{"THIS EPISODE/CHAPTER WON'T BE THE ONE YOU FORGET!"}
*It has been only four months since Danny Fenton and Carrie Mayth had battled against the evil of Freakshow's mind control. And now, the two are on a request to find themselves as Amity Park's superheroes, even if they are their town's public enemies. Now, the halfas are hanging out with their two normal best friends, Sam Manson and Tucker Foley at a car sale's parking lot checking out a vehicle. Or should Sam and Carrie say that Danny and Tucker are the ones checking out the vehicle?*
Sam: Guys, come on! We're gonna be late for school!
*Not even bothering to answer, Carrie raises an eyebrow at the two boys as it appears that they aren't listening to the girls' words, leaving them exasperated.*
Carrie: Uh, guys?
Sam: Guys!
Danny: Isn't it everything I told you it would be and more?
Tucker: You did not lie, dude. You did not lie…
*And what the two boys were admiring with their very eyes, was a large yellow monster truck.*
Danny and Tucker: *In union* The Gi-normal Six-Thousand...
*Sam goes over and pulls herself up to read the specification card in the truck's window.*
Sam: 'Seats made of owl leather? Interior wood paneling made from the Amazon rainforest? *Angrily* 12 gallons to the mile?!' This car is an environmental nightmare!
Carrie: Heck, yeah, it is! 12 gallons?! I mean, most adults can't barely pay five bucks for a single!
Sam: *Gets down from the truck and looks at Danny and Carrie* I know what you guys should do!
Danny: *Instantly knows what she's thinking* No.
Sam: *Happily* You and Carrie could totally haunt this place! Scare people away from here and make them buy something else!
Carrie: *Puts a finger at her chin* Hmm, y'know, we haven't had a good scare in a while…
Danny: No.
Carrie: And since when do you make my decisions, Fenton?
Danny: Since last week's incident at the park, remember?
Carrie: *Blushes embarrassingly, looks away, and tugs her pigtails* Oh, yeah…
Tucker: Cut it out, Sam. It's a cool truck! Besides, this would not be the first time one of your bad ideas got Danny into trouble and Carrie always followed along with them.
Carrie: *Places her hands on her hips* Excuse me?
Sam: What are you talking about?
~~
*Nearly two months ago, Danny, Sam, Tucker, and Carrie were found down in Fenton Works' laboratory, messing around with the portal Danny's parents were currently working on. "Smile!" Sam calls out for the Fenton teen who held a jumpsuit in his hands until a flash of light merely blinds him.
Danny shakes his head slightly dazed and puts the suit down. "Okay, I showed you the Portal, can we get out of here now? My parents could be back here any minute… Besides, they say it doesn't work anyway." he asks, hoping that it'll be over soon.
"Come on, Danny. A Ghost Zone? Aren't you curious? You gotta check it out." Sam pries.
"Count me in! I mean, how cool would it be if we were to ever get to interact with the living of the dead?" Carrie agrees and checks herself out in the mirror as she is found to be wearing the same jumpsuit that owned a Fenton logo which happens to be the face of Jack Fenton himself.
Tucker raises an eyebrow, "Uh, why are you wearing that exactly?" he asks.
"Just wanted to try it on, and man, it sure is comfy!" she explained and glanced back at Danny. "No wonder your parents love wearing these so much."
Danny looks at Sam, "You know what? You're right… Who knows what kind of awesome, super-cool things exist on the other side of that Portal?" he finally gives him and places him in the jumpsuit.
Once he zips it up, the sticker of his father's face is shown right in the middle as well. "Hang onn…" Sam moves towards Danny and removes the sticker off his chest. "You can't go walking around with that on your chest." she points and goes to remove the one from Carrie's suit as well. "I'm doing it for your sake, Care because looking at it on your chest is creepy."
Carrie puts a finger on her chin. "Well, when you put it that way, I couldn't agree more, Manson…" she says and shudders at the thought. "And who knows, we might actually run into some spooky ghost world."
"The machine doesn't work, so I doubt that, Care," Danny said as they both stepped into the empty darkness that filled the ghost portal.
However, the moment Danny's hands reach out to find the wall to follow, they encounter a console panel which owns a red button bottom. Without having any idea what's about to happen, Danny's hand presses against the green button which reads: "ON". Suddenly, both teens are screaming in terrible pain due to having enormous amounts of energy zapping them, not knowing that this would be the last day of their lives as normal teenagers…*
~~
Sam: How's it bad I was there? If it wasn't for me, *Points to Danny* they'd be flying around with his dad's face on their chests.
Carrie: Yeah, I mean, c'mon, *Crosses her arms* it's not like she turned us into superpowered ghost-freaks on purpose now, did she?
Tucker: No, but it happened…
Sam: *Glances towards Carrie and points back at Danny with a smile* Know how you and he can say thank you? By crushing a few trucks!
Danny: Sam, *Gestures to himself and Carrie* we're the good guys! So unless these super-awesome trucks are being used for evil, we can't do anything.
Tucker: Except wonder if it's got a GPS satellite guidance system.
Danny: And rims.
Danny and Tucker: Big, spinning rims...
Sam: *Turns, feeling sullen, and starts walking away* Oh, I give up.
Carrie: *Shrugs* Even though I have to agree with what Danny says cause we're partners, it honestly would be fun to battle an actual monster truck.
Danny: *Glares at her* Really?
Carrie: Oh, come on, with our ghost powers, think about how fun it could be!
Danny: I am, and I think it would cause more destruction and add more bad reputations on our names, Care.
Carrie: *Groans and starts walking away to catch up with Sam* Fine, we'll stick to saving people.
Sam: *Glances back at Carrie in annoyance* Y'know, I just wish somebody would destroy these stupid trucks!
Carrie: Ditto.
*Little do they know that underneath the sidewalk where a grate is built to guide water from the rain or any liquid substance to the sewers, a familiar figure gazes in on one specific word that rings within her ears.*
(?): Well, it's about time you made a wish.
*Smoothly floats up from the grate, the figure is revealed to be Desiree, the wishing ghost. After moments of waiting, and waiting, the green-skinned woman is finally called amongst one of the people who are close friends with her enemies.*
Desiree: And so you have wished it, *Lifts her hands and they glow pink with magic* so shall it be…
*She then shoots out a beam of magical energy towards a diner called the "DAISY'S DAIRY DINER" which owns a large cow. Soon, the pink beam hits the cow which powers it up as it suddenly manages to break free from the roof and glances towards the car sale's parking lot where the trucks are currently parked and are still admired by Danny and Tucker, owning beady red eyes.*
Danny: I wonder what this button does.
*On the doorknob of the truck, Danny's finger presses one of the five buttons which suddenly has him and Tucker go flying back due to the cow's giant, metal hoof slamming onto the vehicle. Both boys get off the ground and lean up against another yellow truck, astonished by this scene.*
Danny: *Points up at it* Get away, fiend! Whatever you do, *Points back at the truck* leave this truck alone!
*Luckily, the giant cow did leave the truck alone, except when it let out a moo, turned to the side, and lifted up to reveal its udder before having a wave of milk squirting down on Danny, Tucker, and the vehicle.*
Tucker: Aw, man! I just became lactose intolerant!
*Now, Sam and Carrie are strolling down the sidewalk with both Danny and Tucker who were still covered in milk after the catastrophe they had encountered with the large robotic cow. Of course, Danny couldn't allow the metal animal to roam around, causing much more chaos within Amity Park in peace, he had gone ghost, and managed to beat it into a broken metal pulp; thankfully not needing any help from his partner.*
Tucker: Good job beating the big cow, Danny.
Danny: *Annoyed* Yeah, well, *Looks at Sam and Carrie with a scorn expression* it hasn't stopped Sam and Care from busting my chops about cruelty to un-living plastic animals.
Carrie: Oh, come on, *Crosses her arms* un-living plastic animals are still animals.
Tucker: That doesn't make any sense.
Carrie: *Looks at Tucker with a scowl* You don't make any sense!
Sam: *To Danny* Look, for me, I had to choose between fake cows and evil trucks. The cow won. *Stops suddenly and tugs on Carrie's shirt* Oh my gosh, Care, I almost forgot!
Carrie: *Looks back to see Sam walking towards a poster and gasps* No way! How could you forget!?
*In front of both girls, there is a poster that prescribes a movie ad for"Trinity of Doom" on the side of a bus stop, featuring a reptilian female with pigtails and sharp teeth, an attractive cyborg female with a ponytail, and a female with a red-and-black striped shirt, claws, and green hair.*
Sam: Trinity of Doom is out this Friday! Femalien vs. Terminatra, vs. Nightmerica!
Carrie: *Claps her hands in excitement* All our favorite female movie monsters in one film! Boy, does it feel like Christmas already!
Tucker: So it's a chick flick?
Carrie: Not exactly, and do you two realize you're still covered in cow juice?
Danny: *Looking down at his milk-covered self with disgust* Oh, duh!
*He turns invisible, his eyes turning green as he does and the milk oozes off him into a puddle on the sidewalk.
Tucker: *Crosses his arms in patience* Hello?
Danny: Oh, right, *Uses the tip of his finger to turn Tucker invisible next which has the milk ooze off him next* sorry…
Sam: Not just a chick flick, *Points up proudly* the chick flick. The three biggest female box office monsters battling it out in a big-budget special-effects bonanza! *Points to Danny* And since you promised we'd all go on Friday, *Leans back proudly* I happily bought us tickets.
