up being buried under a large pile of clothes.*
Box Ghost: *Laughs evilly* Beware!
*Just as he leaves by phasing through the ceiling, the assembly is about to start whereas Sam walks up on stage, which holds a podium in front of a closed curtain.*
Sam: *Into the microphone* Fellow students, something sick and disgusting is taking place right here in our school, and I'm about to show you what it is.
*The curtain opens up behind her to reveal a large 'Save the Frogs!' sign, because when the whole frog issue was being stated, all the students in the audience didn't have a care in the world, until suddenly, something did catch their attention, but it wasn't that.
As they immediately point and laugh, Sam turns around and sees Danny, who stands up from the pile of clothes wearing a pink-and-white dress, a matching hat with a wig of curls, and makeup while Carrie is still found in her regular daily outfit, nothing humiliating, except seeing her partner in this state.
The blue-haired girl instantly covers her mouth, (due to wanting to contain her laughter) but watches as Danny glowers when he realizes the situation where in the audience, Tucker decided it would be necessary for his mouth to shout something out.*
Tucker: *Cheers* Whoo! Take it off! *Sam and Carrie glare at him* No, seriously. He should take it off. That's weird, *Cringes a bit* and freaky…
Carrie: *Scoffs and shouts out from onstage* Oh, come on, seeing a boy wearing something girly shouldn't be a shocker to you people, grow up!
*After the whole 'girly-outfit' shenanigan at the assembly that's been played by the Box Ghost, Sam, Tucker, Danny, and Carrie found themselves walking down, where every corner (or other halls) students are still laughing at the Fenton boy.*
Sam: Thanks to your little dress-up parade, my 'Save the Frogs!' presentation was a total bust, Danny.
Carrie: Don't blame him, blame *Mimics the Box Ghost* the Box Ghost~!
Tucker: Well, speaking of bust, did you see Danny in that bra? Puce is not your color, pal.
*Thinking this joke might've been a good time, Carrie smacks the back of the techno-geek's head in defense of protecting her partner. Now, the quartet walked up to a locker covered in yellow caution tape since they had been looking for Danny's new locker while he carried a piece of paper.*
Danny: Yeah, and now because that idiot Box Ghost trashed my locker, I've been assigned a new one. *Reads paper* Locker… Seven-two-four.
*After hearing those numbers, Sam and Tucker gasp and look dramatically fearful, making Danny and Carrie side-eye one another in confusion at their friends' reactions whereas Tucker then points behind the raven-haired figure at a rusty, worn-down locker 724; all four teens slowly walk towards it.*
Danny: Guys, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost. *Chuckles* Or something really scary that we don't see every single day.
Carrie: Yeah, it's kind of scary…
Tucker: Hello?! Locker 724? How do you guys not know the legend of locker 724?
*Danny opens the locker, allowing it to reveal a gold-framed mirror hanging in the back, which he touches, causing the mirror to sparkle as he speaks.*
Danny: What's the big deal with 724?
Carrie: *Grips her backpack straps* Should we be concerned about a new ghost?
*Suddenly, Dash Baxter slaps down the hat-wig from the My Fair Lady costume onto Danny's head, due to hearing that the Fenton figure had been publicly wearing a girly outfit, which results in the blonde-haired jock earning new strategies when wanting to humiliate his fellow nerd even more.*
Dash: You left something behind, Fenton.
*The captain of the football team laughs alongside his two other jock friends while not just Danny being the only half-ghost to glare at them, but Carrie as well..*
Dash: Let's see if it fits in your new locker, with you inside!
*He grabs Danny and shoves him in his new locker, then slams the door shut. But just when the blonde jock and his friends could walk away laughing at their newly bullying streak, Carrie steps in front of Dash.*
Carrie: I genuinely mean this in any way for your idiotic brain to process, but how do you sleep at night, Baxter?
Dash: *Glares at her* Things like this help, dorkette.
*She hopelessly glares at the jocks as they walk away laughing in spite of their little nerd victim being humiliated.*
Tucker: I was gonna tell you the locker was cursed, *Opens the locker* but I think you figured that out.
Danny: *Falls out of the locker and stands up* I'll show you cursed… Cover me.
*He grabs all three of his friends and hides behind them. He goes ghost, then flies invisibly down the hallway, and overshadows Dash. With Danny possessing the Baxter, he slams his head into a locker twice before dunking it into a janitor's mop bucket, where he finally leaves his body.
The half-ghost boy flies away from the crowd surrounding Dash and pops back into human form, owning high-fives from Tucker and Carrie while Sam glares at him.*
Sam: *Astonished* Danny… *Looks at Carrie* You should've stopped him.
Carrie: Why should I? I'm his partner, not his mom. And besides, Mr. Low-life got what he deserved, that's why they call it 'karma,' Manson.
Tucker: Yeah, relax, Sam. *To Danny* It's about time you used that Phantom advantage for some ghostly get-back. *Looks at Carrie and placed an arm around her shoulder* Now let's see what you've got planned for Dash next, Care!
Carrie: Key word, Tuck: overshadow...
*Sam sighs in disgust and walks away, with all three of her best friends following behind her, just as suddenly, a ghostly voice speaks from within locker 724.*
(?): Bullies~. *Green light glows from within the locker* Bullies~!
*The next day, it's been rumored that Danny's parents, Jack and Maddie Fenton are planning to stake out Casper High School due to the -- possible - reports of a ghost haunting their son's new assigned locker. And their daughter, Jazz Fenton couldn't be even more embarrassed for her little brother, (even if it does include her as well) because she wants what's best for him. But currently, at his locker, Danny glances over to Dale and another jock picking on a marching band student with his musical instrument known as the tuba.*
Dale: Hey, Tubby the Tuba. *Grabs the student's shako* Nice shako. *Twists shako in student's ear* Does it remove earwax, too?
