Total Drama Today
"So, same score for April like in the original?" Deadpool asks.
"Yup." NeoMark said.
"Same date with Irma for Tucker?" Deadpool asks.
"Yup." NeoMark went.
"Skippin'!" Deadpool went.
Once Danny's call with Tucker ended, he took a look at his next date.
User Name: Bridgette123
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 120 lb.
Home Town: Ontario, Canada
Physical Description: Tall, slender blonde girl with green eyes and fair skin.
Personality: Calm, honest, determined and hard working. I try to be an honest person and in competitions, I wanna win with integrity or leave with my head held high. I'm also a bit clumsy.
Likes and Interests: Surfing, animals, nature, beaches, honesty.
Type of person I wish to date: I am just looking for a nice, fun guy who I can rely on. Must not dislike surfing.
"Huh, another Canadian." Danny said to himself, recalling Abby and Jen. "It looks like I'm meeting her near the beach."
With that, he decided to get to bed so he can reach her as early as he could
"Huh… y'know it seems kind of weird we're getting to the next date so soon." Deadpool said.
"That's what happens when you skip the parts that are clearly just repeats of the original." NeoMark said.
"I feel like we should… kill some time, y'know?" Deadpool went.
"I… guess?" NeoMark said.
"Okay… let's chit chat." Deadpool said.
"Sure." NeoMark said.
Both stood there as the seconds passed in awkward silence.
"So… anything new you're catching?" Deadpool asks.
"I just saw this anime called "Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill"... which makes me question why in the heck all isekai these days have names that are full sentences." NeoMark said.
"Neat. That the one where the guy who cooks enters another world and cooks for some monster doggo?" Deadpool asks.
"The same one." NeoMark explained.
"Does it also follow video game rules too?" Deadpool asks.
"It does, which makes me think my readers will hate it." NeoMark said.
"Why's that?" Deadpool asks.
"Given my adding Sakura Kasugano, who I had hoped would have been a bigger deal, I'm starting to think my audience doesn't really care for video games all that much." NeoMark explained.
"Or people were expecting Supergirl, both are plausible." Deadpool said.
"True." NeoMark said.
"I'm personally expecting you to throw in a Darkstalkers girl." Deadpool said.
"Why?" NeoMark asks, unsure of what he's hinting at.
"So Morrigan and Felicia, not Black Cat, could be in here! Oh… I so had this idea for The Many Dates of Wade Wilson, where Morrigan and Felicia would [INSERT SCENARIO THAT WOULD GET ME BANNED FROM THIS WEBSITE IF I WROTE WHAT HE'S SAYING RIGHT NOW… AT THE TIME I'M WRITING THIS, IT'S THANKSGIVING SO I HOPE YOU'RE ALL HAVING A GREAT DAY OF NOT NEEDING TO KNOW WHAT HE'S SAYING] and it ends with us having sundaes! Oh wait, you censored me out? Aww man…"
"We're done talking here." NeoMark said in annoyance.
11 AM
Danny flew to the direction of the beach, where he was to meet this girl known as Bridgette123. It was at the boardwalk.
Danny stood there, adjusted his heart stricker, fixed his hair a bit and checked his breath, before standing there with the flowers in his hands.
"Okay… any minute now." He said to himself.
I hope she likes these kinds of flowers… He thought, nervous as he examined them.
"Excuse me, are you looking for a Bridgette123?" Someone asked him from his left.
Danny turned around and saw a pretty blonde girl with green eyes, wearing a cute blue top, shorts and sandals.
"That depends, are you looking for a D-Fenton?" He asks in response.
"I take it, that's you?" She asks with relief to have found him.
"Yes, I am. You must be Bridgette123..." Danny said.
"Just Bridgette will be fine..." The girl said.
"Sure... and you can call me Danny..." He said.
"Okay, Danny..." Bridgette said before he handed her some flowers.
"These are for you..." He said.
"Aw, thanks Danny. These are pretty..." She said as she admired them. "So…" She took the flowers and offered her arm. "Ready to go?"
"So, why Bridgette?" Deadpool asks.