Carrie: Y'know, what's the point of buying tickets if we could use our ghost powers and easily sneak into the theaters?
Danny: Because that wouldn't be fair to the world of those working in this environment, now wouldn't it, Care?
*Just when they could continue this topic, a voice breaks them out of it.*
(?): Danny?
*And that voice belongs to none other than Paulina Sanchez herself as the Latina walks across the street with pieces of paper in her hands.*
Paulina: *Shows him the invitation* You never told me whether or not you were coming to my quinceañera on Friday. *Hands him it*
Danny: That's because when you invited me, *Grabs the paper* I thought you were joking.
Tucker: And you forgot to invite me.
Sam: *Crossly* And remember not to invite me.
Carrie: *Irked* And especially, don't invite me.
Paulina: *Surprised* Oh, *Giggles and holds up a palm to flick it down* no, silly. You're all invited!
*She then shows what's on her invitation and it reads: "Paulina's Party, 15th Birthday Meteor Shower." Without hesitation, Tucker happily takes the paper, leaving Sam and Carrie to forcibly take theirs, feeling ticked (especially the female halfa herself).*
Tucker: Yes!
Sam and Carrie: *Clenches the paper in their hands* No!
Danny: Really?
Paulina: Really. I knew Danny wouldn't come if I didn't invite you three, *Gestures to the trio* but, *Lowers her eyelids dreamily* I especially want Danny to be there.
Danny: Me?
Carrie: *Scoffs coldly* She's joking right?
Paulina: Of course. My papa is throwing the party at the country club, and it's happening on the same night as a meteor shower. And I really want that ghost boy to be there. And since the ghost boy seems to show up wherever you and Gloomy Nobody is, *Gestures to Carrie who glares at her* I figured I had no choice but to invite you and your loser friends!
Carrie: And, there it is!
Danny: *Happily* The ghost boy?
Sam: You do realize that whenever the ghost boy shows up, the ghost girl is always with him, right?
Paulina: Well, of course, and besides, what is she to him anyways? She might as well be his sister, *Starts walking away while talking* or some loner who has nothing to do better in life than ruin his life by following him all the time.
*After she says this, Carrie growls sternly at the Latina as her eyes flicker blue in irritation.*
Carrie: *To Danny* You're seriously not considering going to her party as Danny Phantom, are you?
Danny: How could I not? *Calls out after Paulina* Oh, don't worry, he'll be there, Paulina! I promise!
Carrie: *Glares* Of course, you are… And aren't you forgetting something that's specifically happening on the same day as her party?
Sam: Yeah, I mean, guys, *Points behind her with her thumb* Movie? Friday? *Holds the invitation tightly in her fist* Carrie's non-refundable tickets?!
Danny: Oh, come on, guys, *Looks to his invite and gestures them* we never get invited to these parties.
Carrie: *Crosses her arms in annoyance* Gee, and why do you think Paulina oh-so wants you there so suddenly, Fenton?
Tucker: Care, listen, I don't get to go if he doesn't go!
Danny and Tucker: *In union* Pretty please with those dark licorice sprinkles with the black frosting you like with those little gummy bats on top? *To Carrie* And dark chocolate sprinkles with blueberry icing mixed with little gummy bears you also like?
*Sam looks at Carrie, wondering if they should give in and go to the party. Not even bothering to receive an answer from Carrie, Sam sighs, and decides to give one anyway.*
Sam: Alright! Alright!
Danny and Tucker: *High-fives each other* Whoo-hoo!
Danny: *Points a finger at them* You're both coming to the party too, right?
Sam: Yes, *Rolls her eyes* I'll be there…
*She looks at Carrie, then nudges her arm which allows the female halfa to fall out of her thoughts and groan in annoyance.*
Carrie: Fine, I'll be there, too. *Points a stern finger at him* But I will not be showing up as Carrie the Non-Named Superhero, just you know, dude.
Danny: Wasn't expecting it, Care.
*Once he leaves, Carrie grunts and clenches the invitation in her hands.*
Carrie: And just when I spent good money on those tickets!
*Suddenly, she releases a bit of anger by surrounding it with ectoplasmic energy that causes it to burn into shreds.*
Sam: *Places her hands on Carrie's shoulders* Come onn, let's find a nice quiet area to release more of that stress, hmm?
Carrie: *Sighs* Sure… I'm in the mood of beating up an old trash can.
Sam: *Starts walking themselves away* And besides, maybe something will happen to Paulina, and then the party will get canceled.
Carrie: But I'm the good guy in this worst-case scenario, *Puts a finger on her chin in thought* though, not that I would wish for it to happen…
*Just as this one word is used, a swirl of pink mist spirals in front of the poster once both girls are gone it materializes into Desiree.*
Desiree: Well, she did say'wish'…
*With an evil laugh, Desiree shoots a pink magical beam out of her hand into the poster that would continue the next part of her wishing journey.*
*And today's lesson in the class taught by Mr. Lancer himself, the English teacher is now going over the history of the annual meteor shower with a rock.*
Mr. Lancer: Thousands of meteors will be visible in the skies of Amity Park this Friday. People tend to wish upon these 'falling stars' without realizing that at the speeds they're falling, they could drill through your tiny skulls like they were wet toilet paper!
*After lecturing the students about this, Mr. Lancer didn't realize he had taken this event way out of proportion as it left the teens shocked by their teacher's outcome. However, this event had one student happy and excited about it due to it being on the day of her birth.*
Paulina: Papa says the stars are falling on my birthday just for me. *Claps her hands dreamily with glee* And I'm going to wish to meet the ghost boy, and hope that the ghost girl isn't going to show up there, because if one of the meteors flies towards me, *Raises her hands in ecstatic joy* the ghost boy could save me, and he'll probably realize that the ghost girl isn't worth spending his time with as a partner!
*Once this dream is declared, Carrie seated behind Paulina doesn't say anything but finds a way to hold down her anger by glaring intensely over her shoulder while gripping a hand underneath her desk in an attempt to not burn it down with ectoplasmic energy as she was also currently writing down what her superhero name would be.*
Carrie Bodach?
Carrie Shadow?
Carrie Phantasm?
Carrie Wight?
Carrie Wraith…?
*Those names were all the female halfa could come up with and while she had them written down, she gained an idea to sew a couple of logos onto her and Danny's jumpsuits every time they transform instead of flying around Amity Park where their chests are completely bland. So, she circled around a roughly sketched out both her and Danny's initials, which were a "D" and a "C" until soon, Dash Baxter's voice cuts her out of her thoughts.*
Dash: Huh? Uh yeah, *Leans forward* you know what I'd wish for Extra arms to catch more footballs! *Flexes his arms and points to Danny who is seated next to him* And to wail on you, Fen-ton. *Stands up straight* But that doesn't technically count as a wish because I can do that anytime. *Curls his hands into fists to get ready to punch* Watch!
*He punches the male halfa who lets out an "Ow!" as his response, which made Carrie roll her eyes at the second dumbest wish she's heard so far until, both her and Danny's ghost senses were set off. Suddenly, a rumbling is heard as one of the monsters from the poster - Femalien - busts down through the ceiling feet-first and roaring which causes the entire class to shriek and run away from the creature.*
Femalien: *Hissing menacingly* Paulinaaa!
Dash: Uh, *Looks down at Paulina* did it just say your name?
Paulina: *Holds her fists in glee* Neat!
Mr. Lancer: War of the Worlds creature! *Holds up a fire extinguisher in both hands, ready to defend* Get away from my youthful charges!
*Femalien looks back unfazed as Mr. Lancer jumps up and clunks the fire extinguisher to her back, futilely doing nothing to her. He lands back down and looks at the fire extinguisher with uncertainty, realizing that hitting her wouldn't do as much damage to her as a regular human.*
Mr. Lancer: Well, *Smiles in the face of doom* I tried... *Drops his extinguisher and turns to run off* RUN!!
*And so they do while Mr. Lancer rushes to pull the fire alarm right beside the chalkboard in order to warn the school that there is a hideous, scary creature roaming around. As students all ran out into the hallway, screaming, Danny and Carrie hid behind a wall to change into their ghostly selves. Once they become ghosts, both halfas dash off intangibly into another hallway where they find Femalien chasing after Paulina. Watching Femalien hold her claw out, ready to grab the Latina, both Danny and Carrie determinedly take the creature from behind, causing her to shriek in surprise just for them to phase right into the ground.*
Paulina: *Runs urgingly towards the floor where they phased into with the paper in her hands* Ghost Boy, wait! *Smiles while holding it* I have an invite for you. But tell your loner partner that I'm sorry and the guest list is now full!
*Now, finding themselves phasing into an office below, Femalien invisibly falls through the ceiling and lands on her arm and stomach as she slides past a shelf of school supplies, knocking over a wastebasket with Danny and Carrie resuming color as they float in place. Femalien looks back at the halfas before whipping her tail out to smack both teens away, having them yell out just to slam against a wall, causing cracks to form.*
Carrie: *Realizes what they were going up against and gasps* No way! It-it's her! *Grabs Danny by the collar of his jumpsuit while fangirling* It's really her!
Danny: *Irked* I can see that! *Notices what Femalien's next attack is about to be and grabs her shoulders* Watch out!