*Feeling intense and angry about another nerd, (though, one who's extreme) Danny slams his locker door and storms off just when the locker begins to glow green again as that same ghostly voice speaks from within once more.*
(?): Bullies~.
*Once Dale tosses the shako towards his friend like it's football season, this gives the ghostly voice an idea.*
Jock #1: Go long!
*He throws the shako down the hallway as Dale runs down it, but Danny's locker door suddenly flies open and smacks Dale in the face. The jock falls on the ground, dazed whereas the shako lands on his head.
And now, strolling his way down the hall, a boy with glasses is pushing a projector on a cart, just to have Paulina Sanchez stop the cart with her foot and lean on it.*
Paulina: *Flirtatiously* I'm so fascinated by AV equipment. Can you show me how it works?
*As she plays her part of the other mean, popular kid, Kwan slowly sneaks up behind the boy and quickly ties his shoelaces together.*
(?): Bullies~!
*However, the stream of green ghostly energy comes out of Danny's locker, slides up across the ceiling to the opposite wall, and causes a trophy to fall off a trophy shelf onto Kwan's head. He stumbles around and knocks into a fire extinguisher case.
The case then opens up and the extinguisher tumbles out, spewing foam at Paulina, who screams as it knocks her backward. The green energy finally unties the boy's shoelaces back to normal, which causes so much confusion in the AV nerd as he looks around and shrugs, then processes his walk with the projector.*
*Now, lunchtime has arrived and both Danny and Carrie were outstanded by the chaos that's happened in the hallway which held his locker where the popular kids got the karma they oh-so absolutely deserved. Their different colored eyes are currently spectating what kind of awful, - yet, majestic -- problem each popular figure encounters.*
Dale: ...And all of a sudden, this locker door flies open and nails me.
Paulina: *Brushing foam out of her hair* I'm gonna be brushing this stuff out of my hair for a week!
Kwan: It's like, this school is haunted.
*At the quartet's table, Carrie couldn't contain her snickers due to Paulina's humbled karma, after the whole school dance event, and using Danny as her pawn when she thought the two half-ghosts were a thing; it's a blessing.*
Sam: *Glares at Danny* Apparently, somebody's been busy.
Danny: It wasn't me, I swear!
Tucker: *Glances at Carrie surprised* No way! You overshadowed someone, show us!
Carrie: No! And even if I wanted to do it, which again, I never will! Looks like Danny here is doing just fine on his own with them.
*While saying this, they watch as the Fenton figure suddenly turns invisible and goes to overshadow Dash Baxter once more, where he is just sitting down between Kwan and Dale, until Danny causes the blonde-haired jock to dump his tray of food on Paulina, then leaves, earning a burst of laughter from Carrie.
Just as Dash shakes his head clear and scratches it in confusion, Danny goes back to his table, then turns visible again, and gets a high five from his ghost partner.*
Danny: Now, that was me.
Sam: *Glares at Carrie* You can't possibly see how wrong this is? *Looks back at him* Danny, I don't think you should be using your powers like--
*Just when a lecture is about to be given by the goth girl, she spots Mr. Lancer standing in the cafeteria doorway.*
Sam: Lancer. I'll be right back! *Runs off*
Tucker: Don't listen to her, dude. It's about time somebody struck a blow for Sidney Poindexter.
Danny: Sidney who-dexter?
Tucker: Sidney Poindexter. *Takes out PDA and taps on it* Locker 724 was originally owned by a Poindexter back in the fifties.
~~
*On Tucker's PDA screen, it says that Sidney Poindexter attended Casper High School from 1954-1958. Back in the day, where everything was black-and-white flashback, students dressed in 50's-styled clothing were walking in the hallway.
Sidney Poindexter was currently adjusting his bow tie in the mirror at his locker, which happens to be 724. And once he's finished with that, Sidney closes the door and begins to walk down the hallway, owning a happy grin upon his face.
"Poindexter was a victim of more cruel pranks than anyone in the history of Casper High School."
While explaining this, a bully sneakily sticks a 'Kick Me' sign on Poindexter's back whereas another group of boys were directing others to pick on the poor nerd.
"Apparently, picking on him was a graduation requirement…"
Soon, reading the sign on Poindexter's back, a boy kicks him from behind while he's smelling flowers, then laughs. But that wasn't all as unfortunately, with the help of his jock friends, Sidney was aggressively shoved into his locker.*
~~
Tucker: *Now to the present:* He got stuffed into his locker so many times, it's believed that his spirit still inhabits it till to this very day.
Carrie: *Becomes devastated* Oh, that poor defenseless nerd…
*Finally, Sam comes back to their table, carrying a box filled with frogs.*
Danny: Uh, Sam, what are you doing?
Sam: *Suspiciously* Nothing. *Sets box down on the table bench* Certainly not trying to smuggle frogs out of the bio lab while Lancer isn't looking.
Carrie: You're doing good for their environment!
*Suddenly, Danny is pelted in the face with several hamburger patties, and they're thrown by the biggest bully of all, and he's none other than Dashiel Baxter as the boy with violet-colored eyes is surrounded by several other jocks.*
Dash: Hey, guys. What do you say we 'meat' my new locker neighbor?
*Danny wipes off the patties and glares at Dash, his eyes glowing green. Sam holds him back.*
Sam: Easy, Danny. Take it easy.
Tucker: Yeah, usually it's Carrie flashing those scary ghost eyes, but with you, it looks a little worse…
Danny: *Sighs* You're right, guys, I--
*But when he admits to committing a wrong in order to make a right, the raven-haired teen is pelted by more patties, with the extension of cheese, veggies, and finally a giant loaf of bread that lands on his head.*
Dash: *Walking away* Enjoy your sandwich, neighbor.
