Danny blinked as he found himself on the rooftops with The Jester. Danny shook his head before noticing she was looking over the town.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"I know that most dates have romantic dinners and dances, but I want to have a little fun pranking a few people first." She said, still looking.
Danny was unsure about this, but Alice did warn him about her idea of pranking people during the date.
"Hel-lo! I see Mr. Big-Shot is out and about!" The Jester said, making Danny look.
It was Dash, and with him was Paulina. Danny had to guess that Dash was taking Paulina out on a date again, though Paulina clearly didn't want to be there.
"Oh, that girl is there too! Maybe I can get some payback for what she did to Alice!" The Jester smirks, looking ready for payback.
"What did she do?" Danny asked.
"Eh, just try to make Alice feel bad about herself. Claiming she wasting her life by hanging out with you. No one messes with Alice except me!" Jester said.
"Are you sure? I mean, I know those two can get on everyone's nerves, and I'm glad I no longer like Paulina, but I'm not sure if..." Danny started before a finger was placed on his lips.
"It's sweet of you to worry, but I'm not going to hurt them. Besides, this would be a great time for you to get payback. Dash doesn't even know you're dressed as a Jester! All you have to do is be funny and let my curse do the rest!" Jester said.
Danny blinks, still unsure. But he did get what she meant. Dash was stupid. If he couldn't figure out that Danny Fenton was Danny Phantom, then he shouldn't figure out he's a jester.
"Alright, I can play along," Danny said, making Jester smile.
"Great, here's the plan..." She said.
"Come on, Paulina! Give me another chance!" Dash whined.
"Get over it, Dash! You tried to hit on that Alice girl!" Paulina said.
"It's not my fault she has a smoking body," Dash said, making Paulina growl.
"Ever since she showed up, that's all you boys talk about! Alice this, and Alice that! Well, I'm sick of it! I'm going to teach that girl what happens when someone tries to upstart me." Paulina said, confusing Dash.
Before Dash could try and ask Paulina out again, some lights shone on around the area before a voice was heard.
"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the greatest show on earth! Please, make sure you're seated before we begin!"
Before both of them could ask what was happening, Dash and Paulina found themselves falling on some chairs that swung out of nowhere.
"And now your hosts! The fun-loving, the sweet-hearting, the chaotic pair, The Jesters of Amity Park!"
A smoke bomb went off as The Jester and Phantom Jester appeared, causing clapping to be heard. Dash and Paulina looked around, seeing no one else with them.
"Thank you, thank you, it's great to be here, folks!" The Jester said, bowing.
"Today, we have a show for all to see!" The Phantom Jester said before the Jester appeared behind him.
"Indeed, my love! It's going to be a chaotic good time!" She said, kissing him.
"Awww!"
Dash and Paulina looked around again, completely lost and confused.
"Now, now, Jester, we have a show to run, remember?" Phantom Jester said, breaking the kiss.
"Too true! Now, for our first trick!" Jester said, reaching behind her.
She pulled out a balloon before blowing it up and tying it into a ball.
"Whoops! Wrong trick!" Jester said, getting some laughs.
"Here, hold this, will ya?" She asked, tossing the balloon ball to Dash.
As soon as he caught it, the balloon burst open and a pie flew into his face. The laughs were here as Jester smiled.
"THAT was my trick!" She laughs.
"The old pie in the face. But I was thinking of something more...shall we say, interesting?" Phantom Jester said.
"Oh? And what do you have in mind, my love?" Jester asked.
"Well, we need some help from the audience for it." He said before a lot of voices started to shout "Pick me!" "No, pick me!"
Dash was whipping the pie off his face before he spotted the male Jester in front of him.
"How about you, sonny?" He said, confusing Dash.
"Um..." Dash tried to say before he was dragged to where the jesters were standing.
"And I got the "Dunk a moron"!" Jester smirks, causing clapping to be heard.
"What's going on?" Dash asked, confused.
"We better get him in his swimwear! My dear?" Phantom Jester said.
"Right-o, love!" She said, pulling a curtain over them.
"HEY! Get your hands off my jacket!" Dash shouted before the curtain pulled away.
Dash was left in his underwear, which had cute teddy bears on them. Laughs were heard as Dash tried to cover them.