*After warning his partner, Femalien thrusts her arm forward, shooting darts from her wrist-shooter, each taking off with a puff of red smoke. Easily, both halfas dodge them until one, unfortunately, flies in and tears Danny's sleeve (which managed to reach his skin) apart, causing him to yell in pain.*
Carrie: *Holds his arm* Danny! *Looks at Femalien and points a stern finger* Hey, Frogface! Ease up those darts on the best friend, would ya!?
*Not even bothering to say a word, Danny then blasts an ecto-ray at Femalien which knocks her down on her back.*
Danny: *Floats up while glaring at her* Alright, gruesome. Who sent you?
Femalien: *Hissing* Carrrieee…
*Once that name is said, Danny looks at the creature a bit astonished just for her to fade away, leaving Carrie confused as to why Femalien had spoken her name.*
*When lunchtime had arrived, Danny and Carrie were now seated at their regular picnic table where one halfa was explaining the battle that they had encountered between Femalien with Sam and Tucker while the other was currently bandaging his arm due to the small injury made by the creature herself.*
Tucker: It said 'Carrie'?
Danny: Actually, it was more like, *Lifts his hands and starts wiggling his fingers while talking in a spooky voice when mimicking Femalien* 'Carrrieee'… *Puts them down* but you get the point.
Carrie: Stop moving, would you? And seriously, *Narrows her eyes* you can't really blame me for this, dude.
Danny: Well, *Smiles while explaining this* it's got something to do with you, but don't worry. *He leans his palm downward and closes his eyes* We saved Paulina, so you don't have to apologize, Care.
Carrie: *Arches her eyebrows in annoyance* Good. 'Cause I'm not gonna. *Gestures to Danny's arm finally wrapped up* And look at the great job I did patching you up! Am I a great friend or- *Stops herself from speaking as she watches him fish through his backpack* Uh, what are you looking for?
Danny: Oh, you know, something… Uh, *Points* How much time does your ghost self have?
Carrie: *Checks her wristwatch* At least an hour before I'm fully charged up, why?
Danny: Listen, Care, for precaution, *Pulls out the Specter Deflector* you're just gonna have to wear this Spector Deflector, *Places it around her waist* and stay out of the way.
Carrie: *Offended* What!?
Sam: Danny, come on, I mean, is this really necessary?
Danny: *To Sam* It's also for her safety. *To Carrie* Care, something weird is going on and you're clearly the cause of it.
Carrie: Uhh, *Places her hands on her hips* what if there's suddenly a ghost attack? How exactly would I help defend the city?
Danny: I'll be fine on my own. *Lifts his arms and lowers them down* And besides, it's probably better for all of us if you just lay low.
Tucker: Yeah, Care. *Lifts his arms and lowers them down, mocking Danny* You should just lay low.
*Carrie only glares at Tucker until soon, hers and Danny's ghost senses are set off once more due to hearing Paulina scream somewhere from a distance.*
Danny: Paulina? *Eyes widen* Again? This is going to have to wait. *Stands up from his seat at the ready* I'm going ghost! *Transforms into Phantom and kneels in front of Carrie* Stay here.
Carrie: Oh, don't worry, I will, 'cause if I even shed a light of my ghostly side, I'd be toast. But other than that, I promise…
*She watches him take off into the air before angrily picking up her backpack by the top and jumping out from her seat, shouting after him.*
Carrie: The same way you kept your promise about going to the movies Friday! *Groans* Man, those tickets cost me so much! And now, they're a total waste!
*As she starts storming off, Sam gets out of her seat and reaches out for the female halfa.*
Sam: Care, wait, where are you going?
Carrie: After Danny! He practically said don't join in, but he didn't say anything about helping, now, did he? *Places her hands on her hips* Mind if I borrow your scooter?
Sam: *Goes through her backpack to find her helmet* Fine, but be careful! *Tosses the helmet to Carrie* That thing could shock you any second from any physical contact you make with a human!
*After advising her best friend this, both Sam and Tucker watch as Carrie catches the helmet and dash off in the direction she sees Danny flying off to on Sam's scooter, leaving the two teens alone at the picnic table with a large bag of potato chips in the middle.*
Tucker: Aw, well… *Happily takes the bag in his hands* More for me!
Sam: *Snatches them out of his hands* No, because you better share them with me!
Tucker: *Slumps his shoulders in sadness* Aw, dang it…
*For the next creature on Paulina's trail, there was Terminatra running after the Latina teen as she rode away on her moped, clearly in panic while holding a pink dress that was flowing within a plastic bag on a hanger. Terminatra then points a finger barrel at her prosthetic and her red eye glows to the target. Her finger fires a pink laser that instantly misses Paulina, but shoots a hole through the plastic wrap, completely missing the dress.*
Paulina: *Looks up at Terminatra* Hey, I just got this back from the cleaners!
*As Paulina drives into the road, Terminatra runs sideways on a building and jumps to crush her prey only to slam into the streets, which creates cracks and sends up lots of rumbles. Terminatra then stands and a cybernetic jetpack forms on her back as one big rocket blasts off, flying after the teen. In an empty park, Paulina finds herself skidding to a stop at the water fountain.*
Paulina: *Dramatically* This is like, the worst birthday week everrr…
*Just then, Danny intangibly floats above ground to meet with the Latina herself, owning a smile.*
Danny: *Becomes tangible* Well, let's see if we can't change that a little.
Paulina: *Cheerfully* And now it's not!
*She watches as Danny shoots an ecto-ray at Terminatra where the woman then stretches her arms and legs out to have a hole form in the middle of her abdomen that allows the ray to pass right through before morphing into a square net of metal her head on top. While this is happening, Paulina crouches over her bag that's on the side of her moped and figures this would be the perfect opportunity to give Danny something.*
Paulina: Wait, *Goes up to him and holds up a piece of paper* let me give you this. If I invite you, I can uninvite Danny Fenton and his loser friends! And maybe, during the party, it'll change your mind about the ghost girl you're always fighting with, some partner she is leaving you alone to fight your battles alone. I mean, where could she be? Fighting lonesome?
Danny: *Looks at her offensively* What?
*Suddenly, the Terminatra net snags Danny he lets out a grunt before he slams his back against the water fountain while finding himself trapped in the tangles of her net. Just then, the metal net glows white as it shocks Danny who screams in pain at the shockwaves being sent within his body until Terminatra grabs him by the shirt and slams him inside the water fountain where he turns back into Danny Fenton.
Now, feeling weakened by her attack, Terminatra stands up, and soon, her cybernetic arm morphs gelatinous, and with some glowing white light, it becomes a lot stronger with spikes on the wrist. Danny looks at her in a bit of fear where just when she could attack him with it, Carrie's voice is thankfully heard from a distance.*
Carrie: Leave him alone!
*When driving Sam's motor scooter, Carrie owns a determined look as she taps the button of the belt wrapped around her waist which soon surrounds her with ectoplasmic energy. Soon, she slams her scooter into Terminatra which sends the cybernetic woman into the water fountain. Once that's done, Danny looks as Terminatra stares at him while soaking wet.*
Terminatra: *Robotic-like voice* Carrrieee…
*And like that, Terminatra fades away, leaving red smoke left behind within the fountain. Carrie smiles at this defeat and watches as Danny stands up from the fountain next.*
Carrie: Man, I'd kill to have the chance to fight Terminatra and say, *Mimics robotic voice* 'I be back' 'cause, boy, that would've been some fight. And dude, I oughta be mad at you for placing this ecto-shocker on me for safety, but boy, *Holds her hand out* does it work like a charm!
Danny: Nice save! Although, to be fair, I probably wouldn't've needed it if it weren't for you in the first place.
*Suddenly, the moment Danny takes Carrie's hand with both of his climbing one foot out of the water, not only does the Spector Deflector shock the male halfa but the female halfa herself as it causes them to yell out in pain, which sends Danny back into the fountain.*
Carrie: *Winces* Oh, damnit, I should've listened to Sam! And now, i actually change my mind about the Spector Deflector, I should've taken this stupid thing off when I had the chance before joining in on the fight, *Ruffles through her pockets* thanks a lot, Fenton!
Danny: *Irked* Well, that's one thing you should learn by now, Care; never go with Sam's ideas! But of course, you always have to follow along with what she does or says, *Gestures to the water fountain* and look where I ended up!
Carrie: *Taken back by his words, she becomes offended* Excuse me, in case you've already forgotten, I saved your ass and you're giving me grief!
Danny: *Annoyed* Welcome to my world, remember? 'We should make the menu recyclo-vegetarian!' *Points upwards with more seriousness as if protesting* 'We should let the gorilla out!' *Smiles and shrugs* We should sell all of your dad's stuff at a garage sale!'
Carrie: *Scoffs in disbelief* You're seriously blaming me for the things I thought would do good in our environment?! And in case you haven't realized, Sam came up with those ideas, not me!
Danny: And yet you still go along with it. Face it, Care, you're a follower.
Carrie: *Offended* I'm not a follower!
Danny: *Stands up angrily* Yes, you are! In most of our battles, I'm always left to fight the ghosts off alone while you sit there like a pile of nothing, *Crosses his arms* leaving me to do all the work, and follow me around like a lost puppy, waiting for someone to rescue her!
Carrie: I can't believe you… You're seriously saying I choose to become human?
Danny: If the wristwatch fits…
Carrie: *Angrily* Oh, really, and uh, anything else you want to blame me for? World hunger? The ice age? Puberty?!
Danny: Carrie, both monsters knew your name. *Arches his eyebrows* Either there's another Carrie involved in ghost fighting or it's you.