Carrie: *Cringes slightly* Oh, this isn't good.
Danny: *Nods in agreement and takes the bread off his head* Yeah, because that's it!
Tucker: Hmm. I wonder how Dash would feel if he had a frog in his throat.
Danny: *Looks at the box* Or twelve... In his pants.
*Knowing what his devious plan is, Sam snatches the box and holds it to her chest.*
Sam: Oh, no. You're not gonna exploit innocent amphibians for some juvenile revenge scheme.
*Glaring back at her half-ghost friend, the three soon notice Danny's eyes, they become indifferent as those same blue orbs glow their brightest green with a mischief as the frogs jump in their reflection.*
*Ah, the sweet smell of revenge has been calling for the phantom teen long enough for him to use his powers as a lesson in defense when it comes to bullying. Now, in the empty hallway, Dash is at his locker, whereas Danny (in his Phantom form) is flying while holding the box of frogs in his hands.
He then turns invisible, yanks open the back of the Baxter boy's pants, which earns a 'hey' to be heard from his mouth until Danny yanks the underwear next and places it over his head before finally dumping the frogs into his pants, which causes Dash to cry out in pain as he hops down the hallway.*
Dash: Wh-ow! Ow! O-ooh! *Repeatedly* Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
*Danny chuckles to himself at the accomplishment he has achieved and until suddenly, locker 724 begins to glow green as the ghost of Sidney Poindexter speaks in a gloomy tone.*
Sidney Poindexter: Bullies~!
*Just then, out of nowhere, Sidney Poindexter himself phases halfway out of the locker door.*
Poindexter: Hey! I'm free! Finally, the doorway's been opened!
*Unfortunately, before he could celebrate, he noticed Danny was still laughing towards Dash Baxter's humiliation.*
Poindexter: You think that's funny, buster?
Danny: *Becomes confused and noticed Poindexter floating beside him* Huh? What? You can see me?
Poindexter: Yeah, that's right, bub. Now leave that poor kid alone.
Danny: *Turns fully visible and chuckles* What? Oh… *Laughs* Oh, man. That's good… Man, do you ever have it backwards.
Poindexter: Don't hand me that jazz, Clyde. You're the bully from where I'm standing.
Danny: *Points at his feet* Uh, floating…?
Poindexter: *Realizes his point* Uh, okay. Floating... But let's see how *Raises arms and hands begin to glow green* you like getting bullied.
*And with the use of his powers, Poindexter causes the lockers in the hallway to glow green. His eyes turn solid red, and school supplies fly out of the lockers whereas meanwhile in the cafeteria, lunch trays suddenly smack into students' faces and food flies all over the room.
Yet while all that chaos is happening, back in the science lab, Mr. Lancer is currently searching around for the frogs a strong, confident, independent, gothic activist known as Samantha Manson stole.*
Mr. Lancer: I know those frogs were here somewhere.
*Until then, the search quickly came to an end as the beakers and other science equipment around the room out of nowhere, break and shatter.*
Mr. Lancer: Great Gatsby!
*Meanwhile on the outside of Casper High, where something extremely paranormal is happening around the school, Amity Park's 'professional' ghost-hunters, Jack and Maddie Fenton are walking up to the front doors of the building until Jazz Fenton cuts them off before they could even enter.*
Jazz: How many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing weird going on in this school!
*The married couple share a disbelieving look at their daughter's words as suddenly, a crowd of students burst out of the front doors, screaming in fear, which could only mean one thing in the minds of the Fenton adults themselves.*
Jack: Move, Maddie, move!
*And off they went, running into the school where Jack is wearing the Ghost Gauntlets. Jazz slaps her forehead in annoyance, knowing how her parents' obsession with ghosts has gotten over all these years.
Then again, none of the Fentons are unaware that their youngest member is a part of the supernatural community, alongside his best friend. Currently, Carrie is still with Sam and Tucker in the cafeteria while Danny is still in the hallway, being intangible as the school supplies fly right through him.*
Danny: Look, you don't understand!
Poindexter: Oh, I understand a bully when I see one.
*After expressing this, Poindexter shoots a ghost ray out of his eyes, which hits Danny, and sends him through a wall, then through a library, and he lands in another hallway. While still being intangible, Danny flies back and looks around sticking out of a wall of lockers.*
Danny: Oh, man, where's Care when I need her!?
*And speaking of Carrie Mayth, the tomboyish teen was currently forced into the library with Tucker Foley halfway between lunch whereas the techno-geek is explaining the history of PDAs invention.*
Tucker: And see right here? *Points to a man cradling a PDA in his hands that's shown on the screen* Right here is where Mr. Steiner declared that the name of this beauty *Holds his own device* was called: Personal Digital Assistant.
*While saying this, Carrie let out a yawn of boredom. She didn't understand anything that's been explained during the half hour, even if she does plan on becoming an engineer in the future.*
Carrie: I know! It was invented in 1996! Y'know, the same time flip phones were invented!?
Tucker: *Ignores her words* Oh, wait! You've got to check out how Mr. Steiner even got the idea of a PDA!
*Obviously seeing as he wasn't indulging with the fact that the half-ghost girl wasn't interested in this type of stuff at all, Carrie let out another groan before slamming her head against the table until realizing that something felt odd, and it was due to the fact that her green ghost sense has been set off.*
Carrie: *Stands up* No! Come on, *Grabs his wrist* let's go something's up!
Tucker: *Whines* But, I wasn't finishedd!
*As she drags him out of the library, meanwhile, Sam Manson is in the hallway, currently rounding up loose frogs, and putting them back into the box after the shenanigans made by one of her best friends.*
Sam: There you go, little fellas.