"Aww, what a little teddy bear," Jester said as Phantom Jester pushed Dash on the plank.
"And now, to dunk the "moron." He said, getting more laughs.
He picked up the ball and threw it. It missed.
"Um, love? You're supposed to hit the target." Jester said.
"Wait for it." He said, smiling.
The ball ended up bouncing off a trash can, the mailbox, the roof of a car, a streetlight, and a tree before it hit the target, dropping Dash into the water. Cheers and clapping were heard as Phantom Jester took a bow.
"Nice shot, my love," Jester said, clapping.
"Thank you, and I hope his underwear isn't dry-clean only." Phantom Jester said, only to hear Dash scream as his underwear shrunk.
"I'll take that as a yes." Phantom Jester said, smirking.
Paulina looked ready to get up and leave but was shocked when the Jester popped up from behind her chair.
"And it looks like we have another volunteer!" She said, jumping over Paulina.
"Right this way, Miss!" She said, pulling Paulina towards the "stage."
Before Paulina could say anything, another curtain was pulled over her, blocking her from the viewers. When it pulled back, Paulina noticed she was dressed like a princess.
"Um, wow." She said, surprised.
"And for our next trick, we going to save the princess from the burning castle!" Jester said before turning to the readers.
"Don't try this at home, folks. It's also important to never jump out of a burning building." She said before she pushed Paulina towards a castle that appeared out of nowhere.
"Just head up to the top floor and look out the window. Don't worry, the fire won't touch you." She said, pushing Paulina inside.
Paulina blinked before walking up the stairs and looked out the window. She felt some heat rise and noticed the fire around her. She tried not to freak out before she noticed the Jesters below her, holding a safety net.
"Jump, dear princess!" Phantom Jester shouted.
"We got you!" Jester added.
Paulina took a breath before jumping. Before she could reach the net, a trampoline appeared and made her bounce off, making her land in the same water that Dash was in, ruining her hair, make, and clothes.
"That's what I call bouncing back!" Phantom Jester said, making laughs appear.
"And that's all we have for you today, folks! See you all next time on the same jester time, on the same jester show!" The Jester said before a huge smoke cloud covered the area, leaving Dash in his underwear and Paulina in her ruined state.
Before they could complain, a Police officer stood over them, clearly angry at them for doing something they weren't supposed to be doing.
Elsewhere,
Jester and Danny appeared back on the rooftop, laughing at the show they pulled.
"Wow, that felt good!" Danny said as The Jester wiped away a tear.
"Tell me about it! You make a good Jester." She said, smiling.
"I try." Danny smirks.
"I got to admit, I wonder what else we can do on this date?" He asked.
"Many things! The Night is still young, after all!" Jester smiles before leaning closer to him.
"And if you're lucky, maybe I can give you a special surprise." She added, smiling cutely.
"JESTER! I told you no!"
"Alice..." Jester started.
"Do that and I will never let you have another date for the rest of your life!"
"Girl, chill! What makes you think I'm going to do that to him? Really, Mom is getting to you." Jester said, rolling her eyes.
Danny blinks, still lost on what the two were talking about. Before he could ask, The Jester grabbed his arm, ready to move on to the next part of her date.
"Let's go! I have something else in mind!" She said, pulling Danny away.
Neither of them knew that they were being watched by Flawed Jester.
"Well, the boy clearly proved himself worthy of the gift. He would make a fine Jester." She said before heading off to find the Crazy Jester.
And that's just the start of this date! After thinking it a bit over, I went with Jonas's idea of the two pranking Dash and Paulina. Dash was dunked in the water and had his underwear shrunk on him. Paulina jumped from a fake build that was on fire and was sent splashing into the same water that Dash was in. And, as you read, the police officer found them, having no idea about the show and thought Dash and Paulina were doing things they weren't supposed to.
Alice's Jester Curse, as well as a bit of Danny's powers, help Danny pull off a few things when he acts like a Jester. And he had fun doing so! But it seems that they were followed a bit by Flawed Jester. She saw the act as a means to prove that Danny could become a Jester for real. But that will be covered later. There's still more of the date to do. I'll see you all then!
And Ronald, you posted the same review twice in the last chapter. And I still can't get rid of it.