Carrie: Uh, how about a simple 'thank you,' huh?! You think Paulina would've saved your ass back there?!
Danny: *Points a stern finger at her* She would if she wanted me to come to her party!
Carrie: Oh, here we go with Paulina and her stupid party! When are you ever gonna realize that she only likes you as Danny Phantom!?
Danny: Maybe she'll change her perspective when I show up to her party!
Carrie: *Gets on Sam's motor scooter* When are you gonna wake up and smell the coffee!?
Danny: Probably when you realize that us being half ghosts and getting kicked in every fight is all thanks to you!
Carrie: *Laughs shockingly* All thanks to me!? *Yells* YOU'RE THE JERKWAD THAT MADE ME LIKE THIS!
*After this is said by the blue-haired teen, Danny stays silent as Carrie starts up the scooter and revs the engine, then lets out a sigh, having to calm herself a bit before saying this.*
Carrie: *Growls* Danny, I swear… *Looks back at him angrily and half upset* There are days I wish I had never even met you, or even have these stupid ghost powers!
*Once she says this, Carrie speeds off, leaving Danny alone to look down with guilt. This was the first argument he and Carrie ever had, and now, he immediately regrets it ever happening.*
Danny: *Sighs and runs a hand down his face* Way to go, Fenton. You just ticked off one of the only three real friends you have. Especially since one has been fighting by your side throughout this entire journey…
*Danny slumps back and reaches for his pocket, then looks at a dripping wet piece of paper that reads the invite for Paulina's party. He now realizes that what Carrie had said was right. And so, the male halfa lets the paper fall out of his hands and watches it sink into the water fountain before calling out for his best friend.*
Danny: Care! Wait!
*Suddenly, his ghost sense is set off and behind him by the edge of the fountain, pink bubbles rise and pop from the water where soon, pink magical smoke rises even higher out of the fountain to form into Desiree who laughs evilly as another thankful wish has been made from the female halfa herself.*
Desiree: Finally!
Danny: Desiree, you look… *Goes ghost* different.
Desiree: More powerful? *Claps her hands together in glee* Why, yes! *Looks down to Danny* The more wishes I grant, the more powerful I get! Oh, and only days away from the meteor shower where everybody will be making wishes!
*Letting out another evil laugh, Desiree whips out her ghost tail and wraps it around Danny. She flings him away as he lets out a shout before landing on the ground away from the water fountain.*
Danny: *Gets up on his forearms and looks up at her* What do you want?
Desiree: You, out of the way. By Friday night. *Leans in toward Danny* But it's not about what I want… It's about what your little ghost friend wants. And she just wished she never met you!
Danny: *Tiredly* Oh… *Realizes what's about to happen* Oh, no!
Desiree: And so she has wished it… *Sweeps her hand* AND SO IT SHALL BEEEE!
*With one blast of her pink magical beam, it surrounds Danny and sends him through an empty void where he screams and braces himself on what's about to happen until… he can't anymore as now what's left in his mind is nothing but memory blank of the girl who he not only grew a friendship with but partnership...*
*And not even realizing what she had done, the next morning, Carrie Mayth finds herself tossing and twisting in her bed thinking she was having a "dream" about Desiree erasing her from her best friend's memories.*
Carrie: Danny! *Wakes up shouting and reaching out as if he were right in front of her* WAIT!
*She breathes heavily as she finds herself safely sitting up on her bed with nothing happening around her.*
Carrie: Oh, *Wipes her forehead in relief* thank goodness it was only a dream…
*Soon, a knock on her door is made and a voice is heard on the other side.*
Joyce: Care? *Opens the door and peeks her head out* Is everything alright? I heard you shouting.
Carrie: I'm fine, Mom… *Tugs on her loose hair anxiously* Just a bad dream, no worries…
Joyce: *Smiles softly* As long as everything's good in your case… Now, uh, don't you know that you're gonna be late for school?
Carrie: *Looks to find the time reading in her alarm clock: 7:30 A.M.* Oh, shoot! *Jumps out of her bed and rampages through her closet* I-I was supposed to meet Danny, Sam, and Tucker by the flagpole!
Joyce: *Confused* Care…
Carrie: *Quickly manages to braid her hair in their regular pigtails* Oh, man, and I've gotta apologize to Danny! Even though he owes me one big time; we're partners, and partners are all about forgiving even if one of them could end up being an extreme jackass-!
Joyce: *Raises her voice* Carrie!
Carrie: *Snaps out of her thoughts and gazes at her mother* Yeah, Mom?
Joyce: Who exactly are Danny, Sam, and Tucker? *Raises one eyebrow* And why does this 'Danny' owe you an apology?
Carrie: *Laughs from these questions and eases up on the laughter* Oh, that's a great one, Mom! *Sighs* Pretend that you don't know who they are…
Joyce: Because I don't… *Crosses her arms* Did you finally make some friends and not tell me about them?
Carrie: *Becomes concerned* Uh, hello? Danny, Sam, and Tucker? They've been my best friends since elementary? You know them, too…
Joyce: No… I'm sorry, but I've never even seen or heard about them. *Places a hand on her forehead* Oh, please don't tell me you aren't going through having imaginary friends again, are you? Thought therapy cleared up this issue, Care…
Carrie: *Scoffs* No, and come on, I've said goodbye to Bingo a long time ago, that's part of the past! *Checks her wristwatch and sees the time is nearly 7:40 A.M.* Uh, no time to discuss pretending who my real best friends are, Mom, I've gotta get to school!
Joyce: *Watches Carrie rush out of her room and calls out for her by the stairs* Make sure to grab something on the way before you leave, sweetie! *Mutters to herself while leaving her daughter's room* 'Real friends?'
*Now, when Carrie leaves her house with a green apple in her hands, the blue-haired teen rushes to the side and checks to make sure no one nearby is watching her this…*
Carrie: Okay… *Inhales and exhales a breath* I'm going ghost!
*Rising her hands in the air and waiting for the transformation to surround her, she feels that nothing has happened. Opening one eye, Carrie looks around to find herself not a ghost, and sighs.*
Carrie: I'm going ghost!
*Once again, nothing happens…*
Carrie: *Looks at her hands* Well, that's never happened before…
*She then checks her wristwatch to find it only showing the number being 0%.*
Carrie: Weird. But I never used my ghost powers that much yesterday, *Puts a finger on her chin* did I?… *Remembers that she will be late for school* No time for this, *Prepares to run* I've gotta get to school, so guess I'll have to run like a normal person!
*And there she goes, dashing down the sidewalk of her neighborhood without a care in the world as she made her way down the block and knowingly ran in her direction towards the area where Casper High School was.*
*Now in Casper High, Carrie manages to catch her breath before she finds Danny, Sam, and Tucker chatting by the lockers in the hallway. She found it odd how her best friends weren't standing by the flagpole for their usual meetup, but then again, she had an argument with Danny, so maybe it occurred that Sam and Tucker had gone inside with him to at least talk him into apologizing.*
Carrie: *Sighs and talks to herself* Friends will be jerks, but that's what friends are nowadays, and it's okay to forgive them for it even though they were totally in the wrong… *Lets out a sharp breath* But… It's only one argument, so, what the hell? Friends will be good jerks in best case scenarios…
*However, it appears that the trio didn't even notice that the blue-haired teen was strolling over to them.*
Danny: So, what do you want to do tomorrow?
Tucker: I don't know. *Looks at his PDA as it reads one of the days, months, and years which all owned: "NOTHING" written underneath it* According to my PDA, we're free every night through college…
Sam: Huh, that's weird, you sure it doesn't say anything about the movie on Friday night? *Points* You did say we could see it months after the trailer came out…
Tucker: Sam, for the last time, nobody wants to go and see a movie with three evil female characters murderers to go on a killing spree… It's umbilical if you ask me.
*Soon, their attention is turned to Carrie who stands beside them owning a small smile.*
Carrie: *Gives a small wave* Hey, guys…
Danny: *Confused* Uh, do I know you?
Sam: *Also confused* Actually, do any of us know you?
Carrie: *Rolls her eyes* Oh, haha… Very cute, guys. I said I'd wished we never met, and now you guys are even pretending we didn't meet. *Scoffs and crosses her arms* Hilarious prank if you ask me.
Danny: *Genuinely confused* No, seriously, do I know you?
Tucker: *Leans forward to her* And more importantly, would you like to know me?
*Carrie looks surprised as Tucker starts spraying breath mint into his mouth before standing up to address himself.*
Tucker: I'm Tucker. Tucker Foley… *Points to himself with his thumb* That's TF. As in 'Too Fine.'
*The blue-haired teen becomes even more surprised and disturbed by the thought of ever having Tucker or Danny filtering with her (even if it comes off smooth in someone's case).*
Carrie: *Curls her hands against her chest in disbelief* Oh, gross… T-There's no way... Are you hitting on me, Foley?
Tucker: Well, seeing as you've already gotten used to my last name, *Sprays more breath mint in his mouth and points to her with both fingers* why do ya say, cutie?
*Sam notices how Carrie feels at this moment and goes to stand between her and Tucker.*
Sam: Tucker, leave her alone. *Puts her hands on her hips* And besides, haven't you scared enough girls with that stupid breath mint and catchphrase already?
Tucker: *Smirks at Sam* Not all of them... *Points towards Carrie* If she was scared, she would've run away, *Glances back at Danny* am I right, dude?