*Suddenly, finding themselves in that same hallway, Danny and Poindexter come to a stand-off around the gothic activist.*
Poindexter: Put an egg in your shoe and beat it, bully. *Danny turns visible* I'm Sidney Poindexter…
*Just as he introduces himself, Tucker and Carrie walk up next to him, which causes the hybrid ghost to let out a gasp at the sight of Sidney Poindexter standing within their hallway.*
Carrie: *Wide-eyed* There's no way!
Poindexter: *Gesturing to Tucker* …and wherever there is a single nerd in need, I shall be there.
Tucker: Hey, who're you calling a nerd?
Carrie: I'm going ghost!
*The moment she transforms just for Poindexter's back to be turned, she watches as Danny flies towards him, practically wanting to take another shot at the spirit. But unfortunately, he becomes intangible, and that causes Danny to fly into both Tucker and Carrie instead. The three soon crash into some lockers and fall to the ground, and this allows Poindexter to become tangible again.*
Carrie: *Sits up while still shocked* What in the…? How the hell did he get here?
Tucker: *Realizing who Danny is up against, he gasps* That's the guy who used to have your locker… *To Danny* In your face, Mr. Skeptic.
Poindexter: In his face? *Pulls out an ink pen* Swell idea!
Danny: *To Carrie* Get the Fenton thermos and fast! I'll hold this freak off!
*After demanding this, Poindexter suddenly causes the pen to spray ink in the half-ghost's face. Once Carrie quickly flies through the ceiling, the spirit nerd just laughs at his little adjust. But it ends, when Danny turns intangible and flies into him, sending them both through the floor and into the basement. Soon, feeling weak from the attack, Danny transforms back into his human self automatically.*
Poindexter: Holy socks! You're the halfa!
Danny: *Stands up* The what-a?
Poindexter: The halfa... Everybody in the Ghost Zone talks about you. But not just you, they also talk about your girlfriend as well. Both are half humans, half ghosts -- the halfas! You and that ghost gal have all our powers on the human plane. An- *Becomes angry* And you were using your powers for evil?
Danny: *Glares for a moment* Okay, first of all, Carrie isn't my girlfriend. And second of all -- No! Just listen! I-I took over Dash's body, because--
Poindexter: *Cuts off* Hey, wait. You can take over a person's body? Jeepers creepers, I would flip if I had your powers. *Gets an idea* I wonder…
*Without saying another word, Poindexter turns intangible and suddenly flies into Danny's body, which starts glowing green and shaking as the halfa boy struggles to resist.*
Danny: Hey! *Grunts* What are you doing?!
Poindexter: Giving you a taste of your own medicine, bully.
Danny: Listen to me! Dash-- isn't--
*Just when Danny could at least explain the real story, his face and body begin to distort into weird positions, which are accompanied by strange sounds until a sudden calm comes over his body.*
Poindexter: You might use your powers to pick on innocent kids…
*Soon, Danny's ghost half intangibly floats up out of his body and through the ceiling.*
Poindexter: *Now possessing Danny's body* …But I sure as sugar won't.
*Suddenly, with a loud battle cry, incomes Carrie in her phantom form, ready to throw a punch towards Sidney Poindexter who unfortunately wasn't somewhere to be 'seen.'*
Carrie: *Becomes confused* Huh? *To Danny/Poindexter with the Fenton Thermos* Dude, I got the thermos, where is Mr. Straps?
Poindexter(as Danny): Oh, don't worry, toots, I took care of that low-life ages ago.
Carrie: *Narrows eyebrows at the nickname* Uh, it's been almost a few minutes since you guys were fighting. *Becomes concerned* And what happened to your voice?
Poindexter(as Danny): Uh… *Grins innocently* Puberty…?
Carrie: *Rolls her blue-colored eyes* Whatever. Come on, we should get out of here before someone catches us messing around with the theater stuff.
Poindexter(as Danny): *Watches her fly through the ceiling* Way ahead of ya, sweetness. *Smirks evilly* Way ahead of ya indeed…
*During their little interaction, Danny's ghost half suddenly floats into locker 724 and into the mirror. And on the other side, a locker door opens up to show students walking in a black-and-white fifties' version of Casper High in the Ghost Zone. Soon, a jock walking by doubles back to look into the locker, noticing his dearly, nerdy victim still stuffed inside it.*
'50s Jock #1: Hey, Poindexter!
*Inside locker 724, Danny looks at his reflection in the mirror behind him to see that he wasn't in his regular modern physical body anymore, but now - he has become Sidney Poindexter himself, and without a split second, the halfa boy lets out a scream of agony.*
*Now, back in the modern world of Casper High School, Jack and Maddie Fenton are running down the hallway, followed by Mr. Lancer, until they notice Sam, Tucker, and a now-human Carrie as the three apparently have the box of stolen frogs, carried in their hands.*
Maddie: Is it true? Did you kids just witness a ghost attack?
Jack: Fear not, young ones. *Raises electrified Ghost Gauntlets in the air* These gloves are made for grabbing!
*Suddenly, Poindexter (still possessing Danny's body) phased up intangibly through the floor behind Maddie, causing Tucker and Carrie to notice this and gasp. But without hesitation, Tucker quickly rushed over to block him from view as the raven-haired boy turned tangible again before he would be caught.*
Tucker: Uh, no ghost here, Mr. and Mrs. F.
Carrie: *Chuckles nervously* Yup. It's like they vanished off quickly... Ooh! What if that's one of their powers?
Jack: *Seeing what Carrie's getting at* Maddie, take notes!
Mr. Lancer: Only a girl trying to create a diversion for her own needs.
Sam: Right. Right. No ghosts here…
*When all three teens watch as the adults walk off, Carrie faces Danny and instantly smacks the back of his head.*
Carrie: Are you insane!?