"Well, a bit of a behind the scenes. I almost considered making the Total Drama character a bad date. I almost went with Heather, but I also considered Izzy as the new Katie Ka-Boom, being crazy instead of a walking force of nature and obsessed with Danny… but then I saw Bridgette as a person people suggested. Remembering she was Tucker's date in the original, I decided to swap her with Gwen." NeoMark explained.
"Helps that she's not a carbon copy of someone he already knows." Deadpool said.
"Sure does." NeoMark said.
After 45 minutes
Danny and Bridgette walked together, both talking about their likes and dislikes.
"So, you wanna be an astronaut?" Bridgette asks.
"Already junior certified." Danny said proudly.
"Neat." Bridgette said.
"And you?" Danny asks.
"I don't just surf for fun, I'd love to make that my career." She explained.
"Sounds fun… unless it's winter." Danny quickly commented.
"I'd probably have to fly to Australia, land of everything that can kill you, even grass." Bridgette said. "Not a problem, I don't mind surfing in dangerous waters."
If she wants to see dangerous waters, she should have seen what Lapis did at the water park. Danny thought in amusement.
"Guess you should pack shark repellant, or learn how to use a harpoon." Danny said instead.
"Nah, I can't do that. I love animals." Bridgette said.
"That so? Even if they try to eat you?" Danny asks.
"Okay, if my life is at stake, I'd try to at least defend myself, but I'm not gonna just go into the water just to fight sharks, no matter how cool that might sound." Bridgette said.
As Danny smiled at that, his stomach grumbled. He blushed in embarrassment before Bridgette's stomach grumbled as well.
"So Bridgette? What are you in the mood to eat?" Danny asked.
"I'm fine with anything except meat. I'm A vegetarian..." Bridgette said.
"Huh? A vegetarian. Just like my friend Sam.. Though she's what she calls an ultra-recyclo vegetarian ." Danny commented.
Bridgette blinked at that.
"A what?" She asked.
"It basically means vegan in some overly complicated way to sound less mainstream or whatever..." He explained.
Bridgette smiled at that.
"Huh...I think she and I would get along great then..." She said with much.
"Yeah… I kinda doubt that." Danny admitted sheepishly under his breath.
As they left for their bite to eat, they didn't notice they passed by a red haired girl who was awaiting her own date.
She did see Danny and smiled at him.
"Huh...he was kinda cute. I was almost hoping he was gonna be my date when I saw him with that sticker despite the fact that he didn't match the description. But, I guess that other girl got lucky..." The girl, Emma, said with a little disappointment.
"Ouch, hurtful for those who were hoping for her, isn't it?" Deadpool asks.
"Yeah… it kinda was." NeoMark said. "Still, I wanted to at least have her make some appearance since I did almost keep her."
"How would the reference work if it's another timeline?" Deadpool asks.
"Again, I almost put her here, so I figured giving her a cameo would work." NeoMark explained.
Danny and Bridgette went to a beach front café, one that thankfully had vegetarian options. There, Danny enjoyed his sandwich as Bridgette enjoyed a soup.
''Mmm...glad we found this place. This pumpkin soup is excellent..." Bridgette said.
"Glad you like it..." Danny said as he took another bite of his sandwich.
They then began to chat as they tried to get to know each other more.
"Glad I came stateside. It was mostly to surf but so far I've been enjoying my time with this service." Bridgette said as she took a sip.
"Likewise…" Danny said.
Granted, I doubt you went out with other superheroes, an alien, a kick butt martial artist schoolgirl or Kim Possible… Danny thought in amusement.
"So, any plans for the summer aside from the dating service?..." Danny asked.
"Well...it's kinda dumb but..." Bridgette said, only to pause out of uncertainty.
"But…?" Danny asked.
"I am actually hoping to take part in a reality show..." Bridgette said.
"Really? A reality show?" Danny asked.
Bridgette nodded with a small smile.
"Yes, it's a new show starting soon… called Total Drama Island. It's supposed to be some extreme summer camp and the winner gets a huge prize. I already sent my audition tape and I am still waiting to hear back from them..." She said.
"Huh? Cool..." Danny said.
''Thanks...hopefully they pick me. I could really use the cash prize..." She said.
"Hope you win..." Danny said.