Danny: *Blushes a bit, and rubs the back of his neck nervously* W-Well, uh…
*However, just when the raven-haired teen could answer, a shout from Mikey the nerd is heard as he and three other nerds were currently being shoved into one locker by Casper High's jocks/bullies, Dash Baxter and Kwan themselves.*
Mikey: *Angrily points* I wish somebody would show you what this feels like!
*Smugging happily at this sight of how many nerds could fit in a single locker, both boys don't know what's coming to them as up in an air vent, pink magical smoke wafts out of it, and soon, it materializes into Desiree with her arms raised ready to grant a newly wish.*
Desiree: So you have wished it… So, *Grows bored and rushes through her line* you know the rest.
*With one blast of her magical beam, Desiree turns one out of the four nerds into a monster that growls and stands from his seat which causes both Dash and Kwan to shout in fear by this sudden change. Feeling good about herself, Desiree then flies towards Danny and Tucker whereas the techno-geek lets out a shout and runs, leaving Danny to be faced with the green-skinned ghost himself as she floats above him.*
Desiree: *Smirks with a perk* Boo!
Danny: *Becomes terrified and covers his head for impact* Ghost!
*Desiree floats away down the hall with a proud look on her face.*
Desiree: No memory, no powers… Perfect.
Carrie: *Stands beside Danny* Desiree, the Wishing Ghost. *Looks at him* Danny, we've gotta go after her!
Danny: *Is still slightly scared yet confused* What?
Carrie: *Looks around to find nobody else around the hall and closes her eyes* I'm going ghost!
*Unfortunately, nothing happens. Earlier when Carrie tried, it was apparently due to thinking that her ghost powers had run out of juice due to the results shown on her wristwatch, however, looking at the watch itself as it now looks like a regular watch, Carrie felt nothing change within her body; which could only mean one thing…*
Carrie: Oh, no… *Looks at her hands in panic* No, no, no!
Danny: *Even more confused* Uhh, are you okay?
Carrie: If I can't do something at this moment, *Glances at Danny* then you have to. *Grabs his shoulders* Why aren't you going ghost, Fenton!?
Danny: *Pushes her away* Look, kid, I don't know who you are or what you're talking about. *Shrugs* All I know is, *Runs away* I am outta here!
Carrie: *Reaches out for him* Danny! Come back! *Sighs and looks around to make sure nobody is nearby she raises her arms* I'm going ghost!
*But of course, nothing happens.*
Carrie: *Growls* What is wrong with me!? Why can't I go ghost?!
*Suddenly, Desiree phases out of nowhere and floats right in front of the blue-haired teen's face.*
Desiree: You wished to not be part ghost, young one, and so I've granted it.
Carrie: *Gets all up in her face* You won't get away with this, genie!
Desiree: Oh, but my dear girl, I already did. Enjoy your normal life while it lasts…
*The genie ghost then lets out an evil laugh before having a pink magic circle around her and soon disappears out of thin air whereas Mikey, the giant green monster finished stuffing a terrified Dash and Kwan in the locker the two jocks have formerly done to him and a bunch of other nerds, which leave them in a merciful manner by the sight of their victim becoming a scary looking creature.*
Dash: We're sorry! *On the verge of tears* We're sorry!
*Once that meaningful apology is given, the dark aura that surrounds the world becomes normal just for Mikey to do the same as well where he shrinks back to normal and is quickly given the opportunity to slam the locker on Dash and Kwan in defense.*
Mikey: *Raising his arms in a cheer* I rock!
*Carrie watches Mikey run away before she carefully looks into Danny's locker she owns a photo taped in the middle of the inside of him, Tucker, and Sam standing with each other; both boys were on each side of Sam, leaving one large gap between her and Danny.*
Carrie: Oh, no… *Takes the picture out and grabs her photo album out of her backpack* It all makes sense now, last night I wished Danny had never met me or wished that I became part ghost… *Holds up her photo album to compare* And Desiree must've made it so we not only never meet, but made me without ghost powers! And that also means that he never got his ghost powers either… *Calls out after Danny* Danny! Wait! *Runs to catch up to him* You gotta listen to me!
*Once school has finished, Danny is now walking home whereas Carrie manages to catch up with him so she follows him back to his house.*
Carrie: Come on, Danny, why won't you believe me?
Danny: Believe what? That I had super powers? *Turns to Carrie and points to her* And that you had super powers? You and I are best friends and become partners who fight with those super powers even though I never met you? And Sam and Tucker are the only ones that know it?
*When they reach Fenton Works, Carrie watches as Danny walks up the steps of his porch while she talks.*
Carrie: Yes, because they're my best friends, too! And thanks to Desiree, she's erased me completely from their minds, shouldn't that be crystal clear to you!?
*Unfortunately, not bothering to reply, Danny enters his home and slams the door shut, leaving the blue-haired teen outside.*
Carrie: *Turns in an urging panicking matter* I-I've gotta do something…
*From across the street within the neighborhood, Sam Manson notices Carrie standing outside of Danny's house, talking to herself.*
Sam: Boy, if she followed him back to his place, then surely it could be true… could it? *Sighs and begins walking over towards her* Well, let's see… *Waves to Carrie from across the street, calling her out* Uh, hello? Could I talk to you for a second?
Carrie: *Finds Sam approaching her* Sam… Maybe she'll believe me. *Waves* Uh, hi, I'm Carrie-
Sam: *Cuts her off* I know who you are.
Carrie: *Shocked* You-you do?
Sam: Yep. You're the girl who is in our English class and you sit behind Danny in English class where you're always gawking at him whenever Lancer's lessons get a little boring at the times because you've got a huge crush on him.
Carrie: *Feels taken back by this and scoffs* I-I don't not!
Sam: *Raises an eyebrow* Oh, really? *Smirks* Then, what are you doing standing outside his place?
Carrie: *Panicking* I'm here because I need him to believe me! Not only do I need him to believe we're best friends, but I also need his help to defeat an evil genie ghost that made him, you, and Tucker forget that I was best friends with all of you and that I and Danny had ghost powers because that's what friends are for and I can't really do this type of stuff alone, okay!?
Sam: *Blinks in shock* Okayy, and, uh… what kind of help would you need for him to believe you, exactly?
Carrie: I've gotta get him to listen to me. *Puts a finger on her chin* But how could I get through the thick head of a fourteen-year-old boy?
Sam: *Snickers* Oh, trust me, I know just the thing. Come on, *Places an arm around her shoulder* let's head to my place, maybe it'll give you time to adjust to the strange life you're about to temporarily live in without your emo personality.
Carrie: *Realizes what she's getting at and sighs* Oh, man...
*And what Sam had in mind was something Carrie had slightly expected where later that day, in the pharmacy, Danny and Tucker were currently seated at their table, enjoying their strawberry ice cream cones while they waited for the third person, who is a part of their friend group, to arrive. However, both boys didn't know that a fourth figure would be joining them today, and that fourth figure would be the person Danny and Tucker had encountered earlier; especially Danny himself.*
Sam: *Arrives at their table with a tofu cone in her hand* Hey, guys, got room for two more?
Danny: Sure, but who's the other seat for?
Carrie: *Watching from behind a wall, she sighs* Here goes nothing… *Walks towards them and speaks in a half-hearted tone* Hi…
*Glancing up at her, Danny and Tucker were shocked to find the same girl who owned a dark and gloomy-ish look earlier wearing a hot pink tank top with words written: "STAY GIRLY", a white skirt that had polka dots all around it, white pantihose, and pink and white flats. For her face, Carrie is decorated in makeup made by the company Sam's mom owns known as "Stay Perky" by wearing pink eyeshadow and pink lipstick. Topping off the look, instead of having her hair tied in its regular braided pigtails, she has it tied in a high ponytail with a white bow as the hair tie.*
Carrie: I hope you guys don't mind me joining you…
*Looking flabbergasted at the newly improved Carrie Mayth, Danny didn't hesitate before throwing his ice cream away and shoving Tucker out of his seat for her to sit as the techno-geek let out a yell, leaving Sam to help him up, and guided him to a different table for them to talk. However, at another table nearby, Paulina Sanchez and Star were watching this scene happen while enjoying their cup of sodas and one couldn't help but leave a comment.*
Paulina: She surrounded her individuality for a boy! *Takes her hand on her soda and claps them in glee along with Star* I'm so proud of her!
Carrie: *Shudders and tugs on her ponytail while muttering this* Paulina being nice and proud of me suddenly is my second worst nightmare…
Danny: *Raises an eyebrow in confusion* I'm sorry?
Carrie: Uh, nothing, nothing… *Sits beside him and fishes through her backpack without noticing him dreamily gazing at her* Listen, I'm gonna show you a photo I have of the four of us from eighth grade.
*She takes out a couple of photos and places them on the table in front of him where one owns all four friends while the other owns only three, leaving a gap between him and Sam.*
Carrie: *Points to the photo containing all four of them* This is the same one you have in your locker… *Points to the other one with the trio* And this one has been changed. *Looks at him* Notice anything different between them?
Danny: Yeah. You broke into my locker and doctored an old photo of me. *Dreamily lifts his hand up to rest his chin on it* You must really like me. *Eyes widen at another thought in mind* Or you're nuts… *Removes his hand and looks forward* You're not nuts, are you? I surely hope you aren't…
*Carrie lets out a groan, then grabs Danny by the shoulder, and places him in her seat for him to take a closer look at the photo album she had put out on the table next.*
Carrie: Focus, would you!?