Tucker: Yeah, dude. Watch it, your parents almost caught your intangible act.
*Poindexter smirks in satisfaction of not being suspected, whereas, meanwhile, back in the black and white Ghost Zone version of Casper High, Danny Fenton (still trapped in Poindexter's body) is walking down a hallway.*
Danny(as Poindexter): Where am I? It's like I dropped into Grandpa Fenton's yearbook.
*Just then, a male teen comes up to Danny, making him stop.*
Teen #1: Hey, Poindexter. *Points at Danny's chest* You got a spot on your shirt. *Flicks finger up to hit him in the nose* Ha! Made you look!
*As he walks away, students in the hallway laugh, which makes Danny glare at them and turn to keep walking, only to be suddenly tripped by a girl in a poodle skirt.*
Poodle Skirt Girl: Have a nice trip, Poindexter. See you next fall?
*When walking away, leaving Danny still on the ground, a punk male teen in a leather jacket grabs the back of his pants and pulls his underwear up to lift him into the air, giving him a large, painful wedgie.*
Punk: Hey, don't you know there's a dress code, Poindexter?
*Owning a Jersey accent, the punk lets go of the underwear and it snaps over Danny's head. The boy possessed within the spirit nerd's body rips it off and runs to go through the front doors of the school just to suddenly struggle when keeping himself from falling as he realizes there's no ground as the school is floating in the Ghost Zone. He falls but quickly catches himself on the front step and tries to pull himself back up.*
Danny(as Poindexter): I gotta get out of here!
*But back in the present world, Sidney Poindexter is walking with Sam, Tucker, and Carrie down their modern school hallway whereas the Foley boy is currently accompanying Sam by helping her carry the box filled with frogs.*
Poindexter(as Danny): Ooh, ooh! Spiff diddly dee, man. So this is what it's like to have friends.
Sam: You sure you're alright, Danny?
Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow in concern* Yeah, you're saying things we've never heard a teenager say, and frankly, it's kind of creepy…
Tucker: Danny?
Poindexter(as Danny): Oh, me, yeah right, I'm right like -- Ike, Mike!
Sam: Why does your voice sound so weird?
Poindexter(as Danny): Uh… puberty?
Carrie: *Whispers to Tucker* How many times can a 14-year-old boy hit puberty?
Tucker: *Whispers back* I don't know… And hey, what happened to Poindexter?
Poindexter(as Danny): Oh, that square? *They stop walking* He flew the coop. Permanent-like.
*While Poindexter continues walking, this causes Sam, Tucker, and Carrie to stay behind, and stare suspiciously at him where soon, they watch as Dash Baxter is currently hitting a vending machine.*
Dash: Come on! Give me my soda!
Poindexter(as Danny): Hey, let me help you out of there, pal.
*Using his ghost powers, Poindexter phases an intangible hand through the side of the vending machine as Sam, Tucker, and Carrie walk up behind him, watching their best friend fumble around until the machine clicks and dispenses a soda; they watch Dash take the canned beverage and drink it.*
Dash: *Crashes the can* Thanks, Fenton.
Poindexter(as Danny): Eh, no problemo.
Dash: What, are you going through puberty?
*The trio shared a questioning look, seeing as that was the same excuse their best friend had replied with for the third time.*
Dash: Uh, you know, I'm a little tight on quarters. Think you can get a few more sodas for me and my pals?
Poindexter(as Danny): *Winks* Hehe, you betcha.
Carrie: Uh, dude…?
*Not bothering to listen to the female halfa, Poindexter phases a hand into the machine again, which causes it to dispense more sodas.*
Sam: Danny, that's stealing.
Carrie: *Places hands on hips* Yeah, even though I did, it still was a one-time thing.
Poindexter(as Danny): *Gathering the sodas in his arms* Eh, I'm sure that poor kid lost more than his fair share of quarters to the vicious bullies in this school. It's time somebody evened the score. *Passing out sodas to Dash and his friends* Hey, everybody! Egg creams on me!
Kwan: I don't know what the heck an egg cream is, but thanks!
Sam: Well, this is new.
Carrie: Definitely...
*Meanwhile, back to the present-day Casper High School football field, two groups of students are huddled up separately, one of which includes Poindexter and the jocks.*
Dash: Okay, Fenton. After the snap, I'll hand the ball off to you.
*Poindexter then salutes and runs off, laughing crazily as he looks to the rest of the group, not having any idea what's to come for him.*
Dash: *To the group* Leave him wide open for punishment.
*Knowing what their team captain is up to, the group do so, and soon, break its huddle just to line up for the snap.*
Meanwhile, back in the Ghost Zone of the 1950s, Danny is now hanging by his shirt from a ceiling fan, struggling to get down. His shirt finally rips and he falls to the floor, then runs over to open locker 724; he puts his hands on the mirror inside.*
Danny(as Poindexter): Have to contact them somehow…
*The halfa concentrates as he manages to emit a green energy that transfers through the mirror and into the present-day version of the locker. The energy then travels as a ray down the hallway and outside to the football field, where it begins to carve a message into the turf at Sam, Tucker, and Carrie's feet, which causes the blue-haired girl's ghost sense to go off once more.*
Carrie: *Becomes concern and looks around* Alright, you invertebrates, where ya hiding?
*Once the two groups of students are still lined up for the football snap, Dale snaps the ball to Dash, who winks at him and Kwan as a signal for them to give Poindexter space. Dash then hands the ball to a confused Poindexter, which makes Sam and Tucker wince in anticipation of the impending tackle.*
Tucker: *To Carrie* Uh, might wanna look away, dude…
*Unfortunately, having to pull the female halfa from her paranoia state, she looks to see Danny ready for a new incoming of bullying by every quarterback member, and winces next.*
Sam: Well, it was nice knowing him.