Once they were done and paid for their meal, the two walked out together. Seeing the beach, Bridgette has an idea.
"So, Danny? Can you surf?" Bridgette asked.
"Not really… I have tried a few times but I usually get wiped out..." Danny admitted.
Unless you count last month when I used the Box Ghost for a board down a flight of stairs, but that was more skating than surfing… He thought.
"Well, you're in luck...my first lesson is free..." Bridgette said as she led him to the shore.
At the shore
Danny and Bridgette were now in the water.
After buying some swim gear from a nearby stand, Bridgette began the lesson.
"Okay, Danny. Just make sure to keep one leg out for balancing..." She instructed.
"Like this?" Danny asked as he kept one leg out and knee bent as she said.
Bridgette smiled, seeing him do well.
"There you go. Keep it up..." She encouraged him further.
Danny smiled.
If I pick her, we can do this more often. Maybe not even surf, just see her in a bathing suit too… He thought in amusement.
However, Danny's ghost sense went off and he panicked.
"Seriously? Now?" He wondered.
"Is something wrong?" Bridgette asked, noticing his expression.
Before Danny could come up with an excuse, Bridgette took notice of the water pulling back. Gasping and knowing what this was, she pulled Danny by the wrist and ran with him as the water came roaring back more violently than before.
"B-Bridgette?" Danny asks.
"I've seen this before… a massive tidal wave! Hurry!" She shouted.
Once they were far enough, she saw the waves come crashing about 30 feet further than usual, and then saw what rose from the water to cause that sudden shift.
It was a giant octopus-like creature that now hovered in their air, with a pale green color and fiery red eyes..
Seriously?! Danny thought.
Bridgette saw this and was horrified.
"Uh, is that natural?" Bridgette asks, her eyes looking as if they'd fall out.
"Welcome to Amity Park." Danny said quickly as he took her hand and pulled her away.
They ran as fast as they could as Danny thought of a way to get Bridgette to safety before he handled this creature himself.
Where is a crowd to get lost in when you need one? He thought before seeing one up ahead. Perfect!
"Bridgette! Let's-" Danny paused when he looked back, seeing Bridgette was no longer holding his hand. "Bridgette?" He asks, looking around, only to see where she was. "Uh oh…"
Bridgette was now facing the ghost squid, which was growling at her.
"Hi there, creature of the deep. Uh, so… any chance you're here for peaceful reasons or to protest what mankind is doing to your waters?" She asks nervously, hoping for a peaceful solution.
Upon seeing it raise a tentacle, Danny thought fast.
"No time for a cover story!" He said as he hid behind a sunglasses stand and morphed.
Bridgette tried to run but tripped and saw the large tentacle about to flatten her.
"Guess I don't have to worry about that audition anymore…" Bridgette said under her breath in dread as she shut her eyes, waiting for the worst.
Thankfully, Danny made it in time and got her to safety.
"You okay?" Danny asks.
Opening her eyes, Bridgette gasped as she saw she was now in the air.
"W-What the heck?!" She asks, looking to her arms and seeing a pair of white gloves holding her up.
"Let me put you down and you can go find your… uh… boyfriend you were with before you tried to talk to the seafood medley over there." Danny Phantom said.
Although she didn't see his face, Bridgette couldn't help but think something about his voice seemed trusting.
"Oh.. uh… sure. Also, not my boyfriend. This is just a blind date..." She responded sheepishly.
Danny set her down and took off before she could see his face.
With that, he saw the octopus hovering towards a snack shop, tearing the roof off before wrapping its tentacle around one man still there. It looked at him with malicious intent before Danny fired a beam in its eye, making it wince in pain and let the man go so he could be carried to safety.
With that done, Danny decided to face the creature alone.
"Dude! You are just another ghost interrupting my very fun "30-days only, girls out of town want to spend time with me" time!" Danny said angrily as he readied for battle.
Lashing out a tentacle, the octopus tried to swipe Danny away, only for him to split in the center, allowing one Danny to go above and the other to duck below before they rejoined.
Wanting this done fast, Danny fired rays into both eyes, making the creature wince in pain.
"Ha!" Danny went, only for something to happen.