*And so he does, in his eyes, Danny looks at a photo of him and Carrie standing beside each other taking a selfie, not even realizing that the blue-haired girl had held two fingers behind his head like bunny ears. The next photo has him and her laughing about something that was sneakily taken by Sam Manson herself, but what immediately catches his blue orbs is that in Carrie's photo album, there is a photo of them standing with Sam and Tucker in front of the ghost portal that lives within his parents' laboratory of his home.*
Danny: Wait a minute… That's my parent's lab!
*He picks up the album and begins flipping through pages of photos that were mostly taken by Sam as they had memories from the first few weeks he and Carrie were gifted their ghost powers. And it all began when Sam took a photo of Danny standing by the non-working ghost portal, holding his jumpsuit, and insisted that he should take a look inside the portal to the point Carrie had followed along with…*
Danny: *Looks at Carrie* Who are you…?
Carrie: *Puts her hands on his shoulders* I'm Carrie Mayth… Your best friend and your partner. *Looks down at the photo which urges him to do the same* A few months ago, Sam convinced you to go into this and I was so intrigued that I decided to go with you. *Points to a photo of him and her leaning against each other with their arms crossed while in ghost form* And once we went in there, there was an accident, and we got-
Danny: *Cuts her off, finishing* Super powers?
Carrie: *Turns to face him* Actually, we were given ghost powers. But through that journey of us being incredibly awesome halfas-
Danny: *Cuts her off again* Uh, sorry, but question: what's a 'halfa?'
Carrie: Half-ghost, half-human. Except we're not the only hybrids in the world…
Danny: *A bit intrigued* There's others out there who are like us?
Carrie: Uhh, that's a story for another time, but the term 'Halfa' was explained to us by a nerdy ghost before he sent you back into his ghost world back in the 1950s as him while he was you in the modern world, leaving you to suffer so much bullying from other jocks because he thought you were being a bully, too.
Danny: *Shudders* I don't think I'd imagine being in a colorless world…
Carrie: You can't, because you don't remember, but it happened. And the reason everything is all a big memory blank to you is because of a fight we had and I wished we never met, or me having ghost powers because that ghost in the school made it happen!
*She then fishes through her backpack to pull out the Specter Deflector and show it to him.*
Carrie: I was wearing this, and I think this is why Desiree's powers didn't affect me, which I'm glad it didn't… But now, you don't have your powers anymore!
*Suddenly, the world around them becomes dark, and a loud gruesome, demonic voice is heard from the outside of the pharmacy.*
(?): *Hissing* PAULINAAAA!
*From the outside, green metal claws dig into a wall and see a circle around it before busting it down revealing the third female character of Trinity of Doom: Nightmerica. Screams were heard throughout the pharmacy and everyone instantly got up to run away by the terrifying sight of Nightmerica.*
Danny: *Becomes scared* Uhh, who is that!?
Carrie: *Sighs and runs a hand down her face* The wish I accidentally made before all this apparently… *Looks at him* Danny, listen, you gotta-
*When the blue-haired girl glances back at him, she finds him nervously looking around, perspiring a little in fear. So she figures that this is all on her to handle, even without ghost powers.*
Carrie: You know what, screw this, *Looks determined* I gotta!
*While Nightmerica terrorizes teens within the pharmacy, the woman's main priority is destroying Paulina Sanchez; she spots the Latina attempting to flee out from the exit only to have the door unable to budge. Carrie then places the Specter Deflector around her waist where the buckle glows with green energy, then snatches Tucker's beret off his head, grabs a knife, and starts cutting it to resemble eyes for her to see before placing it over her head.*
Sam: *Realizes who's standing in front of them and gasps while putting her hands on her cheeks in disbelief* Oh, my gosh… It-it's Nightmerica! So everything was based on a true story from Nightmare on Fear Street!?
Carrie: *Chuckles* Not exactly, Manson…
*Once that's settled, Carrie then fishes through her backpack to pull out a Fenton invention and whips it out only to hear a teen cry out "Ow!" in pain due to the girl accidentally hitting him with it.*
Carrie: *Turns back to face him* Sorry, I'm sort of new at this!
*The moment she whips it out towards Nightmerica, it is revealed to be the Jack-O-Ninetails, with Jack Fenton's head in the center and ten tails with green claws reaching out and sparking with electricity. Before Nightmerica has the chance to destroy Paulina who stood with Star against the wall in fear, the woman is trapped as the tails wrap around her entire body and she is dragged over to Carrie while grunting against the restraints, leaving Danny, Sam, and Tucker shocked by this sight.*
Danny: *Smiling and pointing* That might just be the coolest girl on the planet.
Tucker: Or she's nuts. *Unfazed* Really, really nuts…
Sam: *Elbows Tucker's arm* Or she might be telling the truth. We've gotta help her!
Tucker: Uh, how exactly?
*Without bothering to give a reply, Sam watches as Nightmerica manages to break free from the Fenton invention and rushes to Carrie's backpack.*
Sam: *Holds out the Fenton Thermos and examines it* Seeing as it's the only weird-looking gadget you've got here, *Prepares to toss it* I'm guessing you need it!
*Sam tosses the cylinder weapon at Carrie to which she successfully catches it.*
Carrie: *Gives her a thumbs up* Thanks, I owe you one!
*Soon, a beam of blue energy is shot out of the thermos which captures Nightmerica as the gruesome woman shouts before she's officially gone and out of people's sight. After Nightmerica was done and over with, those who were still in the pharmacy stood around and clapped for their sudden hero stepping in and taking the evil creature out, leaving Paulina and Star to walk up to her.*
Paulina: You-you risked your life to save me… *Claps her hands in glee* Thank you! I wonder, is there a way to make it up to you?
Carrie: *Inhales a sharp breath and gales at her* You can start by never speaking to me…
Paulina: She's a hero and she's funny! *Giggles and looks at Star* I like her already! *To Carrie* Here, to really make it up to you, *Walks over to her backpack to grab a piece of paper* my quinceañera is on Friday, *Walks back to Carrie and holds the paper out to her* and I'd be really happy if you'd come!
Carrie: *Scoffs lightly* You want me at your party?
Paulina: Of course… Oh, and could you maybe show up in your mask? That way, people would recognize you as the person that saved my life!
Carrie: *Hesitates before grabbing the paper and sighs* We'll see…
*After this is offered, all Paulina responds with is an innocent smile before she and Star walk away, leaving Carrie to drop the paper in a nearby trash can.*
Carrie: *Deadpanned* Or maybe we won't.
*Finally, this allows Danny, Sam, and Tucker to crowd by her after witnessing the fight she had battled between a fictional horror character.*
Danny: That happens a lot?
Carrie: More than you remember, because I've done it many times, dude.
Danny: Okay, you've got my attention.
Sam: *Smirks and crosses her arms* And mine.
*The duo looks back at Tucker as the techno-geek realizes he was left to speak his opinion.*
Tucker: Sure, you have mine, too.
Carrie: *Curls her hand into a fist happily* Finally! *Rips off the girly outfit to reveal her punk/emo style instead and grabs Danny's wrist* Come on, we've got a lot of work to do!
*Now, finding themselves down in the basement/laboratory of Fenton Works, Tucker is keeping a lookout for Danny's parents in case they show up by the stairs while Sam helps Carrie with the gauges by holding the photo for the blue-haired teen to make sure that they are coordinated in the right direction like the accident him and she had suffered the first time.*
Danny: *Looks up at the portal* Uh, how's it going over there?
Sam: Pretty good. *Looks at Carrie and whispers* Is it going pretty good?
Carrie: Yes. So far, I'm guessing if we set everything the way it was when it happened, it'll happen again. *Mumbles* Hopefully…
*After finishing setting the gauge dial to their time positions, Sam looks at Danny with an uncertain expression on her face.*
Sam: Uh, *Glances back at Carrie* not that I don't trust you or anything, but… *To Danny* Are you sure about this, Danny?
Danny: No. But you said those monsters - ghosts! Those ghosts were attacking our school… Besides, *Looks at the inside of the portal and smiles with curiosity* I always wanted to go in here. Who knows what kind of awesome, super-cool things exist on the other side of that portal?
Carrie: *Holds two jumpsuits in her hands* Ohh, trust me, you don't wanna know…
*She tosses Danny his jumpsuit before placing the other one on herself. After she zipped hers up, the blue-haired teen watched as Danny zipped him up next to reveal his father's face right on his chest.*
Carrie: Hang on… *Ruffles through her backpack* I've got just the thing to add the finishing touches to our superhero costumes.
*While Carrie ruffles through her backpack, something occurs to Tucker's mind as he looks at Sam and then at the two teens wearing jumpsuits.*
Tucker: Wait, so all this happened just because Sam, *Gestures to the gothic figure beside him* forced you guys to go inside the portal?
Sam: *Looks at him offensively* What are you talking about? From what Carrie said, apparently, I didn't force them, I simply told Danny that they should check it out, *Points to Carrie* and she thought it would be cool to check it out as well!
Tucker: Still, everything Carrie told us after the accident was majorly your fault for it ever happening since they become, *Finger quotes* 'The Halfas.'
Sam: *Irked* You seriously wanna start something with me right now?
Carrie: *Stops them from continuing* Guys! We can discuss whose fault it is later, but right now, the fate of the world could be at stake if me and Danny don't become ghosts soon!