Tucker: Think I could have his computer?
Carrie: Oh, hush up, he'll be fine… *Mutters* I hope…
*Just then, the green energy finishes writing the message in the turf, which reads, 'TUCKER, SAM, CARRIE -- OPEN LOCKER 724.' Whereas, the opposing team tries to tackle Poindexter, but suddenly, he goes intangible and phases out of the pile of players to run the ball in for a touchdown, this causes Dash and his friends to look astonished.*
Dash: Fenton's got game! Who knew?
*Poindexter does a little touchdown dance of celebration. Sam, Tucker, and Carrie look happy and relieved he didn't get hurt, and begin to look down at the ground at their feet. However, before they have a chance to see Danny's message to them, Jack and Maddie run up, wiping out the message with their feet.*
Jack: There's ghosts in here. I can feel it in my boots! And I'm not leaving this campus *Holds up Ghost Gauntlets* 'til these gloves grab some ghosts.
*Carrie cringes at the sight just to have Sam's hand rest upon her shoulder, advising that she should keep cool in order to not want her ghost powers becoming exposed.
She cautiously watches the Fenton Finder that Maddie is holding begins to beep, and she turns it towards the source: Poindexter in Danny's body. The Fenton Finder reads, 'GHOST!' and shows Danny's image.*
Maddie: A ghost? That can't be right.
*She scans the area again and soon, the source begins to beep rapidly due to finding Carrie's figure as it reads that she's also a 'GHOST.' The Mayth girl smiles nervously and waves whereas Sam stood protectively in front of her.*
Sam: *Smiles nervously* Nope, no ghosts here!
Maddie: *Raises eyebrows* Hmm. Looks like we'll be staking out the school all night, Jack. Don't wait up.
Jack: In that case, I need to use the little ghost hunters' room. *Hands Tucker the gauntlets* Hold these gloves, son. Where I'm going, there's no need for that much power.
*The trio watches as the Fenton duo rush off, leaving Carrie to let out a breath of relief which allows her to thank Sam just to have Dash shout something out from the field.*
Dash: Party at Fenton's house!
Poindexter(as Danny): Hot dog! Where does he live?
Kwan: It's your house, bonehead. *To the crowd* Is he hilarious or what?
Sam: Free soda, a touchdown, and the opportunity to trash a classmate's living room. How easily the letter jacket and pom-pom set is swayed.
Tucker: I don't know. Danny seems a little… off.
Carrie: Yeah, no kidding. And for some reason, my ghost senses keep going off, but everywhere I look, there's no ghost around.
Sam: *Looks at the 'Save the Frogs'! badge on her shirt* Although, the residual popularity effect could work to our advantage. *Runs over to Kwan, waving the badge* Oh, Kwan! You simply must wear one of these 'Save the Frogs'! badges. It's all the rage.
Kwan: I don't know…
Poindexter(as Danny): *Taking the badge* Hey! Boss badge. Can I have one?
*He puts the badge on his shirt just to have the other popular kids begin to crowd around him.*
Dash: Hey, I want one!
Paulina: Me, too. I can wear it with my old army lime green baby tee!
Kwan: *To Sam* Give me one, yo! I started this trend.
Carrie: *Narrows eyebrows* Did you now?
Sam: Hang on, folks… Plenty more in my locker where that one came from.
*Soon, she, Tucker, and Carrie begin to rush back inside the school down the hallway just for locker 724 to glow green once more. Once the trio walk by, Carrie's ghost sense goes off, which makes the tomboyish teen groan in annoyance since this happens to be the third time in a row.*
Carrie: *Becomes angry* Alright! Either you're an invisible ghost, or that's you pulling childish pranks on me, Danny! So, man up and show yourself, coward!
*Before Sam and Tucker could ask what was wrong with the phantom girl, locker 724 suddenly flings open, causing the three to jump back in fear.*
Danny(as Poindexter): *From inside the locker* Sam! Tucker! Carrie! In here!
Sam: *Becomes concern* Poindexter?
Danny(as Poindexter): No! It's me, Danny! Poindexter took over my body and sent me into this bizarro spirit world!
*The three friends share a disbelieving look, then they all cross their arms, and face him.*
Sam: Prove it.
Danny(as Poindexter): In second grade, Tucker threw up in your lunch box, but he told you Ricky Marsh did it, Sam.
*From behind, Tucker is signaling Danny (within Sidney Poindexter's body) to not share this information whereas both Sam and Carrie gasp at the memory.*
Carrie: *Shocked* Wait, what?! I also blamed Ricky for stealing mine and Sam's graham crackers!
Sam: And we kicked him off the monkey bars for those crimes! *Points at Tucker, who smiles guiltily* It was all you?!
*Realizing what their best friend were saying, practically reminding them about their childhood memories of stolen goods, the three look back at the mirror in disbelief even more.*
Sam, Tucker, and Carrie: Danny?
Danny(as Poindexter): *Trying to get through the mirror* The mirror acts as some kind of portal, but I can't phase through it. *Sighs in defeat* Serves me right. I'm only here because I was acting like a bully… Now I'm in here and I'm gonna get bullied for the rest of eternity!
*During this moment of course, Carrie gets an idea.*
Carrie: Hey, what if I go through the mirror and phase us both back here together?
Danny (as Poindexter): *Sighs* By all means, Care, you could try.
Carrie: I'm going ghost!
*Now, becoming her ghost self, Carrie becomes intangible and flies straight towards the mirror, ready to phase through it. But unfortunately, she is met with a strange barrier as suddenly, the female halfa slams into the mirror with a grunt, and falls upon the ground, which causes Tucker to laugh at her epic fail.*
Carrie: *Becomes tangible and quickly floats towards him* Ha! Ha! Very funny, y'know, I could possess your body and slam you into the mirror for fun, how'd you like that, dude!?