A second pair of eyes opened. Then a third. Followed by a fourth.
As Danny stared in shock, the creature's other eyes reopened, now glaring at him with 8 of them.
"Oh… that's gross…" Danny said quickly before the creature shot ink at him.
With Bridgette
"Danny?!" She called out, looking for him. "Where are you?!"
Not too far away, Tucker had left a beach side café with his latest date, A girl named Emma.
However, neither seemed too enthusiastic to be here to say the least.
"Well...that was...interesting..." Emma said, not sure what else to say.
Tucker could sense the lack of actual interest in her tone.
"Let me guess. I'm not what you expected, right? I was just being truthful in my description." He said.
"I'm sorry, Tucker. You seem like a nice guy...but...well, I think you and I don't really… click, if you know I mean..." She said, trying to let him down gently.
"I get it..." Tucker said, saddened but at least glad she was being nice about it.
"Best of luck..." She said before leaving.
Once she was gone, Tucker grumbled bitterly.
Another bust. Why do I get the feeling that had it been Danny, she had been all over him? He thought, wondering how his best friend's own date was going.
He left home, disappointed that another date was another dud.
Bridgette, having not seen any of this, is still looking for her date.
"Where did he go?" She asks.
"You set her up with Tucker?! For shame!" Deadpool said.
"At first, it was gonna be the mean girl from her show whose name I can't even be bothered to search right now… but I figure we gave him at least one visible date where they ended things amicably. If you recall from the original, we had a brief chapter with Tucker on one of his dates, as well as Jazz wondering about the service, but I'm not gonna do that here because 1) you may have noticed how long this has taken and 2) I just wanna get to the dates." NeoMark said.
With Danny
His head was slammed into the sand numerous times by the giant octopoid.
"I should have paid more attention to Sam reading Lovecraft stories to us when we were 10… Actually, no, those were depressing." He said as he was lifted off the ground and squeezed tightly.
The octopus creature made a gurgling sound, glaring at him with so many eyes that were almost misplaced. All the while, Danny gritted his teeth.
He attempted to break free, but the creature's strength was actually greater than his. He managed to pull one arm out as he attempted to free himself.
He tried to fire at the creature, but the other tentacles blocked them. The extra eyes made sure it was impossible to surprise it.
"Okay… what do you know about octopusses besides the fact I keep forgetting it's octopi? Okay, I know they don't live in freshwater. The whole thing where an octopus egg hatched and lived in a girl's stomach was a hoax. And they have no bones…" Danny's eyes widened. "... their bodies are mostly meat and liquid…" With a smile, he knew what to do. "Which means…!"
As his hand glowed blue, he phased it into the creature's skin.
The octopoid's eyes widened in shock as it saw its tentacle freeze, soon following its entire body. With that, Danny was able to go intangible and get out before it fell to the ground.
"One frozen calamari, to go!" Danny said as he fired the Fenton Thermos, capturing the frozen creature.
Before he could go, he heard her.
"Danny?!" She called out again.
Unknown to her, the ghost boy was nearby and decided to make his presence known again.
"Over here..." Danny said, having changed behind a nearby sign.
She let out a breath of relief.
"Glad to see you're okay. I almost thought you were octopus food..." She said before recalling who saved her. "What was that all about? And any idea who that flying kid with the white hair was?"
"Oh, that was Danny Phantom. He is kinda the local superhero around here. He is the one who handles all the ghost attacks and stuff like that..." Danny explained.
"Ghost? That thing was a ghost? But I thought they were like semi-visible dudes in white or blue, not something you'd expect Godzilla to fight." Bridgette said.
"Yeah… they kinda come in different varieties here. Some like you thought, others look like something you'd see in a giant monster movie." Danny answered her.
"That sounds… like a nightmare." Bridgette said.
"Yeah, it kind of does…" Danny admitted.
"So… is it safe to go back? No concern for any risk of radiation or other hazardous materials that thing probably left?" Bridgette asks.
"Uh… no." Danny said before looking back to where the fight took place. "Although I should consider that as a thing…" He said under his breath.
"So… is it safe to go back and surf?" Bridgette asks.
"Sure is." Danny said, offering his arm to her.