*She turns to Danny and removes the Jack Fenton sticker from his chest and replaces it with his initial - "D" - she had effortlessly doodled in class.*
Danny: *Looks down at it* Uh, *Looks up at her* what is that?
Carrie: *Replaces her Jack Fenton sticker with the letter "C" on her own chest* We wouldn't want to go flying around Amity Park with your dad's face permanently fused with our costumes, now, wouldn't we? *Takes a deep breath and lets it out* Just trust me on this, okay?
Danny: *Mumbles* Well, *Holds out his arm* let's hope I can after this…
*Carrie hesitates with her hand touching his arm for a moment, but this needs to happen quickly. So, she takes a deep breath and lets it out before locking her arm with his, and soon, the duo steps into the empty portal which has their eyesight completely obscured by the darkness until Danny's hand reaches out to touch the green button on the console.
Suddenly, both teens are screaming in pain as they are shocked by electricity surrounding their molecules as they become rearranged with different materials running through their veins until finally, they find themselves weakened as their DNAs completely change from the first time this had happened; meaning, it had worked…*
Carrie: *Grunts in pain as she looks at her hands turning intangible and smiles weakly by this moment* It-it worked…
*However, in Danny's point of view, the new and improved teen had looked at himself while he and Carrie were surrounded by green ectoplasmic energy. He looked at his hands as the gloves flicked for a full, long second to show his skeleton beneath it, then faded back to solid gloves.*
Danny: *Weakly looks at Carrie* What… what are we…?
Carrie: *Falls to her knees and grunts weakly* We're Amity Park's only superheroes…
*Crawling her way out of the portal, Sam gasps and rushes to it to help Carrie out first before she goes and helps Danny next.*
Sam: *Holds Danny up by his forearms concernedly* Danny, are you-?
*Danny says nothing but grunts and effortlessly turns intangible which results in the gothic teen releasing him as smoke from the intangibility rubs off her.*
Sam: Whoa, you're a ghost!
Carrie: *Stands up happily* Again! *Looks down at herself and floats in the air* Whoo-hoo! I'm a ghost again, too! Watch out Amity Park, because Carrie Wraith the friendly superhero ghost is back and better than ever!
Tucker: 'Carrie Wraith?'
Carrie: *Smiles proudly* I'd figured to at least try out one of my superhero identities from the list instead of going by the ones Amity Park had apparently nicknamed us. And besides, it has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
Sam: Well, if you ask me, it actually sounds unique.
Carrie: But, never mind about that because, not only am I back, *Gestures to Danny* but so is Danny Phantom himself!
Danny: 'Danny Phantom?' Wouldn't that make it obvious if I'm gonna be keeping my superhero identity a secret?
Carrie: That's what I said when we had the school dance after fighting a she-dragon…
Danny: Wait, we fought a dragon!?
Carrie: We've fought more than just a dragon, but the good thing is that now, we're ghosts again!
Danny: We're ghosts… *Becomes amazed* Cool! *Instantly becomes confused and looks at her* This is cool, right?
Carrie: *Puts a hand on his emblem initial within his chest with pleasure* Oh, not only is it cool, it's-
*Just when she could finish that sentence, the voice of Danny's father, Jack Fenton is heard from the top of upstairs.*
Jack: What's going on down there?
Carrie: Oh, man, your dad! W-We gotta change back to normal!
*Suddenly, she reverts to her human self which was her regular blue hair and lime green eyes instead of the new snowy white hair and bright blue eyes as her wristwatch suddenly begins to beep which shows the results of the percentage being zero.*
Carrie: Huh, *Smiles* that was great timing… *To Danny in a panicking tone* Uh, dude, now it's your turn, change back to normal!
Danny: Change back? *Arches his eyebrows* How?
Carrie: Focus! And quick before your old man gets down here and annihilates you in a split second! Honestly, you should know how he feels if he even becomes inches of a ghost!
Danny: Uh, *Looks around in hoping for a place to hide but gets an idea* uh, I've got an idea, but, *Grabs her forearms* you've gotta trust me…
Carrie: Of course I trust you, but what exactly is it that you have in mind-?
*Before she can finish asking this question, Danny doesn't hesitate when he suddenly pulls her by the waist and kisses her. Carrie couldn't believe what was happening right before her eyes and brain, but seeing as she couldn't think right, the blue-haired returned the kiss and closed her eyes dreamily, which had Sam and Tucker in an unspeakable matter by this moment just for Jack Fenton to rush downstairs and becomes shocked to find his son kissing a "stranger" whom he's never "met" in front of the ghost portal where the ectoplasm has hearts surrounding them, forming a romantic moment.*
Danny: *Pulls away smiling* I call that a 'fake-out make-out.'
Carrie: *Looks at him dreamily* Yeah, I know, *Giggles* I was the one who invented it…
Jack: *Walks towards them* You're in a lot of trouble, mister! *To Carrie* And who the heck are you?
Carrie: I'm, erm, uh, Paulina, Mr. Fenton, sir?
Jack: Then Danny Fenton is never, ever allowed to see you, Paulina.
Danny: *Shocked* 'Never?!'
Jack: *Sternly looks at him* You know the rules, son; No Unauthorized Personnel in The Lab!
*Feeling an unbelievable amount of awkwardness, Carrie says nothing but smiles innocently.*
*The next day in Casper High, both halfas are seated in Astronomy class taught by their dear teacher, Mr. Lancer until they decide to discuss the next part of the plan. However, due to Danny just having to get his ghost powers back, the raven-haired teen had been struggling to control it seeing as it was his first day as a halfa.*
Danny: So, *Leans a hand on her chair* now what?
Carrie: Even though I got my ghost powers back, I'm sort of making this up as it goes. *Growls quietly and whispers harshly* Ugh, when will we ever run in Desiree again!?
*Not even realizing it, Danny's entire arm had become intangible and soon, he found himself falling out of his chair and onto the ground students couldn't help but laugh at this moment while others (that being Mr. Lancer) found it ambitious.*
Mr. Lancer: Mr. Fenton, *Walks towards Danny and looks down at him* I know astronomy can be dull, but I'd appreciate it if you'd not take a NAP IN MY CLASS! *Calmly points a finger while glancing around his other students* And remember the meteor shower tonight. Don't forget to watch. *Walks away* And wear a helmet… *Smiles* It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
*The second Mr. Lancer approaches his desk, the bell rings, and immediately all the students get out of their seats and rush out of the classroom, leaving a few to slowly make their way out of it themselves after the trio: Star, Paulina, and Dash.*
Dash: *To Paulina* What are you gonna wish for?
Paulina: I don't know. *Looks back to him* But I'm sure with everybody wishing at the same time, *Gleefully lifts a hand* somebody will give me an idea, but if I were to wish for one thing, I'd wish for the mysterious masked girl to come to my quinceañera!
Carrie: *Glares at Paulina who walks past her and Danny until she realizes what the problem is* Oh, *Facepalms herself* damnit! How could I be so stupid?!
Danny: Uh, what do you mean?
Carrie: That's what Desiree wants, she's gonna use the meteor to grant everyone's wishes at the same time, and who knows what kind of terror she could bring on us! *Tugs on her pigtails* This is bad…
*However, not even realizing what's happening with Danny unable to control his powers, he finds himself intangibles and slowly sinks into the ground.*
Danny: And this is worse… *Reaches his hands out* Help!
Carrie: *Sighs* Hold on… *Becomes intangible and phases through the ground to closely meet him face-to-face* Uh, *Blushes and tugs on her pigtails with a giggle* hi…
Danny: *Dreamily gazes at her while blushing as well* Hi… *Looks around to find piles of meat surrounding them* Uhh, why is all this meat down here?
Carrie: *Chuckles* That's a long story...
*Tonight's the night of the meteor shower, and not only was this the big event, but it was also Paulina Sanchez's birthday - quinceñera - finally beginning at the country club.*
Paulina: Let's get this party started!
*Screams erupted by the crowd as soon, as the deejay began playing music through the speakers. Watching this party happening from afar, Carrie is seated on top of a hill with Sam as both girls are currently spectating what's happening at the party with binoculars.*
Sam: Wow… *Removes her binoculars* She almost seems human… *Sits up straight and looks at Carrie in boredom* I'm going to have to forget that.
Carrie: Ditto… *Side eyes to find a shooting star streaming over them* A falling star! *Looks over her shoulder* Alright, Danny, *Stands up* let's do this! And remember, guys; *Looks at Sam and Tucker* nobody make a wish! *Points a stern finger at Tucker* I'm looking at you, Foley.
Tucker: Hey!
Carrie: *Takes a deep breath and lets it out* I'm going ghost!
*Raising her arms in the air, Carrie feels her ghostly side take over and soon, she owns the same glowing blue eyes she oh-so loves whenever she goes ghost.*
Carrie: *Sighs and looks at her hands clenched into fists* It feels good to be back. *To Danny* Your turn, Danny.
Danny: Okay… I'm going to become… *Points into the sky* ghostly!
Sam: Uh, it's 'going ghost', didn't you hear her say it?
Danny: *Holds up a hand in disagreement* Nah.
*Closing his eyes shut, Danny strains as he begins to fulfill the transformation. And once the ghost within him arrived, he didn't expect his legs to form into his ghostly tail.*
Danny: Where'd my legs go!?