*Remembering who he's best friends with, he stops laughing.*
Tucker: Even though you've stated multiple times, you wouldn't ever possess a person's body.
Carrie: *Smirks and crosses arms* You'd be the first then.
Tucker: *Holds hands in a surrounding mock* Alright! Alright! I'm sorry… But hey, maybe the reason you couldn't get through the mirror is because your human self is part of this timeline?
Sam: Yeah, if Care might not be able to get in, or you might not be able to get out, then that couldn't mean Poindexter can't get back in.
Tucker: I doubt he's in a big hurry to go back where he came from.
Carrie: Yeah, the dude's insane! He's got you going on having a popular social life!
Danny(as Poindexter): *Thinks and gets an idea* I know how to get him in here. Here's what you guys need to do.
*Once their brilliant plan is discussed, all they need now are the main prodigies to complete it, and soon, Sam and a now human Carrie are pulling Poindexter by each arm while running down the hallway in a fake crisis.*
Sam: Danny! Come quick! A bully is shoving a poor, defenseless nerd inside his own locker.
*And that same boy happens to be Tucker Foley who is standing indifferently with his hands behind his back in front of the open locker 724. Just when the two girls stop running, Poindexter skids to a halt.*
Poindexter(as Danny): Tucker! I'll save you! *Goes ghost* Hey, there's no nerd getting shoved inside his locker.
*Oh, but what Poindexter didn't expect is when Tucker casually walks forward, he suddenly pulls the Ghost Gauntlets from behind his back as a surprise, causing Poindexter to let out a scream just for the techno-geek' hands to grab him with each gauntlet.*
Tucker: There is now!
Poindexter: NOOOOO!
Sam: Now, Care!
*Once her signal is called out, Carrie goes ghost and flies into Danny's body (who is still overshadowed by Poindexter) while he yells in defeat just for Tucker to shove him into his locker and through the mirror to a waiting Danny as the boy grabs hold of Poindexter into Casper High School in the 1950s, letting him land on the floor.*
Danny(as Poindexter): You have had your fun. Now I want my body and life back!
*Instead of getting a reply from his nemesis, Poindexter stood up as his body began to glow bright green.*
Poindexter(as Danny): *Restrains* Get! Out! Of!ME!
*After expressing this, suddenly, Carrie is shot out of Danny's body, and with a scream, the girl crash lands against the lockers.*
Danny(as Poindexter): *Shocked* Carrie!? How did you get here!?
Carrie: *Smiles weakly* Finally overshadowed someone that's how! *Floats beside him* But it's for a good cause!
Poindexter(as Danny): *To Carrie* Oh, hush up, Gloomy Bonnie, for a weak halfa like you, you wouldn't hesitate.
Carrie: *Raises an eyebrow* I'm sorry, what's a 'halfa'?
Poindexter(as Danny): *Ignores her and looks at Danny* Forget you, billy! You aren't going anywhere.
*Poindexter flies at Danny, but is shaky and ends up hitting him with his backside. Once Danny crashes into a wall, Poindexter flies at him again, and this time, with more confidence and stability.*
Poindexter(as Danny): Haha! *Turns intangible* I'm doing it!
*Danny side eyes Carrie as the two narrowly dodges the attacks, allowing the nerd to phase through the wall.*
Carrie: You know, I was looking forward to a fight; but this seems more interesting.
Danny(as Poindexter): You may have my powers, but you sure don't know how to use them. 'Course, we... *Adjusts to Carrie* ...don't know how to use them, but at least we know how not to use them better than you do, *Chuckles nervously, the side eyes her* right…?
Carrie: *Snickers* Exactly... So, good luck trying to get a punch out of them, ya damn nerd!
*Knowing he's heard that -- Poindexter phases back out of the wall and tries to hit Danny mid-air, which Danny easily dodges while Carrie becomes intangible.*
Danny(as Poindexter): You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses. *Ducks* You couldn't hit a guy with glasses. *Ducks another hit* In fact, you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn!
Poindexter(as Danny): *Frustrated* Hold still, will you! *To Carrie* And you're intangible, that's not playing fair!
Carrie: *Giggles and becomes tangible* Then let me make it easier for you, nerd.
*With a smirk, the blue-eyed girl walks closer, encouraging Poindexter trapped in her partner's body to land a new punch due to where Carrie is standing -- a few inches away. But suddenly, the school bell rings, and students come out of classrooms and crowd around Poindexter (unknowing that he's possessing a modern teen) while that same teen is possessing him.*
Students: *Chanting* Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Carrie: *Ducks* Oh, come on! I'm literally so close, yet, you can't get a single punch out of me?
*As Poindexter continues throwing his punches, Danny and Carrie easily duck, until soon, the momentum of the swings is making them both spin.*
'50s Jock #3: Hey! Get a load of Poindexter. He's fighting the halfas!
Greaser: Hehe! Look at Poindexter standing up to that weird-haired ghost boy.
Poodle Skirt Girl: Yeah! And not only is he standing up to him, but the girl halfa, too!
Danny(as Poindexter): I'm not a bully!
Carrie: Yeah, and seriously, what the hell is a 'halfa'!?
*Noticing his enemy being distracted, Poindexter takes the opportunity and punches Danny, which sends him back into locker 724, closing the door on him.*
Carrie: Danny!
*Just when she could fly towards him, the ghost girl is suddenly given a hardcore punch to the jaw, which sends her back against the locker, 724.*
Carrie: *Groans and holds her head* Oh, look, who's not playing fair now?
Poindexter(as Danny): Now, if you and your spiffy little girlfriend don't mind, I'm gonna live it up some more in your body, Clyde.
Carrie: *Mutters* Why does everyone assume I'm his girlfriend!?