Although hesitant, Bridgette took one look at Danny's smile and felt calmer. She took his arm as they walked together.
20 minutes later
Now that the giant octopus was dealt with, Danny and Bridgette went back to their surfing lesson.
Using the surf boards they rented from the shop, they began surfing on the waves.
Danny, due to still being a newbie, was wiped out a few times but Bridgette helped him and gave him some tips to have a better balance.
"The arms being out isn't just for how, it's also for balancing. Use them..." She advised.
Danny did so, and grinned when he saw that it was working.
"Alright..." He cheered as he managed to stay on the board.
"Got to say, you're a fast learner. Most wouldn't get it after 20 tries when I show them tips, but you got it after about 10 tries..." Bridgette said, pleased he did so well.
"Thanks..." Danny said, happy that he was getting the hang of it.
Soon enough they were both riding the waves and having a fun time together. Danny even managed to hang ten at one point, thanks to Bridgette's coaching.
They surfed for a few hours and before either of them knew it, it was getting dark and the tide was coming in, which they knew meant that they had to come in too.
"That was fun..." She said after she changed back into her regular clothes.
"Sure was...' Danny said, having met up with her after he too changed.
"But… looks like our time's up." Bridgette said sadly as Danny walked with her
As the two teens left the beach and started walking home, or in Bridgette's case, tried catching a taxi to get her back to where she and her family were staying, they continued chatting.
"I must say, Bridgette, despite how things started, I had fun…" Danny said.
"Same. Still not sure about that demon seafood monster. Part of me thinks you should straight up leave this town…" Bridgette admitted.
"You'd think that but I kind of got used to it." Danny said.
Plus, there is no way I can leave since I don't see the Justice League or Avengers around here. He thought.
The two made it to the spot where her taxi was coming.
"Guess this is where we part ways." Bridgette said..
"Guess so. You got my email in case you wanna keep contact, right?" Danny asks.
"Definitely." Bridgette said with a smile before hugging Danny. "Take care, Danny Fenton."
"Take care, Bridgette." Danny said as he hugged her back.
Once she let go, she entered the taxi and, as it left, waved to Danny.
Danny waved back, smiling. Once she was out of sight, he found a spot to morph and fly home.
As he flew as fast as he could, he looked back at the beach with a pleasant look on his face.
"That was some girl, that Bridgette…" He said before recalling something. "Huh… I never got her last name… Eh… I'll ask her later."
With that, he resumed the flight home.
New chapter with thanks to Flower Princess11.
Feel free to send me more suggestions, just remember the rules I established.
Menatron the Angel of Ideas: Huh? Do you mean Uchiha? Which she is not?
RonaldM40196867: Because she did in the original. That depends on series but usually Mikey. Hard to say, probably somewhere between 2003 and 2012.
guardian1989: Thanks. I did consider Karai as a date, but I decided to keep April instead.
Invader Johnny: Yup.
pokemon fan 1991: Yup, it was Bridgette.
Jebest4781: Thanks.
Guest: Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful too :)
Whotoonhouse75: You're welcome.
ScarecrowReaper: That so? Gold sticker for you. :)
61394: Nope, Total Drama, which is technically not a CN original. I can think of one in particular I want to feature.
cybirddude: 1. Well, I am doing a series where he fights other paranormal creatures, and he's already met an alien, so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility he'd meet other supernatural forces. 2. At best, I can consider Ace Attorney characters. 3. Interesting idea on his kids not inheriting powers. Also, pretty sure the Kazama family can only do that to those with the Devil Gene. After all, Jin wouldn't have a devil form if that were true. 4. I could think of her trying to stand up to or endanger them, but I also see most of the girls so far being able to defend themselves. 5. That I'm not too sure on. 6. I am thinking of a Tekken character. 7. I already have a replacement for Kitty from a character you suggested. 8. Same with them, especially Musa.
Bob the mammoth: Same.
Warrior of the Forbidden Flame: Thanks for the suggestion.
djinn: It's Bridgette from Total Drama, having been swapped with Gwen from the original story.
Leonardo: We shall see...
Luiz4200: Long distance relationship?
cg037: Thanks.
IrishKatana: Sorry, company secrets...