*He stretches out his legs so they come back. Danny slumps his shoulders and breathes a sigh of relief until his arms float up to his sides becoming two ghostly tails. He leans back in the air, screaming in distress at this.*
Danny: Where are my arms!?
Carrie: *Floats toward him and grabs his shoulders* Calm down! It's part of our spirituality, just do what you did with your legs.
*Without hesitation, Danny stretches his ghostly arms out and they instantly return to normal. Meanwhile, down at the country club, the crowd is currently enjoying the party until Paulina calls out for them.*
Paulina: Hey, everybody! *Points to the sky* Falling stars! *Closes her eyes and clenches her fists gleefully* Close your eyes and make a wish!
*And so they do, however, back on the hill, Tucker is sitting on the field with his eyes closed and holding his fists tightly.*
Tucker: I wish I had one of those sweet monster trucks.
Sam: *Looks back at Tucker with a scold* Do you pay attention? To anything? At all? Ever? What did Carrie just say?
Carrie: *Irked* Should've gotten used to it by now…
*Suddenly, Desiree appears right behind them and she holds out her hand which glows its causal magical pink to soon have the same yellow monster truck Danny and Tucker were admiring appear right beside the group.*
Tucker: *Walks over to it with a smile* This doesn't seem very monstrous…
*Right on cue, the truck indeed has become the monster as it suddenly lifts the top up and roars, causing Tucker to let out a scream and run away as Desiree's giant figure floats in front of Danny, Sam, and Carrie.*
Desiree: Keep wishing, fool. *Grows even bigger* KEEP WISHING!
Danny: *Looks back at Carrie unsure of what to do* What do I do? What do I do?!
Carrie: We have to fight her, and then, *Holds up the Fenton Thermos and tosses it to him* we have to use this!
Danny: *Catches it* For what? Soup?
Carrie: No! *Groans in irritation* Did you not pay attention to me catching Nightmerica in that thing!?
Danny: *Shrugs* Sorry! I'm not used to this like you are!
Carrie: Well, you will be soon. So, until then, let's stop worrying, *Gets in a fighting stance* and place this genie back in her bottle!
*Danny exhales a small breath as Desiree laughs evilly before he and Carrie take off running towards the edge of the hill and leap off it. However, one managed to take flight (seeing as she's done this many times) while the other unfortunately went plumbing down to the bottom of the cliff, leaving the thermos to land on his head with a clank.*
Carrie: *Puts a hand on her face in disappointment* Eh, who knew being a guidance teacher would be this difficult… *Glances down at Danny* Danny, concentrate!
*Out of nowhere, Carrie finds herself retrained as the roots that were surrounded by a tree behind the group shoot up, capture her by the arms, and pull her back onto the ground to restrain her entire body.*
Carrie: *Struggles against the roots* Seriously? Who the hell wished for evil plants!?
*She tilts her head over to the side where her eyes glance back at Sam who is found restrained by two evil bushes.*
Sam: *Smiles innocently* Sorry… I didn't think she'd do it…
Carrie: *Sighs* Figures seeing as you're a plant lover, too… *Grunts and lifts her head up to speak properly* Danny, it's up to you now! You can do it!
*Just as Danny stands up, he places on a determined look before taking off flying in midair only to lose balance for a second but manages to stand back up with a proud smile until he tips over to float upside down.*
Desiree: *Scoffs* I figured the girl would be back to her usual self, but, you? *A bit shocked* You're back? How?
Carrie: *Calls from the beneath him* Danny, listen! You've got superpowers called ghost rays, use them by firing one out of your hand!
Danny: Ghost ray, ghost ray…
*However, the second he holds out his palm, expecting it to glow green, but instead, the green glow appears on his butt.*
Danny: Well, that can't be right… *Smiles* But it'll have to do!
*He turns right side up, points his glowing butt forward, and blasts the ghost ray from it which successfully hits Desiree as the genie ghost is sent away, shouting this sudden attack.*
Carrie: *A bit impressed* Huh… Well, at least it was a direct hit!
Danny: *Faces forward* Now, *Tries to screw off the lid of the thermos* while she's both grossed out and off-guard, I'll… *Uncaps it and tries to dump something out of it, but then turns back, shrugging with the thermos and cap in his hands* I don't know how to use this!
*Soon, the giant Desiree floats over towards Danny and swats him away with the back of her hand. He grunts in pain before landing back on the cliff just for the green-skinned woman to slam her hand down on him. She smiles evilly and holds her glowing pink hand out to then have scary-looking creatures appear from a distance and near the country club where Paulina's quinceañera is happening as the guests still have their eyes closed.*
Desiree: *Head leans forward to Danny with a smug* You don't remember anything, do you?
Danny: *Becomes serious* I don't need to remember everything to know I have to stop you!
*Just when Danny points a finger at her, he suddenly retracts his arm as he changes back to Danny Fenton without warning; he looks down at his current form and then looks back.*
Danny: Although, remembering would be nice.
*Desiree soon holds her fist up to form into a sledgehammer, ready to plummet Danny which causes Carrie to groan softly at this situation as she continues struggling against the roots.*
Carrie: *Feels guilt* Oh, man, this is all my fault… *Grunts* Gosh, if I had wished I never would have fought with Danny or wished for something terrible to happen to Paulina, then none of this wouldn't be happening!
Sam: *Looks with realization* Carrie, that's it… That's how you could beat her!
Carrie: *Glances back at Sam* What?
Sam: *Grunts against the evil bushes restrains* She's granting every single wish she hears! Use her wishing methods against her!
Carrie: Okay… *Lifts her head up to speak loudly once more* I wish Danny and I never had that fight! And I wish Danny, Tucker, Sam, and I remembered everything and our costumes stayed the way they are because I really, really like them because the designs are cool!
Desiree: So you have wished it… AND SO IT SHALL BEEE!
*When Desiree phases this once more, she spreads magic pink around Danny as if engulfing him, causing his arms to stretch along with his chest as it affects him. Now, the memories are flooding back within Danny's mind as he remembers the first fights between all the ghosts he had fought alongside Carrie.
His first fight with Skulker, his first fight with Vlad Masters (even memories that were odd at some point), it all came back, and soon, Danny Phantom is back and better than ever. With a smile, Danny transforms back into his ghostly self and aims the Fenton Thermos at Desiree which activates and instantly captures her.*
Desiree: No! No! NOOO! *From inside the thermos* …I gotta stop granting every wish I hear…
*And just when Danny caps off the thermos with a proud smug, the monsters slowly crowd not just him and the group, but the country club disappear within a second, including the evil plants that restrained Sam and Carrie, and the monster truck that had been chasing after Tucker as it comes to a stop.*
Tucker: *Happily* Yes!
*Unfortunately, the truck suddenly poofs away.*
Tucker: *Covering his eyes* No!
*Once every monster has been taken care of, Sam helps Carrie off the ground and immediately both girls embrace each other before making their way towards Danny who accidentally dropped the thermos on the ground while looking down, confusingly at his jumpsuit that had a new addition to it.*
Danny: *Notices the new addition on her jumpsuit as well* Did you do something to our costumes?
Carrie: Ohh, *Blushes and tugs on her pigtails* y'know, I've made a little improvement… Why? Don't you like it?
Danny: Like it? *Laughs* I love it!
Carrie: Honestly, *Gestures to Sam* since Sam removed your dad's sticker off them, we should really be thanking her for giving me the inspiration to that idea…
Sam: Awh, *Places an arm around her shoulder* that's what friends are for, Care.
Tucker: *Approaches them* Oh, man, that was close… *Glances down to find Danny bending down to pick up the thermos and remembers where he could shoot ghost rays from* Watch where you're pointing that thing!
*After this was spoken, both girls giggled at this moment and figured to enjoy the meteor shower from on top of the hill. So, reverting back to their human selves, the four friends are seated together, watching the event happen around Paulina Sanchez's birthday party until something occurs in Tucker's mind.*
Tucker: Um, weren't we invited to that party?
Sam: Yeah. And now that everything's back to normal, she's sort of expecting a visit from the ghost boy.
Tucker: And not only is she expecting a visit from him, but she's also hoping one from the masked girl, too.
Carrie: *Waves a hand off to the side* Ah, unfortunately, the masked girl will be going into retirement, but until then, the ghost girl will be taking over. And besides, *Looks at Danny* you should probably keep your end of the promise, dude.
Danny: Yeah, *Looks up* I probably should...
*But that wasn't the promise Danny had made, no, the one promise he had kept was him and the group going to the movies on Friday night, and that was tonight. So now, all four friends are seated in a theater as Trinity of Doom is currently playing.*
Danny: I never realized how different my life would have been if I hadn't met you. *Closes his eyes* I gotta say, *Opens them to look at Carrie* it's sorta cool to know.
Carrie: Same here, and I'm sorry about that stupid fight…
Danny: *Turns to properly face her* No, I'm sorry for blaming you for everything. Even about the part where I blamed you for turning us into ghosts…
Carrie: *Smiles softly* Oh, don't worry, it's all bygones, Fenton… So, now can we forget it ever happened and go back to being parents?
Danny: *Turns his body to face the screen while his head continues looking at her* So you have wished it, so shall it be.
*After this is settled, both halves can't help but blush (dreamily) at each other just to have Tucker and Sam feel irked by this moment.*
Tucker: Hey, *Gestures to Sam* we're right here!
Sam: *Gestures to the screen* And there's a movie, so, lighten up a bit.