*However, the moment his locker door opens, Danny steps out, holding the golden (black-and-white) mirror high above his head.*
Poindexter: What?!
Danny(as Poindexter): One false move, and I'll smash your door back to our world.
Poindexter(as Danny): You wouldn't. You would strand us all here.
Carrie: *Floats besides Danny* Then, that's a risk we're willing to take!
Danny(as Poindexter): *Nods and lowers the mirror* So try us.
*Poindexter then attempts to reach for the mirror whereas Danny pulls it back, but then, an idea comes to mind.*
Poindexter(as Danny): *Smirks* I've got a better idea. I can make you. With your powers, I can make you and your halfa pal here do anything…
*Knowing what Danny's plan was, Carrie watches as Poindexter turns intangible and phases into the modern teen, who drops the mirror and glows green.*
Danny: That's what I was hoping you would do.
*Just then, his face once again distorts into weird positions, causing Carrie to wince at this sight until she watches him fall on the floor. Danny, now back in his own body, phases out of Poindexter and flies into the air.*
Carrie: *Hugs him* Nice thinkin', dude!
Poindexter: *In his own body* Huh? No! You won't get away with this!
Carrie: *Scoffs and pulls away* Uh, yeah we will. And, hope you had fun for a while, because you're gonna be trapped in here for a long time!
*And without saying another word, the two halfas fly towards the mirror and successfully phase through it, leaving Sidney Poindexter to pick the item up and begin to yell at it.*
Poindexter: I'll get out of here, buster brown and gloomy gladys! But when I do, you two better watch it!
*Soon, a group of students walks up behind him in assument.*
'50s Jock #3: Hey, nerd! Nice job standing up to the halfas.
Greaser: Who'd have thought you had it in you?
Poodle Skirt Girl: You wanna grab an egg cream?
*Now seeing the bullies that would give their poor, defenseless victim so much torture every day have suddenly switched up, Poindexter smiles and puts the mirror back in his locker.*
Poindexter: Of course, I could hang here *Closes locker* for a little bit. *To students* Hey, the heck with the egg cream. Who's up for a diet soda? Whatever that is!
*And finally, back at the present-day Casper High School, Mr. Lancer is carrying the box of frogs that were stolen by a certain activist. But right as he passes locker, 724, Danny and Carrie suddenly fall out of them (both back in their human forms), knocking them all to the ground.
Soon, finding freedom all around, the frogs begin to hop away out of the dropped box, causing Mr. Lancer to run after them, passing Sam and Tucker leaning on some other lockers.*
Mr. Lancer: No! Come back!
Sam: *Sarcastically* Oh, dear. Whatever will we do? *Danny and Carrie walks up to them, looking down* Good one, guys.
Tucker: Yeah. *To Danny* But how do we know you are the real Danny?
Danny: Because I used my powers for the wrong reason and became exactly the kind of person I hate. It got me into a load of trouble, and I'm never gonna do that again.
Carrie: Glad you learned your lesson, dude.
Sam: Now that's the Danny we remember.
Danny: *Takes mirror out of locker* Just one more thing to do.
*Not having the urge to hesitate, Danny then throws the mirror on the ground, which allows its glass to shatter completely, all while thinking he wouldn't be caught, but of course, a voice is heard from a distance.*
Mr. Lancer: Fenton! That's school property.
*The quartet looks to find their vice-principal wearing the 'Save the Frogs' badge, but he happens to be standing in front of a crowd of students also wearing that same badge, where they exclusively carried some signs for a frog campaign.*
Danny: I can explain! *Hesitates* Actually, I can't…
Mr. Lancer: I'm holding you responsible for this and the escaped frogs, but seeing how *Looks at Dash* upstanding students like Dash Baxter have made their opinions known, I'm willing to overlook the frogs. *Glances at Sam* Miss Manson, you could learn a thing or two from them about activism. *Sam frowns* Still, *Holds up a pencil and notebook* that leaves the matter of your locker. I'm going to have to assign you a new one.
*Danny didn't mind having a new locker, but he did in fact mind that his locker is next to the 'Band Room'. He closes his locker door as the tuba player from earlier walks by, making Dash and Kwan then walk up behind him.*
Kwan: Hanging with band geeks, Fenton?
Dash: No amount of free soda's gonna fix that.
*Both jocks walk away with pleasing smirks against their faces as then, two band kids, one of which is named Lyle, walk up to the Fenton figure.*
Lyle: Hi. I'm Lyle. Wanna help me clean my spit valve? *Holds up his instrument that's filled with saliva.*
Danny: *Sighs* My fifteen minutes of popularity is up, and I wasn't even here for it.
*Sam, Tucker, and Carrie walk up to stand beside him while the goth girl is holding the mechanical frog, this leaves Carrie to place a comforting hand on her best friend's shoulder.*
Carrie: It's better to stay in closure here than to be stuck in some other place, dude.
Sam: Yeah, but at least it wasn't a total loss for your guys' sake. *Looks at frog* Looks like this baby's gonna get some use after all.
*Just then, out of nowhere, the Box Ghost swoops in and takes the frog out of her hands, flying above them.*
Box Ghost: Aha! I am no longer the Box Ghost. I am now the Mechanical Frog Ghost!
Carrie: *Narrows her eyebrows in annoyance* What would you do with a mechanical frog anyway?
*The moment she's asked this, the metal amphibian crackles with electricity, which causes the Box Ghost to drop it onto Tucker's head out of fear.*
Box Ghost: Uh, I've changed my mind! I am once again the Box Ghost, who will have nothing to do with mechanical amphibians. *Raises arms* Beware! *Phases through lockers*
Danny: Now there's a guy who knows exactly who he is.
Carrie: *Scoffs coldly* Yeah, annoying and boxy...
